Background and actions

  • Monobank and old BRAbank invested heavily in best-in-class credit card solutions and has operated Widerøe credit card, Monocard and BRA Kreditkort
  • Lack of scale has left the product setup unprofitable
  • Agreements with Widerøe, Braathens Aviation AB and key vendors have been terminated
  • Intangible assets related to credit card setup were written off in relation to the merger October 1st 2020, hence no P&L impact
  • BRAbank owns intangible assets related to the credit card solutions, and has an option to relaunch if an attractive market possibility occurs

Realized cost synergies one year after the merger

Further cost savings driven by termination of agreements and continuous cost focus

Improved credit quality

As a result of sale of defaulted loans and higher quality on new volumes

Positive development in loan loss ratio

Comments on credit quality development

  • The forward flow agreement with Kredinor is still valid until year-end 2023 for alle new cases sent to debt collection in Norway. The bank has also agreed on a forward flow agreement in Finland for next 12 months
  • Sold defaulted loans with outstanding claims of MNOK 729 MONK in 2021, from two one-offs and the ongoing forward flow with immaterial positive impact
  • The portfolio sales confirm provisions levels and contributes to de-risk the portfolio considerably. As a result of this reduction in NPL, provisions related to uncertainty around Covid-19 has been reduced from 35 to 25 MNOK
  • Improvement in credit quality for Norway and Finland LTM contributes to lower loan loss ratio

Forward flow agreements and one-off sales

Has significantly reduced uncertainty in stage 3 over the last years

Dividend policy

New dividend policy for BRAbank

"BRAbank aims to deliver financial results that provide shareholders with a competitive return on equity, and create value for shareholders through dividends and increased valuation.

Capital, which is not allocated for growth purposes, can be paid as cash dividends.

When determining the dividend level, the bank's solvency must be taken into account - including expected profit development, future capital requirements, growth plans, regulatory framework, laws and guidelines and the bank's strategic goals."

Regulatory framework and legislation

  • Only the profit for the preceding financial year can be distributed as a dividend, cf. Finansforetaksloven § 10-6 second paragraph.
  • Dividend is decided by the annual general meeting as (and within the limits) proposed by board, alternatively by the board based on a power of attorney from the general meeting.
  • Extraordinary dividends cannot be distributed on the basis of a revised interim balance sheet. As a result, banks can only pay dividends in connection with the allocation of profits in the annual accounts.
  • If the board decides to submit a proposal for a dividend which means that the total dividend in a single year will exceed half of last year's result, the board shall notify Finanstilsynet of the proposal, cf. Finansforetaksloven § 10-6 third paragraph.
  • Finanstilsynet may, when considering the bank's solvency, order the bank not to distribute dividends or to distribute less than what has been proposed by the board or approved by the general meeting, cf. Finansforetaksloven § 10-6 fourth paragraph.
