INTERIM REPORT Q3 2021 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 on Euronext Growth at Oslo Børs, ticker INSTA.

Our aim has always been to make the customer experience as smooth as possible. The ability to grasp opportunities and quickly implement changes is at the heart of our culture. 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 range 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 make the investments upfront 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 26 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 %. No other individual shareholders were holding more than 10 % of the shares.

At the end of Q3-21, Instabank had 34 full-time employees and 10 part-time employees.

Operational Developments

Instabank continued to deliver on the growth story with an increase in net loans of 298 MNOK in the quarter. Growth in net loans year to date reached 838 MNOK and Instabank expects to surpass the growth target of 1 billion NOK for 2021. The growth is a result of strong performance throughout the organisation who is successfully delivering on the strategy, effective operations, distribution and product offerings meeting customer demands. Instabank continued its path towards becoming a well-diversified bank with lower credit risk as the mortgage product increased to 34 % of net loans in Norway and 22 % of total net loans, up from 28 %/ 18 % per the end of the second quarter.

The mortgages product has proven to represent an attractive and simple solution for those seeking to refinance unsecured loans and are homeowners. We offer them a solution where they utilise the value of their home to achieve a lower interest rate and thus increased disposable income. Unlike some other banks operating in this segment, we do not demand that customers do a full restructuring of their debt including their current mortgage and do not offer the product to high-risk customers with loans in default. We typically offer refinancing of their unsecured debt in a second priority mortgage. For customers with a fully utilised mortgage credit line with their main bank of 60 %, refinancing their unsecured debt in a second priority mortgage with Instabank is often the best solution. Up until now, 85 % of Instabank's disbursed mortgages are refinancing of unsecured debt.

The mortgages volume grew by 212 MNOK or 36 % in the third quarter to 794 MNOK in net loans by the end of the quarter. Loan yield remained at 6.8 % and credit risk measures in terms of loans past due are still strong and better than expected, with only 0.4 % of total gross loans more than 60 days past due, same as per end of the previous quarter.

Total net loans growth in Norway for all products came in at 269 MNOK, of which 57 MNOK from unsecured loans, including sales finance.

In Finland, the market was still influenced by governmental restrictions on consumer loans with an interest cap of 10 % along with restrictions for the marketing of consumer loans, which both ended by the end of the third quarter. Anyhow, Instabank was able to grow net loans by 15 MNOK.

In Sweden, net loans grew by 15 MNOK to 140 MNOK. The Swedish market remained very competitive in terms of low yield relative to risk compared to the other two countries and Sweden is not a high priority for Instabank.

During the third quarter, Covid-19 restrictions were lifted, and the society went back to normal after about one and half year with Covid-19 restrictions. Until the reporting date, the pandemic's economic consequences have not negatively impacted the customers' payment behaviour, rather the opposite. By the end of the third quarter, loans past due 1-30 days were 12.0 % versus 13.7 % one year earlier, and loans past due 31-60 days also improved to 2.7 % versus 3.3 % one year ago.

Non-performing loans (NPL) volume were 268 MNOK at the end of the quarter, only 7.1 % of total gross loans, down from 315 MNOK/ 10.5 % one year ago.

For mortgages, only 4 MNOK or 0.2 % of total gross loans of 800 MNOK are non-performing loans.

Balance Sheet

Net loans to customers increased by 298 MNOK in Q3-21 to 3,609 MNOK. Of total net loans, 36 % was outside Norway at the end of the quarter, down from 38 % at the end of Q2-21.

Deposits from customers increased by 312 MNOK to 3,853 MNOK at the end of the quarter, representing a well-balanced growth of deposits and loan volumes.

Common equity Tier 1 Capital ratio was 19.3 %, and the total capital ratio was 22.4 % at the end of Q3-21, 2.0 % points above the total regulatory capital requirement of 20.3 %.

Total assets at the end of Q3-21 were 4.608 MNOK.

At the end of Q3-21, the bank had 64,464 customers, of which 48,822 were loan customers and 15,642 were deposit customers.

Profit and Loss

Instabank reports a record-high net profit after tax of 24.4 MNOK in Q3-21, up from 19.5 MNOK in the previous quarter and an 85 % increase from the same quarter last year when net profit came in at 13.2 MNOK.

Total interest income increased by 9.8 MNOK from Q2-21 to 85.7 MNOK in Q3-21 following the strong growth in net loans. Instabank acquired a portfolio of unsecured loans at a principal value of 47.7 MNOK from Optin Bank ASA in June 2021. The purchase price was 85 % of face value. The discount value is recognised as interest income during the expected lifetime of the loan portfolio of which 1.5 MNOK was booked in Q3-21.

Although deposit volumes increased by 312 MNOK, Interest expense increased only 0.4 MNOK from Q2- 21 to 9.5 MNOK in Q3-21 as the funding cost margin decreased by 0.1 % points to 1.0 %.

Net interest income came in at 76.3 MNOK, up 9,5 MNOK from the previous quarter.

Net other income was 9.9 MNOK, up from 7.7 MNOK in the previous quarter mainly because of solid insurance sales.

Total income came in at 86.2 MNOK, a solid increase of 11.7 MNOK from the previous quarter.

Total operating expenses came in at 33.2 MNOK, representing an increase of 1.8 MNOK from the previous quarter. The increase was related to personnel expenses, marketing, and other administrative expenses. Cost to income improved significantly from the previous quarter by 3.6 % points down to 38.5 %, demonstrating economy of scale.

Losses on loans came in 20.4 MNOK or 2.3 % off gross loans to customers, up from 17.1 MNOK/ 2.1 % in Q2-21. The increase is because of seasonal effects, partly offset by an increased share of low-risk mortgages in the quarter. The loan loss ratio for mortgages remained stable at 0.7 % in Q3-21.

Profit before tax was 32.6 MNOK, and net profit was 24.4 MNOK, up from 13.2 MNOK in the same quarter last year. The quarter's return on equity (ROE) was 16.6 %, up from 10.1 % in Q3-20. ROE year-to-date is 13.6 %, well above the target of 13.0 % for the year 2021.

Outlook

The economy has recovered after the Covid-19 restrictions have been eased, and unemployment ratios are at approximately the same low levels as before the pandemic.

15 months after launch, the mortgage product have proven to represent low risk growth, an attractive yield and a positive contribution to the overall ROE as mortgages require less capital than unsecured loans.

Instabank is confident that the targets for 2021 of 1 billion NOK growth in gross loans and ROE of 13 % will be met. After three quarters, gross loans have already increased by 882 MNOK, and ROE is 13.6 %.

Instabank will continue developing the customer experience and bringing our expertise within paytech to companies seeking to innovate and digitize their business models and strengthen the bank's market position as a preferred paytech partner.

With a solid capital and liquidity situation, a flexible and scalable business model across three markets, an increasing share of mortgages and a low NPL ratio, Instabank is resilient to changing market conditions.

The Ministry of Finance has decided to increase the countercyclical capital buffer to 1.5 per cent as of 30 June 2022, in line with guidance from the Norwegian central bank, Norges Bank. In its capital planning, the bank has factored in a further increase to 2.0 % in 2023.

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 30.09.21 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. The overall stageing 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 criterias, 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 employs 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.

Trigger tresholds significant increase in PD 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 one macroeconomic model 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 scenarios was unaltered at [30 % pessimistic - 40 % baseline - 30 % optimistic] during Q2-2021 after an update in Q2-2020 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 governments 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 condensed statement of financial position of Instabank ASA as of 30 September 2021, the condensed statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income 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 present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the entity as at 30 September 2021, and its financial performance for the threemonth period then ended in accordance with the accounting policies described in note 1.
