Satisfactory results in 2024

Turið F. Arge, CEO 26 February 2025

"2024 was generally a year of positive business trends for the Føroya Banki Group. It was also a year marked by continued geopolitical tensions, by inflation being brought under control and interest rates coming down following several years of rising interest rates and high inflation. The financial statements showed sound core operations, and we find the performance for the year with a net profit of DKK 310 million and a return on equity of close to 16% satisfactory."

DKKbn

Loans Deposits

Interest rates decreasing

  • Net interest income down by DKK 8.5m QoQ and down by DKK 12.7m YoY, due to:
    • Drop in lending rates
    • Increase in deposit volumes
    • Increase in expenses for external funding
  • Decrease in interest rates will be advantageous for our customers and is expected to improve the customers' credit quality even further.
  • Satisfactory development in lending and especially deposit volumes in both Faroe Islands and Greenland.
    • Lending volumes flat QoQ and up by 2% YoY.
    • Deposit volumes up by 7% QoQ and by 15% YoY.
  • Sound balance between deposits and lending, leading to a favourable starting point for pursuing our strategic plans towards 2026.

Fall in guarantees affects fee and commission income

  • Fee and commission income up by DKK 1.2m QoQ and down by DKK 3.2m YoY.
  • The decrease in fee and commission income compared to 2023 was primarily due to a fall in guarantee commission, as certain large guarantees were converted to loans in mid-2023.
  • Removal of online banking fees at the beginning of 2024 also led to a fall in fee and commission income compared to last year.
  • Increase in customer activity in the investment sector during 2024.
    • AUM increased by 5.7%
  • Mortgage broking services up by 5% YoY.
    • We expect a further increase in demand for mortgage broking services in 2025, as the level of interest rates is expected to fall.

Profit before tax DKKm

Satisfactory insurance result for 2024

  • Satisfactory profit before tax of DKK 23.3m in 2024.
  • Insurance premiums grew by 6% in 2024 due to price rises and a continued inflow of new customers. The decrease in premium income in Q4 2024 compared to Q3 2024 was due to an increase in reinsurance costs in the last quarter of 2024.
  • Claims were higher in 2024 compared to 2023 due to some large and weather-related claims in 2024 and a technical change in the provisioning model.
  • Satisfactory return on investment activities of DKK 11m in 2024. An increase of 65% compared to 2023.
  • Combined ratio of 92.9% for 2024 compared to 87.5% for 2023. This was below our 2024 target of 90%.

Cost/income ratio of 52.7%

  • Operating costs up by DKK 2.9m QoQ and up by DKK 14.6m YoY:
    • Increase in staff costs due to salary adjustment in May 2024.
    • End-of-period FTE of 207. Flat compared to Q4 2023.
    • Increase in IT costs due to increased prices.
    • Increase in marketing expenses mainly attributable to costs related to the Bank's name change to "Føroya Banki" and "Bankivik" in 2024.
  • Operating costs increased by 5.5% compared to 2023. This was as expected for 2024, however.
  • Operating costs under pressure because of a general increase in costs. Focus still retained on keeping costs low and to improve operational efficiency.

YoY changes in operating costs DKKm

QoQ changes in operating costs DKKm

Customers display strong credit robustness in general

  • Impairment charges were a net reversal of DKK 1m in 2024 compared to a reversal of DKK 10m in 2023.
    • Increase in stage 3 impairment charges of 8.4% YoY, attributable to a few corporate customers.
  • Discretionary management estimate up by DKK 1.5m to DKK 101.5m in 2024.
    • Related to general economic uncertainty caused by geopolitical tensions and macroeconomic developments.
  • Strong LTV ratios for housing loans. 92% of total housing loans below LTV of 80% and 65% below LTV of 40%.
  • Well-diversified corporate customer portfolio for prudent risk diversification across industries.

1) Lending for housing accounts for DKK 4.1bn of total retail lending of DKK 4.5bn

Strong capital and liquidity position

  • REA up by 5.3% over Q4 2023 to DKK 7,180m due to a change in operational risk mainly because of an increase in the Bank's average income, which is used for calculating the operational risk.
  • Repayment of Tier 1 loan capital amounting to DKK 150m in September 2024 had a negative impact on the MREL capital ratio.
  • MREL capital ratio surplus of 9.6%. A decrease in excess capital of 8.2pp compared to 2023.
  • The Faroese and Greenlandic authorities have announced an increase of the SIFI capital buffer from 2% to 3% (FO) as of 1 July 2025 and the countercyclical capital buffer from 0% to 1% (GL) as from 2026. The Bank already complies with the higher capital requirements announced by the authorities.
  • Dividend distribution of DKK 350m:
    • DKK 217m representing 70% of the net profit for 2024
    • DKK 133m originating from a capital optimisation
  • Liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) of 337.4% and NSFR ratio of 154.5%. Both well above the requirement of 100%.

Faroese economic outlook

Strong and growing economy, but an ageing population raises concerns regarding the fiscal stability

Strong economy

GDP & Inflation

  • Economic growth continues, but at a lower rate. Outlook for 2025: 3.3% p.a.
  • Inflation has decreased steadily after Covid – in Nov'24 it stood at 0.8% p.a.

Positive Trade Balance

• Imports to the Faroes have decreased more than exports, resulting in an increased positive balance of trade

Low unemployment and population growth

  • Unemployment rate remains low, standing at 0.8% in September 2024
  • Population growth continues, rate slowing

Tourism rebounding

  • Record number of passengers flying through Vágar Airport and record number of hotel nights in 2024
  • Contribution to economy growing rapidly

Downside risks

ESI: Economic Sentiment Indicator

Restrictions to trade

  • The war in Ukraine is making economic cooperation between the Faroes and Russia increasingly difficult
  • The US might impose import duties on fish products imported from the Faroe Islands

Exports

• In 2024, exports fell by 8.1% compared to the peak export value in 2023 at DKKbn 12.5 (Jan-Dec), due to lower catch volumes

Long-term fiscal stability

• Significant deficits ought not to occur in a period when the economy is firing on all cylinders. The Faroes are facing long-term challenges (pensions) due to an ageing population.

Business confidence (ESI)

• Overall confidence level has increased, with especially the service sector registering a significant increase, and retail confidence also rising. Construction confidence, however, is dipping.

Greenlandic economic outlook

Moderate economic growth, new airport opened in Nuuk but structural challenges remain

GDP

  • Continued economic growth, but at a lower rate (2024 est. 0.9% (real))
  • Stabilised by Danish block grant, which constitutes around a quarter of GDP

Decreasing unemployment

  • Unemployment is historically low at less than 3%
  • Very tight labour market in large towns and for skilled labour

Airport capacity

  • Nuuk airport opened in November 2024 and two more airports under construction
  • New international flights to Nuuk (New York & Reykjavik) are likely to have a material effect on the tourist industry

Extraordinary Circumstances

  • Newly elected president Trump has publicly stated his wish to 'take over' Greenland from Denmark.
  • Uncertain how this could impact Føroya Banki's activities in Greenland

Moderate growth momentum Downside risks and structural challenges

Average

Export

  • Exports strong in 2023, but marginally lower in 2024
  • Balance of trade remains negative, but reduced compared to previous years

Structural challenges

• The unemployment rate for people with basic education (9 years) has decreased, but remains persistently high (red line), compared to the average rate

Long-term fiscal stability

• Greenland's public finances are projected to deteriorate in the coming years due to an aging population (less revenues and higher expenditures)

Inflation

• Inflation has been relatively low in Greenland and is expected to increase to 3.0% in 2025

Summary

RoE, after tax

15.8 %
