Announcement of Financial Statements 2016 • Profit from core business was DKK 1,517m compared with DKK 1,755m in 2015, equivalent to a return on equity of 9.2% in 2016. • Core income from business operations totalled DKK 3,428m, which represented a 3.2% decline on 2015. • Operating costs and depreciation of equipment totalled DKK 2,060m against DKK 1,915m in 2015. The rise should partly be seen in light of the Bank's investment in its Wealth Management area. • Impairment losses on loans and advances equalled a gain of DKK 141m. Impairment losses were negative 0.1% of loans and advances – the same as in 2015. • Legacy derivatives produced a charge of DKK 763m against a gain of DKK 229m in 2015. This category consists of derivatives that are no longer offered to Nykredit customers. • Profit after tax for the year came to DKK 627m against DKK 1,542m in 2015. • Profit before tax generated a return on equity of 4.8% in 2016. • Bank lending and deposits grew by DKK 8.3bn and DKK 3.5bn compared with 2015.
