OMA SAVINGS BANK PLC, STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE, 15 JUNE 2025 AT 21:55 P.M. EET, INSIDE INFORMATION
Inside information, negative profit warning – Oma Savings Bank Plc lowers its earnings guidance for 2025
Oma Savings Bank Plc (OmaSp or Company) lowers its earnings guidance for 2025 as the company's cost level is expected to remain high throughout the 2025 financial year due to investments in risk management and quality processes, increased headcount, and efforts to address the findings of the Financial Supervisory Authority's inspection. In addition, the update to the ECL model implemented during the first quarter has increased the level of credit loss provisions more than anticipated. Furthermore, fee and commission income is expected to grow more slowly than anticipated in the prevailing economic environment. OmaSp estimates that the Group's comparable profit before taxes is EUR 50-65 million for the financial year 2025.
New business outlook and earnings guidance for 2025 are as follows (updated 15 June 2025):
The outlook for the Company's business for the financial year 2025 is affected by the decline in market interest rates and the continued high level of costs due to IT investments and system improvements required by risk management and quality processes. In addition, the Company continues to invest in customer experience on different channels. The uncertainty of the operating environment and economic situation affects the development of balance sheet items and comparable profit for the financial year 2025.
Oma Savings Bank Plc provides earnings guidance on comparable profit before taxes for 2025. Earnings guidance is based on the forecast for the entire year, which takes into account the current market and business situation. Forecasts are based on the management's insight into the Group's business development.
We estimate the Group's comparable profit before taxes to be EUR 50–65 million for the financial year 2025 (comparable profit before taxes was EUR 86.7 million in the financial year 2024).

This third phase of the buyback will be in the amount of up to USD 35 million. The third phase of the share buyback program is being launched after the successful completion of the second phase on May 21, 2025. Cumulatively, the two earlier phases of the program have resulted in the repurchase of 1.43 million ADSs at an average repurchase price of USD 45.59 per ADS. VEON had announced a share buyback program of up to USD 100 million on August 1, 2024. The Company continues to believe that its ADSs are undervalued relative to its operational performance and strategic potential. With the buyback program, VEON aims to optimize shareholder value and strengthen its financial position for future opportunities. The buybacks will be conducted on the open market pursuant to a 10b5-1 plan signed with a registered broker-dealer, and in compliance with Rule 10b-18. VEON is also considering options to raise external financing through a sub-benchmark private placement of bonds, with a tenor of up to approximately four years (the 'Notes'), with the goal of supporting the Company's strategic initiatives and enhancing its financial flexibility. The Notes, if issued, will be issued by VEON Midco B.V. and guaranteed by VEON Amsterdam B.V. This evaluation is a part of VEON's ongoing capital planning effort and discussions with potential institutional investors are in progress.
