Sampo Group’s results for January- September 2026 Q3/2026 • Like-for-like top-line growth of 6 per cent, driven by strong momentum in private and SME lines. • The underwriting result strengthened by 9 per cent on a currency adjusted basis to EUR 435 million, driven by top-line growth and a robust combined ratio of 82.6 per cent. • Operating EPS grew by 2 per cent to EUR 0.14, while the reported EPS came in at EUR 0.10, with adverse mark-to-market movements and the impairment on IT-related intangibles weighing on the result. ............................................................................................................................. “The third quarter of 2026 marked another period of durable and broad-based growth, underpinned by strengthened momentum in our three largest segments. At the same time, our margins remained at excellent levels, highlighting the quality of our growth.” Morten Thorsrud, CEO of Sampo Group ............................................................................................................................. Q1-Q3/2026 • Like-for-like top-line growth accelerated to 4 per cent, fuelled by broad-based and improved performance in the second and the third quarter. • The underwriting result increased by 7 per cent on a currency adjusted basis to EUR 1,221 million, and the combined ratio amounted to 83.3 per cent. • Operating EPS increased by 8 per cent to EUR 0.41, while the reported EPS was primarily affected by adverse market value movements. • Following the nine months’ performance, the insurance revenue outlook for 2026 has been adjusted to EUR 9.75-9.85 billion (from EUR 9.70-9.85 billion), and the underwriting result outlook has been raised to EUR 1,600-1,650 million (from EUR 1,550-1,625 million). • Solvency II coverage stood at 175 per cent, net of distribution accrual, and financial leverage amounted to 25.1 per cent.

Group CEO’s comment Sampo’s strong third-quarter performance demonstrates the strength of our operating model, diversified profile, and ability to deliver high-quality growth. With 6 per cent like-for- like growth and a strong combined ratio of 82.6 per cent, the underwriting result strengthened by 9 per cent on a currency adjusted basis to EUR 435 million. The third quarter of 2026 marked another period of durable and broad-based growth, underpinned by strengthened momentum in our three largest segments. At the same time, our margins remained at excellent levels, highlighting the quality of our growth. Our largest segment, Private Nordic, saw improved traction and reached 6 per cent like-for-like growth, which is impressive given that the prior year comparison period was a record quarter. This was supported by robust performance across all countries and product lines, with Norway and personal insurance continuing to stand out with 7 and 12 per cent growth, respectively. It was also encouraging to see that new car sales in Sweden are showing signs of improvement. While we are not the ones to predict how the sales will develop going forward, a sustained continuation of this trend would be positive for our growth trajectory, given our market-leading position. In Private UK, we continued to deliver double-digit live customer policy growth year-on-year, bringing us very close to two key milestones: 4 million motor policies and 1 million home policies. Since expanding into the UK in 2020, our policy count base has increased by 60 per cent. Importantly, this growth has been achieved while remaining fully aligned with our margin targets. This demonstrates both our disciplined underwriting and our ability to scale our business while maintaining consistent performance across cycles. In Nordic Commercial, the pick-up in activity seen in the second quarter continued into the third, driven by strong momentum in SME. This led to almost 7 per cent like-for-like growth for the segment in the third quarter, bringing the year-to-date growth rate to over 3 per cent. Meanwhile, in Nordic Industrial we remained disciplined and delivered strong margins amid a soft pricing cycle, particularly in the large property segment. This was supported by cost- efficiency improvements and a favourable large claims outcome. Following the strong delivery throughout the first nine months of the year, we have adjusted our outlook for 2026. We now expect to reach an insurance revenue of EUR 9.75-9.85 billion (previously 9.70-9.85) and to deliver an underwriting result of EUR 1,600-1,650 million (1,550-1,625) for the full year. Switching to the broader perspective, the P&C insurance sector is evolving and becoming increasingly digital to better meet changing customer needs. This is something we have been part of shaping for more than two decades with our consistent investments in product innovation, process optimisation, and digital distribution to drive better customer outcomes. Simultaneously, the fast development in advanced technology, particularly in cars, means that assessing and pricing risks and delivering repairs, will become more complex. As a result, although the distribution landscape will be impacted by AI in the future as consumer behaviours continue to evolve, the fundamentals of insurance are and will remain unchanged. Efficiency, sophisticated pricing, and strong claims management remain paramount. Cars need to be repaired, leaking pipes need to be fixed, and broken ankles need to be treated. Distribution and large parts of the customer journey continue to become more digital, but the most important part of the claims side from a customer’s point of view, the resolution of claims remains fundamentally physical. Interim Statement for January–September 2026 Group CEO’s comment 4

In addition, P&C insurance in the Nordics is increasingly becoming a service industry. Our customers appreciate the convenience that our products bring to their lives and the fact that when, not if, something happens, they can trust that we help a lot. In fact, we helped our customers a lot with 580,000 claims in the third quarter alone, meaning claims are often relatively small but frequent. Excelling in this area is what creates the greatest value for customers and separates high-quality insurers from the rest. With a robust Net Promoter Score ( NPS) of 60 on claims and the fact that the highest scores come from customers who just had a claim, I am proud of the work we do for our customers. This sustained focus on innovation and customer service alongside our diversified scale, extensive partnership networks, cost ratio advantage, superior underwriting strengths, and proprietary data are why I am confident that we are well-positioned to continue to navigate evolving trends successfully and leverage any potential AI deployment in distribution to continue to serve our customers how and where they want to be served. As we approach the end of our 2024-2026 strategy period, it is a good time to reflect on our past performance. While the previous strategy period was all about transformation into a pure-play P&C group and building a solid foundation, this period focused on delivering attractive and durable organic growth at high margins through sustained underwriting discipline. Since 2024, we have delivered 8 per cent top-line growth and 11 per cent underwriting result growth on average. As a result, we have achieved 9 per cent operating EPS growth on average, clearly exceeding the initial target of more than 7 per cent set at our Capital Markets Day in 2024. That said, I would like to highlight that this robust performance has not been driven by any specific decision during the strategy period. It is the result of our consistent investments in our operational capabilities, cost efficiency, and customer proposition over a much longer period. That is what has made Sampo the most resilient and modern P&C insurer in Northern Europe. I see us being well-positioned to continue building on this strong foundation and further leveraging our scale and operational pole positions in various areas to deliver superior value to our customers and, as a consequence, also substantial value to our shareholders. I am looking forward to presenting our ambitions for the next strategic period at our Investor Update on 17 November 2026.

Outlook Outlook for 2026 The first nine months of 2026 saw a favourable claims environment both in terms of severe weather and large claims. At the same time, Sampo continued to deliver robust, broad-based top-line growth. Taking these factors into consideration, Sampo has adjusted its outlook for 2026. • Group insurance revenue: EUR 9.75–9.85 billion (from EUR 9.70–9.85 billion), representing growth of 7–9 per cent year-on-year. • Group underwriting result: EUR 1,600–1,650 million (from EUR 1,550–1,625 million), representing growth of 8–11 per cent year-on-year. Any forecast of Sampo’s underwriting result is subject to estimates for weather claims, large claims, prior year development, and certain other items that may vary periodically and are out of Sampo’s control. This means that regular updates of the forecast are needed to reflect actual outcomes. Moderate deviations against normal and budgeted levels are typical on a quarterly basis, and Sampo intends to broadly reflect these in the outlook statement in its quarterly reports. In addition to the underwriting result, Sampo derives a material share of its earnings from returns on its investment portfolio and insurance finance income and expense, meaning changes in the outlook cannot be assumed to translate one-for-one into net profit. Sampo does not provide an outlook for its net financial result. The outlook for 2026 is consistent with Sampo’s 2024–2026 financial targets of delivering a combined ratio below 85 per cent annually and operating EPS growth of more than 9 per cent annually on average. The outlook is subject to uncertainty related to occurrence and estimation of the cost of P&C claims, foreign exchange rates, and competitive dynamics. Revenue forecasts, in particular, are subject to competitive conditions, which may change rapidly in some areas such as the UK motor insurance market. The revenue and underwriting profit figures in the outlook are based on currency exchange rates as of the latest reporting date. A full explanation of the alternative performance metrics used in the Outlook can be found in the section Calculation of key figures. The major risks and uncertainties for the Group in the near-term In its current day-to-day business activities Sampo Group is exposed to various risks and uncertainties, mainly through its major business units. Major risks affecting the Group companies’ profitability and its variation are market, credit, insurance, and operational risks. At the Group level, sources of risks are the same, although they are not directly additive due to the effects of diversification. Uncertainties in the form of major unforeseen events may have an immediate impact on the Group’s profitability. The identification of unforeseen events is easier than the estimation of their probabilities, timing, and potential outcomes. Macroeconomic and financial market developments affect Sampo Group primarily through the market risk exposures it carries via its insurance company investment portfolios and insurance liabilities. Over time, adverse macroeconomic effects could also have an impact on Sampo’s operational business, for example, by reducing economic growth or increasing claims costs. The global economy has held up remarkably well despite the war in the Middle East and continuing trade disputes, helped by high investments in artificial intelligence and adjustments in energy supply. However, growth in demand driven by the AI investment boom and a further escalation in conflicts could increase inflationary pressures. In addition to the direct effects of these factors, domestic price pressures may subsequently intensify through the labour markets via second-round effects. This in turn creates uncertainty on the future path for interest rates. At the same time, the enthusiasm for artificial intelligence has lifted equity market valuations. Any worsening of geopolitical tensions or weaker expected gains from new technologies may lead to both a significant slowdown in economic growth and a deterioration in the debt service capacity of businesses, households, and governments, raising the risk of abrupt asset repricing in financial markets. These developments are currently causing significant uncertainties in Interim Statement for January–September 2026 Outlook 6

economic and capital market development. Concurrently, rapidly evolving hybrid threats create new challenges for states and businesses. There are also a number of widely identified macroeconomic, political, and other sources of uncertainty which can, in various ways, affect the financial services industry in a negative manner. Sampo Group has limited direct exposure in the Persian Gulf. The biggest risk from the tensions in the Middle East to the Group relates to the second order capital markets and the macroeconomic effects outlined above. Other sources of uncertainty are unforeseen structural changes in the business environment and already identified trends and potential wide-impact events, sometimes driven also by regulatory uncertainty. These external drivers may have a long-term impact on how Sampo Group’s business will be conducted. Examples of identified trends are demographic changes, climate change, and technological developments in areas such as artificial intelligence and digitalisation including threats posed by cybercrime.

Third quarter 2026 in brief Improved growth momentum, particularly in Nordic SME lines, and strong underwriting margins across the segments drove 9 per cent increase in the underwriting result on a currency-adjusted basis. Operating EPS grew by 2 per cent as the increase in the underwriting result was largely offset by realised gains being lower than in the prior year comparison period. GWP, including brokerage income, increased by 5.9 per cent year-on-year on a like-for-like basis. On a reported basis, GWP increased by 7.0 per cent to EUR 2,373 million (2,218). Insurance revenue, including brokerage income, increased by 8.7 per cent to EUR 2,503 million (2,303). Private Nordic saw accelerating like-for-like top-line growth to 5.6 per cent from 4.8 per cent from the second quarter. This was driven by broad-based growth across all Nordic countries and continued momentum in key product lines, with personal insurance increasing by 12 per cent, private property by 6 per cent and motor by 3 per cent. A solid uptick in Nordic new car sales did not yet translate into meaningful tailwind during the period, reflecting a lag between sales and premiums. Private UK maintained positive momentum with 7.0 per cent top-line growth, driven by solid volume growth in carefully targeted segments. Live customer policies (LCP) increased to 4.9 million, up 13 per cent year-on-year and 3 per cent since the end of June. Combined ratio for Private UK remained within targeted range at 89.4 despite being affected by increase in subsidence and fire claims in home insurance due to dry and hot summer. In Nordic Commercial, top-line growth remained in the high single digits. Like-for-like GWP increased by 6.7 per cent, propelled by robust momentum in SME lines. The SME portfolio saw growth of 9 per cent, up from 5 per cent in the first half of 2026, driven by increased sales. Meanwhile, Nordic Industrial reported like-for-like GWP growth of 2.6 per cent in the quarter, supported by new project sales and continued momentum in personal insurance. At the same time, Nordic Industrial continued to deliver solid margins in a softer pricing cycle in the large property segment. Weather conditions in the Nordics were broadly benign during the third quarter, with no major weather-related events affecting results, supporting a favourable claims development. Meanwhile, large the large claims outcome came in better than budged, having a positive effect of 0.3 percentage points on the Nordic risk ratio. The large claims deviation includes claims of approximately EUR 15 million from the residential fire in Drammen, Norway in mid- July. At the same time, the underlying trend remained positive with a 0.3 percentage point year-on-year improvement in the Nordic underlying risk ratio, while the Nordic operating cost ratio improved by 0.1 percentage points. In the UK, underwriting margins continued to be affected by the softer pricing environment but remained in line with target levels. The underwriting result increased by 9 per cent on a currency adjusted basis and by 11 per cent on a reported basis to EUR 435 million (392), supported by top-line growth and a robust combined ratio of 82.6 per cent (83.0). Net financial result amounted to EUR 69 million (549) as net investment income was weighed down by adverse mark-to- market movements in the fixed income portfolio, reflecting a sharp rise in bond yields. Operating EPS grew by 2 per cent to EUR 0.14 (0.14) on the back of higher underwriting result and the positive impact from buybacks. This was partly offset by realised investment gains being lower than in the prior year comparison period. Reported EPS came in at EUR 0.10 (0.28), driven by adverse short-term mark-to-market movements in the investment portfolio and the impairment of EUR 118 million before tax on intangible assets related to IT systems in Denmark, including related VAT charges. The comparison figure included a net gain of EUR 355 million from the IPO of NOBA in September 2025. Interim Statement for January–September 2026 Third quarter 2026 in brief 9

Financial highlights for January– September 2026 Sampo Group continued to deliver solid financial results in January-September 2026, underpinned by positive growth momentum across private and SME lines and strong underwriting performance in a largely benign claims environment. The underwriting result increased by 7 per cent on a currency-adjusted basis, driving an operating EPS growth of 8 per cent. Gross written premiums (GWP), including brokerage income, increased by 4 per cent both on like-for-like and reported basis to EUR 8,803 million (8,461). Insurance revenue, including brokerage income, came in at EUR 7,303 million (6,755), representing 8 per cent growth. Top-line development continued to be driven by growth in private business lines in both the Nordics and the UK. Private Nordic delivered like-for-like GWP growth of 5.4 per cent, supported by strong new sales and high retention at the operational ambition level of 89 per cent, resulting in growth in both number of customers and insured objects. Personal insurance continued to stand out as the fastest growing product line, delivering GWP growth of 10 per cent on the back of strong structural demand for complementary health insurance. Private property grew by 5 per cent and motor by 4 per cent, while digital sales maintained strong momentum with double-digit growth. Private UK continued to capture growth opportunities across carefully selected motor and home segments, delivering like-for-like GWP growth of 5.3 per cent. This was driven by higher volumes across renewals and new business. During the first nine months of 2026, UK motor insurance prices were broadly stable, although the pricing environment remained on the softer side, and customer switching volumes continued to be low . Nordic Commercial reported like-for-like GWP growth of 3.1 per cent, supported by continued positive development in SME across all Nordic countries. In total, SME grew by 5 per cent in January-September, with accelerating momentum over the course of the period, driven by increasing sales and growing customer numbers. Price competition remained intense among larger corporate customers, affecting the operating environment in Nordic Industrial. The segment reported a like-for-like GWP decline of -0.4 per cent, reflecting soft pricing while volumes were broadly stable. The Group combined ratio improved and came in at 83.3 per cent (83.4), reflecting a slightly higher risk ratio of 58.2 per cent (57.9) and an improved cost ratio of 25.0 per cent (25.5). In the Nordics, weather conditions were broadly in line with seasonal norms, contributing to a still favourable but more typical claims environment, following particularly benign weather conditions in the prior-year period. In total, severe weather had a 0.4 percentage point negative effect on the Nordic risk ratio, whereas the comparison period saw a positive effect of 0.3 percentage points. Large claims came in better than budget and had a positive effect of 0.8 percentage points, compared to a positive effect of 1.0 percentage points in the comparison period. Underlying trends remained positive with a 0.3 percentage point improvement in the Nordic underlying risk ratio. The Nordic operating cost ratio improved by 0.2 percentage points to 22.4 per cent, supported by continued efficiency gains despite investments in growth as well as digital development and AI capabilities which are expensed rather than capitalised. The Topdanmark integration is progressing well. By the end of September 2026, EUR 92 million of the targeted EUR 140 million in run-rate synergies for 2028 had been realised. The underwriting result increased by 9 per cent on a reported basis to EUR 1,221 million (1,121), driven by top-line growth, strong underwriting margins and positive underlying trends. On a currency-adjusted basis, growth was 7 per cent. Following the nine months performance, the insurance revenue outlook for 2026 has been adjusted to EUR 9.75-9.85 billion (from EUR 9.70-9.85 billion), and the underwriting result outlook has been raised to EUR 1,600-1,650 million (from EUR 1,550-1,625 million). Interim Statement for January–September 2026 Financial highlights 10
Page 11
The net financial result declined to EUR 14 million (836), driven by net investment income decreasing to EUR 21 million (927) as the interest and dividend income was largely offset by adverse mark-to-market movements in the Group’s fixed income portfolio and legacy investments in NOBA and Nexi. The insurance finance income or expense was EUR -7 million (-91). Operating EPS strengthened by 8 per cent to EUR 0.41 (0.38), supported by higher underwriting result. The reported EPS declined to EUR 0.26 (0.54) affected by adverse marked value movements and the EUR 118 million before tax impairment loss related to IT systems in Denmark, including related VAT charges, which was excluded from operating EPS. The Group Solvency II coverage, net of distribution accrual, stood at 175 per cent at the end of September 2026, slightly up from 174 per cent at the end of the second quarter. The financial leverage amounted to 25.1 per cent, down from 25.9 per cent at the end of the second quarter. Sampo targets a solvency ratio of 150–190 per cent and a financial leverage of below 30 per cent. Interim Statement for January–September 2026 Financial highlights 11

Growth was supported by higher object sales and an increase in customer numbers, while retention remained stable. By product line, the positive GWP development was supported by solid performance across key target areas, with personal insurance growing by 10 per cent, private property by 5 per cent, and motor by 4 per cent. All Nordic countries reported positive GWP growth during the period with Norway continuing to stand out, delivering GWP growth of 10 per cent. Nordic new car sales increased by 6 per cent during the first nine months of 2026. In Sweden, where Sampo has material exposure, growth in new car sales was 4 per cent. Momentum in Private Nordic digital sales remained strong with a 12 per cent increase in the first nine months of 2026. The retention rate stood at the operational ambition level of 89 per cent, supporting growth in the customer base. In the third quarter, Private Nordic reported like-for-like GWP growth of 5.6 per cent, driven by broad-based growth across all Nordic countries and strong momentum in the main product lines. Underwriting performance The underwriting result for Private Nordic increased by 13 per cent to EUR 602 million (533) in the first nine months of 2026, while the combined ratio improved to 81.3 per cent (82.0). The risk ratio improved to 59.9 per cent (60.7), supported by benign weather conditions and lower claims frequency. During January-September 2026, weather conditions were broadly in line with seasonal norms across the Nordic region. Despite the impact of Storm Dave in the second quarter, overall claims development remained favourable during the period, with no major weather-related events affecting results in the third quarter.

In mid-July, a residential fire in Drammen, Norway, resulted in claims of EUR 15 million. Overall, the third quarter benefitted from lower claims frequency, partly reflecting changes in driving patterns following a period of elevated fuel prices. The cost ratio remained stable at 21.4 per cent (21.3) in the first nine months of 2026. It remains on track to support the targeted efficiency improvements at the Nordic level for the year, while allowing for continued investments in growth and to maintain momentum in digital development and AI capabilities. In the third quarter, the underwriting result for Private Nordic increased by 15 per cent to EUR 225 million (196). The combined ratio improved to 79.5 per cent (80.7), supported by a stronger risk ratio of 58.4 per cent (60.1), while the cost ratio was 21.1 per cent (20.6).

Premium development Private UK continued to deliver profitable growth, with gross written premiums and brokerage income increasing by 5.3 per cent on a like-for-like basis to EUR 2,328 million (2,243) for January-September 2026. The performance was driven by higher policy volumes, partly offset by lower average written premiums, reflecting pricing actions and product mix changes in a competitive market where prices remained broadly stable. Net insurance revenue, including brokerage income, increased for the nine-month period by 9 per cent to EUR 1,621 million (1,487), due to the earn-through of premiums from the increased policy count. In the third quarter of 2026, like-for-like topline growth came in at 7.0 per cent, driven by volume growth, while insurance revenue increased by 9 per cent to EUR 562 million (518). Live customer policies increased by 13 per cent year-on-year to 4.9 million, maintaining a double-digit growth rate in each quarter. Motor and home policies increased by 14 per cent and 9 per cent respectively compared with the same period last year. Growth was supported by both strong new business performance in carefully targeted segments and higher customer retention. Underwriting performance The underwriting result decreased by 3 per cent to EUR 170 million (175) during the first nine months of 2026. Growth in policy volumes continued to support the higher insurance revenue, partially offset by lower average premiums and increase in risk ratio as well as adverse FX movements.

Private UK maintained a cautious reserving approach. The cost ratio improved by 1.5 percentage points to 34.9 per cent (36.5), reflecting volume growth in earned premiums and continued operational efficiency. Continued investments in customer service infrastructure and digital capabilities supported the growing customer base while maintaining disciplined cost management and preserving customer satisfaction. In the third quarter of 2026, the underwriting result decreased by 5 per cent to EUR 59 million (63).

Premium development Nordic Commercial delivered like-for-like GWP growth of 3.1 per cent in the first nine months of 2026, supported by growth across all Nordic countries and lines of business. The favourable GWP development in Nordic Commercial was supported by continued strong momentum in SME, with growth of 5 per cent. Performance in SME was broad-based across all Nordic countries and supported by increased sales. The personal insurance portfolio grew by 4 per cent, reflecting positive contributions across the Nordic markets. During the period, the number of customers in Nordic Commercial increased, while the retention levels remained high and stable. Digital sales maintained positive momentum, growing by 13 per cent in January–September 2026. In the third quarter, like-for-like GWP growth reached 6.7 per cent. Growth was supported by solid performance across all countries, with particularly strong SME growth driven by increased sales. Underwriting performance In Nordic Commercial, the underwriting result increased by 7 per cent to EUR 298 million (279) in the first nine months of 2026. The combined ratio remained stable at 83.0 per cent (83.0), reflecting a risk ratio of 59.2 per cent (58.6) and an improved cost ratio of 23.8 per cent (24.3). During the first nine months of 2026, claims development was impacted by a higher level of large claims than in the prior-year period, as well as Storm Dave in the second quarter. However, large claims remained below budget both in the third quarter and on a year-to-date basis. This was partly offset by favourable underlying claims frequency development. In the third quarter, the underwriting result increased by 13 per cent to EUR 107 million (95). The combined ratio improved to 82.1 per cent (82.9), supported by a risk ratio of 58.7 per cent (58.9).

Meanwhile, insurance revenue increased by 10 per cent, supported by lower reinsurance prices. GWP volumes remained broadly stable amid continued soft market conditions. Repricing levels were largely unchanged overall, with some impact on retention. The development was supported by new sales, particularly in Denmark, as well as continued momentum in personal insurance. The project insurance business also developed favourably and was above the prior-year level. Nordic Industrial reported like-for-like GWP growth of 2.6 per cent in the third quarter. Underwriting performance The underwriting result for Nordic Industrial increased by 10 per cent to EUR 88 million (80) in the first nine months of 2026 and the combined ratio remained flat at 81.8 per cent (81.8). The risk ratio stood at 61.1 per cent (59.1), while the cost ratio improved to 20.7 per cent (22.7). Despite a very large property claim reported in the third quarter, the large claims outcome remained below budget both in the quarter and on a year-to-date basis. Overall claims frequency remained low during the first nine months of the year, supporting the underlying claims development. Favourable reinsurance renewals also had a positive impact on the result. In the third quarter, the underwriting result increased by 23 per cent to EUR 24 million (20). The combined ratio improved to 85.6 per cent (86.1), with a risk ratio of 66.0 per cent (62.5).

In total, net losses from fixed income portfolio were EUR -291 million (57) and from equities EUR -215 million (415). In the third quarter, NII amounted to EUR -63 million (554), driven by net losses of EUR -253 million (-15) in the fixed income portfolio. Meanwhile, the investment portfolio continued to deliver solid interest and dividend income, totalling to EUR 502 million (450) for the first nine months of 2026, including a dividend of EUR 18 million received from NOBA in the second quarter, which is excluded from the operating result. In the third quarter, the interest and dividend income amounted to EUR 170 million (144). The fixed income running yield stood at 4.0 per cent at the end of September 2026, up from 3.8 per cent at the end of June 2026. At the same period, the mark-to-market yield increased by 0.8 percentage points to 4.3 per cent, driven by higher interest rates. The Group’s investment portfolio amounted to EUR 18.4 billion at the end of September 2026. Of this, 89 per cent was allocated to fixed income, 10 per cent to equities, and 1 per cent to alternative investments. At the end of September, the Group’s holdings in its legacy amounted to EUR 388 million in NOBA and EUR 99 million in Nexi, compared with EUR 455 million and EUR 82 million at the end of June.

Insurance finance income or expense (IFIE) came in at EUR -7 million (-91) in the first nine months of 2026, driven by a positive effect of EUR 209 million (114) from changes in discount rates, while the unwind of discounting had an impact of EUR -216 million (-176). In the third quarter, IFIE amounted to EUR 132 million (-5), primarily supported by a positive effect of EUR 206 million (65) from changes in discount rates. Driven by adverse mark-to-market movements, the net financial result ended up being EUR 14 million (836) in January–September 2026.

Financial position Group solvency Sampo Group’s Solvency II ratio, net of distribution accrual, amounted to 175 per cent at the end of September 2026. The ratio increased slightly from 174 per cent at the end of June 2026, mainly driven by strong operating performance, partly offset by underwriting seasonality, reserve strengthening as well as some technical effects. The sale of NOBA shares had a positive effect of 2 percentage points on the solvency ratio. The Group’s Solvency II own funds remained largely unchanged at EUR 5,794 million, compared to EUR 5,790 million at the end of June 2026. At the same period, the solvency capital requirement decreased slightly to 3,314 million from 3,327 million. Sampo targets a Solvency II ratio of 150–190 per cent. Financial leverage position Sampo Group’s financial leverage is calculated as Group financial debt divided by the sum of IFRS shareholders’ equity and financial debt. The Group targets financial leverage of below 30 per cent. The Group’s shareholders’ equity (excluding Tier 1 instruments) amounted to EUR 7,205 million at the end of September 2026, up from EUR 6,904 million at the end of June, driven by retained earnings. The Group’s financial debt remained largely unchanged at EUR 2,413 million, compared with EUR 2,409 million at the end of June 2026. As a result, the financial leverage amounted to 25.1 per cent, down from 25.9 per cent at the end of the second quarter. The financial leverage figure includes restricted Tier 1 capital as debt.

Other developments Sale of NOBA shares Sampo announced on 22 September 2026 that it had sold approximately 14.7 million shares in NOBA to institutional investors through an accelerated bookbuilding process. The share sale generated approximately EUR 111 million in gross proceeds for Sampo. Following the transaction, Sampo holds around 50.1 million NOBA shares, corresponding to an ownership of 10.01 per cent of the company. Impairment loss on IT-related intangible assets in Denmark Sampo announced on 25 September 2026 that it will recognise an impairment loss and related VAT charges of approximately EUR 118 million before tax in the third quarter of 2026, following an impairment test on intangible assets related to IT systems in Denmark. The impairment test was conducted as the Topdanmark integration has progressed to a phase where the focus has been on finalising the core IT system harmonisation in Denmark. The non- cash loss is recognised in other expenses and excluded from operating EPS. Changes to operating result and operating EPS IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements , applicable from 1 January 2027 onward, introduces operating profit as a line item in the statement of profit or loss. To avoid ambiguity in terminology, Sampo’s operating result and operating EPS will be renamed core result and core EPS, respectively. At the same time, a few changes will be made to the calculation formula of these key figures. Interest expenses on restricted Tier 1 instruments, which is recognised in equity in the IFRS accounting, will be included in the core result, as they have cash effect. Secondly, derivatives related to hedging indexation of annuities and change in interest rates will be excluded for consistent treatment of mark-to-market effects. Further, the fixed tax rate used for the core result calculation will be increased to 22 per cent from the current 21 per cent to better reflect the actual average effective tax rate. Both the renaming and the changes in the calculation formula will be applied from the beginning of 2027. The changes will have no effect on full-year 2026 figures or the expected regular distributions for the fiscal year 2026. The comparable figures for the full-year and each quarter of 2026 will be published in connection with the full-year 2026 result in February.

Notes Accounting principles Sampo Group’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards adopted by the EU. The interim financial statements are not presented in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as Sampo applies the statutes of security markets act (1278/2015), regarding the regular disclosure requirements. The same accounting principles and methods of computation are applied in this financial statement release as were applied in Sampo’s consolidated financial statements 2025. The financial statements for 2025 are available on Sampo’s website www.sampo.com/year2025 . Information presented in the Interim Statement is unaudited. Application of new or revised IFRS Accounting Standards in issue but not yet effective IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements was published in April 2024, and it will take effect on 1 January 2027. IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements, carrying forward ma ny of the requirements in IAS 1 unchanged and complementing them with new requirements. Sampo has continued to analyse the effect of the new standard and continues with implementation work. As Sampo Group has primarily insurance operations, the Group is considered to have a main business activity of investing in assets. Income and expenses that otherwise would have been classified in the investing category will be presented in the operating category. There is no expected impact on the insurance service result, net profit for the year nor equity. As a consequence of the changed requirements for aggregation and disaggregation, some changes in the presentation of the primary financial statement s, as well as note disclosures, are expe cted. Based on the preliminary assessment, at least two management defined performance measures (MPMs) have been identified for Sampo Group : Underwriting result and Core result (previously labelled as Operating result). As IFRS 18 introduces a mandatory line item called ‘operating profit or loss’, Sampo has decided to rename operating result ‘core result’ and operating EPS ‘core EPS’. For further information on the core result, please see section Other developments. Interim Statement for January–September 2026 31

6 Insurance contract liabilities Insurance liabilities reflect the liability the Group has for its insurance undertakings, in other words, the insurance contracts underwritten. The liability consists of two parts, the liability for remaining coverage and acquisition cash flow assets as well as the liability for incurred claims. The liability for remaining coverage relates to the obligation to investigate and pay valid claims that have not yet occurred. The liability consists of the premium payments received for insurance services to be provided after the closing date, i.e. relating to the unexpired portion of the insurance coverage, and adjusted for acquisition cash flows. The liability for incurred claims relates to the obligation to investigate and pay valid claims that have occurred. The liability is designed to cover anticipated future payments for all claims incurred, including claims not yet reported.
