A brief introduction

Nordjyske Bank was formed as per 1 January 2002 through a merger of Vendsyssel Bank, Hjørring, (est. 1929) and Egnsbank Nord, Frederikshavn, established in 1970 as a merger of four local banks in the area, the oldest of which was founded in 1891. As per 1 April 2009 the bank accquired the core activities of Løkken Sparekasse situated on the west coast of Northern Jutland. On 1 January 2010 Nordjyske Bank further increased its coverage in Northern Jutland through a merger with Øster Brønderslev Sparekasse.

Thus the bank has a long tradition for - and is dedicated to servicing corporate and private customers in the northernmost part of Denmark. With its 20 branches and branch offices in Northern Jutland Nordjyske Bank is a strong locally based bank with close relations to its customers.

Interim report as at 30 september 2011

Pre-tax result of DKK 85 million - before contribution of DKK 19 million to the Danish Deposit Guarantee Fund as a consequence of liquidations within the sector.

  • Net interest earnings of DKK 265 million - unchanged compared with the same period in 2010.
  • Fees and commissions, etc., increased by DKK 2 million net to DKK 77 million.
  • Basic earnings DKK 356 million - compared with DKK 385 million during the same period in 2010, inclusive of DKK 32 million in extraordinary appreciation of sector shares. 
  • Operating costs, etc., DKK 200 million - compared with DKK 199 million in 2010. 
  • Write-downs on lending DKK 68 million - compared with DKK 67 million in 2010. 
  • Pre-tax result of DKK 66 million equals a return on equity of 7.2% p.a.

In the light of the fact that the result is affected adversely by costs of DKK 19 million to the Danish Deposit Guarantee Fund as a consequence of liquidation within the sector (Amagerbanken, Fjordbank Mors, and MaxBank), the bank's management considers the result satisfactory.

Strong and robust - we have a sound capital base and good liquidity

  • The equity amounts to a total of DKK 1,245 million.
  • The capital adequacy ratio has been calculated at 18.7 - based only on equity. 
  • As at 30.09.2011, the bank's individual capital requirement has been calculated at 10.0, i.e. excess capital adequacy cover of almost 90%. 
  • Good liquidity. As at 30.09.2011, the bank has surplus deposits - through deposits from the local area - of almost DKK 400 million, and liquidity reserves of DKK 3.0 billion.

Expectations for 2011 as a whole
For the year as a whole, the bank expects to be able to realise core earnings before write-downs on lending, payments to the Deposit Guarantee Fund and price regulations of listed securities in the range of DKK 190 - 200 million - compared with the previous expectations of DKK 175 - 200 million.
The negative socioeconomic development and the current instability on the financial markets show that the economic crisis is not over. Therefore, the write-downs for the year as a whole are now expected to be larger than previously estimated. Circumstances make it difficult to predict the need, which is expected to be around 1.5% of the total credit risk.
