A challenging new environment

The heightened level of global uncertainty prevailed in the second quarter, driven by Russia's war in Ukraine, the energy crisis and continued supply-chain disruptions. A continuously increasing global inflationary pressure and higher interest rates also contributed. As a result of the higher inflation, central banks around the world have initiated further near-term tightening of monetary policies than previously expected. However, financial markets have recently started to price in interest rate cuts as early as the first half of 2023, indicating an increased concern of a recession in Europe and the US.

In Sweden, declining equity markets and an expected hampering effect on the housing market from higher interest rates risk an erosion of household savings. However, public finances remain robust, with public debt as a share of GDP amounting to 35 per cent compared with 100 per cent for the Euro area. Combined with Sweden's relatively strong supply of key commodities such as forestry, iron ore and steel, as well as a well-developing green technology sector, this provides favourable conditions for future long-term economic growth.

As we now move from an era where the cost of money – i.e. interest rates – has been falling and practically been priced at "zero", we should all brace for the short-term impact of higher interest rates. While gradually adapting to this changing operating environment, a new long-term equilibrium needs to be established for most asset classes. In addition, while the recovery of the global economy is dependent on factors such as the effectiveness of policy responses, central banks will have to find a balance between disinflationary policies and risk of a recession.

SEB's role in these challenging times is to stand by our customers for the long-term, meanwhile adapting our business to this new environment. In our ambition to meet our customers' evolving needs, we continue to execute on our 2030 Strategy.

The strengths of a diversified business model

Once again, we find ourselves in an environment where our longterm relationships and diversified business model prove to be a strength. This has also been the case throughout our history – not least in turbulent times, when our long-term perspectives and broad range of financial products and services have enabled us to support our customers and strengthen our business.

Looking at this quarter, we saw a positive contribution from higher interest rates and currency effects, increased demand from corporate customers for credit and risk management, and resumed travelling and consumption. This compensated for the negative effects from lower asset values and slower capital markets activity. Within our Fixed Income, Currencies and Commodities (FICC) business, a strong performance within foreign exchange and commodities offset the more challenging fixed income environment. Hence, our diversified business model is reflected in several different areas. In summary, operating income for the second quarter amounted to SEK 14.4bn, which was a decrease of only 2 per cent quarter-onquarter. Operating expenses increased to SEK 6.2bn and our cost guidance for 2022 remains unchanged. Return on equity reached 12.3 per cent.

The underlying asset quality remained robust. Net expected credit losses amounted to 6 basis points due to less favourable macroeconomic scenarios. Uncertainty related to higher energy prices, supply chain issues and inflation led to new portfolio overlays while the Covid-19-related ones were released. Given

our macroeconomic outlook, we continue to believe we are well reserved, and therefore net expected credit losses are likely to remain at a low level for the full year. However, if economic growth continues to weaken or if there is a recession, we expect negative credit risk migration.

Our capital and liquidity position remains strong. With a capital buffer of 480 basis points, we believe we are well positioned to support our customers. SEB continued with its second share buyback programme according to plan.

Partnerships to improve the customer experience

As part of our 2030 Strategy, we leverage partnerships and collaboration to accelerate innovation, explore new technologies and enhance our customer offering. By doing so, we strive to rethink how we produce and distribute our products and services, also allowing us to strengthen our capabilities and increase efficiency.

During the quarter we entered into a strategic partnership with the insurance technology company Insurely, to explore the possibilities of further digitalising our insurance offering. In addition, we have entered into a strategic cooperation with fintech company Leneo. Building on its platform and technology, we strive to support our industrial corporate customers in their transition to circular and sustainable business models, through an enhanced Asset-as-a-Service offering. This in turn expands our As-a-Service capabilities, further complementing our Banking-as-a-Service offering provided through SEBx.

Accelerating the energy transition

The war in Ukraine has disrupted global energy markets, and increased focus on how this will impact the climate. The shortterm consequences of the current energy crisis are likely to be negative, exemplified by an increase in carbon intensity, whereas the long-term effects are likely to be positive. As dependence on Russian energy supplies becomes less tolerable and the price of fossil fuel remains elevated, the transition to renewable energy sources is expected to accelerate. As an example, annual public and private transition-related investments, including investments focused on renewable energy, are expected to reach USD 1,000bn globally next year and double twice before 2030, according to SEB estimates. As part of our ambition to support this transition, our venture capital unit for investments in green technology – SEB Greentech VC – recently invested in Metry, providing a platform for sustainability data. This startup supports real estate companies with a holistic view of their energy consumption, enabling them to enhance their energy efficiency.

In good times and bad

As the environment in which we are operating changes, many of our customers are facing a more challenging situation. We strive to take a long-term perspective and to support them in both good times and bad. This includes private individuals, corporates and financial institutions. That is how we can continue creating

value for all our stakeholders, and positively shape the future, today and for generations to come.

Restated comparative figures

On 28 March 2022, SEB published a press release with restated financial information. The changes, that do not affect the group's net profit or capital ratios, are fully reflected throughout this report. See page 46-47 for more information and reconciliation to previously published financial information.

Second quarter

Operating profit decreased by 7 per cent compared with the first quarter to SEK 7,285m (7,857). Year-on-year operating profit decreased by 8 per cent. Net profit amounted to SEK 5,842m (6,403).

Operating income

Total operating income decreased by SEK 327m compared with the first quarter and amounted to SEK 14,441m (14,768). Compared with the second quarter 2021, total operating income increased by 4 per cent.

Net interest income amounted to SEK 7,742m, which represented an increase of 10 per cent compared with the first quarter (7,062) and an increase of 20 per cent year-onyear.

Customer-driven NII 7 001 6 730 6 594
NII from other activities 740 332 -126
Total 7 742 7 062 6 468

Customer-driven net interest income increased by SEK 272m compared with the first quarter. There was a positive effect from deposit volumes and margins combined following the first of two hikes of the Swedish policy rate since the end of the first quarter. Lower lending margins were partly offset by higher lending volumes. The deposit guarantee fees amounted to SEK 101m (101).

Net interest income from other activities increased by SEK 408m compared with the first quarter. The increase relates to Treasury and FICC (Fixed Income, Currencies and Commodities) activities and is mostly due to interest rate and foreign exchange market movements.

Net fee and commission income increased by 2 per cent in the second quarter to SEK 5,498m (5,398). Compared with the second quarter 2021 net fee and commission income increased by 4 per cent.

Given the recent macroeconomic development with a heightened level of global uncertainty, global inflation and higher interest rates customer caution continued. Capital market-related activity slowed further from the already slower first quarter even though mergers and acquisitions activity was resilient. Gross fee income from issuance of securities and advisory services decreased by SEK 12m to SEK 410m. Event-driven financing, however, increased and gross lending fees increased by SEK 190m to SEK 994m.

The high volatility in the financial markets in the first quarter decreased somewhat and gross secondary market and derivatives income decreased by 3 per cent in the second quarter to SEK 544m.

With declining asset values, the gross fee income from custody and mutual funds, excluding performance fees, decreased by SEK 206m to SEK 2,392m compared with the first quarter. Performance fees amounted to SEK 133m (164).

Net payment and card fees increased by SEK 208m to SEK 1,177m. Travel and consumption activity returned and Nordic, especially Swedish, turnover in both corporate and private cards were above the 2019 level.

The net life insurance commissions related to the unitlinked insurance business, where average asset values were lower in the second quarter, amounted to SEK 230m (276).

Net financial income decreased by SEK 1,180m to SEK 1,154m compared with the first quarter. Year-on-year, net financial income decreased by SEK 902m.

Customer demand for risk management services led to a strong performance within foreign exchange and commodities which was offset by the more challenging fixed income area.

There was a significant negative revaluation effect on interest rate and foreign exchange swaps from treasury activities.

The fair value credit adjustment1) amounted to SEK -76m as credit spreads widened, a decrease of SEK 324m compared with the first quarter.

The market value change of certain strategic holdings amounted to SEK -155m in the second quarter, a negative change of SEK 18m compared to the first quarter.

The first quarter gain of SEK 262m from the finalised sale of shares in the Swedish fintech company Tink also affects the comparison between quarters.

Net financial income from the Life division was fairly stable at SEK 160m (159).

Net other income amounted to SEK 47m (-25). Unrealised valuation and hedge accounting effects are included in this line item.

Operating expenses

Total operating expenses amounted to SEK 6,201m (5,793). Total operating expenses increased by 7 per cent from the first quarter and increased by 8 per cent year-on-year.

Staff costs increased by 7 per cent. The number of fulltime equivalents increased to 16,277 (16,066). After the annual review process, salaries increased, and social charges relating to the variable remuneration programmes were higher. The increase in other expenses was related to IT investments, consulting costs and business travel. Supervisory fees amounted to SEK 51m (38).

Costs developed broadly according to the business plan for 2022-2024. The cost target for 2022 is outlined on page 13.

1 Unrealised valuation change from counterparty risk (CVA) and own credit risk standing in derivatives (DVA). Own credit risk for issued securities (OCA) is reflected in Other comprehensive income.

Net expected credit losses

Net expected credit losses amounted to SEK 399m (535), corresponding to a net expected credit loss level of 6 basis points (8). The net expected credit losses of SEK 399m consisted of increased provisions on a few specific counterparties and effects from less favourable macroeconomic scenarios, while the overall amount of portfolio model overlays was unchanged. The underlying asset quality of the credit portfolio continued to be robust.

For more information on credit risk, asset quality, net expected credit losses and the portfolio model overlays, see further page 10 and notes 10-12.

Imposed levies: Risk tax and resolution fees

Imposed levies amounted to SEK 556m (582). A risk tax on credit institutions was introduced in Sweden as of 1 January 2022. It is applied on credit institutions with a liabilities tax base exceeding SEK 150bn. The tax rate is 0.05 per cent of the tax base for 2022 and 0.06 per cent for 2023. The risk tax for the second quarter amounted to SEK 296m (296). The resolution fees decreased to SEK 260m (287), reflecting an adjustment between accrued and actual cost.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense decreased to SEK 1,443m (1,454) with an effective tax rate of 19.8 per cent (18.5). The increased effective tax rate is mainly explained by a lower result for investments in shares held for business purposes which are exempt from income tax.

Return on equity

Return on equity for the second quarter decreased to 12.3 per cent (13.4).

Other comprehensive income

Other comprehensive income amounted to SEK 1,481m (1,070).

Despite the financial markets decline, the value of SEB's pension plan assets continued to exceed the defined benefit 0obligations to the employees and the change in net value of the defined benefit pension plans affected other comprehensive income by SEK 226m (840). The defined benefit pension obligations decreased when the Swedish discount rate changed from 2.45 to 3.80 per cent in the second quarter. The inflation assumption was changed from 1.5 to 2 per cent.

The net effect from the valuation of balance sheet items that may subsequently be reclassified to the income statement, i.e. cash flow hedges and translation of foreign operations amounted to SEK 1,235m (196). The Swedish krona depreciated versus the Euro and the US dollar.

The first six months

Operating profit decreased by 2 per cent to SEK 15,142m compared with the first six months 2021 (15,391). Net profit amounted to SEK 12,244m (12,591).

Operating income

Total operating income increased by SEK 1,670m compared with the first six months 2021 and amounted to SEK 29,209m (27,539).

Net interest income amounted to SEK 14,804m, which represented an increase of 16 per cent compared with the first six months 2021 (12,768).

Total 14 804 12 768 16

Customer-driven net interest income increased by SEK 426m year-on-year. Lending volumes, mainly bridge financing, contributed strongly. To some extent lending margins contributed to the increase. There was a negative effect from deposit volumes and margins combined. The deposit guarantee fees amounted to SEK 202m (175).

Net interest income from other activities (including for instance funding and other treasury activities and trading) improved by SEK 1,610m year-on-year. The majority of the increase derives from internal funds transfer pricing.

Net fee and commission income increased by 8 per cent compared to the first six months of 2021 to SEK 10,895m (10,055).

Event-driven capital market-related activity slowed markedly compared with the first six months 2021. Corporate customers preferred traditional bank financing over issuing own securities. Gross fee income from issuance of securities and advisory services decreased by SEK 103m to SEK 832m. Gross lending fees, on the other hand, mainly event-related, increased by SEK 358m to SEK 1,798m.

Net payment and card fees increased by SEK 532m to SEK 2,146m. Post-Covid payments activity and card usage recovered from last year.

Higher activity in the financial markets year-on-year resulted in an increase of secondary market and derivatives income of 7 per cent in the first six months to SEK 1,105m.

The gross fee income from custody and mutual funds, excluding performance fees, increased by SEK 584m to SEK 4,990m compared with the first six months 2021. Performance fees decreased to SEK 297m (334).

The net life insurance commissions related to the unitlinked insurance business, where average asset values were lower year-on-year, amounted to SEK 506m (581).

Net financial income decreased by SEK 1,111m to SEK 3,488m compared with the first six months 2021.

The fair value credit adjustment1) amounted to SEK 173m as credit spreads widened, a decrease of SEK 92m compared with the first six months 2021.

The market value change of certain strategic holdings amounted to SEK -291m for the six-month period, a negative change of SEK -619m year-on-year.

The second quarter 2021 a valuation gain from the sale of Tink of SEK 514m was reported. Due to the realised gain of SEK 262m from the sale in the first quarter 2022, the effect was that net financial income from Tink was SEK 252m lower in comparison with last year.

Both the result from trading activities and valuations in the Large Corporate & Financial Institutions division were significantly lower year-on-year and net financial income from the Life division decreased by SEK 179m to SEK 320m.

Net other income amounted to SEK 22m (117). Unrealised valuation and hedge accounting effects are included in this line item.

Operating expenses

Total operating expenses amounted to SEK 11,995m (11,477), representing an increase of 5 per cent.

Staff costs increased by 1 per cent. The increase in other expenses was related to IT investments, consulting costs and increased travel. Supervisory fees amounted to SEK 88m (92).

Net expected credit losses

Net expected credit losses increased to SEK 933m (163), corresponding to a net expected credit loss level of 7 basis points (1), due to increased provisions on a few specific counterparties, effects from less favourable macroeconomic scenarios and a net increase in portfolio model overlays.

For more information on credit risk, asset quality, net expected credit losses and the portfolio model overlays, see further page 10 and notes 10-12.

Imposed levies: Risk tax and resolution fees

Imposed levies amounted to SEK 1,138m (509). The risk tax amounted to SEK 591m. The resolution fees rose to SEK 547m (509).

Income tax expense

Income tax expense increased to SEK 2,898m (2,800) with an effective tax rate of 19.1 per cent (18.5). The increased effective tax rate is mainly explained by a lower result for investments in shares held for business purposes which are exempt from income tax.

Return on equity

Return on equity for the first six months decreased to 12.8 per cent (14.2).

Other comprehensive income

Other comprehensive income amounted to SEK 2,551m (8,319). The change in net value of the defined benefit pension plans affected other comprehensive income by SEK 1,066m (8,022). Given the strong stock market development in 2021, pension plan assets values increased. At the same time, the pension obligation decreased in line with a higher discount rate. In 2022, asset values decreased which lowered other comprehensive income.

The net effect from the valuation of balance sheet items that may subsequently be reclassified to the income statement, i.e. cash flow hedges and translation of foreign operations amounted to SEK 1,431m (295).

1 Unrealised valuation change from counterparty risk (CVA) and own credit risk standing in derivatives (DVA). Own credit risk for issued securities (OCA) is reflected in Other comprehensive income.

Business volumes

Total assets as of 30 June 2022 amounted to SEK 4,113bn, representing an increase of SEK 346bn from the end of the first quarter (3,766).

The 2021 trend that both non-financial and financial corporations as well as households chose bank accounts as a safe investment alternative continued in 2022. In addition, shortterm event-driven deposits amounting to around SEK 60bn are part of the balance.

Debt securities

Debt securities increased by SEK 4bn to SEK 342bn in the second quarter. The securities are short-term in nature and have a high credit worthiness.

Assets under management and custody

Total assets under management amounted to SEK 2,100bn (2,432). The market value moved with the equity markets and decreased by SEK 293bn during the quarter (230). The net outflows of assets under management amounted to SEK 39bn (20) including SEK 12.7bn that were transferred to Ringkjøbing Landbobank in connection with a new strategic partnership. Institutional investors reviewed and adjusted their investment strategies.

Assets under custody amounted to SEK 19,591bn given the decreasing asset values (21,669).

Risk and capital

SEB's business is exposed to many different types of risks. The risk composition of the group, as well as the related risk, liquidity and capital management, are described in SEB's Annual and Sustainability Report for 2021 (see page 86-91 and notes 40 and 41), in the Capital Adequacy and Risk Management Report for 2021 as well as the quarterly additional Pillar 3 disclosures. Further information is available in the Fact Book that is published quarterly.

SEB's credit portfolio, which includes loans, contingent liabilities and derivatives, increased by SEK 96bn in the second quarter to SEK 2,992bn (2,896). The corporate credit portfolio increased by SEK 76bn, mainly due to the weaker Swedish krona against the Euro and, in particular, US dollar, and a modest underlying credit demand. Part of the bridge facilities made in the past quarters were repaid according to plan. The real estate management portfolios, including housing co-operative associations, and household mortgages were more or less flat.

Asset quality indicators such as past due loans continued to be largely unchanged during the quarter. Currency effects led to higher gross exposures and ECL allowances in all stages. Credit-impaired loans (gross loans in stage 3) was more or less stable at SEK 8.8bn (8.3), corresponding to 0.43 per cent of total loans (0.42), as write-offs were offset by an increase from currency effects. Stage 1 and 2 ECL allowances increased from macroeconomic scenario updates and redistribution of portfolio model overlays. See net expected credit loss comment on page 8 .

Notes 10-12 provide a more detailed breakdown of SEB's loan portfolio by industry and asset quality as well as corresponding ECL allowances. The Fact book provides a breakdown of SEB's credit portfolio and lending portfolio by industry and geography.

Market risk

Market volatility, especially related to the higher interest rates and widening credit spreads, led to increased market risk. As of the second quarter 2022, average VaR in the regulatory trading book amounted to SEK 217m (159). The group does not expect to lose more than this amount, on average, during a period of ten trading days with 99 per cent probability. SEB's business model is mainly driven by customer demand.

Liquidity and funding

SEB maintained a strong and diversified liquidity and funding position in the quarter. The loan-to-deposit ratio was 93 per cent per 30 June 2022 (100).

SEB's long-term funding need continued to be mainly regulatory-driven. Despite volatile financial markets during the quarter, SEB continued to issue long-term funding at satisfactory terms and with high investor demand. New issuance amounted to SEK 36bn, of which SEK 9bn in covered bonds, SEK 22bn in senior debt and SEK 5bn subordinated debt (additional Tier 1 capital). SEK 16bn of long-term funding matured, of which SEK 5bn subordinated debt was redeemed, while covered bonds constituted the majority of the remaining part.

Short-term funding in the form of commercial paper and certificates of deposit increased by SEK 20bn.

Liquid assets defined according to the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) requirements amounted to SEK 1,152bn at 30 June 2022 (945) and the LCR was 135 per cent (122).

The net stable funding ratio (NSFR) requirement is that stable funding shall be at least 100 per cent of illiquid assets. Per 30 June 2022, SEB's NSFR was 110 per cent (108).

Rating

Fitch rates SEB's long-term senior unsecured debt at AA– with stable outlook. The rating is based on SEB's low risk appetite, stable and well-executed strategy, and robust asset quality and capitalisation. The rating was affirmed in July 2022.

Moody's rates SEB's long-term senior unsecured debt at Aa3 with stable outlook based on the bank's strong asset quality and solid capitalisation which are expected to be resilient in the aftermath of Covid-19 induced economic disruption. While the bank has good underlying earnings generation, the corporate banking focus could add earnings cyclicality. The rating of the senior unsecured debt was downgraded to Aa3 from Aa2 in October 2021, following the Swedish National Debt Office's (the resolution authority) proposal to amend its rules on Minimum Requirements for Eligible Liabilities and Own Funds (MREL) which will result in most Swedish banks needing to issue lower levels of additional loss-absorbing debt.

S&P rates SEB's long-term senior unsecured debt at A+ with stable outlook. The rating is based on the stable and lowrisk operating environment in Sweden, the bank's stable and w0ell-diversified revenue base and leading position among large Nordic corporates, robust capitalisation and resilient earnings, despite expected increasing pressure on revenues and asset quality in the economic environment. The rating was affirmed in July 2022.

Risk exposure amount

The total risk exposure amount (REA) increased by SEK 23bn to SEK 851bn during the second quarter.

Foreign exchange movements was the main contributor, which due to the weakening Swedish krona increased credit risk REA by SEK 22bn. An improvement in asset quality that decreased REA was offset by an increase in asset size. Market risk REA increased by SEK 2bn while operational risk REA

remained largely unchanged and there were no model and methodology updates during the quarter.

Capital position

The following table shows REA and capital ratios according to applicable capital regulation:

30 Jun 31 Mar 31 Dec
Own funds requirement, Basel III 2022 2022 2021
Risk exposure amount, SEK bn 851 828 787
Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio, % 18.6 18.7 19.7
Tier 1 capital ratio, % 20.3 19.7 21.4
Total capital ratio, % 22.0 21.4 23.1
Leverage ratio, % 4.3 4.3 5.0

SEB's Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio of 18.6 per cent was largely unchanged compared to the previous quarter (18.7), as an increase in REA largely was offset by the quarterly net profit after deduction for dividend.

A full deduction from CET1 capital of SEK 2.5bn for the second share buyback programme announced on 22 March 2022 was made in the first quarter. The share buyback programme runs through 24 October 2022. During the period 23 March to 30 June 2022, 9.5m Class A shares were repurchased at around SEK 1bn. In the second quarter, 15.4m Class A shares repurchased under the first share buyback programme were cancelled. See further page 23.

SEB's applicable CET1 capital requirement and Pillar 2 guidance (P2G) per the end of the second quarter was 13.8 per cent (13.8). SEB's target is to have a buffer of 100 to 300 basis points above the capital requirement. The buffer shall cover sensitivity to currency fluctuations in REA, changes in the net value of the Swedish defined benefit pension plan as well as general macroeconomic uncertainties. The buffer is currently approximately 480 basis points (490).

SEB's leverage ratio was 4.3 per cent at the end of the quarter (4.3) whereas the leverage ratio requirement and P2G was 3.45 per cent.

Internally assessed capital requirement

As per 30 June 2022, the internally assessed capital requirement, including insurance risk, amounted to SEK 104bn (106). The internal capital requirement is assessed using SEB's internal models for economic capital and is not fully comparable to the estimated capital requirement published by the SFSA due to differences in assumptions and methodologies.

The internally assessed capital requirement for the parent company was SEK 86bn (84).

Business development

In January, SEB communicated its 2030 Strategy and threeyear business plan for 2022-2024. Every second quarter we will follow up on the progress and important milestones related to strategic initiatives within the four pillars of our 2030 Strategy: Acceleration of efforts, Strategic change, Strategic partnerships and Efficiency improvements.

Acceleration of efforts

SEB's ambition is to be a leading catalyst in the sustainable transition by financing and investing in the transition as well as transforming our own business. The Life division invested about SEK 600m of capital from the traditional life insurance portfolio in two sustainable private equity funds, EQT Future, which invests in companies with transition potential from both a climate and social perspective, and Course Corrected VC, the first Nordic climate-focused venture capital fund. In this way, SEB's pension capital supports the sustainable transition while also offering an opportunity to generate good returns in the long term for our pension customers.

In line with the goal to offer sustainable investment opportunities, SEB Investment Management started two new Article 9-classified funds and three new external Article 9 funds were added to the Swedish unit-linked offering.

Through SEB Greentech Venture Capital, SEB invests in companies with transformative ideas that can have a substantial impact in reducing greenhouse gas emissions or in preventing transgression of the planetary boundaries. A fifth investment, acquiring a part ownership stake in Metry, a Swedish company that collects data for sustainability reporting and more efficient energy use of buildings, was made.

SEB's own efforts to transform its business include a strengthened sustainability policy framework, by launching new sector policies on Transportation and Agriculture, and broadening the scope of the thematic policies on Environmental and Social & Human Rights. These efforts laid the ground for a significant improvement in Fair Finance Guide's assessment of Swedish banks' sustainability-related principles and guidelines. SEB moved from last to second place among the large banks.

Strategic change

An important milestone on the accelerated digitalisation of our retail banking offering was the launch of the next generation of the internet bank for retail customers in Sweden, including a new design and user experience enhancements. This is a necessary step to secure the future of our internet bank from a technical perspective. Also, the corporate internet banking hub, Business Arena, reached the milestone of now being the main point of entry for corporate customers in Sweden.

The private mobile app was enhanced with digital financial advice and investment and savings inspiration, digital agreements and further improvements in the functionality of managing meetings in the digital channels. A customer pension and insurance dashboard was launched in the Baltic countries, providing customers with a fully digital self-service platform

with an improved visual overview of their savings and insurance.

The Private Wealth Management & Family Office division's strategy is to expand in the Nordic countries, strengthen international reach and establish SEB as a leading partner for professional family offices. SEB entered into a strategic partnership with Ringkjøbing Landbobank, strengthening the presence in the Danish private wealth management market. Important steps were taken to establish the representative office in Nice to support Nordic home market customers residing or investing in the Mediterranean region and key recruitments were made to the professional family office business in the Nordic countries and Germany.

SEB's innovation studio SEBx explored opportunities within Banking-as-a-Service and announced its first external customer, Humla, a fintech startup within the Swedish retail group Axel Johnson.

Strategic partnerships

In our ambition to rethink how we produce and distribute our products and services, several strategic partnerships were initiated. Through a cooperation agreement with the accounting firm Aspia, SEB can support small and medium sized enterprises by, for example, integrating accounting and tax services with SEB's banking services. Through the strategic partnership with the Swedish insurtech company Insurely, SEB will explore the possibilities of further digitalising our insurance offering to customers.

We have also entered into a strategic co-operation with Danish fintech company Leneo, by acquiring a part ownership stake through SEB Venture Capital. Through its Asset-as-a-Service technology, Leneo enables manufacturing companies to shift to more circular business models, moving from selling machinery, equipment or other products to leasing them to end customers and charging for usage and value created. SEB Venture Capital also invested in Swedish Lysa, one of Europe's fastest-growing automated savings platforms. The investment is mainly made to support Lysa's growth and international expansion, reflecting our commitment to support and leverage innovation in the fintech ecosystem.

Last but not least, SEB has now launched Apple Pay to all its Nordic and Baltic retail customers.

Efficiency improvements

Automation and efficiency improvements continued. Some notable deliveries included further automation of the internal financial reporting process and a new delivery model for group-wide workplace services to improve technology and quality.

The first transactions have been made on SEB's new global payment platform, an important milestone toward a more modern and efficient payment infrastructure for SEB.

A new group-wide data and analytics function was established to improve data governance and coordinate prioritisation and delivery across SEB.

Other information

Long-term financial targets for the group

With the overall purpose to increase capital management flexibility, the Board of Directors' long-term financial targets are:

  • to pay a yearly dividend that is around 50 per cent of the earnings per share excluding items affecting comparability, and distribute potential capital in excess of the targeted capital position mainly through share repurchases,
  • to maintain a Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 100– 300 basis points above the requirement from the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (FSA), and
  • to generate a return on equity that is competitive with peers.

In the long term, SEB aspires to reach a sustainable return on equity of 15 per cent.

Financial aspirations for the divisions

The long-term divisional aspirations for profitability (RoBE) and cost efficiency (C/I ratio) are set mainly based on two factors. Firstly, each division will have the ambition to achieve best in class profitability and cost efficiency compared with similar businesses among relevant peers. Secondly, each division's aspirations are set so that they enable SEB to achieve its long-term aspiration of 15 per cent return on equity on group level.

Business plan 2022-2024 and cost target

The aim is to create shareholder value - by accelerating income growth, driving earnings per share growth, increasing our profitability and future-proofing the business. This will be achieved by capitalising on a position of strength and by further investing into the business, as outlined in the business plan for 2022-2024.

The target entails growing the business in a capitalefficient manner to reach the long-term financial targets. In the short-term, the cost target for 2022 is SEK 24.5bn, assuming 2021 FX-rates. With the 30 June 2022 foreign exchange rates, the implied cost target for 2022 is SEK 24.9bn. Towards the end of the business plan period, the plan is to be within the long-term capital target of 100-300 basis points above the regulatory requirement. During 2022 the plan is to distribute between SEK 5-10bn through share buybacks, subject to market conditions. All of this is with the overall ambition to grow earnings per share and reach the long-term aspirational target of 15 per cent return on equity.

Impact from exchange rate fluctuations

The currency effect increased operating profit for the second quarter by SEK 162m.

Compared with the first quarter, the weaker Swedish krona increased loans to and deposits from the public by SEK 30bn and SEK 37bn, respectively, while total REA increased by SEK 22bn and the increase of total assets was SEK 64bn.

Uncertainties

The relevant overall risks and uncertainties for the SEB Group are outlined in the 2021 Annual and Sustainability Report.

As the Covid-19 pandemic subsided, the heightened level of global uncertainty prevailed driven by Russia's war in Ukraine, the energy crisis and continued supply-chain disruptions. Continuously increasing global inflationary pressure and higher interest rates also contributed.

Inflation risks caused most central banks to take or plan to make monetary intervention. On 28 April 2022, the Executive Board of the Swedish central bank announced its decision to increase the policy rate to 0.25 per cent and at 30 June 2022 the policy rate was increased to 0.75 per cent. The Swedish central bank expects the policy rate to be close to 2 per cent by the beginning of 2023. The interest rate levels are key factors affecting SEB's net interest income and operating profit. Financial markets have started to price in interest rate cuts as early as the first half of 2023, indicating an increased concern of a recession in Europe and the United States.

With a deteriorated macroeconomic outlook, financial institutions may be affected in terms of funding availability and financial markets volatility may increase. Such volatility may in turn adversely impact fair values of certain financial instruments and holdings, and consequently, net financial income and capital.

While SEB's direct exposure to Russia and Ukraine is small, the negative global macroeconomic effect may have implications on SEB's asset quality and asset values may deteriorate. SEB continuously assesses the asset quality of its credit portfolio using several different economic scenarios.

The Swedish Pensions Agency has made a claim for damages against SEB in its capacity as depositary for the fund company Gustavia Davegårdh Fonder's investment funds. The claim amounts to just over SEK 470m excluding interest and relates to transactions carried out in 2012. The Swedish Pensions Agency is of the opinion that SEB has failed in its controlling responsibilities in relation to these transactions. The claim has been made against SEB without any prior communication with the bank. SEB is of the opinion that the bank has fulfilled its duties as depositary in regards to these transactions and that the bank has no liability for damages, and has disputed the claim in a letter to the Swedish Pensions Agency. No provision has been recognised in accordance with accounting regulations.

1) Quarterly numbers are for end of quarter. Accumulated numbers are average for the period.

  • Increased lending demand among large corporates driven by volatile and more expensive capital markets
  • Growing interest in rebalancing and hedging products among institutional clients
  • Operating profit amounted to SEK 3,105m and return on business equity was 12.9 per cent

Comments on the second quarter

Inflationary pressure, tighter monetary policies and volatility put pressure on already restrained capital markets in an otherwise solid quarter for the division. Corporate lending activity picked up in the quarter while project and infrastructure financing activity remained robust.

Within the large corporate customer segment, focus on integration of environmental, social and governance considerations in their strategies continued. The uncertain markets led to muted activity in the primary market with fewer transactions in the equity capital markets whereas mergers and acquisitions activity showed more resilience. In the latter part of the quarter bridge financing facilities started to be repaid, as previously communicated. Customer demand for risk management services continued to be strong on the back of volatile markets and elevated energy prices.

Within the financial institutional customer segment, activity in fixed income products remained subdued, partly reflecting the less vibrant primary market activity. On the other hand, the heightened market volatility resulted in strong demand for foreign exchange hedges and equities financing. Despite the

uncertain macro environment, focus centred to a large extent on the strategic agenda, with a continued increased interest in alternative asset classes.

Assets under custody declined and amounted to SEK 19,591bn (21,669) mainly as a consequence of decreasing asset values.

Operating profit amounted to SEK 3,105m. Net interest income increased by 10 per cent, partly driven by the bridge financing from preceding quarters, and due to interest rate and foreign exchange market movements. Net fee and commission income increased by 12 per cent, predominantly driven by the continued robust private equity activity. Net financial income decreased by 18 per cent where higher demand for currency and commodity products was counteracted by lower fixed income activity. Operating expenses increased by 3 per cent.

Comments on the second quarter

With the rapid change in interest rates and macroeconomic outlook there was an increased demand for financial advice from customers. This had a positive impact on customer satisfaction in advisory services, as measured by Net Promoter Score (NPS), which increased for both corporate and private customers.

In the corporate customer segment, the net inflow of fullservice customers continued. During the quarter, lending volumes increased due to growth in corporate and card lending while real estate lending volumes continued to decline. Overall, corporate lending increased by SEK 5bn to SEK 294bn (289). Corporate deposits increased in the quarter while the assets under management declined due to falling asset values, but was supported by another quarter of inflows, albeit small.

Among private customers, growth in household mortgage volumes slowed as price competition increased. SEB had a more conservative approach. Mortgage volumes were stable and amounted to SEK 560bn (560). Increased market uncertainty resulted in net outflows among private customers and with declining stock markets assets under management

declined during the quarter. Deposit volumes increased at a pace in line with seasonal expectations, especially tax repayments.

In total, lending volumes increased by SEK 5bn to SEK 874bn. Deposit volumes grew by SEK 11bn and amounted to SEK 494bn.

The operating profit amounted to SEK 2,149m. Net interest income increased by 5 per cent explained by increasing margin on deposits following higher interest rates while lending margins declined. Net fee and commission income increased by 18 per cent compared to the first quarter mainly due to the continued recovery of the card business. Turnover in both corporate and private cards were above the 2019 level during the quarter. Total operating expenses amounted to SEK 1,782m, an increase by 2 per cent compared to last quarter. Net expected credit losses amounted to SEK 138m, with a net expected credit loss level of 5 basis points in the second quarter. See page 8.

  • Strong inflow of customers
  • High demand for investment and lending advisory services
  • Operating profit amounted to SEK 256m and return on business equity was 21.4 per cent

Comments on the second quarter

The second quarter was characterised by negative stock market development, increased financial uncertainty and inflation. In this environment, customers' demand for investment and lending advisory services remained at a high level and customers also sought continuous market information updates. The number of customers increased in all geographical locations where services are offered.

SEB entered into a strategic partnership with Ringkjøbing Landbobank, strengthening the presence in the Danish private wealth management market.

The new customers contributed to positive net flows in assets under management during the quarter. The strategic partnership with Ringkjøbing Landbobank reduced assets under management by SEK 12.7bn. Excluding this effect, net sales, including deposits, amounted to SEK 17.8bn. However, assets under management decreased by 18 per cent

compared to the end of the first quarter due to lower market values explained by the overall stock market development during the quarter.

Lending volumes increased by SEK 2bn to SEK 72bn. Deposit volumes increased by SEK 13bn to SEK 142bn, to some extent driven by customers reducing risk by exiting equity investments and mutual funds.

The operating profit amounted to SEK 256m. Net interest income increased by 33 per cent driven by lending volume growth and positive deposit margins. Net fee and commission income decreased by 15 per cent, mainly explained by the asset under management development and less activitydriven income. Total operating expenses amounted to SEK 389m, in line with the first quarter. Net expected credit losses amounted to SEK 10m. See page 8.

  • Private and corporate lending growth coupled with flat deposit development

  • Operating profit amounted to SEK 832m and return on business equity was 21.6 per cent

Comments on the second quarter

Economic activity remained strong despite the war in Ukraine and inflation rates amongst the highest in the Euro area. Exports to Russia and Belarus dropped significantly but were somewhat cushioned by the strong demand in other export markets. The economic dependence on Russia, Belarus and Ukraine is mainly limited to a few sectors and import goods, and therefore the sanctions have not had a direct material effect.

However, widespread inflation led by energy products and supply-chain shortages impacted manufacturing and other energy-intensive sectors causing higher prices on consumer goods and services. Despite the continued tight labour market driving wage growth, household consumption was impacted negatively as inflation grew faster than disposable income. The services sector continued to benefit from the lifting of pandemic restrictions which, together with higher inflation, led to a lower level of household savings growth than was observed throughout the pandemic. Residential property prices continued to climb.

Lending volumes to both private and corporate customers increased by 2 per cent in local currency during the quarter

and amounted to SEK 170bn (161). Deposits from corporate customers decreased for the first time in two years and, together with lower growth in household savings contributed to a flat development in local currency to SEK 211bn (204).

Operating profit amounted to SEK 832m. The currency effect on the result this quarter was small. Net interest income increased by 6 per cent, due to increased lending volumes and lower costs for excess liquidity. Net fee and commission income increased by 2 per cent, due to the higher consumer activity in cards following the lifting of pandemic restrictions. Net financial income decreased by 71 per cent due mainly to lower market values of interest rate swaps in the liquidity and banking books as well as a normalised level of customer activity in foreign exchange compared to when the war broke out. Operating expenses increased by 6 per cent due to the annual salary review which reflected the inflation and an increased number of employees. Net expected credit losses were positive at SEK 9m.

  • High customer activity within Swedish occupational pension
  • Continued market uncertainty affected performance
  • Operating profit amounted to SEK 401m and return on business equity was 28.7 per cent

Comments on the second quarter

The volatility in the financial markets continued and affected asset values and operating profit of the division negatively. Rising interest rates and continued falling global equity markets affected market returns, resulting in assets under management decreasing by 9 per cent compared to the previous quarter. Advisory activity was at normal levels, where customers in general chose not to reallocate their investments despite the changes in the savings environment.

Total assets under management for both the traditional and unit-linked insurance decreased to SEK 425bn (465). Unit-linked assets represented SEK 351bn (387) of total assets under management.

Sales volumes remained strong where corporate customer interest in Swedish occupational pension continued. The portfolio bond product also maintained stable sales quarteron-quarter, and risk insurance sales increased somewhat.

The savings market dropped due to the financial market situation. SEB's market share changed to a second position in

Baltic sales were stable, however challenged by outflows, partly resulting from the Estonian pension reform launched last year. Unit-linked sales as well as sales of risk insurance products are improving compared to the first quarter.

Operating profit decreased to SEK 401m, mainly a result of the adverse development in the financial markets. Net fee and commission income decreased by 11 per cent, driven by decreased asset values in the unit-linked business, combined with continuing margin pressure. Net financial income increased by 1 per cent compared to the first quarter. Volatility in equity and interest markets affected income from the traditional portfolios. Income from risk insurance products increased compared to the first quarter. Operating expenses increased by 3 per cent.

Decreasing returns in the Swedish traditional portfolios led to a lowering of the bonus rate in the Swedish traditional portfolios from 4 to 3 per cent as of June 1.

  • Macroeconomic and geopolitical factors impacted the business negatively
  • Lower general market values impacted assets under management and net sales were negative
  • Operating profit amounted to SEK 480m and return on business equity was 60.1 per cent

Comments on the second quarter

Macroeconomic and geopolitical factors led to a negative market environment with higher interest rates, inflation and falling stock prices. This had a large effect on the assets under management during the quarter. Assets under management decreased by SEK 129bn to SEK 1,085bn in total (1,215). Net sales were negative and amounted to SEK -37bn with outflows in most asset classes but mainly in fixed income. Investors adjusted their investment strategies for the higher market interest rates.

For SEB Investment Management the lower market valuations in the financial markets affected the assets under management for SEB labelled mutual funds which decreased by SEK 71bn during the quarter to SEK 688bn (759). There were large negative effects in all asset classes with the exception of alternative investment funds which increased slightly due to positive net sales as customers sought new options.

SEB-labelled mutual funds classified in line with Article 8 and 91) in the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation

(SFDR) amounted to SEK 566bn (636) which represented 82 per cent of assets under management (84). Of the total, SEK 550bn was classified as Article 8 and SEK 17bn was classified as Article 9.

Within Institutional Asset Management the quarter was challenging given the current macroeconomic environment. The current quarter's net sales was materially impacted by outflows within fixed income, particularly one specific mandate.

Operating profit amounted to SEK 480m. Net fee and commission income decreased by 13 per cent, driven by lower performance fees since one large item was reported in the prior quarter. Net performance fees amounted to SEK 91m (164). Also base commissions were lower due to decreased assets under management volumes. Base commissions amounted to SEK 711m (754) with an underlying decrease of 6 per cent. Operating expenses increased by 2 per cent.

1) Article 8 refers to funds that promote environmental or social characteristics while Article 9 funds must have a sustainable investment objective. See esma.europe.eu.

Notes to the financial statements - SEB Group

Note 1 Accounting policies and presentation

This Report is presented in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The group's consolidated accounts have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations of these standards as adopted by the European Commission. The accounting also follows the Annual Accounts Act for Credit Institutions and Securities Companies (1995:1559) and the regulation and general guidelines issued by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority: Annual Reports in Credit Institutions and Securities Companies (FFFS 2008:25). In addition, the Supplementary Accounting Rules for Groups (RFR 1) from the Swedish Financial Reporting Board have been applied. The parent company has prepared its accounts in accordance with Swedish Annual Act for Credit Institutions and Securities Companies, the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority's Regulations and General Guidelines (FFFS 2008:25) on Annual Reports in Credit Institutions and Securities Companies and the Supplementary Accounting Rules for Legal Entities (RFR 2) issued by the Swedish Financial Reporting Board.

As of 1 January 2022, SEB has made several changes to the presentation of the Income statement and as a result the comparative figures have been restated. See section on restated comparative figures for more information on page 46. In conjunction with the introduction of the Swedish risk tax, the group has changed the presentation of the Income statement by adding a new reporting line Imposed levies: risk tax and resolution fees. Resolution fees, previously presented in Net interest income, are presented in Imposed levies going forward. The reporting line Profit before credit losses has

been changed to Profit before credit losses and imposed levies. The purpose of the changes is to clarify the reporting and facilitate the comparison of operating profit between periods. SEB invests in interest-bearing securities both for customer purposes and for liquidity management purposes. These securities are classified as held for trading or mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss and changes in fair value of these securities are recognised in Net financial income, and the interest in Net interest income. Going forward, the amortisation of premium or discount from acquisition of these securities is presented in Net interest income instead of in Net financial income. In addition, the reporting line Gains less losses from tangible and intangible assets is removed. The changes in presentation have not had any impact on the profit or loss, or equity. SEB has, to reflect the current reporting and decision-making process, changed the presentation of reportable segments. For more information, see Business segments page 14.

As of 1 January 2022, the group applies the following amendments to IFRS standards: IFRS 3 Business Combinations – Reference to the Conceptual Framework. specification to IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent assets – Onerous Contracts and 2018-2020 annual improvements to IFRS. The implementation has had no impact on the group's financial position, earnings, cash flow or disclosures.

In all other material aspects, the group's and the parent company's accounting policies, basis for calculations and presentations are unchanged in comparison with the 2021 Annual and Sustainability Report.

Fair value measurement

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.

The group has an established control environment for the determination of fair values of financial instruments that includes a review, independent from the business, of valuation models and prices. If the validation principles are not adhered to, the Head of Group Finance shall be informed. Exceptions of material and principal importance require approval from the Valuation Committee / GRMC (Group Risk Measurement Committee) and the ARC (Accounting Reporting Committee).

In order to arrive at the fair value of a financial instrument SEB uses different methods; quoted prices in active markets, valuation techniques incorporating observable data and valuation techniques based on internal models. For disclosure purposes, financial instruments carried at fair value are classified in a fair value hierarchy according to the level of market observability of the inputs. Group Risk classifies and continuously reviews the classification of financial instruments in the fair value hierarchy. The valuation process is the same for financial instruments in all levels.

An active market is one in which transactions occur with sufficient volume and frequency to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The objective is to arrive at a price at which a transaction without modification or repackaging would occur in the principal market for the instrument to which SEB has immediate access.

Fair value is generally measured for individual financial instruments, in addition portfolio adjustments are made to cover the credit risk. To reflect counterparty risk and own credit risk in OTC derivatives, adjustments are made based on the net exposure towards each counterpart. These adjustments are calculated on a counterparty level based on estimates of exposure at default, probability of default and recovery rates. Probability of default and recovery rate information is generally sourced from the CDS markets. For counterparties where this information is not available, or considered unreliable due to the nature of the exposure, alternative approaches are taken where the the probability of default is based on generic credit indices for specific industry and/or rating. When valuing financial liabilities at fair value SEB's own credit standing is reflected.

In order to arrive at the fair value of investment properties a market participant's ability to generate economic benefit by using the asset in its highest and best use are taken into account. The highest and best use takes into account the use of the asset that is physically possible, legally permissible and financially feasible. The current use of the investment properties in SEB is in accordance with the highest and best use. The valuation of investment properties is described in the accounting policies in the Annual and Sustainability Report note 1. The valuation of the investment properties is performed semi-annually, they are presented and approved by the board in each real estate company. The valuation principles used in all entities are in accordance with regulations provided by the local Financial Supervisory Authorities (FSA) which is in accordance with international valuation principles and in accordance with IFRS.

Level 1: Quoted market prices

Valuations in Level 1 are determined by reference to unadjusted quoted market prices for identical 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. Examples of Level 1 financial instruments are listed equity securities, debt securities, and exchange-traded derivatives. Instruments traded in an active market for which one or more market participants provide a binding price quotation on the balance sheet date are also examples of Level 1 financial instruments.

Note 9, continued. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value

Level 2: Valuation techniques with observable inputs

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.

Examples of observable inputs are foreign currency exchange rates, binding securities price quotations, market interest rates (Stibor, Libor, etc.), volatilities implied from observable option prices for the same term and actual transactions with one or more external counterparts executed by SEB. An input can transfer from being observable to being unobservable during the holding period due to e.g. illiquidity of the instrument. Examples of Level 2 financial instruments are most OTC derivatives such as options and interest rate swaps based on the Libor swap rate or a foreign-denominated yield curve. Other examples are instruments for which SEB recently entered into transactions with third parties and instruments for which SEB interpolates between observable variables.

Level 3: Valuation techniques with significant unobservable inputs

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. Examples of Level 3 financial instruments are more complex OTC derivatives, long dated options for which the volatility is extrapolated or derivatives that depend on an unobservable correlation. Other examples are instruments for which there is currently no active market or binding quotes, such as unlisted equity instruments, private equity holdings and investment properties.

If the fair value of financial instruments includes more than one unobservable input, the unobservable inputs are aggregated in order to determine the classification of the entire instrument. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a financial instrument is classified is determined on the basis of the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value in its entirety.

Significant transfers and reclassifications between levels

Transfers between levels may occur when there are indications that market conditions have changed, e.g. a change in liquidity. The Valuation / Pricing committee of each relevant division decides on material shifts between levels. During the first quarter transfers occurred from Level 1 and Level 2 to Level 3 of SEK 0.2bn within Debt instruments of Ukrainian government bonds. Additionally within Equity instruments, transfers occurred from Level 1 and Level 2 into Level 3 of SEK 0.9bn of Russian / Eastern Europe Funds. Following a review of Hedge Funds, within Equity instruments, a transfer out of Level 3 occurred of SEK 0.5bn. The largest open market risk within Level 3 financial instruments remains in the traditional life insurance investment portfolios within the insurance business.

Sensitivity of Level 3 assets and liabilities to unobservable inputs

The table below illustrates the potential Profit or Loss impact of the relative uncertainty in the fair value of assets and liabilities that for their valuation are dependent on unobservable inputs. The sensitivity to unobservable inputs is assessed by altering the assumptions to the valuation techniques, illustrated below by changes in index-linked swap spreads, implied volatilities, credit spreads or comparator multiples. It is unlikely that all unobservable inputs would be simultaneously at the extremes of their ranges of reasonably possible alternatives.

1) Volatility valuation inputs for Bermudan swaptions are unobservable. Volatilities used for ordinary swaptions are adjusted further in order to reflect the additional uncertainty associated with the valuation of Bermudan style swaptions. The sensitivity is calculated from shift in implied volatilities and aggregated from each currency and maturity bucket.

2) Valuation is estimated in a range of reasonable outcomes. Sensitivity analysis is based on 20 per cent shift in market values.

4) Shift in implied volatility by 10 per cent. 3) Sensitivity for debt securities is generally quantified as shift in market values of 5 per cent except for credit opportunity 10 per cent and for distressed debt and structured credits 15 per cent.

5) Sensitivity analysis is based on a shift in market values of hedge funds 5 per cent, private equity of 20 per cent, structured credits 15 per cent.

6) Sensitivity from a shift of investment properties/real estate funds market values of 10 per cent and infrastructure/infrastructure funds market values of 20 per cent.

7) The sensitivity show changes in the value of the insurance holdings which do not at all times affect the P/L of the group since any surplus in the traditional life portfolios are consumed first.

Development of exposures and ECL allowances by stage

In the second quarter 2022, the strengthening of EUR and, in particular, USD led to higher gross exposures and ECL allowances in all stages. Currency effects were more pronounced in Stage 3, however, the increase was mitigated by write-offs. Stage 1 and 2 ECL allowances increased from macroeconomic scenario updates and redistribution of portfolio model overlays.

The note continues on the next page.

Note 10, continued. Exposure and expected credit loss (ECL) allowances by stage

Measurement of ECL allowances

SEB uses models and expert credit judgement (ECJ) for calculating ECL allowances. The degree of judgement depends on model outcome, materiality and information available and ECJ may be applied to incorporate factors not captured by the models. Following the pandemic outbreak in the first quarter of 2020, ECJ was used to estimate portfolio model overlays in the Corporate & Private Customers and Baltic divisions to capture potential negative effects on the asset quality in the SME portfolios arising from the uncertain economic outlook in light of the Covid-19-pandemic, and in the Large Corporates & Financial Institutions division to capture the challenges facing the oil industry.

In the second quarter 2022, the Covid-19-related portfolio model overlays in the Corporate & Private Customers and Baltic divisions were released as the uncertainty around effects of the pandemic has receded. However, new portfolio model overlays were made in largely the same amounts to reflect the risks from higher energy prices, supply chain issues and inflation, which have increased following the geopolitical development. In the Large Corporates & Financial Institutions division, the amount of model overlays, made for geopolitical uncertainties and the oil portfolio, among other things, were unchanged in the quarter. This resulted in largely unchanged total amount of model overlays of SEK 2bn at the end of the quarter, of which SEK 0.8bn in the Large Corporates & Financial Institutions division, SEK 0.8bn in the Corporate & Private Customers division and SEK 0.4bn in the Baltic division.

Model overlays on portfolio level using ECJ are determined through top-down scenario analysis, including various scenarios of risk migration of complete portfolios, combined with bottom-up individual customer analysis of larger corporate customers and analysis and stress tests of sectors specifically exposed to the economic distress, including supply chain issues, higher energy prices and inflation risks. The model overlays are reevaluated quarterly in connection with the assessment of net ECLs.

Key macroeconomic variable assumptions for calculating ECL allowances

Macroeconomic forecasts made by SEB's economic research department are used as the basis for the forward-looking information incorporated in the ECL measurement. Three scenarios – base, positive and negative - and their probability weightings are reviewed every quarter, or more frequently when appropriate due to rapid or significant changes in the economic environment.

In the base scenario used in the second quarter 2022, the war in Ukraine, continued high energy prices and higher interest rates have significant economic impact and GDP growth forecasts have been lowered for 2022. However, a soft landing is expected supported by a number of positive forces. New fiscal stimulus measures in the form of subsidies for rising energy costs and intensified investments in defence capability and green transition will provide short-term support for growth in the euro area. Some stimulus funds provided during the pandemic still remain part of household savings buffers. Strong balance sheets make the private sector more resilient to rate hikes. Supply side problems currently driving inflation up will eventually ease and the real interest rates will remain low despite key rate hikes. A further description of the scenarios is available in the Nordic Outlook update published in May 2022.

The note continues on the next page

Note 10, continued. Exposure and expected credit loss (ECL) allowances by stage

The table below sets out the key assumptions of the base scenario.

Base scenario assumptions 2022 2023 2024
Global GDP growth 3.0% 3.4% 3.4%
OECD GDP growth 2.6% 2.3% 2.0%
Sweden
GDP growth 1.8% 1.8% 2.0%
Household consumption expenditure growth 1.6% 1.0% 2.0%
Interest rate (STIBOR) 1.50% 1.85% 1.85%
Residential real estate price growth 0.0% -5.0% 0.0%
Baltic countries
GDP growth 0.6% - 1.8% 1.8% - 2.5% 3.0% - 3.5%
Household consumption expenditure growth 0.8% - 2.5% 1.6% - 3.7% 3.0% - 3.5%
Inflation rate 10.7% - 14.7% 0.8% - 3.8% 2.1% - 2.5%
Nominal wage growth 7.0% - 9.0% 6.5% - 8.2% 5.5% - 6.0%
Unemployment rate 5.6% - 7.4% 5.5% - 7.3% 5.5% - 7.2%

The negative scenario reflects the downside risks of reversals in central bank policies. Factors that may be underestimated include the interest rate sensitivity of the economy, such as the impact of rates and yields on share and home prices, and a stronger and more protracted inflation upturn requiring further central bank actions. The possible need for energy rationing in Europe and China's economic headwinds are other downside risks. The upside potential is limited and the positive scenario assumes a faster resolution of supply side problems and prices normalising more than expected, reinforcing the base effects that are the main drivers of an inflation downturn.

The probability for the base scenario was maintained at 60 per cent while the probability for the negative scenario was increased from 25 to 30 per cent and the probability for the positive scenario was lowered from 15 to 10 per cent.

The update of the macroeconomic parameters and scenario weights led to an increase of total ECL allowances in the second quarter 2022. Should the positive and negative scenarios be assigned 100 per cent probability, the model calculated ECL allowances would decrease by 3 per cent and increase by 3 per cent respectively compared to the probability-weighted calculation.

SEB's measurement of ECL allowances and related assumptions according to IFRS 9 can be found on pages 120-121 and 152-153 in the Annual and Sustainability Report 2021.

2)Additional risk exposure amount according to Article 458, Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 (CRR), for risk-weight floors in the Swedish mortgage portfolio and as from Q3 2021 for risk-weight floors in the Norwegian mortgage portfolio as well as for Norwegian corporate exposures collateralized by immovable property.

Note 16 Average risk-weight

The following table summarises average risk-weights (risk exposure amount divided by exposure at default, EAD) for exposures, where the risk exposure amount is calculated according to the internal ratings based (IRB) approach. Repos and securities lending transactions are excluded from the analysis, since they carry low risk-weights, and can vary considerably in volume, thus making numbers less comparable.

THIS IS A TRANSLATION FROM THE SWEDISH ORIGINAL

Auditor's review report

To the Board of Directors in Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ), 502032-9081

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed financial report for Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ) as at June 30, 2022 and for the sixmonth period ending as at this date. The Board of Directors, the President and the Chief Executive Officer are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report 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 Financial Statements 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 differs from and is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing 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 condensed financial 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 in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act for Credit Institutions and Securities Companies regarding the Parent Company.
