Storebrand Boligkreditt AS

  • Half-yearly report for the first half year of 2016

(Profit figures for the corresponding period in 2015 are shown in parentheses. Balance sheet figures in parentheses are for the end of 2015.)

  • Profit before taxes of NOK 15 million in the second quarter and NOK 28 million for the year.
  • Good portfolio quality
  • Stable lending volume for the quarter

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Profit before taxes in the second quarter was NOK 15 million (NOK 37 million) and NOK 28 million (NOK 87 million) for the first half year. This development is in line with the general market trend and the change in the management agreement with Storebrand Bank ASA.

Net interest income was NOK 32 million (NOK 43 million) for the second quarter and NOK 64 million (NOK 97 million) for the first half year. As a percentage of average total assets, net interest income was 0.84 per cent (1.19 per cent) for the second quarter and 0.84 per cent (1.33 per cent) for the half year.

Other operating income in the second quarter amounted to NOK 0 million (minus NOK 1 million) and minus NOK 2 million (minus NOK 1 million) for the first half year, resulting from commission income on loans and profit/ loss on financial instruments.

Operating costs increased in the second quarter as a result of higher fees paid to Storebrand Bank ASA for management of the company's loan portfolio from and including the fourth quarter of 2015, and totalled NOK 17 million (NOK 4 million) for the second quarter and NOK 33 million (NOK 8 million) for the first half year.

Losses in the portfolio are low, and in the second quarter the company recognised an expense of NOK 1 million (NOK 1 million recognised as an expense) in loan write-downs and recognised an expense of NOK 1 million (NOK 1 million recognised as an expense) for the first half year.

BALANCE SHEET PERFORMANCE

The lending volume increased in the second quarter and the first half of the year and amounted to NOK 15.7 billion (NOK 14.3 billion). Storebrand Bank ASA and Storebrand Boligkreditt AS operate with conservative lending practices. The average loan-to-value ratio in the portfolio was 49 per cent at the end of the half year, compared with 50 per cent at the end of 2015. On the date of transfer, the loan-to-value ratio never exceeds 75 per cent. The risk in the loan portfolio is considered to be very low. The company has over-collateralisation of 140 per cent (126 per cent).

Defaulted loans at the end of the half year amounted to NOK 25 million (NOK 27 million), equivalent to 0.16 per cent of gross loans in the company (0.19 per cent). Principally all the loans have a loan-to-value ratio within 75 per cent of market value or are generally written down. Individual loan write-downs amounted to NOK 3 million (NOK 2 million)

and group loan write-downs amounted to NOK 2 million (NOK 2 million) at the end of the half year.

The company invested in fixed-income securities totalling NOK 42 million in the second quarter of 2016. The investment was classified at FVO (fair value option) and assessed at market value with changes in value through ordinary profit or loss.

The company's total assets under management as at 30 June 2016 were NOK 16.4 billion compared with NOK 14.9 billion at the end of 2015.

Storebrand Boligkreditt AS issued covered bonds totalling NOK 2.5 billion (maturity 2021) during the first quarter of 2016 and redeemed bond loans of NOK 1.0 billion in June 2016. At the end of the half year, the company had issued covered bonds totalling NOK 11.7 billion, with remaining terms of approximately 11 months to 5 years. NOK 10.6 billion of these bonds has been placed in the market, while the remaining NOK 1.1 billion is being held in the parent bank.

Storebrand Boligkreditt has two credit facilities with Storebrand Bank ASA. One of these is a normal overdraft facility, with a ceiling of NOK 6 billion. This has no expiry date, but can be terminated by the bank on 15 months' notice. The other facility must have a sufficient ceiling at all times to be able to cover interest and repayment on covered bonds and the associated derivatives for the next 31 days. This drawing right may not be terminated by Storebrand Bank until at least 3 months after the maturity date of the covered bond and the associated derivatives with the longest period to maturity. Standard covenant requirements are linked to the loan agreements entered into. All the terms and conditions have been satisfied for all signed loan agreements in the first half year. In accordance with the loan programme, the company's over-collateralisation requirement is satisfied at 109.5 per cent.

Equity in the company at the end of the half year amounted to NOK 996 million (NOK 975 million). The net primary capital at the end of the first half year amounted to NOK 975 million (NOK 975 million). Storebrand Boligkreditt AS' capital base consists entirely of pure core capital. The pure core capital adequacy ratio in the company was 14.7 per cent (16.2 per cent) at the end of June 2016. Due to the strong balance sheet growth in June 2016, Storebrand Boligkreditt AS did not satisfy the combined capital and capital buffer requirements at the end of June 2016 after the countercyclical capital buffer requirement increased from 14.5 per cent to 15 per cent on 30 June 2016. As a consequence of this, Storebrand Boligkreditt AS has sold loans to Storebrand Bank ASA, which has reduced gross lending to NOK 14.6 billion. Given a lending volume of NOK 14.6 billion as of 30 June 2016, the capital adequacy ratio is estimated at 15.7 per cent. The Storebrand Bank Group had a capital adequacy ratio of 17.7 per cent and a pure core capital adequacy ratio of 14.3 per cent at the end of the second quarter and therefore satisfies the capital and capital buffer requirements by a good margin.

The company aims to comply with the applicable buffer capital requirements at all times. The company has satisfactory liquidity based on the company's business activities.

The purpose of the liquidity coverage requirement (LCR) is to measure the size of the company's liquid assets, in relation to the net liquidity outflow 30 days in the future given a stress situation in the money and capital markets. The LCR was introduced for Storebrand Boligkreditt AS from 30 June 2016 with the minimum requirement for LCR with escalation of: 70 per cent from 30 June 2016, 80 per cent from 30 December 2016, and 100 per cent from December 2017. Storebrand Boligkreditt AS has measured and reported its monthly LCR figures to the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway over the past year and is well within the future requirement. At the end of the first half year, the company's LCR was 165 per cent.

STRATEGY AND FUTURE PROSPECTS

Storebrand Boligkreditt will continue its core activity, which is the acquisition and management of home mortgages from Storebrand Bank. 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 Boligkreditt in 2016.

The housing market and developments in total non-performing loans will be closely monitored. Efforts to ensure good working procedures and high data quality will continue and thereby ensure that government and rating requirements continue to be fulfilled.

New issues of covered bonds will be made available when the company decides it is prudent to do so and there is sufficient security. Storebrand Boligkreditt will continue to contribute to Storebrand Bank ASA having diversified financing.

No events of importance to the preparation of the interim financial statements have occurred since the balance sheet date.

Storebrand Boligkreditt AS Notes

Accounting principles

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 financial statements of Storebrand Boligkreditt AS have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) approved by the EU and appurtenant interpretations.

A description of the accounting policies applied in the preparation of the financial statements is provided in the 2015 annual report, and the interim financial statements are prepared with respect to these accounting policies. There are none new nor amended accounting standards that entered into effect as at 1 January 2016 that have caused significant effects on Storebrand Bank's interim financial statements.

Note 02

Estimates

Critical accounting estimates and judgements are described in the 2015 annual financial statements' note 2 and valuation of financial instruments at fair value are described in note 8.

In preparing 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.

The company's critical estimates and judgements that could result in material adjustment of recognised amounts are discussed below:

Financial instruments at fair value

There will be some uncertainty associated with the pricing of financial instruments not priced in an active market. This is particularly true of the types of securities priced on the basis of non-observable assumptions. Various valuation techniques are applied to these investments in order to determine the fair value. They financial instruments where theoretical models are used for pricing. Any changes to the assumptions could affect recognised amounts.

Reference is also made to Note 6 in which the valuation of financial instruments at fair value is described in more detail.

Financial instruments at amortised cost

Financial instruments valued at amortised cost are assessed on the reporting date to see whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.

A certain degree of judgement must be used in assessing whether impairment has occurred and the amount of the impairment loss. Uncertainty grows when there is turmoil in financial markets. The assessments include credit, market and liquidity risk. Changes in assumptions for these factors will affect an assessment of whether impairment is indicated. There will thus be uncertainty concerning the recognised amounts of individual and group write-downs. This will apply to provisions relating to loans in the private market.

Tax Note 03

Tax cost is based on an expected average tax rate of 25% of company's profit before tax adjusted for permanent difference if there are any differences.

Note 04

Financial risk Note

05

The market value of Storebrand Boligkreditt AS's financial assets and liabilities varies due to financial market risks. Note 3 to note 7 of the 2015 Annual report explains the company's financial risks which also is representative of the financial risks as per 30 June 2016.

Note 06

Valuation of financial instruments

Storebrand Boligkreditt AS 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 Nordic Bond Pricing, 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 Boligkreditt AS 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 company categorises financial instruments on three different levels, for further information see note 8 in the 2015 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.

The standard method is used for credit risk and market risk, and the basic method for operational risk. The overall requirements for core tier 1 capital and the capital base are 11.5 and 15 per cent respectively as of 30 June 2016, through the increase of counter-cyclical capital buffer by 0.5 percent from 30 June 2016.

The capital base of Storebrand Boligkreditt AS consists entirely of pure core capital. Due to the strong balance sheet growth in June 2016, Storebrand Boligkreditt AS did not satisfy the combined capital and capital buffer requirements at the end of June 2016. As a consequence of this, Storebrand Boligkreditt AS sold loans to Storebrand Bank ASA that have reduced gross lending to NOK 14.6 billion. Given a lending volume of NOK 14.6 billion as of 30 June 2016, the capital adequacy ratio is estimated at 15.7 per cent. The Storebrand Bank Group had a capital adequacy ratio of 17.7 per cent and a pure core capital adequacy ratio of 14.3 per cent at the end of the second quarter and therefore satisfies the capital and capital buffer requirements by a good margin.

1) In accordance with the Regulation for credit institutions that issue covered bonds, lending cannot exceed 75% of the value of collateral (i.e. value of properties pledged as collateral). As per 30 June 2016 the company had NOK 16.2 million that exceeds the loan to value limit and has therefore not been included in the cover pool. As per 30 June 2016, the company has 5 non-performing loans without evidence of impairment, equivalent to NOK 9.3 million. There are 10 non-performing loans with evidence of impairment of NOK 15.4 million where the impairment is assessed to be NOK 2.9 million. Non-performing loans with and without evidence of impairment, are not included in the cover pool. Deposits with credit institutions includes received collateral by NOK 39.6 million. See note 14. The collateral is not a part of the cover pool.

2) Over-collateralisation has been calculated based on total volume of issued covered bonds of NOK 11.4 billion (nominal value).

The company reduced the lending volume on 7 July 2016 due to a breach of the buffer capital requirements. Given a reduction in the lending volume of NOK 14.6 billion, overcollateralization is calculated at 130.4%

  • 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 loans 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.
