INTERIM REPORT Q1 2022

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.

At the end of Q1-22, Instabank had 37 full-time employees and 15 part-time employees.

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 highly customisable, and payment plans range from three to fifteen years, or a flexible credit facility. Instabank also offers deposits in Germany through a partnership with Raisin Bank.

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.

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 invest 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, 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.

On 28th of Mars, Lunar Bank launched an offer to acquire all shares of Instabank. On the 12th of April Lunar announced that the minimum 90% acceptance condition was met. The completion of the offer is subject to regulatory approval.

Operational Developments

The growth in net loans came in at 153 MNOK in Q1- 22, or 194 MNOK adjusted for negative currency effects. The mortgage volume increased by 149 MNOK in the quarter.

The growth comes as a result of solid performance throughout the organisation who successfully delivers 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 44 % of net loans in Norway and 29 % of total net loans, up from 40 %/ 26 % per the end of Q4-2021.

The mortgage product has proven to be 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. We do not demand that customers do a complete restructuring of their debt, including their current mortgage, and do not offer the product to high-risk customers with loans in default. Depending on what is the best economic solution for the customer, we offer to refinance their unsecured debt in a second- or first-priority mortgage. Up until now, the majority of Instabank's disbursed mortgages are refinancing of unsecured debt.

In Finland, the market has improved after the governmental restrictions on consumer loans with an interest cap of 10 % and restrictions for the marketing of consumer loans, ended by the end of Q3-21. Growth in net loans in the quarter came in at 68 MNOK or 104 MNOK adjusted for negative currency effects, up 50 MNOK from the previous quarter.

In Sweden, Instabank does not allocate capital to growth as the loan yield is the lowest among the three countries Instabank operates in. As a result, net loans declined by 20 MNOK.

Although our customers have experienced increased electricity prices and interest rates on lending, share of loans past due had good performance in the quarter. By the end of Q1-22, only 8.8 % of total loans were 1-30 days past due, hitting its lowest level since Q1-17.

Non-performing loans (NPL) volume was 339 MNOK at the end of the quarter, only 8.2 % of total gross loans. Instabank does not currently have any forward flows agreement as we find it more attractive to make one-off NPL sales. On 24th of February 2022, Instabank announced an agreement to sell a NPL portfolio in Norway representing a gross value of 93 MNOK. The transaction is expected to be closed in the second quarter of 2022.

Balance Sheet

Net loans to customers increased by 153 MNOK in Q1-22 to 3,936 MNOK.

Net loan balance growth (MNOK):

Deposits from customers increased by 297 MNOK to 4,344 MNOK at the end of the quarter.

Common equity Tier 1 Capital ratio was 19.3 %, and the total capital ratio was 22.3 % at the end of Q1-22, 2.0 % points above the total regulatory capital requirement of 20.3 %.

Total assets at the end of Q1-22 were 5,155 MNOK.

At the end of Q1-22, the bank had 67,678 customers, of which 50,134 were loan customers and 17,544 were deposit customers.

Profit and Loss

Net interest income came in at 78,2 MNOK, down from 79.9 MNOK in the previous quarter and up from 58,4 MNOK compared to Q1-21 (up 34%). The decrease from previous quarter resulted from fewer interest days in Q1-22 and increased interest expenses as deposit volumes increased by 297 MNOK.

Net other income was negatively impacted by a decline in the value of securities of 2.5 MNOK due to market turmoil caused by the ongoing war in Ukraine. Net other income came in at 7.1 MNOK, down from 9.8 MNOK in the previous quarter.

Total income came in at 85,4 MNOK, down from 89.8 MNOK in the previous quarter and up 14 MNOK/ 21 % from the same quarter last year following growth in net loans.

The Lunar bid process impacted operating expenses. When the Lunar bid for all shares in Instabank was announced, the share price increased, causing an increase in provisions for social security cost for the warrants of 3.2 MNOK. Advisory expenses related to the due diligence process in the quarter amounted to 1 MNOK. Total operating expenses came in at 39.7 MNOK and adjusted for one-offs, 35.4 MNOK.

Losses on loans came in at 20.5 MNOK or 2.0 % of gross loans to customers, down from 23. MNOK/ 2.4 % in Q4-21. The decrease is because of an increased share of low-risk mortgages in the quarter and historical low share loans past due 1-30 days.

Instabank reports a profit before tax of 25.2 MNOK, and after-tax of 20.6 MNOK in Q1-22, representing a 47 % increase in net profit before tax from the same quarter last year when net profit after tax came in at 14.0 MNOK.

Outlook

On 28th of Mars, Lunar Bank launched an offer to acquire all shares of Instabank. On the 12th of April Lunar announced that the minimum 90% acceptance condition was met. The completion of the offer is subject to regulatory approval.

The Instabank team are excited over the opportunity to become part of Lunar and together challenge, innovate and build an even stronger Nordic entity. We are convinced that the joint companies will benefit our customers, employees and stakeholders. We are impressed with the Lunar team, products and customer solutions and their remarkable achievements in the tech and banking sectors. Teamed together, we will lead the transformation of the Nordic banking markets, both for private and business customers, and offer banking services in a new and better way.

The Norwegian Ministry of Finance has decided to increase the countercyclical capital buffer to 1.5 per cent as of 30th June 2022, followed by an increase to 2.0 per cent as of 31st December 2022 and to 2.5 per cent as of 31st March 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 31.03.22 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 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 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.

Macroeconomic input to ECL model

"Instabank has employed one 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 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. These macroeconomic projections were utilized during 2021 due to uncertainty and volatility, especially regarding 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 condensed statement of financial position of Instabank ASA as of 31 March 2022, the condensed statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and the statement of changes in equity for the three-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 31 March 2022, and its financial performance for the three-month period then ended in accordance with the accounting policies described in note 1.
