Financial comments General In 1997, the Lundbeck Groups financial income and expenses were affected by the instability prevailing in the markets during certain periods of the year as a result of the growing turbulence in connection with the introduction of the euro. Against this background, H. Lundbeck A/S chose to reduce the interest-rate risk on its bond portfolio at the beginning of the second quarter of 1997. This investment strategy was adopted until late in the year when the bond portfolio was converted into longer-term securities, mainly mortgage credit bonds. As regards the loan portfolio, the Group maintained its short-term borrowing. This had a favourable effect throughout 1997 because the short-term interest rate remained stable at a low level. In the foreign currency field, realised foreign currency inflows were hedged on a continuous basis. In 1997 Lundbecks exchange rate index rose by 2.8%, reflecting an improvement in the competitive situation compared with 1996. The Lundbeck Group is preparing for the euro and is working on strengthening its cash management because these areas have a significant effect on the Group and offer potential for improving the Groups financial situation in the long term. Cash and the bond portfolio In 1997, total liquid funds including securities, rose to DKK 800 million. The total liquidity at 31 December 1997 consisted of DKK 280 million placed in the money market and operating capital of DKK 154 million in the Group. To this can be added the market value of the Groups bond portfolio, which at yearend 1997 amounted to DKK 366 million. Due to the growing instability in the field of interest rates at the beginning of the year and uncertainty in connection with the introduction of the euro, the portfolio was converted into shorter-term securities at the beginning of the second quarter of 1997. The bond portfolio was thus adapted to the Groups loan portfolio, reflecting a more conservative investment strategy, which was also brought about by the approaching crisis in the Far East. In the last few months of the year, the portfolio was converted into a larger share of longer-term mortgage credit bonds, which resulted in a positive result for the year as a whole. Bond portfolio at market value at 31 December 1997 The amount placed in Danish bonds was on average DKK 493 million, producing a total return of 3.0% including capital gains. In addition, an average amount of DKK 40 million was placed in the money market, earning interest at a rate of 3.6%. The modified interest rate risk expressed in terms of the BPV (Basis Point Value) indicates the expected price change on an interest rate increase of 1 percentage point. At year-end 1997, the BPV was 4.1, corresponding to a fall of 1.9 compared with the beginning of the year. The interest rate sensitivity of the portfolio can be illustrated thus: an increase in interest rates of 1 percentage point would lead to a reduction in the value of the portfolio of the order of DKK 15 million. In future, the bond portfolio will be compared with a benchmarking portfolio. The effect of this in the daily portfolio management is that the risk profile of the portfolio will be more stable than with the existing management. At the same time, it becomes possible to measure the performance of the companys portfolio management against the benchmark fixed. Loan portfolio In 1997, the major part of the Groups loan portfolio was based on a short-term CIBORbased (Copenhagen-Inter-Bank-Offered-Rate) loan, with a favourable effect throughout the year because the short-term interest rate was relatively low and stable. The Groups total financing cost remained at a level of about 4%.
