Convertion and correction order affect the ownership fraction

  • (1) In connection with the establishment of the foundation Sparebankstiftelsen Sparebanken Møre, the EC capital was increased on 4 December 2024 by a nominal value of NOK 7,215,000 by converting primary capital to EC capital. The equity certificates that were issued upon convertion have been transferred to the foundation
  • (2) The Financial Supervisory Authority's order for correction means that NOK 132.4 million of the 2024 profit will be transferred to the primary capital before the profit is allocated in the ordinary manner according to the new ownership fraction. In addition to the changed fraction, the correction means an increase in CET1 capital by approximately 0.32 p.p.

Change in ownership fraction

Solid annual result benefits the region

  • The order for correction from the Norwegian FSA implies that NOK 132.4 million from the 2024 result will be added to the bank`s primary capital before allocation
  • Result in the parent bank allocated to equity owners after correction amounts to NOK 850 million
  • The ownership fraction when allocating the result is based on the average ownership fraction through 2024. This is somewhat lower (48.4%) than as of 31.12.2024
  • Based on the bank's dividend policy, the preliminary annual result for 2024 and the solid capital situation, the Board of Directors is planning to propose to the General Meeting a cash dividend of NOK 6.25 per equity certificate, a total of NOK 311 million. The corresponding provision for dividend funds for local communities will amount to NOK 332 million
  • The dividend share constitutes 72.2% of the Group's profit allocated to equity owners after correction

  • Following the planned introduction of the CRR3 regulations in Norway, the bank has decided not to apply for A-IRB status
  • The implementation of CRR3 will have an overall positive effect of approximately 1.5 percentage points on Common Equity Tier 1 capital
  • The buffer to the regulatory CET1 requirement at the end of the year is 1.00 p.p. (2.25 p.p. excl. P2G), which gives the bank a robust capital position

Future prospects

International development and growth prospects

cuts in the fourth quarter

Higher interest rate expectations

  • Central banks in several Western countries have continued to reduce their key interest rates
  • Both the ECB and the Fed reduced their key interest rates by in total one percentage point during the second half of 2024 Further interest rate
    • At the same time, expected interest rate developments in the coming years have risen markedly
    • This is partly due to a more robust economic development in the US
    • Expectations of Trump's political direction have also pushed up market interest rates
    • News related to political actions in the US can lead to fluctuations in the financial market
    • The geopolitical picture still represents a significant source of uncertainty
    • At the same time, the risk of an escalation in the Middle East has decreased since last

Future prospects

Norway and our market area Nordvestlandet

  • Interest rate expectations have also risen in Norway
  • Norges Bank is expected to deliver its first interest rate cut in March
  • Overall, two to three interest rate cuts are expected during 2025
  • Developments in the Norwegian economy have been stronger than expected
  • Expansionary fiscal policy boosts growth prospects for 2025
  • There is a persistent large gap between the different industries

  • The level of activity in Møre and Romsdal remains high

  • Unemployment in the county is still below the national average
  • For several companies, access to labor is a limiting factor

Long term financial targets

Common Equity Tier 1 capital (CET1) must minimum be the sum of pillar 1, pillar 2 (P2R) and P2G

Dividend policy

  • Sparebanken Møre aims to achieve financial results providing a good and stable return on the bank's equity capital
  • Sparebanken Møre's profit allocation must ensure that all equity owners are guaranteed equal treatment
  • If the solvency ratio does not indicate otherwise, the aim is that around 50 per cent of the year's profit overall can be distributed as dividends
