Assets under management





The first quarter of the year was dominated by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. SEB has joined the international community in condemning Russia's actions. Our thoughts go out to our employees and customers in Ukraine, and to everyone affected by the war. As a northern European corporate bank with an international reach, SEB has a small presence in both Ukraine and Russia. In these countries, we support our home market customers locally, and we have no business targeted at local domestic customers. We recently communicated that it is not viable for us to maintain operations in Russia under the current conditions, and we have therefore started scaling down.
Following the invasion of Ukraine and the sanctions imposed on Russia, as well as the remarkable voluntary boycott of the Russian market, the energy supply shortage that emerged during the second half of 2021 increased. As a result, energy prices have risen even further, contributing to an increased global inflationary pressure and higher interest rates, as well as leading central banks around the world to initiate an earlier tightening of monetary policies than previously expected. The increased uncertainty has resulted in a general downward revision of economic growth forecasts. However, public finances in the Nordic and Baltic countries remain robust. In Sweden, public debt as a share of GDP amounts to 35 per cent, compared with 100 per cent for the Euro area. This indicates that capacity remains to support households and corporates in Sweden if required. Going forward, public investments in the sustainability transition and energy independence could also be factors driving economic growth.
Amid the heightened level of uncertainty, we do our utmost to support our customers and uphold our important role for people and businesses. Our employees enable us to keep the bank open in Ukraine and contribute to maintaining a robust financial system. We are also providing relief through donations, voluntary work and other initiatives. We strive to do our part to uphold the market economy, international trade and the democratic values our society is built on and that we so firmly believe in.
SEB's operating profit increased by 5 per cent compared to the previous quarter, to SEK 7.9bn. Return on equity reached 13.4 per cent. While event-driven financing and other capital marketrelated activity slowed markedly, lending volumes related to bridge financing supported net interest income. Assets under management decreased by 9 per cent in the quarter, mainly due to falling equity markets but also net outflows as customers reduced their risk exposure. Assets under custody decreased marginally as new business offset the value depreciation. Operating expenses decreased to SEK 5.8bn, partly affected by seasonality and decreased long-term incentive costs due to the lower SEB share price. Our cost guidance for 2022 remains unchanged.
The underlying asset quality remained robust. Net expected credit losses increased to 8 basis points due to less favourable macroeconomic scenarios, uncertainty related to higher energy prices, and the war in Ukraine. In light of this uncertainty, it is difficult to make projections for the full year, but we believe we are well reserved, and therefore net expected credit losses are likely to remain at a low level for the full year.
Our capital and liquidity position remains strong with a capital buffer of 490 basis points. The decline from year-end is partly related to temporary bridge financings and elevated market risk, which should reverse in the coming quarters. A second share buyback programme was launched, repatriating another SEK 2.5bn to our shareholders until October 2022.
During the first quarter, our efforts have been focused on futureproofing our business by executing on SEB's recently launched 2030 Strategy and new three-year business plan. I am proud to see how SEB's dedicated and skilled employees enable us to constantly develop our offering. For example, we have continued to explore the concept of Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS), or embedded finance, through our innovation studio SEBx. Leveraging API-driven technology, we can offer our financial products and services through the interface of nonbank partners. This creates opportunities both for the end customer and for us as a provider of these services, also in terms of new revenue streams. As a first step towards SEB's ambition of becoming a leading BaaS provider we recently announced our first external BaaS customer – the Swedish retail group Axel Johnson. Through this partnership, we strive to support innovation and product development within the retail industry.
Moreover, we recently launched Apple Pay to our Baltic retail customers. During the summer, this service will be provided to our Swedish retail customers as well.
During the quarter, we continued updating SEB Group's policy framework, ahead of further national and international regulatory clarification expected during the fall. This included updating and adopting sector policies covering for example renewable energy and transportation. By doing so, we aim to clarify our position and further strengthen our support to our customers. The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recently concluded that the transition of the global energy sector will be crucial to limit global warming. We continue to support our customers in their sustainability transitions, for example advising the Nordic renewable energy company Vestas in its landmark sustainability-linked bond transaction. Globally, this was the first sustainability-linked bond within the wind power industry that included requirements for circularity. We are pleased to see that our customers appreciate our support, and would like to thank them for the positive feedback we have received in this year's Prospera customer survey on sustainability.
In the coming years, we will focus on future-proofing the bank by further developing our operations. I am grateful to our shareholders who have placed their trust in SEB, allowing us to invest in our business, thereby increasing our ability to meet our customers' changing needs and behaviours. We will continue to create long-term value for all our stakeholders by supporting our customers. That is how we positively shape the future, today and for generations to come.

The changes, that do not affect the group's net profit or capital ratios, are fully reflected throughout this report. See p. 43-44 for more information and a reconciliation to previously presented financial information.
Operating profit increased by 5 per cent to SEK 7,857m compared with the fourth quarter 2021 (7,476). Year-onyear operating profit also increased by 5 per cent. Net profit amounted to SEK 6,403m (6,198).
Total operating income increased by SEK 641m compared with the fourth quarter 2021 and amounted to SEK 14,768m (14,127). Compared with the first quarter 2021, total operating income increased by 8 per cent.
Net interest income amounted to SEK 7,062m, which represented an increase of 5 per cent compared with the fourth quarter 2021 (6,717) and an increase of 12 per cent year-on-year.

| NII from other activities | 332 | 346 | -411 |
| Total | 7 062 | 6 717 | 6 300 |
Customer-driven net interest income increased by SEK 358m compared with the fourth quarter 2021. Both lending volumes, mainly related to bridge financing activity, and lending margins contributed to the increase. There was a small positive effect from deposit volumes and margins combined. The deposit guarantee fees amounted to SEK 101m (79).
Net interest income from other activities (including for instance funding and other treasury activities and trading) was next to unchanged at SEK 332m compared with the fourth quarter.
Net fee and commission income decreased by 8 per cent in the first quarter to SEK 5,398m (5,885), from a strong previous quarter outcome. Compared with the first quarter 2021 net fee and commission income increased by 13 per cent.
Given the heightened uncertainty related to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, customers were more cautious. Eventdriven new financing and other capital market-related activity slowed markedly compared with the unusually strong fourth quarter. Gross fee income from issuance of securities and advisory services decreased by SEK 134m to SEK 422m. Gross lending fees, mainly event-related, decreased by SEK 180m to SEK 804m.
High activity in the financial markets resulted in an increase of secondary market and derivatives income of 3 per cent in the first quarter to SEK 562m.
The gross fee income from custody and mutual funds, excluding performance fees, increased by SEK 77m to SEK 2,598m compared with the fourth quarter 2021. Performance fees amounted to SEK 164 (301).
Net payment and card fees decreased by SEK 16m to SEK 969m. The decrease was partly due to seasonality.
The net life insurance commissions related to the unitlinked insurance business, where average asset values were lower in the first quarter, amounted to SEK 276m (327).
Net financial income increased by SEK 817m to SEK 2,334m compared with the fourth quarter 2021. Year-onyear, net financial income decreased by SEK 209m.
High customer activity within foreign exchange and commodities contributed positively, offset by weakness within fixed income. There was a significant positive revaluation effect on interest rate and foreign exchange swaps from treasury activities. The fair value credit adjustment1) amounted to SEK 249m as credit spreads widened, an increase of SEK 284m compared with the fourth quarter 2021. The market value change of certain strategic holdings amounted to SEK -136m in the first quarter, a positive change of SEK 172m quarter-on-quarter. The sale of shares in the Swedish fintech company Tink announced in the second quarter 2021 was finalised at a gain of SEK 262m in the first quarter. Net financial income from the Life division decreased by SEK 134m to SEK 159m.
Net other income amounted to SEK -25m (8). Unrealised valuation and hedge accounting effects are included in this line item.
Total operating expenses amounted to SEK 5,793m (6,097) with some seasonal effect. Total operating expenses decreased by 5 per cent from the fourth quarter 2021 and increased by 1 per cent year-on-year.
Staff costs decreased by 1 per cent. Higher salary costs from an increased number of full-time equivalent employees was counteracted by lower social fees on long-term incentive programmes, in turn due to the lower value of the SEB share.

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.
The number of full-time equivalents increased to 16,066 (15,716).
The decrease in other expenses was related to IT and projects as well as seasonal effects from consulting costs and marketing. Supervisory fees amounted to SEK 38m (36). Depreciation costs decreased primarily explained by the impaired goodwill relating to card operations in Norway in the amount of SEK 179m which was reported in the fourth quarter 2021.
Costs related to the strategic initiatives in the business plan for 2022-2024 developed broadly according to plan. The cost target is outlined on page 11.
Net expected credit losses amounted to SEK 535m (299), corresponding to a net expected credit loss level of 8 basis points (5) due to the less favourable macroeconomic scenarios and net increase in portfolio model overlays. The underlying asset quality of the credit portfolio continued to be robust.
The model overlay made in 2020 for the oil portfolio in the Large Corporates & Financial Institutions division was reduced. A new model overlay on portfolio level was made for possible implications on asset quality of companies with high sensitivity to energy prices or with direct or indirect exposure to Russia and Ukraine. The portfolio model overlays made in 2020 for potential negative Covid-19 effects in the Corporate & Private Customers and Baltic divisions were maintained. While government support measures that have been in place as a result of Covid-19 restrictions have been or are being lifted, the impact on asset quality from higher inflation and interest rates remains uncertain. Including model overlays made prior to 2020, the total model overlays on portfolio level amount to SEK 2bn, of which SEK 0.8bn in the Large Corporate & Financial Institutions division and SEK 1.2bn in the Corporate & Private Customers and Baltic divisions.
See further comments on Credit risk and asset quality on page 9 and notes 10-12.
Imposed levies amounted to SEK 582m (255). 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 first quarter amounted to SEK 296m. The resolution fees rose to SEK 287m (255).
Income tax expense increased to SEK 1,454m (1,278) with an effective tax rate of 18.5 per cent (17.1).
Return on equity for the first quarter improved to 13.4 per cent (12.9).
Other comprehensive income amounted to SEK 1,070m (5,227). The value of SEB's pension plan assets continued to exceed the defined benefit obligations to the employees and the change in net value of the defined benefit pension plans affected other comprehensive income by SEK 840m (4,889). The defined benefit pension obligations decreased when the Swedish discount rate changed from 1.60 to 2.45 per cent in the first quarter.
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 196m (332).
Total assets as of 31 March 2022 amounted to SEK 3,766bn, representing an increase of SEK 462bn from the fourth quarter 2021 (3,304).

Deposits and borrowings from the public increased by SEK 257bn in the first quarter to SEK 1,854bn (1,597). The 2021 trend that both non-financial and financial corporations and households chose bank accounts as a safe investment alternative continued in 2022, now also fuelled by the uncertainty caused by the war in Ukraine. Deposits from financial corporations increased by SEK 202bn in the first quarter.
Debt securities increased by SEK 132bn to SEK 338bn in the first quarter. The securities are short-term in nature and have a high credit worthiness. The volume movements mirrored the changes in SEB's deposit base.
Total assets under management amounted to SEK 2,432bn (2,682). The market value moved with the equity markets and decreased by SEK 230bn during the quarter (+237). Net flows of assets under management were an outflow of SEK20bn (+23).
Assets under custody amounted to SEK 21,669bn (21,847), where decreasing asset values were partly offset by new mandates.
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 68bn in the first quarter to SEK 2,896bn (2,828). The corporate credit portfolio increased by SEK 40bn, mainly due to the weaker Swedish krona. The household mortgage segment increased by SEK 14bn, driven by a continued robust mortgage market in Sweden and the Baltic countries.
Asset quality indicators such as past due loans remained largely unchanged during the quarter. Credit-impaired loans (gross loans in stage 3) continued to decrease to SEK 8.3bn (9.8), which corresponds to 0.42 per cent of total loans (0.53). The decrease was driven mainly by write-offs in the oil portfolio. Gross exposures in Stage 1 increased due to volume and currency effects, while gross exposures in Stage 2 increased due to currency effects and negative risk migration. Total ECL allowances amounted to SEK 8.2bn, of which SEK 2bn is model overlays on portfolio level. 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.
Various factors such as the central bank communication on increasing interest rates and the war in Ukraine resulted in significant market movements during the quarter. Average VaR in the regulatory trading book for the first quarter 2022 amounted to SEK 159m compared with SEK 111m for the fourth quarter 2021. 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.
SEB has maintained a strong and diversified liquidity and funding position in the quarter. The loan-to-deposit ratio was 100 per cent per 31 March 2022 (111).
SEB's long-term funding need continued to be mostly regulatory-driven. New issuance amounted to SEK 45bn, of which SEK 35bn in covered bonds and SEK 11bn in a senior non-preferred bond, which was issued in green format under SEB's new green bond framework. SEK 19bn of long-term funding matured, of which SEK 1bn covered bonds and SEK 18bn senior debt.
Short-term funding in the form of commercial paper and certificates of deposit increased by SEK 28bn.
Liquid assets defined according to the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) requirements amounted to SEK 945bn at 31 March 2022 (672) and the LCR was 122 per cent (145).
The net stable funding ratio (NSFR) requirement is that stable funding shall be at least 100 per cent of illiquid assets. Per 31 March 2022, SEB's NSFR was 108 per cent (111).
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 October 2021.
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 well-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 May 2021.
The total risk exposure amount (REA) increased by SEK 41bn to SEK 828bn during the first quarter.
The weaker Swedish krona increased credit risk REA by SEK 7bn, while asset size increased REA by SEK 15bn. Market risk REA increased by SEK 13bn, mainly due to elevated market volatility. Operational risk REA remained largely unchanged. No model and methodology updates affected REA during the quarter.

| Tier 1 capital ratio, % | 19.7 | 21.4 |
| Total capital ratio, % | 21.4 | 23.1 |
| Leverage ratio, % | 4.3 | 5.0 |
SEB's Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio was 18.7 per cent (19.7), mainly driven by an increase in REA. 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 programme runs through 24 October 2022. A dividend payment amounting to SEK 12.9bn was distributed on 29 March 2022.
SEB's applicable CET1 capital requirement and Pillar 2 guidance (P2G) per the end of the first quarter 2022 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 490 basis points (590).
SEB's leverage ratio was 4.3 per cent at the end of the quarter (5.0) whereas the leverage ratio requirement and P2G was 3.45 per cent.
As per 31 March 2022, the internally assessed capital requirement, including insurance risk, amounted to SEK 106bn (102). 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 84bn (83).
With the overall purpose to increase capital management flexibility, the Board of Directors' long-term financial targets are:
In the long term, SEB aspires to reach a sustainable return on equity of 15 per cent.
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.
| Division | Return on business equity |
Cost/ income ratio |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Large Corporates & Financial Institutions >13% Corporate & Private Customers Private Wealth Management & Family Office Baltic Life |
>16% >25% >20% >30% |
<0.50 <0.40 <0.50 <0.40 <0.45 |
|
| Investment Management | >40% | <0.40 |
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. 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.
The currency effect on operating profit for the first quarter 2022 was SEK 106m.
Compared with the fourth quarter 2021, the weaker Swedish krona increased loans to and deposits from the public by SEK 14bn and SEK 16bn, respectively, while total REA increased by SEK 7bn and the increase of total assets was SEK 26bn.
As per 23 March 2022 Masih Yazdi returned to the position of SEB's Chief Financial Officer after a leave of absence.
The relevant risks and uncertainties for the SEB Group are outlined in the 2021 Annual and Sustainability Report.
Since year-end 2021, the threat from Covid-19 with possible financial and economic consequences as previously described subsided substantially.
Other risks and uncertainties have emerged mainly related to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the thereafter imposed sanctions on Russia with implications on commodity prices, inflation and interest rate outlooks. While SEB's direct exposure to Russia and Ukraine is small, the negative global macroeconomic effect might have implications on SEB's asset quality.
SEB is continuously assessing the asset quality of its credit portfolio using several different economic scenarios.
Financial markets volatility may adversely impact fair values of certain financial instruments and holdings, and consequently, net financial income and capital.
The interest rate levels – in Sweden in particular the repo rate – are key factors affecting net interest income and operating profit. At the monetary policy meeting on 9 February 2022, the Executive Board of the Riksbank (the Swedish central bank) decided to hold the repo rate unchanged at zero per cent. At that time, the Riksbank expected that the repo rate will be raised during the second half of 2024. SEB's macroeconomic experts are predicting a first rate hike during the second quarter this year.

Operating profit amounted to SEK 2,792m and return on business equity was 12.4 per cent
The geopolitical turmoil, in conjunction with inflation concerns and the expectation of imminent tighter monetary policy, affected activity levels in the capital markets in an otherwise solid quarter with high demand for risk management services.
Within the large corporate customer segment, focus remained on the transitional agenda towards more sustainable balance sheets and project and infrastructure financing continued to grow. In contrast to the slightly muted capital markets, with fewer event-driven transactions, activity within the private equity space as well as corporate lending remained stable and, on the back of surging energy prices, clients' demand for risk management services increased.
Within the financial institutions customer segment, elevated volatility in interest rates and equity markets led to high demand for foreign exchange hedges, equities execution and equities financing. Client risk management activity, in interest rates and derivatives hedges, remained high during the quarter. The pursuit of credit-related products was somewhat subdued on the back of fewer event-driven transactions in the corporate segment which translated into lower related investment activity. Despite the uncertain
macroeconomic environment, focus remained to a large extent on alternative asset classes.
Assets under custody were marginally affected and amounted to SEK 21,669bn (21,847) where decreasing asset values were partly offset by new mandates being onboarded.
Operating income amounted to SEK 5,963m. Net interest income increased to SEK 2,967m, mainly due to lending volumes related to bridge financing activity. Net fee and commission income decreased to SEK 1,790m, due to the geopolitical environment impacting the primary markets. There were seasonal effects seen in the fourth quarter. Net financial income amounted to SEK 1,165m, predominantly driven by high demand for foreign exchange and commodities services but partly offset by fixed income. Operating expenses increased to SEK 2,453m mainly driven by higher salary expenses directly related to additional full-time equivalents. Net expected credit losses amounted to SEK 396m, with a net expected credit loss level of 11 basis points. See page 8.
The division offers full banking and advisory services to private individuals and small and medium-sized corporate customers in Sweden, as well as card services in four Nordic countries. Swedish affluent individuals are offered private banking services.

1) Quarterly numbers are for end of quarter. Accumulated numbers are average for the period.
Customer satisfaction in advisory services, as measured by Net Promoter Score (NPS), decreased for both corporate and private customers compared with last quarter but remained at high levels.
In the corporate customer segment, the net inflow of fullservice customers continued. During the quarter, lending volumes increased explained by growth in corporate and card lending, while lending volumes declined in the real estate portfolio. Overall, corporate lending increased by SEK 1bn and amounted to SEK 289bn. Corporate deposits decreased in the quarter while net inflow in mutual funds continued despite challenging market conditions.
Among private customers, the mortgage business continued to grow, but at a slower pace than previous quarters. Mortgage volumes grew by SEK 3bn and amounted to SEK 558bn. Increased market uncertainty and declining stock markets resulted in high activity among customers within mutual funds and equity trading, and negative net flows. Deposit volumes increased at a pace in line with seasonal expectations.
In total, lending volumes increased by SEK 4bn and amounted to SEK 866bn. Deposit volumes grew by SEK 1bn and amounted to SEK 483bn.
Within the card business, the recovery from the Covid-19 related decline continued, with turnover for both private and corporate cards above or close to 2019 levels by the end of the quarter.
The operating profit amounted to SEK 1,818m. Net interest income increased by 2 per cent explained by increasing volumes, while deposit margins continued to decline due to internal funds transfer pricing. Net fee and commission income decreased by 5 per cent due to seasonal variations in the card business, as expected, and lower assets under management. Total operating expenses amounted to SEK 1,748m, a decrease by 9 per cent compared with last quarter. The decrease is mainly explained by the card-related goodwill impairment amounting to SEK 179m in the fourth quarter. Net expected credit losses amounted to SEK 147m, with a net expected credit loss level of 6 basis points in the first quarter. See page 8.
The division offers comprehensive banking infrastructure, access to capital markets, financing solutions and individually tailored advisory services to entrepreneurs, high net worth individuals, foundations and family offices.

1) Quarterly numbers are for end of quarter. Accumulated numbers are average for the period.
Customers were active in the first quarter and demand for investment and lending advisory services remained at a high level. The division increased the number of customers in all geographical locations where services are offered and also generated positive net flows in assets under management during the quarter.
The first quarter was characterised by the war in Ukraine and increased uncertainty. Customer activities were high including additional market updates and investment events. Asset under management decreased by 12 per cent compared with the end of 2021. The market value related decrease is explained by the overall stock market development in the beginning of 2022.
Lending volumes increased by SEK 3.5bn to SEK 71bn. Deposit volumes increased by SEK 4bn to SEK 128bn, which was in line with seasonal expectations.
The operating profit amounted to SEK 260m. Net interest income increased by 13 per cent driven by lending volume growth. Net fee and commission income increased by 14 per cent, mainly explained by effects from the establishment of the new division. The high customer activity in the quarter is also reflected in activity-driven income, such as brokerage fee commissions. Total operating expenses amounted to SEK 388m, in line with the fourth quarter. Compared with the first quarter 2021, the 14 per cent increase in expenses was due the establishment of the new division. Net expected credit losses were positive in the quarter and amounted to SEK 1m. See page 8.
The division provides full banking and advisory services to private individuals and small and medium-sized corporate customers in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. From 2022, the division manages the Baltic banks' support functions for technology, business support and certain staff units.

1) Quarterly numbers are for end of quarter. Accumulated numbers are average for the period.
Most of the Covid-19 restrictions were removed and relatively stable development in economic activity was observed. However, attention turned to the geopolitical uncertainty arising from Russia's invasion of Ukraine with the ensuing sanctions on Russia and Belarus, and to the sharp increase in inflation on top of the already tight labour market. This put pressure on companies' profitability.
Despite competitive pressure from other banks, corporate credit exposure was generally stable where Estonia and Lithuania were able to increase lending to customers who were still willing to invest, while customer-driven foreign exchange activity grew.
Consumer confidence dropped across all Baltic states. Accelerating inflation placed pressure on household consumption. Activity in the residential property market dropped after the invasion of Ukraine as private investment decisions were initially postponed. However, household mortgages continued to grow towards the end of the quarter, despite the uncertain geopolitical situation.
Lending volumes to both private and corporate customers increased by 2 per cent in local currency during the quarter
and amounted to SEK 161bn (157). Deposits from corporate customers continued to grow but decreased from private customers in total for the first time in six years. Overall, deposits grew slightly in local currency to SEK 204bn (200).
Operating profit amounted to SEK 914m. Net interest income increased by 1 per cent in local currency despite the shorter quarter, partially due to increased lending volumes. Net fee and commission income decreased by 6 per cent in local currency, mainly due to seasonally higher performance fees in the prior quarter, despite a recovery in cards activity as Covid-19 restrictions were lifted. Net financial income increased by 63 per cent in local currency due mainly to higher market values of interest rate swaps in the banking book as well as customers' increased activity in foreign exchange. Operating expenses decreased by 13 per cent in local currency mainly due to one-time project costs in the prior quarter, and adjustments to long-term incentive programmes. Net expected credit losses were negligible. Recoveries and positive risk migration were offset by new provisions. See page 8.
The division offers life insurance solutions to private as well as corporate and institutional clients mainly in the Nordic and Baltic countries.

1) Quarterly numbers are for end of quarter. Accumulated numbers are average for the period.
The global turmoil that marked the quarter presented increased volatility in the financial markets, stabilising somewhat towards the end of the period. This affected the asset values and operating profit of the division negatively compared with the previous quarter.
Given the uncertainty in the market, advisory activity increased with customers reallocating insurance investments, mainly from equity to interest-bearing placements.
Total assets under management declined to SEK 465bn (505). The main reason was a decline in the market value of unit-linked assets under management which decreased by SEK 37bn to SEK 387bn. The net flow remained positive.
Sales volumes continued to be very strong although investment savings products were somewhat affected by the uncertainty in the financial markets compared with the fourth quarter. The occupational pension business in Sweden continued to develop strongly during the quarter, particularly through SEB's own distribution channels. The market share for the Swedish life insurance business, measured as new business, remained at 14.31) per cent in the last quarter of
2021, meaning that SEB held the number 1 position in the market for two consecutive quarters. Baltic sales were slightly lower than the fourth quarter, and SEB's market position in the region remained strong.
Operating profit decreased by SEK 217m compared with the previous quarter and amounted to SEK 492m. Net fee and commission income decreased by 12 per cent, due to the lower asset values in the unit-linked business and compared with the strong market performance in the fourth quarter. Net financial income decreased from SEK 293m to SEK 159m. This is a result from volatility in the equity markets affecting income from the traditional portfolios in Sweden and the Baltics as well as somewhat lower risk insurance result compared with the fourth quarter. Operating expenses decreased by 4 per cent.
The financial market development in the beginning of the quarter led to a lowering of the bonus rate in the Swedish traditional portfolios from 5 to 4 per cent as of March 1.

1) Quarterly numbers are for end of quarter. Accumulated numbers are average for the period.
The global turmoil that marked the quarter had large effects on the assets under management which decreased by SEK 100bn and total assets under management for the division amounted to SEK 1,215bn (1,315). Net flow was negative and amounted to SEK -18bn with outflows in most asset classes.
Within SEB Investment Management, the market environment affected the assets under management for SEBlabelled mutual funds which decreased by SEK 72bn during the quarter and amounted to SEK 759bn (831) with large negative effects in equity and mixed products but also some of the fixed income products. SEB-labelled mutual funds classified in line with Article 8 and 91 in the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) amounted to SEK 636bn (678) which represented 84 per cent of assets
under management (82). Of the total, SEK 617bn was classified as Article 8 and SEK 19bn as Article 9.
Within Institutional Asset Management, the quarter was also challenging given the current geopolitical and macroeconomic environment. Most clients were hesitant making major changes to their portfolios given the uncertainty. However, client interest in alternative products and sustainable strategies continued to be high.
Operating income amounted to SEK 948m (1,082) mainly driven by the lower performance fees after two seasonal items in the prior quarter and amounting to SEK 164m (285). Base commissions also decreased and amounted to SEK 754m (780) where specifically lower asset values caused a decrease of 6 per cent. Operating expenses increased slightly compared with the last quarter and amounted to SEK 330m (322). Operating profit amounted to SEK 618m (760).
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.

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. 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 also 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 p. 12.
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.

1) Venture capital activities designated at fair value through profit and loss.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.

1) Fair value gains and losses recognised in the income statement are included in Net financial income and Net other income.
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.
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. 4) Shift in implied volatility by 10 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.

The table shows gross carrying amounts for exposures on balance and nominal amounts for exposures off-balance divided by stage as a mean to put ECL allowances in context to overall exposure levels. For trade receivables a simplified approach based on past-due information is used to calculate loss allowances.

In the first quarter 2022, the gross exposures and ECL allowances in Stage 3 decreased mainly due to write-offs. Gross exposures in Stage 1 increased due to volume growth and currency effects, while gross exposures in Stage 2 increased due to currency effects and negative risk migration.
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.
The note continues on the next page.
In the first quarter 2022, the Covid-19-related portfolio overlays in the Corporate & Private Customers and Baltic divisions were maintained as the full effect of the pandemic may be delayed due to the government support measures, which have been or are being lifted, and the uncertainty around the impact on asset quality from the higher inflation and expected rate hikes. In the Large Corporates & Financial Institutions division, the model overlay for the oil portfolio was reduced and a new portfolio model overlay was added using ECJ to capture the uncertainty around effects of the high energy prices on a number of large corporates that have been identified to have a particularly high dependence on energy as well as others with direct or indirect implications from the war in Ukraine and subsequent sanctions on Russia. Including the portfolio model overlays made prior to 2020, the total model overlays on portfolio level amounted to SEK 2bn at the end of the quarter. SEK 1.2bn of these are in the Corporate & Private Customers and Baltic divisions and SEK 0.8bn in the Large Corporates & Financial Institutions 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. The model overlays are reevaluated quarterly in connection with assessment of net ECLs.
In the first quarter 2022 the parent company introduced "EBA guideline on the application of the definition of default under Article 178 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013". The regulation was implemented in the Baltic subsidiaries in the fourth quarter 2021. The impact on net expected credit losses from the implementation and new rules on a probation period before curing from default was not significant as of 31 March 2022.
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 for the first 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. Fiscal initiatives especially in defence and energy are expected to soften negative effects. The war is speeding up inflation and labour markets are expected not to weaken enough to persuade monetary central banks to hold off on monetary tightening. More and earlier key rate hikes are expected which will help bring about a clear decline in inflation during 2023. The GDP growth in the Baltic countries has been lowered even more in 2022 and 2023 despite the lower dependency on Russia during the last decade. The main challenge is the high inflation which erodes the purchasing power. A further description of the scenarios is available in the Nordic Outlook update published in March 2022.
The table below sets out the key assumptions of the base scenario.
| Base scenario assumptions | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Global GDP growth | 3.4% | 3.6% | 3.3% | |
| OECD GDP growth | 2.7% | 2.4% | 2.0% | |
| Sweden | ||||
| GDP growth | 2.0% | 3.0% | 2.0% | |
| Household consumption expenditure growth | 2.3% | 2.7% | 2.0% | |
| Interest rate (STIBOR) | 0.15% | 0.90% | 1.35% | |
| Residential real estate price growth | 0.0% | 2.0% | 2.0% | |
| Baltic countries | ||||
| GDP growth | 0.1% - 1.8% | 1.5% - 2.5% | 3.0% - 3.5% | |
| Household consumption expenditure growth | 0.8% - 2.1% | 1.6% - 4.2% | 3.0% - 4.0% | |
| Inflation rate | 9.0% - 11.5% | 0.2% - 3.6% | 2.0% - 2.1% | |
| Nominal wage growth | 6.8% - 8.4% | 6.5% - 7.8% | 5.0% - 6.0% | |
| Unemployment rate | 6.3% - 8.0% | 6.2% - 7.6% | 5.5% - 7.2% |
The negative scenario reflects the downside risks of the war and the aftermath of the pandemic. The war in Ukraine may escalate in a way that has more far-reaching economic consequences. It is also possible that the impact of current sanctions and trade tensions are underestimated. A stronger inflation surge would erode household purchasing power and weaken the profitability in many businesses. The positive scenario assumes a faster resolution of the Ukraine conflict and that the positive forces of the postpandemic normalisation is underestimated. This may apply to the demand side in the form of pent-up consumption and capital spending needs, and to the supply side where the flow of people back into the labour market may be stronger than expected.
The probabilities of the three scenarios have been adjusted from 65 to 60 per cent for the base scenario, from 20 to 25 per cent for the negative scenario and, for the positive scenario, the probability has been maintained at 15 per cent.
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. The update of the macroeconomic parameters and scenario weights led to an increase of total ECL allowances in the first 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 4 per cent respectively compared to the probability-weighted calculation.

2) The new Swedish risk tax on banks is presented in Interest expense in the parent company.
3) During the fourth quarter 2021 the parent company recognised impairment losses of SEK 1,486m for the investment in the subsidiary DSK Hyp AG. In total impairment losses of SEK 1,911m were recognised for the investment in DSK Hyp AG during 2021. During the first quarter 2022 the parent company recognised impairment losses of SEK 63m for the investment in SEB Corporate Bank in Ukraine and SEK 177m for SEB Bank in Russia. Under the current conditions it is not viable for SEB to maintain operations in Russia, and SEB has therefore started scaling these down. This will be done in a responsible and orderly manner and in accordance with regulatory and legal obligations.

The President declares that this financial report for the period 1 January 2022 through 31 March 2022 provides a fair overview of the parent company's and the group's operations, their financial position and results and describes material risks and uncertainties facing the parent company and the group.
Johan Torgeby President and Chief Executive Officer
To the Board of Directors in Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ), 502032-9081
We have reviewed the condensed financial report for Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ) as at March 31, 2022 and for the three-month 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.
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.
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.
