Strong Capital gives competitive financing

Deposits are the Group`s most important source of funding. The bank has high Deposit-to-Loan ratio.

Strong rating and long-term financing

  • Our deposit-to-loan ratio stood at 58.2 per cent by quarter end
  • Total net market funding ended at NOK 36,5 billion by end of Q3 2023 about 86 per cent with remaining maturity of more than one year
  • The senior bonds with a remaining term of more than one year have a weighted remaining maturity of 2.82 years while the financing through Møre Boligkreditt AS has a correspondingly weighted remaining maturity of 2.96 years - in total for market financing in the Group the remaining maturity is 3.01 years
  • On 2 October, Møre Boligkreditt AS received its own issuer rating. Moody's has assigned the mortgage company the same rating as the bank, A1. This does not affect the Aaa rating of the issues from Møre Boligkreditt AS
  • In a new Credit Opinion published on 5 October this year and following Moody's rating of Møre Boligkreditt AS, the rating agency confirms Sparebanken Møre's deposit and long-term issuer rating to A1 with a stable outlook
  • Møre Boligkreditt AS has issued bonds for NOK 28.7 billion at the end of the 3rd quarter 2023, of which around 30 per cent are issued in currencies other than NOK. Two of the company's euro issues are green
  • So far this year, the bank has issued subordinated loans, senior loans and a 6 year loan to Nordiska Investeringsbanken. In early May, Møre Boligkreditt AS published a 1B-Covered Bond in the Norwegian market
  • The adaptation to the MREL requirement must be completed during 2023. This entails a further phasing in of both SNP and senior restricted capital in line with this requirement during the fourth quarter

Strong capital

CET1- status and requirements

  • Sparebanken Møre has a long-term target for Common Equity Tier 1 capital (CET1) which must be the sum of pillar 1, pillar 2 (P2R) and P2G
  • The bank is well capitalized with solid buffers against the capital requirements
  • The Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority (FSA) has notified the bank that it plans to carry out SREP in 2023. This will affect the capital composition
  • The bank has applied to the FSA for IRB model and calibration changes. In a letter from the FSA of 22.06.23, the applied models for the corporate market are granted
  • Sparebanken Møre will incorporate the new models during the fourth quarter of this year. The model changes are estimated to provide an improved CET1 ratio of around 0.5 p.p.
  • The FSA further states that it aims to complete the processing of the model changes for lending to the retail market during 2023

Leverage Ratio

MORG pricing Development at Oslo Stock Exchange (MORG vs EC-index, Total Return)

  • Throughout the first half of this year, we saw a weaker development for the price of MORG compared to the equity certificate index (OSEEX)
  • In the third quarter and especially after the publication of the results for the second quarter, we have registered a somewhat stronger relative price development
  • From the turn of the year until the end of the third quarter, MORG has fallen by 3.5 per cent. In comparison, the rise in OSEEX is 10.7 per cent

Dividend policy

  • Sparebanken Møre aims to achieve financial results providing a good and stable return on the bank's equity capital
  • Sparebanken Møre's profit allocation must ensure that all equity owners are guaranteed equal treatment
  • If the solvency ratio does not indicate otherwise, the aim is that around 50 per cent of the year's profit overall can be distributed as dividends

MORG – price and Price/Book (P/B) value*

  • Equity. price and P/B

*Equity per MORG is calulated on Group figures. Figures for 2019-2021 stated before the split in 2022.

Economic environment

  • Growth in production and demand is negatively affected by high interest rates and high inflation. However, interest rates have risen sharply and global inflationary pressure has lessened. Policy interest rates in many countries are therefore probably at or close to the peak
  • Norges Bank increased the policy rate in both August and September. At the end of the 3rd quarter, the key interest rate was 4.25 per cent. Norges Bank's interest rate path, published on 21 September, indicates a further rate hike this year and two rate cuts next year
  • In the 3rd quarter, the international financial markets were periodically affected by fears of higher interest rates in the US. This led to a rise in long-term global interest rates and large fluctuations on the leading stock exchanges. Oslo Stock Exchange, however, benefited from the oil price increase in the period

31

The bank is solid and has good liquidity, and will continue to be a strong and committed supporter for our customers and our region

Production and demand in Møre and Romsdal are at a high level

The labor market remains tight and the number of totally unemployed was according to NAV 1.5 per cent of the workforce in Møre and Romsdal. On a national basis, the unemployment rate was 1.8 per cent (per September).

There are big differences between the various industries in terms of production prospects.

The outlook within the oil-related industries, the workshop industry and the seafood sector is good.

The building and construction sector, as well as parts of marketoriented services, however, are negatively affected by the rise in interest rates and high inflation.
