Summary
“Jyske Bank has had a strong start to the first three quarters of the year
and has raised its expectations for 2025. The upgrade was boosted by a broadly
based, positive development. We have seen the effect of favourable financial
markets combined with continued solid credit quality, a high level of
activity, particularly in asset management, and inflow of new customers in
priority segments”, says Lars Mørch, CEO and Member of the Group Executive
Board.
Earnings per share rose by 3% in Q1-Q3 2025 compared with the preceding year
despite the impact from considerably lower short-term interest rates. The
business volume showed sustained advance with momentum in asset management, in
particular. On this background, expectations of the net profit for 2025 were
upgraded to DKK 4.9bn-5.3bn from originally DKK 3.8bn-4.6bn.
The Danish economy and employment are on the rise, and activity in the housing
market has increased. Inflation is under control with prospects of a balanced
economic cycle. Customers' financial situation is generally robust, and we are
well equipped to help customers cope with volatility and uncertainty.
Strategic momentum and significant steps in 2025
Jyske Bank has continued to work purposefully to strengthen the business and
future-proof Jyske Bank through investments in selected customer segments,
digitisation, and sustainability.
We have focused particularly on translating the strategy into an enhanced
customer experience and underpinning the Group's robustness. We are seeing the
first effects of AI becoming an integral part of the daily work of the vast
majority of employees, paving the way for value-creating customer contact and
front-line advice, as well as greater efficiency in support and control
functions.
Continued progress in customer satisfaction
In 2024, Jyske Bank achieved the greatest improvement in customer satisfaction
among personal customers, and the positive trend in customer satisfaction has
continued into 2025 thanks to targeted efforts. Earlier in the year, Jyske
Bank ranked first among corporate customers with more than 20 employees and
was named “Best at Private Banking” for the tenth year running, cf.
Voxmeter.
Strengthened position in Copenhagen
By bringing together 950 employees in the Glass Cube at Kalvebod Brygge, we
have created a strong professional environment, improved cross-functional
collaboration and strengthened customer advisory services. The new premises
provide both customers and employees with better access, while also optimising
our cost structure.
Focus on sustainability
Sustainability has become an even more integral part of our value proposition.
We have launched new green products, strengthened partnerships such as Bodil
Energi, and developed progress loans that support our customers' green
transition. Jyske Realkredit also remains the mortgage credit institution that
has issued the highest amount of green bonds in Denmark.
New member of the Executive Board
On 1 June 2025, Ingjerd Blekeli Spiten took office as Head of Personal Banking
and Wealth Management and new member of the Group Executive Board.
DKK 62.5 per share in 2025 Q1-Q3
Jyske Bank’s earnings per share were up by 3% to DKK 62.5, supported by a
positive activity development and a solid credit quality as well as a lower
amount of shares in circulation.
Core income declined by 4% due to lower net interest income after Danmarks
Nationalbank's policy rate decreased to an average of 1.9% for Q1-Q3 2025 from
3.5% in the previous year. Net fee and commission income showed a continued
advance of 13%, driven by rising assets under management, customers' selection
of our investment products and a higher level of activity.
Core expenses fell by 1% in Q1-Q3 2025. Adjusted for non-recurring expenses,
underlying core expenses rose by 1% as contractual wage adjustments and
inflation more than offset fewer employees and lower contributions to the
Resolution Fund. Non-recurring items relating to the acquisitions of
Handelsbanken Danmark and PFA Bank declined as a result of completed
integration processes.
Loan impairment charges amounted to an income of DKK 22m against an expense of
DKK 13m in the preceding year. The reversal reflects a solid credit quality
and includes the effect from an increase in post model adjustments of DKK 99m
to DKK 1.9bn.
The capital base remains strong after the implementation of Basel IV in 2025.
The common equity tier 1 capital ratio amounted to 16.2% and the total capital
ratio amounted to 23.0% at the end of Q3 2025. This exceeds the target levels,
despite a reservation for an expected capital distribution of 1.1 percentage
points.
