Board Report
General information
Ayvens Bank N.V.
Ayvens Bank N.V. (the “Bank” or “Ayvens Bank”, until 15 October 2024 named LeasePlan Corporation N.V. is domiciled in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and is registered at the Commercial Register of Amsterdam under number 39037076, where its statutory seat is located. The address of its registered office is Joan Muyskenweg 30, 1114 AN Amsterdam-Duivendrecht. The consolidated financial statements of the Bank as at and for the year ended 31 December 2025 comprise the Bank and the Group’s interest in investments accounted for using the equity method. The Group comprises Ayvens Bank. and its investments in Ayvens Mexico S.A. de C.V. (58.96% interest), Ayvens Brasil Ltda. (1.14% interest) and LeasePlan Arrendamento Mercantil S.A. (95.45% interest); however, the Bank does not have control over any of these entities, which are therefore accounted for using the equity method.
The Bank is a subsidiary of Ayvens S.A. (hereafter referred to as “Ayvens” as legal entity, or as “Ayvens Group” if reference is made to the group of entities headed by Ayvens of which the Bank is an integral part). Ayvens is a subsidiary of Société Générale S.A. (54.8%, “SG”). Other shareholders of Ayvens include the former shareholders of LP Group B.V. (1.2%). The remainder of shares in Ayvens (44.0%) is held by different (minority) shareholders, of which 16.40% is free floating on the Paris stock exchange (AYV.PA). For more (financial) information about the Ayvens Group, reference is made to the Ayvens Universal Registration Document 2025 which is publicly available online via www.ayvens.com/investors.
Changes in the composition of Ayvens Bank’s group during the reporting period (the “Reorganisation”) primarily related to the transfer of control in LeasePlan Arrendamento Mercantil S.A.
During 2024, control of LeasePlan Brazil Ltda. and LeasePlan Mexico, S.A. de C.V. was transferred from the Bank to Ayvens (as defined below). From that date, both entities have been accounted for as investments using the equity method. In February 2025, LeasePlan Mexico merged with ALD Mexico, forming Ayvens Mexico S.A. de C.V., in which the Bank now holds a 58.96% interest. Despite this shareholding and in line with the shareholders agreement, the Bank does not have control.
LeasePlan Brazil Ltda. merged with ALD Brazil in August 2025, resulting in the formation of Ayvens Brasil Ltda. The Bank’s resulting shareholding in the merged entity is approximately 1.14%.
In December 2025, control of LeasePlan Arrendamento Mercantil S.A. was transferred to Ayvens. The Bank sold 4.55% of the total shares, and following an amendment to LeasePlan Arrendamento Mercantil S.A’s bylaws, the Bank transferred control. The remaining 95.45% interest is accounted for as an investment under the equity method.
The Bank holds a banking licence in the Netherlands since 1993 and it operates under the supervision of the European Central Bank (“ECB”). For completion it is noted that the retail deposits are eligible for the Dutch deposit guarantee scheme.
Ownership of the Bank
LP Group B.V. holds 100% of the Bank’s shares. In turn, Ayvens holds 100% of the shares in LP Group B.V.
Recent developments
Declaration of No-Objection and Target Operating Model
Historically, the Bank under its former name LeasePlan Corporation N.V. and as former head of the LeasePlan group focused on fleet management and mobility services (mainly through vehicle leasing). Moreover, in 2010 it launched its online retail savings bank in the Netherlands and in 2015 the cross-border offering of retail saving products in Germany.
6 | Ayvens Bank N.V. consolidated financial statements 2025
The deposits collected in the Netherlands and Germany previously served as an important source of funding for the leasing activities of the LeasePlan group.
As of the moment of closing the acquisition of LP Group B.V. by ALD S.A. (former name of Ayvens) on 22 May 2023, the Managing Board and Supervisory Board of the Bank have closely worked together to obtain the Declaration of No-Objection (“DNO”) from the ECB to allow for a reorganisation as a result of which the Bank transferred all its subsidiaries and treasury activities to Ayvens and subsequently focused on its (retail) banking activities only (the “Reorganisation”).
On 15 March 2024, the ECB granted the DNO required to implement the Reorganisation. This Reorganisation constitutes a financial and corporate reorganisation as referred to in article 3:96 Financial Market Supervision Act. As a result of the new set-up and following finalization of the new target operating model (“TOM”), the risk profile of the Bank has significantly decreased, and its governance was simplified.
The process of the transfer of (the shares of) the subsidiaries successfully started during 2024 and the Bank has completed the reorganisation in 2025 with the transfer of control of LeasePlan Arrendamento Mercantil S.A., the sole remaining leasing entity. After reaching the envisaged TOM, all leasing activities and treasury activities have been transferred to Ayvens, and the Bank solely focuses on attracting retail deposits in the Netherlands and Germany. Subsequently, all collected deposits are on-lent to the Ayvens Treasury Center in Luxembourg, which in turn use the money to fund the operational entities of the Ayvens Group. The deposits are an important source of funding for the Ayvens Group. The bonds which are in the Bank’s balance sheet are the result of the same reorganisation and will be managed by Ayvens Bank N.V. until the maturity.
The Reorganisation has not changed the way Ayvens Bank attracts deposits from retail depositors in the Netherlands and Germany. The deposits continue to have a similar profile as currently reflected on the Bank’s balance sheet and consist of both flexible and fixed-term deposits, with fixed terms ranging from three (3) months to five (5) years. Ayvens Bank is covered by the Dutch Deposit Guarantee Scheme. Customers can rely on the Dutch Deposit Guarantee up to the maximum amount set by the Dutch Central Bank.
The Bank on a daily basis on-lends the deposits received to the Ayvens Treasury Center. The Ayvens Treasury Center then utilises these deposits to fund the leasing activities of the Ayvens Group through the local operational subsidiaries. The funding mechanics provide for the transfer of 100% of the deposits i.e., the aggregate amount of the loan equals 100% of the aggregate amount of the outstanding deposits including any accrued interests. Accordingly, deposit-to-loan alignment is subject to a one working-day lag and may vary in accrued interest as a result of contractual loan mark-ups.
With this set-up the Bank transfers most liquidity risk and all interest rate risk with respect to the retail deposits to the Ayvens Treasury Center. The Bank is exposed to the residual liquidity risk stemming from the settlement of volume changes in the retail deposits with the loan to the Ayvens Treasury Center with a delay of one day (refer to ‘Financial Risks’ below for more information about the transfer of risks).
Also in the new set up, the Bank continues to allocate adequate resources in the areas of Risk & Compliance, Legal and Audit functions. Moreover, it is able to draw from a flexible pool of experts from across the Ayvens Group, if required. In addition, and as a new member to the SG group, the Bank is able to leverage on the extensive expertise and resources within SG.

Net interest income decreased by EUR 168.2 million (–76%), primarily reflecting lower interest income on cash balances with central banks (EUR 83 million) and on loans to related parties (EUR 247 million). These decreases were partly offset by a reduction in interest expense on loans of EUR 195 million, resulting in a net decline in net interest income of EUR 168 million.
Unrealised gains (losses) on financial instruments increased by 223% to EUR 65.4 million mainly following unwinding of derivative instruments after the transfer of treasury activities to the Ayvens treasury center.
Other revenue includes mainly unrealised foreign exchange differences.
Net leasingrelated income comprises income from leasing activities of LeasePlan Arrendamento Mercantil S.A. in 2025 until control was transferred.
Total Revenue for the group amounts to EUR 144.9 million in 2025.

Operating expenses decreased by 33% mainly caused by the transfer of treasury activities to Ayvens group and LeasePlan Brasil Ltda. and LeasePlan Mexico S.A. de C.V. were included for 4 months in 2024.
Other Income includes EUR 1.4 million gain arising from the loss of control over LeasePlan Arrendamento Mercantil S.A., following an amendment to its bylaws, in the context of a 4.55% sale of the total shares.
Result from continuing operations includes the result of the remaining consolidated leasing entity LeasePlan Arrendamento Mercantil S.A. There are no discontinued operations in 2025.

Funding and capital
Funding
The Bank was active across its Retail Deposits levers in 2025 and raised a total amount of EUR 14.1 billion. Due to the acquisition by ALD S.A. in 2023, there were no unsecured funding and Asset Backed Securitisation (ABS) issuances in 2025, which are now in run-off. These issuances still contribute for EUR 2.25 billion to the funding of the Bank.
As a result of the Reorganisation pursuant to which all operating entities in securitisation jurisdictions are no longer subsidiaries of Ayvens Bank, securitisation proceeds are no longer held by Bank but by Ayvens. Existing securitisation transaction proceeds have all been transferred to the Ayvens Treasury Center over the course of 2024.
The undrawn Revolving Credit Facility was transferred to Ayvens Treasury Center in August 2025. Following the transfer of liquidity risk related to retail deposits and legacy LeasePlan bonds to the Ayvens Treasury Center, this facility was no longer required at the Bank’s level.
The Bank’s year-end liquidity buffer was EUR 0.8 billion, fully made of cash.
Capital
The Bank has not included the eligible net result to its Common Equity Tier 1(CET1), the eligible result amounted to EUR 75 million. The CET1 ratio as per 31 December 2025 was 19.0% calculated at the regulatory sub-consolidated level (Ayvens Bank consolidated). At this consolidated level, Tier 1 capital was 27.8% and the Total Capital Ratio was 40.9%. At the end of 2025, the Bank is capitalised well above the minimum capital requirements.
The main impact on capital ratios in 2025 came from:
the change to the CRR 3 rules on 1st of January 2025 for the credit risk and operational risk TREA computation
the interim cash distributions of EUR 2.9 billion to its sole shareholder LP Group B.V.
the increase of the Retail Deposits collection
the transfer to Ayvens. of the guarantees given to its former subsidiaries
the run-off of the bond issuances and,
the corresponding developments on the balance sheet for all these items of the Bank.
Interim cash distribution
On 27 March 2025, the Bank made an interim cash distribution to its sole shareholder LP Group B.V. in the amount of EUR 1.395 billion, followed on 19 June 2025 by another interim cash distribution in the amount of EUR 1.505 billion.
It is recalled that the Bank is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ayvens and as such the outstanding bond issues of the Bank benefit from the ratings of Ayvens.
Ayvens’ ratings are as follows:
Fitch: Dec 2025: BBB+ with a stable outlook (IDR)
S&P: Dec 2025: A- with a stable outlook
Moody’s: Dec 2025: A1 \ Negative

Risk management
Risk Management and Compliance principles
The Bank is committed to ensure that its activities are executed within a defined Risk Management Framework that has been approved by the Bank’s Managing and Supervisory Board.
Monitoring and reporting on key risks is provided to Ayvens Bank Management and Group stakeholders during the quarterly risk and compliance committee (ERC) meetings, thereby enabling controlled risk management and ensuring the Bank's regulatory compliance. In addition, the ERC acts as an information-sharing and decision-making committee. A summary of the risk and compliance committee is also shared quarterly with Ayvens Bank Supervisory Board.
Risk Management Approach
Second line control functions (Risk & Compliance) within Ayvens Bank are responsible for effective risk oversight, which is vital to our functioning as a bank. Controlled and balanced risk taking, accommodated by a strong, independent risk and compliance organisation, are key elements in driving Ayvens Bank’s strategy. Risk Management and Compliance are represented by the Chief Financial and Risk Officer (“CFRO”) at Managing Board level. The CFRO has a functional reporting line to the Ayvens Chief Risk and Compliance Officer. In addition, the Ayvens Head of Risk and the Ayvens Head of Compliance are members of the Entity Risk and Compliance Committee (ERC).
The Ayvens Bank Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) can independently escalate any issues or topics to the CEO or Deputy CEO of the Managing Board and/or to the Head of Compliance of Ayvens. Ayvens Bank has defined a Risk Management Framework to ensure proper identification, assessment and response to (including monitoring and disclosure of) risks to enable the organisation to make informed decisions. This framework addresses the risk governance and the risk management process, through the various components, as described in the risk management cycle, see below.
The finance, marketing and operations teams, together with support functions are considered the first line. First line functions have ownership of the risks they initiate in performing their activities. They are responsible for taking risks, the day-to-day management of the organisation, the effectiveness of the business processes, reliable reporting, implementation and embedding of risk management practices and adherence to Ayvens and Ayvens Bank policies and standards.
11 | Ayvens Bank N.V. consolidated financial statements 2025
The second line is represented by a combined Risk Management function and the Compliance (including Privacy) function, independent of the business, ensuring the robustness and efficiency of the risk and compliance framework and the alignment with applicable SG group, Ayvens Group and regulatory standards. These functions report to the CFRO.
Third line Group Internal Audit (IGAD) is an independent, objective assurance function designed to add value and improve Ayvens Bank’s operations by bringing a systematic and risk-based approach to evaluate the effectiveness of risk management, control, and governance processes. EBA Guidelines on Internal Governance stipulate that the Internal Audit function is responsible for the independent review of the first and second line. It also reports its findings to the Managing Board and provides quarterly updates to the Supervisory Board.
Risk Appetite
Ayvens Bank is committed to ensuring regulatory compliance and maintaining a risk profile within the set Risk Appetite by challenging and assisting the business and promoting risk awareness at all levels within the Bank. The Risk Management function is responsible for defining the Risk Appetite Framework and facilitating the Bank’s Risk Appetite setting process. The Risk Appetite Statement (“RAS”) represents the overall risk that the Bank is willing to take to achieve its strategic objectives, defined by quantitative and/ or qualitative metrics for the key risk categories. The Risk Appetite is set at least annually at Ayvens Bank level and requires approval by the Managing Board and Supervisory Board. The Managing Board, through the ERC, monitors, reviews and challenges the actual performance against the RAS and discusses potential corrective measures on (at least) a quarterly basis.
Risk management structure
The second line Risk Management team oversees risk strategies and defines processes to manage risk, which includes the establishment of an appropriate risk governance, Risk Taxonomy, setting of Risk Appetite, risk measurements and reporting. The Risk Management team is responsible for defining the Risk Management Framework and Risk Appetite Framework for supporting decision-making and capital allocation.
The director of Ayvens Bank reports directly to the CEO. As a first line of defense the director of Ayvens Bank, his deputy director and the functions reporting to him bear primary responsibility for identifying, assessing, managing and monitoring the risks to which they are exposed to in the course of their own day-to-day activities.
Finance is responsible for managing the required liquidity buffer (in business as usual as well as under stress), and for asset and liability management, however the underlying process (Ayvens Bank funding planning) is prepared in consultation with the Ayvens ALM & Treasury teams. In addition, Finance is responsible for first line monitoring of Structural Risk Exposures with support of the Ayvens ALM team. Also, Finance manages sight deposit model monitoring and maintenance, with support of SG.
The Bank has transferred the main treasury related risks (interest rate and liquidity risk) to the Ayvens Treasury Center. The main treasury related activities which continue to take place at the level of Ayvens Bank are the daily payments and settlement process with other banks (as part of the normal deposit and withdrawal process of retail depositors), on-lending the retail deposits (based on legal matching) to the Ayvens Treasury Center and managing the interday liquidity needs. These treasury activities are executed by Ayvens Bank’s finance team.
Within the first line, an Internal Control Officer is implemented to perform first line control activities. The Internal Control Officer carries out Level 1 Controls and reports to the Director of Ayvens Bank.
The First line Capital Management team determines the required amount of risk capital, monitors adequacy of available capital and supports in steering the capital requirements. The Capital Management team acts as the owner of the Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP).
Financial risks
Financial risks consist of Liquidity, Funding Risks, Market Risks in the banking book and Concentration/Credit risk.
12 | Ayvens Bank N.V. consolidated financial statements 2025
Structural risks
The Structural Risks covers the following types of financial risks: (i) liquidity and funding risk, and (ii) market risk in the banking book.
The Liquidity risk refers to the ability of the Bank to fulfil its payment obligations at any moment in time, during normal course of business or under lasting financial stressed conditions. The Funding risk refers to the capacity of the Bank to raise funding resources in a sustainable manner, at a competitive cost compared to peers. Liquidity risk within Ayvens Bank is managed through a combination of daily liquidity management processes, Asset and Liability Matching, a cash buffer held at the Dutch Central Bank and a committed intraday credit facility with Société Générale. The lending to Ayvens Treasury is covered by a guarantee from Ayvens Group. In addition, to further mitigate credit risk towards Ayvens Treasury, the retail deposits are lent to Ayvens Treasury on a collateralized basis.
The Market Risk in the Banking Book is the risk of losses in interest margin or banking book value if interest rates, foreign exchange rates, or credit spreads change. As in Ayvens Risk Taxonomy, this risk is related to the Bank’s non-trading portfolio (e.g. deposits, loans) and includes the distortion of the structural difference between assets and liabilities.
The Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book (“IRRBB”) is the current or prospective risk to both the earnings and the economic value of the Bank arising from adverse movements in interest rates that affect interest rate sensitive instruments.
The Bank has transferred the Structural Risks unrelated to deposit taking to the Ayvens Treasury Center. The main activities related to Structural Risks which continue to take place at Ayvens Bank level are related to continually transferring the Structural Risks related to retail deposits to the Ayvens Treasury Center. These activities include the daily payments and settlement process with other banks (as part of the normal deposits and withdrawal process of retail deposits), lending out the retail deposits (based on legal matching) to the Ayvens Treasury Center and managing the interday liquidity needs. Again, these treasury activities are executed by Ayvens Bank’s finance team. A dedicated credit line, set-up with SG, enables the Bank to have direct interday access to the liquidity needed to cope with deposit outflows under stress.
Committee Governance
Liquidity Risk is monitored throughout the Ayvens Bank ALCO, and the Risk Appetite Indicators are monitored in the Managing Team, ERC, MB and SB meetings. In addition, the liquidity risk of the Bank is also monitored in the Ayvens Funding Committee.
The Ayvens Bank ALCO typically monitors the following items around liquidity risk throughout 2025:
Realised adherence to the liquidity Risk Appetite, regulatory requirements and other liquidity risk indicators set by the Ayvens Bank ALCO.
Expected future adherence to the liquidity risk appetite through the funding planning process.
A holistic view on expected balance sheet developments through a Balance Sheet Forecast that also monitors capital adequacy.
Developments around Retail Deposits.
Informative stress testing scenarios
Contingency Plan and Recovery Plan
The Bank has been integrated into the Ayvens Contingency Funding Plan and is explicitly referenced in the SG Recovery Plan. Consequently, the monitoring of Early Warning Indicators and Recovery Plan Indicators has been centralized at the Ayvens Group level, rather than maintained at the Ayvens Bank level.
13 | Ayvens Bank N.V. consolidated financial statements 2025
Concentration risk/ Credit risk
This risk is relevant given that all retail deposits are on-lent to one counterparty - the Ayvens Treasury Center - which imposes a concentration risk. The single counterparty risk/large exposure will exceed 25% of the Tier 1 capital. In view of the large exposure, it is explicitly noted that the Bank relies on the large exposure exemption.
Ayvens Bank lends on a daily basis the deposits to the Ayvens Treasury Center. The Ayvens Treasury Center utilizes these deposits to fund Ayvens’ leasing activities through the Ayvens’ local operational subsidiaries. The funding mechanics provide for the transfer of 100% of the deposits, i.e. the aggregate amount of the loan will equal 100% of the aggregate amount of the outstanding deposits including any accrued interests. However, this amount is uncommitted.
Intercompany loans granted to the Ayvens Treasury Center include exposures secured through a pledge agreement over a collateral portfolio composed of first-ranking security rights on eligible euro-denominated intragroup loans granted to operating leasing entities within the Ayvens Group. The collateral portfolio includes only eligible intercompany loans that meet predefined criteria, which are subject to ongoing monitoring.
In addition, as part of the mitigation of concentration risk, Ayvens Bank benefits from an unconditional first-demand guarantee provided by Ayvens SA, which covers the liabilities of the Ayvens Treasury Center towards the Bank, including bond-related exposures not secured by collateral.
Non-financial risks
Operational risk
Operational risk within the Bank is part of the Non-Financial Risk (NFR) domain, and it involves the risk of a positive, negative, or potential loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, human behaviour, and systems or external incidents. As defined by Ayvens/SG the operational risks are classified in the following categories:
Errors in pricing or risk evaluation including model risk
Execution errors
Fraud and other criminal activities
Loss of operating environment/capability
IT and Data Failure
Ayvens has defined an Ayvens General Operational Risk Management Policy and an Ayvens Anti-Fraud Policy and a fraud risk management framework, which are implemented by the Bank, to prevent, detect, investigate/handle and remediate/follow-up internal and external fraud. This policy and framework describe a structured approach based on the fraud risk cycle (i.e. fraud risk identification, assessment, mitigation, monitoring and reporting).
Loss of operating environment refers to any event (out of cyber) affecting the business assets and temporarily affecting the Bank’s ability to operate destruction of buildings, loss or disappearance/bankruptcy of a key supplier, destruction of reference and/or transactional data, loss of key teams or individuals (non-exhaustive). The first line is responsible for the implementation of policies and standards, while the second line supports secure implementation, facilitates risk management processes, and challenges first line decisions.
Business Continuity incidents and crises are considered to fall under operational risk. A business continuity incident relates to a disruption of day-to-day operational activities without a severe potential impact on the Bank. In addition, a business continuity crisis relates to a disruption of operational activities with a severe potential impact on the organization of Ayvens as a whole.
14 | Ayvens Bank N.V. consolidated financial statements 2025
In 2025, the SG Cyber Security barometer (NIST) was further deployed within the Bank to enhance the cyber security posture of Ayvens Bank and ensure consistency across Ayvens Group and entire SG group. Furthermore, the Bank was involved in implementing group wide programs (including DORA and NIST).
Fraud risk assessment
External fraud is the risk of fraud attempted or perpetrated against the Bank by an external party (i.e. a party without a direct relationship to the financial institution) without the involvement of an employee or affiliate of the Bank. It includes the risk of fraud committed by a third party/vendor by an agent, broker or intermediary, and by an individual or group of individuals on their own account with no intention of any repayment of the loss caused. Internal fraud is the risk of fraud attempted or perpetrated by an internal party (or parties) against the Bank, i.e. an employee or affiliate of the Bank, including instances where an employee is acting in collusion with external parties. It includes the risk of fraud committed by an internal party against the Bank and the Bank’s customer, or third parties.
Additionally, the Bank has defined and implemented control measures to prevent and detect fraud in general, such as access management, dual control, segregation of duties, background check / employee screening, induction programme, physical controls, and monitoring of credit card expenses and salary payment procedures, among others.
External fraud is monitored as part of the Bank's risk appetite indicators on a recurring basis. The Bank has a zero-tolerance policy towards internal fraud. The Ayvens group prioritizes fostering a culture of risk awareness throughout the organization, ensuring that employees understand the significance of identifying, evaluating, and mitigating operational risks to safeguard the Bank's stability, resilience, reputation, and financial well-being. Ayvens has a Whistleblowing Policy and an whistleblowing tool in place which allows also Bank employees and related externals to report actual or suspicion of misconduct or irregularities within the Bank.
Compliance & Legal risks
Compliance and other disputes with authorities represent the risk of legal, administrative or regulatory sanctions, material financial loss, or loss to reputation a bank may suffer as a result of its failure to comply with national or European laws, regulations, rules, related self-regulatory organisation standards, and codes of conduct applicable to its banking activities. The scope of the Compliance risk, in line with the EBA guidelines, includes 1. Sanctions & Embargoes, 2. Anti-Money Laundering - Combatting Terrorism Financing, 3. Know your customer, 4. Anti-Bribery, Corruption & Ethics, 5. Client Tax Transparency, 6. Sustainability risks 7. Client protection, 8. Market Integrity, 9. Data protection and 10 prudential regulations.
Ayvens Bank, as part of the Ayvens Group, operates in a complex regulatory environment. Only by conducting our business based on high ethical standards and in compliance with applicable laws, directives and regulations can we win and retain trust and succeed in our mission.
With the purpose to support Ayvens Bank in its compliance with the supervisory and regulatory requirements, there is a Regulatory Affairs function established to facilitate the Bank in standardisation and reinforcement of controls within its regulatory, supervisory and normative documentation commitments. The Regulatory Affairs Function has three functional areas:
Supervisory Office, serving as the central and single point of contact for external interactions, i.e. with the Joint Supervisory Team (JST);
Regulatory Watchtower, identifying and supporting implementation of new/changed applicable regulations; and
Policy Office, supporting the overall normative documentation process.
15 | Ayvens Bank N.V. consolidated financial statements 2025
To provide for coordinated alignment and consistency, the Regulatory Affairs Function has established close cooperation between departments at Ayvens, Ayvens Bank and SG group.
Compliance structure and setup
Governance
The Compliance function is represented in the Managing Board by the CFRO. The CCO reports to the CFRO and has direct access to the ERC. The CCO is supported by the Ayvens Compliance Department. There is also a Local Compliance officer at Company level, reporting to the CCO, who oversees day-to-day compliance management activities and ensures compliance with regulatory requirements and internal policies. The Ayvens Bank Compliance Function is independent of the business and ensures the robustness and efficiency of the compliance framework and the alignment with applicable SG group, Ayvens Group and regulatory standards.
Risk and compliance highlights 2025
The business model of Ayvens Bank is mainly based on its retail deposit banking activities; however, as at the end of 2025 it also retains some shareholdings. These shareholdings are mostly a financial investment, of which Ayvens conducts oversight from a risk and governance perspective.
Ayvens Bank deposit collection is passed-through a transfer of deposit liquidity and attached liquidity risks to the Ayvens Treasury Center.
Ayvens Bank –fully extinguished the derivative portfolio during Q1 2025, removing from that moment any risk linked to OTC derivative contracts.
Rollout of key risk framework modules such as Risk and Control Self Assessments (RCSA), control testing and monitoring, issue management, and incident management throughout the organisation.
Ayvens Bank has deployed different internal controls system and methodologies from Ayvens/ Société Générale such as the new internal control system MyControls and related methodology.
The Risk Management & Compliance functions have maintained and monitored the Risk Management Framework and Risk Appetite Statement for Ayvens Bank.
For further overview of our Risk Management Framework, including details on key risks inherent to our business activities, please refer to the Risk Management section of the financial statements.
Risk uncertainties
Based on the main risk areas, we have summarised material risks and uncertainties that are relevant to the expectations of the Bank’s business continuity for the period of 12 months after the publication of this report.
The Bank is exposed to the Ayvens Treasury Center, part of Ayvens Group and SG Group and as such is depending on the strategic treasury decisions from Ayvens and SG. Any change in the current structure may be a potential risk for the current setup of the Bank; and
The Bank operates in a highly regulated environment. As such, compliance risks are considered as material (in connection with SIRA exercise), non-compliance in one risk domain can lead to breach of regulation, and to administrative or financial sanctions.
The Bank is exposed to third-party risk in relation to its banking platform, websites, and mobile application. As these systems are critical to the Bank’s operations, the Bank closely monitors the associated suppliers.
Cybersecurity risk is also identified as critical risk, mitigated through a robust IT risk monitoring framework

Sustainability strategy
PowerUp 2026
The Bank’s parent company Ayvens announced its “PowerUp 2026” strategic plan on 18 September 2023 following the closing of the acquisition of the former LeasePlan group by ALD S.A. Ayvens will leverage on the power of leadership to shape the future of mobility and achieve excellence, by executing a strategic plan articulated around 4 priorities:
Clients
Operational efficiency
Responsibility
Profitability
For further details on PowerUp 2026 as well as the Sustainability strategy, we refer to the Ayvens Annual report 2025 (Universal Registration Document 2025). Chapter 5 of the Universal Registration Document is dedicated to the Sustainability Statement according to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), and provides a full report of strategic pillars, action plans and related metrics for Ayvens. The Ayvens CSRD disclosure consolidates Ayvens Bank. This also includes the consolidated EU Taxonomy disclosures of the Ayvens group, including Ayvens Bank.
Double Materiality Assessment
As part of the CSRD, Ayvens conducted a thorough assessment of the Impacts, Risks and Opportunities (IROs) across all dimensions of Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG), arising from its business model. Ayvens Bank is a component of Ayvens’ value chain, and was therefore duly integrated in this exercise, primarily through the integration of governance risks.
Climate & Environment Risk Management framework
The sustainability strategy has been strengthened over the past years to better understand and mitigate the Ayvens Group’s climate -related and environmental risks. Climate-related and environmental risks (C&E risks) are considered as an integral part of the domains where they may materialise. Within the framework of Sociéte Générale, Ayvens integrates the supervisory requirements on climate-related and environmental risks in its internal control framework and continues, as in previous years, to disclose on its practices in the C&E Risk Disclosures. Reference is made to Chapter 4 of the Ayvens Universal Registration Document for the Risk Management framework and Chapter 5 for the consolidated EU Taxonomy disclosures.
Values and ethics
Responsible Business Practices are a key pillar of the Sustainability strategy. The Bank recognises that the trust and confidence of our stakeholders is crucial to our success. Only by conducting our business according to our ethical standards can we win and retain that trust and succeed in our mission.
Our employees apply high standards in their personal conduct and in their day-to-day business decisions. Our values and ethics are defined in the Code of Conduct (https://www.ayvens.com/en-cp/conduct-and-ethical-principals/), which also explains the way in which we deal with each other, customers, suppliers, society at large, government authorities, regulators, investors and business partners. We work to ensure our values and ethics are embedded in our behaviour, processes and actions.
17 | Ayvens Bank N.V. consolidated financial statements 2025
Human rights
The Bank recognises that human rights are fundamental and universal. We respect human rights, in the workplace and in our supply chain, as described in the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the principles of the International Labour Organization. We avoid being complicit in human rights abuses of any kind, and condemn the use of forced labour, compulsory labour and child labour. Respect for human rights is also a key feature of both the Ayvens Code of Conduct and the Supplier commitments within the Sustainable Procurement Charter (https://www.ayvens.com/en-cp/sustainability/our-esg-commitments/). Respect for human rights is embedded in our Code of Conduct which all employees are required to review and confirm annually. Furthermore, a whistleblower mechanism is in place for all employees and trusted persons are available in every entity.
For further details, please consult the Ayvens CSRD reporting embedded in the Ayvens Universal Registration Document 2025.

Remuneration report
The Bank functions as a stand-alone bank within the Ayvens group focused on raising retail deposits and on-lending these to Ayvens to fund the operating entities.
This section presents the Bank’s remuneration governance, framework, and practices. Even more, it reflects the group remuneration policy implemented during the course of 2024, i.e. the Ayvens Group Total Rewards Policy (as amended from time to time) which is applicable to the Bank and adapted where necessary to meet the specific Dutch regulations.
Ayvens’ Group Total Rewards Policy
Ayvens ensures that its remuneration policies and practices (including its pension provision) are consistent with and promote sound and effective risk management, including compliance risk management, and in line with its business strategy, objectives, values, and long-term interests. The Ayvens’ Group Total Rewards Policy (the “Group Total Rewards Policy”) is reviewed by the Ayvens Group Remuneration Committee and approved by the Board of Directors of Ayvens on an annual basis.
The Group Total Rewards Policy applies globally to all entities within the Ayvens Group, including entities over which Ayvens effectively has control, therefore including the staff members and Managing Board of the Bank. Moreover, the policy includes: remuneration principles and their governance applicable to all staff, and specific details about the remuneration structure of the Identified Staff (i.e. staff considered to have a material impact on the risk profile of Ayvens Group or Ayvens Bank specifically). The policy is adapted where required to meet local regulatory or legal requirements in each jurisdiction in which it operates.
The Group Total Rewards Policy is designed to provide appropriate, restrained and sustainable remuneration for all employees in support of Ayvens’ long-term strategy, Risk Appetite, objectives and values. The policy takes into account Ayvens’ strategy and long-term interests with due observance of the international context in which Ayvens operates, together with public acceptance.
General principles
Remuneration requirements
The Group Total Rewards Policy and its local implementation by all entities belonging to the Ayvens Group must respect the following principles:
Fair and transparent: it is based on the principle of equal pay for equal work or work of equal value, especially between male and female staff. The criteria for determining remuneration levels are clear and transparent;
Competitive: remuneration takes into account local market practices (i.e. based on regular external benchmarking) and is set at a level to attract and retain qualified employees;
Performance Driven: it takes into account individual and collective performance. Remuneration decisions take into account the results of the annual performance appraisal process;
Stakeholder alignment: it is aligned with the Group’s corporate strategy and objectives, including the ESG policy and with the interests of its customers, employees and its shareholders;
Governance: it is subject to a robust governance, including measures to avoid conflicts of interest;
Regulatory compliance: it respects all applicable remuneration regulations and local legislation and promotes sound and effective risk management, including compliance risk management; and
Sustainable: remuneration costs are piloted through the budget process; variable remuneration pools are fully flexible, meaning they can be adjusted based on the financial situation of the Ayvens Group and/or local entity.
19 | Ayvens Bank N.V. consolidated financial statements 2025
The following remuneration requirements apply to all staff:
Fixed and variable remuneration will, in general, be set taking into account market practice in the relevant market, via regular external benchmarking;
Fixed remuneration for an individual employee will take into account skills, experience and individual performance and will be reviewed regularly, typically on an annual basis;
Variable remuneration plans for all employees will be objective, measurable and linked to individual, company/entity and Ayvens Group performance, as appropriate. Incentive plans will support both short and long-term objectives of Ayvens, as appropriate;
Pension schemes are recognised in accordance with the applicable accounting standards. The Bank does not award discretionary pension benefits as part of the variable remuneration;
Other benefits for staff are provided in line with market practice; and
Severance payments do not provide for disproportionate reward, but for an appropriate compensation for the staff member in cases of early termination of the contract.
Specific to the Bank’s staff, variable remuneration cannot exceed 20% of fixed remuneration pursuant to limitations stemming from the Bank’s qualification as Dutch regulated financial institution and the applicability of the Dutch bonus cap to the Bank and the staff working under its responsibility.
Remuneration of Identified Staff
Annually a review is conducted to ensure the correct jobs are flagged as Identified Staff. This review is done on the basis of the requirements under article 94(2) of CRD as amended by Directive (EU) 2019/878.
In addition to the remuneration requirements applicable to all staff, for Identified Staff the following key elements of the variable remuneration apply:
Performance indicators used for determining variable remuneration (both the financial and non-financial) have an ‘on target’ and ‘maximum’ score. In case of underperformance the variable remuneration is set at nil;
The relationship between fixed and variable remuneration will be carefully considered, with a sufficiently high fixed component to avoid excessive risk taking in order to achieve the variable remuneration elements;
Variable remuneration for Identified Staff consists of cash (at most 50%) and non-cash instruments (at least 50%). The non-cash element of variable remuneration consists of Phantom Share Units (PSUs) or Shares. The value of the PSU is linked to the share value of Ayvens;
A minimum 40% deferral is applied to the total annual variable remuneration (both cash and PSUs), with a progressive deferral percentage depending on the level of variable remuneration. The maximum deferral percentage is capped at 70%. The total variable remuneration will be deferred for a period of at least four years whereby annual vesting is applied. The four-year vesting period is in accordance with the business cycle, the nature of activities and the associated risks;
After vesting, an additional holding period of one year applies to all vested PSUs or Shares, after which the PSUs are paid out in cash or the Shares become available for sale;
For Identified Staff, the Senior Management Variable Remuneration Plan is proposed by the Ayvens Executive Committee and approved by the Board of Directors in line with the Group Total Rewards Policy; and
Claw back and malus provisions are applicable to all variable remuneration awarded.
20 | Ayvens Bank N.V. consolidated financial statements 2025
Risk adjustment
The variable remuneration of Identified Staff is subject to a possible downward adjustment, which is risk-related. Herewith Ayvens ensures that variable remuneration is fully aligned with the risks undertaken. This is implemented through the ex-ante risk adjustment process and the ex-post risk adjustment process. The ex-ante risk adjustment takes place directly after the performance year, and ex-post risk adjustment takes place before the deferred payments are released to the Identified Staff in future years or earlier in case of a triggering event.
The Risk and Compliance Departments independently assess, on an annual basis, the risk management and compliance by each of the Group entities and by Identified Staff. The assessments, thus carried out at macro and individual level, and the quantitative and qualitative indicators used by Risk and Compliance are shared with the management of the Group Companies and of the Identified Staff concerned. In the event of a negative Risk and Compliance assessment, the conclusions will be taken into account for possible downward adjustment of variable remuneration (Ex Ante risk adjustment) and will be shared with the Ayvens Board of Directors in order to be taken into account in their deliberations concerning any potential application of malus or claw back (Ex Post risk adjustment).
In the case of a staff member who is an Identified Staff member at the level of the Bank but not at the level of the Group, decisions concerning Ex Ante and Ex Post risk adjustment are the responsibility of the Supervisory Board of Ayvens Bank.
Remuneration governance
The remuneration governance within the Ayvens Group (including the Bank) is as follows:
Corporate governance
The remuneration report sets out Ayvens’ remuneration policy, as laid down in the Group Total Rewards Policy, which is in accordance with the CRD V remuneration requirements (EU Capital Requirements Directive 2019/878/EU of 20 May 2019, amending Directive 2013/36/EU) and the associated EBA Guidelines on sound remuneration policies.
The following corporate bodies and functions within Ayvens Group are involved in remuneration governance: the Executive Committee, the Board of Directors, the Remuneration Committee, Human Resources, and the control functions Risk Management, Compliance and Audit (jointly referred to as the Control Functions).
The implementation and any potential adaptation of the Group Total Rewards policy for the Identified Staff and Managing Board of the Bank is reviewed by the Managing Board and validated by the Supervisory Board taking into account all relevant Dutch legal requirements and guidelines, including the Banking Code, the Regulation on Sound Remuneration Policies pursuant to the Financial Supervision Act 2014, the Dutch Act on Remuneration Policies for Financial Enterprises (WBFO) and Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code.
The Managing Board
The main responsibilities of the Managing Board are the following:
Adopting the Group Total Rewards Policy and adapting it where necessary to meet the requirements of the Dutch regulations;
Determining the criteria on the basis of which the Identified Staff are selected;
Proposing the Identified Staff group;
Determining fixed and variable remuneration levels/payments including the application of ex-ante and ex-post risk measures for Identified Staff (excluding those of Managing Board members and Heads of Control Functions); and
Setting the performance objectives (as applicable) for Identified Staff (excluding those of Managing Board members).
21 | Ayvens Bank N.V. consolidated financial statements 2025
The Supervisory Board
The main responsibilities of the Supervisory Board are the following:
Consider and approve decisions with regard to the remuneration framework in the Bank, which includes provisions on retention-, exit- and welcome packages and the design and operation of the remuneration framework, policies and practices;
Consider and approve decisions with regard to the remuneration of Identified Staff, including the senior staff responsible for heading the Control Functions risk management, compliance and audit;
In the case of Identified Staff members with dual responsibilities at both the level of the Group and of the Bank, review the remuneration decisions made by the Group governance bodies concerning any Identified Staff member of the Bank, including the Managing Board members;

Approving the financial and non-financial performance indicators and targets for Identified Staff.
Control Functions
In line with remuneration regulations, the Ayvens Control Functions Risk, Compliance and Audit review and monitor the execution of the Group Total Rewards Policy together with the Ayvens HR department.
In addition to the principles set out above, the following additional principles apply to the remuneration of Control Functions:
Remuneration of control functions should be predominantly Fixed Remuneration; and
The Variable Remuneration of Control Functions should be determined predominantly based on performance against specific Control Function objectives and not on the financial results of the activities they oversee.
22 | Ayvens Bank N.V. consolidated financial statements 2025
Governance
We believe that a robust infrastructure supported by the right culture, values and behaviours, both at the top and throughout the entire organisation, is an imperative. A well-defined and well-structured corporate governance structure ensures good long-term relationships within the organisation, with internal and external stakeholders and with society at large.
Supervision
In addition to an effective and proportionate corporate governance infrastructure, the Bank is subject to supervision by competent supervisory authorities with whom it is constantly engaged in discussions and assessments. In the Netherlands, the Bank is supervised by, among others, the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM). In addition, due to its qualification as significant supervised entity as part of the significant supervised group headed by Société Générale, the Bank is also supervised by the ECB.
Applicable laws and codes
Historically, Ayvens Bank applied the provisions of the full large company regime (volledig structuurregime) since 21 March 2016. However, as a result of the Reorganisation the Bank no longer meets all consecutive requirements and has applied for an exemption with the Dutch Ministry of Justice and Security. Following granting of the exemption, and in view of simplification of governance, the Bank has terminated application of the large company regime since 30 April 2024.
Ayvens Bank is subject to certain EU legislation including, among others, the Capital Requirements Directive (CRD) and the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR), which has an impact on the regulation of our businesses in the European Union, and the regulations and supervision by local supervisory authorities of the various countries in which we do business.
Moreover, as the Bank holds a banking licence it is obliged to comply with banking regulations such as the CRD, the CRR and the Banking Code. This covers areas such as governance, remuneration, audit and risk management. On an annual basis, we are obliged to disclose information on how the Bank has complied with the Banking Code in practice. For completion it is noted that Avens Bank falls under the Dutch Deposit Guarantee Scheme. Customers can rely on the Dutch Deposit Guarantee up to the maximum amount set by the Dutch Central Bank.
Governance structure
Ayvens Bank is governed by a two-tier board comprising a Supervisory Board and a Managing Board. The Supervisory Board and the Managing Board perform their duties and powers as laid down in the relevant laws, rules, regulations and the Bank’s Articles of Association.
Supervisory Board
The Supervisory Board is responsible for supervising the Managing Board and the general course of affairs of Ayvens Bank and its business.
In 2025, the Supervisory Board was composed of Philippe de Rovira (Chair with effect of 1 December 2025), Tim Albertsen (Chair, resigned with effect as of 30 November 2025), Hélène Crinquant (Vice-Chair), Paul Scholten (independent member), and Bernadette Langius (independent member).
The Bank believes that the Supervisory Board has sufficient diversity in the background, knowledge and expertise of the individual members to warrant proper supervision of the overall management of Ayvens Bank and its business.
Managing Board
The Managing Board is entrusted with the overall management of the Bank and its business. The Managing Board’s responsibility is, inter alia, setting the overall strategy to ensure the Bank creates value over the short, medium and long term, and that this is supported by the overall business approach and policies of Ayvens Bank.
23 | Ayvens Bank N.V. consolidated financial statements 2025
The Managing Board is well-aware of the need to ensure its actions are consistent with Ayvens Bank’s culture, ethics and values, and of the positive effects this has for the rest of the organisation. Moreover, the Managing Board is responsible for maintaining proper accounting records, for safeguarding assets and for taking reasonable steps to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.
The Managing Board is responsible for adhering to suitable accounting policies and applying them on a consistent basis and making judgements and estimates that are prudent and responsible. It is also responsible for establishing and maintaining internal procedures to ensure it is informed of all major information, to ensure the timeliness, completeness and accuracy of external financial reporting. This means the Managing Board is responsible for the system of internal control that is designed to safeguard controlled and sound business operations and ensure the quality of internal and external reporting, and compliance with applicable laws, regulations and codes of conduct.
In devising internal controls, Ayvens Bank has taken into account the nature and extent of the risks that may affect the soundness of the entire enterprise, the likelihood of risks occurring and the cost of control.
The Managing Board consists of the following members:
Chief Executive Officer: Laurent Saucié
Deputy Chief Executive Officer: Liza Hoesbergen
Chief Financial and Risk Officer: Christophe Cirier
The Managing Board members are employed by the Ayvens Group and are allocated for part of their time to Ayvens Bank. For the remainder of their time, they take up senior leadership positions within the Ayvens Group.
The Bank operates a lifelong learning programme for the members of the Managing Board and Supervisory Board. The various training sessions are conducted by both internal and external experts, depending on the specific training concerned. In this respect, the Bank also leverages on the extensive expertise and trainings that is/are available within the SG group.
Diversity
The Bank is committed to attracting and retaining the finest talent as this ensures top business performance and delivers a competitive advantage. We recruit from a wide range of backgrounds, including cultural, national, racial, social and professional backgrounds as this allows us to meet the needs of our customers, while providing us with valuable knowledge for understanding complex markets.
At 31 December 2025, 50% of the Supervisory Board and 33% of the Managing Board was female. The Bank will continue to strive for an equal division of gender, among others, by considering and taking into account this aim when appointing or nominating individuals for appointment to the Managing Board and Supervisory Board respectively.
24 | Ayvens Bank N.V. consolidated financial statements 2025
Statement of the Managing Board

General information
Ayvens Bank N.V.
Ayvens Bank N.V. (the “Company” or Ayvens Bank) (formerly known as LeasePlan Corporation N.V.) is domiciled in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and is registered at the Commercial Register of Amsterdam under number 39037076, where its statutory seat is located. The address of its registered office is Joan Muyskenweg 30, 1114 AN Amsterdam, Netherlands. The Company is part of Ayvens S.A. (referred to as “Ayvens” for company only and as “Ayvens Group” for the complete group) and the SG banking group. The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 31 December 2025 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries and the Companies’ interest in investments accounted for using the equity method (the “Group”).
The Company attracts retail deposits in the Netherlands and Germany, and these deposits are an important source of funding for the leasing activities of Ayvens. The deposits are expected to cover 25-30% of the total funding. Ayvens Bank provides a dynamically managed loan to the Ayvens Treasury Center in Luxembourg (AXUS). Dynamically managed refers to the fact that the loan is adjusted on a day-to-day basis to continuously adapt to the funding profile of the deposits raised.
All products offered by Ayvens Bank are insured under the Dutch deposit guarantee scheme until EUR 100.000 per accountholder. In geographical terms, Ayvens Bank is active within the Netherlands since 2010 and expanded its activities into Germany in 2015.
In addition to the retail deposits, a limited number of senior unsecured bonds (both public and private placements) in run-off are on the liability side of the balance sheet of Ayvens Bank. It is expected that the last of these bonds will reach maturity date on 6 May 2030. Ayvens Bank will not issue new bonds on the financial markets as Ayvens will be the sole bond issuer for the Group.
The Company holds a banking licence in the Netherlands since 1993 and it operates under the supervision of the European Central Bank (“ECB”) and Dutch Central bank (“DNB”).
In 2024 all subsidiaries have been transferred to Ayvens except for LeasePlan Arrendamento Mercantil SA (which was pending approval of the Central Bank of Brasil). In addition, during 2024, control of LeasePlan Brazil Ltda. and LeasePlan Mexico, S.A. de C.V. was transferred to Ayvens. From that date, both entities have been accounted for as investments using the equity method. In February 2025, LeasePlan Mexico merged with ALD Mexico, forming Ayvens Mexico S.A. de C.V., in which the Bank now holds an approximate 58.96% interest. Despite this shareholding, Ayvens Bank does not have control.
LeasePlan Brazil Ltda. merged with ALD Brazil in August 2025, resulting in the formation of Ayvens Brasil Ltda. The Bank’s resulting shareholding in the merged entity is approximately 1.14%.
In December 2025, control of LeasePlan Arrendamento Mercantil S.A. was transferred to Ayvens. Ayvens Bank sold 4.55% of the total shares, and following an amendment to the company’s bylaws, the Bank lost control. The remaining 95.45% interest is accounted for as an investment under the equity method.

These financial statements cover the year 2025, which ended at the balance sheet date of 31 December 2025.

Going concern
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the basis of the going concern assumption.
Ayvens Bank is supervised by the European Central Bank, and has profitable operations, with EUR 124 million in net results in 2025 and gross profit of EUR 145 million. The core activity of the Company relates to collecting retail deposits in the Dutch and German savings market. These funds are directly transferred to the Ayvens Treasury Center. The activities of the retail savings bank are a key pillar of the Ayvens funding strategy.
The Company has no liquidity concerns, with a cash and cash equivalents balance of EUR 1.4 billion at 31 December 2025 (EUR 4.3 billion in 2024).
There are no significant doubts about its ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the Management Board didn’t identify any risk or potential situation of a temporary shut-down or curtailment of the Company’s activities or possible restrictions on activities that might be imposed by governments or regulators in the future.
All cash and balances at (central) banks are available at call except for the mandatory reserve deposits at the Dutch Central Bank in the amount of EUR 129 million (2024: EUR 122 million). A monetary policy instrument of the ECB is the minimum reserve requirement, whereby credit institutions in the euro area are obliged to maintain a specified average amount of cash reserves the so-called minimum reserves with their respective national banks for successive periods of four to five weeks. The cash reserve requirements serve to create a liquidity shortage in the euro area, so that banks depend on the ECB’s liquidity-providing mechanism for their liquidity needs.
The Group reports its capital metrics and risk exposures in accordance with Capital Requirements Regulation (Regulation No 575/2013) and compares the Group’s eligible regulatory capital with its risk-weighted assets for credit risk, operational risk and market risk. Furthermore, banking institutions are required to assess the adequacy of available capital in view of the risks to which they are exposed. The periodic process in achieving this objective is referred to as ICAAP.
Based on the latest ICAAP, the Group concludes that it is sufficiently capitalised and resilient to future plausible stress situations. This conclusion is based on the Group’s capital assessment methodologies.

In 2025, the transfer and mergers of former LeasePlan entities with ALD entities were completed as part of the integration of former LeasePlan into the Ayvens group. Effective February 2025, LeasePlan Mexico merged with ALD Mexico to form Ayvens Mexico S.A. de C.V., resulting in the Bank holding approximately 58.96% of the share capital, without having control. Similarly, effective August 2025, LeasePlan Brazil merged with ALD Brazil to form Ayvens Brasil Ltda., with the Bank’s resulting shareholding of approximately 1.14%.

From January 1, 2022 onwards, the Group has been applying the provisions of the IAS 29 standard (“Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies”) to the Group’s Turkish subsidiary. The financial statements include restatements for changes in the general purchasing power of the Turkish lira to the measuring unit current at the reporting date.
Until the sale of LeasePlan Turkey on August 6, 2024, adjustments are made to the non-monetary assets and liabilities (with biggest impacts in Rental fleet, and the Group Consolidated Reserves pertaining to the subsidiary in Turkey). The carrying amounts of Rental fleet are adjusted to reflect the change in the consumer price index (CPI). The Turkish consumer price index has been used to calculate the adjustments relating to the inflation.
LeasePlan Turkey has applied the consumer price index (CPI), as published by the Turkish Statistical Institute (TURKSTAT), as the measuring unit current. The development of the CPI in the previous reporting periods is as follows:
12/202307/2024
Conversion coefficient1,859.402,394.10
CPI Index (7-months)64.7761.78
The financial statements of the Turkish subsidiary are based on historical cost. Non-monetary assets and liabilities of the Turkish subsidiary have been restated for the change in CPI from the date of their acquisition or initial recognition to the end of the reporting period.

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The material estimates, assumptions and underlying data that management makes relate to the assessment of the income tax position and other provisions. Information on the above-mentioned areas of estimation and judgement is provided in Note 4 section T - Critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgements.
35 | Ayvens Bank N.V. consolidated financial statements 2025
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed each financial reporting period. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period of the revision, or in any future periods affected if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Disclosure of significant judgements and major sources of estimation uncertainty and related sensitivities is included in the specific notes to the statement of financial position.

The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) publishes accounting standards, amendments and interpretations, some of which have not been adopted by the European Union as at December 31, 2025. They are required to be applied from annual periods beginning on 1 January 2026 at the earliest or on the date of their adoption by the European Union. They were therefore not applied by the Group as at December 31, 2025. These amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

In April 2024, the IASB issued a new Standard, IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial statements, which replaces IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. The new Standard carries forward many requirements from IAS 1 unchanged. IFRS 18 is the culmination of the IASB’s Primary Financial Statements project and introduces three sets of new requirements to improve companies’ reporting of financial performance and give investors a better basis for analysing and comparing companies:
Improved comparability in the statement of profit or loss (income statement)
Enhanced transparency of management-defined performance measures
More useful grouping of information in the financial statements
IFRS 18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, with earlier application permitted. The Group is currently assessing the impact on its consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 19, “Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures”
36 | Ayvens Bank N.V. consolidated financial statements 2025
In May 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures. The new standard permits eligible subsidiaries that are applying full IFRS Accounting Standards to provide reduced disclosures, while still applying the recognition and measurement requirements of IFRS.
The objective is to ease the reporting burden for subsidiaries that do not have public accountability but whose parent prepares consolidated financial statements under IFRS. IFRS 19 includes a standalone set of disclosure requirements, developed based on IFRS for SMEs disclosures, tailored to work with full IFRS recognition and measurement. The Group is holding a banking license and engaged in fleet management with public accountability as defined by IFRS and consequently, is not eligible to apply IFRS 19.
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7, “Contracts referencing nature-dependent electricity”
On 18 December 2024, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued targeted amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 to clarify the accounting treatment of contracts that reference electricity prices linked to nature-dependent factors (such as wind or solar conditions). These contracts, which are common in renewable energy purchase agreements (PPAs), raised questions about whether the resulting variability in cash flow is consistent with a basic lending arrangement and therefore eligible to meet the sole payments of principal and interest (SPPI) test under IFRS 9. The amendments also introduce new disclosure requirements under IFRS 7. Entities will need to provide enhanced information about the classification judgments applied to contracts referencing nature-dependent electricity and the risks these contracts introduce. The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026.
The Group does not typically enter into financial contracts directly referencing nature-dependent electricity. Therefore, the amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7, “Classification and measurement of financial instruments”
The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has issued “Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7)”.
The amendments to IFRS 9 include guidance on the classification of financial assets, including those with contingent features which can be ESGlinked features or other types of contingent features. As a result of amendments to IFRS 7 companies will be required to provide additional disclosures on financial assets and financial liabilities that have certain contingent features. The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026. These amendments are not expected to have an impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements since there are currently no financial assets with ESGlinked features or other contingent features. As this might change in the future the Group will monitor new financial assets for such features.
Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards – Volume 11
On 18 July 2024, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards Volume 11, comprising a collection of narrow-scope amendments intended to clarify wording, correct minor inconsistencies and remove obsolete references in several IFRS Accounting Standards. The amendments affect IFRS 1, IFRS 7, IFRS 9, IFRS 10 and IAS 7 and are part of the IASB’s regular annual improvements process. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026, with early application permitted.
With respect to financial instruments, the amendments include limited clarifications to disclosure requirements related to the gain or loss on derecognition under IFRS 7 and the application of derecognition requirements to lease liabilities under IFRS 9. These changes are primarily clarificatory in nature and do not introduce new recognition or measurement principles. Based on the nature of the amendments, Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards Volume 11 are not expected to have a material impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements. The Group will nevertheless apply the amendments from their effective date in accordance with IFRS requirements.

Ayvens Bank holds an EUR 17.3 billion intercompany loan receivable to the Axus Luxembourg S.A. (Ayvens Treasury Centre), recorded under “Loans to related parties”.
37 | Ayvens Bank N.V. consolidated financial statements 2025
The intercompany loan to Axus Luxembourg S.A. comprises both collateralised deposit-linked exposures and non-collateralised bond-related exposures. Deposit exposures are secured through pledged intragroup receivables, while bond-related exposures are unsecured. All exposures are fully covered by an unconditional first demand guarantee from Ayvens.
An IFRS 9 impairment analysis incorporating forward-looking macroeconomic scenarios concluded that the expected credit loss is immaterial, and no allowance has been recognized.

During 2025, Ayvens Bank aligned the accounting treatment of repair and maintenance revenue recognition in with the Group’s policy under IFRS 15. Previously, the local entity applied a buffer revenue approach.
The Group policy requires the use of the reverse Rule of 78 method, which allocates revenue based on the expected cost pattern over the lease term rather than on a straight-line basis. This change ensures consistency across all entities following the ALD–LeasePlan harmonization project.
The change was treated as a prospective adjustment in accordance with IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors.
The adjustment had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements. No restatement of prior-year comparatives was required.
38 | Ayvens Bank N.V. consolidated financial statements 2025
Summary of material accounting policies
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently by the Group to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise stated.
Note A - Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the company and its subsidiaries.

Subsidiaries are all companies (including special purpose companies) over which the Group has control. The Group controls a company when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the company and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the company. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases.
The Group applies the acquisition method of accounting to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is measured at the aggregate of the fair values at acquisition date of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the entity acquired and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the entity acquired either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the entity’s net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. If the business combination is achieved in stages, the carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date; any gains or losses arising from such remeasurement are recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
Goodwill is initially measured as the excess of (a) over (b) below:
a)the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the fair value of non-controlling interest;
b)the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
Business acquisitions under common control are accounted for by recording for the existing book values in the controlling company of the acquired company and recording any difference between the consideration paid and the equity acquired directly in retained earnings in equity.
Inter-company transactions, balances, income and expenses on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Accounting policies of acquired subsidiaries were changed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, and any non-controlling interests and other components of equity. Any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. Any interest retained in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value when control is lost. When significant influence is retained the loss of control is accounted for using the equity method in which the investment is recognised at cost and subsequently adjusted to reflect the entity's share of the associate's profits or losses, other comprehensive income, and changes in equity.

Associates are those companies over which the Group has significant influence but no control, generally accompanying a shareholding between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are reported in “Investments accounted for using the equity method”. Under the equity
39 | Ayvens Bank N.V. consolidated financial statements 2025
method, the investment is initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses and movements in other comprehensive income.
If the ownership interest in an associate is reduced but significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate.
The Group’s share of post-acquisition profit or loss is recognised in the statement of profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associate. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.
For the impairment of non-financial assets, reference is made to Note M – Impairment of tangible assets.

Special purpose companies are companies created to accomplish a narrow and well-defined objective, such as the securitisation of leased assets. The financial statements of special purpose companies are included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements where the substance of the relationship is that the Group retains control and continues to be exposed to risks and rewards from the securitised leased assets. The Group uses various legal entities, which have been incorporated specifically for the Group’s securitisation transactions. These companies are consolidated in the financial statements of the Group based on the substance of the relationship. These special purpose companies relate exclusively to the 2024 comparative period.
Note B – Fair value measurement
A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and financial and non-financial liabilities.
The Group has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. This includes a valuation team that has overall responsibility for overseeing all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values, and reports directly to the CFRO.
The valuation team regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then the valuation team assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that these valuations meet the requirements of the Standards, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which the valuations should be classified.
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows.
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
40 | Ayvens Bank N.V. consolidated financial statements 2025
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorised in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. At the end of the reporting period foreign currency monetary items are translated using the exchange rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value are translated using the exchange rate at the date when the fair value was measured.
Exchange differences on the settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in the statement of profit or loss under the caption ‘Net lease related income’ and ‘Net interest income’. The exchange component on a non-monetary item is recognised in other comprehensive income when the gain or loss is also recognised in other comprehensive income. An exchange component on a non-monetary item accounted at fair value is recognised in the statement of profit or loss when the gain or loss is also recognised in the statement of profit or loss, except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.

The results and financial position of all foreign operations (excluding the Turkish subsidiary) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into euros (the presentation currency of the Group) as follows:
assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet;
income and expenses for each statement of profit or loss are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions); and
all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
For the currency translation of the Turkish subsidiary, assets, liabilities, income and expense, adjusted with the Consumer Price Index, are translated at the closing rate at the date of the balance sheet.
Exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign operations are taken to other comprehensive income. Such translation differences are recognised in the translation reserve of equity. When a foreign operation is disposed of or sold, in part or in full, the relevant amount of this reserve is reclassified in the statement of profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal or sale.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and are translated at the closing rate. Exchange differences arising are recognised in other comprehensive income.

Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value. Subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on the classification, driven by cash flow characteristics and the business model in which an asset is held. The classification categories are held at fair value through profit or loss (P&L), fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI) or amortised cost and are determined at initial recognition.
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost only if both of the following conditions are met:
It is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows
The contractual terms of the financial asset represent contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest.
Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
A financial asset or liability is classified as at fair value through profit or loss if the instrument is acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or based on the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
Investments in equity securities are categorised as fair value through profit or loss.
Derivatives are categorised as fair value through profit or loss. Reference is made to Note E Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting.
The fair value of a financial asset or liability is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The Group categorises the inputs used in valuation techniques into three levels, which are defined as:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted market prices included within Level I. Level 2 inputs include but are not limited to inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as:
42 | Ayvens Bank N.V. consolidated financial statements 2025
ointerest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals;
oimplied volatilities;
ocredit spreads.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
Investments in equity instruments that have a level 1 market observable valuation are valued applying market observable prices. Other equity investments without market observable prices are valued applying a level 3 valuation using financial information received from those entities. Reference is made to Note 34 Fair value of financial instruments.
Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial assets or financial liabilities are included in the initial recognition value of the financial instruments that are not at fair value through profit or loss. In any other case, transaction costs are expensed as incurred.
Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the ‘Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss’ category are included in the statement of profit or loss in the period in which these gains and losses arise and are included in the caption ‘Other income’ in the statement of profit or loss. Gains and losses comprise of changes in the fair value and include any dividend income from equity instruments when the dividend has been declared.
Financial assets measured at amortised cost
Financial assets are initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less any impairment losses. Transaction costs (including qualifying fees and commissions) are part of the amortised cost.
Amortised cost is the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition minus the principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount and, for financial assets, adjusted for any loss allowance.
The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial asset or financial liability to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset or to the amortised cost of a financial liability.
The following financial assets are classified at amortised cost: cash and balances at central banks, receivables from financial institutions, investments in debt securities, loans to investments accounted for using the equity method and other receivables.
Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost
Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value incurred and are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the statement of profit or loss over the period of the financial liability using the effective interest method.
The following financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost: borrowings from financial institutions, funds entrusted, debt securities issued, and certain items included in trade and other payables and deferred income (trade payables, interest payable). Transaction costs are included in amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Loans to investments accounted for using the equity method
Other receivables
Lease receivables from clients
Lease receivables from clients, both finance lease receivables and operating lease receivables as included in trade receivables in scope of IFRS 16, are brought in scope of IFRS 9 impairments. Reference is made to Note F Lease receivables from clients.
An expected credit loss (ECL) is recognised upon initial recognition of a financial asset and subsequently remeasured at each reporting date. ECL is calculated by multiplying the Probability of Default (PD), Loss Given Default (LGD) and Exposure at Default (EAD):
PD represents the likelihood of a counterparty defaulting on its financial obligations.
LGD represents the Group’s expectation of the extent of the loss on a defaulted exposure. LGD varies by type of counterparty and is expressed as a percentage loss per unit of exposure at the time of default.
EAD is based on the expected exposure amount at the time of a default.
To measure the ECL based on the General Approach, assets migrate through the following three stages based on the change in credit quality since initial recognition:
St

1:

losses
This stage includes financial assets that have not had a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition and that are not credit impaired upon origination. For these financial assets, the expected credit losses that result from default events that are expected within 12 months after the reporting date are recognised. Interest revenue is recognised based on the gross carrying amount, that is, without deduction for expected credit losses.
Stage 2: Lifetime expected credit losses – not credit impaired
For credit exposures where there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition of the financial asset but that are not credit impaired, a lifetime expected credit loss is recognised. Interest revenue is recognised based on the gross carrying amount, that is, without deduction for expected credit losses.
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk for financial assets since initial recognition. The Group uses both quantitative and qualitative information to determine if there is a significant increase in credit risk based on the characteristics of the financial asset. Quantitative information could be a decrease in credit rating below investment grade. Qualitative information is obtained from the monitoring of existing or forecast adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant (negative) change in the debtor’s ability to meet its obligations towards the Group. The Group applies a backstop of 30 days past due as an automatic trigger for significant increase in credit risk.
The Group has exposures to internal counterparties consisting of financial guarantees, loans to subsidiaries and loans to joint venture entities. As the credit risk is highly dependent on the financial performance of the underlying lease portfolios, these credit risk exposures are monitored following qualitative factors in assessing the significant increase in credit risk:
existing or forecast adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant (negative) change in the entity’s ability to meet its debt obligations towards Ayvens Bank; and
an actual or expected significant (negative) change in the operating results of the entity.
In addition, the Group uses its internal credit rating scale to apply quantitative factors in assessing whether there is a significant increase in credit risk. The Group considers that credit risk has increased if the internal credit rating has significantly deteriorated at the reporting date relative to the original internal rating. If a significant increase in credit risk is identified, this triggers in general a transfer for all instruments in scope held with this counterparty from stage 1 to 2.

Financial assets are assessed as credit impaired when one or more events that have a significant impact on the estimated future cash flows of that asset have occurred. Interest revenue is recognised based on the lower amortised cost, including expected credit losses.
The Group applies a forbearance policy based on European banking regulations from the Capital Requirements Directive IV and Capital Requirements Regulation and reported in the credit risk management section.
The Group identifies credit impaired assets under IFRS 9 by applying the definition of default used for credit risk management purposes that is based on the Regulatory framework. The Group defines a default as: a counterparty that is either unable to fulfil its obligations (defined as unlikely to pay”) irrespective of the amount involved or the number of days outstanding), or when counterparties are past due on any material credit obligation for more than 90 consecutive days.
For credit impaired financial assets, interest is recognised in profit or loss based on the amortised cost (net of impairment allowance) rather than the gross carrying amount (gross of impairment allowances) which is the case for stage 1 and 2 assets.

Lease receivables consist of receivables under finance lease contracts and trade receivables, consisting of amounts invoiced for financial and operating lease receivables. For lease receivables, the Group elected to adopt an accounting policy choice to use the simplified approach, which means recognition of lifetime expected credit losses, irrespective of if a significant increase in credit risk has taken place.
The amount of ECL for lease receivables is measured at the contract level as the probability weighted present value of all cash shortfalls over the expected life of the financial asset discounted at the original implicit interest rate embedded in the lease contract. The cash shortfall is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Group and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive.
The Group determines the ECL for lease receivables based on the model used for regulatory capital purposes (see Credit Risk Measurement). This model is adapted to remove prudential conservatism and to include forward-looking macro-economic scenarios and multi-year forecast over the lifetime of the lease contracts.
PD, LGD and EAD forecasts are combined to produce the ECL estimate. As such, ECL is highly dependent on the credit quality of counterparties in the portfolio at the reporting date, the types and characteristics of vehicles in the portfolio, the expected maturities and repayment terms of the contracts, the forecasts of future macro-economic variables in various scenarios, the forecast market developments and residual values for used vehicles in various scenarios, and the probability weight assigned to each forecast scenario. The model is periodically updated and developed based on back-testing of previous forecasts.

Where there are no reasonable expectations of recovering outstanding receivables that are considered credit-impaired, the gross carrying amount is reduced. Such a write-off constitutes a derecognition of the receivable and is in general recognised 12 months after the debtor is considered in default. The collection management and efforts to recover the asset may still be ongoing after the write-off.
Cash and balances at central banks
For deposits at central banks, the Group has assumed that there is no material credit risk as central banks are guaranteed by governments with high credit ratings.
Receivables from financial institutions
For receivables from financial institutions, the Group applies the General Approach using the low credit risk assumption. At each reporting date, the Group assesses the appropriateness of this exemption.
45 | Ayvens Bank N.V. consolidated financial statements 2025
Investments in debt securities
The Group applies the General Approach using the low credit risk assumption for its investments in bonds and notes. At each reporting date, the Group assesses the appropriateness of this exemption.
Loans to investments accounted for using the equity method
The Group applies the General Approach to loans to investments accounted for using the equity method.
Loan commitments and financial guarantees
Expected credit losses for loan commitments and financial guarantees are measured under the General Approach.
Reversal of impairment
An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimated expected credit loss and the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent of the asset’s carrying amount that would have been determined, net of amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

The amount of expected credit losses on financial assets is presented in the statement of financial position as a deduction from the gross carrying amount of the assets. Impairment losses recognised in the statement of profit or loss form part of the ‘direct cost of revenues’.
Note E - Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting
Derivatives are financial instruments, of which the value changes in response to underlying variables. Derivatives require little to no initial investment and are settled at a future date. Derivative financial instruments (derivatives) are initially recognised at fair value on the trade date and are subsequently remeasured at their fair value. Derivatives are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and as liabilities when the fair value is negative.
The fair value of currency and interest rate swaps is the estimated amount that the Group would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The Group categorises the inputs used in valuation techniques into three levels, which are defined as:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted market prices included within Level 1. Level 2 inputs include but are not limited to inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as:
ointerest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals;
oimplied volatilities;
ocredit spreads.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
For swaps a valuation technique is used maximising the use of relevant observable inputs. The fair values of not-actively-traded instruments are calculated using a generally accepted discounted cash flow method, while considering relevant market observable data such as quoted forward prices and interest rates. As a result of the Group having collateral agreements in place for all of its derivative counterparts, the requirement to reflect other observable market inputs such as CVA, DVA and FVA is eliminated, such that they are not included specifically in the calculations other than the use of an OIS curve for discounting purposes.
As disclosed in the risk paragraph derivatives are used from an economic perspective to mitigate the interest rate and currency exposures associated with the funding of lease contracts. The Group does not hold derivatives for trading purposes, although hedge accounting cannot always be applied.

Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are not designated as a hedging instrument in a cash flow hedge are recognised immediately in the statement of profit or loss in the caption ‘Unrealised gains/losses on financial instruments’. The Group applies cash flow hedge accounting and fair value hedge accounting.

Fair value hedge accounting is applied in such a way that the changes in fair value of the recognised liability (issued note) attributable to the hedged interest rate and currency risk fully offsets the changes in fair value of the receive leg of the derivative transaction (interest rate swap or cross currency interest rate swap). The fair value change from the cash flows on the note and the receive leg of the swap are equal and opposite.
Fair value hedge accounting entails that the hedged item (i.e. the note) that is measured at amortised cost is adjusted for gains/losses attributable to the risk being hedged. This adjustment is booked in the statement of profit or loss in the caption ‘Unrealised gains/(losses) on financial instruments’, where it offsets the measurement of the fair value change of the hedging instrument that is also recorded in the statement of profit or loss.
As the hedging period always matches the period of life-time of the note, the basis adjustments are fully reversed at maturity and no further amortisation of basis adjustments is necessary.
For fair value hedges, hedge ineffectiveness arises due to accounting mismatches and differences in fair values applied to the hedged item and hedging instruments, as well as different sensitivities to the changes in external market conditions. The Group uses regression testing for comparing the correlation between the hedged item and hedging instrument, in assessing hedge effectiveness.
Note F - Lease receivables from clients
This caption includes lease receivables from the finance lease portfolio and trade receivables. Trade receivables represent unpaid, current lessee receivables under existing (operating and finance lease) contracts or receivables related to inventory sales. The receivable balances are shown after any accumulated impairment losses and are initially measured at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Reference is made to Note D for the impairment of Lease receivables from clients.

Leases where substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset are transferred to the lessee are classified as finance leases. The Group as a lessor records a finance lease receivable at the amount of its net investment which equals the present value of the future minimum lease payments receivable (including any guaranteed residual value by the lessee) and the unguaranteed residual value accruing to the Group, after any accumulated impairment losses. Unearned finance income is the difference between the gross investment in the lease and the net investment in the lease.
Over the lease term, the instalments charged to clients are apportioned between a reduction in the net investment in the lease and finance lease income. The finance lease income is calculated using the effective interest method.
Note G - (Non-current) assets held-for-sale and discontinued operations
A non-current asset or disposal group of assets is classified as held-for-sale when its carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction, whereby the expectation is that the sale will be completed within one year of the classification of assets or disposal groups as held-for-sale, subject to extension in certain circumstances.
On initial and subsequent classification as held-for-sale, (non-current) assets and disposal groups are recognised at the lower of the carrying amount and the fair value less costs to sell. Impairment losses on initial classification as held-for-sale are included in the statement of profit or loss.
A discontinued operation is a component of the Group’s business that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations. Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale, if earlier, and is presented in the balance sheet separately. When
47 | Ayvens Bank N.V. consolidated financial statements 2025
an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative statement of profit or loss is restated as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the comparative period.
Depreciation and amortisation of assets ceases, in line with accounting reporting standards, at the moment of initial classification as held-for-sale.

All business combinations are accounted for by applying the acquisition method. Goodwill is recognised on acquisitions of subsidiaries. Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the subsidiary acquired. Goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. When the excess is negative (bargain purchase gain), it is recognised immediately in the statement of profit or loss.
Goodwill is allocated to cash generating units and is tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less cost of disposal and value in use. The value in use is determined as the present value of forecasted cash flows of the cash generating units over an appropriate period that could be distributed to equity investors. This discounted cash-flow-to-equity valuation methodology is a commonly used methodology for valuation of financial institutions.
Impairment losses are charged to the statement of profit or loss and are not subsequently reversed. Gains and losses on the disposal of a company include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the company sold.

Capitalised software relates to internally developed software and to purchased software from third parties, or acquired as part of business combinations, for Group use. Expenditure on research activities undertaken to gain new technical knowledge and understanding is recognised in the statement of profit or loss when incurred. The capitalised cost of internally developed software includes all costs directly attributable to developing software and is amortised over its useful life. Capitalised internally developed and externally purchased software are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less cost of disposal and value in use.
Subsequent expenditure on software assets is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. When subsequent expenditure is capitalised, the carrying value of the replaced part is derecognised. All other expenditure is expensed when incurred.
The estimated useful lives of software for the current and comparative period are between three and eight years.

Assets under construction relates to the capitalisation of internally developed software and IT platforms that are not ready for use. Expenditure on development is recognised as an asset under construction when the Group can demonstrate its intention and ability to complete the development and use of the software in a manner that will generate future economic benefits and can measure the costs to complete the development.
Assets under construction are allocated to the cash generating units and are tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less cost of disposal and value in use. The value in use is determined as the present value of forecasted cash flows of the cash generating units over an appropriate period that could be distributed to equity investors. Assets under construction are not amortised.

Other intangible assets include customer relationship intangible assets, customer contract intangible assets acquired as part of business combinations and recognised separately from goodwill. Customer relationship intangible assets are amortised over 20 years and customer contracts are amortised over the remaining contract period (on average five years).
Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Group are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment.
An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less cost of disposal and value in use.

Other property and equipment (including right-of-use assets) are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Costs include expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset.
Subsequent expenditure on property and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates and its costs can be measured reliably. All other expenditure is expensed when incurred. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property and equipment are recognised in the statement of profit or loss as incurred.
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset is impaired, when the carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s “fair value less costs to sell” and “value in use”. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in operating income in the statement of profit or loss during the year of disposal.
The Group recognised on the balance sheet the right-of-use asset and the lease liability. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost and subsequently at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses over the contractual term. The right-of-use asset is adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liabilities. For impairment accounting policy please refer to Note M – Impairment of tangible assets.
The lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of lease payments not yet paid at commencement date and are discounted using an incremental borrowing rate which varies per country within the Group. The liability is subsequently increased by the interest accretion to the lease liability and decreased by lease payments made. The lease liability is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments or based on changes in assessment of execution of certain extension or termination options in the contracts.

The carrying amount of other property and equipment is depreciated to its estimated residual value and recognised in the statement of profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of each part of an item of property and equipment. The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:

Due to IFRS 16, the right-of-use assets are recognised and depreciated over the lease term, defined as the non-cancellable period for which the lessee has the right to use an underlying asset including optional periods when an entity is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend (or not to terminate) a lease.

The lease classification is determined on a contract-by-contract basis, taking into consideration the substance of the transaction and the specific details of each lease contract. The key factor is if substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership are transferred.
Various criteria are used to determine the lease classification of which the two most important are:
whether the lease term is for the major part of the economic life of the asset; and
whether the present value of minimum lease payments amounts to at least substantially all of the fair value of the asset.

An operating lease is different from a finance lease and is classified as such if it does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership. The Group as a lessor presents the assets subject to operating leases in the balance sheet according to the nature of the asset.
The Group leases assets to its clients for durations that normally range between three to four years. In almost all cases, the leased assets are returned to the Group at the end of the contract term. In case of early termination in most of the cases there will be a settlement invoice and the risk is borne by the customer. There are two main types of operating leasing products offered:
Closed calculation contracts
Closed calculation contracts are typically leasing contracts whereby the client is charged a fixed fee for the use of the asset over a period of time. At the end of the lease, the asset is normally returned to the Group and then sold in the second-hand car market. In case of normal termination, the overall risk on the result of the contract, both positive and negative, is borne by the Group.
Open calculation contracts
Open calculation contracts are leasing contracts whereby the client, under particular circumstances, receives a portion of the positive result from the lease contract. In open calculation contracts a customer may be entitled to receive a portion of the net positive result from factors that have resulted in the vehicle being above its expected residual value and/or better RMT results at the end of the lease. However, any remaining result risk will still be
50 | Ayvens Bank N.V. consolidated financial statements 2025
borne by the Group. Open calculation contracts are classified as operating leases based on the (negative) risks being borne by the Group.

Property and equipment under operating lease and rental fleet are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost consists of the purchase price and directly attributable costs. The operating lease and rental fleet assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life (normally the contract period for operating leases) to their estimated residual value. The residual value and the useful life of the leased assets are reviewed at least at each financial year-end and, if expectations differ from previous estimates, the changes are accounted for prospectively as a change in accounting estimate (so-called prospective depreciation). Depreciation is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
Depreciation is not applied to new vehicles available for lease when these vehicles are not in the condition to be leased to customers. This often applies to vehicles bought for signed lease contracts or vehicles bought with the intention to lease that are temporary stored and not ready to be used.
For the impairment accounting policy please refer to Note M Impairment of tangible assets. The contract period ranges on average between three to four years. Upon termination of the lease or rental contract the relevant assets are reclassified to the caption ‘Inventories’ at their carrying amount.
The operating lease instalments are recognised in the financial statements on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Note J - Inventories
Inventories are assets that are held-for-sale in the ordinary course of our business. Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Upon termination of the lease or rental contract the relevant assets are reclassified from the caption ‘Property and equipment under operating lease and rental fleet’ to the caption ‘Inventories’ at their carrying amount. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the applicable variable selling expenses. Valuation allowances on inventories are included in ‘direct cost of revenues’.
Note L - Other receivables and prepayments
Other receivables and prepayments include prepayments in respect of expenses attributable to a subsequent period plus amounts still to be received. These amounts are valued at cost. Portfolios of insurance contracts issued, and reinsurance contracts held that have an asset position are reported in this caption. Reference is made to Note O - Provisions for the disclosure of (re)insurance assets. For receivables subject to the ECL accounting policy please refer to Note D – Financial assets and liabilities.
Note M – Impairment of assets
Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested for impairment annually. Assets that are subject to amortisation or depreciation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s “fair value less costs of disposal” and “value in use”.
In the annual assessment of whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, the Group considers both external as well as internal sources of information. If such indication for impairment exists, an analysis is performed to assess whether the carrying value of the asset or cash generating unit under an operating lease exceeds the recoverable amount, being the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and the value in use. The value in use is determined as the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the cash generating unit.
The recoverable amount of lease contracts is determined as the value in use at customer contract level (cash-generating unit). As debt funding and interest payments are considered to be an essential element of the Group operating lease business the assessment of the value in use is performed based on a discounted cash-flow-to-equity model. This valuation methodology is a commonly used methodology for valuation of financial institutions.
51 | Ayvens Bank N.V. consolidated financial statements 2025
To determine whether any right-of-use asset or assets categorised as other property and equipment should be impaired, the Group considers both external and internal impairment indicators. If such indicators exist, an analysis is performed to assess whether the carrying value of the cash generating unit exceeds the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is determined as higher of the asset's or cash-generating unit's fair value less costs of disposals and its value in use. Abandoned office spaces, which are ready for lease and no longer used in operating, represent separate cash generating units and are tested for impairment separately.

Any impairment loss on other non-financial assets is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent of the asset’s carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
Note N - Capital and dividends
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Dividends are recognised as a liability in the balance sheet after approval of the profit distribution by the shareholders.
The proceeds of the issue of AT1 capital securities are available to the Group in perpetuity and are undated, deeply subordinated, resettable and callable. As the payment of distributions is wholly discretionary, the proceeds received and interest coupon, net of tax, paid on them are recognised in equity. As there is no formal obligation to (re)pay the principal amount or to pay interest coupon, the capital securities are recognised as equity and the distributions paid on these instruments, as well as the transaction costs related to the issuance of the capital securities, are recognised directly in equity.
Note O - Provisions
A provision is recognised in the balance sheet when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.

The risk of ‘damage to owned vehicles’ is part of the IFRS 15 allocation of revenue and IAS 37 provisioning, whereas insurance contracts issued to customers for accepting significant insurance risk is subject to application under IFRS 17.
Damage services provisions
The Group is exposed to the risk of damage services to vehicles within its fleet as part of its general business risk. The Group as the owner of the car is exposed to the risk of bodywork risk of the car and will repair the damages to the bodywork as a result of damage. Damage services are therefore a part of the performance obligations as defined under IFRS 15. Damage service provisions include the costs to cover the damage risk of motor material damage vehicles owned by the Group.
Damage services provisions are measured at the amount of the ‘best estimate’ expected expenditure required to settle the present obligations to repair the damage at the reporting date. An estimate for Incurred But Not Reported (IBNR) and Incurred But Not Enough Reported (IBNER) is made to determine appropriate damage provision levels. These estimates are based on historical data of accident frequency in the local market and the cost per claim updated for current assumptions. The measurement includes a margin for risks and uncertainties that is inherent to the historical data adjusted for recent pricing developments. The damage service provision is expected to be recovered or settled within a maximum of 12 months.
52 | Ayvens Bank N.V. consolidated financial statements 2025
Insurance contracts provisions
Insurance contract provisions include insurance cover offered to customers for risks underwritten by the Ayvens Group’s insurance subsidiary, Ayvens Insurance (Euro Insurances DAC), based in Dublin, Ireland. The risk included in the provision are mainly relating to motor third-party liability.
Insurance contracts are contracts under which the Group accepts a significant risk other than a financial risk from a policyholder by agreeing to compensate the beneficiary on the occurrence of an uncertain future event by which he or she will be adversely affected. Contracts that have been classified as insurance at inception are not reclassified subsequently.
For measurement purposes, the insurance contracts are grouped into portfolios of insurance contracts that have similar risks and are managed together. Portfolios are further grouped in year cohorts of issuance and divided based on expected profitability at inception into two categories: onerous contracts and not-onerous contracts. Insurance contracts are recognised at the earlier of the beginning of the coverage period or when it becomes onerous. Insurance contracts are derecognised when the contract is expired, is discharged or cancelled. Modifications to contracts that are not considered changes in estimates are derecognised and a new contract is recognised.
All our insurance contracts issued and reinsurance contracts held are eligible to be measured by applying the premium allocation approach. Under the premium allocation approach non-life insurance contract provisions include liabilities for remaining coverage and liabilities for incurred claims.
The liability for remaining coverage reflects premiums received less amounts recognised in revenue for insurance contracts provided. As the premiums are received within one year of the coverage period no discounting is applied to reflect financial risk or the time value of money.
The liability for incurred claims is determined on a discounted probability-weighted expected value basis and includes an explicit risk adjustment for non-financial risk. The liability includes the Group’s obligation to pay other incurred insurance expenses.
The liability for incurred claims is the obligation to pay valid claims for insured events that have already been occurred, including events that have occurred but for which claims have not been reported. The liability for incurred claims is estimated as the fulfilment cash flows measured as an explicit, unbiased, and probability-weighted estimate (i.e. expected value) of the present value of the future cash outflows minus the present value of the future cash inflows that will arise as the entity fulfils insurance contracts, including a risk adjustment for non-financial risk. The cash outflows include claim handling costs, policy administration and maintenance costs and an allocation of directly attributable fixed and variable overheads to fulfilling insurance contracts.
Under the premium allocation approach, it is assumed that no contracts in the portfolio are onerous at initial recognition, unless facts and circumstances that are monitored by performance indicators by Group’s management indicate otherwise. Such onerous contracts are separately grouped from other contracts and the Group recognises a loss in profit or loss for the loss component. If during the coverage period, facts and circumstances indicate that a group of insurance contracts is onerous, the Group recognises a loss in profit or loss for the net outflow, resulting in the carrying amount of the liability for the group being equal to the fulfilment cash flows.
Portfolio’s or contracts with an asset position are reported under Other receivables and prepayments (Note L).
Reinsurance assets
The Group measures its reinsurance assets for a group of reinsurance contracts that it holds on the same basis as insurance contracts that it issues adapted to reflect the features of reinsurance contracts held that differ from insurance contracts issued.
Where the Group recognises a loss on initial recognition of an onerous group of insurance contracts, the Group establishes a loss-recovery component of the asset for remaining coverage for a group of reinsurance contracts held depicting the recovery of losses.
53 | Ayvens Bank N.V. consolidated financial statements 2025
Annually the Group assesses whether its amounts recoverable under a reinsurance contract are subject to impairment. Reinsurance assets are impaired if there is objective evidence, because of an event that occurred after initial recognition of the reinsurance asset, that not all amounts due under the terms of the contract may be received. The carrying value is reduced to this calculated recoverable value, and the impairment loss recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

Group companies operate various employee benefit schemes. The schemes are generally funded through payments to insurance companies or trustee-administered funds, determined by periodic actuarial calculations. The Group has defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans as well as other post-employment benefits.
Defined contribution pension plans
A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions to a separate company. The Group has no further payment obligations once the pension contributions have been paid. Contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognised as expenses in the statement of profit or loss when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.
Defined benefit pension plans
A defined benefit plan is a pension plan that is not a defined contribution plan. Typically, defined benefit plans define an amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors, such as age, years of service and compensation.
The Group’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit pension plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefits that employees have earned in return for their services in the current and prior periods. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated using the projected unit credit method. The benefit is discounted at the yield at the balance sheet date on high quality corporate bonds denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid.
The net benefit obligation recognised in the balance sheet is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of the plan assets. For determining the pension expense, the expected return on plan assets is determined using a high quality corporate bond rate identical to the discount rate used in determining the defined benefit obligation.
Actuarial gains and losses from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equity in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise without recycling to the statement of profit or loss. Past service costs are recognised in the statement of profit or loss when due.
Settlements and curtailments invoke immediate recognition in the statement of profit or loss of the consequent change in the present value of the defined benefit obligations and in the market value of the plan assets. A settlement is an early termination of all or part of the defined benefit obligation. A curtailment occurs when the company is demonstrably committed to materially reducing the number of employees in the defined benefit plan or the pension benefits for future services.

Other provisions include amounts for other long-term employment benefit plans, termination benefits, litigations, ECL for financial guarantees, restructuring as well as onerous contracts. These provisions have been estimated based on the best estimate of expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date considering risks and uncertainties and the effect of time value of money. For ECL on financial guarantees see Note D Financial assets and liabilities.
Some Group companies provide other post-employment benefits to their employees based on local legal requirements. These benefits mainly comprise termination indemnities which are either payable at retirement age or if the employee leaves. Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Group before the normal retirement
54 | Ayvens Bank N.V. consolidated financial statements 2025
date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group recognises termination benefits at the earlier of the following dates: (a) when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits; and (b) when the Group recognises costs for restructuring that are within the scope of IAS 37 and involve the payment of termination benefits. In the event when an offer is made to encourage voluntary redundancy, the termination benefits are measured based on the number of employees expected to accept the offer. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period are discounted to their present value.
A provision for restructuring is recognised when the Group has approved a detailed and formal restructuring plan, and the restructuring either has commenced or has been announced publicly.
Regarding onerous contracts under IFRS 15, the present obligation under a contract that is onerous is recognised and measured as a provision. An onerous contract is a contract in which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it. The unavoidable costs under a contract reflect the least net cost of exiting from the contract, which is the lower of the cost of fulfilling it and any compensation or penalties arising from failure to fulfil it. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract.

The Group recognises a liability and an expense for variable remuneration to employees based on a comparison made at the end of the year between the criteria applied for granting variable remuneration and an assessment of the relevant performance. The Group recognises an accrual where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.
The variable remuneration award for the Identified Staff consists of a direct payment in cash and a deferred payment in cash and Phantom Share Units (PSUs). The PSUs represent the underlying value of the company shares which entitle the participant to a payment in cash after a specified period and are recognised as a cash-settled share-based payment arrangement. The PSU part of the deferred award is revalued annually by estimating the company’s equity value for determining the fair value of the outstanding PSU awards. Liabilities recognised for PSUs are measured at the estimated fair value, which is remeasured at each reporting date based on the estimated equity value of the entity. All changes to the PSUs’ liabilities are recognised in the statement of profit or loss under staff expenses.

Interest income
Interest income mainly includes income from interest-bearing assets, which is recognised using the effective interest method.
Interest expense
Finance cost consists of interest expenses and similar charges for interest-bearing liabilities and is recognised in the statement of profit or loss using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments and receipts through the expected life of the financial asset or liability to the carrying amount of the financial asset or liability.
The calculation of the effective interest rate includes all fees paid or received, transaction costs and discounts or premiums that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate is established on initial recognition of the financial asset and liability and is not revised subsequently.

Net lease related income
Leasing income from operating lease instalments, fleet management and other services are recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term, based on the total of the contractual payments divided by the number of months of the lease term.
Charges to clients may include passed on costs such as fuel, road taxes and other taxes which do not represent the inflow of economic benefits and/or are collected on behalf of third parties and are therefore not presented as revenues.
Income related to repair & maintenance services is recognised over the term of the lease contract. The allocation of income over the term is based on the normal repair and maintenance cost profile supported by historical statistics and expected service costs.

Note R - Income tax
Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the statement of profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case the income tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. All entities within the Dutch fiscal unity are jointly liable for any tax liabilities regarding the Dutch tax authorities.
Ayvens Bank is part of the Dutch Fiscal Unity with LP Group as head, including other entities outside scope of consolidation of Ayvens Bank. While LP Group is the head of the Fiscal Unity, Ayvens Bank settles all tax positions with tax authorities and accounts for the current tax positions for the Fiscal Unity as a whole.
Furthermore Ayvens Bank accounts for the carry forward losses for the Fiscal Unity as a whole. All entities settle their positions with Ayvens Bank. These positions, except for Deferred tax assets and liabilities, are accounted for as related party transactions. Deferred tax assets and liabilities resulting from temporary differences, not resulting from tax losses, are accounted for at an entity level.

Current income tax is the expected income tax payable or receivable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date and any adjustment to income tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years.
Current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities are only offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and if a subsidiary intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Deferred tax is recognised, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes and providing for unused tax losses and unused tax credits.
The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised. Future taxable profits are determined based on the reversal of relevant taxable temporary differences. If the amount of taxable temporary differences is insufficient to recognise a deferred tax asset in full, then future taxable profits, adjusted for
56 | Ayvens Bank N.V. consolidated financial statements 2025
reversal of existing temporary differences, are considered. Deferred tax assets are reviewed two times per year and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related income tax benefit will be realised.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are only offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset the tax assets against tax liabilities relating to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable company or different taxable companies which intend either to settle current income tax assets and liabilities on a net basis, or to realise the asset and to settle the liabilities simultaneously (often within one fiscal unity).
Note S - Statement of cash flows
The consolidated statement of cash flows has been drawn up in accordance with the indirect method, classifying cash flows as cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities.

Operating cash flows comprise all cash flows during the period that do not qualify as either investing cash flows or financing cash flows. In the net cash flow from operating activities, the result before profit is adjusted for those items in the statement of profit or loss and changes in balance sheet items, which do not result in actual cash flows during the year. As the main operating activity of the Group is to provide operating and finance leases, cash payments to acquire underlying assets under operating lease and finance lease are classified as an operating activity. A similar approach is followed for interest received and interest paid, even though these arise on financing balances.

Cash and balances with central banks are defined as short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. The short-term characteristic of a cash equivalent is generally taken as a term of three months or less from the date of acquisition. The balance includes cash, central bank deposits, call money and cash at banks. Bank overdrafts and call money that are repayable on demand are included in the cash flows with respect to borrowings from financial institutions.
Note T - Segment reporting
Following the sale of all subsidiaries in 2024, the Group no longer has any operating segments that meet the definition under IFRS 8 Operating Segments. Consequently, segment reporting remains not applicable for the year ended 2025. Comparative segment information for prior periods is not presented.
In accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, the results of the previously reported segments continue to be classified as discontinued operations, and segment disclosures for prior periods remain irrelevant for the current reporting period.

Note U - Critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgements
Preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.
The estimates and assumptions are updated in case of significant impacts, such as global crisis (for instance the Ukraine-Russia war) and the key sources of estimation uncertainty are investigated in more depth in the specific notes to the statement of financial position.
Assumptions and estimation uncertainties at 31 December 2025 include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

The Group recognises deferred tax assets only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences are analysed and will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the year in which such determination is made.

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. The Group uses its judgement to select a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at the end of each reporting period.

A.Risk management approach
Ayvens Bank, is committed to ensuring regulatory compliance and maintaining a risk profile within the set risk appetite, which is performed by challenging and assisting the business and promoting risk awareness. Ayvens Bank follows the Ayvens risk taxonomy and Ayvens policies.
As part of the risk taxonomy, Ayvens Bank recognises five categories of key risks:
I.Credit risk,
II.Structural risk: Liquidity and funding risks and Market Risk on banking book,
III.Non-financial risk:
a.Operational risk and Information risk,
b.Compliance and Legal risks
IV.Model risk
V.Reputational Risk
For further information on risk approach please refer to ‘Risk management’ section under ‘Directors report’ of this Annual Report.
This section of the financial statements describes Ayvens Bank’s approach to the risk management objectives and organisation in general, as well as Ayvens Bank’s policy, appetite and measurement of its risks.
60 | Ayvens Bank N.V. consolidated financial statements 2025
B. Capital management
The primary objective of our capital management strategy is to ensure that capital adequacy requirements are always met , and that sufficient capital is available to support Ayvens Bank’s strategy. A financial institution is expected to enhance the link between its risk profile, risk management and risk mitigation systems and its capital. The main principle is that a banking institution assesses the adequacy of its available capital in view of the risks to which it is exposed. Ayvens Bank’s capital management consists of internal quantification of risk capital associated with its business activities, capital planning and monitoring of developments in exposures and capital adequacy ratios, based on targets set during the annual Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP).

Ayvens Bank is a credit institution, part of the Ayvens Group which is under the supervision of the ECB. Ayvens Bank reports its capital metrics and risk exposures in accordance with Capital Requirements Regulation (Regulation No 575/2013) and comparing Ayvens Bank’s eligible regulatory capital with its risk-weighted assets for credit risk, operational risk and market risk. Furthermore, banking institutions are required to assess the adequacy of available capital in view of the risks to which they are exposed. The periodic process in achieving this objective is referred to as ICAAP.

From the monthly capital planning process, a forecast of the regulatory Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) and Total Capital (TC) ratio is prepared. The projections of the CET1 and TC ratios are performed to ensure ongoing compliance with the minimum requirements set by the ECB. Next to the projections of the CET1 and TC ratio, a forecast of the development of the minimum requirement is made which considers the requirements of the ECB; based on the latest estimates Ayvens Bank will remain above the minimum CET1 and TC requirement.

The credit risk exposure of Ayvens Bank at the end of 2025 mainly consists of the lending of liquidity to the Ayvens Treasury Center and the exposure of its investments in Mexico and Brazil. The CRR is a key part of the European Union's financial regulatory framework aimed at strengthening the resilience of the banking sector and since 1st of January 2025, credit risk and operational risk TREA computation changed to the CRR 3 rules. CRR3 incorporates the final elements of the Basel III standards, providing a comprehensive approach to risk management, capital requirements, and regulatory supervision.

Ayvens Bank analyses the development in risk exposures and in eligible capital; stress testing is an important part of this analysis. Developments in risk exposures typically represent relative movements in the balance sheet exposure movements, whereas eligible capital normally grows with retained profits.
Based on the December 2025 ICAAP, which has been submitted in March 2026, Ayvens Bank concludes that it is sufficiently capitalized and resilient to future plausible stress situations. The Company is capitalized at the end of the year 2025 above the minimum capital requirements.

All risk related decisions, except for the risk matters that are subject to approval of the Supervisory Board, are within the power of the Managing Board. To support decision-making on risk matters, the Managing Board is supported by the two permanent risk committees: the Asset-Liability Committee (ALCO) and the Entity Risk and Compliance Committee (ERC).
The ERC is the dedicated risk committee of the Managing Board. The ERC discusses and oversees all risk-related topics and matters. The ERC consists of all members of the Managing Board and certain non-voting attendees and is chaired by the CEO.
The ALCO promotes and ensures compliance with regulatory liquidity and solvency requirements and Ayvens/SG liquidity and solvency requirements within Ayvens Bank. The ALCO has a delegated authority of the Managing Board to take decisions in the best interest of the Company and its retail deposits account holders and remaining bond holders. Next to that, the ALCO has the responsibility to monitor the performance of the Deposits Facility Agreement between the Ayvens Treasury Center and all transactions related thereto. For these committees, separate charters are specified.

This risk is relevant given that all retail deposits are on-lent to one counterparty (ie. the Ayvens Treasury Center) which imposes a concentration risk. The single counterparty risk/large exposure will exceed 25% of the Tier 1 capital. Ayvens Bank relies on the large-exposure exemption provided by the ECB/DNB.
Ayvens Bank lends on a daily basis the deposits to the Ayvens Treasury Center. Ayvens Treasury Center utilizes these deposits to fund Ayvens’ leasing activities through the Ayvens’ local operational subsidiaries. The funding mechanics provide for the transfer of 100% of the deposits i.e., the aggregate amount of the Loan will equal 100% of the aggregate amount of the outstanding deposits including any accrued interests.
However, this amount is uncommitted, and the loan will be made available by Ayvens Bank only if the relevant criteria are met: (1) the security ratio, (2) the eligibility criteria and (3) there is no default. Controls are in place to monitor that the criteria are met.
In view of the credit risk, the loan from Ayvens Bank to the Ayvens Treasury Center is secured with a first ranking security right. This security right comprises the loans granted by the Ayvens Treasury Center to the operational entities to fund the various leasing activities in different countries (each an "IC Loan", and together the "Collateral"). If the Ayvens Treasury Center cannot satisfy its due and payable payment obligations under the Deposit Facility Agreement, Ayvens Bank may enforce the loan Collateral received from the Ayvens Treasury Center.
In addition to the deposit lending, Ayvens Bank is also exposed to credit risk to the Ayvens Treasury Center in relation to the proceeds of legacy bonds that have been lent to the Ayvens Treasury Center on a back-to-back basis.
In addition, lending to the Ayvens Treasury Center is covered by a guarantee from Ayvens, which provides an extra layer of protection.
In addition, Ayvens Bank also has to ensure that it on a continuous basis meets the liquidity coverage ratio (“LCR”) and net stable funding ratio ("NSFR") requirements. In order to assess the amount required to cover for the interday liquidity risk, historical gross daily outflow data has been analysed. In addition, Ayvens Bank has analysed what the highest total gross outflow has been on two consecutive days in order to ensure that outflows on a specific day and the day thereafter are covered (in case outflows on the next day take place prior to the settlement of the outflows on the previous day). Ayvens Bank deemed it prudent to multiply this number by two to ensure that at all times this buffer is in place.
The minimum LCR requirement for Ayvens Bank is assumed to be 100%. Ayvens Bank has established an internal threshold of 150% and internal limit of 130% for the LCR. These limits were set in line with the SG Framework and in consultation with Ayvens. As such, the buffer amount exceeds by far the assumed coverage required for the interday liquidity risk and the LCR ratios are expected to be above 200%. Based on the above and the financial forecast, the NSFR is set on an internal threshold of 110% and internal limit of 105%.

Ayvens Bank does not grant loans to third parties as it only grants I/C loans to the Ayvens Treasury Center. The approval of those loans relies on a specific set-up and legal agreements negotiated and signed by the two counterparts and Ayvens, with the aim of mitigating the credit risk on Ayvens Treasury Center:
1.The Deposit Facility Agreement (DFA) is an agreement between Ayvens Bank and Ayvens Treasury Center through which Ayvens Bank transfers its deposits raised to Ayvens Treasury Center through I/C loans. This DFA is associated with a;
64 | Ayvens Bank N.V. consolidated financial statements 2025
2.Pledge Agreement, which secures the I/C loans with a loan collateral portfolio composed of first ranking security rights on eligible Euro I/C loans provided by Ayvens Treasury Center to the operating leasing entities established in the EU. All these operating leasing entities are part of the Ayvens Group.
In addition, the lending to Ayvens Treasury Center is covered by a guarantee from Ayvens, which provides an extra layer of protection. The availability of sufficient collateral is monitored weekly. In addition, it is monitored on a monthly basis whether the lending to Ayvens Treasury Center is fully covered by the Ayvens guarantee.

Ayvens Bank has transferred the structural risk unrelated to deposit taking to the Ayvens Treasury Center. The main activities related to structural risk which continue to take place at Ayvens Bank are related to continually transferring the structural risk related to retail deposits to the Ayvens Treasury Center. These activities include the daily payments and settlement process with other banks (as part of the normal deposit and withdrawal process of retail depositors), lending out the retail deposits (based on legal matching) to the Ayvens Treasury Center and managing the interday liquidity needs. These treasury activities are executed by the Ayvens Bank finance team.
In view of this residual liquidity risk, Ayvens Bank and the Ayvens Treasury Center entered into a liquidity facility agreement pursuant to which Ayvens Bank can draw amounts required to satisfy its liquidity requirements imposed under applicable legislation. The Liquidity Facility Agreement is linked to the liquidity buffer held at Ayvens Bank. The drawn part under the Liquidity Facility Agreement will at all times be equal to the buffer held at Ayvens Bank.
By matching the maturity profile of assets and liabilities, structural risk is mitigated. This specifically applies to:
Liquidity and funding risk: The matched funding principle helps avoid the risk that liabilities have to be repaid at different times from when assets are turned into cash, thus either causing drain on cash reserves or resulting in insufficient cash balances.
Interest rate Risk in the Banking Book (IRRBB): The interest rate (re)setting period of the Interest Bearing Assets (lease contracts) should match the interest rate (re)setting period of the net debt funding for each of the currencies in which the lease contracts are denominated.
In terms of the Balance Sheet structure of Ayvens Bank, the following specific items are focused on:
1.Retail Deposit Taking by the Ayvens Bank. The deposits, both fixed-term and non-maturing (in this case through application of a model), are passed on to Ayvens Treasury Center through the Deposit Facility Agreement, which replicates the liquidity- and interest rate characteristics of the retail deposits. This way, all structural risk stemming from retail deposits is passed on to Ayvens Treasury Center.
2.The portfolio of legacy bonds. A limited number of senior unsecured bonds (both public and private placements) in run-off are on the liability side of the balance sheet. It is expected that the last of these bonds
66 | Ayvens Bank N.V. consolidated financial statements 2025
will reach maturity date on 6 May 2030. Although these liabilities are on Ayvens Bank's balance sheet, Ayvens Bank places the proceeds of these legacy bonds with Ayvens Treasury Center on a back-to-back basis to ensure all structural risk is transferred. Ayvens Bank will not issue new bonds on the financial markets as Ayvens is the sole bond issuer for Ayvens Group.
The assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet items which do not have a set contractual maturity (e.g., sight deposits) have their maturity assessed using a quantitative model. For term deposits, contractual maturity is assumed.
The on-lending of the retail deposits will be based on a legal maturity matching principle. This means that from a liquidity perspective every change in retail deposit volume is translated into a similar change in the amount of the Loan provided to the Treasury Center with a business day delay (i.e. settlement of net in- or outflows on a certain business day is settled with the Treasury Center on the business day thereafter). Consequently, Ayvens Bank is only exposed to an interday liquidity risk.

The “Other” category consists of smaller entities with corresponding currencies. The category does not reconcile with the table showing the Group’s net currency position due to the inclusion of an off-balance sheet commitment as part of the total FX risk positions, whereas the position on the previous page only includes on-balance positions.
Although the Group is aware that, from an absolute equity perspective, currency exposures exist, these exposures are deliberately not fully mitigated following the ratio protection strategy.

Operational risk
Operational risk definition: Operational risk within Ayvens is part of the Non-Financial Risk Management (NFRM) domain, and it involves the risk of a positive, negative, or potential loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, human behaviour, and systems or external incidents.
Ayvens Bank is exposed to operational risks inherent in its business: Risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, personnel or information systems, or from external events. Ayvens Bank has established a goal to control these risks using:
analysis of operational risk and a “weak signals” detection system;
the deployment of secure procedures for processing data, special prevention mechanisms and an internal control system. In addition, a framework has been designed to ensure business continuity in crisis situations;
implementation of key risk monitoring and control indicators (KRI);
promotion of a solid “risk culture” with respect to operational risks throughout the Ayvens Bank;
the expectation is that its critical service providers will provide a level of resilience and information security equivalent to its own.
Standardised Approach
Operational risk is included under the Pillar 1 capital and total risk exposure amount on the Standardised Approach (STD). In 2025, under Pillar 1 the operational risk regulatory capital requirement is EUR 45 million (2024: EUR 261 million).
Model risk
Model risk is the risk of adverse consequences (including financial consequences) for the Group from decisions based principally on models. The source of model risk may be linked to incorrect model design, implementation, use or monitoring. The source of model risk may be linked to incorrect model design, implementation, use or monitoring.
Ayvens will monitor model risk. However, Ayvens Bank is dependent on a few models regarding the liquidity and IRRBB risk calculation. As such, it will monitor that the internal standards as set by Ayvens and SG Group, are followed and no overdue validations apply. Ayvens Bank has a low appetite on overdue validation for the models in scope.

OECD Pillar Two model rules
On December 14, 2022, the Council of the EU adopted the Pillar Two directive (the Global AntiBase Erosion Proposal or “GloBE” EU Directive 2022/2523). It states that large multinationals will be required to compute their effective tax rate according to the GloBE rules (referred to as GloBE income and GloBE effective tax rate) in each jurisdiction where they operate. They will be liable to pay a top-up tax for the difference between their GloBE effective tax rate in that jurisdiction and the GloBE rate set of 15%. For Ayvens Bank, the new rules are applicable as of fiscal year 2024. No impact or exposure are expected related to Pillar II.

All investments accounted for using the equity method in the table above are interests in associates.
LeasePlan Mexico and LeasePlan Brasil
LeasePlan Mexico merged with ALD Mexico effective February 2025, forming Ayvens Mexico S.A. de C.V. The Bank’s new shareholding is approximately 58.96%. Ayvens Bank holds no control. LeasePlan Brazil merged with ALD Brazil effective August 2025, forming Ayvens Brasil Ltda., with the Bank’s resulting shareholding of approximately 1.14%. Following the mergers, the ownership interest in the net equity of the merged entities decreased, resulting in the recognition of a loss of EUR (21.8) million for the Mexico merger and EUR (1.7) million for the Brazil merger in retained earnings (see Note 29).
During 2024, the Company sold one share of LeasePlan Mexico and one share of LeasePlan Brazil to Ayvens Subsequently, an arrangement was included in the shareholders' agreement which effectively transferred the voting rights and control from Ayvens Bank to Ayvens, resulting in the loss of control for Ayvens Bank in both subsidiaries.
In December 2025, Ayvens Bank sold 4.55% of its shares in LeasePlan Arrendamento Mercantil S.A. to Ayvens Holding do Brasil Ltda. Following an amendment to LeasePlan Arrendamento Mercantil S.A.’s bylaws, Ayvens Bank lost control over the entity, ceased consolidating it and further the investment is accounted for as an equity-method investment. The transaction resulted in a gain of EUR 1.4 million, which has been recognized in Other Income (see Note 7).

Provision for post-employment benefits
The Group previously sponsored defined benefit pension plans, which were final salary plans providing a guaranteed level of pension payable for life. Benefits were based on members’ length of service and final salary prior to retirement. These plans were funded through trustee-administered funds governed by local regulations. Pensions generally did not receive inflationary increases once in payment. At the time of disposal in 2024, the total number of participants in these plans was nil, with no active employees and no inactive participants.
Other Post-Employment Benefits
The Group also operated other post-employment benefit plans in three countries, primarily for legally required termination indemnities payable upon retirement or termination. These plans were largely unfunded, with the Group meeting obligations as they fell due. The amount payable depended on the employee’s length of service. As per December 31, 2024, the total number of participants in these plans was nil.
Following the sale of the subsidiaries in 2024, the Group no longer has any obligations related to these post-employment benefit plans. Consequently, no provisions remain as at 31 December 2024.
The following tables summarise the impact on the balance sheet, payment obligations, assets and economic assumptions in respect of the main post-employment benefits in the various countries.

For certain other receivables (Rebates and bonuses and commissions receivable, Reclaimable damages and Interest to be received) and payables (Trade payables and Interest payable) with a remaining term well below one year, the carrying value is deemed to reflect the fair value.
There were no changes in valuation techniques during the year nor transfers between levels.
Financial instruments in level 1
The fair value of level 1 financial instruments is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry, group, pricing service
122 | Ayvens Bank N.V. consolidated financial statements 2025
or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis.
Financial instruments in level 2
Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted market prices included within level I. The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques that maximise the use of observable market input data available and rely only for insignificant input on entity specific estimates. Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments.
The fair value of the interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable yield curves at commonly quoted intervals, while considering the current creditworthiness of the counterparties.
The yield curve for all collateralised derivatives is based on the overnight index swap (OIS) rate (the vast majority of the Group’s derivatives are collateralised, and therefore the necessity for other observable market inputs such as CVA, DVA, FVA adjustments is negated).
The valuation methodology of the cross-currency swaps includes a liquidity premium (which swaps less liquid currencies into those that are considered more liquid in the market and vice versa).
The counterparty’s Probability of Default is estimated using market CDS spreads resulting in credit valuation adjustments.
The Group’s own creditworthiness and Probability of Default are estimated using input such as secondary spreads and cost of funding curve as well as information from counterparties resulting in a debit valuation adjustment.
Other techniques, such as discounted cash flow analysis based on observable interest rates or yield curves at commonly quoted intervals, are used to determine the fair value for the remaining financial instruments.
Financial instruments in level 3
This category includes financial instruments whose fair value is determined using a valuation technique for which a significant part of the inputs in terms of the overall valuation are not market observable. Unobservable in this context means that there is little or no current market data available from which to derive a price that an unrelated, informed buyer would purchase the asset or liability at.

For the financial assets and liabilities subject to enforceable master netting agreements or similar agreements above, each agreement between the Group and the counterparty allows for net settlement of the relevant financial assets and liabilities when both intend to settle on a net basis. In the absence of such an election, financial assets and liabilities will be settled on a gross basis, however, each party to the master netting agreement or similar agreement will have the option to settle all such amounts on a net basis in the event of default of the other party. As at December 31, 2025 there are no financial assets or liabilities subject to offsetting.
Transfer of (financial) assets
The group engaged in various securitisation transactions which were transferred to Ayvens as part of the sale of the subsidiaries, during 2024. As at December 31, 2025 there are no securitisation transactions, the same as at the end of 2024.

130 | Ayvens Bank N.V. company financial statements 2025
Note 1.General
For certain notes to the Company’s balance sheet, reference is made to the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
The Company’s financial statements are prepared pursuant to the provisions in Part 9, Book 2, of the Dutch Civil Code, by applying the accounting policies used in the consolidated financial statements under IFRSs pursuant to the provisions of Article 362 sub 8, Part 9, Book 2, of the Dutch Civil Code.
In accordance with Article 362 sub 8, Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code, the recognition and measurement principles applied in these company financial statements are the same as those applied in the consolidated financial statements; reference is made to Note 2 ‘Basis of preparation’ of the consolidated financial statements.
Under reference to Article 362 sub 8, Part 9, Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code, the investments accounted for using the equity method are also measured in accordance with IFRS as applied in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The sale of subsidiaries in 2025 were accounted based on fair value.
Investments in subsidiaries and in investments accounted for using the equity method
The investments in subsidiaries are accounted for in accordance with the net value of assets and liabilities, based upon accounting policies used in the consolidated financial statements. If the net asset value is negative, it will be stated at nil. If and insofar as the Group can be held fully or partially liable for the debts of the subsidiary, or has the firm intention of enabling the subsidiary to settle its debts, a provision is recognised for this.
The company applies RJ 100.107a, which implies that the expected credit losses on intercompany loans and receivables in the company financial statements are eliminated according to the Dutch accounting standards chapter 260 ‘De verwerking van resultaten op intercompany-transacties in de jaarrekening’.
Loans to and investments in notes issued by special purpose companies
Loans provided to special purpose companies and investments in notes issued by special purpose companies do not meet the condition in IFRS 9 that the cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest. As a consequence, these loans and investments are measured at fair value through profit or loss. The impact of the change in fair value measurement of these intercompany loans and investments in debt securities is adjusted in the investments in subsidiaries. The fair value changes are eliminated in accordance with RJ 100.107a.
131 | Ayvens Bank N.V. company financial statements 2025
Note 2.Net Interest income
Interest income decreased compared to the prior year, primarily reflecting lower average loans and balances with subsidiaries and related parties as well as reduced interest income from central banks.

Note 12.Investments accounted for using equity method
In December 2025, Ayvens Bank sold 4.55% of its shares in LeasePlan Arrendamento Mercantil S.A. to Ayvens Holding do Brasil Ltda. Following an amendment in LeasePlan Arrendamento Mercantil S.A.’s bylaws, Ayvens Bank lost control and no longer consolidates the entity. Following the disposal, the investment is accounted for as an equity-method investment. The transaction resulted in a gain of EUR 1.4 million, which has been recognized in Other Income (See note 7)
During April 2024, the company sold its investment in the joint venture in the United Arab Emirates to Ayvens for EUR 32.6 million. In the same period, the company transferred control over the entities held in both Brazil and Mexico because it sold one shareholding the control over the entities to Ayvens. The remainder of the shares are still held by the Company and therefore the entity is entitled to the majority of the result coming from these entities. The loss of control changed the manner in which the entities are reported from subsidiaries to investments accounted for using the equity method.

Basis for our opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Dutch law, including the Dutch Standards on Auditing. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the ‘Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements’ section of our report.
We are independent of Ayvens Bank N.V in accordance with the ‘Verordening inzake de onafhankelijkheid van accountants bij assurance-opdrachten’ (ViO, Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, a regulation with respect to independence) and other relevant independence regulations in the Netherlands. Furthermore, we have complied with the ‘Verordening gedrags- en beroepsregels accountants’ (VGBA, Dutch Code of Ethics).

The information in respect of going concern, fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations and the key audit matters was addressed in this context, and we do not provide a separate opinion or conclusion on these matters.
We believe the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key audit matter
Recoverability of group receivables
Materiality
Based on our professional judgement we determined the materiality for the financial statements as a whole at EUR 20 million (2024: 40 million). The materiality is determined with reference to Net Assets (1.15%).
We consider Net Assets as the most appropriate benchmark because the primary users of the financial statements are the regulators, who supervise Ayvens’ banking activities. Therefore, net assets is the most relevant metric, as it reflects the capital available to absorb losses arising from credit, market, liquidity, and operational risks. For the regulators, this metric is essential in assessing whether banks maintain sufficient capital to meet their obligations. Materiality decreased significantly compared to the prior year, primarily due to a reduction in Net Assets following the dividend distribution of EUR 2.9 billion in 2025.
We have also taken into account misstatements and/or possible misstatements that in our opinion are material for the users of the financial statements for qualitative reasons.
We agreed with the Supervisory Board that misstatements identified during our audit in excess of EUR 1 million (2024: EUR 2 million) would be reported to them, as well as smaller misstatements that in our view must be reported on qualitative grounds.
160 |
Scope of the group audit
Ayvens Bank N.V. is at the head of a group of components (hereafter “Group”). The financial information of this group is included in the financial statements of Ayvens Bank N.V.
We performed risk assessment procedures throughout our audit to determine which of the Group’s components are likely to include risks of material misstatement to the Group financial statements. To appropriately respond to those assessed risks, we planned and performed further audit procedures, either at component level or centrally. We identified 4 components associated with a risk of material misstatement. For 2 out of these 4 components we involved component auditors (only KPMG). We as group auditor audited the remaining components. We set component performance materiality levels considering the component’s size and risk profile.
We have performed substantive procedures for 98% of Group revenue and 99% of Group total assets. At group level, we assessed the aggregation risk in the remaining financial information and concluded that there is less than reasonable possibility of a material misstatement. In supervising and directing our component auditors, we:
Held risk assessment discussions with the component auditors to obtain their input to identify matters relevant to the group audit;
Issued group audit instructions to component auditors on the scope, nature and timing of their work, and received written communication about the results of the work they performed;
Held meetings with all component auditors in scope of our audit to discuss relevant developments, understand and evaluate their work; and
Inspected the work performed by component auditors and evaluated the appropriateness of audit procedures performed and conclusions drawn from the audit evidence obtained, and the relation between communicated findings and work performed. In our inspection we mainly focused on key audit matters, significant risks and key judgement areas.
We consider that the scope of our group audit forms an appropriate basis for our audit opinion. Through performing the procedures mentioned above we obtained sufficient and appropriate audit evidence about the Group’s financial information to provide an opinion on the financial statements as a whole.
The consolidation of the group, the disclosures in the financial statements and certain accounting topics that are performed at group level are audited by the group engagement team at the headquarters in Amsterdam. The items audited by the group audit team, include, but are not limited to, assessment of the use of the going concern assumption, the recoverability of group receivables and taxation for the Dutch fiscal unity.

Audit response to the risk of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations
In chapter ‘Risk Management’ of the annual report, the Managing Board describes its procedures in respect of the risk of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
As part of our audit, we have gained insights into the Company and its business environment and the Company’s risk management in relation to fraud and non-compliance. Our procedures included, among other things, assessing the Company’s code of conduct, whistleblowing procedures and its procedures to investigate indications of possible fraud and non-compliance. Furthermore, we performed relevant inquiries with management, those charged with governance and other relevant functions, such as Internal Audit, Legal Counsel and Compliance. As part of our audit procedures, we have also incorporated elements of unpredictability in our audit such as changing the high-risk criteria for testing journal entries as well as sending legal confirmation letters.
As a result from our risk assessment, we identified the following laws and regulations as those most likely to have a material effect on the financial statements in case of non-compliance:
EU legislation (CRR/CRD IV) - capital requirement Directive IV;
Act on Financial Supervision (‘Wft’);
Laws on Anti Money Laundering (‘Wwft’ and ‘Sanction regulations’) and Financial Economic Crime (‘FEC’); and
Data privacy regulation (GDPR).
162 |
We evaluated the fraud and non-compliance risk factors to consider whether those factors indicate a risk of material misstatement in the financial statements.
Our procedures did not result in the identification of a reportable risk of material misstatement in respect of non-compliance with laws and regulations.
Further, we assessed the presumed fraud risk on revenue recognition as not significant. The Bank’s primary source of income consists of interest income that is largely determined by contractually agreed interest rates, with no significant elements of estimation or management judgement. In addition, we did not identify an incentive nor pressure for the Management Board members to achieve certain results or specific income targets.
Based on the above and on the auditing standards, we identified the following fraud risk that is relevant to our audit, including the relevant presumed risk laid down in the auditing standards, and responded as follows:
Management override of controls (a presumed risk)
Risk:
Management is by definition in a unique position to perpetrate fraud because of their ability to manipulate accounting records and prepare fraudulent financial statements by overriding controls as part of the control framework that otherwise appear to be operating effectively, such as reporting fictitious journal entries. Although the level of risk of management override of controls may vary from entity to entity, the risk is presumed to be present at all entities, including Ayvens Bank N.V. A fraud risk is by nature considered a significant audit risk.
Responses:
We evaluated the design and the implementation of internal controls that mitigate fraud risks, such as processes related to journal entries.
As part of the fraud risk assessment, we performed a data analysis of the journal entries population to determine if high-risk criteria for testing applies and evaluated relevant estimates and judgments for bias by the Company’s management. Where we identified instances of unexpected journal entries or other risks through our data analysis, we performed additional audit procedures to address each identified risk, including testing of transactions back to source information.
We identified and selected journal entries and other adjustments made at the end of the reporting period for testing.
163 |
Our evaluation of procedures performed related to fraud did not result in an additional key audit matter. We communicated our risk assessment, audit responses and results to management and the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board. Our audit procedures did not reveal indications and/or reasonable suspicion of fraud and non-compliance that are considered material for our audit.
Audit response to going concern
As disclosed in the section ‘Going concern’ in the notes to the consolidated financial statements on page 32, management has performed its going concern assessment and has not identified any going concern risks. To assess the Managing Board’s assessment, we have performed, inter alia, the following procedures:
we considered whether the Managing Board’s assessment of the going concern risks includes all relevant information of which we are aware as a result of our audit;
we considered whether the entity’s funding structure, whereby Ayvens Bank N.V. obtains its funding primarily through retail deposits, which are predominantly contractually shortterm, and through issued debt securities that mainly mature within 12 months, indicate a going concern risk; and
we analysed the Company’s financial position as at year-end and compared it to the previous financial year in terms of indicators that could identify significant going concern risks.
The outcome of our risk assessment procedures on the going concern assessment, including our consideration of findings from our audit procedures on other areas, did not give reason to perform additional audit procedures on management’s going concern assessment.
Our key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements. We have communicated the key audit matters to the Supervisory Board. The key audit matters are not a comprehensive reflection of all matters discussed.
Compared to the prior year, the key audit matter relating to significant unusual transactions arising from the sale of subsidiaries has been removed. In 2024, Ayvens Bank N.V. sold nearly all of its subsidiaries to Ayvens Group under common control. As these sales were not part of the normal course of business, involved related parties, and required complex accounting judgements, they were identified as a significant risk in the prioryear audit. For the audit of 2025, this risk is no longer considered significant, as the restructuring was substantially completed in 2024.

Recoverability of group receivables
DescriptionThe statutory financial statements of Ayvens Bank N.V. include a loan receivable from group companies amounting to EUR 17.3 billion. This receivable is due from Axus Luxembourg S.A. The key audit matter relates to the recoverability of this loan receivable, given the significance of the balance, as well as the potential implications for the liquidity position of Ayvens Bank N.V.
Our responseWe inspected the loan agreements and assessed the risks for the liquidity ofAyvens Bank N.V.Performed test of details on the year-end balances to determine the existence, accuracy and valuation.Performed confirmation procedures on the year-end balances.Assessed the recoverability of the loan receivable position by assessing the financial results of the group entities with whom the loan receivable position exists.Assessed the governance at the group companies ensuring timely repayment of receivables if needed.We evaluated the financial position of Axus Luxembourg S.A., the counterparty to the loan receivable. As part of this evaluation, we assessed whether the going-concern assumption is appropriate and whether any events or conditions exist that may cast significant doubt on the counterparty’s ability to continue as a going concern.Involved a legal specialist to assess the contracts from a legal perspective in the prior year and confirmed there were no changes.
Our observationBased on the procedures performed we concur with management’s assessment of the recoverability of the loan receivable as disclosed in the concentration risk part of the risk management chapter.

Description of responsibilities regarding the financial statements
Responsibilities of Managing Board and the Supervisory Board for the financial statements
The Managing Board is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with EU-IFRS and Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code.

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objective is to plan and perform the audit engagement in a manner that allows us to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence for our opinion.
Our audit has been performed with a high, but not absolute, level of assurance, which means we may not detect all material errors and fraud during our audit.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. The materiality affects the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and the evaluation of the effect of identified misstatements on our opinion.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located at the website of de ‘Koninklijke Nederlandse Beroepsorganisatie van Accountants’ (NBA, Royal Netherlands Institute of Chartered Accountants) at www.nba.nl/eng_oob_20251203. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
