CEO Comment

The global economy is being impacted by war, inflation, the pandemic, and climate change. Projected growth is being downgraded and we are facing tougher economic times. The quarter was marked by high and rising inflation and the response by central banks to tackle this. In our home markets there is widespread concern among people and firms regarding how the economy will affect them. In this turbulent time Swedbank stands strong. We support our customers and our business is stable.

The capital markets have been characterised this year by uncertainty and rising interest rates. All indications are, however, that we are now in a period where interest rates are at a historically more normal level. Swedbank's business model, our balance sheet and our work to create a favourable funding mix have positively affected net interest income, at the same time that our margins on mortgage loans have declined and we have raised the interest rate on our customers' savings accounts.

The result for the third quarter is strong with a profit of SEK 5.7bn. Net interest income was positively affected by rising interest rates and higher lending growth. Net commission income increased slightly with higher card income and stable asset management despite the continued market turbulence.

Expenses rose somewhat. In addition to a weaker krona, the high inflation is also having an impact, especially in the Baltic countries. In spite of this, we are continuing to invest as planned. We therefore expect full-year expenses, excluding foreign exchange effects, to be around 1 per cent higher than the cost cap of SEK 20.5bn, and the additional SEK 500m for investigations, that we set nearly two years ago.

During the quarter, we also wrote down software and goodwill in our Norwegian operations. Credit impairments increased mainly due to revised growth forecasts, but credit quality was good. The return on equity rose to 13.9 per cent.

It is by being profitable that we contribute to an economically sound and sustainable society. Profitability enables us to support customers, provide a return for shareholders, create opportunities to develop the bank, and contribute to financial sustainability. A sustainable bank is a profitable bank. I look forward on 6 December to presenting our plan to reach a return on equity of 15 per cent.

All four of our home markets have a stable foundation with strong public finances. The economic situation poses many challenges, but there is also a need to transition where the bank supports customers. Credit quality is good thanks to our thorough and conservative lending process. Our liquidity position remains strong, and we have a significant buffer of over 4.2 percentage points above the Swedish FSA's capital requirement.

The mortgage business continues to grow even though activity and prices in Sweden were down in the quarter. The housing market also slowed in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, but prices remained stable due to the need

for modern housing. Swedbank remains the leader in mortgage lending in all four of our home markets. The Swedish mortgage business has been stable throughout the business cycle, and in the last 40 years related credit impairments have amounted to SEK 1.7bn in total.

The corporate business continued to develop despite current market conditions. Our ability to support clients with credit and connect them with the right capital market investors has been a big plus. In the Baltic countries there is clearly a need for liquidity to manage higher expenses. At the same time, we are advising firms that see opportunities in areas such as renewable energy, which is becoming increasingly important. In Sweden the construction industry slowed down and small to medium-sized electricity-intensive firms are struggling but managing the situation. Our exposure to the real estate sector aligns with the bank's strategy and risk appetite. We are secure in our lending thanks to a long-term focus on a sound and sustainable business model with stable cash flows and strong collateral.

In advisory services we support private customers also by showing them how to save on a monthly basis when inflation is high. Savings advice is now easily available digitally as a complement to calling the customer centre or visiting a branch.

Swedbank Robur continued to garner attention for its sustainability work and ranked number one in Sweden and the Nordic region in the Morningstar Sustainability Rating. We are also the first Nordic bank to expand our sustainable funding framework to include social categories, so we can more clearly finance additional projects with concrete societal benefits.

Fraud remains a societal problem that targets bank customers. In recent years, security has become much tighter. The collaboration between police, other government authorities and banks was further expanded in the quarter through improved information sharing to limit fraud. Similar initiatives to fight money laundering have also had an impact this year.

Threats in our region have risen significantly. Swedbank continues to invest in security and maintains a high level of preparedness. Customers and society as a whole place high demands on Swedbank. Trust in Swedbank rose in Sweden, and while we still have room for improvement, we are nearing the rest of the industry. And it is gratifying that Swedbank was again named the most loved brand in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

Our customers' future is our focus.

Economy and market

After a positive start to the quarter, sentiment and the global economic outlook quickly turned negative. The war in Ukraine, the European energy crisis and lockdowns in China, coupled with imbalances since the pandemic, contributed to this. High inflation and rising interest rates are eroding consumer purchasing power, at the same time that many firms are being squeezed by substantially higher costs. Our home markets are wellpositioned, however, with solid public finances and stronger than expected growth in the first half of 2022.

Inflation has exceeded expectations and several influential central banks have raised their policy rates more – and more quickly – than expected. In September, the Swedish Riksbank raised its policy rate by 1 percentage point, while the ECB and the Federal Reserve raised their respective policy rates by 0.75 percentage points and signalled that more large rate hikes are coming in the near future. Given this and a growing concern about the impact of the energy crisis, market interest rates continued to quickly rise and stock markets fell. All in all, leading stock exchanges were down 2-5 per cent in the quarter. The U.S. dollar strengthened against both the euro and the krona, while the krona weakened slightly against the euro.

High household consumption and continued corporate investment helped to support the Swedish economy in the first half of 2022. The labour market improved in the third quarter with higher employment, lower unemployment and more new job openings than in 2021. Economic sentiment slumped, however, and consumer confidence fell sharply. Real consumer purchasing power decreased as well. Card data from Swedbank Pay indicate that while real household consumption fell in the quarter, spending on services held up fairly well.

Since peaking in February, house prices in Sweden have fallen by 9 per cent on a seasonally adjusted basis, and even more in large metropolitan areas. Quickly rising interest rates and high inflation are making homebuyers cautious, and property sales have therefore dropped significantly. These factors suggest continued price pressure despite a housing shortage and slowdown in new construction.

As was the case in Sweden, growth in the Baltic countries was unexpectedly strong in the first half of 2022, but economic activity slowed in the third quarter. Inflation has accelerated to over 20 per cent in the Baltic countries. Real wages are falling and consumers are losing purchasing power, which means that Baltic households will also cut back on their spending. Corporate profits are being hurt by high energy prices, and some firms are also being impacted by lower exports to Russia. The Baltic economies are strong, however, and have significantly reduced their dependence on the Russian economy and energy in recent years.

Group development

Result third quarter 2022 compared with second quarter 2022

Swedbank's profit increased to SEK 5 741m (4 710) due to higher income, partly offset by higher credit impairments and impairments of intangible assets. Foreign exchange effects positively affected profit before impairment, the Swedish bank tax and resolution fund fees by approximately SEK 23m.

The return on equity was 13.9 per cent (12.0) and the cost/income ratio was 0.38 (0.45).

Income increased to SEK 14 030m (11 612). The biggest gains were in net interest income and net gains and losses on financial items. Foreign exchange effects positively affected income by approximately SEK 53m.

Net interest income increased by 18 per cent to SEK 8 360m (7 113). Underlying net interest income was positively affected primarily by higher deposit margins resulting from rising market interest rates, but were partly offset by lower lending margins. Higher lending volumes also contributed positively together with an additional day in the quarter and positive foreign exchange effects. The final compensation from the European Central Bank's liquidity loans of SEK 37m was recognised in the second quarter.

Net commission income increased by 3 per cent to SEK 3 643m (3 551). Seasonally higher income from card operations and payments contributed positively. Income from asset management was unchanged as the downturn in the capital markets was offset by net inflows and an additional day in the quarter. Income from corporate finance decreased due to lower activity in the summer months.

Net gains and losses on financial items increased substantially from a low level to SEK 945m (57). Group Treasury's net gains and losses on financial items increased mainly due to the reversal of valuation changes in derivatives. The previous quarter was negatively affected by changes in the market valuation of the trading portfolio of bonds within Large Corporates & Institutions, and negatively by SEK 54m by the divestment of the Danish mortgage portfolio within Swedish Banking.

Other income increased by 21 per cent to SEK 1 082m (891) mainly due to improved profits reported by associated companies. Entercard's profit increased by SEK 72m.

Expenses increased by 2 per cent to SEK 5 329m (5 248) mainly due to higher IT expenses and AMLrelated investigation expenses. The investigation expenses amounted to SEK 152m (92). Foreign exchange effects increased expenses by approximately SEK 30m.

Impairments of intangible assets amounted to SEK 443m (0) and are attributable to impairment of proprietary software of SEK 263m and impairment of goodwill in Swedbank's Norwegian operations of

SEK 181m. The goodwill impairment was recognised in conjunction with the establishment of a strategic partnership with SpareBank 1 Markets.

Credit impairments amounted to SEK 602m (40). For individually assessed loans credit impairment provisions were reversed, which together with write-offs resulted in a net reversal of SEK 20m. Weaker macroeconomic scenarios increased credit impairment provisions by SEK 333m. A new default definition caused a one-time effect of SEK 207m. Other ratings and stage changes also contributed to increased credit impairment provisions. They were also affected by updated macroeconomic scenarios.

The tax expense amounted to SEK 1 439m (1 144), corresponding to an effective tax rate of 20.0 per cent (19.5). The higher effective tax rate in the quarter is largely due to the non-deductible impairment of goodwill in Swedbank's Norwegian operations.

Result January – September 2022 compared with January – September 2021

Swedbank's profit decreased to SEK 15 068m (16 038) due to the introduction of the bank tax, higher expenses and higher credit impairments. Impairment of intangible assets also impacted negatively, while higher income had an offsetting effect. Foreign exchange effects positively affected profit before impairment, the Swedish bank tax and resolution fees by approximately SEK 184m.

The return on equity was 12.4 per cent (13.5) and the cost/income ratio was 0.42 (0.42).

Income increased to SEK 37 097m (35 740) and was mainly affected positively by net interest income. Net gains and losses on financial items had a negative effect, while net commission income was stable. Foreign exchange effects raised income by approximately SEK 396m.

Net interest income increased by 10 per cent to SEK 22 236m (20 302). Underlying net interest income was bolstered mainly by higher deposit margins, and higher lending volumes also contributed. Lower lending margins during the year and an adjustment to the deposit guarantee in 2021 had the opposite effect.

Net commission income decreased by 1 per cent to SEK 10 775m (10 833). Income from asset management decreased due to the downturn in the capital markets, while income from cards increased as pandemic restrictions were lifted this year.

Net gains and losses on financial items decreased to SEK 1 124m (1 783). Negative effects from revaluations of the trading portfolio within Large Corporates & Institutions and valuation changes in derivatives and in the liquidity portfolio within Group Treasury were contributing factors. A positive valuation effect in 2021 in connection with Hemnet's IPO also contributed to the decrease.

Other income increased by 5 per cent to SEK 2 963m (2 822) due to higher compensation from savings banks and reversals of insurance provisions in the first quarter. This was partly offset by a lower result from Entercard.

Expenses increased to SEK 15 665m (15 005) mainly as a result of higher staff costs and IT expenses. AMLrelated investigation expenses increased slightly to SEK 299m. Foreign exchange effects increased expenses by approximately SEK 212m.

Credit impairments amounted to SEK 800m (237) and are mainly explained by weaker macroeconomic scenarios, negative ratings and stage changes, and the new default definition. This was offset by decreased credit impairment provisions for individually assessed counterparties in the oil and offshore sector.

The bank tax came into force on 1 January 2022 and is estimated at just under SEK 1bn for the full year.

The tax expense amounted to SEK 3 719m (3 806), corresponding to an effective tax rate of 19.8 per cent (19,2). The higher effective tax rate this year is largely due to a lower share of income from associated companies and joint ventures as well as non-deductible goodwill impairment in Swedbank's Norwegian operations. The Group's effective tax rate is still estimated at 19-21 per cent in the medium term.

Fund savings and life insurance

Assets under management by Swedbank Robur rose by 1 per cent in the quarter to SEK 1 264bn (1 248), of which SEK 1 192bn (1 178) related to Sweden, SEK 70bn (68) to the Baltic countries and SEK 2bn (2) to other markets. Assets under management increased because the net inflow has been higher than the negative effect from the market.

The net inflow in the Swedish fund market amounted to SEK 4bn (-4). The largest inflow was to index funds at SEK 12bn, followed by fixed income funds with inflows of SEK 9bn. Active equity funds and hedge funds had outflows of SEK -14bn and SEK -3bn respectively. Mixed funds were unchanged.

During the quarter, Swedbank Robur had a net inflow of SEK 22bn (0) in Sweden. The increase is mainly due to inflows from institutional clients within Large Corporates & Institutions. Swedish Banking and the savings banks also contributed positive net flows.

The net inflow in the Baltic countries was unchanged at SEK 1bn (1).

By assets under management, Swedbank Robur is the leader in the Swedish and Baltic fund markets. As of 30 September, the market share in Sweden was 21 per cent and in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania was 37, 41 and 38 per cent respectively.

In Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania Swedbank is the largest life insurance company. The market shares for premium payments in the first eight months of 2022 were 49 per cent in Estonia, 24 per cent in Latvia and 24 per cent in Lithuania.

Payments

The total number of Swedbank cards in issue at the end of the quarter was 8.3 million, in line with the end of the

previous quarter. In Sweden 4.5 million cards were in issue and in the Baltic countries 3.8 million. Compared with the same quarter in 2021 corporate card issuance in Sweden grew by 4 per cent and private card issuance by 1 per cent. Compared with the same quarter in 2021 corporate card issuance in the Baltic countries grew by 3 per cent and private card issuance by 2 per cent.

The number of purchases in Sweden with Swedbank cards increased by 6 per cent compared with the same quarter in 2021. A total of 382 million card purchases were made, positively affected by the lifting of pandemic-related restrictions. In the Baltic countries the number of card purchases grew by 14 per cent in the same period to 228 million in the quarter, also due to the easing of restrictions.

The total number of card transactions acquired by Swedbank increased by 2 per cent to 925 million compared with the same quarter in 2021. The number of transactions acquired in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark was unchanged, while the number of transactions In the Baltic countries increased by 15 per cent.

Acquired transaction volumes in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark increased by 4 per cent to SEK 221bn and the corresponding volume in the Baltic countries increased by 25 per cent to SEK 31bn compared with the same quarter in 2021.

The main reason why acquired transaction volumes increased more than acquired card transactions was the high inflation rate. Higher prices of non-durable goods and petrol raised transaction volumes in these sectors by 8 per cent and 20 per cent respectively. Other sectors that also contributed to higher transaction volumes mainly include restaurants, hotels, travel and transport.

In Sweden there were 207 million domestic payments in the third quarter, an increase of 2 per cent compared with the same period in 2021. In the Baltic countries 106 million domestic payments were processed, up 12 per cent compared with the same period in 2021. Swedbank's market share of payments through the Bankgiro system was 35 per cent. The number of international payments in Sweden increased by 10 per cent compared with the same quarter in 2021 to 1.7 million. In the Baltic countries international payments increased by 32 per cent to 6 million.

Credit and asset quality

Swedbank's credit quality is good despite the macroeconomic situation with indicators such as late payments at largely unchanged levels. High inflation, rising interest rates and a weakening economy are creating challenges for both consumers and firms, however.

Due to the weaker macroeconomic conditions, the provisions for potential future declines in credit quality in the form of expert credit adjustments remain in place. Revaluations were made in various sectors, however, with decreases in shipping and offshore and increases

mainly in real estate, manufacturing, retail and wholesale. Credit impairment provisions in the form of post-model expert credit adjustments amounted to SEK 1 700m (1 671) as of 30 September.

The quality of Swedbank's mortgage portfolio, which accounts for just over half of total lending, is good and historical credit impairments have been very low. Development during the quarter was stable with few customers with late payments. Customers' long-term repayment capacity is a critical lending factor, leading to low risks for both the customer and the bank. The average loan-to-value ratios in the mortgage portfolio were 52 per cent in Sweden, 41 per cent in Estonia, 70 per cent in Latvia and 50 per cent in Lithuania.

Swedbank's lending to the property management sector amounted to SEK 289bn and accounts for 16 per cent of the total loan portfolio. Of this, 44 per cent relates mainly to offices, 30 per cent to residential properties and the rest to manufacturing facilities, warehouses and other property management. Swedbank attaches great importance in its lending to stable cash flows and longterm repayment capacity. The average loan-to-value ratio for lending to the property management sector was 53 per cent, 55 per cent for residential properties and 52 per cent for other properties.

The total share of loans in stage 2, gross, increased to 6.7 per cent (5.1 as of 30 June), of which 5.1 per cent (3.7) was for personal loans and 10.2 per cent (8.0) for corporate loans. The increase in personal loans was due to the weaker macroeconomic outlook and ratings changes, while the increase in corporate loans was due to lower ratings for a few large customers in property management as well as the generally weaker macroeconomic outlook and ratings changes.

The share of loans in stage 3, gross, increased somewhat to 0.34 per cent (0.32). The provision ratio for loans in stage 3 was 33 per cent (35).

For more information on credit exposures, provisions and credit quality, see notes 9 and 11-13 as well as pages 37-49 of the Fact book.

Funding and liquidity

In the third quarter, the market continued to be affected by geopolitical concerns and a greater focus on rising inflation. Inflation led to large rate hikes by many central banks. Despite the turbulence, the short-term funding market has worked well with good liquidity for Swedbank. The short-term USD funding market largely switched to transactions based on daily variable rates, which helped to maintain liquidity. The bond market was more impacted by the market volatility, and opportunities to issue bonds with longer maturities have therefore been limited during certain periods.

Swedbank's very strong liquidity position enables it to choose opportunities to issue bonds when the market is favourable. In the quarter, long-term debt issuance amounted to SEK 22bn.

As of 30 September, Swedbank's short-term funding (commercial paper) in issue amounted to SEK 353bn (303). Available cash and balances with central banks and reserves with the Swedish National Debt Office amounted to SEK 449bn (437) and the liquidity reserve amounted to SEK 631bn (619). The Group's liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) was 154 per cent (143) and for

USD, EUR and SEK was 120, 302 and 99 per cent respectively. The net stable funding ratio (NSFR) was 117 per cent (119).

The total issuance need for the full-year 2022 is expected to be in line with issuance volumes in 2021, with a continued focus on senior unsecured and senior non-preferred bonds to meet the MREL requirements. Demand for the bank's financing is affected by the current liquidity situation, future maturities, and changes in deposit and lending volumes, and is therefore adjusted over the course of the year. Maturities in 2022 amount to SEK 173bn calculated from the beginning of the year, of which SEK 24bn matures in the fourth quarter.

For more information on funding and liquidity, see notes 15-17 and pages 54–65 of the Fact book.

Ratings

On 1 July, Fitch upgraded Swedbank's Long-Term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) to AA- from A+ with a stable outlook. Fitch pointed out that Swedbank had addressed the historical shortcomings identified at its Estonian subsidiary and largely concluded a broad transformation of its corporate culture, compliance, organisational structure, and risk oversight. On 15 July, S&P upgraded Swedbank's ESG rating from 75 to 76. For more information on Swedbank's ratings, see page 66 of the Fact book.

Operational risks

The bank continued to prioritise IT and information security due to elevated threats against the financial sector in the third quarter, in no small part against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine. Swedbank's ability to manage these risks is good despite the number of IT attacks against the sector having increased.

Capital and capital adequacy

Capital ratio and capital requirement

The Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio was 18.5 (18.3). at the end of the quarter. The total Common Equity Tier 1 capital requirement, including Pillar 2 guidance, was 14.3 per cent (13.7) of the Risk Exposure Amount (REA), which resulted in a Common Equity Tier 1 capital buffer of 4.2 per cent (4.6). Common Equity Tier 1 capital increased to SEK 139.6bn (135.9) and was mainly affected by the quarterly profit and anticipated dividend.

Risk Exposure Amount (REA)

Total REA increased to SEK 753.1bn (743.8) in the quarter.

REA for credit risk increased due to higher lending and FX effects. The increase was offset mainly by lower loss given default, higher ratings and shorter maturities on corporate exposures.

REA for market risk increased due to higher REA for internal models, and was offset by lower REA for credit value adjustments due to lower exposures.

Other REA changes increased mainly due to higher risk weights in the capital requirement calculation for certain exposures in the Baltic countries in connection with the implementation of the new default definition.

Change in REA1

1Refers to Swedbank consolidated situation

The leverage ratio was 5.3 per cent (5.2) and exceeded the leverage ratio requirement including Pillar 2 guidance of 3.45 per cent, which is due to higher Tier 1 capital, but was offset by higher total assets.

Capital and resolution regulations

The countercyclical buffer was raised to 1 per cent in the quarter and, according to an earlier decision by the Swedish FSA, will be raised to 2 per cent as of the second quarter 2023. The impact on Swedbank's capital requirement is slightly lower since the requirement only relates to the Swedish operations. In connection with the pandemic, the countercyclical buffer was reduced from 2.5 per cent to 0 per cent. The Swedish FSA assesses the buffer rate's neutral level at 2 per cent.

The Swedish FSA has decided on new Pillar 2 requirements and Pillar 2 guidance after the annual Supervisory review and evaluation process. For Swedbank the risk-based Pillar 2 requirement is 2.3 per cent and the Pillar 2 guidance is 1.0 per cent of REA. The Pillar 2 guidance for the leverage ratio is 0.45 per cent of the leverage exposure amount. Swedbank has satisfactory buffers relative to the new requirements. Compared with last year's SREP, the risk-based Pillar 2 requirement increased from 1.7 per cent and the Pillar 2 guidance decreased from 1.5 per cent. The leverage ratio guidance is unchanged.

Due to new guidelines from the European Banking Authority (EBA), Swedbank previously applied to use new internal models for risk classification, and the assessment process for the models is underway.

Swedbank estimates that the risk-weighted assets will increase in 2023 due to the new models.

The new Resolution Act, which entered into force in 2021, gradually phases in the minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) by 1 January 2024. The new law is based on the EU's Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD II).

As proposed, the EU Commission's proposal to finalise Basel III, also called Basel IV, would be introduced in stages in 2025–2030. The actions include revisions of the standardised approaches and internal models used to calculate the capital requirements for credit and market risk as well as operational risk. A capital requirement floor was introduced for internal models where the risk-weighted assets may not fall below 72.5 per cent of the amount calculated using the standardised approach. Temporary exemptions would apply through 2032. In the next stage, the proposal will be negotiated by the European Council and the EU Parliament. The ultimate impact on Swedbank's capital situation is currently difficult to assess.

Investigations

U.S. authorities continue to investigate Swedbank's historical anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing work and historical information disclosures. The investigations, which are being conducted by the Department of Justice (DoJ), Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and Department of Financial Services in New York (DFS), are continuing and the bank is holding

individual discussions with the authorities through its U.S. legal advisors. The investigations are at different stages and the bank cannot at this time determine any financial consequences or when the investigations will be completed.

In the first quarter, Swedbank AS was informed by the Estonian Prosecutor's Office of suspected money laundering in 2014–2016. The criminal investigation originates from the Estonian FSA's previous investigation of Swedbank AS in 2019. The maximum fine for the suspected crime is EUR 16m.

Other events

On 1 July, Swedbank received a claim of SEK 4bn from the Swedish Pensions Agency related to Swedbank's historical role as custodian bank for the fund Optimus High Yield in 2012-2015. The claim was not preceded by any correspondence or information to the bank from the Swedish Pensions Agency. Swedbank has not made any provisions related to the claim. During the quarter there has been correspondence between the Swedish Pensions Agency and the bank.

On 1 August, Britta Hjorth-Larsen took up her duties as Chief Compliance Officer and joined Swedbank's Group Executive Committee.

Result

Third quarter 2022 compared with second quarter 2022

Profit increased by 40 per cent to SEK 4 105m (2 923). Increased income and stable expenses were slightly offset by increased credit impairments.

Net interest income increased by 31 per cent to SEK 5 525m (4 224). Higher deposit margins due to higher market interest rates had a positive effect but were offset by lower lending margins.

Household mortgage volumes increased by SEK 6bn to SEK 917bn (911). Lending to tenant-owner associations rose by SEK 1bn to SEK 93bn (92). Corporate lending was unchanged at SEK 239bn (239).

Deposit volumes decreased by SEK 6bn to SEK 734bn (740) with corporate deposits decreasing by SEK 6bn while household deposits were unchanged.

Net commission income increased by 2 per cent to SEK 2 213m (2 163) mainly due to higher card income.

Net gains and losses on financial items increased to SEK 109m (46) after the second quarter was charged with the negative impact from the divestment of the Danish mortgage portfolio.

Other income increased to SEK 546m (346) mainly due to increased net insurance and higher income from Entercard and the savings banks.

Expenses were stable at SEK 2 694m (2 699).

Credit impairments amounted to SEK 328m (147) due to weaker macroeconomic scenarios, ratings and stage changes, and the new default definition.

January – September 2022 compared with January – September 2021

Profit was stable at SEK 10 018m (10 065). Increased income was offset by higher expenses, higher credit impairments and the introduction of the bank tax.

Net interest income increased by 16 per cent to SEK 13 673m (11 786) mainly due to higher deposit margins caused by higher market interest rates. This was offset by lower lending margins and a higher deposit guarantee fee.

Net commission income decreased to SEK 6 623m (6 786) due to lower asset management income as a result of the market downturn. This was partly offset by higher card income.

Net gains and losses on financial items decreased to SEK 242m (442) due to a positive valuation effect in 2021 in connection with Hemnet's IPO and a negative valuation effect this year from the divestment of the Danish mortgage portfolio.

Other income decreased to SEK 1 383m (1 494) mainly driven by lower income from Entercard and partly owned savings banks.

Expenses increased by 2 per cent to SEK 8 059m (7 878) mainly due to increased compliance-related expenses.

Credit impairments amounted to SEK 560m (-110) and are the result of weaker macroeconomic scenarios and negative ratings and stage changes.

Business development

The Swedish mortgage market slowed in the quarter against the backdrop of rising interest rates, higher inflation and a weak stock market. Property sales decreased year over year and prices of both tenantowner apartments and single-family homes fell compared with the previous quarter. Swedbank continued to grow in the quarter despite accelerated amortisation by many households, and was the market leader in new mortgage sales in the first two months of the quarter. As long-term fixed rates have continued to rise, our customers have increasingly chosen variable rates.

Activity in the SME market also decreased due to slowing economic development. This was especially evident in the property segment, where a number of customers chose to postpone new construction.

In asset management many customers continue to save long-term through monthly deposits, at the same time that they have redistributed part of their assets from equity funds to fixed income funds in response to the bearish stock market.

Work continued during the quarter to improve customer service and availability. This includes the advisory functionality for savings by private customers in the internet bank. By responding to a number of questions, the customer can receive personalised advice. An advisor can support them if needed and offer more qualified advice.

As part of the effort to give customers even more qualified advice on sustainable investments, our advisors received training in the quarter on the new regulations that took effect in August and require them to include sustainability issues when advising on savings and insurance.

Customers were also given the option in the quarter to link their new debit card to ApplePay from the time they order the card. This helps customers – especially those who have blocked their card – by allowing them to use the new card straight away without having to wait for the new card to arrive.

Swedbank remains socially engaged through the organisations Young Entrepreneurship, Young Finances and Digital Economy. Among other things, we have educated nearly 1 000 customers as part of the Digital Economy initiative, whose goal is to reduce the digital divide, especially among our older customers. All in an effort to contribute to a financially sound and sustainable society

Result

Third quarter 2022 compared with second quarter 2022

Profit increased in the third quarter to SEK 1 649m (1 196) due to higher income, partly offset by higher expenses and credit impairments. Foreign exchange effects increased profit by SEK 20m.

Net interest income increased by 46 per cent in local currency mainly due to higher deposit margins resulting from rising interest rates. Higher lending volumes contributed positively. Foreign exchange effects increased net interest income by SEK 33m.

Lending increased by 5 per cent in local currency. Household lending increased by 2 per cent while corporate lending increased by 8 per cent. Foreign exchange effects positively contributed SEK 3bn.

Deposit volumes increased by 1 per cent in local currency. Corporate and household deposits each increased by 1 per cent. Foreign exchange effects positively contributed SEK 4bn.

Net commission income increased by 2 per cent in local currency largely thanks to higher card usage.

Net gains and losses on financial items increased by 42 per cent in local currency mainly due to lower unrealised losses in asset management and insurance portfolios in the quarter.

Other income decreased by 10 per cent in local currency due to a weaker insurance result, which was caused by higher claims at the same time that premium income continued to grow.

Expenses increased by 5 per cent in local currency largely driven by a larger staff and higher operating expenses. Foreign exchange effects positively affected expenses by SEK 18m.

Credit impairments amounted to SEK 132m (-2) and were mainly explained by the new default definition and also weaker macroeconomic scenarios.

January – September 2022 compared with January – September 2021

Profit increased to SEK 3 951m (3 096) in the period mainly due to higher income and lower credit impairments, partly offset by increased expenses. Foreign exchange effects positively affected profit by SEK 139m.

Net interest income increased by 24 per cent in local currency. Higher deposit margins and lending volumes were offset slightly by lower compensation for the European Central Bank's targeted longer-term refinancing operations. Foreign exchange effects positively affected net interest income by SEK 182m.

Lending increased by 11 per cent in local currency. Household lending increased by 9 per cent, while corporate lending increased by 13 per cent. Foreign exchange effects increased lending by SEK 14bn.

Deposits increased by 5 per cent in local currency. Deposits increased in all three markets. Foreign exchange effects positively affected deposits by SEK 22bn.

Net commission income increased by 6 per cent in local currency largely due to higher income from cards.

Net gains and losses on financial items decreased by 16 per cent in local currency due to revaluations of fund and bond holdings in the insurance operations.

Other income increased by 7 per cent in local currency thanks to a better insurance result.

Expenses increased by 7 per cent in local currency mainly due to higher staff costs and energy expenses. Expenses for AML, risk management and compliance also increased, partly offset by a reduction in the number of branches. Expenses for and investments in digital solutions also rose. Foreign exchange effects positively affected expenses by SEK 114m.

Credit impairments amounted to SEK 118m (177) and are mainly explained by the new default definition and negative ratings and stage changes.

Business development

While geopolitical uncertainty, rising energy prices and high inflation continued to hurt economic activity in the Baltic countries, the impact on Swedbank's operations has been limited. The housing market slumped in the Baltic capitals as a result of the economic slowdown, but price levels have not been appreciably impacted due to

the underlying urbanisation trend and high demand for more modern housing. New construction activity has decreased since the start of the pandemic, limiting the supply of new housing and stabilising prices.

Swedbank is the leading bank for mortgage loans in the Baltic countries. Five-year fixed-rate mortgages were launched in all three countries, and in Latvia agreements can now be registered directly on behalf of customers, improving their experience. Swedbank has continued to help customers make sustainable choices. Demand for green products, such as leasing of environmentally friendly vehicles and installation of solar panels and heat pumps, has remained good.

Increased demand for working capital contributed to continued growth in Swedbank's corporate finance in the quarter. Demand primarily increased from customers in the energy sector to meet the energy needs of the Baltic countries. Demand for financing for renewable energy investments was high as well. Swedbank also provided agricultural, manufacturing and transport companies with additional liquidity to manage their increased expenses.

Swedbank further expanded its offering in the quarter. In Estonia we began offering student loans with variable interest rates due to a regulatory change. In Estonia and Latvia customers who call the customer centre can now verify their identity themselves using Smart-ID, which makes their interaction more efficient. In all three countries customers can now open accounts for their children under 18 digitally.

To simplify the invoicing process for businesses, a new payment service was launched where they can manage invoices by following a link.

At the end of August, Swedbank co-arranged sTARTUp Day, the largest festival for startups in the Baltic countries. The event included seminars on sustainability, corporate finance and growth.

In September, Swedbank was named the "most loved brand" at the annual Baltic Brand Awards ceremony. For the fourth year in a row Swedbank is the most loved brand in all three Baltic countries.

Jon Lidefelt Head of Baltic Banking

Swedbank is the largest bank by number of customers in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, with around 3.4 million private customers and nearly 300 000 corporate customers. According to surveys, Swedbank is also the most popular brand in the Baltic countries. Through digital channels, customer centres and branches, the bank is always available. Swedbank is part of the local community. Local social engagement is expressed in many ways, with initiatives to promote education, entrepreneurship and social welfare. Swedbank has 15 branches in Estonia, 18 in Latvia and 42 in Lithuania.

Result

2022

Despite higher income, profit decreased to SEK 565m (772) mainly due to higher credit impairments and a one-time effect attributable to impairment of goodwill.

Net interest income increased by 10 per cent to SEK 1 240m (1 123). The deposit margin improved due to higher interest rates. Increased demand for financing led to stronger lending volumes with stable client margins.

Net commission income decreased to SEK 679m (725) due to lower income from bond issuance as well as lower advisory income related to M&A and equity issuance.

Net gains and losses on financial items increased to SEK 256m (133). A recovery following the second quarter's negative market value changes in the trading portfolio of bonds where Swedbank is a liquidity guarantor contributed positively. Earnings from FX

trading remained stable. Lower income from fixed income trading and derivative valuation adjustments (CVA/DVA) had a negative effect.

Total expenses decreased by 1 per cent to SEK 1 033m (1 047) mainly due to seasonally lower staff costs.

In connection with the new strategic partnership with SpareBank 1 Markets, goodwill in Swedbank's Norwegian operations was impaired by SEK 181m.

Credit impairments amounted to SEK 141m (-115) and are explained mainly by weaker macroeconomic scenarios.

January – September 2022 compared with January – September 2021

Despite increased income and lower credit impairments, profit decreased to SEK 1 920m (2 213) due to goodwill impairment and the introduction of the bank tax.

Net interest income increased by 17 per cent to

SEK 3 389m (2 897) mainly due to higher average lending volumes and an improved result from deposits due to changes in market conditions.

Net commission income decreased to SEK 2 064m (2 093) as a result of lower advisory commissions related to IPOs and equity issues. Income from asset management also decreased. Net commission income was positively affected by increased income from lending commissions.

Net gains and losses on financial items decreased to SEK 635m (908) largely due to negative effects from revaluations of the trading portfolio of corporate bonds. Income from bond issues also decreased. High customer activity in fixed income and FX trading contributed positively, as did derivative value adjustments (DVA).

Expenses increased to SEK 3 103m (2 977) partly due to higher staff costs following annual salary increases, but also due to slightly higher IT expenses. Expenses tied to customer activities increased as well.

Credit impairments amounted to SEK 103m (176) and are mainly explained by weaker macroeconomic scenarios, partly offset by lower individually assessed provisions for counterparties in the oil and offshore sector.

Business development

Liquidity and demand in the capital market improved somewhat in the quarter, but the market continued to be characterised by high credit spreads and rising interest rates. While demand for corporate finance remained high since the bond market was not as attractive as before, it has declined, however.

The primary market for bonds was dominated by frequent issuers with higher ratings, such as banks and municipalities. Swedbank assisted among others Kommuninvest and the municipality of Vellinge with their green bond issues, as well as Nykredit Realkredit of Denmark with its green covered bond issue. The markets were calmer for part of the quarter, which allowed high-yield companies to also issue debt. In this segment Swedbank assisted the real estate companies Cibus Nordic Real Estate, Emilshus and NP3 with their green bond issues.

Swedbank also served as an advisor to Ilmatar Energy of Finland on a green loan transaction directly with investors, which attracted great interest from international investors.

The equity market also experienced high volatility in the quarter and issuance activity was limited. Swedbank did however act as joint global coordinator in Altor's sale of its holding in the battery technology company CTEK.

For January – September 2022 a gain of SEK 4 547m (1 413) was recognised in other comprehensive income, relating to remeasurements of defined benefit pension plans. As per 30 September 2022 the discount rate used to calculate the closing pension obligation was 4.62 per cent, compared with 2.10 per cent per 31 December 2021. The inflation assumption was 2.47 per cent compared with 2.30 per cent per 31 December 2021. The changed assumptions together with gains and losses based on experience represented SEK 8 521m of the positive result in other comprehensive income. The fair value of plan assets decreased during January – September 2022 by SEK 3 974m. In total at end of September 2022, the fair value of plan assets exceeded the obligation for funded defined benefit pension plans by SEK 3 029m, why the funded plans are presented as asset. At last year end,

the obligation for all defined benefit plans exceeded the fair value of plan assets by SEK 1 801m.

For January – September 2022 an exchange rate difference of SEK 3 034m (514) was recognised for the Group's foreign net investments in subsidiaries. The gain related to subsidiaries mainly arose because the Swedish krona weakened against the euro during the period. In addition, an exchange rate difference of SEK 10m (82) for the Group's foreign net investments in associates and joint ventures is included in Share of other comprehensive income of associates and joint ventures. The total gain of SEK 3 044m is not taxable. The large part of the Group's foreign net investments is hedged against currency risk resulting in a loss of SEK 2 402m (443) for the hedging instruments.

Note 1 Accounting policies

The interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The condensed consolidated financial statements have also been prepared in accordance with the recommendations and statements of the Swedish Financial Reporting Board, the Annual Accounts Act for Credit Institutions and Securities Companies and the directives of the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (SFSA).

The Parent Company report has been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act for Credit Institutions and Securities Companies, the directives of the SFSA and recommendation RFR 2 of the Swedish Financial Reporting Board.

The accounting policies applied in the interim report conform to those applied in the Annual and Sustainability Report for 2021, which was prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and interpretations thereof. Other than as described below, there have been no significant changes to the Group's accounting policies.

The financial statements are presented in Swedish kronor and all figures are rounded to millions of kronor (SEKm) unless indicated otherwise. From Q3 2022 no adjustments for rounding are made, therefore summation differences may occur.

Definition of default and credit-impaired assets

The Group's IFRS 9 definitions of default and creditimpaired assets are aligned to the Group's regulatory definition of default, as this is what is used for risk management purposes. During Q3 2022, the Group implemented the new regulatory definition of default according to EBA Guideline on the application of the definition of default under Article 178 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013.

According to the new definition, default for sovereigns and financial institutions is no longer solely triggered based on manual decisions. Consequently, Swedbank now applies the 90 days past due criterion for these borrowers. This consequential amendment is implemented prospectively and had no impact on the Stage allocation of these borrowers.

New Swedish bank tax and changed presentation of resolution fees

A new Swedish bank tax (Risk tax on credit institutions) was introduced from 1 January 2022 and is presented on a new row in the income statement. From 2022 the Group also presents resolution fees on this row, which is named Swedish bank tax and resolution fees. Previously the resolution fees have been included in Interest expense within Net interest income. Comparative figures have been restated, see note 28.

Other changes in accounting regulations

Other amended regulations that have been adopted from 1 January 2022 did not have a significant impact on the Group's financial position, results, cash flows or disclosures.

Note 2 Critical accounting estimates

Presentation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the executive management to make judgments and estimates that affect the recognised amounts for assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the reporting date as well as the recognised income and expenses during the report period. The executive management continuously evaluates these judgments and estimates, including assessing control over investment funds, the fair value of financial instruments, provisions for credit impairment, impairment testing of

goodwill, deferred taxes and defined benefit pension provisions.

Post-model expert credit adjustments to the credit impairment provisions continue to be necessary, given uncertainties surrounding the implications from the war in Ukraine, combined with higher energy prices and inflation as well as rising interest rates. Details of these are found in Note 9. Beyond that, there have been no significant changes to the basis upon which the critical accounting judgments and estimates have been determined compared with 31 December 2021.

Note 3 Changes in the Group structure

No significant changes to the Group structure occurred during the first nine months 2022.

Operating segments accounting policies

The operating segment report is based on Swedbank's accounting policies, organisation and management accounts. Market-based transfer prices are applied between operating segments, while all expenses for Group functions and Group staffs are transfer priced at cost to the operating segments. Cross-border transfer pricing is applied according to OECD transfer pricing guidelines.

The Group's equity attributable to shareholders is allocated to each operating segment based on capital adequacy rules and estimated capital requirements based on the bank's Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP).

The return on allocated equity for the operating segments is calculated based on profit for the period attributable to the shareholders for the operating segment, in relation to average monthly allocated equity for the operating segment. For periods shorter than one year the key ratio is annualised.

During the first half of 2022, minor changes between Swedbank's operating segments was made to coincide with the organisational changes. Comparative figures have been restated.

During 2021, the Group has reduced its gross exposure in the Shipping and offshore sector through sales and restructuring, resulting in write offs of the gross exposures. The majority of the Stage 3 exposures that were written off were previously provisioned.

Calculation of credit impairment provisions

The measurement of expected credit losses is described in Note G3.1 Credit risks on pages 80-85 of the 2021 Annual and Sustainability Report.

Measurement of 12-month and lifetime expected credit losses

The war in Ukraine continues to exacerbate and put pressure on the weaknesses and imbalances in the economy, particularly in relation to supply chain disruptions, shortages of input goods and significantly higher energy prices. Other implications include higher inflation and interest rate hikes. As the quantitative risk models do not yet reflect all potential deteriorations in credit quality, post-model adjustments to increase the credit impairment provisions continue to be deemed necessary.

The post-model expert credit adjustments amounted to SEK 1 700m (SEK 1 796m as of 31 December 2021) and are allocated as SEK 893m in stage 1, SEK 806m in stage 2 and SEK 1m in stage 3. Customers and industries are reviewed and analysed considering the current situation, particularly in more vulnerable sectors. At 30 September 2022, Shipping and offshore was reduced whilst Manufacturing, Property management and Retail and wholesale were increased. The most significant post-model adjustments are in the Manufacturing, Shipping and offshore, Retail and wholesale, Property management and Construction and Transport sectors.

Determination of a significant increase in credit risk The tables below show the quantitative thresholds used by the Group for assessing a significant increase in credit risk, namely:

  • Changes in the 12-month PD and internal risk rating grades, which have been applied for the portfolio of loans originated before 1 January 2018. For instance, for exposures originated with a risk grade between 0 and 5, a downgrade by 1 grade from initial recognition is assessed as a significant change in credit risk. Alternatively, for exposures originated with a risk grade between 18 and 21, a downgrade by 5 to 8 grades from initial recognition is considered significant. Internal risk ratings are assigned according to the risk management framework outlined in Note G3 Risks in the 2021 Annual and Sustainability Report.
  • Changes in the lifetime PD, which have been applied for the portfolio of loans originated on or after 1 January 2018. For instance, for exposures originated with a risk grade between 0 and 5, a 50 per cent increase in the lifetime PD from initial recognition is assessed as a significant change in credit risk. Alternatively, for exposures originated with a risk grade between 18 and 21, an increase of 200-300 per cent from initial recognition is considered significant.

These limits reflect a lower sensitivity to change in the low-risk end of the risk scale and a higher sensitivity to change in the high-risk end of the scale. The Group has performed a sensitivity analysis on how credit impairment provisions would change if thresholds applied were increased or decreased. A lower threshold would increase the number of loans that have migrated from

Stage 1 to Stage 2 and also increase the estimated credit impairment provisions. A higher threshold would have the opposite effect.

The tables below disclose the impacts of this sensitivity analysis on the credit impairment provisions. Positive amounts represent higher credit impairment provisions that would be recognised.

Incorporation of forward-looking macroeconomic scenarios

The Swedbank Economic Outlook was published on 24 August and would typically serve as the baseline scenario. The baseline scenario was updated to 8 September by Swedbank Macro Research, with an assigned probability weight of 66.6 per cent. Aligned with the updated baseline scenario, new alternative scenarios were developed, with assigned probability

weights of 16.7 per cent on both the upside and downside scenario. These new macroeconomic scenarios were included in the expected credit losses calculations according to the Group's monthly process. The table below sets out the key assumptions of the scenarios at 30 September 2022.

1) Unemployment rate, 16-64 years

High inflation and higher interest rates will weigh on household consumption and firms' investments. Global GDP growth is expected to drop to 2 per cent next year. The overall assessment is that risks are tilted slightly downwards.

The forecast is based on the assumption that the Western sanctions and boycotts on Russia will remain in place throughout the forecast horizon and that Russia will limit, and temporarily halt, the exports of natural gas to Europe. In addition, Covid-19 is not expected to have any major economic or societal impact during the forecast horizon, either in Europe or in the US, but in China the zero-Covid policy continues to weigh on the economy.

Although many commodity prices have eased in recent months on recession worries, underlying inflation pressure will in most countries remain uncomfortably high also during the second half of this year and start to ease only gradually in 2023. To curb inflation, most central banks, including the Federal Reserve (Fed) and the European Central Bank (ECB), will tighten monetary policy further this autumn. Much higher policy rates are expected at the end of this year compared to the previous forecast.

Growth is expected to slow also in Sweden, affected by high inflation but a deep recession is being avoided. The housing market is put under pressure, and it is expected that housing prices will have fallen about 15 per cent from peak to bottom. The Riksbank continues to increase rates.

In the Baltics, a few negative quarters of GDP growth and a mild technical recession before growth recovers towards the middle of 2023 are expected. Inflation has accelerated to above 21 per cent in all three Baltic countries, but it is estimated that the peak is near, and inflation is expected to moderate in 2023 and 2024.

Sensitivity

Set out below are the credit impairment provisions that would result from the negative and positive scenarios, which are considered reasonably possible, being assigned probabilities of 100 per cent. Post-model expert credit adjustments are assumed to be constant in the results.

Note 20 Financial instruments recognised at fair value

The determination of fair value, the valuation hierarchy and the valuation process for fair value measurements in Level 3 are described in the Annual and Sustainability Report 2021, note G46 Fair value of financial instruments.

The financial instruments are distributed in three levels depending on inputs to the measurement.

• Level 1: Unadjusted quoted price on an active market

• Level 2: Adjusted quoted price or valuation model with valuation parameters derived from an active market

• Level 3: Valuation model where significant valuation parameters are non-observable and based on internal assumptions

The following tables present fair values of financial instruments recognised at fair value split between the three valuation hierarchy levels.

Financial instruments are transferred to or from level 3 depending on whether the internal assumptions have changed in significance to the valuation.

Level 3 comprises mainly strategic unlisted shares. These include holdings in VISA Inc. C shares that are subject to selling restrictions until June 2028 and under certain conditions may have to be returned. Liquid quotes are not available for these shares, therefore the fair value is established with significant elements of Swedbank's own internal assumptions. During the third quarter there was a conversion of VISA Inc. C shares to VISA Inc. A, after which the carrying amount of the

holdings in Visa Inc. C amounts to SEK 296m (666) as per 30 September 2022.

In the Group's insurance operations, fund units are held in which the customers have chosen to invest their insurance savings. The holdings are reported in the balance sheet as financial assets where the customers bear the investment risk and are normally measured at fair value according to level 1, because the units are traded in an active market. The Group's obligations to insurance savers are reported as financial liabilities where the customers bear the investment risk because it is the customers who bear

the entire market value change of the assets. The liabilities are normally measured at fair value according to level 2.

During the first quarter 2022, trading was closed in whole or in part in Russia and Eastern Europe targeted funds. These unit holdings and liabilities to the insurance savers have therefor been transferred and measured to fair value according to level 3. Fully closed funds have been measured at a indicative value, alternatively SEK 0m, while funds that were open for sales have been measured at the sale value. The liabilities have been measured on the same basis.

1) The pledge is defined as the borrower's nominal debt including accrued interest and refers to the loans of the total available collateral that are used as the pledge at each point in time.

30 September 2021 amount for Loans granted but not paid has been restated due to a change in the scope of agreements included.

Swedbank is cooperating with authorities in the United States who are conducting investigations into Swedbank's historic AML compliance and the Group's response thereto, as well as related issues involving the Group's anti-money laundering controls and certain individuals and entities who may at some time have been customers of the Group.

Swedbank AS in Estonia has in March 2022 been informed by the Estonian Prosecutor that Swedbank AS is suspected of money laundering during the period 2014-2016.

The timing of the completion of the investigations are still unknown and the outcome are still uncertain. At present, it is not possible to reliably estimate the amount of any potential settlement or fines, which could be material.

Note 22 Offsetting financial assets and liabilities

The tables below present recognised financial instruments that have been offset in the balance sheet under IAS 32 and those that are subject to legally enforceable master netting or similar agreements but do not qualify for offset. Such financial instruments relate to derivatives, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, securities settlements, securities borrowing and lending transactions. Collateral amounts represent financial instruments or cash collateral received or pledged for transactions that are subject to a legally

enforceable master netting or similar agreements and which allow for the netting of obligations against the counterparty in the event of a default. Collateral amounts are limited to the amount of the related instruments presented in the balance sheet; therefore any over-collateralisation is not included. Amounts that are not offset in the balance sheet are presented as a reduction to the financial assets or liabilities in order to derive net asset and net liability exposure.

The amount offset for derivative assets includes offset cash collateral of SEK 22 377m (1 447) derived from the balance sheet item Amounts owed to credit institutions. The amount offset for derivative liabilities includes offset cash collateral of SEK 23 433m (2 249), derived from the balance sheet item Loans to credit institutions.

As of 31 March 2022, offset amounts for security settlement claims and liabilities are included in the table above. The significant increase in gross amounts between 31 December 2021 and 30 September 2022 is mainly due to valuation changes on derivatives.

Note 24 Internal capital requirement

This note provides information on the internal capital assessment according to chapter 8, section 5 of the SFSA's regulation on prudential requirements and capital buffers (2014:12). The internal capital assessment is published in the interim report according to chapter 8, section 4 of the SFSA's regulation and general advice on annual reports from credit institutions and investment firms (2008:25).

A bank must identify, measure and manage the risks with which its activities are associated and have sufficient capital to cover these risks. The purpose of the Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) is to ensure that the bank is sufficiently capitalised to cover its risks and to conduct and develop its business activities. Swedbank applies its own models and processes to evaluate its capital need for all relevant risks. The models that serve as a basis for the internal capital assessment evaluate the need for economic capital over a one-year horizon at a 99.9 per cent confidence level for each type of risk. Diversification effects between various types of risks are not taken into account in the calculation of economic capital.

As a complement to the economic capital calculation, scenario-based simulations and stress tests are conducted at least once a year. The analyses provide an overview of the most important risks Swedbank is exposed to by quantifying their

Note 25 Risks and uncertainties

Swedbank's earnings are affected by changes in the global marketplace over which it has no control, including macroeconomic factors such as GDP, asset prices and unemployment as well as changes in interest rates, equity prices and exchange rates. The war in Ukraine and the changed macroeconomic conditions mean that previous economic forecasts have been revised down.

Geopolitical situation

The geopolitical tensions continue to be high since the beginning of the war in Ukraine in February 2022. In the end of May, the EU agreed on a sixth sanction package that includes e.g., a stage-bystage embargo on Russian oil. The energy conflict between Russia and the West escalated further in the third quarter. Although Swedbank's direct as well as indirect exposures to Russia, Ukraine and Belarus are limited, there is an overall European dependence on Russian energy such that also Swedbank's home markets are affected by the sanction's implications. The war has however exacerbated the existing supply chain problems from the pandemic, leading to shortages and drastic price increases on energy, food and a number of raw materials. In addition, Europe may face a shortage of natural gas in the winter as Russia restricts supply in response to sanctions. Investments to ensure energy security has become a top priority for many countries, including the Bank´s home markets. Still, considering the fact that impact on the income statement and balance sheet as well as the own funds and risk-weighted assets. The purpose is to ensure efficient use of capital. The methodology serves as a basis of proactive risk and capital management.

As of 30 September 2022, the internal capital assessment for Swedbank's consolidated situation amounted to SEK 36.7bn (SEK 36.6bn as of 31 December 2021). The capital to meet the internal capital assessment, i.e. the Total capital, amounted to SEK 174.1bn (SEK 158.6bn as of 31 December 2021) (see Note 23). Swedbank's internal capital assessment using its own models is not comparable with the estimated capital requirement that the SFSA releases quarterly and does not consider the SFSA risk-weight floor for Swedish mortgages.

The internally estimated capital requirement for the parent company amounted to SEK 29.7bn (SEK 25.3bn as of 31 December 2021) and the total capital amounted to SEK 135.4bn (SEK 126.1bn as of 31 December 2021) (see the parent company's note on capital adequacy).

In addition to what is stated in this interim report, risk management and capital adequacy according to the Basel 3 framework are described in more detail in Swedbank's annual report for 2021 as well as in Swedbank's yearly Risk and Capital Adequacy Report, available on www.swedbank.se.

the conflict countries are large producers of several food related groceries and input goods, in combination with rising energy prices and extended sanctions against Russia, it adds to the risk of sustained high inflation. Swedbank closely monitors the geopolitical and macroeconomic developments.

IT and information security risk management continues to be a priority. The number of IT attacks against the financial industry has increased and the Bank's external threat level is assessed as elevated, but Swedbank's capacity to manage these risks is good.

Anti-money laundering and Counter terrorist financing and other compliance risks

For risks related to the ongoing investigations of authorities in US and Estonia related to historic antimoney laundering compliance and response related to anti-money laundering controls, please refer to Note 21 Assets pledged, contingent liabilities and commitments.

Due to the Geopolitical situation in Russia and Ukraine the sanction risk has been elevated. Many new sanctions regimes have entered or are to enter in to force in very close future, however these are managed by a specific sanctions task force and closely daily follow ups of the latest development. Sanctions regimes are continuously implemented in the Swedbank's screening systems and investigational resources have been allocated. Numbers of freezed assets and rejected

transactions are rather limited so far. Risks of antimoney laundering and terrorist financing are elevated and being monitored.

In addition to the observations reported on money laundering and terrorist financing, Swedbank has previously identified elevated compliance risks within the bank related to internal governance as noted by supervisory authorities in their investigations of money laundering. In this regard, Swedbank assesses that the deficiencies identified by the supervisory authorities have been addressed by the bank, and to a large extent remediated. Swedbank has also identified elevated compliance risks in the market surveillance area. Work is ongoing within the bank to address the deficiencies identified. Swedbank's Compliance function monitors this work.

Tax

The tax area is complex and leaves room for judgement. Practices and interpretations of applicable laws can be changed, sometimes retroactively. In the event that the tax authorities and, where appropriate, the tax courts decide on a different interpretation than what Swedbank initially made, it could impact the Group's operations, results and financial position.

In addition to what is stated in this interim report, detailed descriptions are provided in Swedbank's 2021 Annual and sustainability report and in the disclosure in the Risk Management and Capital Adequacy reports available at www.swedbank.com.

Alternative performance measures

Swedbank prepares its financial statements in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU, as set out in Note 1. The interim report includes a number of alternative performance measures, which exclude certain items that management believes are not representative of the underlying/ongoing performance of the business. Therefore the alternative performance measures provide more comparative information between periods. Management believes that inclusion of these measures provides information to the readers that enable comparability between periods.

Measure and definition Purpose
Net investment margin before trading interest is deducted
Calculated as Net interest income before trading-related interest is deducted, in
relation to average total assets. The average is calculated using month-end
figures1, including the prior year end. The nearest IFRS measure is Net interest
income and can be reconciled in Note 5.

interest expense, independent of

required by IFRS. The Group's equity attributable to shareholders is allocated to
each operating segment based on capital adequacy rules and estimated capital
requirements based on the bank's internal Capital Adequacy Assessment
Process (ICAAP). The allocated equity amounts per operating segment are
reconciled to the Group Total equity, the nearest IFRS measure, in Note 4.

Review report

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Swedbank AB (publ) as of 30 September 2022 and the nine-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual accounts act for credit institutions and securities companies. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, ISA, and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual accounts act for credit institutions and securities companies, regarding the Group, and with the Annual accounts act for credit institutions and securities companies, regarding the Parent Company.
