Interim Report Q3 2023

Financial Review

"We're pleased to report solid financial results for the first nine months of the year with a profit before tax of DKK 271m, up from DKK 136m in the year-earlier period.

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.

Prospects are generally good for the rest of the year, and as reported in a previous announcement, we have raised our net profit guidance from DKK 235-265m to the DKK 260-290m range," said BankNordik CEO Turið F. Arge.

Income statement

The following comments are generally stated relative to Q2 2023. Due to seasonal variations, comments provided on the insurance segment relate to Q3 2022. The comments on the first nine months of 2023 are stated relative to the same period of 2022.

Operating income

The BankNordik Group generated operating income of DKK 148m in Q3 2023, an increase of DKK 13m compared to Q2 2023, driven by quarter-on-quarter increases in net interest income and net insurance income.

Interim Report Q3 2023

Net interest income

Net interest income was DKK 96m in Q3 2023, an increase of DKK 10m compared to Q2 2023.

Net fee and commission income

Net fee and commission income amounted to DKK 19m in Q3 2023, DKK 1m higher than in Q2 2023.

Net insurance income

Net insurance income was DKK 24m in Q3 2023, DKK 13m higher than in Q3 2022.

Operating and sector costs

Operating costs amounted to DKK 65m in Q3 2023, a slight increase of DKK 1m compared to Q2 2023.

Profit before impairment charges

Profit before impairment charges was DKK 83m in Q3 2023, an increase of DKK 12m compared to Q2 2023.

Impairment charges

Net impairments were DKK 0m in Q3 2023 compared to a reversal of DKK 7m in Q2 2023. The management provision of DKK 75m taken in relation to the ongoing economic uncertainty as well as uncertainty in relation to the Bank's impairment calculation and modelling did not change during the quarter. Management believes that the overall economic uncertainty remains a risk to the Bank's customers.

Operating profit

The resulting operating profit was DKK 82m in Q3 2023 compared to DKK 78m in Q2 2023.

Non-recurring items

Non-recurring items amounted to DKK 0m in Q3 2023. The figure in Q2 2023 was DKK 6m.

Investment portfolio earnings

Investment portfolio earnings amounted to DKK 26m in Q3 2023 compared to DKK 15m in Q2 2023.

Profit before tax

Profit before tax in Q3 2023 was DKK 108m, DKK 21m higher than the pre-tax profit of DKK 87m reported for Q2 2023.

Profit before tax for the first nine months of the year totalled DKK 271m. This was significantly higher than the figure for the first nine months of 2022, which came in at DKK 136m. The two factors driving the increased profit were net interest income, which has increased due to the changed interest rate environment, and investment portfolio earnings, for which the Bank has recorded significant income compared to the losses recorded for the same period of 2022.

Balance sheet

BankNordik's total assets at 30 September 2023 amounted to DKK 12.5bn, up by DKK 326m compared to 31 December 2022. Loans and advances were DKK 8.8bn, DKK 707m more than at 31 December 2022. Deposits were DKK 8.6bn, up by DKK 254m compared to 31 December 2022.

Shareholders' equity at 30 September 2023 amounted to DKK 1,780m, down by DKK 37m compared to 31 December 2022 due to the payment of dividend in the amount of DKK 250m.

Capital and Liquidity

At 30 September 2023, the Group's CET1 capital ratio was 21.8%, the core capital ratio was 23.9% and the total capital ratio was 25.3%. The total capital ratio, incl. MREL capital, was 30.1%. The net profitt for the Q1- Q3 2023 period, amounting to DKK 219.0m, is not included in the calculation of the capital ratios. The Group's liquidity indicator was 199.0% at 30 September 2023, well above the requirement of 100%. The Group's LCR at 30 September 2023 was 196.6%, also well above the requirement of 100%.

Events after the balance sheet date

No events have occurred since 30 September 2023 that are deemed to have a significant impact on the Group's financial position.

Guidance for 2023

On 19 September 2023, the Bank raised its financial guidance for the third time since the initial guidance for the year provided February. The original guidance was for net profit of DKK 190-220m. This was raised to DKK 210-240m on 18 April and to DKK 235-265m on 16 June 2023. The current guidance is for net profit for 2023 in the DKK 260-290m range. The drivers of the increase in expected net profit remain rising policy and market rates and the fact that the Bank's customer remain resilient in the face of inflationary pressures, keeping impairments low. In addition, the Bank's return on its investment portfolio continues to exceed expectations.

The guidance is subject to uncertainty, including impairments on loans and advances, market value adjustments, and macroeconomic developments in the markets in which the Group operates.

Interim Report Q3 2023

Personal Banking

The Personal Banking segment reported operating income of DKK 84m for Q3 2023, an increase of DKK 12m compared to Q2 2023. Net interest income was DKK 60m in Q3 2023, up DKK 12m compared to Q2 2023. Net fee and commission income was DKK 18m in Q3 2023, DKK 2m higher than in the preceding quarter. Other operating income amounted to DKK 5m in Q3 2023, a decrease of DKK 1m relative to Q2 2023.

Operating costs were DKK 51m in Q3 2023, DKK 2m higher than in Q2 2023. Impairment charges amounted to a reversal of DKK 1m in Q3 2023, the same level as seen in Q2 2023. As a result, operating profit for Q3 2023 was DKK 33m, DKK 11m higher than in the previous quarter.

Investment portfolio earnings posted to the personal banking segment amounted to DKK 17m in Q3 2023 compared to DKK 10m in Q2 2023. Non-recurring items in the Personal Banking segment amounted to DKK 0m in Q3 2023 compared to DKK 5m in Q2 2023.

Profit before tax thus amounted to DKK 51m in Q3 2023, DKK 22m higher than the DKK 28m posted in Q2 2023.

Profit before tax for the first nine months of 2023 totalled DKK 112m. This was significantly higher than the DKK 21m posted for the same period of 2022. The drivers behind the difference were net interest income and investment portfolio earnings.

Loans and advances to personal customers in Q3 2023 rose by DKK 87m to DKK 3,859m, while brokered mortgage credit fell by DKK 81m to DKK 2,203m, both compared to 30 June 2023. Although the trend in recent years has been for Faroese households to increasingly embrace the traditional Danish financing model of 80% LTV mortgage funding with the residual in 2nd lien bank lending, interest rate conditions of the past year or so have affected the type of loans preferred by customers. The Bank expects this trend to reverse in the longer term. Deposits held by personal customers rose by DKK 94m in Q3 2023 to DKK 5,678m at 30 September.
