INTERIM REPORT Q3 2020
About Instabank ASA
Instabank is a Norwegian digital bank with offices in Oslo, Norway. Instabank ASA was granted a banking license by The Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway (Finanstilsynet) on September 19th, 2016. On September 23rd, 2016, the bank opened for business.
Instabank is listed at Merkur Market, ticker INSTA-ME.
Our aim has always been to make the customer experience as smooth as possible. The ability to grasp opportunities and quickly implement changes are at the heart of our culture, and our expertise within payment technology and sales financing, often referred to as paytech, plays a key role in our continued progress.
Instabank operates in Norway, Finland and Sweden offering competitive savings, insurance, point of sales (POS) financing, credit cards, mortgages and unsecured loan products to consumers who qualify after a credit evaluation. The loan product is designed to be highly customisable and payment plans ranges from three to fifteen years, or alternatively a flexible credit facility.
The bank continues to evolve it`s business strategy to a rapidly changing business environment. The trend of companies shifting from selling a product to selling product-as-a-service will often require a finance partner, otherwise the companies will need to do the investments up front while the revenue streams will spread over time – for instance as subscriptions. Our expertise within paytech makes Instabank an ideal partner for companies seeking to servitize and digitize their business models.
The bank's products and services are distributed primarily via 22 agents, through various paytech partners and the bank's website.
Instabank is a member of "Bankenes Sikringsfond", which secures all deposits up to 2 MNOK in Norway and EUR 100k in Sweden and Finland.
Instabank is primarily owned by Norwegian investors. By the end of Q3, Kistefos AS was the bank's largest shareholder owning 24.99 %. There were no other individual shareholders holding more than 10 % of the shares.
At the end of Q3, Instabank had 31 full time employees and 6 part-time employees.

Operational Developments
After a drop in net loans in Q2-20 as a result of a cautious approach given the Covid-19 pandemic, Instabank came back with a strong growth in net loans of 222 MNOK in Q3-20.
Presence in three countries and a flexible business models gives Instabank the strategic and tactical opportunity to focus its efforts where the most profitable growth can be achieved. In Q3-20, when the temporarily interest cap of 10 % was introduced in Finland, Instabank allocated capital to growth in the Norwegian market for mortgages, the Instapay credit card and sales financing.
In Norway, net loans grew by 167 MNOK in Q3-20. Instabank introduced second priority mortgage loans at the end of Q2-20. Through Q3-20, the distribution has been strengthened by agreements with several agents. Instabank is providing an automated digital process from application to loan disbursement. The result is an attractive product offering for agents as well as customers that is highly scalable. Alongside distribution thorough agents, Instabank is also offering the mortgages product to existing customers, delivering on the paytech strategy to acquire customers with low ticket sizes and convert them to higher ticket sizes.
The disbursed volumes of mortgages loans increased during the quarter and at the end of Q3-20 the loan balance reached 56 MNOK. Although interest rates are lower than for unsecured loans, the risk weights are lower and loan losses are expected to be significantly lower. This drives attractive unit economics for Mortgage loans, which are expected to contribute positively to the banks overall return on equity (ROE).
Instapay Mastercard continues its strong growth. Interest carrying balance reached 97 MNOK by the end of Q3-20 representing a growth of 47 MNOK in the quarter.
As announced in August this year, Instabank entered into a sales finance agreement with Coop Norge's building warehouses Coop Byggmix and OBS Bygg. The Coop branded credit card is already launched and have reached its first customers. Additional sales finance products will follow and will be made available in the payment app "Coopay" that has been in the market for two years.
In Finland, net loans increased by 45 MNOK including a positive currency effects of 21 MNOK. A temporary COVID-19 related interest cap law came into force July 1 st along with restrictions on consumer loans marketing which resulted in decreased new volume in Q3-20.
In Sweden, net loans increased by 10 MNOK, following a decrease of 6 MNOK in Q2-20. The Swedish market remains very competitive with larger risk and rate span and as a consequence Instabank finds Sweden less attractive than other markets.
Instabank has not observed any negative effects in customer's payment behaviour as a consequence of the COVID-19 outbreak. Normally loans past due increase in the third quarter. This year we have seen a decline. Share of loans past due 1-30 days at the end of Q3-20 was 13.7 % of total volume, down from 16.7 % in Q3-19.
The Instabank share was admitted to listing at Merkur Market on 17th of August resulting in significant higher trading volumes compared to when the share was listed at N-OTC.

Balance Sheet
Net loans increased by 222 MNOK in Q3-20 as a result of strong growth in the Norwegian market representing a comeback after net loans declined in the previous six consecutive quarters. Of total net loans of 2.787 MNOK, 46 % was outside Norway at the end of the quarter, down from 48 % at the end of Q2-20.

Deposits from customers grew by 419 MNOK to 3,548 MNOK by the end of the quarter. The deposit rates in all three markets have been reduced in the quarter following decreasing market rates.
Common equity Tier 1 Capital ratio was 18.8 % and the total capital ratio was 22.2 % at the end of Q3-20, 1.9 % points above the total regulatory capital requirement of 20.2 %.
Total assets at the end of Q3-20 were 4.236 MNOK.
At the end of Q3-20, the bank had a total of 44,156 customers, of which 33,284 were loan customers and 10,872 were deposit customers.
Profit and Loss
Interest income increased by 2.5 MNOK from Q2-20 to 82.4 MNOK in Q3-20 as a result of increased loan balance as well as increased loan yield. A growth in deposit volume of 419 MNOK resulted in increased interest expenses of only 0.4 MNOK as the deposit rates offered have dropped in all currencies. Net interest income came in at 68.8 MNOK, up 2.1 MNOK from the previous quarter.
Net other income improved 3.8 MNOK from Q2-20 to minus 2.8 MNOK in Q3-20. Income commission and fees was up 2.8 MNOK to 11.4 MNOK hitting its highest level ever as a result of increased sale of insurances.
Total income came in at 65.9 MNOK, up 5.9 MNOK from the previous quarter.
Total operating expenses increased by 4.3 MNOK from the previous quarter to 29.5 MNOK. Personnel expenses increased by 1.5 MNOK as a result of increased employee bonus provisions and an increase in number of employees. The increase in other administrative expenses of 2.2 MNOK from the previous quarter was partly a result of one-off expenses for the Merkur Market listing of 1.1 MNOK as well as increased credit expenses related to increased new sales volume.
Losses on loans developed very well and came in at 18.8 MNOK/ 2.6 % of gross loans, down from 21.7 MNOK/ 3.0 % in the previous quarter. The relatively low loan losses is a result of good performance in the Norwegian portfolio in terms of loans past due as well as the fact that growth in Stage 3 volumes in previous quarters have flattened. This now represents 10.4 % of total volume, down from 11.2 % at the end of Q2- 20. We refer to note 2 for additional information about loan losses.
Profit before tax was 17.6 MNOK and net profit was 13.2 MNOK, up from 9.9 MNOK in the previous quarter. Return on equity was 10.1 %, up from 7.7 % in the previous quarter.
Outlook
The consequences of the Covid-19 outbreak, both in terms of severity and length of the down turn, are still difficult to assess. Although the recovery after the sudden shock in the economy has been better than expected, the pandemic is still ongoing. Potential negative effects are reflected in the loan loss provisions
With a strong capital and liquidity situation, a flexible business model across three markets and low operating costs, Instabank is resilient to a downturn.
Instabank is committed to continue to develop the customer experience as well as bringing our expertise within paytech to companies seeking to innovate and digitize their business models as demonstrated with the new agreement with Coop Norge. This strengthen the bank's market position as a preferred paytech partner.
Alongside growth from the paytech partner strategy, Instabank expects the new easy-to-use mortgage loan product introduced in Q2-20 to contribute significantly to profitable growth, lowered credit risk as well as a diversified loan portfolio going forward.
Instabank expects to surpass the growth target in net lending for second half of 2020 of 250-300 MNOK and are targeting a growth in net lending of 100 MNOK in Q4-20.
In 2021, Instabank target a growth of 600 MNOK in net lending and return on equity (ROE) above 10 %.
The bank's liquidity and capital situation are expected to remain at a satisfactory level in the future. It should be noted that there is typically uncertainty related to assessments of future conditions.
Other Information
There has been a limited review of the accounts in accordance with ISRE 2410 as of 30.09.20 by the bank's auditors and the result after tax is added to retained earnings in full.

Expected Credit Loss
Instabank apply the IFRS9 framework and methodology consisting of three stages of impairment when calculating Expected Credit Loss (ECL). The three stages include Stage 1 which consist of non-impaired exposure, Stage 2 which consist of exposure where credit risk has significantly increased since origination and Stage 3 which consist of observed impairment exposure following a 90 days past due definition. Following the non-observed and observed default definition, LGD is approached by separating pre-default and post-default LGD where the latter is used for Stage 3 ECL calculation. The overall staging criteria is based on a combination of observed events, past due observations and submodels predicting the probability of default (PD), exposure at default (EAD) and loss given default (LGD). Predictions follow a 12-month accumulation in Stage 1, while Stage 2 and 3 follow a lifetime approach.
Significant increase in credit risk
Stage 2 consist of exposure where credit risk has significantly increased since origination following several different criteria, including early past due observations (30 - 90 days), current forbearance history and increase in probability of default (PD) between origination and the reporting date. The latter predictive model employ historical behavior data in order to predict the probability of default in the next 12 months, where default is defined as 90 days past due. The below table show the trigger thresholds that define a significant increase in PD origination and the reporting date.
| Norway | Finland | Sweden | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low Risk at origination | 300 % | 300 % | 300 % |
| High Risk at origination | 150 % | 110 % | 110 % |
Macroeconomic input to ECL model
Instabank has employed three macroeconomic models for each country in measuring ECL in accordance with difference macroeconomic scenarios, including a pessimistic, baseline and optimistic scenario. The models explain historical correlation between macroeconomic indicators and portfolio default levels and future projection of the macroeconomic indicators in turn adjust PD according to model correlations and the model variables. The macroeconomic projections are based on the NiGEM-model developed by UK's Institute of Economic and Social Research and the model parameters vary per country due to differences in goodness-of-fit between macroeconomic indicators and the portfolio default levels and its development. In addition, macroeconomic indicators are evaluated in terms of economic logic towards probability of default. In the Norway model, "Employment Rate" is the ratio between the Employment and the Population Working Age and in the Sweden and Finland model, Consumption is shown in millions and employed as the increase of the Consumption being an indicator for improving economic conditions and incomes with a further expectancy of a decrease in probability of default.

ECL sensitivity between macro scenarios
The weighting of the scenarioes was unaltered at [30 % pessimistic - 40 % baseline - 30 % optimistic] during Q3 after an update in Q2 of future projection of macroeconomic indicators, including short and long term effects of COVID-19. The projections reflect a worsening in all employment and consumption based indicators, especially in shorter term, and in addition cause ECL per scenario to differ to a greater extent. The projections of macroeconomic indicators including

impacts due to COVID-19 and its impact on defaults are still uncertain at this time due to the net effect of worsening macroeconomic conditions and the numerous government supports at different levels, hence the equal probability weighting of the pessimistic and optimistic scenario occurring in the final ECL

Report on Review of Interim Financial Information
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying interim balance sheet of Instabank ASA as of 30 September 2020, the income statement and the statement of changes in equity for the nine-month period then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with the accounting policies described in note 1. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.
Scope of Review
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs), and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial information does not give a true and fair view of the financial position of the entity as at 30 September 2020, and of its financial performance for the nine-month period then ended in accordance with the accounting policies described in note 1.
