From 2023, the Storebrand Group reports its official IFRS financial statements in accordance with IFRS 17 and IFRS 9, which replaced IFRS 4 and IAS 39 on 1 January 2023. A short comment on the financial performance under IFRS is given in the subsection below and detailed disclosure is available under the "Financial statements Storebrand Group" section. For the remaining part of the report, Storebrand continues to report and comment on the alternative income statement in parallel with IFRS statements of financial position. The alternative income statement is based on the statutory accounts of all the main subsidiaries and is an approximation of the cash generated in the period, while the IFRS statement includes profit-and-loss effects of updated estimates and assumptions about the timing of future cash flows and insurance services provided2 .
Group profit before amortisation and tax was NOK 1,807m (NOK 1,396m) in the 3rd quarter and NOK 4,547m (NOK 5,120m) year to date. Storebrand Group's net insurance service result was NOK 929m (NOK 474m) in the 3rd quarter and NOK 2,244m (NOK 1,702m) year to date. The improved insurance service result primarily reflects favourable developments in contracts measured using the premium allocation approach and positive market conditions benefiting the public sector. In general, higher volatility is expected under IFRS 17 because of the measurement models applied.
Storebrand Group's cash equivalent earnings before amortisation were NOK 1,586m (NOK 1,507m) in the 3rd quarter and NOK 4,180m (NOK 4,838m) year to date. The strong result reflects continued underlying growth across the business, improved insurance results and a solid financial result. The comparable numbers for 2024 include the net gain of NOK 1,047m from the divestment of Storebrand Health Insurance.
Total fee and administration income amounted to NOK 2,124m (NOK 1,971m) in the 3rd quarter and NOK 6,191m (NOK 5,677m) year to date, corresponding to an increase of 8% compared to the same quarter last year and an increase of 9% year to date. The increase in fee and administration income was driven by the savings segment, which recorded growth across all sub-segments. The acquisition of AIP Management within Asset Management also had a positive effect.
The Insurance result amounted to NOK 697m (NOK 483m) in the 3rd quarter and NOK 1,802m (NOK 1,246m) year to date. The result improvement is mainly attributed to the Retail segment, where repricing measures and continued volume growth led to significant improvement in results. Corporate insurance demonstrated sustained growth, whereas smaller portfolios recorded high disability-related claims.
1 The income statement is based on reported IFRS results for the individual group companies. The statement differs from the official accounts layout.
2 Due to the fundamental differences between IFRS 17 and the alternative income statement, it is not possible to reconcile the numbers.

4 Adjusted for the net gain from the divestment of Storebrand Health Insurance in the 2nd quarter last year.
The total combined ratio for the Insurance segment was 89% (94%) in the 3rd quarter and 92% (96%) year to date. Uncertainty persists regarding disability development in the Norwegian society, and Storebrand is closely monitoring the situation.
The Group's operational cost amounted to NOK -1,730m (NOK -1,509m) in the 3rd quarter and NOK -5,148m (NOK -4,472m) year to date. The increase is mainly attributed to inclusion of acquired business (AIP), higher commissions driven by increased insurance sales, investment in growth and digital initiatives.
Overall, the cash equivalent earnings from operations amounted to NOK 1,091m (NOK 944m) in the 3rd quarter and NOK 2,844m (NOK 2,451m) year to date, up 16% year on year. The year-on-year improvement is mainly attributed to the Insurance segment, where P&C results improved significantly compared to the corresponding period last year.
The 'financial items and risk result' amounted to NOK 495m (NOK 563m) in the 3rd quarter and NOK 1,335m (NOK 2,387m) year to date. Solid results for the company portfolios, profit sharing and revaluation of earnout liabilities for the AIP Management acquisition had a positive effect in the quarter. The comparable numbers for 2024 year to date include the net gain of NOK 1,047m from the divestment of Storebrand Health Insurance. Net profit sharing amounted to NOK 184m (NOK 181m) in the 3rd quarter and NOK 442m (NOK 369m) year to date. The risk result amounted to NOK -21m (NOK 3m) in the 3rd quarter and NOK 36m (NOK 57m) year to date. The risk result is negatively affected by weak development within disability.
Amortisation of intangible assets from acquired business amounted to NOK -128m (NOK -73m) in the 3rd quarter and NOK -283m (NOK -218m) year to date. The increase compared with Q3 2024 is mainly due to a NOK 50m write-down of intangible assets related to the Capital Investment acquisition.
Tax expenses for the Group amounted to NOK -269m (NOK - 141m) in the 3rd quarter and NOK -576m (NOK -501m) year to date. The quarterly effective tax rate was 18%. The estimated normal tax rate is 19-22%, depending on each legal entity's contribution to the Group result. Currency fluctuations, hedging and varying tax rates in different countries of operation impact the quarterly tax rate.
The Group reports its cash equivalent earnings by business segment. For a more detailed description, see the sections by segment in the report.
The solvency ratio was 195% at the end of the 3rd quarter, a decrease of 5 percentage points from the 2nd quarter. A strong post tax result contributed positively to the solvency position, but this was offset by the initiated NOK 750m buyback program and a negative effect from regulatory assumptions. Increased allocation to equities, with higher expected returns and a higher capital requirement, had a negative impact. The solvency ratio continues to be well above the threshold for overcapitalisation of 175%.
Storebrand submitted an internal model application to the Norwegian FSA in the 2nd quarter of 2024.
Storebrand has approval from the FSA to conduct NOK 1.5bn in share buybacks for the full year, subject to a solvency ratio above 175%. In the first nine months of 2025, Storebrand executed NOK 1,158m in share buybacks, with NOK 408m completed during the 3rd quarter. NOK 342m of share buybacks remains to be completed in the fourth quarter. The ambition is to return NOK 12bn of excess capital by the end of 2030 as the run-off of the guaranteed business releases capital.

* The RoE is calculated based on the profit for the last 12 months, after tax and before amortisation of intangible assets, divided on a pro forma distribution of the IFRS equity less hybrid capital per line of business (opening balance). The capital is allocated based on the capital consumption under SII and CRD IV adjusted for positive capital contribution to own funds. The segments Savings, Insurance and Other are calibrated at 150% of the capital requirement (before own funds contribution), while the remainder of the capital is allocated to the Guaranteed segment. The methodology is an estimation of ROE pr. reporting segment.
** The pay-out ratio is based on the cash-result after tax and amortisation
The Savings segment includes savings products without interest rate guarantees. The segment consists of Defined Contribution pensions in Norway and Sweden under the Unit Linked products, as well as asset management and retail banking products.

The Savings segment reported cash equivalent earnings before amortisation of NOK 815m (NOK 785m) in the 3rd quarter and NOK 2,109m (NOK 1,982m) year to date, corresponding to an increase of 4% compared to the same quarter last year and an increase of 6% year to date.
Fee and administration income in the Savings segment amounted to NOK 1,825m (NOK 1,660m) in the 3rd quarter and NOK 5,298m (NOK 4,721m) year to date, corresponding to 9% year-on-year growth after adjustment for NOK/SEK currency effects. In Asset Management, fee and administration income grew by 11% compared to the same quarter last year. Excluding the impact of the AIP Management acquisition, growth was 1%. Performance-based income totalled NOK 90m for the quarter, in line with the third quarter of 2024. In Unit Linked Norway, income grew by 7% compared to the same quarter last year. Structural growth in the underlying business, together with favorable market conditions, supported the performance. In Sweden, fee and administration income increased by 5% compared with the same quarter last year, primarily reflecting continued reserve growth offset by lower fee margins. In Retail Banking, including Kron and savings distribution, income grew by 14% compared to the corresponding quarter last year. Volume growth supported the development, while net interest margins narrowed, partly due to lower market interest rates.
Operational costs amounted to NOK -1,103m (NOK -948m) in the 3rd quarter and NOK -3,278m (NOK -2,818m) year to date. The increase in costs primarily reflected the AIP acquisition, growing business activities, inflationary pressures, and salary increases.
The financial result was NOK 94m (NOK 73m) in the 3rd quarter and NOK 89m (NOK 80m) year to date. A NOK 70m positive effect in the quarter arose from the revaluation of earnout liabilities related to the AIP Management acquisition.
Total assets under management stood at NOK 1,561bn at the end of the 3rd quarter compared to NOK 1,469bn at the end of the 4th quarter last year. The increase was driven by positive market returns and NOK 16bn of net inflows in the 3rd quarter.
Assets under management in Unit Linked increased to NOK 496bn (NOK 449bn) from NOK 475bn last quarter. Unit Linked premiums rose to NOK 7.9bn (NOK 7.6bn) in the 3rd quarter. In the Norwegian Unit Linked business, AUM increased to NOK 273bn (NOK 243bn) from NOK 262bn last quarter. Net inflow amounted to NOK 0.8bn (NOK 2.2bn). In the Swedish Unit Linked business, AUM increased by NOK 10bn in the 3rd quarter and amounted to NOK 224bn at end of the period. Net inflow in Sweden amounted to NOK 2.2bn (NOK 1.9bn) in the 3rd quarter.
The bank lending portfolio increased by NOK 2.9bn to NOK 95.3bn during the quarter.

Insurance premiums f.o.a. amounted to NOK 2,475m (NOK 2,044m) in the 3rd quarter and NOK 7,140m (NOK 5,874m) year to date, corresponding to an increase of 21% compared to the same quarter last year and an increase of 22% year to date. A significant portion of the portfolio was repriced during the past year. The cost ratio was 17% (17%), with cost amounting to NOK -416m (NOK -351m) in the 3rd quarter and NOK -1,245m (NOK -1,014m) year to date.
For the segment overall, cash equivalent earnings before amortisation amounted to NOK 364m (NOK 214m) in the 3rd quarter and NOK 796m (NOK 440m) year to date. The total combined ratio was 89% (94%) in the 3rd quarter and 92% (96%) year to date. The combined ratio improvement resulted from several actions, including repricing across segments. Uncertainty persists regarding disability development in Norwegian society, and Storebrand is closely monitoring developments.
Within 'Retail insurance', strong growth continued with premiums f.o.a. up by 22% in the 3rd quarter year-over-year. The growth is attributed to significant price increases and continued volume growth. The cash equivalent earnings before amortisation were NOK 272m (NOK 112m) in the 3rd quarter and NOK 530m (NOK 201m) year to date. Within Retail, P&C products had a positive development, and individual life experienced stable results. The claims ratio was 65% (75%) in the 3rd quarter and 70% (78%) year to date. Operational cost increased to NOK -276m (NOK -225m) in the 3rd quarter and NOK -825m (NOK -649m) year to date, mainly due to higher agent commissions driven by strong sales. Agent commissions increased by NOK 35m compared to Q3 2024. Altogether, the segment delivered a combined ratio of 85% (94%) in the 3rd quarter and 91% (98%) year to date.
In 'Corporate insurance', premiums f.o.a. increased by 19% year-over-year in the 3rd quarter. Due to a continued adverse disability development in Norway, prices were significantly increased with effect from 2025. 'Corporate insurance' reported cash equivalent earnings before amortisation of NOK 92m (NOK 102m) in the 3rd quarter and NOK 266m (NOK 239m) year to date. The Swedish business delivered strong results, whereas some smaller portfolios in Norway recorded high disabilityrelated claims. The establishment of the corporate P&C business is still in the ramp-up phase and had a moderate positive effect on the results. In sum, 'Corporate insurance' reported a combined ratio of 94% (92%) in the 3rd quarter and 94% (94%) year to date.
The Insurance investment portfolio, which is primarily invested in fixed-income securities with short to medium duration, achieved a return of 1.1% in the 3rd quarter.
The Insurance segment offers a broad range of products to the retail market in Norway, as well as to the corporate market in both Norway and Sweden. Overall growth in annual portfolio premiums amounted to 20% compared to the same quarter last year. Growth in 'Retail insurance' amounted to 26% and 'Corporate insurance' grew by 12%. Storebrand has an ambition to grow the insurance business, particularly within P&C. As of the 3rd quarter, 58% of the insurance portfolio was accounted for by 'Retail insurance'. Storebrand held a market share of 7.6% within Norwegian retail P&C as of the 2nd quarter compared to 6.8% in the same quarter last year adjusted for divested business, according to the latest market data.

The Guaranteed Pension segment includes long-term pension savings products that give customers a guaranteed rate of return, but most products are closed for new business and are in run-off. The area includes defined benefit pensions in Norway and Sweden, paid-up policies, public sector occupational pensions, and individual capital and pension insurance.

Guaranteed pension achieved cash equivalent earnings before amortisation of NOK 316m (NOK 346m) in the 3rd quarter and NOK 933m (NOK 941m) year to date.
Fee and administration income amounted to NOK 387m (NOK 385m) in the 3rd quarter and NOK 1,150m (NOK 1,163m) year to date. The development reflects a positive contribution from public sector pensions and slightly reduced income from segments in long-term run-off.
Operational cost amounted to NOK -234m (NOK -223m) in the 3rd quarter and NOK -696m (NOK -649m) year to date. The development reflects increased activity in public sector pension in Norway and for capital-light guaranteed products in Sweden.
The cash equivalent earnings from operations fell to NOK 153m (NOK 162m) in the 3rd quarter and NOK 454m (NOK 514m) year to date.
The risk result was NOK -21m (NOK 3m) in the 3rd quarter and NOK 36m (NOK 57m) year to date. Overall, the risk result was weaker in the quarter. Risk results for paid-up policies and for Sweden were negligible, while the defined-benefit business in Norway reported a weak result, driven mainly by a strengthening of disability reserves. Net profit sharing amounted to NOK 184m (NOK 181m) in the 3rd quarter and NOK 442m (NOK 369m) year to date. The solid profit sharing in the quarter reflects positive financial markets and a solid buffer capital position.
The majority of the guaranteed products are in long term runoff. As of the 3rd quarter, customer reserves of guaranteed pensions amounted to NOK 303bn. This represented a stable development in the quarter. A growth area for Storebrand is public sector occupational pensions. Several tender processes are ongoing in this market. Overall, the net flow of guaranteed pensions amounted to NOK -2.9bn in the quarter (NOK -2.8bn in Q3 2024).
Storebrand's strategy is to maintain solid buffer capital levels in order to secure customer returns and shield shareholder's equity during turbulent market conditions. Buffer capital stood at NOK 35.0bn (NOK 31.0bn) as of the 3rd quarter. As a share of guaranteed reserves, buffer capital levels amounted to 8.2% (7.5%) in Norway and 26.6% (23.5%) in Sweden. This does not include off-balance sheet excess values of bonds at amortised cost, which at the end of the 3rd quarter amounted to a deficit of NOK -12.7bn (NOK -10.4bn).

| Cash equivalent earnings before amortisation |
The Other segment reported cash equivalent earnings before amortisation of NOK 91m (NOK 162m) in the 3rd quarter and 343m (NOK 1,476m) year to date. The comparable numbers for 2024 include the net gain of NOK 1,047m from the divestment of Storebrand Health Insurance. The result in the quarter was driven by the financial result, where the contribution from returns in the company portfolios was robust.
The operational cost amounted to NOK -68m (NOK -65m) in the 3rd quarter and -200m (NOK -212m) year to date.
The financial result in the segment amounted to NOK 155m in the 3rd quarter and 528m year to date. The underlying result was mainly driven by returns in the company portfolios of SPP and Storebrand Life Insurance, and the financial result of Storebrand ASA. The company portfolios are primarily invested in interest-bearing securities in Norway and Sweden. The Norwegian company portfolio achieved a return of 1.1% in the 3rd quarter and 3.6% year to date, while the Swedish company portfolio reported a return of 0.8% in the 3rd quarter and 2.5% year to date. The company portfolios in the Norwegian and Swedish life insurance companies and the holding company amounted to NOK 28.4bn at the end of the quarter.
Storebrand is funded by a combination of equity and debt. Interest expenses for the Group amounted to NOK -180m in the quarter excluding hedging effects. The funding cost in Storebrand Bank is reported as part of the bank in the Savings segment.
Continuous monitoring and active risk management is a core area of Storebrand's business. Risk and solidity are both followed up on at the Group level and in the legal entities. Regulatory requirements for financial strength and risk management follow the legal entities to a large extent. The section is thus divided up by legal entities.
The solvency ratio was 195% at the end of the 3rd quarter, a decrease of 5 percentage points from the 2nd quarter. A strong post tax result contributed positively to the solvency position, but was offset by the initiated NOK 750m buyback program and a negative effect from regulatory assumptions. Increased allocation to equities, with higher expected return and a higher capital requirement, had a negative impact. The solvency ratio continues to be well above the threshold for overcapitalisation of 175%.

The Group's quarterly Cash ROE¹ (annualised) was 19% in the 3rd quarter, driven by a strong result. The current Cash ROE target is 14%.
Storebrand ASA held liquid assets of NOK 3.9bn at the end of the 3rd quarter. Storebrand ASA's total interest-bearing liabilities were NOK 1.0bn at the end of the 3rd quarter. In addition, the company has an unused revolving credit facility of EUR 200m.
Storebrand ASA owned 9,395,174 of the company's own shares at the end of the 3rd quarter, representing 2.16% of the share capital. Shares purchased under buyback programs will normally be redeemed, subject to permission from NFSA and Storebrand's AGM.

■ Buffer capital in % of customer reserves Norway
The buffer fund is distributed across individual contracts and can be used to cover the difference between contracts' annual interest guarantee and achieved investment return, including when returns are negative. Storebrand can set aside all or part of a surplus on the return to a buffer fund. Furthermore, buffer capital can be allocated to the customer as surplus.
The buffer fund amounted to NOK 16.3bn at the end of the 3rd quarter, corresponding to 8.2% of customer funds with a guarantee. The buffer fund increased by NOK 0.4bn in the quarter and NOK 2.2bn year to date. The excess value of bonds and loans valued at amortised cost decreased by NOK 1.6bn during the quarter and increased by NOK 0.5bn year to date, amounting to NOK -12.7bn at the end of the quarter. The excess value of bonds and loans at amortised cost is not included in the financial statements of Storebrand Livsforsikring AS.

Customer assets increased by NOK 12.7bn during the quarter and NOK 32.9bn year to date, amounting to NOK 487bn at the end of the 3rd quarter. Of this, customer assets within non-guaranteed savings increased by NOK 11.0bn during the quarter and NOK 24.3bn year to date, amounting to NOK 273bn at the end of the 3rd quarter. Guaranteed customer assets
increased by NOK 1.7bn during the quarter and NOK 8.5 year to date, amounting to NOK 214bn at the end of 3rd quarter. The flexible buffer fund introduced in 2024 has led to increased allocation to assets with higher risk such as equities, with a corresponding positive effect on expected returns for customers and shareholders.

Conditional bonuses in % of customer funds with guarantee
The buffer capital (conditional bonuses) amounted to SEK 17.6bn at the end of the 3rd quarter, an increase of SEK 0.8bn during the quarter and SEK 1.2bn year to date.

Q3 2024 Q4 2024 Q1 2025 Q2 2025 Q3 2025
Customer assets increased by SEK 9.3bn during the quarter and SEK 6.2bn year to date, amounting to SEK 291bn at the end of the 3rd quarter 2025. Of this, customer assets within nonguaranteed savings increased by SEK 9.5bn during the quarter and SEK 6.2bn year to date, amounting to SEK 211bn at the end of the 3rd quarter. Guaranteed customer assets decreased by SEK 0.3bn during the quarter and was stable year to date, amounting to SEK 81bn at the end of 3rd quarter.
Loans outstanding increased by NOK 3.4bn during the 3rd quarter. The home mortgage portfolio managed on behalf of Storebrand Livsforsikring AS decreased by NOK 0.5bn in the quarter. The combined portfolio of loans in Storebrand Bank and Storebrand Livsforsikring increased by NOK 2.9bn in the quarter and NOK 8.8bn year to date.
The Storebrand Bank Group had own funds of NOK 6.2bn at the end of the 3rd quarter. The capital adequacy ratio was 23.5% at the end of the quarter, up from 22.1% at end 2024, while the Core Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio stood at 19.6%, compared to 18.0% at end year 2024.
Storebrand delivers financial security and freedom to individuals and businesses. The Group aims to make it easy for customers to make good financial decisions for the future by offering sustainable solutions: Together we create a future to look forward to.
Storebrand's strategy gives a compelling combination of capitallight growth in the front book, i.e. the growth areas of the "future Storebrand", and capital return from a maturing back book of guaranteed pensions.
The Group aims to (a) be the leading provider of Occupational Pensions in both Norway and Sweden, (b) continue a strategy to build a Nordic Powerhouse in Asset Management and (c) ensure fast growth as a challenger in the Norwegian retail market for financial services. The combined capital, cost and revenue synergies across the Group provide a solid platform for profitable growth and value creation.
In Norway, the market for Defined Contribution pensions is growing structurally due to the young nature of the product. High single-digit growth in Defined Contribution premiums and double-digit growth in assets under management are expected during the next years. Storebrand aims to defend its strong position in the market, while also focusing on cost leadership and improved customer experience through end-to-end digitalisation. As a leading occupational pension provider in the private sector, Storebrand also has a competitive pension offering to the Norwegian public sector, a large and fast-growing market. It is currently dominated by one player and represents a potential additional source of growth and revenue for Storebrand.
In Sweden, SPP is a market challenger within the non-unionised pensions segment, with an edge in digital and ESG-enhanced solutions. SPP is a significant profit contributor to the Storebrand Group, supported by an ongoing capital release from its guaranteed products in run-off.
Guaranteed reserves in run-off represent a declining share of the Group's total pension reserves and amounted to less than 38% of the pension reserves at the end of the quarter. With interest rates having risen to significantly higher levels than the average level of interest rate guarantees, the prospects for future profit sharing with customers have increased. 5
In addition to managing internal pension funds, Storebrand Asset Management is growing its external mandates from institutional and retail investors. Storebrand is a local partner for Nordic investors, and a gateway to the Nordics for international investors. The product offering includes a full product range of index, factor and actively managed funds. Storebrand is also one of the strongest providers of alternatives (private equity, real estate, private debt and infrastructure) in the Nordic region. Over the past three decades, Storebrand has focused on sustainable investments with a strong track record.
The brand name 'Storebrand' is well known in Norway. Together with capital, customer and operational synergies in the business, it supports rapid growth in the Norwegian retail market. P&C insurance is a key area for profitable and capital efficient growth. Storebrand Bank and the Kron Savings solution plays an important strategic role in offering a complete range of financial products and services to the retail market.
Storebrand expects top line growth in both fee-based income and insurance. In 2024, the insurance results were negatively affected by continued high claims in P&C and disability related lines of business. Storebrand maintains the 90-92% combined ratio ambition. Continued strong sales with associated costs and weather-related claims could lead to a somewhat higher combined ratio for 2025. The financial impact of storm "Amy," which struck Norway after the close of the 3rd quarter, is expected to be limited to NOK 50m net of reinsurance and including reinstatement premiums.
To meet the Group's profit ambitions, Storebrand invests in profitable growth. Storebrand has double digit growth ambitions for 2025 and a cost guidance of NOK 6.9bn for the full year. The underlying cost development since the beginning of the year is broadly in line with the plan. Performance-related costs, record-strong insurance sales, and currency effects have led to an additional NOK 110m in costs compared to the guided amount year-to-date. The recently presented national budget introduces changes to the Norwegian VAT Act that will have an impact on Storebrand. The regulation is expected to take effect from 1 July 2026 and is expected to have a negative cost impact for Storebrand amounting to approximately NOK 100m annually. Storebrand remains firmly committed to maintaining cost discipline, as demonstrated consistently over the past decade. Cost reduction measures will be implemented if ambitions are not achieved.
At the Capital Markets Day in 2023, Storebrand announced an ambition to achieve cash equivalent earnings before amortisation and tax of NOK 5bn in 2025. The Return on Equity target for the group was raised from 10% to 14%. Storebrand will host a Capital Markets Day on 10th of December 2025 to provide a strategic and financial update on the business.
Storebrand is exposed to several risk factors. The notes in this report and the annual report give comprehensive information about the main risk factors.
Storebrand is developing a partial internal model for risk measurement and risk management. The internal model is currently used to better understand the risk in the business and as a supplement to the public capital requirement calculations based on the standard model. Storebrand has applied to the FSA for approval to use a partial internal model in public capital requirement calculations.
Following a broad pension agreement in the Norwegian Parliament in 2024, age limits in the pension system will increase as life expectancy increases. This applies to both the lower age limit for withdrawal of pensions and the upper age limit for earning a pension in the social security pension system. The Ministry of Finance is working on adapting occupational pensions to life expectancy adjusted age limits. Storebrand expects increased lower age limit for withdrawal, increased minimum withdrawal periods and changes regarding disability pensions from occupational pension schemes.
The governing Labour party's parliamentary election manifesto for the period 2025-2029 proposes a gradual increase of the minimum savings rate for mandatory occupational pensions
The Ministry of Finance has conducted a public hearing regarding changes in the regulation of paid-up policies. Among the proposals being considered are more flexible guarantee regulations which could facilitate more long-term investment strategies with increased risk taking. Both labour market parties and consumer organisations showed support for the proposals. Storebrand expects the Government to present a bill to Parliament in 2025.
The government has proposed to increase the tax deduction for individual pension savings (IPS). The annual savings that can be deducted from taxable income will increase from 15 000 NOK per annum to 25 000 NOK per annum from the income year 2026.
Storebrand has filed two complaints to the EFTA Surveillance Authority (ESA). Storebrand has claimed that municipalities, regional health authorities (RHAs) and hospitals have entered contracts on occupational pension with KLP, in breach of the rules on public procurement. Storebrand has also claimed that municipalities, RHAs and hospitals have granted KLP state aid in violation of European Economic Area (EEA) Agreement.
ESA gave preliminary views on the issues raised in the public procurement case, in a letter to Norwegian authorities dated 29 February 2024. ESA's preliminary view in the public procurement case is that the lack of tender processes in this market constitutes a consistent and general practice in failure to observe EEA public procurement law.
The government's answer to ESA did not present new arguments or views compared to submissions made before ESA's preliminary view. Storebrand therefore expects ESA to initiate infringement proceedings in the public procurement case. ESA is still considering the state aid case.
The Ministry of Finance has proposed changes in the regulation of mutual funds. Among the proposals is making interest income tax-free in all mutual funds. Storebrand expects parliament to pass the proposed changes, which will be implemented with effect from 1 January 2026. The changes will ensure a level playing field, with a competitive tax framework for mutual funds in Norway.
A broad political majority in parliament has asked the government to develop industrial policies for the financial sector to ensure a competitive regulatory framework. This work will continue, and the government will report to parliament in the annual white paper on financial markets in Q2 2026.
Storebrand has established a framework for capital management that links dividends to the solvency margin. The dividend policy intends to reflect the strong growth in fee-based earnings, the more volatile financial markets related earnings and the capital release from the guaranteed book. The Board's ambition is to pay a gradually growing ordinary dividend. The Board expects the dividend growth from 2024 to 2025 to be broadly consistent with previous years, subject to financial performance and prevailing market conditions. When the solvency margin is sustainably above 175%, the Board will conduct share buyback programs. The purpose of buyback programs is to return excess capital released from the guaranteed liabilities that are in long-term run-off. The ambition is to return NOK 1.5bn annually and a total of NOK 12bn of excess capital by the end of 2030, primarily in the form of share buybacks, while generating additional excess capital which may fund further growth or could be returned to shareholders.
Storebrand dividend policy:
The Board of Directors' ambition is to pay ordinary dividends per share of at least the same nominal amount as the previous year. Ordinary dividends are subject to a sustainable solvency margin of above 150%. If the solvency margin is above 175%, the Board of Directors intends to propose special dividends or share buybacks.

A description of the accounting principles for tax, and the most significant impact on the effective tax rate is described in Storebrand ASA's 2024 annual report note 1 and note 26 (Group).
The tax rules for the insurance industry have undergone changes in recent years. In some cases, Storebrand and the Norwegian Tax Administration have had different interpretations of the tax rules and associated transitional rules. As a result of this, uncertain tax positions arise in connection with the recognised tax expenses. Whether or not the uncertain tax positions have to be recognised in the financial statements is assessed in accordance with IAS 12 and IFRIC 23. Uncertain tax positions will only be recognised in the financial statements if the company considers it to be preponderance that the Norwegian Tax Administration's interpretation will be accepted in a court of law. For further description of uncertain tax positions, see note 26 (Group) in the 2024 annual Report. There has been no development in the uncertain tax positions in the quarter.
The Storebrand Group is an insurance-dominated, cross-sectoral financial group with capital requirements in accordance with Solvency II. Storebrand calculates Solvency II according to the standard method as defined in the Solvency II Regulations.
Solidity and capital management is further described in the 2024 annual report in note 13.
