Statement by the CEO

Ambitious agenda for 2021 and several new partners

The fourth quarter marked the start of Resurs transformation journey to ensure the long-term competitiveness, sustainability and profitability of the bank. Resurs Bank will be a more data-driven and tech-oriented financial player in 2021. One of the first steps was to raise our sights and review our work methods to better capitalise on the synergies that are now being created through the new Nordic organisation. The more data-driven and agile work method of product development in autonomous teams that was implemented in the autumn immediately generated results in the form of a new version of our bank app, which has been developed in house, and now makes it even easier for our customers to manage their commitments with Resurs. Another part of the transformation journey is more intense focus on sustainability, and a business-driven Nordic Sustainability Manager was recruited in the quarter with the task of developing our Nordic sustainability agenda.

The review of the balance sheet conducted in connection with the start of the transformation journey identified an impairment requirement of SEK 48 million, of which SEK 38 million referred to previously capitalised IT investments. The transformation journey also resulted in personnel changes and reductions, which cost SEK 22 million. Nonrecurring costs for the fourth quarter totalled SEK 70 million. These measures are creating the conditions necessary for ensuring that important business-driven IT projects and solutions can be carried out in the next few years. In 2021, we intend to present new financial targets and also host a Capital Market Day at which we will present more details in our transformation journey, future market position and the strategy for achieving the new financial targets.

Several new partners and positive signs in Norway

The total lending declined 2 per cent year-on-year. The restrictive credit assessment that Resurs introduced in Q1 2020 remained fully in place and restricted growth. At the same time, the proactive measures are in line with the sustainable credit lending that is fundamental to Resurs's operations and ensure that customers do not borrow more than their personal financial situation permits. We continued to see no changed to our customers' payment patterns. Excluding the Norwegian market and sale of the NPL portfolio, the increase in lending in constant currencies was 11 per cent. The Norwegian market remained challenging, at the same time as there were signs that the efforts made to develop more attractive offerings have been positively received.

Demand in Payment Solutions varied greatly between different industries and markets, which was an effect of the restrictions imposed to reduce the spread of contagion in physical stores. However, a broad diversification in Nordic retail gave us important resilience and an ability to offset industries with falling demand with other industries that performed relatively better. During the year, we continued to develop our e-commerce offering and in 2020 we entered into partnerships with 75 new e-commerce players. During the quarter, a new partnership was also initiated with Uno-X in Denmark and the company's nationwide chain of 248 unmanned petrol stations. We could also welcome back HiFi-klubben, with more than 20 stores in Norway and Sweden, after a couple of years with a competitor.

The trend in Insurance remained strong, with increased sales and profitability in the Motor segment, among other factors, contributing to a 13 per cent increase in the technical result in 2020. Insurance started a partnership with Elon, with 350 appliance stores and online sales in Sweden, during the quarter.

High confidence in the capital market and profit distributed to shareholders

In line with our strategy of long-term diversified financing, we extended our ABS financing with JP Morgan Chase Bank during the quarter. We applied the same strategy to the management of our nonperforming loans, selling receivables for a gross amount of slightly more than SEK 500 million. The sale reduced our capital requirements and positively impacted liquidity, but ultimately had a neutral effect on earnings. Being able to carry out these transactions, given the market conditions, shows the confidence that the capital market has in Resurs.

In accordance with the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority's recommendations in December, the Board proposes a dividend of 25 per cent of the net profit for 2019 and 2020 in spring 2021, corresponding to SEK 2.68 per share. The dividend policy is unchanged and the Board's intention is to pay the remaining predicted dividend in autumn 2021.

I am impressed by how quickly the business has been able to change and adapt to meet both external challenges and internal change processes in these exceptional times. This gives us self-confidence now as we look ahead and switch focus in order to strengthen Resurs's competitiveness and deliver growth in the long term with an even clearer sustainability approach. We will become a more datadriven and tech-oriented financial company by offering the most innovative services and products in the Nordic market that create business and customer value as well as value for shareholders.

Group results*

Fourth quarter 2020, October–December

Operating income

The Group's operating income decreased 7 per cent to SEK 876 million (945). The relatively lower income was mainly due to the decline in Norway, and mix effects in Payment Solutions where many of Resurs's retail finance partners managed relatively well during the pandemic, with unchanged, and in some cases higher, demand. At the same time, these partnerships involve lower margins, which negatively impacted the overall NBI margin. Excluding nonrecurring costs of SEK 10 million for impairment of a small unlisted shareholding, operating income fell 6 per cent.

Net interest income decreased 8 per cent to SEK 681 million (741), interest income totalled SEK 775 million (846) and interest expense totalled SEK -93 million (-105). The decline in net interest income was mainly the result of the lower lending in Norway and mix effects in Payment Solutions. Fee & commission income amounted to SEK 45 million (55) and fee & commission expense to SEK -16 million (-16), resulting in a total net commission for the banking operations of SEK 29 million (39). The lower net commission was due in its entirety to the effects of COVID-19, attributable to lower credit card income, loan commission and lower factoring income.

In insurance operations, premium earned, net, were unchanged at SEK 231 million (231), while claim costs, which are recognised under insurance compensation, net, totalled SEK -57 million (-55). Fee & commission expenses in the insurance operations amounted to SEK -62 million (-59). In total, net insurance income decreased to SEK 113 million (117).

Recovery continued in the capital market during the quarter, and the market value of equities and bond portfolios increased, which resulted in a positive outcome for net income from financial transactions for Insurance of SEK 6 million (5). Nonrecurring costs of SEK 10 million for the impairment of a small unlisted limited company were charged to net income from financial transactions, and the item totalled SEK -5 million (-16). Other operating income, mainly comprising remuneration from lending operations, amounted to SEK 58 million (64).

Operating expenses

The Group's expenses before credit losses excluding nonrecurring costs declined 5 per cent to SEK -354 million (-370) due to continuing good cost control. The quarter was charged with nonrecurring costs of SEK 60 million related to the transformation journey, of which SEK 22 million was costs related to personnel reductions and SEK 38 million to previously capitalised IT investments. Including nonrecurring costs, the Group's expenses before credit losses increased 12 per cent year-on-year to SEK -413 million (-370). Viewed in relation to the operations' income, the cost level (excluding Insurance and nonrecurring costs) amounted to 40.3 per cent (39.2 per cent) as a result of the lower income level.

Credit losses totalled SEK -195 million (-210) and the credit loss ratio was 2.5 per cent (2.7 per cent). Excluding nonrecurring effects of SEK 35 million in Q4 2019, the comparative figures are SEK -175 million and 2.2 per cent, respectively. Excluding nonrecurring costs, credit losses for the quarter increased both in absolute terms and as a percentage of lending, which was mainly an effect of the previously higher growth in lending. The bank has not yet seen any changed payment patterns among its customers due to COVID-19, which is why credit losses for the period were not impacted by direct effects related to COVID-19. The risk-adjusted NBI margin totalled 7.9 per cent (8.6 per cent). In addition to the effect of the previously higher growth in lending, the lower margin was mainly due to changes to the mix in Payment Solutions.

Profit

Operating profit fell 26 per cent to SEK 268 million (364), excluding nonrecurring costs operating profit declined 15 per cent. Tax expense for the quarter amounted to SEK -68 million (-75). Net profit for the quarter amounted to SEK 200 million (289).

Full-year 2020, January–December

Operating income and expenses

The Group's operating income declined 2 per cent to SEK 3,613 million (3,679). The relatively lower income was mainly due to the continued decline in Norway, and mix effects in Payment Solutions where many of Resurs's retail finance partners managed relatively well during the pandemic, with unchanged, and in some cases higher, demand. At the same time, these partnerships involve lower margins, which negatively impacted the overall NBI margin.

Net interest income fell 1 per cent to SEK 2,859 million (2,902), with interest income amounting to SEK 3,259 million (3,311) and interest expense to SEK -400 (-409).

Fee & commission income amounted to SEK 186 million (223) and fee & commission expense to SEK -64 million (-60). Costs increased 2 per cent to SEK -1,472 million (-1,447), and excluding nonrecurring costs fell 2 per cent due to continuing good cost control.

Viewed in relation to the operations' income, the cost level (excluding Insurance and nonrecurring costs) continued to improve and amounted to 38.6 per cent (39.0 per cent). Credit losses totalled SEK -854 million (-669) and the credit loss ratio was 2.7 per cent (2.3 per cent). Excluding nonrecurring costs, credit losses totalled SEK -779 million (-634) and the credit loss ratio was 2.5 per cent (2.1 per cent). Credit losses increased both in absolute terms and as a percentage of lending, which was an effect of the previously higher growth in lending. The riskadjusted NBI margin was 8.2 per cent (9.4 per cent), and excluding nonrecurring costs the margin amounted to 8.4 per cent (9.5 per cent).

Profit

Operating income decreased 18 per cent to SEK 1,287 million (1,563). Excluding nonrecurring costs, operating profit fell 10 per cent, mainly due to lower income. Net profit for the period amounted to SEK 954 million (1,216). Tax expense for the period amounted to SEK -333 million (-346).

COVID-19

An extra forward-looking credit provision of SEK 75 million was made in the first quarter of 2020 to meet potential higher credit losses, in addition to the model-based reserves, in accordance with IFRS 9. It remains difficult to assess the effects of COVID-19 on Resurs's operations. The company has not yet noted any negative trend in customers' payment patterns. We continue to believe that the risk of default could be negatively affected from the, which has been taken into consideration in the extra credit provision. Uncertainty about the future declined, but remains high as regards rising unemployment and the risk of lower solvency, but the overall assessment is that no additional credit loss reserves need to be made at present due to COVID-19.

Resurs took action at an early stage of COVID-19 to introduce temporary austerity measures in credit lending in Consumer Loans in order to ensure continued high control of the risk level, which reduced the risk in new lending in all markets, with the associated declining volumes. In addition to this, new lending in Finland was primarily negatively affected by interest limitation and direct marketing regulations that were temporarily introduced in early Q3 2020. The direct effect on the Group's earnings was mainly related to the decline in the travel industry, which in turn has negatively impacted and is expected to continue to impact credit card commission and currency exchange fees negatively, while lower factoring activity resulted in lower commissions. Overall, Insurance was only marginally impacted during the quarter, even though the segment's smallest business line of Travel was negatively affected.

Financial position on 31 December 2020*

Comparative figures for this section refer to 31 December 2019, except for cash flow for which the comparative figure refers to the same period in the preceding year.

The Group's financial position is strong and on 31 December 2020 the capital base amounted to SEK 5,367 million (5,071) in the consolidated situation, comprising the Parent Company, Resurs Holding, and the Resurs Bank Group. The total capital ratio was 17.4 per cent (16.3 per cent) and the Common Equity Tier 1 ratio was 15.1 per cent (13.6 per cent).

Due to COVID-19, the authorities decided in spring 2020 to reduce the regulatory minimum capital requirement in the countercyclical capital buffer. This entails a total reduction of about 1.8 percentage points to 0.2 per cent for Resurs.

Lending to the public amounted to SEK 30,858 million (31,345) on 31 December 2020, representing a decrease of just under 2 per cent and excluding currency effects an increase of 2 per cent. The specification of lending on 31 December 2020 was as follows: Sweden 49 per cent, Norway 21 per cent, Denmark 13 per cent and Finland 17 per cent. The weaker lending performance was the result of lower lending in Norway, NPL sale that negatively impacted lending by about 1 per cent and a weaker NOK.

In addition to capital from shareholders and bond investors, the operations are financed by deposits from the public. The Group is working actively on various sources of financing to create and maintain a diversified financing for the long term.

On 31 December 2020, deposits from the public totalled SEK 24,692 million (24,409). The bank has deposits in SEK, NOK and EUR. Financing through issued securities totalled SEK 6,297 million (7,672). Liquidity remained extremely healthy and the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) was 288 per cent (264 per cent) in the consolidated situation. The minimum statutory LCR is 100 per cent. Lending to credit institutions on 31 December 2020 amounted to SEK 4,150 million (4,129). Holdings of treasury and other bills eligible for refinancing, as well as bonds and other interestbearing securities, totalled SEK 3,446 million (3,048). Bonds of a nominal SEK 1,300 million were issued under Resurs Bank's MTN programme in 2020. In the autumn, the bank also extended its ABS financing with JP Morgan Chase Bank with a financial framework of SEK 2 billion. The Group has a high level of liquidity for meeting its future commitments.

Intangible assets amounted to SEK 1,895 million (2,063), and primarily comprised the goodwill that arose in the acquisition of Finaref and Danaktiv in 2014 and yA Bank in 2015.

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 1,479 million (1,014) for the period. Cash flow from deposits amounted to SEK 934 million (3,624) and the net change in investment assets totalled SEK -491 million (-783). Cash flow from investing activities for the year totalled SEK -68 million (-103) and cash flow from financing activities was SEK -1,391 million (-372).

Dividends

The company is following the regulatory authorities' recommendations, positions and restrictions for banks and holding companies of banks to pay any dividends. In accordance with the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority's statement in December 2020, and after consultation with the Authority, the Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolve to pay a dividend corresponding to 25 per cent of the Group's total net profit for 2019 and 2020. The proposed dividend amounts to a total of SEK 536 million, corresponding to SEK 2.68 per share. The company's dividend policy remains unchanged and the remainder of the predicted dividend is intended to be paid in the fourth quarter of 2021 on the condition that the regulatory authorities' recommendations or positions are not extended or changed. During the period that it is not possible to understand the consequences of the ongoing pandemic, the Board intends to pay 50 per cent of the Group's net profit in dividends from earnings from 2020.

Stability despite a turbulent business environment

Fourth quarter 2020, October–December

The coronavirus pandemic continued to impact the quarter, primarily in the form of another lockdown in Denmark and Norway, which had a negative effect on retail. However, Payment Solutions' broad diversification in Nordic retail provided important resilience and a strong ability to offset industries with falling demand with other industries where demand remained intact. Another positive development was that many of Resurs's retail finance partners managed relatively well with unchanged, and in some cases higher, demand. At the same time, these partnerships involve lower margins, which negatively impacted the overall NBI margin.

The use of Supreme Card was lower due to cancelled travel and restaurant visits. A number of measures were continuously carried out during the year to reduce the effects, for example, redirecting communication to focus more on purchases for staycations and home improvements, together with greater flexibility for partial loan payments.

During the year, Resurs's e-commerce offering continued to be developed, which was well received by the market among both existing and new retail finance partners. In 2020, partnerships were signed with 75 new e-commerce players. During the quarter, a new partnership was also initiated with Uno-X in Denmark and the company's nationwide chain of 248 unmanned petrol stations. The new loyalty card solution now offered to Uno-X's customers allows them to use MobilePay via Uno-X's app to pay for petrol quickly and easily. It was also gratifying that a former partner, HiFi-klubben, with more than 20 stores in Norway and Sweden, has returned to Resurs after a couple of years with a competitor.

The launch of Gekås Ullared's new loyalty card produced by Resurs is scheduled for February 2021 but almost 10,000 new users signed up for the new card in this quarter alone. The partnership with Mekonomen Group continued with the broad roll-out of Resurs Checkout, whose push function makes it easier for customer to pay directly via the mobile.

Lending to the public on 31 December 2020 declined 4 per cent to SEK 10,994 million (11,426). In constant currencies, lending fell 1 per cent year-on-year. Weaker lending was mainly due to COVID-19 and a continued declining trend in Norway. Operating income amounted to SEK 338 million (397), down 15 per cent compared with the year-earlier quarter. The lower earnings were attributable mainly to the negative performance in Norway, mix effects with larger partners growing quicker due to the pandemic as well as lower fee & commission income primarily attributable to COVID-19. Operating income less credit losses amounted to SEK 290 million (305). The risk-adjusted NBI margin was 10.5 per cent (10.7 per cent), mainly due to the nonrecurring costs in credit losses that have a negative effect on the year-earlier quarter.

Full-year 2020, January–December

Lending to the public on 31 December 2020 declined 4 per cent to SEK 10,994 million (11,426). Operating income amounted to SEK 1,409 million (1,529), down 8 per cent compared with the year-earlier period. Operating income less credit losses amounted to SEK 1,147 million (1,317). The risk-adjusted NBI margin declined to 10.2 per cent (12.0 per cent), attributable primarily to changes in the customer mix and a higher credit loss ratio. Credit losses increased both in absolute terms and as a percentage of lending, which was mainly an effect of the extra credit provision made in the first quarter as a result of the expected future effects of COVID-19.

Consumer Loans

Demand at more normal levels contributed to stable quarter

Fourth quarter 2020, October–December

Demand for consumer credit loans was stable in all markets, except for in Finland, during the fourth quarter of the year. The temporary rules on direct marketing that Finland introduced earlier on the year probably contributed to reducing demand. In the Swedish market, demand was essentially back at normal levels since the summer and an offer of borrowing up to SEK 500,000 was made available in all Swedish sales channels during the quarter.

Growth in the Norwegian market remained low with the introduction of new legislation and the Gjeldsregisteret in 2019 contributing to changing the market. At the same time, signs were seen in the quarter that the efforts Resurs has made to develop more attractive offerings were positively received when they reached the market via new sales channels.

The more restrictive credit assessment that Resurs introduced at the start of the year continued in all markets and slowed growth. Sustainable credit lending is fundamental to Resurs and is a prerequisite for ensuring that customers do not borrow more than their personal financial situation permits. During the year, Resurs became a partner of Alektum Group's Shoppa Lagom initiative that aims to spread awareness and raise issues that help more people in society keep their finances balanced. By focusing on sustainable credit lending, Resurs is laying the foundation for smart and secure loans, and thereby sustainable business for all parties involved.

The new Nordic organisation established in the autumn is an important part of the transformation journey that Resurs embarked on during the quarter. Positive effects were noted relatively quickly in the form of a more efficient coordination at the Nordic level to capitalise on the all of the know-how found in the sales organisation.

Lending to the public on 31 December 2020 was largely unchanged at SEK 19,865 million (19,919), a 4 per cent increase in constant currencies. Operating income declined 3 per cent in the quarter to SEK 476 million (490). Operating income less credit losses fell to SEK 329 million (371), and the risk-adjusted NBI margin was 6.6 per cent (7.5 per cent). Credit losses for the quarter increased both in absolute terms and as a percentage of lending, which was mainly an effect of the historically high growth in lending and nonrecurring effects that positively impacted the year-earlier quarter.

Full-year 2020, January–December

Lending to the public on 31 December 2020 was largely unchanged at SEK 19,865 million (19,919). Operating income for the period increased 3 per cent to SEK 1,999 million (1,943). Operating income less credit losses totalled SEK 1,406 million (1,486), and the risk-adjusted NBI margin amounted to 7.1 per cent (8.0 per cent). The trend in the risk-adjusted NBI margin was mainly due to the performance of the Norwegian market and lower margins due to higher average loans with lower credit risk. Credit losses increased both in absolute terms and as a percentage of lending, which was mainly an effect of the extra credit provision made in the first quarter as a result of the expected future effects of COVID-19 and historically high growth in lending.

Insurance

Strong performance and improved combined ratio

Fourth quarter 2020, October–December

In the fourth quarter, the Insurance segment reported growth in earnings, and the combined ratio continued to improve compared with last year.

During the quarter, Insurance signed three partners in the Product business line, the largest being Elon with 350 appliance stores and online sales in Sweden. Elon decided to work together with Solid due to a strong value-based offering and Solid's extensive experience of long-term, strategic retail partnerships. The launch of these partners is planned to take place in the first quarter of 2021.

The segment is continuing to increase its digital presence and another payment method was launched in the Swedish market during the quarter to make it more efficient and easy for the customer.

Premium earned, net, was unchanged compared with the year-earlier quarter and amounted to SEK 232 million (232). Travel, the smallest business line of the segment, remained impacted by the ongoing pandemic; premium earned in Travel decreased 9 per cent, compared to the year-earlier quarter. Insurance compensation, net, increased slightly to SEK -57 million (-55). The increase was attributable to the Security business line with increased unemployment and short-time working as a consequence of COVID-19.

Operating income for the quarter rose 9 per cent to SEK 66 million (60). Further recovery took place during the quarter, and the market value of equities and bond portfolios increased, which resulted in a positive outcome for net income from financial transactions of SEK 6 million (5).

The technical result increased 3 per cent to SEK 36 million (35), primarily due to growth in the Motor business line and improved profitability in the Motor and Product business lines. Operating profit increased 16 per cent to SEK 43 million (37) year-on-year. The total combined ratio improved to 86.5 per cent (87.8 per cent), due to costs and operating expenses.

Full-year 2020, January–December

Premium earned, net, increased 2 per cent compared with the year-earlier period to SEK 913 million (898). This increase was attributable to the Security and Motor business lines. Operating income declined 2 per cent to SEK 219 million (225). The decrease was primarily an effect of the drastically reduced market value in the share and bond portfolios in March, which partially recovered up until December and total net expense from financial transactions for the year amounted to SEK -1 million (19). Income from non-life insurance operations increased SEK 14 million compared with the year-earlier period.

The technical result increased 13 per cent compared with the year-earlier period to SEK 117 million (104), primarily due to growth in the Motor and Security business lines, improved profitability in the Motor and Product business lines and good cost control. Operating profit fell SEK 5 million or 4 per cent to SEK 120 million (125) year-on-year. The total combined ratio improved to 88.2 per cent (89.6 per cent).

Significant events

January–December 2020

Resurs sold non-performing loans to leading international investor

In December 2020, Resurs Bank entered into an agreement with a leading international credit management company in non-performing loans to sell parts of Resurs's non-performing loans for a gross carrying amount of just over SEK 500 million. The sale had a positive impact on Resurs Bank's capital requirements and liquidity and ultimately had a neutral effect on earnings.

Resurs Bank extended its ABS financing – a sign of strength and trust

In line with Resurs's strategy of long-term diversified financing, Resurs Holding's subsidiary Resurs Bank is extending its existing ABS financing. The financing framework is for SEK 2 billion and is being carried out with JP Morgan Chase Bank.

The transformation journey towards greater competitiveness and growth has begun

Resurs's transformation journey began in October 2020 by creating a more efficient Nordic organisation and at the same time making investments in IT projects and technology solutions. As a result of the changed organisational structure, Resurs reduced its personnel by about 70 positions, which is expected to generate annual net savings of about SEK 43 million and entailed nonrecurring costs of SEK 22 million in Q4 2020.

Gekås Ullared chose Resurs Bank as partner

Gekås Ullared, one of the Nordic region's most successful retailers, chose Resurs Bank as a partner for taking the next step in card and payment solutions. The partnership has commenced and the transition to a new card and payment solution will take place in Q1 2021.

Resurs received an update from the rating company Nordic Credit Rating

In September 2020, Resurs Bank received an update from the rating company Nordic Credit Rating (NCR). The credit rating of BBB- was confirmed and the outlook was revised from negative to stable as Resurs, with lower credit losses and an improved net interest margin in Q2 2020, outperformed NCR's expectations.

Resurs becomes the first partner of Alektrum Group's Shoppa Lagom initiative

In September 2020, Resurs became the business world's first company to support, and become a partner of, Alektrum Group's Shoppa Lagom initiative that aims to spread awareness and raise issues that help more people in society keep their finances balanced.

New CEO starts at Resurs

Nils Carlsson became CEO of Resurs in June.

Extra credit provision in Resurs Bank

Resurs Holding's subsidiary Resurs Bank made an extra credit provision of SEK 75 million in Q1 2020 due to COVID-19, in accordance with IFRS 9.

Annual General Meeting held on 17 June 2020

The Board of Resurs Holding decided on 27 April that the 2020 Annual General Meeting would be held on 17 June 2020. The Board also confirmed that the company's financial position is strong but proposed that a resolution on payment of dividends be deferred and addressed instead when the consequences of COVID-19 could be better reviewed. Resurs Holding's dividend policy remains unchanged.

After the end of the period

Resurs Holding continues its transformation journey and carries out impairment

In connection with its transformation journey, the company conducted a review of its balance sheet and identified an impairment requirement of SEK 48 million, of which SEK 38 million related to capitalised IT investments. The impairment affected operating profit for the fourth quarter of 2020 but had no effect on liquidity and only a marginal effect on the capital base.

Risk and capital management

The Group's ability to manage risks and conduct effective capital planning is fundamental to its profitability. The business faces various forms of risk including credit risks, market risks, liquidity risks and operational risks. The Board has established operational policies with the aim of balancing the Group's risk taking, and to limit and control risks. All policies are updated as necessary and revised at least once annually. The Board and CEO are ultimately responsible for risk management. In general, there were no significant changes regarding risk and capital management during the period. The Group's risk management capabilities were affected to a certain extent during the pandemic but the impact was limited due to robust processes. The Group managed the risk of a loss of personnel in critical functions by introducing different zones and remote working. More employees working from home set higher requirements on information security and following up the bank's control framework. A more detailed description of the bank's risks, liquidity and capital management is presented in Note G2 Liquidity, Note G3 Capital Adequacy, and in the most recent annual report.

Notes to the condensed financial statements

G1. Accounting principles

Financial Reporting and with applicable provisions of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act for Credit Institutions and Securities Companies and the Swedish Financial Supervisory and Securities Companies (FFFS 2008:25), as well as the Swedish Financial Reporting

No new IFRS or IFRIC interpretations, effective as from 1 January 2020, have had any material impact on the Group.

The Parent Company has prepared its interim report in accordance with the requirements in the Annual Accounts Act (AAA) and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2, Accounting for Legal Entities. The same accounting and valuation principles were applied as in the latest Annual report.

G2. Financing - Consolidated situation

A core component of financing efforts is maintaining a well-diversified financing structure with access to several sources of financing. Access to a number of sources of financing means that it is possible to use the most appropriate source of financing at any particular time.

The main type of financing remains deposits from the public. This type of financing has been offered to customers in Sweden, Norway and Germany. Deposits, which are analysed on a regular basis, totalled SEK 24.694 million (24,647), whereof in Sweden SEK 11,535 million (11,391), in Norway SEK 6,441 million (6,601) and in Germany SEK 6.718 million (6,655). The lending to the public/deposits from the public ratio for the consolidated situation is 125 per cent (127 per cent).

Resurs Bank has a funding programme for issuing bonds, the programme amounts to SEK 9,000 million (8,000). Within the programme, Resurs Bank has been working successfully to issue bonds on a regular basis and sees itself as an established issuer on the market. At 31 December 2020 the program has nine outstanding issues at a nominal amount of SEK 4,900 million (5,450). Of the nine issues, seven are senior unsecured bonds and two issues are a subordinated loan of SEK 600 million (600). Resurs Bank has, outside the programme issued subordinated loan of SEK 200 million (200). Resurs Holding issued Additional Tier 1 Capital of a nominal SEK 300 million (300).

Liquidity - Consolidated situation

Liquidity risk includes the risk of not being able to meet liquidity commitments without significantly higher costs. The consolidated situation, must maintain a liquidity reserve and have access to an unutilised liquidity margin in the event of irregular or unexpected liquidity flows.

responsibilities and monitoring and include a contingency plan. The purpose of the contingency plan is to make preparations for various courses of action should the liquidity situation trend unfavourably. The contingency plan includes, among other audited by independent functions.

Liquidity comprises both a liquidity reserve and another liquidity portfolio that is monitored on a daily basis. The main liquidity risk is deemed to arise in the event multiple depositors simultaneously withdraw their deposited funds. An internal model is used to set minimum requirements for the amount of the liquidity reserve, calculated based on deposit volumes, the proportion covered by deposit insurance and relationship to depositors. The model also takes into account the future maturities of issued securities. The Board has stipulated that the liquidity reserve may never fall below SEK 1,400 million. Apart from the liquidity reserve, there is an intraday liquidity requirement of at least 4 per cent of deposits from the public, a minimum SEK 800 million. There are also other liquidity requirements regulating and controlling the business.

For detailed accounting principles for the Group, see the Annual report for 2019.

Resurs Bank has for a period of 18 months (revolving period), the right to continue sale of certain additional loan receivables to Resurs Consumer Loans. At 31 December 2020 a total of approximately SEK 2.5 billion in loan receivables had been transferred to Resurs Consumer Loans. Resurs Bank and Resurs Consumer Loans have provided security for the assets that form part of the securitisation. At the balance sheet date, the external financing amounted to SEK 2.0 billion (2.9) of the ABS financing.

The liquidity reserve, totalling SEK 1,860 million (1,918), is in accordance with Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority regulations on liquidity risk management (FFFS 2010:7) and applicable amendments thereto for the consolidated situation. Accordingly, assets are segregated, unutilised and of high quality. The liquidity reserve largely comprises assets with the highest credit quality rating.

In addition to the liquidity reserve, the consolidated situation has other liquid assets primarily comprised of cash balances with other banks. These assets are of high credit quality and total SEK 5,127 million (4,982) for the consolidated situation. Accordingly, total liquidity amounted to SEK 6.986 million (6,900) corresponds to 28 per cent (28 per cent) of deposits from the public. The Group also has unutilised credit facilities of NOK 50 million (50).

Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) for the consolidated situation is reported to the authorities on a monthly basis. The LCR shows the ratio between high qualitative assets and net outflow during a 30-day stressed period. A ratio of 100 per cent means the assets managed the stress test scenario and is also the authority's limit. As at 31 December 2020, the ratio for the consolidated situation is 288 per cent (264 per cent). For the period January to December 2020, the avarage LCR measures 267 per cent for the consolidated situation.

All valuations of interest-bearing securities were made at market values that take into account accrued interest.

G3. Capital adequacy - Consolidated situation

Capital requirements are calculated in accordance with European Parliament and Council Regulation EU 575/2013 (CRR) and Directive 2013/36 EU (CRD IV). The Directive was incorporated via the Swedish Capital Buffers Act (2014:966), and the Swedish and capital buffers (FFFS 2014:12). The capital requirement calculation below comprises the statutory minimum capital requirement for credit risk, credit valuation adjustment risk, market risk and operational risk.

The combined buffer requirement for the consolidated situation comprises a capital conservation buffer and a countercyclical capital buffer. The capital conservation buffer requirement amounts to 2.5 per cent of the risk-weighted assets. The countercyclical capital buffer requirement is weighted according to geographical requirements and after being lowered by the supervisory authorities in spring 2020 amounted to 0.2 per cent. Only Norwegian exposures have a buffer requirement remaining, which is currently 1.0 per cent of risk-weighted Norwegian assets.

The total risk-weighted exposure amount is multiplied by 8 per cent to obtain the minimum capital requirement for credit risk. The capital requirement for operational risk is calculated by the standardised method. Under this method, the capital requirement for operational risks is 12 per cent of the income indicator (meaning average operating income for the past three years). External rating companies are bearing securities.

Resurs Bank has applied to the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority for permission to apply the transition rules decided at EU level in December 2017. Under the transition rules, a gradual phase-in of the effect of IFRS 9 on capital adequacy is permitted, regarding both the effect of the transition from IAS 39 as at 1 January 2018 and the effect on the reporting date that exceeds the amount when IFRS 9 is first applied to stage 1 and stage 2. The phase-in period is as follows:

2018: 5 %, 2019: 10 %, 2020: 15 %, 2021: 20 %, 2022: 25 %, 2023: 25 %

The consolidated situation calculates the capital requirement for credit risk, credit valuation adjustment risk, market risk and operational risk. Credit risk is calculated by applying the standardised method under which the asset items of the consolidated situation are weighted and divided between 17 different exposure classes.

In December 2019, Resurs Holding AB issued Additional Tier 1 Capital of a nominal SEK 300 million. The notes have a perpetual tenor with a first call option after five years and a temporary write-down mechanism.

Determination of fair value of financial instruments

Level 1

Listed prices (unadjusted) on active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2

Inputs that are observable for the asset or liability other than listed prices included in Level 1, either directly (i.e., as price quotations) or indirectly (i.e., derived from price quotations).

Financial instruments measured at fair value for disclosure purposes

The carrying amount of variable rate deposits and borrowing from the public is deemed to reflect fair value.

For fixed rate deposits and borrowing from the public, fair value is calculated based on current market rates, with the initial credit spread for deposits kept constant. Fair value has been classified as level 2.

Fair value of subordinated debt is calculated based on valuation at the listing marketplace. Fair value has been classified as level 1.

Fair value of issued securities (MTN) is calculated based on the listing marketplace. Fair value has been classified as level 1.

Transfer between levels

There has not been any transfer of financial instruments between the levels.

Financial assets and liabilities that are offset or subject to netting agreements

Derivative agreement has been made under the ISDA agreement. The amounts are not offset in the statement of financial position. Most of the derivatives at 31 December 2020 were covered by the ISDA Credit Support Annex, which means that collateral is obtained and provided in the form of bank deposits between the parties.

G16. Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share, before dilution, is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to Parent Company shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

Level 3

Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (i.e., unobservable inputs).

For issued securities (ABS), fair value is calculated by assuming that duration ends at the close of the revolving period. Fair value has been classified as level 3.

The fair value of the portion of lending that has been sent to debt recovery and purchased non-performing consumer loans is calculated by discounting calculated cash flows at the estimated market interest rate instead of at the original effective interest rate. Fair value has been classified as level 2.

The carrying amount of current receivables and liabilities and variable rate loans is deemed to reflect fair value.

Assets for the derivative agreements total to SEK 113 million (111), while liabilities total SEK 4 million (25). Collateral corresponding to SEK 0 million (0) and SEK 107 million (95) was received. The net effect on loans to credit institutions total SEK 0 million (0) and liabilities to credit institutions total SEK 107 million (95).

During January - December 2020, there were a total of 200.000.000 shares with a quotient value of SEK 0.005 (0.005). There is no dilution effect as of 31 December 2020.
