RESULTS AS PER Q3 2020

Sparebanken Møre's pre-tax profit for the first three quarters of 2020 was NOK 540 million, compared with NOK 680 million for the same period in 2019.

Total income was NOK 66 million lower than for the same period in 2019. Net interest income fell by NOK 61 million and other operating income fell by NOK 5 million. Market assessment of the bond portfolio showed losses of NOK 6 million, compared with losses of NOK 1 million after the first three quarters of 2019. Capital gains on equities totalled NOK 6 million, compared with NOK 12 million at the end of the third quarter of 2019. Income from other financial investments showed an increase of NOK 8 million compared with the same period in 2019.

Costs were NOK 5 million lower in the first three quarters of 2020 than in 2019. Personnel costs were NOK 12 million lower than last year and other costs show an increase of NOK 7 million in the same period.

Losses on loans and guarantees amounted to NOK 114 million and were NOK 79 million higher than in the same period last year.

The cost income ratio amounted to 42.0 per cent after the third quarter this year. This is 1.9 percentage points higher than in the same period in 2019.

The profit after tax was NOK 420 million; NOK 104 million lower than in the same period in 2019. The results at the end of the third quarter show an annualised return on equity of 8.6 per cent, compared with 11.6 per cent after the first three quarters of 2019.

Earnings per equity certificate were NOK 20.00 (NOK 25.60) for the Group and NOK 22.95 (NOK 25.90) for the Parent Bank.

RESULTS FOR Q3 2020

Profit after tax was NOK 153 million for the third quarter of 2020, or 0.78 per cent of average total assets, compared with NOK 181 million, or 0.98 per cent, for the corresponding quarter last year.

Return on equity was 9.4 per cent in the third quarter of 2020 compared with 11.8 per cent in the third quarter of 2019, and the cost income ratio amounted to 39.0 per cent, the same as in the third quarter of 2019.

Earnings per equity certificate were NOK 7.38 (NOK 8.80) for the Group and NOK 3.72 (NOK 5.30) for the Parent Bank.

Net interest income

Net interest income was NOK 306 million, which is NOK 45 million, or 12.8 per cent, lower than in the corresponding quarter of last year. This represents 1.54 per cent of total assets, which is 0.37 percentage points lower than in the third quarter of 2019.

Most of the interest rate changes for loans in both the retail and corporate market were introduced at the start of the third quarter. The last interest rate changes on deposits were implemented with effect from 15 July.

The repricing of the Group's capital market borrowing was completed during the quarter and increased net interest income.

Strong competition within both loans and deposits, as well as the lower contribution from the Bank's equity, reduced net interest income in the third quarter.

The combination of these factors resulted in an increase in net interest income in the quarter of around NOK 40 million compared with the second quarter of 2020.

Other operating income

Other operating income amounted to NOK 77 million in the quarter, which is NOK 14 million higher than in the third quarter of last year. The return on financial investments was NOK 16 million higher than in the third quarter of 2019. Capital gains from bond holdings were NOK 8 million in the quarter, compared with capital losses of NOK 3 million in the corresponding quarter last year. Capital gains on equities were NOK 1 million, compared with capital losses of NOK 1 million in the third quarter of 2019, and income from other financial investments increased by NOK 3 million compared with the same period last year.

Other income excluding financial investments decreased by NOK 2 million compared with the third quarter of 2019.

Costs

Operating costs in the quarter amounted to NOK 149 million, which is NOK 12 million lower than in the same quarter last year. Personnel costs were NOK 7 million lower than in the corresponding period last year and amounted to NOK 81 million. Staffing has been reduced by 1 full-time equivalent in the last 12 months, to 353 FTEs. Other operating costs decreased by NOK 5 million from the same period last year.

The cost income ratio was 39.0 per cent for the third quarter of 2020, which is the same as in the third quarter of 2019.

Credit-impaired commitments

NOK 36 million (NOK 16 million) was charged in losses on loans and guarantees in the quarter. This amounts to 0.18 per cent (0.09 per cent) of average total assets on an annualised basis. Losses in the corporate segment increased by NOK 45 million in the quarter, while losses in the retail segment decreased by NOK 9 million.

At the end of the third quarter of 2020, total expected losses amounted to NOK 481 million, equivalent to 0.72 per cent of loans and guarantees (NOK 370 million and 0.57 per cent). Of the total expected losses, NOK 22 million are linked to credit-impaired commitments more than 90 days past due (NOK 33 million), which amounts to 0.03 per cent of loans and guarantees (0.05 per cent). NOK 312 million relates to other credit-impaired commitments (NOK 217 million), which is equivalent to 0.46 per cent of gross loans and guarantees (0.33 per cent).

Net credit-impaired commitments (commitments more than 90 days past due and other commitments in Stage 3) have increased by NOK 195 million in the past 12 months. At the end of the third quarter of 2020, the corporate market accounted for NOK 793 million of net credit-impaired commitments and the retail market NOK 86 million. In total, this represents 1.31 per cent of gross loans and guarantees (1.07 per cent).

Lending to customers

At the end of the third quarter of 2020, lending to customers amounted to NOK 65,367 million (NOK 63,647 million). Customer lending has increased by a total of NOK 1,720 million, or 2.7 per cent, in the past 12 months. Retail lending has increased by 3.4 per cent, while corporate lending has increased by 1.6 per cent, in the past 12 months. Lending to corporate customers fell by 0.4 per cent in the third quarter of 2020, while lending to retail customers rose by 0.8 per cent. Retail lending accounted for 68.7 per cent of lending at the end of the third quarter of 2020 (68.3 per cent).

Deposits from customers

Customer deposits have increased by NOK 3,182 million, or 8.8 per cent, in the past 12 months. At the end of the third quarter of 2020, deposits amounted to NOK 39,329 million (NOK 36,147 million). Retail deposits have increased by 7.6 per cent in the past 12 months, while corporate deposits have increased by 10.6 per cent, and public sector deposits have increased by 10.8 per cent. The retail market's relative share of deposits amounted to 59.2 per cent (59.8 per cent), while deposits from the corporate market accounted for 38.5 per cent (37.9 per cent), and from the public sector market 2.3 per cent (2.3 per cent).

The deposit-to-loan ratio was 60.2 per cent at the end of the third quarter of 2020 (56.8 per cent).

CAPITAL ADEQUACY

Sparebanken Møre is very well capitalised. At the end of the third quarter, the Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio was 17.5 per cent (15.4 per cent), incl. 50 per cent of the result for the year to date. This is 4.8 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 21.4 per cent (19.0 per cent), while the Tier 1 capital ratio was 19.3 per cent (17.0 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 most important changes applicable from 31 December 2019 are the elimination of the transitional rule for the Basel I floor and the introduction of an SME discount of 23.82 per cent for SME customers with loans of up to EUR 1.5 million and an annual turnover of less than EUR 50 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 determined by the Ministry of Finance based on advice from Norges Bank.

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 third quarter of 2020. 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.

The leverage ratio (LR) at the end of the third quarter of 2020 was 7.9 per cent, 0.1 percentage points lower than at the end of the third quarter of 2019. 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 amounted to NOK 167 million after tax in the first three quarters of 2020 (NOK 161 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 third quarter of 2020, the company had outstanding bonds of NOK 24.9 billion in the market. Around 35 per cent was issued in currencies other than NOK. NOK 498 billion of the volume of bonds issued by the company was held by the Parent Bank at the end of the third quarter of 2020. Møre Boligkreditt AS has contributed NOK 164 million to the result so far in 2020 (NOK 161 million).

Møre Eiendomsmegling AS provides real estate brokerage services to both retail and corporate customers. The company has contributed NOK 2.2 million to the result so far in 2020 (NOK 1.5 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 has contributed NOK 1 million to the result so far in 2020 (NOK -0.8 million). The company has no employees.

EQUITY CERTIFICATES

At the end of the third quarter of 2020, there were 5,753 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 11 includes a list of the 20 largest holders of the Bank's equity certificates. As at 30 September 2020, the Bank owned 22,111 of its own equity certificates. These were purchased on the Oslo Børs at market prices.

COVID-19: LIQUIDITY, FINANCING AND PROFITS

Sparebanken Møre entered the crisis with good key figures for liquidity and capital. At the end of 2019, LCR (short-term liquidity indicator) was at 165 and NSFR (long-term liquidity indicator) was at 113, while Common Equity Tier 1 capital (CET1) was at 17.7 per cent.

The Group's first major maturity date in the bond market this year came on 23 September 2020, with a gross amount of NOK 3,000 million in MOBK14 from Møre Boligkreditt AS. The next major maturity date is in February 2021, a NOK 2,100 million MORG44 senior loan. Early buyback had reduced MOBK14 to NOK 438 million upon maturity, while MORG44 had similarly been reduced to NOK 1,774 million at the end of the quarter.

At the end of the third quarter, LCR was 126, NSFR was 114 and Common Equity Tier 1 capital was 17.5 per cent.

In addition to maturity dates for market funding, it is the normal seasonal variations and changes in growth rates for loans and deposits due to the current situation that have affected the Bank's liquidity in the year to date. The government's tax deferral measures, as well as support schemes, etc. related to Covid-19 have, to some extent, also affected the liquidity situation.

In the first three quarters of this year, deposits have increased by almost NOK 1,200 million more than loans and the Group's deposit-to-loan ratio has increased from 57.5 per cent to 60.2 per cent.

Sparebanken Møre received liquidity from Norges Bank's F-loan scheme with two loans totalling NOK 1,000 million. NOK 500 million with a 6-month term to maturity and NOK 500 million with a 12-month term to maturity. The first loan matured in September. The liquidity from the loans has been used to strengthen the Bank's LCR liquidity portfolio correspondingly. Besides this, the Group has also followed a planned funding strategy. In June, we accordingly placed a covered bond issue in the market of NOK 3,000 million with a term to maturity of 5.25 years, replacing the bond maturing in September. The issue was well received. In September, Møre Boligkreditt AS issued a further EUR 30 million in a private placing with a term to maturity of 7 years.

The Bank monitors liquidity developments closely. Frequent meetings have been held by the contingency group for liquidity, reporting to the executive management team and Board on a very frequent basis. The status of liquidity and the development of deposits have also been regular items on the agenda in the Bank's crisis management group. LCR has been monitored continuously and reported daily throughout the period and we have not registered any days without robust margins in relation to the minimum requirement.

The Group's market funding is raised at floating interest rates or by swapping the fixed-rate issues to floating rates. The funding cost of borrowing will therefore follow developments in the 3-month NIBOR with a time lag corresponding to the timing of the rate fixing. Therefore, it was not until July that Sparebanken Møre's funding costs for outstanding market funding were adjusted to the new lower level of market interest rates.

The above-mentioned interest rate fixing profile and the fact that our lending rates to customers were reduced immediately after the central bank cut its rates, while deposit rates were not cut until 6 weeks later, markedly weakened the Bank's net interest income in the second quarter. Net interest income is also generally negatively affected by lower returns on the Bank's distributable equity as well as opportunities to maintain the deposit margin in a low interest rate environment. This has led to a lowering of the net interest income forecast for the year as a whole. However, the Bank strengthened net interest income by NOK 40 million in the third quarter compared with the second quarter.

The development of the market value of the Bank's LCR liquidity portfolio was the item that had the largest negative impact on the Bank's results in the first quarter. This effect was significantly reduced before the

end of the third quarter, but will remain an uncertainty factor going forward as well. The Bank has no trading portfolio in equities or significant ownership stakes in product companies, which indicates that the volatility in relation to financial performance will be low for the remainder of the year as well.

The major economic uncertainty that arose at the end of the first quarter of 2020 due to the Covid-19 situation and fall in oil prices resulted in increased credit risk and increased expected losses. In spite of the macroeconomic conditions improving during the year and a continued low level of credit-impaired commitments, uncertainty about the development of the Covid-19 situation and the consequences of the fall in oil prices still reigns. Changes in these conditions could impact the Group's level of losses.

Parts of the corporate portfolio were granted interest-only periods during the spring due to Covid-19. Most corporate customers were granted interest-only periods of 6 months. A survey of customers granted an interest-only period in spring was conducted in September. Feedback shows that a very low proportion require a further interest-only period.

The probability weightings for macro scenarios in the Group's ECL model were kept unchanged at the end of the third quarter of 2020. In the first quarter of 2020, the probability of the pessimistic scenario occurring was increased from 10 to 40 per cent, while for the base scenario it was reduced from 80 to 50 per cent. For further information about the consequences of Covid-19 and the measurement of expected credit loss see note 3.

FUTURE PROSPECTS

Economic key figures indicate that output and demand in Møre og Romsdal continued to increase during the third quarter of 2020. Unemployment in the county fell from 3.7 per cent to 3.1 per cent of the labour force from August to September. In comparison, the national unemployment rate 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 for a number of industries remains serious. These include the tourism industry, the maritime industry and oil-related industries. Therefore, any further fall in unemployment will probably be slower as the labour market normalises and the economic effects of the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic bite.

After having fallen up to June, the latest figures show that the annual growth rate for lending to households in Norway as a whole, has again seen a slight rise. The growth rate in lending to the corporate market is now at its highest since February this year.

During the first three quarters of the year, the Bank noted somewhat slower growth in both lending to the retail market and lending to the corporate market compared with the annual growth rate at the end of the fourth quarter of 2019. The annual growth in lending was 2.7 per cent at the end of the quarter. The growth in deposits so far this year has been very good with an annual rate of 8.8 per cent. The deposit-to-loan ratio is high and rising.

The Bank expects lending growth to be somewhat lower in 2020 than expected at the start of the year. This is due to good growth in 2019 and a lower level of investments due to the coronavirus pandemic and fall in oil prices. Nevertheless, the growth in lending is expected to rise during the fourth quarter and be higher at the end of 2020 than it was at the end of the third quarter. The growth in deposits is expected to remain high.

The Bank has a solid capital base and good liquidity, and will also remain a strong, committed supporter of our customers going forward. The focus will always be on good operations and profitability.

The economic second wave effects of the coronavirus pandemic are expected to impact the market during the fourth quarter. This, combined with weaker net interest income due in part to market practices regarding changes in lending and deposit rates in spring 2020, entails that the Bank's financial strategic 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 achieve these targets.

Accounting principles

The Group's interim accounts have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), implemented by the EU as at 30 September 2020. The interim report has been prepared in compliance with IAS 34 Interim Reporting and in accordance with accounting principles and methods applied in the 2019 Financial statements.

The accounts are presented in Norwegian kroner (NOK), which is also the Parent Bank's and subsidiaries' functional currency. All amounts are stated in NOK million unless stated otherwise.

Note 1.5 in the Annual report 2019 discloses the use of estimates applied in the preparation of the annual financial statements. One of the most important areas to which critical estimates and assumptions are linked is the measurement of expected credit losses (ECL) according to IFRS 9. Covid-19 has resulted in changed assumptions for the calculation of expected losses as at 30.09.2020. See note 3 for further information.

Losses and impairment on loans and guarantees

Sparebanken Møre applies a three-stage 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 and there's evidence of loss or if an individual assessment has been made, the commitment is transferred to stage 3 with lifetime ECL measurement. The commitment is considered to be credit-impaired.

Staging is performed at account level and implies that two or more accounts held by the same customer can be placed in different stages.

A commitment is defined as the total of loans, undrawn credit facilities and guarantees (undrawn credit facilities and guarantees are off-balance items).

Classification and migration between the stages are governed by the following criteria:

  • New accounts and accounts with increase in credit limits (based on credit applications) are placed in stage 1 the month after the opening date, with the following exceptions:
    • PD = 100 %. Account is placed in stage 3.
    • The customer is more than 30 days in default or has been granted payment relief due to payment difficulties, in which cases, all the customer's accounts are placed in stage 2.
  • Accounts migrate from stage 1 to stage 2 if more than 30 days in default, if marked with payment relief due to payment difficulties or in case of a significant increase in credit risk. Significant increase in credit risk meaning:
    • If initial PD was less than 1 %:
      • PD has doubled since initial recognition and the increase in PD is more than 0.5 percentage points
    • If initial PD was higher than or equal to 1 %:
      • PD has doubled since initial recognition or the increase in PD is more than 2 percentage points

An account migrates from stage 2 to 1 if there is a significant reduction in credit risk compared to last time the account migrated to stage 2. Significant reduction in credit risk meaning:

The criteria for migration from stage 1 to 2 is no longer present and this is satisfied for at least one subsequent month (total 2 months).

An account migrates from stage 1 or stage 2 to stage 3 if PD equals 100 % (Risk class M or N).

An account migrates from stage 3 to stage 1 or 2 if the account no longer meets the conditions for migration to stage 3:

  • The account migrates to stage 2 if more than 30 days in default.
  • Otherwise, the account migrates to stage 1.

Accounts that are not subject to the migration rules above are not assumed to have a significant change in credit risk and retain the same stage as the previous month.

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 NOK 1 000.

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.

If known/available information is not fully reflected in the model calculated ECL, management overrides are considered. Potential management overrides of expected credit loss are reviewed by the bank's management group.

ECL on loans are presented in the balance sheet as a reduction to «Loans to and receivables from customers» and ECL on guarantees are recognised under «Other provisions for incurred liabilities and costs».

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 interim report for Q3 2020 has been prepared in a period when the economic outlook differs from that in the annual financial statements for 2019.

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. 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.

The situation has impacted the ECL calculation as at 30.09.2020. Changes in economic conditions have impacted macroeconomic scenarios and weightings. Weightings for Q1 2020 have been continued in Q3 2020.

Weighting as at 30.09.2020: Weighting as at 31 December 2019:

Best: 10% Best: 10 %
Base: 50% Base: 80 %
Worst: 40% Worst: 10 %

Changes made to the scenario weightings from 31.12.2019 are based on analyses and estimates from Norges Bank and Statistics Norway. The estimates for key macro factors have been adjusted downwards in relation to previous estimates. In addition to the external estimates, the Bank has applied its best judgement to ensure that the forecasts are unbiased. On the other hand, the government's package of measures might limit expected losses. State guarantees are reflected in the Bank's LGD model (reducing expected degree of loss).

The major economic uncertainty that arose at the end of the first quarter of 2020 due to Covid-19 and the fall in oil prices, resulted in increased credit risk and increased credit losses. Despite of the macroeconomic conditions improving during the year and a continued low level of default, uncertainty regarding the development of the Covid-19 situation and the consequenses of the fall in oil prices still reigns. Changes in these conditions could impact the Group's level of credit losses.

In its assessments, the Bank has taken into account a significant increase in approved payment holidays. A specific, individual assessment is made of whether the payment holiday is forbearance and thus should migrate the commitment to stage 2 (performing) or stage 3 (non-performing).

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 due to the fact that changes in future prospects are not fully captured by the ECL model.

Parts of the corporate portfolio were granted interest-only periods in spring due to Covid-19. Most corporate customers were granted interest-only periods of six months. A survey of customers granted interest-only periods in spring was conducted in September. Feedback shows that a very low proportion require a further interest-only period.

In addition to Covid-19, oil prices have fallen dramatically due to high output and a substantial drop in demand. This has resulted in the overriding of relevant variables in the ECL model in order to take account of the increased uncertainty for individual commitments within the oil services industry.

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 bank. Financial derivatives are recognised at fair value through the income statement and recognised gross per contract as an asset or 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.

Capital adequacy

Capital adequacy for Sparebanken Møre is calculated in accordance with IRB Foundation for credit risk. Market risk calculations are based on the standard method and operational risk calculations on the basic method.

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 requirement for Common Equity Tier 1 capital (CET1) for Pillar 1 is 11.0 per cent. The requirement consists of a minimum requirement of 4.5 per cent, a 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, Finanstilsynet has set an individual Pillar 2 requirement of 1.7 per cent, however a minimum of NOK 590 million.

The capital adequacy reported in the 2019 Annual report was based on a proposed cash dividend of NOK 17.50 per equity certificate, a total of NOK 173 million, and an allocation to dividend funds for the local community totalling NOK 176 million. The final cash dividend for 2019 was approved by the General Meeting 16 April 2020, at NOK 14.00 per equity certificate, a total of NOK 138 million, and dividend funds for the local community was set at NOK 141 million. As a result of the reduced dividends, the Group's Common Equity Tier 1 was strengthened by 0.3 p.p, from 17.4 per cent to 17.7 per cent. Equally, the Tier 1 capital was increased from 19.3 per cent to 19.5 per cent and the Capital adequacy ratio increased from 21.5 per cent to 21.7 per cent.

The capital adequacy figures as of 31.12.2019 are in the interim report restated compared to the reported figures in the 2019 Annual report, thus reflecting the resolution of the General Meeting dated 16 April 2020.

classified as equity, but in this context more naturally is classified as liability since the Additional Tier 1 capital bears
interest and does not entitle to dividends.
