“Our performance this quarter reflects solid execution of our strategy and the resilience of our business model. Net fees and commission income grew by 8% year on year. We continue to operate in a healthy macroeconomic environment, which – combined with our prudent underwriting – supports excellent asset quality across the portfolio.
We also launched a cost-optimization program aimed at simplifying our structure, increasing efficiency, and driving long-term profitability. Operating expenses, excluding costs related to strategic initiatives, are returning to normal levels. Our successful €300m Senior Preferred issuance – our second transaction this year – enhances our funding diversification.
I am also pleased to highlight an important strategic partnership with one of the most renowned sports clubs in the Baltic region – Kauno Žalgiris. This partnership will further strengthen the market position of the Artea brand,” said Vytautas Sinius, CEO of Artea Bank.

Other information
The capital and liquidity position remains stable and strong. The institution ensures that all risk-limiting regulatory requirements are met not only in compliance with the established standards but also with a significant buffer, ensuring resilience to potential market fluctuations. The total capital ratio (TCR) is above 21.5%2, i.e., 3.2% above the bank’s risk appetite. The liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) is 164%2, i.e., 14% above the bank’s risk appetite. Also, the liquidity calculation methodology is currently being reviewed to align it with supervisory expectations and best practices. The review also includes adjustments addressing observations made by the ECB during the 2025 inspection of the Bank’s liquidity risk management framework, identifying areas for improvement. The methodology review is planned to be completed by the end of 2025. As a result of the methodology review, the LCR ratio decreased by 23 percentage points in the second quarter of 2025 and by an additional 34 percentage points in the third quarter. It should be noted that, if this revised methodology were applied retrospectively, the indicators for previous periods would be lower as well. Regardless of methodological differences, the bank complied with all applicable prudential requirements both at the end of 2024 and throughout 2025.
