Sparebank1 Nord-Norge (Buy, TP: NOK113.00) - Minor model adjustments

We have updated our estimates following Thursday’s announcement confirming that the verdict from June – ordering Kluge Advokatfirma and others to pay NOK112.9m plus default interest to NONG’s subsidiary SpareBank 1 Finans Nord-Norge – was now final and would be recognised in the 2021 results. Hence, we have added the total amount of ~NOK163m to Q4e income, raising the unadjusted Q4e ROE to 18.4% (also includes a ~NOK150m non-recurring benefit from the HELG transaction). While the split has yet to be determined, we have included NOK120m in loan loss reversals and NOK43m in NII in our estimates. That said, we have not changed our 2022–2023e EPS. We do not consider these changes to be material, and we have not changed our BUY recommendation. We reiterate our NOK113 target price.
