Outlook for the region and the bank

  • Key economic figures indicate that production and demand in Møre og Romsdal rose in 2Q 2020. This was due to the easing of the infection control measures. In addition, expansionary fiscal policy, lower interest rates and a weak NOK exchange rate contributed positively. Unemployment fell sharply. At the end of June, unemployment in the county was 4.1 per cent of the labor force, while national unemployment was 4.8 per cent. If there are no new periods of activity-reducing measures to prevent the spread of infection, unemployment may fall further towards the turn of the year
  • In the future, however, several industries are facing prospects of declining sales. Among other things, this applies to the tourism industry and the maritime industry. In addition, oilrelated industries will be adversely affected by the prospect of a sharp decline in petroleum investments over the next couple of years. Therefore, even though production growth is on the rise, unemployment in the county and in the country as a whole is likely to remain higher in the long run than it was before the corona pandemic
  • The bank has a solid capital base and good liquidity and will continue to be a strong and committed supporter for our customers. The focus is always on having good operations and profitability
  • Sparebanken Møre has a goal of cost-effective operation where the cost to income ratio should be below 40 per cent. The bank's strategic objective is a ROE above 11 per cent. Given the duration and consequences that the authorities' contagion measures against the coronavirus have had - and are expected to have in the future, combined with weaker net interest income as a result of established new market practices for changing lending and deposit rates, the bank's target for ROE is unlikely to be reached in 2020

Financial targets remain unchanged

Sparebanken Møre's long term targets of a return on equity above 11 per cent and a cost income ratio below 40 per cent remain unchanged.

The duration and consequences of the government's activity reducing measures aimed at countering the coronavirus are expected to have a significant effect on the level of activity in the remainder of the year. This, combined with weaker net interest income due in part to market practices regarding changes to lending and deposit rates in spring 2020, means that it is unlikely that the Bank's strategic target for the return on equity will be achieved in 2020.

The Bank expects, however, to achieve it's targets in 2021.

Low, albeit somewhat higher losses compared to 1H 2019.

Total impairments increased from NOK 375 million at the end of 2019 to NOK 446 million at the end of the quarter.

Predicting the consequences of the corona situation is challenging, but we have a solid portfolio and closely follow our commitments.

In spite of the macroeconomic condition improving and low problem loans, the Covid-19 situation and consequences of the fall in oil prices still reigns. Changes in these conditions could impact the Group`s losses.

About equity certificates

  • Equity certificates are a special kind of equity instrument first introduced by savings banks in 1988. A total of 32 banks have now issued such certificates, and 19 of them are listed on the stock exchange
  • Equity certificates are an important part of savings banks' capital base and confer ownership of between 14 % and 97 % of the individual bank
  • A savings bank that has issued equity certificates has two types of equity. One is its primary capital, or "ownerless" equity, consisting of retained earnings built up by the bank over the years. The other is the certificate-holders' equity, consisting of equity certificate capital and related reserves (equalization reserve and premium account)
  • Equity certificates have clear similarities to shares. The main difference is the owners' rights to the bank's assets and influence over the bank's governing bodies. The key principle is that profits are distributed proportionally on the basis of ownership share and the bank's other capital
  • In a limited company, losses hit shareholders' equity directly. In a savings bank, losses are first absorbed by the primary capital and the equalization reserve before hitting the equity certificate capital Source: The Norwegian Savings Bank Associationhttps://www.sparebankforeningen.no/en/egenkapitalbevis/about-equity-certificates/
