General

Sparebanken Sør Boligkreditt AS is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sparebanken Sør, and the company's business is operated from Kristiansand. The company is licensed by the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway to operate as a mortgage company and issue covered bonds, and is a part of Sparebanken Sør's long-term financial strategy. All shares are owned by Sparebanken Sør and the financial statements are consolidated into the financial statements of the Sparebanken Sør Group.

The cover pool consists of secured mortgages, interest bearing securities and financial derivatives. The mortgages are granted by Sparebanken Sør and later taken over by Sparebanken Sør Boligkreditt AS. The secured mortgages meet the requirements established by the company for inclusion in the company's cover pool. One important requirement is that any outstanding loan balance taken over by the company must not exceed 75 % of the mortgaged property's market value at the date of acquisition.

At the end of Q2 2021 Sparebanken Sør Boligkreditt AS had taken on a mortgage loan portfolio totalling NOK 48 766 million, transferred from Sparebanken Sør, of which NOK 48 632 million is included in the qualified cover pool. Corresponding figures at the end of Q2 2020 were NOK 46 025 million and NOK 45 898 million respectively.

Sparebanken Sør Boligkreditt AS has issued covered bonds totalling NOK 43 154 million, compared to NOK 48 676 million at the same time in 2020. The company has achieved a diversified funding by issuing covered bonds outside the Norwegian bond market.

Income statement and balance sheet

In Q2 2021 the financial statement of Sparebanken Sør Boligkreditt AS shows a profit after tax of NOK 130.3 million, compared to NOK 126.0 million in the same period in 2020.

The company had net interest income of NOK 274.2 million, compared to NOK 211.9 million in 2020. The increase in net interest income is due to the increase in gross loans, as well as a decline in NIBOR interest rate leading to reduced funding costs.

The company has issued covered bonds in Euros under the EMTCN (European Medium Term Covered Note) program. In order to control interest and currency exposure, the company has established swap arrangements (basis swaps), to convert foreign currency into NOK. The impact on earnings related to changes in in the value of the basis swap, affected the income from financial instruments by NOK 4.4 million at the end of Q2 2021. Assuming that the covered bonds in foreign currency are held to maturity, the total change in fair value is equal to zero. The accounting effects will therefore be reversed over time.

Operating expenses were NOK 48.2 million and tax expenses were NOK 43.4 million at the end of Q2 2021. Corresponding figures at the end of Q2 2020 were NOK 43.7 million and NOK 42.0 million respectively.

Total assets at 30.06.2021 were NOK 52 220 million, of which net loans to customers represented NOK 48 756 million. At the same time in 2020 total assets were NOK 59 171 million, of which net loans to customers were NOK 46 013 million. The loan portfolio has been financed through the issuance of bonds totalling NOK 43 154 million, and through equity and loans from Sparebanken Sør. At the end of Q2 2021, the company had at total paid-in capital of NOK 1 875 million, of which NOK 1 375 million was share capital and NOK 500 million was related to share premiums.

Sparebanken Sør Boligkreditt AS has an overdraft facility of NOK 5 000 million with Sparebanken Sør regarding operational purposes that, at 30.06.2021, was drawn down by NOK 4 729 million. In addition, the company has a revolving multicurrency loan facility, which can be used to refinance outstanding bonds.

Risks

4

As a licensed mortgage company, Sparebanken Sør Boligkreditt AS is subject to a number of acts, regulations, recommendations and regulatory provisions. The objective of the company is to finance lending activities through the issuance of covered bonds with high rating. This means that Sparebanken Sør Boligkreditt AS strives to maintain risk at a low level. The company places emphasis on identifying, measuring and controlling risk elements in such a way that the market has high confidence in the company and that bonds issued by the company have high rating.

The company`s credit strategy and policy constitute a framework, which includes lending regulations and loan to value requirements for any loan taken on by the company. The Board of Directors considers the overall quality of the lending portfolio to be very good and the credit risk to be low.

The company's mortgage lending to customers is in Norwegian kroner (NOK) at both floating and fixed interest rate. Financing is based on both floating and fixed interest rate bonds in NOK and EUR.

Accounting for foreign currency debt and debt at fixed interest rates, comply with the rules for hedge accounting. The Board of Directors considers the overall market risk to be low.

The Board of Directors considers the company's liquidity risk to be low. At 30.06.2021 the company satisfies the liquidity requirements imposed on European banks and finance institutions (LCR - Liquidity Coverage Ratio).

A Management Service Agreement has been established with Sparebanken Sør that encompasses the supply of all necessary services for the operation of the company, and the Board of Directors considers the company's operational risk to be low.

Green Covered Bond

The bond was issued under a Green and Sustainable Framework aligned with ICMA's Green Bond Principles. The proceeds of the first issuance are allocated to finance a portfolio of mortgages for energy efficient residential buildings in Norway.

Board of Director's report

Future prospects

The Covid-19 pandemic has had a major impact on society since March 2020. Extreme measures have been taken by the authorities, both nationally and internationally, to prevent the spread of infection. This has negatively affected the economies of Norway and our trading partners, although the government's use of monetary policy initiatives seems to have positively counteracted the effects of covid-19 on the economy. The Norwegian economy has picked up, and the financial markets have stabilized.

Residential property prices in the Bank's main markets have shown positive, though moderate, growth over several years. Activity in the housing market has been high in the recent quarters, and statistics for the first half of 2021 indicate very strong growth in housing prices in the Bank's market area.

The policy rate is expected to be lifted during 2021, and in line with the monetary policies implemented internationally. Loan losses on retail customers are expected to stay low.

The Board of Directors anticipates the company's business to continue to be very satisfactory going forward. Sparebanken Sør Boligkreditt AS is well positioned to further acquire loans from Sparebanken Sør, and issue covered bonds towards investors in Norway and abroad.

1) The company has issued covered bonds in Euro that have been hedged using basis swaps. Change in the value of the basis swaps as a result of changes in market conditions, is presented as hedging-inefficiency. This ineffective portion is recognized in the income statement.

Basis swaps are derivative contracts used to convert obligations in foreign currency into NOK. Basis swaps are used when the company has entered into long term funding in international capital markets. These are hedging instruments, and assuming the underlying bond is held to maturity, the change in market value over the instruments duration equals zero. Accounting effects are therefore reversed over time.

NON-PERFORMING LOANS

All commitments in stage 3 are defined as non-performing. In a new definition made effective from 1 January 2021, non-performing loans are based on a minimum amount of NOK 1 000 for retail customers, and NOK 2 000 for corporate customers respectively. There is also introduced a relative limit of 1 percent of the customers total commitment. Both claims must be met in order to a non-performing loan to occur.

In addition to the requirements mentioned above, a non-performing loan may occur as well if causes of objective nature, qualitative assessments and loss allowances are available.

The following may also lead to a non-performing loan:

Forbearance – a combination of financial problems and concessions from the bank

Unlikeliness to pay – breach of covenants or other information relevant to non-performing assessments

There is also introduced rules related to infections and quarantine, which implies an infected co-borrower if a loan is defaulted. A quarantine period of 3 to 12 months will be applied until the situation is clarified and the customer is declared performing.
