The public deficit totaled 7.65% of GDP in 2025, below the Government's target of 8.4% of GDP. The lower level compared to the target was due to the revenue consolidation and a reduction in expenditures.
The fiscal-budgetary measures already approved for 2025 are intended to support this year's deficit target, which is expected to be around 6% of GDP, according to the latest statements from the Ministry of Finance. For the moment, the European Commission's forecasts for 2026 place the budget deficit at 6.2% of GDP. The consistent implementation of these measures could strengthen the fiscal adjustment process and contribute to stabilizing expectations regarding the dynamics of public debt. In this context, a more predictable fiscal trajectory could improve the country's credit risk and support the stabilization of financing costs, with a favorable effect on the financial environment as a whole. For the banking sector, a more stable macroeconomic framework could create the conditions for balanced credit growth, especially in sectors with strong fundamentals, while maintaining a prudent approach to risk management and portfolio quality.

On December 31, 2025, Patria Bank ended the financial year with a net profit of RON 50.2 million, up 53% compared to the previous year, confirming the efficiency of the development and consolidation strategy implemented in recent years. The result achieved reflects the improvement of commercial and financial performance, as well as prudent risk management, in a context marked by the intensification of fiscal pressures, generated by the increase in turnover tax from 2% to 4% starting with July 1, 2025, with an additional impact of RON 4.6 million in the second semester.
If the Turnover tax from the years 2025 and 2024 were not taken into account, the profit recorded by the Bank would have been RON 63.7 million and respectively of RON 40.3 million, an increase of 58% compared to 2024.
During 2025, the Bank demonstrated a solid capacity for adaptation and sustainable growth, through an integrated approach oriented towards revenue growth, balance sheet expansion and rigorous cost control. The favorable revenue dynamics, correlated with the expansion of interest yield-generating assets, allowed the absorption of additional costs and supported the improvement of profitability, reflected in the increase in profitability indicators and operating result, the latter registering an advance of approximately 47% compared to 2024.
The operational efficiency was reflected in the significant reduction of the cost/income ratio, as well as in maintaining the net cost of risk at a stable level, amid the improvement of the quality of the loan portfolio. The decrease of the weight of the non-performing exposures confirms the solidity of the risk management framework and the sustainability of the business model.
The main financial milestones achieved as of December 31, 2025 are presented below:
Balance sheet expansion: Total assets increased by 18% compared to the previous year, exceeding the threshold of RON 5 billion, an evolution supported by the growth of the performing
loan portfolio (+18%) and additional investments in the Government Bonds portfolio, oriented towards optimizing returns.
Improved profitability: Return on equity (RoE) reached 10.9%, compared to 7.9% in the previous year, reflecting a more efficient use of capital and Return on assets (RoA) increased to 1.0%, compared to 0.8% in 2024.
Income increase: Net banking income recorded an 18% increase compared to 2024, supported by the expansion of the loan portfolio, the diversification of products and services, as well as the intensification of customer transactional activity.
Cost discipline: Operating expenses grew at a lower rate than inflation, despite the doubling in the second semester of the turnover tax, contributing to improved operational efficiency.
Optimal balance sheet structure: The gross loans/deposits ratio reached 71%, compared to 67% at the end of 2024, indicating a more efficient use of attracted resources and maintaining a comfortable liquidity position.
Lending growth: Loans and advances granted to customers increased by 18% compared to 2024, as a result of organic expansion, which remains a priority strategic direction for the bank. ⎫
Liquidity management: Investments in debt securities increased by 11% compared to the previous year, by temporarily placing excess liquidity at competitive yields, depending on capital market conditions.
Asset quality: The strategy to reduce non-performing exposures continued in 2025, with the non-performing exposures (NPE) ratio decreasing from 4.07% to 3.56%. The coverage ratio of non-performing loans with impairment adjustments remained at a solid level of 56%, supported by preventive measures, intensified collection processes and write-off operations.
Capital adequacy: The Bank maintained a robust capital base, with the Total Own Funds Ratio standing at 21.11%, a level that includes only the interim profit as of June 30, 2025 and the impact of the share buyback operations totaling RON 15 million, carried out during the year. The profit related to the second half of 2025 is to be included in the own funds after the audit process is completed.

As of December 31, 2025, Patria Bank reported total assets of RON 5,299.8 million, up 18% compared to December 31, 2024 (RON 4,486.2 million), an evolution supported by the solid dynamics of lending and the increase in investments in low-risk instruments. The increase in the balance sheet confirms the continuation of the strategy of expanding income-generating assets, while maintaining a comfortable liquidity position.
Asset structure and main growth factors - The main contribution to the increase in assets came from loans and advances granted to customers, net, which rose to RON 2,787.1 million (+18% compared to RON 2,367.4 million). In gross terms, the loan portfolio reached RON 2,914.2 million, up 17% (RON
+433.3 million), with a pronounced dynamic in the SME, Corporate and Agro segments. In the portfolio structure, performing loans increased to RON 2,788.6 million (+18%), while non-performing loans registered a moderate increase to RON 125.6 million (+9%). Against the background of this evolution, the non-performing exposures (NPE) rate improved, decreasing from 4.07% to 3.56% at the end of 2025.
At the same time, the Bank consolidated its investment component, debt securities and equity instruments reaching RON 1,410.3 million, up 11% compared to 2024, as a result of the placement of excess liquidity at competitive yields, in line with market conditions. The liquidity position remained robust, reflected by the increase in cash and cash equivalents at the National Bank to RON 789.3 million (+51%). Other assets decreased to RON 251.6 million (-6%), while placements with banks remained stable (RON 19.2 million).
From the perspective of credit risk adjustments, provisions rose to RON 127.1 million (+12%), with increases on both performing loans (+18%) and non-performing loans (+7%), maintaining an adequate level of prudence. The coverage ratio of non-performing loans through impairment adjustments stood at 56%, supporting the stability of the risk profile.
Financing, liquidity and diversification of sources - On the liabilities side, total liabilities increased to RON 4,810.2 million (+18%), mainly as a result of the increase in resources attracted from customers and the diversification of financing. Customer liabilities (deposits) reached RON 4,099.0 million, up 11%, respectively RON +396.8 million compared to December 31, 2024. The financing strategy aimed to calibrate the cost of resources and manage liquidity at optimal levels, through a more selective approach for high-value and high-cost deposits, orienting the deposit base towards shorter maturities and contributing to reducing the cost of financing both in lei and in foreign currency. In parallel, the bank continued to develop collateral deposits, with lower volatility and competitive cost, in correlation with lending and trade finance activity.
Interbank funding (bank deposits & REPO) increased to RON 453.0 million (+220%), reflecting both the expansion of assets and the funding mix adapted to market conditions in terms of duration, currency and cost. In addition, subordinated debt rose to RON 102.7 million (+73%), consolidating the longer-term funding structure and debt securities issued remained relatively stable (RON 67.6 million, +3%).
Capitalization and capital adequacy - Equity increased to RON 489.6 million (+15%), mainly supported by the profitability of 2025 and the positive evolution of the revaluation reserves related to the government securities portfolio. At the same time, the evolution of equity incorporated the impact of partial share buyback operations, totaling RON 15 million (RON 6 million and RON 9 million), carried out within the exercise of the right of withdrawal by shareholders related to the merger between Banca Comerciala Carpatica and the former Patria Bank.
At individual level, the Total Equity Ratio stood at 21.11%, above the regulatory limit and above the level recorded in 2024 (20.32%), as a result of the increase in equity at a higher rate than the increase in risk-weighted assets, in the context of the development of lending. At the consolidated level, the rate stands at 20.86%, also remaining above regulatory requirements. Both at the individual and consolidated levels, the rate includes profits reported as of 30.06.2025, and the bank applies the inclusion of the temporary treatment provided for in Article 468 of Regulation (EU) No. 575/2013. Given the inclusion in own funds
of the profit recorded at individual and consolidated levels, which are currently under audit, the Own Funds Ratio at individual level is 22.27% and respectively 22.00% at consolidated level.

Net banking income recorded an increase of 18% compared to the same period of 2024, an evolution mainly supported by the advance of net interest income (+16%), which represented the main growth driver. Income from financial activity (+38%) and, to a lesser extent, net commission income (+6%) contributed to this dynamic, reflecting a balanced mix of income sources and the consolidation of the Bank's capacity to generate recurring results based on the diversification of the product and service portfolio.
Net interest income increased by 16% in 2025 compared to 2024, driven by higher revenues from loans and debt instruments.
Interest expenses also increased, albeit at a slower pace than revenues, which supported the improvement in net interest income.
Operational expenses recorded an increase of 8% (RON +13.5 million), compared to the same period of the previous year, of which RON 4.6 million represents the increase in turnover tax from 2% to 4% for the second semester. Staff expenses show also an increase, being especially influenced by the development of the Bank's activity and the performance based rewarding system. Another increase is driven by operational and administrative costs as a result of investments in IT and cybersecurity systems as well as in marketing campaigns.
The net cost of risk follows a prudent evolution. The Bank records net impairment adjustments worth RON 11.9 million in 2025, similar with the level recorded in the previous year, the main cause being the
quality of the loan portfolio and the very good results of the collection and recovery actions carried out during 2025. Thus, compared to December 31, 2024, the non-performing loans ratio (NPL ratio) decreased from 4.07% to the level of 3.56% recorded in December 31, 2025. The Bank constantly monitors the loan portfolio for adequate credit risk management, taking into account the uncertainties that arise in the market. In 2025, the Bank carried out write-off operations worth RON 13 million in line with the strategy of reducing the stock of non-performing loans.
The taxation level reported by the Bank as of December 31 2025, calculated by considering the combined impact of the corporate income tax and the turnover tax, results in an effective tax rate of 35%, significantly greater than the level of taxation of developed Western European countries such as Italy, France, the Netherlands, and Spain.
The Bank recorded a positive operational result for 2025 of RON 76.4 million and a net profit of RON
50.2 million, up by 53% compared to the level recorded in December 2024. If the Turnover tax in 2025 and 2024 were not taken into account, the profit recorded by the Bank would have been RON 63.7 million, an increase of 58% compared to 2024.
The Bank's net result continued the sustained growth recorded in the previous quarters of 2025. After a level of RON 10 million in Q1 2025, RON 15.7 million in Q2 2025 and RON 10.5 million in Q3 2025, the Bank recorded a profit of RON 13.9 million in Q4, surpassing the profit recorded in Q4 2024. This dynamic puts the Bank on a clear upward trajectory resulting in a net profit in 2025 with 53% above the profit recorded in 2024.

Commercial activityBanking activity for legal entities
In 2025, Patria Bank strengthened its commercial activity, with a strategic focus on the SME, Micro, Corporate, and Agro&Food segments, through dedicated solutions and initiatives in sustainability and green financing.
The MICRO segment benefited from fast and accessible products for entrepreneurs, with financing for working capital, factoring, and investments, including projects funded by European funds. The bank focused on flexibility and personalized consultancy, adapting processes and products to the specifics of various types of legal entities, ensuring a quality and impactful process at the individual, business, and community levels. Traditional segments were serviced (very small non-agricultural businesses and small agricultural businesses, with a strong presence in rural and small urban areas) as well as the small business segment, with a slightly more complex business structure.
In the SME sector, Patria Bank continued to play an active role in financing the real economy, supporting entrepreneurs through flexible credit products and strategic partnerships. The SME loan portfolio experienced accelerated growth as a result of both positive credit demand dynamics and an enhanced commercial execution capacity.
Performance is supported by the expansion of the Competitiveness Loan program in partnership with the European Investment Fund, as well as the development of dedicated operational flows for the SME segment, with improved response times and optimized processes. There was solid growth in investment and working capital financing, with a focus on sectors with a high contribution to the economy: production, trade and real estate.
In the CORPORATE segment, Patria Bank continued to support large companies through structured and tailored to the specific needs of strategic projects solutions. The increase of the Corporate portfolio reflects a consistent acceleration of commercial activity and a strong investment appetite.
Patria Bank strengthened its relationships with corporate companies through advisory approaches and financial structures tailored to the needs of its clients. Financing focused on sectors such as green energy, manufacturing, real estate, infrastructure, tourism, transportation and services. The bank offered both long-term investment loans and short-term financing, such as factoring and credit lines, to ensure financial flexibility and expansion capacity.
In the AGRO&FOOD segment, Patria Bank expanded its financing solutions for the food industry sector in parallel with the classic investment loans for land acquisition, equipment and farm modernization, facilitating farmers' access to high-performance technology. Financing with European funds continued to be a priority. Despite the impact of the soil drought in previous years, as well as the lack of liquidity in the agricultural sector, the quality of the Agro portfolio remained solid, thanks to the experience and expertise gained by the bank in servicing clients in this sector starting from the analysis, approval, counseling and support measures.
Thus, Patria Bank confirmed during 2025 its role as a relevant financial partner for Romanian companies, strengthening its market position through flexible, sustainable solutions adapted to the specific needs of each sector.

The performing loan portfolio on the AGRO segment registered an accelerated growth throughout the analyzed period, from RON 195.7 million in 2023 to RON 404.5 million in 2025. The advance in 2025 compared to 2024, of 34%, confirms the consolidation of this segment as an important growth engine, supported by the high demand for financing and the strategic focus on agriculture.
The Micro segment had a more moderate evolution, showing an increase of 10% compared to the previous year. The balance at the end of the year is usually influenced by the seasonality of the activity on certain categories of clients, as well as by the collection of APIA subsidies, which predominated in the last quarter.
SME loans recorded a constant and sustained growth, from RON 532.4 million in 2023 to RON 801.4 million in 2025. The pace of +19% in 2025 confirms the role of this segment as a central pillar of the
portfolio, characterized by volume, diversification and stability. The positive evolution reflects both the attraction of new customers and the development of existing commercial relationships.
The Corporate segment had a robust evolution, the balance of performing loans increasing from RON
408.2 million in 2023 to RON 582.9 million in 2025. The 22% increase in 2025 compared to 2024 highlights the intensification of financing granted to large companies and complex projects, as well as the consolidation of the portfolio of strategic customers.

an improvement in the quality of the portfolio. The implementation of a fast analysis flow contributed to this growth, meeting the clients' requests for quick solutions and coverage of financing needs. The Bank also maintains its specific and differentiated approach in the area of very small non-agricultural businesses and small agricultural businesses, a strategic segment for microfinance, but it has also paid more attention to the small non-agricultural business segment, leveraging the growth of existing clients' businesses and the increased interest of new clients, thus capitalizing on the personalized and pragmatic approach specific to each business subsegment (very small/small, agro/non-agro).
In the AGRO&FOOD segment, sales in 2025 were 28% higher than in 2024, reaching RON 303 million. The bank continued its strategy of acquiring new clients through financing and refinancing of investments, both medium and long term. This strategy continues to be implemented, with a focus on financing land acquisitions, machinery, irrigation systems, storage spaces, as well as financing projects with European Funds. Since, in the Agro segment portfolio, the largest share is represented by financing crop cultivation, the Bank also has a strategy to diversify this segment. Regarding the structure of financing demand in 2025, there is a clear preference for working capital loans, at 70%, used both for establishing crops and for paying input suppliers. Investment and equipment loans accounted for 20% of the total, while financing for the implementation of projects with European funds represented 10%. Compared to the same period in 2024, the loan balance recorded a significant increase of 34%. Investment financing
slightly decreased, but there is a noticeable rise in the interest of medium and large farmers for projects carried out with European funds, especially in livestock farming, particularly in the pig and poultry sectors. Financing for the food industry segment accounted for 25% of total financing in 2025.
The Agro segment continued to be one of the strategic priority segments for lending activity. The significantly improved performances recorded in 2025 are, first of all, the result of the consolidation of Patria Bank's commercial team, the focus on increasing the profitability of existing clients but also on attracting new clients, as well as the improvement of internal processes.
Thus, the Agro&Food Department recorded a 34% increase in the loan portfolio in 2025 compared to the end of the previous year. The demand for financing from Romanian farmers in the analyzed period reflects a positive dynamic fueled by the working capital needs of farmers, as well as the growing interest in investments and projects with European funds.
In the SME & Corporate segment, 2025 was marked by the Bank's strengthened position as a strategic financial partner for projects with major economic impact. During this period, significant financings were successfully completed in key sectors such as HORECA, infrastructure, green energy, and commercial real estate, reflecting both companies' investment appetite and the bank's ability to structure flexible and competitive solutions.
Green energy remains a strategic priority for the economy and for the Bank, with a clear focus on the solar energy segment, where projects for production and energy efficiency were financed. These initiatives contribute to national goals for energy transition and emission reduction, while simultaneously strengthening the Bank's position in the sustainable financing segment.
In the infrastructure area, the Bank continued to provide non-cash facilities, supporting complex projects with a strategic role in regional economic development. These financings contribute to increasing companies' competitiveness and boosting public and private investments. The medium-term strategy remains focused on sectors with high growth potential and structural impact on the economy.

Commercial funding (current accounts & term deposits)
Commercial funding recorded an increase of 19% compared to 2024. The increase in collected sources was due to the positive evolution in the SME&Corporate area. The Bank's strategy was to increase competitiveness in terms of prices offered in the short-term maturity segment (1 - 3 months) considering the decreasing trend of interest rates. The Bank also obtained in the first 6 months of 2025 a significant reduction in the funding cost related to commercial sources, by reducing concentrations in the liquidity area and increasing current account turnover.

Patria Bank continued to actively promote products in the existing portfolio, while launching a mortgage loan product in Euro with a fixed interest rate for the first 5 years.
The Bank also continued to promote the shopping card and unsecured loans, both through territorial units and through the digital lending application on the Patria de Oriunde platform.
The volume of secured and unsecured loans granted by the Bank in 2025 amounted to RON 285 million, a significant increase compared to 2024.
Although secured loans still have a reduced value in total lending activity, with sales of RON 61 million lei in 2025 (of which RON 19 million in the Q4), there is a trend of increasing their sales compared to 2024, when sales of RON 29 million were recorded (representing an increase of 110%).
New volumes of unsecured loans remained predominant in 2025, with a contribution of RON 224 million, respectively 79% of the total volumes of new loans granted to the retail segment (of which, in Q4, unsecured loans worth RON 58 million were sold).
The Bank estimates an increase in the contribution of secured lending in the coming period, by actively promoting existing products, in lei and euros, both through its own sales force and through intermediary partners (brokers and lead providers). The penetration rate of loans sold with insurance in total loans reached 85%. In this context, it is also relevant that Patria Bank relaunched the personal needs loan product without guarantees in the amount of up to RON 250,000.
The Bank also continued to promote personal needs loans and credit cards purchased digitally on the Patria De Oriunde platform.
