KEY FIGURES

Income statement items are compared on a year-on-year basis and comparison figures for balance sheet items are from 31 December 2012 unless otherwise stated.

Due to the adoption of the revised accounting standard IAS 19 on Employee benefits, the comparison figures for 2012 have been restated and differ from the earlier published figures. The changes concern directly the P&C insurance segment but are consequently reflected in the consolidated items as well.

The average EUR-SEK exchange rate used for income statement items is 8.6522 and the year-end exchange rate used for balance sheet items is 8.8591. For 2012 the corresponding exchange rates used were 8.7040 and 8.5820, respectively.

FOURTH QUARTER 2013 IN BRIEF

Sampo Group's fourth quarter 2013 profit before taxes amounted to EUR 440 million (439). Earnings per share amounted to EUR 0.71 (0.71). Mark-to-market earnings per share decreased to EUR 0.56 (0.83) largely as a result of currency movements and changes in pension liabilities. Net asset value per share increased EUR 1.62 to EUR 22.15 during the fourth quarter of 2013.

The combined ratio in the P&C insurance operation in the fourth quarter amounted to 87.9 per cent (89.1). Profit before taxes rose to EUR 230 million (205). Share of the profits of the associated company Topdanmark amounted to EUR 10 million (14).

Results

The following text is based on Nordea's full-year 2013 result release published on 29 January 2014.

Total income was down 1 per cent compared to last year and operating profit was up 2 per cent compared to the last year. Risk-adjusted profit increased by 1 per cent compared to the preceding year. The effect from currency fluctuations was a reducing effect of 1 percentage point on income and on expenses and approximately -3 percentage points on loan and deposit volumes compared to one year ago.

Net interest income decreased 1 per cent compared to last year. Lending volumes were unchanged excluding reversed repurchase agreements in local currencies. Corporate and household lending margins were higher, while deposit margins overall were down from 2012.

Net fee and commission income increased 7 per cent and the net result from items at fair value decreased by 13 per cent compared to last year.

Total expenses were largely unchanged compared to 2012 in local currencies when excluding performance-related salaries and profit sharing. For the 13th consecutive quarter, costs have been kept flat. Staff costs were also largely unchanged in local currencies when excluding performancerelated salaries and profit sharing.

Net loan loss provisions decreased to EUR 735 million for the continuing operations, corresponding to a loan loss ratio of 21 basis points (26 basis points in 2012).

Net profit for the continuing operations increased 1 per cent to EUR 3,107 million. Net profit for the total operations was largely unchanged at EUR 3,116 million. Risk-adjusted profit increased 1 per cent from last year.

The core tier 1 ratio, excluding transition rules, has improved by 1.8 percentage point to 14.9 per cent ratio. Excluding the increased dividend payout ratio, the strengthening of the core tier 1 capital ratio would have been 0.8 percentage points. The tier 1 capital ratio excluding transition rules increased 0.4 percentage point to 15.7 per cent. The total capital ratio excluding transition rules increased 0.6 percentage point to 18.1 per cent. The increase in core tier 1 capital ratio has been achieved by RWA efficiency initiatives and strong profit generation during the quarter.

Since Nordea foresees in the coming years a lower loan demand, lower customer activity and lower interest rates than previously expected it will increase the focus on cost efficiency. In the fourth quarter 2012 report Nordea launched efficiency initiatives with an effect of EUR 450 million during 2013 to 2015. Nordea sees many of these initiatives delivering better than expected and in addition it will also accelerate the efficiency programme. Thus, the ambition has been raised from EUR 450 million towards a level of EUR 900 million during 2013 to 2015, of which EUR 210 million has already been achieved. Part of this will be offset by reinvestments, but net Nordea expects to have a 5 per cent lower cost base in 2015 compared to 2013. This will be possible by reducing activity related expenses, adjusting distribution to meet changed customer behaviour, increasing the Product and IT platform efficiency, optimising processes and reducing cost in central functions, including downscaling the internal service levels.

was 27.6 per cent (27.7). Total technical reserves of Mandatum Life Group increased to EUR 8.5 billion (7.9).

In addition, EUR 71 million has been reserved to lower the interest rate of all with profit liabilities to 2.25 per cent in 2014 and to 2.75 per cent in 2015.

The various measures introduced during the last few quarters to improve the cost efficiency are beginning to show, and together with growing fee income, the expense result for life insurance segment increased to EUR 14 million (6). Risk result was excellent at EUR 24 million (19) in 2013. The expense result is expected to further improve during 2014 due to increased unit-linked savings and efficiency measures.

Mandatum Life Group's premium income on own account increased 10 per cent to EUR 1,063 million (977). Increase in the sales through the Danske Bank distribution channel and own channels explained the positive development. Premiums in the main focus area of unit-linked insurance increased to a new record of EUR 909 million (810). Premium income from the Baltic countries was EUR 32 million (33).

Despite high premium income, Mandatum Life's unit-linked market share in Finland decreased to 19.3 per cent (26.2) due to the strong growth in overall life insurance premium income in Finland. Mandatum Life's overall market share in Finland decreased to 19.2 per cent (24.5). Market share in the Baltic countries decreased to 10 per cent (11).

As at 31 December 2013, Sampo plc had 560,000,000 shares, which were divided into 558,800,000 A shares and 1,200,000 B shares. Total number of votes attached to the shares is 564,800,000.

The Annual General Meeting of 2013 authorized the Board to acquire in one or several lots a maximum of 50,000,000 Sampo A shares.

The share price will be no higher than the highest price paid for Sampo shares in public trading at the time of purchase. The authorization is valid until the close of the next Annual General Meeting, nevertheless not more than 18 months after AGM's decision.

Sampo plc made no repurchases during 2013 and has not purchased its own shares after the end of the reporting period.

Internal dividends

Sampo Group's parent company Sampo plc received almost EUR 900 million in dividends from its subsidiaries and associated company Nordea Bank AB during 2013. The following dividend payments were received during 2013:

  • 26 March 2013; Nordea Bank AB; EUR 293 million;

Group solvency

Nordea Bank AB (publ) has been Sampo plc's associated company since 31 December 2009. Under the Act on the Supervision of Financial and Insurance Conglomerates (2004/699), Sampo Group is therefore treated as a financial and insurance conglomerate.

Group solvency has in 2013 been calculated according to Chapter 3 of the Act on the Supervision of Financial and Insurance Conglomerates (2004/699). The Act is based on Directive 2002/87/ EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the supplementary supervision of credit institutions, insurance undertakings and investment.

Sampo Group solvency

Group capital 10,643 10,020
Sectoral items 1,274 1,285
Intangibles and other deductibles -3,319 -3,160

Group solvency 3,935 3,379
Group solvency ratio
(Own funds % of minimum requirements) 184.4 170.9

Group solvency ratio (own funds in relation to minimum requirements for own funds) increased during 2013 and amounted to 184.4 per cent (170.9) as at 31 December 2013. The improvement was due to Sampo Group's strong profit generation. Changes in other items were relatively small, except for the increased dividend assumption.

In addition to the aforementioned conglomerate solvency considerations, Sampo Group's solvency is assessed internally by comparing the capital required to the capital available. Capital requirement assessment is based on an economic capital framework, in which Group companies quantify the amount of capital required for measurable risks over a one year time horizon at 99.5 per cent's confidence level. In addition to economic capital, companies assess their capital need related to non-measurable risks.

Capital available or Adjusted Solvency Capital include regulatory capital and in addition other loss absorbing items like the effect of discounting technical reserves and other reserves currently excluded from regulatory capital.

The economic capital tied up in Group's operations on 31 December 2013 was EUR 5,361 million (4,560) and adjusted solvency capital was EUR 9,417 million (8,197).

Debt financing

Sampo plc's debt financing on 31 December 2013 amounted to EUR 2,027 million (2,162) and interest bearing assets to EUR 980 million (1,048). Interest bearing assets include bank accounts, money market instruments and EUR 350 million of hybrid capital issued by the subsidiaries and associates. During 2013 the net debt decreased EUR 65 million to EUR 1,048 million (1,113). Gross debt to Sampo plc's equity was 29 per cent (32).

As at 31 December 2013 financial liabilities in Sampo plc's balance sheet consisted of issued senior bonds and notes of EUR 1,720 million (1,710) and EUR 308 million (451) of outstanding CPs issued. The average interest on Sampo plc's debt as of 31 December 2013 was 2.26 per cent (2.33).

To balance the risks on the Group level Sampo plc's debt is tied to short-term interest rates and issued in euro or Swedish krona. Interest rate swaps are currently used to obtain the desired characteristics for the debt portfolio. These derivatives are valued at fair value in the profit and loss account although economically they are related to the underlying bonds. As a result Sampo plc maintains the flexibility to adjust derivative position if needed but this comes at the cost of increased volatility in the Holding segment's net finance costs.

The underlying objective of Sampo plc is to maintain a well-diversified debt structure, relatively low leverage and strong liquidity in order for the company to be able to arrange financing for strategic projects if needed. Strong liquidity and the ability to acquire financing are essential factors in maintaining Sampo Group's strategic flexibility.

More information on Sampo Group's outstanding debt issues is available at www.sampo.com/ debtfinancing.

OUTLOOK

Outlook for 2014

Sampo Group's business areas are expected to report good operating results for 2014. However, the mark-to-market results are, particularly in life insurance, highly dependent on capital market developments. The continuing low interest rate level also creates a challenging environment for reinvestment in fixed income instruments.

The P&C insurance operations are expected to reach their long-term combined ratio target of below 95 per cent in 2014 by a margin. Nordea's contribution to the Group's profit is expected to be significant.

The major risks and uncertainties to the Group in the near-term

In its day-to-day business activities Sampo Group is exposed to various risks and uncertainties which it identifies and assesses regularly.

Major risks affecting the Group's profitability and its variation are market, credit and insurance risks that can be quantified by financial measurement techniques. Currently their quantified contributions to the Group's Economic Capital – used as an internal basis for capital needs – represent normal levels of 34 per cent, 45 per cent and 11 per cent, respectively.

Uncertainties in the form of major unforeseen events or structural changes in the business environment may have an immediate impact on the Group's profitability or long-term impact on how business shall be conducted. Identification of uncertainties is easier than estimation of their probabilities, timing and potential outcomes.

DIVIDEND PROPOSAL

According to Sampo plc's dividend policy, total annual dividends paid shall be at least 50 per cent of Group's net profit for the year (excluding extraordinary items). In addition, share buy-backs can be used to complement the cash dividend.

The parent company's distributable capital and reserves totaled EUR 6,775,182,609.93, of which profit for the financial year was EUR 829,380,952.52.

The Board proposes to the Annual General Meeting a dividend of EUR 1.65 per share to company's 560,000,000 shares. The dividends to be paid are EUR 924,000,000.00 in total. Rest of funds are left in the equity capital.

The dividend will be paid to shareholders registered in the Register of Shareholders held by Euroclear Finland Ltd as at the record date of 29 April 2014. The Board proposes that the dividend be paid on 7 May 2014.

No significant changes have taken place in the company's financial position since the end of the financial year. The company's liquidity position is good and in the view of the Board, the proposed distribution does not jeopardize the company's ability to fulfill its obligations.

¹) The Group solvency is calculated according to the consolidation method defined in Chapter 3 of the Act on the Supervision of Financial and Insurance Conglomerates (2004/699).

²) The key figures for P&C Insurance are based on activity based costs and cannot, therefore, be calculated directly from the consolidated income statement. The result analysis of P&C insurance is presented in note 13.

The number of shares used at the balance sheet date and as the average number during the financial period was 560,000,000.

The valuation differences on investment property have been taken into account in calculating the return on assets, return on equity, equity/ assets ratio and net asset value per share. The tax component includes the tax corresponding to the result for the period, and the deferred tax liability related to valuation differences on investment property.

The total comprehensive income has been used in the calculation of the return on assets and return on equity.

The key figures for the insurance business have been calculated in accordance with the decree issued by the Ministry of Finance and the specifying regulations and instructions of the Finance Supervisory Authority.

The cash flow statement reports cash flows during the period classified by operating, investing and financing activities. Cash flows from operating activities derive primarily from the principal revenue-producing activities. Cash flows from investments in subsidiaries and associ- ated undertakings and those from investments in intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are presented in investing activities. Financing activities include cash flows resulting from changes in equity and borrowings in order to conduct the business. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits (under 3 months).

Notes

Accounting policies

Sampo Group's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted by the EU. The interim financial statements are presented in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. In preparing the interim financial statements, the same accounting policies and methods of computation are applied as in the financial statements for 2012.

Sampo adopted new or revised standards and interpretations at the beginning of the year 2013. These standards and interpretations are explained in Sampos accounting policies for the financial year 2012. The financial statements are available on Sampo's website at www.sampo.com/ annualreport.

One of the adopted changes was in IAS 19 Employee Benefits that amends all actuarial gains and losses be recognised immediately in other comprehensive income, thus the so-called corridor method is eliminated and the benefit cost is determined based on the net funding. As a result of the change, the employee benefit liability for the comparison year was increased by EURm 127 and the related deferred tax asset by EURm 34. The net effect on the equity was EURm 93.

8 Determination and hierarchy of fair values >

A large majority of Sampo Group's financial assets are valued at fair value. The valuation is based on either published price quatations or valuation techniques based on market observable inputs, where available. For a limited amount of assets the value needs to be determined using other techniques.

The financial instruments measured at fair value have been classified into three hierarchy levels in the notes, depending on e.g. if the market for the instrument is active, or if the inputs used in the valuation technique are observable.

On level 1, the measurement of the instrument is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

On level 2, inputs for the measurement of the instrument include also other than quoted prices observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly by using valuation techniques.

In level 3, the measurement is based on other inputs rather than observable market data.

Sensitivity analysis of fair values

The sensitivity of financial assets and liabilites to changes in exchange rates is assessed on business area level due to different base currencies. In P&C insurance, 10 percentage point depreciation of all other currencies against SEK would result in an effect recognised in profit/loss of EURm 12 (15) and in an effect recognised directly in equity of EURm 11 (11). In Life insurance, 10 percentage point depreciation of all other currencies against EUR would result in an effect recognised in profit/loss of EURm 14 (52) and in an effect recognised directly in equity of EURm 68 (64). In Holding, 10 percentage point depreciation of all other currencies against EUR would have no impact in profit/loss, but an effect recognised in equity of EURm 15 (3).

The sensitivity analysis of the Group's fair values of financial assets and liabilities in differenct market risk scenarios is presented below. The effects represent the instantaneous effects of a one-off change in the underlying market variable on the fair values on 31 December 2013.

The sensitivity analysis includes the effects of derivative positions. All sensitivities are calculated before taxes.

The debt issued by Sampo plc is not included.

The value of financial assets regarding the debt security instruments has been tested by assuming a rise of 1 per cent unit in interest rate level in all maturities. For other financial assets, the prices were assumed to go down by 20 per cent. Sampo Group bears no investment risks related to unit-linked insurance, so a change in assumptions regarding these assets does not affect profit or loss. On the basis of the these alternative assumptions, a possible change in interest levels at 31 December 2013 would cause descend of EURm 2 (3) for the debt instruments, and EURm 161 (177) valuation loss for other instruments in the Group's other comprehensive income. The reasonably possible effect, proportionate to the Group's equity, would thus be 1.5 (1.8 ) per cent .
