Outlook for the region and the bank

  • Given the current situation, the overall output and demand in Møre og Romsdal will probably decline this year. This is due to the government's activity reducing measures aimed at countering the coronavirus, as well as the sharp fall in oil prices
  • The depreciation of the Norwegian krone will be positive for exports and import-competitive activities, while it entails higher costs and reduced profitability for companies with a high import share. However, a significant part of the business sector could get back to normal once the strictest infection control measures have been lifted. In this case, activity will pick up in the second half of the year and during 2021
  • Some industries will probably still be affected for a longer period. Examples of this are tourism with associated activities, trade and service industries, as well as the maritime industry. A sustained low oil price level will have a negative impact on businesses and industries in our region, Nordvestlandet
  • The decline in activity levels has led to a strong increase in the number of layoffs. At the end of March, unemployment in Møre og Romsdal accounted for 10.0 per cent of the workforce. In comparison, the unemployment rate in the country as a whole was 10.7 percent. However, much of the rise in unemployment will probably be of a short-term nature
  • The bank has a solid capital base and good liquidity and will continue to be a strong and committed supporter for our customers through the corona crisis. The focus is always to have good operations and profitability
  • The bank's strategic objective is a ROE above 11 per cent. Given the duration and the consequences that the authorities' activity-reducing measures against the coronavirus now seem to have, it is unlikely that the bank's strategic objectives will be achieved in 2020

Covid-19: We take the situation very seriously

  • Infection protection measures were quickly implemented
  • The bank has had few employees in quarantine / isolation
  • Sickness absence is low and stable

Health Operational

  • The offices closed for customers on March 13. The bank is still fully operational
  • Many work from home office
  • Departments that must be physically present in the office have been distributed in different locations
  • We have new and upgraded technical equipment and secure technological solutions
  • We have full focus on close follow-up and good advice to our customers - both one by one, but also through useful information in digital channels and newsletters

The bank is well equipped for the new market situation

Strong solidity and liquidity

Proximity to both customers and market area

Strong consulting and industry expertise

Adaptable organization

Short decision paths

New and upgraded equipment and good technological solutions

Close follow-up of our customers

More than 200 advisors are close- and available to customers

  • Financial advice
  • Installment Postponements
  • Interest rate reductions
  • Temporary credits and loans
  • Advising on Government measures

Support schemes for sports and voluntary organizations

  • Support already granted for an event that is now canceled due to corona will not be withdrawn
  • It is possible to apply for support to cover accrued costs related to the event canceled due to corona
  • It is also possible for others to seek support for specific relief measures
  • We will use our expertise to contribute to activity, joy and well -being in the future

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
