There has been no full or partial external audit of the quarterly directors' report and accounts.
DNB's results in the third quarter were solid, supported by a resilient Norwegian economy. Economic activity increased further and was stronger than projected, with business and housing investment in particular picking up. Employment continued to rise, and capacity utilisation was slightly higher than previously assumed. Following its decision to lower the key policy rate on 18 September, the Norwegian central bank, Norges Bank, signalled continued monetary easing, although the updated interest rate path indicated a slightly higher trajectory than previously projected. The capital situation for DNB remained sound, and the portfolio well diversified and robust.
The Group delivered profits of NOK 10 684 million in the third quarter, a decrease of NOK 1 476 million, or 12.1 per cent, from the corresponding quarter of last year. Compared with the second quarter, profits increased by NOK 242 million, or 2.3 per cent.
Earnings per share were NOK 6.98 in the quarter, compared with NOK 7.83 in the year-earlier period and NOK 6.79 in the second quarter.
The common equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio was 17.9 per cent at end-September, down from 18.3 per cent at end-June. The CET1 capital ratio has been calculated according to the new Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR3), which became effective on 1 April 2025.
The leverage ratio was 6.3 per cent at end-September, at the same level as in the year-earlier period and up from 6.2 per cent at end-June.
Annualised return on equity (ROE) was 15.8 per cent in the third quarter, driven by strong performance and high activity across the Group. The corresponding figures were 18.9 per cent in the third quarter of 2024, and 15.4 per cent in the second quarter of 2025.
Net interest income was down NOK 139 million, or 0.9 per cent, from the third quarter of 2024. Compared with the previous quarter, net interest income decreased by NOK 162 million, or 1.0 per cent. There was profitable loan growth in all customer segments, offset by customer repricing and product mix effects.
Net other operating income amounted to NOK 6 700 million in the quarter, at the same level as in the corresponding period of 2024, and up NOK 361 million, or 5.7 per cent, from the previous quarter. The increase from the previous quarter was primarily driven by positive exchange rate effects on other mark-to-market adjustments and basis swaps.
Operating expenses totalled NOK 8 483 million in the third quarter, up NOK 1 051 million, or 14.1 per cent, from the corresponding period a year earlier, mainly as a result of the acquisition of Carnegie. Compared with the previous quarter, operating expenses were down NOK 242 million, or 2.8 per cent, reflecting seasonally lower activity.
Impairment of financial instruments amounted to NOK 862 million in the third quarter, mainly related to company specific events, an expected credit loss (ECL) model update and the legacy portfolio in Poland.
The third quarter of 2025 saw continued global complexity, with sustainability efforts evolving in a landscape shaped by shifting economic priorities and geopolitical developments. While the pace and direction of the transition vary across regions, the importance of climate adaptation and long-term resilience remains clear, and renewable energy adoption continues to accelerate.
During the quarter, the Group's double materiality assessment (DMA) and transition plan remained key focus areas. The DMA underwent an annual review in the quarter, with topics identified as material in 2024 being further integrated into the strategy. In parallel, the transition plan is being reviewed in light of the European Banking Authority's Guidelines on the management of environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks, with the aim of identifying potential gaps and appropriate measures for further strengthening the Group's approach. This work will continue into the fourth quarter.
As of end-September, DNB has mobilised a cumulative total of NOK 877 billion to the sustainable transition, through lending and facilitation. DNB is still on track to reach the target of NOK 1 500 billion to the sustainable transition by 2030. So far this year, DNB Carnegie has seen a record volume in sustainable bond issuance, and remains a market leader in the Norwegian sustainable bond market. The target of increasing the total assets under management in mutual funds and portfolios with a sustainability profile to NOK 200 billion by 2025, was achieved in the second quarter. As of 30 September, NOK 226 billion qualifies towards this target.
Rasmus Figenschou is taking over the role of Chief Financial Officer (CFO) from Ida Lerner, who is leaving the bank. He has held the position of Group Executive Vice President of Corporate Banking Norway (CBN), and will take over as CFO on 24 October, while Marianne Wik Sætre took over as Group Executive Vice President of CBN on 18 August.
The share buy-back programme of up to 1.0 per cent was announced on 17 June and completed on 26 September with a total of 9 752 192 shares repurchased in the open market. A proposal will be made at the Annual General Meeting in 2026 to cancel these shares. In addition, according to an agreement with the Norwegian government, represented by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries, a proportion of the Norwegian government's holding of 5 023 856 shares will be proposed redeemed at the same meeting. Furthermore, on 21 October, a new share buy-back programme of 1.0 per cent was approved by the Board of Directors.
In the third quarter, a solution was launched for automatic approval of remortgaging to DNB for loans up to NOK 7 million.
The European Banking Authority (EBA) published the results from the European stress test for 2025 in the third quarter. The stress test assesses banks' resilience during a sharp economic downturn. DNB was the only Norwegian bank to participate, together with the largest Nordic banks. The results show that DNB is among the best capitalised banks in Europe, being able to withstand significant credit losses and market shocks during a predicted sharp economic downturn. The stress test covers approximately 75 per cent of the total assets in the banking sector in the EU and Norway.
In the third quarter, DNB Carnegie strengthened its position as Sweden's leading equity research house in FH's annual sector report. In the report, DNB Carnegie's analysts were ranked number one in 16 out of 21 sectors and were among the top three across all remaining categories.
Furthermore, DNB Carnegie secured first place for overall performance in the Kantar Prospera Nordic Equity 2025 survey, based on interviews with 71 Nordic institutions with Nordic portfolios. DNB Carnegie secured top positions in 8 out of 9 categories.
In the third quarter, Startuplab and the DNB NXT Accelerator programme received applications from 280 companies. The programme is a collaboration between DNB and Startuplab for entrepreneurs seeking investors. There has been a marked increase in applications from women entrepreneurs and a clear increase in companies with a business idea relating to Artificial intelligence.
DNB won the Stockman Prize in the open class, and for best investor relations team in 2024. The Stockman Prize is awarded to companies that demonstrate excellence through open, credible and long-term communication with the financial market. DNB achieved the highest score for criteria such as financial targets, dividend policy, strategy, market information and consistent reporting.
DNB achieved top results in a customer service survey for personal customers carried out by Kantar. Since starting up in 2014, Kantar has conducted almost 250 000 interviews of customers that have been in contact with customer service centres in the preceding 14 days.
Following the decision made in the third quarter by the Norwegian central bank, Norges Bank, to lower the key policy rate by 0.25 percentage point to 4.00 per cent, DNB decided to reduce its interest rates by up to 0.25 percentage points.
In Traction's reputation survey for the third quarter, DNB achieved a score of 59 points, at the same level compared with the previous quarter. The target is a score of over 65 points, indicating that DNB is a well-liked bank.
DNB recorded profits of NOK 31 974 million in the first three quarters of 2025, down NOK 1 155 million, or 3.5 per cent, from the corresponding period in 2024.
Annualised return on equity was 15.7 per cent, compared with 17.0 per cent in the year-earlier period, and earnings per share were NOK 20.81, down from NOK 21.14.
Net interest income increased by NOK 1 080 million, or 2.3 per cent, driven by profitable volume growth.

For the personal customers industry segment, there were impairment provisions of NOK 202 million in the first three quarters of 2025. The impairment provisions could be seen across all three stages, mainly driven by an ECL model update affecting stage 1 and 2, and consumer finance within stage 3. The corporate customers industry segments saw impairment provisions of NOK 1 747 million in the first three quarters of 2025, including a provision relating to the legacy portfolio in Poland. Additional impairment provisions were mainly driven by specific customers in stage 3, spread across various industry segments.

The third quarter showed solid performance in the corporate customers Norway segment, with stable net interest income and increased other operating income compared with the previous quarter. Net interest income remained stable compared with the previous quarter, despite narrowing spreads for both lending and deposits. The negative margin effects were offset by increased average lending volumes and one additional interest day compared with the previous quarter.
The return on allocated capital was 20.9 per cent in the third quarter, down from 24.5 per cent in the corresponding quarter of 2024 and from 21.9 per cent in the previous quarter.
Net interest income amounted to NOK 4 860 million in the third quarter and decreased by NOK 29 million, or 0.6 per cent, compared with the corresponding quarter of last year. Compared with the previous quarter, net interest income remained stable. Average loans to customers increased by 4.3 per cent from the third quarter of 2024 and 1.0 per cent from the previous quarter. Lending spreads remained stable compared with the corresponding quarter of last year and narrowed by 1 basis point compared with the previous quarter. Average deposit volumes increased by 7.3 per cent from the third quarter of 2024, and were at the same level as in the previous quarter. Deposit spreads narrowed by 22 basis points from the corresponding quarter of last year, and by 8 basis points from the previous quarter. The ratio of deposits to loans was 76.7 per cent in the quarter.
Net other operating income totalled NOK 1 054 million in the third quarter, down 5.3 per cent compared with the third quarter of 2024, and up 7.4 per cent from the previous quarter.
Operating expenses increased by 1.4 per cent from the previous quarter, and the cost/income ratio remained stable at 30.1 per cent.
Impairment of financial instruments amounted to NOK 373 million in the quarter. This was an increase from both the corresponding quarter of 2024 and the previous quarter of NOK 225 million and NOK 170 million, respectively. The impairment provisions were spread across various industry segments but could primarily be seen in stage 3 and was related to customer-specific situations within real estate-related segments.

The third quarter was in line with expectations for the large corporates and international customers segment, considering seasonal effects. The reduction in net other operating income from the previous quarter can be attributed to mark-to-market effects and reduced income from DNB Carnegie. However, the income from DNB Carnegie was up 25 per cent from the corresponding quarter of 2024. The portfolio quality continues to be sound, with low customer-related losses.
The return on allocated capital was 15.0 per cent in the quarter, down from 18.3 per cent in the corresponding quarter of 2024 and from 17.6 per cent in the previous quarter. The decrease can be attributed to a reduction in net other operating income from the previous quarter, mainly due to seasonal variations, and an increase in allocated capital compared with both the corresponding quarter of 2024 and the previous quarter.
Net interest income amounted to NOK 4 864 million in the third quarter, which was an increase of NOK 173 million, or 3.7 per cent, compared with the corresponding quarter of 2024. Compared with the previous quarter, net interest income was stable. Average loans to customers rose by 1.2 per cent from the previous quarter. Lending spreads narrowed by 5 basis points compared with the previous quarter. Average deposit volumes declined by 2.7 per cent from the previous quarter. Deposit spreads widened by 2 basis points compared with the corresponding quarter of last year, but remained stable compared with the previous quarter. The ratio of deposits to loans was 88.9 per cent in the third quarter.
Net other operating income amounted to NOK 2 272 million in the third quarter, which was an increase of 21.0 per cent compared with the third quarter of 2024, but a decrease of 21.1 per cent from the previous quarter.
Operating expenses amounted to NOK 3 234 million in the third quarter, down NOK 93 million, or 2.8 per cent, from the previous quarter.
Impairment of financial instruments amounted to NOK 359 million in the quarter and included an increased provision relating to the legacy portfolio in Poland of NOK 281 million. In the previous quarter, there were impairment provisions of NOK 463 million, while the corresponding quarter of 2024 showed net reversals of NOK 11 million.
This segment includes the results from risk management in DNB Carnegie and from traditional pension products with a guaranteed rate of return. In addition, the other operations segment includes Group items not allocated to the customer segments.

The profit for the other operations segment was NOK 1 730 million in the third quarter.
Risk management income remained at a good level in the third quarter, reaching NOK 343 million, up from NOK 267 million in the corresponding quarter of last year. The increase can be attributed to reduced counterparty risk (XVA) reserves and repurchase agreements (repos), but was partly offset by lower interest rate trading income.
Compared with the previous quarter, risk management income was stable.
The pre-tax operating profit for guaranteed pension products was NOK 489 million in the third quarter, compared with NOK 493 million in the corresponding period of last year, and NOK 559 million in the second quarter. The decrease in profit compared with the previous quarter can be ascribed to lower returns on the company's own funds. The solvency margin without transitional rules was 265 per cent as of 30 September, an increase from 264 per cent at the end of the second quarter. In the third quarter, subordinated debt was reduced by NOK 1 500 million, which weakened the solvency margin by 7 percentage points. Strong financial resilience and decreasing interest rate sensitivity over time lay the foundation for continued capital optimisation.
DNB's share of the profit in associated companies (most importantly Luminor, Vipps and Fremtind) is included in this segment. There was a decrease in profit from these companies of NOK 657 million from the third quarter of 2024, and of NOK 34 million compared with the previous quarter. The decrease compared with the corresponding quarter of last year can be ascribed to the merger between Fremtind and Eika resulting in a positive gain.
For DNB, the short-term US Commercial Paper (USCP) programme remains the largest and most important programme, with the highest liquidity, with issues in all of the programmes during the quarter, and in several currencies, in order to maintain good capacity and diversification.
During the third quarter, there were positive developments in the credit markets for financial issuers, with a general decline in credit risk premiums. The level of activity at the beginning of the quarter was affected by the summer holiday, with relatively few new issues, which gave extra support for lower credit risk premiums in the secondary market. Even after activity relating to new issues picked up as the quarter progressed, the market proved to be very robust and fairly unaffected by geopolitical uncertainty or negotiations regarding trade tariffs. The positive market sentiment
during the quarter resulted in credit risk premiums at the end of the quarter being considerably lower than at the beginning of the quarter. DNB issued long-term debt instruments totalling NOK 20 billion in the quarter, divided between covered bonds in SEK, senior preferred bonds in EUR, SEK and USD, and senior nonpreferred bonds in USD.
The total nominal value of long-term debt securities issued by the Group was NOK 552 billion at end-September, compared with NOK 529 billion a year earlier. The average remaining term to maturity for long-term debt securities issued was 3.5 years, compared with 3.7 years a year earlier.
The short-term liquidity requirement, the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR), remained stable at above 100 per cent throughout the quarter, and was 129 per cent at the end-September. The net longterm stable funding ratio (NSFR) was 115 per cent, which was well above the minimum requirement of 100 per cent for stable and long-term funding.
Total combined assets in the DNB Group were NOK 4 960 billion at the end of September, up from NOK 4 562 billion a year earlier. Total assets in the Group's balance sheet were NOK 3 801 billion at end-September, compared with NOK 3 852 billion at end-September 2024.
The ratio of customer deposits to net loans to customers, for the customer segments, was 73.6 per cent, up from 72.7 per cent a year earlier.
The risk weight floors for mortgages increased from 20 to 25 per cent from 1 July, while the implementation of the Capital Requirements Regulation 3 (CRR3) into Norwegian law became effective on 1 April.
The common equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio was 17.9 per cent at end-September, a reduction from 18.3 per cent at end-June. The increased risk weights on mortgages had a negative effect of around 60 basis points, as forecasted, while retained earnings in the quarter contributed positively with 30 basis points. In addition, the announced share buy-back programme of 1.0 per cent had a negative impact of 40 basis points on the CET1 capital ratio.
The CET1 capital ratio requirement for DNB at end-September was 15.3 per cent, while the expectation from the supervisory authorities was 16.6 per cent including Pillar 2 Guidance. The Group thus had a solid 135 basis points headroom above the current supervisory authorities' capital level expectation.
The risk exposure amount increased by NOK 32 billion from end-June and amounted to NOK 1 162 billion at end-September.
The leverage ratio was 6.3 per cent, at the same level as in the year-earlier period, and up from 6.2 per cent at end-June.
The capital adequacy regulations specify a minimum requirement for own funds based on a risk exposure amount that includes credit risk, market risk and operational risk. In addition to meeting the Pillar 1 minimum requirement, DNB must meet the Pillar 2 requirements and the combined buffer requirements under Pillar 1.
| 3Q25 | 2Q25 | 3Q24 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| CET1 capital ratio, per cent | 17.9 | 18.3 | 19.0 |
| Tier 1 capital ratio, per cent | 19.7 | 20.1 | 20.9 |
| Capital ratio, per cent | 22.3 | 22.7 | 23.4 |
| Risk exposure amount, NOK billion | 1 162 | 1 130 | 1 110 |
| Leverage ratio, per cent | 6.3 | 6.2 | 6.3 |
As the DNB Group consists of both a credit institution and a life insurance company, DNB has to satisfy a cross-sectoral calculation test to demonstrate that it complies with sectoral requirements: the capital adequacy requirement, in accordance with the Capital Requirements Regulation / Capital Requirements Directive (CRR/CRD), and the Solvency 2 requirement. At the end of
September, DNB complied with these requirements by a good margin, with excess capital of NOK 43.9 billion.
At its meeting on 13 August, the Monetary Policy and Financial Stability Committee of the Norwegian central bank, Norges Bank, decided to maintain the countercyclical capital buffer requirement at 2.5 per cent.
The Committee pointed to the risk that uncertainty concerning the framework conditions for international trade may lead to major movements in the financial markets, and that vulnerabilities in the financial system may amplify a possible downturn in the Norwegian economy and result in bank losses.
The committee emphasised that Norwegian banks have high profitability and comfortably meet the capital and liquidity requirements. There was some increase in corporate loan losses during last year, but overall, losses remain low. The solvency stress test in the Financial Stability Report 2025 H1 illustrates that banks are able to withstand large credit losses while maintaining the capacity to lend.
On 17 September, the Norwegian Ministry of Finance sent a memorandum prepared by Finanstilsynet (the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway) regarding regulatory changes to the duty of confidentiality and information sharing of financial institutions for public consultation. The goal is to strengthen the fight against financial crime and to have more means to address the financial aspect of organised crime.
In the memorandum, Finanstilsynet proposes simplifying and clarifying the rules, by expanding the ability to share confidential information with other financial institutions, the police, and providers of electronic communication services when necessary to prevent or detect financial crime and other serious crime. Steps must be taken to allow information sharing through dedicated digital platforms.
If the proposal is adopted, this will improve cooperation between DNB, the authorities and other financial institutions, and DNB will be able to respond more quickly when it suspects fraud or scams that target DNB or its customers.
As part of its annual routine, on 15 August, the Ministry of Finance notified the relevant EU/EEA authorities which financial institutions are to be considered systemically important in Norway.
Based on advice from Finanstilsynet, and in line with the requirements and procedures in the CRR/CRD framework, the Ministry determines which institutions are to be designated as systemically important in Norway and thus must meet specific capital buffer requirements. For DNB Bank ASA, as a systemically important institution, the buffer is 2 per cent, and has remained unchanged since 2023.
On 24 June, the Ministry of Finance adopted amendments to the Norwegian Financial Institutions Act, to implement two EU regulations relating to securitisation. On 1 July, the Ministry adopted three regulations to complete the implementation of the securitisation rules in Norway. The amendments and the regulations entered into force on 1 August.
The changes in the securitisation rules will give DNB competitive terms that are more equal to those of players in neighbouring countries. This will also allow DNB to draw on the benefits of the securitisation instrument to enable the best possible credit flow in the market.
fully reciprocate the Norwegian systemic risk buffer requirement of 4.5 per cent. This decision will apply from 1 October, following a decision in June 2023 to partly reciprocate the buffer at 3.5 per cent.
In Norway, mainland GDP rose by 0.6 per cent from the first to the second quarter, following 1.2 per cent growth in the first quarter. The cyclical upturn in the Norwegian economy has primarily been driven by increased demand from households and an expansive fiscal policy.
A clear increase in retail sales continued into the third quarter. After eight quarters of decline, residential investments rose slightly in the first quarter, and continued at 4 per cent, quarter-on-quarter, in the second quarter. This indicates that the bottom has been reached, and that a gradual recovery has begun.
Norges Bank's regional network referred to an increase in the building and construction sectors in the third quarter and prospects of a continued increase in the fourth quarter. In general, the network supported the image of an upturn in the economy. However, inflation remains well above target, and core inflation in the third quarter was slightly above 3 per cent. Higher wage growth may curb the decline in inflation, but higher real wage growth contributes to the upswing in household demand.
Productivity has also increased in Norway, which dampens the inflation effects of high wage growth. In September, Norges Bank reduced the key policy rate to 4.00 per cent, and also presented an interest rate path where the interest rate will be reduced by 25 basis points in each of the next three years. The key policy rate will continue to be restrictive in the time ahead and contribute to lower inflation, while helping to keep employment high, according to Norges Bank.
The Group's overriding financial target is a return on equity (ROE) above 14 per cent. The following factors will contribute to the Group reaching the ROE target: growth in loans and in commissions and fees from capital-light products, combined with cost control and efficient capital management.
The ambition for annual organic loan growth for the Group is between 3 and 4 per cent over time, but it can be lower or higher in certain years. Norges Bank's reduction of the key policy rate in June, from 4.50 per cent to 4.25 per cent, followed by DNB's repricing announcements, have had full effect from 25 August, and is expected to impact net interest income negatively. In addition, Norges Bank reduced the policy rate in September by 0.25 percentage point to 4.00 per cent, and DNB's subsequent repricing will have additional negative effects on interest income from 18 November.
In the period 2025 to 2027, DNB has an ambition to increase net commissions and fees by more than 9 per cent annually, and to maintain a cost/income ratio below 40 per cent.
The long-term tax rate for the Group is expected to be 23 per cent. Due to the debt interest distribution between the US and Norway in Norwegian taxation, the tax rate is estimated to be 20 per cent for 2025.
The supervisory expectation for the common equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio for DNB is above 16.6 per cent. In its capital planning, DNB has set the supervisory expectation plus some headroom as its target capital level. The headroom will reflect market-driven fluctuations, including in foreign exchange, and potential regulatory changes. The actual capital ratio achieved in the third quarter was 17.9 per cent.
The Group's dividend policy remains unchanged, with a payout ratio of more than 50 per cent in cash dividends and an ambition to increase the nominal dividend per share each year. In addition to
dividend payments, repurchases of own shares will be used as a flexible tool for allocating excess capital to DNB's owners. The Board has received authorisation from the Annual General Meeting to repurchase up to 3.5 per cent of outstanding shares for 2025. The share buy-back programme of 1 per cent announced on 17 June was completed on 29 September, and a new share buyback programme of 1.0 per cent was approved on 21 October by the Board of Directors.
As a small and open economy, Norway will be impacted by developments in surrounding countries as well as in the world economy as a whole.

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, the management makes estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting principles, as well as income, expenses, and the carrying amount of assets and liabilities. 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 judgement is applied by the Group, can be found in Note G1 Accounting principles in the annual report for 2024. In the interim report, the accounting policies, significant estimates, and areas where judgement is applied by the Group are in conformity with those described in the annual report.
As of 1 July 2025, the DNB Group has presented cash collateral pledged as a receivable under 'Other assets' and cash collateral received as a payable under 'Other liabilities'. Cash collateral pledged and received in relation to derivatives was previously presented under 'Financial derivatives'. The changes are reflected in the comparative figures.
On 21 October 2024, DNB announced an agreement to acquire all the shares of Carnegie Holding AB, the parent company of the Carnegie Group. Following the fulfilment of all conditions precedent, including obtaining all required regulatory approvals, the transaction was completed on 6 March 2025. The purchase price was a cash consideration of SEK 13.8 billion. The cash consideration reflects a basic purchase price of SEK 12 billion, an adjustment relating to the winding up and subsequent acquisition of past non-controlling interests in Carnegie Group subsidiaries of SEK 0.3 billion, and an additional consideration of SEK 1.5 billion to reflect the excess capital in the Carnegie Group at the acquisition date.
Carnegie is a leading financial advisor and asset manager in the Nordics with 850 employees, deriving 56 per cent of its revenue from investment services and 44 per cent from wealth management. The company's organisation comprises four business units: Investment Banking, Securities, Private Banking and Asset Management. The investment banking services encompass mergers & acquisitions, equity capital markets services and advisory services for debt capital market products. Carnegie offers securities services relating to research, brokerage and sales trading, and equity capital market transactions. The asset management part of the group offers active asset management through its two fund companies, Carnegie Fonder AB and Holberg Fondsforvaltning AS. Holberg Fondsforvaltning AS has subsequently been divested to a third party. The private banking part of the group provides a comprehensive range of financial advisory services to high-net-worth individuals, small businesses, institutions and foundations. As at 31 December 2024, the Carnegie Group had assets under management amounting to SEK 480 billion, of which SEK 330 billion was related to fund management and discretionary asset management.
DNB's position within investment banking and wealth management has been strengthened through the acquisition of Carnegie, especially in the Nordic countries outside Norway. To reflect the strategic importance of the transaction, DNB Markets has been globally renamed DNB Carnegie. The transaction is expected to positively impact earnings per share and return on equity for DNB, and synergies are expected to be realised in both Carnegie and DNB.
The acquisition of Carnegie was completed on 6 March 2025, with accounting effect from 1 March 2025. The fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the Carnegie Group at the acquisition date 1 March 2025 are presented in the following table.
| Amounts in NOK million | 1 March 2025 |

DNB has identified intangible assets and accounted for these separately in the final purchase price allocation. These comprise NOK 644 million relating to trademarks, NOK 1 476 million relating to customer relationships and NOK 260 million relating to distribution contracts. The intangible assets are presented under Other non-financial assets in the table above. Amortisation of the customer relationships and distribution contracts will be carried out over a period of 7 to 15 years. The brand name is considered to have an indefinite useful life.
The goodwill of NOK 8 579 million comprises the value of expected synergies arising from the acquisition, assembled workforce and deferred tax on excess values. The goodwill amount is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
DNB used external advisers in the process to acquire the Carnegie Group, and NOK 167 million was recognised in the income statement for acquisition‑related costs, of which NOK 45 million was recognised in 2024. Contributions from Carnegie to the DNB Group's income statements are included as from 1 March 2025. If the business combination had taken place at the beginning of the year, the total income would be NOK 67 768 million and the pre-tax operating profit for the Group would have been NOK 40 197 million at end-September 2025.
During the second quarter, DNB acquired 60 per cent of the shares in Eksportfinans AS for a cash consideration of NOK 3 billion. Following this, DNB holds 100 per cent of the shares and as from the second quarter Eksportfinans AS is consolidated as a subsidiary in the DNB Group. The purchase price was based on the carrying amount of the equity in Eksportfinans AS as of 31 December 2024, and there were no material purchase price adjustments.
Eksportfinans AS was previously accounted for using the equity method. The carrying amount of the 40 per cent shareholding was NOK 2 billion at the end of first quarter.
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, Large corporates and international customers, Corporate customers Norway, Risk management and Traditional pension products (with guaranteed rate of return). The Risk management and Traditional pension products segments are included in Other operations. DNB's share of profit in major associated companies (most importantly Luminor, Vipps and Fremtind) is included in Other operations.

1 Excluding own bonds. The total nominal amount of outstanding covered bonds in DNB Boligkreditt was NOK 527.9 billion as at 30 Sept 2025. The market value of the cover pool represented NOK 772.3 billion.
Due to its extensive operations in Norway and abroad, the DNB Group is regularly a party to various legal actions and tax-related disputes. None of the current disputes are expected to have any material impact on the Group's financial position.
In 2023, DNB Bank ASA received a notice from the Norwegian tax authorities of a change in the tax assessment of dividends received from its US subsidiary in 2019 and 2020. The tax authorities also announced that payments from the subsidiary that relate to the company's share of tax payments under joint taxation with the US for the period 2018–2022 were to be considered taxable dividends. The notice resulted in a total tax exposure for DNB of about NOK 1.8 billion. DNB fully disputed the notice from the tax authorities, and no provisions have been recognised in the accounts.
In August 2025, the tax authorities decided not to proceed with the assessment of the US as a low-tax country, and the dividends received in 2019 and 2020 are thus covered by the tax exemption method. In the draft decision received in September 2025, the tax authorities maintained their view that the tax payments are to be classified as dividends, subject to 3 per cent tax. The total tax exposure has accordingly been reduced to approximately NOK 14 million.

Loans with floating interest rate measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are categorised within level 2, since the valuation is mainly based on observable inputs. The corresponding loans are measured at amortised cost in the Group, due to a hold to collect business model.
For a further description of the instruments and valuation techniques, see the annual report for 2024.
In the first three quarters of 2025, loan portfolios representing NOK 7.1 billion (NOK 40.9 billion in the first three quarters of 2024) were transferred from the bank to DNB Boligkreditt in accordance with the "Agreement relating to transfer of loan portfolio between DNB Bank ASA and DNB Boligkreditt AS".
At end-September 2025, the bank had invested NOK 177.9 billion in covered bonds issued by DNB Boligkreditt.
The servicing agreement between DNB Boligkreditt and DNB Bank ensures DNB Boligkreditt a minimum margin achieved on loans to customers. A margin below the minimum level will be at DNB Bank's risk, resulting in a negative management fee (payment from DNB Bank to DNB Boligkreditt). The management fee paid to the bank for purchased services amounted to NOK 751 million in the first three quarters of 2025 (a negative NOK 285 million in the first three quarters of 2024).
In the first three quarters of 2025, DNB Boligkreditt entered into reverse repurchasing agreements (reverse repos) with the bank as counterparty. The value of the repos amounted to NOK 25.3 billion at end-September 2025.
As of end-September 2025, DNB Bank had invested NOK 2.0 billion in additional tier 1 (AT1) instruments issued by DNB Boligkreditt.
At end-September, DNB Bank had placed cash collateral of NOK 15.7 billion related to the CSA-agreement on derivatives against DNB Boligkreditt. The cash collateral paid is presented as other assets in the balance sheet of DNB Bank. The amount has been placed by DNB Boligkreditt in a deposit account with DNB Bank and is presented as due to credit institutions.
DNB Boligkreditt has a long-term overdraft facility in DNB Bank with a limit of NOK 220 billion.
