STATEMENT BY THE CEO

STRONG END TO 2017 – CONTINUED PROFITABLE GROWTH AND NEW RETAIL FINANCE PARTNERS

2017 ended with another successful quarter. Lending amounted to SEK 24.1 billion, up 14 per cent in 2017, meaning SEK 2.9 billion in absolute terms. We can also present the best profit after tax for a quarter in our 40-year history – we achieved SEK 289 million, an increase of 18 per cent. This means that we reported profit after tax of more than SEK 1 billion in 2017. We achieved this by continuing to generate profitable growth, through our scalability which enabled C/I before credit losses to continue to improve despite increased IT investments, and by retaining good control of our credit losses.

The growth in the loan portfolio remained strong in both our banking segments and in all of our markets. This was achieved despite having to make adjustments to the new regulations in the Norwegian market, which, as anticipated, slowed lending growth in Consumer Loans in Norway. We were aware of this and thus we focused on increasing the rate of growth in our other markets, which shows the strength of our Nordic business model.

Enhanced financial targets

Over the eight quarters that Resurs Holding has been listed, we have delivered on or exceeded all of our financial targets in all quarters. We adjusted three of our targets at the end of 2017 given that we have continuously met our targets.

We increased our target for lending growth from about 10 per cent to exceed 10 per cent. We also saw a faster positive trend for our C/I ratio (before credit losses and excluding Insurance) and the target was adjusted from 40 per cent to be below 40 per cent. The risk-adjusted NBI margin was also introduced to be in line with the levels of recent years, meaning 10 to 12 per cent.

Successful performance of the operations continues

We entered into a number of collaborations with new retail finance partners during the quarter, such as expanding the collaboration with our existing partner Upgraded to now include Elgiganten in all Nordic countries. It means that, for example, customers can pay a monthly fee to upgrade their Apple products to newer models every year.

We continuously work on launching new and innovative solutions for our retail finance partners and customers. Earlier in the year, we launched our digital credit application in physical stores and its usage is already at more than 70 per cent in Sweden.

We also see that the digital tools that we have successfully introduced to our Business Support have simplified and improved the efficiency of our processors. For example, more than one-third of all sales of our Supreme Card now take place by incoming telephone call, which has reduced our acquisition costs.

Seamless retail – the future way of consuming

Our omnichannel strategy means that we offer efficient payment solutions regardless of channel. Consumers are to be able to move from a retail finance partner's physical store to the e-commerce store or the other way round. Seamless retail is the future way of consuming and we work continuously to develop our offering. One-third of the retail finance partners who joined us during the year operate in the omnichannel.

All in all, we are very strong for the future, we are well-organised and structured to continue expand our operations.

Operating income

GROUP RESULTS*

FOURTH QUARTER 2017, OCTOBERDECEMBER

Operating income

Net expense from financial transactions amounted to SEK -6 million (1). The change related to value fluctuations in investments in interest-bearing securities and shares and exchange-rate differences in assets, liabilities and derivatives in foreign currencies. Other operating income, primarily comprising remuneration from lending operations, amounted to SEK 56 million (46).

Operating expenses

The Group's expenses before credit losses totalled SEK -323 million (-323). Personnel expenses rose SEK 19 million to SEK -146 million (-127) year-on-year, mainly a result of the recruitment of new employees in IT. Other general administrative costs declined SEK 7 million to SEK -129 million (-137) and other operating expenses fell SEK 11 million to SEK -39 million (-50). Viewed in relation to the operations' income, the cost level (excluding Insurance) continued to improve and amounted to 39.4 per cent (43.8 per cent).

Credit losses totalled SEK -113 million (-95) and the credit loss ratio was 1.9 per cent (1.8 per cent). The risk-adjusted NBI margin was thus 11.0 per cent (11.4 per cent), which is well within the Group's financial target of 10 to 12 per cent.

Profit

Operating profit increased 35 per cent to SEK 371 million (276). Net profit for the quarter amounted to SEK 289 million (244), up 18 per cent. Tax expense for the period amounted to SEK -82 million (-31). Tax expense in the preceding year was impacted by a positive tax outcome from previously completed mergers.

FULL-YEAR 2017, JANUARY—DECEMBER

Operating income and expenses

The Group's operating income increased 11 per cent to SEK 3,091 million (2,797), primarily due to growth in lending. The NBI margin in the banking operations amounted to 12.9 per cent (13.6 per cent), with the decline due to higher volumes with a slightly lower NBI margin, but higher profitability in total. Net interest income increased 9 per cent to SEK 2,419 million (2,212), with interest income amounting to SEK 2,687 million (2,449) and interest expense to SEK -268 (-237). Fee & commission income amounted to SEK 234 million (225) and fee & commission expense to SEK -63 million (-49). This resulted in a total net commission for the banking operations of SEK 171 million (176).

The Group's expenses before credit losses totalled SEK -1,281 million (-1,280). The preceding year was negatively impacted by nonrecurring costs of SEK -34 million for the IPO and the penalty fee of SEK -35 million from the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority. Adjusted for nonrecurring costs, expenses increased 6 per cent. Year-on-year expenses increased in absolute terms as a result of intensified marketing activities and higher investments in IT. Viewed in relation to the operations' income, the cost level (excluding Insurance) continued to improve and amounted to 40.8 per cent (44.7 per cent) for the full-year.

Credit losses totalled SEK -413 million (-377) and the credit loss ratio was 1.8 per cent (1.9 per cent) due to sustained growth in the loan portfolio and improved credit quality. The risk-adjusted NBI margin was 11.1 per cent (11.6 per cent), which is within the Group's financial target of 10 to 12 per cent.

Profit

Operating profit increased 23 per cent to SEK 1,397 million (1,140). Net profit for the year amounted to SEK 1,080 million (905) and excluding nonrecurring costs the increase was 12 per cent. Tax expense for the year amounted to SEK -317 million (-235).

FINANCIAL POSITION AT 31 DECEMBER 2017*

At 31 December 2017, the Group's financial position was strong, with a capital base of SEK 3,905 million (3,340) in the consolidated situation, comprising the Parent Company, Resurs Holding AB, and the Resurs Bank AB Group. The total capital ratio was 15.5 per cent (14.1 per cent ) and the Common Equity Tier 1 ratio was 13.6 per cent (13.2 per cent).

At 31 December 2017, lending to the public totalled SEK 24,069 million (21,204), representing a 14 per cent increase since the start of the year, and a 14-per-cent increase excluding currency effects. This exceeded the Group's established financial target of lending growth of more than 10 per cent. The increase was driven by both banking segments and by all geographic markets.

In addition to capital from shareholders, the operations are financed by deposits from the public, the bonds issued under Resurs Bank's MTN programme and securitisation of certain loan receivables (ABS financing). The Group pursues a strategy of actively working with various sources of financing in order to use the most suitable source of financing at any time and to create diversified financing in the long term.

Deposits from the public at 31 December 2017 fell 3 per cent to SEK 18,033 million (18,618), which is in line with the strategy of diversified financing. Financing through issued securities totalled SEK 5,597 million (3,316). Liquidity remained healthy and the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) was 201 per cent (181 per cent) in the consolidated situation. There has been a minimum statutory LCR ratio of 80 per cent since 2017 that will increase to 100 per cent from 2018. Lending to credit institutions at 31 December 2017 amounted to SEK 2,794 million (3,295). Holdings of treasury and other bills eligible for refinancing, as well as bonds and other interest-bearing securities, totalled SEK 2,578 million (2,778).

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK -2,081 million (-213) for the year. Cash flow from deposits amounted to SEK -316 million (1,787) and the net change in investment assets totalled SEK 152 million (-297). Cash flow from investing activities for the year totalled SEK -85 million (-26) and cash flow from financing activities was SEK 1,702 million (1,132). Bonds totalling SEK 2,050 million and NOK 400 million have been issued under Resurs Bank's MTN programme since the start of the year, of which SEK 300 million pertained to subordinated Tier 2 bonds. Resurs Holding paid a dividend of SEK 900 million during the year.

Intangible assets amounted to SEK 1,877 million (1,885), mainly comprising the goodwill that arose in the acquisition of yA Bank in 2015.

Dividends

The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting adopt a dividend of SEK 1.80 per share. Including the dividend of SEK 1.50 paid on 3 November 2017, this year's dividend amounts to SEK 3.30, representing earnings per share of 61 per cent. The total proposed dividend for the Annual General Meeting to adopt on 27 April 2018 amounts to SEK 360 million. The Resurs share will be traded ex rights from 30 April 2018. The record date is proposed as 2 May 2018 and the dividend will be paid on 7 May 2018. The Board aims to continue to propose dividends every half-year and plans to give notice of an Extraordinary General Meeting in autumn 2018.

RESURS HOLDING'S THREE SEGMENTS

Resurs Holding has divided its operations into three business segments, based on the products and services offered: Payment Solutions, Consumer Loans and Insurance

Payment Solutions delivers finance, payment and loyalty solutions that drive retail sales, as well as credit cards to the public. Consumer Loans focuses primarily on lending to consumers. Insurance includes the wholly owned subsidiary Solid Försäkring, active within consumer insurance. In 2017, Payment Solutions accounted for 41 per cent of the Group's operating income, while Consumer Loans and Insurance accounted for 53 and 6 per cent, respectively.

PAYMENT SOLUTIONS
Strong performance and several new retail finance partners
FOURTH QUARTER 2017, OCTOBER—DECEMBER
Payment Solutions reported strong growth in the fourth quarter. The strong trend was
primarily the result of high sales among existing partners, and Black Friday also
contributed to the sharp sales increase across the Nordics.
The segment initiated several partnerships with new retail finance partners during the
quarter. One-third of these operations operate in the omnichannel, meaning that they
can be accessed and sell their services and/or goods both online and in physical stores. In
the Swedish market, agreements were signed with companies including Akademikliniken,
Big Travel, the digital and mobile point of sale solution Kaching and the business and
payment system supplier Compilator. Budgetsport, Intersport and The Athlete's Foot are
examples of new retail finance partners in the Finnish market. The collaboration with the
existing partner Upgraded was expanded to now include Elgiganten in all Nordic
countries.
Earlier in the year, the segment launched a digital credit application in physical stores and
its usage is already at more than 70 per cent in Sweden and 50 per cent in Denmark. The
launch is under way to all retail finance partners in Norway and launch to the Finnish

income was strengthened by higher business volumes in the quarter.
Operating income less credit losses totalled SEK 289 million (259), a year-on-year increase

Continued strong profitable growth
FOURTH QUARTER 2017, OCTOBER—DECEMBER
Consumer Loans continued to report a healthy increase in sales and posted yet another
record-breaking quarter. The strongest trend in absolute terms in Sweden and Norway,
while Denmark increased the most measured in per cent. The offering to customers
outside our own database continued to generate positive results in Denmark.
The new technical platform launched during the year made a positive contribution to
growth in Finland. The platform provides a simpler and more automated application
process for customers and provides more opportunities to analyse and enhance the
efficiency of credit lending. The platform was also launched in Norway during the quarter
and initially reported positive results. The roll-out to other Nordic countries will take place
in 2018.
ABOUT CONSUMER LOANS
In the Consumer Loans segment,
Resurs offers unsecured loans to
consumers who want to finance
investments in their homes, holidays
or other consumption.
In the Norwegian market, the segment made adjustments to the new regulations, which,
as anticipated, slowed lending growth in Norway. Despite this, total lending growth for
Consumer Loans was in line with previous quarters since the segment intensified its focus
on the other geographic markets. This shows the strength of Resurs's Nordic business
model.
Resurs also provides help in
consolidating loans held by
consumers with other banks, with
the aim of reducing the consumer's
interest expense. Resurs currently
holds approximately SEK 14.7 billion
The digitisation of services and offerings is continuing. The "My Credit Rating" service for

RETAIL FINANCE PARTNERS IN 2017

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS SOME OF RESURS'S NEW

JANUARY—DECEMBER 2017

Resurs Holding presented new financial targets

At Resurs Holding's first Capital Market Day in November 2017, the company presented its view of how the company's strong position will continue to drive growth and profitability forward. The company also described the market situation, trends on the market and the Group's new financial targets. These new financial targets are presented on page 12.

Resolution on dividend and buy-back authorisation

The Extraordinary General Meeting held in October 2017 resolved to pay a cash dividend of SEK 1.50 per share. The dividend was paid on 3 November. The Meeting also resolved to authorise the Board to acquire own shares on the stock exchange for the period until the next Annual General Meeting. The authorisation to buy back shares encompasses up to 5 per cent of all of the shares in the company.

Strengthened capital position due to Resurs Bank securing approval from SFSA

In September 2017, the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority decided to permit Resurs Holding's subsidiary Resurs Bank, in calculations of capital requirements for currency risk, to exempt items in foreign currency that have already been deducted from the capital base of the consolidated situation.

AFTER THE END OF THE PERIOD

Resurs Bank expanded and extended ABS financing

The ABS financing was expanded in January 2018, and a new 18-month revolving period commenced. For Resurs Bank, this means that external financing increased from SEK 2.1 billion to SEK 2.9 billion.

Risk and capital management

The Group's ability to manage risks and conduct effective capital planning is fundamental to its ability to be profitable. The business faces various forms of risk including credit risks, market risks, liquidity risks and operational risks.

A more detailed description of the bank's risks, liquidity and capital management is presented in Note G2 Liquidity, Note G3 Capital Adequacy, and in the most recent annual report.

Information on operations

Resurs Holding AB is a financial holding company. Operating activities are conducted in the wholly owned subsidiaries Resurs Bank AB, with subsidiaries, and Solid Försäkrings AB. Resurs Bank AB conducts banking operations in the Nordic countries. Operations are primarily consumer-oriented and are licensed by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority.

Employees

There were 763 full-time employees within the Group at 31 December 2017, up 13 since 30 September and up 35 since the end of 2016. The increase was mainly the result of the recruitment of new employees in IT.

Transition effects of IFRS 9

The new standard for financial instruments, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, encompasses recognition and measurement, impairment and general hedge accounting and replaces the existing requirements in these areas in IAS 39. IFRS 9 comes into effect for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The new impairment requirements entail a nonrecurring effect of SEK 413 million regarding total reserves and provisions for items in and off the balance sheet. Equity declines by SEK 319 million after expected tax. Resurs will apply the transition rules published by the EU that permit the phase-in of the effect on the capital adequacy ratios. The impact on the capital adequacy ratios in 2018 after adjustments for deductions for expected loss amounts and with the transition rules is deemed to be immaterial.

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 RFR1, Supplementary Accounting Rules for Corporate Groups. The Resurs Group's accounting principles are presented in more detail in the latest annual report. No new IFRS or IFRIC interpretations, effective as from 1 January 2017, have had any material impact on the Group.

The Parent Company has prepared its year-end report in accordance with the requirements for year-end reports 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 policies were applied as in the latest annual report.

IFRS 9 Financial instruments will replace IAS 39 Financial instruments from the 2018 fiscal year. For calculating credit loss reserves, IFRS 9 is based on calculating the expected credit losses, as opposed to the current model based on credit loss events that have occurred. This means that the calculation of expected credit losses is based on the bank's total lending volumes, including credits without any increased credit risk, which was not the case under IAS 39. The impairment model includes a three-stage model based on changes in the credit quality of financial assets. Under this threestage model, assets are divided into three different categories depending on how credit risk has changed since the asset was initially recognised in the balance sheet. Category 1 encompasses assets for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk, category 2 encompasses assets for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk, while category 3 encompasses defaulted assets. The credit loss provision for assets is governed by the category to which the assets belong. Reserves are made under category 1 for expected credit losses within 12 months, while reserves for category 2 and 3 are made for expected credit losses under the full lifetime of the assets.

A central factor impacting the amount of expected credit losses is the rule governing the transfer of an asset between category 1 and 2. The Group makes use of change in the lifetime Probability of Default (PD) to determine the significant increase in risk, with the change assessed by a combination of absolute and relative changes in the lifetime PD. Furthermore, all credits for which payments are more than 30 days late are attributed to category 2, regardless of whether or not there is a significant increase in risk. RESURS HOLDING AB | YEAR-END REPORT JAN–DEC 201718

Expected credit losses under IFRS 9 will be calculated by multiplying the PD with the Exposure at Default (EAD) multiplied by the Loss Given Default (LGD). For assets in category 1, the calculation is based on the next 12 months, while for category 2 it is based on the expected life of the asset.

Calculations of credit loss reserves under IFRS 9 include prospective information based on the macroeconomic outlook. The Group has decided to base the prospective calculations on a macroeconomic variable that, from a historical perspective, has proven to correlate well with changes in the Group's credit losses and on an estimated effect of regulatory changes in Norway.

The new impairment requirements entail a nonrecurring effect of SEK 413 million regarding total reserves and provisions for items in and off the balance sheet. Equity declines by SEK 319 million after expected tax.

The Group believes that the calculations of credit loss reserves under IFRS 9 will entail greater volatility in the credit loss line of the income statement, which is primarily due to transfers between category 1 and 2 and the calculations being more procyclic as a result of assessment of the macroeconomic outlook being included in the calculations.

The interim information on pages 2-33 comprises an integrated component of this financial report.

G2. Liquidity - Consolidated situation

Liquidity risk includes the risk of not being able to meet liquidity commitments without significantly higher costs.The consolidated situation, comprised of the Parent Company Resurs Holding AB and the Resurs Bank AB Group, 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 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 1,200 million. Apart from the liquidity reserve, there is an intraday liquidity requirement of at least 4 per cent of deposits from the public, or a minimum SEK 600 million. There are also other liquidity requirements regulating and controlling the business.

The liquidity reserve, totalling SEK 1,744 million (1,740), 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 3,113 million (3,827) for the consolidated situation. Accordingly, total liquidity amounted to SEK 4,857 million (5,567). Total liquidity corresponded to 27 per cent (30) of deposits from the public. The Group also has unutilised credit facilities of SEK 50 million (553).

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. As at 31 December 2017, the ratio for the consolidated situation is 201 per cent (181). There has been a minimum statutory LCR ratio of 80 per cent since 2017; this will increase to 100 per cent by 2018.

All valuations of interest-bearing securities were made at market values that take into account accrued interest.

Financing - Consolidated situation

Summary of liquidity – Consolidated situation

SEK 3,250 million (800), divided between SEK 2,850 million (800) and NOK
400 million (0). Of the eight issues, seven are senior unsecured bonds and
one issue is a subordinated loan of SEK 300 million.
In Norway, outside the framework of the programme, yA Bank issued NOK
550 million (400) in senior unsecured bonds and subordinated debt NOK
40 million (40).
Resurs Bank previously 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. This type of
financing was expanded on 21 October 2016, and at 31 December 2017 a
total of approximately SEK 2.7 billion in loan receivables had been
transferred to Resurs Consumer Loans. The acquisition of loan receivables
by Resurs Consumer Loans was financed by an international financial
institution. 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. 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 2.1 billion (2.1) of the
ABS financing.

Leverage ratio
The leverage ratio is a non-risk-sensitive capital requirement defined in
Regulation (EU) no 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the
Council. The ratio states the amount of equity in relation to the bank's total
assets including items that are not recognised in the balance sheet and is
calculated by the Tier 1 capital as a percentage of the total exposure
measure.
The bank currently has a reporting requirement to the Swedish Financial
Supervisory Authority but no decision has yet been made regarding a
quantitative requirement for the level of the leverage ratio. A quantitative
requirement of 3 per cent is expected to be adopted.
