Norion Bank Group is a business-oriented Nordic financing bank. The Group's brands – Norion Bank, Walley and Collector – offer customized financing solutions that meet distinct needs in three customer segments: medium-sized corporates and real estate companies, merchants, and private individuals. As a specialist in financing solutions, Norion Bank Group is a leading complement to traditional large banks, with a vision of being the leading Nordic financing bank in its chosen segments.

Corporate and real estate loans, as well as factoring solutions, for medium-sized corporates and real estate companies.
Payment and checkout solutions for merchants and private customers.
Personal loans and credit cards for private individuals as well as savings accounts for private individuals and corporates.
2024 was characterized by gradually increasing optimism as the global economy moved towards reduced inflation and decreased market rates. We thus witnessed an improved sentiment and increased transaction activity. Towards the end of 2024, geopolitical risks intensified and the first quarter of this year has shown similar development. Significant attention has been directed towards the actions of the American administration and particularly the restructuring of global trade policies. This has contributed to concerns about a changing macroeconomic landscape and financial markets have reacted strongly, resulting in high volatility. The outlook is therefore more difficult to assess, both in terms of economic conditions and inflation.
Despite ongoing turbulence, the Swedish Riksbank assesses that Sweden is well-positioned to manage potential challenges and that the economic outlook remains relatively stable. Interest rates continue to be at more attractive levels than a year ago and Swedish companies have historically demonstrated good ability to be flexible and to adapt. As always, it is important to monitor the developments closely moving forward.
The first quarter of the year has nonetheless been characterized by a generally positive sentiment among our corporate and real estate clients, with interest being well maintained. Market interest rates remain at more attractive levels, which is positive for the clients in both segments. The corporate loan book has increased by 28% compared to the corresponding quarter last year and we have a long-term, attractive positioning with focus on mediumsized companies. The real estate loan book has decreased during the same period, which is attributable to previously known amortizations, negative currency effects and changes in accounting methodology. As previously communicated, it is gratifying that some of our real estate clients in stage 3, who have experienced payment difficulties, now have paid their accrued interests. We are happy that these payments have been received, which also has resulted in a significant profit increase. We maintain close dialogue with our clients in stage 3 to enable them to catch up with their interest payments.
The Consumer segment continues to demonstrate stability, as the loan book increased by 8% compared to the corresponding quarter last year. We have, however, witnessed a more cautious customer sentiment, due to the recent macroeconomic development. The segment continues to prioritize sound and sustainable lending and has successfully launched a campaign communicating that "borrowing costs money." The campaign aims to highlight the importance of responsible borrowing and aligns well with the segment's future ambitions. Furthermore, it is gratifying that the acquisition of DNB Sweden's credit card portfolio was completed after the end of the quarter. Through this, we strengthen our position in the Swedish consumer finance market, and the number of credit card clients now amounts to approximately 95,000, representing a significant increase. Additionally, clients gain access to attractive partner deals, which constitute a new pillar within Norion Bank's consumer business. We look forward to the continued development.
Our Payment segment, Walley, continues to strengthen its market position and now constitutes the second-largest payment solution provider in the Nordics for medium and large corporates, with 5.7 million active clients. Walley is showing strong growth in transaction volumes, driven by both further cooperation with existing merchants and the addition of new partnerships. New cooperations have been established with for example Lager 157 and Nordiska Galleriet during the last months. Walley intends to present additional, attractive collaborations throughout the year.
Despite a strong report and continued positive development, the bank's progress has unfortunately been overshadowed by negative media attention during the end of the quarter. A complex and challenging situation which has required us to file a police report. The situation has been demanding but the bank cannot accept being subjected to extortion.
Several critical articles have also been published about our chairman, who has no operational role in the bank. The management is responsible for the bank's daily operations. Our chairman has proven to be a significant resource for the bank and its shareholders, as result of his financial commitment.
We look forward to continue to strengthen our position with the vision of being a leading Nordic, financing bank. With a stable and diversified business, expertise and clear growth ambition, we are well equipped to create long-term value.

"Continued stability in a more uncertain market"
Norion Bank's strategy is to maintain good risk adjusted profitability. In line with the strategy, the Board of Norion Bank has adopted the following financial targets:

Norion Bank's policy is to distribute potential surplus capital in relation to the capital adequacy target, subject to the bank's future outlook and capital planning, to its shareholders.

Total income amounted to SEK 1,022 million (933) corresponding to an increase of 10% compared to the first quarter of 2024. The increase is primarily attributable to received interest payments of approximately SEK 140 million from real estate clients within Stage 3. Net interest income increased by 11% compared to the previous year and amounted to SEK 928 million (832). Net interest income has continued to be negatively affected by high volumes in Stage 3, primarily within the Real Estate segment. The net interest margin amounted to 7.6% (7.3). Net commission income amounted to SEK 78 million (81) corresponding to a decrease of 4%. Net gains and losses on financial items amounted to SEK 1 million (4). Other income amounted to SEK 16 million (15).
Total expenses amounted to SEK 281 million (258) during the first quarter of 2025. The C/I ratio for the period amounted to 27.5% (27.7). Norion Bank hence continues to prove solid cost control.
The total loan portfolio amounted to SEK 47,513 million (45,199) by the end of the first quarter of 2025, corresponding to an increase of 5% compared to last year and a decrease of 6% compared to the previous quarter. The Corporate loan portfolio has increased by 28% compared to the previous year and decreased by 3% compared to the previous quarter. The Real Estate loan portfolio has decreased by 5% compared to the previous year and decreased by 9% compared to the previous quarter. The Consumer loan portfolio has increased by 8% compared to the previous year and decreased by 1% compared to the previous quarter. The Payments loan portfolio has increased by 3% compared to the previous year and decreased by 8% compared to the previous quarter. Out of the total loan portfolio, Corporate amounted to 24% (19), Real Estate amounted to 44% (49), Consumer amounted to 25% (25), Payments amounted to 6% (6) and Other amounted to 1% (1) by the end of the quarter.
The credit loss level amounted to 1.8% (2.3) in the first quarter of 2025.
Operating profit amounted to SEK 525 million (417) during the first quarter of 2025. This represented an increase of 26% compared to the previous quarter. Net profit amounted to SEK 412 million (329) during the same period. Earnings per share amounted to SEK 2.01 (1.53) and return on equity amounted to 17.8% (15.8). The increased result is attributable to received interest payments of approximately SEK 140 million from real estate clients within Stage 3.
Non-recurring items are defined as income and expenses that are not expected to appear on a regular basis.
There were no non-recurring items in the first quarter of 2025.
There were no non-recurring items in the first, second, third or fourth quarter of 2024.
Norion Bank's total liquidity amounted to SEK 18,937 million (10,240) as of 31 March 2025. Total liquidity consists of a liquidity portfolio and other liquid assets. The liquidity portfolio consists of highly liquid assets, e.g. municipal bonds, covered bonds and government issued securities, and amounted to SEK 14,371 million (6,555) as of 31 March 2025. Other liquid assets mainly consist of deposit accounts with Nordic banks and amounted to SEK 4,566 million (3,685) as of 31 March 2025.
On 30 September 2024 the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority presented a legal position regarding handling of deposits through digital platforms. As of 31 March 2025 Norion Bank's liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) amounted to 330% (470) and net stable funding ratio (NSFR) to 121% (143). The numbers as of 31 March 2025 are reported in accordance with the legal position while the historical numbers are based on the previous method. The numbers are therefore not fully comparable.
Deposits and borrowings from the public amounted to approximately 80% (80) of Norion Bank's balance sheet, which by the end of the period amounted to SEK 53,837 million (45,234). This is the primary source of funding for the Group. Senior unsecured bonds issued amounted to SEK 2,079 million (1,249). Commercial papers issued amounted to SEK 0 million (0).
Norion Bank has received permission from the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority to include net profit for the period in own funds. A review of net profit for the period for Norion Bank AB has been performed by the bank's auditor, and Norion Bank has been allowed to include net profit in the Common Equity Tier 1 capital. Over time, Norion Bank aims to work with an efficient capital planning strategy, which includes issuance of both Additional Tier 1 and Tier 2 instruments. At the end of the period, the risk-weighted exposure amount was SEK 55,068 million (47,965). As of 31 March 2025, the CET1 ratio amounted to 16.1% (16.1), the Tier 1 ratio to 16.1% (16.1) and the total capital ratio to 17.2% (16.1). Norion Bank has been applying updated capital adequacy regulations, Basel 4, since January 1, 2025.
After the end of the quarter, Norion Bank announced that the previously communicated acquisition of DNB Sweden's credit card portfolio is completed. The acquisition has no material impact on Norion Bank's result or financial position but is anticipated to contribute positively to Norion Bank's profitability from start. In connection with the financial statements for the second quarter of 2025, transaction-related accounting effects will arise as other total income is expected to increase by approximately SEK 20 million and net credit losses to increase by approximately SEK 20 million as a result of the acquisition.
Since the beginning of the year, we have witnessed increasing geopolitical unrest and volatility on financial markets. Much focus has been directed towards the actions of the US administration and changes in global trade policies. The more uncertain security situation is also of relevance for the economic development. At the same time, market interest rates remain at lower levels, following the interest rate cuts implemented last year. The Swedish Riksbank communicates that the economic outlook currently remain stable.
The loan portfolio of the Corporate segment amounted to SEK 11,221 million (8,733), corresponding to an increase of 28% over the previous year and a decrease of 3% over the previous quarter. The decrease is attributable to negative currency effects and seasonal effects within factoring. The Corporate segment accounted for 24% (19) of Norion Bank's loan portfolio by the end of the quarter. Total income amounted to SEK 226 million (165) during the quarter. The net interest margin (NIM) amounted to 7.0% compared to 6.9% in the same quarter last year and 7.3% in the previous quarter. The total income margin amounted to 7.9% compared to 7.2% in the same quarter last year and 7.8% in the previous quarter. The NIM and total income margins can vary between periods dependent on when amortizations and disbursements of new loans are made during respective period.
Market interest rates remain at lower levels, following last year's rate cuts, which is favorable for the clients within the Corporate segment. Interest among clients and potential clients has been well maintained and the sentiment has remained positive throughout the quarter. However, increasing geopolitical tensions have created more uncertainty, resulting in a generally more cautious market sentiment. Consequently, the outlook for both inflation and interest rate developments is considered more difficult to assess.
Norion Bank continues to hold an interesting position within the Corporate segment, with the ambition to serve as an attractive complement to traditional large banks, especially for mediumsized companies on the market.
Norion Bank offers corporate loans and factoring solutions with particular focus on medium-sized companies in Sweden, Norway and Finland in a wide range of industries.

The loan portfolio of the Real Estate segment amounted to SEK 21,060 million (22,086), corresponding to a decrease of 5% over the previous year and a decrease of 9% over the previous quarter. The decrease is attributable to previously known amortizations, negative currency effects, and changes in accounting methodology. The Real Estate segment accounted for 44% (49) of Norion Bank's loan portfolio by the end of the quarter. Total income amounted to SEK 416 million (342). The increase is attributable to received interest payments of approximately SEK 140 million from real estate clients within Stage 3. The net interest margin (NIM) amounted to 7.5% compared to 6.2% in the same quarter last year and 4.7% in the previous quarter. Net interest income is still negatively affected by high volumes in Stage 3. The total income margin amounted to 7.5% compared to 6.3% in the same quarter last year and 4.8% in the previous quarter. The NIM and total income margins can vary between periods dependent on when amortizations and disbursements of new loans are made during respective period.
Market interest rates remain at lower levels, following last year's rate cuts, which is favorable for the clients within the Real Estate segment.

However, increasing geopolitical tensions have created more uncertainty, resulting in a generally more cautious market sentiment. Consequently, the outlook for both inflation and interest rate developments is considered more difficult to assess.
Norion Bank has continued to apply a more selective approach with regards to completed transactions and is actively working to reduce volumes in stage 3. The work has yielded good results, and movements in negative direction tends to have diminished. The majority of the real estate portfolio still constitutes of senior loans, amounting to 61% (56) by the end of the quarter.

The loan portfolio of the Consumer segment amounted to SEK 12,019 million (11,135), corresponding to an increase of 8% over the previous year and a decrease of 1% over the previous quarter. The Consumer segment accounted for 25% (25) of Norion Bank's loan portfolio by the end of the quarter. Total income amounted to SEK 230 million (208) during the quarter. The net interest margin (NIM) amounted to 7.2% compared to 7.1% in the same quarter last year and 6.7% in the previous quarter. The total income margin amounted to 7.6% compared to 7.5% in the same quarter last year and 7.2% in the previous quarter.
The Consumer segment continues to focus on increasing risk adjusted profitability over volume growth. Furthermore, the segment continues to focus on increasing the share of new sales through own channels, which yields good results.
To encourage sound lending, and to meet new regulations, the segment successfully has launched a campaign communicating that "borrowing cost money". The campaign aims to highlight the importance of responsible borrowing and aligns well with the segment's ambitions going forward.
The first quarter of the year has been characterized by increasing geopolitical tensions, resulting in increased uncertainty and a generally more cautious market sentiment. Consequently, the outlook for both inflation and interest rate developments is considered more difficult to assess, and the Private segment has thus witnessed a more cautious customer sentiment.
After the end of the quarter, Norion Bank has completed the acquisition of DNB Sweden's credit card portfolio. The acquisition represents a strategically important step, providing opportunities to gain further competitive edges on the market. The acquisition is expected to contribute positively to the bank's profitability from start.
Collector offers unsecured loans to private individuals of up to SEK 500,000 in Sweden and up to EUR 25,000 in Finland. Sales is conducted through own channels as well as loan intermediaries.

A review has been carried out of the earnings for January - March 2025, which allows net profit for the period to be included in own funds.
The table below contains financial instruments measured at fair value by valuation level. To determine the fair value for financial instruments various methods are used, depending on the degree of observable market data in the valuation and activity in the market. The objective of the fair value measurement is to arrive at the price at which an orderly transaction would take place between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. It is not considered to be any individual assumptions that have a significant impact on the fair value of the assets or the bank's results and equity.
Valuations in Level 1 are determined by reference to unadjusted quoted market prices for identical asset- and liability instruments in active markets where the quoted prices are readily available and the prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm's length basis.
In Level 2 valuation techniques, all significant inputs to the valuation models are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 2 valuation techniques include using discounted cash flows, option pricing models, recent transactions and the price of another instrument that is substantially the same.
Level 3 valuation techniques incorporate significant inputs that are unobservable. These techniques are generally based on extrapolating from observable inputs for similar instruments, analysing historical data or other analytical techniques.
Transfers between the different levels may take place where there are indications that market conditions have changed.

Financial instruments in Level 3 refer to investments in funds. Norion Bank uses different measurement techniques depending on available data.
The investment portfolio is measured quarterly in accordance with IPEV guidelines and primarily following an external measurement where a transaction in the company has been made in the past 12 months with at least one external party. If such
measurement is not possible, or if there are objective reasons to do so, as a secondary option, an internal measurement is made based on assumed discounted cash flow.
Financial instruments are transferred to or from level 3 depending on whether the internal assumptions have changed in significance to the valuation. There were no transfers of financial instruments to or from level 3 during the period.
Norion Bank has classified its financial instruments by class taking into account the characteristics of the instruments. The fair value of each class of financialassets and liabilities are compared with its carrying amount. A description of the characteristics of the classes can be found in note 36 in the Annual Report 2024.

1) AML investigation
The Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority has, during the quarter, requested a statement from Norion Bank as a continuation of the peviously initiated investigation regarding compliance with anti-money laundering regulations, which was initiated in May 2023 towards Norion Bank and a couple of other market participants. Norion Bank commented on the matter on February 21, 2025. The timing of the completion of the ongoing investigation is still unknown and its outcome is still uncertain. At present, it is not possible to reliably estimate the amount of any potential settlement or fines.
