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 2021

Profit after tax was NOK 170 million for the first quarter of 2021, or 0.84 per cent of average assets, compared with NOK 117 million, or 0.61 per cent, for the corresponding quarter last year.

Return on equity was 10.4 per cent in the first quarter of 2021, compared with 7.1 per cent in the first quarter of 2020, and the cost/income ratio amounted to 40.5 per cent compared with 47.2 per cent in the first quarter of 2020.

Earnings per equity certificate were NOK 8.26 (NOK 5.46) for the Group and NOK 17.20 (NOK 14.47) for the parent bank.

Net interest income

Net interest income was NOK 305 million, which is NOK 37 million, or 10.8 per cent, lower than in the corresponding quarter of last year. This represents 1.51 per cent of total assets, which is 0.29 percentage points lower than in the first quarter of 2021. Adjusted for the number of interest days, net interest income in NOK in the first quarter of 2021 was on a par with net interest income in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Slightly higher interest rates resulted in higher funding costs. This, combined with strong competition in both lending and deposits, contributed to downward pressure on net interest income, while higher lending and deposit volumes resulted in an increase in net interest income.

The retail market saw a weak increase in the interest margin for lending, while there was a major reduction in the deposit margin compared with the first quarter of 2020. In the corporate market, the interest margin for lending was slightly weaker, while the interest margin for deposits saw a significant reduction compared with the first quarter of 2020.

Other operating income

Other operating income amounted to NOK 85 million in the quarter, which is NOK 73 million higher than in the first quarter of last year. The net income from financial instruments of NOK 34 million was NOK 75 million higher than in the first quarter of 2020. Capital gains from bond holdings were NOK 8 million in the quarter, compared with capital losses of NOK 42 million in the corresponding quarter last year. Capital gains from equities amounted to NOK 10 million compared with capital losses of NOK 7 million in the first quarter of 2020. The positive change in value for fixed-rate lending amounted to NOK 8 million (NOK -10 million). The value of issued bonds changed by NOK -6 million, on a par with the same period last year. Income from currency and interest rate business for customers decreased by NOK 4 million compared with the same period last year.

Other operating income, excluding financial instruments, decreased by NOK 2 million compared with the first quarter of 2020. The reduction was mainly due to less income from money-transfer services.

See Note 7 for a specification of other operating income.

Costs

Operating costs in the quarter amounted to NOK 158 million, which is NOK 9 million lower than in the same quarter last year. Salaries and wages were NOK 6 million lower than in the corresponding period last year and amounted to NOK 83 million. Staffing has been reduced by 11 FTEs in the past 12 months to 343 FTEs. Other operating costs were NOK 3 million lower than in the same period last year. See Note 8 for a specification of costs.

The cost/income ratio was 40.5 per cent in the first quarter of 2021, which represents a reduction of 6.7 percentage points compared with the first quarter last year.

Provisions for expected losses and credit-impaired commitments

The quarterly accounts were charged NOK 14 million (NOK 36 million) in losses on loans and guarantees. This amounts to 0.07 per cent (0.19 per cent) of average total assets on an annualised basis. Losses in the corporate segment increased by NOK 11 million in the quarter, while losses in the retail segment increased by NOK 3 million.

At the end of the first quarter of 2021, total expected losses amounted to NOK 339 million, equivalent to 0.49 per cent of gross loans and guarantees (NOK 406 million and 0.61 per cent). Of the total expected losses, NOK 16 million concern credit-impaired commitments more than 90 days past due (NOK 23 million), which amounts to 0.02 per cent of gross loans and guarantees (0.03 per cent). NOK 212 million concerns other credit-impaired commitments (NOK 231 million), which is equivalent to 0.30 per cent of gross loans and guarantees (0.35 per cent).

Net credit-impaired commitments (commitments more than 90 days past due and other commitments in stage 3) have increased by NOK 85 million in the past 12 months. At end of the first quarter of 2021, the corporate market accounted for NOK 717 million of net credit-impaired commitments and the retail market NOK 115 million. In total, this represents 1.19 per cent of gross loans and guarantees (1.12 per cent).

Lending to customers

At the end of the first quarter of 2021, lending to customers amounted to NOK 67,711 million (NOK 65,145 million). Customer lending has increased by a total of NOK 2,566 million, or 3.9 per cent, in the past 12 months. Retail lending has increased by 3.6 per cent and corporate lending has increased by 4.7 per cent in the past 12 months. Lending to corporate customers increased by 2.3 per cent in the first quarter of 2021, while lending to retail customers rose by 0.8 per cent. Retail lending accounted for 67.6 per cent of total lending at the end of the first quarter of 2021 (67.7 per cent).

Deposits from customers

Customer deposits have increased by NOK 2,869 million, or 7.7 per cent, in the past 12 months. At the end of the first quarter of 2021, deposits amounted to NOK 40,301 million (NOK 37,432 million). Retail deposits have increased by 6.2 per cent in the past 12 months, while corporate deposits have increased by 8.0 per cent and public sector deposits by 40.6 per cent. The retail market's relative share of deposits amounted to 58.8 per cent (59.6 per cent), while deposits from the corporate market accounted for 38.3 per cent (38.1 per cent) and from the public sector market 2.9 per cent (2.3 per cent). The deposit-to-loan ratio was 59.3 per cent at the end of the first quarter of 2021 (57.5 per cent).

MREL

In a letter to Sparebanken Møre dated 14 December 2020, the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway set the bank's minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) at 31.4 per cent of the adjusted risk weighted assets. In its letter, the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway added that the Group must meet the requirement by 31 March 2021 and that the bank must have submitted a plan for phasing in non-preferred liabilities by the same date.

The requirement must be met using senior non-preferred capital (SNP) by 1 January 2024. Prior to this date, the Group can include senior preferred debt (SP), issued by Sparebanken Møre with a remaining term to maturity of at least 1 year, to meet the minimum requirement.

The phasing in designed to satisfy the requirement must, as a minimum, be linear in 2021, 2022 and 2023, such that during 2021 the Group will, as a minimum, phase in one third of the remaining need in the phasing in period 2021-2023, calculated as at 31 December 2020.

Sparebanken Møre sent a letter to the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway dated 26 March concerning the bank's plan for phasing in SNP.

The bank issued its first SNP bond in the first quarter. The NOK 750 million bond (with a six non-call five structure) was issued in the market at interest of 3-month NIBOR + 0.67 percentage points.

CAPITAL ADEQUACY

Sparebanken Møre is well capitalised. At the end of the first quarter, the Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio was 16.9 per cent (16.9 per cent), including 50 per cent of the result for the year to date. This is 4.2 percentage points higher than the total regulatory minimum requirement of 12.7 per cent for the Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio. The primary capital ratio, including 50 per cent of the result for the year to date, was 20.6 per cent (20.7 per cent) and the Tier 1 capital ratio was 18.6 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), which were introduced with effect from 31 December 2019.

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 2021. 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 leverage ratio (LR) at the end of the first quarter of 2021 was 7.7 per cent, 0.1 percentage points lower than at the end of the first quarter of 2020. The regulatory minimum requirement (3 per cent) and buffer requirement (2 per cent), 5 per cent in total, were met by a good margin.

SUBSIDIARIES

The aggregate profit of the bank's three subsidiaries was NOK 59 million after tax in the first quarter of 2021 (NOK 48 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 2021, the company had outstanding bonds of NOK 26 billion in the market. Around 30 per cent was issued in a currency other than NOK. NOK 1,633 million of the volume of bonds issued by the company was held by the parent bank at the end of the first quarter of 2021. Møre Boligkreditt AS contributed NOK 59 million to the Group's result in the first quarter of 2021 (NOK 48 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 2021 (NOK -0.4 million). At the end of the quarter, the company employed 14 full-time equivalents.

Sparebankeiendom AS's purpose is to own and manage the bank's commercial properties. The company contributed NOK 0.4 million to the result in the first quarter of 2021 (NOK 0.4 million). The company has no employees.

EQUITY CERTIFICATES

At the end of the first quarter of 2021, there were 5,617 holders of Sparebanken Møre's equity certificates. 9,886,954 equity certificates have been issued. Equity certificate capital accounts for 49.6 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 2021, the bank owned 22,111 of its own equity certificates. These were purchased on the Oslo Børs at market prices.

FUTURE PROSPECTS

Developments in the labour market in Møre og Romsdal indicate that the trends in output and employment in the county were stable during the first quarter of 2021. Unemployment has fallen since the start of the year. At the end of March, the number of unemployed people registered at job centres amounted to 2.8 per cent of the workforce according to NAV. In comparison, the national unemployment rate was 4.2 per cent. Furthermore, almost 7,000 new jobs were added in the public and private sectors in the first quarter.

The long-term economic prospects have improved. This is due to comprehensive infection control measures, the rollout of vaccines and sustained financial support measures. Nevertheless, a number of industries are facing serious economic situations. This is particularly true for the hotel and restaurant industry, personal services, maritime industries and their suppliers and oil-related industries. Therefore, there is a risk that the number of bankruptcies will increase as financial support measures are discontinued.

The growth rate for household lending for Norway as a whole has been stable so far in 2021. Growth in corporate lending has been increasing and is now slightly higher than it was at the end of last year.

The bank noted good activity during the first quarter of the year with a slightly lower growth rate both in retail- and corporate lending compared with the annual growth rates at the end of 2020. The 12-month figures for growth were 3.6 per cent for retail lending and 4.7 per cent for corporate lending. Deposits increased by 7.7 per cent in the past 12 months up to the end of the first quarter of 2021, and the depositto-loan ratio remains high.

Sparebanken Møre expects lending growth for the bank in 2021 to be slightly higher than the growth in 2020 and end up at around 5 per cent. Deposit growth is expected to remain 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.

Although Sparebanken Møre's strategic financial performance targets were not achieved in 2020 and activity reducing measures related to the Covid-19 pandemic are expected to have an impact on the market also in 2021, our targets of a return on equity above 11 per cent and a cost/income ratio of less than 40 per cent stand. The bank has taken steps to achieve these targets.

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 2021. The interim report has been prepared in compliance with IAS 34 Interim Reporting and in accordance with accounting principles and methods applied in the 2020 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 standard method and for operational risk the basic method is used.

Sparebanken Møre has a total requirement for Common 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 Pilar 2 requirement for Sparebanken Møre of 1.7 per cent, albeit a minimum of NOK 590 million.

The countercyclical capital buffer was reduced from 2.5 per cent to 1.0 per cent with effect from 13 March 2020. The level is set by the Ministry of Finance based on advice from Norges Bank. The countercyclical capital buffer can be increased with 12 months' notice. No changes have been announced so far in 2021.

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

Reported capital adequacy in the annual report for 2020 was based on a proposed cash dividend of NOK 4.50 per equity certificate, a total of NOK 44 million, and dividend funds to the local community totaling NOK 45 million.

On 23 March 2021, the General Meeting made a decision to authorise the Board of Directors to decide on further distribution of dividends on the basis of the bank's annual accounts for 2020 of up to NOK 9.00 per equity certificate and up to NOK 91 million in dividends for local communities. The authoritsation is valid until the ordinary General Meeting in 2022. The funds that can be distributed in accordance with the board authorisation have been transferred to other equity pending any distribution, instead of to the equalisation fund and primary capital as originally proposed. The funds transferred to other equity shall not be included in the calculation of Common Equity Tier 1 capital, which resulted in a reduction in the CET1 capital ratio as at 31.12.2020 from 17.5 per cent to 17.0 per cent. Similarly, the Tier 1 capital ratio was reduced from 19.2 per cent to 18.7 per cent and the capital adequacy ratio was reduced from 21.3 per cent to 20.8 per cent.

The figures as of 31 December 2020 in the quarterly report have been revised in relation to reported capital adequacy in the annual report for 2020, thus reflecting the General Meeting's resolution of 23 March 2021.

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.

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

A 12-months PD is used 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.

Customers who 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.

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).

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.

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.

Consequences of Covid-19 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.

Covid-19 has resulted in an extraordinary situation for the bank's customers. Due to both low oil prices and the ongoing Covid-19 situation, there is still considerable uncertainty associated with expected developments both in Norway and in the world economy, and the picture is constantly changing. This means that there is greater uncertainty about critical estimates.

Many corporate and retail customers have seen their income reduced in the short term, and the level of uncertainty associated with estimating the future cash flows and debt servicing capacity of these customers is high. On the other hand, other industries have experienced positive economic developments through 2020 and in the first quarter of 2021.

In the Group's calculations of expected credit loss (ECL), the macroeconomic scenarios and the weightings have been impacted by the changes in economic conditions through 2020.

In the first quarter of 2021, the outlook is more positive and clearer. There are improvements in macroeconomic conditions. The vaccination of the population has started well. There are very few bankruptcies and the level of default is relatively low. The authorities have come up with new stimulus packages aimed at the hardest hit industries.

The bank granted payment relief in the first and second quarters of 2020 due to the consequences of Covid-19. Most of the customers granted interest-only periods are now paying their instalments in line with their original agreement.

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.

This has been further supplemented with a more portfolio- or segment based (hotels, tourism, travel industry, personal services industry) approach to assess significantly increased credit risk and migration to stage 2. This is due to the fact that changes in future prospects are not fully captured by the ECL model.

The positive changes in the economic conditions from the fourth quarter of 2020 have continued in the first quarter of 2021 and the macroeconomic scenarios and weightings as at 31 December 2020 have been continued in the first quarter of 2021. The probability of a pessimistic scenario is 20 per cent, the base case scenario is 70 per cent probability and the best case scenario is 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 assessed 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 assessed 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 assessed 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 assessed 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 assessed at fair value with any value changes through the income statement.

Losses and gains as a result of value changes on assets and liabilities assessed 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.
