Skipton Building Society | Pillar 3 Disclosures 31 December 2025

1

Introduction

This document presents the Pillar 3 disclosures of Skipton Building Society (the Society) and its subsidiaries at the

prudential group level as at 31 December 2025.

These Pillar 3 disclosures are published on the Society’s website www.skipton.co.uk/about-us/pillar-3-disclosure.

1.1

Scope of application

The Society is required to calculate and maintain regulatory capital on both a prudential consolidation group

(Group) and a Society only basis. The Group comprises the Society and a small number of subsidiaries, excluding

those deemed as immaterial or not core to financial services.

The basis of consolidation for regulatory and accounting purposes are different. For an overview of the differences

between accounting and regulatory scopes of consolidation, see section 4.

1.2

Basis of presentation

The disclosures have been prepared in accordance with the Capital Requirements Directive (CRD V), the United

Kingdom’s Capital Requirements Regulation (UK CRR) and the disclosure requirements set out in the Prudential

Regulation Authority’s (PRA) Rulebook. No changes have been made to the fixed templates, unless specifically

stated above or directly beneath the relevant template.

These Pillar 3 disclosures are based upon the Group’s Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2025,

unless otherwise stated. As such, they should be read alongside the Group’s Annual Report and Accounts 2025,

which is available on the Society’s website on www.skipton.co.uk/about-us/financial-results. Reference to the

Group’s Annual Report and Accounts 2025 has been set out clearly in the relevant sections of this document to

avoid duplication of information.

The Group’s Annual Report and Accounts 2025 are prepared in line with International Financial Reporting Standards

(IFRS), whilst the balances within the Pillar 3 disclosures are disclosed at a prudential group level (see section 1.1

above). The differences between the two documents are set out in sections 4 and 5.

All figures and narratives are as at 31 December 2025. Comparative analysis is provided as required in the PRA

Rulebook.

1.3

Frequency of disclosure

The Society is required to publish Pillar 3 disclosures quarterly in accordance with the requirements set out in

Article 433a of the PRA Rulebook.

1.4

Non-material, proprietary or confidential information

The Society is required to publish Pillar 3 disclosures in accordance with Article 432 of the PRA Rulebook, which

allows an institution to omit disclosures if the information provided is not considered material or if it is regarded

as proprietary or confidential.

In accordance with Article 440 of the PRA Rulebook, the Countercyclical Capital Buffer template UK CCyB1 sets

out a geographical breakdown of the obligors for relevant exposure types. For materiality reasons, only those

countries where a countercyclical buffer rate has been set or which individually have an own funds requirement

weighting of equal to or more than one percent are listed. Exposures in countries where these criteria are not met

have been presented in aggregate as ‘other countries’.

In template UK OVA, point (a), the Group does not disclose key ratios, limits, and figures relating to its Board risk

appetite statements, as they are considered proprietary information.

There have been no other omissions based on non-materiality, proprietary or confidentiality.

1.5

Pillar 3 Policy

The Board has adopted a formal policy for the production of the Pillar 3 disclosures. The Pillar 3 Policy (Policy)

sets out the principles which ensure that the Pillar 3 disclosures satisfy the regulatory reporting requirements in

respect of the basis, frequency, verification and appropriateness of disclosures, and the governance and control

framework applied in the preparation of the disclosures. The Policy also ensures that the Group’s risk profile is

comprehensively disclosed and that our disclosures are comparable to other market participants.

1.6

Verification and sign off

These disclosures have been verified and approved in line with the Policy and contain the following key elements

to comply with the disclosure requirements:

•

Compliance with regulatory requirements, as set out in the PRA Rulebook, has been documented and has

been subject to risk-based review activities by the Society’s second line risk management function to

provide assurance over the reviewed areas of disclosures.

•

The Pillar 3 governance and control framework has been applied to the production of the disclosures; and

•

The standard of internal controls applied to the Pillar 3 disclosures is consistent with that applied to other

statutory reporting requirements.

These Pillar 3 disclosures have been reviewed and approved by the Board Audit Committee (BAC) on behalf of the

Board in accordance with the Policy.

“We attest that, to the best of our knowledge, the Pillar 3 disclosures have been prepared in accordance with the

Policy and the principles described within it”.

Notes

1. The buffer requirement in rows UK 8a, UK 9a to UK10a have been removed from the template as they are not applicable for

the Group.

2. The additional leverage ratio disclosure requirements only apply to financial institutions with deposits equal to or greater

than £50bn or with non-UK assets equal to or greater than £10bn. The rows UK-14a to UK-14e have been removed from the

template as the Group is not currently captured by either threshold.

3. In line with regulatory guidance, values are calculated as the simple average of the 12 month-end observations preceding

each quarter. Percentages may not sum precisely due to rounding of quarterly averages.

4. Per guidance, the values have been calculated based on a four quarter rolling average of quarter-end positions.

5. The Group applied IFRS 9 transitional arrangements for capital calculations under Article 473a of the UK CRR from 1 January

2018 to 31 December 2024. These transitional arrangements ended on 1 January 2025 but are reflected in comparatives and

did not significantly impact the Group’s capital position, as previously disclosed.

Notes

1. This approach is not applicable to the Group.

2. The advanced IRB approach includes £159.9m of non-credit obligation assets (30 September 2025: £56.5m), risk-weighted

at 100%. The movement is driven mainly by higher mortgage lending and additional factors, including increased RWAs due

to fair value hedge adjustments on fixed rate IRB mortgages, following a reduction in long-term interest rate expectations,

and the re-categorisation of the EIR accounting adjustment as a non-credit obligation asset.

3. The Internal Assessment Approach (IAA) is not applicable to the Group.

4. As permitted per Article 351 of the UK CRR, the Group has elected to set exposure to market risk at zero, as the overall net

foreign exchange position remains below the prescribed threshold.

5. The amount, which includes RWAs related to deferred tax assets and equity exposures subject to a 250% risk weight, is

presented for information purposes only, as these exposures are already included in rows 2 and 5.

2.3

UK OVC – ICAAP information

a) Approach to assessing the adequacy of internal capital (Article 438(a) CRR)

The Group holds capital to absorb losses. The Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) is the

means by which the Group ensures it has:

•

Sufficient levels of capital resources to pursue the corporate objectives as set out in the Group’s five-year

Corporate Plan in light of the risks it faces; and

•

Sufficient capital resources to trade through a variety of scenarios, including a severe recession, if

necessary, by applying appropriate management actions.

In formulating the Group’s five-year Corporate Plan, the Board takes its overall objectives into consideration and

evaluates them based on its risk appetites.

The individual component parts included in the ICAAP are challenged in the relevant executive committees before

the results are articulated in a single document which is reviewed and approved by the Board. The ICAAP is

considered by the PRA as part of its Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process, when setting the Society’s firm-

specific capital requirements.

Under the CRR framework, Pillar 1 sets out the minimum regulatory capital requirements for credit, market and

operational risks. The Pillar 2A assessment considers firm-specific risks not sufficiently captured by Pillar 1. The

Pillar 2B element provides an assessment of the additional capital required to withstand the impact of a stress

scenario.

The capital plan provides the baseline for stress testing analysis which considers the impact of alternative

scenarios on the Group’s capital resources and capital requirements and the actions we can take to manage our

capital position during periods of stress.

b) The result of the Group's Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (Article 438(c) CRR)

In accordance with the PRA Rulebook, this information shall only be disclosed by institutions when required by the

relevant competent authority. This has not been requested from the Group.

Risk management policies and objectives

3.1

UK OVA – Risk management approach

a) Risk statement approved by the management body (Point (f) of Article 435(1) CRR)

As a mutual organisation, the Board is charged with the protection of members’ deposits and bases its risk

appetites on avoiding strategies or business practices which would threaten members’ interests.

The Board’s risk appetites express both qualitative and quantitative boundaries that provide clear guidance on the

limits of risk exposure that are acceptable and in line with the business strategy. The defined Board risk appetite

statements are supported by a comprehensive range of metrics used to assess business performance and risk

exposure against its risk appetites. A key objective of the Group is to maintain strong capital and liquidity levels

above risk appetite. These measures are monitored by Senior Executives, and the Board on an ongoing basis to

help ensure that minimum regulatory requirements are met, and that the Group has sufficient levels of capital and

liquidity for current and projected future activities, using a range of potential stress scenarios.

The Board Risk Committee (BRC) is responsible for considering and recommending the Board risk appetites, and

capital adequacy and liquidity management policies to the Board. The Board reviews and approves risk appetites

on an annual basis or more frequently in the event of changes to the operating environment, with the aim of

ensuring that the approach is consistent with the Group’s business, and its strategic and regulatory objectives.

The principal risks are those that are inherent to the Group’s business model and strategy, as well as to the

economic environment within which the Group operates. During the year, each principal risk along with the other

key risks within the taxonomy are assessed for severity and evaluated based on its likelihood and potential impact.

Risks are managed through the Group’s internal control framework. These risks are actively monitored and

reported monthly through established governance structures, providing a consolidated view of the overall risk and

control environment. Further details on the principal risks and other key risk categories that the Group is managing

to meet its strategic objectives are set out in the Strategic Report of the Group’s Annual Report and Accounts 2025

on pages 47 to 54.

The Group Risk Management Framework (GRMF) also includes the Group Risk Taxonomy, which defines the

categories of key risks across the businesses and provides consistent definitions and terminology. This ensures

that risks are effectively managed throughout the Group and that all risks are appropriately identified, assessed,

mitigated, monitored, and reported consistently.

b) Information on the risk governance structure for each type of risk (Point (b) of Article 435(1) CRR)

Board

The Board’s terms of reference clearly set out its responsibility for the overall stewardship of the Group within the

context of the Group’s ‘principles of governance’ which are set out in detail in the Strategic Report of the Group’s

Annual Report and Accounts 2025 on pages 47 to 54.

The Board has delegated certain matters to its committees in order that these can be considered in more detail.

Further details on the specific roles and responsibilities of the Board and the executive committees are set out in

in the Corporate Governance Report of the Group’s Annual Report and Accounts 2025 on pages 73 to 76 and in the

individual Committee Reports on pages 84, 92 and 96.

In accordance with the CRD regulations, the BRC’s membership comprises only Non-Executive Directors. The

responsibilities of the BRC are delegated by the Board and are set out in its written terms of reference, which are

available on Society’s website at www.skipton.co.uk/about-us/governance/board-committees.

Skipton Building Society | Pillar 3 Disclosures 31 December 2025

11

Group Risk Management Framework (GRMF)

The Group has a formal structure for identifying and managing risks throughout the business. This framework is

designed to enable delivery of the Corporate Plan in line with the Board’s overall risk appetite and is based upon

the best practice ‘three lines of defence’ model which is set out in detail in the Board Risk Committee Report of the

Group’s Annual Report and Accounts on page 97.

Risk Culture

The Group’s risk management is built on strong governance and a culture that guides decisions across the

organisation. The Board promotes a culture that:

•

Understands its risks and applies proportionate controls to stay within risk appetite;

•

Provides clear, timely risk insight to support informed decisions at all levels;

•

Builds a skilled, engaged workforce that delivers good customer outcomes and recognises risk‑aware

performance;

•

Ensures that incentive plans are designed to promote good customer outcomes; and

•

Has an embedded and effective Whistleblowing Policy with supporting procedures.

The risk management process adopted by the Group is based on an end-to-end process for managing risks. It is

forward-looking and comprises elements for identification, assessment, mitigation, management and reporting

risk. Everyone is responsible for managing and mitigating risks and supporting a strong risk culture.

c) Declaration approved by the management body on the adequacy of the risk management arrangements (Point

(e) of Article 435(1) CRR)

The Board, as the management body, monitors the Group’s risk management and internal control systems. The

GRMF is being embedded to strengthen and mature risk management across the Group. The Corporate

Governance Report and the Board Risk Committee Report of the Group’s Annual Report and Accounts 2025, on

pages 70 to 82 and pages 96 to 98, provide further detail on the Board’s review of the framework of internal control

and compliance with the UK Corporate Governance Code.

d) Scope and nature of risk disclosure and/or measurement systems (Point (c) of Article 435(1) CRR)

Through an established risk management framework and governance structure, the Group has a formal

mechanism for identifying and managing risks throughout the business. Day-to-day operation of the business

naturally exposes the Group to a range of potential risks. Monthly risk management reporting is in place, which

includes monitoring against risk appetite, the current risk profile, emerging risks, and outputs from Group Internal

Audit. This allows senior management to understand the overall position and take appropriate actions. Risks and

risk events are recorded and managed on the Group risk management system.

e) Information on the main features of risk disclosure and measurement systems (Point (c) of Article 435(1) CRR)

Executive directors and senior management are responsible for maintaining an effective Group risk management

framework supported by strong internal controls. Further details on the specific internal control functions are set

out in the Corporate Governance Report of the Group’s Annual Report and Accounts on pages 78 and 79.

f) Strategies and processes to manage risks for each separate category of risk (Point (a) of Article 435(1) CRR)

The GRMF sets out the strategies, processes and governance arrangements that ensure all principal risks facing

the Group are identified and managed.

The Group’s risk management strategy is to ensure robust risk management activities are in place which enable

the Group to understand and mitigate its risks and in turn, support business strategy and the achievement of

corporate objectives through informed decision making.

Skipton Building Society | Pillar 3 Disclosures 31 December 2025

12

To support delivery of the Group’s strategy, there is an established governance framework in place. The Board

promotes the risk management culture by overseeing the development of risk strategy, risk appetite, and

supporting frameworks. The risk culture aligns with risk appetite, awareness, proactive reporting, and willingness

to challenge and learn.

•

Board Risk Appetite Statements

The Group’s risk appetite statements articulate the amount and type of risk that the Board is willing to

take, or avoid, in order to achieve its strategic objectives. The Board reviews and approves risk appetites

and its capacity on an annual basis or more frequently in the event of changes to the risk environment.

•

Risk Management

To enable an effective and forward-looking risk management process, risks are identified, assessed,

mitigated, managed and reported in a timely and accurate manner, in line with approved policies,

processes and procedures. This framework is designed to enable the delivery of the Corporate Plan in

line with the Board’s overall risk appetites and is based upon the best practice ‘three lines of defence’

model, set out in the Board Risk Committee Report of the Group’s Annual Report and Accounts 2025 on

page 97.

Communication, Monitoring and Review

Key and emerging risks are reported to the Board and its supporting committees, which are set out in point b)

above on a regular basis. The external environment continues to experience rapid change and the Group continues

to monitor material risks to business plans.

Stress Testing

Stress testing is an integral part of the risk management process used to assess the vulnerability of financial

institutions and identify risks under adverse macroeconomic and idiosyncratic scenarios. The Group undertakes a

range of stress testing activities as follows:

•

Internal Liquidity Adequacy Assessment Process (ILAAP)

Management completes, on at least an annual basis, an ILAAP outlining the liquidity and funding risks to

which the Group is exposed and therefore the level of liquidity that it requires both in a business-as-usual

scenario and under stressed conditions throughout the corporate planning period.

•

Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP)

Management complete, on at least an annual basis, an ICAAP to assess current and projected capital

requirements to support the current risks in the business and future risks arising from the Corporate Plan.

The ICAAP addresses all the Group’s material risks and includes stress scenarios which are intended, as

a minimum, to meet regulatory requirements. Further information on the ICAAP process is set out in

template UK OVC.

•

Recovery Plan

In line with regulatory requirements, management maintain a Recovery Plan detailing the steps it would

take to manage a severe stress scenario.

•

Climate Change Risk Stress and Scenario Testing

Stress testing is performed focusing on the financial risks associated with climate change and considers

how different climate-related scenarios can impact the Group’s business model.

•

Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book (IRRBB)

A series of regulatory and internally defined measures and stress tests are used to measure, monitor, and

manage the impact of IRRBB.

•

Reverse Stress Testing

Reverse stress tests identify scenarios which could cause the business to fail, i.e. reach the point of non-

viability, and therefore inform the setting of business strategy, and the Board’s risk appetites and trigger

points. The reverse stress testing scenarios also inform which actions need to be undertaken now to

minimise the impact of the scenarios which severely and adversely impact the Group.

A dedicated first line team is in place which manages and reports on Group stress testing, with oversight provided

by the second line Group Risk function.

g) Information on the strategies and processes to manage, hedge and mitigate risks (Point (a) and (d) of Article

435(1) CRR)

c) Information on the diversity policy with regard of the members of the management body (Point (c) of Article

435(2) CRR)

Ensuring Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in the Society is about building a culture in which the whole organisation

works together and in which difference is valued.

Achieving a diverse balance of skills, independence and experience shall be the key factors of any new appointment

to the Board where selection of the most suitable candidate will be paramount.

No candidate for the Board membership shall be discriminated against on grounds of gender, marital status, race,

ethnic origin, colour, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, religion, age, social circumstances or any other factor.

At 31 December 2025, three members (27%) of the Board were female. Improving this ratio and harnessing the

benefits of diversity will be a key consideration in all new recruitment to the Board. The Society is a signatory to

the Women in Finance Charter, which underlines the Board’s commitment to gender equality.

Skipton Building Society | Pillar 3 Disclosures 31 December 2025

e) Description on the information flow on risk to the management body (Point (e) of Article 435(2) CRR)

The principal risks and uncertainties are those that are inherent to the Group’s business model and strategy, as

well as the economic environment within which the Group operates. These risks are overseen by the Group Chief

Risk Officer (GCRO), who provides independent challenge and assurance, supported by input from other senior

management. They are discussed at the BRC and Executive Committees, and then presented to the Board for

further consideration and agreement, as appropriate.

The Executive Committees monitor and respond to new, emerging risks and changes in regulation or governance

standards. These are reviewed at every BRC meeting and are also assessed by the Group Chief Risk Officer through

day-to-day oversight and regular reporting.

The First line is responsible for regularly reviewing the overall risk profile, using inputs such as strategic risk

assessments, scenario analysis, risk events and losses, root cause analyses, and key risk indicators.

Both first and second line teams maintain a watching brief to identify when risk assessments require update for

new and emerging risks. The reporting process provides the BRC with continuous visibility into the Group’s risk

environment and enables timely challenge on risk-mitigation plans.

Further details on the Boards’ responsibility for risk management and the role of the BRC is set out in the Board

Risk Committee Report of the Group’s Annual Report and Accounts 2025 on pages 96 to 98 and in the Board

Committees and Terms of Reference on our website at www.skipton.co.uk/about-us/governance .

4.4

UK LIA – Explanations of differences between accounting and regulatory exposure amounts

a) Differences between columns (a) and (b) in template UK LI1 (Article 436(b) CRR)

The following entities are included in the accounting group but are specifically excluded from the Group prudential

consolidation on the basis that they are either not a financial institution in accordance with Article 4 of the UK CRR,

or they do not meet the own funds criteria set out in Article 19 of the UK CRR:

•

Amber Homeloans Limited;

•

Connells Limited and subsidiary undertakings;

•

Darrowby No. 5 plc;

•

Jade Software Corporation Limited and subsidiary undertakings;

•

North Yorkshire Mortgages Limited;

•

Skipton Financial Services Limited; and

•

Skipton Trustees Limited.

The above entities are neither consolidated nor deducted from own funds; instead, capital is held for the associated

cost of investment in accordance with Article 89 of the UK CRR.

b) Information on the main sources of differences between the accounting and regulatory scope of consolidation

shown in template UK LI2 (Article 436(b) CRR)

The balances within the Group’s Annual Report and Accounts 2025 are prepared in line with IFRS, whilst the

balances within the Pillar 3 disclosures are prepared in line with the UK CRR. This results in some differences

between the two documents.

The amounts considered for regulatory purposes shown in template UK LI2 differ to the accounting carrying values

under the regulatory scope of consolidation for the following key reasons:

•

Off-balance sheet amounts are included in line with Article 111 of the UK CRR, as shown in row 4. These

relate primarily to credit commitments for mortgages not yet drawn down and undrawn credit facilities

with subsidiary companies within the prudential group, and are reduced by applicable credit conversion

factors as shown in row 9;

•

Additional valuation adjustments (AVA) for prudent valuation are shown in row 5. The Group utilises the

Simplified approach to calculate prudent valuation adjustments which is 0.1% of the sum of the absolute

value of fair-valued assets and liabilities;

•

Exposures for retail mortgages measured under the IRB approach are not adjusted for accounting loan

impairment in accordance with Article 166 of the UK CRR. The accounting loan impairment is added back

in row 7 and is included in the calculation of the regulatory exposure;

•

Guarantees provided under the UK Government Bounce Back Loan Programme (BBLs) are shown in row

8; and

•

Other differences shown in row 11 are specific regulatory capital adjustments relating to the alignment of

balance sheet exposures to the regulatory exposures. These adjustments are related to the loss

attributable to effective hedge accounting on residential mortgages and the potential future credit

exposure add-ons for derivative financial instruments under SA-CCR. Also included in row 11 are certain

corporate exposures such as derivative transactions which are shown as gross in the financial statements

but are subject to collateral netting arrangements for regulatory purposes.

4.5

UK LIB – Other qualitative information on the scope of application

a) Impediment to the prompt transfer of own funds or to the repayment of liabilities within the group (Article 436(f)

CRR)

In order to ensure the greatest degree of flexibility in the allocation of capital, the Board aims to retain the optimal

level of capital in the Group. This general principle is subject to a number of regulatory, taxation and commercial

considerations which are taken into account before decisions regarding dividend payments from Group entities

are finalised. The Board considers that there are no current or foreseeable material, practical or legal impediments

to the prompt repayment of liabilities between the Society’s subsidiary undertakings within the Group. Prior consent

is required from the GFSC before any capital can be repatriated or dividends paid by SIL to the Society as the parent

entity.

Skipton Building Society | Pillar 3 Disclosures 31 December 2025

24

b) Subsidiaries not included in the consolidation with own funds less than required (Article 436(g) CRR)

In accordance with Article 19(1) of the UK CRR, from August 2025, certain subsidiaries have been excluded from

the Group prudential consolidation because their total assets and off-balance sheet items, individually or in

aggregate, are less than the lower of €10 million or 1% of the total assets and off-balance sheet items of the parent

undertaking.

The following subsidiaries have been excluded:

•

Amber Homeloans Limited;

•

Darrowby No. 5 plc;

•

North Yorkshire Mortgages Limited; and

•

Skipton Financial Services Limited.

c) Use of derogation referred to in Article 7 CRR or individual consolidation method laid down in Article 9 CRR

(Article 436(h) CRR)

The Group complies with the obligations set out in Article 6 of the UK CRR on an individual basis which comprises

the Society only and does not use the derogation referred to in Article 7 or the individual consolidation method in

Article 9.

d) Aggregate amount by which the actual own funds are less than required in all subsidiaries that are not included

in the consolidation (Article 436(g) CRR)

Subsidiaries excluded from the scope of consolidation are individually compliant with applicable prudential

requirements. Therefore, the aggregate amount by which actual own funds are less than required is £0.

4.6

UK PV1 – Prudent valuation adjustments (PVA)

Template UK PV1 has not been presented as it is only applicable for institutions applying the Core approach to

Notes

1. Retained earnings includes the general reserve and excludes amounts defined as other comprehensive income and independently reviewed interim profits which are included in row 3 and row UK-5a,

respectively. The movement in retained earnings since June 2025 was due to certain subsidiaries being excluded from the Group prudential consolidation on the basis of immateriality. Further details

are set out in paragraph b) UK LIB.

2. Comprises Permanent Interest Bearing Shares (PIBS) eligible as Tier 2 capital. In December 2025, the Society took the opportunity to simplify its balance sheet, by way of a liability management exercise

to buy back £25.0m 12.875% legacy Tier 2 eligible PIBS.

UK CCA – Main features of regulatory own funds instruments and eligible liabilities instruments

In December, the Society completed a liability management exercise to buy back £25.0m 12.875% legacy Tier 2

eligible PIBS, resulting in a one-off £27.9m charge, but delivering ongoing interest savings of £3.2m per annum in

perpetuity. The Group maintained strong capital headroom over its Minimum Requirement for Own Funds and

Eligible Liabilities (MREL), enabling £350.0m of non-preferred debt to settle at maturity during October 2025.

Notes

1. In April 2000, the Scarborough Building Society issued £15.0m of PIBS, comprising 6,000 individual shares and each one had

a nominal value of £2,500. These were assumed by the Society in 2009 following the merger with Scarborough Building

Society.

2. These are not typical dividend stoppers since, if the Society has cancelled a payment on a more senior ranking instrument

(i.e. a deposit or share investment other than a deferred share investment), it cannot pay on any of these PIBS.

Countercyclical capital buffer

Under the CRD V, institutions are required to hold a combined buffer requirement comprising a Capital Conservation Buffer (CCoB) and a Countercyclical Buffer (CCyB) to provide

capital that can be utilised to absorb losses in stressed conditions. As at 31 December 2025, the CCoB was 2.5% of RWAs and the CCyB rate was 2.0% of RWAs for exposures

in the UK. The Group’s specific CCyB was 1.8% of RWAs (31 December 2024: 1.8%) calculated based on the weighted average of the buffer rates in effect for the countries in

which the Group has relevant credit exposures.

The template below shows the country of residence of the obligor (borrower) for the Group general credit exposures and securitisation exposures. The diversification of countries

in the template below is primarily due to SIL providing mortgages to expatriates and non-UK citizens. The Group does not offer mortgages on properties outside of the UK or

Channel Islands.

UK LRA – Disclosure of leverage ratio qualitative information

a) Processes used to manage the risk of excessive leverage

The Group's leverage ratio is a key financial indicator monitored closely by the Board each month. The leverage

ratio is projected for the next five years as part of the Corporate Plan. The Corporate Plan is subject to stress tests

to ensure the Group is able to operate safely and with sufficient capital and leverage during a severe downturn in

the general economy and idiosyncratic Society-specific stress events. It is recognised that such forward planning

is essential to the successful management of the Group's leverage and capital ratios. The Board are satisfied that

the risk appetite, controls and planning framework will prevent the Group from taking excessive leverage within its

balance sheet.

b) Factors that had an impact on the leverage ratio during the period

During the second half of the year, the leverage ratio increased slightly to 6.7% (30 June 2025: 6.6%). This was

largely due to the growth of the balance sheet during the period, driven primarily by an increase in mortgage lending.

Liquidity requirements

8.1

UK LIQA – Liquidity risk management

a) Strategies and processes in the management of the liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group is unable to meet its current and future financial obligations as they fall due,

or is only able to do so at excessive cost, whilst retaining public and investor confidence. Liquidity and funding

risks are managed within a comprehensive risk framework, managed within limits and risk appetites defined within

the Treasury Policy.

The Liquidity Policy is designed to ensure the maintenance of sufficient liquid assets, in terms of quality and

amount, to cover internal, regulatory, and operational requirements. This is achieved through maintaining a prudent

level of liquid assets in realisable form to ensure the Group is able to meet its liabilities as they arise and to absorb

potential cash flow requirements created by maturity mismatches within the balance sheet or under a potential

stress scenario.

The cash flows are regularly monitored, forecast and stressed and risk limits are defined in the liquidity risk appetite

to ensure adequate liquidity is maintained at all times. There are also limits defined with the funding risk appetite

to ensure the Society maintains a prudent funding profile, incorporating limits related to the management of asset

encumbrance and the Society’s maturity profile to reduce associated refinancing risk of retail and wholesale

funding.

b) Structure and organisation of the liquidity risk management function

The Board is responsible for approving the Group's liquidity and funding risk appetites and is also responsible for

the review, challenge and approval of the ILAAP document.

The Board delegates to the Group Chief Financial Officer (GCFO) the responsibility for ensuring that the Society

and Group have adequate liquid and financial resources to meet liabilities as they fall due.

The Board delegates the responsibility to ALCO to develop and maintain policies on liquidity management and to

oversee that the liquidity and funding risk appetites and policies are adhered to. The ALCO also monitors the

composition of the Group's liquidity in line with the approved strategy and policies. ALCO are supported by the

Liquidity Management Committee (LMC), who meet at least fortnightly to review early warning risk indicators,

recent cash flows, and business performance relative to expectations along with projections of risk appetite

compliance given the latest forecasts.

The day-to-day management of liquidity is delegated to Group Treasury, with oversight and challenge of these

activities provided by Group Prudential and Enterprise Risk (second line) and Group Internal Audit (third line).

c) The degree of centralisation of liquidity management and interaction between the group’s units

Liquidity risk is actively overseen across the Group, with a strong emphasis on ensuring that the Society and each

subsidiary maintain robust, standalone liquidity positions, promoting resilience and minimising reliance on intra-

Group support.

The Society, through Group Treasury, acts as the central liquidity manager, balancing cash flow positions across

subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are encouraged to place surplus funds with the Society on a wholesale basis aligned to

their cash flow needs, while those requiring funding, can access capped working capital facilities approved by the

Group Wholesale Credit Committee (GWCC), a sub-committee of the ALCO.

The Society holds liquidity to support these facilities and to cover the risk of deposit repayment placed by

subsidiaries.

d) Scope and nature of liquidity risk reporting and measurement systems

The monitoring and forecasting of the Group's position against internal and regulatory liquidity risk metrics is

undertaken on a weekly basis, with the capability to monitor the position daily if required.

Skipton Building Society | Pillar 3 Disclosures 31 December 2025

38

e) Policies for hedging and mitigating the liquidity risk and strategies and processes for monitoring the continuing

effectiveness of hedges and mitigants

The Group has a range of limits and risk appetite requirements, defined within the Treasury Policy and approved

by the Board, to mitigate liquidity and funding risks arising from its business model.

This includes minimum requirements on liquidity and contingent liquidity resources which reflect the potential

impact of severe but plausible stress scenarios and the time needed to successfully realise liquidity resources

through the invocation of the Group's Recovery Plan. This ensures sufficient pre-positioned eligible assets are

maintained at all times with the Bank of England to access funding schemes under the Sterling Monetary

Framework, both from a business-as-usual perspective and also under a potential stressed scenario.

There are also limits on the types of assets which Group Treasury can invest in for liquidity purposes, both HQLA

which are eligible under the LCR and non-HQLA. The policy also defines a minimum limit of reserves required to be

held on call with the Bank of England to ensure the Group can meet its cash flow obligations, including intra-day

requirements, in a timely manner. The Group's liquidity comprises a diversified mix of Gilts and Treasury Bills,

securities issued by high quality Multilateral Development Banks, Covered Bonds and Residential Mortgage-Backed

Securities (RMBS).

f) An outline of the bank`s contingency funding plans

The Liquidity Contingency Plan is integrated into the Group's Recovery Plan. The Recovery Plan sets out the

management actions available to the Group to raise incremental liquidity and capital, the time horizon over which

this could be achieved, and the operational steps needed to execute the actions and associated risks. It also

contains the escalation process along with the roles and responsibilities of individuals and sets out how the

document links to the liquidity and capital risk frameworks, specifically its risk appetites, and the wider Business

Continuity Framework.

The Recovery Plan also sets out the early warning indicators used to identify a potential stress scenario which may

threaten the Group's liquidity resources or sources of funding. Scenario analysis is also undertaken as part of the

annual update of the Recovery Plan to demonstrate how the invocation of actions defined within the plan recovers

liquidity adequacy and risk appetite compliance in a timely manner.

g) An explanation of how stress testing is used

Stress testing is key as it is used to demonstrate the adequacy of current and planned liquidity resources, and also

the effectiveness of the Recovery Plan. Weekly stress testing is performed to ensure compliance against risk

appetite and additional monthly stress and scenario tests are performed across a wide range of situations to

assess the impact of a particular stress scenario occurring.

The ILAAP defines a series of internally developed stress scenarios, which assess the impact of a range of

scenarios of differing severities. These scenarios, which measures survival to the Board's minimum risk appetite,

include 90-day idiosyncratic, market-wide, and combined stresses. These scenarios, along with the regulatory LCR

scenario (30-day horizon), are run on a weekly basis to reflect the latest business forecasts and can be run daily if

required, such as if the Group were in a stress.

h) A declaration approved by the management body on the adequacy of liquidity risk management arrangements

The Group's prudent liquidity and funding risk profile, as demonstrated through the internal assessment of liquidity

adequacy and stress testing undertaken for the ILAAP, is commensurate for our low risk business model.

The ILAAP outlines the governance framework and the systems and controls used for managing liquidity risk and

how we prove to ourselves and the regulator that we hold adequate liquidity for our risks. The Group demonstrates

through the ILAAP and its liquidity and funding risk appetites, which are approved annually by the Board, that it

satisfies the Overall Liquidity Adequacy Rule (OLAR).

Skipton Building Society | Pillar 3 Disclosures 31 December 2025

39

i) A concise liquidity risk statement approved by the management body

The Group’s liquidity and funding risk appetites and management framework ensure that sufficient liquidity and

contingent resources are maintained at all times to meet current and future obligations, including under stress.

The Group meets the minimum 100% LCR and NSFR requirements, as shown in UK LIQ1 and UK LIQ2. Internal

liquidity appetites ensure adequate buffers to support forecast needs and maintain a minimum survival period

aligned to Recovery Plan actions and the thresholds required to avoid failure or resolution. Funding composition

and tenor are managed with the Board’s funding risk appetite, which sets limits to avoid reliance on concentrated

or unstable funding sources and to control refinancing risk.

UK LIQB – Qualitative information on LCR, which complements template UK LIQ1

(a) The main drivers of LCR results and the evolution of the contribution of inputs to the LCR’s calculation over

time

The LCR, which is prepared in accordance with the PRA Rulebook, aims to ensure that the Group holds sufficient

HQLA to survive a period of liquidity stress lasting 30 calendar days.

The Group LCR is driven by the size of the HQLA buffer, stressed retail outflows, mortgages which have been

offered but are yet to complete, wholesale funding maturities and potential stressed collateral outflows. Given the

Society is predominantly funded by deposits, withdrawals by retail customers continue to be a main factor affecting

net outflow LCR.

(b) Explanations on the changes in the LCR over time

Overall, the LCR has reduced slightly in the quarter, with an average of 186.7% as of 31 December 2025 (30

September 2025: 190.8%), with the main reason for the reduction being the repayment of a senior non preferred

issuance maturity in the quarter. The Group has seen continued growth in customer deposits which has supported

new mortgage lending, including greater commitments to support more customers to own their own homes. These

increased mortgage commitments result in higher potential outflows under the LCR calculation.

(c) Explanations on the actual concentration of funding sources

The Group’s funding position is predominantly supported by its retail customer deposit base, which has historically

provided a highly stable source of funding and aligns with the Society’s strategy as a mutual organisation.

The Group also raises both unsecured and secured wholesale funding to diversify funding sources and to support

the Group’s liquidity position. Sources of funding include deposits, certificates of deposits, medium-term notes,

capital, drawings from the Bank of England's Sterling Monetary Framework facilities, repos, covered bonds and

Residential Mortgage Backed Securities (RMBS).

Funding concentration by counterparty, currency and tenor is monitored on an ongoing basis as part of the Group's

internal liquidity and funding risk management frameworks.

(d) High-level description of the composition of the Group’s liquidity buffer

The Group’s liquidity buffer consists of Level 1 assets. Level 1 assets are primarily held as central bank reserves,

UK government bonds and high-quality supranational debt securities, with a smaller holding of Level 1 eligible

extremely high-quality covered bonds. The liquidity buffer also includes a portfolio of Level 2B assets, which are

high quality UK issued RMBS.

(e) Derivative exposures and potential collateral calls

The Group actively manages its derivative exposures and potential collateral calls, including both due collateral

and excess collateral, with derivative outflows under stress captured under the Historical Look Back Approach

which considers the impact of an adverse market scenario on derivatives. Potential collateral calls due to a

deterioration in the Society’s credit rating are also captured.

(f) Currency mismatch in the LCR

The LCR is calculated on a GBP equivalent basis only as this is the Group's only significant currency.

The currency risk appetite of the Group is low and any wholesale funding issuances denominated in foreign

currency are immediately swapped into GBP. Currency risk is monitored through the internal liquidity and funding

risk management frameworks.

(g) Other items in the LCR calculation that are not captured in the LCR disclosure

We do not consider anything else of material relevance for disclosure.

UK CRA – General qualitative information about credit risk

a) Risk statement in accordance with point (f) of Article 435(1) CRR, how the business model translates into the

components of the institution’s credit risk profile

The translation of the Group’s business model into its credit risk profile is set out in detail in the Notes to the

Accounts of the Group’s Annual Report and Accounts 2025 on page 249.

b) Strategies and processes to manage credit risk and the policies for hedging and mitigating that risk in

accordance with points (a) and (d) of Article 435(1) CRR, the criteria and approach used for defining the credit risk

management policy and for setting credit risk limits points

The Group applies a comprehensive credit risk management framework that integrates quantitative analysis and

expert judgment to ensure prudent lending and effective risk control.

Retail mortgage credit decisions use credit scoring, affordability assessments, and lending policy criteria,

supported by manual underwriting and model risk management. Exposure concentrations are monitored across

sectors, asset classes, and geographies to maintain portfolio diversification. Mortgage lending is subject to loan-

to-value limits of 100% for residential, 75% for buy-to-let lending and up to 100% for SIL ‘Next Generation’ products.

Stress testing and scenario analysis, including climate-related risk assessments, are undertaken to evaluate

potential impacts on credit exposures.

Arrears management forms an integral part of the credit risk strategy, with early intervention central to its

approach. Customers in financial stress are proactively engaged, and forbearance is considered case-by-case, in

line with industry standards.

Wholesale credit risk is managed by the Treasury function in line with Board-approved policies and credit risk

appetite. Counterparty limits are reviewed monthly, based on financial performance, credit ratings, and market

indicators, with exposures monitored for amount and duration. Intra-group counterparty limits are reviewed

monthly and any increases require GWCC approval.

Debt factoring risk within Skipton Business Finance Limited (SBF) is managed through due diligence, monitoring,

and controls such as concentration limits, credit reference checks, and the use of watchlists. As an accredited

British Business Bank lender, SBF offers Growth Guarantee Scheme facilities and a bad debt protection product to

further mitigate credit risk.

Policies and limits are defined in line with regulatory requirements, internal risk appetite, using quantitative metrics

such as loan-to-value ratios, affordability thresholds, and exposure caps. Limits are reviewed regularly to reflect

changes in economic conditions, portfolio performance, and emerging risks, ensuring the Group maintains a

prudent and adaptive approach to credit risk management.

The Group has established comprehensive risk management processes and policies to monitor, control, mitigate

and manage credit risk in accordance with the Board’s credit risk appetite. The Board is provided with monthly

updates on the Group’s credit risk profile.

c) The structure and organisation of the risk management function in accordance with point (b) of Article 435(1)

CRR

Information on the Group’s management of retail and commercial credit exposures is set out on pages 49 and 250

in the Group’s Annual Report and Accounts 2025.

The SBF Board is supported in its risk management duties by SBF client facing colleagues, an SBF enterprise risk

function and Group Internal Audit. These individuals also attend a number of the Group and Society’s Committees

such as the Retail Credit Committee (RCC) and ERC. Summary reports are submitted to the Group Board monthly

in line with the GRMF of reporting.

d) The relationships between credit risk management, risk control, compliance and internal audit functions point

(b) of Article 435(1) CRR

The ‘three lines of defence’ model (set out in the Group’s Annual Report and Accounts 2025 on page 97) has been

adopted as the overarching approach to risk management within the Group. The model ensures appropriate

responsibility is allocated for the management, reporting, and escalation of risk. Allocation of clear responsibilities

Skipton Building Society | Pillar 3 Disclosures 31 December 2025

for credit risk management ensures risks are identified, monitored, managed, and mitigated where required in order

that they remain within the Board’s risk appetite.

9.2

UK CRB – Additional disclosure related to the credit quality of assets

a) The scope and definitions of ‘past-due’ and ‘impaired’ exposures used for accounting purposes and the

differences, if any, between the definitions of past due and default for accounting and regulatory purposes in

accordance with Article 178 CRR

The Group considers a loan that meets the definition of default to be credit-impaired. The Group’s definition of

default for residential mortgages is aligned with Article 178 of the UK CRR. This definition is twofold, such that

exposures are treated as being in default when they are:

•

90 days or more past due on contractual payments of principal and / or interest; or

•

Subject to unlikeliness-to-pay criteria, indicating that the borrower is in significant financial difficulty.

A difference exists between the unlikeliness-to-pay criteria applied within the current IRB model used for Regulatory

Capital purposes, and the accounting (IFRS 9) model.

Under IFRS 9, the model incorporates a defined ‘probation period’, representing a period of sustained satisfactory

payment performance that must be demonstrated before a customer can be reclassified as not defaulted. This

probation period is not built into the current retail IRB model and, as a result, such customers are not captured as

defaulted under the CRR definition.

The Society continues to work with the PRA to update its IRB rating system to meet the latest regulatory

requirements. Until the new IRB ratings system is approved a temporary model adjustment (TMA) is applied to the

Society’s regulator-approved IRB model output at portfolio level. For further details, see section 12.

b) The extent of past-due exposures (more than 90 days) that are not considered to be impaired and the reasons

for this

All exposures more than 90 days past due are treated as impaired.

c) Description of methods used for determining general and specific credit risk adjustments

The Group carries out an assessment of impairment of loans and advances to customers at each reporting date.

For accounting purposes, all impairment provisions are calculated in line with IFRS 9 which provides for expected

credit losses (ECL1) based on the credit risk categorisation of the exposure. All provisions are considered to be

specific credit risk adjustments allocated against individual loans, and the Group does not have any general credit

risk adjustments. All assets are categorised into three stages as follows:

Stage 1

A financial asset which has not experienced a significant increase in credit risk since origination.

12-month ECLs are recognised and interest revenue is determined by using the effective interest rate

(EIR) method based on the gross carrying amount.

Stage 2

A financial asset which has experienced a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition.

Lifetime ECLs are recognised and interest revenue is determined by the EIR on the gross carrying

amount.

Stage 3

A financial asset which is identified as in default and considered credit impaired. Lifetime ECLs are

recognised and interest revenue is determined by the EIR on the net carrying amount.

d) Definition of a restructured point (d) of Article 178(3) CRR when different from the definition of forborne

exposure defined in Annex V to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 680/2014

The Group’s pre-approved definition of a restructured exposure is aligned with Annex V to Commission

Implementing Regulation (EU) 680/2014, and considers a default event to occur when a concession is offered

where the counterparty is in arrears. The PRA approval of the revised IRB models that reflect this regulatory change

has not yet been secured as set out in section 12.1.

1 ECL represents the present value of all cash shortfalls over the expected life of the financial instruments to determine

impairment allowances under IFRS 9.

The comparative table has been restated for SBF exposures classified as Stage 2 under IFRS 9 that were previously shown as non‑performing. A review confirmed these loans are neither 90+

days past due nor subject to unlikeliness‑to‑pay indicators. The change reflects a correction in presentation, not a change in credit risk.

The comparative table has been restated for SBF exposures classified as Stage 2 under IFRS 9 that were previously shown as non‑performing. A review confirmed these loans are neither 90+

days past due nor subject to unlikeliness‑to‑pay indicators. The change reflects a correction in presentation, not a change in credit risk.

10 Credit risk mitigation techniques

10.1 UK CRC – Qualitative disclosure requirements related to CRM techniques

a) The core policies and processes for on- and off-balance sheet netting Article 453 (a) CRR

The Group uses credit risk mitigation (CRM) techniques to reduce the potential losses in the event that a customer

or counterparty becomes unable to meet its obligations. This may include taking financial or physical security, the

assignment of receivables or the use of guarantees, credit insurance, set-off, or netting arrangements.

The Group’s legal documentation for derivative transactions does grant legal rights of set-off for those transactions

with the same counterparty. Netting arrangements for set-off of on-balance sheet exposures have appropriate legal

opinion as to their effectiveness and enforceability in the overall borrowing arrangements of legal group structures.

These set-off rights mitigate the credit risk associated with such arrangements.

b) The core features of policies and processes for eligible collateral evaluation and management eligible collateral

evaluation and management Article 453 (b) CRR

Retail

The Group employs a variety of methods and techniques available to reduce the credit risk of its mortgage lending.

New lending controls assess both the overall credit risk of the customer and their ability to service the mortgage

payments in a higher interest rate environment. The lending controls include the use of lending policy, application

scoring, income verification and an affordability model.

The borrower’s property remains the ultimate source of collateral and final recourse for credit risk mitigation in the

event of a borrower defaulting on their loan. The extent of mitigation is predetermined by the original and current

loan-to-value (LTV) assessed either through a valuation conducted by a suitably qualified professional firm or, in

lower LTV lending, through an Automatic Valuation Model or desktop valuation process, subject to conditions and

key assumptions agreed by RCC.

Commercial

For all loans secured by mortgages on commercial immovable property, valuations were undertaken prior to

inception of the loan by suitably qualified professionals with relevant expertise in commercial properties. The

Group re-values commercial properties with a balance greater than €3m (£2.6m GBP from January 2027) every

three years and may seek subsequent valuations as it is deemed appropriate.

For commercial property, insurance must be taken out and maintained for the duration of the loan to cover normal

property damage and must protect against insurable events. Other specialist insurance risk coverage may be

requested at the discretion of the Group on a case-by-case basis.

Treasury

The form of credit risk mitigation employed by Group Treasury is determined by the nature of the instrument.

International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) documentation confers the ability to use designated

collateral to set against derivative credit exposures in the event of counterparty default. Derivative positions and

collateral are valued daily and compared with counterparty valuations. Frequent (at least weekly) rebalancing of

the collateral reduces the potential increase in future credit exposure.

For collateralised exposures, the posting of collateral reduces the impact of the current market value to the

difference between the market value of the derivative and the ‘minimum transfer amounts’ which sets criteria to

avoid the movement of small amounts of collateral. Any valuation disputes are monitored and escalated through

established dispute resolution procedures.

The Group's Treasury Policy restricts securitisation investments to AAA rated tranches where the underlying

collateral must consist solely of UK mortgages.

c) The main types of collateral taken by the institution to mitigate credit risk Article 453 (c) CRR

Retail

Residential property is the source of collateral for retail mortgages.

Commercial

The commercial property is the primary source of collateral utilised for credit risk mitigation and in all instances is

secured by way of a first legal charge over the freehold or long leasehold property. The Group ceased originations

Skipton Building Society | Pillar 3 Disclosures 31 December 2025

57

of new commercial lending during 2008 but will consider alterations to present commercial borrowings on a case-

by-case basis.

Treasury

The Group is only permitted to receive and post cash as collateral or margin in respect of derivative exposures.

The only exception relates to cross currency swaps, used to hedge the interest rate and foreign exchange risks

associated with non-sterling denominated covered bonds, where high quality sovereign securities could be

received by Skipton Covered Bonds Limited Liability Partnership (LLP).

The covered bonds and securitisations are predominantly secured by residential mortgages.

d) Guarantees and credit derivatives used as credit protection Article 453 (d) CRR

The Group does not utilise credit derivatives. The only guarantees used as credit protection are those provided by

the UK Government relating to loans made under the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loans Scheme (CBILS),

Bounce-back Loan Scheme (BBLS), Recovery Loan Scheme (RLS) and the Growth Guarantee Scheme (GGS). The

current GGS period expires on 31 March 2026 and SBF intends to secure an allocation for the next scheme period

so it can continue offering facilities to new and existing clients once the British Business Bank confirms future

allocations and guarantee renewals.

e) Information about market or credit risk concentrations within the credit mitigation taken Article 453 (e) CRR

Concentration risk is the risk that the Group suffers disproportionate losses due to a lack of portfolio diversity

including being over-exposed to counterparty, sectoral, geographic, product type or other portfolio concentrations.

Retail mortgage lending concentration risk is managed within the risk appetite framework which is approved by

the Board, including specific sectoral, geographic and product type limits. The RCC monitors and reports on

concentration risks on a monthly basis. Exposure limits are monitored and controlled within the operational

underwriting area via system driven rule sets and strong mandate controls, where lending outside of policy is

controlled via a risk appetite limit. These cases are independently reviewed by the Credit Risk Oversight team.

The Group’s exposures are predominantly concentrated in the UK with some exposure to the Channel Islands

through SIL. Credit exposures are however diversified at a regional level and are controlled via risk appetite limits

which are subject to an annual review.

The ALCO sets policy limits to manage wholesale lending credit risk concentrations. Compliance with these limits

is monitored daily, and formally reported to the GWCC and the ALCO monthly.

1.

The June 2025 table has been restated to align with the UK CR1 template. Cash balances at central banks and other demand deposits have been reclassified and are no longer presented within

loans and advances.

2.

The comparative table has been restated for SBF exposures classified as Stage 2 under IFRS 9 that were previously shown as non‑performing. A review confirmed these loans are neither 90+

days past due nor subject to unlikeliness‑to‑pay indicators. The change reflects a correction in presentation, not a change in credit risk.

11 Standardised approach

11.1 UK CRD – Qualitative disclosure requirements related to standardised model

(a) Names of the external credit assessment institutions (ECAIs) and export credit agencies (ECAs) Article 444 (a)

CRR

To obtain the risk weights to calculate the minimum capital requirement for wholesale lending exposures, the

Group continues to use Moody’s and Fitch as External Credit Assessment Institutions (ECAIs). The lower of

Moody’s or Fitch ratings is applied if both agencies rate the same exposure.

(b) The exposure classes for which each ECAI or ECA is used Article 444 (b) CRR

ECAI ratings are used for central governments and central banks, multilateral development banks, institutions,

covered bonds and securitisation exposures.

(c) The process used to transfer the issuer and issue credit ratings onto comparable assets items not included in

the trading book Article 444 (c) CRR

The Group does not have a trading book; therefore, this requirement is not applicable. The narrative in points (a)

and (b) relate to non-trading book items.

(d) The association of the external rating of each nominated ECAI or ECA with the risk weights that correspond

with the credit quality steps Article 444 (d) CRR

The ratings from the ECAIs are mapped across to the Credit Quality Step requirements in line with the UK CRR.

12 IRB approach to credit risk

12.1 UK CRE – Qualitative disclosure requirements related to IRB approach

(a) The competent authority's permission of the approach or approved transition Article 452 (a) CRR

The Society has PRA permission to apply the Advanced IRB approach to certain credit risk exposures. The IRB

rating system uses internally developed models for Probability of Default (PD), Loss Given Default (LGD), and

Exposure at Default (EAD). This contrasts with the Foundation IRB (FIRB) approach, which uses internal PD models

but regulator prescribed calculations for LGD and EAD.

The Group calculates the regulatory capital requirement for credit risk using internally developed models for the

Society’s retail mortgage exposures. The Group also applies the IRB approach to equity exposures as per Articles

155 and non-credit obligation assets including cash in hand as per Article 156.

The Society continues to work with the PRA to update its IRB rating system to meet the latest regulatory

requirements. Until the new IRB ratings system is approved a temporary model adjustment (TMA) is applied to the

Society’s regulator-approved IRB model output at portfolio level. The TMA uplifts the expected loss (EL) and RWAs

to the level expected in the revised IRB models.

The TMA remains subject to change and may cause variations in the capital metrics. There have not been, and we

do not expect there to be, any material changes to the risk profile or strategy of the Society as a result of changes

to the TMA.

(b) Control mechanisms for rating systems at the different stages of model development, controls and changes

Article 452 (c) CRR

(i) the relationship between the risk management function and the internal audit function;

The risk-based reviews assess the following;

•

Ongoing development, and any changes for compliance with the Society’s control framework;

•

The quality of IRB monitoring, procedures and reporting; and

•

Compliance with Model Risk Management Policy and model risk appetite.

Group Internal Audit report any control weaknesses and track progress of remediation plans.

(ii) the rating system review;

On an annual basis, the GCFO attests to the compliance of the IRB model with the applicable UK CRR articles and

the PRA supervisory statements. An assessment of regulatory compliance is undertaken by the Credit Analytics

team to support the attestation which is independently reviewed by the Model Risk Management team. The

attestation is reported to the PRA alongside an action plan to remediate any gaps in compliance.

Any model developments or changes to the IRB models are subject to independent validation.

Model performance is monitored by the Credit Analytics team and reported quarterly to the Model Risk Committee

(MRC) and bi-annually to the BRC and the ERC.

(iii) procedure to ensure the independence of the function in charge of reviewing the models from the functions

responsible for the development of the models;

The Credit Analytics team are in the first line of defence and report to the GCFO. Developments and changes to the

IRB rating system are reviewed by the Model Risk Management team, who are within the second line of defence

and report to the Group Chief Risk Officer. This provides independence between the functions developing and

reviewing the models.

Skipton Building Society | Pillar 3 Disclosures 31 December 2025

65

(iv) procedure to ensure the accountability of the functions in charge of developing and reviewing the models;

The Model Risk Management team are responsible for the Model Risk Management Framework, and independent

review of the Society’s material models. The MRC is part of the governance framework and provides oversight,

review and challenge to these material models. The Model Risk Management Framework includes the Model Risk

Management Policy and model risk appetite, both of which require annual approval from the BRC.

Each model has a defined model owner and the model tier, which determines the proportionality of independent

review and level of governance that is applied. All identified models are recorded in the centralised model inventory.

The Head of Credit Analytics is the model owner for the IRB rating system. Group Internal Audit assesses first and

second line compliance with, and the effectiveness of, the Model Risk Management Framework.

(c) The role of the functions involved in the development, approval and subsequent changes of the credit risk

models Article 452 (d) CRR

The “three lines of defence” model operated by the Society, segregates responsibility for the development,

independent review and approval of the IRB models.

The first line of defence is responsible for the development of, and any subsequent changes to the IRB models.

The second line of defence is responsible for independently reviewing model developments and changes prior to

submission to MRC for approval. The third line of defence, provided by Group Internal Audit, provides independent

assurance to the Board (through the BAC) of the adequacy and effectiveness of control systems operating within

the first and second lines in identifying and managing risk.

(d) The scope and main content of the reporting related to credit risk models Article 452 (e) CRR

IRB rating system reporting and monitoring is undertaken quarterly, with a detailed monitoring report provided

quarterly to MRC. The BRC is also provided with a report covering model performance at least twice a year.

The monitoring process assesses the model against the model risk principles defined in the Model Risk

Management Policy, including whether the model performance and data quality remain within acceptable

tolerances.

A detailed annual review of the IRB rating system is undertaken by the first line, and is independently reviewed by

the second line prior to reporting to the MRC. Regulatory compliance is reviewed at least annually.

A Credit Risk Management Information Pack containing, information on IRB output, impairment trends, and

changes for specific customer segments is reviewed by RCC.

(e) The internal ratings process by exposure class, Article 452 (f) CRR

The descriptions provided in this section are for the incumbent regulator-approved IRB rating system as applied to

the Society’s retail mortgage exposures. The Society has sufficient history of default events to not be considered

as a low default portfolio. Therefore, robust PD estimates are made from the available data.

defaulting.

Accounts are mapped to a point in time3 PD from

application and behavioural scores.

Account level PD floor of

0.03%2.

Loss given

default (LGD)

This model estimates the loss that occurs following

an account defaulting. This includes the likelihood of

possession, the reduction in house price value and

cash flow discounting.

Portfolio level LGD floor

of 10%2 of the portfolio

EAD.

Exposures at

default (EAD)

This model estimates the exposure at default

considering interest rates and fees.

Account level floor at

account balance.

Definition of

default (DoD)

The DoD is primarily driven by payments past due with

some unlikeliness to pay indicators. These include

bankruptcy, forbearance whilst in arrears of two or

more months, an individual voluntary agreement (IVA),

possession, and specific provision.

Required inclusion of 90

Days Payments Past

Due in the Default

Definition.

Notes

1. The years of data is the number of years of loss or default data used in model development and helps to illustrate whether

the Society has a suitable history of data to develop IRB models.

2. A floor is the minimum value for a model estimate.

3. This model will change to the revised ‘Hybrid’ PD requirements which are set out in the PRA’s Supervisory Statement SS11/13.

Probability of Default

The PD model estimates the risk of a customer defaulting on their mortgage repayments over the next twelve

months.

Customers receive a score which represents the account’s risk of default. There are two scores for customers: an

application score and a behavioural score. Application scores are developed based on customer data available

from credit bureaus, and behavioural scores are based on observed account data and credit bureau data. These

scores are calibrated to provide a regulatory point in time PD with the application score used for the first two

months of the product and the behavioural score for month three onwards. Validation of the IRB models utilises a

range of statistical techniques to provide comfort that the models are fit for purpose.

Exposure at Default

The EAD model estimates the exposure at risk in the event of a default event over the next twelve months and

therefore forms part of the credit loss estimate. This is achieved by adjusting the balance by a modelled number

of repayments to the account, plus interest and costs added if the account proceeds to default.

Loss Given Default

The LGD model estimates the loss that would result if the customer were to default.

The LGD model consists of several models, detailed in the table below, which were built using internal data from

the last downturn in the economy. These models assess the likelihood of repossession once an account defaults,

the estimated sale value returned when selling a repossessed property, and the expected reduction in house prices

that would occur in an economic downturn.

The following table provides a high-level overview of the LGD models.

Notes

1. The years of data is the number of years of loss or default data used in model development.

2. The outcome period is the length of time an account was observed to determine the predicted outcome of the models.

3. The downturn method is the method of ensuring the LGD component estimates economic downturn losses as required by

regulation. A downturn is a period of time when economic indicators reflect a more negative economic environment for

example unemployment may increase or house prices may decrease.

4. Segmentation is a method of grouping customer accounts with similar risk.

Credit Conversion Factor

Off-balance sheet amounts for the credit commitments relating to mortgages not yet drawn down are reduced by

the CCF to consider the probability of the mortgage not completing. The CCF is applied to the exposure at the point

of completion and is based on completion rates previously observed across the portfolio.

The Society continues to work with the PRA to update its IRB rating system to meet the latest regulatory requirements. Until the new IRB ratings system is approved a temporary

model adjustment (TMA) is applied to the Society’s regulator-approved IRB model output at portfolio level. The TMA uplifts the expected loss (EL) and RWAs to the level expected

in the revised IRB models.

The credit risk RWAs under the IRB approach for retail mortgage exposures increased by £206.2m in the quarter to £6,205.1m (30 September 2025: £5,998.9m). The increase in

RWAs is principally driven by growth in the mortgage book as the RWAs in the quality of the mortgage book remained relatively stable compared to the previous quarter. The

movement in ‘Other differences’ is driven by to the re-categorisation of the Effective Interest Weight (EIR) accounting adjustment as a non-credit obligation asset.

The Society continues to work with the PRA to update its IRB rating system to meet the latest regulatory requirements. Until the new IRB rating system is approved a temporary

model adjustment (TMA) is applied to the Society’s regulator-approved IRB model output at portfolio level. The TMA uplifts the expected loss (EL) and RWAs to the level expected

in the revised IRB models.

13 Specialised lending and equity exposures

13.1 Specialised lending

The Group does not use the slotting approach to specialised lending therefore the following templates are not presented:

•

UK CR10.1 Specialised lending: Project finance (Slotting approach);

•

UK CR10.2 Specialised lending: Income-producing real estate and high volatility commercial real estate (Slotting approach);

•

UK CR10.3 Specialised lending: Object finance (Slotting approach); and

•

UK CR10.4 Specialised lending: Commodities finance (Slotting approach).

13.2 UK CR10.5 – Equity exposures under the simple risk-weighted approach

The template below sets out the Group’s equity exposures under the simple risk-weighted approach as at 31 December 2025. The exclusion on consolidation of the subsidiaries

set out on page 24 in UK LIB has resulted in a small increase in the Group’s equity exposures since 31 December 2024. Theses exposures represent the Group’s cost of investment

in the entities which are outside the regulatory group, as outlined in section 4.4 (a).

14 Counterparty Credit Risk

Counterparty credit risk (CCR) resulting from derivatives and repurchase transactions is calculated under the

standardised approach.

The Group holds regulatory capital in order to cover potential losses which could arise if the counterparties to its

derivative contracts or repurchase transactions fail to meet their financial obligations before the maturity date; this

is known as CCR. This assessment places a valuation on the risk that the counterparty will default on its obligations

before the maturity of the contract. In addition to this, the CRD V requires additional regulatory capital to be held

to protect the Group from exposure to potential mark-to-market losses that could arise if the creditworthiness of

those same counterparties were to deteriorate; this is known as a CVA risk.

14.1 UK CCRA – Qualitative disclosure related to CCR

a) The methodology used to assign internal capital and credit limits for counterparty credit exposures Article 439

(a) CRR

The Group regularly reviews and closely monitors the number of counterparties to whom it will lend. For those

counterparties with existing exposures, the Group, reviews both the amount and duration of any limits. The Group

also reviews the exposures to counterparties resulting from derivative and repurchase transactions as part of this

assessment. Netting and collateralisation agreements are used to reduce counterparty credit exposure; these are

discussed further in section 10.

Counterparty credit limits are allocated using a combination of external credit ratings and an internal credit

assessment, which together determine limits based upon a percentage of the Group’s capital. The processes for

limit allocation and credit assessment are documented within the Treasury Policy. ALCO provides oversight to the

effectiveness of wholesale credit risk management. Changes to wholesale credit risk are monitored by the GWCC

through the review of financial performance and changes in external credit ratings.

The GWCC also monitors the performance of mortgages underlying securitisation positions, including total losses,

defaults and reserve funds. Impairment testing and more severe stress testing are performed regularly. The

adequacy of collateral securing covered bonds held by the Society is also reviewed on a semi-annual basis.

The Group’s treasury investments are held to provide liquidity and 99.9% (2024: 99.9%) of these investments,

excluding exposures to a central clearing house used to clear derivatives to manage interest rate risk in line with

regulation, are rated A3 or better. The Group’s policy is that initial investments in treasury assets are A3 or better

(with the exception of some unrated building societies where a separate credit analysis is undertaken).

If the credit rating for an exposure is downgraded such that it no longer meets this rating criteria, the GWCC

considers the circumstances behind the change in risk, the maturity and value of the outstanding exposure, and

whether the exposure could be reduced or mitigated.

The Group measures derivative counterparty credit exposure values using the standardised approach for

counterparty credit risk (SA-CCR). Under this method, the exposure is calculated by adding the replacement cost

of the derivatives to the potential future credit exposure of all derivative relationships; the sum of which is then

subject to a constant multiplier, prescribed by regulatory requirements.

Counterparty credit risk for derivatives is mitigated by using legal documentation granting legal rights of set-off for

those transactions, and collateral pledged and received in respect of these derivative transactions. The Group is

only permitted to receive and post cash as collateral or margin in respect of derivative exposures except for cross

currency swaps used to hedge interest rate and foreign exchange risks associated with non-sterling denominated

covered bonds, where high quality sovereign securities could be received by LLP.

The Group has an indirect relationship with a central counterparty to clear standardised derivatives which are

subject to mandatory clearing under the EU regulatory requirements. Under central clearing, margin is exchanged

on a daily basis.

Skipton Building Society | Pillar 3 Disclosures 31 December 2025

77

b) Policies related to guarantees and other credit risk mitigants Article 439 (b) CRR

Collateral held as security for wholesale assets is determined by the nature of the instrument. Loans and debt

securities are generally unsecured, with the exception of securitisation positions and covered bonds which are

secured by pools of financial assets.

The Group does not currently use credit derivatives for risk mitigation in respect of wholesale credit exposures.

c) Policies with respect to Wrong-Way risk as defined in Article 291 of the CRR Article 439 (c) CRR

Wrong-way risk may occur when the credit risk related to an exposure to a counterparty is adversely correlated

with the credit quality of the counterparty. The Group has immaterial exposure to this type of risk as it currently

only accepts cash or high-quality sovereign debt securities as collateral.

d) Any other risk management objectives and relevant policies related to CCR Article 431 (3) and (4) CRR

As part of liquidity management, repurchase transactions are occasionally entered into by the Group with another

counterparty. Under these transactions, highly rated securities are sold to another counterparty in return for cash,

with an agreement to repurchase these assets at an agreed price at a later date. Counterparty credit exposure can

therefore result if the cash received by the Group is less than the market value of the assets.

For repurchase agreements, the Global Master Repurchase Agreement document is utilised to mitigate credit risk.

Valuations are agreed with the relevant counterparties and collateral is then exchanged in order to bring the credit

exposure within agreed tolerances.

At the reporting date, the Group’s exposure to CCR from this type of transaction was £0.6m (2024: £0.6m).

e) The amount of collateral the institution would have to provide if its credit rating was downgraded Article 439 (d)

CRR

If the Society’s credit ratings were downgraded, there would be no impact on the collateral required to be posted

in relation to existing swap agreements, other than the asset swap being provided by the Society to LLP and the

Balance Guaranteed Swap provided by the Society to Darrowby No. 6 plc. Under the LCR, the Society holds

contingent liquidity equivalent to the collateral which it would have to provide following a 3-notch downgrade.

15 Securitisation Positions

Access to wholesale funding allows the Group to diversify its funding sources and increase the term of funding to

assist in managing its basis and refinance risk. The Group carries out securitisation transactions using its own

mortgage assets as well as acquiring RMBS from other third parties.

15.1 UK-SECA – Qualitative disclosure requirements related to securitisation exposures

a) Securitisation and re-securitisation activities Article 449(a) CRR

The Group has an RMBS securitisation transaction, Darrowby No. 6 plc, which provides funding for the Society. The

transaction has a separate pool of securitised mortgage loans, under which it originally issued £700.0m of Class

A notes and £77.8m of Class B notes (the Group has fully retained the Class B notes). The transaction meets the

UK’s simple, transparent, and standardised (STS) criteria, and is notified as STS-compliant with the FCA.

The Group has not obtained regulatory capital relief from securitisation as significant risk transfer is not achieved.

While the securitised mortgages have been legally sold, they do not meet the de-recognition criteria for accounting

purposes.

In addition, the Group invests in senior, high-quality, liquid securitisation tranches originated by third parties. Those

securitisation tranches that are STS-compliant will also contribute to the Society’s HQLA position to meet its

regulatory liquidity requirements.

The Group does not have any synthetic securitisations or any re-securitisations.

b) The type of risk the Group are exposed to in their securitisation and re-securitisation activities Article 449(b)

CRR

i) risk retained in own-originated transactions;

Darrowby No. 6 plc issued £700.0m STS-compliant AAA rated Class A notes and £77.8m unrated Class B notes.

As at 31 December 2025, the Society held £168.9m of the Class A notes and all of the Class B notes. Significant

risk transfer has not been achieved in relation to the Darrowby No. 6 plc securitisation, meaning the Group retains

substantially all credit risk on the underlying mortgage pool.

The Class B notes provide subordination that, together with the general reserve, provides the credit enhancement

required to maintain the Aaa/AAA (Moody’s/Fitch) rating of the Class A notes. The Group is under no obligation to

support any losses that may be incurred by the securitisation transaction or noteholders. Noteholders are only

entitled to receive payment of principal and interest to the extent that resources of the Darrowby No. 6 plc

transaction allow.

ii) Risk incurred in relation to transactions originated by third parties

In line with the Board risk appetite, the Group's Treasury Policy restricts securitisation investments to AAA rated

tranches where the underlying collateral must consist solely of UK assets.

This exposes the Society to risks associated with underlying borrower credit quality, price movements in housing

markets, lenders’ underwriting policies, servicers’ capabilities, and the credit quality of counterparties providing

services to the securitisations (e.g. swap counterparties). These risks are mitigated by credit enhancement and

other structural features. As at 31 December 2025, 100% of purchased securitisation positions are STS-compliant

(31 December 2024: 100%).

c) Approaches to calculating the risk-weighted exposure amounts Article 449(c) CRR

The Group has opted to use the External Ratings Based Approach (SEC-ERBA) method to calculate capital

requirements for all of its securitisation exposures.

Due diligence confirms that the criteria for assessing RWA are met and is performed prior to purchasing any

securitisation positions, including STS compliance.

Skipton Building Society | Pillar 3 Disclosures 31 December 2025

85

d) A list of SSPEs Article 449(d) CRR

(i) SSPEs which acquire exposures originated by the Group;

The Group does not have any Securitisation Special Purpose Entities (SSPEs) of this nature.

(ii) SSPEs sponsored by the Group;

The Group does not have any SSPEs of this nature.

(iii) SSPEs and other legal entities for which the Group provide securitisation-related services, such as advisory,

asset servicing or management services;

The Group does not have any SSPEs of this nature.

(iv) SSPEs included in the Group's regulatory scope of consolidation

Darrowby No. 6 plc is included in the Group’s regulatory scope of consolidation.

e) Legal entities that the Group have provided support in accordance with Chapter 5 of Title II of Part Three CRR

Article 449(e) CRR

This provision relates to the calculation of risk-weighted exposure amounts under the standardised approach

therefore, this is not applicable in the context of Darrowby No. 6 plc.

f) Legal entities affiliated with the Group and that invest in securitisations originated by the Group or in

securitisation positions issued by SSPEs sponsored by the Group Article 449(f) CRR

There are no legal entities of this nature affiliated with the Group.

g) Accounting policies for securitisation activity, Article 449(g) CRR

While the securitised mortgages in Darrowby No. 6 plc have been legally sold, they do not meet the de-recognition

criteria for accounting purposes (the Group substantially retains the risk and rewards) and as such, the Group

continues to recognise the mortgages on the balance sheet.

Purchased securitisation positions are accounted for as fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)

in line with the Group’s Accounting Policy.

h) The names of the ECAIs used for securitisations and the types of exposure for which each agency is used Article

449(h) CRR

For investment in securitisations originated by third parties, the Group's Treasury Policy requires securitisation

positions to have an Aaa/AAA rating (Moody’s/Fitch).

Issuance from the Darrowby No. 6 plc securitisation have two ratings from the following ECAIs: Moody’s and Fitch.

i) Internal Assessment Approach Article 449(i) CRR

Not applicable as the Group has adopted the SEC-ERBA approach.

15.3 UK SEC2 – Securitisation exposures in the trading book

The Group does not have a trading book therefore this template has not been presented.

15.4 UK SEC3 – Securitisation exposures in the non-trading book and associated regulatory capital requirements – The Group acting as originator or as sponsor

The Group has one securitisation outstanding as at 31 December 2025, originated through Darrowby No.6 plc. No capital relief under the securitisation framework applies, as

significant risk transfer (SRT) has not been achieved. Capital is therefore held against the underlying mortgages on the balance sheet using the credit risk rules. Consequently,

this template has not been presented.

16 Standardised approach and internal model for market risk

This section sets out the Group’s market risk approach.

16.1 UK MRA – Qualitative disclosure requirements related to market risk

a) The Group’s strategies and processes to manage market risk (Points (a) and (d) of Article 435 (1) CRR)

The Group does not have a trading book and therefore is only exposed to market risk from our banking book.

Market risk is the risk of losses resulting from adverse movements in market indices, such as interest rates and

foreign exchange rates. These losses may arise given the impact on the Group's net interest income or the

economic value of the Group's assets and liabilities.

The majority of the Group's exposure to market risk arises from interest rate risk resulting from the mismatch

between repricing dates of the Group's interest-bearing assets and liabilities, principally fixed rate mortgages and

retail savings. The Group is also exposed to basis risk, where assets and liabilities reprice using different market

rates, and optionality risk resulting from customer behaviour given options available in products offered by the

Group (e.g. the option to repay fixed mortgages early). Foreign exchange risk is not a material risk given the majority

of the Group's balance sheet is denominated in GBP.

The Group's Treasury function undertakes hedging activities, such as transacting interest rate swaps or cross

currency swaps when raising wholesale funding in currencies other than GBP, to reduce the impact of market risks.

Market risk is managed within limits defined by the BRC, which are reviewed and approved on an annual basis as

part of the Treasury Policy. The ALCO is responsible for ensuring the Group operates within the Board's risk appetite

for market risk and IRRBB.

Metrics and stress testing used to measure the impact of market risk, including monitoring of compliance with the

Board's risk appetite for market risk and interest rate risk, are monitored weekly and reported to the ALCO on a

monthly basis. The methodologies and assumptions used in models to measure the impact of market risk are

reviewed and approved by the ALCO on at least an annual basis.

b) The structure and organisation of the market risk management function Point (b) of Article 435 (1) CRR

The Board is responsible for setting the Society’s risk appetite for market risk and interest rate risk, which is defined

within the Treasury Policy. Market risks are then overseen by the ALCO to ensure the Society remains within the

Board’s risk appetite, with the day-to-day management of market risk delegated to the Group Treasury team. The

Group’s Prudential and Enterprise Risk team provide second line assurance of the management of market risk, and

are independent of the Group Treasury team.

c) Scope and nature of risk reporting and measurement systems Point (c ) of Article 435 (1) CRR

The Group's appetite for market risk is low, with the main exposure resulting from IRRBB. IRRBB is the risk to the

Group's earnings and economic value resulting from adverse movements in interest rates. The Group allocates

capital for market risks as part of the ICAAP.

A series of regulatory and internally defined measures and stress tests are used to measure, monitor and manage

the impact of IRRBB. These measures include economic value sensitivity, net interest income sensitivity, economic

value of equity sensitivity, value at risk, earnings at risk, net margin duration mismatch and additional stress and

scenario testing of extreme but plausible events.

Further details on the Group management of interest rate risks can be found in section 17.

16.2 UK MR1 – Market risk under the standardised approach

The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk is calculated in accordance with Article 83 of the CRD V and is below

the 2% de minimis limit (2% of total own funds) in accordance with Article 351 of the UK CRR, therefore the values

have been set to nil and template UK MR1 has not been presented.

Skipton Building Society | Pillar 3 Disclosures 31 December 2025

91

16.3 Information on the internal Market Risk Models

The Group does not use the Internal Model Approach (IMA) for market risk and therefore the following templates

have not been presented:

•

UK MRB – Information on the internal Market Risk Models;

•

UK MR2-A – Market risk under the IMA;

•

UK MR2-B – RWEA flow statements of market risk exposures under the IMA;

•

UK MR3 – IMA values for trading portfolios; and

•

UK MR4 – Comparison of Value at Risk (VaR) estimates with gains/losses.

Skipton Building Society | Pillar 3 Disclosures 31 December 2025

92

17 Exposures to Interest Rate Risk on Positions Not Held in

the Trading Book (IRRBB)

The main market risk faced by the Group is interest rate risk which is the risk of loss arising from adverse

movements in market interest rates.

The Group uses a number of different approaches to monitor interest rate risk which are set out below.

17.1 UK IRRBBA – IRRBB risk management objectives and policies

a) How the Group defines, measures, mitigates and controls IRRBB for the purposes of risk control and

measurement.

Interest rate risk is defined as the risk to the Group's net interest income or the economic value of the balance

sheet resulting from adverse movements in market interest rates and the associated customer behaviour (i.e.

optionality risk). The Group's interest rate risk arises from its banking book as it does not have a trading book.

The Group’s interest rate risk appetite is defined by the Board. Responsibility is delegated to the ALCO to ensure

the Group’s exposure to IRRBB is managed within the Board's risk appetite.

IRRBB is managed within the Group's risk framework, which includes policies and strategies for managing interest

rate risk along with limits and measures used to monitor and manage the Group's exposure to IRRBB. Risk metrics

are monitored on a weekly basis with a monthly update of all measures provided to the ALCO. Governance and

controls are also in place for systems used to measure IRRBB and associated models.

The day-to-day management of interest rate risk is delegated to Group Treasury. The management of IRRBB is

subject to second line oversight and challenge by the Group Prudential and Enterprise Risk team and third line

assurance provided by Group Internal Audit.

The interest rate risks the Group is exposed to include:

•

interest rate risk / gap risk;

•

basis risk;

•

net margin duration mismatch risk;

•

optionality risk (the risk of the take-up by customers of options available in products offered by the Group

(e.g. the early repayment of fixed mortgages)); and

•

swap spread risk (for securities held as liquidity which have been hedged to manage interest rate risk).

b) The Group’s overall IRRBB management and mitigation strategies.

IRRBB is managed using a number of techniques and financial instruments to ensure the Group's exposure to

interest rate risk remains within the Board's risk appetite. These include:

•

matching offsetting exposures where possible;

•

interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps;

•

the design of products (e.g. appropriate early repayment charges);

•

structural hedging of the Group's reserves;

•

structural hedging of core non-maturing deposits (NMD);

•

pricing strategies which reflect the techniques used to manage interest rate risks; and

•

appropriate balance sheet strategy to ensure the Group remains within the Board's risk appetite.

c) The periodicity of the calculation of the Group’s IRRBB measures, and a description of the specific risk measure

used to gauge sensitivity to IRRBB.

Interest rate risk measures are used to quantify the impact to the Group's economic value or earnings resulting

from the adverse movements in interest rates and the associated behaviour of customers. Measures used include

the assessment of sensitivities to Economic Value (EV), Economic Value of Equity (EVE) and Net Interest Income

(NII). All measures are monitored on a monthly basis and can be assessed more frequently if required.

The Treasury Policy defines internal risk limits for these measures, which are reviewed and approved by the BRC

on at least an annual basis.

Skipton Building Society | Pillar 3 Disclosures 31 December 2025

93

Measures used by the Group to assess IRRBB include:

•

Market value sensitivity to parallel (e.g. 200bps) and non-parallel movements in interest rates;

•

Historical VaR which assesses the market value sensitivity of repricing mismatches on the balance sheet

to historically observed monthly yield curve movements;

•

Earnings at Risk (EaR) which assesses the risk to net interest income over a 12 month horizon (assuming

a static balance sheet) resulting from stochastically generated paths of future interest rates;

•

Net margin duration mismatch, which assesses the impact on net interest income from funding costs

rising without an associated change in either bank base rate or SONIA;

•

The six EVE and two NII shocks defined by the PRA;

•

The market value of treasury investments, including where swaps have been dealt to manage the interest

rate risk associated with fixed rate investments (swap spread risk); and

•

Target duration of structural portfolio investments.

Additional stress and scenario analysis is also undertaken, including considering the impact of optionality risk on

IRRBB. The Group’s capital requirements are also determined using IRRBB models for the ICAAP.

d) Interest rate shock and stress scenarios that the Group uses to estimate changes in its economic value and in

earnings.

The Group determines EVE sensitivities, including the Supervisory Outlier Test, in line with the PRA's regulatory

requirements on a monthly basis using the following stress scenarios.

•

Parallel shock up (250 bps);

•

Parallel shock down (250 bps);

•

Steepener shock;

•

Flattener shock;

•

Short rates shock up; and

•

Short rates shock down.

The impact on economic value of a parallel 2% movement in interest rates (up or down) of the operational portfolio

is measured weekly against the Board's risk appetite. The impact from other scenarios, such as historical VaR

which uses historically observed movement in interest rates, is also considered.

NII sensitivities are assessed monthly using the parallel shock up and parallel shock down scenarios. NII

sensitivities are also assessed using the stochastically generated path of interest rates determined through the

monitoring of EaR along with stress testing undertaken to define the net margin duration mismatch risk appetite,

which considers the impact of funding costs rising using the balance sheet forecast.

e) Key modelling and parametric assumptions used in calculating change in economic value of equity (ΔEVE) and

change in net interest income (ΔNII) in Template UK IRRBB1.

Change in Economic Value of Equity (ΔEVE) assumptions

The key assumptions used when assessing the ΔEVE sensitivities are in line with the PRA regulatory guidance and

include:

•

The ΔEVE sensitivities are determined by taking the present value of asset and liability cash flows in the

base scenario from the present value of cash flows in the shock scenario;

•

The balance sheet is modelled on a run-off basis over the remaining expected duration of assets and

liabilities at the reporting date;

•

Equity is excluded from the sensitivity calculation;

•

As the exclusion of equity leaves a portfolio of unhedged assets, which are matched by equity in the

Group's structural portfolio, this creates a loss exposure in scenarios where rates rise;

Skipton Building Society | Pillar 3 Disclosures 31 December 2025

94

•

For shock scenarios where rates become negative, a rate floor of -100bps is applied. The floor increases

by 5bps per annum for twenty years until it becomes 0%. The floor applied to the stress yield curve to be

used in the calculation;

•

Discounting is performed using the risk-free rate;

•

NMDs are assumed to reprice overnight unless they are deemed to be core. Core balances are assumed

to reprice linearly over a 4.7 year duration; and

•

Cash flows are determined through applying behavioural run off profiles, e.g. fixed mortgage prepayment

and conversion profiles of mortgage applications and offers, which is stressed under the six shock

scenarios in line with the regulatory expectations.

Change in Net Interest Income (ΔNII) assumptions

The key assumptions used when assessing the ΔNII sensitivities are in line with the PRA regulatory guidance and

include:

•

A static balance sheet is assumed, with maturing assets and liabilities reinvested in equivalent products;

•

The +/- 250bps parallel shocks are applied to implied forward market rates for the next year;

•

The impact on NII under each sensitivity scenario is determined over a one year horizon; and

•

No floor in rates is assumed, meaning any change in rates is assumed to be fully passed on to variable

rate mortgage and savings products (subject to contractual floors).

f) Modelling assumptions used in the Group's internal measurement systems (IMS) for purposes other than

disclosure that differ from the modelling assumptions prescribed for the disclosure in Template UK IRRBB1

Behavioural assumptions applied as the base case in the sensitivity scenarios are consistent with those used

internally when assessing the impact on economic value, which are reviewed and approved by ALCO on a semi-

annual basis.

ΔNII sensitivities assume that the +/- 250bps parallel shocks are fully passed on to variable assets and liabilities

(subject to contractual floors) along with reinvested maturing balances, meaning customer rates can become

negative. When considering the impact on NII using internal less severe scenarios, such as EaR, it is assumed that

customer rates do not fall below 0bps to avoid them becoming negative.

g) How the Group hedges its IRRBB, as well as the associated accounting treatment

Where possible, asset and liabilities are offset organically to hedge interest rate risk. The remaining interest rate

risk is hedged using interest rate swaps. Hedging is also used in the structural portfolio when managing a portfolio

of interest bearing assets which are funded by the Group's capital reserves to stabilise earnings in line with the

Board's risk appetite.

Foreign exchange risk resulting from raising wholesale funding in currencies other than GBP is hedged using cross

currency swaps.

The Group’s derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, are measured and held at fair value

within the Statement of Financial Position. The Group has elected to adopt the hedge accounting requirements of

IFRS 9 for all hedge relationships covered by those requirements. As permitted under IFRS 9, the Group continues

to apply the requirements of IAS 39 for derivatives designated in a portfolio fair value hedge, which is the case for

the majority of the interest rate swaps held by the Group. For further details on the Group's accounting policies for

derivative financial instruments see pages 233 to 239 of the Group's Annual Report and Accounts 2025.

h) Other information regarding significance and sensitivity of the IRRBB measures disclosed and/or an explanation

of any significant variations in the level of the reported IRRBB since previous disclosures.

Economic Value of Equity (ΔEVE) sensitivities

Of the six EVE sensitivities, the Group’s largest exposure is to the parallel up scenario, with a decline in EVE of

£175.6m. The most significant driver of this sensitivity relates to structural reserves hedging, with a decline in EVE

of £149.0m resulting from the exclusion of the Group’s own equity (reserves and PIBS). Despite the impact on EVE,

the structural hedging of reserves reduces potential volatility in the Group’s net interest margin arising from

changes in interest rates.

Skipton Building Society | Pillar 3 Disclosures 31 December 2025

95

Another significant impact relates to stressing the level of prepayments on the fixed mortgage and savings books,

which assumes a change in customer behaviour under the parallel up scenario and results in mismatches with

existing hedging profiles. These assumptions are reviewed semi-annually and approved at the ALCO.

Net Interest Income (ΔNII) sensitivities

The parallel up sensitivity results in a reduction of NII of £29.9m due to the change in interest income earned from

on-balance sheet assets and liabilities along with balance sheet hedging strategies, including the effects of the

structural hedge of non-maturing deposits.

i) Average repricing maturity assigned to non-maturing deposits (NMDs).

The average repricing maturity assigned to NMDs is 0.5 years. This is based on balances which are assumed to

reprice overnight (non-core) and those which have been assigned a term repricing profile (core).

j) Longest repricing maturity assigned to NMDs.

The longest repricing maturity assigned to NMDs is 5 years (60 months).

18 Operational risk

18.1 UK ORA – Qualitative information on operational risk

a) Risk management objectives and policies Points (a), (b), (c) and(d) of Article 435(1) CRR

Strategies and processes in the management of the operational risk

Operational risk is defined by the Group as the risk of loss, resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes,

people, and systems, or from external events.

The Group places high importance on the strength of the control environment and the operational risk management

processes. Operational risk management is integrated with both strategic and routine business decisions and is

considered a principal risk. The GRMF defines the principles, governance arrangements and accountabilities for

the management of operational risk across the Group. This is supported by the Operational Risk Policy which sets

out the underlying activities, responsibilities and reporting processes for the management of operational risk. The

operational risk management strategy is to ensure a robust and forward-looking risk approach is in place that

enables the Group to understand and manage its risks. This in turn supports business strategy and achievement

of corporate objectives through informed decision making.

Structure and organisation of the operational risk management function

The Board has delegated oversight of the management of operational risk to the BRC. The role of the BRC is to

ensure that there is appropriate consideration and assessment of future risks and stresses, ensuring that

management continues to develop robust strategies to protect the business and its customers within approved

risk appetite.

The BRC ensures that an appropriate operational risk appetite, policy and standards are in place to identify, assess,

mitigate, and report on the operational risks that could impact the ability of the Group to meet its business

objectives and serve our customers. Risk management awareness and understanding is embedded across the

business and supported by training. Everyone is responsible for identifying, assessing, mitigating, and reporting

risks, supporting a risk aware culture across the Group.

The ‘three lines of defence’ model, as set out in the Board Risk Committee Report in the Group Annual Report and

Accounts 2025 on page 97, is followed for the management of risk across the Group and ensures clear

responsibilities for risk management, independent oversight, and appropriate segregation of duties. The first line

has primary responsibility for risk management including identification of operational risks/events and

implementing appropriate controls and/or actions where appropriate. The second line provides oversight, insight,

advice, support, and challenge across the Group in identifying and mitigating risk and implementing the operational

risk framework and policy in line with Board risk appetite statements. The third line provides independent

assurance on the effectiveness of first and second line activities, specifically providing assurance that the

processes and systems of internal control are operating effectively.

Policies for hedging and mitigating the operational risk

The GRMF is reviewed on a regular basis to ensure it remains effective. The approach taken supports the

embedding of a risk aware management culture (using the “I AM Risk” approach i.e. Identification, Assessment,

Mitigation and Reporting of risk) to drive the right risk management behaviours to minimise customer impact,

ensure good outcomes, achieve corporate objectives, and protect the Group’s prudential and non-financial

obligations. Root cause analysis is a key element of the operational risk management and is used to identify the

underlying issue(s) that may result, or have resulted, in a risk crystallising. This process ensures causes are

identified, considered, and reported appropriately, and that associated corrective actions have been implemented

to prevent the potential for recurrence.

Scope and nature of operational risk reporting

Reporting mechanisms are in place to provide timely, accurate and meaningful reports which share relevant data

and information about the identification, assessment, monitoring, and management of risks across the Group.

Oversight and reporting arrangements are embedded throughout processes to prevent failures which could impact

members, colleagues, or the Group. The crystallisation of risks is captured through the recording and analysis of

customer outcomes, operational risk events and operational losses. This is used to identify any potential systemic

weaknesses in operating processes or controls and to drive action to prevent recurrence.

Skipton Building Society | Pillar 3 Disclosures 31 December 2025

97

In addition, external horizon scanning is completed to identify and assess potential emerging risks and threats.

Operational risks and events are categorised for root cause factors as well as against the operational risk

categories defined by the UK CRR. This ensures that the data can be reported externally and compared with other

industry data sources.

Further information on operational risk management can be found on page 51 of the Strategic Report in the Group’s

Annual Report and Accounts 2025.

b) Approaches for the assessment of minimum own funds requirements Article 446 CRR

The Group has adopted the standardised approach to calculate the Pillar 1 capital requirement for operational risk.

c) The AMA methodology approach used (if applicable) Article 446 CRR

The Group does not apply the Advanced Measurement Approach (AMA) for operational risk.

d) The use of insurance for risk mitigation in the Advanced Measurement Approach (if applicable) Article 454 CRR

The Group does not apply the AMA for operational risk.

18.2 UK OR1 – Operational risk own funds requirements and risk-weighted exposure amounts

The template below sets out the Group’s operational risk own funds requirement and RWAs as at 31 December

2025. As at 31 December 2025, the operational risk requirement has increased to £70.2m (31 December 2024:

£67.2m) driven by an increase in the Group’s underlying income over a three year period.

19 Remuneration policy

19.1 UK REMA – Remuneration policy

a) Information relating to the bodies that oversee remuneration:

(i) Name, composition and mandate of the main body

Membership and responsibilities of the Board Remuneration Committee (Board RemCo) are set out in detail in the

Directors’ Remuneration Report in the Group Annual Report and Accounts 2025 on pages 100 and 101. The Board

RemCo also has oversight and/or responsibility for subsidiary businesses that are part of our prudential

consolidation group and therefore in scope of the UK remuneration rules. This includes SIL and SBF. SIL is based

in the Channel Islands and is regulated by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission. The Board of SIL has also

agreed to comply with UK remuneration regulatory requirements where they do not conflict.

The Board RemCo ensures that clear remuneration policy and principles for the Society and the Group subsidiaries

are set and agreed annually. For the PRA and FCA regulated businesses, the principles set out appropriate

standards for remuneration design, governance, risk management, and, where applicable, remuneration for

Material Risk Takers (MRTs) as defined in the Remuneration Part of the PRA Rulebook and SYSC 19D of the FCA

Handbook (together the “UK remuneration rules”). The GCRO updates the Board RemCo on risk related matters

and provides information and insight as part of the risk adjustment process. The Board RemCo met eight times

during 2025.

The terms of reference of the Committee are available on the Society’s website at www.skipton.co.uk/about-

us/governance/board-committees.

Both SIL and SBF have their own Remuneration Committees which oversee their remuneration practices and

ensure compliance with the Board RemCo principles and policies. The SIL Remuneration Committee comprises

three non-executive directors and two of the Society’s executives. They met five times during 2025. The SBF

Remuneration Committee is comprised of the Chair, who is a member of the Society’s senior leadership team, the

SBF Chief Executive Officer and the SBF Chief Financial Officer. They met nine times during 2025.

(ii) External consultants whose advice has been sought, the body by which they were commissioned, and in which

areas of the remuneration framework

Information on advice received from external consultants during the year is set out in the Directors’ Remuneration

Report in the Group Annual Report and Accounts 2025 on page 117.

(iii) The scope of the Groups remuneration policy

The Society’s Remuneration Policy applies to all colleagues of the Society and the Board RemCo is responsible for

providing oversight on the appropriateness and relevance of the Remuneration Policy and pay practices. The policy

is adopted by our subsidiaries SBF and SIL. Due to SIL’s regulatory position, the remuneration of the SIL MRTs is

reported to the SIL Remuneration Committee, in accordance with the remuneration principles, and is approved by

the Board RemCo.

(iv) Staff or categories of staff whose professional activities have a material impact on institutions' risk profile

MRTs for the Society, on both a prudential consolidation and a Society only level, are identified in accordance with

the requirements of the UK remuneration rules. We identify MRTs by assessing individuals’ responsibilities within

their roles, and the potential material impact that role would have on the risk profile of the entities in the

consolidation group or on the consolidation group as a whole. The identification is based on the qualitative and

quantitative criteria set out in the UK remuneration rules together with internal criteria set by the Society.

Skipton Building Society | Pillar 3 Disclosures 31 December 2025

99

For 2025 there were 55 MRTs (2024: 79 MRTs). Those identified as MRTs include, but are not limited to:

•

Executive and non-executive directors and senior management;

•

Colleagues with key functional or managerial responsibility, including senior managers of control

functions such as audit and risk; and

•

Other risk takers, including those identified against the Society’s internally developed criteria, whose

professional activities could have a material impact on the Society’s risk profile.

A review of the MRT identification process, including the application of how the regulatory criteria is now applied

across the consolidation group resulted in a fewer number of MRT roles being identified for 2025.

b) The design and structure of the remuneration system for identified staff

(i) The key features and objectives of remuneration policy

As a mutual organisation, our approach to pay reflects the needs of our members and is consistent with our

strategy and values, whilst also being competitive in the talent market. Our ambition is to offer a fair and

competitive reward package for all, encouraging the right behaviours and customer outcomes. Our remuneration

package for colleagues (including MRTs) consists of fixed and variable remuneration.

Fixed Remuneration

Details on fixed remuneration and benefits for all colleagues other than non-executive directors are set out in the

Directors’ Remuneration Report in the Group Annual Report and Accounts 2025 on page 105.

Non-executive directors receive fees which are reviewed annually by the Non-Executive Directors’ Remuneration

Committee and are agreed by the Board. The Chairs and members of the BAC, the BCC, Board RemCo and BRC

receive additional fees to their base non-executive director fees. The Chair and members of the Board NomCo

receive no additional fees. The Group Chair’s fees are reviewed and approved by the Board RemCo.

Variable Remuneration

Variable remuneration for 2025 was delivered through the following bonus plans:

•

Senior Variable Pay Arrangement (SVPA) – executive directors and other members of the GEC participate

in this scheme. The details of this scheme are set out on page 109 in the Directors’ Remuneration Report

of the Group’s Annual Report and Accounts 2025;

•

Society All Colleague Scheme (including control functions);

•

Group Chief Internal Auditor Scheme;

•

SIL Executive Bonus Scheme – this scheme rewards the SIL Executive Committee and MRTs based in

Guernsey or Jersey;

•

SBF Executive Bonus Scheme – this scheme rewards the SBF Executive team. SBF also operate a

medium-term incentive scheme (MTIP) with Executive Directors participating in this scheme; and

•

Group Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) – executive directors and other members of the GEC may be

granted awards under this plan, which was introduced in 2025. The details of this scheme are set out in

the Directors’ Remuneration Report of the Group’s Annual Report and Accounts 2025 on page 108.

Incentive awards for MRTs are designed to achieve an appropriate balance between the fixed and variable

elements of remuneration, to support a high-performance culture and to encourage the right behaviours leading to

sustainable performance within the Group’s risk appetite.

The Board RemCo takes into consideration remuneration arrangements for the wider population in the Society

when determining executive remuneration. The Board RemCo has, for a number of years, invited members to vote

(on an advisory basis) on the Directors’ Remuneration Policy every three years and takes member feedback into

account when determining policy and outcomes. At the annual general meeting in 2025, members voted in favour

of the introduction of the updated Directors Remuneration Policy including the introduction of the LTIP. The next

member advisory vote will be presented at the annual general meeting in 2028.

Skipton Building Society | Pillar 3 Disclosures 31 December 2025

100

(ii) The criteria used for performance measurement and ex ante and ex post risk adjustment

The potential risk implications of MRTs’ remuneration are managed in a number of ways including the core design

of the schemes, the monitoring of business performance against risk appetite, risk profile and the requirement for

an agreed capital ratio to be met or exceeded for payments to be made.

To ensure that rewards are based on sustainable performance over a multi-year period, the Board RemCo conducts

a ‘sustainable performance assessment’ one year after the original performance year. The Board RemCo reviews

performance against the original scheme measures and considers whether the performance which generated the

award has been materially sustained in line with Board expectations.

If the Board RemCo considers that performance has not been adequately maintained, an adjustment of up to 25%

of the original award can be made to either current year awards or to deferred payments, subject to specific criteria.

The SIL Remuneration Committee conducts the ‘sustainable performance assessment’ for SIL MRTs and considers

whether risk adjustment should be applied to incentive outcomes.

The LTIP awards are subject to a pre-grant assessment as well as a future-looking three-year performance period,

at the end of which performance against pre-determined measures will be assessed and outcomes will be

confirmed.

The Society has a Risk Adjustment Policy which sets out its approach to ex-ante and ex-post risk adjustment,

including malus (i.e. reduction and/or cancellation of unvested awards) and clawback (i.e. repayment or

recoupment of paid/vested awards). The Risk Adjustment Policy is also adopted by SIL and SBF. Where the Board

RemCo determines that risk adjustment is required, payments due from the schemes and deferred payments (if

applicable) may be postponed, reduced, or cancelled for some, or all, participants. In certain circumstances, the

business may need to apply clawback arrangements and require repayment of an appropriate amount of variable

pay relating to the event which has occurred.

(iii) Whether the management body or the remuneration committee where established reviewed the Group’s

remuneration policy during the past year, and if so, an overview of any changes that were made, the reasons for

those changes and their impact on remuneration

The Society’s Remuneration Policy and Principles are reviewed on an annual basis by the Board RemCo who

undertook a detailed review of the Directors’ Remuneration Policy, in conjunction with members who were

consulted and voted in favour of the changes, and agreed to the updates to take effect from 2025.

As part this review, the structure of variable pay was assessed with a view to future-proofing the Society’s ability

to remain competitive in the market for executive talent and ensure focus on long term objectives. The Directors’

Remuneration Policy was amended to introduce an LTIP for the executive directors and selected members of the

Group Executive Committee. The scheme has a maximum opportunity of 75% of base salary for achieving

stretching performance over three years. In exceptional circumstances, the Board RemCo may make an LTIP grant

of up to 125% of base salary. During 2025 nine colleagues received an LTIP award.

(iv) How the Group ensures that staff in internal control functions are remunerated independently of the businesses

they oversee

For MRTs in control functions (Risk and Internal Audit), colleagues in annual bonus plans have targets and

measures weighted more or exclusively on personal performance to ensure the remuneration for these individuals

is independent from the areas they oversee, with no financial or other metric directly linked to the business areas

they control.

(v) Policies and criteria applied for the award of guaranteed variable remuneration and severance payments

Guaranteed variable remuneration is only awarded in exceptional circumstances and is always limited to new hires

in the first year of service. Any guaranteed payments made would follow the requirements of the UK remuneration

rules.

Any severance payments are made in accordance with contractual or other statutory entitlements and do not

reward failure or misconduct.

Skipton Building Society | Pillar 3 Disclosures 31 December 2025

101

c) The ways in which current and future risks are taken into account in the remuneration processes

The potential risk implications of MRTs’ remuneration are managed in a number of ways including the core design

of SVPA and senior leaders’ schemes, the monitoring of business performance against risk appetite, risk profile

and the requirement for an agreed capital ratio to be met or exceeded for payments to be made.

The Board RemCo retains ultimate discretion over all aspects of remuneration and has full oversight of bonus

schemes operated by the Group. This includes the authority to review, amend, or withhold awards where necessary

to ensure compliance with policy and regulatory requirements.

On an annual basis, the Board RemCo also seeks confirmation from the BRC of how the Society, Group and

executive directors have performed in relation to the risk objectives, risk profile and risk appetites set for the

performance year, considering the context and impact of operational decisions. The Board RemCo also considers

the views of the BRC and the BAC on whether there are any material issues to consider, (e.g. a significant risk

failing, regulatory breach or material error), which may trigger malus or an adjustment to the outcome of the

schemes. In such situations, the Board RemCo has the discretion to postpone, reduce or cancel current year or

deferred payments or to claw back payments already made.

d) The ratios between fixed and variable remuneration set in accordance with point (g) of Article 94(1) CRD

A ratio of 4:1 was set for the year ending 31 December 2025. All variable remuneration awarded to MRTs was firmly

within this ratio, as the Society’s annual bonus scheme maximums do not exceed 50% of basic salary. The Board

RemCo has the discretion to award above 50% in exceptional circumstances. The SIL Executive Scheme has a

maximum of 60% of basic salary and the SBF Executive Scheme a maximum of 30% of basic salary in respect of

the Chief Executive, all other participants have a maximum of 25%. In addition, SBF have a MTIP in operation

whereby the maximum award available across both schemes do not exceed 65%. The Group LTIP grant did not

exceed 75% of base salary.

e) The ways in which the Group seeks to link performance during a performance measurement period with levels

of remuneration

(i) The main performance criteria and metrics for the Group, business lines and individuals

For the Society, measures included in the SVPA and LTIP schemes for the GEC, including executive directors, and

the All Colleague Scheme maintain a clear link between the bonus plans and how they support and re-enforce

business strategy.

The measures used to calculate outcomes under the SVPA scheme, in which the executive team participates, are

selected because they directly support the Society’s strategic priorities and sustainability goals as set out in the

Corporate Plan. The targets set for each measure are determined independently by the Board RemCo to ensure

that the executive team is only rewarded for achieving demanding business goals. The total incentive opportunity

is apportioned across four main elements:

•

Financial Measures – including Group and Society profit before tax, and Society administrative expenses;

•

Customer Growth Measures – including Society net customer satisfaction;

•

ESG Dashboard – including measures to achieve our diversity targets, and our desired colleague

engagement and culture; and

•

Personal Objectives – including what has been delivered and how it has been delivered.

More details on the SVPA can be found in the Directors’ Remuneration Report in the Group’s Annual Report and

Accounts 2025 on pages 109 and 115.

The key measures and targets featured in the SVPA are cascaded through the Society All Colleague schemes. This

common structure helps build a shared commitment to our purpose and strategy and ensures colleagues at all

levels in the Society are rewarded in a way that recognises our collective success. Personal performance is also

rewarded, again taking into consideration what has been delivered and how, measured against the Society’s

individual conduct and behaviours framework. The weightings for this scheme differ to the SVPA scheme to

recognise the different focus between the executive, senior leader and colleague roles.

Skipton Building Society | Pillar 3 Disclosures 31 December 2025

102

The measures used to calculate the outcomes under the LTIP scheme, under which the executive team may receive

grants are selected as they directly support the Society’s long-term strategic priorities. The targets set for each

measure are determined independently by the Board RemCo to ensure that the executive team is only rewarded

for achieving demanding business goals. The total incentive opportunity is apportioned across two main elements:

•

Financial – Adjusted Group profit after tax and Growth in mortgage balances.

•

Basket of strategic milestones (linked to corporate plan) and Risk scorecard.

Further details of the measures, targets and performance outcomes for 2025 can be found in the Directors’

Remuneration Report set out in the Annual Report and Accounts 2025 on pages 100 to 117.

The Society must meet minimum performance thresholds before any of the schemes will pay out. If these

thresholds are not met, then bonus amounts could be adjusted or reduced to zero. The Board RemCo must also

be satisfied that there are no significant current or future conduct, reputational, financial, or operational risks or

other reasons why the awards would not be made. This is done in conjunction with the BRC and the BAC.

To receive an award under any of the plans, all MRTs must meet a satisfactory level of individual performance

which is assessed against objectives and against conduct and behaviours. Awards can be scaled back to zero if

an MRT does not meet a satisfactory level of performance.

The SIL Executive Bonus Scheme, in which all MRTs employed by SIL participate, is based on a mix of corporate

objectives including financial, commercial and audit quality measures. The remainder of the award is based on

performance against personal objectives which is assessed through the annual appraisal process.

SBF employees who are MRTs all participate in the SBF Executive Bonus Scheme and the SBF MTIP. The SBF

Executive Bonus Scheme has two performance measures: profit achievement (70%) and individual performance

objectives (30%). The MTIP, which is designed to reward performance against two independent measures of SBF

profit (70%) and the delivery of the client and employee strategy (30%). Employee strategy is determined against

achievement of targets for a combination of client satisfaction score (15%) and the employee satisfaction score

(15%).

(ii) How amounts of individual variable remuneration are linked to institution-wide and individual performance

For all Society, SIL and SBF Bonus Schemes there is an on-target and maximum opportunity for colleagues. These

are set at the start of the performance year and reflect the individual’s role and seniority. Individual award outcomes

are assessed against the measures detailed above and their individual performance objectives. All colleagues have

a review to discuss their performance against their individual annual objectives.

(iii) The criteria used to determine the balance between different types of instruments awarded including shares,

equivalent ownership interest, options and other instruments

In line with regulatory requirements, where 50% of total variable remuneration must be delivered as an instrument,

the Society uses “contingent cash” awards to fulfil the requirement. As a mutual, the Society does not have other

forms of non-cash instrument which would meet regulatory requirements. The instrument is subject to a write-

down if the CET1 ratio falls below a prescribed level.

The use of contingent cash also applies to any MRTs who are employed by SIL and SBF.

(iv) The measures the Group will implement to adjust variable remuneration in the event that performance metrics

are weak, including the institution’s criteria for determining “weak” performance metrics

The Society’s performance is assessed against a balanced scorecard of measures under all variable pay plans.

These include a range of financial and non-financial measures linked to the Society’s Corporate Plan.

Each year, at the start of the performance period, the Board RemCo and the subsidiary Remuneration Committees

determine the maximum, target and threshold levels of performance which must be met for bonus schemes to pay

out awards. All variable pay including the SVPA and the LTIP plans are subject to an annual robust risk assessment

in advance of any payments being made, with input from the BRC and the BAC provided for consideration as part

of the annual risk assessment process.

Skipton Building Society | Pillar 3 Disclosures 31 December 2025

103

The Society must meet minimum performance thresholds before any award will be made on any of the bonus

schemes. If these thresholds are not met, then bonus amounts could be scaled back or reduced to zero. In

consideration of any formulaic outcomes of the measures and financial thresholds, the Board RemCo determines

whether the outcomes are a true reflection of performance or whether any further adjustments should be applied.

The Board RemCo must also be satisfied that there are no significant current or future conduct, reputational,

financial, or operational risks or other reasons why the awards would not be made. Information for the annual risk

assessment is provided by the BRC, the BAC and the GCRO.

f) The ways in which the institution seeks to adjust remuneration to take account of long-term performance

(i) The Group’s policy on deferral, payout in instrument, retention periods and vesting of variable remuneration

including where it is different among staff or categories of staff

For 2025 the Society has chosen to make use of the possibility of applying the updated PRA rules in relation to

2025 remuneration, including applying deferral lengths and payment in instruments beyond the minimums set by

the regulators. All MRTs, across all schemes, are subject to the applicable UK remuneration rules. Under this

regulatory framework MRTs who trigger the de minimis thresholds (i.e. variable pay greater than £44,000 or in

excess of 33% of total remuneration) are subject to regulatory deferral.

For MRTs who receive variable pay totalling £660,000 or more, at least 40% of the first £660,000 will be deferred

and at least 60% of any amount over £660,000 will be deferred. All other MRTs have 40% of their variable

remuneration deferred.

Where remuneration exceeds the de minimis threshold, at least 50% of the variable remuneration must be delivered

in an instrument which meets regulatory requirements. For the Society, SBF and SIL, this means that at least 50%

of variable pay is provided as contingent cash, which is subject to write-down if the CET1 ratio falls below an agreed

level.

For Executive Directors, a five-year deferral period applies. For all other MRTs the deferral period is four years.

(ii) The Group’s criteria for ex post adjustments (malus during deferral and clawback after vesting, if permitted by

national law)

All variable pay of MRTs is subject to malus (where deferral is applied) and clawback arrangements. The upfront

portion of the awards is subject to a one-year clawback period, the deferred awards are subject to clawback for

between five and seven years from when the award was made. For certain MRTs who perform a PRA or FCA senior

management function, awards can be subject to clawback for up to ten years.

The following events provide examples of where malus and or clawback may be considered. This is not an

exhaustive list, and other significant events may be taken into account at the discretion of the relevant

remuneration committee:

•

A live disciplinary warning or behaviour which is detrimental to the Society or one of its businesses;

•

A material failure in risk management;

•

A material downturn in financial performance such that the firm’s financial position does not warrant the

payment of bonus at the prescribed level. This could include but is not limited to a significant deterioration

in capital;

•

Failure to meet appropriate standards of fitness and propriety;

•

Conduct rule breaches; and

•

The business has suffered product failure; an adverse customer impact; a significant process or control

failure or some other significant failing.

During an internal or external investigation into a risk event, any unvested variable pay may be frozen pending the

outcome and communication to the individuals affected.

(iii) Where applicable, shareholding requirements that may be imposed on identified staff

This is not applicable given Society’s mutual status.

Skipton Building Society | Pillar 3 Disclosures 31 December 2025

104

g) The main parameters and rationale for any variable components scheme and any other non-cash benefit in

accordance with point (f) of Article 450(1) CRR

The Society’s performance is assessed against clearly articulated strategic objectives taken from the Corporate

Plan. For 2025 these were:

•

Help more people have a home;

•

Make money work harder; and

•

Make membership matter.

The Board RemCo uses the focus from the Corporate Plan to set challenging business performance measures to

be used to assess performance for variable pay, further details are included in section (e) and in the Directors

Remuneration Report set out in the Group Annual Report and Accounts 2025 on pages 100 to 117. Individual

performance is also rewarded in our bonus schemes with personal objectives aligned to the Corporate Plan and

the behaviour framework.

SIL and SBF follow the same process against their own Corporate Plan objectives.

h) Upon demand from the relevant Member State or competent authority, the total remuneration for each member

of the management body or senior management

In accordance with the PRA Rulebook, this information shall only be disclosed by institutions when required by the

relevant competent authority. This has not been requested from the Group.

i) Whether the Group benefits from a derogation laid down in Article 94(3) CRD in accordance with point (k) of

Article 450(1) CRR

The Society benefits from the possibility of not having to apply certain UK remuneration rules to those MRTs whose

annual variable remuneration does not exceed £44,000 and does not represent more than one-third of their total

annual remuneration (the de minimis criteria). For MRTs meeting these criteria, we do not apply the rules relating

to:

•

the pay-out of variable remuneration in retained shares or other instruments; and

•

the deferral of variable remuneration.

36 MRTs benefited from a derogation in 2025. Their total remuneration, split into fixed and variable remuneration,

is shown in the table below.

20.4 UK AE4 – Accompanying narrative information

a) Information on asset encumbrance

The asset encumbrance disclosure templates have been compiled in accordance with the UK CRR regulatory

reporting requirements. These numbers reflect European Banking Authority (EBA) methodology and, as such, may

differ from the disclosures contained in the Group’s Annual Report and Accounts 2025 due to differences in the

definitions of encumbrance for certain assets.

In all asset encumbrance disclosure templates, the values disclosed are the median of the sums of the four

quarterly end-of-period values during the financial year as prescribed by regulatory requirements. The consolidation

scope applied for the purposes of asset encumbrance is consistent with those applied for liquidity requirements.

There are no differences between the treatment of transactions which have been deemed to have been pledged or

transferred compared to their encumbrance status.

Asset encumbrance generally occurs through the pledging of assets to secured creditors, as collateral, or to credit

enhance financial transactions. Such assets become unavailable for other purposes.

Operational Continuity in Resolution (OCIR) funds are held to ensure operational continuity in resolution and cannot

be freely used for other purposes. Although they are not sold, transferred, or pledged under contractual

arrangements, they are operationally restricted by regulatory requirements. For this reason, we classify them as

encumbered for the purposes of asset encumbrance reporting.

b) Information on the impact of the business model on assets encumbrance and the importance of encumbrance

to the Group’s business model

The Group uses repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions as part of its everyday liquidity

management and has a range of counterparties whereby assets may be encumbered in order to raise funding.

Assets are solely encumbered at the Society level. The Group operates within an asset encumbrance limit, set by

the Board and reviewed on a regular basis.

Mortgage assets are used in long-term secured funding transactions such as securitisations, covered bonds and

Bank of England schemes. The Group has issued RMBS through its Darrowby Programme and it has issued covered

bonds from its regulated Covered Bond programme. Additional asset encumbrance arises from the Society’s

participation in facilities offered by the Bank of England, which it may access from time to time. The majority of

the Group’s asset encumbrance arises through secured funding issuances. Row 120 of template UK AE1 primarily

relates to loans and advances, with encumbrance arising where mortgages are used as collateral for secured

funding programmes, with the corresponding liabilities included in Row 010 of template UK AE3.

The Society’s secured funding transactions have a level of over-collateralisation which is classed as encumbered

and is monitored as part of the business-as-usual process. The Society has a prudent level of over-collateralisation

within its transactions which helps to mitigate risks. If the Society has retained any bonds issued under the Covered

Bond programme or its Darrowby programme, then the element retained together with an equal percentage of the

over-collateralisation is classed as unencumbered. All encumbered assets are denominated in sterling as they

primarily relate to mortgages originated in the UK or securities denominated in sterling.

The majority of unencumbered assets comprise owner occupied or buy-to-let mortgages, providing potential

additional contingent funding capacity. The underlying assets and cover pool assets related to any retained

securities issued from the Society’s secured funding programmes are treated as unencumbered from a regulatory

reporting perspective to the extent that the retained securities are unencumbered. As at 31 December 2025, the

Society held retained assets totalling £233.3m from its RMBS programmes, of which £125.3m is encumbered to

meet the Group’s OCIR commitments.

Glossary

Set out below are the definitions of terms used within the Pillar 3 disclosures to assist the reader and to facilitate

comparison with other financial institutions:

Arrears

A customer is in arrears when they are behind in fulfilling their obligations with the result

that an outstanding loan commitment is overdue.

Asset backed securities (ABS)

An asset backed security is a security whose value and income payments are derived

from and collateralised (or ‘backed’) by a specified pool of underlying assets. Typically,

these assets are pools of residential or commercial mortgages.

Additional Tier 1 capital (AT1)

Additional Tier 1 capital consists of paid-up capital instruments that do not qualify as

CET1 capital.

Buy-to-let mortgages

Mortgages offered to customers purchasing residential property to be rented to others

to generate a rental income.

Common Equity Tier 1 capital

(CET1)

Common Equity Tier 1 capital primarily comprises internally generated capital from

retained profits, less regulatory adjustments. CET1 capital is fully loss absorbing.

Covered bonds

Debt securities backed by a portfolio of mortgages that are segregated from the issuer’s

other assets to be solely for the benefit of the holders of the covered bonds. The Group

has established covered bonds as part of its funding activities. Covered bonds use retail

/ residential mortgages as the asset pool.

Credit Valuation Adjustment

(CVA)

The adjustment applied to the fair value of derivatives for potential mark-to-market

losses due to credit quality deterioration of a counterparty (that does not necessarily

default).

Capital Requirements Directive V

(CRD V)

CRD V became effective on 28 December 2020 and is made up of the Capital

Requirements Directive (CRD) and the Capital Requirements Regulation (UK CRR).

Debt securities

Assets representing certificates of indebtedness of credit institutions, public bodies, or

other undertakings.

Debt securities in issue

Transferable certificates of indebtedness of the Group to the bearer of the certificates.

These are liabilities of the Group and can include certificates of deposit.

Derivative financial instruments

A derivative financial instrument is a type of financial instrument (or an agreement

between two parties) that has a value based on the underlying asset, index, or reference

rate it is linked to. The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its

exposures to market risks such as interest rate risk and currency risk.

Effective interest rate (EIR)

method

The method used to measure the carrying value of a financial asset or liability measured

at amortised cost and to allocate associated interest income or expense over the

relevant period.

Expected Credit Loss (ECL)

The present value of all cash shortfalls over the expected life of the financial instrument

to determine impairment loss allowances under IFRS 9.

Exposure at default (EAD)

The expected outstanding balance of an asset at the time of default.

Fair value

Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled,

between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's-length transaction.

Fair value through other

comprehensive income (FVOCI)

Financial instruments held at fair value in the Statement of Financial Position, with

changes in fair value recognised through other comprehensive income.

Fair value through profit or loss

(FVTPL)

Financial instruments held at fair value in the Statement of Financial Position, with

changes in fair value recognised through the Income Statement.

Financial Services Compensation

Scheme (FSCS)

The UK's compensation fund of last resort for customers of authorised financial

services firms. The FSCS may pay compensation to customers if a firm is unable, or

likely to be unable, to pay claims against it, usually because it has stopped trading or

has been declared in default. The FSCS is funded by the financial services industry.

Forbearance strategies

Strategies to assist borrowers in financial difficulty, such as arrears capitalisation, a

reduction in the monthly payment, a conversion to interest only or a mortgage term

extension. Forbearance strategies aim, if possible, to avoid foreclosure or repossession.

Goodwill

Goodwill arises on the acquisition of subsidiary undertakings, joint ventures, associates,

or other businesses and represents the excess of the fair value of consideration over

the fair value of separately identifiable net assets at the date of acquisition.

Group

The Group comprises the Society and all of its subsidiaries (i.e. full group

consolidation).

Skipton Building Society | Pillar 3 Disclosures 31 December 2024

119

Group prudential consolidation

The prudential consolidation group comprises the entire Group except the Connells

group and a small number of other entities whose activities are not closely aligned with

the core business.

Internal Capital Adequacy

Assessment Process (ICAAP)

The Group’s own assessment, as part of regulatory requirements, of the levels of capital

that it needs to hold in respect of the risks it faces under a business-as-usual scenario

and a variety of stress scenarios.

Internal Liquidity Adequacy

Assessment Process (ILAAP)

The Group’s own assessment that current and projected levels of liquidity are sufficient

and appropriate for the Group’s plans, under a variety of stress scenarios. It also details

the Group’s compliance with the PRA’s regulatory requirements.

Internal Ratings Based approach

(IRB)

An advanced approach to measuring capital requirements in respect of credit risk. The

IRB approach may only be used with permission from the PRA.

International Swaps and

Derivatives Association (ISDA)

Master Agreement

A standardised contract developed by ISDA and used to enter into bilateral derivatives

transactions.

Investment grade

The range of credit ratings, from Aaa to Baa3, as measured by external credit rating

agencies.

Leverage ratio

The ratio of Tier 1 capital divided by total leverage exposure measure of on and off-

balance sheet assets, after netting derivatives.

Liquid assets

The total of cash in hand and balances with the Bank of England, loans and advances

to credit institutions and debt securities.

Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR)

A measure designed to ensure that financial institutions have sufficient high-quality

assets available to meet their liquidity needs for a 30-day liquidity stress scenario.

Loan-to-value ratio (LTV)

A ratio which expresses the balance of a mortgage as a percentage of the value of the

property. The Group calculates residential mortgage LTVs on an indexed basis (the

value of the property is updated on a quarterly basis to reflect changes in a house price

index).

Loans past due / past due loans

Loans on which payments are overdue including those on which partial payments are

being made.

Loss given default (LGD)

An estimate of the loss that would be incurred should a borrower default on their credit

holder of a Permanent Interest Bearing Share in the Society.

Minimum requirement for own

funds and eligible liabilities

(MREL)

A regulatory requirement for the minimum amount of equity and subordinated debt a

firm must maintain to support an effective resolution.

Net interest income

stability of our funding sources relative to the assets (mortgage balances) we are

required to fund.

Permanent Interest Bearing

Shares (PIBS) or subscribed

capital

of all subordinated debt holders, depositors, payables and investing members of

Skipton Building Society.

Prime

Prime mortgages are those granted to the most credit worthy category of borrower.

Probability of Default (PD)

An estimate of the probability that a borrower will default on their credit obligations.

Repo / reverse repo

Short to medium-term funding agreements which allow a borrower to sell a financial

asset, such as an ABS or government bond as security for cash. As part of the

agreement the borrower agrees to repurchase the security at some later date. For the

party selling the security (and agreeing to repurchase it in the future) it is a repo; for the

party on the other end of the transaction (buying the security and agreeing to sell in the

future) it is a reverse repurchase agreement or reverse repo, for which the underlying

collateral can typically be resold or repledged if desired.

Skipton Building Society | Pillar 3 Disclosures 31 December 2024

120

Residential loans

Mortgage lending secured against residential property.

Residential Mortgage Backed

they represent.

Securitisation

A process by which a group of assets, usually loans, are aggregated into a pool which

is used to back the issuance of new securities. A firm transfers these assets to a special

purpose vehicle which then issues securities backed by the assets. The Group has

established securitisation structures as part of its funding activities. These

securitisation structures use retail / residential mortgages as the asset pool.

Shares

Money deposited by non-corporate depositors in a retail savings account with the

Society. Such funds are recorded as liabilities for the Society.

Significant increase in credit risk

A significant increase in credit risk on a financial asset is judged to have occurred when

an assessment using quantitative and qualitative factors identifies that the credit risk

has increased significantly since the asset was originally recognised.

Stage 1 financial assets

Stage 1 financial assets are those which have not experienced a significant increase in

credit risk since origination. 12-month ECLs are recognised, and interest revenue is

determined by the EIR on the gross carrying amount.

Stage 2 financial assets

Stage 2 financial assets have experienced a significant increase in credit risk since

initial recognition. Lifetime ECLs are recognised, and interest revenue is determined by

the EIR on the gross carrying amount.

Stage 3 financial assets

additional incentives to provide credit to SMEs.

Tier 1 capital

A measure of financial strength, as defined by CRD V. Tier 1 capital comprises

Common Equity Tier 1 and Additional Tier 1 capital.

Tier 2 capital

Tier 2 capital comprises the Society’s PIBS.
