RESULTS AS PER Q3 2021

Sparebanken Møre's profit before tax for the first three quarters of 2021 was NOK 632 million, compared with NOK 540 million for the same period in 2020.

Total income was NOK 27 million higher than for the same period in 2020. Net interest income rose by NOK 18 million and other operating income increased by NOK 9 million. No changes were recognised in the value of bond holdings as per 30 September 2021, compared with capital losses of NOK 6 million after the first three quarters of 2020. Capital gains on equities totalled NOK 11 million, compared with NOK 6 million at the end of the third quarter of 2020. Income from other financial instruments showed a reduction of NOK 8 million compared with the same period in 2020.

Costs were NOK 5 million higher in the first three quarters of 2021 than in 2020. Personnel costs were NOK 6 million higher than last year, while other operating costs showed a reduction of NOK 1 million in the same period.

Losses on loans and guarantees amounted to NOK 44 million and were NOK 70 million lower than in the same period last year.

The cost income ratio amounted to 41.4 per cent after the third quarter this year. This represents a decrease of 0.6 percentage points compared with the same period in 2020.

Profit after tax was NOK 489 million, NOK 69 million higher than for the same period in 2020. The results at the end of the third quarter show an annualised return on equity of 9.8 per cent, compared with 8.6 per cent after the first three quarters of 2020.

Earnings per equity certificate were NOK 23.71 (NOK 20.00) for the Group and NOK 25.99 (NOK 22.95) for the parent bank.

RESULTS FOR Q3 2021

Profit after tax was NOK 176 million for the third quarter of 2021, or 0.86 per cent of average total assets, compared with NOK 153 million, or 0.78 per cent, for the corresponding quarter last year.

Return on equity was 10.5 per cent in the third quarter of 2021, compared with 9.4 per cent in the third quarter of 2020, and the cost income ratio was 40.9 per cent compared with 39.0 per cent in the third quarter of 2020.

Earnings per equity certificate were NOK 8.60 (NOK 7.38) for the Group and NOK 5.00 (NOK 3.72) for the parent bank.

Net interest income

Net interest income was NOK 320 million, which is NOK 14 million, or 4.6 per cent, higher than in the corresponding quarter of last year. This represents 1.58 per cent of total assets, which is 0.04 percentage points higher than for the third quarter of 2020.

In the retail market, the interest margin for lending contracted and the deposit margin increased compared

with both the second quarter of 2021 and the third quarter of 2020. In the corporate market, the interest margin for lending was stable, while the interest margin for deposits increased compared with the same periods.

Strong competition in both lending and deposits, contributed to downward pressure on net interest income, while higher lending and deposit volumes resulted in an increase in net interest income.

Other operating income

Other operating income was NOK 71 million in the quarter, which is NOK 6 million lower than in the third quarter of last year. The net income from financial instruments of NOK 13 million was NOK 11 million lower than in the third quarter of 2020. Capital losses from bond holdings were NOK 3 million in the quarter, compared with capital gains of NOK 7 million in the corresponding quarter last year. Capital losses on equities totalled NOK 1 million, compared with gains of NOK 1 million in the third quarter of 2020. The positive change in value for fixed-rate lending amounted NOK 3 million, compared with NOK 1 million in the same quarter last year. The value of issued bonds increased by NOK 5 million, compared with a negative change in value of NOK 6 million in the third quarter of 2020. Income from currency and interest rate trading increased by NOK 1 million compared with the same period last year.

Other operating income, excluding financial instruments, increased by NOK 5 million compared with the third quarter of 2020. The increase was mainly attributable to insurance sales, income from discretionary asset management and money-transfer services.

See Note 7 for a specification of other operating income.

Costs

Operating costs were NOK 160 million in the quarter, which is NOK 11 million higher than in the same quarter last year. Personnel costs were NOK 6 million higher than in the corresponding period last year and amounted to NOK 87 million. Staffing has increased by eight full-time equivalents in the past 12 months, to 361 FTEs. Other operating costs have increased by NOK 5 million from the same period last year. See Note 8 for a specification of costs.

The cost income ratio for the third quarter of 2021 was 40.9 per cent, 1.9 percentage points higher than in the third quarter of last year.

Provisions for expected losses and credit-impaired commitments

The quarterly accounts were charged NOK 2 million (NOK 36 million) in losses on loans and guarantees. This amounts to 0.01 per cent (0.18 per cent) of average total assets on an annualised basis. Losses in the corporate segment increased by NOK 9 million in the quarter, while losses in the retail segment decreased by NOK 7 million.

At the end of the third quarter of 2021, provisions for expected losses totalled NOK 365 million, equivalent to 0.51 per cent of gross loans and guarantee commitments (NOK 481 million and 0.72 per cent). Of the total provisions for expected losses, NOK 18 million concerns credit-impaired commitments more than 90 days past due (NOK 22 million), which amounts to 0.03 per cent of gross loans and guarantee commitments (0.03 per cent). NOK 231 million concerns other credit-impaired commitments (NOK 312 million), which is equivalent to 0.32 per cent of gross loans and guarantee commitments (0.46 per cent).

Net credit-impaired commitments (commitments more than 90 days past due and other commitments in stage 3) have decreased by NOK 9 million in the past 12 months. At end of the third quarter of 2021, the corporate market accounted for NOK 774 million of net credit-impaired commitments and the retail market NOK 96 million. In total, this represents 1.22 per cent of net gross loans and guarantee commitments (1.31 per cent).

Lending to customers

At the end of the third quarter of 2021, lending to customers amounted to NOK 69,423 million (NOK 65,367 million). In the past 12 months, customer lending has increased by a total of NOK 4,056 million, or 6.2 per cent. Retail lending has increased by 4.3 per cent and corporate lending has increased by 10.3 per cent in the past 12 months. Lending to corporate customers increased by 0.6 per cent in the third quarter of 2021, while lending to retail customers rose by 0.3 per cent. Retail lending accounted for 67.5 per cent of total lending at the end of the third quarter of 2021 (68.7 per cent).

Deposits from customers

Customer deposits have increased by NOK 1,451 million, or 3.7 per cent, in the past 12 months. At the end of the third quarter of 2021, deposits amounted to NOK 40,780 million (NOK 39,329 million). Retail deposits have increased by 5.3 per cent in the past 12 months, while corporate deposits have increased by 1.1 per cent and public sector deposits by 3.9 per cent. The retail market's relative share of deposits amounted to 60.1 per cent (59.2 per cent), while deposits from the corporate market accounted for 37.6 per cent (38.5 per cent) and from the public sector market 2.3 per cent (2.3 per cent).

The deposit-to-loan ratio was 58.5 per cent at the end of the third quarter of 2021 (59.9 per cent).

ADDITIONAL DIVIDENDS

The bank's dividend policy implies cash dividends for 2020 of NOK 13.50 per equity certificate. Based on the extraordinary situation and the authorities' expectations, the General Meeting in March, decided to distribute NOK 4.50 per equity certificate and NOK 45 million in dividends to the local communities. In addition, the General Meeting issued board authorisation for an additional distribution of dividends of up to NOK 9.00 per equity certificate, as well as distribution of dividends of up to NOK 91 million to the local communities.

In its meeting on 25 October 2021, the Board used this authorization and decided on additional dividends of NOK 9.00 per equity certificate, as well as distribution of dividend funds of NOK 90 million to the local communities. This dividend payment will not affect the bank's Common Equity Tier 1(CET1).

The Board's decision on 25 October 2021 is based on an assessment of the prudence of approving and making dividend payments in accordance with Section 10-6, first subsection, of the Financial Institutions Act, including the results as at the end of the third quarter of 2021.

CAPITAL ADEQUACY

Sparebanken Møre is well capitalised. At the end of the third quarter, the Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio was 17.1 per cent (17.5 per cent), incl. 50 per cent of the result for the year to date. This is 4.4 percentage points higher than the total regulatory minimum requirement for the Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 12.7 per cent. The primary capital ratio, including 50 per cent of the result for the year to date, was 20.8 per cent (21.4 per cent) and the Tier 1 capital ratio was 18.8 per cent (19.3 per cent).

Capital adequacy is calculated in line with the EU's Capital Requirements Directive (CRD) IV and Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR), which were introduced with effect from 31 December 2019.

The total regulatory minimum requirement for Sparebanken Møre's Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio, including the Pillar 2 supplement, was 12.7 per cent at the end of the third quarter of 2021. In its assessment of Sparebanken Møre's Pillar 2 supplement in 2018, the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway set it at 1.7 per cent, although it was made subject to a minimum of NOK 590 million with effect from 31 March 2019. Sparebanken Møre's internal target for its Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio is 15.2 per cent.

The leverage ratio (LR) at the end of the third quarter of 2021 was 7.6 per cent, 0.3 percentage points lower than at the end of the third quarter of 2020. The regulatory minimum requirement (3 per cent) and buffer requirement (2 per cent), 5 per cent in total, were met by a good margin.

SUBSIDIARIES

The aggregate profit of the bank's three subsidiaries amounted to NOK 191 million after tax after the first three quarters of 2021 (NOK 167 million).

Møre Boligkreditt AS was established as part of the Group's long-term funding strategy. The main purpose of the covered bond company is to issue covered bonds for sale to Norwegian and international investors. At the end of the third quarter of 2021, the company had outstanding bonds of NOK 29 billion in the market. Around 37 per cent was issued in a currency other than NOK. Of the volume of bonds issued by the company, NOK 2,347 million (nominal value) was held by the parent bank at the end of the third quarter of 2021. Møre Boligkreditt AS contributed NOK 190 million to the Group's result so far in 2021 (NOK 164 million).

Møre Eiendomsmegling AS provides real estate brokerage services to both retail and corporate customers. The company has not made a profit contribution so far in 2021 (NOK 2.2 million). At the end of the quarter, the company employed 17 full-time equivalents.

Sparebankeiendom AS's purpose is to own and manage the bank's commercial properties. The company has made a profit contribution of NOK 1 million so far in 2021 (NOK 1 million). The company has no employees.

EQUITY CERTIFICATES

At the end of the third quarter of 2021, there were 5,625 holders of Sparebanken Møre's equity certificates. The proportion of equity certificates owned by foreign nationals amounted to 5.11 per cent at the end of the quarter. 9,886,954 equity certificates have been issued. Equity certificate capital accounts for 49.6 per cent of the bank's total equity.

Note 14 includes a list of the 20 largest holders of the bank's equity certificates. As at 30 September 2021, the Bank owned 22,111 of its own equity certificates. These were purchased on the Oslo Børs at market prices.

FUTURE PROSPECTS

Unemployment continued to fall in Møre og Romsdal during the third quarter. At the end of September, the number of unemployed people registered at job centres totalled to 2.0 per cent of the workforce according to NAV. In comparison, the national unemployment rate was 2.4 per cent. The unemployment rate is now close to the level it was prior to the start of the shutdown of the Norwegian economy in March 2020.

There has been a clear rise in the number of jobs advertised in the autumn, particularly in the health and care sector, manufacturing and service occupations. Many jobs have also been advertised within retail and sales work. Several sectors are reporting difficulties recruiting labour. This too is an indication that output and demand are rising in the county.

The growth rate for household lending for Norway as a whole has increased slightly in 2021, but levelled off during the third quarter. The growth in lending to the corporate market accelerated in this quarter as well and total 12-month retail lending growth is now at 5.3 per cent compared with 4.8 per cent at the end of last year.

The bank has noted good activity so far this year with an accelerating rate of growth compared with the end of 2020. The 12-month growth rate was 6.2 per cent compared with 4.4 per cent at the end of 2020. The 12-month growth for lending in the retail market was 4.3 per cent at the end of the third quarter, while the growth rate for the corporate market was 10.3 per cent. Deposits increased by 3.7 per cent in the past 12 months up to the end of the third quarter of 2021, and the deposit-to-loan ratio remains high.

Sparebanken Møre expects lending growth for the bank in 2021 to be slightly higher than the growth in 2020 and end up at around 5 per cent. Deposit growth is expected to remain high.

The bank has a solid capital base and good liquidity and will remain a strong and committed supporter of our customers also going forward. The focus will always be on good operations and profitability.

Sparebanken Møre's strategic financial performance targets are a return on equity exceeding 11 per cent and a cost income ratio below 40 per cent. The activity-reducing measures due to the Covid-19 pandemic have affected the market so that the targets will not be achieved in 2021. The Board of Directors expects both further improvements with respect to the targets in the fourth quarter and that implemented measures will lead to achieved targets in 2022.

Accounting principles

The Group`s interim accounts have been prepared in accordance with adopted International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), approved by the EU as at 30 September 2021. The interim report has been prepared in compliance with IAS 34 Interim Reporting and in accordance with accounting principles and methods applied in the 2020 Financial statements.

The accounts are presented in Norwegian kroner (NOK), which is also the Parent Banks and subsidiaries functional currency. All amounts are stated in NOK million unless stated otherwise.

Capital adequacy

Sparebanken Møre calculates and reports capital adequacy in compliance with the EU's capital requirements regulation and directive (CRR/CRD IV). Sparebanken Møre is granted permission from the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway (FSA) to use internal rating methods, IRB Foundation for credit risk. Calculations regarding market risk are performed using the standard method and for operational risk the basic method is used.

Sparebanken Møre has a total requirement for Common Tier 1 capital ratio (CET1) of 12.7 per cent. The requirement consists of a minimum requirement of 4.5 per cent, a capital conservation buffer of 2.5 per cent, a systemic risk buffer of 3.0 per cent and a countercyclical capital buffer of 1.0 per cent. In addition, the FSA has set an individual Pillar 2 requirement for Sparebanken Møre of 1.7 per cent, albeit a minimum of NOK 590 million.

The countercyclical capital buffer was reduced from 2.5 per cent to 1.0 per cent with effect from 13 March 2020. The level is set by the Ministry of Finance based on advice from Norges Bank. The countercyclical capital buffer can be increased with 12 months' notice. On 17 June 2021, the Ministry of Finance announced that the countercyclical capital buffer requirement will be increased to 1.5 per cent from 30 June 2022.

Sparebanken Møre has an internal target for CET1 of 15.2 per cent.

Reported capital adequacy in the annual report for 2020 was based on a proposed cash dividend of NOK 4.50 per equity certificate, a total of NOK 44 million, and dividend funds to the local community totaling NOK 45 million.

On 23 March 2021, the General Meeting made a decision to authorise the Board of Directors to decide on further distribution of dividends on the basis of the bank's annual accounts for 2020 of up to NOK 9.00 per equity certificate and up to NOK 91 million in dividends for local communities. The authoritsation is valid until the ordinary General Meeting in 2022. The funds that can be distributed in accordance with the board authorisation have been transferred to other equity pending any distribution, instead of to the equalisation fund and primary capital as originally proposed. The funds transferred to other equity shall not be included in the calculation of Common Equity Tier 1 capital, which resulted in a reduction in the CET1 capital ratio as at 31.12.2020 from 17.5 per cent to 17.0 per cent. Similarly, the Tier 1 capital ratio was reduced from 19.2 per cent to 18.7 per cent and the capital adequacy ratio was reduced from 21.3 per cent to 20.8 per cent.

Losses on loans and guarantees

Methodology for measuring expected credit losses (ECL) according to IFRS 9

Sparebanken Møre has developed an ECL model based on the Group's IRB parameters and applies a threestage approach when assessing ECL on loans to customers and financial guarantees in accordance with IFRS 9.

Stage 1: At initial recognition and if there's no significant increase in credit risk, the commitment is classified in stage 1 with 12-months ECL.

Stage 2: If a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition is identified, but without evidence of loss, the commitment is transferred to stage 2 with lifetime ECL measurement.

Stage 3: If the credit risk increases further, including evidence of loss, the commitment is transferred to stage 3 with lifetime ECL measurement. The commitment is considered to be credit-impaired. As opposed to stage 1 and 2, effective interest rate in stage 3 is calculated on net impaired commitment (total commitment less expected credit loss) instead of gross commitment.

Staging is performed at account level and implies that two or more accounts held by the same customer can be placed in different stages.

An increase in credit risk reflects both customer-specific circumstances and development in relevant macro factors for the particular customer segment. The assessment of what is considered to be a significant increase in credit risk is based on a combination of quantitative and qualitative indicators, as well as "backstops" (see separate section regarding "backstops")

Quantitative criteria

A significant increase in credit risk is determined by comparing the PD at the reporting date with PD at initial recognition. If the actual PD is higher than initial PD, an assessment is made of whether the increase is significant.

Significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition is considered to have occurred when either

  • PD has increased by 100 per cent or more and the increase in PD is more than 0.5 percentage points, or
  • PD has increased by more than 2 percentage points

A 12-months PD is used to determine whether the credit risk has increased significantly.

Qualitative criteria

In addition to the quantitative assessment of a changes in the PD, a qualitative assessment is made to determine whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk, for example, if the commitment is subject to special monitoring.

"Backstops"

Credit risk is always considered to have increased significantly if the following events, "backstops", have occurred:

  • the customer's contractual payments are 30 days past due
  • the customer has been granted forbearance measures due to financial distress, though it is not severe enough to be individually assessed in stage 3

Significant reduction in credit risk – recovery

A customer migrates from stage 2 to stage 1 if:

  • The criteria for migration from stage 1 to stage 2 is no longer present, and
  • This is satisfied for at least one subsequent month (total 2 months)

A customer migrates from stage 3 to stage 1 or stage 2 if the customer no longer meets the conditions for migration to stage 3:

  • The customer migrates to stage 2 if more than 30 days in default.
  • Otherwise, the customer migrates to stage 1.

Customers who are not subject to the migration rules above are not expected to have significant change in credit risk and retain the stage from previous month.

Definition of default, credit-impaired and forbearance

The definition of default has been amended from 1 January 2021 and has been extended to include breaches of special covenants and agreed payment reliefs (forbearance). The new default definition has not changed the Group's assessment of credit risk associated with individual exposures, and there is therefore no significant effect on the Group's losses in the third quarter.

A commitment is defined to be in default and credit-impaired (non-performing) if a claim is more than 90 days overdue and the overdue amount exceeds the highest of 1 per cent of the exposure (loans and undrawn credits) and NOK 1,000 for the retail market and NOK 2,000 for the corporate market. Breaches of covenants can also trigger default.

A commitment is also defined to be credit-impaired (non-performing) if the commitment, as a result of a weakening of the debtor's creditworthiness, has been subject to an individual assessment, resulting in a lifetime ECL in stage 3.

A commitment is defined to be subject to forbearance (payment relief due to payment difficulties) if the bank agrees to changes in the terms and conditions as a result of the debtor having problems meeting payment obligations. Performing forbearance (not in default) is placed in stage 2 whereas non-performing (defaulted) forbearance is placed in stage 3.

As part of the process of granting payment relief, a specific, individual assessment is made of whether the application for payment relief is 'forbearance' and whether the loan should thus migrate to stage 2 (performing) or stage 3 (non-performing) in the Group's ECL model.

Management override

Quarterly review meetings evaluate the basis for the accounting of ECL losses. If there are significant events that will affect an estimated loss which the model has not taken into account, relevant factors in the ECL model will be overridden. An assessment is made of the level of long-term PD in stage 2 and stage 3 under different scenarios.

Consequences of Covid-19 and measurement of expected credit loss (ECL) for loans and guarantees

Pursuant to the accounting rules (IAS 34), interim financial reports must provide an explanation of events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of an entity since the last annual report. The information related to these events and transactions must take into account relevant information presented in the most recent annual report.

The bank's loss provisions reflect expected credit loss (ECL) pursuant to IFRS 9. When assessing ECL, the relevant conditions at the time of reporting and expected economic developments are taken into account.

Covid-19 has resulted in an extraordinary situation for the bank's customers. Even though we are back to a normal everyday life (with increased preparedness), there is still considerable uncertainty associated with expected developments both in Norway and in the world economy, and the picture is constantly changing. Some industries have changed fundamentally due to the rapid digitalization that occurred during Covid-19. Further, we will see changes in the economy due to the climate issue and the focus on sustainability. This means that there is greater uncertainty about critical estimates.

In the Group's calculations of expected credit loss (ECL), the macroeconomic scenarios and the weightings have been impacted by the changes in economic conditions through 2020 and 2021.

During the second half of 2021, the outlook has become more positive and clearer. There are improvements in macroeconomic conditions. There are very few bankruptcies and the level of default is relatively low. Increased compulsory liquidation of companies and an increase in the number of bankruptcies are expected when deferred public debt falls due for payment.

No changes have been made in scenario weighting or other assumptions in the Group's loss model. The probability of a pessimistic scenario is 20 per cent, the base case scenario is 70 per cent probability and the best case scenario is 10 per cent.

Classification of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the balance sheet at the date when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial asset is derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or the company transfers the financial asset in such a way that risk and profit potential of the financial asset is substantially transferred. Financial liabilities are derecognised from the date when the rights to the contractual provisions have been extinguished, cancelled or expired.

CLASSIFICATION AND MEASUREMENT

The Group's portfolio of financial instruments is at initial recognition classified in accordance with IFRS 9. Financial assets are classified in one of the following categories:

  • Amortised cost
  • Fair value with value changes through the income statement

The classification of the financial assets depends on two factors:

  • The purpose of the acquisition of the financial instrument
  • The contractual cash flows from the financial assets

Financial assets assessed at amortised cost

The classification of the financial assets assumes that the following requirements are met:

  • The asset is acquired to receive contractual cash flows
  • The contractual cash flows consist solely of principal and interest

All lending and receivables, except fixed interest rate loans, are recorded in the group accounts at amortised cost, based on expected cash flows. The difference between the issue cost and the settlement amount at maturity, is amortised over the lifetime of the loan.

Financial liabilities assessed at amortised cost

Debt securities, including debt securities included in fair value hedging, loans and deposits from credit institutions and deposits from customers, are valued at amortised cost based on expected cash flows. The portfolio of own bonds is shown in the accounts as a reduction of the debt.

Financial instruments assessed at fair value, any changes in value recognised through the income statement The Group's portfolio of bonds in the liquidity portfolio is classified at fair value through the income statement. The portfolio is held solely for liquidity management and is traded to optimize returns within current quality requirements for the liquidity portfolio.

The Group's portfolio of fixed interest rate loans is assessed at fair value to avoid accounting mismatch in relation to the underlying interest rate swaps.

Financial derivatives are contracts signed to mitigate an existing interest rate or currency risk incurred by the Group. Financial derivatives are recognised at fair value through the income statement and recognised gross per contract as an asset or a liability.

The Group's portfolio of shares is assessed at fair value with any value changes through the income statement.

Losses and gains as a result of value changes on assets and liabilities assessed at fair value, with any value

changes being recognised in the income statement, are included in the accounts during the period in which they occur.

LEVELS IN THE VALUATION HIERARCHY

Financial instruments are classified into different levels based on the quality of market data for each type of instrument.

Level 1 – Valuation based on prices in an active market

Level 1 comprises financial instruments valued by using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. This category includes listed shares, as well as bonds and certificates in LCR-level 1, traded in active markets.

Level 2 – Valuation based on observable market data

Level 2 comprises financial instruments valued by using information which is not quoted prices, but where prices are directly or indirectly observable for assets or liabilities, including quoted prices in inactive markets for identical assets or liabilities. This category includes derivatives, as well as bonds which are not included in level 1.

Level 3 – Valuation based on other than observable market data

Level 3 comprises financial instruments which cannot be valued based on directly or indirectly observable prices. This category includes loans to customers, as well as shares.

Events after the reporting date

No events have occurred after the reporting period that will materially affect the figures presented as of 30 September 2021.

There is still uncertainty associated with Covid-19. This uncertainty is reflected in the calculations of expected losses. Please see the interim report from the Board of Directors as well as note 5 for further information.

In its meeting on 25 October, the Board used its authorization and decided to distribute an additional dividend of NOK 9.00 per equity certificate, as well as distribution of dividend funds of NOK 90 million to the local communities. This dividend payment was taken into account in the calculation of capital adequacy as of 31 December 2020 and will thus not affect the bank's Common Equity Tier 1(CET1) now.

information about the profitability of the Group by measuring the profitability of the operation in relation to the
invested capital. The profilloss is adjusted for interest on Additional Tier 1 capital, which pursuant to IFRS, is

interest and does not entitle to dividends.
