Sound performance

in Q3 2023

2 November 2023

Turið F Arge, CEO

"The favourable performance was mainly driven by an increase in central bank and market rates, increases in both deposits and lending, the return on the investment portfolio and a good performance by the insurance business during the quarter. Furthermore, the customer portfolio maintained its sound credit quality despite a generally volatile economic environment of rising interest rates and high inflation."

Q3 2023 highlights

Satisfactory developments in core banking operations

  • Net interest income up by 11% QoQ and up by 32% YoY, driven by higher interest rates.
  • Net insurance income up by 23% QoQ and up by 26% YoY.
  • Operating costs up by DKK 1m QoQ and DKK 7m YoY.
  • Net impairment charges of DKK 0.5m QoQ and thereby no reversal for the first time since Q1 2021.
  • Non-recurringitems of DKK 9m were due to changes in staff and management.
  • Profit before tax up by 24% QoQ and up by 98% YoY.
  • Outlook: Net profit guidance DKK 260-290m.
  • Customers' resilience has proven strong, in the face of economic uncertainty and inflation, leading to lower impairment levels than initially expected. We do, however, see fewer reversals of impairment charges on loans compared to 2023.

Operating income - Fee and commission income

Decrease in fees from mortgage broking services and guarantees compared to 2022.

  • Fee and commission income up by DKK 0.6m QoQ and down by DKK 5.7m YoY.
  • Guarantee commissions down by DKK 1.3m QoQ and down by DKK 2.3m YoY, driven by a decrease in the total amount of guarantees as guarantees have been converted to loans.
  • Insurance commissions down by DKK 0.2m QoQ and up by DKK 2.2m YoY.
  • Mortgage-brokingservices up by DKK 48m QoQ and down by DKK 37m YoY. An increase in interest rates has led many customers to convert their mortgages to bank loans, affecting YoY performance.

Low impairment charges on diversified loan portfolio

  • Net impairment charges of DKK 0.5m in Q3 2023, making this item an expense for the first time since Q1 2021.
  • Discretionary management estimate of DKK 75m. Originally recognised in 2020 due to Covid. Covid-related uncertainty reduced, but the estimate has been retained due to the uncertainty caused by the war in Ukraine and macroeconomic developments.
  • Strong LTV ratios for housing loans. 92% of total housing loans below LTV of 80% and 65% below LTV of 40%.
