BI Holding A/S (Bankinvest), the asset manager in which Spar Nord has been a shareholder since its inception and currently holds an ownership interest of about 15%, today decided to revise its valuation principles for the company’s share.
The change, which among other things is a reflection of recent years’ strong earnings performance in Bankinvest, will result in tax-exempt income for Spar Nord of about DKK 75 million, which will be recognised in the financial statements for Q1 2018 under market value adjustments.
As a result of the above, Spar Nord upgrades its guidance for core earnings before impairment for the full-year 2018 from about DKK 1.2 billion to about DKK 1.3 billion and the expected profit after tax from around DKK 0.9 billion to around DKK 1.0 billion.
