The bank's profit increased by 12% from DKK 338 million to DKK 380 million in
2011. 
The result is equivalent to a return on equity of 17%, which is considered
highly satisfactory in light of the present economic situation in society.

Management Report



Changes in management

Bent Naur has decided to retire at the end of April 2012 on the occasion of his
sixty-fifth birthday. Bent Naur has been CEO of the bank since 1987. 

The board of directors has appointed John Bull Fisker as the new CEO as of 1
May 2012. John Bull Fisker is 47 years old and has been an employee of the bank
since 1995. John Bull Fisker has been a member of the board of management since
1999. 

Joern Nielsen has been appointed assistant manager of the bank as of 1 March
2012. Joern Nielsen is 39 years old and has been an employee of the bank since
1993. Joern Nielsen was appointed credit controller in 1998 and credit manager
in 2009. 



Core income

Net interest income was DKK 607 million in 2011, an increase of 4% compared to
last year.  An upward trend was seen during the year in the net interest
income, which derives from the increasing deposit figures and a increasing
interest margin. Like the rest of the financial sector, the bank increased the
interest margin in 2011. The very low interest level is pulling in the opposite
direction as it results in a lower return on the bank's portfolio of securities
and cash resources.

Fees, commissions and foreign exchange earnings amounted to net DKK 152 million
in 2011 against net DKK 167 million in 2010, a fall of 9%. The year was
characterised by low trading and conversion activity within securities trading
and asset management, and the larger volumes therefore did not result in a
corresponding increase in income. The activity on the housing market was also
low, with fewer transactions and conversions. 

The total core income was 1% higher in 2011, with an increase from DKK 758
million in 2010 to DKK 767 million in 2011. 



Costs and depreciations

Total costs including depreciations on tangible assets amounted to DKK 248
million in 2011, 4% higher than last year. 

The rate of costs was computed at 32.4%, still the lowest in the country. A low
rate of costs is especially important in periods of difficult economic
conditions as the bank's results are thus very robust, which is also reflected
in the computation of the bank's individual solvency requirement. 



Write-downs on loans

Write-downs on loans showed a fall of 7% to net DKK 129 million in 2011 against
DKK 138 million last year. The write-downs are equivalent to 0.9% of the total
average of loans, write-downs, guarantees and provisions. The bank's customers
appear to be coping better with the weak economic conditions than the average
in Denmark. The present level of write-downs is considered satisfactory. 

The bank's total account for write-downs and provisions amounted to DKK 650
million at the end of the year, equivalent to 4.5% of total loans and
guarantees. Actual write-downs on loans (including interest on the account for
write-downs) continue to be low at a mere DKK 43 million, such that the account
for write-downs and provisions increased by net DKK 85 million during the year. 

The portfolio of loans with zeroed interest amounts to DKK 61 million,
equivalent to 0.43% of the bank's total loans and guarantees at the end of the
year. This is at the same level as last year. 

Given the low growth in the Danish economy also in 2011, which is expected to
continue in 2012, the bank is satisfied with the conservative credit policy on
the basis of which the bank has always operated. As a natural part of the
economic cycle, the bank's losses are expected to remain at a relatively high
level in 2012, but with a continued slightly downward trend relative to the
previous three years. It is also still the bank's judgment that the credit
policy, the diversified loans portfolio and the bank's location in Central and
West Jutland will have a positive effect on the bank compared to the general
level of losses in the banking sector as a whole.

Core earnings were DKK 390 million against last year's DKK 380 million, an
increase of 3%. Income in 2011 proved to be so stable that the expectations for
core earnings were adjusted upward to the DKK 350-400 million range in October
2011, and the final result is at the top of this range. 



Result for the portfolio

The result for the portfolio for 2011 was positive by DKK 1.5 million,
including funding costs for the portfolio. 

The bank's holding of shares etc. at the end of the year amounted to DKK 249
million, DKK 12 million of which was in listed shares etc. while DKK 237
million was in sector shares etc. The bond portfolio amounted to DKK 2,756
million, and the great majority of the portfolio consists of AAA-rated Danish
mortgage credit bonds and bonds guaranteed by the Danish government, or
short-term bank bonds. 

The total interest rate risk, computed as the impact on the result of a one
percentage point change in the interest level, was 0.7% of the bank's Tier 1
capital after deduction at the end of the year. 

The bank's total market risk within exposure to interest rate risk, exposure in
listed shares etc. and foreign exchange exposure remains at a low level. The
bank's risk of losses calculated on the basis of a value-at-risk model
(computed with a 10-day horizon and 99% probability) was as follows in 2011: 

                       Risk in DKK million  Risk relative to equity
                                               end of year in %    
Highest risk of loss:                 21.1           0.85%         
Lowest risk of loss:                   1.7           0.07%         
Average risk of loss:                  8.4           0.34%         

The bank's policy remains to keep the market risk at a low level.



Result after tax

The result after tax was DKK 286 million for the year against DKK 257 million
last year. 
The result after tax is equivalent to a return on equity of 13% after payment
of dividend. 



Balance sheet

The bank's balance sheet total at the end of the year stood at DKK 17,549
million against last year's DKK 18,247 million. Deposits increased by 9% from
DKK 11,662 million to DKK 12,755 million. The bank's loans decreased by 3% to
DKK 12,747 million. The underlying growth in new customers from the branch
network and within the niches Private Banking and wind turbine financing
remains good. However, the changed consumption pattern with a higher savings
ratio and the general trend that many customers are deleveraging are generally
resulting in greater repayments on the bank's existing loans portfolio than
previously, and the entire growth in 2011 was therefore used to neutralise
these repayments. 

The bank's portfolio of guarantees at the end of the year was DKK 1,052 million
against DKK 1,049 million in 2010. 



Liquidity

The bank's liquidity is good, and since the banks loans and deposits are at the
same level, we made early repayments in the second half-year of 2011 of
long-term loans to the equivalent of DKK 1,063 million to optimise the bank's
liquidity. The excess solvency compared to the statutory requirements was 141%.
The bank's short-term funding with term to maturity of less than 12 months
amounts to only DKK 390 million, balanced by DKK 4.1 billion in short-term
money market placing, primarily in Danish banks and liquid securities.The bank
is thus not dependent on the short-term money market. 

The bank's loans portfolio is more than fully financed by deposits and the
bank's equity. In addition, part of the German loans portfolio for wind
turbines was refinanced back-to-back with KFW Bankengruppe, and the DKK 808
million in question can thus be disregarded in terms of liquidity. The bank
requires no financing for the coming year to meet the minimum requirement that
it must always be able to manage for up to 12 months without access to the
financial markets. 



The deposit guarantee scheme

Ringkjoebing Landbobank has a liability to the mandatory deposit guarantee
scheme in Denmark for rescuing Danish banks. The bank's share of these losses
is 0.6%. Amagerbanken, Fjordbank Mors and Max Bank went bankrupt in 2011, and
based on the latest available dividend rates, this cost the bank DKK 11.2
million. 



Dividend and share buy-back programme

The bank's board of directors will recommend to the general meeting that
dividend of DKK 13 per share, equivalent to DKK 66 million, be paid for the
2011 financial year. Dividend of DKK 12 was paid in 2010. In addition, 100,000
shares at a value of DKK 61 million were bought up during 2011, and a
recommendation will be made to the general meeting to cancel these shares to
reduce the number of shares in the bank from 5,040,000 to 4,940,000. 

A proposal will also be made that a new buy-back programme be established for
2012 under which up to 100,000 shares can be bought up for the purpose of
cancelling them at a future general meeting. At the current price this
authorisation will reduce equity by DKK 64 million. 



Capital

The bank's equity at the beginning of 2011 was DKK 2,312 million, to which must
be added the profit for the period, and from which must be deducted dividend
paid and the value of the bought-back own shares, after which the equity at the
end of the year was DKK 2,483 million, an increase of 7%. 

The bank's capital adequacy ratio (Tier 2) was computed at 21.4% at the end of
2011. The core capital ratio (Tier 1) was computed at 19.8%.

The individual solvency requirement for Ringkjoebing Landbobank is calculated at
7,0% because of the bank's robust business model, and the ratio was thus
reported at 8%. 



Encouraging increase in customer numbers

The bank implemented several outreach initiatives towards new customers just
under two years ago. The basis was the fact that the bank has both the
liquidity and the capital to support growth, that we felt comfortable about the
bank's credit facilities, and that our cost structure is suitable for the
future. The biggest challenge in times of low growth in society is thus
creating growth in the bank's top line. 

The bank's outreach initiatives will be intensified in 2012, among other things
by investing in spreading the bank's Private Banking platform even further. 

A highly positive increase in customers is currently being seen in the branch
network and within the Private Banking segment, with transfer of deposits,
pension and securities customers. The growth in lending has been swallowed up
by repayments on the loans portfolio. In the bank's judgment, we are, however,
currently enhancing the foundation for future earnings. 



Accounting policies and key figures

The accounting policies applied are unchanged relative to the audited annual
report presented for 2010. 



Expectations for earnings in 2012

The bank's core earnings for 2011 were DKK 390 million, which is at the top of
the upwardly adjusted DKK 350-400 million range. 

Ringkjoebing Landbobank has a market share of about 50% in that part of western
Jutland in which its old branches are located. The bank also has
well-established branches in Herning, Holstebro and Viborg which are still
operating positively. The bank's plan is to retain and develop this section of
the customer portfolio with good and competitive products, focusing on employee
skills and advising customers of the options in a changeable financial world.
Additional customers are expected to be gained in 2012 for the bank's branches
in central and western Jutland as a result of the long-term recruitment
initiatives and the consolidation in the sector. 

The activities in the bank's Distance Customer department and niche concepts,
including the branch in Holte, are together also expected to continue to
develop positively in the forthcoming year despite large repayments on the
loans portfolio. The focus will be on servicing of the bank's current customers
and further developing of the portfolio within wind turbine financing, medical
practitioners and affluent customers. 

The expectations for the core earnings for 2012 are in the DKK 300-400 million
range. To this must be added the result of the bank's trading portfolio and
possible expenses for the deposit guarantee scheme.
