Länsförsäkringar Hypotek: January – March 2021

"Länsförsäkringar Hypotek’s mortgage lending operations continued to perform positively and we can report high earnings for the period. Lending growth is stable, while credit quality remains high and credit losses very low. We are continuing to capture market shares due to the outstanding work performed locally by the regional insurance companies. At the same time, we can see continued competition in the mortgage market in which several small players, both new and established, are taking a higher share of new loans. The housing market remained strong even in the first quarter and housing prices have reached new record highs. Expectations of very low interest rates continuing in the future remains a contributing factor for the strong price trend. However, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic continues to present a risk as regards the performance of the economy, although hopes of a robust recovery continue to dominate”, says Anders Borgcrantz, President of Länsförsäkringar Hypotek.

The period in brief:

• Operating profit increased 6% to SEK 350.9 M (330.1) and the return on equity amounted to 8.2% (8.3).
• Net interest income rose 2% to SEK 667.8 M (654.7).
• Credit losses amounted to SEK –1.9 M (1.6), net, corresponding to a credit loss level of –0.00% (0.00).
• Lending increased 8% to SEK 263.8 billion (243.4).
• The Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio amounted to 18.5% (18.4*) on 31 March 2021.
