Investments and business practices

The Board of Directors of Kvika banki has appointed Jón Birgir Jónsson as CEO of the Bank. Jón Birgir will assume the role on 1 December, succeeding Ármann Þorvaldsson, who announced earlier this year his intention to step down.

Jón Birgir brings extensive experience from international financial markets, having spent most of his career in London and New York with two of the world’s leading asset management firms.

From 2013 to 2025, Jón Birgir worked at Neuberger Berman in London, where he was a partner and held a senior management position. He joined the firm to strengthen its global fixed income capabilities and subsequently became increasingly involved in relationships with professional and institutional investors. Prior to that, he worked at J.P. Morgan Asset Management from 1998, both in New York and London, as a portfolio manager specialising in fixed income and global interest rate markets.

Jón Birgir holds a BSc in Mathematics from the University of Iceland and a Master’s degree in Financial Engineering from New York University. Despite spending much of his career abroad, he has maintained strong ties with the Icelandic business community, including through his role as a board member of the British-Icelandic Chamber of Commerce.

Sigurður Hannesson, Chairman of the Board of Kvika banki:

“We are very pleased to welcome Jón Birgir to Kvika’s strong team. His extensive experience in financial markets and strong international network will be valuable as we continue to develop and grow the Bank.

Kvika has grown and evolved rapidly in recent years and today has a diversified business with exciting opportunities for further growth and development, both in Iceland and in the UK, where we have successfully built a profitable operation. Jón Birgir’s extensive financial markets experience and strong international network are well aligned with the opportunities ahead for Kvika.

I would also like to thank Ármann Þorvaldsson for his important contribution to Kvika. Under his leadership, the Bank has grown significantly and developed a strong and diversified business. Ármann, together with all the talented employees who have contributed to this journey, deserves considerable credit for these achievements.”

Jón Birgir Jónsson, incoming CEO of Kvika banki:

“First and foremost, I am proud and grateful for the trust placed in me. This is an incredibly exciting opportunity, and the Bank is exceptionally well positioned for continued growth, with a strong infrastructure, a robust balance sheet and outstanding employees. Our objective is, and will remain, to provide our clients with high-quality financial services.”

Jón Birgir Jónsson appointed CEO of Kvika banki

Robust growth in net interest income alongside a reduction in operating expenses.

At a board meeting on 12 May 2026, the Board of Directors and the CEO approved the condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Kvika banki hf. for the first quarter of 2026.

Highlights of performance in the first quarter (Q1 2026):

Profit before tax from continuing operations amounts to ISK 1,809 million in Q1 2026, compared to ISK 701 million in Q1 2025, increasing by ISK 1,108 million from previous year or 158%.

Post-tax profit from continuing operations of the Kvika group amounts to ISK 1,374 million in Q1 2026, compared to ISK 186 million in Q1 2025, increasing by ISK 1,188 million from previous year.

Net interest income amounts to ISK 3,266 million in Q1 2026, compared to ISK 2,917 million in Q1 2025, increasing by ISK 349 million from previous year or 12.0%.

Net interest margin was 4.5% in Q1 2026, compared to 4.4% in Q1 2025.

Net fee and commission income amounts to ISK 1,486 million in Q1 2026, compared to ISK 1,520 million in Q1 2025, decreasing by ISK 34 million from previous year or 2.3%.

Other net operating income amounts to ISK 135 million in Q1 2026, compared to ISK 12 million in Q1 2025, increasing by ISK 123 million from previous year.

Administrative expenses amount to ISK 3,014 million Q1 2026, compared to ISK 3,090 million in Q1 2025, decreasing by ISK 76 million from previous year or 2.5%.

Pre-tax return on tangible equity (RoTE) from continuing operations was 15.7% Q1 2026, compared to 7.8% in Q1 2025.

Earnings per share from continuing operations amounted to ISK 0.31 in Q1 2026, compared to ISK 0.04 in Q1 2025.

Key balance sheet figures as at 31.3.2026:

Deposits from customers amount to ISK 190 billion, compared to ISK 173 billion at year-end 2025 and increased by 9.8% during the quarter.

Loans to customers amount to ISK 217 billion, compared to ISK 208 billion at year-end 2025 and increased by 4.3% during the quarter.

Total assets amount to ISK 360 billion, compared to ISK 343 billion at year-end 2025.

Total equity of the group amount to ISK 67 billion, compared to ISK 69 billion at year-end 2025.

The capital adequacy ratio (CAR) was 26.7%, compared to 26.8% at year-end 2025, as determined on the basis of the unaudited net earnings in the quarter. Kvika's capital ratio as calculated under the Financial Undertakings Act No. 161/2002 was 26.2% at the end of March 2026.

Total liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) of the group was 291%, compared to 404% at year-end 2025.

Total assets under management amount to ISK 450 billion, compared to ISK 469 billion at year-end 2025.

The Board of Directors of Kvika has convened a shareholders’ meeting on 4 June 2026, proposing a special dividend of ISK 2.35 per share, equivalent to just over ISK 10 billion. At the Annual General Meeting on 18 March, it was noted that the Company’s capital position would remain very strong and that the Board would consider further distributions later in the year. As the proposed merger with Arion Banki will not proceed, there is now increased capacity to return capital to shareholders.

In formulating the proposal, the Board also considered the existing authorisation to repurchase up to 10% of the Company’s share capital. Accordingly, and if conditions permit, the Board also plans to repurchase shares for up to ISK 4 billion later in the year.

“The first quarter of 2026 was strong for the Bank, with continued growth in net interest income, disciplined cost control, and solid performance across key areas of the business.

Shortly after the end of the quarter, it was announced that merger discussions between Kvika and Arion had been discontinued following the outcome of preliminary discussions with the Competition Authority. Considerable and thorough work was invested in these discussions, as the parties believed that a merger could create significant value for shareholders and customers.

Kvika continues to execute on the strategy set out nearly two years ago, delivering meaningful growth that supports value creation for shareholders and other stakeholders, while progressing well towards the targets outlined at Kvika’s Investor Day 2024.

An important next step is to optimise the Bank’s capital structure. In April, Kvika issued Additional Tier 1 (AT1) capital instruments for the first time, amounting to approximately ISK 4 billion. The issuance took place in Sweden and was very well received, with pricing at 4.25% over interbank rates, significantly better than anticipated.

The proceeds from this issuance, together with the Bank’s already strong capital position, enable the Board to propose a dividend distribution of over ISK 10 billion at the shareholders’ meeting convened for early June. In addition, the strong capital position allows the Bank to target share buybacks of up to ISK 4 billion during the year, without compromising loan book growth or financial strength.

If these initiatives are completed, Kvika will have returned over ISK 40 billion to shareholders in just two years, while at the same time achieving strong growth in its operations. This optimisation of the Bank’s capital structure is also expected to have a meaningful positive impact on return on equity going forward.

The Bank will continue to build on the strong foundations established in recent years, supported by robust operations and a clear strategic direction.”

Financial Results for Q1 2026

Kvika bank has appointed Anna Rut Ágústsdóttir as the Bank’s Deputy CEO. Anna Rut will assume this role alongside her current position as Managing Director of the Bank’s Operations and Development division, thereby supporting continued leadership and the execution of the Bank’s strategic initiatives. 

Anna Rut has worked within the Kvika Group since the Bank’s establishment in 2015 and with its predecessor since 2007.

“Kvika’s performance in the third quarter reflects the continued strength of the bank’s core operations. Operating profit remained stable between quarters, supported by loan book growth, a strong interest margin, and diversified income streams. The bank’s liquidity position also remains very strong and the capital ratio high, establishing further room for growth.

Loan book growth, underpinned by a strong net interest margin, has been a key driver of results this year. We are now well on track to meet our full-year lending targets and have successfully developed the bank’s loan portfolio in line with our strategy, focusing on a well-diversified and secured lending base.

Challenging conditions in Iceland’s securities markets have negatively affected the bank’s fee income generation, particularly in Asset Management and Capital Markets, while Corporate Finance

has performed well. Kvika’s operations in the UK continue to deliver strong results in both lending and investment activities and had a record profit in the third quarter of ISK 563 million.

Inflation and a high-interest rate environment have proven more persistent than anticipated, though there are clear signs that domestic economic activity is slowing. Despite this, households and businesses generally remain in a strong position to withstand temporary headwinds, with moderate debt levels, some savings, and continued low default rates.

Although recent events, such as the suspension of operations at the aluminium smelter in Grundartangi and uncertainty following the Supreme Court’s ruling on variable-rate loans, are expected to affect short-term economic activity, we do not believe this will have a material impact on Kvika’s operations. Our liquidity and capital positions remain exceptionally strong, lending growth is on target, and our net interest margin has remained stable. Furthermore, we benefit from a degree of built-in risk diversification, as part of our loan portfolio is not directly linked to Icelandic market conditions.

The merger process with Arion Bank is progressing well, with due diligence work nearing completion and preliminary discussions with the Icelandic Competition Authority now formally underway. We expect the process to take some time, but while it continues, we remain focused on our day-to-day operations and on creating long-term value for our shareholders and customers.”

At a board meeting on 5 November 2025, the Board of Directors and the CEO approved the interim consolidated financial statements of the Kvika banki hf. for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025.

“Kvika concludes a dynamic second quarter in a very strong position. The bank delivered its highest quarterly operating profit to date, with profit before tax from banking operations exceeding ISK 2 billion for the first time. This result reflects the strength of our core operations and the initial steps taken in our strategic focus on banking and increased lending following the sale of TM.

We achieved several important milestones during the period. Kvika Corporate Finance led the highly successful sale of the government’s stake in Íslandsbanki, the bank completed its first EUR bond issuance, and a new ISK 8 billion institutional credit fund was launched within Kvika Asset Management. Kvika also introduced a new mortgage product under the Auður heima brand, which was met with strong demand and represents a meaningful addition to the Group’s product offering.

At the end of May, we received two proposals to begin merger discussions, one from Arion Banki and one from Íslandsbanki. Kvika’s board concluded that neither offer fully reflected the bank’s value and initiated a structured process to solicit improved proposals and benchmark them against our standalone plan. The outcome of that process was that Arion’s proposal was deemed most

favourable to shareholders and that a merged bank would be well positioned to create long-term value for all stakeholders.

At a board meeting on 13 August 2025, the Board of Directors and the CEO approved the interim financial statements of the Kvika banki hf. for the second quarter and first six months of 2025.
