Birna Einarsdóttir, Chief Executive Officer at Íslandsbanki: "2014 was a good year for Íslandsbanki. We strengthened our core operations by increasing efficiency and enhancing revenue growth. Efforts to streamline the business lines have been effective with the cost from regular operations falling by 2% year on year, which is about 4% in real terms. Amongst the measures that have been taken are the merging of branches, the renegotiation of supplier contracts and a reduction in the number of employees, indeed 240 fewer than November 2011 Good progress has been made in diversifying the Bank's funding with Íslandsbanki now the largest issuer of covered bonds in Iceland. Íslandsbanki was also the first Icelandic bank to issue a Euro- denominated bond, and the outstanding SEK bond was tapped. The Bank's performance has attracted attention abroad with both Euromoney and The Banker awarding Íslandsbanki as the best bank in Iceland. In addition, the Bank received the highest rank of any credit institutions in the Icelandic customer satisfaction survey. This momentum has resulted in an increased market share for the Bank with the largest growth in lending since its establishment. New lending amounted to ISK 165 billion, a 80% increase on the previous year. Customer satisfaction is an essential part of a successful business, and the Bank continues to focus on providing an excellent service." INVESTOR MEETING AT KIRKJUSANDUR Later today at 16 pm, Birna Einarsdóttir, CEO of Íslandsbanki, and Jón Guðni Ómarsson, CFO, will present the financial results to market participants, followed by a Q&A session.
