OP-Mortgage Bank. Interim Report for January 1 March

Transcription

1 OP-Mortgage Bank Interim Report for January 1 March OP Mortgage Bank's (OPA) loan portfolio decreased from EUR 1,531 million on 31 December to EUR 1,481 million on 31March 2008, since the amount of new housing loans granted directly from OPA's balance sheet to customers was lower than the total amount of repaid loans. During the reporting period, OPA neither issued covered bonds nor purchased housing loans from OP- Pohjola Group member banks to be recognised in OPA's balance sheet. The bank has no nonperforming or zero-interest receivables, nor did it recognise any impairment losses on loans. Earnings before tax for January-March increased to EUR 1006 thousand (945) 1. Improvements in net interest income and earnings were due to growth in the loan portfolio.

Net commissions and fees were negative, as in the previous year, with commission income increasing to EUR 113 thousand (68) and commission expenses to EUR 1,332 thousand (548). Commission expenses stem mainly from commissions paid to OP-Pohjola Group member banks for servicing housing loans. In the review period, the banks expenses rose to EUR 316 (148) due largely to risk management and ICT services purchased from the OP Bank Group Central Cooperative and its Group companies. 1 For balance sheet and other cross-sectional figures, the point of comparison is the figure at the previous balance sheet date (31 December 2007). For income statement and other cumulative figures, the point of comparison is the figure for the January March period in the previous year. 1

The loan portfolio decreased from EUR 1,531 million on 31 December to EUR 1,481 million on 31March 2008, since the amount of new housing loans granted directly from OPA's balance sheet to customers was lower than the total amount of repaid loans. On, households accounted for 95 % (94) of the loan portfolio and housing corporations for 5 % (6). The bank had no non-performing or zero-interest receivables, nor did it recognise any impairment losses on loans. The carrying amount of bonds issued to the public totalled EUR 1,054 million (1060) on. In addition to bonds, other funding was based on financing loans granted by Pohjola Bank plc (Pohjola). On, financing loans totalled EUR 346 million (516). Shareholders' equity rose to EUR 64.4 million (63.7). Retained earnings amounted to EUR 4.4 million (3.7) at the end of the review period. OPA has hedged against the interest-rate risk associated with its housing loan portfolio through interest-rate swaps, i.e. base rate cash flows from housing loans to be hedged are swapped to short-term Euribor cash flows. OPA has also swapped the fixed interest rates of the bonds it has issued to short-term variable rates. OPA's interest-rate derivative portfolio totalled EUR 2,565 million (2661). All derivative contracts have been concluded for hedging purposes. Pohjola is the counterparty to all derivative contracts. 2 For balance sheet and other cross-sectional figures, the point of comparison is the figure at the previous balance sheet date (31 December 2007).

3 Capital Adequacy OPA's capital adequacy ratio stood at 12,8 % on. OPA for the first time reports riskweighted assets according to the new capital adequacy rules (Basel II) as of March In 2008 credit risk is calculated according to the standardised approach and the capital requirement for operational risk is calculated using the basic approach. The capital adequacy ratio increased primarily because the home mortgage capital requirement was reduced as the standardised approach (Basel II) was adopted.

Furthermore, intangible assets was also deducted from own funds. Joint Responsibility and Joint Security OPA is a member of OP Bank Group Central Cooperative, which is the central institution of the amalgamation of OP-Pohjola Group. Within the amalgamation, the resources of OP-Pohjola Group secure the operations of all member banks since, according to Chapter 2, Section 3 of the Act on Cooperative Banks and Other Cooperative Credit Institutions, the Central Cooperative and its member credit institutions are jointly and severally responsible for each other s liabilities and commitments that cannot be paid from the funds of the Central Cooperative or the member credit institution in question. In addition to OPA, Central Cooperative members at the end of December 2007 included 229 cooperative banks, Pohjola Bank plc, Helsinki OP Bank plc, and OP-Kotipankki Oyj. Central Cooperative provides its member banks with instructions governing operations to secure liquidity, capital adequacy and risk management, as well as shared accounting policies. However, pursuant to Section 17 of the Act on Mortgage Credit Banks, the holder of a bond with mortgage collateral shall, notwithstanding the liquidation or bankruptcy of a mortgage credit bank, have the right to receive payment, before other claims, for the entire loan period of the bond, in accordance with the contract terms, from the funds entered as collateral for the bond. 3

4 Personnel On, OPA had four permanent employees on an employment contract basis. It purchases all key support services from Central Cooperative and its Group companies, which reduces the need for more staff. Administration The Annual General Meeting held in March confirmed the composition of the new Board of Directors. Mr. Matti Nykänen, was elected as a new member of the Board of Directors, after which the composition of the Board of Directors is as follows: Chairman Harri Nummela Executive Vice President, OP Bank Group Central Cooperative Vice Chairman Mikko Hyttinen Senior Vice President, OP Bank Group Central Cooperative Members Sakari Haapakoski Bank Manager, Oulun Osuuspankki Hanno Hirvinen Executive Vice President, Pohjola Bank plc Heikki Kananen Managing Director, Mäntsälän Osuuspankki Risto Korpela Managing Director, Turun Seudun Osuuspankki Matti Nykänen Senior Vice President, OP Bank Group Central Cooperative Jarmo Viitanen Managing Director, Länsi-Uudenmaan Osuuspankki Mr. Lauri Iloniemi acted as OPA's Managing Director. Prospects for the rest of the year Earnings before tax in 2008 are expected to equal or exceed the 2007 figure. The estimate is based on the assumption that the demand for housing loans will remain good and that there will be no major disturbances on the capital markets. OPA is planning to issue a new bond with real estate collateral to the international capital markets this year. 4
