Storebrand Bank Group

  • Half-yearly report for the first half of 2017

(Profit figures for the corresponding period in 2016 are shown in parentheses. Balance sheet figures in parentheses are for the end of 2016.)

  • Continued strong growth in the retail market portfolio
  • Low volume of non-performing loans
  • Stable costs
  • Entered into a partnership agreement with the savings app Dreams

The lending balance in the retail market portfolio increased by NOK 1.8 billion during the quarter and has increased by NOK 4.0 billion in the year to date. The bank has also sold NOK 2.2 billion in mortgages to Storebrand Livsforsikring AS during the quarter and NOK 5.2 billion for the year to date.

Storebrand Bank ASA has entered into a cooperative agreement with the Swedish savings app Dreams. The app was launched in Sweden in 2016 and thus far has 80,000 registered users. The launch of Dreams in Norway in cooperation with Storebrand will take place in autumn 2017.

Storebrand Bank ASA also signed cooperative agreements with Propr and Pensjonskasseforeningen (Norwegian Association of Pension Funds) in the second quarter. Propr offers self-service solutions for selling real estate without using a real estate agent and Pensjonskasseforeningen is a member association for 75 public and private pension funds.

The bank's corporate market is being wound up. The market is being wound up in a controlled manner over time.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

The bank group achieved a pre-tax profit of NOK 48 million (NOK 89 million) in the second quarter and a pre-tax profit of NOK 88 million (NOK 110 million) year to date.

Net interest income was NOK 91 million (NOK 95 million) for the second quarter and NOK 178 million (NOK 183 million) year to date. The fee to the Norwegian Banks' Guarantee Fund of NOK 13 million for 2017 is accrued over 12 months, with NOK 3 million in the second quarter and NOK 6 million for the year to date. In 2016, the fee of NOK 14 million was expensed in its entirety in the first quarter. The interest margin contracted due to more competitive pricing in the retail market and a reduced proportion of loans in the corporate market. Net interest income as a percentage of average total assets was 1.11 per cent (1.16 per cent) for the second quarter and 1.10 per cent (1.13 per cent) year to date. For the retail market in the bank group, net interest income as a percentage of average total assets was 1.22 per cent (1.16 per cent) for the second quarter and 1.17 per cent (1.18 per cent) year to date.

Net commission revenues represented NOK 19 million (NOK 11 million) in the second quarter, and NOK 37 million (NOK 20 million) for the year to date. There was a positive effect on the bank's commission income due to the increase in loans that the bank manages on behalf of Storebrand Livsforsikring AS.

Other revenues amounted to NOK 5 million (NOK 43 million) for the second quarter, and NOK 21 million (NOK 50 million) for the year to date. This development is primarily influenced by changes in value of fixed-rate loans at fair value, derivatives and other financial instruments.

Operating costs were stable and totalled NOK 68 million (NOK 64 million) in the second quarter and NOK 144 million (NOK 138 million) year to date.

NOK 1 million was recognised as income (NOK 3 million recognised as income) for write-downs on lending in the second quarter, and NOK 3 million has been recognised as expenses (NOK 5 million recognised as expenses) for the year to date. The write-downs year to date were primarily associated with the bank's corporate market portfolio. Group write-downs remained largely unchanged during the quarter and have been reduced by NOK 3 million (NOK 3 million) for the year to date. The bank has particularly assessed commitments that are directly or indirectly associated with the oil sector.

BALANCE SHEET PERFORMANCE

The loan portfolio in the retail market, including loans managed on behalf of Storebrand Livsforsikring AS, amounted to NOK 39.4 billion (NOK 35.4 billion) at the end of the half-year, of which the share to Storebrand Livsforsikring AS was NOK 12.9 billion (NOK 9.7 billion). Retail market loans in the bank group amounted to NOK 26.5 billion (NOK 25.7 billion) at the end of the half-year. The corporate market portfolio amounted to NOK 1.2 billion (NOK 1.5 billion) at the end of the half-year and is reduced according to plan. The volume of corporate market loans syndicated to Storebrand Livsforsikring AS amounted to NOK 0.7 billion (NOK 1.3 billion) at the end of the half year. Gross lending to customers in the bank group totalled NOK 27.8 billion at the end of the half year (NOK 27.3 billion).

The bank group's retail market portfolio represents 96 per cent (94 per cent) of the bank's total loans, and mainly consists of low risk home mortgages. The weighted average loan-to-value ratio in the bank group for the retail market portfolio is approximately 54 per cent for home mortgage loans, compared with 56 per cent at the end of 2016. Corporate market lending accounts for 4 per cent (6 per cent) of the portfolio.

The total volume of non-performing loans increased by NOK 36 million in the first half-year and accounts for 0.8 per cent (0.6 per cent) of gross lending at the end of the half-year. The bank considers the portfolio quality to be good. Non-performing loans without impairment amounted to NOK 140 million (NOK 107 million) at the end of the half-year. Non-performing impaired loans amounted to NOK 90 million (NOK 88 million) at the end of the half-year, where impairment gives individual write-downs of NOK 30 million (NOK 28 million).

LIQUIDITY RISK AND FUNDING

The bank has established good liquidity buffers and attaches great importance to having a balanced funding structure with varying terms to maturity and issuances in various markets. The volume of deposits from customers was NOK 15.0 billion (NOK 15.2 billion) at the end of the halfyear, which represents a deposit-to-loan ratio of 54 per cent (56 per cent).

Storebrand Bank ASA issued a subordinated loan of NOK 150 million (maturity 2022), a senior bond of NOK 500 million (maturity 2019), and a senior bond of NOK 400 million (maturity 2020) in the first half-year. In addition, Storebrand Boligkreditt AS issued a covered bond of NOK 2.5 billion (maturity 2022) during the first quarter of 2017. In the second quarter, Storebrand Boligkreditt AS renewed the lending programme with a AAA rating with S&P Global Rating Services.

The liquidity coverage requirement (LCR) measures 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. A minimum LCR with escalation has been introduced. From and including 31 December 2016, the bank group must comply with an LCR of 80 per cent. The requirement will be increased to 100 per cent from 31 December 2017. The bank group's LCR was 152 per cent at the end of the first half-year.

CAPITAL ADEQUACY

The bank has had a decrease in the risk-weighted balance sheet of NOK 0.4 billion in the year to date. The Storebrand Bank Group had net primary capital of NOK 2.4 billion at the end of the first half-year. The capital adequacy ratio was 18.2 per cent and the pure core capital ratio was 14.4 per cent at the end of first half-year, compared with 17.7 per cent and 14.0 per cent, respectively, at the end of 2016. The combined requirements for pure core capital and primary capital were 13.3 per cent and 16.8 per cent respectively at the end of the first half-year.

The bank group has adapted to the new capital requirements and aims to comply with the applicable buffer capital requirements at any given time. The bank group has satisfactory financial strength and liquidity based on its operations. The bank group, parent bank and Storebrand Boligkreditt AS satisfied the combined capital and capital buffer requirements by a good margin as of 30 June 2017.

PERFORMANCE OF STOREBRAND BANK ASA

Storebrand Bank ASA achieved a pre-tax profit of NOK 21 million (NOK 79 million) for the second quarter, and NOK 53 million (NOK 90 million) for the year to date.

Net interest revenues for Storebrand Bank ASA totalled NOK 52 million (NOK 63 million) for the second quarter and NOK 110 million (NOK 119 million) for the year to date.

NOK 1 million was recognised as income (NOK 4 million recognised as income) from loan write-downs in the second quarter and NOK 3 million has been recognised as expenses (NOK 4 million recognised as expenses) for the year to date.

STRATEGY AND FUTURE PROSPECTS

In second half-year of 2017, the Storebrand Bank group will continue to work on improving the business' profitability, combined with growth within strategic segments in the retail market. The development in the housing market in different parts of the country is closely monitored. The bank will also prioritise maintaining a moderate to low risk profile with a good balance sheet and good funding composition.

In the retail market, the bank will continue to work on developing attractive products and digital services that support Storebrand's focus on sustainability. Improving competitiveness through better efficiency is a priority and the bank shall continue to reduce costs and increase the degree of automation in customer and work processes. The cooperative agreement that was entered into with Cognizant in 2015 will also be of key importance to the improvement efforts in the second half-year of 2017.

Due to the discontinuation of the corporate market, the bank will not enter into new projects, grant new loans or otherwise acquire new corporate market customers.

Sound management of the bank's credit and liquidity risk, and control of the operational risk in key work processes will also be a vital focus in the second half-year of 2017. The bank will continue to closely monitor developments in non-performing loans and loan losses. Developments in the Norwegian and international capital markets, interest rates, unemployment and the property market, particularly in Oslo, are regarded as the key risk factors that can affect the results of the Storebrand Bank group in the second half-year of 2017.

The Board of Directors are not aware of any events of material importance to the preparation of the interim financial statements that have occurred since the balance sheet date.

Notes Storebrand Bank Group

Accounting principles Note 01

The Group's financial statements include Storebrand Bank ASA together with subsidiaries. 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 2016 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 2017 that have caused significant effects on Storebrand Bank ASA's and Storebrand Bank Group's interim financial statements.

Note 02

Estimates

Critical accounting estimates and judgements are described in the 2016 annual financial statements in note 2 and valuation of financial instruments at fair value are described in note 6.

In preparing the Group's financial statements the management are requiring 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 03

Tax

The Storebrand Bank Group includes companies that are both subject to and not subject to the financial tax. The tax cost is estimated based on expected effective tax rate per individual company for the year. Actual financial tax may differ from estimates.

Related Parties Note 04

COVERED BONDS ISSUED BY STOREBRAND BOLIGKREDITT AS

Storebrand Bank ASA has not any investments in covered bonds issued by Storebrand Boligkreditt AS as of 30 June 2017.

LOANS SOLD 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 sold, Storebrand Boligkreditt AS assumes all the risks and benefits of owning the loan portfolio. It is Storebrand Boligkreditt AS 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.

LOANS SOLD TO STOREBRAND LIVSFORSIKRING AS

Storebrand Bank ASA has sold mortgages to sister company Storebrand Livsforsikring AS. The mortgages were sold on commercial terms. The portfolio of loans that was sold as of 30 June 2017 totalled NOK 5.2 billion. As the buyer, Storebrand Livsforsikring AS has acquired both cash flows and most of the risk and control. The loans were therefore derecognised in the bank's balance sheet in accordance with IAS 39. Storebrand Bank ASA receives management fees for the work being done with the sold portfolio. The bank has recognised NOK 7.6 million as revenue in the accounts for first half of 2017. The fees paid to the bank are based on the arm's lenght principle.

CREDIT FACILITIES WITH STOREBRAND BOLIGKREDITT AS

The bank has two credit facilities with Storebrand Boligkreditt AS. 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 may not be terminated by Storebrand Bank ASA until at least 3 months after the maturity date of the covered bond and the associated derivatives with the longest period to maturity. Both agreements require a sufficient ceiling at all times to be able to cover interest and repayment on covered bonds and associated derivatives for the next 31 days.

OTHER RELATED PARTIES

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 37 and 38 in the 2016 annual report for Storebrand Bank ASA.

Note 05

Financial risk

Storebrand Bank's financial assets and liabilities fluctuate in value due to the risk in the financial markets. Notes 3 to 7 in the 2016 annual report provide a more detailed overview of the bank group's financial risk which is also applicable for the financial risk as at 30 June 2017. The bank's corporate market portfolio has declined since the end of 2016, but this has not significantly changed the risk in the remaining portfolio.

Valuation of financial instruments Note 06

The Storebrand Group categorises financial instruments on three different levels. Criteria for the categorisation and processes associated with valuing are described in more detail in note 8 in the 2016 Annual report for Storebrand Bank ASA.

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 a view to minimising the uncertainty of valuations

SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS

LENDING TO CUSTOMERS

The value of fixed-rate loans is determined by discounting the agreed cash flows over the remaining maturity by the current discount rate adjusted for market spread. The discount rate that is used is based on a swap interest rate (mid swap) with a maturity that corresponds to the remaining lock-in period for the underlying loans. The market spread that is used on the date of the balance sheet is determined by assessing the market conditions, market price and the associated swap interest rate.

EQUITIES

This item is included the membership in VISA Norge FLI. At the end of the quarter, the membership was valued at what the bank expects to receive in deferred settlement, adjusted for uncertainty. The change in value is included through Total comprehensive income.

Business segments are the Group' primary reporting segments.

DESCRIPTION OF THE SEGMENTS:

CORPORATE MARKET:

The segment includes corporate customers' deposits and loans, mainly property owners and developers. All capital market business for customers within the bank's corporate market segment is presented under the corporate market segment. Storebrand Bank ASA has decided to wind up the corporate market at the bank. The winding up of operations will be gradual and controlled.

RETAIL MARKET:

Deposits from and loans to retail market customers, including credit cards, and deposits from corporate customers without property interests. Loans primarily comprise home mortgages. The segment includes loans in Storebrand Boligkreditt AS. All capital market business for customers within the bank's retail market segment is presented under the retail market segment.

TREASURY / ANNET:

The fee to the Norwegian Banks' Guarantee Fund is accrued over 12 months in the segment accounts. The residual for actual recognised expense in the first half-year of 2016 is entered in the Other/Treasury segment. In 2017 the fee to the Norwegian Banks' Guarantee Fund is again accrued over 12 months in the accounts. There is therefore no residual for Treasury / Other.

Income and expenses that are not directly attributable are allocated to the segments on the basis of the assumed resource use. The elimination of double entries refers primarily to customer transactions that are carried out across the segments. The effects of financial risk management and the liquidity portfolio have not been allocated to the business areas and are reported under Treasury / Other.

Distributions from VISA Norge FLI in 2016 are reported under Treasury / Other.

The loan agreements contain standard covenants. Storebrand Bank ASA and Storebrand Boligkreditt AS were in compliance with all relevant covenants in 2017.

Capital adequacy

Capital adequacy calculations are subject to special consolidation rules in accordance with the regulation on consolidated application of the capital adequacy rules etc. (the "Consolidation Regulation"). The Storebrand Bank group is defined pursuant to Section 5 of the Consolidation Regulation as a financial group comprising solely or mainly undertakings other than insurance companies. According to the capital requirement regulations, the valuation rules used in the company's accounts form the basis for consolidation. Consolidation is mainly carried out in accordance with the same principles as those used in the accounts, with all internal transactions eliminated, including shares, loans and deposits as well as other receivables and liabilities.

The standard method is used for credit risk and market risk and the basis method is used for operational risk. In 2016, the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway set a second pillar supplement of 1.8 percentage points of the calculation basis for Storebrand Bank ASA and the Storebrand Bank Group. The requirement must be covered by pure core capital. The requirement for a countercyclical capital buffer is 1.5 per cent at 30 June 2017, and at the same time the combined requirements for pure core capital and primary capital were 13.3 per cent and 16.8 per cent. The level of the countercyclical capital buffer requirement will be increased by a further 0.5 percentage points from 31 December 2017, with a corresponding increase in the requirement for pure core capital and primary capital from this date.

1) Provisions for individual loan losses in percent of loss-exposed loans with evidence of impairment.

2) Total loan loss provisions in per cent of gross non-performing and loss-exposed loans.

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.
