Conservative loan portfolio dominated by retail customers

99.7% of retail portfolio is mortgages

Low-risk loan book consisting of residential mortgages

Our customers come from our primary market area¹. Other exposures are primarily in Bulder-segment

1Within exposure in Oslo og Akershus, Bulder represents 73% of loans. Bulder represents 80% of the Other category.

Low default rate in retail market

Late payments for mortgages, 90 days

The need for installment exemptions is at moderate levels

* Loans where installment profile changes took place at a later stage

Interest-only mortgages, above 60% LTV*

Corporate customers are well-positioned in increased macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty

  • The bank has low exposure to exporters to the USA, where tariff risk is highest.
  • Salmon farming is considered the most vulnerable, but the tariff cost is largely expected to be passed on to consumers. Our customers in this segment have a solid financial position after many years of good earnings.
  • Conservative banking practices over time limit the risk of losses in more challenging times:
    • Long-term customer relationships and competent customer managers with segment knowledge
    • The bank prioritizes industrial players with strong leadership and track-record
    • Financing structures that ensure sufficient solidity and liquidity at all times
    • Well-diversified portfolio

Defaults at a low level

Together with robust provisions, this provides a good starting point for continued low losses

The sample consists of DNB, SB1 SNN, SB1 SMN, SB1 Sør-Norge (SB1 SR-Bank) and SB1 Østlandet (Q4 2024) 1,60%
