Bank of Åland Plc STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 1.11.2010 09.00 hrs
Interim Report for the period January - September 2010
The report period in brief
Ålandsbanken Sverige AB was consolidated for the first time on March 31, 2009,
which means that the company's balance sheet was included in the Bank of Åland
Group, while its earnings for Q1 2009 were not. During Q2 2009, the Bank of
Åland Group recognised EUR 23.1 M in negative goodwill as income. Consolidated
earnings and financial ratios for 2010 are thus not comparable to the
corresponding data for 2009.
-Consolidated net operating profit excluding negative goodwill decreased to 0.2
million euros (January-Sepember 2009: EUR 7.8 M).
-Net interest income decreased by 6 per cent to EUR 27.8 M (29.4)
-Commission income increased by 32 per cent to EUR 29.7 M (22.5)
-Total income increased by 12 per cent to EUR 72.0 M (64.1)
-Expenses rose by 23 per cent to EUR 66.5 M (54.2)
-Impairment losses on loans amounted to EUR 5.5 M (2.4)
-Lending volume increased by 5 per cent to EUR 2,547 M (Sepember 2009: 2,437)
-Deposits increased by 4 per cent to EUR 2,459 M (Sepember 2009: 2,375)
-Managed assets increased by 37 per cent to EUR 3,853 M (Sepember 2 009: 2,811)
-The total capital ratio in compliance with Basel 2 amounted to 12.5 per cent
(12.9)
-Compared to the second quarter of 2009, consolidated net operating profit
(excluding negative goodwill) amounted to EUR 2.1 M (April-June 2009: -1.2)
-The Group's operational earnings in 2010, excluding non-recurring income, are
expected to be substantially lower than in 2009. One of the reasons for this
is that the Bank of Åland recognised an impairment loss of EUR 5.0 M when a
corporate customer in Finland was declared bankrupt. The Group's operational
earnings for the last quarter of 2010 is projected to be at the same level as
in the first two quarters of the year.
Earnings and profitability
This Interim Report has been prepared in compliance with the International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) that have been adopted by the European
Union, as well as with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, “Interim
Financial Reporting”.
Earnings summary for the report period
The consolidated earnings of the Bank of Åland Group during the first nine
months of 2010 were slightly positive, despite the fact that the Bank of Åland
recognised a loan impairment loss of EUR 5.0 M during the period because a
corporate customer in Finland was declared b ankrupt. The Group's managed assets
continued to show very good growth, climbing to EUR 3.9 billion. Lending and
deposit volume increased moderately. Net interest income fell due to low market
interest rates and a continued squeeze on margins, but the trend reversed during
the second and third quarters of 2010. Crosskey Banking Solutions Ab Ltd's
operations expanded during the period, contributing to higher “Other operating
income”. During the period, the operations of Ålandsbanken Sverige AB were
loss-making. Third quarter earnings were weighed down by a dependence on
commission income in Swedish operations.
During January-September 2010, the consolidated net operating profit of the Bank
of Åland Group ' excluding negative goodwill ' decreased to EUR 0.2 M (Jan-Sep
2009: 7.8). During the second quarter of 2009, the Group recognised negative
goodwill of EUR 23.1 M as income, due to its purchase of Kaupthing Bank Sverige
AB.
Income excluding negative goodwill increased by 12 per cent to EUR 72.0 M
(64.1), while expenses rose by 23 per cent to EUR 66.5 M (54.2). Return on
equity after taxes (ROE) decreased to -1.7 (36.5) per cent, and earnings per
share to EUR -0.22 (2.35).
The loss at Ålandsbanken Sverige AB during the report period totalled EUR 11.1
M. The subsidiary group Ålandsbanken Sverige AB was consolidated in the Bank of
Åland Group for the first time on March 31, 2009. This meant that the company
was included in the statement of financial position, while earnings for 2009 did
not include effects generated in Ålandsbanken Sverige AB during the first
quarter of 2009. This affects comparability between the periods. The allocation
between the Group's Finnish and Swedish business areas can be found in the table
entitled “Earnings, operations in Finland and Sweden” on page 10.
Net interest income
During the report period, consolidated net interest income increased by 6 per
cent to EUR 27.8 M (29.4). Ålandsbanken Sverige AB had net interest income of
EUR 3.8 M. Rising margins and higher lending volume had a positive impact, while
shrinking deposit margins and higher refinancing costs depressed the Group's net
interest income. The Group reclassified valuations from “Net interest income” to
“Net income from securities transactions and foreign exchange dealing” to ensure
comparability between periods. This reclassification amounted to EUR 0.6 M in
the first quarter and EUR 1.0 M in the second quarter. The reclassification had
no impact on earnings and thus did not affect earnings per share.
Lending volume rose by 5 per cent to EUR 2,547 M (2,428). Deposit volume
increased by 4 per cent to EUR 2,459 M (2,375).
Other income
Commission income rose by 32 per cent to EUR 29.7 M (22.5). Income from
securities transactions as well as mutual fund and asset management continued to
increase sharply due to the Group's focus on private banking and the good stock
market trend. Commission income at Ålandsbanken Sverige AB amounted to EUR 11.5
M.
Net income from securities trading for the Bank's own account was EUR 0.6 M
(2.9). Net income from dealing in the foreign exchange market improved to EUR
2.6 M (1.5). Net income from financial assets available for sale was EUR 1.3 M
(0.3), and net income from investment properties increased to EUR 1.6 M (0.2).
Other operating income increased to EUR 13.3 M (10.4) as a consequence of higher
income from the sale and development of information technology (IT) systems.
The Group's total income, excluding negative goodwill, increased by 12 percent
to EUR 72.0 M (64.1).
Expenses
Staff costs rose by 24 per cent to EUR 38.8 M (31.2) as a consequence of
employee recruitments at Crosskey Banking Solutions Ab Ltd plus salary hikes as
prov ided by collective agreements. Changes in the Bank's pension fund,
Ålandsbanken Abp:s Pensionsstiftelse, according to the corridor approach reduced
staff costs by EUR 0.3 M (0.1).
Other administrative expenses (office, marketing, communications and IT)
increased to EUR 13.5 M (11.7). Production for own use totalled EUR 2.9 M (1.1)
and was related to expenses for computer software, which in accordance with
IFRSs must be capitalised. Depreciation/amortisation increased to EUR 5.2 M
(4.8). Other operating expenses amounted to EUR 11.9 M (7.6), of which EUR 5.4 M
arose at Ålandsbanken Sverige AB.
The Group's total expenses rose by 23 per cent to EUR 66.5 M (54.2).
Impairment losses on loans and other commitments
Impairment losses on loans rose to EUR 5.5 M (2.4). The increase was due to an
impairment loss of EUR 5.0 M targeted to a corporate customer in Finland. All
impairment losses were individually targeted. The Group's impairment losses
during the year amounted to 0.21 per cent of its loan portfolio, which is below
average for the Finnish commercial banking industry.
THIRD QUARTER OF 2010
Compared to the third quarter of 2009, the Group's net operating profit
(excluding negative goodwill) declined to EUR -4.1 M (Q3 2009: 2.7).
Income
Total income (excluding negative goodwill) increased by 7 per cent to EUR 23.1 M
(21.6). Net interest income decreased by 8 per cent to EUR 9.4 M (10.2) due to
low interest rates and higher refinancing expenses.
Commission income amounted to EUR 9.1 M (9.4). Commission income on mutual funds
and asset management improved during the period, while commission income from
securities trading, lending and payment intermediation decreased. Net income
from securities transactions and foreign exchange dealing increased to EUR 0.5 M
(0.4). Other operating income increased to EUR 4.3 M (3.1) as a consequence of
higher income from IT operations.
Expenses
Total expenses increased by 14 per cent to EUR 21.8 M (18.9). During the
quarter, staff costs amounted to EUR 12.3 M (11.3). Other administrative
expenses increased to EUR 4.8 M (4.2) during the third quarter, primarily
because of higher external computer expenses. Due to increased property rents,
other operating expenses rose to EUR 3.8 M (2.5).
Deposits
Deposits from the public, including bonds and cert ificates of deposit issued,
increased by 4 per cent to EUR 2,459 M (2,375), of which EUR 375 M (274)
consisted of deposits at Ålandsbanken Sverige AB. Deposit accounts rose by 2 per
cent to EUR 2,030 M (1,999). Bonds and certificates of deposit issued to the
public increased by 14 per cent to EUR 429 M (376).
Lending
The volume of lending to the public increased by 5 per cent and amounted to EUR
2,547 M (2,437). The volume of lending at
Ålandsbanken Sverige AB was EUR 206 M (133). Lending to households increased by
5 per cent to EUR 1,742 M (1,654). Households accounted for 68 (68) per cent of
the Group's total lending volume. Lending to companies rose by 2 per cent to EUR
778 M (759).
Balance sheet total and off-balance sheet obligations
At the end of the report period, the Group's balance sheet total was EUR 3,492 M
(3,321). During the period, the Group issued debenture loans 1/2010 and 2/2010
in the amount of EUR 29 M. Off-balance sheet obligations rose to EUR 342 M
(340).
ASsets under management
The Group's managed assets rose to EUR 3,853 M (2,811) during the r eport period.
Management of mutual fund units rose by 29 per cent to EUR 923 M (716), while
assets under discretionary management increased by 43 per cent to EUR 1,521 M
(1,074).

equivalent positions, totalled 666 (678) positions, which represented a decrease
by 12 positions compared to the preceding year.

Capital adequacy
The Group is reporting capital adequacy in accordance with Pillar 1 in the Basel
2 regulations. The Group's total capital ratio at the end of September 2010 was
12.5 per cent. The capital requirement for credit risks has been calculated
according to the standardised approach, and the capital requirement for
operational risks according to the basic indicator approach in the Basel 2
regulations. Risk management under Pillar 2 will be reported in the Annual
Report for 2009.
The Bank of Åland will endeavour to begin applying an Internal Ratings Based
(IRB) approach in compliance with Basel 2 to calculate its capital adequacy
requirement for credit risk, starting in 2011. An application requesting
approval for the use of Basel 2's IRB approach for calculating the capital
adequacy requirement for credit risk was submitted to the Finnish Financial
Supervision Authority during the report period. Our assessment, according to the
current regulations, is that this will substantially i mprove the Bank of Åland's
capital adequacy.

Important events after the close of the report period
No important events have occurred after the close of the report period.
Outlook for 2010
Most observers expect a continued gradual recovery in the general e conomy and in
the financial system during 2010, but the economic situation will remain
uncertain and there is thus great sensitivity.
The trend towards rising interest rates is expected to start benefiting net
interest income in traditional banking operations. The fourth quarter of the
year traditionally has higher commission income than the third quarter, and this
is expected to have a favourable impact on earnings.
The effect of cost-cutting measures in the Group's business operations in Sweden
is projected to be significantly larger than the previously announced EUR 1.5 M.
The reduction in expenses is expected to achieve its full impact from the
beginning of 2011. A good influx of customers and increased customer activity in
the Group's Swedish business operations are expected to result in rising
commission income. Combined with lower expenses, this means that earnings in
Sweden are expected to be significantly better than during the second and third
quarter of 2010.
Due to these and other factors, the Group expects its net operating profit
during the last quarter of 2010 to be at about the same level as its first and
second quarter earnings.
The Group's assessment of the outlook for 2010 is based on its assumptions about
future developments in the fixed income and financial markets. However, general
interest rates, the demand for lending, the trend of the capital and financial
markets and the competitive situation, as well as the general economic situation
are factors that the Group cannot influence.
Based on this assessment and taking into account that the Group's earnings in
2009 included sizeable non-recurring income attributable to negative goodwill
from the acquisition of Kaupthing Bank Sverige AB, earnings in 2010 are expected
to be substantially lower than in 2009. One of the reasons for this is that the
Bank of Åland recognised an impairment loss of EUR 5.0 M when a corporate
customer in Finland was declared bankrupt. The Group's operational earnings for
the last quarter of 2010 is projected to be at the same level as in the first
two quarters of the year.
