Notes to the financial statements
The Croatian economy remained resilient despite elevated uncertainty arising from persistent and evolving geopolitical and trade tensions. GDP growth and favourable labour market conditions continued to support economic activity.
Business growth continued, driven by lending activities within a prudent risk framework. Zagrebačka banka Group continues to demonstrate the capabilities, capacity and expertise required to execute the largest and most complex transactions, while at the same time remaining firmly focused on each individual client, retail customers, sole proprietors and small businesses, through tailored solutions aligned with their needs and ambitions.
This balanced business model enables sustainable growth while reinforcing trust, long-term partnerships, and value creation for the broader economy and the communities we serve.
Growth is further supported by our specialised mortgage sales force, enabling the effective capture of refinancing and switching opportunities, while strong client retention was driven by smart combination of digital and physical channels and favourable demand dynamics on the market.
We remain focused on delivering client-driven, profitable growth while maintaining a disciplined risk appetite, and we have successfully achieved both. This is supported by prudent capital deployment, a stable and diversified funding base anchored in customer deposits, structural cost efficiency, and our leading distribution network and technology platform.
Major contributors to Group result are Zagrebačka banka dd, UniCredit Bank dd Mostar and UniCredit
Leasing Croatia doo.

Operating income amounted to EUR 269 million, increased by EUR 6 million (+2.3%) Y/Y:

The adverse macroeconomic impact was largely offset by strong commercial activity, particularly continued momentum in lending growth.

Through this growth, we actively contribute to economic and market development while consistently maintaining a strong focus on high levels of client satisfaction.

Significant events and transactionsGeopolitical tensions and market uncertainties
At the end of March 2026, geopolitical tensions did not have a significant direct impact on the Group's and Bank's assets. Our operations remain indirectly affected, as the overall macro-economic scenario evolves. The market environment continues to be uncertain.
The impacts of uncertainties continue to evolve as of the date of this report. As such, it is fluctuant as to the full magnitude that they will have on the macro-economic scenario and consequentially on the Group's and Bank's future financial condition and results of operations.
The Bank continues to support our clients, while it adequately assesses their creditworthiness, carefully considering the risk classification as well as the related impact on financial reporting.
While having a strong capital and liquidity position, as well as the assets covered by prudent loan provisions, the Bank is actively monitoring the situation and assessing its impact on operations, financial performance, capital position and cash-flows.

-
Basis of preparation
Interim financial statements for the first three months ended 31 March 2026 have been prepared by considering the IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting requirements and should be read in conjunction with the last annual financial statements2. Interim financial statements do not include all the information required for a complete set of financial statements, however, selected explanatory notes are included.
The financial statements framework applied is in accordance with International Financial Reporting
standards as adopted in the EU ("the IFRS").
-
Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies applied in these financial statements are substantially consistent as those applied in the last audited annual financial statements. Certain new accounting standards and interpretations are effective from 1 January 2026, but they do not have a material effect on the financial statements.
-
Use of judgements and estimates
In preparing these financial statements, the management has made judgements and used estimates that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The current market environment as well as the geopolitical tensions constitute significant events and sources of uncertainty which require management to apply judgements and estimates in assessing the impacts on the financial position and performance. The related assumptions and estimates are regularly reassessed and are based on events that can be rationally assumed in the existing circumstances.
Besides the abovementioned, the significant judgements made by the management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the annual financial statements.
2 Last annual Groups', Banks' and subsidiaries' financial statements are publicly disclosed and available in accordance with legal and accounting requirements.

Risk management
The major risks to which the Group is exposed are:
credit risk,
liquidity risk,
market risks and
operational risk.
Information on the nature of the Group's exposure to risks, as well as on the methods used by the management to identify, measure and manage risks are in more details disclosed in the latest annual financial statements.
Stress tests and multiple scenarios sensitivity analyses are performed. They are calibrated based on reasonable and realistic estimates and assumptions. Results confirm that the Group has a strong capital and liquidity positions, which are also in stressed conditions above the regulatory and internal thresholds.
- Measurement of fair values
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),
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred. More information about the assumptions applied in measuring fair values is disclosed in the last annual financial statements.
