Storebrand Boligkreditt AS

– Quarterly report for the first quarter 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.)

  • Profit before taxes of NOK 9 million in the first quarter.
  • Good portfolio quality
  • Increased lending volume for the quarter

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Profit before taxes was NOK 9 million (NOK 14 million) for the first quarter. This performance is in line with general market trends.

Net interest income totalled NOK 29 million (NOK 32 million) in the first quarter. Lending margins are under pressure due to the bank group having used more competitive prices. As a percentage of average total assets, net interest income was 0.81 per cent (0.85 per cent) for the first quarter.

Other operating income in the first quarter amounted to minus NOK 6 million (minus NOK 2 million) and relate to commission income on loans and net accounting loss in connection with early repayment of issued bonds.

The operating expenses totalled NOK 15 million (NOK 16 million).

Losses in the portfolio are low, and in the first quarter the company recognised income of NOK 0.2 million (recognised expense of NOK 0.2 million) in loan write-downs.

BALANCE SHEET PERFORMANCE

The lending volume has increased by NOK 1.9 billion since the end of 2016 and amounted to NOK 15.3 billion (NOK 13.4 billion). Storebrand Bank ASA and Storebrand Boligkreditt AS operate with restrictive lending practices. The average loan-to-value ratio in the portfolio was 48 per cent at the end of the quarter, the same as at the end of 2016. 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 128 per cent (118 per cent).

Defaulted loans at the end of the first quarter amounted to NOK 22 million (NOK 25 million), equivalent to 0.14 per cent of gross loans in the company (0.19 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 approximately NOK 1 million (NOK 3 million) and group loan write-downs amounted to NOK 1 million (NOK 2 million) at the end of the quarter.

The company's loan programme has a AAA rating from S&P Global.

At the end of the first quarter of 2017, the company had a liquidity portfolio consisting of fixed-income securities with a AAA rating from S&P with a market value of NOK 142 million. The investment is classified at fair value through profit or loss.

The company's total assets under management as at 31 March 2017 were NOK 15.8 billion, an increase of NOK 2.1 billion compared with the end of 2016.

A bond of NOK 2.5 billion (maturity 2022) was issued in the first quarter of 2017 which was listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange at the end of the quarter. At the end of the quarter, the company had issued covered bonds with a total carrying amount of NOK 12.3 billion, with remaining terms of approximately 3 months to 5 years. NOK 11.8 billion of these bonds has been placed in the market, while the remaining NOK 0.4 billion is being held in the parent bank.

Storebrand Boligkreditt AS 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 ASA 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. In the year to date, all terms and conditions have been satisfied for all signed loan agreements.

Equity in the company at the end of the quarter amounted to NOK 1,102 million (NOK 1,010 million) after group contributions paid/received. The net primary capital at the end of the quarter amounted to NOK 1,096 million (NOK 1,096 million). The capital base of Storebrand Boligkreditt AS consists entirely of pure core capital. The pure core capital adequacy ratio in the company was 17.6 per cent (19.6 per cent) at the end of the quarter. The requirement for primary capital was 15 per cent as of 31 March 2017. The company has satisfactory solvency and liquidity based on the company's business activities. The company satisfied the combined capital and capital buffer requirements by a good margin at the end of the quarter.

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 a minimum LCR with escalation. From and including 31 December 2016, the credit company must comply with an LCR of 80 per cent. The requirement will be increased to 100 per cent from 31 December 2017. At the end of the year, the company's LCR was 182 per cent.

STRATEGY AND FUTURE PROSPECTS

In 2017, Storebrand Boligkreditt AS will continue its core activity, which is the acquisition and management of home mortgages from Storebrand Bank ASA. The company is aiming for moderate growth in collateralisation during 2017.

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 AS in 2017.

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 AS 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 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 Boligkreditt ASAs interim financial statements.

Note 02

Estimates

Critical accounting estimates and judgements are described in the 2016 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.

Note 03

Tax

In December 2016, the Norwegian Parliament (Storting) agreed to reduce the company tax rate from 25 per cent to 24 per cent effective from 1 January 2017. It was also agreed that a financial tax would be introduced that would come into effect from the same date. Therefore, for companies subject to the financial tax, the company tax rate will be continued at the 2016 level (25 per cent).

Storebrand Boligkreditt AS has activities within "Section K" (financing and insurance activities as defined in Standard Industrial Classification 2007) which exceed 30 per cent and are therefore subject to the financial tax, but since the compay does not have any employees it is not subject to finacial tax. Tax is estimated based on expected tax rate for the year. Actual financial tax may differ from estimates.
