Outlook for the region and the bank

  • Despite periodic shutdowns in parts of the service sector, unemployment fell in Møre og Romsdal during the second quarter. This indicates that the activity level in the county remained well up throughout the spring. At the end of June, the number of completely unemployed was 2.4 per cent of the labor force according to NAV. In comparison, unemployment on a national basis was 2.9 per cent. In recent months, there has been a clear increase in the number of vacancies advertised, including in the health sector, tourism, construction and transportation
  • In the longer term, there is reason to expect a further increase in production and demand in the county. The outlook for the Norwegian and international economy has improved as a result of previously implemented infection control measures and because an increasing proportion of the population has been vaccinated. In addition, it is likely that the financial support measures for the business community will be maintained as long as this is considered necessary. However, there is a danger that the aftermath of the pandemic could lead to more bankruptcies
  • The bank has a solid capital base and good 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 targets are a return on equty exceeding 11 per cent and a cost income ratio below 40 per cent. The activity-reducing measures due to the coronavirus pandemic have impacted and will continue to affect the market so that the targets will not be achieved in 2021
  • The Board expects an improvement in our targets figures in the second half of 2021, and steps have been taken aimed at achieving the targets in 2022

Dividend policy

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
  • Sparebanken Møre's results should ensure that the owners of the equity receive a competitive long-term return in the form of cash dividends and capital appreciation on their equity
  • Unless the capital strength dictates otherwise, about 50 per cent of the profit for the year will be distributed as dividends
  • On 23 March 2021, the General Meeting made a decision to authorise the Board of Directors to decide on further distribution of dividends of up to NOK 9.00 per equity certificate. Such distribution will be processed and communicated in connection with the presentation of the bank's accounts for the 3rd quarter of this year

About equity certificates

  • 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
