Good afternoon, everybody, and a warm welcome to this Third Quarter Presentation from the SpareBank 1 Sør-Norge Group. My name is Inge Reinertsen, I'm Group CEO of the company. Together with me, Mr. Eirik Børve Monsen, who is Group CFO, and also Mr. Morten Forgaard, who is Head of Investor Relations. We will give you a brief presentation of the highlights of the third quarter, and then we will hand over the word to you if you have any questions. To begin with our financial targets, we have long-term ambition of delivering at least 14% return on equity. This has been a target for a few quarters now, but what is new this quarter is that we have increased the operational synergies from our merger with the other bank from NOK 300 million up to NOK 450 million. Also, due to the very strong Common Equity Tier 1 ratio, we have increased our dividend policy that former was about 50% to at least 50% in cash. If you flip to the next page, Morten, we have established a share buyback program as a supplement to paying cash dividends, and that would potentially come in addition to a solid cash dividend. This has been a very interesting and nice year from the SpareBank 1 Sør-Norge Group. We have successfully merged both our accounting companies and our real estate broker, as of September this year, we also had a very successful technical merger in the parenting bank. That means that we transferred approximately 350,000 customers and really a lot of data from the other bank to the platform of the former SpareBank 1 SR-Bank. This technical merger put us in a position of working even more with realization of synergies. We have a lot of processes on harmonization of products and work processes. By this, we should be able to increase efficiency and competitiveness even further and also, of course, deliver on the new ambition of the NOK 450 million of synergies. If we look at the environment surrounding us and our market area, we have a benign environment for running a profitable bank. We have a low unemployment rate that has remained low for a long time, both in the regions and in Norway as a country. If we look at our business survey, as you will see in all the relevant regions, the score is above 50, which means that there are more optimists than pessimists, and this should be a good environment for running a profitable bank. Also, if we look further into the oil companies, many might expect the oil price of $65 to be challenging. The Norwegian oil companies, they have adapted to a lower oil price by significantly reducing cost, and still the investments on the Norwegian Continental Shelf remain at a high level. However, we have significantly decreased our exposure to the oil sector, which now accounts for approximately only 2% of our total portfolio. This sector, which of course is still important to Norwegian economy, is also optimistic when it comes to activity, which of course is positive to us as a bank. If we look at our total portfolio now, approximately 50% of that is in the western part of Norway with the counties Vestland and Rogaland. The other 50%, Agder, Oslo, Akershus, and also Telemark, Vestfold and Buskerud and other, stands for the other 50%. This means that the old Sparebanken Rogaland from Stavanger, we have become really a bank for the southern part of Norway with much more diversification with respect to geography, less concentrated in certain industries. Altogether, we have become a very much diversified bank. With the 50 branches, we have a very strong distribution network also taken into consideration that we, together with the other SpareBank 1 banks, we have a state-of-the-art internet banking services. That means that we are very well equipped for running a very efficient bank and also with a very high customer satisfaction due to the combination of our physical presence and state-of-the-art internet services. If we look at the main figures, we delivered a 13% return on equity this quarter, taking into consideration one-off costs related to the merger, which should be the last quarter with significant costs related to the merger, and also goodwill that arised from the merger, the 13% can be compared to a 14% return on equity. Still, impairments are low. 12 basis point this quarter, a tad higher than previous quarter, but we're a very strong underlying credit quality. The lending growth remains high in the retail market, where the total growth in the market is around 4%, and where our growth is at 6.1%. However, a bit lower growth in the large corporate market. If you combine the corporate market and the SME and agriculture, it is approximately 1.0% annual growth. Very large growth on the deposit side. This is, of course, positive to our deposit to loan ratio. It has actually put some pressure on the interest margin as we have had some excess funding capital during the last two quarters. Very high cost efficiency with a low cost to income ratio of 37%. As I mentioned, as the background for the more, the increased dividend policy, our Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio stands at 18.5%, which is 1.0 percentage points above the requirement. Also, with some positive migration when it comes to the requirements that will arise in the fourth quarter. We are very well positioned for a profitable organical lending growth and also a very strong capital distribution to our owners through the cash dividend and also a potential share buyback program. With those highlights, I will hand over to Mr. Eirik Børve Monsen, who will give us some more details on the figures. Please, Eirik? Thank you. In the third quarter this year, we have a pre-tax profit of NOK 2,120 million, which is an increase of NOK 70 million from the previous quarter and an increase of NOK 280 million from third quarter last year. Just remind you that in the third quarter last year, we had a one-off gain related to the merger between Fremtind and Eika Forsikring of which amounted to NOK 577 million. When it comes to net interest income, we have one more interest day in the third quarter compared to the second quarter. Adjusted for that, we have more or less flat, stable development on the net interest income from the second to the third quarter. Increased volume, that increases the net interest income, but that's more or less neutralized by a small reduction in the interest margin, explained by high, excess liquidity in the quarter and also a negative effect, equity effect on the declining interest curve. When it comes to commission and other income, we have a decline from the second quarter to the third quarter of NOK 80 million. This is explained or more than explained by the real estate agent and the accounting business, which have natural seasonality, low, what do you call it? Very low season. Low season. In the third quarter. When it comes to financial investments, we have an increase of NOK 70 million from the second to the third quarter, explained by increase in fair value of the certificate and bond portfolio, and also increase in the fair value of the derivatives, including the basis swaps. Operating expenses, I will come back to on the next slide. When it comes to impairments, as Inge already mentioned, we have NOK 150 million in impairments in this quarter. 88% of this is on the specific loans. Year to date, we have NOK 250 million in impairment, which amounts to 8 basis points. If you then move to operating expenses. We are happy with the development of the operating expenses in this quarter. As you see on the upper right side in the mother bank or parent bank, we have a decline of NOK 12 million in the operating expenses from the second to the third quarter. You also see on the lower right-hand side that we have only a NOK 2 million increase in the operating expenses from the third quarter last year to the third quarter this year. This shows that we have good cost control, and it also shows that we now are starting to see the synergy effects also in the P&L. If you move to the next slides. As already mentioned, we increased synergy ambition from NOK 300 million to NOK 450 million, an increase of 50% or NOK 150 million. Of these NOK 150 million, NOK 100 million is related to the operational synergies. We see that we are able to take out more effect from standardization of the bank products. We have NOK 50 million related to the funding synergy that we see that we are able to take out even more reduction in funding. This is also related to the CP program or certificate program that we are now starting in Europe. When it comes to personal synergies, we are on track reducing FTEs with 100 by the end of next year. We will continue to work to deliver on these goals in the quarters to come. [Arntzen]. Just mention that we have had a successful technical merger, and with this we also now have completed the total merger costs of the NOK 400 million, which we have guided on. This is also now behind us when we end the third quarter. We're also ending the quarter with a solid CET1 capital ratio of 18.5%, with a good margin to the requirements, the minimum requirement of 17.53%. In connection with this year's FRTB process, we also expect by year-end to have a reduction in the Pillar 2 guidance from 1.25% down to 1%, and also the Pillar 2 premium from 1.35% down to 1.13%. Based on this, we believe that we are well positioned for profitable growth and a strong capital distribution. Thank you. With these highlights, we believe that we are well positioned for profitable growth. Of course, there are still some uncertainty in the more international space. So far, Norwegian economy and regional economies have performed well, and also the position of the bank to have a profitable growth should be undoubtedly strong. With these concluding remarks, we will hand word over to you. If you have any questions, please just raise your hand and Mr. Tronvik will give you the word. Please. Tron, you don't see any raised hands from your side? No, I don't. There's still a chance-- There is a question from-- Yeah. Thomas Svendsen. Thomas Svendsen. Yeah. Yes. Hi. Good afternoon. On, on market shares and gaining market shares, what are your thoughts in the corporate segment there, for opportunity to gain market shares over the next two-three years? We are definitely very well positioned with both the position as a bank and also our jointly owned investment banking company, SB1 Markets, that now has become a Nordic company. We should be well positioned for benefiting from each other's positions. We believe that the growth in the corporate sector also will pick up again. If not, we are of course, in a position where we can reduce cost even further if it's necessary to kind of take down the capacity with respect to full-time employees. Okay. Thank you. Thank you, Thomas. Anyone else, please? Yes. Here's a question from Herman Zahl. Please, Herman. Yes. Thank you. The capital position seemed to be a bit stronger than expected this quarter. Just given your new and updated Pillar 2 requirements by year-end, what's sort of your desired capital level? Do you seek to have a buffer on top of the 17.6% long-term target? Of course, in these capital requirements, there are a lot of buffers, and you might also discuss how much buffers should you have on the buffers. But I believe over time, a buffer of approximately 50 basis points, 0.5% would be kind of convenient over time. This should of course position us very well with where we stand today and the change of the requirement to have both a strong capital distribution with respect to cash and potential buybacks. Also with the question of from Thomas, we should also be well positioned for taking growth if that's possible. We will remain very disciplined when it comes to capital and will not kind of take any growth that is not profitable with respect to pricing and risk rewards. Capital discipline stands very high in our bank. Okay. Thank you. Then just on the-- Since you state the ROE target as a long-term target, should we interpret that as into 2028 when you have fully implemented all the cost synergies? We have formerly, we have said to the market that we need 2025 and 2026 to come up to a full run rate with respect to taking out synergies. The long term ambition of the 14% should also be kind of viewed in correspondence with this. As we where we stand today, the ambition and interpretation of that would be kind of 2027. Discussing the ambition. Okay, thank you. And then, just finally referring to some of the comments given earlier today about no growth in large corporates. Do you feel like is it some of the volumes going to the bond market that you would like to have yourself, or have you been too constraining on yourself in hindsight? That is one of the explanation in the kind of the reduction here is not caused that we have kind of lost volumes to other banks. Of course, the access or the access of capital in the bond market and the pricing is favorable for some of our companies. That is also one of the explanations why we have some lending volume that goes out of our books. However, we are a large owner of SB1 Markets, and this is kind of a natural flow where companies in some phases, they seek into bank finances, and in other phases, they seek into the bond market. What is important is that we are well equipped to support our customers, whether they choose the bank, the lending market or the bond market as the alliance as such. We don't try to put any kind of limitations on our customers. If this is the right for our customers to do, then they choose the bond market and we will also assist them with issuing debt in the bond market. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Anyone else with questions? It seems like you are happy. I don't see any more hands. Trond, do you see any more hands? No, I don't. No. I think we just conclude that. Okay. I believe we can, yeah, conclude this session. At any time, if you have any follow-up question, you'll find our contact details at the end of the presentation, and we'll be happy to assist you anytime. Thank you very much for taking your time, and have a good day. Thank you.
