Report of the Board of Directors Important events in the quarter SpareBank 1 Nord-Norge (SNN) delivered a strong result at the end of the third quarter of 2026 (3Q26), with a re- turn on equity of 16.0 per cent and a cost-income ratio of 33.1 per cent year to date. The result is largely attrib- utable to strong underlying banking operations and solid contributions from associated companies, as well as an increase in net commission and other operating income. Net interest income is marginally lower year to date compared with the same period last year, primarily due to the increase in NIBOR rates during the period. The performance of the investment in SpareBank 1 Hel- geland (SB1H) has reduced the result by NOK 104 million (including dividends) year to date. With effect from 01.09.26, however, SB1H is accounted for as an associat- ed company, and SNN therefore recognises its share of SB1H’s results on an ongoing basis, while changes in the value of the equity certificates will have no accounting effect. At the end of 30.09.2026, the holding is recog- nised at cost, amounting to NOK 1 173 million. At 3Q26, costs are NOK 3 million higher than at the same point in 2025. Approximately NOK 13 million of the costs at 3Q26 are non-recurring costs, compared with NOK 34 million in non-recurring costs at the same point in 2025. The Group is working systematically on cost control, and the number of full-time equivalents has been reduced by 51 in the Group and 21 in the parent bank compared with the same point last year. Due to lower underlying credit growth and a sound capital position in the banking sector, there is strong pricing pressure in both the Retail Market (RM) and the Corporate Market (CM). Nevertheless, the Group’s result remains strong due to solid underlying banking operations, strong growth and good contributions from the alliance companies. Total lending growth in the quarter (annualised) was 11.8 per cent, indicating that the Group is gaining market share. A return on equity of 16.0 per cent and a cost-income ratio of 32.1 per cent in 3Q alone are well within the Group’s targets. Over the past 12 months, SNN has delivered lending growth of 8.2 per cent in RM. Lending growth in CM was 10.0 per cent over the same period. Underlying credit growth in CM has been moderate for some time, but lending growth picked up after the summer and was as high as 19.4 per cent annualised in 3Q alone. This was despite low levels of residential construction and general uncertainty regarding economic developments. The strong lending growth in CM is probably related to the fact that the underlying economic situation for large parts of the region’s business sector is considered sound. The Group is gaining market share across all product areas, demonstrating a high degree of com- petitiveness. The Group has recognised total losses of NOK 101 million as at 30.09.26. This is somewhat higher than at the same point last year, but remains well within normal- ised loss levels. The increase in losses in 3Q is primarily Results and key figures Amounts in NOK million 3Q26 3Q25 Change 30/09/26 30/09/25 Change Result after tax 812 903 -91 2 378 2 665 -287 Result per Equity Certificate 3,57 3,99 -0,42 10,44 11,77 -1,33 Return on equity 16,0 % 19,1 % −3,1 % 16,0 % 19,0 % −2,9 % Cost/income 32,1 % 31,1 % 1,0 % 33,1 % 31,5 % 1,6 % Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio 17,0 % 16,2 % 0,8 % 17,0 % 16,2 % 0,8 % Growth loans RM 8,0 % 12,1 % −4,1 % 8,2 % 9,0 % −0,9 % Growth loans CM 19,4 % 3,6 % 15,8 % 10,0 % 1,4 % 8,6 % Total growth loans 11,8 % 9,2 % 2,6 % 8,8 % 6,3 % 2,4 % Growth deposits RM −10,7 % −5,7 % −5,0 % 6,2 % 7,5 % −1,3 % Growth deposits CM −4,3 % −15,9 % 11,6 % 8,2 % 6,7 % 1,5 % Total growth deposits −7,7 % −10,5 % 2,9 % 7,1 % 7,1 % 0,0 % Results from ownership interests 162 189 -27 529 420 109 Results from other financial assets 12 54 -42 -26 339 -365 Losses 62 -4 66 101 23 78 3.

attributable to higher model-based provisions due to lending growth in CM, as well as some negative migra- tion in individual exposures, primarily within property development. Losses nevertheless remain at histori- cally low levels. The Group is working systematically to reduce risk in the lending portfolio. The Group’s lending portfolio is considered sound, and the vast majority of customers appear to be managing the macroeconomic challenges well. The construction industry continues to experience the most challenging economic conditions. The Group has therefore taken measures and reduced land values for some larger de- velopment projects, which is one of the reasons for the negative migration and higher loss provisions in 3Q. Macroeconomic trends Global economy – Energy prices and long-term interest rates shaped the quarter The third quarter of 2026 continued to be characterised by the conflict between Iran and the US and uncertain- ty surrounding energy supplies through the Strait of Hormuz. Oil prices fluctuated significantly during the quarter. These developments helped keep inflation and interest rate expectations elevated, while changing signals regarding negotiations led to significant move- ments in financial markets. Throughout the quarter, the US Federal Reserve faced a difficult balancing act between a more uncertain growth outlook and renewed inflationary pressures from ener- gy prices, combined with financial conditions that re- mained relatively accommodative. The Federal Reserve raised its policy rate, and several members signalled further rate increases ahead. The committee pointed to developments in wages, energy prices and other prices as reasons why the central bank may take further action. Monetary policy also tightened in Europe. The Europe- an Central Bank raised its deposit rate to 2.50 per cent in September, with attention focused on how higher energy prices should be balanced against a weaker growth outlook. Towards the end of the quarter, long-term government bond yields had risen markedly. The US ten-year yield was around 5.2 per cent, while the thirty-year yield reached 5.61 per cent, its highest level since 2002. Ger- man and French ten-year yields were also at levels not seen for 17-18 years. Higher market interest rates are in themselves tightening financial conditions and may reduce the need for further rate increases by central banks. Equity markets developed unevenly throughout the quarter. Periods of gains, driven by hopes of agree- ments regarding the conflict in the Middle East and news from the technology sector, were followed by weaker markets as oil prices and long-term interest rates rose. Overall, the S&P 500 rose by 2 per cent during the quarter and is up by just over 11 per cent so far this year. The corresponding figures for the DAX, the German stock market index, were an increase of 1 per cent during the quarter and a total increase of 3.5 per cent over the first three quarters of the year. Norwegian economy - Norges Bank reversed last year`s rate cuts Norges Bank kept the policy rate unchanged in August. Inflation had been lower than expected, but the central bank considered it too early to conclude that the infla- tion outlook had changed materially since June. At the same time, it indicated that a further rate increase could still be necessary. Following the meeting, the market priced in a probability of around 60 per cent of a rate increase in September. At its September meeting, Norges Bank raised the poli- cy rate by 0.25 percentage points to 4.50 per cent. This reversed the two rate cuts from 2025. The new policy rate path indicated that a further increase over the next year was more likely than a cut, with the policy rate peaking at around 4.60 per cent in the first quarter of 2027. The rate path was also raised further out, indicat- ing that the policy rate could remain high for an ex- tended period before being gradually reduced in 2028 and 2029. The decision was unanimous, but the minutes showed that the Committee had discussed both the risk of slowing the economy unnecessarily and the risk of doing too little to address inflation that has remained above target for a prolonged period. Household consumption developed more weakly than earlier in the year. Overall consumption fell in the first half of the year, while retail sales showed a declining trend. An increase of 0.6 per cent in August provided signs of stabilisation, but much of the increase came from groceries and fuel and may have been temporary. Consumer confidence also fell towards the levels seen during the period of high inflation and sharp interest rate increases in 2022 and 2023. Norges Bank revised its estimate for wage growth in 2026 down from 4.5 to 4.4 per cent. The interest rate increase and higher petrol and diesel prices are likely to dampen consumption growth in the short term. 3. Quarter 2026 ▶ Report of the Board of Directors6

The Norwegian krone strengthened throughout the quarter, supported by high oil prices and increased Norwegian interest rate expectations. EURNOK moved from 11.31 at the beginning of the quarter to 10.91 on 30 September, while USDNOK moved from 9.92 to 9.62. The Oslo Stock Exchange was affected by both the high oil price and the rise in long-term interest rates. The in- dex rose by 8.8 per cent in the third quarter and was up by as much as 23 per cent over the first three quarters of the year. Northern Norway’s economy – Businesses are growing, but the region lacks people Northern Norway has experienced growth in several industries over the past decade. At the same time, population growth has been weak, and many rural mu- nicipalities are losing inhabitants. Immigration has been crucial in maintaining the population. Since 2010, the total population of Northern Norway has increased by 5 per cent. Troms has experienced some- what stronger growth than Nordland and Finnmark, but all three have had significantly lower population growth than the rest of the country. As in the rest of the country, population growth has been strongest in the most central areas, particularly around the cities of Alta, Bodø and Tromsø. Most rural municipalities have experienced population decline, with the exception of a few municipalities such as Leir- fjord, Herøy, Steigen and Vågan. Many municipalities are also already facing an ageing population. As at 2026, 72 of the 80 municipalities have more older residents (aged 65+) than young residents (aged 0–19). Immigration drives population growth in Northern Norway Population growth in Northern Norway has largely been driven by immigration. The natural population increase shifted from being positive at the beginning of the 2010s to a natural decrease in the first half of the 2020s. Immigration slowed in the run-up to and during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the region experienced a population decline during the period 2019-2022. Growth since 2022 has largely been driven by immigration from Ukraine. As a result of low birth rates, Northern Norway is dependent on net inward migration to maintain its population. A relatively high proportion of refugees move to Southern Norway after a few years, while la- bour immigrants are more likely to remain in the region over time. The majority work in the private sector In 2025, 248 000 people had their place of work in Northern Norway. Over the past ten years, the employ- ment rate among residents aged 15–74 has increased from 65 to 68 per cent. During this period, the region has gone from having a lower employment rate than the rest of the country to having a higher employment rate. In 2025, more than 40 per cent of those employed in Northern Norway worked in the public sector. This proportion is higher than in both Oslo and Akershus and than the average for the rest of the country. The proportions have remained relatively stable across the country over the past ten years. Lofoten, Alta and Vesterålen are the three regions in Northern Norway with the lowest proportions em- ployed in the public sector, at 36, 38 and 39 per cent, re- spectively, in 2025. The proportion is highest in Øst-Fin- nmark at 50 per cent, and in Midt-Troms, Sør-Troms and Tromsø, where it ranges from 47 to 49 per cent. The full report is available at kbnn.no. Financial performance The Group’s profitability target is to deliver a return on equity among the highest of comparable financial groups. The Board of Directors assumes that this corre- sponds to a return on equity of 14 per cent or higher. The income statement after tax for 3Q26 in isolation shows a profit of NOK 812 million (NOK 903 million), corresponding to a return on equity for the quarter of 16.0 per cent (19.1 per cent). Year to date, profit after tax amounts to NOK 2 378 million (NOK 2 665 million), cor- responding to a return on equity of 16.0 per cent (19.0 per cent). The development in profit is mainly affected by lower income from financial investments and higher impairment losses compared with the same period last year. At the same time, underlying banking operations show positive development through increased net inter- est income and strong business growth. Net interest income Norges Bank raised the policy rate from 4.25 per cent to 4.5 per cent in 3Q26. SpareBank 1 Nord-Norge imple- mented general changes to customer lending and de- posit rates in 3Q26 in connection with the change in the policy rate. The full effect of these changes is expected to take effect from the end of November 2026. Net interest income in 3Q26 amounted to NOK 1 018 million (NOK 987 million), an increase of NOK 48 million from the previous quarter. The improvement was attrib- utable, among other things, to the effect of previously implemented interest rate changes and continued growth in lending volumes. Year to date, net interest income amounted to NOK 2 926 million, compared with NOK 2 950 million at the same point last year. Net inter- 3. Quarter 2026 ▶ Report of the Board of Directors7

est income represented 2.64 per cent (2.81 per cent) of average total assets. Net commission and other income Net commission and other income in 3Q26 amounted to NOK 386 million (NOK 387 million). SpareBank 1 Bolig- kreditt contributed NOK 19 million (NOK 60 million) in commissions, which is NOK 6 million lower than in the previous quarter (NOK 25 million). The decrease is due to NIBOR having increased more than customer interest rates during the period. Reference is made to Note 4 to the interim financial statements for a more detailed specification of net commission and other income. Development in market divisions Retail market (RM) Net interest income at the end of 3Q26 amounted to NOK 1 293 million (NOK 1 389 million). For the quarter in isolation, net interest income amounted to NOK 445 million, compared with NOK 424 million in the previous quarter. Net commission and other income at the end of 3Q26 amounted to NOK 483 million (NOK 403 million). For the quarter in isolation, net commission and other income increased by NOK 23 million, from NOK 147 mil- lion to NOK 170 million. The lending margin in RM, measured against average 3-month NIBOR, increased by 0.09 percentage points during the quarter to 0.66 per cent (1.21 per cent). The improvement in the margin from the previous quarter reflects the increasing impact of Norges Bank’s inter- est rate increase in May on lending rates during the quarter. The effect was limited by the increase in NIBOR during the quarter. The RM division continues to gain market share, with growth in the quarter in isolation (including SB1 Bolig- kreditt) of 2.0 per cent (3.0 per cent). Annualised lend- ing growth was therefore 8.0 per cent (12.1 per cent), while actual growth over the past 12 months was 8.2 per cent (9.0 per cent). The deposit margin against NIBOR was unchanged from the previous quarter at 2.30 per cent (1.93 per cent). The Group is actively working to maintain the deposit margin. At the same time, future developments will depend on movements in NIBOR and the competitive environment. Deposits decreased by 2.7 per cent (decreased by 1.4 per cent). This is a normal seasonal variation, while actu- al 12-month growth was 6.2 per cent (7.5 per cent), and deposits remain a favourable source of funding for the bank. The Group will continue to emphasise maintaining a high deposit-to-loan ratio. Total operating expenses in the RM division at the end of 3Q26 amounted to NOK 215 million (NOK 210 million). For the quarter in isolation, operating expens- es amounted to NOK 68 million, a decrease of NOK 2 million from the previous quarter. At the end of 3Q26, the division had 231 FTEs (234), five fewer than at the end of the previous quarter. At the end of the quarter, impairment losses of NOK 5 million had been reversed (impairment losses of NOK 4 million). Corporate market (CM) Net interest income at the end of 3Q26 amounted to NOK 983 million (NOK 1 029 million). For the quarter in isolation, net interest income amounted to NOK 338 million, compared with NOK 331 million in the previous quarter. Net commission and other income at the end of 3Q26 amounted to NOK 214 million (NOK 159 million). For the quarter in isolation, net commission and other income increased by NOK 10 million, from NOK 63 mil- lion to NOK 69 million. The lending margin in CM, measured against average 3-month NIBOR, decreased by 0.04 percentage points to 2.12 per cent in 3Q26 (2.56 per cent). Strong activity before the summer and a solid order backlog resulted in strong growth in the CM division during the quarter. The growth is within the Bank’s risk strategy and amounted to 4.89 per cent (0.9 per cent) in Q3 when measured on a standalone quarterly basis. Annualised lending growth was therefore 19.4 per cent (3.6 per cent). Actual growth over the past 12 months was 10.0 per cent (1.4 per cent). This development is particularly strong in light of lower underlying growth, a near standstill in residential construction and increased geopolitical uncertainty. The deposit margin against NIBOR was unchanged from the previous quarter at 0.76 per cent (0.74 per cent). The division has taken active measures to strengthen the deposit margin going forward. The deposit balance in the CM division also decreased somewhat during the quarter, declining by 1.1 per cent (a decrease of 4.0 per cent). Actual 12-month growth nevertheless remained strong at 8.2 per cent (6.7 per cent). Total operating expenses in the CM division at the end of 3Q26 amounted to NOK 129 million (NOK 111 3.

million). For the quarter in isolation, operating expens- es amounted to NOK 43 million, unchanged from the previous quarter. At the end of the quarter, the division had 115 FTEs (117), a reduction of one FTE since the previous quarter. At the end of the quarter, impairment losses of NOK 89 million (NOK 29 million) had been recognised. Net income from financial investments Net income from financial investments in 3Q26 amount- ed to NOK 174 million (NOK 243 million), which is NOK 61 million lower than in the previous quarter (NOK 235 mil- lion). Share of profit from ownership interests amounted to NOK 162 million in the quarter (NOK 189 million), while changes in the value of shares including dividends, foreign exchange and derivatives amounted to NOK 12 million (NOK 54 million). Year to date, net income from financial investments amounted to NOK 503 million (NOK 759 million). Share of profit from ownership interests amounted to NOK 529 million (NOK 420 million), driven by strong contribu- tions from the alliance companies. The result from other financial investments was negative at NOK 26 million (positive at NOK 302 million). The item was particularly affected by the negative share price performance of SpareBank 1 Helgeland, see further description in the section on the equity portfolio. Changes in value and net gains from the bond portfolio amounted to NOK 1 million year to date (NOK 21 million). For the quarter in isolation, the impact on profit was negative at NOK 27 million (positive at NOK 5 million), as a result of volatility in the interest rate market. Changes in value and net gains on foreign exchange, financial derivatives and hedged fixed-rate loans amounted to NOK 25 million year to date (NOK 13 million). An overview of total income from financial investments for the quarter is provided in Note 5 to the interim fi- nancial statements. In addition, results from subsidiaries, associated companies and joint ventures are specified in Note 13. Associated companies and joint ventures The most significant ACs are commented on below: SpareBank 1 Gruppen SpareBank 1 Gruppen Group achieved a profit in 3Q26 of NOK 1 894 million (NOK 1 636 million) before tax and NOK 1 385 million (NOK 1 292 million) after tax. The result was driven by very strong insurance results from Fremtind Holding Group, due to high premium income and a low claims frequency. SpareBank 1 Nord-Norge’s share of the profit in the third quarter was NOK 143 million (NOK 136 million). Year to date, the share of profit amounts to NOK 412 million (NOK 309 million). SpareBank 1 Gruppen and Kredinorstiftelsen have entered into an agreement for the sale of Kredinor AS. Completion of the transaction is subject to the necessary regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, and is expected to take place in January 2027. More infor- mation is available in the stock exchange announcement dated 07.10.2026. SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt The result for 3Q26 in isolation was a profit after tax of NOK 66 million (NOK 199 million). The result was reduced by lower NRI and negative developments in investments in financial assets. SpareBank 1 Nord-Norge’s share of the result in 3Q26 was NOK 9 million (NOK 29 million), and NOK 63 million year to date (NOK 58 million). SpareBank 1 Forvaltning Profit after tax amounted to NOK 64 million in 3Q26, down from NOK 66 million in 3Q25. SpareBank 1 Nord-Norge’s share of the profit in 3Q26 was NOK 8 million (NOK 8 million), and NOK 24 million year to date (NOK 23 million). SB1 Markets SB1 Markets delivered a profit after tax of NOK 7 million in 3Q26, which is NOK 25 million lower than in the cor- responding period last year (NOK 32 million). Income increased by NOK 53 million in 3Q26 to NOK 270 million (NOK 217 million in 3Q25). An important factor behind the income growth is the establishment of a branch in Sweden. At the same time, the business in Norway also recorded higher income in the third quarter on a stan- dalone basis. Costs in 3Q26 increased by NOK 69 million compared with 3Q25, with a significant part of the increase relating to the establishment of the Swedish branch. SpareBank 1 Nord-Norge’s share of the profit in the third quarter was NOK 1 million (NOK 10 million), and NOK 8 million year to date (NOK 27 million). 3.

Subsidiaries The Group’s subsidiaries are fully consolidated into the Group’s financial statements and delivered a combined profit after tax of NOK 65 million (NOK 67 million) in the quarter. EiendomsMegler 1 Nord-Norge The company recorded a profit after tax of NOK 7 million (NOK 7 million) for the quarter in isolation, and NOK 31 million year to date (NOK 31 million). The result remains at the same level as last year, when the housing market was very strong with a high level of activity. The number of homes sold in 3Q26 was 960 (1 049). At the end of 3Q26, the company had 112 FTEs (109), a reduc- tion of one FTE from the previous quarter (113). SpareBank 1 Regnskapshuset Nord-Norge The company recorded a profit after tax of NOK 4 million in 3Q26 (NOK 1 million), and NOK 18 million year to date (NOK 16 million). The company is undergoing a restructuring process following two mergers in 2024, and a gradual improvement in results is expected over the coming years. At the end of 3Q26, the company had 249 FTEs (278), corresponding to a reduction of 11 FTEs from the end of 2Q26 (260). SpareBank 1 Finans Nord-Norge The company recorded a profit after tax of NOK 54 mil- lion in 3Q26 (NOK 58 million), and NOK 170 million year to date (NOK 172 million). There were 40 employees at the end of 3Q26 (unchanged from the same period last year), unchanged from the previous quarter. Equities portfolio The Group’s equity portfolio amounted to NOK 690 million at the end of 3Q26 (NOK 1 709 million), compared with NOK 1 501 million at the end of the previous quar- ter. The reduction is mainly attributable to effects relat- ed to the acquisition of additional equity certificates in SpareBank 1 Helgeland. Until and including August, the investment was classified as a financial asset measured at fair value through profit or loss. Year to date, the share price performance of SpareBank 1 Helgeland has had a negative impact on profit of NOK 104 million, including dividends, while the impact on profit for the quarter in isolation was positive at NOK 11 million. For further information about the transaction, reference is made to Note 1 and the stock exchange announcement dated 27.08.2026. The remaining equity portfolio, mainly comprising BN Bank and VN Norge, has had a positive impact on profit of NOK 49 million year to date, including dividends. Certificates, bonds, currency and derivatives The Group’s holdings of certificates and bonds at the end of 3Q26 amounted to NOK 22 072 million, com- pared with NOK 23 705 million at the end of the previ- ous quarter and NOK 22 362 million at the beginning of the year. An overview of the Group’s derivatives exposure is pro- vided in Note 15 to the interim financial statements. Operating costs The Group’s operating expenses year to date amount- ed to NOK 1 529 million (NOK 1 526 million). Operating expenses in 3Q26 amounted to NOK 506 million (NOK 503 million), a decrease of NOK 5 million from the pre- vious quarter. The parent bank’s operating expenses for the quarter amounted to NOK 353 million (NOK 348 million), while operating expenses in the subsidiaries amounted to NOK 159 million (NOK 155 million). At the end of 3Q26, the increase in the Group’s operat- ing expenses over the past 12 months was therefore 0.2 per cent. Personnel expenses in the parent bank and the Group increased by NOK 5 million and NOK 14 mil- lion, respectively, year to date compared with last year, corresponding to a significant reduction in real terms when taking into account underlying wage growth dur- ing the period. The underlying cost reduction is attributable to the on- going efficiency programme, which as at 30 September 2026 has resulted in a net reduction in staffing at Group level of 56 permanent FTEs since the programme was initiated in May 2025. The reduction is expected to be permanent, and the previously communicated annual ef- fect of the programme of NOK 40–50 million from 2027 is maintained. The parent bank’s increase in operating expenses over the past 12 months (adjusted for the Tieto legal pro- ceedings in 2025) amounted to NOK 53 million. Of this increase, however, NOK 13 million comprised non-recur- ring costs at the end of 3Q26. These costs mainly relate to the disposal of fixed assets and timing effects, which will not have a recurring impact. 3. Quarter 2026 ▶ Report of the Board of Directors10

At the same time, there has been a real increase in ICT and marketing expenses. Both cost items have increased as a result of general price inflation as well as new initiatives. The number of FTEs in the Group was 930 at the end of the quarter, a decrease of 19 FTEs from the previous quarter. Compared with the same period last year, this represents a reduction of 51 FTEs. In the parent bank, the number of FTEs decreased by seven from the previous quarter to 529 (550). Regnskapshuset reduced its staffing by 11 FTEs over the same period, Eiendoms- megler 1 by one FTE, while SpareBank 1 Finans had the same number of FTEs as at the end of the previous quarter. The cost-income ratio for 3Q26 in isolation was 32.1 per cent, resulting in a year-to-date cost-income ratio of 33.1 per cent. This is well within the Group’s long-term target of 35 per cent or lower. The Group maintains a strong focus on its cost base and continuously works to ensure operational discipline throughout the organisation. Note 6 to the interim financial statements provides a breakdown of expenses by main category and a com- parison with previous periods. Losses and non-performing loans The Group’s net impairment losses on loans in 3Q26 amounted to NOK 62 million (NOK -4 million) and were mainly attributable to the Corporate Market (NOK 67 million). Net impairment losses in 3Q26 comprise NOK -7 million (NOK 10 million) in changes in realised losses and chang- es in individual impairment provisions, as well as NOK 71 million (NOK -12 million) in increased model-based impairment provisions (ECL). Recoveries on previously written-off loans reduced losses by NOK 2 million (NOK 2 million). The Group considers the probability of an economic downturn to be somewhat lower and has therefore adjusted the scenario weighting in the ECL model in 3Q from 80/15/5 per cent to 80/10/10 per cent. The scenar- io weighting comprises the three scenarios Base (most likely), Pessimistic (weaker development) and Optimistic (stronger development). The change in scenario weight- ing reflects a somewhat more balanced macroeconom- ic risk outlook. Reference is made to Note 2 for further details of the assessments underlying the calculation. The Group has observed increased negative migration in the portfolio, while the level of Stage 3 exposures remains stable. The Group continues to have a solid and diversified customer portfolio with low to moderate risk. However, vulnerable sectors such as commercial real estate, construction, retail and certain fisheries ex- posures remain areas to which the bank pays particular attention and closely monitors. Total impairment provisions on loans at the end of 3Q26 amounted to NOK 891 million (NOK 809 million), NOK 47 million higher than at the end of the previous quar- ter (NOK 844 million). Impairment provisions on loans amounted to 0.75 per cent of the Group’s total gross loans and 0.51 per cent of gross loans including loans transferred to SB1 Boligkreditt and SB1 Næringskreditt. The corresponding ratios at the end of 3Q25 were 0.73 per cent and 0.51 per cent. The Group’s total Stage 1 and Stage 2 impairment provisions at the end of 3Q26 amounted to NOK 555 million (NOK 445 million), NOK 74 million higher than at the end of the previous quarter (NOK 481 million). Stage 3 impairment provisions amounted to NOK 336 million at the end of 3Q26 (NOK 364 million), compared with NOK 363 million at the end of 2Q26. Reference is made to Notes 2, 8 and 11 to the interim financial statements, where the Group’s assessments of the factors affecting impairment provisions in 3Q26 are described in further detail. In the Board of Directors’ assessment, the quality of the Group’s lending portfolio is good, and non-performing and credit-impaired exposures are being managed effectively. This work will continue to receive significant attention going forward. Balance sheet development At the end of 3Q26, loans totalling NOK 55 billion (NOK 50 billion) had been transferred to SpareBank 1 Bolig- kreditt, and NOK 0.1 billion (NOK 0.1 billion) had been transferred to SpareBank 1 Næringskreditt. These loans are not recognised as loans in the bank’s balance sheet. However, comments regarding lending growth include loans sold to the credit institutions. Loans to the Retail Market account for 66 per cent of total loans at the end of 3Q26 (66 per cent). The Group’s loans are specified in Note 10 to the interim financial statements. Liquidity Deposits from customers are the Group’s most im- portant source of funding, and Note 16 to the interim financial statements provides an overview of the bank’s deposits. 3. Quarter 2026 ▶ Report of the Board of Directors11
Page 12
The deposit-to-loan ratio at the end of 3Q26 was 84 per cent, compared with 85 per cent at the end of 3Q25. In addition to regulatory capital and customer deposits, long-term funding from the capital markets represents the bank’s main source of other funding. The bank’s access to liquidity and key liquidity ratios are satisfactory. The bank’s objective is to maintain liquidity risk at a low level. The LCR (Liquidity Coverage Ratio) at the end of 3Q26 was 130 per cent (146 per cent). The NSFR (Net Stable Funding Ratio) at the end of 3Q26 was 116 per cent (118 per cent). The senior preferred rating from Moody’s was Aa3 at the end of 3Q26, while the senior non-pre- ferred rating was A3. Reference is also made to Note 22 to the interim finan- cial statements regarding liquidity risk. Financial strength and capital adequacy The updated capital requirements framework (CRR3) entered into force in the EU on 1 January 2025 and in Norway on 1 April 2025 and is consequently reflected in the Group’s capital adequacy calculations and financial statements as at the end of the third quarter of 2026. Among other changes, the risk weight floor for resi- dential mortgages was increased from 20 per cent to 25 per cent with effect from 1 July 2025. Furthermore, relevant equity positions increased from a 100 per cent risk weight in 2025 to 130 per cent in 2026 as a result of the gradual phase-in of higher risk weights pursuant to Article 495a of CRR3. SpareBank 1 Nord-Norge received a new Pillar 2 re- quirement from the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway, effective from 1 December 2025, totalling 1.50 per cent (1.40 per cent), of which 0.84 per cent (0.80 per cent) relates to the Common Equity Tier 1 requirement. At the same time, the Group’s internal minimum require- ment under Pillar 2 Guidance (P2G) was reduced from 1.0 per cent to 0.75 per cent. As a result, the Group’s in- ternal target for the Common Equity Tier 1 ratio in 2026 was set at 15.56 per cent, a reduction from the previous level of 15.80 per cent. The Group applies proportional consolidation in its capital adequacy reporting for its ownership interests in SB1 Boligkreditt, SB1 Næringskreditt, Kredittbanken, SB1 Markets and BN Bank. From 3Q26, SB1 Helgeland is also included in the proportional consolidation. Common Equity Tier 1 capital amounted to NOK 16 363 million at the end of the third quarter of 2026. This rep- resents an increase of NOK 888 million compared with the end of 2Q26 (NOK 15 475 million), and an increase of NOK 1 683 million compared with the end of the third quarter of 2025 (NOK 14 680 million). The Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio was 17.02 per cent at the end of the quarter, which is 1.46 percentage points above the Group’s internal capital target of 15.56 per cent and 2.21 percentage points above the appli- cable regulatory minimum requirement. 44.4 per cent of the profit as at 30 September 2026 has been recog- nised in the interim financial statements for 3Q26. Total risk exposure amount (RWA) amounted to NOK 96 145 million at the end of the third quarter of 2026, an in- crease of NOK 4 716 million from the second quarter of 2026. The change in the risk-weighted exposure amount is primarily due to the proportional consolidation of SB1 Helgeland and a reduction in commitments. The calculation of capital adequacy is presented in Note 21. Concluding remarks and outlook Expectations in the interest rate market have changed significantly during 2026. We have seen two interest rate increases this year, and Norges Bank’s policy rate path now indicates a peak of 4.6 per cent. This indicates only a moderate increase in interest rates, but uncer- tainty remains high. For the Group’s net interest margin, a higher policy rate is positive in isolation, but strong competition in the market continues to put pressure on margins. At a time when the net interest margin is under pressure, the objective is to compensate for this by increasing contri- butions from other product areas, particularly through contributions from the alliance and subsidiaries. In addi- tion, the bank expects higher interest income through continued profitable lending growth in both the Retail Market (RM) and Corporate Market (CM). Based on its strong market position, the bank has raised its expectations for lending growth in CM for 2026 to 7–10 per cent, while maintaining its expectation for RM at 6–9 per cent. Nevertheless, given the developments in 2026 and the risk of further interest rate increases, uncertainty remains high. Households in Northern Norway have, on average, a lower debt-to-income ratio and therefore a greater debt-servicing capacity than in the rest of the coun- try, while businesses in the region remain strong with good earnings. Northern Norway continues to have 3. Quarter 2026 ▶ Report of the Board of Directors12
Page 13
Tromsø, 29.10.26 Board of Directors SpareBank 1 Nord-Norge lower unemployment than the national average and prospects for higher economic growth than the rest of the country. Real wage growth will also contribute to increased purchasing power. The Norwegian Armed Forces in Northern Norway are facing substantial invest- ments in the coming years, and significant investment in infrastructure in the region will be required. From 2027 onwards, this is expected to generate positive spillover effects for the region and the Group. Key industries in Northern Norway, such as tourism and fisheries, are performing well. Despite somewhat lower salmon prices in 2026, the aquaculture industry con- tinues to perform well. Good earnings and continued willingness to invest are therefore expected throughout 2026. Commercial real estate has been challenging for several years as a result of high interest rates. At the same time, rents have increased significantly as a result of infla- tion-linked rent adjustments, without a material increase in vacancy rates in Northern Norway. A further increase in interest rates could, however, prove challenging for several market participants, and the sector is therefore being closely monitored. Geopolitical uncertainty remains high. For Northern Nor- way in isolation, this is expected to result in increased investment and initiatives in the region. The Group therefore expects Northern Norway to continue to per- form better economically than the rest of the country in the coming years. SpareBank 1 Nord-Norge is very solid and liquid, with a high-quality customer portfolio and a strong market position in a region with favourable conditions for con- tinued positive economic development. Ongoing brand tracking shows that the Group has a very strong posi- tion in the minds of people in Northern Norway. At the same time, the Group faces strong competition from new challengers. However, there is only one regional bank for Northern Norway. With its unique position and in-depth knowledge of the people, businesses and local communities in the region, the Group is well positioned to succeed in the years ahead. The outlook for Spare- Bank 1 Nord-Norge is considered favourable. 3. Quarter 2026 ▶ Report of the Board of Directors13

Note 1 Accounting policies Notes General These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, as approved by the EU, and applicable Norwegian require- ments for interim financial reporting for banks and finan- cial institutions. The interim financial statements have also been prepared in accordance with the Accounting Act, the Securities Trading Act and related regulations, as well as relevant guidance and requirements issued by the Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority The interim financial statements do not contain the same scope of information, explanatory notes and specifications as a complete annual financial state- ment, and are primarily based on updates of previously reported financial information. Users of the financial statements must therefore read the interim financial statements in conjunction with the Group’s annual financial statements for the most recently completed financial year, including the accounting policies applied, significant accounting judgments and estimates, infor- mation on risk and capital adequacy presented therein. The same applies to introductory explanatory texts in the various notes to the financial statements. The quarterly financial statements have been audited by an external auditor. New and amended accounting standards and regulations The Group has assessed new and amended IFRS stand- ards and interpretations that come into effect from 01.01.26. In the opinion of management, none of these have had a material impact on the Group’s interim finan- cial statements. The interim financial statements have also been pre- pared taking into account applicable Norwegian regulatory requirements for banks, including rules for public financial reporting, risk reporting and capital adequacy. Changes in regulations that have not had a material accounting effect during the reporting period are not specifically discussed in the interim financial statements. Changed accounting treatment of the investment in SpareBank 1 Helgeland SpareBank 1 Nord-Norge previously held 19.99% of the equity certificates in SpareBank 1 Helgeland (SB1H). The investment was classified as a financial asset and measured at fair value through profit or loss based on the quoted market price of the HELG equity certifi - cate. In August 2026, SpareBank 1 Nord-Norge acquired ad - ditional equity certificates representing approximately 6.7% of the outstanding equity certificates. Following the transaction, the Bank owns 26.7% of the equity certificates in SB1H. As a result of the increased ownership interest and an overall assessment of relevant facts and circum - stances, SpareBank 1 Nord-Norge concluded that it obtained significant influence over SB1H from 1 Sep - tember 2026. Consequently, the accounting treatment of the investment has been changed from that date. G ro u p a cco u n t s From 1 September 2026, SB1H is classified as an asso - ciate in the consolidated financial statements, and the investment is accounted for using the equity method in accordance with IAS 28. The Group’s share of profit or loss and other changes in the net assets of SB1H are recognised in the carrying amount of the investment. Distributions received reduce the carrying amount of the investment. Parent company From 1 September 2026, the investment is classified as an investment in an associate in the parent company fi - nancial statements. The investment is accounted for at cost in accordance with the Bank’s accounting policy under IAS 27 and is therefore no longer measured at fair value through profit or loss. C a p i t a l a d e q u a c y t r e a t m e n t From 1 September 2026, the investment in SB1H is included in the calculation of consolidated capital adequacy using propor - tional consolidation. Other matters From 01.01.2026 the account classification of interest and fee income has been slightly revised compared with previous years. The total line items for interest income, interest expense, fee income, and net value changes on financial assets have been adjusted with effect from 01.01.2026. Comparative figures for the previous year have also been restated. The adjustments have no overall impact on earnings. From 01.01.2026 the calculation of key figures return on equity and net interest margin for the period has been changed from quarterly to day-based annualisation of period result and net interest income. Comparative figures for prior periods have also been restated. 3. Quarter 2026 ▶ Notes21

Note 2 Important accounting estimates and discretionary judgements Losses on loans SpareBank 1 Nord Norge applies a model for calculating expected credit losses (Expected Credit Loss – ECL) in accordance with IFRS 9. A more detailed description of the ECL model is provided in Note 13 to the annual financial statements. The results of the calculated ECL are presented in Notes 8 and 11 to the interim financial statements. The model’s underlying assumptions for the quarter have been updated in line with the latest Monetary Policy Report published by Norges Bank. Develop- ments since the previous quarter suggest that less weight should be placed on adverse macroeconomic outcomes. The Norwegian economy has developed broadly as expected, with continued growth in employ- ment and capacity utilisation declining somewhat less than previously projected. Although uncertainty remains considerable, the risk outlook is therefore assessed as somewhat more balanced than in the previous quarter. This also suggests placing somewhat less weight on the downside scenario than previously. Consequently, the weighting of the macroeconomic scenarios for the current quarter has been changed to 80/10/10 %. Certain adjustments have also been made this quarter for customers included on the watchlist. Sensitivity Analysis The table below presents the calculated ECL for each of the three applied scenarios on a standalone basis. The calculations are distributed between the main seg ments, retail customers and corporate customers, which in aggregate comprise the parent bank. In addition to the segment specific ECL based on the applied scenario weighting (80/10/10 %), the table also presents two alternative scenario weightings, reflecting adjustments to the probability of the baseline scenario (80/15/5 % and 80/5/15 %).
