Announcement no. 26/2019
Guidance update for the 2019 result
BankNordik raises its net profit guidance for the year of 2019 from previously guided DKK 150–200m to DKK 170–210 (9M 2019: 158m). The upwards revision is related to higher fee and insurance income as well as continuous reversal of impairment charges.
This guidance is generally subject to uncertainty and will, amongst other things, depend on economic conditions, loan impairments and market value adjustment.
The figures presented below are preliminary. The final figures will be published in the Interim Report for Q3 2019 on 29 October 2019, which includes further financial details.
