Financial results Q1

Outlook

Highlights Q1 2020

Profit before tax of NOK 4,9 million

Result impacted by 1) losses on liquidity portfolio 2) lower loan volumes 3) higher loan losses and 4) investments related to SME business area.

Losses on liquidity portfolio driven by Covid-19 impact to credit markets in March. Recovery in April when markets were stabilized.

Increased sale of non-performing loans the last quarters under forward flow agreement to strengthen portfolio quality.

Annualized EPS NOK 0,31, ROE 2,9%, book value of equity per share (BVPS) NOK 9,78

Transition to IFRS9 completed

Negative equity impact of NOK 103,7 million from January 1st related to increased loss provisions under IFRS9. Agent commission and establishment fees presented as Interest Income in profit & loss statement, and as Net Loans in balance sheet from January. Historical numbers have not been restated. New principle was introduced from January for loans in debt collection, where interest is recorded as Interest Income and a corresponding amount is recorded as Loan losses, hence no impact on Net profit.

Expansion of product portfolio in SME

Products in the SME business area are live and in a controlled scale-up phase. Focus going forward is to expand products and services to existing partners and adding new partners to the scalable business platform.

Covid-19 impact

The bank has maintained effective operations where most employees have been working from home. Focus on responding to forbearance requests by customers, conservative sales practice and increasing capital buffer which has led to reduced loan volumes during Q1. Too early to assess Covid-19 impact on loan losses going forward.

Coverage and loan loss ratio Comments

Loans past due

  • IFRS9 was implemented January 1st 2020.
  • The implementation of Debt register has increased NPL throughout 2019 and into 2020, resulting in higher losses. Too early to assess impact from Covid-19 on losses going forward
  • Increased sale of non-performing loans the last quarters under forward flow agreement to strengthen portfolio quality.
  • Loss ratio in Q1 2020 affected by IFRS9 treatment of loans in debt collection. Interest on those loans are recorded as interest income, and a corresponding amount is increased under loan losses. Hence no impact on net profit, but higher loan loss ratio under IFRS9.
  • Easybank's forward- flow agreement reduces downside risk as non-performing loans are on an ongoing basis sold to Kredinor to a pre-defined price. Option to extend the forward flow agreement with Kredinor throughout 2023 with same conditions as the initial agreement from July 2017.

90+ PD = Loans in stage 3 less performing loans. IFRS9 implemented from January 2020, historical numbers have not been restated.
