Interim report from the Board of Directors

All figures relate to the Group. Figures in brackets refer to the corresponding period last year. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS and the interim report has been prepared in conformity with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

RESULTS FOR Q1 2022

Profit before losses amounted to NOK 209 million for the first quarter of 2022, or 1.02 per cent of average total assets, compared with NOK 232 million, or 1.17 per cent, for the corresponding quarter last year.

Profit after tax amounted to NOK 163 million for the first quarter of 2022, or 0.80 per cent of average total assets, compared with NOK 170 million, or 0.86 per cent, for the corresponding quarter last year.

Return on equity was 9.3 per cent for the first quarter of 2022, compared with 10.2 per cent for the first quarter of 2021, and the cost income ratio amounted to 46.0 per cent compared with 39.9 per cent for the first quarter of 2021.

Earnings per equity certificate were NOK 7.85 (NOK 8.26) for the Group and NOK 17.34 (NOK 17.20) for the parent bank.

Net interest income

Net interest income was NOK 334 million, which is NOK 30 million, or 9.9 per cent, higher than in the corresponding quarter of last year. This represents 1.62 per cent of total assets, which is 0.09 percentage points higher than for the first quarter of 2021.

In the retail market, the interest margin for lending contracted and the deposit margin widened compared with the fourth quarter of 2021. In the corporate market, the interest margin for lending was stable, while the interest margin for deposits widened compared with the same period.

Fierce competition contributed to pressure on net interest income, while higher lending and deposit volumes resulted in an increase in net interest income.

Other income

Other income was NOK 53 million in the quarter, which is NOK 30 million lower than in the first quarter of last year. The net result from total financial instruments of NOK -2 million was NOK 36 million lower than in the first quarter of 2021. Capital losses from bond holdings amounted to NOK 31 million in the quarter, compared with capital gains of NOK 8 million in the corresponding quarter last year. Capital gains from equities amounted to NOK 11 million compared with capital gains of NOK 10 million in the first quarter of 2021. The positive change in value for fixed-rate lending amounted NOK 9 million, compared with a positive change in value of NOK 8 million in the same quarter last year. The value of issued bonds decreased by NOK 5 million, compared with a decrease of NOK 6 million in the first quarter of 2021. Income from currency and interest rate business for customers amounted to NOK 14 million, which was on a par with the same period last year.

Other income, excluding financial instruments, increased by NOK 6 million compared with the first quarter of 2021. The increase was mainly attributable to guarantee commissions, income from discretionary portfolio management and money-transfer services.

See Note 7 for a specification of other operating income.

Costs

Operating costs were NOK 178 million in the quarter, which is NOK 23 million higher than in the same quarter last year. Personnel costs were NOK 19 million higher than in the corresponding period last year and amounted to NOK 105 million. Staffing has increased by 27 FTEs in the past 12 months to 370 FTEs. Other operating costs have increased by NOK 4 million from the same period last year. See Note 8 for a

specification of costs.

The cost income ratio for the first quarter of 2022 was 46.0 per cent, 6.1 percentage points higher than in the first quarter of last year.

Provisions for expected credit losses and credit-impaired commitments

No losses on loans and guarantees were charged to the quarter's accounts (NOK 14 million/0.07 per cent of average total assets). The corporate segment saw receipts on losses of NOK 3 million in the quarter, while losses in the retail segment amounted to NOK 3 million.

At the end of the first quarter of 2022, provisions for expected credit losses totalled NOK 366 million, equivalent to 0.51 per cent of gross lending and guarantee commitments (NOK 339 million and 0.49 per cent). Of the total provisions for expected credit losses, NOK 14 million concerns credit-impaired commitments more than 90 days past due (NOK 16 million), which amounts to 0.02 per cent of gross lending and guarantee commitments (0.02 per cent). NOK 238 million concerns other credit-impaired commitments (NOK 215 million), which is equivalent to 0.33 per cent of gross lending and guarantee commitments (0.30 per cent).

Net credit-impaired commitments (commitments more than 90 days past due and other commitments in Stage 3) have decreased by NOK 58 million in the past 12 months. At end of the first quarter of 2022, the corporate market accounted for NOK 709 million of net credit-impaired commitments and the retail market NOK 62 million. In total, this represents 1.07 per cent of gross lending and guarantee commitments (1.19 per cent).

Lending to customers

At the end of the first quarter of 2022, lending to customers amounted to NOK 70,380 million (NOK 67,711 million). In the past 12 months, customer lending has increased by a total of NOK 2,669 million, or 3.9 per cent. Retail lending has increased by 4.1 per cent and corporate lending has increased by 3.8 per cent in the past 12 months. Lending to corporate customers increased by 0.8 per cent in the first quarter of 2022, while lending to retail customers rose by 0.6 per cent. Retail lending accounted for 67.7 per cent of total lending at the end of the first quarter of 2022 (67.6 per cent).

Deposits from customers

Customer deposits have increased by NOK 3,200 million, or 7.9 per cent, in the past 12 months. At the end of the first quarter of 2022, deposits amounted to NOK 43,501 million (NOK 40,301 million). Retail deposits have increased by 7.1 per cent in the last 12 months, while corporate deposits have increased by 11.1 per cent and public sector deposits have decreased by 15.8 per cent. The retail market's relative share of deposits amounted to 58.3 per cent (58.8 per cent), while deposits from the corporate market accounted for 39.4 per cent (38.3 per cent) and from the public sector market 2.3 per cent (2.9 per cent).

The deposit-to-loan ratio was 61.5 per cent at the end of the first quarter of 2022 (59.3 per cent).

CAPITAL ADEQUACY

Sparebanken Møre is well capitalised. At the end of the first quarter, the Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio was 17.2 per cent (16.9 per cent), including 50 per cent of the result for the year to date. This is 4.5 percentage points higher than the total regulatory minimum requirement for the Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 12.7 per cent. The primary capital ratio, including 50 per cent of the result for the year to date, was 20.8 per cent (20.6 per cent) and the Tier 1 capital ratio was 18.8 per cent (18.6 per cent).

Capital adequacy is calculated in line with the EU's Capital Requirements Directive (CRD) IV and Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR). The total regulatory minimum requirement for Sparebanken Møre's Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio, including the Pillar 2 supplement, was 12.7 per cent at the end of the first quarter of 2022. In its assessment of Sparebanken Møre's Pillar 2 supplement in 2018, the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway set it at 1.7 per cent, although it was made subject to a minimum of NOK 590 million with effect from 31 March 2019. Sparebanken Møre's internal target for its Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio is 15.2 per cent.

The next time it sets the Pillar 2 requirement in 2022, the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway will

also express its expectation concerning the Pillar 2 Guidance (P2G) in excess of the total risk-weighted capital requirement.

The leverage ratio (LR) at the end of the first quarter of 2022 was 7.7 per cent, the same as it was at the end of the first quarter of 2021. The regulatory minimum requirement (3 per cent) and buffer requirement (2 per cent), 5 per cent in total, were met by a good margin.

MREL

One key element of the BRRD2 is that capital instruments and debt can be written down and/or converted to equity (bail-in). The Financial Institutions Act, therefore, requires the bank to meet a minimum requirement regarding the sum of its own funds and convertible debt at all times (MREL – minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities) such that the bank has sufficient primary capital and convertible debt to cope with a crisis without the use of public funds.

The MREL requirement must be covered by own funds or debt instruments with a lower priority than ordinary, unsecured, non-prioritised debt (senior debt). The subordination requirement (lower priority) must be met in full by no later than 1 January 2024. Until then, senior debt with a remaining term to maturity of more than one year can be used to help meet the subordination requirement.

The overall subordination requirement must as a minimum be phased in linearly. From 1 January 2022, the effective subordination requirement is 20 per cent of the adjusted risk-weighted assets.

Sparebanken Møre had issued NOK 2,000 million in subordinated bond debt at the end of first quarter of 2022.

SUBSIDIARIES

The aggregate profit of the bank's three subsidiaries was NOK 52 million after tax in the first quarter of 2022 (NOK 59 million).

Møre Boligkreditt AS was established as part of the Group's long-term funding strategy. The main purpose of the covered bond company is to issue covered bonds for sale to Norwegian and international investors. At the end of the first quarter of 2022, the company had outstanding bonds of NOK 24.1 billion in the market. Around 43 per cent of this was issued in a currency other than NOK. Of the volume of bonds issued by the company, NOK 500 million (nominal values) was held by the parent bank at the end of the first quarter of 2022. Møre Boligkreditt AS contributed NOK 51 million to the Group's result in the first quarter of 2022 (NOK 59 million).

Møre Eiendomsmegling AS provides real estate brokerage services to both retail and corporate customers. The company contributed NOK -0.3 million to the result in the first quarter of 2022 (NOK -0.3 million). At the end of the quarter, the company employed 19 FTEs.

Sparebankeiendom AS's purpose is to own and manage the bank's commercial properties. The company contributed NOK 1.2 million to the result in the first quarter of 2022 (NOK 0.3 million). The company has no employees.

EQUITY CERTIFICATES

At the end of the first quarter of 2022, there were 5,617 holders of Sparebanken Møre's equity certificates. The proportion of equity certificates owned by foreign nationals amounted to 3.6 per cent at the end of the first quarter of 2022. 9,886,954 equity certificates have been issued. Equity certificate capital accounts for 49.66 per cent of the bank's total equity.

Note 14 includes a list of the 20 largest holders of the bank's equity certificates. As at 31 March 2022, the bank owned 22,414 of its own equity certificates. These were purchased on the Oslo Børs at market prices.

FUTURE PROSPECTS

The outlook for global economic growth has weakened due to the war between Russia and Ukraine. The sanctions that have been adopted will result in reduced international trade. The high inflation rate will also have a dampening effect on growth. This is because high inflation reduces household purchasing power

and increases business costs. In the US, 12-month consumer price inflation was 8.5 per cent in March. In the eurozone and in Norway, inflation was 7.5 and 3.7 per cent, respectively.

The US Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 0.25 percentage points at its policy rate meeting on 16 March in order to curb inflationary pressures and several other central banks have started raising their key policy rates.

Norges Bank increased its key policy rate by 0.25 percentage points to 0.75 per cent at its interest rates meeting on 24 March. Furthermore, its interest rate path, i.e. the central bank's prognosis regarding its key policy rate, was raised considerably. The new interest rate path indicates three further rate hikes this year and four rates hikes in 2023. The main reasons for the increase in the interest rate path were the prospect of higher wages and price inflation, higher oil and gas prices and expectations of higher interest rates abroad.

The level of activity in both Norway and Møre og Romsdal is high. As a result, unemployment has fallen almost continuously since society was first reopened in spring 2020. At the end of March, the number of unemployed in the county accounted for 1.8 per cent of the workforce. The corresponding unemployment rate for the country as a whole was 2.0 per cent. Following the end of the infection control rules in February, output picked up well in service industries such as transport, hotels, restaurants and tourism.

Growth in lending to households levelled off during the first quarter of this year for Norway as a whole, while growth in lending to the corporate market slowed somewhat. At the end of February 2022, the overall 12-month growth in lending to the public was around 4.8 per cent, compared with 5.0 per cent at the end of 2021.

During the first quarter of the year, the bank registered slightly slower growth in total lending compared with the end of last year. The 12-month growth rate was 3.9 per cent, compared with 4.6 per cent at the end of 2021. The 12-month growth rate for lending in the retail market amounted to 4.1 per cent at the end of the quarter, while the growth rate for corporate market lending was 3.8 per cent. Deposits increased by 7.9 per cent in the past 12 months up to the end of the first quarter of 2022, and the deposit-to-loan ratio remains high.

The bank has a solid capital base and good liquidity and will remain a strong and committed supporter of our customers also going forward. The focus will always be on good operations and profitability.

Sparebanken Møre's strategic financial performance targets are a return on equity of above 11 per cent and a cost income ratio of under 40 per cent. The Board of Directors expects the financial target figures to be achieved in 2022.

Accounting principles

The Group`s interim accounts have been prepared in accordance with adopted International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), approved by the EU as at 31 March 2022. The interim report has been prepared in compliance with IAS 34 Interim Reporting and in accordance with accounting principles and methods applied in the 2021 Financial statements.

The accounts are presented in Norwegian kroner (NOK), which is also the parent banks and subsidiaries functional currency. All amounts are stated in NOK million unless stated otherwise.

Capital adequacy

Sparebanken Møre calculates and reports capital adequacy in compliance with the EU's capital requirements regulation and directive (CRR/CRD IV). Sparebanken Møre is granted permission from the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway (FSA) to use internal rating methods, IRB Foundation for credit risk. Calculations regarding market risk are performed using the standardised approach and for operational risk the basic indicator approach is used.

Sparebanken Møre has a total requirement for Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio (CET1) of 12.7 per cent. The requirement consists of a minimum requirement of 4.5 per cent, a capital conservation buffer of 2.5 per cent, a systemic risk buffer of 3.0 per cent and a countercyclical capital buffer of 1.0 per cent. In addition, the FSA has set an individual Pillar 2 requirement for Sparebanken Møre of 1.7 per cent, albeit a minimum of NOK 590 million.

The next time it sets the Pillar 2 requirement in 2022, the FSA will also express its expectation concerning the Pillar 2 Guidance (P2G) in excess of the total risk-weighted capital requirement.

Norges Bank has decided to increase the countercyclical buffer to 1.5 per cent from 30 June 2022, then to 2.0 per cent with effect from 31 December 2022 and further to 2.5 per cent from 31 March 2023. The Ministry of Finance has stated that the systemic risk buffer requirement will be increased from 3.0 per cent to 4.5 per cent with effect from 31 December 2022 for banks using the standardised approach and IRB basic.

Sparebanken Møre has an internal target for CET1 of 15.2 per cent.

MREL

One key element of the BRRD II (Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive) is that capital instruments and debt can be written down and/or converted to equity (bail-in). The Financial Institutions Act, therefore, requires the bank to meet a minimum requirement regarding the sum of its own funds and convertible debt at all times (MREL – minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities) such that the bank has sufficient primary capital and convertible debt to cope with a crisis without the use of public funds.

The MREL requirement must be covered by own funds or debt instruments with a lower priority than ordinary, unsecured, non-prioritised debt (senior debt). The subordination requirement (lower priority) must be met in full by no later than 1 January 2024. Until then, senior debt with a remaining term to maturity of more than one year can be used to help meet the subordination requirement.

The overall subordination requirement must as a minimum be phased in linearly. From 1 January 2022, the effective subordination requirement is 20 per cent of the adjusted risk-weighted assets.

Sparebanken Møre had issued NOK 2,000 million in senior non-preferred debt (SNP) at the end of the 1 quarter of 2022.

Losses on loans and guarantees

Methodology for measuring expected credit losses (ECL) according to IFRS 9

Sparebanken Møre has developed an ECL model based on the Group's IRB parameters and applies a threestage approach when assessing ECL on loans to customers and financial guarantees in accordance with IFRS 9.

Stage 1: At initial recognition and if there's no significant increase in credit risk, the commitment is classified in stage 1 with 12-months ECL.

Stage 2: If a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition is identified, but without evidence of loss, the commitment is transferred to stage 2 with lifetime ECL measurement.

Stage 3: If the credit risk increases further, including evidence of loss, the commitment is transferred to stage 3 with lifetime ECL measurement. The commitment is considered to be credit-impaired. As opposed to stage 1 and 2, effective interest rate in stage 3 is calculated on net impaired commitment (total commitment less expected credit loss) instead of gross commitment.

Staging is performed at account level and implies that two or more accounts held by the same customer can be placed in different stages. If a customer has one account in stage 3 (risk classes M or N), all of the customer's accounts will migrate to stage 3.

An increase in credit risk reflects both customer-specific circumstances and development in relevant macro factors for the particular customer segment. The assessment of what is considered to be a significant increase in credit risk is based on a combination of quantitative and qualitative indicators, as well as "backstops" (see separate section regarding "backstops")

Quantitative criteria

A significant increase in credit risk is determined by comparing the PD at the reporting date with PD at initial recognition. If the actual PD is higher than initial PD, an assessment is made of whether the increase is significant.

Significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition is considered to have occurred when either

  • PD has increased by 100 per cent or more and the increase in PD is more than 0.5 percentage points, or
  • PD has increased by more than 2 percentage points

The weighted, macro adjusted PD in year 1 is used for comparison with PD on initial recognition to determine whether the credit risk has increased significantly.

Qualitative criteria

In addition to the quantitative assessment of a changes in the PD, a qualitative assessment is made to determine whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk, for example, if the commitment is subject to special monitoring.

"Backstops"

Credit risk is always considered to have increased significantly if the following events, "backstops", have occurred:

  • the customer's contractual payments are 30 days past due
  • the customer has been granted forbearance measures due to financial distress, though it is not severe enough to be individually assessed in stage 3.

Significant reduction in credit risk – recovery

A customer migrates from stage 2 to stage 1 if:

  • The criteria for migration from stage 1 to stage 2 is no longer present, and
  • This is satisfied for at least one subsequent month (total 2 months)

A customer migrates from stage 3 to stage 1 or stage 2 if the customer no longer meets the conditions for migration to stage 3:

  • The customer migrates to stage 2 if more than 30 days in default.
  • Otherwise, the customer migrates to stage 1.

Accounts that are not subject to the migration rules above are not expected to have significant change in credit risk and retain the stage from previous month.

Scenarios

Three scenarios are developed: Best, Basis and Worst. For each of the scenarios, expected values of different parameters are given, for each of the next five years. The possibility for each of the scenarios to occur is also estimated. After five years, the scenarios are expected to converge to a long-term stable level.

Changes to PD as a result of scenarios, may also affect the staging.

Definition of default, credit-impaired and forbearance

The definition of default has been amended from 1 January 2021 and has been extended to include breaches of special covenants and agreed payment reliefs (forbearance). The new default definition has not changed the Group's assessment of credit risk associated with individual exposures, and there is therefore no significant effect on the Group's losses.

A commitment is defined to be in default and credit-impaired (non-performing) if a claim is more than 90 days overdue and the overdue amount exceeds the highest of 1 per cent of the exposure (loans and undrawn credits) and NOK 1,000 for the retail market and NOK 2,000 for the corporate market. Breaches of covenants can also trigger default.

A commitment is also defined to be credit-impaired (non-performing) if the commitment, as a result of a weakening of the debtor's creditworthiness, has been subject to an individual assessment, resulting in a lifetime ECL in stage 3.

A commitment is defined to be subject to forbearance (payment relief due to payment difficulties) if the bank agrees to changes in the terms and conditions as a result of the debtor having problems meeting payment obligations. Performing forbearance (not in default) is placed in stage 2 whereas non-performing (defaulted) forbearance is placed in stage 3.

As part of the process of granting payment relief, a specific, individual assessment is made of whether the application for payment relief is 'forbearance' and whether the loan should thus migrate to stage 2 (performing) or stage 3 (non-performing) in the Group's ECL model.

Management override

Quarterly review meetings evaluate the basis for the accounting of ECL losses. If there are significant events that will affect an estimated loss which the model has not taken into account, relevant factors in the ECL model will be overridden. An assessment is made of the level of long-term PD and LGD in stage 2 and stage 3 under different scenarios.

Consequences of the war in Ukraine and measurement of expected credit loss (ECL) for loans and guarantees

Pursuant to the accounting rules (IAS 34), interim financial reports must provide an explanation of events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of an entity since the last annual report. The information related to these events and transactions must take into account relevant information presented in the most recent annual report.

The bank's loss provisions reflect expected credit loss (ECL) pursuant to IFRS 9. When assessing ECL, the

relevant conditions at the time of reporting and expected economic developments are taken into account. Consequences of Covid-19 and the war in Ukraine have led to increased uncertainty about the economic development both in Norway and in the global economy, and the picture is constantly changing. Capacity problems in production as a result of the reopening of the economy in combination with increased energy prices and raw material prices have led to rising inflation. Increased uncertainty about economic development and interest rate hikes have led to a sharp rise in market interest rates internationally.

In the Group's calculations of expected credit loss (ECL), the macroeconomic scenarios and the weightings have been impacted by the changes in economic conditionsin the first quarter of 2022.

The probability of a pessimistic scenario is increased from 10 per cent to 20 per cent, the base case scenario is 70 per cent and the best case scenario is reduced from 20 per cent to 10 per cent.

Classification of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the balance sheet at the date when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial asset is derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or the company transfers the financial asset in such a way that risk and profit potential of the financial asset is substantially transferred. Financial liabilities are derecognised from the date when the rights to the contractual provisions have been extinguished, cancelled or expired.

CLASSIFICATION AND MEASUREMENT

The Group's portfolio of financial instruments is at initial recognition classified in accordance with IFRS 9. Financial assets are classified in one of the following categories:

  • Amortised cost
  • Fair value with value changes through the income statement

The classification of the financial assets depends on two factors:

  • The purpose of the acquisition of the financial instrument
  • The contractual cash flows from the financial assets

Financial assets measured at amortised cost

The classification of the financial assets assumes that the following requirements are met:

  • The asset is acquired to receive contractual cash flows
  • The contractual cash flows consist solely of principal and interest

All lending and receivables, except fixed interest rate loans, are recorded in the group accounts at amortised cost, based on expected cash flows. The difference between the issue cost and the settlement amount at maturity, is amortised over the lifetime of the loan.

Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost

Debt securities, including debt securities included in fair value hedging, loans and deposits from credit institutions and deposits from customers, are valued at amortised cost based on expected cash flows. The portfolio of own bonds is shown in the accounts as a reduction of the debt.

Financial instruments measured at fair value, any changes in value recognised through the income statement

The Group's portfolio of bonds in the liquidity portfolio is classified at fair value through the income statement. The portfolio is held solely for liquidity management and is traded to optimize returns within current quality requirements for the liquidity portfolio.

The Group's portfolio of fixed interest rate loans is measured at fair value to avoid accounting mismatch in relation to the underlying interest rate swaps.

Financial derivatives are contracts signed to mitigate an existing interest rate or currency risk incurred by the Group. Financial derivatives are recognised at fair value through the income statement and recognised gross per contract as an asset or a liability.

The Group's portfolio of shares is measured at fair value with any value changes through the income statement.

Losses and gains as a result of value changes on assets and liabilities measured at fair value, with any

value changes being recognised in the income statement, are included in the accounts during the period in which they occur.

LEVELS IN THE VALUATION HIERARCHY

Financial instruments are classified into different levels based on the quality of market data for each type of instrument.

Level 1 – Valuation based on prices in an active market

Level 1 comprises financial instruments valued by using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. This category includes listed shares, as well as bonds and certificates in LCR-level 1, traded in active markets.

Level 2 – Valuation based on observable market data

Level 2 comprises financial instruments valued by using information which is not quoted prices, but where prices are directly or indirectly observable for assets or liabilities, including quoted prices in inactive markets for identical assets or liabilities. This category includes derivatives, as well as bonds which are not included in level 1.

Level 3 – Valuation based on other than observable market data

Level 3 comprises financial instruments which cannot be valued based on directly or indirectly observable prices. This category includes loans to customers, as well as shares.

Alternative Performance Measures - APMs

Sparebanken Møre has prepared Alternative Performance Measures (APMs) in accordance with ESMA's guidelines for APMs. We use APMs in our reports to provide additional information to the accounts and also as important financial performance figures for the management. The APM's are not intended to substitute accounting figures prepared in accordance with IFRS nor should they be given more emphasize. The key figures are not defined under IFRS or any other legislation and are not necessarily directly comparable with similar key figures in other banks or companies.

Total
assets
Definition Total assets.
Justification Total assets is an industry-specific designation for the sum of all assets.
Calculation The total of all assets.
Average
assets
Definition The average sum of total assets for the year, calculated as a daily average.
Justification This key figure is used in the calculation of percentage ratios for the
performance items.
Calculation This figures comes from daily calculations in the accounting system and cannot
be directly reconciled with the balance sheet.
Return on
equity
Definition Profit/loss for the financial year as a percentage of the average equity for the
year(the proposed dividend in line with the Group's dividend policy is
deducted). Additional Tier 1 capital classified as equity is excluded from this
calculation, both in profit/loss and in equity.
Justification Return on equity is one of Sparebanken Møre's most important financial
performance figures. It provides relevant information about the profitability of
the Group by measuring the profitability of the operation in relation to the
invested capital. The profit/loss is adjusted for interest on Additional Tier 1
capital, which pursuant to IFRS, is classified as equity, but in this context more
naturally is classified as liability since the Additional Tier 1 capital bears interest
and does not entitle to dividends.
Calculation Profit after tax-interests on AT1 capital
((OB Equity-AT1 capital-allocated dividends and gifts)+(CB Equity-AT1
capital+interests on AT1 capital-proposed dividends and gifts))/2
Figures 31.03.2022: ((163-6)/3*12)/(((7,570-599-158-160)+(7,432-599+6))/2)=9.3 %
31.03.2021: ((170-6)/3*12)/(((7,208-599-44-45-89-90)+(7,277-599+6-89-
90))/2)=10.2 %
31.12.2021: (642-23)/(((7,208-599-44-45-89-90)+(7,570-599-158-160))/2)=9.5 %

Losses as a
percentage
of loans,
guarantees,
etc
Definition «Impairment on loans, guarantees etc.» in percentage of «Gross loans to and
receivables from customers» at the beginning of the accounting period
(annualized).
Justification This key figure specifies recognised impairments in relation to gross lending and
gives relevant information about the bank's losses compared to lending volume.
This key figure is considered to be more suitable as a comparison figure to other
banks than the impairments itself since this figure is viewed in context of
lending volume.
Calculation Losses on loans and guarantees
Gross loans to and receivables from customers per 1.1.
Figures 31.03.2022: (0/3*12)/70,254=0.00 %

Defintion The total equity that belongs to the owners of the bank's equity certificates
(equity certificate capital, share premium, dividend equalisation fund and equity
certificate holders' share of other equity, including proposed dividends) divided
by the number of issued equity certificates.
Justification This key figure provides information about the value of the book equity per
