| Information about the DNB Group 29 | |
|---|---|
A strong macroeconomic situation contributed to healthy lending growth, higher NOK interest rates, increased activity-based fees and commissions, somewhat higher cost inflation and continued strong asset quality.
The second quarter of 2019 showed a solid profit of NOK 6 134 million driven by increased net interest income as well as higher income from net commissions and fees. The profit was at the same level as in the second quarter of 2018, however the yearearlier period included a gain of NOK 464 million related to the merger of Vipps, BankID Norge and BankAxept. Compared with the previous quarter, profits decreased by NOK 1 448 million, due to the fact that first quarter was positively affected by a gain of NOK 1 740 million from the establishment of the insurance company Fremtind.
Earnings per share were NOK 3.71, compared with NOK 3.65 in the year-earlier period and NOK 4.61 in the first quarter.
The common equity Tier 1 capital ratio was 16.5 per cent at end-June, an increase from 16.2 per cent a year earlier, and up from 16.4 per cent at end-March 2019. The leverage ratio for the Group was 7.1 per cent.
Return on equity was 11.3 per cent, compared with 11.8 per cent in the year-earlier period and 14.1 per cent in the first quarter.
Profitable volume growth in all customer segments and repricing effects led to an increase in net interest income of NOK 529 million or 5.8 per cent from the second quarter of 2018, and NOK 291 million or 3.1 per cent from the first quarter.
Net other operating income was NOK 4 472 million, up NOK 1 027 million from the second quarter of 2018. There was a 3.4 per cent increase in net commissions and fees, as well as higher net gains on financial instruments at fair value stemming from mark-tomarket adjustments. Compared with the first quarter, net other operating income was up NOK 700 million with a healthy increase in net commissions and fees.
Operating expenses were NOK 511 million higher than in the year-earlier period and NOK 408 million compared with the first quarter. The increase was due to higher investments in compliance and IT security, and a provision for a legal claim of NOK 200 million related to the DNB Norge case.
Impairment losses on financial instruments amounted to NOK 450 million in the second quarter, which is an increase of NOK 504 million from the second quarter of 2018 and NOK 134 million from the first quarter of 2019. The increase in impairment losses compared with the same quarter last year was primarily related to a negative development for individually assessed customers in stage 3 and reversals within the large corporates and international customers segment in the second quarter of 2018. The small and medium-sized enterprises segment experienced somewhat higher impairment losses than the large corporates and international customers segment and the personal customers segment, but the losses were still at a low level. Overall, most macro forecasts were stable in the quarter and in line with expectations in previous quarters. The asset quality remains strong.
On 13 June, Kjerstin Braathen was appointed new Group Chief Executive of DNB after Rune Bjerke, who earlier this year had communicated to the Board of Directors that he wished to resign from the position on 1 September. Kjerstin Braathen has worked in DNB for more than 20 years and comes from the position as Chief Financial Officer.
At the Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on 30 April, Berit Svendsen resigned from the Board of Directors, and Gro Bakstad was elected as a new board member.
Furthermore, the AGM resolved a reduction in the company's share capital by cancelling or redeeming a total of 24 065 503 shares repurchased according to the authorisation given by the AGM in 2018. The total number of issued shares after the cancellation is 1 580 301 385, which has been reflected in the accounts as of 30 June 2019. The AGM also authorised DNB ASA to repurchase up to 3.5 per cent of the company's share capital. In addition, DNB Markets was authorised to purchase 0.5 per cent for hedging purposes. Initially, DNB has applied and received approval for a 2.5 per cent repurchase limit from Finanstilsynet (the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway), whereof 0.5 per cent can only be used for hedging purposes by DNB Markets.
DNB launched several new digital services in the second quarter, including a digital fund adviser and the accounting solution DNB Regnskap, which will make life easier for small businesses. DNB is the very first bank to offer banking and accounting all in one.
In the second quarter, it was announced that DNB has established car financing operations in Finland through an alliance with the car importer Bassadone Automotive Nordic (BAN), which already has a market share of 13 per cent in Finland.
As a consequence of the implementation of PSD2 in Norway as of 1 April, DNB has opened its APIs to everyone, and these are now ready for testing. The target audience is primarily fintechs, other banks, developers and technology students.
Through the insurance company Fremtind, DNB now offers a full range of non-life insurance products to suit most small and medium-sized enterprises.
In May, DNB launched green loans. The green criteria are based on market standards such as the Green Loan Principles, and this puts DNB at the forefront when it comes to maintaining transparency around sustainable lending operations.
DNB Markets acted as joint book runner and sustainability bond advisor on a SEK 2 billion sustainability bond issued by Millicom in May under their inaugural Sustainability Bond Framework. This marks the first time DNB Markets advises a client on a sustainability bond framework, covering both environmental and social investments.
In April, DNB's life insurance company DNB Livsforsikring AS acquired one of the buildings at DNB's head office in Oslo from SBB Norden AB at a net property value of NOK 4 488 million. The takeover took place on 30 April.
In June, DNB Livsforsikring AS accepted Euronext's offer to buy DNB Livsforsikring's shareholding of 19.82 per cent in Oslo Børs VPS Holding ASA.
The ruling of the Court of Appeal in the DNB Norge case was announced in May. The court ruled in favour of the Norwegian Consumer Council in the group action, where they had demanded a price reduction and compensation for the management of the DNB Norge mutual funds. DNB disagrees with the ruling of the Court of Appeal and has now appealed the case to the Supreme Court.
In May, DNB was named the ODA Award Organization of the year. Each year, ODA - the leading technology network for women in the Nordic region - issues awards for concrete and effective efforts to increase gender balance and diversity in the technology industry. This year, the coveted ODA Award Organization went to DNB for its strategic approach to equality and diversity.
In May, the Universum Student Survey rated DNB Norway's most attractive workplace among business students for the sixth year running. Among IT students, the bank has bounced back to third place, up from a fifth place last year.
On 15 May, DNB was awarded HR Norge's competence award Kompetansepris 2019 for its strong commitment to focusing on competence in a challenging change process. The competence award is given to a business or organisation that has achieved particularly good results in the field of human resources and organisational development.
At the event "Insurance Brokers' Day", DNB was voted the market's best pension provider of the year. All insurance brokers in the market cast their votes in this rating, and the prize is awarded to the company that delivers the highest quality in several different areas.
During the second quarter, Moody's upgraded its outlook for DNB from negative to stable. The long-term counterparty risk rating was downgraded from Aa1 to Aa2.
Norges Bank raised the key policy rate to 1.25 per cent on 20 June. The following day, DNB announced an interest rate rise on mortgages, as well as an increase in deposit rates on several savings products.
DNB recorded profits of NOK 13 716 million in the first half of 2019, up NOK 1 979 million from the first half of 2018. Return on equity was 12.7 per cent, compared with 11.4 per cent in the year-earlier period, and earnings per share were NOK 8.33, up from NOK 7.01 in the first half of 2018.
Net interest income increased by NOK 811 million 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 5.7 per cent parallel to a 0.3 per cent increase in average deposit volumes from the first half of 2018. The combined spreads widened by 4 basis points compared with the year-earlier period. Average lending spreads for the customer segments narrowed by 7 basis points, and deposit spreads widened by 16 basis points.
Net other operating income increased by NOK 1 933 million from the first half of 2018, mainly due to a positive effect from basis swaps of NOK 1 672 million. Net commissions and fees showed a healthy increase and were up NOK 188 million, or 4.1 per cent, compared with the first half of 2018.
Total operating expenses increased by NOK 842 million from the first half of 2018 due to higher investments in compliance and IT security, and a provision of NOK 200 million for a legal claim related to the DNB Norge case.
There were impairment losses on financial instruments of NOK 766 million in the first half of 2019, an increase of NOK 1 150 million from the first half of 2018. The increase was primarily related to the large corporates and international customers segment which experienced substantial reversals in the first half of 2018. The small and medium-sized enterprises segment also experienced an increase in impairment losses, while the personal customers segment remained at the same low level as last year. The increase in impairment losses was also explained by a negative credit development for specific corporate customers with significant impairment losses. Overall, most macro drivers showed a stable development in the first half of 2019 with limited impact on impairment losses.

Net interest income increased by NOK 529 million or 5.8 per cent from the second quarter of 2018, mainly due to increased lending volumes in all customer segments and positive effects from repricing.
There was an average increase of NOK 90.3 billion or 6.3 per cent in the healthy loan portfolio compared with the second quarter of 2018, backed by a positive development in the Norwegian economy. Adjusted for exchange rate effects, volumes were up NOK 74.5 billion or 5.2 per cent. During the same period, deposits were up NOK 4.4 billion or 0.5 per cent. Adjusted for exchange rate effects, there was a decrease of 0.7 per cent. Average lending spreads contracted by 3 basis points, and deposit spreads widened by 13 basis points compared with the second quarter of 2018. Volume-weighted spreads for the customer segments widened by 5 basis points compared with the same period in 2018, despite lag effects from increasing NOK money market rates.
Compared with the first quarter, net interest income increased by NOK 291 million, mainly due to an additional interest day and positive effects from repricing. There was an average increase of NOK 23.3 billion or 1.6 per cent in the healthy loan portfolio, and deposits were up NOK 13.8 billion or 1.5 per cent. Volume-weighted spreads for the customer segments were stable.
The spreads in the second quarter of 2019 were positively impacted by interest rate adjustments from March in the small and medium-sized and personal customers portfolios. The announced interest rate rise following Norges Bank's increased key policy rate in June, will become effective from July for the small and mediumsized customers and from August for the personal customers.

Net other operating income was up NOK 1 027 million from the second quarter of 2018. The sale of non-life insurance products (Fremtind) contributed to an increase of 3.4 per cent in net commissions and fees, and there were higher revenues in real estate broking. Revenues from investment banking services were somewhat reduced from a very high level in the second quarter of 2018.
Compared with the first quarter, net other operating income increased by NOK 700 million. Net commissions and fees showed a strong performance in all areas and increased by NOK 318 million or 14.3 per cent from the first quarter.

There was an increase in operating expenses from the second quarter of 2018 of NOK 511 million. The increase was mainly due to a provision of NOK 200 million related to the DNB Norge case and increased investments in compliance and IT security. The introduction of IFRS 16 from 2019 led to reduced operating expenses for IT and properties and premises, but at the same time increased depreciation costs.
Compared with the first quarter, there was an increase in operating expenses of NOK 408 million.The cost/income ratio was 41.9 per cent in the second quarter.

Impairment losses on financial instruments amounted to NOK 450 million in the second quarter, which is an increase of NOK 504 million from the second quarter of 2018 and NOK 134 million from the first quarter of 2019. The increase in impairment losses was not related to specific industries or lower asset quality, but was to a large extent due to a negative development for individually assessed customers in stage 3. This increase was to a certain degree curtailed by a continued modest improvement in the macro forecast for oil, gas and offshore.
The personal customers and commercial real estate segments experienced relatively stable macro and credit quality forecasts which resulted in continued low losses in the quarter.
There were net reversals of NOK 54 million for the oil, gas and offshore segment in the quarter. This is an increase in impairment losses, or a reduction in net reversals, of NOK 103 million compared with the second quarter of 2018. Compared with the first quarter of 2019, impairment losses were reduced by NOK 100 million. A modestly positive macro development contributed favourably, but the reversals where somewhat curtailed by increased impairment losses on individually assessed customers in stage 3 within offshore. This is in line with previous quarters, where the overall market trend is slightly positive, while challenges still remain for certain customers.
Shipping experienced net reversals of NOK 5 million in the quarter. Container and dry bulk experienced a negative macro development while tankers and gas carriers trended positively, with the net result being a low level of impairment losses.
The net impairment losses of NOK 420 million within other industry segments reflected a negative development for a couple of specific customers in stage 3. Aside from this, the macro forecast remained stable for most segments compared with the previous quarter and the same quarter last year.
DNB performed a recalibration of the IFRS 9 models used for stage 1 and 2 loans in the second quarter. The net effect on impairment of financial instruments is a reversal of NOK 6 million, but with varying effects for the different customer segments.
Net stage 3 loans and financial commitments amounted to NOK 20.8 billion at end-June 2019.
The DNB Group's tax expense for the second quarter has been estimated at NOK 1 541 million, or 20 per cent of pre-tax operating profits.
Financial governance in DNB is adapted to the different customer segments. Reported figures reflect total sales of products and services to the relevant segments.

The personal customers segment delivered sound results in the second quarter of 2019, with a return on allocated capital of 15.2 per cent. A rise in total income together with stable costs 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 by 0.01 percentage points from the first quarter of 2019. Combined spreads remained stable from the second quarter of 2018. The announced interest rate hike will become effective from 8 August.
There was a rise in average net loans of 3.4 per cent from the second quarter of 2018. The growth in the home mortgage portfolio amounted to 3.9 per cent. Deposits from customers were up 3.1 per cent during the same period.
The establishment of Fremtind affected both income and expenses compared with the previous year, as the non-life insurance activity in DNB Forsikring was consolidated into the personal customers segment in 2018. There was a positive trend in fee income from insurance products. A seasonally high level of activity in real estate broking ensured a rise in net other operating income from the first quarter of 2019.
Reduced costs due to the establishment of Fremtind offset increased expenses from extensive IT activities, resulting in stable costs compared with the second quarter of 2018. Seasonally high activity in DNB Eiendom explains rising costs from the first quarter of 2019.
The personal customers segment experienced impairment of financial instruments of NOK 76 million in the second quarter. This was down NOK 25 million compared with both the second quarter of 2018 and the first quarter of 2019. 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 23.9 per cent at end-April 2019, while the market share of total household savings was 30.5 per cent. DNB Eiendom had an average market share of 18.3 per cent in the second quarter.
DNB is continuing to automate and digitise products and services. More than 60 per cent of DNB's active customers use DNB's new, cloud-based mobile bank. An increasing proportion of our customers' digital everyday banking is performed in the mobile bank, which is continually launching improved functionality and new services. Google Pay was launched for DNB's customers in the second quarter.

Increases in both net interest income and other operating income contributed to solid profits in the second quarter of 2019 compared with the second quarter of 2018.
There was a rise in average loans of 7.8 per cent from the second quarter of 2018, while average deposit volumes were up 3.5 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 9.2 per cent compared with the second quarter of 2018.
Net other operating income increased by 3.4 per cent compared with the second quarter of 2018. This was mainly due to a rise in income from cash management and pension products.
Operating expenses increased by 8.2 per cent from the corresponding quarter in 2018. This was mainly related to costs connected with new strategic initiatives and increased costs related to compliance with regulatory requirements in the financial sector, as well as new activity in Finland.
Impairment losses on financial instruments amounted to NOK 261 million in the second quarter, an increase of NOK 228 million from the second quarter of 2018 and NOK 85 million from the first quarter of 2019. Overall, the relevant macro forecasts and credit quality remained relatively stable in the second quarter. The impairment was partly caused by increased impairment losses on several individually assessed customers in stage 3 within different industry segments. The remaining effect was largely related to the recalibration of the IFRS 9 models used for stage 1 and 2 loans. The impact of the recalibration was increased impairment losses of approximately NOK 75 million.
Net stage 3 loans and financial commitments amounted to NOK 4 billion at end-June 2019, at the same level as the year-earlier period and the first quarter of 2019. Annualised impairment losses on loans and guarantees represented 0.33 per cent of average loans in the second quarter of 2019, compared with 0.04 per cent in the year-earlier period and 0.23 per cent in the first quarter of 2019.
Digital platforms and new business models challenge traditional banks. DNB aspires to create the best customer experiences, be the preferred platform for both entrepreneurs and established companies and help make it easy to start and operate a business. DNB is now offering the app DNB Regnskap, which integrates accounting and billing with banking transactions. Priority is given to streamlining products and services, and a number of new and ancillary services are thus being considered.

Increases in both net interest income and net other operating income together with stable costs contributed to improved pre-tax operating profit compared to the first quarter of 2019.
Average loan volumes were up 9.4 per cent compared with the second quarter of 2018, primarily driven by higher activity in the financial services, real estate and seafood industries. The growth slowed down towards the end of the quarter. Compared with the first quarter of 2019, average loan volumes increased by 2.5 per cent, in line with expectations.
Average customer deposit volumes were down 4.7 per cent from the second quarter of 2018, while they increased by 1.2 per cent from the first quarter of 2019.
Both lending and deposit spreads improved compared with the second quarter of 2018, contributing to an increase in net interest income of 4.1 per cent. Compared with the first quarter of 2019, both lending and deposit spreads remained unchanged.
Other operating income was in line with expectations and at the same level as in the second quarter of 2018. Compared with the first quarter of 2019, the increase was 13.9 per cent, primarily due to seasonally higher activity within investment banking.
Operating expenses remained unchanged compared with the first quarter of 2019, while they increased by 6.4 per cent compared with the second quarter of 2018. The increase was mainly due to higher investments in compliance-related activities.
Net impairment losses ended at NOK 110 million in the quarter. Compared with the second quarter of 2018, the increase constituted NOK 299 million, while compared with the first quarter of 2019, there was an increase in impairment losses of NOK 71 million. The increase was primarily due to impairment losses on individually assessed customers in stage 3 as well as restructurings for certain large customers in the second quarter of 2018. Macro figures showed only small changes and the overall credit quality remained stable. The impairments was impacted by recalibration and improvements of the IFRS 9 models used for stage 1 and 2 loans in the quarter. The impact of the recalibration was reversals of impairment losses of approximately NOK 60 million.
Net stage 3 loans and financial commitments amounted to NOK 15 billion at end-June 2019, down from NOK 19 billion in the yearearlier period and at the same level as in the first quarter of 2019. On an annualised basis, there were net impairment losses of 0.10 per cent of average loans in the quarter, compared with net impairment reversals of 0.19 per cent in the second quarter of 2018, and net impairment losses of 0.04 per cent of average loans in the first quarter of 2019.
This segment includes the results from risk management in DNB Markets and from traditional pension products. In addition, the other operations segment includes Group items not allocated to the customer segments.

The profit for the other operations segment was NOK 854 million in the second quarter of 2019.
Deposits from customers 25.5 49.3 56.8
Total revenues from the risk management operations in DNB Markets were NOK 94 million in the second quarter of 2019, which was a decrease of NOK 269 million from the first quarter of 2019 and NOK 152 million from the year-earlier period. Income related to market making and other trading was significantly reduced compared with the corresponding quarter last year, due to low income from fixed-income instruments and increased valuation adjustments for derivatives.
For traditional pension products with a guaranteed rate of return, net other operating income was at a strong level of NOK 375 million in the second quarter, up NOK 83 million from the yearearlier period, reflecting an increase in profits in the common portfolio. DNB Livsforsikring had a solvency margin of 186 per cent according to the transitional rules, while the margin calculated without the transitional rules was 150 per cent as at 30 June 2019.
The profit in the other operations segment is affected by several group items not allocated to the segments. Net other operating income in the second quarter was affected positively by mark-tomarket effects related to changes in basis swap spreads and negative exchange rate effects on additional Tier 1 capital. These items vary from quarter to quarter.
The increase in operating expenses from the previous period was mainly due to a provision for legal claims of NOK 200 million related to the DNB Norge case.
DNB's share of profit in associated companies (most importantly Luminor, Vipps and Fremtind) is included in this segment.
The short-term funding markets showed a positive development in the second quarter. The USD interest rate curve levelled out, and this had a favourable effect on funding in all currencies. Investors are less hesitant as they do not expect higher interest rates in the time ahead, and are subsequently more willing to invest. This contributes to reducing the cost of building liquidity buffers compared with previous years. DNB has ample access to shortterm funding.
The activity in the long-term funding markets was somewhat lower in the second quarter compared with the first quarter of 2019, mainly due to slightly higher costs of new funding, combined with several public holidays in April and May. However, the activity picked up in June, helped by slightly lower funding costs. Covered bonds saw a relatively low level of activity in the second quarter. The reason for this was the strong issuance activity in the first quarter, along with some uncertainty surrounding the continued interest rate developments. The funding costs for covered bonds are nonetheless at favourable levels, and DNB had good access to long-term funding throughout the quarter.
The nominal value of long-term debt securities issued by the Group was NOK 615 billion at the end of the second quarter, compared with NOK 583 billion a year earlier. The average remaining term to maturity for these debt securities was 4.0 years at end-June, down from 4.3 years in the year-earlier period.
The short-term liquidity requirement, Liquidity Coverage Ratio, LCR, remained stable at above 100 per cent throughout the quarter and stood at 146 per cent at end-June.
Total combined assets in the DNB Group were NOK 3 226 billion at end-June, up from NOK 3 181 billion a year earlier. Total assets in the Group's balance sheet were NOK 2 879 billion at end-June 2019 and NOK 2 857 billion a year earlier. Of this, total assets in DNB Livsforsikring amounted to NOK 330 billion and NOK 319 billion, respectively.
Loans to customers increased by NOK 19.8 billion or 1.2 per cent in the second quarter compared with the first quarter of 2019. Customer deposits were up NOK 24.1 billion or 2.5 per cent during the same period. The ratio of customer deposits to net loans to customers was 60.4 per cent at end-June 2019, down from 65.9 per cent a year earlier.
The DNB Group's Basel III common equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio, calculated according to transitional rules, was 16.5 per cent at the end of the second quarter of 2019, up from 16.4 per cent at end-March 2019. Retained earnings were the main factor behind the increase.
At the end of the second quarter of 2019, DNB issued an additional Tier 1 capital instrument of NOK 2 700 million.
The risk-weighted assets increased by NOK 8 billion from end-March 2019 to NOK 1 089 billion at end-June 2019. There was an underlying growth in the segments while exchange rate effects curtailed the volume growth
The CET1 capital ratio according to Basel III, was 17.3 per cent at end-June 2019, an increase of 22 basis points from end-March 2019. The increase is due to higher capital as a consequence of retained earnings, while volume growth curtailed the increase.
The non-risk based leverage ratio was 7.1 per cent at end-June 2019, up from 6.8 in the year-earlier period and from 7.0 per cent at end-March 2019.
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, DNB must satisfy various buffer requirements (Pillar 1 and Pillar 2 requirements).

The Norwegian Ministry of Finance has confirmed the removal of the Basel I transitional floor as from year-end 2019, but has signalled that the overall required capital level for Norwegian banks will nevertheless be maintained after this removal.
A proposal from the Ministry of Finance of 25 June (as described in the new regulatory framework below) implies a higher capital requirement for DNB as a consequence of an increase in the systemic risk buffer from 3.0 per cent to 4.5 per cent in addition to the already adopted increase in the countercyclical buffer from 2.0 to 2.5 per cent with effect from 31 December 2019. The effect for DNB of these increased buffer requirements at end-June 2019 is 0.9 per cent and 0.4 per cent, respectively, but will be dependent on the credit exposures in the various countries going forward. The removal of the Basel I floor and the implementation of the SME supporting factor will reduce the risk-weighted assets and increase the CET1 capital ratio. The current draft proposal from the Ministry implies an increase in the capital requirement for DNB, based on the above, of approximately 30 basis points.
As the DNB Group consists of both a credit institution and an insurance company, DNB has to satisfy a cross-sectoral calculation test to demonstrate that it complies with the sectoral requirements: the capital adequacy requirement in accordance with CRD IV and the Solvency II requirement. At end-June 2019, DNB complied with these requirements by a good margin, with excess capital of NOK 10.9 billion.
On 25 June, the Norwegian Ministry of Finance circulated for comment a proposal for amendments to the capital requirements for banks. The purpose of the proposal is to prevent a weakening of the capital level of Norwegian banks when the Norwegian legislation is scheduled to be harmonised with the EU's capital requirements legislation, CRR/CRD IV, in the autumn of 2019. This legislation was incorporated into the EEA Agreement in March, and implies, among other things, that the Basel I floor, which is unique to Norway, must be removed and that the capital requirement for loans to small and medium-sized enterprises must be reduced (the SME supporting factor).
This alignment with EEA legislation means that DNB and other banks using internal ratings-based (IRB) models may apply lower risk weights in their risk calculations. The Ministry of Finance proposes to offset this effect by increasing the systemic risk buffer requirement from 3 to 4.5 per cent, with effect from 31 December 2019 for IRB banks. For other banks, the Ministry further proposes that the increased requirement may be phased in up until the end of 2021.
The Ministry is also considering introducing temporary minimum requirements for the average risk-weighting of home mortgages and commercial real estate loans of 20 and 35 per cent, respectively. This measure will thus primarily affect foreign banks operating in
Norway, as the risk-weighting in these banks can be low. The deadline for comments to the proposal is 30 September 2019.
The European Commission's action plan on sustainable finance includes a number of different initiatives, and the pace of development is high. The Commission has, among other things, presented draft legislation for establishing a classification system for sustainable economic activities, including an EU standard for green bonds, a proposal that establishes financial benchmarks for carbon footprints and a proposal that imposes more stringent requirements for disclosures relating to sustainable investments and sustainability risks.
The work with the classification system will form a particularly important foundation when the financial services industry is to assess which activities and industries that can be considered sustainable.
In the so-called Banking Package, the EU has also adopted that banks must disclose sustainability and ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) risks within 2022. The European Banking Authority (EBA) will prepare a report in 2021 concerning ESG risk management in banks, including how supervisory authorities can follow up on this in their supervisory activities (Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process – SREP). The EBA shall also, within 2025, report on whether it is appropriate to give banks a capital requirements discount for 'green' assets and/or increased capital requirements for 'brown' assets.
On 29 May, the working group that has been evaluating the Norwegian implementation of the new EU rules on securitisation delivered its recommendations to the Norwegian Ministry of Finance. DNB has participated in a reference group that has provided input to the working group during the process.
The working group has assumed that national rules may not deviate from or be in violation of the underlying purpose of the provisions of the EU regulations. DNB is thus one step closer to a system where Norwegian banks can gain the same access as banks in the EU to use this type of instrument for funding as well as for risk and liquidity management. The report has now been circulated for comment, and the deadline for comments is 23 September.
The current Home Mortgage Regulations expire on 31 December 2019. The Norwegian Ministry of Finance has asked Finanstilsynet (the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway) to provide an assessment of whether the Regulations should be continued, and if so, whether adjustments of individual elements are required. Finanstilsynet will also look at the need for changing the wording of the Regulations in light of the new requirements for banks' lending practices for consumer loans.
In order to comply with the Norwegian Financial Institutions Act, each individual bank must ensure that customers have the possibility to deposit and withdraw cash, either facilitated by the bank itself or through agreement with other cash service providers. In the Financial Markets Report 2019, the Norwegian Ministry of Finance underlines that all banks have a responsibility to contribute to a sustainable overall offering. If the banks join forces to establish appropriate common solutions, or individually enter into agreements that in other ways ensure that all bank customers have access to satisfactory cash services, the Ministry will look at how the banks' duties should be specified in an act or regulations.
In February 2019, Finance Norway and the industry's infrastructure company, Bits AS, established a project with the purpose of assessing specific collaborative solutions for cash
services. The project aims to draw up a proposal to present to the banks later in 2019.
Recent GDP growth among trading partners has been higher than projected, but growth prospects have deteriorated further. There were reductions for all major economies except for the eurozone, which remained unchanged. The global level is still not much below the historical average since 2002, pointing towards global growth slightly below normal. On the other hand, the global recession risk has risen somewhat over the past month. The renewed setback was hardly a surprise after the escalation of the trade war between the US and China in May, with increased possibility of a further build-up in both tariff and non-tariff barriers between the two economies. Combined with a somewhat higher Brexit risk, this seems likely to have increased the political uncertainty recently. The weaker outlook has weighed on the markets' policy rate expectations.
In the US, the Federal Reserve (Fed) decided at the June meeting to keep the Fed funds rate unchanged at 2.25-2.50 per cent as expected. The view of the economy is only marginally weaker than in May, as consumer demand has picked up.
In the eurozone, the GDP rose by 0.4 per cent from the fourth quarter to the first quarter. This was a significantly stronger development than the market had expected and 0.2 percentage points above the forecast from the European Central Bank (ECB).
In Norway, capacity utilisation appears to be rising, while inflation has been higher than Norges Bank's inflation target. This development is the main reason for Norges Bank's gradual removal of the monetary policy stimuli. Petroleum investments are a major growth driver this year, and the investments survey for the second quarter was more upbeat than in the first quarter, for 2020 investments as well. Norges Bank's Regional Network Survey confirmed relatively strong actual growth and a solid outlook for the next six months. Exports of traditional goods rose markedly in the second half of 2018, but growth has slowed down in 2019, probably partly due to the slowdown abroad. The wage settlements concluded agreements that set a benchmark wage growth at 3.2 per cent for 2019. So far this year, core inflation has been above the inflation target of 2.0 per cent, but it is slowing down. Both LFS (Labour Force Survey) unemployment and registered unemployment are trending lower. In April, DNB Markets forecasted mainland GDP to increase by 2.4 per cent in 2019 and 2.1 per cent in 2020. In June, Norges Bank decided to increase the key policy rate by 25 basis points, and announced that there is a high probability of another rate hike in September.
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 through the automation of internal processes, and optimal use of capital.
The increase in Norges Bank's key policy rate from 0.75 per cent to 1.00 per cent in March, followed by DNB's announcement of an increase in loan rates effective from 8 May, will have full effect in the third quarter. The second rate hike announcement from Norges Bank from 1.00 per cent to 1.25 per cent in June, and DNB's subsequent announcement of increased loan rates effective from July and August, will have a positive effect on net interest income from the third quarter.
The annual increase in lending volumes is anticipated to be 3 to 4 per cent in 2019 and 2020. During this period, higher growth in lending volumes is expected for personal customers and small and medium-sized enterprises, while lending to large corporates and international customers is expected to grow at a slower pace.
It is DNB's ambition to have a cost/income ratio below 40 per cent towards the end of 2019. The tax rate for the full year is expected to be 18 per cent in 2019 and 20 per cent in 2020.
The common equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio according to Basel I (transitional rules) was 16.5 per cent as at 30 June 2019, while the CET1 capital ratio according to Basel III was 17.3 per cent.
The common equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio according to Basel I (transitional rules) was 16.5 per cent as at 30 June 2019, while the CET1 capital ratio according to Basel III was 17.3 per cent. The Ministry of Finance has signalled that the overall required capital level for Norwegian banks will be maintained after the removal of the Basel I transitional floor. The current draft proposal implies an increase in the capital requirement for DNB of approximately 30 basis points.
The sale of part of DNB's shares in Luminor to Blackstone is expected to be finalised in the second half of 2019. The second phase of the investment in Fremtind is delayed to the first quarter of 2020. The transactions will affect the CET1 capital ratio positively by approximately 30 basis points (Luminor) and negatively by 10 basis points (Fremtind).
The Group's dividend policy remains unchanged, with a payout ratio of more than 50 per cent and an increase in the nominal dividend per share each year. In addition to dividend payments, repurchases of own shares will be used as a flexible tool to allocate excess capital to DNB's owners.
The Annual General Meeting of 2019 has given the Board of Directors an authorisation to repurchase up to 3.5 per cent of the company's share capital as well as an authorisation to DNB Markets of 0.5 per cent for hedging purposes, valid up to the Annual General Meeting in 2020. DNB has also received approval from Finanstilsynet to repurchase up to 2 per cent of outstanding shares as well as 0.5 per cent for hedging purposes, assuming DNB meets the capital requirements.

1) Recorded under "Due from credit institutions" in the balance sheet.
The quarterly financial statements for the 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. 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 Group, can be found in note 1 Accounting principles in the annual report for 2018.
The Group applied the hedge accounting requirements of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments as of 1 January 2019. Hedging relationships in the 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 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 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 has decided on the following policy choices and practical expedients:
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. 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.
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.
According to DNB'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 has the following operating segments: Personal customers, Small and medium-sized enterprises, Large corporates and international customers, Risk management and Traditional pension products. The Risk management and Traditional pension products segments are included in Other operations. DNB's share of profit in associated companies (most importantly Luminor, Vipps and Fremtind) is included in Other operations.

1) Deductions are made for significant investments in financial sector entities if they each exceed 10 per cent of common equity Tier 1 capital. The amounts that are not deducted are given a risk weight of 250 per cent. The increased deduction is due to the investment in Fremtind.
2) Investments in Tier 1 and Tier 2 instruments issued by the Group's insurance companies are deducted from the Group's Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital.
3) The amount of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital in DNB Bank ASA that are not included in consolidated own funds in accordance with Articles 85-88 of the CRR.
4) Due to transitional rules, the minimum capital adequacy requirements cannot be reduced below 80 per cent of the corresponding figure calculated according to the Basel I regulations.
The majority of the credit portfolios are reported according to the IRB approach. The portfolios "central governments" and "institutions" are, however, reported according to the standardised approach.

1) DNB has performed a recalibration of the IFRS 9 models used for stage 1 and stage 2 loans in the second quarter of 2019. The net effect of the recalibration is a decrease in expected credit loss of NOK 6 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'.

1) DNB has performed a recalibration of the IFRS 9 models used for stage 1 and stage 2 financial commitments in the second quarter of 2019. The net effect of the recalibration is a decrease in expected credit loss of NOK 6 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'.

Due to its extensive operations in Norway and abroad, the DNB Group will regularly be party to a number of legal actions and tax related disputes. None of the current disputes are expected to have any material impact on the Group's financial position.
On 21 June 2016, the Norwegian Consumer Council instituted legal proceedings before the Oslo District Court against DNB Asset Management AS, a wholly-owned subsidiary of DNB ASA offering asset management services. The Norwegian Consumer Council has instituted a group action to pursue compensation of up to NOK 690 million on behalf of current and former investors in a fund managed by DNB Asset Management AS, as well as two funds merged into that fund. The lawsuit alleges that the funds were charging high fees for active management, but were actually tracking an index. The Oslo District Court passed its judgment on 12 January 2018, whereby the claim was rejected and DNB Asset Management was held not liable. On 12 February 2018, the Norwegian Consumer Council appealed to the Borgarting Court of Appeal and reduced the compensation claim to NOK 430 million. The ruling from the Borgarting Court of Appeal was announced on 9 May 2019, and found in favour of the Norwegian Consumer Council in the group action. DNB Asset Management was sentenced to pay approximately NOK 350 million. DNB Asset Management disagrees with the ruling of the Court of Appeal and has decided to appeal the case to the Norwegian Supreme Court. Based on an overall assessment, accounting provisions at the end of the second quarter of NOK 200 million are considered prudent. The provisions have been recognised in the accounts of DNB Asset Management AS. The provisions have been recognised as operational losses/operating expenses in the quarter.
Total liabilities and equity 84 290 96 229 85 083 1) Of which dividend/group contribution from DNB Bank ASA represented NOK 10 758 in 2018. The dividend from DNB Livsforsikring AS represented
NOK 2 900 million in 2018. The dividend from DNB Asset Management Holding AS was NOK 427 million in 2018.
2) The establishment of the insurance company Fremtind Forsikring AS, through the merger of SpareBank 1 Skadeforsikring and DNB Forsikring AS in January 2019, resulted in a gain of NOK 2 237 million in the first quarter for DNB ASA. The gain for the DNB Group amounted to NOK 1 740 million.
