Rate hikes temporarily put pressure on the net interest margin Six-week notice period on loan interest rates increases

Net loan development

Net loan balance growth

Key comments

  • Increased demand from the Finnish market for consumer loans, resulting in net loan growth of 129 MNOK in the quarter
  • Finland more attractive than consumer loans in Norway in terms of profitability
  • Mortgages increased by 116 MNOK in the quarter and 750 MNOK in 2022

Net loans to customers

Development in yields and funding cost

Development in yields and funding cost Key comments

  • The rate hikes we notified our lending customers in Norway about in the third quarter came into effect in the fourth quarter.
  • In Finland, the customer's offset rate is adjusted based on the 3 Months Euribor rate, which increased significantly during the fall. Consequently, the yield for unsecured loans increased to 12.0 % in Q4-22 from 10.7 % in the previous quarter and mortgages yield increased to 7.1 % from 6.4 % in the previous quarter.
  • The Norwegian market has had the most significant increase in deposit rates. The bank's funding cost increased to 2.0 % from 1.2 % in the previous quarter.
  • The liquidity yield has until Q4-22 been negatively impacted by the market turmoil and increased market rate, but came back strong with unrealised gains of 7.2 MNOK in Q4-22 and a yield of 3.9 %

Diversified loan portfolio

Diversified funding volume

Total income

  • Total interest income increased to 109.3 MNOK from 98.9 MNOK in the previous quarter, driven by growth in net loans and increased loan yield to 10.3 % from 9.8 % in the previous quarter.
  • Interest expenses came in at 27.9 MNOK, up from 18.5 MNOK in the previous quarter following increased deposit rates.
  • The increase in net other income came from improved yield on securities 8

Operating expenses

Operating expenses breakdown

Cost/income ratio

  • The decrease in personnel expenses from the previous quarter resulted from low employee bonus provisions as well as a reversal of provisions for social security on warrants
  • Administrative cost included 1.5 MNOK in one-off advisory cost
  • The cost to income ratio decreased for the third consecutive quarter, demonstrating economy of scale

Credit risk

Impairment losses

MNOK 23,0 20,5 24,0 23,7 32,1 2,4 % 2,0 % 2,2 % 2,1 % 2,7 % Q4-21 Q1-22 Q2-22 Q3-22 Q4-22 Impairment losses Loan loss ratio -0,5 %

Loans past due

Losses per loan type

  • Impairment losses for mortgages remained low at 0.9 MNOK or 0.2 % and was partly a result of changes in the IFRS 9 model
  • Impairment losses for unsecured loans increased following the rise in loans past due, a seasonal variation that are expected to improve in Q1- 23

Profit development

  • Strong growth in total income as well as good cost control resulted in net profit before tax of 29.9 MNOK and 25.4 MNOK after-tax profits
  • ROE was 14.7 %, up from 12.6 in the previous quarter

Capital adequacy

Developments in capital adequacy ratios

CET1 requirement per country and total

  • Instabank improved its capital ratios during the quarter, driven by a strong net profit after tax, transformation to the standardised approach to establish the risk-weighted volume for operational risk and issuance of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital of 80 MNOK.
  • Common Equity Tier 1 Capital (CET1) ratio was 19.8 %, and the total capital ratio was 24.9 %, up from 19.7 % and 22.5 % at the end of the previous quarter. The CET 1 ratio was 2.4 % above the regulatory CET1 requirement.
  • The countercyclical buffer requirement increased by 0.5 percentage points for exposures in Norway at the end of the quarter.
  • The Norwegian Ministry of Finance has decided to increase the countercyclical capital buffer to 2.5 per cent as of 31st March 2023

Guiding from Instabank

About the surroundings

International:

  • The global economy is facing significant challenges. Growth has lost momentum, high inflation has broadened out across countries and products, and is proving persistent.
  • Interest rates increases, necessary to curb inflation, heighten financial vulnerabilities.
  • Russia's war in Ukraine is increasing the risks of debt distress in low-income countries and food insecurity

Demand for financing:

  • The default rate for consumer loans to Norwegian customers was 11.2 % at the end of 2021, compared to 13.3 % the previous year. For Norwegian banks specialising in consumer loans, the default rate was 15.9 %, down from 19.3 % at the end of 2020.
  • The number of debt collection cases related to consumer debt made up 10.7 % of the total cases for collection by all debt collection agencies in Norway at the end of 2021.
  • It is reasonable to assume increased default given the decline in real wages and, not least, very high costs for energy, food, and debt servicing means that vulnerable customers can quickly lose their footing and that this will represent a brake on the market. The demand will probably be high, but the proportion who can get a loan will be all the lower.

Norway:

  • Inflation is still high, but on the way down
  • Expected relatively flat interest rate development over the next 12 months, then a decline.
  • After falling markedly from 2020 to 2022, the unemployment rate has risen slightly from the spring 2022 and was 3.4 % in December, but still lower than pre-pandemic levels
  • Wages grew by 3.9 % in 2022. With inflation of 5.8 %, this means an overall real wage decrease of 1.9 %. In 2023, a small real wage decrease of 0.2 per cent is estimated
  • Housing prices increased by 1.5 % % in 2022. The Norwegian Central Bank expects a decrease in housing prices at 4.3 % in 2023

This probably means;

In 2023, there may be higher lending growth than in 2022, but in combination with higher funding costs, increasing defaults and losses that put pressure on profitability, the expectations are a moderate growth in lending and profit

Profit after tax

Financials

Profit Strong improvement in profits

ROE Strong improvement in performance

Gross loans Growth is necessary to improve profits

Cost to income

Targets for 2023

  • o Increased diversification Repositioning from a typical consumer loans bank
  • o Growth in lending approx.1.0 billion NOK Current excess equity and generated profits enable high growth
  • o Strong profit growth

~ 20 % increase in result after-tax within reach
