Directors' report

Third quarter financial performance

A strong Norwegian macroeconomic situation contributed to healthy lending growth, higher NOK interest rates and continued strong asset quality.

The DNB Bank Group1) delivered a solid profit of NOK 5 631 million in the third quarter, an increase of NOK 257 million from the third quarter of 2018, mainly driven by higher net interest income as well as higher income from net commissions and fees. Compared with the previous quarter, profits decreased by NOK 302 million.

The common equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio, calculated according to transitional rules, was 17.2 per cent at end-September, an increase from 16.5 per cent a year earlier, and up from 16.7 per cent at end-June 2019. Without transitional rules, the CET1 capital ratio was 18.9 per cent, up from 17.3 per cent a year earlier, and from 17.7 per cent in the second quarter. The increase from the previous quarter is due to the closing of the Luminor transaction, retained earnings and a reduction in risk-weighted assets.

The leverage ratio for the banking group was 7.2 per cent, up from 7.0 per cent in the third quarter of 2018 and 7.1 per cent in the second quarter.

Return on equity was 10.8 per cent, compared with 11.2 per cent in the year-earlier period and 11.8 per cent in the second quarter.

Total income increased by 15.9 per cent from the third quarter of 2018 and 3.0 per cent from the second quarter.

Profitable volume growth in all customer segments and repricing effects led to an increase in net interest income of NOK 851 million or 9.2 per cent from the third quarter of 2018, and NOK 404 million or 4.1 per cent from the second quarter.

Net other operating income was NOK 3 672 million, up NOK 1 049 million from the third quarter of 2018. There was a 7.4 per cent increase in net commissions and fees, as well as higher net gains on financial instruments at fair value. Compared with the second quarter, net other operating income was at the same level.

Operating expenses were NOK 312 million higher than in the year-earlier period, due to higher costs related to salaries and other personnel expenses as well as impairment of a leasing contract of NOK 116 million. Compared with the second quarter, operating expenses were down NOK 58 million. The decrease was due to seasonally lower activity.

Net impairment losses on financial instruments amounted to NOK 1 247 million in the quarter, an increase of NOK 1 237 million compared with the third quarter of last year and NOK 798 million compared with the second quarter of 2019. The increase in the quarter was related to one specific loan engagement in stage 3 in the large corporates and international customers segment. Both the personal customers segment and the small and medium-sized enterprises segment experienced low impairment losses in the quarter. Overall, the development in macro forecasts and asset quality were stable in the quarter.

Important events in the third quarter

Kjerstin R. Braathen assumed the position as new CEO on 1 September, while Ottar Ertzeid took over as CFO from the same date. Ottar Ertzeid came from the position as Group Executive Vice President of DNB Markets, a position he had held since 2003.

Norges Bank raised the key policy rate from 1.25 per cent to 1.50 on 19 September. The following day, DNB increased the customer interest rates with effect from October for corporate customers and from November for personal customers.

On 30 September, DNB completed the sale of part of its ownership interest in the Baltic banking group Luminor to a consortium led by private equity funds managed by Blackstone. The transaction had a positive effect on the CET1 capital ratio, but no significant impact on profits. DNB will remain a shareholder in Luminor with a 20 per cent stake.

In August, DNB launched a new residential real estate brokerage service called Samsolgt ('co-sold'). Samsolgt is a digital, fixed-price brokerage service where the customers can save money by doing part of the job themselves.

In September, DNB signed the UN Principles for Responsible Banking. DNB was one of 130 banks gathered in New York City to sign the principles. Collectively, this coalition of international banks accounts for approximately USD 47 thousand billion in assets.

Also in September, DNB launched the campaign #huninvesterer (#girlsinvest) to put women and personal finances on the agenda. The gender gap in savings in general and mutual funds and equities in particular represents a significant business potential. As Norway's largest financial services group, DNB plays an important role in addressing this. Through the campaign, DNB wants to make sure that people understand how large the financial gender gap actually is.

DNB became a founding member of the Getting to Zero Coalition in September. The goal of the coalition is to bring together high-impact and future-minded organisations working to get commercially viable deep-sea, zero-emission vessels into operation by 2030 – an undeniably ambitious aspiration.

On 29 August, DNB launched 'Digital Trainee', which is a new programme for law students with a special interest in technology. The trainee programme is a collaboration between DNB, the law firm Wikborg Rein and AVO Consulting, where candidates are given the opportunity to work six weeks in each of the companies.

The Norwegian Minister of Public Security, Ingvil Smines Tybring-Gjedde, presented DNB with the Fidus security award for its dedicated work on security and strong ability to communicate security-related information to customers and the general public.

DNB's reputation score was 71.5 in the third quarter. For the fourth consecutive quarter, the RepTrack survey shows that DNB has a good reputation.

In connection with the annual publication of Innovasjonsmagasinet, a magazine that gauges innovation in Norway, DNB came second in the rating of Norway's 25 most innovative businesses.

Financial performance in the first three quarters

The banking group recorded profits of NOK 16 912 million in the first three quarters of 2019, up NOK 370 million or 2.2 per cent from the corresponding period in 2018. Return on equity was 11.1 per cent, compared with 11.6 per cent in the year-earlier period.

Net interest income increased by NOK 1 733 million or 6.3 per cent from the same period last year, driven by higher volumes in all customer segments and positive effects from repricing. There was an average increase in the healthy loan portfolio of 5.4 per cent parallel to a 0.5 per cent increase in average deposit volumes from the first three quarters of 2018. The combined spreads widened by 3 basis points compared with the year-earlier period. Average lending spreads for the customer segments narrowed by 10 basis points, and deposit spreads widened by 19 basis points.

1) DNB Bank ASA is a subsidiary of DNB ASA and part of the DNB Group. The DNB Bank Group, hereinafter called "the banking group", comprises the bank and the bank's subsidiaries. Other companies owned by DNB ASA, including DNB Livsforsikring and DNB Asset Management, are not part of the banking group. Operations in DNB ASA and the total DNB Group are not covered in this report but described in a separate report and presentation.

Net other operating income increased by NOK 2 696 million from the first three quarters of 2018, mainly due to a positive effect from basis swaps of NOK 1 648 million. Net commissions and fees were up NOK 78 million, compared with the first three quarters of 2018.

Total operating expenses increased by NOK 989 million from the first three quarters of 2018 due to increased IT expenses as well as higher salaries and personnel expenses. In addition, there was an impairment of a leasing contract of NOK 116 million.

Net impairment losses on financial instruments amounted to NOK 2 014 million in the first three quarters of 2019. This is an increase of NOK 2 387 million compared with the three first quarters of last year. The impairment losses were to a large extent related to one specific loan engagement in stage 3 in the large corporates and international customers segment. Furthermore, there were significant reversals related to the oil, gas and offshore segment in the first three quarters of 2018. The impairment losses in both the small and medium-sized enterprises segment and the personal customers segment were approximately at the same level as in the year-earlier period.

Operational leasing 445 413 383
Other net interest income 535 413 228
Net interest income 10 150 9 746 9 299

Net interest income increased by NOK 851 million or 9.2 per cent from the third quarter of 2018, mainly due to increased lending volumes in all segments and a positive contribution from deposit spreads.

There was an average increase of NOK 68.9 billion or 4.7 per cent in the healthy loan portfolio compared with the third quarter of 2018, backed by a positive development in the Norwegian economy. Adjusted for exchange rate effects, volumes were up NOK 51.4 billion or 3.5 per cent. During the same period, deposits were up NOK 8.1 billion or 0.9 per cent. Adjusted for exchange rate effects, there was a decrease of 0.4 per cent. Average lending spreads contracted by 15 basis points, and deposit spreads widened by 26 basis points compared with the third quarter of 2018. Volume-weighted spreads for the customer segments widened by 2 basis points compared with the same period in 2018, despite lag effects from increasing NOK money market rates.

Compared with the second quarter, net interest income increased by NOK 404 million, mainly due to positive effects from repricing and an additional interest day. There was an average increase of NOK 12.1 billion or 0.8 per cent in the healthy loan portfolio, and deposits were up NOK 15.3 billion or 1.6 per cent. Volume-weighted spreads for the customer segments remained stable.

The spreads in the third quarter of 2019 were positively impacted by interest rate adjustments with effect from August in the small and medium-sized enterprises and personal customers portfolios. The announced interest rate rise following Norges Bank's increase of the key policy rate in September will become effective from October for the small and medium-sized enterprises customers and from November for the personal customers.

Net other operating income

Net other operating income 3 672 3 670 2 623

Net other operating income was up NOK 1 049 million from the third quarter of 2018.The increase mainly reflected positive exchange rate effects on additional Tier 1 capital. Further, net commissions and fees increased by 7.4 per cent, partly due to higher activity in investment banking and real estate broking.

Compared with the second quarter, net other operating income was stable. Net commissions and fees decreased by NOK 234 million or 13.2 per cent from the second quarter due to seasonally lower activity within credit broking, corporate finance and real estate broking, while mark-to market effects related to changes in basis swap spreads were offset by positive exchange rate effects on additional Tier 1 capital.

Operating expenses

Amounts in NOK million 3Q19 2Q19 3Q18
Salaries and other personnel expenses (2 888) (2 974) (2 784)

Depreciation and impairment of fixed and

(865) (718) (489)
Total operating expenses (5 452) (5 510) (5 140)

There was an increase in operating expenses from the third quarter of 2018 of NOK 312 million. The increase was mainly due to higher salaries and other personnel expenses and impairment of a leasing contract of NOK 116 million. The introduction of IFRS 16 Leasing from 2019 led to reduced operating expenses for IT and properties and premises, but at the same time increased depreciation and interest costs.

Compared with the second quarter, there was a decrease in operating expenses of NOK 58 million despite impairment of a leasing contract of NOK 116 million. The main factors behind the decrease were seasonally lower IT expenses and reduced pension costs.

The cost/income ratio was 39.4 per cent in the third quarter.

Impairment of financial instruments

Personal customers (97) (68) (76)
Commercial real estate 6 (21) 20
Shipping (102) 5 (261)
Oil, gas and offshore 78 54 500
Other industry segments (1 132) (420) (193)
Total impairment of financial instruments (1 247) (450) (11)

Net impairment losses on financial instruments amounted to NOK 1 247 million in the third quarter. This was an increase of NOK 1 237 million compared with third quarter last year and NOK 798 million compared with the second quarter of 2019. The increase was primarily related to one specific loan engagement. Also, there were large reversals within the oil, gas and offshore segment in the third quarter of 2018.

The aforementioned loan engagement did not affect the rest of the portfolio, nor did it provide any other indicators of nonperformance. Asset quality remains strong and stable.

Both personal customers and commercial real estate experienced relatively stable macro forecasts and credit quality in the quarter.

There were net reversals of NOK 78 million for the oil, gas and offshore segment in the quarter, compared with net reversals of

NOK 500 million in the same quarter last year, and NOK 54 million in the second quarter of 2019. The reversals in the quarter resulted from a continued modest improvement in market conditions within the offshore industry.

The overall portfolio quality and the development in relevant macro drivers for the shipping portfolio were stable in the third quarter. However, increased impairment losses related to specific shipping customers resulted in net impairment losses of NOK 102 million. This is a decrease of NOK 159 million compared with the third quarter last year, and an increase of NOK 107 million compared with the second quarter of 2019.

The net impairment losses of NOK 1 132 million within other industry segments were primarily related to one specific loan engagement in stage 3. Apart from this, most industry segments experienced relatively stable macro forecasts and credit quality in the quarter.

Net stage 3 loans and financial commitments amounted to 0.9 per cent of maximum exposure net of accumulated impairment losses at end-September 2019.

Taxes

The banking group's tax expense for the third quarter has been estimated at NOK 1 417 million, or 20 per cent of pre-tax operating profits.

The personal customers segment delivered sound results in the third quarter of 2019, with a return on allocated capital of 14.8 per cent. A positive development in total income together with solid cost control contributed to the positive development.

Pressure on loan margins due to increased NOK money market rates was the main factor behind the decline in the combined spreads on loans and deposits. The combined spreads narrowed by 2 basis points from the second quarter of 2019 and 3 basis

points from the corresponding period in 2018. The announced interest rate hike will become effective in November.

There was a rise in average net loans of 3.1 per cent from the third quarter of 2018. The growth in the healthy home mortgage portfolio amounted to 3.3 per cent. Deposits from customers were up 4.0 per cent during the same period.

There was a positive trend in income from real estate broking activities from the third quarter of 2018, while income from payment services contributed negatively. Compared with the previous quarter, a positive development in income from payment services was offset by seasonally lower activity in real estate broking.

From the corresponding quarter in 2018, operating expenses rose by 9.1 per cent, mainly due to extensive IT activities. Costs were stable compared with the second quarter of 2019.

The personal customers segment experienced impairment of financial instruments of NOK 73 million in the third quarter, at the same level as the year-earlier period and previous quarter. Overall, the credit quality and macro forecasts were stable in the quarter and impairment losses remained at a very low level.

The market share of credit to households stood at 23.8 per cent at end-August 2019, while the market share of total household savings was 30.7 per cent in the same period. DNB Eiendom was a market leader in September with a market share of 19 per cent.

DNB is continuing to automate and digitise products and services. To offer a seamless customer experience, the bank is continuously working towards improving its solutions for digital selfservice. Samsolgt ('co-sold') by DNB Eiendom was launched in the third quarter. Samsolgt is a new, digital brokerage service with a fixed, low price, which is offered in the four largest cities in Norway.

1) Calculated relative to the 3-month money market rate. See ir.dnb.no for additional information about alternative performance measures (APMs).

Increases in both net interest income and other operating income contributed to solid profits in the third quarter of 2019 compared with the third quarter of 2018.

There was a rise in average loan volumes of 7.4 per cent from the third quarter of 2018, while average deposit volumes were up 3.1 per cent during the same period. The solid rise in loan volumes, in combination with a positive development in deposit spreads, ensured an increase in net interest income of 14.0 per cent compared with the third quarter of 2018.

Net other operating income increased by 22.9 per cent compared with the third quarter of 2018. This was mainly due to a rise in income from corporate finance activities and increased sale of interest rate hedging products.

Operating expenses increased by 10.7 per cent from the corresponding quarter in 2018. This was mainly related to costs connected with increased levels of activity within corporate finance and leasing.

Impairment losses on financial instruments amounted to NOK 16 million in the third quarter, a decrease of NOK 201 million from the third quarter of 2018 and NOK 245 million from the second quarter of 2019. The low impairment losses were primarily caused by net reversals on loans and financial commitments in stage 3 in the quarter.

Overall, the relevant macro forecasts and credit quality remained stable in the third quarter. Net stage 3 loans and financial commitments amounted to NOK 3.3 billion at end-September 2019, down from the year-earlier period and at the same level as the second quarter of 2019. Annualised impairment losses on loans and guarantees represented 0.02 per cent of average loans in the third quarter of 2019, compared with 0.29 per cent in the yearearlier period and 0.33 per cent in the second quarter of 2019.

DNB aspires to create the best customer experiences, to be the preferred platform for both entrepreneurs and established companies and to help make it easy to start and operate a business. Priority is given to streamlining products and services, and a number of new and ancillary services are thus being considered.

Increased net interest income and lower expenses are the main contributions to the pre-tax operating profit before impairment improving by 15.4 per cent compared with the third quarter of 2018.

Average loan volumes were up 6.8 per cent compared with the third quarter of 2018, primarily driven by higher activity in the financial institutions, healthcare and seafood sectors. Compared with the second quarter of 2019, average loan volumes remained stable, in line with expectations.

Average customer deposit volumes were down 4.7 per cent from the third quarter of 2018, while compared with the second quarter of this year, they decreased by 1.5 per cent.

Deposit spreads widened by 2 basis points compared with the third quarter of 2018, while lending spreads remained unchanged. Compared with the second quarter of 2019, both lending and deposit spreads increased, resulting in a weighted margin improvement of 3 basis points.

Increased NOK interest rates also resulted in higher return on allocated capital, which contributed to the increase in net interest income.

Net other operating income was up 3.1 per cent from the third quarter of 2018. Compared with the second quarter of 2019 there was a decrease of 25.4 per cent, primarily due to seasonally lower activity within investment banking and net losses on financial instruments at fair value.

Operating expenses were down 2.8 per cent compared with the third quarter of 2018, and 9.7 per cent compared with the second quarter of 2019.

Net impairment losses came to NOK 1 159 million in the quarter. Compared with the second quarter of 2019, there was an increase in impairment losses of NOK 1 049 million, while compared with the third quarter of 2018, which showed reversals, the increase was NOK 1 440 million. This can primarily be attributed to one specific loan engagement in stage 3. Macro forecasts show only small changes and overall the credit quality remains stable.

Net stage 3 loans and financial commitments amounted to NOK 15.6 billion at end-September 2019, down from the yearearlier period and on the same level as the second quarter of 2019. On an annualised basis, there were net impairment losses of 1.0 per cent of average loans in the quarter, compared with net impairment reversals of 0.3 per cent in the year-earlier period, and net impairment losses of 0.1 per cent of average loans in the second quarter of 2019.

Going forward, DNB will continue to focus on increasing the turnover in the portfolio, reducing final hold and making more active use of portfolio management tools.

The profit for the other operations segment was NOK 1 099 million in the third quarter of 2019.

Total revenues from the risk management operations in DNB Markets were NOK 186 million in the third quarter of 2019, compared with NOK 94 million in the second quarter and NOK 318 million in the corresponding period a year earlier. Income from money market activities made a positive contribution throughout the quarter.

The profit in the other operations segment was affected by several group items not allocated to the segments. Net other operating income in the third quarter was affected positively by exchange rate effects on additional Tier 1 capital and mark-tomarket effects related to changes in basis swap spreads. These items vary from quarter to quarter.

The banking group's share of profit in associated companies (most importantly Luminor and Vipps) is included in this segment.

Funding, liquidity and balance sheet

In the third quarter, DNB continued to have ample access to shortterm funding.

The general activity in the long-term funding markets was relatively low in the third quarter. This can partly be ascribed to seasonal variations due to holiday activity in Europe, but also to uncertainty related to various macroeconomic conditions, such as a possible trade agreement between the US and China, and the outcome of Brexit. This has led to expectations of lower global growth, which have caused a decrease in the already very low long-term interest rates. Based on this, the major central banks have reversed the measures they implemented last year when they attempted to normalise the monetary policy.

The nominal value of long-term debt securities issued by the banking group was NOK 627 billion at the end of the third quarter, compared with NOK 583 billion a year earlier. The average remaining term to maturity for these long-term debt securities was 3.8 years at the end of September, compared with 4.1 years a year earlier.

The short-term liquidity requirement, Liquidity Coverage Ratio, LCR, remained stable at above 100 per cent throughout the quarter and stood at 141 per cent at the end of the third quarter.

Total assets in the banking group's balance sheet were NOK 2 577 billion at the end of the third quarter and NOK 2 387 billion a year earlier.

Loans to customers increased by NOK 30.1 billion or 1.8 per cent in the third quarter compared with the second quarter of 2019. Customer deposits were down NOK 15.1 billion or 1.5 per cent during the same period. For the banking group, the ratio of customer deposits to net loans to customers was 58.8 per cent at end-September, down from 63.7 per cent a year earlier.

Capital

The banking group's common equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio, calculated according to transitional rules, was 17.2 per cent at the end of the third quarter of 2019, up from 16.7 per cent at end-June 2019. The completion of the sale of part of DNB's ownership share in Luminor and retained earnings were the main factors behind the increase.

The risk-weighted assets calculated according to transitional rules were reduced by NOK 9 billion from end-June 2019 to NOK 1 054 billion at end-September 2019.

The CET1 capital ratio without transitional rules was 18.9 per cent at end-September, up from 17.7 per cent at end-June. The increase is due to the closing of the Luminor transaction, retained earnings and a reduction in risk-weighted assets.

The non-risk based leverage ratio was 7.2 per cent at end-September 2019, up from 7.0 in the year-earlier period and 7.1 at end-June 2019.

Capital requirements

The capital adequacy regulations specify a minimum primary capital requirement based on risk-weighted assets that include credit risk, market risk and operational risk. In addition to meeting the minimum requirement, the banking group must satisfy various buffer requirements (Pillar 1 and Pillar 2 requirements).

3Q19 2Q19 3Q18
Transitional rules:
CET1 capital ratio, per cent 17.2 16.7 16.5
Tier 1 capital ratio, per cent 19.0 18.5 18.1
Capital ratio, per cent 21.9 21.3 20.9
Risk-weighted assets, NOK billion 1 054 1 063 1 024
CET1 capital ratio, without transitional
rules, per cent
18.9 17.7 17.3
Leverage ratio, per cent 7.2 7.1 7.0

Finanstilsynet (the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway) regularly performs reviews of institutions' risks and capital needs in a Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP). The new SREP from Finanstilsynet implies no changes in the overall buffer

requirement for the banking group. However, the Pillar 2 buffer requirement of 1.8 percentage points will be based on riskweighted assets at the end of 2018.

A proposal from the Ministry of Finance of 25 June implies an increase in the systemic risk buffer in addition to the already adopted increase in the countercyclical buffer in Norway from 2.0 to 2.5 per cent with effect from 31 December 2019. The effect for the banking group of these increased buffer requirements at end-September 2019 is 0.8 percentage points and 0.2 percentage points, respectively, but will be dependent on the credit exposures in the various countries going forward. The removal of the Basel I floor will reduce the risk-weighted assets and increase the CET1 capital ratio. The implementation of the SME supporting factor will also increase the ratio.

New regulatory framework

Home Mortgage Regulations under consideration

The current Home Mortgage Regulations expire on 31 December 2019.

At the request of the Ministry of Finance, Finanstilsynet has considered whether the Regulations should be continued, and if so, whether adjustments of individual elements are required.

Finanstilsynet proposes that the limit for debt in relation to income (maximum loan-to-income ratio) is reduced from 5 to 4.5 times gross annual income. The banks' flexibility quota, i.e. the limit for granting loans that do not meet one or more of the terms of the Home Mortgage Regulations, is proposed set at 5 per cent for the entire country. According to the current Regulations, this quota is 10 per cent, with the exception of Oslo, where the flexibility quota is 8 per cent. Finanstilsynet also proposes to repeal the special requirement of a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 60 per cent for loans for secondary housing in Oslo, so that the regulatory requirements are no longer geographically differentiated.

Finanstilsynet has obtained assessments from Norges Bank, which believes that the current Regulations have had the intended effect, and that the general development does not warrant significant changes in the requirements. However, Norges Bank agrees that the regulatory requirements should be the same across the country.

The Ministry of Finance has circulated the proposals for comments, and a decision is expected later in the fourth quarter.

Rules on secure customer authentication under PSD2 have entered into force

On 1 April 2019, the EU's revised Payment Services Directive, PSD2, entered into force in Norway. The legislation, which ensures third parties access to consenting customers' payment accounts and regulates how the authentication of clients via such third parties is to take place, entered into force on 14 September 2019. This means that the battle for the position as preferred interface for banking services for users with customer relationships in several banks has commenced. It is now possible for customers to have their accounts in selected other banks displayed in DNB's mobile bank.

Brexit still unresolved

It is not yet clear whether the United Kingdom will leave the EU on 31 October with or without a deal, as the British Prime Minister Boris Johnson wishes. It is uncertain whether the British Parliament will succeed in forcing the Prime Minister to seek a postponement from the EU, and if so, whether the EU will approve such a request. DNB nevertheless assumes that the UK will become a third country in an EU context at some point in the foreseeable future, and the bank is prepared for such a scenario. DNB's application to be regulated as a third-country branch in the UK has been prepared in consultation with the British authorities and is ready to be submitted the day Brexit occurs. On the same day, DNB will be subject to a temporary Special Permissions Regime regulating its operations in

the UK and services delivered from Norway/the EEA into the UK. The work with ensuring compliance with this temporary regime is well underway.

Debt information companies will provide better credit assessments

In 2017, the Norwegian government opened up for giving private players a licence to establish companies providing credit information in connection with credit assessments. As of 1 July 2019, two debt information companies are fully operational in Norway, and all banks licenced to provide unsecured loans are obliged to furnish these two companies with information about established loan agreements and home equity credit line agreements.

The purpose of the debt information services is to be an aid for both customers and banks. It is now easier for customers to get an overview of their own debt situation, and banks can easily check the amount of actual debt the loan applicant has. Banks can thus conduct a better credit assessment of customers seeking loans, which should prevent consumers from taking up more debt than they can service.

Macroeconomic developments

A strong macroeconomic situation in Norway is reflected in Norges Bank's four key policy rate increases. In Norway, both economic growth and capacity utilisation are higher than normal, and unemployment is low. This is primarily due to an upturn in the oil sector. High growth in the investment activity on the Norwegian Continental Shelf has a positive effect on large parts of the Norwegian business community. As several of the large projects are nearing completion, and there is a lack of new projects with a similar scope, the oil investment growth will slow down next year. Weak growth among DNB's main trading partners will put a damper on the industrial sector and Norwegian export. In total, DNB believes that the growth in the Norwegian economy will slow down next year and decrease further to a little below the normal level

(which DNB estimates at 1.75 per cent) in the following years. Unemployment (currently at 2.2 per cent in September) is likely to remain low for a while longer, but to eventually increase somewhat. This is also expected to result in the wage growth declining, having reached a relatively modest peak of 3.3 per cent this year. In September, Norges Bank raised the key policy rate for the fourth time in a year, to 1.50 per cent, but the bank also signalled that the interest rate peak has most likely been reached. DNB expects the key policy rate to remain at the current level in the years ahead, provided there are no new negative shocks.

A strong macroeconomic situation contributed to healthy lending growth, higher NOK interest rates and continued strong asset quality in the third quarter.

Future prospects

The Group's overriding financial target is a return on equity (ROE) above 12 per cent towards the end of 2019. Several factors will contribute to reaching the ROE target, including growth in capitallight products, profitable lending growth, higher NOK interest rates, greater cost efficiency, and optimal use of capital.

The increase in Norges Bank's key policy rate from 1.00 per cent to 1.25 per cent in June, followed by DNB's announcement of an increase in loan rates effective from August, will have full effect in the fourth quarter. The fourth rate hike announcement from Norges Bank from 1.25 per cent to 1.50 per cent in September, and DNB's subsequent announcement of increased loan rates effective from October for corporate customers and from November for personal customers, will have a positive effect on net interest income from the fourth quarter and full effect from the first quarter 2020.

The annual increase in lending volumes is anticipated to be 3 to 4 per cent in 2020, and with currency effects possibly somewhat higher in 2019.

It is DNB's ambition to have a cost/income ratio below 40 per cent towards the end of 2019.

Note 1 Basis for preparation

The quarterly financial statements for the DNB Bank Group have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and as adopted by the European Union. DNB Bank ASA has prepared the financial statements according to the Norwegian Ministry of Finance's regulations on annual accounts, Section 1-6, on the use of IFRS. When preparing the consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting principles and the carrying amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Estimates and assumptions are subject to continual evaluation and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be probable on the balance sheet date. A description of the accounting policies, significant estimates and areas where judgment is applied by the DNB Bank Group, can be found in note 1 Accounting principles in the annual report for 2018.

The DNB Bank Group applied the hedge accounting requirements of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments as of 1 January 2019. Hedging relationships in the DNB Bank Group that qualified for hedge accounting in accordance with IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement also qualify for hedge accounting under IFRS 9.

The DNB Bank Group applied the new accounting standard IFRS 16 Leases as of 1 January 2019. IFRS 16 Leases replaces IAS 17 Leases. IFRS 16 establishes significant new accounting requirements for lessees, while the requirements for lessors are more or less unchanged. For lessees, IFRS 16 eliminates the distinction between operating and finance leases as is required by IAS 17, and instead introduces a single lessee accounting model. When applying the new model, DNB Bank Group recognises a liability to make lease payments (lease liability) and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term (right-of-use asset). In the income statement, depreciation of the right-of-use assets is recognised separately from interest on lease liabilities.

DNB Bank Group has decided on the following policy choices and practical expedients:

  • to apply the low value exception (primarily for office equipment)
  • to not recognise non-lease components in the lease liability
  • to apply the modified retrospective approach for transition to IFRS 16, meaning that the DNB Bank Group has not restated the comparatives for 2018. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are measured at the same amount, taking into consideration prepayments, accruals and provisions recognised as of 31 December 2018.

The right-of-use asset is classified as part of the fixed assets in the balance sheet, while the lease liability is classified as other liabilities.

The major part of DNB's lease liabilities arises from leases on commercial real estate as well as some IT equipment. Within real estate, the most significant liabilities are related to head offices in Norway and DNB's international offices. The total lease liabilities and right-of-use assets on 1 January 2019 was NOK 6 billion for DNB Bank Group. The right-of-use-asset is assigned a risk weight of 100 per cent, and the impact on the CET1 capital ratio was approximately 8 basis points for DNB Bank Group.

The impact on profit and loss will vary over time, but the combination of interest and depreciation expenses from IFRS 16 is expected to be slightly higher than the lease expenses from IAS 17 at the start of the lease term and lower towards the end.

Note 2 Segments

According to DNB Bank's management model, the operating segments are independent profit centres that are fully responsible for their profit after tax and for achieving the targeted returns on allocated capital. DNB Bank has the following operating segments: Personal customers, Small and medium-sized enterprises, Large corporates and international customers and Risk management. The Risk management are included in Other operations. DNB's share of profit in associated companies (most importantly Luminor and Vipps) is included in Other operations.

Note 4 Development in gross carrying amount and maximum exposure

The following tables reconcile the opening and closing balances for gross carrying amount and the maximum exposure for loans to customers at amortised cost and financial commitments. Maximum exposure is the gross carrying amount of loans to customers plus offbalance exposure, which mainly includes guarantees, unutilised credit lines and loan offers. Reconciling items include the following:

  • Transfers between stages due to significant changes in credit risk
  • Changes due to the derecognition of loans and financial commitments during the period
  • Changes due to the origination of new financial instruments during the period
  • Exchange rate movements and other changes affecting the gross carrying amount and maximum exposure

Note 5 Development in accumulated impairment of financial instruments

The following tables reconcile the opening and closing balances for accumulated impairment of loans to customers at amortised cost and financial commitments. Reconciling items includes the following:

  • Transfers between stages due to significant changes in credit risk. The transfers are presumed to occur before the subsequent remeasurement of the allowance
  • Changes due to transfers between 12-month expected credit loss in stage 1 and lifetime expected credit loss in stages 2 and 3
  • Increases and decreases in expected credit loss resulting from changes in input parameters and assumptions, including macro forecasts, as well as the effect of partial repayments on existing facilities and the unwinding of the time value of discounts due to the passage of time
  • Changes in allowance due to the origination of new financial instruments during the period
  • Changes in allowance due to the derecognition of financial instruments during the period
  • Write-offs, exchange rate movements and other changes affecting the expected credit loss

1) DNB has performed a recalibration of the IFRS 9 models used for stage 1 and stage 2 loans and financial commitments in the second quarter of 2019. The net effect of the recalibration is an increase in expected credit loss of approximately NOK 70 million. As the recalibration resulted in both increases and decreases on a financial instrument level, the effect is included in the flows 'increased expected credit loss' and 'decreased (reversed) expected credit loss'.

Sensitivity analysis, level 3

An increase in the discount rate on fixed-rate loans by 10 basis points will decrease the fair value by NOK 30 million in DNB Bank ASA and 144 million in DNB Bank Group. The effects on other Level 3 financial instruments are insignificant.
