"Our business model with multiple income streams is showing its best side with strong contributions from both trading and interest-related income. Trading activity has held steady, with foreign trading back at a high level as a share of turnover. This, combined with resilient net interest income, and seasonally low costs, has enabled us today to report an operating profit as high as our previous record for a single quarter. Looking ahead, there is good reason to be hopeful about the Swedish economy, and with that increased savings. We at Avanza stand ready to help our customers achieve great savings," says CEO Gustaf Unger.

Sweden has the most well-developed and advanced savings market in Europe. Nowhere else are mutual funds such a popular form of savings, and about a fourth of the population is directly invested in stocks. There are also structural changes in society that creates an increased need for personal savings. Avanza has a large share of young customers who will benefit from the intergenerationaltransfer from older generations that have built great wealth. The Swedish savings market is large and growing.
Avanza is by far the largest savings and investment platform in Sweden and will continue to grow. This requires continuous strong customer focus and innovation, a superior user experience and leading cost efficiency. Avanza's offering is constantly being developed to appeal to both stock market enthusiasts and less initiated savers.
Overarching strategic priorities until the end of 2030
Income growth is created by growing savings capital. Income is also driven and impacted by:
Avanza values a simple, transparent and cost-efficient balance sheet with low risk, and has no realised credit losses attributable to events after 2011.
Avanza was started with a simple idea — to build a company where we would want to be a customer. This has shaped a unique corporate culture, built on satisfied customers and a world-class user experience. The vision is to create a better future for millions of people through cheaper, better and simpler offerings. Attractive products and services and a strong user experience are achieved through customer focus and passionate employees—employees who have an interest, knowledge and understanding of customers' needs, and are committed to hypothesis- and data-driven development.
Strong growth in savings capital and customers, combined with low expenses, is what enables Avanza to deliver value to both customers and shareholders.
Avanza offers the market's widest range of savings products, competitive occupational pension solutions, margin lending and mortgages. To increase knowledge within savings and investments and enable customers to make informed decisions, extensive information and education are offered, along with news updates and decision support. The promise to customers is that they will have more left in their own pocket than with any other bank or pension company. Avanza also wants to inspire more sustainable investments. Our sustainability work is focused on three areas: Sustainable Investments, Educate & Challenge and Sustainable Organisation. Avanza should be the obvious choice for those who want to save sustainably.
Avanza challenges established structures of large banks and pension providers in the Swedish savings market and drives forward the long-term development of financial products and services. Customers can save in Swedish and foreign securities as well as savings accounts at zero or very low fees and to competitive rates. Avanza serves individual investors, professional traders and corporate customers such as entrepreneurs, asset managers and firms that want occupational pension for their employees.
Avanza is covered by the Swedish state deposit guarantee and supervised by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority.
● Sweden's most satisfied savers according to the Swedish Quality Index (SQI) annual award
● Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS) of at least 50

Our customers saw a much more stable stock market environment in the start of the second half of 2025 compared to the stormy first six months. Most major stock markets have generated a positive return and customers have been active and traded, despite lower volatility.
Looking ahead, there is good reason to be hopeful about the Swedish economy and savings. This autumn, the government presented a more expansionary budget than last year, and the Riksbank announced another policy rate cut after the end of the quarter. Hopefully, this is what is needed to finally jumpstart the Swedish economy. It is in any case positive for households, who remain cautious with their money and so far this year have not accelerated their consumption or long-term savings. The latest market data show that Swedes saved twice as much in cash in the second quarter compared to the same period in 2024, and the net inflow to funds decreased by two thirds. This fits with our thesis that customers have kept more of their money in salary accounts. We are seeing signs of a turnaround, however. We welcomed 41,000 new customers in the quarter, reaching over 2.2 million customers in total. This is fantastic and we are also seeing a cautiously positive trend in net inflows, which strengthened since last quarter although we are still pacing slower than our ambition. We are also seeing higher risk tolerance among customers in the form of almost twice the net purchases of securities, while the use of margin lending is growing and the share of deposits in customers' accounts is decreasing. We at Avanza are ready to help our customers when they decide to activate the unproductive money in salary accounts.
Our business model with multiple income streams is showing its best side with strong contributions from both trading and interest-related income. Trading has held up well, in line with the activity we saw in May and June. An extra 8.5 trading days compared to the previous quarter provided a boost. Interest in foreign trading is back and the aversion to U.S. exposure we saw last spring was short-lived. Our customers' portfolios still have too much exposure to Sweden to be considered well-diversified, and the trend towards increased foreign trading should in other words continue for years to come.
The Riksbank cut the policy rate at the end of June, which had a slight impact on the return in the Treasury portfolio during the quarter, but there is a lag in interest duration. Higher volume and lower interest expenses for deposits also had a mitigating effect. In terms of lending, our offering became more attractive when we cut interest rates on both the mortgage and margin lending in connection with the policy rate cut in June, which is evident in higher lending volumes. Overall, net interest income is again showing resilience and remains a healthy part of the income mix.
All in all, our income rose compared to the previous quarter and it was our second highest quarterly income ever. As usual, operating expenses were positively impacted by employees' summer holidays and were therefore seasonally low in the third quarter, which led to an operating profit as high as our previous record level.
At the end of September, we celebrated the Occupational Pension Day internally with seminars for Avanza's employees and externally for customers through social media and email. Far too many Swedes save too little for retirement, and even more are stuck in old, expensive pension solutions. We are trying to change both with our expanded focus on occupational pensions. During the quarter, we started a collaboration with Lifeplan to enable corporate customers with occupational pension for their employees to now offer them digital pension advice. Our broad range of investments is one of the most popular benefits of Avanza's occupational pension, but we also know that not everyone wants to make their own investment decisions. With access to independent advice, our occupational pension offering will be relevant for even more people. I am proud and confident that our occupational pension product is the best in the market for employees. The work to improve the user experience for corporates continues.
Stock market enthusiasts are our foundation at Avanza and where we come from, so much of our focus is on developing products for these customers. Being able to trade digitally in even more markets is one example. During the quarter, we added the London Stock Exchange to the now 15 markets that can be traded digitally. To further improve decision support for equity investors, we have also launched AIgenerated summaries of companies' interim reports.
Just as important as having an offering that appeals to experienced investors, it is also for us to have a broad-based offering for those who want more help with their investments. In July, the acquisition of Sigmastocks was finalised and since then we have stepped up efforts to create Sweden's best and most modern discretionary portfolio management solution. The product will be launched to the Private Banking segment and is now being developed together with customers through interviews and dialogue with those who have shown interest. During the quarter, Jacob Smith was recruited and became Head of Private Banking, Brokerage and Corporate Finance and a member of Group Management. He is in other words the one who will lead our continued efforts to become Sweden's leader in Private Banking.
About a year ago we announced our strategic priorities until the end of 2030. Our growth ambitions are high and the focus on pensions and Private Banking has intensified during the second half of the year. At the same time, our cloud migration is continuing according to plan and we are closer to our goal to begin developing in the cloud before the end of the year. Avanza is firing on all cylinders, and we are therefore still reiterating our guidance that costs will increase by 11% in 2025.
An equally important part of our growth is scalability. This includes to stop doing some things altogether, with the
biggest project right now being to close our external savings accounts. During the quarter, the volume in these accounts decreased by SEK 7 billion. This was a result of partners, that do not intend to migrate the deposits, cutting the deposit rate to drive out volumes organically. Here, we see that a large share of transferred deposits ends up with us. With regard to those partners that plan to migrate all or part of their deposits to their own platform, we are just getting started. We share a goal with our partners to give the customers in question as positive an experience as possible. We are informing our customers through messages and information on their account dashboards, so that they have an opportunity to act if they want to keep their deposits with Avanza. It is still too early to draw any conclusions on their reaction. Migration will happen in stages with customers gradually receiving information through spring 2026.
With the third quarter now behind us, I am very proud of all employees at Avanza, who work every day to do what is best for our customers – and for us to reach our ambitious targets. The work continues and when indications are that the Swedish economy is improving, we are well-positioned to capture future savings market growth. With hopes of better times to come – and a strong finish to 2025!

Stockholm 16 October 2025
Gustaf Unger, CEO Avanza
The Stockholm Stock Exchange, OMX Stockholm Gross Index, rose by 3.5 per cent during the quarter. Volatility decreased compared to the previous quarter, which had recorded historically high levels particularly at the beginning of the period.
Total turnover and the number of transactions on the Stockholm Stock Exchange including First North both decreased by 18 and 15 per cent, respectively, compared to the previous quarter. Among Avanza's customers, turnover increased by 2 per cent, while the number of transactions decreased by 3 per cent. Avanza remained by far the largest Swedish player on the Stockholm Stock Exchange, including First North, in terms of both number of transactions and turnover. Avanza's large customer base and high trading turnover are unique advantages, especially for customers who trade actively, since internal trades within Avanza allow them to take precedence over other buyers and sellers on the exchange, resulting in faster executions.
Brokerage-generating turnover at Avanza, including foreign trading, increased by 10 per cent compared to the previous quarter. The number of brokerage-generating transactions increased by 5 per cent. There were 8.5 more trading days in the quarter.
According to data from the Swedish Investment Fund Association, the fund market reported a net inflow of SEK 50 billion in the quarter. Avanza's net inflow to mutual funds amounted to SEK 13 billion.

The policy rate was kept unchanged during the quarter and was cut on 25 June by 25 basis points to 2.00 per cent. The Riksbank announced another 25 bps rate cut in September, which took effect after the end of the quarter. If the outlook for inflation and economic activity holds, the Riksbank expects the policy rate to remain unchanged for some time to come, with the caveat that the outlook and global conditions remain highly uncertain. The next rate decision will be published on 5 November 2025.
In August, data for the second quarter 2025 was published on the Swedish savings market, which according to Avanza's definition amounted to SEK 12,600 billion, an increase of 4 per cent compared to a year earlier. The occupational pension market increased by 3 per cent, and amounted to SEK 4,360 billion. The net inflow to the market amounted to SEK 220 billion, which was 11 per cent higher than in the second quarter 2024. Cash contributions were record high and accounted for 47 per cent of the total net inflow, which compares to 25 per cent in the same guarter in 2024. During the same period, Avanza's total savings capital increased by 11 per cent and occupational pension capital by 13 per cent. The market share of the Swedish savings market was 7.9 per cent and inflows to Avanza accounted for 5 per cent of the net inflow. The market share of the net inflow is always lower in the second guarter due to tax refunds and higher inflows to occupational pensions.

The user experience on the platform is updated more or less on a daily basis. Following is a sample of launches and other events during the quarter.
With a focus on stock market enthusiasts and Avanza's core business, the London Stock Exchange was added to digital trading, thereby expanding to 15 markets. A new and improved analysis tab was also launched to quickly and easily give customers an overview of their holdings, risk diversification and performance. The stock pages were expanded to include AI-generated summaries of interim reports, and on the Stock Market Today page stock prices were added to the corporate calendar.
As part of Avanza's increased focus on pension, a new collaboration was established with Lifeplan to give occupational pension customers access to digital, independent pension advice, which expands the pension offering and thereby creates growth opportunities. The advice will be offered as an additional service to corporates that have occupational pension for their employees with Avanza. Initially, it will be offered to corporates with over 50 employees. The Occupational Pension Day was celebrated internally with seminars for Avanza's employees and externally for customers through informational emails, blog entries and updates through social media.
The acquisition of Sigmastocks was finalised and the companies became part of the Avanza Group. The acquisition is part of Avanza's focus on Private Banking and the aim is to more quickly launch a digital discretionary management product to meet the needs of customers who want more help with all or part of their savings. The integration of Sigmastocks' product in Avanza's interface is under way and customers who have shown interest in the product are providing input to product development.
Furthermore, the flow for direct transfers via Trustly has been updated and made accessible.
Internal efficiency is created through continuous improvements both large and small, which increases scalability. During the quarter, forms were digitised to reduce manual labour and mail handling.
Avanza works continuously with financial literacy in the area of savings and investments. During the quarter, among other things, a video was broadcast live on YouTube on the best way to start saving after the summer. Philip Scholtzé, who has been Avanza's savings economist for about two years, was named CEO of Placera Media and will step down as savings economist. Felicia Schön, who has been Avanza's private economist since 2022, is succeeding Philip.
During the quarter, the number of customers increased by a net of 40,700 with 2,204,000 customers at the end of the quarter. Women accounted for 45 per cent of new customers. At the end of the quarter, women continued to account for 40 per cent of the total customer base, while still representing only 26 per cent of the savings capital. 9 per cent of the total customer base was occupational pension customers. Customer churn on a rolling 12-month basis was 1.6 per cent. The average number of daily active users on the platform amounted to 450,700 in the quarter.
Savings capital increased by 6 per cent in the quarter to SEK 1,054 billion mainly as a result of stock market appreciations and partly due to net inflows. Net inflow amounted to SEK 14 billion. The majority of the net inflow was related to customers within the Standard segment. New customers accounted for 44 per cent of the net inflow.
Recurring inflow averaged SEK 3.0 billion per month over the past twelve-month period, excluding occupational pension premiums. The definition was updated as of 2025 to better reflect recurring inflows to Avanza. The previously reported recurring monthly savings definition excluded deposits larger than SEK 20,000. Read more on page 29. Recurring occupational pension premiums averaged SEK 390 million per month in the most recent twelve-month period.
At the end of the quarter, 34 per cent of customers' capital was invested in mutual funds, of which 38 per cent was in Avanza's own funds. The net inflow to funds was SEK 13 billion in the quarter, and the total fund capital increased by 9 per cent.
Customers' deposits as a percentage of the savings capital decreased as a result of increased net purchase of securities and amounted to 11.3 per cent at the end of the quarter, including external savings accounts. Deposits in Avanza's own savings account, where the interest rate at the end of the period was 1.50 per cent, increased to SEK 44.3 billion. As of 30 September, deposits in interest-bearing accounts amounted to 54 per cent of customers' total deposits, excluding external savings accounts, an increase from 51 per cent compared to the previous quarter.
Margin lending increased as a result of higher risk appetite among customers, and lower interest rates. Internally financed mortgage volumes increased, while volumes within the externally financed mortgage offering decreased.

2) Q3 2024 includes costs of SEK 11 million related to changes in Avanza's media company Placera.
Operating profit for the third quarter increased by 15 per cent, mainly as a result of higher operating income but also lower operating expenses.
The operating margin increased to 72 per cent (67) and the return on shareholders' equity to 45 per cent (37).
Operating income increased by 8 per cent compared to the previous quarter. Net brokerage income, net currency-related income, and fund commissions increased, while other income decreased. Net interest income decreased slightly.
Net brokerage income increased by 11 per cent as a result of 10 per cent higher brokerage-generating turnover and 5 per cent more brokerage-generating notes, positively impacted by 8.5 more trading days in the quarter. Per trading day, the brokerage-generating turnover decreased by 4 per cent, while the number of brokerage-generating notes decreased by 9 per cent. Gross brokerage income per brokerage-generating turnover was unchanged at 11.4 basis points. Private Banking and Pro accounted for a lower share of brokerage income at 24 per cent (26). Trading in foreign securities accounted for 28 per cent (23) of the total brokerage-generating turnover. Turnover per note was higher, particularly within the Fixed Price brokerage class, resulting in lower income per SEK turnover. The number of brokerage-generating customers increased.
Net currency-related income increased by 34 per cent as a result of 34 per cent higher brokerage-generating turnover in foreign securities.
Net fund commissions increased by 10 per cent as a result of higher fund capital. Average income per SEK of fund capital was stable at 25.0 basis points (24.9) and was 24.8 basis points at the end of the quarter. The share of capital in index funds amounted to 49.7 per cent at the end of the period, an increase of 1.1 percentage points. The net inflow to mutual funds amounted to SEK 13 billion.
Net interest income decreased by 1 per cent. The return on the Treasury portfolio decreased to SEK 398 million (410) due to lower market interest rates, partly offset by slightly higher surplus liquidity. The mortgage rate was cut by 25 bps on 25 June, which took full effect in the third quarter. Margin lending rates were lowered at the same time by an average of 34 bps and the average rate on internally financed lending decreased to 3.01 per cent (3.27). The lower lending rates were largely offset by increased lending volumes, and income from internally financed lending amounted to SEK 190 million (198). The interest expense for deposits decreased to SEK 177 million (189) due to lower deposit rates. The annualised rate on deposits was 0.80 percent (0.91) in the quarter. The resolution fee and deposit guarantee fee amounted to SEK 9 million (14).
Other income decreased by 14 per cent due to lower income from Avanza Markets, which amounted to SEK 55 million (58), and higher other commission expenses. Income from Corporate Finance amounted to SEK 5 million (5).
Operating expenses decreased by 8 per cent as a result of seasonally lower personnel costs. Marketing costs were seasonally higher in the quarter. Other costs also increased.
Reported credit losses are attributable to calculations of expected credit losses according to IFRS 9. For more information, see Note 6.
The effective tax rate during the quarter amounted to 14.5 per cent (15.4). The fluctuation in the tax rate between quarters depends on how large a share of income generates corporate tax versus yield tax. The bank pays standard corporate tax, whereas the majority of the insurance company's income is subject to yield tax, which reduces the effective tax rate.
Operating profit increased by 24 per cent compared to the first nine months of 2024. This was mainly a result of higher operating income. Operating expenses also rose.
The operating margin increased to 70 per cent (67) and the return on shareholders' equity to 41 per cent (38).
Operating income increased by 18 per cent due to higher net brokerage income, net currency-related income, other income and fund commissions. Net interest income decreased slightly.
Net brokerage income increased by 38 per cent, mainly due to increased trading activity, but the income margin was also higher. Brokerage-generating turnover increased by 34 per cent and the number of brokerage-generating notes by 23 per cent. Gross brokerage income per brokerage-generating turnover increased to 11.4 basis points (11.1), due to increased trading in foreign securities, which accounted for 26 (20) per cent of the brokerage-generating turnover. Private Banking and Pro accounted for 26 per cent (26) of brokerage income. The number of brokerage-generating customers increased.
Net currency-related income increased by 57 per cent as a result of higher brokerage-generating turnover in foreign securities, which increased by 69 per cent.
Net fund commissions increased by 10 per cent due to higher fund capital. Average income per SEK of fund capital decreased to 25.0 basis points (26.1) due to a higher share of capital in index funds. The share of capital in index funds amounted to 49.7 per cent (46.8) at the end of the period.
Net interest income decreased by 2 per cent due to lower market interest rates, which was, however, largely offset by higher surplus liquidity and lower cost for deposits. The income from the Treasury portfolio decreased and amounted to SEK 1,168 million (1,390). Income from internally financed lending amounted to SEK 592 million (697). Internally financed lending volumes increased by 19 per cent and the average interest rate decreased to 3.20 per cent (4.46). Interest expenses for deposits decreased to SEK 543 million (852) and the average annualised interest rate decreased to 0.90 per cent (1.80).
Other income increased by 46 per cent, mainly due to higher income from Avanza Markets and Corporate Finance, but also due to higher commission expenses during the same period2024, related to customer compensations connected to tax on investment savings accounts. Income from Avanza Markets increased to SEK 177 million (131) and income from Corporate Finance to SEK 28 million (10).
Operating expenses increased by 7 per cent, mainly due to higher other expenses, which increased by 17 per cent. This was mainly attributable to increased license and development costs related to the cloud journey. Information costs were also higher. Personnel costs increased by 2 per cent due to a higher average number of employees and annual salary adjustments, which was slightly offset by a higher utilisation
of vacation days in 2025. Personnel costs for the ninemonths period in 2024 also include costs of SEK 10.6 million related to the termination of the editorial team at Avanza´s media company Placera.
The costs to savings capital ratio decreased to 14 basis points (15). The long-term target to display focus on efficiency and costs is to reduce the costs to savings capital ratio over time. Avanza today has a market leading cost efficiency and intends to maintain this position. Over the years, this has contributed to Avanza's resilience in various market conditions, while at the same time represented an important competitive advantage.
During 2025, the cost increase is estimated at 11 per cent, mainly due to the accelerated cloud migration and investments to fuel growth within Private Banking and occupational pensions. Total salary adjustments are estimated at 4 per cent.
Reported credit losses are attributable to calculations of expected credit losses according to IFRS 9. For more information, see Note 6.
The effective tax rate amounted to 14.5 per cent (13.9). The fluctuation in the tax rate between periods depends on how large a share of income generates corporate tax versus yield tax. The bank pays standard corporate tax, whereas the majority of the insurance company's income is subject to yield tax, which reduces the effective tax rate.
The policy rate was kept unchanged during the quarter and was cut on 25 June by 25 basis points to 2.00 per cent. The Riksbank announced another 25 bps rate cut in September, which took effect after the end of the quarter. If the outlook for inflation and economic activity holds, the Riksbank expects the policy rate to remain unchanged for some time to come, with the caveat that the outlook and global conditions remain highly uncertain. The next rate decision will be published on 5 November 2025.
Policy rate changes affect the return on the Treasury portfolio, i.e. surplus liquidity, which mainly is invested in covered bonds, as deposits with the Riksbank and with systemically important Nordic banks. The bond portfolio is tied to the 3M STIBOR. The portion invested in Riksbank Certificates and as deposits with the Riksbank is linked to the policy rate. Avanza's internally financed lending constitutes mortgage loans to Private Banking customers and margin lending. The mortgage rate is tied to the policy rate while the interest rate on margin lending is based on demand and the competitive landscape.
The cost side of net interest income mainly consists of interest paid on customer deposits. Avanza pays interest on deposits in savings accounts to all customers. For equity and fund accounts, investment savings accounts (ISK), and endowment insurance, interest is paid only to Pro customers. Deposits in interest-bearing accounts represent 54 per cent of customers' total deposits, excluding external savings accounts, at the end of the quarter. Deposits in Avanza's own savings account amounted to just over SEK 44 billion. The savings account interest rate remained unchanged during the quarter, standing at 1.5 per cent at the end of the period.
All else being equal, without taking changes in volume, customer behaviour, the competitive landscape, or the bond portfolio's interest rate duration into account, a 1 percentage point decrease or increase of the policy rate would affect fullyear net interest income by SEK –480 million and SEK 950 million, respectively. The calculation is based on rates by the end of the period and only highlights the sensitivity in net interest income. On the upside, Avanza has absorbed the entire increase without sharing it with customers, which would be implausible, and on the downside lowered rates on both deposits as well as lending.
Earlier in the year, the Riksbank decided that all banks and other Swedish credit institutions must hold a portion of their deposit base in interest-free deposits from 31 October 2025. For Avanza, this means that SEK 225 million will be held by the Riksbank at 0 per cent interest. The lost interest income is recognised as an interest expense within net interest income and will have an impact from the fourth quarter.
Avanza has no major seasonal variations. The financial result is impacted by the stock market, volatility and the policy rate. The third quarter is typically characterised by lower personnel costs due to summer vacations, as well as seasonally lower Corporate Finance activity. Marketing costs are usually higher during the first and third quarters, although this may be affected by product launches in other quarters. Customer growth and net inflow are normally higher at the beginning of the year.
Avanza, with its strong customer-centric corporate culture and passionate employees, is well-positioned to capitalise on future opportunities in the savings market and to adapt to changing market conditions. The target is to grow savings capital by an annual average of 15 per cent and reach over SEK 2,000 billion in savings capital 2030.
Economic cycles, geopolitics and stock market sentiment impact Avanza's income. At the same time, there are structural trends and changes that benefit the savings market and Avanza long-term. In recent years, households' possibility to save have changed due to high inflation and rising interest rates. At the same time, this increases the understanding of and underscores the need for savings. Despite recent trade policy announcements and geopolitical turmoil, the long-term economic outlook in Sweden now looks brighter than before, with tax relief, lower interest rates and thus real wage growth, and expected GDP growth.
Sweden has a unique culture of stock market investing – nowhere else in the world are mutual funds such a popular form of savings and about a fourth of the population is invested in stocks. Based on number of customers, Avanza has a market share in Sweden of 20 per cent, but the potential remains significant – especially when it comes to attracting a larger share of current customers' savings. Avanza's share of savings capital on the Swedish savings market was 7.9 per cent at the end of the second quarter 2025, while the share of the net inflow was close to 18 per cent annually. Surveys show that around two thirds of customers' savings is held outside Avanza, half of which is estimated addressable. To attract more savings capital, Avanza will develop its offering further for those who need more help and decision-making guidance. The growth ambitions also include developing new and improving existing products to attract more customers, with an emphasis on Private Banking and occupational pension.
Individuals are expected to take on greater responsibility for their finances. The need for pension savings is great and is expected to remain so with future replacement rates likely to decline. For the individual this means either delaying retirement or compensating through personal savings. Another example is the structure of the Swedish housing market which has increased the incentive to save for a cash down payment.
The big generation born in the 1940s and 50s has built up considerable wealth and today owns a large share of the total savings capital in Sweden. Within a few years there will be a great wealth transfer from older to younger generations. Avanza has a large share of young customers. The median age is 37, 11 years younger than the population. Younger customers generally have fewer economic resources than older customers, which means that growth in savings capital and income increases over time. If Avanza continues to create attractive offerings and good reasons for customers to stay on the platform, there is great potential in these young savers, who have learned about and become interested in savings and investments early in life. Avanza has a low customer churn, below 2 per cent.
Sweden is one of the most well-developed and advanced markets in Europe and Avanza is by far the most successful savings and investment platform. Having been able to reach such a position in Sweden suggests that Avanza has excellent opportunities to succeed in other countries. The aim is to be established in one or more European markets outside Sweden by the end of 2030. This will provide advantages in the form of larger growth opportunities with an expanded addressable market and lower risk through diversification.
Digitalisation has led to a more agile financial market with a wide range of competitively priced products and services as well as higher demands on the user experience. This along with insight on the potential for personal savings, has increased competition in the savings market – particularly for high net worth individuals and active traders. Avanza's strong brand, competitive offering, high customer satisfaction and scalability and cost control are important strengths. As Sweden's largest platform for savings and investments, Avanza also has a solid database and extensive expertise in personal savings, which is a competitive advantage in the development of new products that can contribute to personalised services as well as it creates opportunities with AI. Avanza's large customer base also provides an attractive platform for interesting collaborations that can further strengthen the offering and user experience. Avanza's large customer base and high trading turnover are unique advantages, especially for customers who trade actively, since internal trades allow them to take precedence over other buyers and sellers on the exchange, resulting in faster executions – which is difficult for others to compete with.
Avanza is well-positioned for rules on increased transparency, improved customer protection and digital development. Avanza has always advocated low fees and avoided commission-driven advice, instead developing tools that help customers make their own investment decisions and save based on their own needs. With Avanza, the customer's interests come first, right along with clarity and transparency.
For several years, the Swedish government has tried to simplify pension transfers, but complex and administratively demanding processes remain in place, and more work is needed to create a well-functioning market. If the transfer market is simplified, Avanza's competitive pension offering without platform fees, and with a wide range of investment opportunities and world-class user experience is expected to have an even greater impact.
ISK and endowment insurance have become the most popular forms of investment accounts in Sweden and have simplified investing in stocks and lowered the barriers to entry. From January 2025, a tax-exempt ceiling of SEK 150,000 was introduced for these accounts, which will be raised to SEK 300,000 in 2026. This will further reduce the barriers to entry and is positive for both savers and Avanza.
The financial industry, with its ability to steer capital to sustainable economic activities, plays a key role in the transition to a sustainable economy. Women save less and put more money into savings accounts than men, and the savings gap needs to be reduced. For Avanza it is also important to offer sustainable investment alternatives and decision-making tools to enable customers to integrate ESG in their investment decisions. This will be an increasingly important competitive advantage as demand for sustainable savings products increases. It also aligns with the EU Action Plan on Financing Sustainable Growth and the many sustainability regulations that have been implemented in recent years, and will enhance the basis for the tools and information available on Avanza's platform.

Avanza is primarily self-financed through equity and customer deposits. The majority of deposits from the public are covered by the government deposit guarantee, and are spread across a very large number of households. As of 30 September 2025, deposits amounted to SEK 91.1 billion and loans to the public to SEK 28.8 billion. All lending is secured by listed securities or pledges on homes or tenant-owned apartments, and the credit quality is assessed to be good. The average loan-to-value ratio for mortgages amounted to 40 per cent as of 30 September 2025 and for margin lending to 25 per cent. Between 2001 and third quarter 2025, actual and expected credit losses amounted to SEK 12.6 million, or an average of below 0.02 per cent per year. Avanza has no realised credit losses attributable to events after 2011. Lending as a share of deposits amounted to 31.6 per cent at the end of the period.
Surplus liquidity, which as of 30 September 2025 amounted to SEK 71.7 billion, is mainly invested in covered bonds, Riksbank Certificates and as deposits with the Riksbank and systemically important Nordic banks, and in bonds issued by the Swedish government and municipalities.
Maturity structure of interest-bearing securities as of 30 September 2025 (SEKm, nominal value)

All of Avanza's assets have high liquidity and all covered bonds have the highest bond rating with Standard & Poor's (AAA) or Moody's (Aaa). The average fixed interest term on interest-bearing securities is a maximum of 3 months. Interest-bearing securities with fixed interest terms, excluding
Riksbank Certificates with just one week's fixed interest term, constituted 6 per cent of all interest-bearing securities as of 30 September 2025. Interest rate risk is limited as Avanza intends, and normally has the capacity, to hold its bonds to maturity. To cope with short-term fluctuations in deposits and lending from/to the public, a significant share of the assets is held on account and is disposable immediately or the following business day. Avanza strives for a bond portfolio with an even maturity structure annually, quarterly and to a certain extent monthly, meaning that large negative changes in surplus liquidity normally are managed with ongoing maturities. Avanza is also a monetary counterparty to the Riksbank and all bonds can be pledged to the Riksbank. Consequently, the risk of having to sell bond holdings in advance at a lower market value is limited, reducing the risk of negative price movements due to changes in credit spreads or interest rates.
Avanza has a strong capital position with good margins to the regulatory requirements as well as low risk in the balance sheet. To optimise the capital structure and enable further growth in long-term savings capital, Avanza Bank Holding AB (publ) issued SEK 800 million in Additional Tier 1 (AT1) Capital in the second quarter with a coupon of 3M STIBOR+3.25 per cent, with the first call option after five years. During the third quarter, the first coupon was paid to Additional Tier 1 capital holders.
Considering Avanza's strong capitalisation and the likely increase in deposits on Avanza's balance sheet when external savings accounts are no longer offered, the Annual General Meeting 2025 resolved to approve a dividend per share of SEK 11.75 (11.50), corresponding to 82 per cent (91) of the profit for 2024.
At the end of September, the Swedish FSA announced the results of its 2025 review and evaluation (SREP) of Avanza. The Pillar 2 guidance (P2G) for the leverage ratio remains 0.5 per cent and the risk-based Pillar 2 requirement (P2R) was lowered from 5.7 to 5.0 per cent. The total leverage ratio requirement thereby remains at 3.5 per cent, while the total risk-based capital requirement decreases from 18.2 to 17.5 per cent. The leverage ratio remains critical to Avanza's capitalisation. At the end of the period, Avanza's leverage ratio for the consolidated situation was 4.8 per cent. Retained earnings for the nine-month period have been included in own funds. With the current leverage ratio, deposits can increase by SEK 40 billion without falling below the requirement including guidance of 3.5 per cent. Details on own funds and capital requirements for the consolidated situation are provided in Note 9.

Risk-taking is an integral part of Avanza's operations. Avanza's ability to identify, analyse, manage and monitor risks is critical to the soundness, reputation and long-term profitability of the business.
A detailed description of the Group's risks, risk exposure and risk management can be found in Avanza's Annual Report for 2024, pages 26–27, 62 and Note 34. No significant risks have arisen beyond those described in the Annual Report and in this report.
Avanza does not engage, and has not previously engaged, in proprietary trading in securities.
In January 2024, a draft law to protect against overindebtedness was presented, which would phase out the interest deduction on unsecured consumer loans. The proposal also covered margin lending. After receiving criticism on the proposal, including from Avanza through Finance Sweden and the Swedish Securities Markets Association, revisions were made, allowing for the possibility to continue to deduct interest on loans collateralised by securities. Unfortunately, the law has been written in such a way that the deduction is only applicable in the case of direct ownership, which means that it does not apply to endowment insurance. Avanza, together with the Swedish Bankers' Association and the Swedish Securities Markets Association, has submitted a formal request to the Ministry of Finance to amend the law so that it also includes endowment insurance. Decreased interest deductions on margin lending on endowment insurance affects demand and could also affect the growth in volume of margin lending for Avanza.
In May 2023, the EU Commission proposed a ban on commissions on all investment services without advice, the Retail Investment Strategy (RIS). The EU's institutions are currently negotiating the proposal, but the Council and European Parliament's proposal leading up to the negotiations did not contain the same restriction. This suggests that there will not be a general ban on commissions at the EU level. In Sweden, however, the Swedish FSA has long sought national rules on commissions, and there is likely to be a study of their feasibility, regardless of what the EU eventually decides. If a commission ban was introduced, it would primarily affect Avanza's external fund business and Avanza Markets. In that case, Avanza has various alternatives to adapt its business model.
Avanza Bank Holding AB (publ) is the Parent Company of the Avanza Group and does not conduct any operations beside the role as owner of its subsidiaries. The Parent Company does not report any turnover. The operating result for the nine -months periodof 2025 was SEK –31million (–34).

The bonds are listed on Nasdaq Stockholm and are perpetual, with the first call option after five years. The first trading day was 10 June 2025. During the third quarter, the first coupon was paid to Additional Tier 1 Capital holders.
The parent company's acquisition of Sigmastocks AB, which was announced in December 2024, was finalised at the beginning of July and it is now included in the Avanza Group. The acquisition price was SEK 21.1 million. An acquisition analysis has been performed, which resulted in an allocation of the purchase price to the acquired identifiable assets and liabilities.
On 1 July 2025, Avanza Bank Holding AB (publ) entered into an agreement with other major shareholders to sell the shares in Stabelo to Swedbank.

The Interim Report for the Group has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Reporting, the Swedish Annual Accounts Act for Credit Institutions and Securities Companies (1995:1559), the regulations and general guidelines issued by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority regarding annual reports at credit institutions and securities companies (FFFS 2008:25) and with the recommendation RFR 1 Complementary accounting rules for groups. The Interim Report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act (1995:1544). Furthermore, the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation accounting for legal entities (RFR 2) has been applied.
From the second quarter 2025, the holding in Stabelo Group AB has been reclassified in the Group's Balance Sheet from Shares and participations to Assets held for sale because Avanza Bank Holding AB (publ) entered into an agreement to divest the holding. The holding is continuously measured at fair value and until the transaction closes, the revaluation continues to be recognised through other comprehensive income. The earn-out component is valued based on from various scenarios weighted in a probability-weighted measure, which is then discounted to present value.
The accounting principles and calculation methods for both the Group and the Parent Company are otherwise unchanged from those applied in the Annual Report 2024.

1) Includes shareholdings classified as "Assets held for sale" in the balance sheet.
All financial instruments recognised at amortised cost with the exception of bonds (the portion of the bond portfolio measured at amortised cost) carry variable interest or have short maturities, because of which book value and fair value coincide. The fair value of those financial instruments reported at fair value, primarily assets in the insurance operations, treasury bills eligible for refinancing and bonds in Avanza's liquidity portfolio, is determined as shown below.
During the period, there were no transfers between the levels. Pension and insurance customers (assets in the insurance operations) are, in principle, only permitted to hold securities traded on a regulated market or a multilateral trading facility (MTF), investment funds or securities on unlisted securities markets managed electronically by Avanza.
Financial assets at fair value via the Income Statement or via Other comprehensive income
The majority of securities in this category, mainly assets in the insurance operations, treasury bills eligible for refinancing and bonds (the portion of the interest-bearing securities portfolio measured at fair value through other comprehensive income) in Avanza's liquidity portfolio, comprise listed securities, and fair value is determined using the official bid rate on the closing date. The fair value of securities without an active market is determined, initially, by obtaining pricing information from operators who quote daily prices, mainly the net asset values quoted by the fund companies, where the issuer values every individual security, and secondarily, by assessing the most recently completed market transaction between two mutually independent parties.
Changes in the value of assets in the insurance operations correspond to changes in the value of liabilities in the insurance operations and the net result is, therefore, zero.
Financial assets at fair value are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the input data used in the valuations. The hierarchy contains the following levels:
● Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) on active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair value is determined by using the official bid rate on the closing date. The majority of equities and funds pertaining to the insurance operations as well as bonds and other interest-bearing securities in Avanza's liquidity portfolio are included in this category. Pension and insurance customers (assets in the insurance operations) are, in principle, only permitted to hold securities traded on a regulated market or a multilateral trading facility (MTF), investment funds or securities on unlisted securities markets managed electronically by Avanza.
2) The holding in Stabelo Group AB has been reclassified in the balance sheet due to the upcoming divestment of the holding.
The level of the fair value hierarchy at which a financial instrument is classified is determined on the basis of the lowest level of input data of significance to the fair value in its entirety. No instruments have been reclassified since the end of last year.
The table below refers to the financial conglomerate, which includes Avanza Bank Holding AB (publ) and all of its subsidiaries: Avanza Bank AB (publ), Försäkringsaktiebolaget Avanza Pension, Avanza Fonder AB, Placera Media Stockholm AB, Avanza Förvaltning AB, Sigmastocks AB, and Sigmastocks Neo AB. The financial conglomerate's own funds and capital requirement have been calculated using the consolidation method (fully consolidated).
When calculating own funds for regulated units in the banking and investment services sector, only profits subject to review by the auditors are included. If profit for the period has been reviewed, this is adjusted for any assumed or proposed dividend. Profits for the full year has been reviewed by the auditors and is included in own funds, adjusted for the proposed dividend

1) Avanza Pension's solvency capital requirement and own funds are calculated using the Solvency 2 directive's standard model. The standard model requires assumptions that are determined partly by the authorities and partly by Avanza Pension's Board of Directors.
The information in this section refers to the consolidated situation, which consists of Avanza Bank Holding AB (publ), Avanza Bank AB (publ), Avanza Fonder AB, and Sigmastocks AB, and presents the aggregate capital requirement and own funds. Disclosures are provided in accordance with the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority's (SFSA) regulations and general guidelines (FFFS 2014:12) on prudential requirements and capital buffers, the general guidelines (FFFS 2008:25) regarding annual reports at credit institutions and securities companies, and Regulation (EU) 575/2013 on prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment firms (CRR) and the regulation (FFFS 2010:7) on managing liquidity risks for credit institutions and securities companies. Further information provided annually can be found at avanza.se/ir.
Own funds must cover the minimum capital requirement (8 per cent), the Pillar 2 requirement and the combined buffer requirement. The combined buffer requirement consists of a capital conservation buffer (2.5 per cent) and a countercyclical capital buffer (2 per cent) and will be met with Common Equity Tier 1 capital. The SFSA Supervisory completed its Review and Evaluation Process (SREP) for Avanza in the third quarter 2025 and decided on a risk-based Pillar 2 requirement totalling 5.02 per cent for the consolidated situation, distributed between credit-related concentration risk (0.83 per cent) and interest rate risk in the banking book (4.19 per cent). Three quarters of the capital requirement shall be covered by Tier 1 capital, of which at least three quarters must be Common Equity Tier 1 capital. Furthermore, the SFSA has provided Avanza with leverage ratio guidance of 0.5 per cent on group level, beyond the minimum leverage ratio requirement of 3.0 per cent. The guidance must be covered by CET1 capital. The SFSA has also decided that the liquidity buffer at the group level, when calculating the LCR, may consist of at most 50 percent covered bonds issued by Swedish issuing institutions.
Avanza has authorisation from the SFSA to include income recognised during the year when calculating own funds. All profits from the interim results have been audited by external auditors, whereby the entire accumulated profit for the financial year is included in own funds. Foreseeable dividend has also been considered, which reduces own funds. Own funds increased during the quarter by SEK 219 million, mainly due to increased profits from the audited interim result.
During the quarter, the risk-weighted exposure amount (RWEA) increased by SEK 779 million. This was primarily driven by increased investments in covered bonds. The leverage ratio remains unchanged from the previous quarter at 4.8 per cent. Avanza is well capitalised to meet current and future requirements.

Pursuant to FFFS 2010:7, Avanza reports its liquidity risk positions.
Liquidity risk is the risk that Avanza cannot meet its payment obligations at maturity without the cost of obtaining means of payment rising significantly. Avanza's payment obligations mainly come from the deposits that Avanza Bank's customers do not place in various financial instruments or products. When this occurs, deposits arise that Avanza manages.
To manage liquidity, Avanza's Board of Directors has established internal rules on selecting and approving counterparties as well as investment alternatives and maturities. The distribution of responsibilities and reporting have also been predetermined.
The liquidity reserve is financed by deposits from the public and shareholders' equity. Avanza's liquidity is invested mainly in covered bonds, Riksbank Certificates and interest-bearing securities issued by the Swedish government or Swedish municipalities. A small percentage is invested in systematically important banks and the Riksbank. Avanza Bank AB is a member of the Swedish Riksbank.
Avanza does not engage in proprietary trading in securities and all interest-bearing financial instruments are held to maturity. The overarching concern in liquidity management is that Avanza's customers can get their deposits back at any time. As a result, deposits are distributed across various counterparties, instruments and maturities, so that the portfolio matures consistently over time. Avanza's payment obligations are in SEK and surplus liquidity is therefore invested in SEK. Avanza does not take currency risk.
| Liquidity reserve, SEKm | 30-09-2025 | 31-12-2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Liquid assets | 15,633 | 10,832 |

To the Board of Directors of Avanza Bank Holding AB (publ)
Corp. Id. 556274-8458
We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Avanza Bank Holding AB (publ) as of 30 September 2025 and the nine-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act for Credit Institutions and Securities Companies for the Group and in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act for the Parent Company. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information 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 and other generally accepted auditing practices and consequently does 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, for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act for Credit Institutions and Securities Companies, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.
