Lilja Björk Einarsdóttir, CEO of Landsbankinn:

"Unusually high inflation in the first quarter, or 10.3% on an annualised basis compared with 4.2% the same time last year, colours the results, with the impact of inflation, high interest rates and global uncertainty showing in the Bank's financial statements. Due to increased uncertainty, provisions for loan impairment have risen. When assessing impairment, we consider potential impacts on households and key industries and make precautionary provisions to be prepared for potential shocks, although defaults remain low.

The first-quarter results are strong across all operating areas. Return on equity was 13.5%, exceeding forecasts, with the increase mainly explained by unexpectedly high inflation. The Bank's indexed lending amounts to approximately ISK 660 billion, while indexed liabilities are significantly lower. During inflation periods, the principal of indexed loans increases, which we recognize as interest income. We expect the net interest margin to be 3% for the full year.

It has now been about a year since TM was integrated into the Landsbankinn Group. In March, we introduced new initiatives allowing individuals and families to access insurance services from Landsbankinn both at service locations across the country and through the Bank's app. Customers have responded very positively to being able to access all financial services in one place, whether traditional banking services or TM insurance. Visibility and sales of insurance in the app are part of the ongoing, robust development of digital services that has made Landsbankinn's app the most powerful in Iceland, with the widest range of services and functionalities.

Landsbankinn is a strong lending bank and loans to companies amounted to ISK 1,018 billion at the end of March. The financial statement discusses the status of construction projects financed by the Bank; their collateral position is generally strong and has improved in recent years. It is clear that high interest rates have a significant impact on all businesses, as well as on individuals and families trying to buy their first home or upgrade to a larger one, as it is more difficult to pass credit assessments. This is reflected in the fact that mortgage lending at the Bank remained almost unchanged during the quarter, apartment sales are slower for developers and there are more undeveloped plots.

The composition of new housing mortgages has changed significantly over the past year. It is now the case that almost all new mortgages issued during the period were non-indexed, as the Bank has limited the supply of inflation-indexed loans and instead focused on offering the most competitive non-indexed mortgages. The difference between the Central Bank of Iceland's policy rate and the lowest 12-month fixed interest rate on a mortgage from Landsbankinn is 1.25 percentage points. The policy rate is 7.5% with the lowest 12M fixed rates on a housing mortgage coming it at 8.75%. Around a quarter of new mortgages this year to date carry a 12M fixed rate and about half carry a 5Y fixed rate at 8.20%.

It is certainly good news that inflation decreased in the latest measurement. High inflation and high interest rates affect individuals, families and businesses alike. The most important task we face is to bring inflation under control so that conditions can be created for lowering interest rates. In doing so, we can stimulate economic activity and create a foundation for investments that generate jobs and opportunities."
