Alternative Performance Measures

Sparebanken Møre has prepared Alternative Performance Measures (APMs) in accordance with ESMA's guidelines for APMs. We use APMs in our reports to provide additional information to the accounts and also as important financial performance figures for the management. The APM's are not intended to substitute accounting figures prepared in accordance with IFRS nor should they be given more emphasize. The key figures are not defined under IFRS or any other legislation and are not necessarily directly comparable with similar key figures in other banks or companies.

Justification This key figure is used in the calculation of percentage ratios for the performance items.

Return on equity Definition Profit/loss for the financial year as a percentage of the average equity for the year. Additional Tier 1 capital classified as equity is excluded from this calculation, both in profit/loss and in equity.

It provides relevant information about the profitability of the Group by measuring the profitability of the operation in relation to the invested capital. The profit/loss is adjusted for interest on Additional Tier 1 capital, which pursuant to IFRS, is classified as equity, but in this context more naturally is classified as liability since the Additional Tier 1 capital bears interest and does not entitle to dividend.
Calculation Profit after tax-interests on AT1 capital
((OB Equity-AT1-dividends-gifts)+(CB Equity-AT1-interests AT1-proposed dividend-gifts))/2
