KLP Banken AS/KLP Banken Group
Annual report 2020 KLP Banken AS
The Covid-19 pandemic made 2020 an unusual year which called for adjustments and extraordinary measures to meet the needs of members and municipalities. Despite this challenging situation, KLP Banken can point to the best annual results since the bank was established.
About KLP Banken AS
The activities of KLP Banken AS are divided between two nationwide business areas: the retail market and the public-sector market.
KLP Banken AS is an online bank with no physical branch network. The bank offers simple and competitive savings and loan products, and digital solutions to establish and manage them.
KLP Banken aims to be a major lender and financial partner for KLP’s owners, and the preferred bank for members of KLP’s pension schemes.
The bank aims to provide products and services on competitive terms to help ensure that businesses that have chosen KLP as pension provider are perceived as attractive employers. At the end of 2020, employees in these enterprises accounts for over 70 per cent of KLP Banken’s retail customers.
Presence in the market for loans to public sector enterprises contributes to competition and provides the target group of municipalities, county municipalities and businesses with public guarantees access to favourable long-term financing. The bank also provides guidance to customers within financing and municipal finance.
As part of a customer-owned group, KLP Banken AS has taken its share of responsibility for dealing with the situation that the pandemic brought upon the KLP Group’s customers and members this year. In the retail market, rapid interest rate reductions and closer membership follow-up and guidance have been implemented, as well as granting deferral of repayments for customers in need for it. In the public-sector market, the bank has increased its lending based on the extraordinary liquidity provided by KLP, as well as providing guidance and information through close contact with the customers.
KLP Banken AS is wholly owned by Kommunal Landspensjonskasse gjensidig forsikringsselskap (KLP), and has its head office in Trondheim. KLP Banken AS has two subsidiaries, KLP Kommunekreditt AS and KLP Boligkreditt AS. KLP Bankholding AS was the head of the KLP Banken Group until the autumn of 2020. The company was then merged with KLP Banken AS.

INCOME STATEMENT
The profit contribution from the two business areas is NOK 101.5 (75.6) million from the retail market and NOK 35.2 (26.7) million from the public-sector market.
The KLP Banken Group’s return on equity was 6.2 (4.8) per cent before tax and 5.9 (3.7) per cent after tax.
The loan balance in the KLP Banken Group increased by NOK 3.3 (1.5) billion in 2020, or 9 (4) per cent. This figure includes growth in mortgages of NOK 2.2 (1.7) billion and in public loans of NOK 1.1 (-0.2) billion. Public loans managed for KLP showed good growth in 2020, increasing by NOK 7.1 (5.9) billion, or 12 (12) per cent.
Money market rates, and hence general interest rates, fell in the spring of 2020 as a result of the pandemic and have remained at historically low levels throughout the year. From the start, this resulted in a rapid reduction in lending rates for loan customers. Lower interest rates ultimately affected the bank’s financing costs too. The bank’s current margins between lending and borrowing fell in the second quarter, but remained stable at about normal levels in the retail market in the third and fourth quarters. Strong growth in lending volume in the retail market has contributed to an increase in net interest income in this segment compared to last year. The Group saw a similar trend in the public-sector market, where increased volumes and fluctuating margins helped to increase net interest income compared to last year.
The bank’s total net interest income increased by NOK 35.7 million, or 12 per cent, in 2020 compared to the previous year. 78 per cent of the KLP Banken Group’s net interest income in 2020 comes from the retail market.
Changes in the value of financial instruments also turned out negative in 2020. As was the case last year, this mainly applies to accounting effects of the buy-back of own loan issuances. In 2020, falling interest rates and credit premiums also resulted in significant gains on liquid investments. This compensates for some of the costs on the borrowing side.
The accounting line for net profit/loss on financial instruments includes the effects of changes in the value of securities and buy-back of issuances, in addition to the effects of changes to pension estimates and changes in the value of loans. In all, financial instruments had a total cost of NOK 26.1 (30.2) million for the financial year.
The KLP Banken group charges its banking services to a limited extent Changes in the bank’s earnings from fees mainly follow changes in the volume of outstanding credit in the retail market. Net fees and commission income amounted to NOK 18.5 (19.2) million in 2020.
Total operating costs and depreciations amounted to NOK 239.1 (231.9) million in 2020. This produced an increase in costs of 3 (5) per cent. The cost increase is mainly related to investments in IT technology and digitisation together with streamlining processes for the bank’s customers and internally within the bank
In addition to individual loan losses and loss provisions, group-level loss provisions in 2020 resulted in an effect on profits of NOK 0.6 (0.5) million. Group-level loss provisions are calculated on loans both in the retail market and in the public sector market (see Note 18).
In 2020, individual loan losses and loss provisions on loans and other credits amounted to NOK 3.7 (6.1) million; all of these are related to lending in the retail market. NOK 0.4 (1.3) million of the recorded losses and loss provisions are related to mortgages and NOK 3.3 (5.3) million to credit cards and other credits. The bank's losses are at a low level and the Board of Directors perceive the loss provisions as sufficient. Nor has the public-sector market seen any individual loan losses in 2020.
Total loan losses and loss provisions decreased by approximately 35 per cent compared to the previous year.
TOTAL LOAN MANAGEMENT
The KLP Banken Group manages loans for KLP and has a total loan portfolio of NOK 115.2 (105.8) billion on its own balance sheet.
Outstanding loans (principal) per company in the KLP Banken Group as at 31.12.20:
Company / NOK billions | Mortgages | Public/commercial | Total loans |
---|---|---|---|
KLP Banken AS (parent) | 9,7 | - | 9,7 |
KLP Boligkreditt AS | 10,8 | - | 10,8 |
KLP Kommunekreditt AS | - | 17,6 | 17,6 |
KLP (Management Agreement) | 3,2 | 73,9 | 77,1 |
Total | 23,7 | 91,5 | 115,2 |
Drawn credit on credit cards comes in addition to mortgages in the retail market.
NOK 9.9 (10.7) billion of managed loans to public/commercial customers relate to management assignments for KLP, whereby the conclusion of loan agreements, documentation and follow-up are handled by the principal. KLP Banken also has a responsibility for offers, contracts and loan documentation according to its mandate from KLP.
RETAIL MARKET
Customers
KLP Banken has a total of over 45,000 (42,000) active retail customers. The table below shows the breakdown by numbers of customers who actually use the bank’s products actively (one customer may use one or more products).
Product | 2 020 | Membership share | 2019 | Membership share |
---|---|---|---|---|
Deposits | 42 769 | 70 % | 39 635 | 73 % |
Loans | 14 477 | 80 % | 13 998 | 82 % |
Credit card | 7 263 | 87 % | 7 219 | 90 % |
Total customers | 45 406 | 70 % | 42 785 | 73 % |
The sale of KLP Bedriftspensjon in 2020 is the main reason for a slightly lower membership share.
Products
KLP Banken’s main products in the retail market are mortgages and savings. The mortgage products include ordinary mortgages, Flexilån, Boliglån Ung, intermediate financeing for house purchases, loans for holiday homes and Seniorlån. The bank also offers green mortgages with lower interest rates for energy-friendly homes.
Other banking products in the retail market include current accounts, savings accounts, Boligsparing for Ungdom (BSU), and debit and credit cards. Retail customers are largely self-managed through mobile and online banking.
Loans in the retail market
In 2020, KLP’s mortgage portfolios increased from NOK 21.7 billion to NOK 23.7 billion. Net growth in 2020 was NOK 2.0 (2.1) billion, or 9.3 (10.6) per cent. Gross new payments totalled NOK 9.2 (7.9) billion. Mortgages are secured using cautious valuations whereby all borrowers are assessed with respect to solvency and willingness to pay before a loan is approved. Fixed-interest loans accounted for 7 (9) per cent of outstanding loans at year-end. Other loans were at floating interest rates.
Outstanding mortgages in the retail market on the KLP Banken Group’s balance sheet amounted to NOK 20.5 (18.3) billion at the end of 2020.
At the end of 2020, the mortgage portfolios in the banking companies had an average loan-to-value ratio (LTV - debt as a percentage of the estimated property value) of 58 (60) per cent.
At year-end, outstanding debt on credit cards issued by the bank was NOK 49.2 (63.1) million, spread across 9,200 (8,500) card users. The proportion of active card users increased marginally through the year. The introduction of the debt register and the Covid-19 pandemic have both contributed to a general reduction in consumer debt.
Loans more than 90 days past due amounted to NOK 21.2 (27.3) million at the end of the year. That represents 0.10 (0.12) per cent of KLP Banken’s total lending in the retail market. Both defaults and losses therefore decreased in 2020 and are at a stable low level compared to most other banks. The reduction is probably due to the fact that low interest rates have made it easier for retail customers to service their debt.
PUBLIC-SECTOR MARKET
Public market lending and the bank’s role
Loans to the public sector are provided by KLP and KLP Kommunekreditt AS and managed by KLP Banken.
KLP Kommunekreditt AS, together with KLP, has a good position in the market for long-term financing of municipalities, county municipalities and enterprises that work for the public sector. KLP increased its lending limits by NOK 5 billion when the pandemic struck in March 2020. KLP Banken was thus able to provide continued competitive conditions to public borrowers who were concerned to see the opportunities for new loans and refinancing in the lending markets greatly reduced.
Total loans to public borrowers in the financial year amounted to NOK 81.6 (73.4) billion at the end of 2020, an increase of NOK 8.2 (5.7) billion, or 11.2 (8.5) per cent in the financial year. For the local government sector as a whole, the estimated net debt growth was just under 8 per cent in 2020.
Loans at fixed interest rates made up 36 (41) per cent of total loans at the end of the year.
In 2020, new loans were paid to the public sector from the companies in the KLP Group for a total of NOK 15.3 (12.2) billion. Repayments and loan redemptions during the year amounted to NOK 7.1 (6.5) billion.
During 2020, applications for loans totalling NOK 141.8 (NOK 83.2) billion were received. The increase came mainly in the first half of the year, and especially from March, when the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic resulted in a tighter loan market for local authorities. Less access to capital and higher prices in the securities market meant that an increased proportion of the municipalities’ new borrowing and refinancing were with KLP Banken.
The bank offers green loans to public borrowers. This option is increasingly popular and agreements for green loans worth NOK 1.2 (0.7) billion were entered. Three-quarters of these loans went to finance new climate- and eco-friendly buildings and to refurbishing existing buildings with the aim of making them more climate and eco-friendly. An example of financing of new buildings is the new secondary school in Time municipality which is being built to BREEAM “very good” standard. The bank has also financed the construction of three hybrid ferries for Møre og Romsdal county municipality together with Enova. This will help to reduce carbon emissions by more than 20,000 tonnes a year.
The credit risk associated with loans to municipalities and county municipalities in Norway is limited to deferred payments postponement and not to a lapse in payment obligations. This is according to Norwegian law, which provides the lender with security against loss if a municipality cannot meet its payment obligations. In the event of a payment deferral, the lender is also assured of compensation for accrued interest, interest on overdue payments and debt recovery costs under the Norwegian Local Government Act . Neither KLP nor the KLP Banken Group has had any credit losses on loans to municipalities or county authorities.
KLP Banken’s public market lending
The KLP Banken Group’s lending activities within KLP Kommunekreditt AS are mainly based on loans directly from the mortgage company.
Total loans in KLP Kommunekreditt AS amounted to NOK 17.7 (16.5) billion at the end of 2020. The average loan volume was higher than in 2019. The proportion of loans at fixed interest rates was 20 (17) per cent.
KLP Kommunekreditt AS paid out new loans totalling NOK 3.4 (1.6) billion in 2020. The loan portfolio consists of direct loans to Norwegian municipalities and county authorities, or to enterprises that perform assignments for the public sector where loans are guaranteed by municipalities or county authorities. The credit risk in the loan portfolio is considered very low.
KLP Kommunekreditt AS had no non-performing loans more than 90 days past due at the end of 2020. Nor were any individual losses recognised in the accounting year. Calculated loss provisions had very little profit effect in the mortgage company in 2020.
LIQUIDITY
The KLP Banken Group’s liquidity situation is satisfactory as the Group’s financing more than covers the liquidity needs from operations.
Liquidity is invested in other banks and in interest-bearing securities. Investments in credit institutions, including financing of the subsidiaries, amounted to NOK 1.2 (1.5) billion. The book value of interest-bearing securities measured at fair value was NOK 3.1 (3.1) billion in the KLP Banken Group at the end of the year. The portfolio consists entirely of high-rated covered bonds issued by banks and bonds issued by Norwegian municipalities, the State of Norway or other government enterprises.
In 2020, KLP Banken AS used the extended access to F-loans in Norges Bank for the first time. Both bonds and certificates issued by others and own holdings of issues in the bank’s subsidiaries are used as collateral for such loans. Access to F-loans has contributed to sufficient liquidity during a period of market turmoil caused by the pandemic. It has also contributed positively to the bank’s interest income.
The bank reports the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) monthly for the KLP Banken Group as a whole and quarterly for each company. At the end of 2020, the LCR was 443 (313) per cent for the Group and 157 (140) per cent for KLP Banken AS.
FINANCING OF OPERATIONS
Financing of the retail market
The KLP Banken Group’s activities in the retail market are financed with deposits, borrowing and equity.
In 2020, the bank’s deposits from retail customers increased from NOK 9.9 billion to NOK 10.5 billion. The growth in deposits is slightly lower than the previous year. This is believed to be related to the low interest rate through 2020.
At the end of the financial year, KLP Banken AS had outstanding securities debt of NOK 0.8 (1.4) billion. This is also used in financing the subsidiaries in addition to deposits.
KLP Banken AS uses its subsidiary KLP Boligkreditt AS to finance part of the lending activities in the retail market by issuing covered bonds backed by mortgages. In 2020, new mortgage-backed bonds in the amount of NOK 6.0 (2.0) billion were issued. Outstanding bond debt in KLP Boligkreditt AS was NOK 10.6 (7.0) billion at the end of 2020. KLP Boligkreditt AS has achieved the best rating for its borrowing programme.
KLP Boligkreditt AS purchased mortgages amounting to NOK 7.5 (2.9) billion from KLP Banken AS during 2020. At the end of the year, mortgages totalling NOK 10.8 (7.3) billion were financed on KLP Boligkreditt’s balance sheet and NOK 9.7 (11.0) billion on KLP Banken AS’s balance sheet.
Financing of the public sector market
The credit company KLP Kommunekreditt AS issues covered bonds secured by loans to local municipalities and county municipalities and to enterprises with a municipal loan guarantee. Cost-effective financing enables the KLP Banken Group to offer long-term lending at favourable terms.
At the end of 2020, the bank had issued covered bonds backed by loans to the municipal sector amounting to NOK 17.4 (17.4) billion. New issues in 2020 amounted to NOK 4.0 (6.0) billion. No bonds have been issued outside Norway. KLP Kommunekreditt AS has achieved the best rating for its borrowing programme.
KLP Banken AS also offers deposit products for municipalities and public-sector corporate customers that are used for financing lending in the public sector market. At the end of 2020, deposits from municipalities and enterprises amounted to NOK 1.3 (1.6) billion, which corresponds to 11 (14) per cent of the bank’s total deposits. The decrease is due to low interest rates and increased competition in the savings market.
BALANCE SHEET AND CAPITAL ADEQUACY
The total assets of KLP Banken Group amounted to NOK 42.7 (39.7) billion at the end of 2020. The breakdown is shown in the table below:
Total assets/NOK billions | KLP Banken Group | Change in 2020 |
---|---|---|
Public sector loans/municipal guarantee | 17.7 | 1.1 |
Loans to private individuals | 20.6 | 2.2 |
Securities and liquidity | 4.4 | -0.3 |
Other assets | 0.1 | 0.0 |
Total | 42.7 | 3.0 |
The Group’s equity and subordinated loan capital, based on the Board of Directors’ proposal for allocation of the profit from the Group companies for 2020, was NOK 2.4 (2.2) billion. Equity were extended with a private placement of NOK 100 million in 2020. Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital comprise core capital only. This gives a capital adequacy ratio of 19.5 (19.1) per cent. Current statutory capital requirements, including capital buffers, are 12.5 per cent core capital ratio and 16.0 per cent capital ratio.
KLP Banken AS has a Pillar 2 supplement of 1.5 per cent which is included in the bank’s capital requirements at the end of 2020. In addition, a buffer of at least 0.5 per cent is maintained above the actual capital requirement for Pillar 1 and Pillar 2 risks, so the bank’s capital target is 16.5 per cent.
The risk-weighted balance sheet was NOK 11.7 (10.8) billion at the end of 2020.
The leverage ratio in the KLP Banken Group was 5.5 (5.4) per cent. The requirement for leverage ratio for KLP Banken AS is 3 per cent. Capital adequacy is considered to be good.
ABOUT THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT
In the opinion of the Board of Directors, the annual financial statements give a true and fair view of the bank's assets and liabilities, financial position and profit. The conditions for continued operations are present, and this is assumed in the annual financial statements.
ALLOCATION OF PROFIT FOR THE YEAR
The financial statements for KLP Banken AS show a total profit for 2020 of NOK 98.5 (60.1) million after tax. The Board of Directors proposes that a group contribution of NOK 81.0 (72.1) million be paid to KLP. NOK 60.7 (105.8) million will be returned from KLP as a group contribution without any tax effect. Profit after tax and group contribution will be transferred to other equity. The group contribution will first have an accounting effect at the time of the decision.
RATING
The rating agencies’ assessment of the companies in KLP Banken Group is important for the borrowing terms. The companies use Moody’s for credit rating of bonds. All issuances of covered bonds have the best rating, Aaa.
RISK MANAGEMENT
KLP Banken AS and its subsidiaries are exposed to different types of risks. The bank has established a risk management framework aimed at ensuring that risks are identified and analysed and are subject to governance using guidelines, frameworks, procedures and instructions.
Separate guidelines have been established for the most significant individual risks (liquidity, credit, market, operational and compliance risks) and overarching guidelines for risk management that govern the principles, organisation, limits etc. for the bank group’s overall risk. The guidelines are adopted by the Board of Directors and revised at least once a year. The guidelines are of an overarching nature and are supplemented with procedures, regulations and instructions established at the administrative level.
The overall risk management policy governs roles related to the bank's risk management, including requirements and guidelines for the risk control function. The purpose of the risk control function is, among other things, to control that the guidelines are being followed.
Stress testing is used as a risk assessment method and as a tool for communication and exchange of opinion related to risk conditions. In this context, stress testing is understood to include both sensitivity- and scenario analyses.
The guidelines include risk tolerance for the individual risks and for the overall risk. Risk tolerances are defined for different stress scenarios, and different forms of stress testing are regularly carried out to ensure that the actual exposure is within the approved tolerance limits.
KLP Banken AS aims to maintain a cautious risk profile and earnings should mainly be the result of borrowing and lending activities and liquidity management. This means that KLP Banken AS should maintain a low level of market risk and that interest rate risk arising from its borrowing and lending activity should be reduced by means of derivatives. KLP Banken AS should have prudent long-term financing and frameworks have been established to ensure that this objective is achieved. The credit risk in KLP Banken Group is low and lending is limited to loans with municipal risk and loans secured in residential and holiday property. Management of KLP Banken’s liquidity takes the form of investments which satisfy given credit quality requirements, and securities in line with credit lines approved by the Board of Directors.
The boards of directors of KLP Banken AS, KLP Kommunekreditt AS and KLP Boligkreditt AS have appointed a joint risk committee. This is not legally required, based on the amount of the total assets. The risk committee deals with matters related to the bank’s various risks, and has an advisory function to the Board of Directors.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The Bank's articles of association and applicable legislation provide guidance for corporate governance, corporate management, and a clear division of roles between governing bodies and day-to-day management.
The Board of Directors establishes the guidelines for the company. The Board of Directors held eight board meetings in 2020.
The Managing Director is responsible for the day-to-day management of the company in accordance with instructions determined by the Board of Directors.
An account of KLP Banken's corporate governance is available on KLP's website
WORKING ENVIRONMENT AND ORGANISATION
KLP Banken AS and its subsidiaries had 71 (69) permanent employees at the end of 2020. All employment relationships are with KLP Banken AS. Two employees also have functions in the subsidiaries KLP Kommunekreditt AS and KLP Boligkreditt AS.
The unusual situation created by the pandemic through most of 2020 has meant that employees have been working mainly from home. Nevertheless, the Group has maintained operations more or less as normal.
As KLP Banken’s most important resource, most employees have extensive experience and significant credit and market expertise within the retail and public-sector markets. The development of products and services and regulatory requirements for KLP Banken result in constant changes within the business and create a need for adaptation and new expertise. Further development of the organisation and training are therefore important elements of the bank’s plans and activities.
Surveys are carried out regularly among all employees to measure engagement, working environment, well-being and compliance with KLP’s values. The results of these measurements show that most employees are committed to their work and thrive at KLP. The bank has a working environment and cooperation committee (AMU) which is made up of representatives from the management, KLP’s HR Department and the employees’ representatives. The Board of Directors believes that cooperation between the management of KLP Banken and its employees is in a good state. The Board also wishes to thank the employees for their sustained effort through the exceptional situation created by the pandemic, which made it possible to operate more or less as normally.
The KLP Group aims to maintain absence due to illness below 4 per cent. Absence due to illness at KLP Banken was 3.5 (4.5) per cent in 2020, of which long-term absence was 2.6 (2.8) per cent and short-term absence 0.9 (1.8) per cent. Absence is followed up by managers and KLP’s HR Department and by the bank’s Board of Directors when there is an increase in absence over time. There were no work-related injuries or accidents in 2020. The reduction in short-term absence is believed to be driven by the pandemic, in that employees have mainly worked from home.
As part of the KLP Group, KLP Banken AS follows the Group’s guidelines on gender equality and diversity, in which the objectives, measures and activities take into account the basis for discrimination described in the legislation. Separate objectives for gender equality and diversity have been adopted in the central working committee. The standard recruitment procedure is that all qualified applicants should be contacted regardless of age, gender, functional ability, political point of view, sexual orientation or ethnicity.
KLP Banken's Board of Directors recognises the activity and reporting obligation pursuant to the Norwegian Anti-Discrimination Act. Active work in respect of diversity, gender equality, equal pay and reduced absence due to illness are an integral part of the company’s corporate social responsibility.
KLP Banken AS also adheres to the KLP Group’s Code of Conduct and the guidelines on whistleblowing.
55 (55) per cent of the KLP Banken Group’s employees are women. The company endeavours to achieve a balance between women and men in all positions. The proportion of women in senior positions was 46 (46) per cent. At the end of 2020, the Board of Directors of KLP Banken AS comprised three women and four men, of whom one woman and one man were elected from among the employees.
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY
KLP is a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact and is committed to working for human rights, workers’ rights, the environment and anti-corruption initiatives. KLP works on issues related to climate, corruption, human rights, workers’ rights and taxes, among others. KLP also works to ensure that its lending activities affect people, the environment and the community around us in a positive way. The KLP Banken Group has for many years contributed to the sustainable development of society through loan financing of projects throughout Norway, such as roads, schools, day-care centres, swimming pools, sports facilities, care homes, cultural centres and many other socially beneficial projects. Loans to Norwegian municipalities are used for purposes that help reduce national greenhouse gas emissions and benefit society as a whole. More than three-quarters of KLP’s owners have loans in KLP or in the KLP Banken Group. KLP Banken AS is environmentally certified as an office-based company.
KLP Banken also helps to finance energy-saving measures through green mortgages and green loans to the local government sector.
KLP Banken AS signed the United Nations Principles for Sustainable Banking in the autumn of 2019 and has committed to implementing these principles in its operations. The Principles for Sustainable Banking mean that banks are transparent about how their products and services create value for customers and investors, as well as for society as a whole. The Principles are intended to guide banks in their work on sustainability, and support society’s overall goals in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement.
Corporate social responsibility is also included in the governing documents through guidelines for ethics, the environment and responsible investments, among others. A more detailed description of goals, measures and results is available on KLP’s website
OUTLOOK
KLP Banken’s target group in the retail market are the KLP members. They include a significant part of the population, and the prospects for further development of KLP Banken’s position are considered good. KLP Banken will continue to work on developing profitable banking products while ensuring that its members have the best possible conditions, and that these are predictable.
The KLP Banken organization has operated very well during the period with employees working from home offices, but it is assumed that all will return to office as it opens again. The positive experiences learned from home office working will be taken into consideration and may form the basis for increased flexibility ahead.
New technology and new players from other industries are challenging the banking industry. KLP Banken aims to exploit proven technology in order to offer relevant, customer-friendly and efficient services to its customers. This requires extensive IT investments in order to achieve KLP Banken’s targets for further growth and profitability. Most bank customers in Norway have adopted digital tools. As an online bank, KLP Banken AS has thus gained an ever-greater competitive presence, which is positive for the bank. This has become even more of a factor during the pandemic, but the trend is expected to continue regardless of it.
The debt burden on households is subject to strict official requirements for credit approval in the retail market. KLP Banken sees this as a positive sign and a good basis for further development of our personal banking products in the retail market.
The ability to service residential mortgages by KLP Banken’s main customer groups, who are mainly public employees, is believed to be satisfactory going forward and will help to limit defaults and losses. KLP Banken AS will retain its conservative procedures for credit approval in order to maintain low risk in the bank’s lending portfolios.
Norwegian municipalities have developed a good and comprehensive range of services to the public. Increased life expectancy, demographics, income growth and climate risk give reason to expect a sustained high level of investment in the public sector over the next few years. Especially the demand for financing projects that contribute to climate adaptation is expected to grow in the future.
KLP Kommunekreditt AS is the only company in Norway that issue bonds covered by loans to the public sector. The presence of KLP Kommunekreditt AS together with KLP in the market for loans to the public sector contributes to competition and so provides the public sector with access long-term financing at favourable terms.
The Covid-19 situation has influenced large parts of the Norwegian economy, and many employees have been temporarily laid off or lost their jobs. The owners and members of KLP Banken are to a large extent shielded against this through their employment in municipalities and health care enterprises. On that background the Bank will not be impacted strongly, and thus can assume that its growth ambitions may continue and that the risk of credit loss will remain low also in the future.
KLP Banken AS has good capital adequacy and an equity situation that satisfies all regulatory requirements. Combined with low credit risk in the lending activities, this is a good starting point for access to the best possible financing in the capital markets.
As a planned strengthening of capital to facilitate the desired growth, a capital increase of NOK 100 million was completed in February 2020. KLP Banken AS is well equipped for further development and growth.

Note 2 Summary of the most important accounting principles
Below is a description of the most important accounting principles used in the preparation of the Company and Group financial statements for KLP Banken AS. These principles are applied in the same way in all periods presented unless indicated otherwise.
2.1 FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES
The financial statements for KLP Banken AS and the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations from the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), as adopted by the EU. The Norwegian Accounting Act and the Regulations concerning Annual Accounts for Banks, Mortgage Firms and Finance Companies (the Accounting Regulations) contain individual requirements for additional information which is not required under IFRS. These supplementary information requirements have been incorporated into the notes to the financial statements.
To prepare the accounts in accordance with IFRS, management has to make accounting estimates and approximate valuations. This will affect the value of the Company’s and the Group’s assets and liabilities, income and expenses recognised in the financial statements. Actual figures may differ from estimates used. Areas in which discretionary valuations and estimates of material significance to the Company/Group have been used are described in Note 3.
All amounts are presented in NOK thousands without decimals unless stated otherwise.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the going concern assumption.
2.1.1. Changes in accounting principles and information
- New and changed standards adopted by the Company/Group in 2020:
Changes have been made to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IAS 8 Accounting Policies with regard to accounting estimates and errors, to ensure that materiality is defined consistently in standards and policies. The changes clarify when information is considered material and further guidance is included in IAS 1 concerning immaterial information. In particular, the changes clarify:
- that the concept of obscuring material information relates to situations in which the effect corresponds to the information having been omitted or misleading and that the entity must consider materiality in relation to the accounts as a whole, and
- the primary users of general-purpose financial statements, at whom the financial statements should be aimed, by defining these users as current and potential investors, lenders and other creditors who need to use general-purpose financial statements as supporting documentation for large parts of the financial information they require.
The IASB has published a revised conceptual framework that will be used to set standards with immediate effect. Key changes include:
- greater emphasis on the responsibilities of management with regard to the objectives of financial reporting
- reintroducing the idea of caution as a subset of neutrality
- defining a reporting entity, which may be a legal entity or part of an entity
- updating the definitions of assets and liabilities
- removing the probability threshold for recognition and adding guidance on exclusions
- providing more guidance on various measurement bases and
- emphasising that the statement of profit or loss is the key measure of performance and that revenue and costs in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) should be recycled when this strengthens relevance or provides a more credible reflection. No changes will be made to any of the current accounting standards.
IBOR reform/reference rate reform – changes to IFRS 7 and IFRS 9:
The IBOR reform affects a number of agreements that set interest rates according to a benchmark index. The changes to the regulations provide some easing arising from the benchmark interest rate reform. The easing relates to hedging accounting and means that the reform generally results in hedging accounts not being closed. Any ineffective hedging must still be recognised in profit and loss.
- Standards, changes to and interpretations of existing standards that have not come into effect and where the Company/Group has not chosen early application.
A limited change was made in IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements, specifying that debt must be classified as short-term or long-term debt based on the rights that exist at the end of the reporting period. The classification is unaffected by expectations for the entity or events after the balance sheet date (e.g. breach of borrowing terms). The changes also specify what IAS 1 means when it refers to the ‘settlement’ of a commitment. It also specifies that breach of borrowing terms once the period has ended must be taken into account, even though no measurement is performed at this time. The changes may affect the classification of debt, particularly for entities that previously considered management’s intentions in determining the classification, as well as for certain debt items that can be converted to equity. The change must be applied retroactively in accordance with the main rule of IAS 8 Accounting Policies and will enter into force from 1 January 2023.
There are no other IFRS standards or IFRIC interpretations not yet in force that are expected to have a significant impact on the Company/Group’s financial statements.
2.2 CONSOLIDATION PRINCIPLES
2.2.1 Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. Control over an entity arises when the Group is exposed to variation in the profitability from the entity and has the ability to influence this profitability through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is acquired and are omitted from the consolidated financial statements when control ceases.
Intragroup transactions and accounts between group companies are eliminated. Where group companies present accounts in accordance with principles other than those used by the Group, these are converted to correspond to the Group’s accounting principles before they are consolidated.
2.3 TRANSLATION OF TRANSACTIONS IN FOREIGN CURRENCY
2.3.1 Functional currency and presentation currency
The accounts are presented in NOK, which is the functional currency of the parent company and the presentation currency of the Group.
2.3.2 Transactions and statement of financial position items
Transactions in foreign currency are converted to the functional currency at the transaction rate of exchange. Foreign exchange gains or losses realised on settlement and conversion of monetary items in foreign currency at the exchange-rate at the end of the reporting period are taken to profit/loss. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented net on the line ‘Net gain/loss on financial instruments’.
Translation differences on non-monetary items (assets and liabilities) are included in the assessment of fair value. Foreign currency differences associated with non-monetary items, such as shares at fair value through profit or loss, are included as an element of value change recognised through profit or loss.
2.4 TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS
Tangible fixed assets mainly comprise office machinery and inventory used by the Company/Group in its business.
Tangible fixed assets are recognised at acquisition including costs that can be attributed directly to the acquisition of the fixed asset, with a deduction for depreciation. Subsequent costs relating to fixed assets are capitalised as part of the fixed asset if it is likely that the expenditure will contribute to future financial benefit for the Company/Group and the cost can be measured reliably. Repair and maintenance are recognised through profit or loss during the period in which the expenses are incurred.
Depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method so the acquisition cost of tangible fixed assets, including subsequent costs, is depreciated to their residual value over the expected service life, which is:
Office machinery: 4 years
Inventory: 4 years
The service life of current assets is calculated annually. If there are indications of a fall in value below the residual value, the recoverable amount is calculated. If the recoverable amount is less than the residual value, the asset is written down to the recoverable amount.
The profit or loss from disposal is made up of the sale price minus the book value at the date of sale. The profit or loss from disposal is charged to the income statement.
2.5 INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The Company/Group’s intangible assets consist primarily of capitalised IT systems.
On the purchase of a new IT system, directly attributable costs for the system/software and costs of having the system installed and readied for use are capitalised.
On further development of IT systems and software, both external and internal costs are capitalised in accordance with the above. System changes regarded as maintenance are taken to expenses as they occur.
When an IT system is operational, the capitalised costs are depreciated on a linear basis over its expected life. In the event of subsequent capitalisation because of further development, this is depreciated over the original lifetime unless the expenditure increases the total expected life of the system.
If there are indications that the book value of a capitalised IT system is higher than the recoverable amount, an impairment test is carried out. If the book value is higher than the recoverable sum (present value on continued use/ownership), the asset is written down to the recoverable amount.
2.6 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The most important accounting policies relating to financial instruments are described below.
2.6.1 Recognition and derecognition
Financial assets and liabilities are recognised on the balance sheet on the date when the Company/Group becomes party to the instrument’s contractual terms and conditions. Regular purchases and sales of investments are recognised on the date of the agreement. Financial assets are removed from the balance sheet when the rights to receive cash flows from the investment expire or when these rights have been transferred and the Company/Group has essentially transferred the risk and the potential benefits from ownership. Financial liabilities are derecognised when the rights to the contractual conditions have been fulfilled or cancelled or have expired.
2.6.2 Classification and subsequent measurement
2.6.2.1 Financial assets
The classification and measurement of financial assets, other than equity instruments and derivatives, are assessed on the basis of a combination of the entity's business model criteria for asset management and the instrument's contractual cashflow characteristics.
Financial assets are classified on initial recognition in one of the following categories:
- Amortised cost
- Fair value through profit or loss
- Fair value through other comprehensive income
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if both of the following criteria are met and the financial asset has not been reported at fair value through profit or loss (the ‘fair value option’):
- The financial asset is held in a business model whose purpose is to keep financial assets in order to receive the contractual cash flows (the ‘business model criterion’), and
- At certain times, the contractual terms of the financial asset lead to cash flows that only include repayments and interest on the outstanding principal amount (the ‘cash flow criterion’).
The business model criterion
The Company/Group assesses the target with a business model in which an asset is held at the portfolio level, because this best reflects the way the business is managed, and information is given to management. The information that is assessed includes:
- Explicit guidelines and goals for the portfolio and application of these guidelines in practice. In particular, if the management’s strategy and goal is to keep the asset in order to collect the contractual cash flows, maintain a specific interest profile, and match duration between financial assets and the corresponding financial liabilities used to finance these assets, or realise cash flows through the sale of the assets;
- How the return on the portfolio is assessed and reported to management;
- The risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within this business model) and how these risks are managed;
- How the managers are compensated, e.g. whether the compensation is based on the fair value of the managed assets or the total contractual cash flows; and
- Frequency, volume and date of sale in previous periods, the reasons for such sales and expectations of future sales activity. Information about the sales activities is not however assessed in isolation, but as part of an overall assessment of how the Company’s stated goals for managing the financial assets are achieved and how the cash flows are realised.
Loans provided with a view to resale to the wholly-owned mortgage companies KLP Boligkreditt AS and KLP Kommunekreditt AS will have a different business model in the consolidated financial statements and the company accounts. In the company accounts, these loans will be made with a view both to receiving the contractual cash flows and to resale, so they are measured at fair value with value changes through other comprehensive income. In the consolidated accounts, these loans will be included in a business model where the intention is to own the loan throughout its life in order to receive the contractual cash flows, and they are measured at amortised cost.
Assessment of the business model is based on reasonable future scenarios without regard to ‘worst case’ or ‘stress case’ scenarios. If cash flows after initial recognition are realised in a way that is different from the Company/Group’s original expectations, the classification of the remaining financial assets in the relevant business model does not change, but the information is incorporated into the assessment of the newly issued or acquired financial assets in the future.
Cash flow criterion
In this evaluation the principal amount is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initial recognition. ‘Interest’ is defined as payment for the time value of money and for credit risk related to outstanding principal in a specific period of time and for other basic lending risks and costs (e.g. liquidity risk and administrative expenses), as well as a profit margin.
In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are only repayments and interest on the outstanding principal amount, KLP Banken and the Group consider the contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual clause that can change the date or the amount of the contractual cash flows so that it will not meet this condition. In assessing this the Company/Group considers:
- Contingent events that would change the amount and the date of the cash flows;
- Influence on functions;
- Advance payments and extended terms;
- Terms that limit the Company’s claim to cash flows from specific assets (e.g. ‘nonrecourse asset arrangements’);
- Terms that change the assessment of the time value of money - e.g. periodic resetting of interest rates.
The Company/Group has assessed all of its instruments measured at amortised cost against the rules described above and believes the instruments satisfy the criteria. The bank has senior loans on the balance sheet that to some extent expose the bank to the risk of impairment on the homes offered as collateral. The bank has determined that these loans do not pass significant insurance risks from the borrower to the bank as there are no plausible scenarios that result in curtailment of the loan amount. The loans are therefore considered to be within the scope of IFRS 9 in their entirety. These loans are considered to satisfy the cash flow criterion as the bank believes that they will never suffer more than an insignificant curtailment of the loan amounts.
All other financial assets are measured at fair value with changes in value through profit/loss, i.e.:
- Assets with contractual cash flows that do not meet the cash flow criterion; and/or
- Assets held in a different business model than ‘held to collect contractual cash flows’; or
- Assets designated at fair value through profit or loss (the ‘fair value option’).
The Company/Group may designate a debt instrument that meets the criteria to be measured at amortised cost to be reported at fair value through profit or loss if this eliminates or significantly reduces inconsistencies in measurement (‘accounting mismatches’). This option is also available under IAS 39.
Impairment model
The impairment model for losses on loans and receivables is based on expected credit losses. The impairment model defines default as “a payment that is more than 90 days past due, or an account that is continuously overdrawn for a minimum of 90 days (by at least NOK 1000)”. Also, a commitment defaulted on if it has been forfeited for various reasons, such as debt negotiations. How the impairment loss is to be measured is determined for each individual stage and the model uses the effective interest rate method. A simplified approach is allowed for financial assets that do not have a significant financial component (e.g. trade receivables). Upon initial recognition, and in cases where the credit risk has not increased significantly after initial recognition, provision has to be made for credit losses that are expected to occur over the next 12 months (Stage 1). If the credit risk has increased significantly, the provisions should correspond to the expected credit losses over the expected useful life (Stage 2). If there is a loss event, impairments are raised equal to the expected loss on the commitment throughout its life (Stage 3).
In the Bank/Group, the assessment of what is considered to be a significant change in credit risk for home mortgage loans is based on a combination of quantitative and qualitative indicators and ‘backstops’.
For the products where the Bank/Group has not developed its own PD (probability of default) and LGD (loss given default) models, the loss ratio method is used. Here a change in risk rating of at least one grade from initial recognition to the reporting date is considered to be a significant increase in credit risk. This applies to the senior loan and credit card products within the retail market.
In the Group, the simplified loss rate method for public lending is also used. For the balance sheet items ‘Receivables from central banks’ and ‘Loans to and receivables from credit institutions’, the Bank/Group has made use of the exception for low credit risk. These balance sheet items have a rating that satisfies the presumption in the standard of low credit risk on the balance sheet.
For more information on loan losses, please refer to Note 18.
2.6.2.2 Financial liabilities
The Company/Group has classified all financial liabilities measured at amortised cost, except for:
- Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss: this classification applies to derivatives and financial liabilities designated as such upon initial recognition. The Company/Group has designated certain liabilities at fair value through the income statement, because this reduces or eliminates inconsistencies in measurement (‘accounting mismatches’)
- Financial guarantees and loan commitments
Financial guarantees and loan commitments not valued at fair value are included in the general impairment method; see information under 2.6.2.1.Other financial liabilities are recognised at amortised cost. The category includes deposits from customers and credit institutions with no interest rate hedging and other financial liabilities not designated as liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss.
2.6.2.3 Financial derivatives and hedging
Financial derivatives are capitalised at fair value at the time the derivative contract is struck. On subsequent measurement the derivatives are recognised at fair value and are presented as an asset if the value is positive and a liability if the value is negative. Recognition of associated gains and losses depends on whether the derivative has been identified as a hedging instrument and on the type of accounting hedge the derivative is included in.
For derivatives not included in hedging relationships, gains and losses are recognised as net value changes on derivatives and foreign exchange. In the financial statements, they are included in the line ‘Net gain/loss on financial instruments’. These fall into the category of financial assets at fair value reported through profit or loss.
For derivatives included in the accounting hedges, gains and losses are recognised as net changes in value of certificates, bonds and other securities, and are presented in the financial statements under ‘Net profit/(loss) on financial instruments’.
The derivatives which are hedging instruments are used for hedging interest rate risk on fixed-interest borrowing and lending. In its hedging activity, the Group safeguards itself against movements in market interest rates. Changes in the credit spread are not taken into account in the Company/Group’s hedging strategy. The Company/Group uses the rules on fair value hedging, so the book value of the hedged item (asset or liability) is adjusted for the value change in the hedged risk. The value change is recognised in the income statement. On entry into a hedging contract, the connection between the hedging instrument and the hedging object is documented, in addition to the purpose of the risk management and the strategy behind the different hedging transactions. The hedging effectiveness is measured regularly to ensure the hedge is effective.
If the hedge no longer fulfils the criteria for hedge accounting, the recognised effect of the hedge for hedging objects recognised at amortised cost is amortised over the period up to the due date of the hedging instrument. Effective interest rate is normally calculated based on the remaining time to maturity.
2.6.2.4 Presentation, classification and measurement
Based on the descriptions above, the presentation, classification and measurement of financial instruments can be summarised in the following table:
Group Financial Instruments | Classification |
---|---|
Receivables from central banks | Amortized cost |
Loans to- and receivables from credit institutions | Amortized cost |
Loans to- and receivables from customers | Amortized cost |
Amortized cost (hedging) | |
Fixed income securities | Fair value through profit or loss |
Financial derivatives (assets) | Fair value through profit or loss |
Shares and holdings | Fair value through profit or loss |
Deposit from customers | Amortized cost |
Liabilities creates on issuance of securities | Amortized cost |
Amortized cost (hedging) | |
Financial derivatives (liabilities) | Fair value through profit or loss |
KLP Banken AS Financial Instruments | Classification |
---|---|
Receivables from central banks | Amortized cost |

Shares and holdings | Fair value through profit or loss |
Deposit from customers | Amortized cost |
Liabilities creates on issuance of securities | Amortized cost |
Amortized cost (hedging) | |
Financial derivatives (liabilities) | Fair value through profit or loss |
2.6.3 Netting
Financial assets and liabilities are presented net in the statement of financial position when there is an unconditional offsetting entitlement that can be legally enforced and the intention is to settle net or realise the asset and liability simultaneously.
2.6.4Modification
When the contractual cash flows from a financial instrument are renegotiated or otherwise amended, and the renegotiation or change does not lead to derecognition of the financial instrument, the gross book value of the financial instrument is recalculated and a gain or loss is recognised in the income statement. The gross book value of the financial instrument is recalculated as the present value of the renegotiated or amended contractual cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate for the financial instrument. Any costs or fees incurred adjust the book value of the modified financial instrument and are written down over the remaining lifetime of the changed financial instrument.
2.7 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents are defined as receivables from credit institutions without any termination date. The amount does not include receivables from credit institutions that are linked to the purchase and sale of securities in the management of the securities portfolios. The statement of cash flows has been prepared in accordance with the direct method.
2.8 OWNERSHIP INTERESTS IN GROUP COMPANIES
Investments in group companies are investments for permanent ownership or use and are valued at acquisition cost.
The Group financial statements cover the Bank and its wholly owned subsidiaries KLP Boligkreditt AS and KLP Kommunekreditt AS. All entities in which the Group has a decisive influence/control are considered to be subsidiaries. Control is normally achieved through ownership of more than half of the voting capital. The effect of potential voting rights that can be exercised or converted at the end of the reporting period is included in the assessment of control. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Group takes over control and they are omitted from consolidation when that control ceases. Intercompany transactions are eliminated in the financial statements.
2.9 RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS/LEASE LIABILITIES
On entering into a contract, the Company/Group assesses whether the contract constitutes a lease. A contract constitutes a lease if it transfers control over the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for a consideration. At the date of implementation, the Company/Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, and these are presented on separate lines in the accounts.
The lease liability is measured on initial recognition at the present value of lease payments not yet paid at the reporting date. The discount rate used is the Company/Group's marginal loan rate. Subsequent measurements measure the lease liability at amortised cost by the effective interest method. The lease liability is re-measured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or if the Company/Group changes its decision whether to exercise extension or termination options. When the lease liability is re-measured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the recognised value of the right of use or is taken to profit/loss if the recognised value of the right of use is reduced to zero.
On initial recognition, the right of use is measured at acquisition cost, i.e. the lease liability (present value of the lease payments) plus advance lease payments and any direct acquisition costs. In subsequent periods, the right of use is measured using an acquisition model.
2.10 FINANCIAL LIABILITIES
The Company/Group’s financial liabilities comprise liabilities to credit institutions, covered bonds issued and deposits from customers.
2.10.1 Liabilities to credit institutions
Liabilities to credit institutions are capitalised at market value on take -up. As a rule, on subsequent measurement the liability is recognised at amortised cost in accordance with the effective interest rate method. The interest costs are included in amortisation on the line for ‘Interest expenses, effective interest rate method’ in the income statement.
In response to the negative financial consequences of the pandemic, the Central Bank of Norway issued extraordinary F-loans to banks in 2020. The KLP Bank/Group took advantage of the opportunity to take out an F-loan from the Central Bank of Norway in 2020. These loans have a fixed term and do not have to be repaid before the loan due date. In the financial statements, the loans have been recognised in the line ‘Debt to credit institutions’.
2.10.2 Covered bonds issued
In the first instance, covered bonds issued are recognised at fair value on take-up adjusted for purchase costs, i.e. nominal value adjusted for any premium/discount on issue. On subsequent valuation the bonds are valued at amortised cost by the effective interest method. The interest costs are shown in the line ‘Interest expenses, effective interest rate method’ in the income statement. Bonds with fixed interest are recognised in accordance with the rules on fair value hedging if they reduce or eliminate the inconsistency (“accounting mismatch”).
2.10.3 Liabilities to and deposits from customers
Deposits from customers are recognised at fair value in the balance sheet when the deposit is recorded as transferred to the customer’s account. In subsequent periods, liabilities to and deposits from customers are recognised at amortised cost in accordance with the effective interest rate method. The interest expenses are included in the line ‘Interest expenses, effective interest rate method’ in the income statement.
2.11 OWNERS’ EQUITY
The owners’ equity in the Group comprises owners’ equity contributed and retained earnings.
2.11.1 Equity contributed
Owners’ equity contributed comprises share capital, the share premium fund and other owners’ equity contributed.
2.11.2 Accrued equity
Retained earnings comprise other owners’ equity. Ordinary company law rules apply to any allocation or use of the retained earnings.
2.12 PRESENTATION OF INCOME IN THE ACCOUNTS
Income from the sale of goods and services is valued at the fair value of the consideration, net of any discounts. Intragroup sales are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
2.12.1 Income from services
Fees for lending management are taken to income in proportion to the management carried out for the time up to the end of the reporting period. Other services are taken to income on a linear basis over the contract period.
2.12.2 Interest income/expenses
Interest income and interest expenses associated with all interest-bearing financial instruments valued at amortised cost and fair value through other comprehensive income are taken to income using the effective interest rate method on the book value of the asset on the balance-sheet date and are reported under ‘Interest income/expenses, effective interest rate method’. Setup fees for lending are included in the amortisation and taken to income over the duration of the loan. This is true except for:
- Purchased or credit-impaired financial assets. For these assets, the Company/Group will apply the credit-adjusted effective interest rate on the amortised cost of the financial asset from initial recognition.
- Financial assets that are not purchased or credit-impaired financial assets, but which have subsequently become such. Here, the effective interest rate is applied to the amortised cost of the financial asset in subsequent reporting periods
For interest-bearing financial investments and derivatives measured at fair value through the income statement, interest income is classified as ‘Interest income and similar income, fair value’, while other value changes are classified as ‘Net gain or loss on financial investments’.
2.13 TAX
Tax costs in the income statement comprise tax payable and changes in deferred tax. Tax is charged to the income statement, apart from tax relating to items reported under ‘Other comprehensive income’. Deferred tax and tax assets are calculated as differences between the accounting and taxation value of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are capitalised to the extent that it can be demonstrated that the Company/Group will have sufficient taxable profit in the future to exploit the tax asset.
The Company is a part of a financial services group and a tax group. Except for the limitations pursuant to the Financial Institutions Act, any tax-related surplus may be passed in its entirety to the parent company and subsidiaries as a group contribution with tax effect.
Provisions for group contributions are classified as equity until they have been approved by the general meeting, and are then settled.
The Company/Group is covered by the rules on capital activity tax. Capital activity tax is calculated on the Company’s total employer-taxable benefits in addition to salary benefits etc. that were earned in 2020 but not paid until later years.
2.14 PENSION OBLIGATIONS - OWN EMPLOYEES
The Company/Group’s pension obligations are partially insurance-covered through KLP’s public-sector occupational pensions by way of membership of the joint pension scheme for municipalities and enterprises (‘Fellesordningen’). Pension liability beyond these schemes is covered through operations. Pension costs are treated in accordance with IAS 19. The Company/Group has a defined-benefit pension scheme for its employees. The accounting liability for defined-benefit schemes is the present value of the obligation on the reporting date, with a deduction for the fair value of the pension assets. The gross obligation is calculated using the straight-line method. The gross obligation is discounted to present value using the interest rates on Norwegian high-quality bonds. Gains and losses arising on recalculation of the obligation as a result of known deviations and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged to owners’ equity via other comprehensive income during the period in which they arise. The effect of changes in the benefits from the scheme is taken to profit/loss immediately.
Presentation of the pension costs in the income statement is in accordance with IAS 1. This standard allows the option of classifying the net interest element either as an operating cost or as a financial cost. The option the Company adopts must be followed consistently for later periods. The Company has presented the pension costs under the accounting line ‘Salary and administrative costs’, while the net interest element is presented in the accounting line ‘Net gain/(loss) on financial instruments’. The estimate deviation has been classified under ‘Items that will not be reclassified to income’ in the accounting line ‘Estimate deviation pension obligations and pension assets’.
The ‘Fellesordningen’ is a multi-undertaking scheme, which means that the actuarial risk is distributed across all the municipalities and companies included in the scheme. The financial and actuarial assumptions behind the calculation of net pension obligations are therefore based on factors that are representative of the whole Group.
Note 3 Important accounting estimates and valuations
The company/group prepares estimates and assumptions about future situations. These are constantly evaluated and are based on historical data and expectations concerning probable future events considered on the basis of data available at the time of presentation of the financial statements.
The estimates may be expected to differ from the final outcome and the areas where there is significant risk of substantial change in capitalised values in future periods are discussed below.
3.1 FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The company/group has invested surplus liquidity in income-bearing securities. These were initially recognised at fair value in the statement of financial position. The securities in the portfolio are classified under “Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss” as they are managed, and their earnings are measured on the basis of fair value. The principles for calculating the fair value of the various instruments are described in Note 6.
3.2 LOSSES ON FINANCIAL ASSETS
Financial assets not measured at market value are assessed for impairment at the end of the reporting period.
Financial instruments are assessed for impairment for expected losses. The method for measuring impairment for expected loss depends on whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition. Upon initial recognition, and when the credit risk has not increased significantly after initial recognition, provisions are based on 12 months’ expected loss (stage 1). If the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, but there is no objective evidence of impairment, write-downs are based on expected loss over the lifetime (stage 2). If the credit risk has increased significantly and there is objective evidence of impairment, a provision should be raised for the expected loss over its lifetime (stage 3).
In the company/group, the assessment of what is considered to be a significant change in credit risk for home mortgage loans is based on a combination of quantitative and qualitative indicators and ‘backstops’. The most important driver for a significant change in credit risk for home mortgage loans in the group is a change in the probability of default (PD) from initial recognition up to the reporting date. A relative change in PD of more than 2.5 is considered to be a significant change in credit risk. The change in PD must also be at least 0.6 percentage points for the change to be considered significant.
For the products where the company/group has not developed its own PD and LGD (loss given default) models, the simplified loss ratio method is used. Here a change in risk rating of at least one grade from initial recognition to the reporting date is considered to be a significant increase in credit risk.
The lending portfolio has historically shown low losses and has generally very good collateral in public sector guarantees or mortgages. As a result, the loan loss provisions for the company/group are low. At the start of the pandemic the provisions for future losses increased, but by year end these had been reduced to the level before the pandemic. For more information about the company's calculation of losses, refer to Note 18.

Fair value shall be a representative price based on what a corresponding asset or liability would have been traded for on normal market terms and conditions. A financial instrument is considered to be listed in an active market if the listed price is simply and regularly available from a stock market, dealer, broker, industry grouping, price setting service or regulatory authority, and these prices represent actual and regularly occurring transactions at arm’s length. If the market for the security is not active, or the security is not listed on a stock market or similar, valuation techniques are used to set fair value. These are based for example on information on recently completed transactions carried out on business terms and conditions, reference to trading in similar instruments and pricing using externally collected yield curves and yield spread curves. As far as possible the estimates are based on externally observable market data and rarely on company-specific information.
The different financial instruments are thus priced in the following way:
Fixed-income securities - government
Bloomberg is used as a source for pricing Norwegian government bonds. The prices are compared with the prices from Nordic Bond Pricing to reveal any errors.
Fixed-income securities - other than government
Norwegian fixed-income securities, except government are priced directly on prices from Nordic Bond Pricing. Those securities that are not included in Nordic Bond Pricing are priced theoretically. The theoretical price is based on the assumed present value on the sale of the position. A zero-coupon curve is used for discounting. The zero-coupon curve is adjusted upwards by means of a credit spread, which is to take account of the risk the bond entails. The credit spread is calculated on the basis of a spread curve taking account of the duration of the bond. Nordic Bond Pricing is the main source of spread curves. They provide company-specific curves for Norwegian savings banks, municipalities and energy. Savings banks have various spread curves based on total assets. For companies where Nordic Bond Pricing do not deliver spread curves, the Group use spread curves from three Norwegian banks. When spread curves are available from more than one of these banks, an equal-weighted average is used. If a bond lacks an appropriate spread curve, spread from a comparable bond from the same issuer is used.
Financial derivatives
These transactions are valued based on the applicable swap curve at the time of valuation. Derivative contracts are to be used only to hedge balance amounts and to enable payments obligations to be met. Derivative contracts may be struck only with counterparties with high credit quality.
Shares (unlisted)
For liquid shares and units, the closing price on the balance sheet date is used as the basis for measurement at fair value. If the prices are not quoted, the last price traded is used. Illiquid shares are priced on the basis of the Oslo Stock Exchange’s index algorithm based on the last traded prices. If the price picture is out of date, a derived valuation is produced from relevant equity indices or other similar securities. If this is also considered unsatisfactory, a discretionary valuation is made in which the Company’s financial key figures, broker assessment etc. are used.
Fair value of loans to retail customers
The fair value through profit/loss is calculated by discounting contractual cash flows to present values. The discount rate is determined as the market rate, including a suitable risk margin. For loans measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the fair value is calculated as the recognised principal minus estimated loss provisions on loans classified in Stage 2 and 3 (see note 18 Loan losses provision).
Fair value of loans to Norwegian local administrations
The fair value of these loans is considered to be virtually the same as the book value, as the contract terms are constantly adjusted in line with market interest rates. The fair value of fixed rate loans is calculated by discounting contractual cash flows by market interest rates including a suitable risk margin at the end of the reporting period. This is valued at Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy, cf. Note 8.
Fair value of deposits
The fair value of floating rate deposits is taken to be approximately equal to the deposit amount including accrued interest. The fair value of fixed rate deposits is calculated by discounting contractual cash flows by market interest rates including a suitable risk margin. Discounting contractual cash flows by market interest rates including a suitable risk margin. This is valued at Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy, cf. Note 8.
Fair value of loans to and receivables from credit institutions
All receivables from credit institutions (bank deposits) are at variable interest rates. The fair value of these is considered to be virtually the same as the book value, as the contract terms are continuously changed in step with change in market interest rates. This is valued at Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy, cf. Note 8.
As the contract terms are continuously changed in step with change in market interest rates. This is valued at Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy, cf. Note 8.
Liabilities created on issuance of securities
Fair value in this category is determined on the basis of internal valuation models based on external observable data. This is valued in Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy, cf. Note 8.

Interest rate agreements are used to correct for imbalances between the Company’s lending and borrowing in regard to interest rate exposure. All the agreements struck are hedging deals. The interest rate differences in the agreements are accrued in the same way as the items the hedging contracts are intended to cover.
Interest rate swaps are agreements on exchange of interest rate terms in a future period. They do not cover exchange of principal.

Fair value should be a representative price based on what a corresponding asset or liability would have been traded for at normal market terms and conditions. Highest quality in regard to fair value is based on listed prices in an active market. A financial instrument is considered as listed in an active market if listed prices are simply and regularly available from a stock market, dealer, broker, industry group, price-setting service or regulatory authority, and these prices represent actual and regularly occurring transactions at arm's length.
Level 1: Instruments in this level obtain fair value from listed prices in an active market for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has access to at the reporting date. Example instruments at Level 1 are stock market listed securities.
Level 2: Instruments in this level obtain fair value from observable market data. This includes prices based on identical instruments, but where the instrument does not maintain a high enough trading frequency and is not therefore considered to be traded in an active market, as well as prices based on corresponding assets and price-leading indicators that can be confirmed from market information. Example instruments at Level 2 are fixed-income securities priced on the basis of interest rate paths.
Level 3: Instruments at Level 3 contain non-observable market data or are traded in markets considered to be inactive. The price i based generally on discrete calculations where the actual fair value may deviate if the instrument were to be traded.
Note 6 discloses the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are recognized at amortized cost and according to the rules on hedge accounting . Financial assets measured at amortized cost and hedge accounting comprise lending to and due to credit institutions, Norwegian municipalities and retail customers. The stated fair value of these assets is determined on terms qualifying for level 2.
Financial liabilities recognized at amortized cost and hedge accounting consist of debt securities issued and deposits. The stated fair value of these liabilities is determined by methods qualifying for level 2.
There have been no transfers between level 1 and level 2.

Note 12 Financial risk management
Organisation of risk management
The Board of Directors of the Bank has established a risk management framework aimed at ensuring that risks are identified, analysed and managed based on policies, limits, procedures and instructions. The Board has adopted risk policies covering the key individual risks as well as an overarching risk policy that covers principles, organisation, limits etc. for the Bank’s total risk. The risk policies are of an overarching nature and are complemented by procedures, guidelines and instructions laid down at the senior management level. The policies state which departments are responsible for handling the various risks and also cover the establishment of a separate risk control function. One purpose of the risk control function is to check that the risk policies and other guidelines for risk management are being followed. This function is carried out by the head of the Risk Management and Compliance Department, which is responsible for preparing periodic risk reports to senior management and the Board as well as reporting on any breaches of policies or guidelines. The Department, which has an independent role in relation to other departments, also has other tasks associated with the Bank’s risk management. The responsibility for the operational direction of the Bank’s liquidity risk, exchange rate risk and interest rate risk lies with the Finance Department. KLP Banken has established a risk committee, which is a sub-committee of the Board. The risk committee deals with matters specifically related to risk and has an advisory function to the Board.
Note 13 Credit risk
Credit risk is defined as the risk of loss associated with loan customers, derivative counterparties, issuers of securities and other counterparties being unable or unwilling to settle at the agreed time and in accordance with written contracts, where the collateral established does not cover the outstanding claim. The Group provides loans to retail customers, Norwegian municipalities and county administrations, local government enterprises, intermunicipal companies and loans to companies where the loan is guaranteed by a Norwegian municipality or county administration.
13.1 CONTROL AND LIMITATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Board has adopted a policy for credit risk which contains overarching guidelines, requirements and limits associated with credit risk. The policy states that the Bank should have a low credit risk profile and includes limits on types of lending and principles for the organisation and operation of the Bank’s lending activity. The Bank is allowed to take on some higher risk within some products, but loan products to retail customers other than mortgage loans may not amount to more than 10 per cent of the Bank's total lending in the retail market. The policy also includes an overarching mandate structure for lending and other counterparty exposure.
Credit risk associated with issuers of securities, derivative counterparties and other counterparties in the financial area is also limited by Board-determined limits on individual counterparties. These limits are based on the counterparty’s solvency and other assessments of counterparties’ creditworthiness.
In processing all new loan applications in the public sector, checks are made on whether the customer’s credit limits are greater than the sum of the loan amounts applied for and current lending. In the credit risk policy described above, requirements are set for reporting to the Board on the use of the limits. Any breach of the limits must be reported to the Company’s Board in any event. All loans in the public sector market in KLP Banken are provided to municipalities or county administrations, or with a municipal/county administration guarantee. In the retail market, loans are provided with a mortgage on housing or leisure real estate, generally within 75 per cent of the market value of the mortgaged object. In processing loan applications the borrower’s servicing ability and the value of the mortgage object is assessed and loans are provided only within set limits and authorisations. KLP Banken also provides unsecured credit to private individuals through credit cards according to credit rating of the customer's ability to pay and debt ratio.
The market value of the mortgage assets is updated quarterly using market values for housingin Norway provided by Eiendomsverdi AS.

KLP Banken uses a risk classification system to classify retail customers with loans or credits. Customers are classified from A to K, where A indicates very low risk while K is for customers on which the bank has incurred losses. Below is a distribution table with the volume of loans divided into low, medium and high risk, where low risk is defined as lending to customers in class A or B, medium risk is defined as lending to customers in class C or D, and high risk is defined as lending to customers in classes E to K.
.
The table below shows the total book value of the various risk classes and per stage in the impairment model. Stage 1 is all healthy loans, which must be written down by the estimated losses for 12 months. Stage 2 indicates that the exposure has a substantially increased credit risk since its initial recognition on the balance sheet, and means that the loan must be written down by the estimated losses throughout the entire term. Stage 3 is all loans in default (over 90 days past due) or with individual loss write-downs, which must be written down by the estimated losses throughout the entire term.

The Bank Group may also be exposed to credit risk from interest rate derivatives. The purpose of such contracts is to reduce risks arising from the Group’s borrowing and lending activities. The Group's internal policy sets out the requirements for the creditworthiness of derivative counterparties. All derivative contracts are entered into with counterparties with a minimum A1 rating (Moody’s).
13.3 MAXIMUM EXPOSURE TO CREDIT RISK
KLP Banken measures maximum exposure as the sum of principal and accrued interest. Security in cash or securities is not exchanged, nor are other credit improvements carried out. The table below shows the maximum exposure for the parent bank and the Group.

13.4 LOAN LOSS PROVISIONS
The Bank has very low losses, cf. Note 18, and considers all receivables to be satisfactorily secured. All mortgage loans to the retail market in KLP Banken are secured with mortgages generally within 85 per cent of the market value, and any losses will only arise when the value of the mortgaged object falls below the residual amount of the loan. The Bank has also issued credit cards to customers in the retail market. These are unsecured receivables with a higher risk of loss than for mortgage-secured loans. Loans in the public-sector market are provided to municipalities or county administrations, or to undertakings with a municipal/county administration guarantee. KLP Banken has had no write-downs or losses in the public-sector market.

13.5 CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
A large proportion of the Group’s lending at the end of the year was linked to public-sector financing, so the portfolio has a high concentration towards a single sector. The underlying credit risk from this sector is however so low that it is hardly possible to reduce this concentration without increasing the total risk in the portfolio. The concentration towards the Norwegian public sector is thus considered not to be a risk issue. The concentration towards individual borrowers is limited by individual Board-set limits.
Lending to the Group’s largest borrower as at 31 December 2020 was approximately 1.9 per cent of the Group’s total lending.
Note 14 Market risk
Market risk is here understood to mean the risk of a reduction in the fair value of the Bank’s owners’ equity as a result of fluctuations in market prices for the Bank’s assets and liabilities. Changes in credit margins are excluded as they fall under credit risk.
The Group is exposed to market risk as a result of the Group’s borrowing and lending activity and management of its liquidity. The exposure is however limited to interest rate risk and exchange rate risk. Interest rate risk arises from differences in timing of interest rate adjustments for the Company’s assets and liabilities. The risk associated with such imbalances is reduced by using derivative contracts. All of the Company’s borrowing is in NOK, and the whole of the lending portfolio comprises loans in NOK.
14.1 MEASUREMENT OF MARKET RISK
Interest rate risk is measured as the change in value on a one percentage point change in all interest rates.
14.2 INTEREST RATE RISK
The market risk policy comprises the Group’s overarching guidelines, requirements and limits associated with market risk. The policy dictates that the market risk should be minimised so the total market risk is low. It further states that the Group should not actively take positions that expose it to market risk. The policy also sets limits for interest rate risk, both for the total interest rate risk for the indefinite future and for rolling 12-month periods. The risk limits are set to ensure that low market risk profile that has been adopted is adhered to. The operational responsibility for managing the Company’s market risk lies with the Finance Department. The Risk Management and Compliance Department reports the Company’s actual exposure in relation to limits in accordance with guidelines set by the Board.
Interest rate risk arises because the fixed interest periods for the Bank’s assets and liabilities are not the same. The gap in the table below shows the difference between assets and liabilities that can be interest-adjusted within the given time intervals. The repricing date shows the time to the next agreed interest adjustment date. Floating-rate loans and deposits, and cash and receivables from credit institutions, fall into the time interval up to one month, while fixed-interest loans, securities and liabilities created on issuance of securities fall into the time interval for which interest adjustment has been agreed.

Note 15 Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Bank may not be able to meet its obligations and/or finance increases in its assets without substantial additional costs arising in the form of price falls on assets which must be realised, or in the form of more costly financing.
15.1 MANAGEMENT OF LIQUIDITY RISK
A liquidity policy has been established for the Group containing principles, guidelines, requirements and limits that apply to the management of the liquidity risk. The policy contains various requirements and limits to adhere to the desired liquidity risk profile, including targets for deposit cover, limits for refinancing needs for various timeframes and liquidity buffer requirements. The Board has also adopted an emergency plan for financial crises (including liquidity crises) as part of the Bank's recovery plan. In addition to the requirements at Group level, separate specific requirements have been established for subsidiaries, including requirements for continuously positive cash flows, limits for refinancing requirements and requirements for liquidity reserves and drawing rights. The operational responsibility for managing the Company’s liquidity risk lies with the Finance Department. The Risk Management and Compliance Department reports the Company’s actual exposure in relation to limits in accordance with guidelines set by the Board.

Note 18 Loan loss provision
Framework for loan loss provisions
The new accounting standard IFRS 9 was introduced on 1st January 2018 and changed the methodology for provisions for losses on financial instruments in the accounts. The measurement of the provision for expected credit losses on financial assets depends on whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition. At initial recognition and if the credit risk has not increased significantly, the provision should equal 12-month expected credit losses (stage 1). If the credit risk has increased significantly from the initial recognition (stage 2) or if the asset is classified as impaired (stage 3), the provision should equal lifetime expected credit losses.
Calculation of expected credit loss
Expected credit loss (ECL) is calculated as the exposure at default (EAD) multiplied by the probability of default (PD) multiplied by the loss given default (LGD).
Probability of Default (PD) is a calculated probability based on statistical models to estimate the probability of an exposure going into default during the following 12-month period (12-month PD). In addition to calculating 12 months PD, the bank has developed PD graphs used for calculating marginal PD for the exposure’s remaining lifetime (Lifetime PD).
Loss given default (LGD) is what the bank expects to lose given that an exposure goes into default. The calculation is based on how probable it is that a defaulted exposure is cured and expected credit loss if the exposure is not cured.
Exposure at default (EAD) is expected exposure at the moment of a future default.
In KLP Banken/the Group, the assessment of what is considered to be a significant change in credit risk for retail mortgage loans are based on a combination of quantitative and qualitative indicators and ‘backstops’. The most important driver for a significant change in credit risk for retail mortgage loan is a change in the probability of default (PD) from the initial recognition up to the reporting date. A relative change in 12 month PD of more than 2.5 is considered a significant change in credit risk. In addition, the change in 12 month PD must also be at least 0.6 percentage points for the change to be considered significant. Exposures that are more than 30 days past due will automatically be placed in Stage 2, and exposures more than 90 days past due will be placed in Stage 3.The loans go back to Stage 2 and Stage 1 when the criteria for significant change in credit risk and default are no longer fulfilled.
Definition of default
Default is defined as "a claim that is over 90 days past due, or an account that has been continuously overdrawn for a minimum of 90 days (minimum amount NOK 1,000). Furthermore, a commitment is considered defaulted if for various reasons it has been written off, e.g. through debt negotiations, established debt settlement and/or bankruptcy.
Simplified loss ratio method
For products where the bank has not developed PD and LGD (loss given default) models, a simplified loss ratio method is used. Here a change in risk rating of at least one grade from initial recognition to the reporting date is considered to be a significant increase in credit risk. This applies to the senior loan and credit card products within the retail market. For credit cards, the bank has calculated a loss ratio based on the average estimated PD for the credit card portfolio obtained from an external credit information agency and the average LGD for credit cards for the period 2005-2014 calculated by a debt collection agency. For senior loans, a loss ratio of 0.001 percent is used based on the fact that senior loans cannot, in principle, go into default since the product is such that no interest or instalments are to be paid on the loan before the home is sold or the customer dies. In addition to that, the loan calculation is conservative, with lower loan to value (LTV) the younger the customer is (minimum age of 60 years).
For public lending in KLP Kommunekreditt AS the simplified loss rate method is used, but here with the exception for low credit risk so that all loans are in stage 1. For these loans, a loss rate of 0.001 per cent is used.
Follow-up of defaulted and doubtful commitments
Mortgages in arrears are handled by a special commitments department in the bank. KLP Banken/Group currently uses its own collection process up to and including legally enforced recovery and execution of sale/foreclosure. If a repayment agreement is not reached, any residual debt after realisation of the collateral is transferred to a collection agency for further follow-up.
For credit cards, KLP Banken/ Group has an agreement with a debt collection agency where unpaid instalments are followed up with pre-collection. The debt collection agency also handles unpaid claims with termination, legally enforced recovery and, if applicable, monitoring in cases where legally enforced recovery has so far been in vain.
Individual loss write-downs
Mortgages over 90 days past due are reviewed and followed up regularly. In addition, exposures are also reviewed when the bank receives information about debt negotiations or other conditions that would indicate increased risk. A loss assessment is carried out for all such exposures. The collateral is assessed on the basis of previously determined value, in addition to new information about the bank's collateral, for example from a broker if a sale/foreclosure has already been initiated. If the realisation value proves to be lower than the residual debt of the commitment, a loss write-down of the exposure is carried out.
Exposures with individual loss write-downs are followed up with a view to the realisation of the collateral. This can be undertaken by agreement on an ordinary sale or legally by means of a foreclosure. In some cases, a payment agreement to repay the full amount of residual debt is reached. In these cases, the loss write-down will be maintained for a minimum of 1 year after the loan has been satisfactorily served, before the exposure is considered cured.
Determination of loss
For mortgages, the determination of loss will only occur after the security has been realised and further legal proceedings have not succeeded, that is after an application for distraint has not yielded a result. The case is then monitored by a debt collection agency and followed up on a regular basis.
Credit cards are recognised as established losses when a case is closed due to insolvency or passed for monitoring by the debt collection company. A case is primarily monitored after legal action has not succeeded. Closure/waiver of a case occurs when there is nothing to be obtained in the estate after death, for bankruptcy or by debt negotiation.
Description of inputs, assumptions and estimation techniques in the model for expected losses (ECL model)
In connection with the transition to IFRS 9 and new methods for loss calculation, KLP Banken/Group has developed PD and LGD models for the bank's/group's mortgage loan portfolio. A PD model has been developed for new mortgage customers and a PD model for existing mortgage customers. The first model uses data that is available at the time of application and is valid for 3 months after the mortgage is granted. The second model begins after 3 months, and also uses data that depends on the customer's behaviour (for example the number of days in arrears). Explanatory variables are age, income, number of payment reminders sent in the last 12 months, total number of days in arrears in the last 12 months, loan-to-value ratio, co-borrower, default in the last 12 months and product type.
Logistical regression was used to create the PD model. This method is considered an industry standard for PD models, it is easy to interpret and analyse the output from the model and it can provide high coefficient of determination given that certain assumptions are met. The method also makes it possible to combine pure quantitative analyses with expert assessments, which was useful when the data was somewhat limited. A thorough manual analysis of a relatively small sample of potential variables (due to limited data) was carried out to arrive at an optimal combination of variables.
The most important measure for a PD model is the model's ability to discriminate, i.e. the ability to distinguish bad customers from good customers. The ability to discriminate is measured using ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic), which provides some information about the proportion of predictions that are correct. The model is recalibrated at least yearly and the coefficient values can then be updated and the updated prediction level adjusted.
The lifetime probability of default (Lifetime PD) is used for all mortgage loans in KLP Banken excluding senior loans. The lifetime probability of default (LTPD) of an exposuer is calculated based on aggregated figures for historically observed default rates for each year of all exposures and each exposure's probability of default 12 months after start. The results from model development show that the default rate increases slightly in year 2 before then decreasing, so that the PD in year 2 is higher than in year 1. This is in line with the expected result, since it is expected that it will take some time before a newly granted mortgage loan experiences problems. A customer will typically seek to avoid default on a mortgage loan, and will typically default on other debts before he goes into default on the mortgage loan. The reduction in PD after year 2 can be explained by a "survivalship effect", i.e. the contracts that have not defaulted in the first 2 years are typically of better credit quality, and as the loans are repaid the risk becomes lower. Experience from the industry is that contracts that have existed for a certain period of time converge towards a stable observed default rate. For KLP Banken/Group's mortgage loan portfolio, 3 years has been set as the parameter for when the default level converges towards a long-term PD level. The long-term PD level is set at 0.3 per cent, which corresponds to the average PD for the best contracts in the portfolio.
Exposure at default (EAD) is used for all mortgages in KLP Banken/Group excluding senior loans. The EAD model has the same data sample as the LTPD model. If an exposureis in default, the exposure's balance at the time will be the bank's/group's exposure at default. EAD can be expressed for an exposure as a function of the likelihood that the contract will not be repaid within the time t. For repayment loans, EAD at time t is estimated as the exposure's balance at the time pursuant to the repayment schedule multiplied by the likelihood of the contract not being repaid within time t. The probability of a contract being terminated early within the year t is calculated as a percentage for each year in the future from 1 to 7 years.
Loss given default (LGD)
When estimating future credit loss it is important to look at the proportion of customers in default whose accounts become cured. The bank/group has examined at all historical defaults over 90 days and analysed the outcomes of these defaults. The results of the analysis show a very high level of defaults becoming cured. KLP Banken/Group has, since its inception, handled defaults and debt collection internally within the bank/group, and has one dedicated employee who handles exposures in default. The cases are followed closely, and there has been a limited number of defaults since the bank's inception. The analysis shows that the bank has had minimal losses, and most defaults have been reported as cured.
Cured default is defined as the account returning to ongoing status (no longer 90 days past due/90 days overdrawn over the bank's significant amount), or that the account is terminated without loss (typically through voluntary sale of collateral or refinancing in another bank). Non-cured default is defined as where the recovery process has resulted in the account having an established loss, or that an application for distraint has been made against the customer (foreclosure of the property or recovery of guarantee). Customers with status "nothing for distraint" also belong in this category). If the customer has entered debt negotiations, this is also defined as non-cured default. One last possibility is that the final outcome of the default is still unknown due to a short time horizon between the default date and modelling date. The figure below illustrates the various outcomes for a default.
The observed cure rate is calculated and validated at least yearly in the same way as during model development. If the observed cure rate deviates by more than 10 percentage points from the estimate used in the IFRS 9 model, an assessment shall be made of whether measures are needed, e.g. a re-estimation of the model.
Forward-looking information
A part of the assessment of future losses is the assessment of how the future will look with regard to the macroeconomic conditions that affect the bank's credit losses, e.g. interest rates, housing prices, unemployment rates etc. To calculate the expected credit loss (ECL), the bank has assumed three different scenarios, which are weighted for probability based on an assessment of the probability of each of the three outlined scenarios occurring. The scenarios used by the bank are one expected outcome, one pessimistic outcome and one optimistic outcome for expected credit loss, where the three scenarios have a factor for outcome and a probability that the scenario occurs. The total of the weighted scenarios constitutes the expected credit loss, and the probability that each scenario will occur will thus affect the expected credit loss. In the negative scenario, a house price fall of 10 percent and an increase in average PD of 32 percent, while the cure rate falls by 5 percentage points. This scenario is assigned 30 percent probability. In the positive scenario, the bank has assumed that house prices will increase by 5 percent and that the average PD will be halved. This scenario is assigned 10 percent probability. The expected scenario is thus weighted with a 60 percent probability.
If one only assumes a pessimistic scenario, the expected credit losses will roughly triple, and if one only assumes an optimistic scenario, the expected loss will increase with about 60 percent compared to the current losses. If only the positive scenario is assumed the expected losses will be reduced to about 40 percent of the current losses.
KLP Banken's risk forum assesses these scenarios and their weighting on a quarterly basis, based on changes in macroeconomic factors or other factors that may affect expected credit loss in the bank.

An individual loss write-down is calculated for every loan when the exposure is more than 90 days past due or is doubtful for other reasons. Examples of doubtful loans could be a deceased’s estate where the borrower has been granted relief because of payment problems, or where the borrower is in debt negotiations/restructuring. The posted loss write-down will be presented as the difference between the outstanding debt on the loan and the estimated realisable value of the collateral. When the collateral has been realised and no further legal action has been taken, the residual claim will be added to long-term monitoring (we currently use Lindorff for monitoring). The residual loan will then be recognised as a confirmed loss and removed from the balance sheet. Any subsequent payments on such claims will be recorded as recovery on past losses.

Individual loss write-downs on mortgages are evaluated independently based on its default status and collateral of the mortgage. For example, if a defaulted loan has progressed to compulsory sale and it is founds that the loan's collateral will not cover the loan's remaining debt, the 'difference' is recognised as an individual loss write-down. When the mortgage is realised and attempts at further recovery have been unsuccessful, the residual claim is added to long-time monitoring (we currently use Lindorff for long-term monitoring). The residual loan is then posted as an established loss and is removed from the balance sheet.
If funds can be recovered on established losses in the future, these will be recorded as recovery on past losses.

KLP Banken follows up commitments that defaulted when instalments and interest are not paid on time and the reason is that the customer cannot or will not pay. Arrears over 90 days are always reported as defaults. Furthermore, a commitment is considered defaulted if for various reasons it has been written off, e.g. through debt negotiations, established debt settlement and/or bankruptcy. The need to reduce individual defaults is assessed against the value of available security for the commitment. Loans/credit where losses have been established are passed for monitoring by the debt collection agency for further recovery and are followed up on a regular basis.
Loans/credit with individual loss write-downs, primarily mortgage loans, are followed up with agreement on ordinary voluntary sale or through the use of legally-enforced recovery such as compulsory sale or an application for distraint. After the collateral has been realised and if any agreement on repayment/redemption of the residual loan is not met, the case is transferred to the debt collection agency for further follow-up.

For the measurement of pension expense for 2020 used assumptions as of 31.12.2019, while for calculating pensjon liabilities 31.12.2020 used assumptions and population per 31.12.2020. The assumptions are based on market conditions per 31.12.2020 and in accordance with the recommendation from the Norwegian Accounting Standards Board. |
Actuarial assumptions
KLP’s joint pension scheme for local authorities and enterprises (“Fellesordningen”).
An important part of the basis of pension costs and pension obligations is how mortality and disability develop amongst the members of the pension scheme.
KLP has used the K2013BE mortality table based on Finance Norway’s analyses of mortality in life insurance populations in Norway and Statistics Norway’s extrapolations.
Take-up of contractual early retirement (AFP), (per cent in relation to remaining employees):
The costs of AFP depend on how many in each year-group take AFP. On reaching 62 years there are 42.5 per cent who retire with an AFP pension.
It is only those who are employed and working right up until they retire who are entitled to AFP. This is taken into account in the calculation of the AFP obligation.

Age (years) | <24 | 24-29 | 30-39 | 40-49 | 50-55 | >55 |
Turnover | 25% | 15% | 7.5% | 5% | 3% | 0 % |
Pensions via operations:
Take-up of AFP/premature retirement is not relevant to this scheme. In regard to mortality the same variant of K2013BE has been used as for Fellesordningen.

Short-term bonds | 16.9% | 15.0% |
Liquidity/money market | 3.9% | 5.2% |
Total | 100.0% | 100.0% |
The pension funds are based on KLP’s financial funds in the common portfolio. The table shows percentage placing of the pension funds administered by KLP at the end of the year. Value-adjusted return on the assets was 4.23 per cent in 2020 and 8.55 per cent in 2019.
Expected payment into benefit plans after cessation of employment for the period 1 January 2021 – 31 December 2021 is NOK 11.5 million.
Sensitivity analysis as at 31 December 2020 | |
---|---|
Discount rate reduced by 0.5% | Increase |
Gross pension obligation | 10.6% |
Accumulation for the year | 16.7% |
Salary growth increases by 0.25% | Increase |
Gross pension obligation | 1.1% |
Accumulation for the year | 2.2% |
Mortality increases by 10% | Increase |
Gross pension obligation | 2.5% |
Accumulation for the year | 1.9% |
The sensitivity analysis above is based on all other assumptions being unchanged. In practice that is an unlikely scenario and changes in some assumptions are correlated. The calculation of gross pension obligation and accumulation for the year in the sensitivity analysis has been done using the same method as in calculating gross pension obligation in the financial statement position.
The duration in the joint scheme is estimated at 17.8 years.

The KLP Board of Directors has laid down principles and guidelines for remuneration that apply for the entire Group and set up a remuneration committee as a subcommittee of the Board.
The committee reports on and carries out checks that the remuneration schemes in the Group are in line with the Board's principles and guidelines.
The Managing Director of KLP Banken AS has no agreement on performance pay (bonus) or guaranteed salary. He is pensionable aged 65.
Department Manager Public Sector Market also holds the position as the Managing Director of the subsidiary KLP Kommunekreditt AS, but he receives no remuneration for that appointment.

All employees of the KLP Group in Norway are registered in KLP's pension scheme for municipalities and companies. The employees earn pension rights in this scheme for salaries up to 12G.
Employees in the KLP Group with salaries above 12G and for lower retirement age than 67 years, also earn pension benefits for salaries above 12G. Full retirement pension in this additional cover amounts to 66% of salary above 12G, and is achieved after at least 30 years of earnings in the scheme. Employees with a special agreement for a lower pension age than 67 years are ensured an old-age pension corresponding to 66% of all pensionable salary up to 67 years. This add-on was closed May 2, 2013 and does not apply to employees who started after that date. Nor does the scheme apply to employees who were employed at this time in KLP, but who only receive salary above 12G after this date.
There are no obligations to provide the Chair of the Board of Directors with special consideration or other benefits on termination or change in employment contract or appointment.
Directors’ fees are set by the General Assembly. Board members employed in the KLP Group, not having been elected by and from the employees, do not receive a fee for the Board appointment. This applies to the following board members: Sverre Thornes, CEO of KLP, Aage E. Schaanning, CFO of KLP and Aina Iren Slettedal Eide, Group Chief Accountant at KLP. Benefits in addition to Directors’ fees for Board members employed in the KLP Group are stated only if they are included in the senior management group employed in the KLP Group. The same applies to information about lending.
All benefits are shown without the addition of social security costs and capital activity taxes.
The KLP Group offers loans for various purposes. There are separate loan terms for employees, and no senior employees have loan terms that deviate from these. Loans to external directors are only granted under ordinary loand terms. The interest rebate that accrues to employees is refunded to the lending company.
Attention is drawn otherwise to the description of the main principles on determination of remuneration in the KLP Group that may be found at klp.no.

Corporate responsibility in KLP Banken
KLP and KLP Banken have been contributing to sustainable social development for many years through loan financing of projects all over Norway. KLP’s goal for its lending operations is to have a positive effect on people, the environment and society. KLP aims to contribute to sustainable investments and responsible business management. This is achieved through actions related to the Group’s operations by financing socially beneficial investments in the public and private sectors, such as energy-saving initiatives through green mortgages and green loans in the local government sector.
Corporate responsibility in KLP
KLP’s ambition is to be a market leader in corporate responsibility and sustainability. Corporate responsibility has therefore been identified as one of the key areas of the Group’s strategy.
KLP’s strategic objectives within corporate responsibility are to:
- Integrate corporate responsibility into all our operations
- Increase investments that promote sustainable development and support our financial objectives
- Push companies and business sectors towards more sustainable operations
- Develop products and services that contribute to positive social development
The UN Sustainable Development Goals provide the framework for KLP’s corporate responsibility, and KLP aims be a driver in efforts to achieve these goals. KLP’s corporate responsibility strategy prioritises the social effects that KLP wishes to achieve through its corporate responsibility:
- Achieving the climate target
- A sustainable business community
- Sustainable urban development and infrastructure
- Health-promoting jobs in the public sector
These social effects are associated with several of the Sustainable Development Goals, as illustrated below:
KLP Banken is a Responsible Banking signatory
As part of KLP, KLP Banken aims to contribute to KLP achieving its goals within corporate responsibility. The bank was one of five Norwegian banks to become one of the UN Principles for Responsible Banking signatories, when they were launched in September 2019. The purpose of the Principles is to help ensure that the financial sector develops in accordance with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate Agreement. The Principles for Responsible Banking mean that the bank must be transparent about how its products and services generate value for customers and investors, as well as for society in general.
The six principles are as follows:
- Alignment - The bank will align its business strategy to be consistent with and contribute to individuals’ needs and society’s goals, as expressed in the Sustainable Development Goals, the Paris Climate Agreement and relevant national and regional frameworks.
- Impact and target setting - The bank will continuously increase its positive impacts while reducing the negative impacts on, and managing the risks to, people and environment resulting from its activities, products and services. To this end, the bank will set and publish targets where it can have the most significant impacts.
- Clients and customers - The bank will work responsibly with its clients and its customers to encourage sustainable practices and enable economic activities that create shared prosperity for current and future generations.
- Stakeholders - The bank will proactively and responsibly consult, engage and partner with relevant stakeholders to achieve society’s goals.
- Governance and culture – The bank will implement its commitment to these Principles through effective governance and a culture of responsible banking.
- Transparency and accountability - The bank will periodically review the individual and collective implementation of these Principles and be transparent about and accountable for its positive and negative impacts and its contribution to society’s goals.
Reporting to the UNEP FI
Signatory banks need to report on their implementation of the Principles the first time within latest 18 months after signing and annually thereafter (in line with their annual reporting cycle). KLP Banken will publish its report to the UNEP FI on klp.no at the same time as the annual report for 2020 is published. The bank here provides a summary of its reporting to the UNEP FI.
Principle 1: Alignment
KLP aims to be a market leader in corporate responsibility and sustainability. As mentioned earlier, corporate responsibility is one of the focal areas of KLP’s strategy. The UN Sustainable Development Goals are the framework for KLP’s corporate responsibility, and KLP aims to be a driving force in achieving the goals. KLP Banken will also contribute to reaching KLP’s targets within corporate responsibility. KLP’s goal for its lending activities is to influence people, the environment and society in a positive direction. By funding projects all over Norway, KLP Banken contributes to sustainable development in Norwegian municipalities and counties. Through its work on the UN Principles for Responsible Banking, the bank has worked in 2020 to adapt its strategy to the principles. In the strategy process in 2020, corporate responsibility and sustainability were agenda items both for the management team and at several board meetings during the year. When the bank’s updated strategy was launched in October 2020, corporate responsibility was one of the priority areas.
