Spar Nord H1 2018

Executive Summary

5

Executive Summary “A profit after tax of DKK 630 million is on a level with the best half-year results in Spar Nord’s history, and we are of course very pleased with the strong performance. Adding to performance was a decent profit on our shareholdings in Valueinvest Asset Management and BankInvest, but our ordinary banking operations also developed favourably. Net interest and fee income is more or less unchanged from the year-earlier period, and as a result of the favourable economic trends our loan losses remain at a very low level,” said Spar Nord’s CEO Lasse Nyby.

Spar Nord achieved a satisfactory profit after tax of DKK 630 million in H1 2018, which corresponds to an annualised return on equity of 15.3%. The profit marks an increase of DKK 55 million, or 9%, on H1 2017 and is substantially above the Bank’s strategic target of having a return on equity of 9-11% after tax.

BUSINESS VOLUME The Group’s total business volume (deposits, loans, advances and guarantees, mortgage credits arranged and customers’ custodianship accounts) amounted to DKK 242.5 billion at 30 June 2018, which was DKK 1.4 billion higher than at the beginning of 2018.

Core income amounted to DKK 1,723 million, which is 2% higher than in the year-earlier period. Net interest income was DKK 773 million against DKK 785 million in H1 2017, net fee income was DKK 563 million against DKK 573 million, and market value adjustments were DKK 183 million against DKK 285 million. The strong income improvement was thus attributable to an increase in other operating income (sale of shares) in the amount of DKK 155 million.

The increase covers an increase in bank lending of DKK 1.3 billion (3%), an increase in mortgage lending of DKK 2.1 billion (3%) and a DKK 0.8 billion (2%) increase in deposits. Detracting from performance was a decline in customers’ custodian accounts.

Total costs and expenses amounted to DKK 985 million, which is on a level with the same period of last year. As in the preceding periods, costs were affected by investments in the IT area. A reduction in more or less all other cost items has the opposite effect. Core earnings before impairment were DKK 739 million, which is DKK 28 million, or 4%, higher than in H1 last year and higher than expected at the beginning of the year. Loan impairment charges etc. were a net expense of DKK 16 million, which is also better than expected at the beginning of the year.

INCOME FROM BANKINVEST AND VALUEINVEST The financial statements for the first half of 2018 are positively influenced by an income of DKK 154 million concerning the sale of Spar Nord’s shareholding in Valueinvest Asset Management SA to Macquarie. In addition, the financial statements include an extraordinary value adjustment of DKK 82 million with respect to Spar Nord’s ownership interest in BI Holding A/S (BankInvest) as a result of a changed valuation principle in BankInvest. OUTLOOK On the basis of developments and performance in H1, management has resolved to retain the full-year forecast for core earnings before impairment around DKK 1.3 billion, as announced in connection with the news about non-recurring income regarding Valueinvest and BankInvest. The net profit for the year is still expected to be around DKK 1.0 billion.

Management commentary on H1 2018

Spar Nord achieved a profit after tax of DKK 630 million in H1 2018, which corresponds to an annualised return on equity of 15.3%. The profit is DKK 55 million, or 9%, higher than in H1 2017 and is considered satisfactory by management. Core income amounted to DKK 1,723 million, which is 2% higher than in the year-earlier period. Net interest income and net fee income DKKM Net fee income 1,462

401

569

844 H1 2014

Realised net fee income was adversely affected in the amount of DKK 24 million concerning a changed accruals principle. The underlying trends were thus positive, especially due to growth in income from mortgage loans arranged, insurance and pension. On a negative note, there was a small decline in fee income from securities trading.

Net interest income

1,245

NET FEE INCOME AT A SATISFACTORY LEVEL Net fee income was DKK 563 million in H1 2018, against DKK 573 million in the same period of 2017. Net income from fees, charges and commissions thus accounted for 42% of total net interest and fee income in the period.

CONTINUED GROWTH IN LENDING AND REDUCED PRESSURE ON INTEREST MARGINS Net interest income was DKK 773 million in H1 2018, against DKK 785 million in the same period of 2017. Compared with the year-earlier period, interest income from loans, bonds, etc. was DKK 24 million lower, while interest expenses were reduced by DKK 12 million. The lending margin was 28 basis points lower in Q2 2018 than it was 1714,285714 in Q2 2017. However, since the fourth quarter, the interest margin has been a mere 7 basis points, covering a fall in the lending margin of 13 1428,571429 basis points and a fall in the deposit margin of 6 basis point.

1142,857143

857,142857 Net interest income for H1 2018 includes DKK 15 million of interest income from previous impairment exposures571,428571 (H1 2017: DKK 21 million). 285,714286

From Q1 to Q2, net interest income fell from DKK 389 million to DKK 384 million, primarily because there was no 0,000000 income due to one-off events in Q2.

MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENTS AFFECTED BY DIFFICULT BOND MARKET ENVIRONMENT Market value adjustments and dividends amounted to DKK 183 million, which is DKK 102 million, or 36%, lower than in H1 2017. The downward trend is ascribable to a sharp reduction in earnings from bonds and financial instruments. Moreover, there was a negative one-off effect of DKK 12 million concerning value adjustment of derivatives. Market value adjustments and dividends DKKM

On a positive note, market value adjustments and dividends concerning strategic shareholdings in financial sector companies rose by DKK 64 million, especially driven by BankInvest. INCOME OF DKK 154 MILLION FROM DIVESTMENT OF VALUEINVEST Other operating income amounted to DKK 179 million in H1 2018, against DKK 25 million in the same period of 2017. The increase was driven by the sale of Spar Nord’s shareholding in Valueinvest Asset Management SA to Macquarie. Income from investments in associates and group enterprises amounted to DKK 25 million compared with DKK 20 million in 2017.

For Spar Nord, the implementation of the new IFRS 9 rules at 1 January 2018 has resulted in additional impairments of DKK 250 million, and the impact on the Bank’s opening equity after tax is thus DKK 195 million, corresponding to 2.4% of shareholders’ equity.

Wages and salaries accounted for DKK 589 million of total costs and expenses. Realised payroll costs were DKK 13 million, or 2%, lower 1500 than in H1 2017, primarily due to factors of a technical nature. As a re1350 costs for basic salaries sult of pay rises under collective agreements, 1200 were thus slightly higher than in the year-earlier period, although 1050 Spar Nord employed 28 employees fewer at 30 June 2018 than one 900 year before.

750 600 Other operating expenses came to DKK450 366 million, which is DKK 19 million, or 6%, higher than in 2017. The increase was mainly due to 300 higher costs associated with strategic IT150 projects both with respect to the BEC data centre and in-house projects in Spar Nord. A re0 duction in more or less all other material cost items has the opposite 1500 effect.

1350 1200 The realised core income and costs correspond to a Cost/Income 1050 Ratio of 0.57, which is better than Spar Nord’s strategic target of 900 0.60. 750 600 From Q1 to Q2, costs and expenses rose450 from DKK 474 million to DKK 510 million. The increase was primarily 300 due to higher payroll costs 150 driven by adjustment of holiday pay obligations. 0 LOAN IMPAIRMENTS REMAINING MODERATE 1500 Loan impairment charges etc. was an expense of DKK 16 million, 1350 which compares to an income of DKK1200 9 million in the year-earlier period. Of the total H1 impact – an income 1050 of DKK 23 million in Q1 and an expense of DKK 39 million in Q2900 – there was an income of 750 of DKK 69 million for DKK 11 million for retail customers, an income 600expense of DKK 96 million business customers ex. agriculture and an 450 for agriculture.

Impairment DKKM

The overall positive trends for both retail and business customers reflect the continued improvement of macroeconomic conditions, which have resulted in a lower inflow of impairment exposures and better performance of loans already flagged as having weak credit quality. In the agricultural sector, however, the period was characterised by lower pork prices and more difficult conditions for plant cultivation. Against that background, loan impairment charges for the agricultural sector came to DKK 96 million, of which DKK 40 million is reserved for an anticipated higher liquidity requirement in Q3 for customers for which objective evidence of impairment has been established.

Individual impairment charges (stage 3) amounted to DKK 1,518 million at 30 June 2018, while stage 1 and 2 impairments totalled DKK 376 million. The Group’s loans, advances and guarantees *) Breakdown by industry Loans and guarantees

PROFIT BEFORE TAX OF DKK 722 MILLION AND NET PROFIT OF DKK 630 MILLION The profit before tax was DKK 722 million against DKK 720 million in H1 2017. The Group’s effective tax rate was 13%, bringing the net profit to DKK 630 million, against DKK 575 million in the same period last year. The very low effective tax rate was due to tax exemption for income relating to both Valueinvest and BankInvest in H1.

Lastly, customers’ custodianship accounts have declined by DKK 2.9 billion, or 6%, since 1 January.

BUSINESS VOLUME GROWING TO DKK 243 BILLION The Group’s total business volume (deposits, loans, advances and guarantees, mortgage credits arranged and customers’ custodianship accounts) amounted to DKK 242.5 billion at 30 June 2018, which was DKK 1.4 billion higher than at 1 January 2018.

Subordinated debt, senior loans and issued bonds due within 12 months are not included in the Bank’s strategic liquidity.

Compared with 1 January 2018, bank and leasing loans rose DKK 1.3 billion, or 3%.

Deposits banking activities

Deposits, banking activities increased by DKK 0.8 billion, or 2%, in H1 while deposits in pooled schemes were unchanged at DKK 15.4 billion.

STRONG CAPITAL POSITION On the capital side, Spar Nord pursues the goal of having a common equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 13.0% and an own funds ratio of 16.5%. In connection with the expected assignment of SIFI status (beginning of 2019), Spar Nord expects to raise these targets to 13.5% and 17.5%. At 30 June 2018, the common equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio was 14.4%, while the own funds ratio was 18.9%. This should be viewed relative to the individual solvency need calculated by Spar Nord at 9.3% plus the 1.9% combined buffer requirement, as a result of which the total capital requirement is 11.2%. The excess capital coverage, which is calculated at 7.1 percentage points or DKK 3.7 billion, has been reduced by tier 2 capital of DKK 0.3 billion because Spar Nord currently has more tier 2 capital than what may be included in the excess coverage calculation. In H1 2018, as part of ordinary refinancing initiatives, Spar Nord issued new tier 2 capital of DKK 400 million. PHASING IN OF MREL REQUIREMENTS As Spar Nord is expected to be assigned SIFI status, the Bank must comply with the same requirements regarding eligible liabilities (MREL requirements) as other SIFIs. The requirements will be phased in from the beginning of 2019 to the beginning of 2022, and when they are fully phased in, Spar Nord must have total capital of about 30% of the total risk exposure amount. Over the coming years, the phasing in of the new requirements is expected to lead to a need for issuing subordinated capital (senior non-preferred) to the tune of DKK 6 billion. The first issues are expected to be made in H2 2019, and efforts will be made to ensure an even distribution of issues during the period until the MREL requirements enter into force.

IRB PROJECT STATUS As described in Annual Report 2017, Spar Nord has, among other things due to the expected assignment of SIFI status, resolved to launch a project to facilitate the transition to internal ratings-based models for calculating risk. The preparatory work is progressing according to plan, and Spar Nord has an ambition of transitioning to IRB Advanced for the entire loan portfolio. The time schedule and expected effects are unchanged from the disclosures in our annual report. THE SUPERVISORY AUTHORITY DIAMOND TEST MODEL The Supervisory Authority Diamond Test Model lists a number of reference points stipulating what can basically be considered a financial institution with an increased risk profile. Violations of the principles contained in the Supervisory Authority Diamond Test Model are subject to supervisory reactions by the Danish FSA. At 30 June 2018, Spar Nord was comfortably within all threshold values in the Supervisory Authority Diamond Test Model. At 30 June 2018, Spar Nord could report the following values in respect of the defined reference points:

OUTLOOK FOR 2018 At the beginning of 2018, Spar Nord forecast core earnings before impairment around the DKK 1.1 billion mark and a net profit of around DKK 0.8 billion. As a result of information on non-recurring income from market value adjustments of BankInvest in Q1 and sales proceeds from Valueinvest Asset Management SA in Q2, Spar Nord upgraded its guidance twice in Q1 for a profit before impairment for the full-year 2018 from “about DKK 1.1 billion” to “about DKK 1.3 billion”. On the basis of the overall financial performance for H1, Spar Nord retains this guidance. The net profit for the year after the two upgrades is still expected to be around DKK 1.0 billion.

Alternative performance

11

measures

Alternative performance measures Spar Nord’s Management believes that the alternative performance measures (APMs) used in the Management’s review provide valuable information to readers of the financial statements. The APMs provide a more consistent basis for comparing the results of financial periods and for assessing the performance of the Group. They are also an important aspect of the way in which Spar Nord’s Management defines operating targets and monitors performance. Throughout the Management’s review, performance is assessed on the basis of the financial highlights and segment reporting, which represent the financial information regularly provided to Management. The differences between the financial highlights and the IFRS financial statements relate only to certain changes in the presentation. There are no adjusting items, which means that net profit is the same in the financial highlights and in the IFRS income statement. A reconciliation of the correlation between core income in the management commentary and the IFRS financial statements is shown in note 3 Segment information. Return on equity before tax, excl. additional tier 1 (AT1) capital

Return on equity after tax excl. additional tier 1 (AT1) capital

Cost share of core income Cost share of core income - incl. loan impairment charges

Loans and advances plus impairment account and discount hereon as % of deposits Loans and advances relative to shareholders’ equity

Spar Nord uses core earnings as a performance measure. From 2018, there is no difference between “Core earnings before impairment” in the core earnings format and “Profit/loss before loan impairment charges” in the IFRS financial statements, as there is no discount on commitments taken over. In the core earnings format, the recognised share of discount on commitments taken over was previously presented together with loan impairment charges, etc., whereas in the IFRS financial statements it was included in interest income. In previous years, other items in the core earnings format comprised contributions to sector-wide solutions and special merger-related items. Defined below are the additional key indicators shown on page 4 of the management commentary and in the other sections of the management commentary.

Profit/loss before tax in per cent of shareholders’ equity. The average equity is calculated as a simple average of the shareholders’ equity at the beginning of the year and at the end of the year. Profit/loss before tax and shareholders’ equity are calculated as if the additional tier 1 (AT1) capital were treated as a liability. Profit/loss after tax in per cent of shareholders’ equity. The average equity is calculated as a simple average of the shareholders’ equity at the beginning of the year and at the end of the year. Profit/loss after tax and shareholders’ equity are calculated as if the additional tier 1 (AT1) capital were treated as a liability. Total costs/core income.

Management’s statement on the Interim Report

Management’s statement on the Interim Report

The Board of Directors and the Executive Board have today discussed and adopted the Interim Financial Statements of Spar Nord Bank for the period from 1 January to 30 June 2018.

EXECUTIVE BOARD

Lasse Nyby Chief Executive Officer

The Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are presented in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”, as adopted by the EU. Moreover, the Interim Financial Statements are presented in accordance with additional Danish disclosure requirements regarding interim financial statements of listed financial institutions. The interim financial statements are unaudited and have not been reviewed, but the external auditor has verified the profit. This verification included procedures consistent with the requirements relating to a review. Hence, it was ascertained that the conditions for ongoing recognition of the profit for the period in own funds were met. In our opinion, the Interim Financial Statements give a true and fair view of the Group’s and Parent Company’s financial position at 30 June 2018 and of the results of the Group’s and Parent Company’s operations and the Group’s cash flows for the period from 1 January to 30 June 2018. In addition, we consider the Management’s review to give a fair presentation of the development in the Group’s and Parent Company’s activities and financial affairs as well as a description of the significant risks and elements of uncertainty that may affect the Group or Parent Company.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES The interim report is presented in accordance with IAS 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”, as adopted by the EU, and additional Danish disclosure requirements for interim reports. The application of IAS 34 means that the presentation is limited relative to the presentation of an annual report and that the recognition and measurement principles of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) have been applied. Other than as set out below, the accounting policies are unchanged from those applied in Annual Report 2017. Annual Report 2017 contains the full description of the accounting policies. Figures in the interim report are presented in millions of Danish kroner, unless otherwise stated. Consequently, rounding differences may occur because grand totals are rounded and the underlying decimal places are not shown to the reader.

1.1

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES The following amendments to IFRS were implemented effective 1 January 2018: l IFRS 9 Financial instruments l IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers Of these, only IFRS 9 has affected recognition and measurement in the interim report. Shown below is the impact in connection with the transition at 1 January 2018.

1.1.1

Impact of IFRS 9 IFRS 9 ”Financial Instruments”, which replaces IAS 39, changes the classification and related measurement of certain financial assets and liabilities and, to some extent, the rules on hedge accounting. The standard is effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2018, from which date Spar Nord is going to implement it. In accordance with the transition requirements of IFRS 9, comparative figures are not restated as retrospective application of the impairment requirements is not possible without the use of hindsight. The accounting impact is shown below:

*) Recognised in retained earnings in shareholders’ equity at 01.01.18. As shown, the changed method for determining credit losses is estimated to result in an increase of the Bank’s impairment losses and provisions at 01.01.18 of DKK 250 million. Reduced by the tax impact of 22 per cent, this equals a one-off effect of DKK -195 million, or a reduction in shareholders’ equity of 2.4% The effect after tax has been recognised as a reduction of shareholders’ equity at 01.01.18.

General provisions in IFRS 9 on classification and measurement In accordance with IFRS 9, a more logical approach to classification and measurement of financial assets is introduced, driven by Spar Nord’s business model and the underlying contractual cash flows related to the characteristics of the financial assets: l Amortised cost l Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) l Fair value through profit or loss (FVPL) Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets held with the objective of collecting contractual cash flows, and where the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, are measured at amortised cost. Spar Nord’s loans and advances at amortised cost and receivables from credit institutions are part of this classification. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets held within a combined business model where some financial assets are held with the objective of collecting contractual cash flows and other financial assets are held with the objective of selling before expiry, and where the contractual cash flows from the financial assets in the combined business model are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. When the financial asset is derecognised in the balance sheet, the cumulative gains and losses recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to the income statement. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets that do not meet the above-mentioned business model criteria, or where the contractual cash flows are not solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, are measured at fair value through profit or loss. This residual category includes financial assets held for trading. The use of the IFRS 9 measurement categories for financial assets on the basis of the business model and on the basis of the contractual cash flows characteristics has led to insignificant changes in measurement principles relative to those applied in Spar Nord’s 2017 Annual Report. The principles applicable to financial liabilities are largely unchanged from IAS 39. Generally, financial liabilities are still measured at amortised cost with bifurcation of embedded derivatives not closely related to a host contract. Financial liabilities recognised at fair value consist of derivatives and the trading book. Impairment model IFRS 9 introduces a new model for impairment of certain financial assets, stipulating that impairments must be recognised for expected credit losses for all financial assets recognised at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, lease receivables and certain loan commitments and financial guarantees. For financial assets recognised at amortised cost, the impairment for expected credit losses is recognised in the income statement and set off against the asset in the balance sheet. However, on loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts impairments are recognised as a liability. The above impairment model implies that impairment losses must be recognised on all Spar Nord’s credit exposures measured at amortised cost based on statistically expected credit losses (“expected loss” model). Based on the previous rules, impairment losses were not recognised until there was objective evidence of impairment (“incurred loss” model). In addition, forward-looking information will be taken into consideration. Under the new expected loss model, on initial recognition of a financial asset, a loss allowance will be recognised in an amount equivalent to the 12-month expected credit losses (stage 1). If, on measurement subsequent to initial recognition, the credit risk increases significantly, a loss allowance will be recognised in an amount equivalent to the lifetime expected credit losses of the asset (stage 2). Where it is established that the asset is credit-impaired (stage 3), a loss allowance will be recognised in an amount equivalent to the lifetime expected credit losses of the asset, while revenue will be recognised in the income statement using the effective interest method relative to the recognised impairment loss.. The classification into stages and the calculation of expected credit losses are largely based on Spar Nord’s rating models. The expected credit loss is measured for each facility. Newly developed impairment models support the calculation of expected credit losses based on loss ratios and the concepts of PD (Probability-of-Default), LGD (Loss-Given-Default) and EAD (Exposure-at-Default). The calculation of the expected credit losses on exposures in stages 1 and 2 is based on a model calculation, whereas the calculation in respect of exposures from the weak part of stage 2 as well as stage 3 exposures is made as a combination of an individual assessment and a modal calculation. For the above exposures exceeding DKK 250,000, the Bank performs an individual assessment of the expected credit losses and the pertaining probabilities. For facilities below DKK 250,000, model-based calculations will be used.. The model calculation is based on the Bank’s model, which has been part of the basis for Spar Nord’s credit control for a number of years, supplemented by a macro-economic module, which adjusts the calculated PD values. A smaller, delimited portfolio is classified as being exposed to low credit risk. Exposures to these counterparties are maintained in stage 1.

Spar Nord H1 2018

Notes – Group

21

On transition from stage 1 to stage 2, a substantial increase in the credit risk is defined as follows: The credit risk is assessed based on the development in the customers’ PD level. Accordingly, the credit risk has increased significantly subsequent to initial recognition in the following situations: l A 100% increase in the PD for the expected remaining life of the financial asset and a 0.5 % point increase in the 12-month PD where the 12-month PD was below 1% on initial recognition. l A 100% increase in the PD for the expected remaining life of the financial asset or a 2.0% point increase in the 12-month PD where the 12-month PD was 1% or higher on initial recognition. l The credit quality department oversees changes in the credit quality of exposures and undertakes systematic credit quality control of the credit portfolio. A “weak list” for high-risk customers is used for credit control purposes. If a customer is marked “weak”, the customer’s PD will be re-calculated. l If a financial asset has been in arrears for more than 30 days, the credit risk will be considered to have increased significantly as well. Exposures with customers whose ability to pay shows considerable signs of weakness will be categorised as the weak part of stage 2. Generally, a customer's ability to pay in this category shows a PD that exceeds 5.0 per cent. The prospective information which is part of the calculation of expected losses is based on macroeconomic forecasts. The model is structured around a number of regression models determining the historical correlation between default and a number of explanatory macroeconomic variables such as unemployment, GDP, house price trends, industry indices, etc. Stress scenarios are used as the underlying basis for calculating the weighed expected losses. Macroeconomic scenarios are created: worst case, base case, best case, including an assessment of the probability for each scenario. The scenarios are approved by the Credit Committee with the involvement of specialists. An exposure to a counterparty is considered to have defaulted if l The counterparty’s exposures are credit-impaired, and the counterparty is not considered to be able to settle its credit liabilities as agreed. l The counterparty's liabilities have been put on hold, or significantly relaxed terms have been granted with respect to interest rate, repayment profile or respite l The counterparty’s exposure has for a long period of time (90 days) been in arrears or overdrawn and the amount concerned is considered to be significant. The lifetime expected credit losses cover the expected remaining lifetime of the facility. For most facilities, the expected lifetime is limited to the remaining contractual maturity, however, capped at five years. For facilities comprising both a loan and an undrawn loan commitment, Spar Nord’s exposure to credit losses is not limited to the contractual notice period. For such facilities, the expected lifetime is assumed to be the period during which Spar Nord expects to be exposed to credit losses. For facilities, for which the expected lifetime is longer than the remaining contractual maturity, an expected maturity of one year has been applied. This includes for example credit cards and overdraft facilities. All impairments will be allocated to individual impairments and Spar Nord will cease to recognise collective impairments under IFRS 9. Existing collective impairments aimed at capturing specific high-risk areas are incorporated as forward-looking elements and used in the expected credit losses of the individual exposures. Hedge accounting The new rules on hedge accounting widen the scope for hedge accounting in order to align business entities’ financial reporting with its actual risk management. As Spar Nord has not adopted the changed rules on hedge accounting, they do not affect Spar Nord’s financial reporting. Capital phasing in As Spar Nord has decided to adopt the transition rules according to CRD, any adverse impact of the IFRS 9 impairment rules will not take full effect on the capital base until after five years. The impact of IFRS 9 on Spar Nord’s own funds was DKK 10 million when the rules became effective on 1 January 2018, while the impact on the own funds going forward will be slightly adverse as the transition rules are being phased out.

1.1.2

Impact of IFRS 15 IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers replaces existing revenue standards (IAS 11 and 18) and relevant interpretations. IFRS 15 introduces a new model for recognition and measurement of revenue concerning sales contracts with customers. The new model comprises five steps that must be applied to all contracts with customers to determine when and how revenue is to be recognised in the income statement. The standard does not change the recognition and measurement of Spar Nord’s sales contracts with customers and will therefore not have any impact.

1.2

Information about standards not yet effective IFRS 16 – Leasing IFRS 16 Leasing, which is approved by the EU, is effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The standard changes the accounting for those leases which are today treated as operating leases. The analysis of the implications of the new standard for Spar Nord has still not been completed. At 30.06.2018, Spar Nord had operating leases with minimum lease liabilities corresponding to maximum 1.0% of the balance sheet total, which are to be recognised in the balance sheet going forward.

JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES Measuring certain assets and liabilities requires Management to make an estimate of how future events will affect the value of such assets and liabilities. Estimates considered material in presenting the financial statements are, among other things, those made when determining loan impairments, the fair values of unlisted financial instruments as well as provisions. The applied estimates are based on assumptions deemed reasonable by Management but which are inherently uncertain. In the presentation of the condensed Interim Financial Statements, the critical judgments made by Management in the application of the Group’s accounting policies, and the considerable uncertainty related thereto, are identical to those applying to the presentation of the Financial Statements at 31 December 2017. However, there have been changes to financial assets and financial liabilities due to the transition to IAS 39 and IFRS 9. See note 1. Significant estimates related to classification and measurement of financial assets, including in particular Spar Nord’s bond portfolio and shares in sector-related companies, concern the use of the fair value option. In accordance with both IAS 39 and IFRS 9, Spar Nord applies the fair value option concerning shares and bonds, where returns are managed and reported consistently for all bonds on a daily, weekly and monthly basis irrespective of trading volume in the individual ISIN codes. Spar Nord’s business model has not been changed, and Spar Nord continues to recognise and measure bonds and shares at fair value through profit or loss.

Reference is made to note 4.5 regarding the Executive Board’s notice of termination and the associated compensation. In addition, the Spar Nord Group has contingent liabilities and other binding agreements corresponding to the relative ownership interest in associates. Spar Nord is taxed jointly with its Danish subsidiary in the Spar Nord Group. As management company, Spar Nord has unlimited, joint and several liability together with the other jointly taxed companies for the Danish corporate income tax payable. Due to the payment of tax on account, no tax was payable at 30.06.2018 and 30.06.2017. The corporate income tax receivable within the group of jointly taxed companies amounted to DKK 172 million at 30.06.2018 (30.06.2017: DKK 24 million; 2017: DKK 45 million). Any adjustments to the taxable income subject to joint taxation might entail an increase in the Parent Company’s liability. Spar Nord has made provisions for a deferred tax liability in respect of recaptured losses related to international joint taxation. The Bank participates in the national restructuring and resolution scheme, with separate contributions being paid to the Guarantee Fund and the Resolution Fund. For both funds, separate target levels have been set, based on the sector’s total deposits that are covered by the guarantee limit of EUR 100,000 (section 9(1) of the Act on a Depositor and Investor Guarantee Scheme). The Guarantee Fund covers customers’ deposits and securities pursuant to the Act on a Depositor and Investor Guarantee Scheme. The Bank’s costs for the Guarantee Fund are calculated based on the Bank’s pro-rata share. In future, the amount of the contribution will be adjusted by an individual risk factor. The Resolution Fund is to be used pursuant to the Act on Restructuring and Resolution of Certain Financial Enterprises for the purpose of covering the associated costs. The Bank’s costs for the Resolution Fund are calculated based on the Bank’s pro-rata share of the sector’s total equity and liabilities less own funds and covered deposits. This contribution will also be adjusted by an individually determined risk factor. The Bank’s costs for the Resolution Fund for 2018 have been included as a pro-rata share of the annual contributions. The Bank’s costs for the Resolution Fund at 30.06.2018 amounted to DKK 4 million (30.06.2017: DKK 4 million, 2017: DKK 8 million.). The amount of the contingent liabilities and the possible due dates are subject to uncertainty.

Miscellaneous is composed of: Lease obligations, with the Group as lessee *) Spar Nord is the lessee in a number of operating leases. Under such leases, Spar Nord has the right of use of an asset for a specific period of time against lease payments without assuming the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset. The leases concern the lease of properties and operating equipment. The leases are not recognised in the balance sheet. The leases represent an amount of DKK 115 million until the legal notice of termination. Data-processing centre Spar Nord has entered into an agreement with BEC a.m.b.a. regarding the provision of IT services. Spar Nord’s membership of BEC a.m.b.a. means that in case of termination of the Bank’s membership, it is liable to pay an exit fee. In addition, a capital contribution to BEC a.m.b.a. has been recognised under Other assets. The Spar Nord Group has no other significant binding agreements. *)

The increase in impairments from IAS 39 to IFRS 9 is explained by the fact that impairments under IFRS 9 must be recognised on all Spar Nord’s credit exposures measured at amortised cost based on statistically expected credit losses (“expected loss” model). Based on the previous rules under IAS 39, impairment losses were not recognised until there was objective evidence of impairment (“incurred loss” model). In future, forward-looking information will be taken into consideration.

The change in portfolio impairments was driven by an increase in gross lending and movements between the stages as illustrated in the table, which is the result of a change in customers’ credit risk. In addition, impairments are affected by impaired macroeconomic factors. The figures concerning newly established and repaid accounts may include administrative movements in which the balance is moved between two accounts for the same customer.

Notes without reference – Group FAIR-VALUE MEASUREMENT OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Financial instruments recognised at fair value The fair value is the amount at which a financial asset can be exchanged between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. If an active market exists, the market price in the form of a listed price or price quotation is used. If a financial instrument is quoted in a market that is not active, the measurement is based on the most recent transaction price. Adjustment is made for subsequent changes in market conditions, for instance by including transactions in similar instruments that are assumed to be motivated by normal business considerations. For a number of financial assets and liabilities, no effective market exists. In such situations, an estimated value is used instead, taking account of recent transactions in similar instruments, and discounted cash flows or other recognised estimation and valuation techniques based on the market terms existing at the balance sheet date. The most frequently used valuation models and estimation and valuation techniques include the pricing of transactions for future settlement and swap models that apply present value calculations, credit pricing models as well as option models, such as Black & Scholes models. In most cases, the valuation is largely based on observable input. Unlisted shares recorded at fair value comprise unlisted shares that are not included in the Group’s trading portfolio. These unlisted shares are recognised at fair value, using the Fair Value Option (FVO), and are measured in accordance with provisions in shareholders’ agreements and generally accepted valuation methods, etc. As regards derivative instruments with a positive fair value, the Bank makes a credit valuation adjustment (CVA) to allow for changes in the associated credit risk. In addition, fair value adjustments are made of derivative financial instruments based on counter party PD (Probability of Default). The calculation of CVA is based on the customer’s PD (Probability of Default), LGD (Loss Given Default) and EPE (Expected Positive Exposure). In the event that the customer has no external rating, the customer’s PD is based on the Bank’s own credit models. The credit valuation adjustment (CVA) amounted to DKK 3 million at 30.06.2018 (30.06.2017: DKK 4 million; end-2017: DKK 4 million).

Bonds, assets linked to pooled schemes, derivative financial instruments and other non-derivative financial liabilities are valued according to the following principles: - In case of quoted prices, the fair value is fixed as a quoted price or a price quotation by a recognised exchange or another external party. - In case of pricing based on observable inputs, the fair value is calculated by means of a market-based yield curve plus/minus a credit spread, which is also calculated based on market prices. - In case of pricing based on non-observable inputs, the calculation includes inputs based on the Bank’s own valuations of individual components, and also market data in some cases. Shares are valued according to the following principles: - In case of quoted prices, the fair value is fixed as a price quoted by a recognised exchange or an external party. - In case of pricing based on observable inputs, the fair value is calculated based on available prices for shares that are not listed. - In case of pricing based on non-observable inputs, the calculation includes shares valued according to generally accepted valuation principles, e.g., the discounting of expected future cash flows, market expectations as to required rate of return on equity and comparable transactions. Shares that are priced on the basis of the prices recommended by Lokale Pengeinstitutter (the Association of Local Banks, Savings Banks and Cooperative Banks in Denmark) are included as non-observable inputs. The fair values are based on shareholders’ agreements for the individual companies and share transactions completed. The fair value is often based on the companies’ book equity (intrinsic value), which is used as a basis for the transaction price between shareholders. The fair value has been reliably measured for all shares, and accordingly no shares have been recognised at cost. If an instrument is classified differently at the reporting date as compared to the beginning of the financial year, it is transferred to another category in the valuation hierarchy. Any reclassification is considered to have been made as of the reporting date. In 2018, assets recognised under positive fair value of derivative financial instruments were transferred observable inputs (Level 2) to non-observable inputs (Level 3). The adjustment to fair value is recognised in market value adjustments.

The Parent Company applies the same accounting policies as the Group. The difference between the profit or loss in the Group and in the Parent Company is due to properties being classified as investment properties in subsidiaries and as domicile properties in the Group. The difference consists of depreciation on such properties. See below.

The capital adequacy calculation for H1 2017 is exclusive of recognition of profit/loss for the period. *) Including portfolio of own bonds As Spar Nord has adopted the transition rules according to CRD, any adverse impact of the IFRS 9 impairment rules will not take full effect on the capital base until after five years. Spar Nord has calculated the negative impact of IFRS 9 on own funds at DKK 10 million on entry into force of the rules at 01.01.2018.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES The interim report is presented in accordance with IAS 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”, as adopted by the EU, and additional Danish disclosure requirements for interim reports. The application of IAS 34 means that the presentation is limited relative to the presentation of an annual report and that the recognition and measurement principles of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) have been applied. Other than as set out below, the accounting policies are unchanged from those applied in Annual Report 2017. Annual Report 2017 contains the full description of the accounting policies. Figures in the interim report are presented in millions of Danish kroner, unless otherwise stated. Consequently, rounding differences may occur because grand totals are rounded and the underlying decimal places are not shown to the reader.

1.1

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES The following amendments to IFRS were implemented effective 1 January 2018: l IFRS 9 Financial instruments l IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers Of these, only IFRS 9 has affected recognition and measurement in the interim report. For a description of the effect in connection with the transition to IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 at 1 January 2018, please see the Group's accounting policies in note 1.

Miscellaneous is composed of: Lease obligations, with the Parent as lessee *) Spar Nord is the lessee in a number of operating leases. Under such leases, Spar Nord has the right of use of an asset for a specific period of time against lease payments without assuming the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset. The leases concern the lease of properties and operating equipment. The leases are not recognised in the balance sheet. The leases represent an amount of DKK 132 million until the legal notice of termination. Data-processing centre Spar Nord has entered into an agreement with Bankernes EDB Central a.m.b.a. regarding the provision of IT services. Spar Nord’s membership means that in case of termination of the Bank’s membership, it is liable to pay an exit fee. In addition, a capital contribution to Bankernes EDB Central a.m.b.a. has been recognized under Other assets. The Spar Nord Group has no other significant binding agreements. *) According to the most recent annual report.

The increase in impairments from IAS 39 to IFRS 9 is explained by the fact that impairments under IFRS 9 must be recognised on all Spar Nord’s credit exposures measured at amortised cost based on statistically expected credit losses (“expected loss” model). Based on the previous rules under IAS 39, impairment losses were not recognised until there was objective evidence of impairment (“incurred loss” model). In future, forward-looking information will be taken into consideration.

The change in portfolio impairments was driven by an increase in gross lending and movements between the stages as illustrated in the table, which is the result of a change in customers’ credit risk. In addition, impairments are affected by impaired macroeconomic factors. The figures concerning newly established and repaid accounts may include administrative movements in which the balance is moved between two accounts for the same customer.
