Financial result 2022

"2022 was a year of significant economic uncertainty and high volatility. We stayed close to our customers to help them navigate and to support households, businesses and society as a whole.

Good customer activity and larger lending volumes in our corporate segments throughout the year led to increasing net interest income for the eighth consecutive quarter and a robust level of net fee income. While the unprecedented volatility in especially the rates markets impacted our trading income and our insurance business, we saw positive trends towards the end of the year. Furthermore, underlying costs continued to trend in a downward direction.

To have a net loss on the bottom line is of course not satisfactory. However, it comes as a consequence of the conclusion of the Estonia matter, which marks an important turning point for Danske Bank. "

Carsten Egeriis

Chief Executive Officer

Outlook for 2023

We expect net profit to be in the range of DKK 15 – 17bn including the impact from the new Danish bank tax. 

We expect core income lines to grow in 2023, driven by higher net interest income and our continued efforts to drive commercial momentum.Despite a high degree of uncertainty, we expect income from trading and insurance activities to recover from the levels in 2022.

 

We expect costs in 2023 to be in the range of 25 – 25.5bn reflecting a continued focus on cost management and despite inflationary pressure. The outlook includes sustained elevated remediation costs of approximately DKK 1.1bn.


We expect loan impairment charges of up to DKK 3bn (~18bp) which primarily will be driven by a weaker macroeconomic outlook affecting model-driven impairments.




The outlook is subject to uncertainty and depends on economic conditions.
