1 Investment Research 9 February 2015 Nykredit Bank Q4 14: parent to the rescue as swaps contracts hurt Nykredit Bank s Q4 results dragged on its equity again as interest swap contracts continued to hurt. Parent Nykredit Realkredit remains behind the bank however and has injected DKK2bn of fresh equity. We expect earnings volatility to remain high in the coming period and hence maintain our Marketweight rating. The Q4 results featured another substantial net loss of DKK946m versus a DKK978m net loss in Q3. Once again, fair value adjustments to interest rate swaps were the main reason, with a DKK1,369m negative impact in the quarter, slightly lower than the DKK1,558m hit in Q3. Since 2012, value adjustments to interest rate swaps have cost Nykredit Bank around DKK5.5bn. The bank says that a 1pp increase in interest rates would mean a positive value adjustment of DKK bn. However, given the further fall in the 30Y interest swap rate from c.1.7% at end-q4 to c.1.2% to date, Nykredit Bank looks set to post another big loss in Q1 15. Loan losses stayed relatively low, however, at DKK100m or 47bp of lending annualised (DKK80m or 36bp in Q3). NII fell 3% sequentially despite lending being up by 4.5%. The CET1 ratio dropped to 12.8% following the loss, which is still a reasonable level but far below the 16.1% at end-2013 and the 21% at end As a result, parent company Nykredit Realkredit injected DKK2bn of new equity into the bank on 5 February, which will increase the capitalisation by c2pp, according to Nykredit. This is obviously positive and highlights that the owner is standing behind the bank, and we expect it continue to do so. Nykredit Bank has an internal target for CET1 of a minimum 13%.

Parent Nykredit Realkredit reported a net profit of DKK576m for 2014, down from DKK1,674m in So, despite the poor performance by the bank, the group was still able to post a net profit. Furthermore, 2013 was boosted by a DKK697m one-off gain. Loan losses fell slightly by 15% to DKK2,351m. CET1 fell to 15.4% from 15.8% in 2013 due to higher REA as a result of both market risk and credit risk increasing.
