The high activity levels in the Norwegian economy continued into the third quarter. The labour market remained tight during the quarter, while inflation rose rapidly. The interest rate hikes introduced by the Norwegian central bank, Norges Bank, which amounted to 1.0 percentage point in the quarter, and a restrictive monetary policy had a contractionary effect, and there were clear signs that the economy is now cooling down. At the same time, the forecasts are uncertain.
DNB's results in the period were strong, driven by profitable volume growth and repricing effects. The capital situation remained solid and the portfolio is well-diversified and robust with net reversals of impairments in the quarter. The Group is well positioned to deliver on its ambitions and goals going forward.
The Group delivered strong profits in the quarter of NOK 7 575 million, an increase of NOK 692 million from the third quarter of 2021. Compared with the second quarter of 2022, profits decreased by NOK 210 million.
Earnings per share were NOK 4.77 in the quarter, compared with NOK 4.29 in the year-earlier period and NOK 4.91 in the second quarter of 2022.
The common equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio was 18.1 per cent, down from 19.2 per cent a year earlier, but up from 18.0 per cent in the second quarter of 2022.
The leverage ratio was 6.4 per cent, down from 6.8 per cent in the year-earlier period, and from 6.5 per cent in the previous quarter.
Strong performance in the customer segments resulted in a return on equity (ROE) of 12.7 per cent, positively impacted by increased net interest income and net commissions and fees. The corresponding figures were 11.4 per cent in the third quarter of 2021, and 13.3 per cent in the second quarter of 2022.
Profitable volume growth and positive effects from repricing led to an increase in net interest income of NOK 2 487 million, or 25.5 per cent, from the third quarter of 2021, and NOK 728 million, or 6.3 per cent, from the previous quarter this year.
Net other operating income amounted to NOK 3 875 million in the third quarter, down NOK 702 million from the corresponding period in 2021. Net commissions and fees showed strong performance with an all-time high third quarter result, and were up NOK 294 million from the corresponding quarter last year. Compared with the second quarter of 2022, net other operating income was down NOK 919 million, mainly due to negative mark-tomarket effects on equity investments.
Operating expenses amounted to NOK 6 473 million in the third quarter, up NOK 721 million from the corresponding period a year earlier. This was mainly due to a greater number of full-time employees as a result of the acquisition of Sbanken. Compared with the previous quarter, the operating expenses were at the same level.
Impairment of financial instruments showed net reversals of NOK 148 million in the third quarter. This was a decrease in net reversals of NOK 53 million and NOK 61 million compared with the third quarter of 2021 and the second quarter of 2022, respectively. The net reversals in the quarter were mainly driven by reversals in stage 3 in the corporate customers segment within the oil, gas and offshore industry segment.
In the third quarter, DNB Markets reached an important milestone, as 2022 to date has proven to be a new record year for DNB's activities in the sustainable bond market. So far this year, every fifth Norwegian krone DNB has helped to raise in the bond market has had a sustainable label.
Furthermore, in this quarter, it was announced that customers using DNB Regnskap will gain access to an integrated, fully automated carbon accounting service through third-party provider Energi.AI. The service will provide customers with an efficient tool for converting financial data into a climate footprint. In the same vein, DNB Ventures announced that DNB is becoming the main investor in the latest capital raising of NOK 20 million by the startup company Celsia, which develops software that simplifies sustainability reporting, focusing on the EU taxonomy. Celsia has previously been part of the DNB NXT accelerator programme.
DNB's own sustainability reporting was given the top score (A) for the second year running in the annual analysis of the ESG reporting of the 100 largest companies on Oslo Børs (the Oslo Stock Exchange) performed by sustainability consultancy Position Green. To further strengthen the Group's climate reporting, DNB joined the Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF) in the third quarter. PCAF is a global cooperation between financial institutions to harmonise the measurement of and reporting on financed emissions. The membership will give DNB access to tools and methods to enhance the Group's efforts to mitigate transition risk, improve ESG data collection, and report on climate targets.
Once more, DNB's work on gender diversity in management teams was acknowledged in research published by DBRS Morningstar in the third quarter. The research, based on data from 43 European banks, showed, among other things, that DNB was the only institution to have women in the positions of Group Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the Board.
On the regulatory side, the Norwegian Transparency Act entered into force on 1 July. The Act requires large Norwegian companies to carry out due diligence activities to ensure respect for human rights and decent working conditions, and introduces related transparency requirements. DNB is well prepared to meet the requirements of the Act, and has, among other things, launched a web page that sums up the Group's work on human rights to meet the transparency requirements under the Act.
As of 30 September, DNB has facilitated a cumulative total of NOK 345 billion in sustainable financing volumes, and is on track to reach the target of NOK 1 500 billion by 2030. With regard to DNB Asset Management's target of NOK 200 billion in assets in mutual funds with a sustainability profile by 2025, NOK 25.2 billion has been invested as of September 30.
The merger plan with Sbanken was signed in the third quarter. Furthermore, DNB decided to submit an application to keep the Sbanken brand in addition to the DNB brand.
DNB NXT, a meeting place for startups, growth companies and investors, was held on 29 September for the seventh year in a row. The main event, which was held in Oslo, had 35 external speakers, over 1 000 physical attendees, and more than 4 000 digital viewers. The event also included 'Oslo Innovation Week – 100 pitches', where startup companies competed to make the best pitch and win NOK 200 000. The pitch competition had 280 registered companies, both Norwegian and international.
On 22 September, DNB was awarded 'the Stockman Prize' in two categories: open class and best investor relations team. The Stockman Prize is awarded to listed companies in Norway that set themselves apart in the way they provide ongoing updates and engage in their financial reporting.
In September, DNB Markets achieved a first-place ranking in the annual Prospera benchmarking for 2021, in the category Back Office FI, FX & Derivatives, both in Norway and in the Nordics.
Following the decisions made in the third quarter by the Norwegian central bank, Norges Bank, to raise the key police rate twice by a total of 1.0 percentage point to 2.25 per cent, DNB decided to increase its interest rate on mortgages by up to 1.0 percentage point in the same period.
In Traction's reputation survey for the third quarter of 2022, DNB scored 60 points. The goal is a result over 65 points, indicating that DNB is a well-liked bank.
DNB recorded profits of NOK 22 914 million in the first three quarters of 2022, up NOK 3 714 million from the previous year. Return on equity was 13.0 per cent, compared with 10.8 per cent in the year-earlier period, and earnings per share were NOK 14.39, up from NOK 11.95.
Net interest income increased by NOK 5 819 million from the corresponding period last year, driven by volume growth, higher interest on equity and repricing effects. Compared with 2021, there was an average increase in the healthy loan portfolio of 9.1 per cent, and a 12.9 per cent increase in average deposit volumes. The combined spreads were at the same level, compared with the yearearlier period. Average lending spreads for the customer segments narrowed by 46 basis points, and deposit spreads widened by 64 basis points.
Net other operating income increased by NOK 488 million, or 3.8 per cent, from the corresponding period in 2021. Net commissions and fees showed a strong development and increased by NOK 453 million, or 5.7 per cent.
Total operating expenses were up NOK 1 355 million from 2021, due to higher activity and a greater number of full-time employees.
There were net reversals of impairment of financial instruments of NOK 946 million in the first three quarters of 2022, compared with net reversals of NOK 1 143 million in the previous year. For the corporate customers industry segments, reversals could be seen in stages 2 and 3, mainly driven by stage 3 reversals in the oil, gas and offshore industry segment. The personal customers industry segment showed impairment provisions of NOK 266 million.

Net interest income increased by NOK 2 487 million, or 25.5 per cent, from the third quarter of 2021. This was mainly driven by increased volumes, higher interest on equity and positive effects from repricing. There was an average increase of NOK 205.0 billion, or 12.8 per cent, in the healthy loan portfolio compared with the third quarter of 2021. Adjusted for exchange rate effects, volumes were up NOK 185.6 billion, or 11.6 per cent. During the same period, deposits were up NOK 189.2 billion, or 15.5 per cent.

Volume-weighted spreads for the customer segments were at the same level compared with the corresponding period in 2021.
Compared with the second quarter of 2022, net interest income increased by NOK 728 million, or 6.3 per cent, driven by volume growth, one additional interest day, higher interest on equity and positive effects from repricing. There was an average increase of NOK 49.2 billion, or 2.8 per cent, in the healthy loan portfolio, and deposits were up NOK 71.5 billion, or 5.3 per cent.

| Net other operating income | 3 875 | 4 794 | 4 577 |
Net other operating income decreased by NOK 702 million from the third quarter of 2021, mainly due to negative mark-to-market effects on equity investments. However, customer revenues from Markets, exchange rate effects on additional Tier 1 (AT1) capital and basis swaps contributed positively. Net commissions and fees showed strong performance with an all-time high third quarter result, and were up NOK 294 million, or 12.0 per cent, compared with the corresponding period last year. This was mainly driven by money transfer services delivering higher than pre-pandemic levels and solid performance across products areas.
Compared with the previous quarter, net other operating income was down NOK 919 million, mainly due to negative mark-to-market effects on equity investment. Net commissions and fees had solid performance, despite a seasonally slower quarter.

Operating expenses were up NOK 721 million, or 12.5 per cent, from the third quarter of 2021. This was due to higher fees and salary expenses as a result of a greater number of full-time employees and investments in technology and compliance competence.
Compared with the second quarter of 2022, operating expenses were at the same level.
The cost/income ratio was 40.1 per cent in the third quarter.

There were net reversals of impairment of financial instruments of NOK 148 million in the third quarter. This was a decrease from net reversals of NOK 200 million and NOK 209 million in the third quarter of 2021 and the second quarter of 2022, respectively.
The personal customers industry segment showed impairment provisions in all three stages, totalling NOK 136 million in the quarter. This was an increase in impairment provisions of NOK 110 million compared with the corresponding quarter of 2021, and an increase of NOK 42 million compared with the second quarter of 2022. The quarterly impairment provisions in stages 1 and 2 can be explained by a slightly worsened macro forecast. In stage 3, the impairment provisions could mainly be seen within consumer finance. Overall, the credit quality in the portfolio remained stable.
The commercial real estate industry segment remained stable during the third quarter, resulting in zero impairment provisions, compared with net reversals of NOK 35 million and NOK 26 million in the third quarter of 2021 and second quarter of 2022, respectively.
The shipping industry segment showed net reversals of NOK 43 million in the quarter, compared with net reversals of NOK 101 million and NOK 30 million in the third quarter of 2021 and second quarter of 2022, respectively. The net reversals were spread across all three stages, and the macro forecast remained stable during the quarter.
The oil, gas and offshore industry segment showed net reversals of NOK 333 million in the quarter, compared with net reversals of NOK 90 million in the year-earlier period and net reversals of NOK 313 million in the second quarter of 2022. Stages 1 and 2 showed net reversals of NOK 50 million during the quarter, mainly associated with customers in the oil and gas-related industries. The net reversals in stage 3 can mainly be ascribed to improved credit quality for specific customers.
Other industry segments saw impairment provisions of NOK 93 million in the quarter, compared with zero impairment provisions in the year-earlier period, and impairment provisions of NOK 65 million in the second quarter of 2022. The impairment provisions were spread across all stages, with those in stages 1 and 2 primarily driven by a slightly worsened macro forecast, and those in stage 3 related to a few specific customers within the energy and retail industries.
Net stage 3 loans and financial commitments amounted to NOK 25 billion at end-September 2022, down NOK 2 billion compared with both the corresponding quarter last year and the second quarter of 2022.
The DNB Group's tax expense for the third quarter has been estimated at NOK 2 255 million, or 23.0 per cent of pre-tax operating profit.
Financial governance in DNB is adapted to the different customer segments. Reported figures reflect total sales of products and services to the relevant segments.

The personal customers segment delivered sound results in the third quarter, with a return on allocated capital of 13.9 per cent. A rise in net other operating income combined with decreasing costs contributed to the positive development from the previous quarter.
Including the loan portfolio in Sbanken, average loans to customers grew by 12.2 per cent from the third quarter of 2021. The healthy home mortgage portfolio grew by 12.8 per cent in the same period. Deposits from customers, including the Sbanken portfolio, grew by 20.5 per cent from the corresponding quarter last year. The ratio of deposits to loans improved by 4.4 percentage points, to 63.2 per cent.
The third quarter results included the full effect of the interest rate hike announced in March 2022, and a partial effect of the interest rate hike announced in June 2022. The positive effects were offset by a further increase in NOK money market rates. Combined spreads on loans and deposits narrowed by 8 basis points from the third quarter last year and by 10 basis points from the previous quarter.
Net other operating income rose by 10.8 per cent from the corresponding quarter of 2021, mainly as a result of the acquisition of Sbanken and higher revenues from payment services due to increased consumption and travel activity.
Operating expenses increased by NOK 18.3 per cent from the third quarter of 2021. The cost increase was mainly driven by the customer identity verification programme and the acquisition of Sbanken.
Net impairment of financial instruments amounted to NOK 98 million in the third quarter, corresponding to 0.04 per cent of total lending to customers.
DNB's market share of credit to households was 24.1 per cent at end-August. The market share of total household savings was 32.1 per cent at the same point in time. Savings in mutual funds amounted to 38.3 per cent at end-September. DNB Eiendom had an average market share of 15.0 per cent in the third quarter.

The corporate customers segment delivered a solid profit and a return on allocated capital of 17.9 per cent in the third quarter, although this was down from 18.5 per cent compared with the previous quarter. Profitability in the third quarter was mainly driven by increased net interest income from deposits and solid income from net commissions and fees.
Net interest income increased from the previous quarter and from the corresponding quarter of 2021. Lending volumes were up 12.9 per cent from the corresponding quarter last year. Adjusted for exchange rate effects, volumes were up 9.4 per cent. Compared with the previous quarter, lending volumes were up 4.6 per cent, and up 2.9 per cent adjusted for exchange rate effects. Lending spreads continued to narrow in the third quarter, down 14 basis points from the previous quarter and down 30 basis points from the corresponding quarter last year. This can mainly be ascribed to a lag effect from the implementation of increased interest rates in the small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) segment and in the DNB Finans portfolio, combined with improved quality in the portfolio.
The growth in deposits was substantial in the third quarter, with an increase of 8.1 per cent compared with the previous quarter. The ratio of deposits to loans has remained high for some time but is expected to gradually decrease towards a more normalised level. Deposit spreads were positively affected by increasing NOK money market rates during the quarter.
Net other operating income amounted to NOK 1 943 million in the third quarter, a decrease of NOK 122 million from the corresponding quarter last year, and NOK 702 million from the previous quarter. Income from net commissions and fees remained at a high level, and income from Markets activities was NOK 236 million higher than in the corresponding quarter last year. However, net gains on financial instruments at fair value recognised in the quarter was negative of NOK 376 million, compared with a positive result of NOK 358 million in the previous quarter.
Total income for the quarter ended at NOK 10 018 million, a solid increase of 21.6 per cent compared with the third quarter of last year, and an increase of 2.5 per cent compared with the previous quarter.
Operating expenses were up 13.1 per cent compared with the third quarter of 2021. The increase was mainly driven by higher personnel expenses, largely due to the strengthening of competence in the area of compliance and technology. Compared with the previous quarter, the operating expenses were up 0.9 per cent, mainly driven by increased IT expenses.
There were net reversals of impairment of financial instruments of NOK 244 million in the third quarter, compared with NOK 179 million in the corresponding quarter last year, and of NOK 276 million in the previous quarter. The net reversals can primarily be explained by improved credit quality for specific customers within the oil, gas and offshore sectors.
The corporate customers segment is in the process of establishing the methodology and baseline for measuring financed emissions, and for assessing and reporting on DNB's net-zero ambition. The segment has recently strengthened its focus on ESG by establishing a new division with specific responsibility for sustainability and strategy. Going forward, the emphasis will be on embedding DNB's sustainability ambitions into segment sector strategies. DNB continues to offer training on sustainability for small and medium-sized enterprises in collaboration with the non-profit organisation DigitalNorway.
In the time ahead, DNB will continue to focus on capital optimisation and a further strengthening of the Group's position within the large corporates segment, as well as on ensuring continued profitable growth within the SME segment.
This segment includes the results from risk management in DNB Markets and from traditional pension products with a guaranteed rate of return. In addition, the other operations segment includes Group items not allocated to the customer segments.

The profit for the other operations segment was NOK 607 million in the third quarter.
Risk management income amounted to NOK 46 million in the quarter, down from NOK 153 million in the corresponding quarter last year and NOK 183 million in the previous quarter. Interest-rate trading came in at a satisfactory level given the highly volatile market. Value adjustments were influenced by volatility in general, and more specifically, the widening of credit spreads.
For traditional pension products with a guaranteed rate of return, net other operating income was NOK 205 million, down NOK 106 million from the year-earlier period. This reflected a decrease in profits in both the corporate portfolio and the common portfolio, due to volatility in the financial markets and rising interest rates. Net commissions and fees rose by NOK 22 million, to NOK 171 million in the quarter. This was mainly due to NOK 14 million in profits from DNB Næringseiendom being reclassified from financial income to commissions and fees. In addition, commission and fee expenses were down NOK 9 million from the year-earlier period.
The solvency margin as of 30 September was 202 per cent, which was unchanged from the second quarter. The solvency capital amounted to NOK 31 352 million, compared with a capital requirement of NOK 15 532 million. At the current interest rate level, the Group was not affected by the transitional rules for valuation of technical insurance provisions. This means that the solvency margin with and without transitional rules was the same.
DNB's share of the profit in associated companies (most importantly Luminor, Vipps and Fremtind) is included in this segment. There was a decrease in profit from these companies of NOK 184 million compared with the third quarter of 2021, and from NOK 141 million compared with the previous quarter.
The markets for short-term funding were volatile during the third quarter. The underlying trend towards higher interest rates made it more challenging to price the bank's ongoing need for issuance of short-term securities. It also made investors more uncertain, so even though access to the market remained good, the volumes issued by DNB varied more, and the short-term funding required much closer follow-up than usual. Access to the market remained good, and USD was by far the most important currency. Higher interest rates in EUR and GBP also meant that the bank saw more funding interest from investors in these markets. The term to maturity for short-term funding was increased to reduce short-term refinancing needs should market turbulence escalate.
The markets for long-term funding were also volatile during the quarter, and continued to be affected by general market uncertainty. After credit premiums reached a temporary peak at the beginning of the quarter, they fell somewhat during the course of July and in the beginning of August. However, increased risk aversion in the latter part of the quarter resulted in the premiums returning to the levels seen at the beginning of the quarter. The focus in the market, which set the tone for developments during the quarter, was the increasing pace of key policy rate hikes aimed at controlling the inflation trend, and associated fears that a high interest rate level would lead to an economic recession. In addition, the financial markets were affected by geopolitical turmoil and uncertainty in light of the ongoing war in Ukraine. Activity was increasing at the beginning of the quarter, when several issuers took advantage of somewhat improved market conditions to make new issuances, but in the latter part of the quarter this activity was low, due to the prevailing market conditions. DNB issued long-term debt in the SEK, JPY, NOK, GBP and EUR markets in the third quarter, totalling approximately NOK 29 billion. The terms to maturity for new issues were relatively short (3–5 years), as the credit premiums for short-term funding rose less than those for long-term funding.
The total nominal value of long-term debt securities issued by the Group was NOK 589 billion at the end of the quarter, compared with NOK 587 billion a year earlier. The average remaining term to maturity for long-term debt securities issued was 3.4 years at the end of the quarter, compared with 3.6 years a year earlier.
The short-term liquidity requirement, the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR), remained stable at above 100 per cent throughout the quarter and stood at 153 per cent at the end of the quarter. The net long-term stable funding ratio, NSFR, was 117 per cent at end-September, which was well above the minimum requirement of 100 per cent for stable and long-term funding.
Total combined assets in the DNB Group were NOK 3 964 billion at the end of the quarter, up from NOK 3 667 billion a year earlier. Total assets in the Group's balance sheet were NOK 3 485 billion at the end of the quarter and NOK 3 146 billion a year earlier.
Loans to customers increased by NOK 236.1 billion, or 13.7 per cent, from the end of the third quarter of 2021. Customer deposits were up NOK 237.2 billion, or 19.2 per cent, during the same period. The ratio of customer deposits to net loans to customers was 76.7 per cent at the end of the quarter, up from 73.9 per cent a year earlier.
The CET1 capital ratio was 18.1 per cent at end-September, down from 19.2 per cent a year earlier, but up from 18.0 per cent at end-June 2022. Retained profits increased the CET1 ratio by 0.4
percentage points in the quarter, while exchange rate effects and volume growth reduced the ratio by around 0.3 percentage points.
The CET1 requirement for DNB at end-September was 15.3 per cent, while the expectation from the supervisory authorities was 16.8 per cent including Pillar 2 Guidance. The Group thus had a solid 1.3 percentage-point headroom above the current supervisory authorities' capital level expectation.
The risk exposure amount increased by NOK 19 billion from end-June 2022, to NOK 1 090 billion at end-September 2022, mainly due to volume growth and exchange rate effects.
The leverage ratio was 6.4 per cent at end-September, down from 6.8 per cent in the year-earlier period, and from 6.5 per cent at end-June. Excluding central bank deposits, the leverage ratio was 7.4 per cent, up from 7.3 per cent from the previous quarter.

The capital adequacy regulations specify a minimum requirement for own funds based on a risk exposure amount that includes credit risk, market risk and operational risk. In addition to meeting the minimum requirement, DNB must satisfy various buffer requirements (Pillar 1 and Pillar 2 requirements).

| Leverage ratio, per cent | 6.4 | 6.5 | 6.8 |
As the DNB Group consists of both a credit institution and a life insurance company, DNB has to satisfy a cross-sectoral calculation test to demonstrate that it complies with sectoral requirements: the capital adequacy requirement, in accordance with the CRR/CRD IV, and the Solvency II requirement. At end-September, DNB complied with these requirements by a good margin, with excess capital of NOK 24.3 billion.
On 1 October, the Government presented a Proposition to the Storting (Norwegian parliament), proposing financial measures in response to the repercussions of the war in Ukraine and the unusually high electricity costs. Among other things, the Government proposed setting up a temporary compensation scheme for energy costs and a temporary loan guarantee programme for the business sector. The purpose of the proposed loan guarantee programme is to give companies in energy-intensive industries access to bank loans.
Under the loan guarantee programme, the Government will provide a guarantee for 90 per cent of the amount when new bank loans are issued to companies facing an acute liquidity shortage as a result of the sharp increase in electricity prices. The programme will be managed by Export Finance Norway. It is proposed that the programme will be limited to companies with an energy intensity of at least 3 per cent in the first half of 2022, measured as the actual electricity costs as a share of their turnover in the same period. The upper limit for the loan amount has been set at NOK 50 million per
enterprise/group. For the loan guarantee programme, a guarantee facility limit of NOK 1 billion has been proposed, as well as an allocation for impairment provisions of NOK 200 million.
The programme is expected to be introduced in November and last until the end of March 2023, provided that the European Commission's State Aid Temporary Crisis Framework is extended beyond 31 December 2022, and that the programme is approved by the EFTA Surveillance Authority (ESA).
On 22 September, the Norwegian central bank, Norges Bank, decided to keep the countercyclical capital buffer for banks unchanged, at 2.5 per cent. The current requirement is 1.5 per cent. Norges Bank had previously decided to increase the buffer requirement from 2.0 per cent with effect from 31 December 2022, and to 2.5 per cent with effect from 31 March 2023.
To ensure increased transparency in the savings market, Finanstilsynet (the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway) has proposed introducing a ban on receiving or providing soft commissions when distributing savings products to retail clients. This will, for example, mean that distributors of savings products will no longer be able to receive soft commissions. In Finanstilsynet's view, a ban will ensure that conflicts of interest are handled in a better way and will make it easier for consumers to compare prices. The Ministry of Finance has circulated the proposal for comment, with a deadline of 18 November 2022.
For the DNB Group, the proposal means that DNB Asset Management AS will no longer be able to provide soft commissions to its distributors, and DNB Bank ASA will no longer be able to receive soft commissions from management companies when distributing mutual funds in the personal customers market.
On 9 September, Finanstilsynet published a circular describing its Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP) and providing information relating to the methods and assessment criteria used by Finanstilsynet during the process. The circular was updated as a result of new guidelines issued by the European Banking Authority (EBA) and amendments to the Capital Requirements Directive (CRD V) on the determination of the Pillar 2 requirement.
Previously, Finanstilsynet required that the Pillar 2 requirement was to be met using only CET1 capital. However, the new circular states that parts of the Pillar 2 requirement can be met using a combination of Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital. This is in line with the rules of the CRD V.
The new Financial Contracts Act is intended to replace the current Norwegian Financial Contracts Act of 1999 and the Norwegian Cancellation Act in the area of banking and finance. The Act is to enter into force on 1 January 2023. During the autumn of 2022, the Ministry of Justice and Public Security finalised the regulations on financial contracts with supplementary regulations. The Ministry also published an interpretative statement and laid down transitional rules concerning, among other things, the new Act's provisions relating to changes to interest rate terms in credit agreements.
The purpose of the Act, which is the most important law governing the relationship between banks and their customers, is to strengthen customers' consumer protection and take into account digital developments in society.
In July, the Ministry of Children and Families circulated for comment a proposal to expand the debt register (Gjeldsregisteret) to include secured debt such as car loans and home mortgages. Today's debt register only contains unsecured debt such as consumer loans and credit card debt. The proposed expansion will provide a better and more accurate basis for assessing a consumer's debt situation, and enable the bank to make better credit assessments and prevent debt problems. The deadline for comments was 14 October 2022.
In June, the Ministry of Justice and Public Security circulated for comment a proposal to prohibit the provision of additional benefits that can only be obtained by taking up credit. This means, among other things, that if the bank offers benefits, for example in the form of insurance, discounts or bonuses in connection with the use of credit cards, the benefits must be offered on equal terms to customers who wish to pay with debit solutions. The deadline for submitting comments is 1 November 2022.
In the third quarter, several key figures indicated that growth in the Norwegian economy was slowing. According to Norges Bank's regional network, activity in export- and oil and gas-related industries showed solid growth, while domestically oriented industries reported a decline in output and weaker production prospects. Capacity utilisation declined somewhat, but remained high in the third quarter. According to Statistics Norway, there was a reduction in mainland GDP in July and August. In its September Monetary Policy Report, Norges Bank projected a slight downturn in the second half of this year. However, the labour market remained tight, and registered unemployment was 1.6 per cent at end-September, adjusted for seasonal variations.
In August, consumer prices rose by 6.5 per cent compared with the same month last year. This was slightly down from a growth of 6.8 per cent in July. Excluding the electricity support scheme, the 12-month rate for the CPI All-item index would have been 9.0 per cent in August. Core inflation, as measured by the CPI-ATE All-item index (consumer price index adjusted for tax changes and excluding energy products), rose to 4.7 per cent in August. The inflation rate for imported goods was the same as for goods and services produced in Norway. According to Norges Bank's regional network, expectations concerning wage growth this year have increased from 3.7 per cent in the first quarter to 4.0 per cent in the third quarter.
Housing prices were 0.1 per cent higher in the third quarter than in the second quarter, but fell by 0.6 per cent from August to September. Household credit growth appears to have slowed further in the third quarter and was 4.3 per cent year-on-year in August.
High capacity utilisation and inflation indicate a tightening of monetary policy. The key policy rate was raised by 0.5 percentage points in August, and in September, Norges Bank raised the key policy rate by another 0.5 percentage points, to 2.25 per cent. Norges Bank wishes to raise the key policy rate gradually in the time ahead, and signalled in September that the rate may be raised by 0.25 percentage points at each of the meetings in November and December. According to the interest rate path presented, Norges Bank indicates a further increase of 0.25 percentage points in March next year. The interest rate path is a result of Norges Bank's attempts to strike a balance between curbing inflation, on the one hand, and avoiding an excessive rise in unemployment, on the other.
DNB's overriding financial target of a return on equity (ROE) above 12 per cent remains unchanged. In addition to effects from increasing NOK interest rates, the following factors will contribute to reaching the ROE target: growth in loans and deposits, and growth in commissions and fees from capital-light products combined with cost control measures.
The annual organic loan growth is expected to be between 3 and 4 per cent over time, while maintaining a sound deposit-to-loan ratio. Due to high volume growth in the first half of 2022, DNB expects somewhat higher growth this year. DNB has an ambition to increase net commissions and fees by 4 to 5 per cent annually, and to achieve a cost/income ratio below 40 per cent.
The tax rate going forward is expected to be 23 per cent. The supervisory expectation for the common equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio for DNB is 16.3 per cent, including Pillar 2 Guidance at 1.5 per cent. The actual ratio achieved in the third quarter was 18.1 per cent. Norges Bank has announced an increase in the counter-cyclical buffer requirement from 1.5 to 2 per cent from December 2022 and to 2.5 per cent from March 2023. In its capital planning, DNB has taken into account the full countercyclical buffer requirement of 2.5 per cent in Norway, which will increase the supervisory expectation for the CET1 level to 17.7 per cent. Finanstilsynet has announced that fulfilment of the Pillar 2 requirement (P2R) is to be harmonised with the EBA guidelines, which means that the P2R can now partly be fulfilled using Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital, rather than using 100 per cent CET1 capital, as was required before. The results of this year's final Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP) are expected to be announced later this year.
The Group's dividend policy remains unchanged, with a payout ratio of more than 50 per cent in cash dividends and an ambition to increase the nominal dividend per share each year. In addition to dividend payments, repurchases of own shares will be used as a flexible tool for allocating excess capital to DNB's owners.
DNB will host a Capital Markets Day in London on 15 November.

The quarterly financial statements for the Group have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and as adopted by the European Union. When preparing the consolidated financial statements, the management makes estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting principles, as well as income, expenses, and the carrying amount of assets and liabilities. Estimates and assumptions are subject to continual evaluation and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be probable on the balance sheet date. A description of the accounting policies, significant estimates, and areas where judgement is applied by the Group, can be found in Note 1 Accounting principles in the annual report for 2021. In the interim report, the accounting policies, significant estimates, and areas where judgement is applied by the Group are in conformity with those described in the annual report.
On 15 April 2021, DNB announced an agreement with Sbanken ASA to launch a recommended voluntary cash tender offer for 100 per cent of the Sbanken shares at a price of NOK 103.85 per share. The offer price was later adjusted to NOK 108.85 per share. On 1 October 2021, Sbanken announced that it had decided to distribute a dividend of NOK 4.40 per share. As a result, the price per share was adjusted to NOK 104.45 in accordance with the terms in the offer document.
Following the required regulatory approvals, the transaction was completed on 30 March 2022. On this date, DNB Bank ASA held 10.53 per cent of the shares acquired directly in the market. After the approval, DNB held a total of 91.78 per cent of the shares and voting interests in Sbanken. DNB immediately announced that it would carry out a compulsory acquisition of the remaining shares in the Sbanken. The consideration offered under the compulsory acquisition was NOK 104.45 per share, and the final settlement was made in April 2022, after which DNB held 100 per cent of the shares and voting interests in Sbanken. Following the completion of the acquisition, DNB has started the process to merge the two Sbanken legal entities, Sbanken ASA and Sbanken Boligkreditt AS, with DNB's legal entities, DNB Bank ASA and DNB Boligkreditt AS, respectively.
Sbanken was established in 2000 as the first pure-play digital bank in Norway and was listed on Oslo Børs (the Oslo Stock Exchange) in 2015. Today, the bank is positioned as one of the leading digital retail banks in Norway with 484 000 personal customers at year-end 2021. The company has had the most satisfied banking customers in Norway for the last 20 years. In addition to a strong position within current accounts and home mortgages, Sbanken also has a good position in the savings market, with NOK 33 billion in customers' investments in mutual funds, and has launched several successful offerings in the SME segment, resulting in 10 000 customers at year-end 2021.
DNB believes that Sbanken will further strengthen its position within retail banking in its home market. In addition, Sbanken will complement DNB within the savings area, which is a growth area for DNB, and also bring in highly skilled technology personnel. The transaction is expected to be accretive and to positively impact earnings per share and return on equity for DNB. Synergies are expected to be realised within both Sbanken and DNB.
As DNB held an ownership interest in Sbanken at the date of the acquisition, this business combination is being achieved in stages. The fair value of DNB Bank's 10.53 per cent ownership interest was NOK 1.2 billion on the acquisition date.
The total transaction price for 100 per cent of the shares amounted to NOK 11.2 billion. In the DNB Group, Sbanken is part of the personal customers segment.
The purchase price allocation has been determined to be final at the end of second quarter. The fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities of Sbanken at the acquisition date 30 March 2022 are presented in the following table.
| Amounts in NOK million | 30 March 2022 |

| Assets | |
| Loans to customers | 89 095 |
| Other financial assets | 14 243 |

| Deposits from customers | 64 933 |
| Debt securities issued and senior non-preferred bonds | 29 368 |
| Other financial liabilities | 1 649 |

| Total liabilities | 96 166 |
| Net identifiable assets acquired | 7 903 |
| Goodwill | 4 026 |
|---|---|
| Additional Tier 1 instruments issued by Sbanken ASA | (702) |
| Total consideration for 100 per cent of shares, settled in cash | 11 228 |
At the time of the acquisition, Sbanken ASA had issued Additional Tier 1 (AT1) instruments amounting to NOK 702 million. These are instruments that due to specific terms do not meet the definition of a liability and are therefore presented as equity in Sbanken's consolidated financial statements. In the purchase price allocation, these instruments were treated as if they were non-controlling interests. In DNB Group's consolidated equity, these instruments are presented on the line Additional Tier 1 capital.
DNB has identified intangible assets and accounted for these separately in the final purchase price allocation. This comprises NOK 227 million relating to brand name and NOK 161 million relating to deposit customers that provide funding at lower interest rates than other funding. The intangible assets are presented under Other non-financial assets in the table above. Amortisation of the brand will be carried out over a period of 8 years, and the customers' intangible assets will be amortised over a period of 10 years.
The goodwill of NOK 4.0 billion comprises the value of expected synergies arising from the acquisition, assembled workforce, and deferred tax on excess values. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
DNB has used external advisers in the process to acquire Sbanken, and NOK 44.3 million was recognised in the income statement for acquisition‑related costs at end-September 2022. NOK 32.9 million of this was recognised in 2021. As the acquisition took place on 30 March 2022, there were no contributions from Sbanken to the DNB Group's income statements during the first quarter of 2022. If the business combination had taken place at the beginning of the year, the Group's net interest income would have been NOK 34 601 million, and pre-tax operating profit for the Group would have been NOK 29 799 million at end-September 2022.
According to DNB's management model, the operating segments are independent profit centres that are fully responsible for their profit after tax and for achieving the targeted returns on allocated capital. DNB has the following operating segments: Personal customers, Corporate customers, Risk management and Traditional pension products (with guaranteed rate of return). The Risk management and Traditional pension products segments are included in Other operations. DNB's share of profit in associated companies (most importantly Luminor, Vipps and Fremtind) is included in Other operations.

1) Deductions are made for significant investments in financial sector entities when the total value of the investments exceeds 10 per cent of common equity Tier 1 capital. The amounts that are not deducted are given a risk weight of 250 per cent.
2) Investments in Tier 1 and Tier 2 instruments issued by the Group's insurance companies are deducted from the Group's Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital.
3) Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital in subsidiaries not included in consolidated own funds in accordance with Articles 85-88 of the CRR.
The majority of the credit portfolios are reported according to the IRB approach. Exposures to central and regional governments, institutions, equity positions and other assets are, however, reported according to the standardised approach.

Due to its extensive operations in Norway and abroad, the DNB Group will regularly be party to various legal actions and tax-related disputes. None of the current disputes are expected to have any material impact on the Group's financial position. Disputes of significant importance are described below.
In the second quarter of 2021, DNB Bank ASA received a decision from the Norwegian tax authorities relating to the deduction of external interest expenses. According to Norwegian tax legislation, external interest expenses are to be allocated proportionally among DNB Bank ASA's operations in Norway and certain international branch offices, based on the respective entities' total assets. This could result in additions to or deductions from the companies' income in Norway. The decision means that the limitation of interest deduction is calculated by including internal receivables, and covers the fiscal years 2015–2019. The decision represents a tax exposure of NOK 1.7 billion for the period in question. The effect for subsequent years is not considered to be significant.
DNB disagrees with the tax authorities' interpretation of the legislation. Legal proceedings were initiated in 2021, and the court proceedings at the first level took place at the beginning of May 2022. The first-level court decision of 4 June 2022 was not in favour of DNB, and DNB has appealed the decision. DNB is still of the opinion that it has a strong case in the proceedings, and no provisions have been recognised in the accounts.
In the second quarter of 2022, DNB Bank ASA received a notice from the Norwegian tax authorities relating to a reorganisation of the lending activities in Sweden and in the UK in 2015. The tax authorities questioned the valuation and calculation of taxable gains/losses relating to loan portfolios that were sold from branches of DNB Bank ASA to subsidiaries in Sweden and the UK. The Group's maximum tax exposure is estimated to be approximately NOK 1.1 billion. DNB disagrees with the Norwegian tax authorities' approach. It is DNB's view that it has a strong case, and no provisions have been recognised in the accounts.

Loans with floating interest rate measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are categorised within level 2, since the valuation is mainly based on observable inputs.
For a further description of the instruments and valuation techniques, see the annual report for 2021.
In the first three quarters of 2022, loan portfolios representing NOK 6.5 billion (NOK 21.7 billion in the first three quarters of 2021) were transferred from the bank to DNB Boligkreditt in accordance with the "Agreement relating to transfer of loan portfolio between DNB Bank ASA and DNB Boligkreditt AS".
At end-September 2022, the bank had invested NOK 93.8 billion in covered bonds issued by DNB Boligkreditt.
The servicing agreement between DNB Boligkreditt and DNB Bank ensures DNB Boligkreditt a minimum margin achieved on loans to customers. A margin below the minimum level will be at DNB Bank's risk, resulting in a negative management fee (payment from DNB Bank to DNB Boligkreditt). The management fee paid to the bank for purchased services amounted to a negative NOK 662 million in the first three quarters of 2022 (NOK 1 548 million in the first three quarters of 2021).
In the first three quarters of 2022, DNB Boligkreditt entered into reverse repurchasing agreements (reverse repos) with the bank as counterparty. The value of the repos amounted to NOK 6.6 billion at end-September 2022.
DNB Boligkreditt AS has a long-term overdraft facility in DNB Bank ASA with a limit of NOK 270 billion.
At end-September 2022, the bank had invested a total amount of NOK 9 361 million in bonds issued by Sbanken and Sbanken Boligkreditt.
