Nordea Bank Finland Group
Result summary January-June 2009
The first six months of 2009 were characterised by maintained high
income and profit levels despite clearly higher net loan losses.
NBF's total income increased by 9% to EUR 1,520m (1,394) and total
expenses by 8% to EUR 525m (484). (The comparison figures in brackets
refer to the first six months of 2008.)
NBF's operating profit was only slightly lower than in the same
period last year and it amounted to EUR 835m (884). Return on equity
was 11.4% (12.9) and the cost/income ratio 35% (35). Loan losses
amounted to EUR 160m (26). Net profit decreased by 10% to EUR 621m
(689).
Market development in the first half of 2009
The Finnish economy shrank sharply during the first months of the
year. With the advancement of spring, trust in the economy has begun
to increase and share prices have risen. Nevertheless, unemployment
rates are still rising sharply. However, the rise in consumer prices
stopped in the spring. The ECB cut its key rate to 1% in the spring,
which is a record-low level. Long-term interest rates were, however,
on the rise already in the spring.
Income
Total income increased by 9% to EUR 1,520m. The income growth is
driven by volume growth as well as the high activity level in the
customer-driven capital markets operations. Margin pressure in
deposits continued and together with lower interest rates caused the
decline in net interest income. Net interest income totalled EUR 630m
(855). Total lending to the public increased by 1% year-on-year to
EUR 67.4bn. Deposits and borrowings from the public increased by 6%
year-on-year to EUR 45.7bn.
Net commission income decreased by 29% to EUR 104m. Savings-related
commissions decreased due to the decline in assets under management,
lower transaction activity and outflow from high margin products.
Lending-related commissions developed positively following the
centralisation of Trade Finance operations to Finland. Higher payment
and card volumes increased payment and card fees. Commission expenses
increased by 59% mainly as a result of higher transaction volumes and
fees.
Net gains/losses at fair value showed a continued strong increase
during the first half of 2009 and the income increased by 99% to EUR
753m (379). The customer-driven capital markets activities continued
to perform strongly, with high demand within risk management
products.
Profit from companies accounted for under the equity method was
stable and amounted to EUR 1m (1).
Other operating income increased to EUR 32m (13).
Expenses
Total operating expenses increased by 8% and amounted to EUR 525m
(484).
Staff costs increased by 9% to EUR 300m (276) explained by wage
inflation, higher variable salaries and higher pension expenses. The
number of full-time employees decreased by approximately 270
year-on-year.
Other operating expenses totalled EUR 208m (193), up by 8% compared
to last year. The higher activity level increased IT expenses whereas
marketing expenses were lower than in the corresponding period last
year.
Depreciation of tangible and intangible assets increased slightly to
EUR 17m (15).
The cost/income ratio was maintained at 35% in the first half of
2009.
Loan losses
Net loan losses were affected by the sharp economic slowdown in
Finland and the Baltic countries. Net loan losses of EUR 160m (26)
were recorded in the first half year corresponding to a loan loss
ratio of 47 basis points.
Net loan losses as well as impaired loans continue to stem from a
large number of smaller and medium-sized exposures rather than from a
few large exposures.
Throughout this report, "Nordea Bank Finland" and "NBF" refer to the
parent company Nordea Bank Finland Plc, business identity code
1680235-8, with its subsidiaries. The registered office of the
company is in Helsinki. Nordea Bank Finland Plc is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Nordea Bank AB (publ), the listed parent company of the
whole Nordea Group. The business operations of the Nordea Group have
been organised in three customer areas, all of which operate across
national boundaries: Nordic Banking, Private Banking and
Institutional & International Banking. The consolidated interim
report of Nordea Bank AB (publ) embraces all the activities of the
Nordea Group and provides the most complete and fair view. This
statutory interim report covers the operations of the legal entity
Nordea Bank Finland Plc with its subsidiaries.
Taxes
The effective tax rate for the first half of 2009 was approximately
26% compared to 22% in the first half of 2008.
Net profit
Net profit decreased by 10% to EUR 621m (689) corresponding to a
return on equity of 11.4% compared to 12.9% in the first half of last
year.
Balance sheet
(Comparison figures in brackets refer to December 2008 figures)
The total assets of NBF amounted to EUR 207bn (220). The change
mainly reflects a decrease in balance sheet values of derivatives and
a decrease in other assets.
The growth rate of the housing loan stock was 2% in Finland. The
economic downturn has clearly affected the lending growth rate in the
Baltic countries and the housing loan stock was by large at the same
level as in December. Total loans to the public decreased by 1%
compared with the end of 2008. The balance sheet values of
derivatives have decreased mainly due to changes in interest rates.
Deposits and borrowings from the public increased from the year-end
level and amounted to EUR 45.7bn (45.3).
Capital position and capital management
At the end of June, NBF's risk-weighted amounts (RWA) were EUR 73.4bn
excluding transition rules, compared to EUR 73.1bn at year-end 2008
and 73.3bn one year ago. As transition rules no longer had an effect
on RWA, the reported RWA decreased by EUR 8.3bn compared with end
2008 figures.
The Tier 1 ratio was 13.3% and the total capital ratio was 13.8%.
Profit for the period has not been included in Tier 1.
A subordinated loan with the nominal value of EUR 600m was
prematurely paid in March with the permission of FIN-FSA.
Credit portfolio
Total lending was EUR 67.4bn (68.3) at the end of June 2009. The
share of lending to corporate customers was 52%. Lending in the
Baltic countries constitutes 12% of NBF's total lending.
Contracting economies in NBF's home markets have affected impaired
loans and loan losses. Some weakening mainly in the corporate lending
portfolio was seen in the first half of 2009.
Impaired loans gross increased to EUR 1,626m at the end of June 2009
compared to EUR 971m at the end of December 2008. EUR 276m of this
increase is attributable to the Baltic countries. Individually
assessed impaired loans, net, amounted to EUR 1,274m (713)
representing 1.09% of total loans and receivables before allowances.
At year-end 2008 the ratio was 0.61%.
Total allowances in the Baltic countries amounted to EUR 202m, of
which EUR 140m were collective provisions.
Off-balance sheet commitments
The total amount of off-balance sheet commitments increased to EUR
34.2bn (33.7). The increase mainly related to the unutilised portion
of approved overdraft facilities. The volumes of derivatives have
continued to grow and they amounted to EUR 4,314bn (3,781).
Sale of business operations
The business operations of Menox Palvelut Oy were sold at the
beginning of June 2009 to ISS Palvelut Oy. All the approximately 60
employees previously employed by Menox continue in ISS Palvelut
taking care of archiving, distribution and reception services.
Risks and uncertainties
Nordea's revenue base reflects the Group's business with a large and
diversified customer base, comprising household customers, corporate
customers and financial institutions, representing different
geographic areas and industries.
Nordea's main risk exposure is credit risk. The Group also assumes
risks such as market risk, liquidity risk, operational risk and life
insurance risk. For further information on risk composition, see the
Annual Report.
So far, the financial crisis and the deteriorating macroeconomic
situation have not had material impact on Nordea's financial
position. However, the macroeconomic development remains highly
uncertain and the risk has increased for a somewhat higher loan loss
ratio for the full year compared to the first half year, as
communicated in the Outlook on next page.
None of the above exposures and risks is expected to have any
significant adverse effect on the Group or its financial position in
the next six months.
Within the framework of the normal business operations, the Group
faces claims in civil lawsuits and other disputes, most of which
involve relatively limited amounts. None of these disputes are
considered likely to have any significant adverse effect on the Group
or its financial position in the next six months.
Outlook 2009
For 2009, Nordea Group expects risk-adjusted profit, i.e. profit
before loan losses, minus Expected Loss and standard tax, to be
higher than in 2008. In the interim report for the first quarter, the
forecast was an unchanged risk-adjusted profit. NBF is expected to
contribute to this development.
Cost growth in Nordea Group is expected to be slightly lower than in
2008.
Loan loss provisions in Nordea Group in the first half of the year
amounted to 55 basis points, excluding the provision concerning the
contested claim related to the debt restructuring liquidation of
Swiss Air Group in 2001, broadly in line with the Outlook from the
beginning of the year. Since global and Nordic economies have
contracted clearly beyond general expectations at the beginning of
the year, uncertainty concerning how the economic recession will
affect customers' cash flow and filter through into Nordea Group's
lending book has increased. Therefore, the risk has increased for a
somewhat higher loan loss ratio for the full year compared to the
annualised level in the first half of the year.
The effective tax rate of Nordea Group is expected to be approx. 25%.

Notes to the financial statements
Note 1 Accounting policies
NBF's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and
interpretations of such standards by the International Financial
Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), as endorsed by the EU
Commission. In addition, certain rules in the Finnish Accounting Act,
the Finnish Credit Institutions Act, the Financial Supervisory
Authority's regulations and guidelines and the Decree of the Ministry
of Finance on the financial statements and consolidated financial
statements of credit institutions, have also been applied.
These statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34
"Interim Financial Reporting". The interim report is unaudited.
Changed accounting policies and presentation
The accounting policies and basis for calculations are, in all
material aspects, unchanged in comparison with the 2008 Annual
Report.
As of 1 January 2009 the amendments to standards IAS 23 "Borrowing
Costs", IAS 27 "Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements", IAS
32 "Financial Instruments: Presentation" and IFRS 2 "Share-based
Payment" have been implemented. These amendments as well as
"Improvements to IFRSs" and applicable new interpretations have had
no or only an insignificant impact. In addition, the amendment to IAS
1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" and the new standard IFRS 8
"Operating Segments" have had the following impact on the
presentation:
Amendment of IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements"
IASB has amended IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" with
effective date for Nordea as from the first quarter 2009. The main
impact from this amendment is that the "Statement of changes in
equity" has been added and the "Statement of comprehensive income"
relocated to be displayed immediately after the "Income statement".
New standard IFRS 8 "Operating Segments"
IFRS 8 is mandatory for Nordea as from the first quarter 2009. The
IFRS requires identification of operating segments on the basis of
the information regularly reviewed by the entity's chief operating
decision maker (CODM) in order to allocate resources to the segment
and assess its performance. The reportable segments in Nordea have,
mainly as a consequence of the restrictions in the aggregation
criteria, been changed, and a note has been added to comply with the
requirements in the new standard. See note 2 "Segment reporting" for
more information.

Note 2, continued
Basis of segmentation and measurement of segment profit or loss
In November 2006 the IASB issued IFRS 8 "Operating Segments", which
is mandatory for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. IFRS 8
has had an impact on the reportable segments in Nordea, mainly as the
previously aggregated segment Institutional & International Banking
has been divided into three individual reportable segments (New
European Markets, Financial Institutions and Shipping, Oil Services &
International), where New European Markets and Shipping, Oil services
and International are reported separate and Financial Institutions is
included in Other Operating segments. Capital Markets & Savings were
previously included in Other Customer operations but are now, since
it exceeds the thresholds in IFRS 8, reported separate. Other
Operating segments below the quantitative thresholds in IFRS 8 are
included in Other operating segments. Comparative information has
been restated accordingly.
In addition, the measurement of segment profit or loss has been
changed during the first half 2009, as internally developed software
is, as from H1 2009, expensed as incurred in the operating segments,
but capitalised as required by IAS 38 in the entity's balance sheet.
Reportable
Operating
segments
Nordic Banking conducts a full service banking operation. It is
Nordea's largest customer area and serves household customers and
corporate customers in the Nordic markets. The branches within
Nordea's banking activities in the New European Markets offer full
banking services for local and Nordic corporate and personal
customers in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Russia. The
segment Shipping, Oil Services & International is responsible for
Nordea's customers within the shipping, offshore and oil services
industries. Capital Markets & Savings is responsible for all capital
markets and savings products to all customer segments in Nordea.
