Länsförsäkringar Hypotek: Report January - March 2018

”The positive performance for Länsförsäkringar Hypotek continues and operating profit trended positively due to continued strong net interest income. Lending growth is stable, while credit quality remains high and credit losses very low. Our market share in the mortgage market is continuously increasing and the inflow of new customers is continuing, which indicates that customers value Länsförsäkringar’s mortgage offering. The price trend of the housing market remained in focus during the period and the stricter repayment requirements came into effect in March. Although a stricter repayment culture is essentially a healthy development, politicians must further concentrate on the function of the housing market, make it less sluggish and reduce lock-in effects moving forward.”, says Anders Borgcrantz, President of Länsförsäkringar Hypotek.

The period in brief:

• Operating profit increased 37% to SEK 236.4 M (172.2) and the return on equity amounted to 6.9% (6.6).
• Net interest income increased 19% to SEK 585.4 M (490.6).
• Credit losses amounted to SEK –0.3 M (–0.7), net, corresponding to a credit loss level of –0.00% (–0.00).
