Message

Coop  Pank kasvatas  2022. aastal kuuendat  tegutsemisaastat järjest ärimahtusid
ligi 40%.

Aastaga  kasvas  Coop  Panga  klientide  arv  32 400 võrra  (+28%) ja aktiivselt
arveldavate  klientide arv 15 800 võrra (+31%).  Uutest klientidest olid 29 400

Võrdluseks:  2017. aastal  liitus  Coop  Pangaga 5000, 2018. aastal 9000, 2019.
aastal 19 000, 2020. aastal 23 000 ja 2021. aastal 27 900 uut klienti.

2022. aasta  lõpu seisuga  ulatus Coop  Panga hoiuste  maht 1,5 miljardi euroni,
kasvades  aastaga  409 miljoni  euro  võrra  (+37%). Nõudmiseni hoiused kasvasid
aastaga   39% ja   tähtajalised   hoiused  36%. Panga  finantseerimiskulu  püsis
sarnaselt  eelmisele aastale 0,7% tasemel. Panga  hoiuste turuosa kasvas aastaga
4% pealt 5,5% peale.

Coop  Panga laenuportfell  ulatus 2022. aasta  lõpu seisuga 1,3 miljardi euroni,
kasvades  aastaga 347 miljoni euro võrra (+36%). Suurimat kasvu näitasid aastaga

Laenuportfelli     kvaliteet    püsis    2022. aastal    hoolimata    muutustele
majanduskeskkonnas  väga hea. Võimalike laenukahjumite katteks moodustati 2022.
aastal  5,2 miljonit eurot  provisjone, mida  oli  kasvanud  laenuportfellist ja
majanduskeskkonna  muutusest tingituna +110% enam kui aasta varem. Krediidiriski
kulumäär tõusis võrreldes 2021. aastaga 0,3% tasemelt 0,5% tasemele.

Panga  netotulud ulatusid 2022. aastal 55 miljoni euroni, kasvades aastaga 15,4
miljonit  eurot (+39%). Suurima  panuse tulude kasvu  andsid neto intressitulud,
mis  kasvasid aastaga  15,2 miljonit eurot  (+43%). Väga  head kasvu näitasid ka
neto  teenustasutulud,  mis  kasvasid  aastaga  0,7 miljonit eurot (+23%). Panga

turunduskulud.

51%. Panga  kulu-tulu suhe langes aastaga  57% pealt 50% tasemele ja omakapitali
tootlus tõusis 12,9% pealt 16,8% tasemele.

8200 aktsionäri.

147 000 igapäevapanganduse klienti.

Hoiuste  maht kasvas  kvartaliga 154 miljoni  euro võrra  (+11%) ja ulatus aasta

rohkem,  kui  oli  III  kvartalis  ja  98% enam,  kui  oli eelmisel aastal samal
perioodil.  Kvartaalset  kasumlikkust  mõjutasid  enim intressitulud, pangagrupi
intressitulud kasvasid kvartaliga 3 miljonit eurot (+24%).

Coop Panga juhatuse esimehe Margus Rinki kommentaar tulemustele:

?2022.  aasta kujunes selliseks, millisena me  aasta tagasi prognoose tehes teda
kindlasti   ette   kujutada   ei   suutnud:   aasta   alguses  olime  seljatamas
koroonakriisi,  ootused majanduskeskkonnale olid mõõdukalt positiivsed, ent siis
algas  sõda Ukrainas,  mis eskaleeris  nii energia-  kui ka  toorainekriisi, mis
omakorda kiirendas kaupade ja teenuste hinnatõusu. Inflatsioon kiirenes ja selle
ohjamiseks hakkas Euroopa Keskpank tõstma baasintressimäärad. Sellest tulenevalt
hakkas  ka euribor  järsult tõusma  ning paljud  eraisikute ja ettevõtete laenud
muutusid   varasemast   kallimaks.   Teisalt  hakkasid  hoiustajad  teenima  oma
tähtajaliste  hoiuste pealt senisest suuremat intressi. Kokkuvõttes defineerisid
nimetatud muutused suuresti rõhuasetused pangajuhtide töölaual.

Vaatamata väljakutseid pakkunud majanduskeskkonnale õnnestus Coop Pangal 2022.
aastal juba kuuendal järjestikkusel tegutsemisaastal kasvatada oma ärimahte ligi
40% ning jätkata oma kasvustrateegia elluviimist.

Aastaga kasvas panga klientide arv 32 400 võrra ja jõudis 147 000-ni. Aktiivselt
arveldavate klientide arv kasvas 15 800 võrra ning jõudis 66 800-ni. Selleks, et
Coop Pank oleks jätkuvalt kergesti ligipääsetav kõigile eestimaalastele,
jätkasime klientide teenindamist 15 kontoris 12 erinevas Eesti linnas. Nii laia
mehitatud müügi- ja teeninduskanali olemasolust on saamas üha enam meie
konkurentsieelis. Samas jätkasime ka digitaalsete pangakanalite arendamist.
Mobiilirakenduse uuenduse käigus paranes selle töökindlus, disain ja võimekus
uute funktsioonide lisamiseks, samas säilitasime varasema kasutuslihtsuse.

Coop Pank on panustanud keerulisel ajal inimeste kindlustunde suurendamisse.
Selleks hakkasime lisaks juba edukalt juurutatud väikelaenu kindlustusele
pakkuma ka liisingumakse kindlustust, mis kaitseb eraisikust autoliisijat
töötuks jäämise ja töövõime kaotamise korral makseraskuste eest. Ka meie
eraisikute deebetkaartidega kaasa tulev tasuta ostukindlustus ning kõiki
pereliikmeid kaitsev kuumaksepõhine reisikindlustus on meie klientide poolt
hästi vastu võetud.

Selleks, et kodu rajamine oleks lihtsam ka neil, kes elavad tõmbekeskustest
eemal, aktsepteerime ainsa Eestis tegutseva pangana KredExi käendust
maapiirkonda eluaseme soetamiseks. Lisaks aktsepteerime omafinantseeringu nõude
vähendamiseks ka kõiki teisi KredExi käendusi ja MES-i kaaslaenu, mis on samuti
mõeldud kodu rajamiseks just maapiirkondadesse.

2022. aasta lõpus värskendasime oma kommunikatsioonikeelt kutsudes ellu panga
mainekampaania, mille keskmesse tõstsime oma kliendid. Kampaanias jutustavad oma
edulugusid Eesti inimesed ja ettevõtjad, kes kinnitavad isiklikule kogemusele
tuginedes, et  Coop Pank kuulab oma kliendid ära, arvestab kohalike oludega, on
paindlik ning tegutseb kiiresti.

Lisaks eestimaalaste olime eelmisel aastal populaarne valik ka Eestisse jõudnud
Ukraina sõjapõgenikele. Aastaga võtsime oma kliendiks üle 4 000 Ukraina
kodaniku, kellele pakume tasuta arveldamise võimalust. Coop Pank toetas koos
Coopi piirkondlike ühistutega miljoni euroga ka Punase Risti tegevusi Ukrainas,
et aidata sõjas kannatavaid inimesi kõige hädavajalikuga.

2022. aastat võib Coop Pangas pidada rohepöörde alguse aastaks. Pälvisime
esimese pangana Eestis rahvusvaheliselt keskkonnamõju hindavalt
organisatsioonilt Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) reitingu B-, mis kinnitab, et
oleme keskkonnamõjude valdkonnas head juhtimist üles näitav ettevõte. Lisaks
astusime 2022. aastal ÜRO keskkonnaprogrammi finantsalgatuse (UNEP FI) liikmeks
ja kinnitasime vastutustundliku panganduse põhimõtted, millega viime panga
äristrateegia vastavusse ÜRO kestliku arengu ja Pariisi kliimaleppe
eesmärkidega, et kasvatada positiivset mõju ühiskonnale. Astume kliimamõju
juhtimisel julgeid samme ja soovime hiljemalt 2050. aastaks saada
kliimaneutraalseks pangaks.

Äritulemuste vallas pakkus läbi aasta suurt väljakutset hoiuste kaasamine.
Kallinenud esmatarbekaupade, kütuste ning tõusvate laenuintresside keskkonnas
võtsid kliendid kasutusele varasemaid sääste ja seetõttu pidurdus hoiuste kasv
turul järsult. See omakorda põhjustas Eesti pangandusturul veelgi suurema
konkurentsi hoiuste kaasamise nimel ning pankade finantseerimiskulu on kasvamas.
2022. aasta lõpu seisuga ulatus Coop Panga hoiuste maht 1,5 miljardi euroni,
kasvades aastaga 409 miljoni euro võrra ehk 37%.

Kuigi sõda, tarneraskused ja inflatsioon suurendasid aasta jooksul nii
eraklientide kui ettevõtete ebakindlust tulevikus osas, püsis
finantseerimistoodete nõudlus kõrge kuni sügiseni, mil hakkasime nägema uute
laenutaotluste arvu vähenemist. Aastaga kasvas meie laenuportfell 347 miljoni
euro võrra (+36%) ning jõudis 1,3 miljardi euroni. Üle mitmete aastate tekkis
rahale positiivne hind ning see võimaldas pankadel teenida täiendavat
intressitulu. Sarnase mõju jätkumist võib oodata pangandussektoris ka 2023.
aastal. Portfelli kvaliteet püsis läbi aasta väga heal tasemel: võlas oleva
portfelli osatähtsus oli aasta lõpus vaid 1,5%. Siiski näeme klientide
finantsaruannetest peamiste tulemusnäitajate mõningast langust ning suurendasime
seetõttu võimalike laenukahjumite katteks tehtavaid provisjone 5,2 miljoni
euroni.

Coop Panga ärimahtude jätkuv kasv on toonud kaasa oodatud mastaabiefekti, mis
tähendab, et meie tulud kasvavad kiiremini kui kulud. 2022. aastal teenis pank
55 miljonit eurot tulusid, aastane kasv 39% ja tegevuskulud olid 27 miljonit
eurot, aastane kasv 21%. Selle tulemusena paranesid aastaga meie olulisemad
tulemusnäitajad: kasum kasvas 20,4 miljoni euroni ehk 51%, kulu-tulu suhe langes
50% peale ning omakapitali tootlus kasvas 16,8% tasemele.

Vaatamata ebakindlatele oludele majanduskeskkonnas kaasasime 2022. aastal panga
kasvu jätkamiseks kolmel korral kapitali: kevadel väljastasime tähtajalisi
allutatud võlakirju, suvel tegime suunatud emisiooni tähtajatutele allutatud
võlakirjadele ja sügisel emiteerisime uusi aktsiaid. Kõik kapitali kaasamised
osutusid edukaks ja Coop Panga vastu kõrget usaldust üles näidanud investorid
investeerisid nimetatud rahakaasamiste käigus panka kokku 46,4 miljonit eurot.

Möödunud aastal maksis Coop Pank esimest korda aktsionäridele dividende.
Täitsime sellega 2019. aastal IPO käigus aktsionäridele antud lubaduse: maksta
alates 2021. aasta kasumist dividendideks 25%. 2022. aasta jooksul suurenes meie
aktsionäride arv 8200 võrra ning aasta lõpu seisuga oli Coop Pangal 36 045
aktsionäri.

Täitsime 2022. aastal kõik endale seatud eesmärgid ja investorile antud
lubadused ning jätkame meile seni edu toonud strateegiaga. Meie strateegiline
eesmärk on 2027. aasta alguseks kasvatada panga turuosa Eestis 10%-ni ja
laenuportfell vähemalt 2 miljardi euroni ning jõuda seeläbi positsioonile, kus
iga kümnes eestimaalane arveldab Coop Pangas - see tähendab vähemalt 150 000
arveldavat klienti. Ärimahtude kasvatamise tulemusena seab pank eesmärgiks
tegutseda kasvava efektiivsusega (kulu-tulu suhe alla 50%) ning pakkuda
aktsionäridele korralikku omakapitali tootlust (ROE vähemalt 15%). 2022. aastal
me need tasemed juba ka saavutasime ning isegi ületasime.

Tänan kõiki Coop Panga kliente, aktsionäre ja töötajad suurepärase aasta eest!
Meie eesmärk on ehitada Coop Panka selliselt, et see oleks igaühe edulugu.
Edulugu kliendile. Edulugu aktsionärile. Edulugu töötajale."

than  in  Q3  and  98% more  than  in  the  same  period  last  year.  Quarterly
profitability  was most affected  by interest income,  the bank group's interest
income increased by 3 million euros (+24%) in the quarter.


Comments of the CEO of Coop Pank Margus Rink:

"The year 2022 turned out to be what we certainly could not imagine it to be
like when we made forecasts a year ago: at the beginning of the year we were on
the back of the corona crisis, expectations for the economic environment were
moderately positive, but then the war in Ukraine started, which escalated the
energy and commodity crisis, which in its turn accelerated the increase in the
prices of goods and services. Inflation accelerated, and the European Central
Bank began to raise base interest rates to control it. As a result, the euribor
also started to rise sharply, and many private and corporate loans became more
expensive than they were before. On the other hand, savers started to earn
higher interest on their term deposits. All in all, these changes largely
defined the priorities on the desks of bank managers.

Despite  the challenging  economic environment,  Coop Pank  managed to  grow its
business   volumes   by  almost  40% in  2022, its  sixth  consecutive  year  of
operations, and continue to execute its growth strategy.

Over  the year, the number of the bank's clients increased by 32,400 to 147,00.
The  number of active clients increased  by 15,800 to 66,800. In order to ensure
that  Coop Pank continues to be easily accessible to all Estonians, we continued
to serve our clients at 15 branches in 12 different Estonian cities. Having such
a  wide manned  service channel  is becoming  an increasingly bigger competitive
advantage  for us. At the same time, we continued to develop our digital banking
channels.  The update  of the  mobile app  improved its  reliability, design and
capability for the addition of new functions, whilst retaining its previous ease
of use.

Coop  Pank has contributed to increasing  people's confidence during a difficult
time.  In order to do  this, in addition to  the already successfully introduced
small  loan  insurance,  we  started  offering  lease  payment  insurance, which
protects  private car  leasing clients  from payment  difficulties if  they lose
their  job or  capacity for  work. Also  our private  debit cards come with free
purchase insurance, and the monthly payment-based travel insurance that protects
all family members is also well received by our customers.

We  strive to  make getting  a home  easier for  people who  live outside bigger
centres  and we're therefore the only bank operating in Estonia that accepts the
guarantee of KredEx for acquiring a home in a rural area. In order to reduce the
self-financing  requirement, we also accept all  other KredEx guarantees and co-
financing  from the Rural Development Foundation, which is also meant for people
setting up their homes in rural areas.

In  late 2022, we refreshed  our communication language  by launching the bank's
image  campaign, which  focused on  our clients.  The campaign features Estonian
people  and entrepreneurs telling their success stories, who also confirm, based
on their personal experience, that Coop Pank listens to its clients, takes local
conditions into account, is flexible and acts quickly.

In  addition  to  Estonians,  we  were  also  a popular choice for Ukrainian war
refugees  who arrived in Estonia last year. Over the year, we accepted more than
4,000 Ukrainian  citizens  as  our  clients,  to  whom  we offer free settlement
options.  Coop  Pank  and  the  regional  cooperatives  of  Coop  supported  the
operations  of the  Red Cross  in Ukraine  with a  million euros  to help people
affected by the war with basic necessities.

2022 can  be considered the year when the green transition started at Coop Pank.
We  became the  first bank  in Estonia  to receive  a B-  rating from the Carbon
Disclosure  Project  (CDP),  an  international  environmental  impact assessment
organisation,  which  confirms  that  we're  a  well-managed company in terms of
environmental  impact. In  2022, we also  became a  member of the United Nations
Environment  Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) and approved the Responsible
Banking  Principles, which make the bank's  business strategy comply with the UN
Sustainable  Development Goals and the objectives of the Paris Climate Agreement
to  increase our positive  impact on society.  We take bold  steps to manage our
climate  impact  and  strive  to  become  a  climate neutral bank by 2050 at the
latest.

In  terms  of  business  performance,  raising  deposits  was  a major challenge
throughout  the year. In an environment of higher prices for essential goods and
fuels  as well as rising borrowing  rates, customers tapped into earlier savings
and the growth of deposits on the market slowed down sharply. This, in its turn,
led to even more competition for deposits on the Estonian banking market and the
financing  costs of banks increased. The deposit portfolio of Coop Pank amounted
to  1.5 billion euros as at the end  of 2022 - an increase of 409 million euros,
i.e. 37%, over the year.

Although  the war, supply difficulties and inflation increased uncertainty about
the  future for both private clients and  businesses during the year, demand for
financial  products remained high until autumn, when we started to see a decline
in  new loan applications. Over the year, our loan portfolio grew by 347 million
euros  (+36%) to 1.3 billion euros. Over the number of years, the price of money
turned  positive, allowing banks to earn additional interest income. We expect a
similar  impact to continue  in the banking  sector in 2023. The  quality of the
portfolio  remained at a very  good level throughout the  year: the share of the
portfolio in debt at the end of the year was only 1.5%. However, we are seeing a
deterioration  in key performance indicators in  the financial statements of our
clients  and have  therefore increased  provisions for  potential loan losses to
5.2 million euros.

The  continuing  growth  in  the  business  volumes  of Coop Pank has led to the
expected scale effect, which means that our revenues are growing faster than our
costs. In 2022, the bank earned revenues of 55 million euros, an annual increase
of  39%, and  its  operating  expenses  amounted  to 27 million euros, an annual
increase  of 21%. As a  result of this,  our key performance indicators improved
over  the year: profit increased to  20.4 million euros, or 51%, the cost/income
ratio fell to 50% and the return on equity increased to 16,8%.

Despite  the uncertain economic  environment, we raised  capital to continue the
bank's  growth  in  2022 on  three  occasions:  in  spring  we issued fixed-term
subordinated  bonds, in  summer we  organised a  private placement  of perpetual
subordinated  bonds and in autumn we issued new shares. All instances of raising
capital  proved to  be successful  and the  investors who  showed high levels of
trust in Coop Pank invested 46.4 million euros in the bank.

Last year, Coop Pank paid dividends to shareholders for the first time. By doing
this, we kept the promise made to the shareholders during the IPO: to pay 25% of
the  profit  as  dividends  from  2021. In  2022, the number of our shareholders
increased by 8200 and at the end of the year Coop Pank had 36,045 shareholders.

In  2022, we delivered  on all  the targets  we had  set ourselves  and kept the
promises  we made to  investors, and we'll  continue with the  strategy that has
brought  us success so far. Our strategic  goal is to increase the bank's market
share  in Estonia to 10% and  the loan portfolio to  at least 2 billion euros by
the  beginning of 2027, and thereby reach a  position where one in ten Estonians
settles with Coop Pank - this means at least 150,000 active clients. As a result
of  the growth  in business  volumes, the  bank aims  to operate with increasing
efficiency  (cost/income  ratio  below  50%) and  to offer shareholders a decent
return  on equity (ROE of  at least 15%). We already  achieved and even exceeded
these levels in 2022.

I  would like to thank all the  clients, shareholders and employees of Coop Pank
for a great year! Our goal is to build Coop Pank to be everyone's success story.
A  success story for clients. A success  story for shareholders. A success story
for employees."
