Interim Report - Third quarter 2026

"More customers are choosing us and trusting us with their business, which is leading to a continued improvement in our financial performance. This can be seen, among other things, in higher corporate lending and continued net inflows into our investment solutions, which have brought assets under management to a record high. It confirms the value that customers see in the advice and solutions we offer.

We continue to make good progress on our Forward ’28 strategy. Investments in advisory services, digital solutions, AI and technology are making us more competitive and efficient, while also enabling more proactive and personalised advice. We remain on track to deliver on our 2028 financial targets."

Carsten Egeriis
Chief Executive Officer

Outlook for 2026

We have narrowed the financial outlook for the full year 2026 as we now expect a net profit in the range of DKK 24-25 billion, reflecting a return on equity of above 14% in 2026.

We expect total income to be somewhat above DKK 59 billion, driven by higher core banking income from higher customer activity, growing volumes and recent policy rate hikes. Income from trading and insurance activities remains subject to financial market conditions.

We expect operating expenses in the range of DKK 26-26.5 billion in 2026. The cost/income ratio is expected to be below 45%.

Loan impairment charges are now expected to be no more than DKK 0.6 billion, as a result of continued strong credit quality.
