Swedbank has once again delivered a strong result in an uncertain global environment.
The geopolitical situation, continued uncertainty about tariffs and trade, and the increasing concerns about weak public finances are slowing down global growth. During the quarter, the European Central Bank left its policy rate unchanged, while the Riksbank and the Federal Reserve cut rates.
There are differences in the pace of economic development among Swedbank's four home markets. In Sweden, economic conditions remain weak, although there are some signs of improvement. In Estonia, economic development is still subdued, while we are seeing some recovery in Latvia while there is a strong development in Lithuania.
In these uncertain times, Swedbank stands strong. The result for the quarter amounted to SEK 8 512m. The return on equity was 16.0 per cent. Net interest income decreased slightly compared to the preceding quarter due to lower policy rates. Net commission income increased, mainly as a result of higher income from asset management. Costs fell, and the cost to income ratio was 0.35.
Credit quality is solid, with credit impairment reversals during the quarter.
The credit rating agency S&P Global upgraded Swedbank's credit rating during the quarter. In their decision, they highlighted the bank's improved governance, regulatory compliance and risk management.
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) closed its investigation of the bank's historic disclosures of information without enforcement. Two other US authorities are still investigating the bank.
We are delivering according to our plan Swedbank 15/27. It focuses on three areas: strengthened customer interactions, grow volumes and increased efficiency.
Our customer focus is producing results. We have further improved our availability in Sweden during the quarter, and now 70 per cent of incoming calls are answered within three minutes. We are thereby getting closer to our target of at least 80 per cent. We consistently work to improve our digital offerings. And we see that more and more customers are choosing to do their everyday banking through our app or the internet bank.
We have also increased efficiency. Our employees can spend more time meeting customers and less time on
administration, using our new AI tools. The number of advisory sessions per employee has increased.
During the quarter, mortgage lending increased by SEK 5bn. Mortgage loans in Sweden accounted for SEK 2.6bn of this amount. Lending through our own channels increased volumes by SEK 4.2bn. Mortgage lending within our Baltic operations rose by 3 per cent in local currency.
Deposits from private customers increased slightly in the Baltic countries, while deposits decreased somewhat in Sweden from high levels during the second quarter. We continue to be close to our customers and advise them. Strengthening their financial health is an important task for the bank. Savings and pensions continued to develop positively. Swedbank Robur saw a net inflow of SEK 9bn in our four home markets.
In August, we announced that we plan to acquire the remaining 50 per cent of Entercard. Thereby we are now forming the largest card business in the Nordic and Baltic region.
In Lithuania, the business climate remains strong. In Sweden, Estonia and Latvia, we are seeing gradually rising activity, but from low levels. During the quarter, lending corporate lending increased by SEK 7bn.
Our customers are showing a high demand for sustainable investments; 36 per cent of the bonds arranged by Swedbank during the quarter were classified as sustainable. Our Sustainable Assets Register has now surpassed SEK 150bn.
We now own 20 per cent of the investment bank SB1 Markets. During the quarter, the company began its operations in Sweden – an important step in further developing our offering to corporate customers. In addition, our customers will gain access to an expanded range of equity research.
In the Baltic markets, we launched the card payment feature "Click to Pay", a secure and convenient service that simplifies card payments.
Being named the most loved brand in the Baltics for the seventh year in a row makes all of us at Swedbank proud.
Swedbank stands strong and is well-positioned for sustainable growth and profitability. We continue to create value for our customers and owners in both good and bad times.

This interim report contains alternative performance measures that Swedbank considers valuable information for the reader, since they are used by the executive management for internal governance and performance measurement as well as for comparisons between reporting periods. Further information on the alternative performance measures used in the interim report can be found on page 55.
Swedbank's profit increased to SEK 8 512m (7 886). Income rose, and credit impairments were net positive. Expenses fell compared to the preceding quarter. Foreign exchange effects positively impacted profit before impairments, bank taxes and resolution fees by SEK 45m.
The return on equity was 16.0 per cent (15.4) and the cost/income ratio was 0.35 (0.36).
Income increased to SEK 17 105m (16 962). Net commission income and other income rose, while net interest income and net gains and losses on financial items fell. Foreign exchange effects positively impacted income by SEK 69m.
Net interest income decreased to SEK 10 819m (10 917), driven by declining interest rates related to the Riksbank's interest rate cut at the end of the preceding quarter. Lower lending rates were partly offset by lower deposit rates as well as one extra day of interest in the quarter.
Net commission income increased to SEK 4 117m (3 902). The increase was mainly due to higher income from asset management, which was impacted by the market's development during the quarter, as well as by seasonally higher card commissions. This was partly offset by seasonally lower income from issuing bonds and from equity-related transactions.
Net gains and losses on financial items remained strong but fell slightly to SEK 847m (856). The decrease from the preceding quarter was mainly driven by lower revaluation effects on shareholdings and by a slight decline in FX trading from a high level. The decrease was partly offset by stronger fixed income trading.
Other income rose to SEK 1 322m (1 286), partly due to a one-off effect related to a business transfer to SB1 Markets. Within Baltic Banking, revaluation effects within the insurance business and a normalisation in the level of insurance claims both contributed negatively.
Expenses decreased to SEK 6 030m (6 119), driven by seasonally lower expenses for consultants and IT. Staff costs were largely unchanged, impacted by seasonal effects. The bank received a VAT reimbursement during the quarter of SEK 197m for 2016, in addition to the
SEK 174m received for 2018 in the preceding quarter. Foreign exchange effects increased expenses by SEK 24m.
Credit impairments were net positive and amounted to SEK -398m (150), corresponding to a credit impairment ratio of -0.08 per cent (0.03). Provisions fell by SEK 233m (95) due to updated macroeconomic scenarios, and post-model adjustments decreased by SEK 228m (129). The decrease was partly offset by an increase in individually assessed loans.
Bank taxes and resolution fees amounted to SEK 663m (677). The decrease was mainly due to lower expenses for bank taxes in Lithuania during the quarter.
The income tax expense amounted to SEK 2 298m (2 130) and corresponded to an effective tax rate of 21.3 per cent (21.3).
Swedbank's profit decreased to SEK 24 593m (26 401). Foreign exchange effects negatively impacted profit before impairments, bank taxes and resolution fees by SEK 272m.
The return on equity was 15.4 per cent (17.5) and the cost/income ratio was 0.36 (0.34).
Income fell to SEK 51 396m (55 470) due to lower net interest income, net gains and losses on financial items and net commission income. The decrease was partly offset by higher other income. Foreign exchange effects negatively impacted income by SEK 436m.
Net interest income decreased to SEK 33 225m (36 993), negatively impacted by lower interest rates.
Net commission income fell and amounted to SEK 12 071m (12 430). The decline was primarily due to lower card commissions and higher payment-related costs, partly offset by higher income from service concepts.
Net gains and losses on financial items decreased to SEK 2 245m (2 763), mainly due to negative revaluation effects on derivatives, partly offset by positive revaluation effects on shareholdings as well as trading in financial instruments.
Other income rose to SEK 3 855m (3 283). The increase was primarily due to higher sales of IT and administrative services to the savings banks, the sale of a building in Latvia and improved net insurance income. The increase was in part offset by a lower result from partly owned companies.
Expenses decreased to SEK 18 264m (18 636). The decrease was mainly driven by three VAT reimbursements totalling SEK 576m for the years 2016-2018 and by lower consulting expenses compared to the corresponding period in 2024. The decline was partly offset
by slightly higher IT and staff costs. Foreign exchange effects reduced expenses by SEK 164m.
Credit impairments were net positive and amounted to SEK -389m (126), corresponding to a credit impairment ratio of -0.03 per cent (0.01), where decreased provisions due to changes in exposures and other risk factors were partly offset by increased provisions for individually assessed loans.
Bank taxes and resolution fees amounted to SEK 2 269m (3 162). The decrease was mainly due to a lower bank tax in Lithuania.
The income tax expense amounted to SEK 6 657m (7 112) and corresponded to an effective tax rate of 21.3 per cent (21.2). The slightly higher effective tax rate in 2025 is partly explained by a higher corporate tax rate in Estonia.
Swedbank mainly conducts business in the product areas of lending, deposits, fund savings and life insurance, and payments.
Loans to customers increased by SEK 12bn during the quarter to SEK 1 829bn (1 817). Compared to the corresponding quarter in 2024, lending rose by SEK 33bn. Foreign exchange effects negatively impacted lending volumes by SEK 3bn compared to the second quarter of 2025 and negatively by SEK 17bn compared to the third quarter of 2024.

The number of purchases made in Sweden with Swedbank cards decreased slightly during the quarter compared to the corresponding quarter in 2024. A total of 402 million card purchases were made. In the Baltic countries, the number of card purchases rose by 6 per cent compared to the corresponding quarter in 2024 and totalled 287 million during the quarter.
In Sweden, a total of 242 million domestic payments were made during the quarter, an increase of 3 per cent compared to the corresponding period in 2024. Swedbank's market share of payments executed via Bankgirot was 34 per cent. In the Baltic countries, a total of 140 million domestic payments were processed, an increase of 8 per cent compared to the corresponding period in 2024.
The number of international payments made in Sweden decreased by 4 per cent compared to the corresponding quarter in 2024, to 1.2 million. In the Baltic countries, international payments rose by 22 per cent to 11 million, including transactions between the Baltic countries. The increase was partly driven by cheaper payment options in the bank and lower amounts per payment.
The credit quality of Swedbank's lending is solid and credit impairments are low. Total credit impairment provisions amounted to SEK 6 073m (7 002), of which SEK 364m (594) was post-model adjustments.
For mortgages in Sweden, forborne loans continued to increase, but at a slower rate than in the preceding year. The number of loans with late payments decreased slightly.
The total share of loans in stage 2, gross, amounted to 8.4 per cent (8.4). For loans to private customers, the corresponding share was 7.3 per cent (7.0), and for corporate lending it was 10.3 per cent (10.9). The total share of loans in stage 3, gross, was 0.55 per cent (0.58). For loans to private customers, the share was 0.39 per cent (0.44), and for corporate lending it was 0.82 per cent (0.81).

During the quarter, the financial markets were dominated by easing concerns about US tariffs, but also by increased worries about strained government finances. France was in focus with its large budget deficit and complex political landscape.
Short-term interest rates were stable even though the Riksbank decided to cut its policy rate by 25 basis points in September. Meanwhile, the Riksbank signalled that this was probably the last rate cut in this cycle. The combination of expectations that rates are now close to bottoming out in Sweden and Europe, as well as concerns about strained government finances, raised long-term rates slightly.
The credit appetite was good during the quarter, and Swedbank remained active in the funding markets. During the quarter, issuance consisted of covered bonds in Swedish krona but also subordinated debt in the form of a Tier 2 instrument in euro as well as a green senior unsecured bond in Swedish krona.
In total for the quarter, Swedbank issued SEK 24bn in long-term debt instruments. As of 30 September, Swedbank's outstanding short-term funding in issue amounted to SEK 310bn (299). The need for financing is affected by the current liquidity situation, future maturities and changes in deposit and lending volumes, and therefore is adjusted over the course of the year. For more information on funding and liquidity, see Notes 16-18 and pages 57–69 of the Factbook.

On 23 September, the credit rating agency S&P Global upgraded Swedbank's ratings. The long-term rating was raised to AA- from A+ and the outlook was restored from positive to stable. The upgrade is, according to S&P, the result of improved governance, compliance and risk management as well as the bank's resilient earnings and robust capitalisation, which provide a good financial buffer.
For more information on the ratings, see page 69 of the Factbook.

Swedbank continuously monitors operational risks and focuses on areas where risks are considered highest. The bank has made its work with cyber, IT and information security risks a priority. A number of IT incidents occurred during the third quarter that impacted the availability of critical channels and payment services. Measures were taken to increase IT stability, and the bank has several ongoing initiatives to further improve operational resilience and ensure a high level of availability for customers.
Geopolitical tensions persist, and the bank continues to prioritise activities aimed at strengthening digital operational resilience. Swedbank closely monitors developments in this area and has a strong capabilty to manage the associated risks.
The Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio was 19.7 per cent (19.7) at the end of the quarter. The total CET1 capital requirement, including Pillar 2 guidance, was 14.8 per cent (15.2) of the risk exposure amount, which resulted in a CET1 capital buffer of 4.8 percentage points (4.5). CET1 capital amounted to SEK 177bn (175) and was mainly affected by the quarterly result and estimated dividend.
(Refers to Swedbank consolidated situation)

REA increased to SEK 900.8bn (888.5) in the third quarter.
REA for credit risks rose by SEK 13.8bn, mainly due to increased volumes in Sweden and the Baltic countries. The increase was partly offset by lower REA for pastdue exposures.
REA for market risks fell by SEK 0.9bn, mainly due to reduced positions in covered bonds in Swedish institutions.
REA for Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA) decreased due to lower exposures.
(Refers to Swedbank consolidated situation)

The leverage ratio was 6.6 per cent (6.7) and thereby exceeds the leverage ratio requirement including Pillar 2 guidance of 3.2 per cent (3.5).
The Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (SFSA) has decided on new capital requirements in connection with the annual Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP). Overall, the decision resulted in an approximately 0.4 percentage point lower Pillar 2 requirement (P2R) for CET1 in relation to the risk exposure amount (REA).
The decrease in P2R is partly due to internal ratingsbased (IRB) models, as the new risk weights under the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR3) impact the SFSA's calculation of the capital requirement, and partly due to a lower capital requirement for interest rate risk in the banking book (IRRBB). In relation to REA, P2R for CET1 amounted to 1.5 per cent (1.9), and Pillar 2 guidance (P2G) was unchanged at 0.5 per cent. P2G for leverage decreased from 0.5 per cent to 0.15 per cent of the exposure amount.
In accordance with the guidelines from the European Banking Authority (EBA) and revisions to CRR3, Swedbank is applying for approval of new IRB models. The bank expects the review processes to continue with ongoing approvals from supervisory authorities, which will facilitate further implementations of Swedish PD models and certain Baltic models in 2026. Swedbank had already decided on an Article 3 add-on equivalent to the bank's assessment of the impact on REA of the introduction of the remaining IRB models. This add-on has been reduced to SEK 6bn in line with the phase-in that has occurred.
The CRR3 regulation took effect on 1 January 2025 with a phase-in period through 2032. The European Commission has decided to postpone the market risk requirements by two years, until 2027. The capital requirement floor under CRR3 for banks that use internal models is not expected to impact Swedbank's capital requirements, as long as the SFSA applies risk weight floors to internal lending models for Swedish mortgages and commercial properties.
The SFSA has received approval from the European Commission to extend the risk weight floors by two years until 2027.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced during the quarter that it has closed its investigation of the bank without enforcement.
The Department of Justice (DoJ) and the Department of Financial Services in New York (DFS) are investigating Swedbank's historical anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing work and historical information disclosures.
The bank cannot at this time determine any financial consequences or when the investigations will be completed.
On 1 July, Swedbank signed an agreement to acquire all the shares in Stabelo Group AB with expected transfer of ownership in autumn 2025 after approval is received from the relevant authorities. Through access to a complementary brand, new technology and new channels for mortgage loans, the acquisition will enable Swedbank to reach more customers in the mortgage market. Stabelo currently has about 30 employees and
will continue to operate in the mortgage market under its own brand.
Swedbank announced on 28 August that the bank had reached an agreement to acquire Barclays' ownership stake in Entercard, which will thereby become a wholly owned subsidiary of Swedbank. Swedbank and Barclays have co-owned Entercard since 2005, where the parties have each owned 50 per cent. Entercard currently has approximately 450 employees and 1.5 million customers and will continue to operate under its own brand. The purchase price is based on an amount corresponding to 50 per cent of Entercard's equity at the time of acquisition. In the second quarter of 2025, the company's total equity amounted to approximately SEK 5.3bn. The acquisition is subject to approval by the relevant authorities.
On 1 September 2025, Swedbank acquired 20 per cent of the shares in SB1 Markets for a cash consideration of NOK 355m and by divesting part of its investment banking operations within Corporates and Institutions to SB1 Markets.
Swedbank has appointed Martin Noréus as the Group's new Chief Risk Officer. He will take on his role on 1 May 2026, and will join Swedbank's Group Executive Committee on that date. Swedbank's current Chief Risk
Officer, Rolf Marquardt, will remain in his role until Martin Noréus takes over, after which he will become a senior advisor at Swedbank.
During the third quarter, Swedbank received a reimbursement corresponding to SEK 197m for excess VAT payments for 2016. According to a judgment by the Administrative Court of Appeal, Swedbank has been granted the right to use a new method to calculate deductible VAT in accordance with amended case law from the Supreme Administrative Court. The bank has previously received reimbursements of SEK 205m for 2017 in the first quarter and SEK 174m for 2018 in the second quarter and has also applied for VAT reimbursements for 2019–2023.
The Riksbank has decided that Swedish banks must hold interest-free deposits with the Riksbank from 31 October 2025. The purpose of this decision is to contribute to the Riksbank's ability to fund itself. For Swedbank, this means interest-free deposits of approximately SEK 6bn.
No significant events have taken place after the end of the period.

1) During the second quarter 2025, an allocation model regarding fund savings between Swedish banking and Premium and Private Banking was updated, why also comparatives have been restated. The change has impacted net commission income, other expenses and tax expense.
During the quarter, the mortgage market continued to recover. A number of efforts were made to strengthen Swedbank's market position, including the launch of the "Bo-start" package to help young customers buy their first home. The acquisition of Stabelo announced by the bank is aimed at further developing the mortgage business and customer offering.
During the quarter, availability for customers was improved both by phone and when visiting a branch. By phone, 70 per cent of customers received assistance within three minutes, and around 20 branches have adjusted their opening hours to meet demand for advice and service. The quality and efficiency of customer meetings was improved through the use of AI to summarise and document conversations about insurance and savings between the customer and the advisor.
Fraud protection was further strengthened by limiting Swish users to two daily maximum online payments,
replacing the previous rolling seven-day limit, as well as a new feature in the bank's app and internet bank that shows the customer when they are speaking to a bank employee on the phone.
Profit increased, mainly due to lower credit impairments and higher commission income. Net interest income fell due to lower margins related to price adjustments.
Mortgage volume was stable. Corporate lending decreased by SEK 1bn. Deposit volumes fell by SEK 1bn, mainly driven by household deposits.
Net commission income increased, mainly related to higher income from asset management and higher card commissions.
Expenses decreased, mainly due to lower costs for internally purchased development services. Credit impairments were net positive and amounted to SEK-167m (83). The change was mainly explained by model updates as well as updated macroeconomic scenarios.
2) Other income includes the items Net insurance, Share of profit or loss of associates and joint ventures and Other income from the Group income statement.

During the quarter, the housing market continued to recover, and demand for mortgages increased in all three Baltic countries. Home purchasing power rose due to lower interest rates and higher wages. On the corporate side, lending was stable, especially in agriculture, renewable energy and manufacturing. During the quarter, corporate and mortgage lending both increased.
In Estonia, the offering for private customers was further expanded to include travel insurance and purchase protection.
The bank also introduced "Click to Pay" card payment functionality in e-commerce for affiliated merchants, which offers faster and more secure online checkouts. In addition, Swedbank's Mastercard users now have access to Mastercard's Priceless platform.
Swedbank has continued to promote sport and a healthier lifestyle. In Latvia, the bank has partnered with Youth Basketball, and in Lithuania Swedbank is now the main sponsor of the Swedbank Vilnius Marathon. For the seventh consecutive year, Swedbank was named the most-loved brand in the Baltics. The bank was also named the most engaged – and most humane brand – in all three countries, as well as the fastest- growing brand in Estonia.
Profit increased by 7 per cent in local currency (EUR), mainly due to lower credit impairments.
Net interest income was stable (EUR). The impact of lower lending rates was offset by a lower cost for deposits and higher volumes.
Lending volumes rose by 4 per cent (EUR). The increase was mainly in mortgages and corporate lending.
Net commission income (EUR) remained stable. Other income (EUR) fell, driven by higher insurance claims within the insurance business and revaluation effects.
Expenses rose slightly (EUR) due to higher staff costs and depreciation in connection with the new head office in Estonia. Credit impairments were net positive and amounted to SEK -153m (58). The change was mainly explained by decreased post-model adjustments as well as updated macroeconomic scenarios.

During the quarter, lending volumes increased despite seasonally lower business activity. Loans to the real estate sector and medium-sized companies in other sectors rose, while lending to large companies outside the real estate sector decreased. Deposit volumes fell slightly. Decreased corporate deposits were partly offset by increased deposits from institutions.
A favourable market increased investors' interest in corporate bonds, which positively affected primary market activity. Expectations of a wider range of government bonds, partly due to expansionary fiscal policy, led to higher interest rates. Uncertainty surrounding the US economy and fixed income market are making Swedish debt investors cautious about interest hedges. Customers remain focused on the US dollar, and its weakness has led to increased FX trading.
On 1 September, Swedbank acquired shares in SB1 Markets, and at the same time the company established a Swedish branch office. The ownership stake in SB1 Markets strengthens Swedbank's offering and gives customers increased access to high-quality investment banking services.
The bank is working actively to integrate learning into its daily work, which has had an impact on both customers and employees. During the quarter, the bank received an award in the category Transformation of the Year at the Swedish Learning Awards 2025, hosted by the Swedish Learning Association, for the contribution "Företag Bas".
Net interest income fell slightly during the quarter. Decreased volumes and lower margins on deposits were offset by increased lending volumes.
Net commission income decreased, mainly due to seasonally lower income from issuing bonds and from equity-related transactions.
Net gains and losses on financial items increased, driven by fixed income trading, which benefitted from high customer activity and favourable market conditions.
Expenses were stable. Credit impairments were net positive and amounted to SEK -90m (-4). The change was mainly explained by lower post-model expert credit adjustments and reduced provisions due to updated macroeconomic scenarios, partly offset by increased provisions for individually assessed loans.

1) During the second quarter 2025, an allocation model regarding fund savings between Swedish banking and Premium and Private Banking was updated, why also comparatives have been restated. The change has impacted net commission income, other expenses and tax expense. 2) Other income includes the items Net insurance, Share of profit or loss of associates and joint ventures and Other income from the Group income statement.
Premium and Private Banking's comprehensive offering of tailored solutions for each customer's personal finances, for companies and for families continues to attract customers and is generating increased volumes.
During the quarter, conditions in the financial market improved. Customers' interest in investing and their risk tolerance increased – but still at a restrained pace. Demand for financial advice remained high and contributed to growth in both savings and pensions. In July, net sales within savings set a new record for the business area.
Premium and Private Banking has continued to deliver a stable, positive net flow within mortgages for the entire year despite fierce competition in the market. August
was the strongest month so far this year in terms of mortgage volumes.
Demand for customer concepts was good during the quarter, where the highest growth rate related to corporate customers seeking qualified investment advice. So far this year, the business area has connected nearly 9 000 customers, including just over 2 500 in Q3.
Profits strengthened. Net commission income increased, mainly driven by higher income from asset management. Net interest income decreased due to lower margins driven by price adjustments.
Expenses were unchanged. Credit impairments amounted to SEK 16m (11) and were mainly explained by model updates, partly offset by updated macroeconomic scenarios.

1) Net interest income and net gains and losses on financial items mainly stem from Group Treasury. Other income mainly refers to income from the savings banks. Expenses mainly relate to Group Products & Advice and Group Staffs and are allocated to a large extent.
During the quarter, profit was unchanged at SEK 313m (313).
Net interest income increased by SEK 40m, driven by lower compensation to the business areas for deposits as well as lower funding costs, partly offset by lower income from the business areas for lending as well as lower income from central bank holdings.
Net gains and losses on financial items amounted to SEK 34m (96). The change between quarters was mainly related to negative revaluation effects of shareholdings, partly offset by positive unrealised revaluation effects of derivatives.
Expenses decreased on a seasonal basis, primarily driven by lower IT and consulting expenses as well as by lower staff costs.
2) Other income includes the items Net insurance, Share of profit or loss of associates and joint ventures and Other income from the Group income statement.

For the period January – September 2025 a loss after tax of SEK -102m (59) was recognised in other comprehensive income, relating to remeasurements of defined benefit pension plans. As per 30 September 2025 the discount rate used to calculate the closing pension obligation was 4.01 per cent, compared with 3.86 per cent per 31 December 2024. The inflation assumption was 1.61 per cent compared with 1.72 per cent per 31 December 2024. The fair value of plan assets decreased during 2025 by SEK 674 m. In total, at 30 September 2025 the fair value of plan assets exceeded the obligation for funded defined benefit pension plans by SEK 3 866 m, therefore the funded plans are presented as an asset.
For January – September 2025 an exchange rate difference of SEK -3 236m (1 129) was recognised for the Group's foreign net investments in subsidiaries. The loss related to subsidiaries mainly arose because the Swedish krona strengthened against the euro during the period. In addition, an exchange rate difference of SEK -- -18m (4) for the Group's foreign net investments in associates and joint ventures is included in Share of other comprehensive income of associates and joint ventures. The total loss of SEK -3 254m is not taxable. Most of the Group's foreign net investments are hedged against currency risk resulting in a loss after tax of SEK 2 187m (-729) for the hedging instruments.

The interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The condensed consolidated financial statements have also been prepared in accordance with the recommendations and statements of the Swedish Corporate Reporting Board, the Annual Accounts Act for Credit Institutions and Securities Companies and the directives of the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (SFSA).
The Parent Company report has been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act for Credit Institutions and Securities Companies, the directives of the SFSA and recommendation RFR 2 of the Swedish Corporate Reporting Board.
The accounting policies applied in the interim report conform to those applied in the Annual and Sustainability Report for 2024, which was prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS accounting standards) as adopted by the European Union and interpretations thereof.
The financial statements are presented in Swedish kronor and all figures are rounded to millions of kronor (SEKm) unless otherwise indicated. No adjustments for rounding are made, therefore summation differences may occur.
Amended regulations that are applicable from 1 January 2025 did not have a significant impact on the Group's financial position, results, cash flows or disclosures.
Presentation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the executive management to make judgments and estimates that affect the recognised amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the reporting date as well as the recognised income and expenses during the reporting period. The executive management continuously evaluates these judgments and estimates, including assessing control over investment funds, the fair value of financial instruments, provisions for credit impairment, impairment testing of goodwill, provisions and contingent liabilities, defined
benefit pension provisions, insurance contracts and deferred taxes.
Post-model expert credit adjustments to the credit impairment provisions continue to be necessary, given the geopolitical and economic uncertainties. Further information is provided in Note 10.
Beyond this, there have been no significant changes to the basis upon which the critical accounting judgments and estimates have been determined compared with 31 December 2024.
During the third quarter 2025 no significant changes to the Group structure occurred.

During the second quarter 2025, an allocation model regarding fund savings between Swedish banking and Premium and Private Banking was updated, why comparatives have been restated. The change as impacted net commission income, other expenses and tax expense
1) Other income includes the items Net insurance, Share of profit or loss of associates and joint ventures and Other income from the Group income statement.
2) There has been a reclassification of commission income from row Asset management and custody to Insurance within row Other commission income. The figures above have been restated.
3) Other commission income includes Service concepts, Insurance, Securities and corporate finance and Other, see Note 6.
The operating segment report is based on Swedbank's accounting policies, organisation and management accounts. Market-based transfer prices are applied between operating segments, while all expenses for Group functions and Group staffs are transfer priced at cost to the operating segments. Cross-border transfer pricing is applied according to OECD transfer pricing guidelines.
The Group's equity attributable to shareholders is allocated to each operating segment based on capital adequacy rules and estimated capital requirements
based on the bank's Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP).
The return on allocated equity for the operating segments is calculated based on profit for the period attributable to the shareholders for the operating segment, in relation to average monthly allocated equity for the operating segment. For periods shorter than one year the key ratio is annualised.
During January-September 2025, no organizational changes between Swedbank's operating segments were made.

1) There has been a reclassification from row Asset management and custody to row Insurance. Comparative figures have been restated for 2024.
From the third quarter 2025 general terms in client contracts regarding card acquiring have been adjusted to clarify that Swedbank is acting as an agent in relation to external card issuers and card scheme providers. As a result in agent relations, as opposed to principal relations, fees charged the clients for services provided by external card issuers and card schemes are not
recognised as Commission income and Commission expense. For the third quarter such fees transferred via Swedbank amounted to SEK 693m. The change of terms does not impact Net commission income. If Swedbank had been principal instead of agent, both Commission income and Commission expense would each have been SEK 693m higher.

During the third quarter 2025 a portfolio of loans to private persons was disposed. The loans were classified in stage 3. The disposal of the loans in stage 3 resulted in write offs amounting to SEK 323m together with reversals of credit impairment provisions amounting to SEK 332m.
The measurement of expected credit losses is described in Note G3 section 3.1 Credit risk on pages 244-249 of the 2024 Annual and Sustainability Report.
Geopolitical tensions, supply chain disruptions and increased global tariffs result in uncertainty regarding potential deteriorations in credit quality, beyond what is currently captured in the quantitative risk models. Therefore, post-model expert credit adjustments
continue to be made to capture increased credit risk, such as potential future rating and stage migrations.
Post-model expert credit adjustments amounted to SEK 364m (SEK 594m at 30 June 2025, SEK 720m at 31 December 2024) and are allocated as SEK 240m in stage 1 and SEK 123m in stage 2 (SEK 365m in stage 1, SEK 229m in stage 2 at 30 June 2025). Customers and industries are reviewed and analysed considering the current situation, particularly in more vulnerable sectors. During the third quarter, the largest releases of postmodel expert credit adjustments were in Manufacturing and Property management sectors, where the risks are increasingly captured in the macroeconomic scenarios and the quantitative risk models. The most significant post-model adjustments at 30 September 2025 were in the Property management, Manufacturing and Agriculture, forestry, fishing sectors.
The tables below show the quantitative thresholds used by the Group for assessing a significant increase in credit risk, namely:
Alternatively, for exposures originated with risk grades 18 to 21, an increase of 200-300 per cent from initial recognition is considered significant except for Swedish mortgages where an absolute 12-month PD threshold is also applied.
These limits reflect a lower sensitivity to change in the low-risk end of the risk scale and a higher sensitivity to change in the high-risk end of the scale. The Group has performed a sensitivity analysis on how credit impairment provisions would change if thresholds applied were increased or decreased. A lower threshold would increase the number of loans that have migrated from Stage 1 to Stage 2 and also increase the estimated credit impairment provisions. A higher threshold would have the opposite effect.
The tables below disclose the impacts of this sensitivity analysis on the credit impairment provisions. Positive amounts represent higher credit impairment provisions that would be recognised.

The US has now imposed higher tariffs on the majority of its trading partners, at levels not seen since the 1930s. Additional sectoral tariffs are most likely coming, and changes to the tariffs that have recently been set cannot be ruled out. The uncertainty has not faded – it's here to stay.
The global economy has so far been more resilient than expected. The tariffs will need to be paid, however, and the US economy will bear the lion's share of the burden. European growth will be weak, but increased defence spending, lower policy rates and higher consumption will provide some support.
A slower economy amid rising inflation has put the US Federal Reserve in an awkward spot. We deem that inflation stemming from tariffs will be temporary, enabling the Fed to cut rates by 100 bps the coming 12 months. In the euro area, the inflation outlook remains benign; we expect the European Central Bank to cut rates by 50 bps during the winter.
Despite global turbulence, the Swedish economy is expected to grow at a solid pace in 2026-27. Household finances and confidence will continue to strengthen, supporting consumption, although tariffs and a weak global outlook will weigh on exports and investment. The budget bill for 2026 includes large tax cuts offering a modest fiscal boost.
Despite global trade tensions, we expect growth to pick up in all three Baltic countries next year, largely supported by domestic demand. The housing market is recovering rapidly and demand for mortgages is rising, while corporates are also stepping up investments, particularly in renewable energy.
The following table presents the credit impairment provisions as at year end that would result from applying only the downside or only the upside scenario, which are considered reasonably possible. Post-model expert credit adjustments are assumed to be constant in the results.

Swedish bank tax on credit institutions is levied at 0.06 percent of the credit institution's total adjusted debt at the beginning of the financial year.
The Lithuanian solidarity contribution tax is temporary from May 2023 until year end 2025. The tax rate is 60 per cent and is applied to the part of the adjusted net interest income earned during the period which exceeds the average net interest income for the years 2019-2022 by more than 50 per cent. The reduced solidarity contribution tax is the result of decreased adjusted net interest income during the period compared to average
net interest income during the comparison period. No additional bank tax was accounted for in Q3, as the two previous quarters accounted bank tax is estimated to cover the expected bank tax for the period Q1 to Q3.
The Latvian mortgage levy that applied in 2024 has been replaced in 2025 with a solidarity contribution tax. The tax rate is 60 per cent and is applied to the part of the adjusted net interest income earned during the period which exceeds the average net interest income for the years 2018-2022 by more than 50 per cent.

1) Financial leasing agreements, when the Group is acting as lessor, are included in the valuation category Amortised cost since they are covered by provisions for expected credit losses.
2) Nominal amount of debts securities in issue designated at fair value through profit or loss was SEK 115m.
The determination of fair value, the valuation hierarchy and the valuation process for fair value measurements in Level 3 are described in the Annual and Sustainability Report 2024, note G47 Fair value of financial instruments.
The financial instruments are distributed in three levels depending on the degree of observable market data in the valuation and activity in the market.
The following tables present fair values of financial instruments recognised at fair value split between the three valuation hierarchy levels.

Financial instruments are transferred to or from level 3 depending on whether the internal assumptions have changed in significance to the valuation.
Level 3 mainly comprises strategic unlisted shares. These include holdings in VISA Inc. C shares, which are subject to selling restrictions until June 2028 and under certain conditions may have to be returned. Liquid
quotes are not available for these shares, therefore the fair value is established with significant elements of Swedbank's own internal assumptions. During the third quarter a conversion of Visa C-shares were made to Ashares. The carrying amount of the holdings in Visa Inc. C amounted as per 30 September 2025 to SEK 117m (SEK 344m 31 December 2024).
During the second quarter shares in Kepler Cheuvreux were sold for SEK 223m.
In the Group's insurance operations, fund units are held in which the customers have chosen to invest their insurance savings. The holdings are reported in the balance sheet as financial assets where the customers
bear the investment risk and are normally measured at fair value according to level 1, because the units are traded in an active market. The Group's obligations to insurance savers are reported as financial liabilities where the customers bear the investment risk because it is the customers who bear the entire market value change of the assets. The liabilities are normally measured at fair value according to level 2.
During the first quarter 2022, trading was closed in whole or in part in Russia and Eastern Europe targeted funds. Remaining unit holdings, only correlated to the Russia funds, and related liabilities to the insurance savers have been measured at fair value according to level 3 and been measured at value SEK 0m.

During the third quarter, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced that it has concluded its investigation of Swedbank, regarding historical disclosures of information, without enforcement. The US Department of Justice (DoJ) and the Department of Financial Services in New York (DFS) are still investigating Swedbank's historical work against money laundering and terrorist financing, as well as historical disclosures of information.
At present, Swedbank cannot assess the extent of any financial consequences or when these investigations will be completed. It is therefore not possible to reliably estimate the potential financial impacts, which could be material.
On 20 December 2024, the Swedish Pensions Agency filed a SEK 2 790m lawsuit against Swedbank in the Stockholm District Court for Swedbank's role as a custodian of the Optimus High Yield fund during the period 2012–2015. Swedbank contests the Swedish Pensions Agency's claim and has not allocated any provisions for the Swedish Pensions Agency's suit.
Swedbank has applied for a VAT refund for the years 2016 and 2019-2023. This is following the Swedish Tax Agency's approval of a new method for calculating deductible VAT, based on a change in legal precedent from the Supreme Administrative Court in 2023. Swedbank has not yet received a response.
The tables below present recognised financial instruments that have been offset in the balance sheet under IAS 32 and those that are subject to legally enforceable master netting or similar agreements but do not qualify for offset. Such financial instruments relate to derivatives, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, securities settlements, securities borrowing and lending transactions. Collateral amounts represent financial instruments or cash collateral received or pledged for transactions that are subject to
a legally enforceable master netting or similar agreements and which allow for the netting of obligations against the counterparty in the event of a default. Collateral amounts are limited to the amount of the related instruments presented in the balance sheet; therefore any over-collateralisation is not included. Amounts that are not offset in the balance sheet are presented as a reduction to the financial assets or liabilities in order to derive net asset and net liability exposure.

This note provides information on the internal capital assessment according to chapter 8, section 4 of the SFSA's regulation on prudential requirements and capital buffers (2014:12). The internal capital assessment is published in the interim report according to chapter 8, section 4 of the SFSA's regulation and general advice on annual reports from credit institutions and investment firms (2008:25).
A bank must identify, measure and manage the risks with which its activities are associated and have sufficient capital to cover these risks. The purpose of the Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) is to ensure that the bank is sufficiently capitalised to cover its risks and to conduct and develop its business activities. Swedbank applies its own models and processes to evaluate its capital need for all relevant risks. The models that serve as a basis for the internal capital assessment evaluate the need for economic capital over a one-year horizon at a 99.9 per cent confidence level for each type of risk. Diversification effects between various types of risks are not taken into account in the calculation of economic capital.
As a complement to the economic capital calculation, scenario-based simulations and stress tests are conducted at least once a year. The analyses provide an overview of the most important risks Swedbank is exposed to by quantifying their impact on the income statement and balance sheet as well as the own funds and risk-weighted assets. The purpose is to ensure efficient use of capital. This methodology serves as a basis of proactive risk and capital management.
As of 30 September 2025, the internal capital assessment for Swedbank's consolidated situation amounted to SEK 62.1bn (SEK 65.5bn as of 31 December 2024). Swedbank's internal capital assessment using its own models is not comparable with the estimated capital requirement that the SFSA releases quarterly and does not consider the SFSA riskweight floor for Swedish mortgages.
In addition to what is stated in this interim report, risk management and capital adequacy according to the Basel III framework are described in more detail in Swedbank's Annual and Sustainability Report 2024 as well as in Swedbank's yearly Risk Management and Capital Adequacy Report, available on http://www.swedbank.com.
Swedbank's earnings are affected by changes in the global marketplace over which it has no control, including macroeconomic factors such as GDP, asset prices and unemployment, as well as changes in interest rates, equity prices and exchange rates.
The geopolitical situation remains uncertain due to continued unrest in the Middle East, the ongoing Russian aggression against Ukraine, and increasingly protectionist trade policies. Swedbank has low to negligible direct exposures to the counterparts at war and is well positioned to manage the indirect risks that may arise from the heightened geopolitical uncertainty. Trade restrictions such as tariffs and other trade barriers have significant direct and indirect effects on the economies of our home markets, and consequently also on Swedbank's borrowers.
Economic growth in the Nordic and Baltic regions is showing signs of recovery, although shifts in global trade policy and various geopolitical tensions increases the downside risks.
Global inflation is decreasing, and several central banks, including the Riksbank and the European Central Bank (ECB) have decreased interest rates. At the same time, increased geopolitical uncertainty due to new trade tariffs and unrest in the Middle East has complicated the task for central banks and created uncertainty about the future economic outlook.
Swedbank continuously monitors operational risks and focuses on areas where the risks are assessed to be the highest. Swedbank has prioritised efforts concerning cyber, IT and information security risks. During the third quarter, several IT incidents occurred that affected accessibility to critical channels and payment services. Multiple measures were implemented to enhance IT stability. Swedbank has numerous ongoing initiatives aimed at further improving operational resilience and ensuring a high level of availability for customers.
Geopolitical tensions persist, and Swedbank continues to prioritise actions to strengthen Swedbank's digital operational resilience. Swedbank closely monitors developments in these matters and possesses strong capabilities to manage associated risks.
For risks related to the ongoing investigations of authorities in US related to historic anti-money laundering compliance and response related to antimoney laundering controls, please refer to Note 22 Assets pledged, contingent liabilities and commitments.
The tax area is complex and there can be a scope for different interpretations. Practices and interpretations of applicable laws can be changed, sometimes retroactively. In the event that the tax authorities and, where appropriate, the tax courts decide on a different interpretation than what Swedbank initially made, it could impact the Group's operations, results and financial position.
In addition to what is stated in this interim report, detailed descriptions are provided in Swedbank's 2024 Annual and Sustainability report and in the disclosures in the Risk Management and Capital Adequacy reports available at www.swedbank.com.

1) Swedbank's calculation based on the SFSA's announced leverage ratio requirements, including Pillar 2 requirements and Pillar 2 guidance.
Swedbank prepares its financial statements in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU, as set out in Note 1. The interim report includes a number of alternative performance measures, which exclude certain items that management believes are not representative of the underlying/ongoing performance of the business. Therefore the alternative performance measures provide more comparative information between periods. Management believes that inclusion of these measures provides information to the readers that enable comparability between periods.
Measure and definition Purpose
Calculated as Net interest income in relation to average total assets excluding trading related assets. The average is calculated using month-end figures1, including the prior year end. The nearest IFRS measure is Net interest income and can be reconciled in Note 5.
The key ratio replaces the previously reported key ratio net investment margin before trading interest is deducted. The previous key ratio included interest from trading-related assets, which is reported within Net gains and losses on financial items in the income statement. Net interest margin is considered a more relevant ratio going forward as it only reflects interest that is reported within Net interest income in the income statement.
Expresses the difference, the margin, between the percentage return on non-trading assets and the costs of financing.
Allocated equity is the operating segment's equity measure and is not directly required by IFRS. The Group's equity attributable to shareholders is allocated to each operating segment based on capital adequacy rules and estimated capital requirements based on the bank's internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP). The allocated equity amounts per operating segment are reconciled to the Group Total equity, the nearest IFRS measure, in Note 4.
Used by Group Management for internal governance and operating segment performance management purposes.
Calculated based on profit for the period (annualised) attributable to the shareholders for the operating segment, in relation to average allocated equity for the operating segment. The average is calculated using month-end figures1, including the prior year end. The allocated equity amounts per operating segment are reconciled to the Group Total equity, the nearest IFRS measure, in Note 4.
Used by Group Management for internal governance and operating segment performance management purposes.
These measures are defined in the Factbook on page 77 and are calculated from the financial statements without adjustment.
Used by Group Management for internal governance and operating segment performance management purposes.
1) The month-end figures used in the calculation of the average can be found on page 71 of the Factbook.
The Board of Directors and the President hereby certify that the Interim report for January-September 2025 provides a fair and accurate overview of the operations, position and results of the parent company and the Group and describes the significant risks and uncertainties faced by the parent company and the companies in the Group.

To the Board of Directors of Swedbank AB (publ) registration no. 502017-7753
We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Swedbank AB (publ) as of 30 September 2025 and the nine-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the interim financial information 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 Report 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 is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, ISA, 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 interim 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 with the Annual Accounts Act for credit institutions and securities companies, regarding the Parent Company.
