Outlook for 2010
Nykredit's core earnings before impairment losses are still expected to be 
in the region of DKK 3,500m-4,000m. The development in impairment 
losses on loans and advances and investment portfolio income has exceeded our
forecast made at the beginning of the year. Therefore, 
the forecast for profit before tax for the full year has been revised upwards
to DKK 1.5bn-2.5bn excluding the gain from the sale of Nykredit 
Forsikring of about DKK 1.5bn. Profit before tax will depend on impairment
losses on loans and advances as well as financial market trends in 
general.

Peter Engberg Jensen, Group Chief Executive, has the following comments on 
the results: 
The first six months of 2010 have been characterised by satisfactory progress.
Total lending has grown by DKK 26bn, and income has increased 
12%. Further, costs have declined, and impairment losses on bank lending have
fallen significantly. This development has prompted us 
to increase our forecast of profit before tax to DKK 1.5bn-2.5bn. In addition
to the good financial performance, the merger between Forstædernes 
Bank and Nykredit Bank and the divestment of Nykredit Forsikring have been
completed successfully.
