Storebrand Boligkreditt AS

  • Half-yearly report for the first half of 2020

(Profit figures for the corresponding period in 2019 are shown in brackets. Balance sheet figures in brackets are for the end of 2019)

  • Low interest margins due to special Covid-19 market conditions
  • Decreased lending volume for the quarter

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Pre-tax profit was NOK 7 million (NOK 18 million) for the second quarter and a pre-tax profit of NOK 24 (NOK 38 million) year to date.

Net interest income was NOK 28 million (NOK 40 million) in the second quarter and NOK 75 million (NOK 77 million) year to date As a percentage of average total assets, net interest income was 0.54 per cent (0.88 per cent) for the second quarter and 0 73 per cent (0 84 per cent) year to date. In March there was a pressure in the market to let the reductions in policy rate and NIBOR, caused by the Covid-19 situation, to have immediate effect on the home loan rates even though funding rates did not decrease just as quickly. This led to significantly lowered margins in the second quarter

Other operating income in the second quarter amounted to NOK 0 1 million (minus NOK 2 million) and minus NOK 4 million (NOK 0 1 million) year to date, and are related to commission income on loans and net loss on financial instruments at fair value and amortised cost.

Operating expenses remained stable in the quarter and totalled NOK 21 million (NOK 20 million) in the second quarter and NOK 43 million (NOK 39 million) year to date

Loan losses in the second quarter amounted to NOK 0 5 million recognised as income (expense of NOK 0 2 million) and expense of NOK 4 million (income of NOK 0 1 million) year to date

BALANCE SHEET DEVELOPMENT

The lending volume has decreased by NOK 1 5 billion since the end of 2019 and amounted to NOK 18 9 billion (NOK 20 4 billion) Storebrand Bank ASA and Storebrand Boligkreditt AS operate with restrictive lending practices. The average loan-to-value ratio in the portfolio was 54 per cent at the end of the quarter, and unchanged from year end 2019. On the date of transfer, the loan-to-value ratio never exceeds 75 per cent. The company has over-collateralisation of 114 per cent (140 per cent)

Defaulted loans at the end of the second quarter amounted to NOK 32 million (NOK 35 million), equivalent to 0.17 per cent of gross loans in the company (0.17 per cent). All the loans have a loan-to-value ratio within 75 per cent of market value or have mainly been written down. Loan loss provisions amounted to NOK 5 million (NOK 2 million) at the end of the half-year

The company's loan programme is AAA rated by S&P Global Ratings.

At the end of the second quarter of 2020, the company had a liquidity portfolio consisting of fixed-income securities with a AAA rating and AA+ rating from S&P Global Ratings with a market value of NOK 745 million, of which NOK 42 million is classified at amortised cost and NOK 703 million is classified at fair value in the balance sheet with changes in value through profit or loss.

The company's total assets under management as at 30 June 2020 were NOK 19.7 billion (NOK 20.6 billion), a decrease of NOK 0.9 billion compared with the end of 2019.

At the end of the first half-year of 2020, Storebrand Boligkreditt AS had issued covered bonds with a total carrying amount of NOK 17.0 billion with remaining terms of approximately 12 months to 4 years. NOK 16.3 billion of these bonds has been placed in the market, while NOK 0.7 billion is being held by 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 6.0 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.

CAPITAL ADEQUACY

Equity in the company at the end of the first half-year amounted to NOK 1.6 billion (NOK 1.5 billion) after group contributions paid/received. The eligible capital (Tier 1 capital + Tier 2 capital) at the end of the quarter amounted to NOK 1.5 billion (NOK 1.5 billion). The capital base of Storebrand Boligkreditt AS consists entirely of Core Equity Tier 1 (CET1). The CET1 adequacy ratio in the company was 21.1 per cent (19.7 per cent) at the end of the first-half year. The requirement for the capital base was 14.5 per cent as of 30 June 2020. 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.

Storebrand Boligkreditt AS must comply with an LCR of 100 per cent. At the end of the first half-year of 2020, the company's LCR was 928 per cent.

CREDIT RISK

The loan portfolio at 30 June 2020 is not significantly changed from previous quarters. The portfolio mainly consists of loans and credits secured in real estate. The average LTV's are low and have not changed significantly from previous quarters. Loans in arrear and defaulted loans are on similar levels.

The macroeconomic environment is significantly changed since year end 2019. The unemployment rate including furloughs peaked at approximately 15 per cent (including part time unemployment), however, the unemployment rate including furloughs and part time unemployment is reduced to less than 10 per cent and full time unemployment to less than 5 per cent at the end of the first half year. There is thus signs of macroeconomic improvement.

There is, however, still a significant uncertainty of the macroeconomic outlook, for example regarding duration and level of the downturn both domestically and internationally. The severity of the downturn will be dependent upon amongst others containment of the Covid-19 pandemic, and the effectiveness of economic measures, locally and globally. The severity will affect economic activity, unemployment and housing prices. Default levels and loan losses in the loan portfolio are dependent on these parameters. The macro economic uncertainty is still reflected in the IFRS 9 expected credit losses, even though there are signs of improvement. Storebrand Boligkreditt AS has not changed the outlook significantly from the first quarter. The expected credit losses are therefore not significantly changed in the second quarter. There is still a higher uncertainty in the point estimate of expected credit losses compared to year end 2019, and there is a higher possibility in larger variations in expected credit losses in the next quarters.

STRATEGY AND FUTURE PROSPECTS

In 2020, Storebrand Boligkreditt AS will continue its core activity, which is the acquisition and management of mortgages from Storebrand Bank ASA. The company is aiming for moderate growth in collateralisation during 2020. Storebrand Boligkreditt AS will continue to monitor the development of Covid-19 and adjust its operations to the changing conditions, both in terms of macroeconomic development and impact on individual customers.

The market trends and the non-performing loans are being 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 2020.

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

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.

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 contain all the information that is required in full annual financial statements. The financial statements of Storebrand Boligkreditt AS have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and appurtenant interpretations.

A description of the accounting policies applied in the preparation of the financial statements is provided in the 2019 annual report, and the interim financial statements are prepared with respect to these accounting policies.

There are none new or changed accounting standards that entered into effect in 2020.

Note 02

Estimates

Critical accounting estimates and judgements are described in the 2019 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 uncertainty of the economic development causes an increase in expected credit losses from year end 2019. There is also a higher uncertainty in the point estimate of expected credit losses, and there is a higher possibility in larger variations in expected credit losses in the next quarters. See further information in note 5 financial risk and note 15 non-performing loans and loan losses.

Tax Note 03

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 company does not have any employees it is not subject to finance tax. A tax rate of 22 per cent has been used for capitalizing deferred tax asset in the balance sheet.

Related Parties Note 04

ISSUED COVERED BONDS

Storebrand Bank ASA has invested NOK 711 million in covered bonds issued by Storebrand Boligkreditt AS as of 30 June 2020.

LOANS TRANSFERRED FROM STOREBRAND BANK ASA

Once the loans are transferred, 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 in case of change from variable to fixed interest and conversion to a flexible mortgage. In some cases Storebrand Bank ASA shall arrange the transfer and return of loans when changes of loan amount or conversion to another mortgage product have to be made. 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.

Financial risk

Notes 4 to 8 in the 2019 annual report provide a detailed overview of the company's financial risk. The descriptions are applicable at 30 June 2020, however, with the following amendments and further comments.

CREDIT RISK – CREDIT EXPOSURE

There are no significant changes to PD, EAD and LGD estimates from 31 December 2019 to 30 June 2020. The LTV's are not significantly changed. There are no significant changes to loans in arrear and defaulted loans at 30 June 2020 compared to previous quarters.

The second quarter has also been affected by the development linked to the Coronavirus spread. From the last part of February, the contagion, and the consequences of containment both in Norway and globally, has led to financial turmoil with falling economic activity, increased unemployment, and falling oil price. In Norway the unemployment has fallen significantly from the peak in the beginning of the second quarter, and full time unemployment is reduced by more than 50% since the peak. The uncertainty going forward is still elevated, lockdowns may be re-imposed in the second half of 2020 and in 2021 due to increase in Corona virus infections, locally and internationally. If and when an effective vaccine will be widely available is still uncertain. The sudden significant change in the macroeconomic outlook in the first quarter led to an increase in expected credit losses for the first quarter. In the second quarter there are signs of macroeconomic improvement, however, due to uncertainties going forward, Storebrand Bank has not altered the outlook significantly, see note 15. Expected credit losses are therefore not significantly changed from the first quarter.

LIQUIDITY RISK

Storebrand Boligkreditt AS has had solid liquidity buffers previous quarters, and the company still has substantial liquidity buffer at 30 June 2020. The LCR ratio for the company is at 928 per cent, well above the requirement of 100 per cent. Storebrand Boligkreditt AS issued NOK 5 billion covered bond in the first quarter. The funding structure is balanced with regards to maturity.

The covered bond programme is rated "AAA".

MARKET RISK

The interest rate risk is not significantly changed since year end 2019. Market value of financial instruments has been affected by spread decrease during the second quarter, affecting other revenues positively.

Note 06

Valuation of financial instruments

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 2019 annual report for Storebrand Boligkreditt AS.

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.

Note 07

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 the 2nd quarter of 2020 therefore relate entirely to the Retail Lending segment.

Liabilities to credit institutions Note 08

Storebrand Boligkreditt AS has two credit facilities with Storebrand Bank ASA. One of these facilities is a normal overdraft facility, with a commitment of NOK 6 billion. This has no expiry date, but can be terminated by the bank on 15 months' notice.

The amount of the other facility is the payment obligations of Storebrand Boligkreditt the following 31 days on interest and principal amounts regarding Covered Bonds, including any connected derivatives. This 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.

In 2020 all covenant requirements are fulfilled.

The macroeconomic environment is significantly changed since year end 2019. The unemployment rate including furloughs peaked at approximately 15 per cent (including part time unemployment), however, the unemployment rate including furloughs and part time unemployment is reduced to less than 10 per cent and full time unemployment to less than 5 per cent at the end of the first half year. There is thus signs of macroeconomic improvement.

The calculation of expected credit losses is based upon various macroeconomic scenarios in accordance with the IFRS 9 standard. The uncertainty of the economic development and outlook therefore causes an increase in expected credit losses from year end 2019. The increase is due to altered weights on the different scenarios. The credit models (PD, LGD, EAD) have not been changed. The increase in expected credit loss and stage migration is virtually completely due to the economic development and outlook, and not linked to portfolio quality in terms of credit ratings, defaults, loan-to-value ratios etc. which have not changed significantly since year end 2019.

There is also a higher uncertainty in the point estimate of expected credit losses, and there is a higher possibility in larger variations in expected credit losses the next quarters as well as on stage migration.
