Spar Nord Adjusts 2024 Financial Projections for Growth
Spar Nord Reassesses Financial Guidelines for 2024
Spar Nord has recently updated its financial forecasts, signaling a stronger-than-expected performance ahead for the year 2024. The bank has revised its profit expectations, now estimating a profit after tax within the range of DKK 2,100 to 2,300 million. This adjustment reflects the bank's confidence in its operational stability and market positioning.
Core Earnings Outlook Improvement
In the interim report for the first half of 2024, Spar Nord reaffirmed its forecast for that year's profit after tax, which was initially estimated between DKK 1,950 to 2,250 million. Additionally, the bank indicated its expectations for core earnings, before accounting for any impairment, at DKK 2,600 to 3,000 million.
Positive Trends in Core Earnings
The performance figures leading up to the third quarter indicate that core earnings before impairment have met the bank's projections. Spar Nord has maintained a consistent quality of credit for its retail and business customers, which has contributed to a minor net reversal of impairments for six consecutive quarters. This trend has positioned Spar Nord favorably compared to its peers.
Profit Impact from Impairment Charges
Given the continued strength in customer credit quality, the bank now anticipates the profit impact from impairment charges to be approximately DKK 0 million for the year 2024. This reflects the successful management strategies in place to mitigate risks while supporting customer sustainability.
Revised Guidance for Full-Year Earnings
With these positive developments in mind, Spar Nord has restructured its full-year guidance for profit after tax to DKK 2,100 to 2,300 million. In tandem with this, the guidance for core earnings before impairment has been refined to a narrower range of DKK 2,700 to 3,000 million.

Spar Nord is set to announce its financial results for the third quarter of 2024 on the scheduled date, which is 31 October 2024. This forthcoming report is highly anticipated and will provide stakeholders with a deeper insight into the bank's performance trends and future strategies.
