Quarterly Report

In the third quarter, global tensions, and unsettled trade policies continued to hamper economic growth. At the same time, financial markets demonstrated resilience. Some clarity was established during and after the summer as new US tariff levels were partially determined. However, significant uncertainty remains regarding the implications for trade, geopolitics, and the global economy.
During the quarter, the Federal Reserve lowered the interest rate, narrowing the interest rate differential between the US and Europe. In Europe, the economic sentiment was affected by positive growth expectations from increased investments, particularly in defence and infrastructure, and negative effects from tariffs and weaker exports. Growth rates in Northern Europe remained subdued.
In Sweden, the economy also remained subdued, with household consumption remaining weak. Given an expansionary monetary policy and expectations of a more active fiscal policy in 2026, the economic outlook for Sweden has improved. The industrial sector showed signs of strength. At the same time, a strong krona and weaker demand in the euro area remain headwinds for Swedish exports.
In this environment, SEB has an important role to play in supporting our customers with responsible advice and access to capital. We see growing demand in the security and defence sector, from customers and society, and we are working to meet this demand with relevant advisory services and products. During the quarter, our fund company, SEB Asset Management, launched a new thematic fund focused on investments in companies that contribute to strengthening Europe's defence, security, and resilience.
Net interest income increased marginally, positively affected by lower short term funding costs while lower interest rates continued to weigh negatively. The mortgage margins in Sweden were stable, at historically low levels. Lending to households grew somewhat compared to the previous quarter, driven by strong growth in the Baltics. Loan growth within Wealth & Asset Management remained firm, reflecting high activity within the Family Office segment. Corporate lending decreased, mainly explained by repayments of bridge facilities.
The customer activity in Corporate & Investment Banking was slower due to the summer months, although Investment Banking showed resilience, and the lower market volatility reduced demand for risk management services, particularly FX. Net flows of assets under management continued to be positive, across our business segments, and amounted to SEK 8bn.
Operating income decreased by 5 per cent compared to the previous quarter. Credit quality remained robust and net expected credit losses continued to decline. Moreover, operating expenses and imposed levies improved during the quarter. All in all, the operating profit decreased by 7 per cent and the return on equity for the quarter came in at 14 per cent. Our full-year cost target remains unchanged in local currencies, but has decreased further in SEK terms given the stronger Swedish krona.
We ended the quarter with a strong capital position and a buffer of 360 basis points. On 22 October, the Board of Directors decided on a new quarterly share buyback programme of SEK 2.5bn.
SEB's ongoing work to update its Internal Ratings-Based (IRB) models continues. SEB already holds 100bps of additional capital related to the ongoing IRB work since 2023 and, as communicated last quarter, the group's risk exposure amount (REA) is expected to increase by approximately 5 per cent until the models for the Baltic subsidiaries have been approved by the ECB.
In the third quarter, SEB started to phase in this transitory increase in REA. Taking the remaining increase into consideration, SEB's capital buffer, pro forma, stands at 290 basis points.
To strengthen the customer experience, we have continued to develop our digital services and have further reduced response times in our 24/7 telephone banking service. This was recognised in the latest annual SKI (Swedish Quality Index) survey, where SEB's telephone banking service continued to receive high scores. The survey showed that customer satisfaction in the banking sector, including SEB, declined from relatively high levels. However, SEB increased its relative position in the corporate customer segment. We are also pleased to have been ranked as the leading asset manager by Nordic institutional clients for the fourth consecutive year.
SEB has joined a consortium of nine major European banks to launch a euro-denominated stablecoin. The aim is to establish a regulated, digital payment standard in Europe that enables fast and cost-efficient transactions and effective settlements. A credible and reliable stablecoin can play an important role in the financial system of the future. Through this initiative, we can explore new technologies while strengthening our service offering and support for our customers.
To future-proof the bank, we also continue to develop AI solutions across several new areas, including HR, risk management, transaction monitoring, and Know Your Customer (KYC) analyses. These domains represent strategic opportunities where AI can contribute to significantly enhanced efficiency. The technology is being leveraged to automate document processing, generate reports, and support the management of incoming calls, enabling faster decision-making and improved service. We also recognise the important role we can play as a bank and long-term partner to emerging AI companies.
We continue to actively drive the sustainability transition and have acted as advisors to the Danish government on its framework for issuing bonds in accordance with the EU Green Bond Standard.
In an environment characterised by uncertainty and new challenges, our long-term customer relationships, and our ability to adapt are particularly important. Our employees play a key role in this. This year's employee survey shows that employee engagement within SEB remains at a high level, with a strong response rate. This clearly demonstrates the commitment that runs through the bank and enables us to create long-term value for our customers, shareholders, and society at large.

Interest income from loans to the public decreased by SEK 16,860m during the first nine months, mainly due to the lower interest rate environment.
Interest expense on deposits from the public decreased by SEK 15,133m in the first nine months, mainly due to the lower interest rate environment. The deposit guarantee fees amounted to SEK 356m (359).
Other net interest income decreased by SEK 1,863m 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 12 per cent in the first nine months to SEK 19,677m (17,595).
With improved equity markets, the average assets under management were higher than in the previous period while the average assets under custody were lower.

Net payment and card fees increased by SEK 1,516m to SEK 5,635m (4,119) compared to the first nine months of 2024, mainly due to the integration of AirPlus.
Net life insurance commissions decreased to SEK 703m (788), due to lower underlying asset values in the unit-linked insurance business.
Net financial income decreased by 24 per cent to SEK 7,101m (9,381) compared to the first nine months 2024.
Market volatility receded in the third quarter from elevated levels in the first half of 2025, affecting client activity and foreign exchange volumes. There was continued strong momentum and risk sentiment for Fixed Income, with high activity among investors and issuers, while Equities' income normalised from a high 2024.

The change in market value of certain strategic holdings amounted to SEK 97m (562) for the first nine months.
Net other income amounted to SEK 38m (106). Unrealised valuation and hedge accounting effects are included in this line item.
Total operating expenses increased by 8 per cent and amounted to SEK 24,144m (22,260), largely driven by running expenses and implementation costs related to AirPlus.
Staff costs increased by 8 per cent during the first nine months, related to AirPlus being part of the group from August 2024 and salary inflation.
Supervisory fees amounted to SEK 178m (167).
Net expected credit losses amounted to SEK 1,161m (509), corresponding to a net expected credit loss level of 5 basis points (2). New provisions and an increase of portfolio model overlays were partly offset by reversals. The overall asset quality of the credit portfolio remained stable. Negative risk migration slowed down.
For more information on credit risk, asset quality, net expected credit losses and the portfolio model overlays, see page 10 and notes 5, 10, 11 and 12.
Imposed levies decreased to SEK 2,668m (3,158). 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 had increased. See note 6.
Income tax expense amounted to SEK 6,318m (7,602) with an effective tax rate of 21.0 per cent (21.1).

SEB's business is exposed to 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, decreased in the third quarter to SEK 3,032bn (3,066).
The corporate segment decreased by SEK 31bn mainly due to repayment of bridge facilities and currency effects. Demand was mixed, with strong growth in the Baltic and Wealth & Asset Management divisions, while more muted in the Corporate & Investment Banking division. The real estate management portfolios, including housing co-operative associations, increased by SEK 1bn. The household mortgage portfolio increased by SEK 1bn, driven by strong growth in the Baltics.
The overall asset quality remained stable. The Stage 2 exposures, gross, decreased to SEK 129bn (138), driven by risk migration to both Stage 1 and Stage 3. Stage 3 exposures, gross, decreased to SEK 8.3bn (9.1), mainly due to repayments partly offset by negative risk migration. The share of Stage 3 loans, gross, was 0.36 per cent (0.36). Total ECL allowances amounted to SEK 6.9bn (7.1), of which SEK 1.5bn (1.4) was portfolio model overlays. The decrease in ECL allowances was due to positive risk development and write-offs against reserves, partly offset by new provisions and 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 third quarter and amounted to SEK 126m (132). 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 105 per cent (101) per 30 September 2025.
Funding markets were well functioning across products and tenors during the quarter. Despite credit spreads trading at multiyear lows, investors continued to have good demand for bonds across the capital structure. New issuance in the quarter amounted to SEK 34bn, of which SEK 21bn in senior non-preferred bonds, SEK 8bn in senior preferred bonds, and SEK 4bn in covered bonds. SEK 6bn of long-term funding matured. Outstanding shortterm funding in the form of commercial paper and certificates of deposit were unchanged.
Weighted High Quality Liquid Assets, defined according to the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) requirements, decreased to SEK 929bn per 30 September 2025 (1,034). The LCR was 136 per cent (130). 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 September 2025, SEB's NSFR was 116 per cent (112).
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.
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.
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) decreased by SEK 10bn, primarily driven by a SEK 12bn reduction in underlying credit risk REA. Market risk REA, including CVA, decreased by SEK 4bn. In line with previous communication, an Article 3 add-on related to Baltic IRB models was introduced, increasing REA by SEK 10bn.

| Total capital ratio, % | 22.3 | 21.7 | 22.5 |
| Leverage ratio, % | 5.1 | 4.9 | 5.4 |
SEB's Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio was 18.2 per cent (17.7) as of 30 September 2025. CET1 capital increased by SEK 4bn, mainly due to the quarterly net result. REA decreased by SEK 10bn mainly driven by a decrease in credit risk.
SEB's fourteenth share buyback programme amounting to SEK 2.5bn was completed on 21 October 2025. On 22 October 2025, the Board of Directors resolved to initiate a new programme, amounting to SEK 2.5bn, to be completed by 27 January 2026, at the latest.
SEB's applicable CET1 capital requirement and Pillar 2 guidance (P2G) per the end of the third quarter was 14.7 per cent (14.7). In the Swedish FSA's 2025 SREP (Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process) decision, SEB's Pillar 2 requirement (P2R) decreased by around 0.1 percentage points. The leverage ratiobased P2G decreased from 0.5 per cent to 0.15 percent. The decision was effective as of 30 September 2025.
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 third quarter 2025, the buffer amounted to around 360 basis points (290).
SEB's leverage ratio was 5.1 per cent at the end of the quarter (4.9), whereas the leverage ratio requirement and P2G was 3.15 per cent (3.5).
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 32.6bn (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.
| Divisions | Return on business equity |
Cost/income ratio | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 increased operating profit for the third quarter by SEK 54m. Loans to the public decreased by SEK 9bn and deposits from the public decreased by SEK 12bn. Credit risk REA decreased by SEK 4bn and the decrease of total assets was SEK 19bn.
In 2025, SEB has completed three share buyback programmes totalling SEK 7.5bn, which are part of the SEK 10bn for which SEB has permission from the Swedish FSA to repurchase own shares until January 2026.

The third quarter was characterised by a receding market volatility, following an eventful first half of 2025, and the typical summer slowdown in customer activity. During the quarter, SEB and eight major European banks announced a consortium to issue a euro-denominated stablecoin.
Within Global Banking, the wait and see approach continued with corporate clients mainly focusing on refinancings as investment decisions continued to be pushed into the future in the subdued macroeconomic environment. The seasonal slowdown was observed in the Trade Finance and Receivable and Supply Chain Financing areas.
Investment Banking activity showed resilience, despite the seasonal decline after an active second quarter, with sound merger and acquisition activity although lacking larger eventdriven transactions. Capital markets saw increased activity in the latter part of the quarter. Primary bond issuance continued the positive trajectory from previous quarters. Activity in private capital was tilted towards refinancings. There was selective investor appetite in the infrastructure space during the quarter with a positive outlook although with long lead times.
Demand for risk management services decreased, especially for foreign exchange, due to lower market volatility and reduced event-driven transaction volumes compared to the previous quarter. Positive momentum in fixed income continued, supported by a healthy risk sentiment with both investors and issuers being highly active.
Lending volumes decreased by SEK 29bn to SEK 737bn, mainly due to repayments of bridge facilities. Deposit volumes increased by SEK 13bn to SEK 833bn, driven mainly by fixed term deposits. Assets under custody amounted to SEK 19,601bn (19,129) explained by increased asset values.
Operating profit amounted to SEK 3,736m. Net interest income decreased by 4 per cent, mainly relating to lower interest rates and seasonality within our Investor Services business. Net fee and commission income decreased by 17 per cent from a high second quarter following the seasonal pattern. Net financial income decreased by 5 per cent, as a consequence of lower market volatility.
Operating expenses decreased by 3 per cent. Net expected credit losses decreased to SEK 203m, corresponding to a net expected credit loss level of 5 basis points.
²⁾ Quarterly numbers are for end of quarter. Accumulated numbers are average for the period.

In Sweden, the economy remained subdued, but with gradually improving household consumption. Demand for financial services was modest in most areas and competition remained high in both the private and corporate segments. Customers continued to appreciate SEB's improved service offerings, and customer satisfaction remained high.
In the private customer segment, mortgage lending volumes were flat at SEK 566bn (566). SEB's mortgage market share remained unchanged at 13 per cent, and the mortgage margins were stable in the quarter.
Household deposits decreased to SEK 256bn (259), and net interest margins on deposits decreased compared to the previous quarter, driven by effects from the policy rate cut in June.
The net fund savings flow was positive in the quarter, and with rising stock markets, assets under management rose to SEK 517bn. In the corporate segment, lending volumes were broadly stable at SEK 272bn (273). Card-related lending increased slightly to SEK 33bn (32). Corporate deposits remained flat and amounted to SEK 186bn (186).
In total, lending volumes in the division decreased by SEK 1bn to SEK 885bn (886). Deposit volumes decreased by SEK 3bn, amounting to SEK 442bn (445).
Operating profit amounted to SEK 2,619m. Net interest income decreased by 3 per cent as a reflection of margin pressure and policy rate cuts. Net fee and commission income decreased by 5 per cent, primarily related to card-related fees due to seasonal effects. Total operating expenses decreased compared to the previous quarter due to reduced costs related to AirPlus. Net expected credit losses amounted to SEK 4m in the third quarter.

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.
In the third quarter, the development of the financial markets contributed positively to assets under management, which increased to SEK 2,820bn (2,744) for the Group. In addition, there was high client activity in the Professional Family Office segment and good results in the occupational pension business.
Net sales amounted to SEK 7.8bn, with positive sales from Asset Management, Private Wealth Management & Family Office and the Business & Retail Banking and Baltic divisions.
Life delivered another strong quarter, growing its weighted sales volumes by 5 per cent compared to last year to SEK 14.6bn. SEB's market share in the Swedish life insurance market for new sales in the third quarter increased by 0.3 percentage points to 12.1 per cent and led to a third place in the market.
Within Private Wealth Management & Family Office, lending volumes increased by SEK 13bn to SEK 100bn, and deposit volumes decreased by SEK 7bn to SEK 147bn.
Operating profit amounted to SEK 1,397m, an increase of 13 per cent compared to the previous quarter. With stable net interest income, the increase was mainly driven by higher net fee and commission income which was 6 per cent higher. Net financial income increased by 15 per cent, mainly due to a higher life insurance result. Operating expenses decreased by 4 per cent. Net expected credit losses amounted to SEK 4m in the third quarter.

¹⁾ Quarterly numbers are for end of quarter. Accumulated numbers are average for the period.
The Baltic economies remained stable in the third quarter. The household sector was relatively stronger, supported by a stable labour market, lower interest rates, and growth in real household income as average wage growth outpaced inflation. Consumer confidence in Estonia continued at historically weak levels, but remained stronger in Lithuania and Latvia. Industry sector confidence remained almost unchanged. The recovering residential property market also helped the construction sector.
Investments increased notably in the energy, transport and defence sectors. Lending to corporate customers increased by 2 per cent in local currency, with the highest lending growth rate among Latvian corporate customers since before the pandemic. The volume of new household mortgages remained historically strong as the demand for residential properties raised prices. Lending to households increased by 3 per cent in local currency, with the strongest growth in Lithuania. Total lending amounted to SEK 214bn (212), an increase of 2 per cent in local currency.
Deposits from household customers remained flat in all countries, while the increase in corporate deposits in Latvia and Lithuania was somewhat offset by the decrease in Estonia. Together, total deposit volumes amounted to SEK 269bn (268), an increase of 1 per cent in local currency. The share of savings and term deposit accounts in relation to total deposits remained unchanged at 27 per cent.
Net inflow in assets under management amounted to SEK 1.6bn.
Operating profit amounted to SEK 1,727m. Net interest income decreased by 2 per cent in local currency, mainly as a result of falling interest rates, which gave rise to reduced income both from excess liquidity placed at central banks and other financial institutions, and from lower deposit margins. Lending margins also remained under competitive pressure, fully offset by the growth in lending volumes.
Net fee and commission income increased by 2 per cent in local currency, mainly due to a higher uptake of service plans in Latvia, which benefit private customers by providing daily banking services at a fixed monthly cost.
Net financial income decreased by 30 per cent in local currency following lower revaluation effects of the liquidity portfolio.
Operating expenses increased by 1 per cent in local currency, due in part to an increase in temporary summer trainees and other staff-related costs. The Latvian and Lithuanian solidarity contribution levies decreased by 38 per cent in local currency and amounted to SEK 89m, which reflect the decreasing results of net interest income. Net expected credit losses amounted to positive SEK 7m due to a net reversal of provisions, partially offset by increased portfolio model overlays.

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.

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.

¹⁾ Including trade and client receivables presented as other assets.
In the quarter, Stage 1 exposures, gross, increased to SEK 2,962bn (2,921). ECL allowances in Stage 1 were unchanged.
The decrease in Stage 2 exposures, gross, to SEK 129bn (138), was driven by risk migration to both Stage 1 and Stage 3. Stage 2 ECL allowances decreased mainly due to positive credit development.
Stage 3 exposures, gross, decreased to SEK 8.3bn (9.1), mainly due to repayments partly offset by negative risk migration. This also led to a decrease in ECL allowances in Stage 3. The share of Stage 3 loans, gross, was 0.36 per cent (0.36).
Total ECL allowances amounted to SEK 6.9bn (7.1), of which SEK 1.5bn (1.4) in portfolio model overlays. The decrease in ECL allowances was due to repayment, write-offs against reserves and positive risk development, partly offset by new provisions and 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, smaller revisions were made to macroeconomic growth forecasts following macroeconomic data. The base scenario assumes that the US's politically imposed uncertainty
causes businesses, households and financial markets to hesitate, leading to slower growth, albeit more moderately than initially expected. Tariffs will primarily curb US growth, but with uncertain spillover effects. Fiscal stimulus in Europe, the US and China as well as continued interest rate cuts provide growth support, but also risks. Global GDP is expected to be around 3 per cent in 2025 and 2026. While inflation is rising to a tariff-driven temporarily high level in the US, inflation is expected to be around target levels for most economies.
The main macroeconomic assumptions in the base scenario are shown in the table below.
| Base scenario assumptions | 2025 | 2026 | 2027 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Global GDP growth | 3.0% | 2.9% | 3.1% |
| OECD GDP growth | 1.4% | 1.5% | 1.7% |
| Sweden | |||
| GDP growth | 1.1% | 2.7% | 2.9% |
| Household consumption expenditure growth | 1.1% | 2.6% | 2.9% |
| Interest rate (STIBOR) | 1.85% | 1.85% | 2.10% |
| Residential real estate price growth | -2.0% | 5.0% | 3.0% |
| Baltic countries | |||
| GDP growth | 1.2% - 2.7% | 1.9% - 3.1% | 2.1% - 2.8% |
| Household consumption expenditure growth | 0.4% - 3.0% | 1.6% - 5.7% | -0.2% - 2.5% |
| Inflation rate | 3.7% - 5.2% | 2.2% - 3.4% | 2.4% - 2.8% |
| Nominal wage growth | 6.5% - 8.5% | 6.0% - 7.8% | 6.0% - 7.0% |
| Unemployment rate | 6.8% - 7.9% | 6.6% - 7.3% | 6.4% - 6.7% |
The negative scenario is connected to the complex and fragile environment where various policy mistakes or a rapid revaluation of asset prices could crush underlying flexibility and growth power in the economy. Tariffs could have a greater and broader impact on inflation than expected, resulting in weaker real income and higher interest rates. In the positive scenario, reduced trade uncertainty, a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine and a generally more predictable environment could improve household confidence, coupled with support from lower interest rates and inflation, albeit with the upside limited by already high resource utilization and low unemployment in many economies and regions. A further description of the scenarios is available in the Nordic Outlook report published in August 2025.
The probability for the base scenario was unchanged at 55 per cent (55), for the negative scenario unchanged at 25 per cent (25) and for the positive scenario unchanged at 20 per cent (20).
The update of the macroeconomic scenarios in the quarter resulted in a minimal effect on ECL allowances. 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 5 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 third quarter, the portfolio model overlays were increased to SEK 1.5bn (1.4). The increase was made in the Corporate & Investment Banking and Baltic divisions. The portfolio model overlays mainly reflect the risks from the US tariffs and rising uncertainty, continued volatile geopolitical landscape marked by military, political and economic conflicts. SEK 0.8bn (0.7) 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. 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.

The tables above show only the exposures and ECL allowances for Loans and excludes Debt securities, Financial guarantees and Loan commitments. Loans are including trade and client receivables presented as other assets.
The relevant overall risks and uncertainties for the SEB Group are outlined in SEB's Annual Report 2024. In respect of the re-assessment of credited withholding tax in Germany, the investigation of alleged tax evasion of a severe nature, the supervisory matters and the claim from the Swedish Pensions Agency, there have been no material developments during the third quarter that require an update of the description of the matters listed under future uncertainties in SEB's Annual Report 2024.
On 1 August 2024, SEB acquired 100 percent of the voting shares of AirPlus International GmbH, a leading provider within corporate payment services. The transaction will provide SEB Kort with additional scale, a strong footprint for further growth in Europe, and a modern IT platform. Furthermore, the transaction is expected to result in synergies and complements SEB Group's broader corporate banking ambitions in the DACH region (Germany, Austria and Switzerland) and Northern Europe.
Following the acquisition of AirPlus, the determination of the fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date has been finalised in the third quarter 2025 with details included in the table below. The total consideration for 100% of AirPlus' equity amounts to SEK 5,550m. Compared to the preliminary purchase price allocation (PPA), the purchase price increased by SEK 332m. The implied goodwill in the transaction amounts to SEK 425m, an increase of SEK 270m compared to the preliminary PPA.

²⁾ In the third quarter, additional risk exposure amount according to Article 3, Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 (CRR) increased by SEK 9bn to a total of SEK 23bn. An amount of SEK 10bn was added related to the Baltic IRB models.
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. As from the third quarter 2025, the SME supporting factor (according to Article 501 of the CRR) is applied to REA under Article 458 of the CRR.
The following table summarises average risk-weights (risk exposure amount divided by exposure at default (EAD)) for exposures, where the risk exposure amount is calculated according to the internal ratings based (IRB) approach.
Repos and securities lending transactions are excluded from the analysis, since they carry low risk-weights, and can vary considerably in volume, thus making numbers less comparable.

THIS IS A TRANSLATION FROM THE SWEDISH ORIGINAL
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 September 30, 2025 and for the nine months period then ended, which can be found on page 5-11 and 13-47 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.
