5. Interest-bearing securities
This portfolio contains marketable bonds with fixed interest rates. Interest-bearing securities (credit quality of AA+ or higher) recognized at Amortized Cost are classified as Stage 1. An amount of €51k (2024: €60k) is calculated for the ECL as per December 31, 2025.
From 2024 FMO started to invest in interest-bearing securities measured at fair value through profit and loss. Interest rate swaps are entered into to manage the risk associated with the securities and these swaps are measured at fair value through profit and loss. Therefore, to eliminate a possible accounting mismatch, the interest-bearing securities are designated at fair value through profit and loss. The interest-bearing securities are initially measured at fair value and subsequent changes in fair value are recognized immediately in profit and loss. The maximum credit exposure of the securities is €134 million and the cumulative change in fair value for the period is a gain of €1 million. The notional value of the swaps is €130 million, and the cumulative change in fair value for the period is a loss of €1 million. The movements in fair value are attributable to market risk.

6. Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting
Use of derivatives and hedge accounting
Derivatives are held for both economic hedging purposes and for hedge accounting purposes. FMO uses derivatives for hedging purposes in the management of its asset and liability portfolios and structural risk positions. These risks are hedged with interest rate swaps, cross currency swaps and cross currency interest rate swaps. These instruments relate to a combination of highly liquid currencies and emerging market currencies. The objective of hedging is to enter into positions with an opposite risk profile to an identified exposure to reduce that exposure. The objective of FMO hedging activities is to optimize the overall cost to the bank of accessing debt capital markets and to mitigate the risk that would otherwise arise from structural imbalances in the duration and other profiles of its assets and liabilities. The accounting treatment of hedge transactions varies according to the nature of the instrument hedged and whether the hedge qualifies under the IFRS hedge accounting rules.
Derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting under IFRS are classified and accounted for in accordance with the nature of the instrument hedged and the type of IFRS hedge model that is applicable. FMO applies fair value hedge accounting to the funding portfolio with interest rate swaps as hedging instruments. To qualify for hedge accounting under IFRS, strict criteria must be met. Certain hedges that are economically effective from a risk management perspective do not qualify for hedge accounting under IFRS. The fair value changes of derivatives relating to such non-qualifying hedges are taken to the statement of profit or loss and recorded under the line results from financial transactions. If hedge accounting is applied under IFRS, it is possible that during the hedge a hedge relationship no longer qualifies for hedge accounting and hedge accounting cannot be continued, even if the hedge remains economically effective. As a result, the volatility arising from undertaking economic hedging in the statement of profit or loss may be higher than would be expected from an economic point of view. With respect to exchange rate and interest rate derivative contracts, the notional or contractual amount of these instruments is indicative of the nominal value of transactions outstanding at the statement of financial position date. However, they do not represent amounts at risk.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, FMO recognized a loss of €2.3 million for hedge ineffectiveness on the micro fair value hedges (2024: €7.3 million gain). The gain on the hedging instruments amounts to €82.6 million (2024: €48.7 million gain). The loss on hedged items attributable to the hedged risk amounts to €84.9 million (2024: €41.4 million loss). The result is mainly attributed to the mismatch in the valuation curves.
Micro fair value hedge accounting
FMO only applies a micro-hedging strategy, hence at hedge inception the test is conducted. FMO’s micro fair value hedges consist of interest rate swaps that are used to protect against changes in the fair value of fixed-rate instruments due to movements in market interest rates. Gains and losses on derivatives designated under fair value hedge accounting and hedged items are recognized in the statement of profit or loss.
Derivatives other than hedge accounting instruments
FMO uses various derivatives to hedge its assets and liabilities against interest rate risk and market risk. During the period, the derivatives position has increased slightly, which is related to newly entered positions (see tables below). Changes in curves and FX were the main drivers for the changes in fair value.
The following table summarizes the notional amounts and the fair values of derivatives. Some derivatives are held to reduce interest rate risks and currency risks but do not meet the specified criteria to apply hedge accounting for the reporting period. The table also includes derivatives related to the asset portfolio.

During 2025, ECL allowances reduced, which resulted in a net release to the profit and loss account. The reduction in ECL allowances is primarily the result of the reduction in the non-performing exposures, as also described in Credit risk section in the 'Risk Management' chapter.
The line item 'Other' mainly contains foreign exchange (FX) translation effects.
8. Impairment charges on financial assets, loan commitments and guarantees
FMO calculates ECL allowances for interest-bearing securities, loans to the private sector at AC (including off-balance loan commitments) and guarantees given to customers. The movement in ECL allowances for each of these items is presented in their relevant notes while the relates charges to the income statement are presented in the table below:

The table below shows a sample of values of the IMF GDP forecasts used in each of the economic scenarios for the ECL calculations for 2024 and 2025. The upside, base, and downside scenarios calculations are derived from a simulation of forward-looking macro-economic developments in each country to which FMO has an exposure.
A new version of the macro-economic scenarios model was implemented in autumn 2025 which aligned FMO with market practice in determining forward-looking adjustments and made use of empirically observed characterstics of FMO's portfolio. Macro-economic scenarios were updated following the publication of the new macro-economic outlook data by the IMF in October 2025. The total impact of model changes and updates to the scenarios using the latest data, caused new point-in-time adjustments to probability of defaults in the impairment model, leading to a decrease in combined Stage-1 and Stage-2 impairment charges.

The following table outlines the sensitivity of FMO's expected credit loss model to different parameters or inputs. The base case represents FMO's expected credit losses for the debt portfolio at amortized cost. Three assumptions are tested: changes in ratings across the portfolio, changes to the prepayment rate, and changes to the credit conversion factor. Changes in the underlying credit ratings of customers have the largest impact on model outcomes.

FMO’s attributable carrying amount is determined by both its ownership percentage and the applicable waterfall structure. Consequently, the carrying amount does not always equate the 10 percent ownership interest.
11. Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment (PP&E) includes tangible assets that are used by FMO. These assets include buildings, office equipment and vehicles that are rented by FMO from third parties. These leases have been recognized on the statement of financial position following the implementation of IFRS 16.
Furthermore, PP&E includes furniture owned by FMO and costs related to leasehold improvements.

Right-of-use assets consist of operational leases and include buildings, vehicles and office equipment.
On October 22th, 2025, FMO signed a new contract to extend the lease of its buildings until 2038. The modification resulted in a remeasurement of the lease liability and a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use asset. The revised lease liability increased by €18 million, and the right-of-use asset was adjusted by the same amount.
