Ladies and Gentlemen,
On behalf of the Management Board and the entire PKO Bank Hipoteczny SA team, I have the pleasure of presenting to you the report showing the Bank’s operations in 2025.
In 2025, the team’s hard work made it possible to generate the second highest net profit in the Bank’s history of PLN 95.1 million. This good result was achieved in an environment of significant declines in interest rates and growing fiscal burdens.
For the last few years PKO Bank Hipoteczny SA has been and still is the undisputed leader among mortgage banks in Poland in terms of total assets, loan balances and mortgage covered bonds issued.
As at the end of 2025, the Bank’s total assets amounted to nearly PLN 17.9 billion, up by PLN 0.5 billion year-on-year. Of this amount, PLN 17.1 billion was attributable to its high quality residential loan portfolio.
Thanks to the commitment of the entire team, mortgage loan sales in the agency model exceeded PLN 1.2 billion.
The balance of mortgage covered bonds outstanding amounted to PLN 8.4 billion, which represented more than 40% of the total value of outstanding mortgage covered bonds issued by mortgage banks operating in Poland.
We were the first mortgage bank operating in Poland in almost 100 years to issue mortgage covered bonds for individual investors. The issue was a great success. In order to ensure that every individual investor who signed up for our mortgage covered bonds receives them, we increased the volume of the offer by 15 per cent. We also shortened the period for accepting subscriptions from twenty-one to nine days. The final value of the issue was PLN 1.15 billion.
The retail mortgage bonds made their debut on the Catalyst market operated by the Warsaw Stock Exchange on 29 October 2025. Thus, together with the PKO BP Group, we expanded the range of financial instruments available to individual investors. For this pioneering project, we received the 2025 Capital Market Leader Award from the Stock Exchange.
Last year, we also returned to the European market after an absence of three years. In June 2025, we issued mortgage covered bonds worth EUR 500 million to institutional investors. In the first 90 minutes after the launch of the offer, demand exceeded one billion EUR, eventually reaching almost 2.5 times the value of the offer.

Świętokrzyska 36, 00-116 Warsaw, registered at the Capital City of Warsaw District Court in Warsaw, 12th Commercial Division of the National Court Register under KRS numer 0000528469; Tax Identification Number (NIP): 204-000-45-48; REGON: 222181030; share capital 1.611,300,000 PLN.
In 2025, as the only mortgage bank in Poland, we had two active mortgage covered bond issue programmes: international and domestic. Our aim was and continues to be to offer high-quality mortgage covered bonds to institutional and individual investors. This is in line with the policy of PKO Bank Polski SA, which envisaged democratization and expansion of its offer to customers in its strategy. We are keen to see the scale of mortgage covered bond issuance in Poland grow. Compared to other European countries, our market is still not large. That is why we have been carrying out market development activities in 2025, which included cooperation with experts from the European Financial Congress, as well as educational activities to raise public awareness which accompanied the retail issue.
In line with our strategy, we maintain a safe level of risk in the Bank’s operations. Both capital and liquidity ratios are at safe levels, significantly above regulatory requirements. Combined with the high degree of collateralization of the mortgage covered bonds issued (as at the end of 2025, the level of overcollateralization was 78.8% compared to the required 5%), this allows their rating to be maintained at Aa1, the highest achievable for Polish securities. Our foundations are stable and being part of the PKO Bank Polski Group allows us to expect growth in the years to come.
I hereby invite you to read PKO Bank Hipoteczny annual report for 2025.
Yours faithfully
Wojciech Papierak
