Half-year results 2024
Summary of the quarter:
- Continued high-quality income growth. Net interest income grew 4% and net fee and commission income returned to growth, up 6%. Net insurance result and net fair value result were solid, following a strong second quarter last year. Total income improved, up 3%. Inflation and continued significant investments in technology, data and risk management capabilities resulted in a cost increase of 6%, in line with Nordea's plan. Operating profit held up well, 2% lower compared with a year ago.
-
Return on equity 17.9% - earnings per share
EUR 0.37. Nordea's return on equity remained very strong at 17.9% in the second quarter, reflecting Nordea's resilience and continued high performance. The cost-to- income ratio with amortised resolution fees remained stable at 43% compared with a year ago. Earnings per share were EUR 0.37, unchanged from a year ago. - Mortgage lending stable and growing deposit volumes. The Nordic mortgage and corporate lending markets remained slow. Mortgage lending volumes were unchanged and corporate lending volumes decreased slightly. Retail and corporate deposit volumes increased by 1% and 5%, respectively, year on year. Assets under management increased by 10% and Nordic net flows amounted to EUR 1.9bn in the quarter.
- Solid credit quality, net loan losses increase mainly driven by a few single corporate exposures. Net loan losses and similar net result amounted to EUR 68m or 8bp. EUR 30m was released from the management judgement buffer reflecting improved macroeconomic outlook. The total management judgement buffer now stands at EUR 464m.
- Continued strong capital position. Nordea's CET1 ratio increased to 17.5%, 4.4 percentage points above the current regulatory requirement, which demonstrates the bank's continued strong underlying capital generation and capacity to support its customers. In July, Nordea received ECB approval for new capital models for retail exposures, and the new models are expected to go live in Q3 this year. The impact on REA*, after adjusting for prospective rule changes recently proposed by the Norwegian FSA, is broadly in line with Nordea's expectations.
- Outlook for 2024 unchanged: return on equity above 15%. Nordea has a strong and resilient business model with a very well-diversifiedloan portfolio across the Nordic region. This enables the bank to support its customers and deliver high-qualityearnings, with high profitability and low volatility, through the economic cycle.

CEO comment
This was another strong quarter for Nordea. Second-quarter return on equity reached 17.9%, led by growth in both net interest and net fee and commission income. Our results show that despite the slow economy we continue to make good progress on our strategic priorities and deliver industry- leading financial performance.
Macroeconomic uncertainty remains high due to the challenging geopolitical climate. Nevertheless, household and business sentiment in the Nordics has recently shown signs of improvement. Inflation has fallen, and during the quarter we saw the first policy rate cuts in three of our four home markets. These cuts, along with further anticipated reductions this year, should help brighten the picture for the Nordic economies.
Total income for the quarter was EUR 3.0bn, an increase of 3% year on year. Year-on-year net interest income improved by 4%. We also grew net fee and commission income by 6%, driven by higher activity in savings and investments and continued outstanding performance in debt capital markets.
We continue to engage extensively with our customers across all touch points. During the quarter, we assisted customers in 259,000 advisory meetings, 7% more than a year ago.
Furthermore, use of our digital banking services reached another record high. We have further strengthened our digital services, adding more personalisation, self-service features and improved protection against fraud. Good customer satisfaction scores show that our efforts are appreciated.
Cost development was as planned and reflected the significant investments we continue to make into our technology infrastructure, data and AI, digital offering, financial crime prevention and other risk management capabilities, as well as integration costs related to our Norwegian acquisition. The lower resolution fees this year have given us the opportunity to further increase overall investment capacity. Excluding regulatory fees, costs increased by 6% year on year, while our cost-to-income ratio with amortised resolution fees was stable at 43%. Operating profit was stable at EUR 1.7bn.
Net interest margin continued to improve year on year, and remained stable for the third quarter in a row. We improved lending margins, with mortgage lending volumes stable year on year, and corporate lending down 1%. Retail and corporate deposit volumes increased by 1% and 5%, respectively, with resilient deposit margins. The positive development in deposit volumes demonstrates resilience among our household and business customers in the face of higher living and operating costs.
Our risk position is sound, and credit quality continues to be strong and in line with our long-term expectations. Net loan losses and similar net result were EUR 68m, or 8bp, mainly driven by provisions for a few single corporate client exposures. Reflecting the improved macroeconomic outlook, we released EUR 30m from our management judgement buffer, which now stands at EUR 464m.
Our four business areas did well. In Personal Banking we continued to see good customer savings activity. We have expanded our range of deposit products, which contributed to
- 2% year-on-year increase in deposit volumes in local currencies. While the Nordic housing markets were subdued,
we delivered stable mortgage lending volumes. In the latter part of the quarter we saw the first small signs of improvement as demand for new loan promises grew. Customers continued to take advantage of our digital services, with the number of private app users and logins up 5% and 12%, respectively, year on year. Fraud is a growing problem for societies and we have continued to strengthen the measures that keep our customers safe. Alongside increased monitoring we have implemented enhanced security features, such as delayed withdrawals and transaction limits, and continue to raise awareness about fraud through active dialogue in society and our marketing activities.
In Business Banking we worked closely with our customers to help them address the current economic challenges and growth opportunities. Our lending volumes were stable year on year in local currencies, as overall market demand remained subdued. Deposit volumes increased by 1%. Activity in the capital markets increased and we supported our customers in securing both equity and bond market funding in the more stable interest rate environment.
In Large Corporates & Institutions we kept up the good momentum from the first quarter, actively supporting our Nordic customers with their investment plans. Lending volumes decreased by 2%, and deposit volumes increased by 12% year on year. In debt capital markets, activity remained high. We supported our customers with more than 150 transactions, as issuers are keen to front-load their funding plans in the current favourable market. Activity in the equity capital markets also showed signs of picking up.
In Asset & Wealth Management we further grew our private banking business and secured positive net flows of EUR 2.0bn. In line with our growth strategy, we reached an all- time-high customer intake during the quarter in Norway and Sweden. Assets under management increased by 10% year on year to EUR 400bn. We continued to grow with strong momentum in our life insurance and pension business. In Denmark, our local life insurance company was voted pension company of the year by Finanswatch and EY. Gross written premiums reached new record highs, increasing to EUR 2.9bn from EUR 2.2bn a year ago.
Capital generation remains strong, and we further reinforced our capital position. At the end of the quarter, our CET1 ratio stood at 17.5%, or 4.4 percentage points above the capital requirement. In July we received ECB approval for new capital models for retail exposures. The net impact on our REA, after adjusting for prospective rule changes recently proposed by the Norwegian FSA, is broadly in line with our expectations. Following the approval, we have initiated a dialogue with the ECB regarding a resumption of share buy- back programmes from early 2025.
Our results for the second quarter keep us on track to deliver strong profitability in 2024. We expect to achieve a return on equity of above 15% for the full year, and also target a return of equity of above 15% for 2025. We are determined to push forward with our strategic priorities and to further improve customer experience and operational performance.
Our ambition remains unchanged - to be the preferred financial partner for customers in need of a broad range of financial services.

President and Group CEO

Macroeconomy and financial markets1
Global
The global economy grew by 0.7% quarter on quarter in the first quarter of 2024 according to the World Bank. The US economy dampened, China's recovery continued, while the European economy picked up after five quarters of stagnation. Activity indicators point to moderate growth in the second quarter of 2024 driven by the service sector, while the outlook for the manufacturing sector remains weak owing to a low order intake and generally subdued development in world trade. Labour markets remained strong. The outlook continues to be uncertain amid geopolitical risks and tighter monetary conditions.
Most central banks around the world have tightened monetary policy significantly to dampen demand and anchor inflation expectations around 2%. However, as inflation has come down substantially, the European Central Bank cut interest rates by 0.25 percentage points in June. It was the first rate cut in almost five years. The deposit facility rate now stands at 3.75%. The Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged in the second quarter and the US federal funds rate still stands at 5.5%.
Risk sentiment in the financial markets improved during the second quarter. The S&P 500 index was up almost 4%; the STOXX Europe 600 was flat and the NASDAQ OMX Nordic 120 was up 5.4%. The global aggregate bond index was down almost 1%.
Finland
Finnish GDP increased by 0.2% quarter on quarter in the first quarter of 2024. Growth was driven by private and public consumption, while construction investments were still declining and foreign trade was impacted negatively by political strikes. Weak purchasing power, low consumer confidence and high interest rates are still holding back the housing market. Housing transactions remain at a low level and housing prices were 2.8% lower in May than in the same month last year. The unemployment rate rose to 8.2% in May. Year-on-year harmonised consumer price inflation was 0.6% in June. Price pressures have eased in all main price categories.
Norway
Norwegian mainland GDP increased by 0.2% quarter on quarter during the first quarter of 2024. Unemployment was 2.0% on a seasonally adjusted basis in June. Housing prices were up 2.2% year on year in June. Consumer price inflation has decreased but is still high. Headline consumer price inflation stood at 2.6% in June and underlying inflation, excluding energy and taxes, was 3.4%. Norges Bank has increased its policy rate 14 times since 2021, lifting it to 4.5% as of December 2023. The central bank's latest forecast is that the rate will probably be kept unchanged until the spring of 2025. The Norwegian krone generally strengthened against most currencies during the second quarter.
Nordic economic activity held up well in the quarter, with signs of improving business and household sentiment. The outlook remains uncertain against a background of moderate global growth and financial tightening.
Denmark
Danish GDP fell by 1.4% quarter on quarter in the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to contraction in the pharmaceutical industry after a large increase in the fourth quarter of 2023. Household consumption fell by 0.2%, mainly due to sharply contracting car sales. Exports also declined, while fixed investment increased. During the second quarter consumer confidence increased to the highest level since early 2022. Business sentiment also improved in the second quarter. Since the start of the year, the unemployment rate has stayed unchanged at 2.9%. House and apartment prices were up 3.4% and 3.9%, respectively, year on year in the first quarter of 2024. Year-on-year consumer price inflation stood at 1.8% in June. Danmarks Nationalbank cut its monetary policy interest rate by 0.25 percentage point to 3.35% in June, following a similar move by the European Central Bank.
Sweden
Swedish GDP increased by 0.7% quarter on quarter during the first quarter of 2024. Domestic demand remained weak, while exports and inventories rose. Demand for labour continued to weaken and the unemployment rate remained high at 8.2% in May. House and apartment prices have bottomed out and were 3% higher in June compared to one year earlier. Year-on-year consumer price inflation stood at 1.3% in June. Sveriges Riksbank kept its policy rate unchanged at 3.75% in June, after cutting 0.25 percentage point in May, and continued to scale back its balance sheet. The trade-weighted Swedish krona strengthened by 1.4% in the course of the second quarter.
