Notes to the financial statements of the parent company

1 Accounting and valuation principles

Principles that differ from those used in the consolidated financial statements are listed below.

General principles

The accounting and valuation principles of the parent company of Luzerner Kantonalbank AG are largely in line with those of the Group. In contrast to the consolidated financial statements, which are based on the ‘true and fair view’ principle, the statutory individual financial statements capture the bank's economic situation reliably, enabling third parties to form an accurate opinion. The statutory separate financial statements may be influenced by hidden reserves.

Investments

The shares and other securities of companies held as long-term investments shown under investments are carried at the acquisition value, less necessary operational and precautionary value adjustments.

Value adjustments and provisions

Value adjustments that have been released are transferred to ‘Other provisions’ as hidden reserves or reversed to ‘Changes in value adjustments for default risk and losses from interest operations’. ‘Other provisions’ can include hidden reserves. Value adjustments and provisions that are released (except tax and pension provisions) can be used in the same accounting period to form necessary operational value adjustments and provisions for other similar requirements as originally intended, as shown in Section 6.11 ‘Value adjustments and provisions / reserves for general banking risks’.

Reserves for general banking risks

The reserves for general banking risks are taxed.

Statutory capital reserve

Premiums from capital increases and non-repayable grants are recognised under the ‘statutory capital reserve’. The ‘Reserve from tax-exempt capital contributions’ is reported separately (‘of which’ item). This reserve includes amounts that can be distributed to shareholders without tax consequences in accordance with the capital contribution principle.

Statutory retained earnings

The ‘statutory retained earnings’ accrue in accordance with the provisions of the Swiss Code of Obligations. This means that the legally required allocations are accounted for here. The gain on disposal from trading in own shares and the dividend income thereof are allocated to ‘statutory retained earnings’. Here, a distinction is made between own shares held for trading and other own shares (see also the following Section ‘Own shares’).

Voluntary retained earnings

‘Voluntary retained earnings’ include all reserves that have the character of reserves formed as a precautionary measure to hedge latent future risks in the course of business of the bank and that are not accumulated within the scope of the statutory provisions on the appropriation of profits.

Own shares

A distinction is made between treasury shares held for trading and other own shares.

2 Changes in accounting and valuation principles

In the 2025 financial year, LUKB made the following changes to the accounting and valuation principles (see also the corresponding section in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements):

  • Starting in the 2025 financial year, provisions for inherent default risks on off-balance-sheet items (contingent liabilities) will now be recognised. For further details, see Section 4 ‘Methods used for identifying default risks and determining the need for value adjustments and provisions’.
  • Positive and negative replacement values of derivative financial instruments and cash collaterals for each counterparty deposited in this context are now also offset against each other in the balance sheet, provided that recognised and legally enforceable netting agreements exist. The previous year's figures have been restated as follows for comparison purposes:

  • From the 2025 financial year onwards, brokerage commissions for loans paid to brokers and platforms are no longer recognised in the commission and service business, but rather are offset directly against the corresponding interest income. In the 2024 financial year, the corresponding commission expenses amounted to 1.0 million Swiss francs.
  • In addition, the dedicated reserves for general banking risks were combined with the reserves for general banking risks not intended for a specific purpose as at 31 December 2025. Accordingly, the total amount of the reserves for general banking risks is now without purpose-specific allocation.
3 Other areas in which the accounting and valuation principles apply

The Sections ‘Recognition of transactions’, ‘Treatment of past due interest’, ‘Foreign-currency translation’ and ‘Refinancing of positions in trading business’ of the consolidated financial statements also apply identically to the financial statements of the parent company.

4 Risk management

Risk management is identical for the parent company and the Group. For these reasons, please refer to Section 3 ‘Risk management’ and Section 4 ‘Methods used for identifying default risks and determining the need for value adjustments and provisions’, Section 5 ‘Valuation of collateral / criteria for determining market value and loan-to-value’ and Section 6 ‘Use of derivative financial instruments / hedge accounting’ of the consolidated financial statements.

5 Events after the balance sheet date

No extraordinary events that have a material effect on the assets, financial position or results of operations of Luzerner Kantonalbank AG occurred after the balance sheet date.

1)In the financial statements of the Pension Fund of Luzerner Kantonalbank prepared in accordance with Swiss GAAP FER 26, the coverage ratio as of 31 December 2025 amounts to 128.1 % (previous year 127.4 %). Accordingly, the fluctuation reserves – unlike in the previous year – have reached the target value of 25.6 %. Careful assessment has shown that, despite the free capital, there are no economic effects for the bank.

1)The remunerations of the members of the Board of Directors relate to the periods AGM 2025 to AGM 2026 (14 April 2025 to 13 April 2026) and AGM 2024 to AGM 2025 (15 April 2024 to 14 April 2025).

2)The Board of Directors receives 50% of the proposed remuneration (total remuneration for the term AGM 2025 to AGM 2026: 931,000 Swiss francs) in shares blocked for at least six years (blocking period until 30 April 2032). 50% of the Board’s remuneration is paid in shares at the applicable tax value, with the number of shares rounded up to the nearest whole number. The relevant valuation for the equity rights recognised in the 2025 financial year is determined based on the volume-weighted average price for the period from 1 March 2026 to 13 April 2026. The exact number of allocated shares will be disclosed in the financial report 2026.

3)The shares allocated to the Board of Directors last year as part of the remuneration after the AGM 2025 were determined based on the volume-weighted average price for the period from 1 March 2025 to 14 April 2025, with the number of shares at the applicable tax value rounded up to the nearest whole number. The exact number was not yet known at the time of publication of the financial report 2024. Consequently, there are minor differences compared with the figures reported last year.

4)At periodic intervals, employees are offered the opportunity on a voluntary basis to acquire blocked registered shares of Luzerner Kantonalbank AG at preferential conditions. In 2025, 169,648 registered shares of Luzerner Kantonalbank AG with a price of 63.70 Swiss francs (average price for the month of december 2024) were purchased by employees at 45.00 Swiss francs. The discount of approximately 3.2 million Swiss francs is included in personnel expenses (partially accrued in previous years).

Members of the Board of Directors, the Executive Board and the second management level receive a defined portion of their compensation in the form of registered shares of Luzerner Kantonalbank AG that are blocked for several years. Details can be found in the Compensation Report.
