Outlook for the region and the bank

  • Key economic figures indicate that production and demand in Møre og Romsdal continued to rise through the third quarter of 2020. From August to September, unemployment in the county fell from 3.7 to 3.1 per cent of the labour force. In comparison, unemployment on a national basis was 3.7 per cent. If there are no new lockdown periods, unemployment may continue to fall further until the end of the year
  • However, the economic situation remains serious for several industries. Among other things, this applies to the tourism industry, maritime industry and oil-related industries. A possible further decline in unemployment will therefore probably be slower as the labour market normalizes and the economic second wave effects of the corona pandemic take effect
  • 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
  • The economic second wave effects of the corona pandemic are expected to impact the market during the fourth quarter. This, combined with a weaker net interest income i.a. as a result of market practices for changes in lending and deposit rates in the spring of 2020, entails that the Bank`s financial targets will not be achieved in 2020
  • Sparebanken Møre's targets of a return on equity exceeding 11 per cent and a cost income ratio of less than 40 per cent remain unchanged, and the Bank has implemented measures to meet these targets

Financial targets remain unchanged

  • Sparebanken Møre's long-term targets of a Return on Equity exceeding 11 per cent and a Cost to Income ratio less than 40 per cent remain unchanged
  • The Bank`s financial targets will not be achieved in 2020
  • The Bank has implemented measures to meet it`s financial strategic targets

Results

Results per Q3 2020

Sparebanken Møre`s result has continued to improve through the third quarter.

Profitability YTD is rising and was 8.6% as of the 3rd quarter compared to 8.2% at the first half.

The bank's result is nevertheless still influenced by the market turmoil; through a reduction in net interest income, an increase in losses and lower growth. The costs has continued to decline.

Equity Capital in Sparebanken Møre

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
