SYDBANK INTERIM REPORT Q1 2018 2/40 Sydbank s Interim Report Q1 2018 Satisfactory result return on shareholders equity of 14.8% p.a. after tax Sydbank has delivered a satisfactory performance for the first three months of 2018 and maintains a high level of earnings. Core income is at the same high level as in Q1 2017. Trading income is at a satisfactory level. Due to the good credit quality impairment charges were reversed for the 4th consecutive quarter. The Group s loans and advances have effectively dropped by DKK 0.3bn adjusted for the effect of the funding of mortgage-like loans. CEO Karen Frøsig comments on Sydbank s Q1 result: - I am pleased to note continued high and stable earnings. Profit after tax equals a return on shareholders equity of 14.8% p.a. Karen Frøsig elaborates: - The financial health of the Bank s customers is generally good, which means that the need for impairment charges for loans and advances is limited. As a result of the current level of interest rates combined with relatively low demand for new loans and advances as well as keen competition, net interest income continues to be under pressure. But I am very glad that the drop in net interest income has been offset by a rise in other core income, bringing total core income to the level achieved in the same period in 2017. Q1 2018 highlights Profit of DKK 431m equals a return of 14.8% p.a. on shareholders equity after tax. Core income of DKK 1,053m is on a par with the level in the same period in 2017. Impairment charges for loans and advances represent an income of DKK 13m and are DKK 24m lower than in the same period in 2017. Bank loans and advances including funded mortgage-like loans have decreased by DKK 0.3bn, equal to 0.5% compared to year-end 2017. Bank loans and advances excluding funded mortgage-like loans have declined by DKK 0.8bn, equal to 1.2% in Q1 2018. The Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio has decreased by 0.7 percentage points compared to year-end 2017 and constitutes 16.6% excluding profit for the period. When including 50% of profit for the period, the Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio stands at 17.0%. A share buy-back programme of DKK 500m was commenced on 21 February 2018. Outlook for 2018 Limited growth is projected for the Danish economy in 2018. Total income is expected to be on a par with the income generated in 2017. Costs (core earnings) are projected to rise slightly in 2018. Impairment charges for 2018 are forecast to be at a low level. The uncertainty surrounding price developments in the agricultural sector may however affect impairment charges. Non-recurring items, net, are expected to represent around DKK 35m. Profit after tax is expected to be in the range of DKK 1,340-1,540m. The outlook is subject to uncertainty and depends among other things on macroeconomic factors.

SYDBANK INTERIM REPORT Q1 2018 5/40 Highlights Continued high credit quality and the sale of ValueInvest ensure a satisfactory result for Q1 2018 Sydbank s financial statements for Q1 show a pre-tax profit of DKK 511m compared with DKK 574m in Q1 2017. The decline is primarily attributable to a drop in investment portfolio earnings of DKK 148m, an improvement in non-recurring items, net of DKK 111m and a decrease in impairment charges of DKK 24m. Blue growth targets: Realise a return on shareholders equity of a minimum of 12% after tax or be in the top 3 of the 6 largest banks Maintain top 3 ranking among the 6 largest banks in terms of customer satisfaction. Profit before tax equals a return on average shareholders equity of 17.6% p.a. Core income, trading income, costs (core earnings) and impairment charges are in line with the expectations announced in the 2017 Annual Report. Non-recurring items in Q1 2018 exceed the expectations presented in the 2017 Annual Report. Net interest etc constitutes DKK 460m compared with DKK 519m in 2017 a decline of DKK 59m. DKK 23m of the decline is attributable to the increase in the extent of funded mortgage-like loans. Core income totals DKK 1,053m, ie unchanged compared with 2017. To ensure further digitization of processes and the establishment of a new mortgage platform, DKK 75m will be allocated in 2018 to optimise IT systems. The amount will be recognised under Non-recurring items. Total income amounts to DKK 1,108m against DKK 1,146m in 2017. Core earnings constitute DKK 418m compared with DKK 444m in 2017 a decrease of DKK 26m. Profit for the period amounts to DKK 431m compared with DKK 447m in 2017 a decline of DKK 16m. Follow-up on the 3-year plan Blue growth The strategy for the 3-year period 2016-2018 is named Blue growth. Blue growth means highquality and profitable banking pure and simple. Status targets These funds cover 3 projects: Optimisation of housing loan processes New mortgage platform Streamlining of credit processes. Customers and employees alike will experience considerable improvements as a result of the projects. Customers in the form of shorter response times and case processing times. Employees in the form of smoother procedures and qualitative improvements. The projects will contribute to developing the Bank as well as make it possible to adjust costs also in the years ahead.

SYDBANK INTERIM REPORT Q1 2018 6/40 Q1 performance Core income totals DKK 1,053m, which is unchanged compared with Q1 2017. The development in core income is mainly attributable to a decrease in net interest income etc and an increase in mortgage credit income and commission etc concerning investment funds and pooled pension plans. The rise in commission etc concerning investment funds and pooled pension plans is due to a revaluation of the shares in BI Holding A/S of DKK 41m. Trading income constitutes DKK 55m in Q1 2018 compared with DKK 93m in the same period in 2017. The income generated in Q1 2018 is in line with expectations at the beginning of 2018. Total income represents DKK 1,108m, a decrease of DKK 38m compared with Q1 2017. At Sydbank costs (core earnings) are a constant focus area and the Bank maintained tight control of costs (core earnings) in Q1, which constituted DKK 703m compared with DKK 691m in 2017 an increase of DKK 12m. Compared with Q1 2017 the Group s impairment charges for loans and advances have declined by DKK 24m to an income of DKK 13m. Together the Group s position-taking and liquidity handling recorded negative investment portfolio earnings of DKK 12m in Q1 2018 compared with earnings of DKK 136m a year ago. Non-recurring items represent an income of DKK 105m compared with an expense of DKK 6m in Q1 2017. The item consists of costs of DKK 5m for process digitization related to Blue growth and the establishment of a new mortgage platform as well as an income of DKK 110m in connection with the sale of the shares in ValueInvest Asset Management S.A. Profit before tax for Q1 2018 amounts to DKK 511m compared with DKK 574m in the same period in 2017. Tax represents DKK 80m, equivalent to an effective tax rate of 15.6%. The low level is due to the fact that the income of DKK 110m and DKK 41m respectively concerning ValueInvest and BI Holding is tax-exempt. Profit for the period amounts to DKK 431m compared with DKK 447m in 2017. Total credit intermediation (DKKbn) 31 Mar 2018 31 Dec 2017 Bank loans and advances 63.5 64.3 Funded mortgage-like loans 10.5 10.0 Arranged mortgage loans Totalkredit 58.3 58.0 Arranged mortgage loans DLR 11.5 11.7 Total 143.8 144.0 Capital The Bank monitors the subordinated capital market regarding Additional Tier 1 capital as well as Tier 2 capital with a view to optimising its capital structure when the timing is believed to be right. The Bank has initiated a share buy-back programme of DKK 500m. The share buyback commenced on 21 February 2018 and will be completed by 31 December 2018. At end-march 363,000 shares worth DKK 84m, made up at the trade date, had been repurchased. The share buyback is part of the capital adjustment to optimise the capital structure in accordance with the Group s capital policy published in the 2017 Annual Report. Outlook for 2018 Limited growth is projected for the Danish economy in 2018. Total income is expected to be on a par with the income generated in 2017. Costs (core earnings) are projected to rise slightly in 2018. Impairment charges for 2018 are forecast to be at a low level. The uncertainty surrounding price developments in the agricultural sector may however affect impairment charges. Non-recurring items, net are expected to represent around DKK 35m. Profit after tax is expected to be in the range of DKK 1,340m-1,540m. The outlook is subject to uncertainty and depends among other things on macroeconomic factors. Credit intermediation In addition to traditional bank loans and advances the Group arranges for mortgage loans from Totalkredit and DLR Kredit. The Group s total credit intermediation comprises bank loans and advances, mortgage-like loans funded by Totalkredit as well as mortgage loans arranged through Totalkredit and DLR Kredit respectively.

Of the reported losses DKK 71m has previously been written down. As a result of IFRS 9, which became effective on 1 January 2018, impairment charges for expected credit losses are recorded as regards all financial assets recognised at amortised cost and similar provisions are made for expected credit losses as regards undrawn credit lines and financial guarantees. Impairment charges for expected credit losses depend on whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and are divided into 3 stages: Stage 1 facilities with no significant increase in credit risk.

Non-recurring items etc, net Non-recurring items etc, net represent an income of DKK 105m compared with an expense of DKK 6m in Q1 2017. The item consists of costs of DKK 5m for process digitization related to Blue growth and the establishment of a new mortgage platform as well as an income of DKK 110m in connection with the sale of the shares in ValueInvest Asset Management S.A. Credit impaired bank loans and advances stage 3 represent 2.9% of total bank loans and advances before impairment charges and 1.2% of total bank loans and advances after impairment charges. Impairment charges concerning credit impaired bank loans and advances as a percentage of credit impaired bank loans and advances at 31 March 2018 stand at 61.6%. In compliance with the transitional provisions comparative figures for 2017 have not been restated. Core earnings Core earnings represent DKK 418m a decrease of DKK 26m or 5.9% compared with the same period in 2017. Investment portfolio earnings Together the Group s position-taking and liquidity handling recorded negative investment portfolio earnings of DKK 12m in Q1 2018 compared with investment portfolio earnings of DKK 136m a year ago. The negative investment portfolio earnings in Q1 2018 are a consequence of widening credit spreads on mortgage bonds as well as a drop in interest rates. The risk continues to be composed so that the Bank will profit from an interest rate increase.

Tax represents DKK 80m, equal to an effective tax rate of 15.6%. The low level is due to the fact that the income of DKK 110m and DKK 41m respectively concerning ValueInvest and BI Holding is tax-exempt. Profit for the period amounts to DKK 431m compared with DKK 447m in 2017. Return Profit for the period equals a return on average shareholders equity of 14.8% p.a. after tax against 15.5% p.a. in Q1 2017. Earnings per share stands at DKK 6.5 compared with DKK 6.4 in 2017. Subsidiaries Ejendomsselskabet recorded a profit after tax of DKK 2m (Q1 2017: DKK 1m). Profit after tax in DiBa A/S and Syd Fund Management A/S represents DKK 6m (Q1 2017: DKK 0m) and DKK 6m (Q1 2017: DKK 4m) respectively. Q1 2018 compared with Q4 2017 Profit before tax for the quarter represents DKK 511m. Compared with Q4 2017 profit before tax reflects: a decline in net interest etc of DKK 13m a rise in core income of DKK 15m a rise in trading income of DKK 19m a rise in costs (core earnings) of DKK 58m unchanged impairment charges for bank loans and advances a decline in core earnings of DKK 24m to DKK 418m investment portfolio earnings of minus DKK 12m (Q4 2017: minus DKK 13m).

SYDBANK INTERIM REPORT Q1 2018 11/40 Capital At 31 March 2018 shareholders equity constitutes DKK 11,349m a decline of DKK 577m since yearend 2017. The change comprises an addition from profit for the period of DKK 431m less actual distribution of DKK 765m and net purchases of own shares etc of DKK 75m as well as the effect of DKK 168m after tax of the amended impairment principles regarding loans and advances etc as a consequence of IFRS 9 taking effect at 1 January 2018. In 2018 the Bank will continue to optimise its capital structure, possibly by issuing subordinated capital and consequently the market for issuing subordinated capital is monitored on an ongoing basis. The Bank has initiated a share buy-back programme of DKK 500m. The share buyback commenced on 21 February 2018 and will be completed by 31 December 2018. At end-march 363,000 shares worth DKK 84m, made up at the trade date, had been repurchased. The share buyback is part of the capital adjustment to optimise the capital structure in accordance with the Group s capital policy published in the 2017 Annual Report.

The graph comprises exposures treated according to IRB. Exposures relating to clients in default are not included in the breakdown of rating categories. Impairment charges for exposures have not been deducted from the exposure. The Group s capital ratio stands at 20.2%, of which the Tier 1 capital ratio represents 17.0% compared with 20.8% and 17.7% respectively at year-end 2017. The Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio stands at 16.6% (31 December 2017: 17.3%). The development in the Group s capital ratio from 31 December 2017 to 31 March 2018 is illustrated below. Capital ratio in Q1 The risk exposure amount represents DKK 57.5bn (year-end 2017: DKK 58.9bn). The change is mainly attributable to a decrease in market risk of DKK 0.5bn and a decline in credit risk of DKK 0.6bn. The development in the gross exposure by rating category at 31 March 2017, 31 December 2017 and 30 September 2017 appears below. Compared with 31 December 2017 the gross exposure by rating category shows a mildly negative development with a slightly declining share in the 4 best rating categories. Profit for the period is not included in the calculation of capital ratios at 31 March 2018. If 50% of profit for the period after tax had been recognised the capital ratios would have been 0.4 percentage points higher. At 31 March 2018 the individual solvency need represents 11.2% (31 December 2017: 11.0%). The parent s capital ratio stands at 19.5%, of which the Tier 1 capital ratio represents 16.4% compared with 20.1% and 17.2% respectively at year-end 2017. The Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio stands at 16.0% (31 December 2017: 16.7%).

SYDBANK INTERIM REPORT Q1 2018 12/40 Capital requirements The Group s capital management is anchored in the Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP), a review conducted to identify risks and determine the individual solvency need. At end-march 2018 the individual solvency need represented 11.2%. The solvency need consists of a minimum capital requirement of 8% under Pillar I and a capital add-on under Pillar II. Approximately 56% of the solvency need must be covered by Common Equity Tier 1 capital, equal to 5.6% of the risk exposure amount. In addition to the solvency need the Group must meet a combined buffer requirement of 2.7% at 31 March 2018. When fully loaded the combined buffer requirement will represent 3.5% bringing the fully loaded CET1 capital ratio requirement to 9.8%.

The Group s exchange rate risk continues to be very low and its equity position modest. Funding and liquidity The guidelines for calculating the Liquidity Coverage Ratio LCR specify a run-off of exposures, while taking into account counterparties, funding size, hedging and duration. Consequently the most stable deposits are favoured relative to large deposits, in particular large deposits from business enterprises and financial counterparties. The Group s LCR constituted 181% at 31 March 2018 (31 December 2017: 176%).

SYDBANK INTERIM REPORT Q1 2018 13/40 Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive The directive, including the bail-in provisions, was implemented in Danish law on 1 June 2015. According to legislation each credit institution must meet a minimum requirement for eligible liabilities (MREL). In March 2018 the Danish FSA set the MREL for Sydbank at 12.4% of the Bank s total liabilities and total capital, equal to 27.3% of the risk exposure amount. The MREL must be met by 1 July 2019. This will result in changes in the Group s capital and funding structure. The general resolution principle for SIFIs is that it should be possible to restructure them and send them back to the market with adequate capitalisation to ensure market confidence. In accordance with this principle the MREL for SIFIs has been set at 2 times the total capital requirement. The MREL must be met with convertible instruments ( contractual bail-in ). The establishment of a resolution fund has commenced. Credit institutions must make contributions to the fund according to their relative size and risk in Denmark. The resolution fund must be established and have assets at its disposal equal to at least 1% of the covered deposits of all Danish credit institutions by 31 December 2024. The Group s contribution to the resolution fund for 2018 is expected to represent DKK 18m. Leverage ratio The CRR/CRD IV rules require credit institutions to calculate, report, monitor and disclose their leverage ratio, which is defined as Tier 1 capital as a percentage of total exposure. The European Commission s proposal for a revision of CRR includes a proposal to introduce a minimum leverage ratio requirement of 3%. The Group s leverage ratio stood at 6.5% at 31 March 2018 (year-end 2017: 6.9%) taking into account the transitional rules. Assuming fully loaded Tier 1 capital under CRR/CRD IV without any refinancing of non-eligible Additional Tier 1 capital, the leverage ratio would be 6.7% (yearend 2017: 6.7%). The introduction of a minimum leverage ratio requirement is not expected to be of significance to the Group. IFRS 9 transitional effect As a result of IFRS 9 taking effect at 1 January 2018 the Group s allowance account was increased by DKK 216m. Following the tax effect of DKK 48m due to the increased allowance account, the Group s shareholders equity has been reduced by DKK 168m at 1 January 2018. To counter an unintended impact on regulatory capital and hence banks possibilities of supporting lending, a transitional arrangement has been adopted so that an adverse impact from the new impairment model will be phased in over a 5-year period. Sydbank has decided to apply the transitional rules. Basel IV On 7 December 2017 the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) published its recommendations for a number of changes to the calculation of the capital requirements for credit institutions. These recommendations are also known as Basel IV. Among other things, Basel IV proposes to constrain the use of internal models and introduce a permanent floor for the risk exposure amount. The recommendations are expected to have a limited impact on the Group s capital. The recommendations must be implemented in the EU before they will apply to Danish institutions. The Group follows developments closely. At present the extent of the changes in relation to the Basel Committee s recommendations to be implemented as EU regulation is unknown. The effective date is expected to be 1 January 2022 on which date the floor requirement is also expected to be implemented, starting at 50% and gradually increasing until finally reaching 72.5% on 1 January 2017. Focus on agriculture In January 2018 SEGES published a forecast for earnings in the agricultural sector in 2017 and 2018. According to the SEGES report, the total operating profit after owners wages etc of full-time farms is expected to rise from a loss of DKK 1.6bn in 2016 to a profit of DKK 4.5bn in 2017. The final earnings figures for 2017 are not yet available but preliminary figures confirm the estimate. The significantly improved prices of pork as well as milk are mainly due to increased demand from China and other Asian countries but also due to larger crops as a result of the agricultural package adopted in 2016. Consequently an average farm is projected to record an operating profit after owners wages of DKK 0.7m as regards milk producers and DKK 1.3m as regards pig producers. Currently settlement prices for pork and milk alike have dropped considerably compared with 2017. As a result a substantial decline in earnings in the agricultural sector is projected for 2018 compared with 2017. The current settlement price for pork is DKK 8.90 per kg. The SEGES forecast from January 2018 estimates an average settlement price of DKK 9.06 per kg in 2018. This means that pig producers can look forward to an unsatisfactory result and for many

SYDBANK INTERIM REPORT Q1 2018 14/40 also a loss in 2018. The break-even price for most pig producers is DKK 9.00-9.50 per kg. The majority of milk producers are expected to break even in 2018. The SEGES forecast from January 2018 estimates an average settlement price of DKK 2.51 per kg milk. At the beginning of 2018 the settlement price for conventional milk was DKK 2.76 per kg. The current settlement price of milk with ARLA is DKK 2.42 per kg. For most milk producers the break-even price is in the range of DKK 2.35-2.60 per kg. According to SEGES crop producers recorded better yields in 2017 than in 2016. However average earnings remain negative after owners wages. And negative earnings after owners wages are also projected for 2018. In other words it still seems that 2018 will be a challenging year for Danish farmers, in particular pig producers, most of whom are currently selling pork at a price lower than the cost price. A breakdown by industry of bank loans and advances to the agricultural sector is shown below. Credit impaired bank loans and advances to agriculture represent DKK 389m at 31 March 2018, equal to 9.4% of total loans and advances to agriculture. Of total loans and advances to agriculture an impairment charge of 14.0% has been recorded at 31 March 2018 against 11.1% at year-end 2017. However the satisfactory earnings for 2017 do not change the fact that the agricultural sector overall has too large debts and is consequently very vulnerable to developments in settlement prices and interest rates. In Q1 2018 individual impairment charges of DKK 43m were recorded on agricultural exposures. Individual impairment charges during the quarter were as expected. The management estimate of DKK 75m remains unchanged at 31 March 2018. 31 Mar 2018 (DKKm) Pig farming Cattle farming Crop production Other agriculture Total loans and advances Loans and advances - stage 1 773 550 829 738 2,890 Loans and advances - stage 2 201 264 219 191 875 Loans and advances - stage 3 - credit impaired 123 147 43 76 389 Bank loans and advances before impairment charges 1,097 961 1,091 1,005 4,154 Impairment of loans and advances - stage 1 3 3 2 2 10 Impairment of loans and advances - stage 2 68 74 43 70 255 Impairment of loans and advances - stage 3 75 99 21 48 243 Management estimates 50 25 - - 75 Total impairment charges for bank loans and advances 196 201 66 120 583 Bank loans and advances after impairment charges 901 760 1,025 885 3,571 Credit impaired as % of bank loans and advances 11.2 15.3 3.9 7.6 9.4 Impairment as % of credit impaired bank loans and advances 61.0 67.3 48.8 63.2 62.5 Impairment as % of bank loans and advances 17.9 20.9 6.0 11.9 14.0 31 Dec 2017 (DKKm) Pig farming Cattle farming Crop production Other agriculture Total loans and advances Bank loans and advances before impairment charges 1,216 1,061 1,110 1,010 4,352 Individual impairment charges 125 128 56 99 408 Management estimates 50 25 - - 75 Bank loans and advances after impairment charges 1,041 863 1,054 911 3,869 Impaired bank loans and advances 256 300 167 177 900 Impaired as % of bank loans and advances 21.1 29.5 15.0 17.5 20.7 Impairment as % of impaired bank loans and advances 48.8 42.7 33.5 55.9 45.3 Impairment as % of bank loans and advances 14.4 15.1 5.0 9.8 11.1
