Swedbank has once again delivered a strong result. We are creating value for our customers and shareholders, in both good and bad times.

Uncertainty about the global economy has increased. Positive indications that the recovery was about to gain momentum have been dampened by geopolitical tensions and international trade conflicts.

During the quarter, the European Central Bank and the Riksbank cut their policy rates, while the Federal Reserve held its rate unchanged. Economic activity was strong in Lithuania, while the development in Estonia, Latvia, and Sweden was more cautious.

Swedbank stands strong in uncertain times. The result for the quarter amounted to SEK 8 196m. The return on equity was 15.2 per cent. Net interest income and net commission income were robust. Both were lower than the previous quarter due to lower markets rates, fewer days during the quarter as well as foreign exchange effects.

Strict cost control is producing results. Costs decreased on a seasonal basis and the cost/income ratio was 0.35. Credit quality is solid, and we had reversals of credit impairment provisions.

Swedbank is the leader in mortgage lending in all our home markets and we maintain our position in tough competition. Mortgage lending increased in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in local currency, while it decreased in Sweden.

In the corporate business, lending increased in Sweden while it fell slightly in the Baltic countries.

Deposits were unchanged in the Baltic markets in local currency. In Sweden, deposits increased slightly.

After a positive start to the year, global stock markets have fallen sharply. During the quarter, we saw outflows and reallocations within savings. In times of uncertainty, staying close to our customers, providing advice, and emphasising the importance of long-term savings are key responsibilities for a bank rooted in Savings Banks traditions.

In the Baltic countries, we have launched "My Budget" to help children and young adults improve their financial health. In Estonia, we invested EUR 10m in the educational foundation that we established at the end of 2024.

During the quarter, it was announced that Swedbank, together with SpareBank 1, will establish a new Nordic investment bank – SB1 Markets. This partnership will enable us to better meet the needs of our corporate customers through increased industry expertise as well as expanded equity research and equities trading.

Thanks to investments in improved technology and processes within Swedish Banking, we have increased availability for our customers. In March, we adjusted our branch hours so that our employees can spend more time meeting customers in booked meetings and by phone. This has significantly reduced waiting times for customer service by phone. Today, more than 50 per cent of incoming calls are answered within three minutes, compared to 20 per cent at the beginning of the quarter. Our goal is to reach 80 per cent.

Despite the market volatility, the Premium and Private Banking business area has generated good customer inflows. A large portion came via the corporate segment. Customers who meet the criteria can themselves book a digital introductory meeting to discuss the Premium concept.

We operate, like everyone else, in a digital environment with both denial-of-service attacks and fraud attempts. Our resilience is robust, and we are proactively taking measures to strengthen it further. This benefits our customers and society.

Facilitating the transition to a sustainable society is an important task and presents a significant business opportunity for Swedbank. During the quarter, 33 per cent of arranged bonds were classified as sustainable. The bank's Sustainable Asset Register continued to grow and amounted to SEK 136bn at the end of the quarter. We successfully issued two green bonds.

The fact that we were named the most sustainable brand among Swedish banks by SB Insight encourages us to continue driving change by helping our customers in the green transition.

On 4 June, we will host another Investor Day where we look forward to presenting an updated strategic plan for the coming years.

Our customers' future is our focus.

Result first quarter 2025 compared to fourth quarter 2024

Swedbank's profit decreased to SEK 8 196m (8 465). Income, impairments of intangible assets and expenses fell. Reversals of credit impairment provisions decreased. Foreign exchange effects negatively impacted profit before impairments, bank taxes and resolution fees by SEK 66m.

The return on equity was 15.2 per cent (15.8) and the cost/income ratio was 0.35 (0.36).

Income decreased to SEK 17 329m (18 634). All income lines except other income were lower than the previous quarter. Foreign exchange effects negatively impacted income by SEK 104m.

Net interest income decreased to SEK 11 489m (12 274) due to lower lending rates, two fewer interest days and foreign exchange effects during the quarter. This was partly offset by lower deposit rates and lower funding costs.

Net commission income decreased to SEK 4 052m (4 285). The decline was mainly due to seasonally lower card commissions as well as lower income from asset management, which was impacted by two fewer days during the quarter as well as by market performance and foreign exchange effects. Higher expenses related to payment commissions also contributed negatively.

Net gains and losses on financial items decreased to SEK 541m (923). The change between quarters was mainly related to unrealised revaluation effects of derivatives in Group Treasury due to falling market interest rates and a stronger Swedish krona. Businessdriven net gains and losses were slightly up.

Other income increased to SEK 1 247m (1 152). The change was primarily due to improved net insurance income and better results from partly owned companies.

Expenses fell to SEK 6 115m (6 740) mainly due to seasonally lower IT and consulting expenses as well as a VAT reimbursement of SEK 205m. The decrease was partly offset by expenses related to the educational foundation established by the bank in Estonia. Staff costs were stable, where the annual salary increase in Sweden was offset by a lower number of employees.

Foreign exchange effects reduced expenses by SEK 38m.

Impairments of intangible assets amounted to SEK 0m (757).

Credit impairments amounted to SEK -141m (-394), corresponding to a credit impairment ratio of -0.03 per cent (-0.08). Provisions increased for individually assessed loans by SEK 89m (-56), for updated macroeconomic scenarios by SEK 29m (-212) and for post-model adjustments by SEK 17m (146). This was offset primarily by exposure changes due to repayments from a few larger customers.

Bank taxes and resolution fees amounted to SEK 929m (858). The increase was mainly due to Latvia's introduction of a new, temporary bank tax. The new bank tax is higher the one in 2024.

The income tax expense amounted to SEK 2 229m (2 208) and corresponded to an effective tax rate of 21.4 per cent (20.7). The higher effective tax rate in the quarter was mainly due to tax changes in Lithuania, resulting partly from a one-time upward revision of a deferred tax asset in the fourth quarter as well as an increase in the corporate tax of 1 percentage point in 2025.

Result January-March 2025 compared to January-March 2024

Swedbank's profit decreased to SEK 8 196m (8 428) as a result of lower income, partly offset by lower credit impairments and lower expenses. Income fell mainly due to lower net interest income. Foreign exchange effects positively impacted profit before impairments, bank taxes and resolution fees by SEK 3m.

The return on equity was 15.2 per cent (16.9) and the cost income ratio was 0.35 (0.34).

Income decreased to SEK 17 329m (18 087) due to lower net interest income and lower net gains and losses on financial items. The decline was partly offset by higher other income and higher net commission income. Foreign exchange effects positively impacted profit by SEK 5m.

Net interest income amounted to SEK 11 489m (12 599), a decrease of 9 per cent and was negatively impacted by lower interest rates, partly offset by lower funding costs.

Net commission income increased by 2 per cent to SEK 4 052m (3 976). The rise was primarily related to asset management, which was positively impacted by a higher level of assets under management compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was partly offset by lower card commissions.

Net gains and losses on financial items decreased by 21 per cent to SEK 541m (682) due to revaluation effects within Group Treasury as well as Corporates and Institutions.

Other income rose by 51 per cent to SEK 1 247m (831). The increase was primarily related to improved net insurance income and better results from partly owned companies.

Expenses fell by 1 per cent to SEK 6 115m (6 185). The decrease was mainly driven by a VAT reimbursement of SEK 205m in the first quarter and by lower consulting expenses. The decrease was partly offset by expenses linked to the educational foundation established by the bank in Estonia as well as higher staff and IT costs.

Credit impairments amounted to SEK -141m (144), corresponding to a credit impairment ratio of -0.03 per cent (0.03), where exposure changes led to lower provisions. Credit impairments for the period January – March 2024 were mainly explained by rating and stage migrations along with increased provisions for individually assessed loans.

Bank taxes and resolution fees amounted to SEK 929m (1 104). Bank taxes were lower primarily due to that the Lithuanian bank tax decreased by more than the Latvian bank tax increased.

The income tax expense amounted to SEK 2 229m (2 226) and corresponded to an effective tax rate of 21.4 per cent (20.9). The higher effective tax rate in the quarter was primarily due to a higher share of nondeductible expenses as well as an increase in the Lithuanian corporate tax rate of 1 percentage point in 2025.

Swedbank mainly conducts business in the product areas of lending, deposits, fund savings and life insurance, and payments.

Lending

Loans to customers decreased by SEK 11bn to SEK 1 789bn (1 800) during the quarter. Compared to the same quarter in 2024, lending fell by SEK 2bn. Foreign exchange effects negatively impacted lending volumes by SEK 20bn compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 and by SEK 21bn compared to the same quarter in 2024.

The Sustainable Asset Register increased by SEK 8bn to SEK 136bn (128) during the quarter. The increase was primarily related to the financing of green buildings. At the end of the quarter, the register contained SEK 128bn in green assets and SEK 8bn in social assets, which are financed by the bank's sustainable bonds. For more information on lending and the sustainable asset register, see pages 37 and 70 of the Factbook.

Deposits

Total deposits increased by SEK 1bn to SEK 1 286bn (1 285) compared to the previous quarter and by SEK 20bn compared to the same period in 2024.

Assets under management

Fund assets under management fell by 9 per cent during the quarter to SEK 1 780bn (1 953). The decline was primarily due to the market downturn and foreign exchange effects. Within Sweden, net outflows also had an impact.

The net inflow in the Swedish fund market amounted to SEK 28bn (70). The largest inflow was to fixed income funds. At the end of the period, there were outflows from equity funds.

Swedbank Robur's funds in Sweden reported a net flow of SEK -12bn (1) during the quarter. Distributions through Swedbank and the savings banks, as well as third-party distributions, resulted in net outflows. There were net outflows in the period within the institutional business as well. In Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, the net inflow amounted to SEK 3bn (3).

By assets under management, Swedbank Robur is the leader in the fund market in Sweden and the Baltic countries. As of 31 March, the market share in Sweden was 21 per cent. In Estonia and Latvia, the market share was 40 per cent, while the market share in Lithuania was 37 per cent.

Assets under management within life insurance in the Swedish operations decreased by 6 per cent in the first quarter to SEK 387bn (412) as of 31 March. Premium income, consisting of premium payments and capital transfers, amounted to SEK 12bn (9).

For premium income, excluding capital transfers, Swedbank's market share in the fourth quarter 2024 (latest available information) was 6 per cent (7 per cent in the third quarter 2024). In the transfer market, Swedbank's market share in the fourth quarter was 12 per cent (12).

Payments

The total number of card transactions acquired by Swedbank during the quarter was 890 million, an increase of 3 per cent compared to the same period in 2024. The total number of transactions acquired in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark increased by 12 million, equivalent to 2 per cent, while total card transactions acquired in the Baltic countries rose by 7 per cent to 168 million.

Acquired transaction volumes in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark totalled SEK 205bn, corresponding to a decrease of 1 per cent compared to the same period in 2024. The comparison was mainly affected by the fact that Easter fell in the first quarter of 2024 as well as lower fuel-related volumes. In the Baltic countries, transaction volumes increased by 6 per cent to SEK 35bn compared to the same quarter in 2024.

The total number of Swedbank cards in issue at the end of the quarter was 8.5 million, in line with the end of the previous quarter.

The number of purchases in Sweden with Swedbank cards increased by 4 per cent during the quarter compared to the same quarter in 2024. A total of 345 million card purchases were made. In the Baltic countries, the number of card purchases rose by 7 per cent in the same period and totalled 249 million during the quarter.

In Sweden, a total of 211 million domestic payments were made during the quarter, an increase of 3 per cent compared to the same period in 2024. Swedbank's market share of payments executed via Bankgirot was 34 per cent. In the Baltic countries, 134 million domestic payments were processed, a rise of 7 per cent compared to the same period in 2024.

The number of international payments in Sweden increased by 3 per cent compared to the same quarter in 2024 to 1.2 million. In the Baltic countries, international payments rose by 17 per cent to 9 million, including transactions between the Baltic countries. The increase was partly driven by cheaper payment options in the bank and lower amounts per payment.

The credit quality of Swedbank's lending is solid and credit impairments are low. Total credit impairment provisions amounted to SEK 6 938m (7 257), of which SEK 715m (720) was post-model adjustments.

For mortgages in Sweden, forborne loans continued to increase but at a slower rate than the previous quarter. Loans with late payments decreased slightly.

The total share of loans in stage 2, gross, amounted to 8.7 per cent (9.1). For loans to private customers, the corresponding share was 6.8 per cent (6.7) and for corporate lending it was 12.8 per cent (14.2). The share of loans in stage 3, gross, was 0.61 per cent (0.65).

For more information on credit exposures, provisions, and credit quality, see Notes 10 and 12-14 as well as pages 40-48 of the Factbook.

Uncertainty pervaded the financial markets during the quarter, mainly due to expectations ahead of proposals under discussion by the U.S. government to impose higher trade tariffs. Despite the turmoil, most financial markets handled this with relative calm, especially the credit bond market, which was barely affected. Yields on bonds denominated in SEK with longer maturities rose, driven by slightly higher inflation in February and expectations that the Riksbank has completed its ratecutting cycle. The Swedish krona strengthened significantly against both the euro and the U.S. dollar.

Swedbank was active in the funding markets. During the quarter, issuance consisted primarily of covered bonds in SEK as well as a green senior non-preferred bond in GBP and a corresponding bond in EUR. In total for the quarter, Swedbank issued SEK 47bn in long-term debt instruments. As of 31 March, Swedbank's outstanding short-term funding in issue amounted to SEK 287bn (266).

The need for financing is affected by the current liquidity situation, future maturities and changes in deposit and lending volumes, and therefore is adjusted over the course of the year. For more information on funding and liquidity, see Notes 16-18 and pages 57–69 of the Factbook.

During the quarter, the bank continued to prioritise activities aimed at strengthening digital operational resilience. Special emphasis was placed on managing cyber risks and external fraud risks, not least in light of the ongoing war in Ukraine. The bank is closely monitoring developments and is prepared to take action.

Organised crime remains a significant risk for society. During the quarter, the implementation of security measures recommended by the Swedish Bankers' Association continued. Swedbank, for example, made improvements to fraud prevention through advanced data analysis, further strengthening the security of the bank's products and digital channels.

Capital ratio and capital requirement The Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio was 19.7 per cent (19.8) at the end of the quarter. The total CET1 capital requirement, including Pillar 2 guidance, was 15.2 per cent (15.2) of the Risk Exposure Amount (REA), which resulted in a CET1 capital buffer of 4.5 per cent (4.6). CET1 capital amounts to SEK 173bn (173) and was mainly affected by the quarterly result and estimated dividend.

Change in Common Equity Tier 1 capital (Refers to Swedbank consolidated situation)

Risk Exposure Amount (REA)

REA increased to SEK 877bn (872) in the first quarter.

REA for credit risks decreased by SEK 22bn, mainly driven by a decrease in the mortgage floor, FX and the implementation of CRR3. The decrease was partly offset by a higher loss given default (LGD) for mortgage loans as part of Swedbank's planned model updates.

REA for operational risk increased by SEK 24bn, where a new calculation method as of 1 January 2025 was implemented according to the Capital Requirements Regulation 3 (CRR3).

REA for Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA) increased by SEK 3bn in December 2024 under CRR3 compared to December 2024 under CRR2, mainly due to a revised calculation method with higher risk weights under CRR3 than under CRR2.

Change in REA

(Refers to Swedbank consolidated situation)

The leverage ratio was 6.6 per cent (6.8) and therefore exceeds the leverage ratio requirement including Pillar 2 guidance of 3.5 per cent.

Capital and resolution regulations

On account of the guidelines from the European Banking Authority and the forthcoming implementation of CRR 3, Swedbank is applying for approval of new internal risk classification (IRB) models. The bank estimates that the review process will continue with approvals being granted in 2025 and 2026.

Swedbank previously decided on an Article 3 add-on corresponding to the bank's estimate of the remaining impact on REA after the introduction of the remaining IRB models. This add-on has been reduced to SEK 5bn in line with the phase-in that has already occurred. The Swedish FSA has also introduced a temporary add-on of 1 percentage point in Pillar 2 (P2R) related to the ongoing review of the models.

The revised Capital Requirements Regulation CRR 3 took effect on 1 January 2025 with a phase-in period through 2032. The revisions include changes to the standardised approaches and internal models used to calculate capital requirements for credit, market and operational risk, as well as an output floor for internal models. The implementation of the market risk requirements has been postponed by one year and they take effect in 2026. The EU Commission is carrying out a market risk consultation that could result in a further delay.

U.S. authorities continue to investigate Swedbank's historical anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing work and historical information disclosures. The investigations, which are being conducted by the Department of Justice (DoJ), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the 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.

On 8 January 2025, it was announced that Jenny Garneij has been appointed as the new Head of HR and Facility Management at Swedbank and thereby becomes a member of the Group Executive Committee. She will replace the current manager, Carina Strand, by the beginning of July 2025 at the latest.

On 22 January 2025, it was announced that Swedbank's Board of Directors has decided to change the dividend policy to shareholders from 50 per cent to 60-70 per cent of the Group's annual net profit.

On 4 February, it was announced that Erik Odhnoff has been appointed Head of Group Credit at Swedbank and will thereby become a member of the Group Executive Committee. He will take up his new position on 1 August, replacing Lars-Erik Danielsson.

On 26 March, the Annual General Meeting decided that there shall be eleven Board members and to re-elect Göran Bengtsson, Annika Creutzer, Hans Eckerström, Kerstin Hermansson, Helena Liljedahl, Anna Mossberg, Per Olof Nyman, Biljana Pehrsson, Göran Persson and Biörn Riese. Rasmus Roos was elected as a new Board member. The Annual General Meeting elected Göran Persson as Chair of the Board of Directors.

The Annual General Meeting also decided in accordance with the Board of Directors' proposal to distribute a dividend of SEK 21.70 per share. The dividend corresponds to 70 per cent of net profit for the financial year 2024 in accordance with the bank's dividend policy.

Swedbank received a decision on 28 March that the Swedish Tax Agency will reimburse SEK 205m in VAT for 2017. This comes after the Swedish Tax Agency approved a new method for calculating deductible VAT following a ruling by the Supreme Administrative Court in 2023.

On 1 April, Olof Sundblad was appointed Head of Baltic Banking. He has served as Acting Head of the business area since October 2024 and will therefore remain a member of the Group Executive Committee.

In early April, the U.S. announced substantially higher trade tariffs on foreign goods imported from a large number of countries, which were subsequently paused for most of the countries in question. The decision created great uncertainty in the financial markets. The volatility in interest rates, share prices and exchange rates has an impact on the bank's results (see the sensitivity analysis in Note G57 of the Annual and Sustainability Report). The quality of the bank's credit

portfolio could be affected if the macroeconomic development deteriorates.

On 10 April, the credit rating agency Moody's raised Swedbank's long-term credit rating to Aa2 from Aa3. The ratings reflect the bank's consistent work to repair and address its past Anti-Money Laundering weaknesses, while prudently managing its capital buffer and asset liability risks.

Furthermore, customers can now book an advisory meeting themselves in the app and the internet bank. Two out of three meetings are phone meetings.

Improvements continued through digitalisation and automation. Customers can now digitally sign promissory notes when transferring their mortgage to Swedbank. Purchasing health insurance and opening an e-savings account for children were digitised. Customers who turn 18 can now upgrade their services themselves digitally in the app.

During the quarter, Swedbank Humanfond donated a record SEK 59m to over 70 charities. In Ung Ekonomi, 28 800 children and young people were taught financial literacy, mainly via school visits.

To support energy transition, Swedbank pay mortgage customers up to SEK 3 000 to decommission their oil burner. In addition, Swedbank improved offerings for customers of Fastighetsbyrån and launched the "Se om ditt hus" campaign.

Profit decreased. Lower net interest and net commission income were partly offset by higher other income. Net interest income fell due to lower lending margins.

Mortgage volume decreased by SEK 4bn, partly explained by transfers of customer between business areas. Corporate lending fell by SEK 1bn. Deposit volumes decreased by SEK 1bn. Household deposits rose by SEK 1bn and corporate deposits fell by SEK 2bn.

Net commission income decreased, driven by lower income from cards and asset management.

Expenses were stable. Seasonally higher staff costs were offset by lower other expenses. Credit impairments amounted to SEK 156m (-6) and were mainly explained by rating and stage migrations as well as changes in other risk factors.

Consumer purchasing power was bolstered by higher wages, rising employment and falling interest rates. Swedbank's mortgage portfolio continued to grow and mortgage applications for new loans increased.

The bank continues to strengthen the savings culture. Micro Invest was launched in all three Baltic countries. With this feature, card payments are rounded up and the difference is invested in Swedbank Robur's funds.

Young people in Lithuania and Latvia can now utilise EasySaver's services, which before was only possible in Estonia. With the consent of a parent, the My Budget tool is also available to young people in all three Baltic countries.

the bank established in Estonia to support initiatives that contribute to growth and economic development in society. Swedbank also became the main sponsor of the Estonian Basketball Association during the quarter.

Profit decreased by 19 per cent in local currency (EUR) primarily due to lower income. Net interest income fell by 10 per cent (EUR) as a result of falling market interest rates.

Lending and deposits (EUR) were stable during the quarter. Consumer lending increased by 2 per cent and corporate lending fell by 1 per cent.

During the quarter, business activity and loan demand were high in the real estate sector, where volumes increased. Demand in other sectors was subdued. Deposit volumes rose on a seasonal basis, driven by institutional clients and by higher short-term deposits in foreign currency, mainly from international funds.

Volatility and reallocations from U.S. to European assets increased currency trading, while importers purchased currency hedges when the Swedish krona strengthened.

Uncertainty surrounding interest rates, and the economy tempered interest-rate hedging among the bank's clients. Meanwhile, the Swedish bond and credit markets showed resilience as interest remained high, driven by fund inflows.

During the quarter, Swedbank announced a partnership with SpareBank1 to create a Nordic investment bank, SB1 Markets. The bank's combined resources and distribution capacity will strengthen the ability to serve the need of corporate clients.

During 2025, Swedbank is proud to celebrate 20 years in Finland and 25 years in Norway. Our operations in Helsinki and Oslo are well-positioned for further growth together with our Nordic corporate and institutional clients, in collaboration with our partners.

Net interest income decreased during the quarter due to slightly lower deposit margins as well as two fewer interest days.

Net commission income increased. Advisory commissions related to bond issuance and M&A activity rose, while card commissions fell on a seasonal basis.

Net gains and losses on financial items decreased mainly driven by revaluation effects. Transaction-driven net gains and losses on financial items were slightly higher, however.

Expenses rose due to annual salary increases.

Credit impairments amounted to SEK -233m (-265) and were mainly explained by changes in exposures, partly offset by higher provisions for individually assessed loans.

During the quarter, Premium and Private Banking continued to build long-term personal relationships and deliver high-quality advisory services to both private and corporate customers. Concepts continue to grow in popularity, particularly in the corporate business.

Stock market volatility increased customer demand for advice on portfolio rebalancing. Despite the uncertainty, discretionary asset management and advisory services continued to attract new customers, while existing customers increased their level of invested capital through management services. The brokerage service Börsgruppen within Private Banking also saw an inflow of new customers and capital.

Volumes grew strongly during the quarter for both collective and individual occupational pensions. Ongoing advice for individuals and businesses plays a key role in helping customers make informed decisions about their pensions.

Premium and Private Banking delivered a positive net flow in mortgages despite tough competition in the

market. Customer transfers between business areas contributed positively.

The "Book a Meeting" feature in the internet bank and the app was improved to further increase availability and simplify access to the Premium concept. Now it is even easier to schedule a time with a Premium advisor for an introductory meeting or advice on savings and investments. This initiative supports the goal to conveniently offer personal advice to more customers.

Profit weakened during the quarter due to lower income.

Net interest income from lending was impacted by lower margins, while volume growth was positive. Net interest income on deposits improved due to higher margins, while volumes decreased slightly. Net commission income weakened due to the stock market volatility, resulting in lower business volumes.

Expenses remained at a stable level. Credit impairments amounted to SEK -6m (-20).

During the quarter, profit increased to SEK 415m (-407).

Net interest income increased by SEK 144m, primarily driven by falling interest rates, leading to lower compensation from Group Treasury on deposits from the business areas as well as lower funding costs.

Net gains and losses on financial items within Group Treasury fell by SEK 321m. The change between quarters was mainly related to unrealised revaluation effects of derivatives due to falling market interest rates and a stronger Swedish krona.

Expenses decreased on a seasonal basis, primarily driven by lower IT and consulting expenses.

For the period January – March 2025 a loss after tax of SEK -411m (969) was recognised in other comprehensive income, relating to remeasurements of defined benefit pension plans. As per 31 March 2025 the discount rate used to calculate the closing pension obligation was 4.09 per cent, compared with 3.86 per cent per 31 December 2024. The inflation assumption was 1.72 per cent compared with 1.72 per cent per 31 December 2024. The fair value of plan assets decreased during 2025 by SEK 1 135m. In total, at 31 March 2025 the fair value of plan assets exceeded the obligation for funded defined benefit pension plans by SEK 3 200m, therefore the funded plans are presented as an asset.

For January – March 2025 an exchange rate difference of SEK -4 297m (2 505) was recognised for the Group's foreign net investments in subsidiaries. The loss related to subsidiaries mainly arose because the Swedish krona strengthened against the euro during the period. In addition, an exchange rate difference of SEK -16m (12) 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 loss of SEK -4 313m is not taxable. Most of the Group's foreign net investments are hedged against currency risk resulting in a loss after tax of SEK 2 874m (-1 627) for the hedging instruments.

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 Corporate 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 Corporate Reporting Board.

The accounting policies applied in the interim report conform to those applied in the Annual and Sustainability Report for 2024, which was prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting

Standards (IFRS accounting standards) as adopted by the European Union and interpretations thereof.

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

Amended regulations that are applicable from 1 January 2025 did not have a significant impact on the Group's financial position, results, cash flows or disclosures.

Presentation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the executive management to make judgments and estimates that affect the recognised amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the reporting date as well as the recognised income and expenses during the reporting 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, provisions and contingent liabilities, defined

benefit pension provisions, insurance contracts and deferred taxes.

Post-model expert credit adjustments to the credit impairment provisions continue to be necessary, given the geopolitical and economic uncertainties. Further information is provided in Note 10.

Beyond this, there have been no significant changes to the basis upon which the critical accounting judgments and estimates have been determined compared with 31 December 2024.

No significant changes to the Group structure occurred during the first quarter 2025.

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 quarter of 2025, no organizational changes between Swedbank's operating segments were made.

Calculation of credit impairment provisions

The measurement of expected credit losses is described in Note G3 section 3.1 Credit risk on pages 244-249 of the 2024 Annual and Sustainability Report.

Measurement of 12-month and lifetime expected credit losses

Geopolitical tensions, supply chain disruptions and potential trade wars increase the uncertainty regarding the impact on credit risk. The quantitative risk models do not currently reflect all potential deteriorations in credit quality. Therefore, post-model expert credit adjustments have been made to capture potential future rating and stage migrations.

Post-model expert credit adjustments amounted to SEK 715m (SEK 720m at 31 December 2024) and are allocated as SEK 400m in stage 1 and SEK 315m in stage 2 (SEK 336m in stage 1, SEK 383m in stage 2 at 31 December 2024). Customers and industries are reviewed and analysed considering the current situation, particularly in more vulnerable sectors. During the first quarter, euro denominated post-model expert credit adjustments decreased due to the strengthened Swedish krona. The most significant post-model adjustments at 31 March 2025 were in the Property management, Manufacturing and Agriculture, forestry, fishing sectors.

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 risk grades 0 to 5, a downgrade by 1 grade from initial recognition is assessed as a significant change in credit risk. Alternatively, for exposures originated with risk grades 18 to 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 2024 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 risk grades 0 to 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 risk grades 18 to 21, an increase of 200-300 per cent from initial recognition is considered significant except for Swedish mortgages where an absolute 12-month PD threshold is also applied.

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.

The global economy is expected to remain divergent in terms of activity. While the US economy is booming, economic headwinds in the euro area, not least in France and Germany, seem to be stubborn. In China, despite various stimulus measures, consumer confidence remains subdued, and the economic outlook appears weak.

Economic growth in the United States has been supported by expansionary financial conditions as the Federal Reserve's tightening has been offset by strong stock market performance and narrowing credit spreads. However, these conditions could change quickly. A stock market correction has begun and, together with weaker economic performance, could pave the way for the Fed to make more rate cuts than currently expected.

The Swedish economy is still weak but with some positive outcomes in the final quarter of 2024. We expect positive GDP growth to continue and that the economic recovery will begin this summer. Significantly higher real disposable income growth for households will support the recovery in domestic demand. Labour market conditions will start gradually improving in the second half of 2025.

The Baltic economies have been on diverging paths in recent years. Lithuanian GDP growth has accelerated, while the performance of the Latvian and Estonian economies has been weaker. Growth is expected to pick up as falling interest rates, high employment rates and increasing real wages will support household purchasing power and consumption. Increased defence spending will also contribute to growth, but it is still very uncertain how large share of the increase will be funded by tax hikes that will dampen household consumption.

Sensitivity

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

Swedish risk tax on credit institutions is levied at 0.06 percent of the credit institution's total adjusted debt at the beginning of the financial year.

The Lithuanian solidarity contribution tax is temporary from May 2023 until year end 2025. The tax rate is 60 per cent and is applied to the part of the adjusted net interest income earned during the period which exceeds the average net interest income for the years 2019-2022 by more than 50 per cent.

The Latvian mortgage levy that applied in 2024 has been replaced in 2025 with a solidarity contribution tax. The tax rate is 60 per cent and is applied to the part of the adjusted net interest income earned during the period which exceeds the average net interest income for the years 2018-2022 by more than 50 per cent.

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 2024, note G47 Fair value of financial instruments.

The financial instruments are distributed in three levels depending on the degree of observable market data in the valuation and activity in the market.

  • 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 mainly comprises 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. The carrying amount of the holdings in Visa Inc. C amounted as per 31 March 2025 to SEK 356m (SEK 344m 31 December 2024).

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. Remaining unit holdings, only correlated to the Russia funds, and related liabilities to the insurance savers have been measured at fair value according to level 3 and been measured at value SEK 0m.

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. Investigations by the Department of Justice (DoJ), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Department of Financial Services (DFS) in New York are ongoing.

The timing of the completion of the investigations is still unknown and the outcomes are still uncertain. It is

therefore not possible to reliably estimate the amount of any potential settlement or fines, which could be material.

On 20 December 2024, the Swedish Pensions Agency filed a SEK 2 790m lawsuit against Swedbank in the Stockholm District Court for Swedbank's role as a custodian of the Optimus High Yield fund during the period 2012–2015. Swedbank contests the Swedish Pensions Agency's claim and has not allocated any provisions for the Swedish Pensions Agency's suit.

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.

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 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. This methodology serves as a basis of proactive risk and capital management.

As of 31 March 2025, the internal capital assessment for Swedbank's consolidated situation amounted to SEK 62.8bn (SEK 65.5bn as of 31 December 2024). 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.

In addition to what is stated in this interim report, risk management and capital adequacy according to the Basel III framework are described in more detail in Swedbank's Annual and Sustainability Report 2024 as well as in Swedbank's yearly Risk Management and Capital Adequacy Report, available on http://www.swedbank.com.

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.

Geopolitical situation

The geopolitical situation remains uncertain due to continued unrest in the Middle East, the ongoing Russian aggression against Ukraine, and increasingly protectionist trade policies that may heighten financial risks. Swedbank has low to negligible direct exposures to the counterparts at war and is well positioned to manage the indirect risks that may arise from the heightened geopolitical uncertainty. Trade restrictions such as tariffs and other trade barriers have significant direct and indirect effects on the economies of our home markets, and consequently also on Swedbank's borrowers.

Economic outlook

Economic growth in the Nordic and Baltic regions is showing signs of recovery, although shifts in global trade policy and various geopolitical tensions increases the downside risks.

Interest rate trends and monetary policy

Global inflation is decreasing, and several central banks, including the Riksbank and the European Central Bank (ECB) have begun lowering interest rates.

Challenges and risk in digitalisation

During the first quarter of 2025, Swedbank has continued to prioritise activities aimed at enhancing digital operational resilience, with specific focus on addressing cyber risks and external fraud risks. Prioritised activities for addressing cyber risks and external fraud risks are of great significance, especially considering the ongoing war in Ukraine and the global macroeconomic development. Swedbank is closely monitoring these risks and possesses a strong ability to manage them.

The risk of fraud posed by organised crime continues to pose a significant risk to the society. During the first quarter, the implementation of the security measures recommended by the Finance Sweden has continued. For instance, has Swedbank improved its monitoring of fraud attempts through advanced data analytics, which further strengthens the security of the bank's products and digital channels.

Anti-money laundering and Counter terrorist financing

For risks related to the ongoing investigations of authorities in US related to historic anti-money laundering compliance and response related to antimoney laundering controls, please refer to Note 22 Assets pledged, contingent liabilities and commitments.

Tax

The tax area is complex and there can be a scope for different interpretations. 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 2024 Annual and Sustainability report and in the disclosures in the Risk Management and Capital Adequacy reports available at www.swedbank.com.

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 interest margin
Calculated as Net interest income in relation to average total assets
excluding trading related 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.
Expresses the difference, the margin,
between the percentage return on
non-trading interest-bearing assets
and the costs of financing.
The key ratio replaces the previously reported key ratio net investment
margin before trading interest is deducted. The previous key ratio included
interest from trading-related assets, which is reported within Net gains and
losses on financial items in the income statement. Net interest margin is
considered a more relevant ratio going forward as it only reflects interest
that is reported within Net interest income in the income statement.
Allocated equity
Allocated equity is the operating segment's equity measure and is not
directly 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.
Used by Group Management for
internal governance and operating
segment performance management
purposes.
Return on allocated equity
Calculated based on profit for the period (annualised) attributable to the
shareholders for the operating segment, in relation to average allocated
equity for the operating segment. The average is calculated using month-end
figures1, including the prior year end. The allocated equity amounts per
operating segment are reconciled to the Group Total equity, the nearest IFRS
measure, in Note 4.
Used by Group Management for
internal governance and operating
segment performance management
purposes.
Other alternative performance measures
These measures are defined in the Factbook on page 77 and are calculated
from the financial statements without adjustment.

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Swedbank AB (publ) as of 31 March 2025 and the three-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.
