2014 (Resultattall i parentes gjelder tilsvarende periode i 2013. Balansetall i parentes gjelder utgangen av 2013.) (Result figures for the corresponding period in 2013 are shown in brackets. Balance sheet figures in brackets are for the end of 2013.)
- Switched focus to retail market as planned
- Good cost control
- Reduced volume of non-performing loans
The retail market area also delivered good profits during the first half of the year. The lending balance sheet is stable, while deposits increased during the first half of the year. Lending margins are good, and the retail market area has good cost control.
The bank's corporate market is being winded up. The winding up of operations will be gradual and controlled, with existing customers being well looked after.
Financial performance
The Bank Group achieved a pre-tax profit of NOK 63 million (58 million) during Q2 and a pre-tax profit of NOK 83 million (86 million) during the first half of the year. Lower volume due to the planned winding up of the corporate market portfolio is reducing interest income somewhat.
Net interest revenues were NOK 116 million (139 million) for Q2 and NOK 243 million (268 million) for the first half of the year. The interest margin weakened slightly due to the reduced share of commercial loans and increased competition in the retail market. Net interest revenues as a percentage of average total assets under management was 1.26 per cent (1.36 per cent) in Q2, and 1.29 per cent (1.32 per cent) for the first half of the year. Net interest income as a percentage of average total assets related to the retail market of the bank group was 1.23 per cent (1.23 per cent) for the quarter and 1.24 per cent (1.15 per cent) for the first half of the year.
Net commission income is stable and amounted to NOK 15 million (NOK 16 million) in Q2 and NOK 31 million (NOK 33 million) for the first half of the year. Other income amounted to NOK 6 million (NOK 8 million) for Q2 and NOK 8 million (minus NOK 8 million) for the first half of the year. Other income in 2013 was adversely affected by changes in the value of the liquidity portfolio and fixedrate loans.
Operating expenses totalled NOK 81 million (119 million) in the Q2 and NOK 161 million (217 million) for the first half year. Operating expenses were lower due to cost savings and the restructuring of Storebrand's pension scheme for its employees. In addition, in Q2 2013, provisions were made for restructuring in connection with the winding up of the bank's corporate market area.
There were net revenues of NOK 7 million (13 million) relating to loan write-downs during the Q2 and net expense of NOK 37 million (revenue 11 million) during the first half year. The loan write-downs were primarily due to one loan within the corporate market. Group write-downs
were reduced by NOK 5 million during the quarter and by NOK 9 million during the first half year.
Balance sheet performance
There was growth in the loan portfolio for the retail market in Q2, and a continued decrease in lending to the corporate market. Gross lending to customers as at the end of the first half of the year amounts to NOK 30.9 billion (NOK 33.7 billion). The volume syndicated to Storebrand Livsforsikring amounted to NOK 4.2 billion at the end of the first half of the year.
The Bank Group's retail market portfolio totals NOK 23.9 billion, equivalent to 77 per cent of the bank's total lending, and chiefly comprises low risk home mortgages. The weighted average loan-to-value ratio in the Bank Group for the retail market portfolio is about 55 per cent for home loans, which correspond to 55 per cent at the end of 2013. Corporate market lending accounts for 23 per cent of the portfolio.
During the first half of the year, the volume of nonperforming loans has been reduced by NOK 91 million due to repayments. The volume of non-performing loans amounts to 1.2 per cent (1.4 per cent) of gross lending as at 30 June 2014. The bank considers the portfolio quality to be good. Non-performing loans without impairment amounted to NOK 113 million (NOK 111 million) at the end of the first half of the year.
Liquidity risk and funding
The bank has established good liquidity buffers and places considerable emphasis on having a balanced funding structure with varying maturities and issuances in various markets. The volume of deposits from customers was NOK 20.8 billion at the end of the first half of the year, which represents a deposit-to-loan ratio of 67 per cent. In June 2014, Storebrand Bank issued a NOK 125 subordinated loan and a NOK 75 million hybrid tier 1 capital. The bonds will be settled in July and will apply to equity and subordinated loan capital from Q3 2014. That bank has NOK 275 million in subordinated loans falling due in November 2014.
Capital adequacy
The Storebrand Bank Group had a net capital base of NOK 2.9 billion at the end of the first half of the year. The capital adequacy ratio was 15.7 per cent and the core capital ratio was 14.8 per cent, compared to 13.6 per cent and 12.8 per cent respectively at the end of 2013. The bank group, the parent bank, and the residential mortgage company all satisfy current statutory requirements.
Performance of Storebrand Bank ASA
Storebrand Bank ASA achieved a pre-tax profit of NOK 14 million (minus NOK 10 million) during Q2 and a pre-tax profit of minus NOK 26 million (minus NOK 22 million) during the first half of the year.
Net interest income for Storebrand Bank ASA totalled NOK 54 million (73 million) in the second quarter and NOK 116 million (147 million) for the first half of the year.
There were net revenues of NOK 7 million (NOK 13 million) relating to loan write-downs on loans in Q2 and net expenses of NOK 38 million (net revenues of NOK 12 million) during the first half of the year.
Other
In 2014, Storebrand Bank will continue to work on improving the profitability in the retail market area combined with moderate growth. The bank will also maintain a moderate risk profile with a good balance sheet and funding composition.
The bank will prioritise implementing a new core banking system. Furthermore, focus will be directed towards reducing costs, increasing the degree of automation in customer and work processes, as well as developing better mobile and tablet solutions for customers.
As the corporate market is being winded up, the bank does not wish to become involved in new projects,
provide new loans or through other means bring in new customers within the corporate market.
The bank is working systemically to adapt to the new statutory capital and capital buffer requirements in Norway.
Sound management of the bank's credit and liquidity risk, and control of the operational risk in key work processes are also crucial in 2014, and the bank is continuing to closely monitor developments in nonperforming loans and loan losses. Developments in the Norwegian and international capital markets, interest rates, unemployment and the property market are regarded as the key risk factors that can affect the results of Storebrand Bank Group in 2014.
Storebrand Bank has received a total of 166 complaints with regard to retail customers' investments in various equity index bonds in Storebrand Bank ASA. None of the complaints was upheld by the bank's internal complaints resolution panel. 117 of the customers have appealed the bank's decision to the Norwegian Financial Services Complaints Board. As of 30 June 2014 the Secretariat of the Norwegian Financial Services Complaints Board has considered 114 cases and none of the customer complaints was upheld. No lawsuits have been filed by customers relating to investments in structured products.
No events of material importance to the interim financial statements have occurred since the balance sheet date.

NOTE 1 ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
The Group's financial statements include Storebrand Bank ASA together with subsidiarie and associated companies. The financial statements are prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The interim financial statements do not include all the information required in the annual report.
The interim accounts of Storebrand Bank ASA are prepared in accordance with Section 1-5 of the Norwegian regulations for the annual accounts of banks and finance companies etc. that provides for simplified application of international accounting standards, (hereinafter termed simplified IFRS), and with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. Simplified IFRS permits recognition to profit and loss of provisions for dividend and group contribution, and allows the Board of Director's proposal for dividend and group contribution to be recognized as a liability on the balance sheet date. The full application of IFRS stipulates that dividend and group contribution must remain part of equity until approved by the company's general meeting. Other than this, simplified IFRS requires the use of the same accounting principles as the full application of IFRS.
A description of the accounting policies applied in the preparation of the financial statements is provided in the 2013 annual report, and the interim financial statements are prepared with respect to these accounting policies. There have been amendments to the IFRS regulations with effect from, or that can voluntary be applied from 1 January 2014. These changes have noe caused significant effects on Storebrand Bank ASA's or Storebrand Bank Group´s interim financial statements.
NOTE 2 ESTIMATES
Critical accounting estimates and judgements made for the 2013 annual financial statements are described in note 2 and valuation of financial instruments at fair value is described in note 6.
In preparing the Group's financial statements the management are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions of uncertain amounts. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are based on historical experience and expectations of future events and represent the management's best judgment at the time the financial statements were prepared.
Actual results may differ from these estimates.
NOTE 3 TAX
The tax expenses during the first half of the year have been estimated based upon an expected effective tax rate on 27 per cent for the year of 2014 ajdusted for permanent differences. There will be uncertainty associated with these estimates.
NOTE 4 RELATED PARTIES
Covered bonds issued by Storebrand Boligkreditt AS
Storebrand Bank ASA has invested a total of NOK 3.1 billion in covered bonds issued by Storebrand Boligkreditt AS as of 30 June 2014. The investments are included in the liquidity portfolio in the parent company and are classified at fair value option. The investment has been eliminated in the consolidated accounts against bonds issued by Storebrand Boligkreditt AS.
Loans transferred to Storebrand Boligkreditt AS
Storebrand Bank ASA sells loans to the mortgage company Storebrand Boligkreditt AS. The mortgages are transferred on commercial terms. Once the loans are transferred, Storebrand Boligkreditt AS assumes all the risks and benefits of owning the loan portfolio. It is Storebrand Boligkreditt that receives all the cash flows from the loan customer. Storebrand Bank ASA shall arrange the transfer and return of loans when changes have to be made, i.e. if there is a request to increase the loan amount, change from variable to fixed interest, conversion to employee loan or conversion to a flexible mortgage. The costs are included in the contractual administration fee. Non-performing loans in Storebrand Boligkreditt AS remain in the company. These loans will, pursuant to the service agreement with Storebrand Bank ASA, be treated in the same way as non-performing loans in the bank. Specific reports are prepared for non-performing loans in Storebrand Boligkreditt AS. These loans are not included in the cover pool.
Loans to employees can be transferred to Storebrand Boligkreditt AS. The difference between the market interest rate and the subsidised interest rate is covered monthly by the company in which the debtor is employed.
Storebrand Bank ASA has not pledged any guarantees in connection with loans to Storebrand Boligkreditt AS.
Storebrand Bank ASA and Storebrand Boligkreditt AS have signed a management agreement pursuant to which Storebrand Boligkreditt AS will purchase administrative services from the bank. Storebrand Boligkreditt AS also purchases administrative services from Storebrand Livsforsikring AS.
NOTE 4 RELATED PARTIES (continued)
Sales of loans to Storebrand Livsforsikring AS
Storebrand Bank ASA has entered into an agreement to sell corporate loans to Storebrand Livsforsikring AS. The portfolio of loans that was sold in March 2014 comprised NOK 1.7 billion. As the purchaser, Storebrand Livsforsikring is in the bank's assessment taking over both cash flows and the essence of the risks and controls. The loans have thus been deducted from the bank's balance sheet with respect to IAS 39.
Credit facilities with Storebrand Boligkreditt AS
The bank has two credit facilities with Storebrand Boligkreditt AS. The first agreement is used for general operations, such as the acquisition of home mortgages from Storebrand Bank. The second agreement may be used for repayment of interest and principal on covered bonds and related derivatives. At all times, the size of the available credit facility should cover the interest and repayment of covered bonds for the coming 12 months.
Other
Storebrand Bank ASA conducts transactions with related parties as part of its normal business activities. These transactions take place on commercial terms. The terms for transactions with senior employees and related parties are stipulated in notes 44 and 45 in the 2013 annual report for Storebrand Bank ASA.
NOTE 5 FINANCIAL RISK
Financial risk is described in the 2013 annual report in note 6 (Financial market risk), note 5 (Liquidity risk), note 4 (Credit risk) and note 7 (Operational risk) which also are representative of the financial risks as per 30 June 2014. Conditions that are of signification to the financial risk are also described in note 2 (Important accounting estimates and judgements).
NOTE 6 VALUATION OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Storebrand Bank Group conducts a comprehensive process to ensure that financial instruments are valued as closely as possible to their market value. Publicly listed financial instruments are valued on the basis of the official closing price on stock exchanges, supplied by Reuters and Bloomberg. Bonds are generally valued based on prices obtained from Reuters and Bloomberg. Bonds that are not regularly quoted will normally be valued using recognised theoretical models. The latter is particularly applicable to bonds denominated in Norwegian kroner. Discount rates composed of the swap rates plus a credit premium are used as a basis for these types of valuations. The credit premium will often be specific to the issuer, and will normally be based on a consensus of credit spreads quoted by a selected brokerage firm.
Unlisted derivatives, including primarily interest rate and foreign exchange instruments, are also valued theoretically. Money market rates, swap rates, exchange rates and volatilities that form the basis for valuations are supplied by Reuters, Bloomberg and Norges Bank.
Storebrand Bank Group carries out continual checks to safeguard the quality of market data that has been collected from external sources. These types of checks will generally involve comparing multiple sources as well as controlling and assessing the likelihood of unusual changes.
The Storebrand Group categorises financial instruments on three different levels, for further information see note 8 in the 2013 annual report. The levels express the differing degrees of liquidity and different measurement methods used. The company has established valuation models to gather information from a wide range of well-informed sources with reference to minimising the uncertainty of valuations.

Sensitivity analysis
Lending to customers (fixed-rate loans)
Fixed-rate lending is valued at fair value. The value of these is determined by discounting future contractual cash flows using a discount rate that takes into account margin requirements (market spread).
The assumption for calculating the margin requirement is based on an assessment of market conditions at the end of the accounting period, and an assessment that would form the basis for an external investor's investment in a corresponding portfolio.

-
when a credit facility has been overdrawn for more than 90 days
-
when an ordinary mortgage has arrears older than 90 days
-
when a credit card has arrears older than 90 days and the credit limit has been overdrawn. If a repayment plan has been agreed with the customer and is being adhered to, the overdraft is not regarded as a non-performing loan.
When one of the three situations described above occurs, the loan and the rest of the customer's commitments are regarded as non-performing. The number of days is counted from when the arrears exceed NOK 2,000. The account is regarded as active when there are no longer any arrears. The amount in arrears at the time of reporting can be less than NOK 2,000.
