MORG – very strong Total Return LYTD

  • MORG increased by 55.3 per cent during 2021, more than the average growth (51.5 per cent) in the EC-market in the same period (Total Return for the EC-index (OSEEX)) consisting of the larger savings banks)
  • The positive price development has continued into 2022, Total Return on MORG was 2.93 per cent in Q1 compared to 3.30 per cent for OSEEX

Outlook for the region and the bank

  • The outlook for global economic growth has weakened as a result of the war between Russia and Ukraine. The adopted sanctions will lead to reduced international trade. High inflation also has a dampening effect on growth. This is because high inflation reduces households' purchasing power and increases companies' costs
  • To alleviate inflationary pressures, several central banks have begun to raise key interest rates
  • Norges Bank raised the key interest rate by 0.25 p.p. to 0.75 per cent in connection with the interest rate decision on 24 March. Furthermore, the interest rate path indicates another three interest rate increases this year and four interest rate hikes in 2023
  • The level of activity both in Norway and in Møre og Romsdal is high. As a result, unemployment has fallen almost continuously since the first reopening of society in the spring of 2020. At the end of March, the number of completely unemployed in the county was 1.8 per cent of the labor force. The corresponding unemployment rate for the country as a whole was 2.0 per cent. Following the abolition of the infection control rules in February, production has picked up well in service industries such as transport, hotels and restaurants and tourism
  • The bank has a solid capital base and strong liquidity and will continue to be a strong and committed supporter for our customers. The focus is always on having good operations and profitability

Financial targets remain unchanged

Sparebanken Møre's strategic financial performance target is a return on equity exceeding 11 per cent and a cost income ratio below 40 per cent.

The Board of Directors expects the financial target figures to be achieved in 2022.

  • Total net market funding ended at NOK 30.4 billion by end of Q1 2022 more than 90 per cent with remaining maturity of more than one year

  • In January this year, Sparebanken Møre further issued its first green senior non preferred bond (SNP) with a first tranche of NOK 1.0 billion of a limit of NOK 1.5 billion.

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

  • Sparebanken Møre aims to achieve financial results providing a good and stable return on the bank's equity capital

  • Unless the capital strength dictates otherwise, about 50 per cent of the profit for the year will be distributed as dividends

Equity per MORG is calculated on Group figures

Equity Capital in Sparebanken Møre

About equity certificates (EC)

  • Equity certificates are a special kind of equity instrument first introduced by savings banks in 1988. A total of 32 banks have now issued such certificates, and 19 of them are listed on the stock exchange
  • Equity certificates are an important part of savings banks' capital base and confer ownership of between 14 % and 97 % of the individual bank
  • A savings bank that has issued equity certificates has two types of equity. One is its primary capital, or "ownerless" equity, consisting of retained earnings built up by the bank over the years. The other is the certificate-holders' equity, consisting of equity certificate capital and related reserves (equalization reserve and premium account)
  • Equity certificates have clear similarities to shares. The main difference is the owners' rights to the bank's assets and influence over the bank's governing bodies. The key principle is that profits are distributed proportionally on the basis of ownership share and the bank's other capital
  • In a limited company, losses hit shareholders' equity directly. In a savings bank, losses are first absorbed by the primary capital and the equalization reserve before hitting the equity certificate capital
