– Interim report for the fourth quarter of 2015

(Profit figures for the corresponding period in 2014 are shown in parentheses. Balance sheet figures in parentheses are for the end of 2014.)

  • Profit before taxes of NOK 19 million in the fourth quarter and NOK 139 million for the year
  • Good portfolio quality
  • Stable lending volume for the quarter

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Profit before taxes in the fourth quarter was NOK 19 million (NOK 55 million) and NOK 139 million (NOK 216 million) for the full year. This performance is in line with general market trends.

Net interest income was NOK 35 million (58 million) for the fourth quarter and NOK 169 million (242 million) for the year. Lending margins are under pressure as a result of greater competition. As a percentage of average total assets, net interest income was 0.95 per cent (1.49 per cent) for the fourth quarter and 1.16 per cent (1.56 per cent) for the full year.

Other operating income amounted to NOK 1 million (NOK 0.4 million) in the fourth quarter and a recognised expense of NOK 0.2 million (recognised expense of NOK 10 million) for the full year and is associated with commission income on loans and gains/losses on the buy-back of issued bonds and the related derivatives.

Operating costs increased in the fourth quarter as a result of higher fees paid to Storebrand Bank ASA for management of the company's loan portfolio from the fourth quarter of 2015, totalling NOK 16 million (NOK 4 million) for the quarter and NOK 27 million (NOK 16 million) for the full year.

Losses in the portfolio are low, and in the fourth quarter the company recognised an expense of NOK 0.9 million (NOK 0.8 million) in loan writedowns and recognised an expense of NOK 2 million (NOK 0.3 million) for the full year.

BALANCE SHEET PERFORMANCE

The lending volume is on par with the previous year and amounted to NOK 14.3 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 is 50 per cent at the end of the year, compared with 49 per cent at the end of 2014. 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 126 per cent (135 per cent).

Defaulted loans at the end of the fourth quarter amounted to NOK 27 million (23 million), equivalent to 0.19 per cent of gross loans in the company (0.16 per cent). 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 just over NOK 2 million (NOK 1 million) and group loan writedowns amounted to NOK 2 million (NOK 2 million) at the end of year.

The company's total assets under management as at 31 December 2015 were NOK 14.9 billion compared with NOK 15.0 billion at the end of 2014.

At the end of the year, the company had issued covered bonds totalling NOK 11.6 billion, with remaining terms of approximately 6 months to 5 years. NOK 9.3 billion of these bonds has been placed in the market, while the remaining NOK 2.3 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 12 months. 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 2015. 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 year amounted to NOK 975 million (1,037 million). The net primary capital at year end amounted to NOK 975 million (NOK 873 million). The company's capital and core (tier 1) capital adequacy were 16.2 per cent (14.4 per cent). The company has adjusted to the new capital requirements and aims to comply with the applicable buffer capital requirements at all times. The company has satisfactory solvency and liquidity based on the company's business activities.

STRATEGY AND FUTURE PROSPECTS

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

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. 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.

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 having diversified financing.

Since the balance sheet date there have not been any events, changes, occurrences or state of facts that, individually or in the aggregate, have had or could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the interim financial statements.

Storebrand Boligkreditt AS Notes

Note 01

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 2014 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 2015 that have caused significant effects on Storebrand Bank's interim financial statements.

In Q1, a reclassification in the Statement of Financial Position has been carried out relating to interest accrued on loans to customers from Other current assets to Gross lending. Corresponding figures have also been changed.

Note 02

Estimates

Critical accounting estimates and judgements are described in the 2014 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 judgement, 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 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.

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.

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 2014 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.

Segment information

Business segments are the company's primary reporting segments. The company has only one segment, Retail Lending. This segment comprises lending to private individuals, and all loans are purchased from Storebrand Bank ASA. The company's accounts for Q4 2015 therefore relate entirely to the Retail Lending segment.

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 31 December 2015 the company had NOK 63.1 million that exceeds the loan to value limit and has therefore not been included in the cover pool. As per 31 December 2015, the company has 9 non-performing loans without evidence of impairment, equivalent to NOK 9.8 million. There are 8 non-performing loans with evidence of impairment of NOK 16.7 million where the impairment is assessed to be NOK 2.2 million. Non-performing loans with and without evidence of impairment, are not included in the cover pool.

2) Over-collateralisation has been calculated based on total volume of issued covered bonds of NOK 11.6 billion (nominal value).

Loans are regarded as non-performing and loss-exposed:

  • 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 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.
