Annual report – financial results 2023

"Following our changed fixed income strategy, net trading income increased significantly in 2023, while fee income was resilient due to activity-based fees and increasing capital markets activity, even though housing market activity remained subdued. With our continued efforts to improve efficiency and focused cost control, costs continued the downward trend. Together with strong credit quality resulting in low impairments, this means that we have significantly strengthened our profitability."

Carsten Egeriis

Chief Executive Officer

Outlook for 2024

Total income is expected to grow in 2024, driven by higher core income, our continued efforts to drive commercial momentum and in line with our financial targets for 2026. Income from trading and insurance activities will be subject to financial market conditions.

We expect operating expenses in 2024 to be in the range of 26–26.5 billion, reflecting increased investments in line with our financial targets for 2026 and continued focus on cost management. The outlook includes non-recurring items of approximately DKK 0.6 billion related to the relocation to the new domicile and minor costs for the divestment of the personal customer business in Norway.

Loan impairment charges are subject to an elevated level of geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty and are expected to reflect our assumptions in our financial targets for 2026 of approximately 8 basis points p.a.

We expect net profit to be in the range of DKK 20-22 billion.

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