The profit before tax increased by 24% to DKK 587 million, equivalent to a 21% return on equity at the beginning of the year. This is the best profit in the bank’s history and considered very satisfactory.
The core earnings show an increase of 16% to DKK 522 million, which is thus above the upwardly adjusted DKK 460 - 510 million interval.

Management Report
Core income
The total core income was 8% higher, with an increase from DKK 844 million in 2013 to DKK 907 million in 2014. The bank considers the increase from the 2013 level satisfactory.
Net interest income was DKK 635 million in 2014, an increase of 3% relative to 2013, where net interest income was DKK 615 million.
However, the DKK 20 million increase is an expression of opposing trends. The trend for the average interest margin in 2014 was declining relative to 2013, and the falling trend for the interest margin from 2012 to 2013 thus continued in the financial year. However, this development was more than neutralised with respect to earnings by an increase in the average volumes of loans.
Fees, commissions and foreign exchange income amounted to net DKK 243 million in 2014 against net DKK 212 million in 2013, a 15% increase. The increase is attributable to greater activity and volumes within asset management and pensions and to greater trading activity. A high level of activity within conversion of capital pensions and mortgage loans also had a positive effect on earnings in the second half of 2014. On the other hand, earnings from guarantee commissions fell relative to 2013, the reason being a major drop in finance guarantees provided in the fourth quarter of 2013 resulting from the conversion of a number of these guarantees to loans on the bank’s balance sheet.
The DKK 63 million increase in total core income was affected positively by a once-only income of the order of DKK 10 million in connection with the sale of the bank’s shares in Nets Holding A/S. Corrected for the once-only income, the bank considers the increase in core income satisfactory.
Costs and depreciations
Total costs including depreciations and write-downs on tangible assets were DKK 298 million in 2014 against DKK 273 million last year, an increase of 9%.
Costs for the year include once-only write-downs of DKK 6 million on selected domicile properties. Corrected for these once-only write-downs, the cost increase for the year was 7%. The increase is thus in line with the announcements at the beginning of the year.
The development in the bank’s costs was basically attributable to the employment of additional employees, a general salary increase and the establishment of a Private Banking branch in Aarhus, and there was also an additional expense of just over DKK 1 million in 2014 for the insurance scheme under The Guarantee Fund for Depositors and Investors.
The rate of costs was unchanged relative to last year’s level and was computed at 32.8, which continues to be the lowest in Denmark. A low rate of costs is especially important in periods of difficult economic conditions as this provides a high level of robustness in the bank’s results.
Impairment charges for loans
Impairment charges for loans amounted to DKK 87 million against DKK 120 million in the previous year. The falling trend from 2013 thus continues for impairment charges, which are equivalent to 0.5% of the total average of loans, impairment charges, guarantees and provisions against 0.7% in 2013.
The Danish Financial Supervisory Authority conducted an ordinary inspection of the bank in 2014, concluding on this basis that the credit quality of the bank’s loans portfolio was higher than for comparable institutions, that the total impairment charges were sufficient and that the risks of losses associated with weak exposures were relatively low.
The bank agrees in the Authority’s conclusions and we thus judge that the credit quality of the bank’s loans portfolio is good, and the bank’s customers still appear to be coping better than the average in Denmark in the weak economic period.
On the basis of the above, the bank reversed individual impairment charges on customers in the financial year, but concurrently herewith the bank made a managerial estimate in connection with the calculation of the collective impairment charges, taking into account “early events” which resulted in an increase in the collective impairment charges from DKK 113 million at the end of 2013 to DKK 226 million at the end of 2014.
The increased collective impairment charges are mainly related to exposure to animal production in the bank’s agricultural portfolio. Circumstances such as the Russian import restrictions on pork meat and dairy products as a consequence of the Ukraine crisis and the falling demand for milk powder in China created a global imbalance between supply and demand in 2014 with a resulting impact on the prices to producers of both pork meat and milk. This entailed terms of trade for the products in question which are today out of step.
The exposure to animal production accounts for 4.2% of the bank’s total loans and guarantees. Individual impairment charges on cattle and pig farms totalled DKK 239 million and collective impairment charges totalled DKK 150 million, and the total impairment ratio was 34% at the end of 2014. Given the difficulties experienced in animal production, the bank is today satisfied with the fact that its farmers are less indebted than the average in the sector, and we feel comfortable with the current impairment charge level.
The bank’s total account for impairment charges and provisions was DKK 931 million at the end of the year, equivalent to 5.0% of total loans and guarantees.
Actual losses and write-offs on loans etc. continue to be low, and with deduction of the items “Interest on the impaired part of loans” and “Receivables previously written off”, the year’s actual net loss was only DKK 9 million such that the total account for impairment charges and provisions increased by net DKK 78 million during the year.
The portfolio of loans with suspended calculation of interest amounts to DKK 58 million, equivalent to 0.3% of the bank’s total loans and guarantees at the end of the year.
As a result of the expectations for a slight economic improvement and thus a foreseeable natural development in the economic cycle, total impairment charges in 2015 are expected to be at a lower level than in 2014.

The core earnings were DKK 522 million against DKK 451 million last year, an increase of 16% and the best ever for the bank. The core earnings were thus above the upwardly adjusted interval of DKK 450 - 510 million.
Result for the portfolio and market risk
The result for portfolio for 2014 was DKK 65 million including funding costs for the portfolio.
The general level of interest rates declined and the credit spreads continued to narrow in 2014, and although the bank’s market risks are kept at a low level, the decline in interest rates and the development in credit spreads contributed to creating positive result for portfolio.
The bank’s holding of shares etc. at the end of the year amounted to DKK 284 million, DKK 41 million of which was in listed shares etc., while DKK 243 million was in sector shares etc. The bond portfolio amounted to DKK 4,659 million, and the majority of the portfolio consists of AAA-rated Danish mortgage credit bonds and short-term bank bonds issued by rated counterparties.
The total interest rate risk - computed as the impact on the profit of a one percentage point change in the interest level - was 1.2% of the bank’s Tier 1 capital at the end of the year.
The bank’s total market risk within exposures to interest rate risk, listed shares etc. and foreign currency remains at a low level, and this policy will continue.
The bank’s risk of losses calculated on the basis of a Value at Risk model (computed with a 10-day horizon and 99% probability) was as follows in 2014:
Risk in DKK million |
Risk relative to equity end of year in % |
|
Highest risk of loss: Lowest risk of loss: Average risk of loss: |
11.2 3.1 6.7 |
0.36% 0.10% 0.22% |
Result after tax
The profit before tax was DKK 587 million. The profit after tax of DKK 141 million was DKK 446 million against last year’s DKK 358 million.
The profit before and after tax is equivalent to a return on equity at the beginning of the year after payment of dividend of 21% and 16% respectively.
Balance sheet
The bank’s balance sheet total at the end of the year was DKK 21,238 million against last year’s DKK 19,583 million.
Deposits increased by 9% from DKK 14,114 million at the end of 2013 to DKK 15,450 million at the end of 2014.
The bank’s loans increased by 12% from DKK 13,849 million to DKK 15,507 million at the end of the year. The loans figure for 2014 includes reverse transactions to a total of DKK 583 million, and the increase in the bank’s loans excluding these transactions was 8% for the year.
The growth in the bank’s loans is broadly based on sectors with growth from both the branch network and the bank’s niche concepts, and comes from new customers. The bank’s goal of realising growth in loans via an organic growth strategy was thus also successful in 2014.
The bank’s portfolio of guarantees at the end of the year was DKK 2,218 million against DKK 1,902 million in 2013. The portfolio of guarantees was extraordinarily high at the end of 2014 as a result of a high level of activity within conversions.
Liquidity
The bank’s liquidity is good, and the excess liquidity relative to the statutory requirement is 141%. The bank’s short-term funding with term to maturity of less than 12 months amounts to DKK 1.2 billion, balanced by DKK 5.0 billion in short-term money market placings, primarily in Danish banks and liquid securities. The bank is thus not dependent on the short-term money market.
During 2014, the bank entered into long-term funding agreements with its partners to the equivalent value of a total of DKK 1.3 billion with an average term of 6.4 years.
The bank’s deposits were DKK 526 million greater than loans at the end of the year excluding reverse transactions, and the loans portfolio is thus more than fully financed by the bank’s deposits and equity. In addition, part of loans portfolio for wind turbines in Germany was refinanced back-to-back with KfW Bankengruppe, and DKK 1,081 million can thus be disregarded in terms of liquidity.
The bank thus requires no financing for the coming year to meet the minimum requirement that it must always be able to manage for up to 12 months without access to the financial markets.
New liquidity regulations will come into force with effect from 1 October 2015, viz. the so-called LCR (Liquidity Coverage Ratio) key figure. The key figure will show the ability of banks to honour their payment obligations for a 30-day period without access to market funds, and the key figure will subsequently replace the current Section 152 liquidity key figure. The key figure is computed by proportioning the bank’s cash and cash equivalents / liquid assets to its payment obligations for the next 30 days as computed in accordance with specific rules.
Non SIFI banks must have a cover of minimum 60% on 1 October 2015, gradually increasing by 10% on 1 January 2016 and 1 January 2017 and by 20% on 1 January 2018 such that the key figure must be minimum 100% on 1 January 2018. SIFI banks must have a cover of 100% as early as 1 October 2015.
Ringkjøbing Landbobank wishes to follow the rules applying to SIFI banks and it is thus the bank’s target that the LCR key figure should be 100% on 1 October 2015.
The bank’s liquidity is good as stated above, and the bank will be able to meet the target of an LCR of 100% as early as 1 October 2015 by converting approximately DKK 400 million of the present holding of mortgage credit bonds to government bonds. This conversion will negatively affect the bank’s earnings by approximately DKK 1 million.
Dividend and share buy-back programme
The bank’s board of directors will recommend to the general meeting that an ordinary dividend of DKK 26 per share, equivalent to DKK 124 million, be paid for the 2014 financial year. An ordinary dividend of DKK 15 and an extraordinary dividend of DKK 10 per share were paid for the 2013 financial year.
In 2014, 110,000 shares were bought under the share buy-back programme which was adopted at the 2014 annual general meeting. It is recommended to the general meeting that these 110,000 shares be cancelled in connection with a capital reduction, thus reducing the number of shares in the bank from 4,780,000 to 4,670,000.
A proposal will also be made to the general meeting that a new share buy-back programme be established under which shares for up to DKK 145 million can be bought for cancellation at a future general meeting.
Capital
The equity at the beginning of 2014 was DKK 2,901 million. To this must be added the profit for the year, less the dividend paid and the value of the own shares bought, after which the equity at the end of the year was DKK 3,099 million, an increase of 7%.
The bank’s solvency ratio - Tier 2 was computed at 17.5% at the end of 2014 and the Tier 1 capital ratio was also computed at 17.5%.
Capital ratios | 2014 | 2013 | 2012 | 2011 | 2010 |
Core tier 1 capital ratio (excl. hybrid core capital) (%) | 17.5 | 18.7 | 19.6 | 18.3 | 17.1 |
Tier 1 capital ratio (%) | 17.5 | 19.2 | 20.9 | 19.8 | 18.6 |
Solvency ratio - Tier 2 (%) | 17.5 | 20.0 | 22.4 | 21.4 | 22.4 |
Individual solvency requirement (%) | 8.9 | 8.9 | 8.0 | 8.0 | 8.0 |
With effect from 2014, capital ratios are calculated according to the new CRD IV directive. The new rules include inter alia the introduction of a phasing out arrangement for inclusion of the hybrid core capital and subordinated loan capital. Changes have also been implemented for the calculation of risk-weighted items, including the weighting and calculation of exposures in default, and a temporary discount on the risk weighting of exposures to certain SME commitments.
In addition, new rules on the calculation of capital have been introduced. These rules mean inter alia that a framework for trading with own shares must be deducted from the bank’s capital base as opposed to previously, when only acquired shares were deducted from the capital base.
The bank calculates the individual solvency requirement on the basis of the so-called 8+ model. The calculation method is based on 8% plus any supplements calculated inter alia for customers with financial problems. The 8+ model takes no account of the bank’s earnings and cost base or its robust business model. Despite this, the bank’s individual solvency requirement at the end of 2014 was calculated at 8.9% - unchanged relative to the end of 2013.
The bank participated in a major sector transaction concerning DLR shares in the fourth quarter. The intention of the transaction was to strengthen DLR’s distribution and competitiveness, partly by easing the solvency strain on banks with this need, and partly by strengthening the owners by including banks which still want a strong mortgage credit institute for the agricultural sector and other businesses. In this connection, the bank acquired shares for the equivalent of DKK 75 million. A five-year call option was also issued to the selling banks. Viewed as a whole, the transaction is attractive.
Good increase in customer numbers
Throughout 2014, the bank continued to carry out various outreach initiatives towards both existing and new customers, including by investing in retention, and further disseminating awareness of the bank at national level and by carrying out various outreach activities in the branch network in Central and West Jutland.
The bank also continued its focus on the Private Banking segment. A new Private Banking branch thus opened in Aarhus on 1 April 2014, and the branch has made a good start.
The bank also increased its staff in the Private Banking branch in Holte with the appointment of a new regional manager on 1 December 2014 to further strengthen our focus on this segment.
All activities and initiatives were performed to create healthy organic growth in the bank, as the biggest challenge in a time of low growth in the community is to create growth in the bank’s top line.
The outreach initiatives contributed to making 2014 the best year in the bank’s history in terms of net increase in new customers in both the branch network and the niche concepts. This covers a record inflow of new customers and a very small outflow of customers. The credit quality of the new customers was highly satisfactory, and it was higher than that of the bank’s existing portfolio.
The outreach initiatives are scheduled to continue in 2015 at both regional and national levels.
Accounting policies and key figures
The accounting policies applied are unchanged relative to the audited annual report presented for 2013.
Expected result and plans for 2015
The bank’s core earnings in 2014 were DKK 522 million, which is above the upwardly adjusted DKK 450 - 510 million interval.
Ringkjøbing Landbobank’s market share is about 50% in that part of West Jutland where the bank’s old branches are located. The bank also has well-established branches in Herning, Holstebro and Viborg which are continuing to operate positively. The bank’s plan is to retain and develop this portion of the customer portfolio with sound and competitive products and with focus on the employees’ expertise and work in advising customers of the options in a changing financial world. In 2015, the bank expects a continuing positive inflow of customers to its branches in Central and West Jutland because of its long-term outreach marketing of the bank and its market position in general.
The activities in the bank’s Distance Customer Department and its niche concepts are also expected to continue to develop positively as a whole in the coming year. Focus will be placed on serving the bank’s current customers and further developing the portfolio within wind turbine financing and medical practitioners.
The bank’s Private Banking branches in Ringkøbing, Herning, Holte and Aarhus have all been successful. We continue to see major opportunities in this segment, and the bank will continue to focus on Private Banking and to provide highly competent and dedicated staff for serving the segment. The bank thus wishes to focus on serving and developing its existing customer portfolio, but also to attract new Private Banking customers.
In the light of the possibilities which the bank currently sees in the market and the activities and initiatives which the bank will perform in 2015, the bank expects an increasing level of activity next year. The bank expects an increase in the level of cost in 2015 of approximately 2% relative to the total costs in 2014, and impairment charges in 2015 are expected to be at a lower level than in 2014.
As a whole, core earnings in 2015 are expected to be in the range DKK 450 - 525 million. To this must be added the profit from the bank’s portfolio of securities.
