Sparebanken Øst, Q3 2021

Board of Directors' Report

Sparebanken Øst has seen a significant influx of customers which has resulted in high rates of growth across both lending and deposits. Lending growth in the last 12 months has amounted to NOK 8.7 billion, or 27.82 per cent, and deposit growth has totalled NOK 3.3 billion, or 22.77 per cent. High growth in terms of both lending and deposits in a market that is characterised by strong competition has had an impact on net interest income to date in 2021. During the quarter, interest increases were adopted across much of the bank's lending portfolios and these took effect in mid‐ November. The bank's deposit margins are expected to increase in future as a result of anticipated increases in money market rates.

Sparebanken Øst calculates its capital adequacy using the standard method and therefore uses very high capital weights for its lending to retail and business customers when compared with banks that use IRB models. The differential treatment of equal risk shows that capital weights according to IRB models provide the possibility for significantly higher lending volumes relative to equity levels, which makes a higher return on equity possible. With equal treatment of risk, the bank's calculations show that Sparebanken Øst could have increased its lending portfolio by around 70 per cent without any extraordinary supply of new equity.

Sparebanken Øst achieved a profit after tax of NOK 71.7 million in the third quarter of 2021, which represents a return on equity of 6.44 per cent. Earnings per equity certificate in the quarter were NOK 0.97. Net interest income amounted to NOK 165.5 million, compared with NOK 166.3 million in the same quarter last year. Costs as a percentage of average total assets have reduced and stand at 0.65 per cent compared with 0.66 per cent in the same period last year. Losses on loans were very low and amounted to income of NOK 1.7 million, compared with a cost of NOK 2.0 million in the same quarter last year.

The profit after tax as at 30 September 2021 amounted to NOK 277.7 million, which represents a return on equity of 8.71 per cent. Earnings per equity certificate are NOK 3.82 to date this year. Net interest income to date this year amounted to NOK 468.5 million, compared with NOK 468.1 million in the same period last year. The profit/loss effect from equity investments amounted to NOK 79.7 million, down NOK 91.2 million compared with the same period last year. Costs as a percentage of average total assets have reduced and stand at 0.64 per cent compared with 0.66 per cent in the same period last year. Losses on loans were very low and amounted to NOK 1.5 million, compared with NOK 11.4 million in the same period last year.

The Bank is very sound with a leverage ratio of 8.34 per cent and a CET1 capital ratio of 17.62 per cent calculated according to the standard model, both of which include 50 per cent of the equity certificate holders' and primary capital's shares of the profit for the year to date.

Quarterly profit

Sparebanken Øst achieved a profit after tax of NOK 71.7 million for Q3 2021. The corresponding profit after tax for Q3 2020 was NOK 75.9 million.

Net interest income

Net interest income amounted to NOK 165.5 million in Q3 2021, compared with NOK 166.3 million in the same quarter in 2020. Net interest income amounted to 1.35 per cent of average total assets in the quarter. Developments in terms of net interest income are affected by high rates of lending and deposit growth over the last 12 months in a market characterised by strong competition for the best customers. Deposit margins remain low as a result of low interest rates.
