Statement by the CEO
We are advancing our positions in e-commerce and digital interfaces
The journey towards our new targets. Our transformation journey is ongoing and the entire Nordic organisation is full of activity. Our focus in the first quarter of 2021 was on transforming Resurs Bank into a significantly more data-driven and tech-oriented financial company in order to be able to offer the Nordic market innovative solutions and services.
Work is being carried out to make a number of important investments in business-driven IT projects and technical solutions, at the same time as we are increasing the share of cloud-based systems in the Group. These changes will make us considerably faster in the development of our new and better services for our customers.
Change from the inside out. We carried out a 360-degree survey during the quarter in which we interviewed investors, customers, partners, employees, the public and opinion makers about their views and expectations of a value-creating Resurs and our industry, today and tomorrow. The insight from the survey provides us with a clear view of the opportunity's and the business environment's expectations of us as a bank. This will also form the basis of strategic decisions in our transition to become a more attractive and relevant financial company that is also assuming a clearer and more active role in a sustainable society.
Stable through the pandemic. Lending to the public increased a total of 1 per cent compared with the year-earlier quarter. In constant currencies, the increase was 2 per cent. The more restrictive credit assessment introduced at the start of the pandemic remained in place and restricted growth. Despite the continued pandemic, we see no changes to our customers' payment patterns and credit losses were stable. However, COVID-19 impacted the operations in the first quarter. Lockdown restrictions to reduce the rate of infection mainly affected the Danish and Norwegian markets negatively during the first few months of the year. We carried out a number of different activities to turn around the lower level of new lending and we saw positive signs towards the end of the quarter. However, a broad diversification in Nordic retail also gives us important resilience and an ability to offset industries with falling demand with other industries that performed relatively better.
Wind of change in Norway. The Norwegian market has shrunk and competition remained high since the introduction of new rules in 2019, which means that new lending was lower and a higher share of customers ended their loans in advance. During the quarter, we saw positive effects in new lending where we used more effective tools and customer marketing to make competitive offerings in the market. Data-driven predictive modelling is one of the tools we use to predict and manage customers who end their loans in advance.
Continuously growing e-commerce. COVID-19 has completely changed consumption patterns in the market, resulting in an accelerating shift to e-commerce. We can see this also at Resurs where e-commerce sales have increased more than 20 per cent year-on-year, and today 40 per cent of our sales in retail finance come from e-commerce. Our offering combined with flexible financing solutions mean that we are securing many new partnerships in e-commerce.
Digital tools improve the customer experience. During the quarter, we launched a first function where we make use of Open Banking technology, which enables customers to digitally verify their income. Credit applications are quicker and easier for customers, and it makes administration simpler and the precision of our credit assessments even higher. This is only the beginning of the many opportunities that we see with Open Banking and during the year we will launch additional functionality that creates customer and partner value.
During the quarter, we also launched the Partner Success Program in retail finance which means that we are taking the development of cooperation with existing partners to a new, digital and automated level that will give us more opportunities to reach more partners more effectively. For example, we have automated the onboarding process, digitised communication and introduced knowledge sharing in the form of webinars and digital training courses.
Higher credit rating after the end of the quarter. It is gratifying that our credit rating was raised from BBB- to BBB (stable outlook) in April, based on our ability to attract new partners and an improved Nordic consumer credit market. This will mean even better financial options for us in the future.
Save the date. We are putting a first quarter behind us with a strong foothold in our continuing journey towards a more competitive, sustainable and profitable bank. We are planning to hold a Capital Market Day in Stockholm on 29 September where we will explain more about our transformation journey, our strategy and our targets for the future.

Group results*
First quarter 2021, January-March
Operating income
The Group's operating income decreased 5 per cent to SEK 850 million (897). The lower income was mainly due to the decline in Norway and Denmark, and mix effects in Payment Solutions where many of Resurs's retail finance partners managed relatively well during the pandemic, with unchanged, and in some cases higher, demand. At the same time, these partnerships involve lower margins, which negatively impacted the overall NBI margin. The stronger SEK impacted income negatively compared with the year-earlier quarter.
Net interest income decreased 13 per cent to SEK 651 million (745), interest income totalled SEK 745 million (849) and interest expense totalled SEK -94 million (-104). The decline in net interest income was mainly the result of the lower lending in Norway and Denmark and mix effects in Payment Solutions. Fee & commission income amounted to SEK 37 million (48) and fee & commission expense to SEK -18 million (-16), resulting in a total net commission for the banking operations of SEK 19 million (32). The lower net commission was due to the effects of COVID-19, attributable to lower credit card income, loan commission and lower factoring income.
In insurance operations, premium earned, net, were higher at SEK 234 million (228), while claim costs, which are recognised under insurance compensation, net, totalled SEK -57 million (-56). Fee & commission expenses in the insurance operations amounted to SEK -67 million (-54). In total, net insurance income decreased to SEK 110 million (118).
The market value of equities and bond portfolios performed positively during the quarter, which resulted in a positive outcome for net income from financial transactions of SEK 24 million (-51). Other operating income, mainly comprising remuneration from lending operations, amounted to SEK 46 million (53).
Operating expenses
The Group's expenses before credit losses declined 3 per cent to SEK -354 million (-365) due to continuing good cost control. Viewed in relation to the operations' income, the cost level (excluding Insurance) amounted to 42.4 per cent (38.5 per cent) as a result of lower operating income.
Credit losses totalled SEK -195 million (-263) and the credit loss ratio was 2.5 per cent (3.4 per cent). Excluding the extra credit provision of SEK 75 million made in the first quarter last year, the comparative figures are SEK -188 million and 2.4 per cent, respectively. The bank has not yet seen any changed payment patterns among its customers due to COVID-19, which is why credit losses for the quarter were not impacted by direct effects related to COVID-19. The risk-adjusted NBI margin totalled 7.4 per cent (7.9 per cent). In addition to the positive effect of the extra credit provision last year, the margin was negatively impacted by the lending trend in the Danish and Norwegian markets and by mix changes in Payment Solutions.
Profit
Operating profit increased 12 per cent to SEK 301 million (269). Excluding the extra credit provision last year, operating profit declined 12 per cent. Tax expense for the quarter amounted to SEK -70 million (-61). Net profit for the quarter amounted to SEK 232 million (208).

Calculations and reconciliation against information in the financial statements of these performance measures are provided on the website under "Financial reports." Definitions of performance measures are provided on the website under "Financial data."
COVID-19
An extra forward-looking credit provision of SEK 75 million was made in the first quarter of 2020 to meet potential higher credit losses, in addition to the model-based reserves, in accordance with IFRS 9. It remains difficult to assess the effects of COVID-19 on Resurs's operations. The company has not yet noted any negative trend in customers' payment patterns. We continue to believe that the risk of default could be negatively affected from the, which has been taken into consideration in the extra credit provision. Uncertainty about the future declined, but remains high as regards rising unemployment and the risk of lower solvency, but the overall assessment is that no additional credit loss reserves need to be made at present due to COVID-19.
Lockdown restrictions to reduce the infection rate of COVID-19 impacted Resurs's operations to varying extents in the Nordic countries. The Danish and Norwegian markets were more heavily affected than the Swedish and Finnish. Resurs took action at an early stage of COVID-19 to introduce temporary austerity measures in credit lending in Consumer Loans in order to ensure continued high control of the risk level, which reduced the risk in new lending in all markets, with the associated declining volumes. In addition to this, new lending in Finland was primarily negatively affected by interest limitation and direct marketing regulations that were temporarily introduced at the start of the third quarter 2020. The direct effect on the Group's earnings was mainly related to the decline in the travel industry, which in turn has negatively impacted and is expected to continue to impact credit card commission and currency exchange fees negatively, while lower factoring activity resulted in lower commissions. Overall, Insurance was only marginally impacted during the quarter, even though the segment's smallest business line of Travel was negatively affected.

Financial position on 31 March 2021*
Comparative figures for this section refer to 31 December 2020, except for cash flow for which the comparative figure refers to the same period in the preceding year.
The Group's financial position is strong and on 31 March 2021 the capital base amounted to SEK 5,362 million (5,367) in the consolidated situation, comprising the Parent Company, Resurs Holding, and the Resurs Bank Group. The total capital ratio was 17.1 per cent (17.4 per cent) and the Common Equity Tier 1 ratio was 14.8 per cent (15.1 per cent).
Due to COVID-19, the authorities decided in spring 2020 to reduce the regulatory minimum capital requirement in the countercyclical capital buffer. This entailed a total reduction of about 1.8 percentage points to 0.2 per cent for Resurs.
Lending to the public amounted to SEK 31,592 million (30,858) on 31 March 2021, representing a 2 per cent increase, and a 0.3 per cent increase excluding currency effects. The increased was 1 per cent compared with the year-earlier quarter, and 2 per cent excluding currency effects. The specification of lending on 31 March 2021 was as follows: Sweden 49 per cent, Norway 21 per cent, Denmark 13 per cent and Finland 17 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.
Deposits from the public amounted to SEK 25,581 million (24,692) on 31 March 2021. The bank has deposits in SEK, NOK and EUR. Financing through issued securities totalled SEK 6,247 million (6,297). Liquidity remained extremely healthy and the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) was 274 per cent (288 per cent) in the consolidated situation. The minimum statutory LCR is 100 per cent. Lending to credit institutions amounted to SEK 4,199 million (4,150) on 31 March 2021. Holdings of treasury and other bills eligible for refinancing, as well as bonds and other interest-bearing securities, totalled SEK 3,776 million (3,446). The Group has a high level of liquidity for meeting its future commitments.
Intangible assets amounted to SEK 1,971 million (1,895), 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 115 million (-795) for the period. Cash flow from deposits amounted to SEK 423 million (29) and the net change in investment assets totalled SEK -317 million (-858). Cash flow from investing activities for the year totalled SEK -13 million (-29) and cash flow from financing activities was SEK -54 million (120).

Digital tools improve customer journeys
First quarter 2021, January-March
The coronavirus pandemic continued to impact the quarter, primarily in the form of lockdown in Denmark and Norway, which had a negative effect on retail. Resurs's breadth of partners from several different industries provided important resilience and a strong ability to offset industries with falling demand with other industries where demand remained intact. Many larger retail finance partners managed well with unchanged, or in some cases higher, demand, which is positive. At the same time, these partnerships involve lower margins, which negatively impacted the overall NBI margin.
Supreme Card remains challenged by the decline in travel and restaurant visits. The launch of new functions, such as paying bills and flex accounts, and communication campaigns concerning DIY and being a tourist in your home country, are increasing use of the cards.
The partnership with Gekås Ullared was launched during the quarter with widespread interest in Resurs's offering. Part of the launch involved producing a unique digital checkout solution in the physical store that makes it easier for customers to shop at the store and order home delivery for their purchases.
Much of Resurs's success largely derives from the development of collaborations with existing partners whereby Resurs helps its partners to drive sales and increase credit penetration using simple, secure and flexible payment solutions for customers. Resurs launched the Partner Success Program during the quarter, which will take the development of cooperation with existing partners to a new digital level. From now on, Resurs will be able to be more present, helpful and quick in its interaction with its partners. The onboarding process will be automated, communication digitised, and knowledge will be shared in the form of webinars and digital and automated training courses. In other words, the programme offers more opportunities to reach more partners more effectively.
Improvements to the customer journey continued during the quarter, for example, by integrating Resurs's payment method into a number of different business systems. Based on this integration, Resurs's payment options are directly available in its partners' checkout systems, making the shopping experience simpler for both store personnel and private customers.
Lending to the public on 31 March 2021 declined 3 per cent to SEK 10,863 million (11,148), and in constant currencies lending declined 1 per cent year-on-year. The downturn in lending was due to the declining trend in Norway and Denmark. Operating income amounted to SEK 313 million (378), down 17 per cent compared with the year-earlier quarter. The lower earnings were attributable mainly to the negative performance in Norway and Denmark, and to mix effects with larger partners growing quicker due to the pandemic. Operating income less credit losses amounted to SEK 281 million (301). The risk-adjusted NBI margin fell to 10.3 per cent (10.7 per cent), although the decline in the NBI margin could be offset by lower credit losses due to the extra credit provision made in the first quarter of 2020 for expected COVID-19 effects.

Consumer Loans
Launch of Open Banking technology for increased customer value
First quarter 2021, January-March
Overall, demand for consumer loans was stable in all Nordic countries, except for Finland, which was negatively affected by the temporary marketing rules that apply until 30 September 2021. The measures to make credit assessments more restrictive that were introduced at the start of the pandemic remain in place and had a slightly negative impact on growth.
New lending in the Danish market performed negatively in the quarter due to the lockdown to reduce infection rates. One of the activities to mitigate the negative trend is that at the end of the quarter Resurs launched the option of consolidating loans that customers have with other banks in order to reduce their monthly payments and/or interest expense. This is in line with Resurs's approach to sustainable credit lending with the aim of ensuring that customers do not borrow more than their personal financial situation permits. The option of consolidating loans is already available in the other Nordic markets and is now being offered in Denmark. It is expected to have a positive effect on the Danish market going forward.
The Norwegian market remained challenging due to new legal requirements introduced in 2019, but the positive trend in new lending since the last quarter continued. However, Resurs was negatively impacted by a higher share of customers ending their loans in advance. Resurs is working in different ways to handle this, for example, by using predictive data models that make it possible to predict which customers will end their loans in advance.
The financial services landscape is changing in line with digitisation and Open Banking is part of the ongoing shift in the financial sector from closed to open business models. Open Banking presents many opportunities for Resurs to offer greater value for customers. During the quarter, the segment launched income verifications in the Swedish market, which is the first function to make use of Open Banking technology. This will result in an easier customer journey, simplified and automated administration for Resurs and higher precision in credit assessments. Income verification is scheduled to be rolled out in the entire Nordic market during the year. This is the first of many attractive opportunities with Open Banking and additional functionality that creates high customer value will be launched during the year.
Lending to the public on 31 March 2021 increased 4 per cent to SEK 20,728 million (19,999), a 4 per cent increase in constant currencies. The highest increase in growth both in per cent and in absolute terms was from the Swedish and Finnish markets. Operating income declined 8 per cent in the quarter to SEK 463 million (505) due to the negative performance in Denmark and Norway. Operating income less credit losses fell 6 per cent to SEK 299 million (319), and the risk-adjusted NBI margin was 5.9 per cent (6.4 per cent). Credit losses for the quarter declined both in absolute terms and as a percentage of lending, which was mainly the result of the extra credit provision made in 2020 for expected COVID-19 effects.

Insurance
Insurance started the year with strong operating profit and growth in premium earned.
First quarter 2021, January-March
Insurance stated the year on a strong note with new partnerships signed and launched. For example, the partnership with Sport Holding AS was expanded to include another chain concept, Intersport, which has about 100 stores in the Norwegian market. The launch is scheduled for the second quarter of 2021. Intersport decided to work together with Solid due to a strong value-based offering and Solid's extensive experience in the market.
The launch of Elon, which was signed in the fourth quarter, was completed during the quarter. A collaboration with an existing partner in the Motor business line is also being developed and will be ready for launch in future quarters. The strong growth in Insurance's car guarantee products continued during the quarter due to attractive market offerings in the second-hand market.
The segment is continuing to increase its digital presence. Preparations for the launch of another payment method in the Norwegian market were made in the quarter, which will enhance Solid's administration efficiency and make the customer journey simpler.
Premium earned, net, increased 3 per cent compared with the year-earlier period to SEK 235 million (229). This increase was primarily due to the Motor business line, which was positively affected by the trend in the second-hand market, and the Product business line.
Operating income for the quarter rose to SEK 78 million (17). The positive trend in the capital market in the first few months of the year resulted in higher market values in the investment portfolios and the outcome of net income from financial transactions was SEK 21 million (-40). Income related to non-life insurance operations was in line with the preceding year.
The technical result increased 1 per cent to SEK 29.9 million (29.5) compared with the yearearlier quarter. Operating profit increased sharply to SEK 52 million (-9) compared with the year-earlier quarter, which was attributable to the outcome of net income from financial transactions. Operating expenses were in line with the preceding year at SEK 26 million (26). The combined ratio was 87.9 per cent (87.7 per cent).

Other information
Risk and capital management
The Group's ability to manage risks and conduct effective capital planning is fundamental to its profitability. The business faces various forms of risk including credit risks, market risks, liquidity risks and operational risks. The Board has established operational policies with the aim of balancing the Group's risk taking, and to limit and control risks. All policies are updated as necessary and revised at least once annually. The Board and CEO are ultimately responsible for risk management. In general, there were no significant changes regarding risk and capital management during the period. The Group's risk management capabilities were affected to a certain extent during the pandemic but the impact was limited due to robust processes. The Group managed the risk of a loss of personnel in critical functions by introducing different zones and remote working. More employees working from home set higher requirements on information security and following up the bank's control framework. A more detailed description of the bank's risks, liquidity and capital management is presented in Note G3 and Note G4 Capital Adequacy in the most recent annual report.

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 2021, have had any material impact on the Group.
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.
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 25.582 million (24,694), whereof in Sweden SEK 11,579 million (11,535), in Norway SEK 7,005 million (6,441) and in Germany SEK 6.998 million (6,718). The lending to the public/deposits from the public ratio for the consolidated situation is 123 per cent (125 per cent).
Resurs Bank has a funding programme for issuing bonds, the programme amounts to SEK 9,000 million (9,000). Within the programme, Resurs Bank has been working successfully to issue bonds on a regular basis and sees itself as an established issuer on the market. At 31 March 2021 the program has nine outstanding issues at a nominal amount of SEK 4,850 million (4,900). Of the nine issues, seven are senior unsecured bonds and two issues are a subordinated loan of SEK 600 million (600). Resurs Bank has, outside the programme issued subordinated loan of SEK 200 million (200). Resurs Holding issued Additional Tier 1 Capital of a nominal SEK 300 million (300).
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 1,400 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.
For detailed accounting principles for the Group, see the Annual report for 2020.
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 2-31 comprises an integrated component of this financial report.
In September 2020, Resurs Bank received an update from the rating company Nordic Credit Rating (NCR). Resurs Bank's credit rating of BBB- was confirmed and the outlook was revised to stable from negative as Resurs Bank outperformed NCR's expectations due to lower credit losses and an improved net interest margin in the second quarter 2020. 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 December 2020 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 March 2021 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 1,895 million (1,860), 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 5,523 million (5,127) for the consolidated situation. Accordingly, total liquidity amounted to SEK 7.419 million (6,986) corresponds to 29 per cent (28 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 March 2021, the ratio for the consolidated situation is 274 per cent (288 per cent). For the period January to March 2021, the avarage LCR measures 272 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 riskweighted assets. The countercyclical capital buffer requirement is weighted according to geographical requirements and after being lowered by the supervisory authorities in spring 2020 amounted to 0.2 per cent. Only Norwegian exposures have a buffer requirement remaining, which is currently 1.0 per cent of risk-weighted Norwegian assets.
The consolidated situation calculates the capital requirement for credit risk, credit valuation 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 standardised method. Under this method, the capital requirement for operational risks is 12 per cent of the income indicator (meaning average operating income for the past three years). 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.

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 consolidated situation currently only has a reporting requirement to the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority, but will have a quantitative requirement of 3 per cent when the updates to CRR come into effect.

Level 3
Determination of fair value of financial instruments
Level 1 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.
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. Fair value has been classified as level 2.
The carrying amount of current receivables and liabilities and variable rate loans is deemed to reflect fair value.
Transfer between levels
There has not been any transfer of financial instruments between the levels.
Financial assets and liabilities that are offset or subject to netting agreements
