Comments of the CEO of Coop Pank Arko Kurtmann:

“Coop Pank follows a growth strategy, and in line with this, we continued to grow both our customer base and loan portfolio in 2025. At the heart of all our activities is the customer, and our competitive advantage lies in offering more convenient and faster services. We can only grow if we do something better than our competitors.

The number of Coop Pank customers grew by 19,000 (+9%) in 2025, reaching 227,000 by the end of the year. Increasingly, opening an account is followed by switching to Coop Pank as the customer’s main bank for daily banking services. However, growing the number of so-called home bank clients is also one of our biggest forward-looking challenges. Switching one’s main bank is what drives the growth of demand deposits and enables us to reduce the cost of funding.

The bank’s loan portfolio grew by €340 million (+19%) in 2025. For the first time in Coop Pank’s history, our loan portfolio exceeded €2 billion. The loan portfolio’s quality remained at a low-risk level throughout the year. The business loan portfolio grew the fastest, increasing by €207 million (+27%). This was followed by growth in the home loan portfolio by €125 million (+17%). Growth in consumer loans and leasing was moderate. Overall, both business and private customer demand for loans remained strong throughout the year. This robust loan demand was also one of the signs of economic revitalization for us.

Coop Pank’s net profit amounted to €28.7 million in 2025, decreasing by 11% year-on-year. The decline in net profit compared to the previous year was mainly caused by the lower-interest economic environment, which the 19% growth in business volumes could not offset. While we anticipated net profit decline in 2024 and 2025, our goal is to return to net profit growth in 2026.

Below is an overview of the most important developments at Coop Pank in 2025:

The bank followed its existing dividend policy and fulfilled the promise made to shareholders by distributing 25% of its 2024 pre-tax profit as dividends, amounting to over €7.2 million.

For the first time, the bank issued covered bonds on the Irish stock exchange, totalling €250 million with a four-year maturity. This marked the first tranche of a €750 million covered bond programme.

At the end of the year, the European Investment Bank provided Coop Pank with capital relief, enabling the bank to issue up to €249 million in new loans to businesses.

Additionally, the bank signed a loan agreement at the end of the year with the European Energy Efficiency Fund (EEEF), under which Coop Pank will take an unsecured subordinated loan of €5 million at an interest rate of 6-month Euribor plus 3.25% per annum.

In 2025, the credit rating agency Moody’s affirmed Coop Pank’s deposit rating at Baa2 with a positive outlook. This confirms that the bank continues to be reliable, with strong profitability, solid capitalization, and a high-quality credit portfolio.

The bank implemented several product enhancements to make using a domestic bank even more affordable, flexible, and convenient for customers. For example, the bank introduced a virtual card, a group account solution, and enabled entrepreneurs to accept payments conveniently using an Android smart device. In addition, Coop Pank elevated its cooperation with Coop retail to a new level by introducing a unique purchase reward for joint customers. In 2025, the bank paid out over €270,000 in purchase rewards to its customers.

Alongside the development of e-services, the bank also invested in increasing face-to-face interaction opportunities by opening a branch in the centre of Valga. A larger and more modern branch was also opened in Viljandi. Coop Pank operates a total of 16 branches across 13 cities in Estonia and has the largest cash network in the country.

Among new loan products, the bank launched a small business loan for aspiring entrepreneurs and the Home Defender Home Loan. In addition, the bank lowered the interest rate of its popular Teacher’s Home Loan.

In the second quarter of 2025, Margus Rink stepped down as Chairman of the Management Board, and the Supervisory Board appointed Arko Kurtmann as the new Chairman of the Management Board. Following Kurtmann’s appointment, the Supervisory Board named Lehar Kütt as the new Head of Business Banking and member of the Management Board. As of 1 February 2026, the bank’s Chief Information Officer, Alvar Pihlapuu, also joined the Management Board.

Awards and recognitions received by the bank in 2025:

• The Teacher’s Home Loan received a special prize for inventive communication from the Estonian Public Relations Association (EPRA) and won a Kuldmuna (Golden Egg) in corporate communications from the Estonian Marketing Association (TULI).

In 2025, Coop Pank also continued to support Estonian sports, sponsoring top decathletes, both the men’s and women’s national volleyball teams, as well as the initiative “Volleyball in Every Estonian School.” In addition, the bank provides scholarships, thesis topics, and internship opportunities for TalTech students, helping to nurture future financial and technology experts.

The bank’s strategic goal is to grow its loan portfolio market share in Estonia to 10% by the end of 2030 and to expand annually at a rate two to three times faster than the market average — a target that supports the bank’s ambitious growth strategy. Coop Pank also aims to double its net profit over the next five years and reach at least €60 million in net profit by 2030. This goal supports the bank’s ability to offer shareholders stable and attractive returns. As business volumes grow, the bank aims to operate with high efficiency (cost-to-income ratio below 45%) and deliver an expected return on equity (ROE of at least 15%).

We thank all Coop Pank clients, shareholders, and employees for the year 2025. Our goal is to build a bank that becomes a success story for everyone. A success story for our customers. A success story for our shareholders. A success story for our employees. A success story for society.”
