The release from the Swedish MTPL reserves in the first quarter of 2016 affected the full-year 2016 result positively while the comparison figures for the Finnish business are burdened by the change in the Finnish discount rate in the second quarter of 2015.

The following text is based on Nordea's full-year 2016 result release published on 26 January 2017.

2016 has probably been the most eventful year in the history of Nordea. On top of macro and regulatory challenges for the sector, Nordea has addressed significant media attention and started to implement a profound transformational change agenda. Two major achievement have been the creation of a new legal structure and launching a term deposit product on the new core banking platform. Despite a challenging revenue situation in 2016, Nordea has throughout the year improved its net interest margin; for 2016, the inflow to Assets under Management reached an all-time high, and Nordea has confirmed its leading Nordic position in corporate advisory operations.

Total income was down 1 per cent in local currencies (-2 per cent in EUR) from the prior year and operating profit was down 8 per cent in local currencies (-9 per cent in EUR) from the prior year excluding non-recurring items.

Net interest income was down 3 per cent in local currencies (-5 per cent in EUR) from 2015. Average lending and deposit volumes in business areas in local currencies were unchanged from financial year 2015.

Lending margins were up 2 bps and deposit margins were up 6 bps compared to financial year 2015. Net fee and commission income increased 1 per cent in local currencies (unchanged in EUR) from the previous year.

Net result from items at fair value increased 4 per cent in local currencies (4 per cent in EUR) from 2015.

Cost performance and credit quality are in line with Nordea's guidance. Total expenses were up 5 per cent in local currencies (4 per cent in EUR) from the previous year excluding nonrecurring items and amounted to EUR 4,886 million. Staff costs were down 1 per cent in local currencies excluding non-recurring items. The cost/income ratio increased to 50 per cent from 47 per cent.

Net loan loss provisions increased to EUR 502 million, corresponding to a loan loss ratio of 15 bps (14 bps for full-year 2015).

Net profit increased 4 per cent in local currencies (3 per cent in EUR) to EUR 3,766 million.

Currency fluctuations had a reducing effect of 1 per cent on income and expenses and a reducing effect 1 per cent on loan and deposit volumes compared to a year ago.

Nordea Group's Basel III Common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio increased to 18.4 per cent at the end of the fourth quarter 2016 compared to 17.9 per cent at the end of the third quarter 2016. REA decreased EUR 3.0 billion, mainly driven by reduced average risk weight in the corporate portfolio and reduced capital exposures in the CCR portfolio, while CET1 capital increased EUR 0.1 billion driven by continued strong profit generation net dividend and increase in intangible assets.

On 18 December Finansinspektionen stated that the authority have reached an agreement with the Nordic supervisory authorities and European Central Bank on how to supervise significant branches in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. On 2 January, cross-border mergers between Nordea Bank AB (publ) and its subsidiary banks in Denmark, Finland and Norway were executed. Consequently, all assets and liabilities of the subsidiary banks have been transferred to Nordea Bank AB (publ), and each of Nordea Bank Danmark A/S, Nordea Bank Finland Plc and Nordea Bank Norge ASA has been dissolved. The banking business in Denmark, Finland and Norway will be conducted in branches of Nordea Bank AB (publ).

Holding segment's profit before taxes amounted to EUR 778 million (749), of which EUR 773 million (751) relates to Sampo's share of Nordea's 2016 profit. Segment's profit excluding Nordea was EUR 6 million (-1).

The currency effects, particularly strengthening of Swedish krona, increased the investment income by EUR 25 million. The drop in the finance costs is due to lower interest rates and movements in SEK-EUR rates.

Sampo plc's holding in Nordea Bank was booked in the consolidated balance sheet at EUR 7.6 billion. The market value of the holding was EUR 9.1 billion, i.e. EUR 10.60 per share, at 31 December 2016. In addition the assets on Sampo plc's balance sheet included holdings in subsidiaries for EUR 2.4 billion (2.4).

Changes in Group structure

Mandatory offer on Topdanmark shares

Sampo plc announced on 7 September 2016 the obligation to make a mandatory offer to the shareholders of Topdanmark A/S. In the mandatory offer, Sampo offered to acquire all outstanding shares, excluding treasury shares, and other financial instruments, warrants and share options, if applicable, issued by Topdanmark and shares held by Topdanmark shareholders resident in certain restricted jurisdictions. The cash price offered in the mandatory offer was DKK 183 for each share issued by Topdanmark. The offer period commenced on 27 September 2016 and expired on 25 October 2016. As a result of the offer, Sampo plc acquired altogether 7,374,306 Topdanmark shares and held 41.1 per cent of all Topdanmark shares on 26 October 2016.

The mandatory offer was made pursuant to the Danish Takeover Order (no. 562 of 2 June 2014) Section 2(1). The obligation to make the Mandatory Offer arose as a result of Sampo in the period from 6 September 2016 until 7 September having acquired 200,000 Topdanmark shares in the market with the highest purchase price being DKK 183 and thereby crossing the applicable Danish threshold of one third of the total outstanding voting rights of Topdanmark. In connection herewith, Sampo also acquired 31,476,920 Topdanmark shares at a price of DKK 183 per share, representing approximately 33.13 per cent of the entire issued share capital and of all voting rights of Topdanmark (including treasury shares), from its wholly owned subsidiary If P&C Insurance Holding Ltd. Following Sampo's acquisition of If's shareholding in Topdanmark, If P&C no longer holds any shares in Topdanmark.

Sampo plc's share of Topdanmark's profit will continue to be shown in the P&C insurance segment although Topdanmark is Sampo plc's associate going forward. On 1 February 2017 Sampo plc held 39,579,226 Topdanmark shares corresponding to 41.7 per cent of all shares and 45.7 per cent of votes.

Mandatum Life's agency agreement with Danske Bank

In connection with the acquisition of Sampo's banking operations by Danske Bank A/S in early 2007, Sampo Bank plc (now Danske Bank Plc), and Sampo Life Insurance Company Ltd (now Mandatum Life Insurance Company Ltd) signed an agency agreement that guaranteed Sampo Life the exclusive right to sell life and pension insurance products through Sampo Bank's branch network in Finland.

Mandatum Life decided on 20 October 2016 not to prolong the agency agreement as of 31 December 2016. In relation to the agency agreement Mandatum Life has the right to sell the insurance portfolio sold through Danske Bank's branch network in Finland, to Danske Bank. Mandatum Life decided on 27 October 2016 to use this option.

The valuation of the portfolio will be conducted by a third party in accordance with the terms and conditions of the bank transaction agreement referred to above. The valuation is estimated to take until the summer of 2017 and the transfer of the portfolio is estimated to take place during the fourth quarter of 2017 at the earliest. The transfer is subject to regulatory approvals.

Changes in group structure

The portfolio consists of more than 150,000 policies and the technical reserves related to the portfolio amounted to EUR 3,202 million at the end of 2016. The portfolio contains almost exclusively unit linked and loan insurance products. The amount of with profit technical reserves is EUR 210 million. The portfolio is treated as Assets held for sale in the balance sheet for 2016.

Other developments

Personnel

The average number of Sampo Group's employees (FTE) in 2016 amounted to 6,780 (6,755). P&C insurance is Sampo Group's largest business area and employed 91 per cent of the personnel. Life insurance had approximately 8 per cent of the work force and the parent company Sampo plc 1 per cent.

In geographical terms Finland had 32 per cent of the personnel, Sweden 27 per cent and Norway 20 per cent. The share of other countries was 21 per cent.

During 2016, the number of staff in P&C insurance remained stable. The number of employees decreased in Finland and Norway and increased in Sweden and Baltic countries. As of 31 December 2016 P&C insurance employed 6,200 persons.

The total number of staff in life insurance increased nearly 3 per cent driven by staff growth in Finland and Estonia. Life insurance operations employed 542 persons at the end of 2016. As of 31 December 2016, the total number of staff in Sampo Group totaled 6,780 persons.

In 2016 EUR 37 million (34), including social costs, was paid on the basis of the long-term incentive schemes. EUR 38 million (33), including social costs, was paid as short-term incentives during the same period. The outcome of the long-term incentive schemes is determined by Sampo's share price development over a period of three to five years starting from the issue of the respective scheme. The programs are subject to thresholds on share price development and company profitability, as well as caps for maximum payout. Furthermore, the programs are subject to rules requiring part of the paid incentive reward to be used to acquire Sampo A shares, which must in turn be held for a specified period of time. The result impact of the longterm incentive schemes in force in 2016 was EUR 15 million (33). The terms of the long-term incentive schemes are available at www.sampo.com/incentiveterms.

Sampo Group will also publish a Remuneration Statement in March 2017. The Remuneration Statement has been prepared in accordance with the Corporate Governance Code issued by the Securities Market Association and effective as of 1 January 2016. The Statement will be available at www.sampo.com/remuneration.

Shares and share capital

When Sampo plc's shares were incorporated to the book-entry system in September 1997 shareholders were obliged to provide the share certificates and request registration of the shares into their book-entry accounts during the registration period set in the General Meeting's resolution to incorporate the shares into the book-entry system. A joint book-entry account in the name of the Company was opened for those shareholders who did not request the registration of their shares.

According to the Finnish Companies Act the Annual General Meeting may after 1 September 2016 resolve that the shares in the joint book-entry account and the rights that those shares carry have been forfeited. After the General Meeting's resolution the provisions on treasury shares apply to forfeited shares and the Board may, for example, resolve on cancellation of treasury shares. As this will be the first time the Annual General Meeting has an option to resolve the issue, the Audit Committee initiated a project to look into the procedure and consequences of such a

resolution by the Annual General Meeting with a particular view on the equal treatment of all shareholders.

Sampo plc has received two proposals regarding the forfeiture of the rights of the shares in the joint book-entry account from shareholders. First a shareholder has proposed that the Annual General Meeting resolves, within the meaning of Chapter 4, Section 10(2) of the Finnish Companies Act, that the rights to shares in the book-entry system and the rights carried by the shares will be forfeited with regard to the shares in the joint book-entry account. On the basis of the proposal, the company's Board of Directors should cancel the treasury shares to be held by the company as a result of such forfeiture. In its meeting of 8 February 2017, Sampo plc's Board of Directors has resolved to concur with this proposal.

According to Board's proposal this would apply to shares remaining in the joint book-entry account, for which no claim for registration into the book-entry system has been made before the General Meeting's decision on 27 April 2017 at 2pm.

Another shareholder of the company has proposed to the General Meeting that if a proposal on the forfeiture of shareholder rights within the meaning of Chapter 4, Section 10(2) of the Finnish Companies Act has been submitted to the General Meeting for resolution, the General Meeting would resolve that said decision could be made at the earliest on 1 February 2020 and provided that the company has actively sought to reach out to all shareholders of the company who have not transferred their holdings into the book-entry system.

Given that future General Meetings are not bound by the resolutions of previous General Meetings, the second proposal is, in practice, a motion to dismiss the first mentioned proposal concerning the forfeiture of the shares in the joint book-entry account.

Proposals will be published in full later today and will be available at www.sampo.com/agm.

Sampo plc has actively pursued to locate the holders of the shares in the joint book-entry account. Sampo has sent on 3 November 2016 a letter to 75,000 private persons, who had been registered as holders in the shareholder register dated 12 September 1997. The letter and widespread media attention following it has led to approximately hundred thousand contacts with potential shareholders.

The measures adopted have been successful. The number of shares in the joint book-entry account has decreased between 1 November 2016 and 6 February 2017 by 472,380 shares and on 6 February 2017 there were 6,436,120 shares in the account corresponding to 1.15 per cent of all shares.

Internal dividends

Sampo plc, Sampo Group's parent company, received EUR 1,555 million in dividends from its subsidiaries and associated company Nordea Bank AB during 2016. The following dividend payments were received:

  • Mandatum Life; EUR 125 million in March 2016,
  • Nordea Bank AB; EUR 551 million in March 2016 and
  • If P&C; SEK 5.8 billion (EUR 586 million) in December 2016. In addition If P&C paid an extra SEK 2.8 billion (EUR 293 million) dividend to Sampo plc in September 2016.

On 26 January 2017 Nordea Bank AB's Board of Directors proposed to the Annual General meeting to be held on 16 March 2017, a dividend of EUR 0.65 per share. With its current holding Sampo plc's share amounts to EUR 559 million. The dividend is proposed to be paid on 27 March 2017.

A dividend of EUR 125 million is planned to be paid by Mandatum Life during the first quarter of 2017. If P&C normally pays its dividend towards the end of the calendar year.

Ratings

On 20 April 2016 S&P strengthened If P&C's ratings to A+ with a stable outlook. At the same time S&P initiated Sampo plc's rating with A- and a stable outlook.

On 15 December 2016 Moody's upgraded the insurance financial strength ratings of If P&C to A1 from A2 with stable outlooks. In the same rating action, Moody's has upgraded the senior debt rating of Sampo plc to Baa1 from Baa2. Moody's has also (unsolicited) assigned a Baa2(hyb) rating to the dated subordinated notes issued in November 2016 by If P&C Insurance Holding Ltd.

The table below illustrates all the ratings of Sampo Group companies at the end of December 2016.

Rated company Moody's Standard & Poor's
Rating Outlook Rating Outlook
Sampo plc Baa1 Stable A- Stable
If P&C Insurance Ltd (Sweden) A1 Stable A+ Stable
If P&C Insurance Company Ltd (Finland) A1 Stable A+ Stable

Solvency

As of 1 January 2016 insurance subgroups If P&C and Mandatum Life have applied Solvency II rules in their regulatory solvency calculations. Both companies report in accordance with standard formula for Solvency II.

For If P&C the standard formula has roughly a EUR 350 million higher capital requirement than the model used for internal purposes. However, If P&C Group has an A rating from S&P which will continue to require significantly more capital and therefore the use of standard formula has no practical implications on If P&C Group's capital position. On 31 December 2016 If P&C Group's Solvency II capital requirement under standard formula amounted to EUR 1,942 million (2,073) and own funds to EUR 3,822 million (3,202). Solvency ratio amounted to 197 per cent (154). S&P A rating requirement for If P&C Group amounted to EUR 2,967 million (3,058) at the end of 2016.

The Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority has in November 2016 approved a partial intern model for calculating the solvency capital requirement for If P&C Insurance Company Ltd (Sweden).

If is investigating the possibility of extending the partial internal model to also cover the Finnish business. This would require the transformation of If's Finnish subsidiary, If P&C Insurance Company Ltd. (Finland), into a branch office of the Swedish company.

The change would be in line with If's business model as the Swedish company already consists of If's Swedish, Norwegian and Danish businesses through a branch structure and further enhances If Group's capital situation and its risk management structure.

On 31 December 2016 Mandatum Life's solvency ratio after transitional measures is strong at 160 per cent (158). Own funds of EUR 1,893 million (1,913) exceed Solvency Capital Requirement (SCR) of EUR 1,182 million (1,212) by EUR 711 million. Without transitional measures, own funds would have amounted to EUR 1,441 and the solvency capital requirement to EUR 1,409 million leading to a solvency ratio of 102 per cent (103).

Sampo Group is regarded as a financial and insurance conglomerate according to 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 firms. The Act was amended as of 1 January 2016 to correspond to Solvency II and Basel III rules.

The starting point for the Group's solvency capital is the consolidated Group equity. The sectoral items are added to it and the intangibles and other deductibles are subtracted from it. Sampo Group solvency

Group's conglomerate solvency ratio (own funds in relation to minimum requirements for own funds) using Solvency II rules for the insurance subsidiaries was 154 per cent (145) as at 31 December 2016.

Group solvency is also calculated by Solvency II rules. More information on this method is available at the Risk Management section of the Annual Report 2016. The requirements calculated with the two methods differ very little from one another.

More information on Sampo Group's capital policy is available at the Risk Management section of the Annual Report 2016.

Debt financing

Sampo plc's debt financing on 31 December 2016 amounted to EUR 3,548 million (2,302) and interest bearing assets to EUR 2,104 million (1,343). Interest bearing assets include bank accounts, EUR 637 million (579) of hybrid capital and subordinated debt instruments issued by the subsidiaries and associates and EUR 28 million of other fixed income instruments (25). On 31 December 2016 the interest bearing net debt amounted to EUR 1,443 million (959).

Gross debt to Sampo plc's equity was 47 per cent (32) and financial leverage 32 per cent (24). Increase in leverage has two explanations. Firstly when purchasing Topdanmark shares, Sampo increased its debt by EUR 400 million. Secondly Sampo refinanced its EUR 500 million bond maturing February 2017 already in November 2016 by issuing a seven-year senior bond of EUR 750 million without simultaneously redeeming maturing 2017 bond. Leverage ratio is expected to normalize below 30 per cent during first quarter of 2017.

In connection to the mandatory bid on Topdanmark, Sampo plc increased the amount of commercial papers issued from EUR 338 million at the end of the second quarter 2016 to EUR 702 million on 30 September 2016. The amount of commercial papers amounted to EUR 671 million on 31 December 2016 (305).

On 17 November 2016 Sampo plc issued under its EMTN Programme senior unsecured floating rate notes of EUR 750 million maturing on 18 September 2023.

On 24 November 2016 If P&C Insurance Holding Ltd (publ.), the holding company of If P&C Insurance Group, issued a dual tranche tier 2 notes of SEK 2,000 million, of which the floating rate tranche amounted to SEK 1,500 million and the fixed rate tranche to SEK 500 million. The rationale for the issuance was to refinance a hybrid loan of EUR 150 million called in 2015 and to optimize the capital structure. The first call date is 1 December 2021.

As at 31 December 2016 financial liabilities in Sampo plc's balance sheet consisted of issued senior bonds and notes of EUR 2,877 million (1,997) and EUR 671 million (305) of CPs issued. The average interest, net of interest rate swaps, on Sampo plc's debt as of 31 December 2016 was 1.37 per cent (1.45). The increase in the average interest rate is temporary and due to closing of swap positions related to the February 2017 bond.

Outlook

Outlook

Outlook for 2017

Sampo Group's business areas are expected to report good operating results for 2017.

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 2017 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 current day-to-day business activities Sampo Group is exposed to various risks and uncertainties mainly through its separately managed major business units. Parent Company Sampos contribution to risks is minor one.

Major risks affecting the Group companies' profitability and its variation are market, credit, insurance and operational risks that are quantified independently by the major business units. At the group level sources of risks are same, but they are not directly additive because of diversification effects.

Uncertainties in the form of major unforeseen events may have an immediate impact on the Group's profitability. Identification of unforeseen events is easier than estimation of their probabilities, timing and potential outcomes. Currently there are a number of widely identified macro-economic, political and other sources of uncertainty which can in various ways affect financial services industry negatively. Especially the political risks are at the elevated level at the moment.

Other sources of uncertainty are unforeseen structural changes in the business environment and already identified trends and potential wide-impact events. These external drivers may also have a long-term impact on how business shall be conducted.

Dividend proposal

Dividend proposal

According to Sampo plc's dividend policy, total annual dividends paid shall be at least 50 per cent of the 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 7,423,628,273.90 of which profit for the financial year was EUR 1,565,149,328.44.

The Board proposes to the Annual General Meeting a dividend of EUR 2.30 per share to company's 560,000,000 shares. The dividends to be paid are EUR 1,288,000,000.00 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 2 May 2017. The Board proposes that the dividend be paid on 9 May 2017.

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 16.

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.

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.

The figures include also the financial assets classified as Assets held for sale.

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 increase recognised in profit/loss of EURm 10 (9) and in a decrease recognised directly in equity of EURm 8 (3). In Life insurance, 10 percentage point depreciation of all other currencies against EUR would result in an increase recognised in profit/loss of EURm 12 (23) and in a decrease recognised directly in equity of EURm 94 (79). In Holding, 10 percentage point depreciation of all other currencies against EUR would have no impact in profit/loss, but a decrease recognised in equity of EURm 164 (68).

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 2016.

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 Dec 2016 would cause a descend of EURm 2 (2) for the debt instruments, and EURm 162 (169) 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 1.4 per cent (1.5).
