Bigbank AS Results for May 2025

Message

May was a stable month for Bigbank - both the loan and deposit portfolios grew
at a steady pace, and profitability remained at a solid level.

The loan portfolio increased by a total of 43 million euros in May. The largest
contributions came from business loans and home loans, which grew by 22 million
and 15 million euros, respectively. The consumer loan portfolio grew by 6
million euros.

The deposit portfolio grew by a total of 26 million euros in May. In a declining
interest rate environment, the savings deposit product became more attractive to
customers, with its portfolio increasing by 18 million euros during the month.
The term deposit portfolio also returned to growth, increasing by 8 million
euros.

It is encouraging that despite falling interest rates, Bigbank has increased its
net interest income during the first five months of 2025. The strong growth of
the loan portfolio, along with maintaining the deposit portfolio at an optimal
volume and pricing level, has offset the decline in interest income caused by
the drop in Euribor and the upward pressure on interest expenses resulting from
the growth of the deposit portfolio. As of the end of May, net interest income
for 2025 exceeded the result for the same period in 2024 by 1 million euros.

A positive development was the continued decline in net allowances for expected
credit losses and provision expenses compared to 2024. In May, the expense
amounted to 0.9 million euros, bringing the total for the five-month period to
6.7 million euros - 4.4 million euros, or 40%, less than in the same period last
year. This improvement was primarily driven by better repayment behaviour in the
consumer loan segment across all three Baltic countries.

Net profit for May was 3.4 million euros, representing a strong result. In
addition to the increase in net interest income and the decline in net expected
credit losses, net fee and commission income rose by 0.5 million euros over the
five-month period, while administrative expenses decreased by 0.4 million euros.

Behind the bank's growth and profitability is a strong team, which had grown to
600 employees by the end of May. The expansion of the team, combined with salary
increases, led to a 2.2 million euro rise in personnel expenses over the five-
month period.

A negative development was the 1.3 million euro increase in income tax expenses
over the same period, mainly due to higher income tax rates introduced in
Estonia and Lithuania at the beginning of 2025.

Compared to the financial results published for May 2024, the net interest
income and the net allowance for expected credit losses for the prior period
have been adjusted, both reduced by 1.1 million euros. The adjustment is related
to an identified error, where interest income from impaired financial assets had
been accrued on the gross exposure rather than on a net basis. This correction
does not impact the net profit for May 2024.
