How to stay focused? Basel I: Return on Equity CRD/Basel II: Risk adjusted performance measures 2

The four pillars REAL value creation 4 M&A Capital management Financial management Basel II Products and pricing
Product and pricing - Advanced Basel II model gives better pricing Risk weighting of mortgage loans 50% 40% 30% 50% 35% LTV 80% 50/60/80 Concept Margin 0.80% 20% 2%-30% Depending on customer rating 60% 0.60% 10% 50% 0.50% 0% Basel I Foundation Advanced Basel II 0% 0% 5
Same ROAC different prices - Knowledge of risk and pricing parameters very powerful % ROAC = 20% in all cases 1.2 1.0 0.8 0.6 Assumptions, base case: A4 credit quality 5 year loan No collateral Avg. non-interest income (cross selling) 0.4 0.2 0.0 Base case credit risk + 50% collateral +100% cross selling 1 year loan Tw o notch lower risk 6
IRB advanced vs. IRB foundation - Huge differences in competitiveness Bank Nordic Advanced Foundation Loan 1,000 1,000 Margin 0.05% 0.05% Interest income loan 0.50 0.50 Income capital 0.15 0.28 Total income 0.65 0.78 Risk-weight (A2 rated bank) 8.5% 15.3% Allocated capital (6%) 5.10 9.18 Return on equity (pre costs & tax) 12.8% 8.4% CRD will/should imply a significant value creation impact 7
Should risk and return go hand in hand? Do you believe in the concepts of: Information ratio? Sharpe ratio? Beta? 8
Basel II - Will force transparency on REAL value creation ROAC No 1 No 2 No 3 CoC No 4 CoC ROE..you have to allocate the true economic capital 9
Valuation impact could be significant - Traditional multiples are insufficient as they dont include risk P/B 3 Traditional P/B ROE relation how you normally price Too expensive 2 1 Too cheap Modern P/B ROAC relation how you should price 0 0 5 10 10 20 15 20 30 Return 25 10

Stand alone vs. diversification - Size and scope matters Index Economic capital (illustrative) Marginal contribution to a diversified portfolio (Index 100) & Stand alone Danske Markets DB-brand Realkredit (Inv. bank) (Retail bank) Danmark (Mortgage comp) Norway (Retail bank) Sweden (Retail bank) Good questions: What about mono-liners? What about single name concentration? What about geographical diversification? 14

Take-aways CRD is much more than just capital reduction CRD should have significant impact on the pricing of banks First movers in CRD already take commercial and capital management advantages Pricing of loans and product development will increasingly become more risk adjusted and will divide the CRD-players The value of diversification could entice more M&A activity Danske Bank aims to be best in class in regards to CRD 17
