The uncertain macroeconomic environment remains, driven by additional rate hikes and high inflation, and has thus characterized the last quarter of the year. We are humble with regards to the future development. At the same time we can conclude that we have performed yet another strong quarter. Rate hikes continue to have positive effects on net interest income, as seen in the solid income development. The loan book has decreased slightly during the quarter driven by our continued selective approach given the current macroeconomic situation. Demand remains high within both the Real Estate and Corporate segments. The Real Estate loan book has seen a marginal increase whereas the Corporate loan book has decreased slightly during the last quarter of the year. Selectivity coupled with a number of amortizations has driven the development for the two segments. Volumes within the Consumer segment continue to decline following our focus on prioritizing profitability over volume growth. The Payments segment continues to develop well as we maintain transaction volumes on good levels in relation to the e-commerce market as a whole. We have previously communicated that we expect a slightly higher cost base going forward, driven by investments in the organization. As a consequence, we see that the investments have resulted in a certain cost increase during the fourth quarter. The C/I ratio amounted to 24.9% during the quarter and it thus remains on a good level. We have chosen to remain conservative with regards to our credit loss provisioning this quarter as well. The credit loss level amounted to 2.5% during the quarter and our provisioning levels hence continue to increase. Return on equity amounted to 20.8% during the quarter. Consequently we maintain good profitability.
The Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority ("SFSA") initiated an open investigation on 29 January 2020, regarding credit assessment processes for consumer credits, including Collector Bank and a number of other players on the Swedish consumer lending market. The investigation was based on credit applications made during a period in 2019. In February 2022, the SFSA sent, as part of the investigation, a reconciliation letter and we have had a dialogue with the SFSA during the full process. In the end of October 2022, the SFSA decided to dismiss the case without further action. In the decision the SFSA stated that the bank to a high extent has taken measures to correct the historical shortcomings.
We welcome that the SFSA reviews credit assessment processes for consumer credits in Sweden to ensure that the industry carries out sound lending processes and we are pleased that the SFSA decided to dismiss the case without further action. The decision is proof that the continuous work of improving our credit assessment has yielded results. Sound and sustainable lending is, and will remain, of great importance for us at Collector Bank.
We continue to show good results in our employee survey. In fact, I am delighted to share that the company shows an all-time high yet another year. Our colleagues highlight that Collector Bank is a workplace characterized by respect, involvement, job satisfaction and commitment. The survey also proves good cooperation between managers and colleagues as well as high trust in the senior management. Committed and involved employees lay the foundation for a company's success. I am very proud of the journey we have made together over the last couple of years, and I look forward to continue to lead and develop the company further together with my colleagues.

"Continued stable results development"
The intra-group merger between Collector Bank AB and Collector AB was completed on 15 August 2022. On the same day Collector Bank AB became the listed parent company and Collector AB was dissolved. The interim report for the period January-September 2022 and the year-end report for the period January-December 2022, published by the Collector Bank Group, present the financials for the new Group structure. The historical financials for the Collector Bank Group essentially correspond to the financials for the Collector AB Group. Certain minor deviations do occur and mainly relate to intra-group assets and liabilities, divestment of subsidiaries and costs in the parent company Collector AB. Quarterly historical information for the Collector Bank Group since the first quarter of 2020 is available on Collector Bank's website collector.se/en/about-collector/investors/ financial-information/.
The merger was carried out with the purpose of further simplifying the corporate structure, achieving a more efficient use of internal resources and optimizing the capital position as the bank's capital instruments are fully included in consolidated own funds. The operations of the Group remain unchanged, which also means that the daily operations, from a customer perspective, remain unchanged.
Total income amounted to SEK 928 million (705) corresponding to an increase of 32% compared to last year. Net interest income increased by 35% compared to the previous year and amounted to SEK 839 million (623). Higher market rates have had a positive impact on interest income. Funding costs have also increased following higher policy rates and are expected to continue to increase going forward. In summary, Collector Bank has, during the fourth quarter, benefitted from an underlying positive interest rate sensitivity due to increased market interest rates. Additionally, total income was positively impacted by some SEK 30 million for exposures that previously were included in Stage 3. The impact is isolated to the fourth quarter as the income would have been recorded on an ongoing basis during the year. The net interest margin amounted to 8.1% (6.9). Net commission income decreased by 5% compared to last year and amounted to SEK 73 million (77). Net gains and losses on financial items amounted to SEK 6 million (4). Other income amounted to SEK 10 million (1). The business has developed positively compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 with the Corporate and Real Estate segments having contributed strongly.
Total income amounted to SEK 3,212 million (2,637) during January-December 2022, corresponding to an increase of 22% compared to last year. Net interest income amounted to SEK 2,899 million (2,323) during the period January-December 2022. The net interest margin amounted to 7.5% (6.8) during the period January-December 2022.
Net commission income amounted to SEK 299 million (293) during January-December 2022, corresponding to an increase of 2% compared to last year. Net gains and losses on financial items amounted to SEK -24 million (18) and includes positive revaluations of the investment in the credit fund Cordet of c. SEK 27 million and negative effects of c. SEK 51 million due to market volatility. Other income amounted to SEK 39 million (3).
Total expenses amounted to SEK 832 million (790) during the period January-December 2022, of which SEK 231 million (198) pertain to the fourth quarter. The C/I ratio for the period January-December 2022 amounted to 25.9% (30.0) and to 24.9% (28.1) in the fourth quarter of 2022. Collector Bank hence continues to prove solid cost control and scalability in the business model.

The credit loss level for the period January-December 2022 amounted to 2.4% (2.6) and to 2.5% (2.3) in the fourth quarter of 2022. Credit losses during the second quarter of 2022 include a write-down of purchased debt portfolios of SEK 51 million. The credit loss level for the underlying banking operations is presented on page 9.
Operating profit amounted to SEK 1,442 million (963) during January-December 2022 and to SEK 437 million (304) in the fourth quarter of 2022. Net profit amounted to SEK 1,141 million (753) during January-December 2022 and to SEK 346 million (234) in the fourth quarter of 2022. Earnings per share amounted to SEK 5.34 (3.47) during January-December 2022 and to SEK 1.62 (1.09) in the fourth quarter of 2022.

As of 31 December 2022, cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 3,050 million (5,228). Collector Bank's excess liquidity is invested in Swedish municipal bonds, covered bonds, government issued securities and deposit accounts primarily with Nordic banks. At the end of the period, the Group's financial investments amounted to SEK 3,770 million (2,225).
Deposits and borrowings from the public amounted to approximately 76% (71) of Collector Bank's balance sheet, which by the end of the period amounted to SEK 36,842 million (31,351). This is the primary source of funding for the Group. Senior unsecured bonds issued amounted to SEK 3,287 million (2,865). Commercial papers issued amounted to SEK 50 million (2,364).
Collector 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 Collector Bank AB has been performed, and Collector Bank has been allowed to include net profit in the Common Equity Tier 1 capital. Collector Bank has previously issued one hybrid capital instrument consisting of an Additional Tier 1 bond of SEK 500 million. During the second quarter of 2022, Collector Bank received permission by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority to use its right to early redemption of the Tier 2 bond of SEK 500 million that was issued in 2017. As a consequence, the total capital ratio decreased during the second quarter. Over time, Collector 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 45,244 SEK million (39,011). As of 31 December 2022, the CET1 ratio amounted to 14.3% (13.9), the Tier 1 ratio to 15.4% (15.1) and the total capital ratio to 15.4% (16.4).
At the end of February 2022, Russia invaded several regions of Ukraine. The war in Ukraine creates a risk of further significant volatility in both global and local markets. The conflict has led to a deterioration in the overall security situation, including in Europe. It is currently uncertain what impact the war in Ukraine will have over the longer term on the global economy and the financial markets, but the war could have negative consequences for Collector Bank's business, financial position and result. As of today, Collector Bank does not have any significant direct or indirect exposures to these countries.
Central Banks all around the world have carried out policy rate increases at a pace never seen before. The policy rate increases have however not managed to curb inflation which remains at a high level, in which energy prices play a large role. The market expects additional rate hikes in order to reduce the inflation rate and macroeconomic forecasts have as a consequence been revised down.

The loan portfolio of the Corporate segment amounted to SEK 10,570 million (7,981), corresponding to an increase of 32% over the previous year and a decrease of 2% over the previous quarter. The Corporate segment accounted for 25% (22) of Collector Bank's loan portfolio by the end of the quarter.

Transaction activity was high during the year in total but slowed down during the fourth quarter. Sweden continues to record the highest level of transactions. The income development was solid during the quarter. On the back of the uncertain macroeconomic backdrop Collector Bank has applied a more selective approach with regards to completed transactions. In combination with amortizations it has nevertheless impacted the loan book growth during the quarter. The loan book for factoring was seasonally strong driven by both existing and new clients. Collector Bank has an attractive position within the Corporate segment which is one of the company's focus areas going forward.

Collector Bank offers corporate loans and factoring solutions with particular focus on small and medium-sized enterprises in Sweden, Norway and Finland in a wide range of industries.

Turbulence in the market at large, and the real estate sector in particular, has continued to color the Real Estate segment. Demand nonetheless remained high, driven by i.a. lower activity on the bond market. However, on the back of the macroeconomic developments and declining market sentiment Collector Bank has applied a more selective approach with regards to completed transaction. In combination with amortizations it has nevertheless impacted the loan book growth during the quarter. Going forward it is the bank's foremost task to withhold a good balance between serving existing clients and new business opportunities with attractive risk-adjusted returns. The majority of the Real estate portfolio still constitutes senior loans which amounted to 63% (70) by the end of the quarter.

Transaction volumes amounted to SEK 13,642 million (13,948) during the period January-December 2022, which corresponds to a decrease of 2% compared to the corresponding period previous year. Slightly lower volumes have been widely expected as the e-commerce market at large recorded negative growth during the year. The Payments segment has exhibited comparatively strong development as both new and existing clients showed relatively stronger performance compared to the market. The lower volume growth rate can be explained on the back of normalizing e-commerce volumes post pandemic restrictions and slowing consumption following rising household costs.

A review has been carried out of the earnings for January - December 2022, 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.
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 unlisted companies and funds. Collector 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.
