At the end of the fourth quarter of 2021, Storebrand Boligkreditt AS had issued covered bonds with a total carrying amount of NOK 24.6 billion.

This has no expiry date, but can be terminated by the bank on 15 months' notice. The other facility may not be terminated by Storebrand Bank ASA until at least 3 months after the maturity date of the covered bond and the associated derivatives with the longest period to maturity.

Capital adequacy

Equity in the company at the end of the fourth quarter amounted to NOK 1.7 billion (NOK 1.6 billion) after group contributions paid/received. The eligible capital (Tier 1 capital + Tier 2 capital) at the end of the quarter amounted to NOK 1.7 billion (NOK 1.6 billion).

The expected credit loss is increased from NOK 2.7 million to NOK 3.6 million in the fourth quarter.

Strategy and future prospects

In 2022, Storebrand Boligkreditt AS will continue its core activity, which is the acquisition and management of mortgages from Storebrand Bank ASA. The company is aiming for moderate growth in collateralisation during 2022.

The market trends and the non-performing loans are being closely monitored. Efforts to ensure good working procedures and high data quality will continue and thereby ensure that government and rating requirements continue to be fulfilled. Developments in the Norwegian and international capital markets, interest rates, unemployment and the property market are regarded as the key risk factors that can affect the performance of Storebrand Boligkreditt AS in 2022.

New issues of covered bonds will be made available when the company decides it is favourable to do so and there is sufficient collateral. Storebrand Boligkreditt AS will continue to contribute to Storebrand Bank ASA having diversified financing.

The Board of Directors are not aware of any events of material importance to the preparation of the interim financial statements that have occurred since the balance sheet date.

Accounting principles

Note 06

Valuation of financial instruments

The Storebrand group categorises financial instruments on three different levels. Criteria for the categorisation and processes associated with valuing are described in more detail in note 8 in the 2020 annual report for Storebrand Boligkreditt AS.

The levels express the differing degrees of liquidity and different measurement methods used. The company has established valuation models to gather information from a wide range of well-informed sources with a view to minimising the uncertainty of valuations.

Storebrand Boligkreditt AS has changed the definition of default in line with the recommendation given by European Banking Authority's (EBA's) guide to implementing the default definition in accordance with Article 178 (EU Regulation 575/2013). The definition of default is applied at debtor level with absolute and relative thresholds for arrears/overdrafts. Arrears/overdrafts for each individual commitment are measured in relation to the total debtor exposure. The absolute threshold is set at NOK 1,000 (per commitment), and the relative threshold is 1% of total debtor exposure. Joint commitments (commitments with several debtors) are defined as a separate risk point, and they are not included in the total exposure for the respective individual customers. Default occurs after 90 days with arrears/overdrafts above both absolute and relative thresholds. All debtor commitments are considered defaulted if default has occurred on at least one of them. In accordance with the guidelines, a probation period of 3 months is used. The probation period starts when default criteria are no longer in place. In order for the probation period to end, the arrears/overdrafts must be below the threshold values for the entire probation period.
