Michael Rasmussen, Group Chief Executive, comments on the Annual Report 2024:

• For the fourth consecutive year, Nykredit delivers its best full-year performance to date. This is naturally highly satisfactory. Our robust financial results demonstrate that Nykredit is stronger than ever. Thanks to our mutual ownership and attractive value propositions, we continue to welcome new customers. As a result, we recorded business growth and expanded our market position across our core business in 2024.
  
• We want to be the customer-owned alternative to the largest listed banks. This is why we have made an offer to acquire Spar Nord Bank in 2025. We expect to close the acquisition in H1/2025 subject to approval by the authorities.

• In early 2025, we decided to raise the KundeKroner discount to 0.25% from 0.20%, making it even clearer what it means to be a customer of a customer-owned Nykredit Group. This implies that it will once again be cheaper for more than 900,000 homeowners to have a Totalkredit loan. With KundeKroner discounts, Totalkredit is able to offer the lowest prices on home loans in the market in most scenarios. Moreover, Totalkredit homeowners are guaranteed KundeKroner discounts up to and including 2028. We will do our utmost to continue investing in Totalkredit and our other important partnerships, so that we stand as strong as possible when it comes to our customers and the competition in the financial market.
  
  
• We are guiding for a profit after tax for 2025 of DKK 9.00-9.75 billion and do not expect to reach the same level as in 2024. This is primarily due to the prospect of falling interest rates, which will lower the return on Nykredit's equity. At the same time, a generally tense geopolitical landscape creates uncertainty about the economic development and the potential impact on Nykredit's operating conditions. Our profit guidance for 2025 does not include earnings impacts of the acquisition of Spar Nord Bank. We will therefore update our full-year profit guidance when the acquisition is completed.
