Swedbank delivers a strong result further supported by positive one-off and timing effects. We create value for our customers and shareholders in both good and bad times.
The global economy is being challenged by increased geopolitical uncertainty, low growth and high debt levels. In Europe, there are also significant investment needs. During the quarter, the Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank and the Riksbank all cut their policy rates in the wake of falling inflation.
Looking at our home markets, the situation is mixed. Lithuania's economy is performing strongly, while Latvia's is more sluggish. In Sweden and Estonia, it will take time before households feel the impact of a stronger purchasing power. All our home markets are well positioned for the future.
Swedbank's result for the quarter increased by 9 per cent and amounted to SEK 9 379m. The return on equity was 18.4 per cent. Income increased partly due to oneoff effects. Costs decreased seasonally, and as a consequence of the temporary hiring freeze and strict cost control. The cost/income ratio fell to 0.31. Expenses for bank taxes have increased so far this year compared to the same period in the previous year. Credit quality is solid.
The work with the review process of the bank's internal risk classification models is estimated to continue with approvals being granted during 2025 and 2026.
Competition for mortgage loans is intense in all our home markets but we maintain our leading positions. During the quarter, we reduced our mortgage rates. Lending increased in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, and was stable in Sweden.
In Sweden, deposit volumes fell on a seasonal basis, while increasing in the Baltic countries, where disposable incomes grew.
Savings are an important part of our heritage, and we continue to build a strong savings culture. Now our Baltic customers can increase their spontaneous savings by automatically rounding up their purchases and depositing the extra amount in a savings account.
Through our new savings platform we have laid the foundation for a new savings experience for our customers. This also frees up time for advisors to provide more customers with high quality advice.
By having the best comprehensive offering for our customers, Swedbank will reach its long-term target of a return on equity of at least 15 per cent by 2025.
In both corporate banking and Premium and Private Banking, we have strengthened our local presence. We continue to optimise our routines to meet more customers and generate new business. And we are doing so by combining our local presence with national expertise.
Corporate lending decreased in Sweden, while the bond market was characterised by high activity. In the Baltic countries, corporate lending grew. During the year, 34 per cent of all the bonds we arranged were sustainable bonds. This is the highest share among Nordic banks. In terms of our own funding activities, we have issued our first green covered bond.
Cyber threats are a reality we and other important actors in society have to deal with. We are well prepared to handle this. Maintaining high availability is a priority.
Fraud remains a serious societal problem. During the quarter, we launched Savings Account Plus, which delays withdrawals to protect customers against unintended transactions. We have also selectively limited international payments after a period of inactivity.
Sustainability is at the core of our business strategy. Our sustainability work is based on two pillars: financial health and energy transition. During the quarter, we continued to build financial literacy among the many. Together with our partner, Ramboll, we have launched the Incept platform to assist our corporate customers with commercial real estate in their energy transition.
I am proud that Swedbank has been named Sweden's second most equal company in Allbright's gender equality report.
For the sixth consecutive year, Swedbank was named the most loved brand in the Baltic countries. To achieve a similar result in Sweden, a long-term effort is now underway focused on our customer promise of an easier financial life.
Our customers' future is our focus.

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 57.
Swedbank's profit increased to SEK 9 379m (8 595). Income increased while expenses declined. Credit impairments increased. The tax expense rose as a result of the increased profit. Foreign exchange effects negatively impacted profit by SEK 43m before impairments, bank taxes and resolution fees.
The return on equity was 18.4 per cent (17.5) and the cost/income ratio was 0.31 (0.35).
Income increased to SEK 19 146m (18 237). Foreign exchange effects negatively impacted income by SEK 66m.
Net interest income increased slightly to SEK 12 229m (12 165). Lower interest rates on lending were offset by lower costs for both market funding and deposits. One extra day during the quarter as well as a minor adjustment impacted net interest income positively.
Net commission income rose by 3 per cent to SEK 4 286m (4 169). It was mainly driven by an increase in asset management, which was a result of a positive market development and an extra day during the quarter. Income from the card business was seasonally higher.
Net gains and losses on financial items increased by 28 per cent to SEK 1 170m (911). The largest part of the change was related to positive revaluation effects of interest rate derivatives and to bond repurchases in Group Treasury.
Other income grew by 47 per cent to SEK 1 461m (991). The increase was related to revaluation effects in the insurance business as well as to the results from partlyowned companies. A one-off effect of SEK 120m due to a revision to Entercard's credit impairment model in Sweden contributed positively.
Expenses decreased by 7 per cent to SEK 5 986m (6 465) mainly due to lower consulting, marketing, and staff costs. Consulting expenses fell partly due to seasonality and partly due to the front loading of investments to the first half of the year. Marketing expenses decreased on account of one-off and seasonal effects. Staff costs decreased due to fewer employees as well as a seasonal decrease in salary costs primarily in the Baltic countries and PayEx.
Foreign exchange effects reduced expenses by SEK 23m.
Credit impairments amounted to SEK 271m (-289). Rating and stage of migrations accounted for SEK 428m (282), while post-model adjustments fell by SEK 84m (-43). Credit impairments for individually assessed loans increased by SEK 337m (207). Updated macroeconomic scenarios reduced credit impairments by SEK 95m (-253).
Bank taxes and resolution fees amounted to SEK 1 012m (1 045).
The income tax expense amounted to SEK 2 497m (2 388) and corresponded to an effective tax rate of 21.0 per cent (21.7). The lower effective tax rate in the quarter was mainly due to the distribution of the result for the period among the Baltic countries and a higher share of profit from associated companies and joint ventures.
Swedbank's profit increased to SEK 26 401m (25 808) as a result of higher income and lower credit impairments partly offset by higher expenses. Expenses rose primarily due to increased staff costs and IT expenses. Bank taxes in the Baltic countries negatively impacted profit. Foreign exchange effects negatively impacted profit before impairments, bank taxes and resolution fees by SEK 95m.
The return on equity was 17.5 per cent (18.9) and the cost income ratio was 0.34 (0.33).

1) Income statement excluding expenses for the administrative fines.
Income increased to SEK 55 470m (54 028) mainly related to higher net commission income. Net gains and losses on financial items and other income also contributed, while net interest income decreased. Foreign exchange effects negatively impacted profit by SEK 125m.
Net interest income amounted to SEK 36 993m (37 605). Net interest income was negatively impacted by declining interest rates, partly offset by lower funding costs.
Net commission income increased by 10 per cent to SEK 12 430m (11 334). The rise was primarily related to asset management, which benefitted from the upturn in market values.
Net gains and losses on financial items increased by 32 per cent to SEK 2 763m (2 093), mainly due to revaluation effects within Group Treasury.
Other income rose by 10 per cent to SEK 3 283m (2 997). The increase was primarily related to revaluation effects within the insurance business as well as increased sales of services to the savings banks.
Expenses increased by 5 per cent to SEK 18 636m (17 689). The rise was mainly driven by higher staff costs related to higher salaries and more employees, as well as higher IT expenses.
Credit impairments amounted to SEK 126m (1 311). The change was primarily due to improved macroeconomic scenarios.
Bank taxes and resolution fees amounted to SEK 3 162m (2 472). The increase was mainly related to the introduction of temporary bank taxes in Lithuania and Latvia.
The income tax expense amounted to SEK 7 112m (6 734), corresponding to an effective tax rate of 21.2 per cent (20.7). The higher effective tax rate in 2024 is primarily due to a higher tax expense both in Estonia as a result of a higher corporate tax rate and in Sweden due to an increase in non-deductible interest expenses for subordinated loans.
Swedbank mainly conducts business in the product areas of lending, deposits, fund savings and life insurance, and payments.
Lending to customers decreased by SEK 3bn to SEK 1 796bn (1 799) during the quarter. Compared to the same quarter in the previous year, lending fell by SEK 12bn. Foreign exchange effects negatively impacted lending volumes by SEK 3bn compared to the second quarter of 2024, and negatively by SEK 9bn compared to the same quarter in 2023.

For more information on credit exposures, provisions, and credit quality, see notes 10 and 12-14 as well as pages 40-48 of the Factbook.
During the quarter, Swedish and international interest rates fell sharply, largely due to U.S. data showing signs of a weaker economy and lower inflation.
The Riksbank, which was early in its rate cutting cycle compared to other central banks, reduced its policy rate twice in the quarter by a total of 0.50 percentage points.
The risk appetite in the market was good during the quarter, which contributed to stable credit spreads.
Swedbank was active in the funding markets. During the quarter, issuance primarily consisted of covered bonds in SEK, including the first green covered bond. In total, Swedbank issued SEK 29bn in long-term debt instruments during the quarter. As of 30 September, Swedbank's outstanding short-term funding in issue amounted to SEK 384bn (322). 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.

During the quarter, S&P revised its outlook on Swedbank to positive to reflect Swedbank's progress in reconstructing its risk management framework and in
strengthening its anti-money laundering (AML) functions. No other changes were made to Swedbank's ratings. For more information on the ratings, see page 69 of the Factbook.

Operational risk exposure was stable. Information security and cybersecurity have been a priority. Further focus has been placed on strengthening IT security and ensuring a high level of availability for our customers.
The work to prevent financial crime is continuing. The Swedish Bankers' Association has completed industrywide guidelines for protecting customers against fraud, and implementation in our workflows is ongoing.
The Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio was 20.4 per cent (20.1) at the end of the quarter. The total CET1 capital requirement, including Pillar 2 guidance, was 15.1 per cent (15.1) of the Risk Exposure Amount (REA), which resulted in a CET1 capital buffer of 5.2 per cent (5.0). CET1 capital increased to SEK 175bn (171) and was mainly affected by the quarterly profit net of the anticipated dividend.

REA increased to SEK 858bn (848) in the third quarter.
REA for credit risks increased by SEK 20bn due to increased volumes mainly within Baltic Banking, higher volumes within counterparty risk and account of the ECB's introduction of the add-on on REA for IRB models. The add-on is a result of the ECB's approval of Swedbank's plan for model updates. This was offset by a decrease in the Article 3 add-on.
2) The liquidity coverage ratio has been recalculated and figures prior to 2024 have been adjusted.
REA also decreased due to foreign exchange effects.
(Refers to Swedbank consolidated situation)

The leverage ratio was 6.4 per cent (6.7) and therefore exceeds the leverage ratio requirement including Pillar 2 guidance of 3.5 per cent.
The Swedish FSA has decided on new capital requirements after the annual SREP. The decision resulted in a largely unchanged Pillar 2 requirement (P2R). In relation to the risk exposure amount (REA), P2R for CET1 amounted to 1.9 per cent (1.8) and Pillar 2 guidance (P2G) was unchanged at 0.5 per cent. P2G for leverage was unchanged at 0.5 per cent of the exposure amount.
On account of the guidelines from the European Banking Authority, as well as the forthcoming implementation of CRR 3, Swedbank is applying for approval of new internal risk classification models. The bank estimates that the review process will continue with approvals being granted during 2025 and 2026.
Swedbank previously decided on an Article 3 add-on corresponding to the bank's estimate of the remaining impact on REA after the introduction of the remaining risk classification models. This add-on has been reduced to SEK 8bn in line with the phase-in that has already occurred. The Swedish FSA has also introduced a temporary add-on of 1 per cent in P2R related to the ongoing review of the models.
The revised Capital Requirements Regulation CRR 3 takes effect in 2025 with a phase-in period through 2032. The revisions include changes to the standardised approaches and internal models used to calculate capital requirements for credit, market and
operational risk, as well as an output floor for internal models. The implementation of the requirements for market risk has been postponed by one year and take effect in 2026. The revised CRR 3 is expected to result in a limited increase in REA, based on revised coefficients for operational risk.
U.S. authorities continue to investigate Swedbank's historical anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing work and historical information disclosures. The investigations, which are being conducted by the Department of Justice (DoJ), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Department of Financial Services in New York (DFS), are continuing and the bank is holding individual discussions with the authorities through its U.S. legal advisors. The investigations are at different stages and the bank cannot at this time determine any financial consequences or when the investigations will be completed.
Swedbank has been ranked second in gender equality among Swedish companies by Allbright. This award is recognition of the bank´s long-term work and commitment to promote equality. Allbright is an independent foundation that promotes diversity in business and conducts annual surveys and analyses of Swedish companies to assess their gender equality work.
Swedbank AB received an administrative fine of SEK 50 000 for late notification of holdings of shares and votes in Oscar Properties Holding AB above the disclosure limit.
On 3 October, it was announced that Anders Karlsson will leave his position as Chief Financial Officer for Swedbank to become General Manager for the bank´s branch in the U.S. He has served as CFO since 2016 and will assume his new role by the beginning of next year.
On 17 October, it was announced that Jon Lidefelt has been appointed the Chief Financial Officer of Swedbank. He was most recently head of the business area Baltic Banking and is already a member of the Group Executive Committee. He will assume his new role on 1 November 2024. Olof Sundblad has been named acting head of Baltic Banking and will become a member of the Group Executive Committee.

Digital annual loan statements and notifications about changes in interest rates were also added as new features.
Swedbank's "Ung Ekonomi" initiative provided financial literacy education for around 19 000 young people during the quarter. To date, just over 67 000 young people have been educated this year.

Mortgage volume in Swedish Banking decreased by SEK 1bn and corporate loans by SEK 1bn.
Deposit volumes fell by SEK 6bn, with household deposits decreasing by SEK 5bn and corporate deposits by SEK 1bn.

Business activity and demand from small and midsized corporates were subdued during the quarter.
Inflows to fixed income funds, combined with interest rate cuts, helped to maintain a high bond market activity. In addition, falling interest rates have resulted in a high level of business activity in relation to interest rate hedges and bond issuances. Thanks to improved market conditions in the real estate sector, a number of companies turned to the capital market. Foreign exchange trading increased during the latter part of the quarter on account of the higher volatility in the market.
Lending to the real estate sector decreased during the quarter partly driven by lower use of credit facilities. Lending to other companies fell as well.
Deposit volume decreased due to lower short-term deposits in foreign currency funds. Corporate deposits also fell, partly due to the Riksbank's quantitative tightening.
Net interest income decreased during the quarter primarily related to lower deposit margins.
Net commission income increased mainly due to higher income from bond issues and asset management.
Net gains and losses on financial items fell slightly primarily driven by negative revaluation effects on derivatives.
Expenses related to employees and consulting services decreased on a seasonal basis.
Credit impairments amounted to SEK125m (-84). Increased provisions for individually assessed loans and negative rating and stage migrations were partly offset by lower expert credit adjustments, improved macroeconomic scenarios and changes in exposures.

Through national expertise and a strong local presence, Premium and Private Banking offers a comprehensive range of products and services for customers in Sweden who need ´high availability and personalised advice. The business area also offers asset management solutions for corporate customers and is responsible for the bank's occupational pension advisory.
During the quarter, the number of new Premium and Private Banking customers increased as a result of our strategy to acquire external customers and attract existing customers to our concepts. The positive trend is the result of continuous efforts to meet more complex customer needs. Customers are offered advice both online and in person, and a significant increase in demand for digital meetings is noted.
The inflow to our asset management services continued to rise during the quarter. Volumes of occupational
pensions, including individual pensions, also developed strongly. An increase in mortgage volumes was generated from high-net-worth clients.
Profit during the quarter was slightly lower than the previous quarter with stable income offset by increased expenses.
Income during the quarter was driven by increased net commission income. The market upturn contributed, as did higher income from asset management and new customers. Net interest income decreased during the quarter primarily related to lower deposit margins.
Expenses increased due to higher number of employees.
Lending increased slightly while deposits fell by SEK 2bn.
Credit impairments amounted to SEK 2m (-27).
2) Comparative figures related to Net commission income have been restated during Q2 2024 for the Swedish business areas.
3) 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.

Net gains and losses on financial items within Group Treasury rose by SEK 279m mainly related to positive revaluation effects on interest rate derivatives and positive effects from bond repurchases.
Expenses decreased primarily driven by lower consulting and staff costs partly offset by higher IT expenses.
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 2024 a gain after tax of SEK 59m (969) was recognised in other comprehensive income, relating to remeasurements of defined benefit pension plans. As per 30 September 2024 the discount rate used to calculate the closing pension obligation was 3.36 per cent, compared with 3.69 per cent per 31 December 2023. The inflation assumption was 1.55 per cent compared with 1.57 per cent per 31 December 2023. The fair value of plan assets increased during 2024 by SEK 1 160 m. In total, at 30 September 2024 the fair value of plan assets exceeded the obligation for funded defined benefit pension plans by SEK 2 242 m, therefore the funded plans are presented as an asset.
For January – September 2024 an exchange rate difference of SEK 1 129m (2 214) was recognised for the Group's foreign net investments in subsidiaries. The gain related to subsidiaries mainly arose because the Swedish krona weakened against the euro during the period. In addition, an exchange rate difference of SEK 4m (-18) 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 gain of SEK 1 133m is not taxable. Most of the Group's foreign net investments are hedged against currency risk resulting in a loss after tax of SEK -729m (-1 350) 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 2023, which was prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting 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.
In order to provide a better overview of the financial statements, items within these have been aggregated from the first quarter 2024.
Amended regulations that are applicable from 1 January 2024 did not have a significant impact on the Group's financial position, results, cash flows or disclosures.
The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has published IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements, which is not yet applied by Swedbank.
IFRS 18 was issued in April 2024. The standard will be effective from January 1, 2027, and has not yet been adopted by the European Union. The new standard replaces IAS 1 and introduces new requirements primarily for the presentation of financial statements and disclosures about certain performance measures.
Impact on the Group's financial statements is currently being assessed.
The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has published amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments, IFRS 9 and IFRS 7.
The amendments mainly provide guidance on how to assess the contractual cash flows of a financial asset that include contingent features and related disclosure requirements.
The amendments were issued in May 2024 and will be effective from January 1, 2026. They have not yet been adopted by the European Union.
Impact on the Group's financial statements is currently being assessed.
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 2023.
During the third quarter Swedbank AB acquired all the shares in the Estonian company Paywerk AS. Paywerk offers a BNPL portal (Buy now pay later).

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.
From the first quarter 2024, the operation within Premium and Private Banking is reported as a separate business segment. The operation was previously reported within Swedish Banking. In connection with the change the corporate customers, which are handled by advisors, have been moved to Corporates and Institutions. The comparative figures have been restated. In addition to this, there have been a few minor transfers of support functions between the segments and Group Functions and Other.

Provisions for individually assessed loans in stage 3 increased by SEK 337m during the third quarter 2024.
During the second quarter 2024 a portfolio of loans to private persons was disposed. The loans were either classified in stage 3 or were previously written off. The disposal of the loans in stage 3 resulted in write offs amounting to SEK 505m together with reversals of credit impairment provisions amounting to SEK 496m. The disposal of loans previously written off resulted in recoveries amounting to SEK 145m.
The measurement of expected credit losses is described in Note G3.1 Credit risk on pages 86-91 of the 2023 Annual and Sustainability Report.
High inflation, high interest rates and overall costs levels observed in previous periods, combined with geopolitical instability, continue to weigh on private persons and companies, resulting in a high level of
uncertainty regarding impact on credit risk. As the quantitative risk models do not yet reflect all potential deteriorations in credit quality, post-model adjustments have been made to capture potential future rating and stage migrations.
Post-model expert credit adjustments to increase the credit impairment provisions continue to be deemed necessary and amounted to SEK 858m (SEK 946m at 30 June 2024, SEK 1 324m at 31 December 2023) and are allocated as SEK 476m in stage 1 and SEK 382m in stage 2 (SEK 505m in stage 1, SEK 441m in stage 2 at 30 June 2024). Customers and industries are reviewed and analysed considering the current situation, particularly in more vulnerable sectors. During the third quarter, the largest releases of post-model expert credit adjustments were in Property management sector related to rating changes. The most significant postmodel adjustments at 30 September 2024 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 prospects for global growth are subdued. The US economy is expected to experience a slowdown, although it will avoid an outright recession. Meanwhile, China's growth seems bound to edge lower. The euro area remains in stagnation, but a gradual recovery in domestic demand is expected next year as interest rates come down more meaningfully. Inflation is expected to normalise fully next year in both the US and the euro area.
Potential inflation setbacks and changing geopolitical conditions pose risks to the outlook. The situation in the Middle East has worsened. Although energy prices are not driving inflation at their current levels, higher freight costs could pose an upside risk to inflation. In turn,
setbacks on inflation could delay monetary policy easing, which would weigh on growth.
In Sweden, the economy is on the road to recovery after three years of stagnation. Consumption growth will be high in 2025 and 2026, leading to above-normal GDP growth in both years. The labour market will weaken further this year before employment increases again next year as growth picks up.
The Baltic economies have been on diverging paths in recent years. Inflation has ebbed in Lithuania and Latvia, but remains elevated in Estonia, mainly due to consumer tax increases. Going forward, GDP growth is expected to accelerate to 1.5 - 3 per cent in all three countries from next year.
The table below shows the credit impairment provisions that would result from the negative and positive scenarios, which are considered reasonably possible, being assigned a probability weight of 100 per cent. Post-model expert credit adjustments are assumed to be constant in the results.

Swedish risk 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 is temporary from May 2023 until year end 2025. In 2024, it is levied at a rate of 60 percent, and it is applied to the part of the net interest income during the period which exceeds 50 percent of the average net interest income of historical years 2019-2022. In 2023, the corresponding historical years were 2018-2021.
The Latvian mortgage levy is temporary and is levied in year 2024. The tax amounts to 2 percent of the total Latvian mortgage amount as per 31 October 2023.

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 2023, 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 that 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 quarter a conversion of Visa Inc C shares to A Shares was made. The carrying amount of the holdings in Visa Inc. C amounted as per 30 September 2024 to SEK 259m (SEK 534m 31 December 2023).
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.

Swedbank is cooperating with authorities in the United States who are conducting investigations into Swedbank's historic AML compliance and the Group's response thereto, as well as related issues involving the Group's anti-money laundering controls and certain individuals and entities who may at some time have been customers of the Group. Investigations by the Department of Justice (DoJ), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Department of Financial Services (DFS) in New York are ongoing. In June 2023, Swedbank reached an agreement to remit SEK 37m related to violation of OFAC regulations.
The timing of the completion of the investigations is still unknown and the outcomes are still uncertain. It is therefore not possible to reliably estimate the amount of any potential settlement or fines, which could be material.
In February 2024, the Estonian Prosecutor's Office closed its investigation of suspected money laundering offences by Swedbank AS in 2014–2016. The criminal investigation originated from the Estonian FSA's previous investigation of Swedbank AS in 2019.
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 5 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 2024, the internal capital assessment for Swedbank's consolidated situation amounted to SEK 56bn (SEK 50.5bn as of 31 December 2023). The capital to meet the internal capital assessment, i.e. the Total capital, amounted to SEK 211.3bn (SEK 195.6bn as of 31 December 2023) (see Note 24). 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 risk-weight floor for Swedish mortgages.
The internally estimated capital requirement for the parent company amounted to SEK 37.9bn (SEK 34.4bn as of 31 December 2023) and the total capital amounted to SEK 149.1bn (SEK 142.8bn as of 31 December 2023) (see the parent company's note on capital adequacy on page 55).
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 2023 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 with continued instability in the Middle East, the ongoing Russian aggression against Ukraine, and increasingly protectionist trade policies contributing to heightened financial risks. Although these factors have had a significant impact on the economy, Swedbank continue to have low to negligible direct exposures to counterparts in the warring countries and is assessed to have the ability to manage the indirect risks that may arise due to the heightened geopolitical uncertainty.
Economic growth in the Nordic and Baltic regions is showing signs of recovery, and in Sweden, the economy is on the path to recovery after nearly three years of stagnation. Future trade policies and various geopolitical tensions may negatively impact growth.
Global inflation is decreasing, and several central banks have begun lowering interest rates. In Sweden and the three Baltic states, inflation is approaching the central bank's target of 2 percent, and both the Riksbank and the European Central Bank (ECB) have responded by gradually lowering interest rates.
The operational risk exposure is continued stable. Information security and cybersecurity priorities. Continued focus is being placed on strengthening IT security and ensuring high availability for customers.
Swedbank has continued to invest in initiatives to prevent financial crime. The Swedish Bankers' Association has completed work on common guidelines for customer protection against fraud, and Swedbank is working on implementing them into the workflows.
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 2023 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 before trading-related interest is deducted, in relation to average total 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.
Considers all interest income and interest expense, independent of how it has been presented in the income statement.
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.
Amount related to expenses is presented excluding expenses for administrative fines. The amounts are reconciled to the relevant IFRS income statement lines on page 6.
Provides comparability of figures between reporting periods.
Calculated based on profit for the period (annualised) attributable to the shareholders excluding expenses for the administrative fines, in relation to average equity attributable to shareholders' of the parent company.

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Swedbank AB (publ) as of 30 September 2024 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.
