Strong Capital gives competitive financing

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

Sparebanken Møre with good access to the market

  • Our deposit-to-loan ratio stood at 58.4 per cent by quarter end
  • Total net market funding ended at NOK 37.9 billion by end of Q2 2023 about 82 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 2.37 years while the financing through Møre Boligkreditt AS has a correspondingly weighted remaining maturity of 3.21 years - in total for market financing in the Group the remaining maturity is 3.16 years
  • 26 July 2023 Moody's confirmed the bank's A1 rating with a stable outlook. All issues from Møre Boligkreditt AS are rated Aaa
  • Møre Boligkreditt AS has outstanding bonds of NOK 28.2 billion at the end of Q2 2023, of which just about 30 percent are issued in currencies other than NOK. Two of the company's Euro issues are green
  • This year, the bank has issued subordinated loan capital, senior loans and a 6-year loan from Nordiska Investeringsbanken. In early May, Møre Boligkreditt AS issued 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

Strong solidity

  • 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 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 model and calibration changes and in a letter from the Financial Supervisory Authority of 22.06.23 the applied models for the corporate market are granted
  • Sparebanken Møre will incorporate the new models during the second half of 2023. Based on figures at the end of the 1st quarter this year, the new risk weights resulting from the model changes would have given a CET1 coverage of around 0.5 p.p. higher than reported
  • The FSA further states that it aims to complete the processing of the model changes for lending to the retail market during 2023

CET1- status and requirement

Leverage Ratio

  • Throughout the first quarter of this year, we saw a weaker development of the MORG compared to the equity certificate index (OSEEX)
  • This development continued in the second quarter, and with a price of NOK 77.20 by half year end, MORG has declined by 3.84 per cent compared to a positive development of 11.32 in OSEEX

MORG: Weak H1 Development at Oslo Stock Exchange (MORG vs EC-index, Total Return)

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

Future prospects

  • High interest rates and high inflation, combined with weak growth in our export markets, help to dampen economic growth going forward. However, the level of activity is high
    • ✓ According to NAV's business survey, 22 per cent of companies in the county expect increased employment in one year's time, while 11 per cent expect a decrease. The survey indicates prospects for moderate growth in production and employment going forward
    • ✓ Continued increase in seafood exports. Increased tourist inflow to Norway and the county as a result of the weak NOK. Continued positive production development within oilrelated industries. Rising trend within traditional export of goods
    • ✓ The nervousness in the financial markets linked to the development of interest rates and inflation decreased throughout the second quarter. This is due to the fact that interest rates will probably peak in several countries and regions. Inter alia, this applies in the United States, where inflation is on the way down
  • The bank is solid and has good liquidity, and will continue to be a strong and committed supporter for our customers and our region

COMMITTED-CLOSE-CAPABLE

Sparebanken Møre

  • The good growth confirms that we are an attractive and competitive bank for both retail and corporate customers
  • In a highly competitive market, more than 2,700 new customers have chosen us as their bank since the beginning of the year
  • The activity in the local business sector is good and the housing market has held up well in the region
  • Strong solidity makes us well equipped for further growth and we have increased our staffing and set ourselves ambitious growth targets

Highlights H1 2023

Nye

  • The Retail Market continues its' strong development and total lending growth in H1 is NOK 2 billion
  • Good insurance sale within the Corporate Market and we are well ahead of the target
  • Our Real Estate agency Møremegling: Continues the good development and gains a stronger position in the county
  • Good activity in asset management. More than 50 new customers so far in 2023 and an almost NOK 600 million increase in gross volume in the first half-year confirms this
  • We are working on several projects to streamline the bank's operations and to enhance customer experince
  • Næringsbasen is well underway with the establishment of customers from Conta and the profitability of the customers is increasing

Experiences with the cooperation with Conta so far

  • We hit the market with this service. Making it simple and seamless is valued by the customers
  • So far, more than 400 corporate customers have used the models – this without any kind of marketing
  • Our aim is to get the companies up and running with all the products needed already in the start -up phase, as well as establishing personal customer relationships

Good customer experiences produce good results
