KLP Kommunekreditt ASQ1 2026
Interim Financial Statements 1/2026
Main features by first quarter end:
- Slight decline in lending volume during the quarter
- Lower net interest income year‑on‑year
- No realised loan losses
Objective
The Company's objective is financing KLP Banken's loans to municipalities, county administrations and enterprises carrying out public sector assignments. Loans to companies must be guaranteed by municipalities, county administrations or the central government under the Norwegian Local Government Act. Guarantees are to be of the ordinary surety type covering both repayments and interest. The lending business is principally funded issuing covered bonds (OMF).
KLP Kommunekreditt AS is a wholly owned subsidiary of KLP Banken AS. The KLP Banken AS is owned by Kommunal Landspensjonskasse (KLP).
Income statement
Operating profit before tax for the first quarter amounted to NOK 14.8 (24.2) million. Compared with the same period last year, there was a decline in net interest income and net results from financial instruments. In addition, operating expenses increased.
Net interest income for the first quarter amounted to NOK 20.9 (25.8) million. Lower lending margins on the loan portfolio resulted in reduced net interest income compared with the previous year, despite solid lending volumes.
Net gains and losses on financial instruments for the first quarter amounted to NOK -0.2 (3.2) million. This mainly includes costs related to repurchases of issued debt and value changes in liquidity placements. Realised and unrealised value changes in the Company’s liquidity placements had a positive profit effect of NOK 1.1 (3.2) million in the first quarter.
Operating expenses amounted to NOK -6.0 (-4.8) million for the first quarter. The Company has had no loan losses and maintains very low loss provisions.
Lending and total assets
Customer lending as of 31 March 2026 amounted to NOK 21.9 (19.4) billion. So far this year, customer lending has declined by NOK 0.6 billion. Borrowers consist of municipalities, county authorities and entities with municipal guarantees.
Total assets amounted to NOK 25.1 (23.7) billion at the end of the quarter.
Liquid investments
The cover pool related to the Company’s funding is subject to strict requirements. In addition to lending to the public sector, it consists of secure securities and bank deposits. The securities portfolio comprises certificates and bonds with very high credit quality, primarily covered bonds.
As of 31 March 2026, the market value of the Company’s interest‑bearing securities portfolio was NOK 2.3 (3.5) billion.
Funding
The Company’s funding consists of covered bonds (OMF) and loans from KLP Banken AS. Intragroup funding amounted to NOK 0.5 (1.6) billion at the end of the quarter. Outstanding covered bond debt totalled NOK 23.4 (21.0) billion.
During the first quarter, NOK 1.5 billion was issued in existing covered bond programmes, while no new covered bonds were issued. Net repurchases or sales from the Company’s own holdings of previous issuances amounted to NOK -1.0 (0.0) billion in the first quarter. All covered bond issuances are rated Aaa by Moody’s.
Risk management and capital adequacy
KLP Kommunekreditt AS has established a risk management framework to ensure that risks are identified, analysed and managed through policies, limits, procedures and instructions. The Company maintains a conservative risk profile, with earnings primarily generated through lending and funding activities and liquidity management. This implies low market risk.
Interest rate risk arising from lending and funding activities is mitigated through the use of derivatives. The Company is required to maintain adequate long‑term funding within established limits. Credit risk is very low, as lending is limited to exposures with municipal risk. Liquidity is placed with banks meeting high credit quality requirements and in securities in accordance with Board‑approved credit guidelines.
Common equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital under the capital adequacy rules amounted to NOK 1,064 (1,008) million at the end of the first quarter of 2026. Loans to municipalities and county authorities carry a regulatory risk weight of 20 percent. The CET1 ratio and total capital adequacy ratio were 21.1 (21.6) percent at the end of the quarter. The minimum requirement for total capital adequacy is 17.5 percent. The leverage ratio was 4.2 (4.2) percent, compared with a minimum requirement of 3.0 percent.
Outlook
The presence of KLP Kommunekreditt AS together with KLP in the market for public sector lending contributes to competition and thereby enables the public sector to access long‑term financing on favourable terms. Aggregate growth over recent years indicates a solid market position.
High credit quality in the loan portfolios is expected to support favourable funding terms. Regulatory requirements for capital and liquidity applicable to banks and financial institutions necessitate sustainable earnings to ensure ongoing compliance with such requirements.
The market for lending to the municipal sector continues to grow, and a significant proportion of new borrowing is financed through the securities market rather than directly by financial institutions. KLP Kommunekreditt AS is well capitalised and benefits from its position as a stable, long‑term lender in a low‑risk market. The extent to which the Company can finance lending growth on terms that support sufficient profitability will largely depend on the general development of the financial markets.
In connection with the Norwegian state budget for 2026, the Parliament requested the government to assess whether loans to municipalities should carry the same regulatory risk weight as loans to the central government (0 percent). To date, the government has not followed up this request.
Norwegian municipalities have developed a comprehensive range of public services. Increased life expectancy, demographic developments, income growth and climate risk are expected to result in substantial investment levels in the public sector in the years ahead. The Norwegian Association of Local and Regional Authorities (KS) has indicated in its annual budget survey that investment levels and new borrowing in 2026 are expected to remain broadly in line with the previous year. Demand for loans financing climate adaptation projects is also expected to increase going forward.
The Board assumes that there will continue to be a need for significant long‑term and stable financing beyond what the securities market alone can provide to public sector borrowers. KLP Banken’s expertise in municipal finance shall, irrespective of balance sheet size, be utilised in KLP’s asset management mandate. Together, KLP Kommunekreditt AS and KLP will remain key providers of lending for public sector investment purposes.

Fair value shall be a representative price based on what a corresponding asset or liability would have been traded for on the balance sheet day. 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 to the leaste extent possible on company-specific information.
The different financial instruments are thus priced in the following way:
Fixed-income securities - government
Nordic Bond Pricing is used as a source for pricing Norwegian government bonds.
Fixed-income securities - other than government
Norwegian fixed-income securities are generally priced based on rates from Nordic Bond Pricing. Securities not covered by Nordic Bond Pricing are priced theoretically. The theoretical price should be based on the discounted value of the security's future cash flows. Discounting is done using a swap curve adjusted for credit spread and liquidity spread. The credit spread should, to the extent possible, be based on a comparable bond from the same issuer. Liquidity spread is determined at the discretion of the evaluator.
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.
Fair value of loans to Norwegian local administrations
Fair value of lending without fixed interest rates is considered virtually the same as book value since the contract terms are continuously changed in step with market interest rates. Fair value of fixed rate loans is calculated by discounting contractual cash flows by the marked rate including a relevant risk margin on the reporting date. This is measured at Level 2 in accordance with the fair value hierarchy, cf. Note 6.
Fair value of loans to and receivables from credit institutions
All receivables from credit institutions (bank deposits) are at variable interest rates. Fair value of these is considered virtually the same as book value since the contract terms are continuously changed in step with marked interest rates.

Level 1: Instruments at this level obtain fair value from listed prices in an active market for identical assets or liabilities to which the entity has access at the reporting date. Examples of instruments in Level 1 are stock market listed securities.
Level 2: Instruments at 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 therefore not 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 is based generally on discrete calculations where the actual fair value may deviate if the instrument were to be traded.
Note 5 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. 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.
