About Resurs Holding
Resurs Holding (Resurs), which operates through the subsidiary Resurs Bank, is the leader in retail finance in the Nordic region, offering payment solutions, consumer loans and niche insurance products. Since its start in 1977, Resurs Bank has established itself as a leading partner for sales-driven payment and loyalty solutions in retail and e-commerce, and Resurs has thus built a customer base of approximately 6 million private customers in the Nordics. Resurs Bank has had a banking licence since 2001 and is under the supervision of Finansinspektionen. The Resurs Group operates in Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland. At the end of the fourth quarter of 2022, the Group had 647 employees and a loan portfolio of SEK 37.2 billion. Resurs is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm.
Our partners
We partner with a wide variety of major brands and help them prepare flexible payment options for shopping.
Strong end to the year, featuring healthy growth and improved margins
Resurs broke the trend in the second half of 2022 and the fourth quarter is yet further confirmation of this positive performance. Lending rose and after successfully making price adjustments, the margin improved for the second consecutive quarter. In the fourth quarter, we also expanded our successful partnership with JYSK to include the Swedish market.
Strong growth in income and improved margin. The fourth quarter for Resurs meant healthy income growth, a slightly improved margin and a continuing strong and stable financial position. The 12 per cent year-on-year growth in lending shows that Resurs's customer offering is robust and competitive even in more challenging times.
+13%
Income growth
Total operating income for the quarter increased 13 per cent to SEK 851 million (753). The NBI margin performed positively and rose to 9.3 per cent (9.2 per cent) due to the active price adjustments during the quarter.
Expenses increased 5 per cent year-on-year, and the C/I ratio improved to 41.7 per cent (44.7 per cent). The relocation of our Norwegian customer service operations to Sweden commenced in the quarter. We are doing this to enhance the level of customer service and to increase efficiency. The initiative is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2023, but entailed increased expenses for Q4 22. We have a high level of ambition when it comes to our efficiency and the target of achieving a C/I ratio of 35 per cent over three to five years is a key milestone for us on our transformation journey.
+7%
Earnings growth
Operating profit increased a total of 7 per cent to SEK 260 million in the fourth quarter. The credit loss ratio increased to 2.6 per cent (2.1 per cent) due to the strong growth in the loan portfolio and higher provisions in our macro model due to the prevailing global situation and slightly higher volumes in delay status.
We are monitoring economic developments in society and are continuing our methodical efforts to manage the impact that the challenges in the economy may entail for certain customer groups.
Strong end to the year for Payment Solutions. Payment Solutions reported healthy growth in the quarter with both Black Friday and the Christmas shopping period contributing to a strong increase in lending. The margin also improved due to our continued work to optimise pricing.
We have worked together with JYSK in Norway and Finland for several years and in the fourth quarter JYSK in Sweden decided to initiate a partnership with us. Resurs's offering in physical stores and online now extends across the entire Nordic region. Our ability to offer the same frictionless customer journey in all of the Nordic countries, regardless of sales channel, is often one of the reasons that the retail industry chooses to partner with Resurs.
Long-term agreement with Komplett strengthens B2B. The
factoring partnership with Komplett, one of the largest online retailers in the Nordic region, performed according to plan and the final negotiations for a long-term factoring agreement were completed during the quarter with two Norwegian and three Swedish companies in the Komplett Group. An integral part of our transformation journey is to develop and strengthen our position in B2B services in the Nordic market and the partnership with Komplett is a result of this.
Growth and higher profitability in Consumer Loans. Lending growth for Consumer Loans for the quarter was 10 per cent. A large share of this growth is from own channels, which shows that our focus on strengthening lending in own channels, for which acquisition costs are lower and profitability higher, has started to generate effects. The strategy of prioritising higher profitability ahead of volume growth remains firm, and several interest-rate adjustments were made during the quarter to ensure a continuing stable margin. Moving forward, the focus for Consumer Loans is to continue to automate and improve the customer journey in all markets, while we also further develop the customer offering for loans with collateral in Norway.
Growth in a turbulent world. For the fourth quarter, our business environment remained characterised by uncertainty. We could see that general demand for loans was high but moving forward could be affected by changes in the macroeconomic situation and the trend in inflation. A decline in sales in the retail sector is a negative factor, but the greater need for flexible financing solutions and loans helps fuel demand. To manage the prevailing situation and allow for customers' higher living costs, we made rigorous adjustments to the credit assessment in the autumn, which is in line with the bank's conservative approach to credit risk. Notwithstanding this, we noted healthy growth in the loan portfolio in the quarter, confirmation that our customer offering is strong and competitive.
Strong and stable financial position. We work continuously to optimise our capital structure to ensure high returns and also enable future growth. In the fourth quarter, we announced that the method for calculating operational risk had been changed, which strengthened our capital ratio by 1.1 percentage point. We have followed a structured and conservative approach regarding financing and liquidity for a long time, which serves us well in the current situation. At year-end, the Liquidity Coverage Ratio amounted to 276 per cent, meaning 176 percentage points above the statutory requirement.
Next step in sustainability efforts. In December, Resurs Bank became an official Signatory of the UN Principles for Responsible Banking, a single framework for a sustainable banking industry developed through a partnership between banks worldwide. This is yet more evidence of our ambitions to be a sustainable and responsible player in the financial market.
We also launched a digital course in everyday finances: My Economy. The course is for everyone who wants to learn how to build long-term sustainable everyday finances.
Everyone needs to improve their skills in finances, but it is especially important for young people. Far too many young people today lack understanding of their private finances, which leads to unsound financial decisions with long-term consequences. In the autumn, Resurs raised its ambition level in the area of young people and their finances, for example, by appointing a Youth Ambassador whose day-to-day job is in our Customer Service operations.
Banking system continuing according to plan. The development of the cloud-based core banking system is proceeding according to plan. This work continued in the fourth quarter and the first external services will be launched for customers in the first half of 2023.
We broke the trend in the second half of 2022. In summary, I can state that despite 2022 being a turbulent year in the world it was a stable year for Resurs. We have turned around a number of trends by applying our target-oriented efforts in line with our transformation journey. Excluding nonrecurring items and net income from financial transactions, profit increased 8 per cent year-on-year, the C/I ratio improved from 42.0 per cent to 41.7 per cent and the trend in the NBI margin stabilised. This quarter is proof that we are making progress towards achievements ahead.
I am proud that we are seeing these positive trends and that we are delivering on the transformation journey we embarked on at the end of 2020. This would never have been possible without all the dedicated employees who every day make Resurs stronger with their commitment and skills. We will continue our intensive efforts towards an even better Resurs in 2023!

OCTOBER–DECEMBER 2022 Group results*
Fourth quarter 2022, October– December
OPERATING INCOME
The Group's operating income for the quarter increased 13 per cent to SEK 851 million (753). Net interest income increased 10 per cent to SEK 678 million (614), with interest income amounting to SEK 879 million (707) and interest expense to SEK –201 million (–94). The higher interest expense was the result of higher financing volumes and increased market interest rates. The higher interest income was also the result of increased volumes and price adjustments made due to higher interest rates.
Fee & commission income amounted to SEK 131 million (108) and fee & commission expenses to SEK –14 million (–15), resulting in total net commission of SEK 117 million (93). The higher fee & commission income was mainly due to our strong lending growth.
+13%
Operating income for the quarter
Net income from financial transactions was SEK 2 million (-2). Other operating income, mainly comprising remuneration from lending operations, amounted to SEK 55 million (48). The NBI margin was 9.3 per cent (9.2 per cent) compared with last year.
+0.1% point
Improved NBI margin compared with Q4 21
OPERATING EXPENSES
The Group's expenses before credit losses increased 5 per cent to SEK –355 million (-337), mainly as a result of higher variable costs. The C/I ratio improved since income increased more than costs. Viewed in relation to the operations' income, the cost level amounted to 41.7 per cent (44.7 per cent).
-3.0% points
Improved C/I ratio compared with Q4 21
Credit losses totalled SEK –236 million (–173) and the credit loss ratio was 2.6 per cent (2.1 per cent). The increase was due to higher provisions due to the growth in the loan portfolio, the negative economic outlook that impacted the loss allowance based on the IFRS 9 macro model and slightly higher volumes in delay status, which increased the loss allowance.
PROFIT
Operating profit increased by 7 per cent since last year and amounted to SEK 260 million (244) due to strong growth in income. Tax expense for the quarter amounted to SEK -57 million (-18). Excluding the nonrecurring effect of the changed tax method, tax for Q4 2021 was SEK -67 million. Net profit for the quarter amounted to SEK 203 million (226).

January–December 2022
OPERATING INCOME AND EXPENSES
The Group's operating income increased 4 per cent to SEK 3,201 million (3,069). Excluding net income from financial transactions, income increased 5 per cent compared with the year-earlier period.
Net interest income increased 3 per cent to SEK 2,613 million (2,535), with interest income amounting to SEK 3,131 million (2,899) and interest expense to SEK –517 million (–364). The higher interest expense was the result of higher financing volumes and increased market interest rates. The higher interest income was also the result of increased volumes and price adjustments made due to higher interest rates.
Fee & commission income amounted to SEK 485 million (418) and fee & commission expenses to SEK –74 million (–71), resulting in total net commission of SEK 411 million (347). The higher fee & commission income was mainly due to our strong lending growth.
Net income from financial transactions was SEK -32 million (3) primarily due to the decline in the value of interest-bearing securities, mainly as a result of market turmoil and volatility in capital markets.
The Group's expenses before credit losses excluding the administrative fine of SEK 50 million increased 3 per cent to SEK -1,334 million (–1,289). Expenses including the administrative fine amounted to SEK –1,384 million. Viewed in relation to the operations' income, the cost level (excluding the administrative fine) fell to 41.7 per cent (42.0 per cent) but including the administrative fine amounted to 43.2 per cent.
Credit losses amounted to SEK –789 million (–718 excluding the dissolution of the credit provision of SEK 73 million in Q3 2021 that was made in connection with the pandemic). The credit loss ratio was 2.2 per cent (2.2 per cent in 2021 excluding reversal of the pandemic provision). The risk adjusted NBI margin was 6.8 per cent (7.6 per cent).
PROFIT
Operating profit excluding nonrecurring items amounted to SEK 1,078 million (1,062). Reported operating profit totalled SEK 1,028 million (1,136). Reported net profit for the period amounted to SEK 797 million (925). Tax expense for the period amounted to SEK –231 million (–211), corresponding to an effective tax rate of 22.4 per cent (22.8 per cent excluding the nonrecurring effect of the changed tax method in 2021). Growth in profit excluding nonrecurring items and net income from financial transactions was 8 per cent in 2022 (-17 per cent).

Financial position on 31 December 2022*
Comparative figures in this section refer to 31 December 2021.
The Group's financial position is strong and on 31 December 2022 the capital base amounted to SEK 5,513 million (5,345) in the consolidated situation, comprising the Parent Company, Resurs Holding and the Resurs Bank Group. The total capital ratio was 16.5 per cent (16.3 per cent) and the Common Equity Tier 1 ratio was 14.9 per cent (14.8 per cent). During the period, Resurs Bank and the consolidated situation changed the method for calculating operational risk, which strengthened the capital ratio by approximately 1.1 percentage points.
In 2022, Denmark, Norway and Sweden raised their buffer requirements that had been reduced during the COVID-19 period. This meant that Resurs's countercyclical capital buffer provision amounted to 1.1 per cent (0.2 per cent). The regulatory capital requirement on 31 December 2022 amounted to 9.2 per cent for the Common Equity Tier 1 ratio and 13.5 per cent for the total capital ratio.
Lending to the public amounted to SEK 37,187 million (33,347) on 31 December 2022, representing a 12 per cent increase, and an 8 per cent increase excluding currency effects. The specification of lending on 31 December 2022 was as follows: Sweden 50 per cent, Norway 19 per cent, Denmark 12 per cent and Finland 19 per cent.
In addition to capital from shareholders and bond investors, the operations are financed by deposits from the public. The Group is working actively on various sources of financing to create and maintain diversified financing for the long term.
On 31 December 2022, deposits from the public totalled SEK 32,138 million (26,202). The bank has deposits in SEK, NOK and EUR. Financing through issued securities totalled SEK 6,608 million (7,872). Liquidity remained extremely healthy, and the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) was 276 per cent (240 per cent) in the consolidated situation. The minimum statutory LCR is 100 per cent.
Lending to credit institutions on 31 December 2022 amounted to SEK 4,387 million (4,401). Holdings of treasury and other bills eligible for refinancing, as well as bonds and other interest-bearing securities, totalled SEK 3,130 million (2,451). The Group has a high level of liquidity for meeting its future commitments.
Intangible assets amounted to SEK 2,160 million (1,979), and primarily comprised the goodwill that arose in the acquisition of Finaref and Danaktiv in 2014 and yA Bank in 2015.
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 2,492 million (465) for the period. Cash flow from deposits amounted to SEK 5,747 million (1,059) and the net change in investment assets totalled SEK -674 million (523). Cash flow from investing activities for the year totalled SEK -199 million (–113). Cash flow from financing activities was SEK -2,064 million (-161), and the difference compared to last quarter was the maturity of issued securities and subordinated debt.
Dividend
The Board intends to propose that the 2023 Annual General Meeting resolve on a dividend of SEK 1.07 per share. In total, this means that as per 2022, Resurs Holding will have distributed SEK 1.99 per share in dividends, corresponding to 50 per cent of the Group's reported net profit for 2022. The total proposed dividend for the AGM to adopt on 26 April 2023 amounts to SEK 214 million.
The final day of trading in the company's shares including the right to distribution will be 26 April 2023. The record date is proposed as 28 April 2023 and the dividend is expected to be paid on 4 May 2023. The Board intends to convene another Extraordinary General Meeting in the autumn this year to resolve on dividends.

Strong growth and improved margin in final quarter of the year
FOURTH QUARTER 2022, OCTOBER–DECEMBER
Black Week and Christmas shopping contributed to high sales. The final quarter of the year included both Black Week and the Christmas shopping period, both of which positively impacted our sales. Due to the situation in the world, we saw slightly lower demand than in prior years but we continued to report a better trend in our lending compared with the retail sector as a whole. One of the reasons for this is that our offering featuring flexible instalment payments is normally appreciated even more by customers in uncertain times for private finances if unforeseen costs were to arise.
Resurs – a stable partner to count on across the Nordic
region. In the fourth quarter of the year, we entered into a partnership with JYSK in Sweden, encompassing all of the company's just over 150 stores. This follows Resurs and JYSK's many years of successful partnership in the Finnish and Norwegian markets. Resurs's offering in physical stores and online now extends across the entire Nordic region. Our ability to offer the same easy customer journey in all of the Nordic countries, regardless of sales channel, is often one of the reasons that the retail industry chooses to partner with Resurs.
Cluster-focus generates results. Over the past year, we have talked about our focus on different types of industries. Dental care is one example and during the quarter a new partnership was entered into with the private start-up MyDentist, which wants to change the dentistry industry with its generous opening hours and high availability. MyDentist chose to partner with Resurs thanks to the ability to offer its customers instalment plans with a fixed monthly price for its about ten practices throughout Sweden.
Resurs Cards. In the fourth quarter, credit card sales remained favourable and the positive trend in new sales of credit cards in the company's own channels resulted in a new sales record in December. Our card offering featuring a range of payment options is particularly appreciated in these uneasy times since it allows for individual flexibility.
Factoring partnership with Komplett performing well. An interim agreement for factoring was signed with one of the companies in the Komplett Group at the end of August. This partnership was further developed in the fourth quarter and a long-term factoring agreement with two Norwegian and three Swedish companies in the Komplett Group was signed. The Norwegian companies were added according to schedule at the end of 2022 and the Swedish companies are expected to join in the first half of 2023.
Financial performance. Lending to the public on 31 December 2022 increased 14 per cent to SEK 13,045 million (11,463). In constant currencies, the loan portfolio increased 10 per cent year-on-year. Operating income totalled SEK 348 million (290), up 20 per cent compared with the same quarter in 2021. The year-earlier quarter included a nonrecurring cost of SEK 8 million. The NBI margin increased 0.6 of a percentage point compared with last year and amounted to 11.0 per cent (10.4 per cent).
Credit losses for the quarter increased both in absolute terms and as a percentage of lending, which was mainly an effect of both the strong growth in lending and slightly higher volumes in delay status.
JANUARY-DECEMBER 2022
Lending to the public as of 31 December 2022 had increased 14 per cent to SEK 13,045 million (11,463). Operating income increased to SEK 1,269 million (1,239). Credit losses for the year increased both in absolute terms but declined as a percentage of lending, which was mainly an effect of the strong growth in lending.
ABOUT PAYMENT SOLUTIONS
The Payment Solutions business segment comprises the business lines Retail Finance, Cards and B2B. Within retail finance, Resurs is a leading omni-partner for finance, payment and loyalty solutions in the Nordic region.
Cards includes the Resurs credit and payment cards that enable retail finance partners to promote their own brands. The B2B area primarily focuses on invoice factoring and invoice discounting for small and mid-sized companies.

CONSUMER LOANS Adjustments to new interest rate climate
FOURTH QUARTER 2022, OCTOBER–DECEMBER
In the fourth quarter, lending for Consumer Loans amounted to SEK 24,142 million, corresponding to growth of 10 per cent compared with last year. A large share of this growth is from own channels, which shows that the focus on strengthening lending in own channels, for which acquisition costs are lower and profitability higher, has started to generate effects. The strategy of prioritising higher profitability ahead of volume growth remains firm, and several interest-rate adjustments were made during the quarter to compensate for higher interest expense and ensure future profitability.
Sales record in Sweden. The Swedish market performed strongly during the quarter despite several price adjustments that have been made. In particular, the share of lending through own channels increased. This shows that the investments made to enhance the online experience and Resurs's ability to make improvements to risk assessments are contributing to profitable growth.
Focus on secured loans in Norway. The share of lending in own channels has increased, which is a result of a greater focus on reducing dependence on external channels for new sales. The market for loans with collateral in residential properties is growing and during the quarter Resurs's offering was developed to meet customer needs.
Continuing growth in Finland. We are continuing to grow in Finland and the loan portfolio grew year-on-year and lending in own channels increased during the quarter. More and more customers than previously are choosing to apply for loans directly with Resurs than via a broker due to our continuing work on optimising pricing.
Continuing improvements in Denmark. Demand was slightly lower in the quarter compared with last year, probably the result of higher uncertainty in the world. As in previous
quarters, continuing improvements have been made to the customer journey, with a focus on boosting lending.
Financial performance. Lending to the public as of 31 December 2022 totalled SEK 24,142 million (21,884), corresponding to a 10 per cent increase in SEK. In constant currencies the increase was 7 per cent. Operating income for the quarter rose 8 per cent to SEK 504 million (466). The NBI margin amounted to 8.5 per cent (8.7 per cent) and declined primarily due to a lower margin in the Norwegian market. Credit losses for the quarter increased both in absolute terms and as a percentage of lending due to growth in the loan portfolio and higher provisions due to negative economic forecasts that affect the loss allowance based on the IFRS 9 macro model, and slightly higher volumes in delay status.
JANUARY-DECEMBER 2022
Lending to the public as of 31 December 2022 amounted to SEK 24,142 million (21,884). Operating income for the period increased 5 per cent to SEK 1,935 million (1,847). Credit losses for the year increased in absolute terms due to strong growth in lending. Excluding last year's dissolution of the pandemic provision, credit losses as a percentage of lending were stable.
ABOUT CONSUMER LOANS
The Consumer Loans segment offers consumer loans, i.e. unsecured loans, and secured loans with collateral in residential properties in the Norwegian market.
A consumer loan is normally used to finance larger purchases and investments.
Consumer Loans also helps consumers to consolidate their loans with other banks, in order to reduce their monthly payments or interest expense.

Notes to the condensed financial statements
G1. Accounting principles
The Group's interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and with applicable provisions of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act for Credit Institutions and Securities Companies and the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority's regulations and general guidelines on Annual Reports in Credit Institutions and Securities Companies (FFFS 2008:25), as well as the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 1, Supplementary Accounting Rules for Corporate Groups.
No new IFRS or IFRIC interpretations, effective as from 1 January 2022, have had any material impact on the Group.
The arrangement of the Group's income statement has been changed due to distribution of Solid Försäkringsaktiebolag. This means that the discontinued operations Solid Försäkringsaktiebolag´s net profit for the period is shown on a separate line. Comparative items for the continuing operations have been recalculated as if the discontinued operations were not a part of the Group at the beginning of the comparison period. This means that commission income from the discontinued operations has been regarded as commission income from an external party and has not been eliminated.
In the cash flow statement the discontinued operations Solid Försäkringsaktiebolag are reported on separate lines under the cash flow from operating activities and cash flow from investing activities.
Only the continuing operations are reported in the statement of financial position as of 2021-12- 31 and as of 2021-12-31 both the continuing operations and the discontinued operations are included.
The Parent Company has prepared its interim report in accordance with the requirements in the Annual Accounts Act (AAA) and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2, Accounting for Legal Entities. The same accounting and valuation principles were applied as in the latest Annual report.
For detailed accounting principles for the Group, see the Annual report for 2021.
The regulatory consolidation (known as "consolidated situation") comprises the Resurs Bank AB Group and its Parent Company Resurs Holding AB.
The interim information on pages 5-35 comprises an integrated component of this financial report.
G2. Financing - Consolidated situation
A core component of financing efforts is maintaining a well-diversified financing structure with access to several sources of financing. Access to a number of sources of financing means that it is possible to use the most appropriate source of financing at any particular time.
The main type of financing remains deposits from the public. This type of financing has been offered to customers in Sweden, Norway and Germany.
Deposits, which are analysed on a regular basis, totalled SEK 32,139 million (26,202), and is allocated between Sweden 46 per cent (44 per cent), Germany 36 per cent (33 per cent) and Norway 18 per cent (23 per cent). The lending to the public/deposits from the public ratio for the consolidated situation is 116 per cent (127 per cent).
Resurs Bank has a funding programme for issuing bonds, the programme amounts to SEK 10,000 million (9,000). Resurs Bank has acted both on the Swedish and Norwegian markets.
At 31 December 2022 the program has ten outstanding issues at a nominal amount of SEK 3,800 million (5,400) and NOK 1,050 million (1,050). Of the ten
Liquidity - Consolidated situation
Liquidity risk includes the risk of not being able to meet liquidity commitments without significantly higher costs. The consolidated situation, must maintain a liquidity reserve and have access to an unutilised liquidity margin in the event of irregular or unexpected liquidity flows.
The Group's liquidity risk is managed through policies that specify limits, responsibilities and monitoring and include a contingency plan. The purpose of the contingency plan is to make preparations for various courses of action should the liquidity situation trend unfavourably. The contingency plan includes, among other things, risk indicators and action plans. The Group's liquidity risk is controlled and audited by independent functions.
Liquidity comprises both a liquidity reserve and another liquidity portfolio that is monitored on a daily basis. The main liquidity risk is deemed to arise in the event multiple depositors simultaneously withdraw their deposited funds. An internal model is used to set minimum requirements for the amount of the liquidity reserve, calculated based on deposit volumes, the proportion covered by deposit insurance and relationship to depositors. The model also takes into account the future maturities of issued securities.
The Board has stipulated that the liquidity reserve may never fall below SEK 1,500 million. Apart from the liquidity reserve, there is an intraday liquidity requirement of at least 4 per cent of deposits from the public, a minimum SEK 800 million. There are also other liquidity requirements regulating and controlling the business.
issues, nine are senior unsecured bonds and one issues are a subordinated loan of SEK 300 million (600). Resurs Holding issued Additional Tier 1 Capital of a nominal SEK 300 million (300).
Resurs Bank has been awarded the credit rating BBB with stable outlook from the rating company Nordic Credit Rating (NCR). Access to Nordic Credit Ratings analyses can be found on the website www.nordiccreditrating.com.
Resurs Bank has completed a securitisation of loan receivables, a form of structured financing, referred to as Asset Backed Securities (ABS). This took place by transferring loan receivables to Resurs Bank's wholly owned subsidiaries Resurs Consumer Loans 1 Limited. Resurs Bank signed an agreement in June 2022 to extend the existing ABS financing. This financing has been arranged with JP Morgan Chase Bank. Resurs Bank has for a period of 18 months (revolving period), the right to continue sale of certain additional loan receivables to Resurs Consumer Loans. At 31 December a total of approximately SEK 2.5 billion in loan receivables had been transferred to Resurs Consumer Loans. Resurs Bank and Resurs Consumer Loans have provided security for the assets that form part of the securitisation. At the balance sheet date, the external financing amounted to SEK 2.0 billion (2.0) of the ABS financing.
The liquidity reserve, totalling SEK 2,164 million (1,898), is in accordance with Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority regulations on liquidity risk management (FFFS 2010:7) and applicable amendments thereto for the consolidated situation. Accordingly, assets are segregated, unutilised and of high quality. The liquidity reserve largely comprises assets with the highest credit quality rating.
In addition to the liquidity reserve, the consolidated situation has other liquid assets primarily comprised of cash balances with other banks. These assets are of high credit quality and total SEK 5,591 million (5,172) for the consolidated situation. Accordingly, total liquidity amounted to SEK 7,755 million (7,070) corresponds to 24 per cent (27 per cent) of deposits from the public. The Group also has unutilised credit facilities of NOK 50 million (50).
Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) for the consolidated situation is reported to the authorities on a monthly basis. The LCR shows the ratio between high qualitative assets and net outflow during a 30-day stressed period. A ratio of 100 per cent means the assets managed the stress test scenario and is also the authority's limit. As at 31 December 2022 the ratio for the consolidated situation is 276 per cent (240 per cent). For the period January to December 2022, the average LCR measures is 248 per cent for the consolidated situation.
All valuations of interest-bearing securities were made at market values that take into account accrued interest.

G3. Capital adequacy - Consolidated situation
Capital requirements are calculated in accordance with European Parliament and Council Regulation EU 575/2013 (CRR) and Directive 2013/36 EU (CRD IV). The Directive was incorporated via the Swedish Capital Buffers Act (2014:966), and the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority's (SFSA) regulations regarding prudential requirements and capital buffers (FFFS 2014:12). The capital requirement calculation below comprises the statutory minimum capital requirement for credit risk, credit valuation adjustment risk, market risk and operational risk.
The combined buffer requirement for the consolidated situation comprises a capital conservation buffer and a countercyclical capital buffer. The capital conservation buffer requirement amounts to 2.5 per cent of the risk weighted assets. The countercyclical capital buffer requirement is weighted according to geographical requirements and amounts to 1.1 per cent.
Authorities in the Nordic countries reduced the counter-cyclical buffer requirements in spring 2020 in connection to covid-19, but have communicated that there will be gradual increases until requirements are reverted back to levels before covid-19. 31 December 2022 Sweden has countercyclical buffer requirements of 1 per cent, Norway 2 per cent and Denmark 2 per cent. Finland's countercyclical buffer requirement remains unchanged at 0 percent. The increases have affected Resurs by 0.8 percentage points compared to the previous year's counter-cyclical buffer requirement.
The consolidated situation calculates the capital requirement for credit risk, credit rating adjustment risk, market risk and operational risk.
Credit risk is calculated by applying the standardised method under which the asset items of the consolidated situation are weighted and divided between 17 different exposure classes.
The total risk-weighted exposure amount is multiplied by 8 per cent to obtain the minimum capital requirement for credit risk. The capital requirement for operational risk is calculated by the alternative standardised approach. With this approach, the capital requirement for operational risks is calculated as 12 or 15 per cent of an income indicator (meaning average operating income for the past three years categorised as Retail banking and Commercial banking). The counterparty risk is calculated using the simplified standardised method. External rating companies are used to calculate the bank's capital base requirement for bonds and other interest-bearing securities.
Resurs Bank has applied to the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority for permission to apply the transition rules decided at EU level in December 2017. Under the transition rules, a gradual phase-in of the effect of IFRS 9 on capital adequacy is permitted, regarding both the effect of the transition from IAS 39 as at 1 January 2018 and the effect on the reporting date that exceeds the amount when IFRS 9 is first applied to stage 1 and stage 2. The phase-in period is as follows:
2018: 5 %, 2019: 10 %, 2020: 15 %, 2021: 20 %, 2022: 25 %, 2023: 25 %
In December 2019, Resurs Holding AB issued Additional Tier 1 Capital of a nominal SEK 300 million. The notes have a perpetual tenor with a first call option after five years and a temporary write-down mechanism.

Listed prices (unadjusted) on active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
Inputs that are observable for the asset or liability other than listed prices included in Level 1, either directly (i.e., as price quotations) or indirectly (i.e., derived from price quotations).
Financial instruments measured at fair value for disclosure purposes
The carrying amount of variable rate deposits and borrowing from the public is deemed to reflect fair value.
For fixed rate deposits and borrowing from the public, fair value is calculated based on current market rates, with the initial credit spread for deposits kept constant. Fair value has been classified as level 2.
Fair value of subordinated debt is calculated based on valuation at the listing marketplace. Fair value has been classified as level 1.
Fair value of issued securities (MTN) is calculated based on the listing marketplace. Fair value has been classified as level 1.
Level 3
Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (i.e., unobservable inputs).
For issued securities (ABS), fair value is calculated by assuming that duration ends at the close of the revolving period. Fair value has been classified as level 3.
The fair value of the portion of lending that has been sent to debt recovery and purchased non-performing consumer loans is calculated by discounting calculated cash flows at the estimated market interest rate instead of at the original effective interest rate.
