Positive outlook for the region and the bank

  • Going forward, we expect a moderate increase in production and demand in the county. Continued low interest rates, a weak NOK exchange rate and growth in our export markets will contribute to this
  • It seems that the uncertainty related to Brexit and the US-China trade conflict has diminished. We still expect good activity in our main industries
  • Unemployment in the county has fallen sharply since the beginning of 2017. According to the NAV, registered unemployment at the labor offices in Møre og Romsdal accounted for 2.0 per cent of the workforce at the end of December. In comparison, national unemployment was 2.2 per cent. With moderate production growth going forward, unemployment is likely to remain low throughout the current year
  • Sparebanken Møre is very well capitalized and has good liquidity at year-end. The bank has a healthy financial structure, results have been strong and stable and losses have been at a low level for many years
  • Losses are also expected to be low in 2020. Overall, a good result is expected with an Return on Equity above the bank's strategic target of 11 per cent

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
