Outlook and guidance

• 2026 year-end total income run-rate target is NOK 285m–295m; cost/income guidance is ~54%, or 50% excluding one-offs.

• Guidance reflects redomiciliation expenses and an expected Q4 impairment of the old core banking platform; lending growth and a controlled yield decline are key income drivers.

• Redomiciliation to Liechtenstein is expected to be completed by end-Q2 2027; it is intended to improve capital efficiency and support growth.

• The new core banking platform is expected to be fully in use toward year-end 2026, with limited day-to-day operational impact during migration.
