Events in the quarter

SpareBank 1 SMN has recognised a gain of NOK 452m as a result of the merger between the insurance arms of Fremtind and Eika

The transaction entailed an increase in equity capital for SpareBank 1 Gruppen. The majority's (i.e. the SpareBank 1 banks' and LO Norway's) share of this increase was NOK 2.3bn. SpareBank 1 SMN's share of this increase amounted to NOK 452m which was recognised in the third quarter of 2024.

SpareBank 1 SMN owns 19.5 per cent of the shares of SpareBank 1 Gruppen, which upon completion of the transaction holds 51.44 per cent of the shares of Fremtind Holding.

Changes in organisational set-up and group management team

The group is strengthening its focus on "One SMN" and, with a view to ensuring further synergies, changes are being made to the organisational structure. After the changes the bank will have two business lines, Retail Banking and Corporate Banking, with agriculture forming part of Corporate Banking. Development efforts across the business lines are assembled in the division for "Technology and Development". A new division with responsibility for quality and operational efficiency enhancements is also being established. The organisational changes will take effect on 1 January 2025.

Executive director of the Personal Banking Division, Nelly Maske, will leave the group management team on 1 November 2024. She will be replaced by Monica Haftorn Iversen who departs her position as director of market areas in the same division. Executive director of the Sunnmøre and Fjordane Division, Stig Brautaset, will as from year-end switch to an advisory position with the group management team.

Fleks Green Fleet 01

The board of directors of Fleks filed for bankruptcy on 13 May 2024. SpareBank 1 SMN and other SpareBank 1 banks owned, through SpareBank 1 Mobilitet Holding, 47.2 per cent of the company. With a view to ensuring a controlled disposal of the business, SpareBank 1 Finans Midt-Norge took over Fleks Green Fleet 01, which was previously a subsidiary of Fleks.

In the second quarter of 2024 this company was consolidated into SpareBank 1 SMN's group accounts based on preliminary assessments of the agreements which had been entered into between the previous owners. Over the course of the third quarter 2024 new assessments were made which concluded that consolidation of this company was not correct under the provisions of IFRS 10. As from the third quarter the company is accordingly not consolidated but treated as a company under joint ownership in accordance with the equity method. Historical figures for the second quarter of 2024 are restated.

Extension of agreement with LO Norway

SpareBank 1 SMN has extended its loyalty programme agreement for the country's LO members. The agreement covers both mortgage loans and savings products, and is part of the loyalty programme LO Favør.

Macroeconomic developments

Norges Bank kept the base rate unchanged at 4.5 per cent in September. The central bank's own forecasts indicate a gradual reduction in the base rate as from the first quarter of 2025.

The 12-month rate of growth in the consumer price index (CPI) rose slightly in the quarter to 3.0 per cent at the end of the third quarter of 2024. Underlying inflation in the same period in terms of the consumer price index adjusted for changes in indirect taxes and excluding energy products (CPI-ATE), was 3.1 per cent. The wholly unemployed share of the labour force remains at a low level. In Trøndelag and in Møre and Romsdal the wholly unemployed share is 1.7 and 1.6 per cent respectively. For Norway as a whole the share is 2.0 per cent.

After a period of reduced, but positive, growth in credit to households, the 12-month rate of growth in credit to households has increased to 3.5 per cent as at August 2024. The corresponding figure for non-financial undertakings is 2.5 per cent. Norges Bank expects debt growth among households to be just below 3 per cent in 2025.

The regional indicator in Norges Bank's regional network survey continues to show improvement for Mid Norway, but remains on a slightly negative trend as at September 2024. For Region North-West the indicator is positive. The negative trend in the building and construction industry and the positive trend in segments exposed to energy production are highlighted as the main explanations for the regional differences in SpareBank 1 SMN's catchment area.

Results for the third quarter

The third quarter proved to be another creditable quarter for the group. The net profit of NOK 1,441 is driven by continued strong net interest income and recognition of the gain from the insurance merger between Fremtind and Eika. Return on equity in the quarter was 21.0 per cent. Without the one-time gain, return on equity would have been 14.4 per cent.

After a long period of interest rate hikes from the central bank, all announced rate hikes have now been implemented. Lending growth and an extra interest day made for growth in net interest income in the quarter.

Seasonal variations at SpareBank 1 Regnskapshuset SMN and EiendomsMegler 1 Midt-Norge brought lower commission income in the quarter. Commission income from the captive residential mortgage company declined as a result of lower margins on loans sold.

The result from related companies is up on the previous quarter due to recognition of the gain from the insurance merger. The underlying trend among related companies is good, and their overall profit contribution is higher than in the previous quarter and the same quarter last year.

The group's operating expenses showed a slight increase from the previous quarter. Higher personnel costs at the bank are offset by reduced costs at SpareBank 1 Regnskapshuset SMN.

Loan losses in the third quarter rose compared with the previous quarter, driven mainly by increased writedowns in stage 3.

The CET1 ratio is 18.2 per cent at quarter-end, which is well above the group's own target and

regulatory requirements.

Net interest income

Market interest rates in terms of NIBOR were stable through the quarter, with three-month NIBOR averaging 4.74 per cent. Net interest income totalled NOK 1,355m (1,226m) compared with NOK 1,310m in the second quarter.

Net interest income is up as a result of a higher average loan volume and an extra interest day compared with the previous quarter.

Net interest income and commission from the captive mortgage companies as a whole rose by NOK 37m from the second quarter of 2024, corresponding to an increase of 2.7 per cent. When adjusted for an extra interest day the increase is 1.5 per cent.

Commission income and other operating income

SpareBank 1 SMN's strategy of exploiting the breadth present in the group and expanding interaction across the respective business lines stands firm. This is done in part by co-locating multiple entities in finance centres. A high proportion of multi-product customers contributes to a capital-efficient, diversified income flow and high customer satisfaction.

Total commissions 553 680 484

Compared with the second quarter, commission income excluding the captive mortgage companies showed a reduction of NOK 121m. Income from accounting and estate agency services in particular is reduced owing to seasonal variations.

Measured against the same quarter of last year, commission income excluding mortgage companies rose by NOK 23m. The increase is driven above all by income from estate agency services. EiendomsMegler 1 Midt-Norge has increased its market share by 0.3 percentage point compared with last year, at the same time as activity levels in the housing market have picked up compared with 2023. SpareBank 1 Regnskapshuset SMN has strengthened its advisory capacity and its focus on digitalisation to good effect.

In the case of loans sold to SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt and SpareBank 1 Næringskreditt, the bank receives a commission corresponding to the loan interest less the funding and operating expenses of those companies. Commission income from SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt is down compared with the second quarter of 2024 due to higher funding costs and some decline in the lending rate.

Return on financial investments

Return on financial investments was minus NOK 22m (48m) in the third quarter.

Financial instruments, including bonds and CDs, showed a capital loss of NOK 45m (capital gain of 12m) while income from foreign exchange transactions came to NOK 24m (NOK 20m).

The bank's cost-income ratio was 33.7 per cent in the quarter (34.9 per cent). The corresponding figures for EiendomsMegler 1 and SpareBank 1 Regnskapshuset SMN were 93.6 (100.9) and 104.4 (92.2) per cent respectively.

The number of FTEs in the bank has increased compared with the second quarter, at the same time as personnel costs in the previous quarter were reduced due to holiday pay disbursements in June.

Expenses at SpareBank 1 Regnskapshuset SMN are down as a result of lower activity in the quarter. Expenses at other subsidiaries have increased.

Overall group expenses rose by NOK 69m from the third quarter of 2023, corresponding to cost growth of 9.3 per cent. Just under half of the increase refers to the subsidiaries. Good market conditions and a higher market share make for higher variable remuneration at EiendomsMegler 1 Midt-Norge. SpareBank 1 Regnskapshuset SMN's expense growth is driven by the strengthening of advisory competencies, digitalisation and acquisitions.

The bank's expenses have risen by NOK 38m compared with the same quarter of 2023. The bank's expense growth measured against last year is down to investments in technology development, competence and growth initiatives in selected geographical locations through 2023 – alongside general price and wage growth.

The loan portfolio is largely secured by residential property. Lending to personal customers consistently carries low risk, as reflected in continued low losses.

The Retail Banking Division prioritises balanced growth. A focus on deposits in advisory services to customers enables the bank to deliver robust earnings and heightens customers' financial security in the form of increased buffer capital.

The distribution model is enhanced by co-location of multiple entities in finance centres and a transition from personal advisers to customer teams. Increased use of data and insights enables a closer interplay between the physical and digital advisory channels, providing customers with improved and more efficient advice.

Eiendomsmegler 1 Midt-Norge is the market leader in Trøndelag and in Møre and Romsdal. A pre-tax profit of NOK 8m (minus 1m) was recorded in the third quarter.

Continued high activity is noted for EiendomsMegler 1 Midt-Norge, which sold 150 more residential properties than in the same quarter last year. This, combined with good cost control, makes for increased profitability compared with last year.

High availability of unsold properties in the market leads to a somewhat longer sale period and to more properties being sold below the asking price.

1,781 properties were sold in the third quarter (1,631), and new assignments totalled 1,986 (1,939). The company's market share at 30 September was 37.3 per cent, up from 37.0 per cent in the same period last year.

Corporate Banking

The Corporate Banking Division achieved a pre-tax profit of NOK 497m (452m). Return on capital employed was 26.4 per cent (24.3 per cent) in the quarter.

The Corporate Banking Division's loan volume increased by 4.6 per cent in the quarter. Growth in the quarter is distributed across a number of segments including commercial property, fishery, aquaculture and manufacturing. The deposit volume was reduced by 0.8 per cent. In the first quarter the corresponding figures were 1.6 and 6.3 per cent respectively.

The credit quality of the loan portfolio is good. The bankruptcy rate in the region has risen, but so far with limited impact on the loan portfolio.

A strengthened input of resources in Trondheim and increased coordination with SpareBank 1 Regnskapshuset SMN contribute to Corporate Banking's acquisition of market shares in Mid Norway. The establishment of a presence in Oslo has boosted lending growth, primarily in the commercial property segment.

SpareBank 1 Regnskapshuset SMN is the market leader in Trøndelag and in Møre and Romsdal. The company posted a pre-tax profit of NOK 7m (11m).

A positive trend in operating income is noted with a 6.9 per cent increase from the third quarter of 2023. Income from advisory services shows a 25 per cent increase, reflecting the development seen by the company. The third quarter has brought slower activity due to seasonal variations.

At the same time costs are heavily impacted by acquisitions and major change initiatives which are expected to yield positive returns in the longer term. Substantial resources have been expended on new technology in the form of new cloud-based solutions, in combination with the development of advisory competencies for the future. The transition to a new price model in the form of subscription solutions gives the customer more predictability while providing more stable earnings for the company.

The development initiatives have spurred a good customer growth rate and reinforced customer loyalty. The company's market share has risen from 15 to 16 per cent over the last 12 months.

SpareBank 1 Finans Midt-Norge's focal areas are leasing, vendor's liens, inventory financing and invoice purchasing services to businesses, and vendor's liens to personal customers. SpareBank 1 Finans Midt-Norge posted a pre-tax profit of NOK 68m (4m).

SpareBank 1 Finans Midt-Norge has stable earnings owing to stable borrowing costs and no central interest rate changes in the quarter. As from 1 October, sales via SpareBank 1 Sørøst-Norge will no longer form part of SpareBank 1 Finans Midt-Norge. As already mentioned, Fleks Green Fleet 01 AS is not consolidated from and including the third quarter, and historical figures have been restated.

In the first quarter of 2024 SpareBank 1 Finans Midt-Norge and SpareBanken Møre initiated a collaboration on the distribution of vendor's liens and leasing to retail customers. The collaboration between SpareBank 1 Finans Midt-Norge and Sparebanken Møre has proven highly successful, with substantial volume growth in the quarter. SpareBank 1 Finans Midt-Norge has a market share of about 10 per cent in vendor's liens in the counties where parent banks are represented.

SpareBank 1 SMN Invest

This company owns shares and units in regional growth companies and funds. The portfolio is managed together with other long-term shareholdings of the bank and will be scaled down over time. The company's securities portfolio is worth NOK 564m (485m) as at 30 September 2024.

The company's pre-tax profit in the third quarter of 2024 was minus NOK 12m (37m). The result is due to a negative development in the value of the securities portfolio.

First nine months of 2024

SpareBank 1 SMN posted a net profit NOK 3,540m (2,441m), and a return on equity of 17.4 per cent (13.0 per cent) in the first nine months of 2024. Earnings per equity certificate (EC) were NOK 15.57 (11.14).

Net interest income came to NOK 4,001m (3,386m). Norges Bank raised its base rate to 4.50 per cent in December 2023, and has kept it unchanged through 2024. The central bank's rate hikes have increased the bank's funding costs at the same time as return on the bank's equity has risen. In the first half of 2024, margins on the bank's loans and deposits have reflected interest rate changes made in response to base rate changes in the fourth quarter of 2023. The margin picture has stabilised in the third quarter.

Net commission and other income was NOK 1,812m (1,586m). Income from accounting and estate agency services has risen by NOK 64m and 59m respectively measured against the first nine months of 2023. A higher transfer volume to the captive residential mortgage company SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt and higher margins on the appurtenant mortgages have raised commission from this mortgage company by NOK 71m thus far in the current year.

The net result from ownership interests was NOK 1,027m (207m). The increased profit from ownership interests is mainly attributable to the recognition of NOK 452m related to the merger between Fremtind and Eika Forsikring and to strong profit contributions from BN Bank and the reclassification of SpareBank 1 Markets as a related company. The net result from financial instruments and dividends climbed from minus NOK 47m to NOK 47m so far this year.

The group's expenses were NOK 2,399m (2,152m) thus far in 2024. The expenses picture in 2023 was impacted by merger costs and expensing of the embezzlement affair. So far this year expenses have risen as a result of initiatives and investments made through 2023, but the insurance settlement in connection with the embezzlement affair reduces expenses by NOK 30m.

Losses on loans and guarantees were NOK 146m so far this year (net recovery of NOK 6m). Losses on loans to the group's corporate customers came to NOK 109m (net recovery of NOK 22m) in the year's first nine months. Corresponding figures for retail customers are NOK 37m (16m), driven primarily by the bank's agriculture portfolio.

Lending growth in the group was 5.5 per cent (12.2 per cent) in the last 12 months. Growth in lending to the bank's retail segment was 4.3 per cent (13.8 per cent) in the last 12 months. Lending to the bank's corporate customers rose 9.0 per cent (8.8 per cent) in the same period.

Deposits were reduced by 0.1 per cent (increase of 14.7 per cent) in the last 12 months. Deposits from personal customers increased by 7.3 per cent (17.3 per cent). Deposits from corporate customers were reduced by 2.8 per cent (increase of 11.8 per cent).

Balance sheet, financing and liquidity

Total assets of NOK 246bn

The bank's total assets as at the third quarter of 2024 were NOK 246.0bn (243.5bn), having increased by NOK 2.5bn, corresponding to 1.0 per cent, over the last 12 months.

As at 30 September 2024 loans totalling NOK 68bn (65bn) had been sold from SpareBank 1 SMN to the captive mortgage companies SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt and SpareBank 1 Næringskreditt. These loans do not figure as loans in the bank's balance sheet. The comments covering lending growth take into account loans sold to the two mortgage companies.

Loans

Total outstanding loans rose in the last 12 months by NOK 12.8bn, corresponding to 5.5 per cent, and amounted to NOK 247.1bn (234.3bn) at the end of the third quarter. Lending growth in the quarter was 2.2 per cent.

Lending to the bank's retail customers increased by NOK 2.2bn in the quarter (2.6bn). This corresponds to a lending growth of 1.3 per cent (1.6 per cent). Lending growth in the last 12 months was 4.3 per cent (13.8 per cent). Total lending to the bank's retail customers came to NOK 172.6bn (165.5bn) at the end of the third quarter of 2024. Last year's total reflects the merger with the former SpareBank 1 Søre Sunnmøre.

Lending to the bank's corporate segment rose by NOK 2.7bn in the quarter (minus 0.5bn), corresponding to 4.6 per cent (minus 0.8 per cent). Growth in lending in the quarter is broad based with growth noted in commercial property, fishery, aquaculture and manufacturing. Growth in the last 12 months was 9.0 per cent (8.8 per cent). Overall lending to the bank's corporate customers came to NOK 61.7bn (56.6bn) as at 30 September 2024. Last year's total reflects the merger with the former SpareBank 1 Søre Sunnmøre.

SpareBank 1 Finans' gross loan volume was NOK 13.2bn (12.7bn) at the end of the third quarter of 2024. This corresponds to a growth of 4.4 per cent in the last 12 months.

(Distributed by sector – see note 5).

Deposits

Customer deposits totalled NOK 138.0bn (138.2bn) at the end of the third quarter 2024. Deposit growth in the quarter was minus 1.2 per cent.

Personal deposits were reduced by NOK 0.6bn in the quarter (minus 0.5bn), corresponding to deposit growth of minus 0.9 per cent (minus 0.8 per cent). Deposit growth in the last 12 months was 7.3 per cent (17.3 per cent). Total deposits from personal customers came to NOK 68.6bn (56.6bn) at the end of the quarter.

Deposits from the bank's corporate segment were reduced by NOK 0.5bn in the quarter (reduction of 2.2 bn), corresponding to a growth of minus 0.8 per cent (minus 3 per cent). Deposit growth in the last 12

months was minus 2.8 per cent (11.8 per cent). The decline noted in the last 12 months is attributable to growing competition for public sector deposits. Total deposits from the bank's corporate segment were NOK 68.0bn (70.0bn) as at 30 September 2024.

(Distributed by sector – see note 9).

Funding and liquidity

SpareBank 1 SMN has good liquidity and good access to funding. The bank follows a conservative liquidity strategy, with liquidity reserves that ensure the bank's survival for 12 months of ordinary operation without need of fresh external funding.

The bank is required to maintain sufficient liquidity buffers to withstand periods of limited access to market funding. The liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) measures the size of banks' liquid assets relative to net liquidity outflow 30 days ahead given a stressed situation. The LCR was calculated at 172 per cent (173 per cent) as at 30 September 2024.

The group's deposit-to-loan ratio, including SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt and SpareBank 1 Næringskreditt, was 56 per cent (59 per cent) at 30 September 2024.

The bank's funding sources and products are amply diversified between various funding sources and products. The share of the bank's overall money market funding with a maturity above one year was 93 per cent (90 per cent) at the end of the third quarter.

SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt and Næringskreditt are important funding sources for the bank, and loans totalling NOK 68bn (65bn) had been sold to these captive mortgage companies as of 30 September 2024.

In the third quarter SpareBank 1 SMN issued EUR 700m in senior non-preferred debt (SNP), NOK 400m in subordinated debt and NOK 450m in hybrid securities. At the end of the quarter SpareBank 1 SMN held NOK 13.2bn in SNP debt instruments. SNP debt measured 36.6 per cent as at 30 September 2024, and SpareBank 1 SMN meets the MREL requirements by an ample margin.

The bank has a rating of Aa3 (stable outlook) with Moody's.

Financial soundness

The CET1 ratio at 30 September 2024 was 18.2 per cent (19.7 per cent) compared with 18.5 per cent as at 30 June 2024. In line with regulatory requirements, the calculation assumes that 27 per cent of the year's earnings is recognised in retained capital. Given 50 per cent retained profit in 2024, the CET1 ratio would have been 18.9 per cent.

The reduction in the CET1 ratio from the previous quarter is attributable to lending growth, an increase in expected losses and increased deduction of goodwill in CET1 capital as a result of the Fremtind transaction.

SpareBank 1 SMN received a new Pillar 2 requirement in the fourth quarter of 2023. The requirement was reduced to 1.7 percentage point and must be met with a minimum of 56.25 per cent CET1 capital. In view of this change the group's long-term CET1 target is revised to 16.3 per cent, including Pillar 2 guidance. The bank is subject to a provisional add-on of 0.7 per cent to its Pillar 2 requirement until its application for adjustment of IRB models has been processed. The provisional add-on of 0.7 per cent is not included in the bank's long-term capital target.

A leverage ratio of 6.9 per cent (7.3 per cent) shows the bank to be very solid. See note 4 for details.

The bank's equity certificate (MING)

The book value per equity certificate (EC) at 30 September 2024 was NOK 124.05 (116.39) and earnings per equity certificate in the third quarter of 2024 were NOK 6.42 (3.28).

The Price / Income ratio in the third quarter was 5.97 (10.47) and the Price / Book ratio was 1.24 (1.18) as at 30 September 2024.

At the end of the third quarter of 2024, holders of the bank's equity certificates number 18,346. 27 per cent of the bank's ECs are held by foreign investors. 28 per cent of the ECs are held by investors in Mid Norway.

Sustainability

Work on adapting the business to the requirements of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) continues. Drawing up the group's transition plan for the shift to a low-emissions society is an important aspect of this work. The process needs to maintain a balance between a structured realignment and the group's goal of sustainable growth and profitability.

An important part of the transition plan is to establish science-based climate goals at industry level. In the third quarter the main focus has been on revising the transition plan for agriculture. Further, SpareBank 1 SMN has participated in joint projects within the SpareBank 1 Alliance to develop a framework for sustainable financing, quality assurance of requirements and criteria for transition financing along with competency development for employees.

Outlook

SpareBank 1 SMN posted a solid performance in the third quarter featuring strong underling profitability and financial soundness. Continued strong net interest income and good contributions from related companies are noted. SpareBank 1 SMN's ambition to expand market shares stands firm, and will be realised through initiatives taken in selected geographical locations and industries.

Norges Bank kept the base rate unchanged at 4.50 per cent in September and reiterated its signal that the earliest base rate reduction would be some time in coming, probably next year. SpareBank 1 SMN has raised lending rates and deposit rates in step with Norges Bank's rate hikes in recent years, and the changes have had full effect as from the second quarter of 2024.

The group saw strong expense growth through 2023 due to one-time effects and investments in technology development, growth initiatives and competencies. In 2024 the cost trend in the group is in particular focus, and the group's expense growth will be normalised.

The risk picture in SpareBank 1 SMN's loan portfolio is satisfactory, although losses on loans and guarantees rose in the quarter. The credit quality of the bank's loan portfolio is considered to be good and the group's liquidity and capital position is strong. At the end of the third quarter the group had a CET1 ratio of 18.2 per cent and is thus well positioned to fulfil its growth aspirations.

SpareBank 1 SMN aspires to be among the best-performing financial institutions in the Nordic region, and the group's overriding financial goal is to deliver a return on equity of at least 13 per cent over time. The board of directors is pleased with results achieved thus far in 2024 and expects 2024 to be a good year for the group.

Note 1 - Accounting principles

Accounting principles

SpareBank 1 SMN prepares and presents its quarterly accounts in compliance with the Stock Exchange Regulations, Stock Exchange Rules and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) approved by EU, including IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The quarterly accounts do not include all the information required in a complete set of annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual accounts for 2023. The Group has in this quarterly report used the same accounting principles and calculation methods as in the latest annual report and accounts.

Note 2 - Critical estimates and assessment concerning the use of accounting principles

When it prepares the consolidated accounts the management team makes estimates, discretionary assessments and assumptions which influence the application of accounting principles. This accordingly affects recognised amounts for assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Last year's annual accounts give a closer explanation of significant estimates and assumptions in Note 3 Critical estimates and assessments concerning the use of accounting principles.

Pensions

Sparebank 1 SMN Group has one pension arrangement; defined contribution plan. For a further description of the pension scheme, see note 22 in the 2023 annual report.

The group's pension liabilities are accounted for under IAS 19R. Estimate variances are therefore directly reflected in equity capital and are presented under other comprehensive income.

It was decided to terminate the defined benefit scheme at a board meeting on 21 October 2016. Employees on this scheme transferred to the defined contribution scheme from 1 January 2017, and received a paid-up policy showing rights accumulated under the defined benefit scheme. Paid-up policies are managed by the pension fund, which has been a paid-up pension fund as from 1 January 2017. A framework agreement has been established between SpareBank 1 SMN and the pension fund which covers funding, asset management etc. In view of the responsibility still held by SpareBank 1 SMN, future liabilities will need to be incorporated in the accounts. The board of the pension fund is required to be composed of representatives from the Group and participants in the pension schemes in accordance with the articles of association of the pension fund.

A new calculation of the Group's pension liabilities has not been carried out as per 30 September 2024.

Investment held for sale

SpareBank 1 SMN's strategy is that ownership duse to defaulted exposures should at the outset be of brief duration, normally not longer than one year. Investments are recorded at fair value in the Parent Bank's accounts, and is classified as investment held for sale.

Losses on loans and guarantees

For a detailed description of the Bank's model for expected credit losses, refer to note 10 in the annual accounts for 2023.

Measurement of expected credit loss for each stage requires both information on events and current conditions and information on expected events and future economic conditions. Estimation and use of forward-looking information requires a high degree of discretionary judgement. Each macroeconomic scenario that is utilised includes a projection for a five-year period. For credits where credit risk is assessed to have increased significantly since loan approval (stage 2), loss estimates for the period after year 5 are based on year 5 as regards level of PD and LGD.

Our estimate of expected credit loss at stage 1 and 2 is a probability-weighted average of three scenarios: Base Case, Best Case and Worst Case. The model that computes model write-downs is based on two macro variables – interest rate level (three-month NIBOR) and unemployment (Statistics Norway's Labour Force Survey, AKU). The assumptions in the baseline scenario are based on the assumptions in Norges Bank's Monetary Policy Report 3/24. Updated macro assumptions this quarter have had little effect on the level of write-downs. The downside scenario features high interest rates and high unemployment, which are largely based on Finanstilsynet's stress test reported in Financial Outlook, June 2023. The upside scenario features low interest rates and low unemployment.

Calculation of the group's overall model write-downs is based on calculations of expected credit loss (ECL) for each of five portfolios below. For each portfolio, separate assumptions are defined with regard to how the macro variables 'interest rate' and 'unemployment' impact PD and LGD. The relationships between the macro variables are developed using of regression analysis and simulation, while the relationships between the macro variables and LGD are based largely on expert assessments and discretionary judgement. The five portfolios are:

  • Residential mortgages
  • Other retail loans
  • Agriculture
  • Industries with large balance sheets / high long-term debt ratios (real estate, shipping, offshore, aquaculture, fishery)
  • Industries with smaller balance sheets / low long-term debt ratios (other industries)

The criteria for classification in stage 2 ("significantly increased credit risk since approval") have not been changed in the quarter. The customers in building and construction industry (including industries closely linked to the building and construction sector) and some fishery segments are generally considered to have acquired significantly increased credit risk since loan approval and customers in this industry are accordingly classified to stage 2 or 3.

ECL as at 30 September 2024 is calculated as a combination of 80 per cent expected scenario, 10 per cent downside scenario and 10 per cent upside scenario (80/10/10 pct).

The effect of the change of assumptions in 2024 is shown in the line "Effect of changed assumptions in the ECL model" in note 7. The model write-downs are reduced both for for the retail and the corporate portfolio due to the recalibration of the calculation model. Overall, for the first nine months this amounts to NOK 36 m for the bank and NOK 57 m for the group in terms of reduced write-downs.

Sensitivity

The first part of the table below show total calculated expected credit loss as of 30 September 2024 in each of the three scenarios, distributed in the portfolios Retail Market, Corporate Market and agriculture, which adds up to parent bank. In addition the subsidiary SpareBank 1 Finans Midt-Norge is included. ECL for the parent bank and the subsidiary is summed up in the coloumn "Group".

The second part of the table show the ECL distributed by portfolio using the scenario weight applied, in addition to a alternative weighting where downside scenaro weight has been doubled.

If the downside scenario's probability were doubled at the expense of the baseline scenario at the end of September 2024, this would have entailed an increase in loss provisions of NOK 140 million for the parent bank and NOK 163 million for the group.

Total ECL used 98 19 23 140 19 7 163

The table reflects that there are some significant differences in underlying PD and LGD estimates in the different scenarios and that there are differentiated levels and level differences between the portfolios. At group level, the ECL in the upside scenario, which largely reflects the loss and default picture in recent years, is about 60 per cent of the ECL in the expected scenario. The downside scenario gives over double the ECL than in the expected scenario. Applied scenario weighting gives about 16 percent higher ECL than in the expected scenario.

Car subscription company Fleks

The board of directors of Fleks filed for bankruptcy on 13 May 2024. SpareBank 1 SMN and other SpareBank 1 banks owned, through SpareBank 1 Mobilitet Holding, 47.2 per cent of the company. With a view to ensuring a controlled disposal of the business, SpareBank 1 Finans Midt-Norge took over Fleks Green Fleet 01, which was previously a subsidiary of Fleks.

In the second quarter of 2024 this company was consolidated into SpareBank 1 SMN's group accounts based on preliminary assessments of the agreements which had been entered into between the previous owners. Over the course of the third quarter 2024 new assessments were made which concluded that consolidation of this company was not correct under the provisions of IFRS 10. As from the third quarter the company is accordingly not consolidated but treated as a company under joint control in accordance with the equity method. Historical figures for the second quarter of 2024 are restated.

Note 4 - Capital adequacy

Capital adequacy is calculated and reported in accordance with the EU capital requirements regulations for banks and investment firms (CRR/CRD IV). SpareBank 1 SMN utilises the Internal Rating Based Approach (IRB) for credit risk. Advanced IRB Apporoach is used for the corporate portfolios. Use of IRB imposes wide-ranging requirements on the bank's organisational set-up, competence, risk models and risk management systems.

As of 30 September 2024 the overall minimum requirement on CET1 capital is 14.0 per cent. The capital conservation buffer requirement is 2.5 per cent, the systemic risk requirement for Norwegian IRB-banks is 4.5 per cent and the Norwegian countercyclical buffer is 2.5 per cent. These requirements are additional to the requirement of 4.5 per cent CET1 capital. In addition the financial supervisory authority has set a Pillar 2 requirement for SpareBank 1 SMN. From 31 December 2023, the requirement is 1.7 per cent and must be met with a minimum of 56.25 per cent. In addition the bank must have an additional 0.7 per cent in Pillar 2 requirements until the application for adjusting IRB-models has been processed.

Under the CRR/CRDIV regulations the average risk weighting of exposures secured on residential property in Norway cannot be lower than 20 per cent. As of 30 September 2024, the average risk weights are over 20 per cent for the group.

The systemic risk buffer stands at 4.5 per cent for the Norwegian exposures. For exposures in other countries, the particular country's systemic buffer rate shall be employed. As of 30 September 2024 the effective rate for the group is 4.44 per cent.

The countercyclical buffer is calculated using differentiated rates. For exposures in other countries the countercyclical buffer rate set by the authorities in the country concerned is applied. If that country has not set a rate, the same rate as for exposures in Norway is applied unless the Ministry of Finance sets another rate. As of 30 September 2024 both the parent bank and the group is below the capital deduction threshold such that the Norwegian rate is applied to all relevant exposures.

Note 17 - Measurement of fair value of financial instruments

Financial instruments at fair value are classified at various levels.

Level 1: Valuation based on quoted prices in an active market

Fair value of financial instruments that are traded in the active markets is based on market price on the balance sheet date. A market is considered active if market prices are easily and regularly available from a stock exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, price-setting service or regulatory authority, and these prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions at an arm's length. This category also includes quoted shares and Treasury bills.

Level 2: Valuation based on observable market data

Level 2 consists of instruments that are valued by the use of information that does not consist in quoted prices, but where the prices are directly or indirectly observable for the assets or liabilities concerned, and which also include quoted prices in non-active markets.

Level 3: Valuation based on other than observable data

If valuation data are not available for level 1 and 2, valuation methods are applied that are based on non-observable information.

Valuation method

The valuation method applied is adapted to each financial instrument, and is intended to utilise as much of the information that is available in the market as possible.

The method for valuation of financial instruments in level 2 and 3 is described in the following:

Fixed interest loans to customers (level 3)

The loans consist for the most part of fixed interest loans denominated in Norwegian kroner. The value of the fixed interest loans is determined such that agreed interest flows are discounted over the term of the loan by a discount factor that is adjusted for margin requirements. The discount factor is raised by 10 points when calculating sensitivity.

Loans at fair value through other comprehensive income (level 3)

Property Loans at floating interest classified at fair value over other comprehensive income is valued based on nominal amount reduced by expected credit loss. Loans with no significant credit risk detoriation since first recognition is assessed at nominal amount. For loans with a significant increase in credit risk since first recognition or objective evidence of loss, the calculation of expected credit losses over the life of the asset is in line with loan losses for loans at amortised cost. Estimated fair value is the nominal amount reduced by expected lifetime credit loss. If the likelihood of the worst case scenario in the model is doubled, fair value is reduced by NOK 2 million.

Short-term paper and bonds (level 2 and 3)

Valuation on level 2 is based for the most part on observable market information in the form of interest rate curves, exchange rates and credit margins for the individual credit and the bond's or certificate's characteristics. For paper valued under level 3 the valuation is based on indicative prices from a third party or comparable paper.

Equity instruments (level 3)

Shares that are classified to level 3 include essentially investments in unquoted shares. Among other a total of NOK 564 million in Private Equity investments, property funds, hedge funds and unquoted shares through the company SpareBank SMN 1 Invest. The valuations are in all essentials based on reporting from managers of the funds who utilise cash flow based models or multiples when determining fair value. The Group does not have full access to information on all the elements in these valuations and is therefore unable to determine alternative assumptions.

Financial derivatives (level 2)

Financial derivatives at level 2 include for the most part currency futures and interest rate and exchange rate swaps. Valuation is based on observable interest rate curves. In addition the item includes derivatives related to FRAs. These are valued with a basis in observable prices in the market. Derivatives classified to level 2 also include equity derivatives related to SpareBank 1 Markets' market-making activities. The bulk of these derivatives refer to the most sold shares on Oslo Børs, and the valuation is based on the price of the actual /underlying share and observable or calculated volatility.

Sensitivity analyses, level 3 as at 30 September 2024:

assumtions
Fixed interest loans 9,230 -24
Equity instruments through profit/loss* 661 -
Loans at fair value through other comprehensive income 93,495 -2

* As described above, the information to perform alternative calculations are not available

Note 18 - Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the group will be unable to refinance its debt or to finance asset increases. Liquidity risk management starts out from the group's overall liquidity strategy which is reviewed and adopted by the board of directors at least once each year. The liquidity strategy reflects the group's moderate risk profile.

The group reduces its liquidity risk through guidelines and limits designed to achieve a diversified balance sheet, both on the asset and liability side. Preparedness plans have been drawn up both for the group and the SpareBank 1 Alliance to handle the liquidity situation in periods of turbulent capital markets. The bank's liquidity situation is stress tested on a monthly basis using various maturities and crisis scenarios: bank-specific, for the financial market in general or a combination of internal and external factors. The group's objective is to survive twelve months of ordinary operations without access to fresh external funding while housing prices fall 30 per cent. In the same period minimum requirements to LCR shall be fulfilled.

The average residual maturity on debt created by issue of securities at the end of the third quarter 2024 was 3.1 years. The overall LCR at the same point was 172 per cent and the average overall LCR in the third quarter was 174 per cent. The LCR in Norwegian kroner and euro at quarter-end was 168 and 250 per cent respectively.

Note 19 - Earnings per EC

ECC owners share of profit have been calculated based on net profit allocated in accordance to the average number of certificates outstanding in the period. There is no option agreements in relation to the Equity Capital Certificates, diluted net profit is therefore equivalent to Net profit per ECC.

Dividend policy

SpareBank 1 SMN aims to manage the Group's resources in such a way as to provide equity certificate holders with a good, stable and competitive return in the form of dividend and a rising value of the bank's equity certificate.

The net profit for the year will be distributed between the owner capital (the equity certificate holders) and the ownerless capital in accordance with their respective shares of the bank's total equity capital.

SpareBank 1 SMN's intention is that about one half of the owner capital's share of the net profit for the year should be disbursed in dividends and, similarly, that about one half of the owner capital's share of the net profit for the year should be disbursed as gifts or transferred to a foundation. This is on the assumption that capital adequacy is at a satisfactory level. When determining dividend payout, account will be taken of the profit trend expected in a normalised market situation, external framework conditions and the need for tier 1 capital.

Report on Review of Interim Financial Information

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of SpareBank 1 SMN as at 30 September 2024, and the related consolidated income statement, the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the cash flow statement for the nine-month period then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. Management is responsible for the preparation of this interim financial information that gives a true and fair view in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. 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 consolidated interim financial information does not, in all material respects, give a true and fair view of the financial position of the entity as at 30 September 2024, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the nine-month period then ended in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
