Storebrand Boligkreditt AS

  • interim report for and as of Q1 2010

(Figures for the corresponding period in 2009 shown in brackets)

  • Pre-tax profit of NOK 28 million in Q1
  • Lending volume NOK 15 billion, an increase of 17.2 per cent in the quarter
  • Good liquidity

Financial performance

The pre-tax profit was NOK 28 million for Q1 compared to NOK 17 million in the same period last year.

Net interest income amounted to NOK 30 million (NOK 24 million) for Q1, a positive development compared with previous quarters. Net interest income as a percentage of average total assets was 0.85 per cent in Q1 (0.34 per cent).

In Q1, the company chose to invest its surplus liquidity in the form of bank deposits in Storebrand Bank ASA. Net income and gains from financial instruments at fair value had a positive effect on the result amounting to NOK 3 million (minus NOK 3.4 million) in Q1.

Operating costs totalled NOK 4 million in the quarter, a marginal increase compared with the same quarter in 2009. Costs as a percentage of income are developing positively, amounting to 12 per cent for Q1 compared to 17 per cent for the same quarter in 2009. The company primarily purchases services from Storebrand Bank ASA and Storebrand Livsforsikring AS.

Balance sheet performance

The lending volume increased throughout Q1 from NOK 12.9 billion at year-end 2009 to NOK 15.1 billion as per 31 March 2010. The company's collateral and lending portfolio were regarded as good at the close of the quarter and its average loan-to-collateral value ratio was 47 per cent as per 31 March 2010, a decrease since 2009.

The volume of non-performing and loss-exposed loans amounted to NOK 30.2 million as per 31 March 2010, equivalent to 0.2 per cent of gross lending in the company, which is a decrease compared with year-end 2009. The management does not believe there is a need for individual write-downs in connection with these commitments since the credit risk is regarded as low. Nonetheless, group write-downs increased in Q1, due to the development of the volume of non-performing and loss-exposed loans and macro factors, and amounted to NOK 2.5 million compared to NOK 1.1 million at year-end 2009. The company has significant surplus collateral relative to the covered bonds it has issued. It has therefore not invested in any additional collateral.

At the close of the quarter the company's assets under management amounted to NOK 15.9 billion compared to NOK 13.7 billion at year-end 2009. The lending portfolio amounted to NOK 15.1 billion and relates entirely to lending in the retail customer segment. The company's liquidity portfolio was realised during the quarter and NOK 255 million invested as deposits in Storebrand Bank ASA.

At close of the quarter the net bonds issued amounted to EJR 141 million of the originally issued amount of EJR 500 million. All of the bonds issued in Euro mature in May 2010. Other issued bonds are in NOK.

At the close of the quarter the company had drawn NOK 4 billion from the company's drawing facility of NOK 5 billion with its parent company, Storebrand Bank ASA. The company's liquidity is deemed satisfactory and the liquidity risk is regarded as low.

The capital ratio at the close of the quarter was 10.6 per cent and its core (tier 1) capital ratio was 10.6 per cent. Net primary capital at the close of the quarter amounted to NOK 633 million. The primary capital excludes the period's result.

No events have occurred since the balance sheet date that would be material to the interim financial statements.

The development of interest rates, the housing market and the funding market are regarded as the most significant risk factors that may affect the company's accounting figures in the next 6 months.

Storebrand Boligkreditt AS is 100 percent owned by Storebrand Bank ASA. Number of shares are 35.000.000 of nominal value NOK 10 per share.

The equity changes with the result for the individual period, equity transactions with the owners and items that are entered directly on the balance sheet. Share capital, the share premium fund and other equity is evaluated and managed together. The share premium fund may be used to cover a loss, and other equity may be used in accordance with the provisions of the Company Act.

Storebrand Boligkreditt pays particular attention to the active management of equity in the company. This management is tailored to the business-related financial risk and capital requirements in which the composition of its business areas and their growth will be an important driver for the company's capital requirements. The goal of the capital management is to ensure an effective capital structure and reserve an appropriate balance between internal goals in relation to regulatory and the rating companies' requirements. If there is a need for new equity, this must be procured by the parent bank Storebrand Bank ASA.

Storebrand Boligkreditt is a credit institution subject to statutory requirements regarding primary capital under the capital adequacy regulations. Primary capital encompasses both equity and subordinated loan capital. For Storebrand Boligkreditt, these legal requirements carry the greatest significance in its capital management.

The company's goal is to achieve a core (tier 1) capital ratio of 10% over time. In general, the equity of the company can be managed without material restrictions if the capital requirements are met and the respective legal entities have adequate solidity.

For further information on the company's fulfilment of the capital requirements, see note 14.

Notes to the accounts

NOTE 1 ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

The interim accounts for the first quarter of 2010 are prepared in accordance with the Norwegian regulations for the annual accounts of banks and finance companies etc., and with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The interim accounts do not include all the information required for full annual accounts prepared in accordance with all the current IFRS standards. The company has elected to apply Section 1-5 of the regulations for the annual accounts of banks and finance companies etc. that provides for "Simplified application of international accounting standards", (hereinafter termed simplified IFRS). A description of the accounting principles applied by the company in preparing the accounts is found in the Annual report for 2009 with exception of the changes described below. See www.storebrand.no.

NOTE 2 ESTIMATES

The preparation of the interim accounts involves the use of estimates and assumptions that have an effect on assets, liabilities, revenue, costs, the notes to the accounts and information on potential liabilities. In the future, actual experience may deviate from the estimates used. In the opinion of the Board of Directors, the interim accounts are based on best estimates at the time the accounts were prepared.

The company changed its definition of non-performing and loss-exposed loans in Q4 2009, which resulted in more loans being defined as non-performing and loss exposed.

1) The minimum requirement for capital adequacy is 8.00%.

Capital adequacy is calculated in accordance with the Basel II regulations. The company uses the standard method for credit risk and market risk, and the basic method for operational risk.

Basel II is divided into three pillars (areas). Pillar 1 deals with the minimum requirement for capital adequacy and represents a continuation of the former regulations pursuant to Basel I. Pillar 2 deals with supervisory evaluation of capital requirement and supervisory monitoring, while Pillar 3 deals with the requirements for publication of financial information. The introduction of the new regulatory framework has caused changes to the calculation base for capital adequacy. Calculation of operational risk is a new element of the Basel II regulations. Management of market risk is affected by the transition to the Basel II regulations to a minor extent.

Norwegian bonds and other fixed-income securities are measured at fair value based on valuation techniques. The valuation techniques use interest rate curves and credit spreads from external providers and are quality assured using price checks at year-end, primarily through comparing prices against other price providers.

Derivatives

Equity-linked bonds are priced on the basis of received, tradeable market prices from our counterparties as per 31 March 2010. Foreign exchange contracts are translated to NOK based on Norges Bank's exchange rates as per 31 March 2010. Interest rate swaps and base rate swaps are measured at fair value based on valuation techniques. Interest rate curves from external providers are used in the valuation techniques.

REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

We have reviewed the condensed financial statement of Storebrand Boligkreditt AS as of March 31, 2010, showing a profit for the period of MNOK 19.9. The condensed financial Statement comprises the statement of financial position, the statements of income, cash flow, the statement of changes in equity and selected explanatory notes by March 31, 2010. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with Section 1-5 of the regulations for the annual accounts for banks and finance companies etc. that provides for simplified application of International Accounting Standard, including No 34 adopted by EU. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial information does not give a true and fair view of the financial position of the entity as at March 31, 2010, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the tree-month period then ended in accordance with Section 1-5 of the regulations for the annual accounts for banks and finance companies etc. that provides for simplified application of International Accounting Standard, including No 34 adopted by EU.
