Second quarter January - June 2025 Stockholm 16 July 2025
Positively shaping the future. Today and for generations to come.

The second quarter was marked by exceptional circumstances, initially leading to significant market volatility. The unilateral US tariffs created considerable uncertainty and dampened both corporate and household confidence, which was reflected in weak levels of the Purchasing Managers' Index and consumer confidence indicators.
At the same time, the conflict in the Middle East escalated, increasing the risk of disruptions to global energy flows. Despite this, financial markets demonstrated notable resilience. Several stock exchanges reached new record highs, credit spreads tightened, long-term US interest rates stabilised, and oil prices rose less than anticipated.
In Sweden, however, the economic recovery progressed somewhat more slowly than expected. Weak growth combined with stabilised inflation prompted the Riksbank to lower the policy rate, while the market is divided on the pace and scope of further cuts.
At the same time, awareness grew across Europe of the need to strengthen collective security, including further banking resilience. NATO member states agreed on a significant increase in their defence and security spending. In this evolving landscape, where demand for investments in security, resilience, infrastructure, and defence is increasing, SEB has an important role to play as a bank. With focus on long-term relationships, responsible advice, and access to capital, we continue to support our clients over the long-term, in a global environment that remains highly uncertain and rapidly changing.
SEB delivered an overall solid financial result in the second quarter. Our net interest income decreased as interest rates continued to decline but the effect was partially offset by continued growth in lending and deposit volumes. Customers in the Corporate & Investment Banking division became increasingly active as the quarter evolved. This was particularly notable within investment banking, where SEB demonstrated its ability to capture a high share of flows and transactions but also in refinancing and deal related lending activities. We also saw net inflows of assets under management across our business segments, amounting to SEK 30bn. All in all, the operating income decreased only marginally compared to the previous quarter. Together with lower costs and lower net expected credit losses, operating profit increased by 4 per cent and, as a result, the return on equity increased to 15 per cent.
Overall credit quality remained robust. We reported a net expected credit loss level of 4 basis points, despite increasing portfolio model overlays by SEK 0.4bn, mainly related to uncertainty around global trade.
Our full-year cost target remains unchanged in local currencies but has decreased in SEK terms given the stronger Swedish krona.
As previously communicated, AirPlus is expected to reach profitability excluding implementation costs in 2025 and the integration proceeds according to plan. Business in all non-core markets has been discontinued, 100 per cent of planned 2025 FTE reductions have been signed and AirPlus' new IT platform is completed with customers migrated.
We continue to develop our business, with focus on growth and profitability in line with the 2025-2027 business plan. To create room for investments, we are focused on proactively reducing the growth in costs and setting the appropriate cost run-rate into 2026 and beyond. We are also placing greater emphasis on reaping the benefits of investments we have already made, such as leveraging AI to drive productivity gains.
We ended the quarter with a strong capital position and a buffer of 290 basis points. A share buyback programme of SEK 2.5bn was completed, and, on 16 July, the Board of Directors decided on a new quarterly share buyback programme of SEK 2.5bn. With this, the bank continues to execute on the SFSA approved SEK 10bn of share buybacks for 2025.
SEB's ongoing work to update its Internal Ratings-Based (IRB) models continues and as a result of dialogues with relevant authorities during the quarter, SEB expects that further work will be required before final approvals are received. SEB already holds 100bps of additional capital related to the ongoing IRB work since 2023.
Following these dialogues, the group's risk exposure amount (REA) is expected to increase by approximately 5 per cent, related to further work with the models for the Baltic subsidiaries. This increase is expected to be transitory and gradually implemented, likely commencing towards the end of 2025 or the beginning of 2026. SEB can absorb this increase within the management buffer.
The capital add-on and the increase in REA are expected to be in place until final model approvals are received, which is expected to take a number of years. The final outcome on REA is subject to regulatory approval.
In an unpredictable global environment, with geopolitics and digitalisation playing a central role, we continue to actively support our clients within the area of sustainability. During the quarter, SEB played a key advisory role when Elenia – one of Finland's largest electricity distributors – became the first Nordic company to launch a green financing framework aligned with the EU's new Green Bond Standard. I am also pleased that SEB received several positive testaments of customer satisfaction within Corporate & Investment Banking.
AI is central to SEB's ambition to strengthen the customer offering, increase productivity and future-proof the bank. As a strategically important step in this ambition, SEB has joined a consortium of industry-leading companies to build advanced AI infrastructure in Sweden, using the latest technology from Nvidia. This secures the bank's access to critical and cost-efficient infrastructure within data and AI, while also creating new opportunities to drive innovation and deliver on our business goals.
In an uncertain world, our focus is on supporting our customers with responsible advice and capital. I am proud of SEB's employees, whose dedication makes it possible to create long-term value for our customers, shareholders, and society at large.

Interest expense on deposits from the public decreased by SEK 792m in the second quarter due to lower interest rates. Deposit guarantee fees decreased and amounted to SEK 132m (134).
Other net interest income increased by SEK 150m, mainly due to lower interest expense on the wholesale funding.
Net fee and commission income remained stable and amounted to SEK 6,685m (6,705) in the second quarter. Year-on-year, net fee and commission income increased by 13 per cent.
With improved equity markets, assets under management were higher than in the previous quarter at the end of the quarter. However, the daily average of assets under management was lower than in the previous quarter. Gross fee income from custody and mutual funds, excluding performance fees, decreased to SEK 2,635m (2,689). Performance fees increased and amounted to SEK 57m (19).
Gross fee income from issuance of securities and advisory services increased to SEK 533m (512), as Investment Banking activity increased further during the quarter, reaching historically high levels.
Gross lending fee income increased to SEK 1,128m (917), as activity was higher compared to the previous quarter, mainly in refinancings and event-driven lending during the quarter.
Gross secondary market and derivatives income decreased from high levels to SEK 507m (611) due to lower customer activity driven by market uncertainty.
Net payment and card fees decreased to SEK 1,881m (1,959), mainly related to card fees, driven by lower activity due to the uncertain market environment.
Net life insurance commissions, related to the unit-linked insurance business, amounted to SEK 224m (245).
Net financial income decreased by 10 per cent to SEK 2,468m (2,743) in the second quarter, mainly in the Corporate & Investment Banking division. Net financial income from the divisions in total decreased and amounted to SEK 1,919m (2,496).

The change in market value of certain strategic holdings amounted to SEK 346m (-110) in the second quarter.
Net other income amounted to SEK 63m (-96). Unrealised valuation, buybacks and hedge accounting effects are included in this line item.
Comparative numbers (in parenthesis throughout the report) Unless otherwise stated:

1 The table specifies interest income from loans to the public and interest expense from deposits from the public, and other, without adjustments for internal transfer pricing.
Total operating expenses decreased by 3 per cent and amounted to SEK 7,982m (8,241). Year-on-year, total operating expenses increased by 8 per cent, partly related to AirPlus being part of the group from August 2024 and from higher salaries and IT investments.
Staff costs decreased by 4 per cent during the second quarter. The number of full-time equivalents increased to 19,102 (19,037), mainly driven by summer interns.
Other expenses decreased by 1 per cent mainly due to lower consulting and information services expenses. Supervisory fees amounted to SEK 65m (54).
Costs developed according to plan for 2025. The cost target for 2025 is outlined on p. 12.
Net expected credit losses amounted to SEK 295m (663), corresponding to a net expected credit loss level of 4 basis points (9). Reversals of provisions were offset by new provisions and an increase in portfolio model overlays to SEK 1.4bn (1.0). Overall asset quality remained stable.
For more information on credit risk, asset quality, net expected credit losses and ECL allowances, see p. 10 and notes 5, 10, 11 and 12.
Imposed levies decreased and amounted to SEK 882m (964). The risk tax on credit institutions in Sweden amounted to SEK 398m (398). The resolution fund fees, mainly related to the parent company, amounted to SEK 343m (326). The solidarity contribution levies for Lithuania and Latvia combined decreased to SEK 140m in the second quarter (238). The reductions to the two contribution levies are due to similar calculations, in which the outcomes are based on the difference between current net interest income, which has decreased, and average quarterly net interest income (over the last four years according to a specific formula), which has increased.
Income tax expense amounted to SEK 2,146m (2,129) with an effective tax rate of 20.6 per cent (21.4). The decrease in the effective tax rate is mainly explained by tax-exempt revaluations of investments in shares held for business purposes.
Return on equity for the second quarter amounted to 15.0 per cent (13.4).
Other comprehensive income amounted to SEK -1,701m (-542).
The value of SEB's pension plan assets continued to exceed the defined benefit obligations to the employees. Meanwhile, equity markets declined during the quarter and the discount rate used for the Swedish pension obligation was changed to 3.30 per cent (3.65). The net value of the defined benefit pension plans therefore decreased other comprehensive income by SEK -2,131m (617). The long-term inflation assumption remained unchanged at 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 433m (-1,168).

| Other, including funding and liquidity | 4 676 | 5 855 | -20 |
| Net interest income | 20 811 | 23 553 | -12 |
Interest income from loans to the public decreased by SEK 10,888m during the first six months mainly due to lower interest rate environment.
Interest expense on deposits from the public decreased by SEK 9,325m in the first six months, mainly due to the lower interest rate environment. The deposit guarantee fees amounted to SEK 266m (223).
Other net interest income decreased by SEK 1,179m from lower market rates and lower volumes related to liquidity at central banks, partly offset by lower funding costs for issued securities.
Net fee and commission income increased by 16 per cent in the first six months to SEK 13,390m (11,561).
With improved equity markets, the average assets under management were higher than in the previous period. Gross fee income from custody and mutual funds, excluding performance fees, increased by SEK 115m to SEK 5,323m (5,208). Performance fees decreased to SEK 77m (127).
Gross fee income from issuance of securities and advisory services increased to SEK 1,045m (740). Gross lending fees increased to SEK 2,046m (1,997). Gross secondary market and derivatives income increased to SEK 1,118m (974).
Net payment and card fees increased by SEK 1,376m to SEK 3,840m (2,464) compared to the first six months of 2024, mainly due to the integration of AirPlus.
Net life insurance commissions decreased to SEK 470m (537), due to lower underlying asset values from the unit-linked insurance business.
Net financial income decreased by 10 per cent to SEK 5,212m (5,819) compared to the first six months 2024.
Market uncertainty generated higher foreign exchange income while the strong Fixed Income activity levels during the first six months of 2024 were not repeated and Equities lower. Group Treasury's contribution declined compared to the first six months of 2024.
The fair value adjustments on derivative positions2 amounted to SEK -20m (-25).
The change in market value of certain strategic holdings amounted to SEK 237m (129) for the first six months.
Net other income amounted to SEK -32m (61). Unrealised valuation and hedge accounting effects are included in this line item.
Total operating expenses increased by 12 per cent and amounted to SEK 16,223m (14,542), largely driven by running expenses and implementation costs related to AirPlus.
Staff costs increased by 11 per cent during the first six months, related to AirPlus being part of the group from August 2024 and the increased number of full-time equivalents.
Supervisory fees amounted to SEK 119m (114).
Net expected credit losses amounted to SEK 959m (117), corresponding to a net expected credit loss level of 6 basis points (1). Reversals of provisions were offset by new provisions, an increase of portfolio model overlays and updated macroeconomic scenarios. The overall asset quality of the credit portfolio remained robust. Negative risk migration slowed down.
For more information on credit risk, asset quality, net expected credit losses and the portfolio model overlays, see p. 10 and notes 5, 10, 11 and 12.
Imposed levies decreased to SEK 1,846m (2,179). The main reason for the decrease is due to the reduction in the Lithuanian solidarity contribution levy which is calculated based upon the difference between current net interest income, which has decreased, and average quarterly net interest income (over the last four years according to a specific formula), which has increased. See note 6.
Income tax expense amounted to SEK 4,276m (5,237) with an effective tax rate of 21.0 per cent (21.7). The decrease in the effective tax rate is mainly explained by taxable extra dividend in the previous year from the Estonian subsidiary.
Return on equity for the first six months amounted to 14.2 per cent (17.3).
Other comprehensive income amounted to SEK -2,244m (5,135). The net value of the defined benefit pension plans contributed with SEK -1,514m (4,713) to 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 -735m (426).
1 The table specifies interest income from loans to the public and interest expense from deposits from the public, and other, without adjustments for internal transfer pricing.
2 Includes unrealised valuation adjustments from counterparty risk (CVA), own credit risk standing in derivatives (DVA), funding (FVA) and collateral (ColVa). Own credit risk for issued securities (OCA) is reflected in Other comprehensive income.
Total assets as of 30 June 2025, amounted to SEK 4,110bn, representing an increase of SEK 23bn from the end of the first quarter (4,087).

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 Report for 2024 (see page 46 and notes 39 and 40), in the Capital Adequacy and Risk Management Report for 2024 as well as the quarterly additional Pillar 3 disclosures. Further information is available in SEB's Fact Book that is published quarterly.

SEB's credit portfolio, which includes loans, contingent liabilities and derivatives, was largely unchanged in the second quarter at SEK 3,066bn (3,062).
The corporate segment increased by SEK 18bn, with underlying growth in all divisions. The real estate management portfolios, including housing co-operative associations, increased by SEK 8bn. The household mortgage portfolio increased by SEK 10bn, as both the Swedish and Baltic markets continued to grow modestly.
The overall asset quality remained stable. The Stage 2 exposures, gross, increased to SEK 138bn (125), driven by positive risk migration from Stage 3 while updated macroeconomic assumptions resulted in a migration from Stage 1. Stage 3 exposures, gross, decreased to SEK 9.1bn (13.4), due to positive risk migration to Stage 2, repayments, and write-offs against reserves. The share of Stage 3 loans, gross, was 0.36 per cent (0.45). Total ECL allowances amounted to SEK 7.1bn (7.5), of which SEK 1.4bn (1.0) was portfolio model overlays. The decrease in ECL allowances was due to write-offs against reserves, repayment and positive risk migration, partly offset by an increase in portfolio model overlays.
Notes 11-12 provide a more detailed breakdown of SEB's loan portfolio by industry and asset quality as well as corresponding ECL allowances.
Average VaR in the trading book (as used for capital adequacy measurement under the Internal Model Approach) was stable during the second quarter and amounted to SEK 132m (136). SEB 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 maintains a strong and diversified liquidity and funding position with good market access. The loan-to-deposit ratio, excluding repos and collateral margin, amounted to 101 per cent (100) per 30 June 2025.
Funding markets were functioning well despite heightened market volatility in the beginning of the quarter, following concerns over new US trade policies, and there was good demand from investors. New issuance during the quarter amounted to SEK 56bn, of which SEK 37bn in covered bonds, SEK 12bn in senior preferred bonds, SEK 3bn in senior non-preferred bonds, and SEK 5bn subordinated debt. SEK 34bn long-term funding matured during the quarter, including a USD 900m AT1 capital instrument that was called in May 2025. Outstanding short-term funding in the form of commercial paper and certificates of deposit increased by SEK 14bn in the second quarter.
Weighted High Quality Liquid Assets, defined according to the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) requirements, decreased to SEK 1,034bn at 30 June 2025 (1,051). The LCR was 130 per cent (132). The minimum regulatory requirement is 100 per cent. The net stable funding ratio (NSFR) requirement is that stable funding shall be at least 100 per cent of illiquid assets. Per 30 June 2025, SEB's NSFR was 112 per cent (113).
Moody's rates SEB's long-term senior unsecured debt at Aa3 reflecting the bank's strong asset quality and solid capitalisation, which is expected to demonstrate continued resilience despite the challenges in the real estate sector in Sweden and the economic downturn. In March 2025, Moody's affirmed SEB's rating and positive outlook.
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 May 2025.
In November 2024, S&P confirmed the rating of SEB's longterm senior unsecured debt at A+ and changed the outlook from stable to positive reflecting the strong execution of the bank's strategy leading to robust and predictable profitability over the past decade.
The total risk exposure amount (REA) increased by SEK 20bn during the second quarter, primarily driven by increased credit risk volumes. Model changes, including Article 3 add-ons, reduced REA by SEK 2bn, mainly from credit risk. Despite this, Article 3 add-ons increased by SEK 4bn, relating to both market risk and credit risk models.

| Total capital ratio, % | 21.7 | 21.2 | 22.5 |
| Leverage ratio, % | 4.9 | 4.9 | 5.4 |
SEB's Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio was 17.7 per cent (17.5) as of 30 June 2025. CET1 capital increased by SEK 5bn, mainly due to the quarterly net result. REA increased by SEK 20bn mainly driven by an increase in credit risk.
SEB's thirteenth share buyback programme amounting to SEK 2.5bn was completed on 14 July 2025. On 16 July 2025, the Board of Directors resolved to initiate a new programme, amounting to SEK 2.5bn, to be completed by 21 October 2025, at the latest.
SEB's applicable CET1 capital requirement and Pillar 2 guidance (P2G) per the end of the second quarter was 14.7 per cent (14.7). SEB's target is to have a buffer of 100 to 300 basis points above the regulatory 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. Per the end of the second quarter 2025, the buffer amounted to around 290 basis points (280).
SEB's leverage ratio was 4.9 per cent at the end of the quarter (4.9), whereas the leverage ratio requirement and P2G was 3.5 per cent (3.5). The Swedish FSA has informed SEB of its preliminary 2025 SREP (supervisory review and evaluation process) decision. According to the preliminary decision, SEB's Pillar 2 requirement (P2R) will decrease by around 0.1 percentage points. The leverage ratio-based P2G will decrease from 0.5 per cent to 0.15 percent. The Swedish FSA will make its final decision effective as of 30 September 2025.
Regarding SEB's ongoing work to update its Internal ratingsbased (IRB) models, please see page 2.
The long-term financial targets are unchanged in the business plan 2025-2027. 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 2025-2027 business plan continues to execute on the vision set out in our 2030 Strategy – to be a leading corporate and investment bank in northern Europe with international reach. Within business and retail banking in Sweden and the Baltics, we aim to be the number one universal digital retail bank, with a human touch in moments that matter. We want to be individuals' and family offices' first choice to support their wealth accumulation through a continued expansion of products and services.
Emphasis in this business plan is on areas where SEB has significant earnings potential. Efforts will center around two main goals: business growth and technology and efficiency.
Business growth: An integral part of the 2030 Strategy is to capture the long-term growth potential in our wealth and asset management business. We aim to grow our corporate franchise by focusing on increasing the share of wallet with existing clients in the Nordics and to selectively expand corporate banking in our home markets outside the Nordic countries. Within our retail business, we will focus on futureproofing and growing the business, within prioritised segments. Integrating and realising synergies from the acquisition of AirPlus will also be a key focus area.
Technology and efficiency: The focus within technology is a continued modernisation of the technology stack and to accelerate implementation of new technologies. Efforts will also target faster adoption of new technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI).
For 2025, we have a cost target of SEK 33bn, +/- SEK 0.3bn, assuming average 2024 FX rates. With average foreign exchange rates so far during 2025, the implied cost target is SEK 32.7bn. This cost target enables continued investments in our capabilities while we maintain a strong focus on consolidation and efficiencies. The implied range is mainly related to the ongoing integration of AirPlus. The long-term aim remains unchanged: to create shareholder value by accelerating income growth, driving earnings per share growth, increasing our profitability and future-proofing the business.
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 to 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.
The following table provides the aspirations for each of the divisions in SEB's new organisational structure.
| Return on business |
Cost/income ratio | |
|---|---|---|
| Divisions | equity | |
| Corporate & Investment Banking | >13% | <0.45 |
| Business & Retail Banking | >16% | <0.40 |
| Wealth & Asset Management | >40% | <0.45 |
| Baltic | >20% | <0.35 |
The currency effect decreased operating profit for the second quarter by SEK 99m. Loans to the public increased by SEK 6bn and deposits from the public decreased by SEK 12bn. Credit risk REA increased by SEK 2bn and the decrease of total assets was SEK 2bn.
During the quarter, SEB completed its most recent SEK 2.5bn share buyback programme, which was part of the SEK 10bn for which SEB has permission from the SFSA to repurchase own shares until January 2026.

Comparative figures for 2024 have been restated: Q2 SEK 125m, Jan-Jun 178m, and full-year 680m.
²⁾ Quarterly numbers are for end of quarter. Accumulated numbers are average for the period.
The second quarter was eventful with elevated geopolitical tension and global trade uncertainties driving high volatility and rapid changes in market sentiment. Clients initially adopted a cautious, wait-and-see approach, but as financial markets recovered, the sentiment changed in a positive direction with transaction activity picking up and investor appetite increasing.
Within Global Banking, clients continued to focus on refinancings but also utilised existing limits for financing purposes to a larger extent. The emphasis remained on working capital optimisation and liquidity, supporting demand for trade finance and supply chain financing-related products.
Investment Banking's activity recovered throughout the quarter. As financial markets improved following a turbulent start of the quarter, risk appetite increased resulting in higher activity levels in the latter part of the quarter. This was mainly seen in mergers and acquisitions, secondary placings and bond issuance, and several event-driven transactions. The improved market activity and the division's focus on capturing the structural growth of private capital supported the second quarter results.
Demand for risk management advisory continued to be high. Due to market uncertainty, Equities saw reduced activity with clients de-risking, while Fixed Income and Foreign Exchange had
elevated levels of flows and activity during the quarter. Clients' confidence in SEB was supported by the Prospera result for FX Sweden where SEB ranked number 1 for the fourth consecutive year, with an all-time high score.
Lending volumes increased by SEK 36bn to SEK 765bn, driven by a combination of clients drawing on existing limits and eventdriven lending. Deposit volumes decreased by SEK 32bn to SEK 821bn, following the seasonal dividend pattern. Assets under custody amounted to SEK 19,129bn (18,960).
Operating profit amounted to SEK 4,247m. Net interest income decreased by 4 per cent, mainly relating to changes in internal funding transfer pricing and interest from business equity, however an offsetting factor was the seasonal effect from the dividend season. Net fee and commission income increased by 5 per cent mainly driven by higher lending fees. Net financial income decreased by 29 per cent, due to a combination of Fixed Income, which had seen high activity in the previous quarter, and credit spreads, which affected fair value credit adjustment. Operating expenses decreased by 1 per cent. Net expected credit losses decreased to SEK 346m, corresponding to a net expected credit loss level of 8 basis points, as increased portfolio model overlays offset a net release of provisions.

¹⁾ Quarterly numbers are for end of quarter. Accumulated numbers are average for the period.
The demand for household mortgages, corporate lending and savings products all improved in the quarter. Competition remained high in both customer segments. Customer satisfaction remained high as customers continued to value SEB's improved service quality and competitive offerings.
In the private customer segment, mortgage lending increased to SEK 566bn (561). SEB's mortgage market share increased slightly. Mortgage portfolio margins decreased compared to the previous quarter due to sustained high competition, although there was an increase towards the end of the quarter.
Household deposits increased to SEK 259bn (247). Net interest margins on deposits remained stable compared to the previous quarter as policy rate cuts were mitigated by increased volumes.
The net inflow of fund savings was positive in the quarter. Assets under management also rose, driven by the positive stock market trends towards the end of the quarter.
Customers in the corporate segment were cautious. Corporate lending increased to SEK 273bn (270) while card-related lending decreased to SEK 32bn (34) primarily related to less corporate travel due to market uncertainty. Corporate deposits increased due to seasonal effects and amounted to SEK 186bn (182).
In total, lending volumes increased by SEK 5bn to SEK 886bn. Deposit volumes increased by SEK 16bn and amounted to SEK 445bn.
Operating profit amounted to SEK 2,730m. Net interest income fell by 5 per cent due to margin pressure and policy rate cuts. Net fee and commission income decreased by 3 per cent primarily related to fund and card fees. Total operating expenses decreased compared to the last quarter due to the reduction of costs in AirPlus, which are developing according to plan. Asset quality remained stable. Net expected credit losses were positive SEK 8m due to reversal of provisions.

¹⁾ Quarterly numbers are for end of quarter. Accumulated numbers are average for the period.
As of 1 January 2025, the divisions Private Wealth Management & Family Office, Asset Management and Life have been consolidated into one division – Wealth & Asset Management. Comparative figures have been restated for 2024.
The beginning of the second quarter was characterised by high market volatility, which had a negative impact on assets under management and operating income. However, towards the end of the quarter, asset values increased again. The financial turmoil led to increased customer activity and intensified the need for client communication and support with relevant advice.
Assets under management increased to SEK 2,744bn (2,669). Net sales amounted to SEK 30bn driven by institutional clients in Asset Management and positive net sales via the distribution in Private Wealth Management & Family Office and the Business & Retail Banking and Baltic divisions. The net inflow into SEB-labelled funds amounted to SEK 19.9bn in the quarter.
Life delivered another strong quarter, growing its weighted sales volumes by 4 per cent compared to last year to SEK 16.4bn. SEB's market share in the Swedish life insurance market for new
sales in the first quarter increased by 1.6 percentage points to 11.8 per cent and led to a second place in the market.
Within Private Wealth Management & Family Office, lending volumes increased by SEK 2bn to SEK 87bn, and deposit volumes increased by SEK 12bn to SEK 154bn.
Operating profit amounted to SEK 1,235m, a decrease of 10 per cent compared to the previous quarter. With net interest income holding up well due to higher volumes, the decrease was mainly driven by lower net fee and commission income that ended 7 per cent lower. Net financial income decreased by 12 per cent, mainly due to a lower insurance result. Operating expenses, including staff costs, remained at the same level as in the previous quarter. Net expected credit losses were positive SEK 12m in the second quarter.

¹⁾ Quarterly numbers are for end of quarter. Accumulated numbers are average for the period.
Economic activity was mixed in the Baltic region, with Lithuania growing strongly, while Estonia and Latvia were more subdued. The labour markets remained stable and with decreasing interest rates, borrowers reacted positively which resulted in an upswing in housing demand, higher property prices and an increase of 3 per cent in local currency in lending to household customers. The lower interest rate environment also encouraged companies to resume investing. Exporters were resilient despite escalating global tensions, and manufacturing output improved.
Lending to corporate customers increased by 3 per cent in local currency, the highest quarterly growth since the pandemic, with Lithuanian corporate customers contributing with the largest increase and Estonian corporate customers showing resilience despite the challenging macroeconomic environment.
Total lending amounted to SEK 212bn (201), an increase of 3 per cent in local currency.
Deposits from household customers increased in all countries, while the decrease in corporate deposits in Lithuania was somewhat offset by the increase in Estonia. Together, total deposit volumes amounted to SEK 268bn (262), a marginal decrease in local currency. The share of savings and term deposit accounts in relation to total deposits decreased slightly to 27 per cent (28).
Net inflow in assets under management was relatively stable compared to the previous quarter and amounted to SEK 1.5bn.
Operating profit amounted to SEK 1,767m. Net interest income decreased by 6 per cent in local currency, mainly due to falling interest rates which led to lower deposit margins and lower income from excess liquidity, plus the continued competitive pressure on lending margins.
Net fee and commission income increased by 6 per cent in local currency, mainly due to seasonally higher card and payment commissions. Net financial income increased by 76 per cent in local currency following higher valuations of government bonds in the liquidity portfolio.
Operating expenses increased by 4 per cent in local currency, driven mainly by the annual salary review reflecting the strong labour market and wider wage inflation prevalent in the region. The Latvian and Lithuanian solidarity contribution levies amounted to SEK 140m in total, a decrease of 39 per cent in local currency, as a result of the decreasing net interest income. Net expected credit losses amounted to positive SEK 32m due to reversal of provisions.

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 Corporate Reporting Board have been applied.

SEB has made restatements to comparative figures following changes in SEB's new organisation, changes to the presentation of the Income Statement and the Balance Sheet as of 1 January 2025. SEB has as of 1 January 2025 consolidated the divisions Private Wealth Management & Family Office, Asset Management and Life into one division – Wealth & Asset Management. The restatement also includes a changed presentation of amortisation
of premium or discount for inflation-linked bonds, which was previously presented within Net financial income, and now is in its entirety presented in Net interest income as from 1 January 2025. From 1 January 2025, SEB has also changed the presentation of portfolio hedges attributable to mortgage loans (assets). The fair value adjustment for the hedged item previously presented as liabilities is moved to a separate line item next to the hedged asset. The restatements do not affect SEB's net profit or equity for these years.
As of 1 January 2025, the group applies the following amendment to IFRS standards: Lack of Exchangeability, amendments to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates. The amendments have not had an effect on the group's consolidated financial statements.
The parent company's accounting principles have been amended regarding the change in fair value relating to change in own credit risk on financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss (fair value option). From 2025 as a result of a change in legislation, the accounting treatment will be harmonised with the SEB group's and hence the change in own credit risk will be recognised in other comprehensive income.
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 SEB's Annual Report 2024.

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 and 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.
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, 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. The largest open market risk within Level 3 financial instruments remains in the traditional life insurance investment portfolios within the insurance business.

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. Further details about SEB´s fair value measurement can be found in note 35 in the Annual Report 2024.

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 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 traditional insurance 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 quarter, Stage 1 exposures, gross, increased to SEK 2,921bn (2,913). ECL allowances in Stage 1 increased due to an increase of portfolio model overlays and volume growth.
The increase in Stage 2 exposures, gross, to SEK 138bn (125), was driven by positive risk migration from Stage 3 while updated macroeconomic assumptions resulted in a migration from Stage 1. Stage 2 ECL allowances increased due to new provisions and an increase of portfolio model overlays.
Stage 3 exposures, gross, decreased to SEK 9.1bn (13.4), due to positive risk migration to Stage 2, repayments, and write-offs against reserves. This also led to a decrease in ECL allowances in Stage 3. The share of Stage 3 loans, gross, was 0.36 per cent (0.45).
Total ECL allowances amounted to SEK 7.1bn (7.5), of which SEK 1.4bn (1.0) in portfolio model overlays. The decrease in ECL allowances was due to write-offs against reserves, repayment and positive risk migration, partly offset by an increase in portfolio model overlays.
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.
Compared to the previous quarter, downward revisions were made to macroeconomic growth forecasts to reflect the potential impact of US trade tariffs. The base scenario assumes that the US's politically imposed uncertainty causes businesses, households and financial markets to hesitate, leading to slower growth, volatile markets and a weaker US dollar. The effects will be hardest on the US and Chinese economies, but growth-related and financial spillover effects will be global. Global GDP is expected to be below 3 per cent in 2025 and 2026. Fiscal stimulus is expected to support European growth, as the impact from the trade war is expected to be more limited, and central banks will continue to cut key interest rates.
The main macroeconomic assumptions in the base scenario are shown in the table below.
| Base scenario assumptions | 2025 | 2026 | 2027 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Global GDP growth | 2.8% | 2.8% | 3.1% |
| OECD GDP growth | 1.3% | 1.4% | 2.0% |
| Sweden | |||
| GDP growth | 1.6% | 2.9% | 2.6% |
| Household consumption expenditure growth | 1.6% | 2.9% | 2.7% |
| Interest rate (STIBOR) | 2.10% | 2.10% | 2.10% |
| Residential real estate price growth | 3.0% | 4.0% | 4.0% |
| Baltic countries | |||
| GDP growth | 1.6% - 2.7% | 1.9% - 2.8% | 2.3% - 3.0% |
| Household consumption expenditure growth | 1.5% - 3.4% | 2.4% - 3.0% | 2.5% - 3.0% |
| Inflation rate | 3.4% - 4.7% | 2.2% - 3.2% | 2.0% - 2.7% |
| Nominal wage growth | 6.5% - 8.5% | 6.0% - 7.5% | 5.5% - 6.2% |
| Unemployment rate | 6.6% - 7.2% | 6.3% - 6.8% | 6.2% - 6.3% |
The negative scenario is connected to US policies. Tariffs, uncertainty and volatility have led to turmoil in financial markets, including doubts about the role of the dollar, high US stock market valuations and whether US government borrowing will be sustainable. A negative domino effect from tariffs and financial market uncertainty could make the global downturn more severe. The positive scenario assumes certain upsides to the growth outlook if tariff negotiations ultimately lead to lower tariffs and if global uncertainty can heal, at the same time as European stimulus measures have a greater positive impact than expected. A further description of the scenarios is available in the Nordic Outlook update published in May 2025.
The probability for the base scenario was lowered to 55 per cent (60), the probability for the negative scenario was raised to 25 per cent (20) and was unchanged at 20 per cent for the positive scenario.
The update of the macroeconomic scenarios in the quarter resulted in an increase of ECL allowances by SEK 51m. Should the positive and negative macroeconomic 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.
SEB uses models and expert credit judgement (ECJ) for calculating ECL allowances. The degree of expert credit judgement depends on model outcome, materiality and information available. ECJ may be
applied to incorporate factors not captured by the models, either on counterparty or portfolio level.
Model overlays on portfolio level have been made using ECJ. In the second quarter, the portfolio model overlays were increased to SEK 1.4bn (1.0). An increase was made in the Corporate & Investment Banking division, mainly reflecting uncertainty around effects from new tariffs and trade war together with the resulting broader investment and economic slowdown. The portfolio model overlays predominantly reflect the risks from the US tariffs and rising uncertainty, continued volatile geopolitical landscape marked by military, political and economic conflicts. SEK 0.7bn (0.3) of the portfolio model overlays related to the Corporate & Investment Banking division, SEK 0.4bn (0.4) to the Business & Retail Banking division and SEK 0.3bn (0.3) to the Baltic division.
The portfolio model overlays are determined through top-down scenario analysis, including various scenarios of risk migration of complete portfolios. This is combined with bottom-up individual customer analysis of larger corporate customers as well as analysis and stress tests of sectors specifically exposed to economic distress, including higher interest rates and inflation risks. The portfolio model overlays are re-evaluated quarterly in connection with the assessment of ECL allowances.
SEB's measurement of ECL allowances and related assumptions according to IFRS 9 can be found in notes 1 and 17 in SEB's Annual Report for 2024.

²⁾ In the second quarter, additional risk exposure amount according to Article 3, Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 (CRR) increased by SEK 2bn for credit risk and SEK 2bn for market risk. Risk exposure amount according to Article 3 amounts to a total of SEK 13bn, whereof SEK 10bn is related to credit risk and SEK 3bn to market risk.
³⁾ 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 the third quarter 2021 for risk-weight floors in the Norwegian mortgage portfolio as well as for Norwegian corporate exposures collateralised by immovable property. As from the third quarter 2023 the capital requirements for risk-weight floors on exposures secured by commercial real estate in Sweden was moved from Pillar 2 to Pillar 1.
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.

To the Board of Directors in Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ), org.nr 502032-9081
We have reviewed the condensed financial report for Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ) as of June 30, 2025 and for the six-month period ending as at this date, which can be found on page 5-11 and 13-45 in this document, containing income statement, statement of comprehensive income, balance sheet, statement of changes in equity, statement of cash flow, notes and other condensed information in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act for Credit Institutions and Securities Companies. 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.
