Interim report Jan – Sep 2010

STOCKHOLM 28 OCTOBER 2010

On 12 July, SEB announced the divestment of its German retail operations expecting closing before year-end. For comparative purposes, the Group's income statement has been restated as continuing and discontinued operations.

The first nine months – operating profit SEK 6.8bn (3.6)

Continuing operations: net profit SEK 5.0bn (1.4) – earnings per share SEK 2.25 (0.78), RoE 6.7 per cent (2.0) Including discontinued operations: net profit SEK 3.3bn (0.9) – earnings per share SEK 1.48 (0.57), RoE 4.4 per cent (1.2)

  • Operating income dropped by 14 per cent adjusted for a debt buy-back gain of SEK 1.3bn in 2009. Net interest income was down 22 per cent and net fee and commission income up 6 per cent.
  • Operating expenses rose by 1 per cent adjusted for goodwill write-downs of SEK 3.0bn in 2009 and restructuring costs of SEK 0.8bn in conjunction with the divestment of the retail operations in Germany 2010.
  • Provisions for credit losses decreased by SEK 6.7bn or 75 per cent to SEK 2,256m (8,966); the credit loss level was 0.21 per cent (0.91). Impaired loans decreased by 15 per cent.
  • The core Tier 1 capital ratio was 12.1 per cent (11.7) and the Tier 1 capital ratio 14.2 per cent (13.9).

The third quarter – operating profit SEK 2.8bn (0.7)

Continuing operations: net profit SEK 2.1bn (0.3) Including discontinued operations: net profit SEK 0.6 (0.0)

  • Operating income decreased by 2 per cent compared to the corresponding quarter in 2009 and by 4 per cent from the previous quarter, mainly due to seasonal effects. Net interest income grew by 11 per cent in the quarter.
  • Operating expenses rose by 5 per cent compared to the third quarter of last year, adjusted for one-off items, and decreased by 7 per cent from the previous quarter.
  • A net release of provisions for credit losses of SEK 196m (-3,206) was made following the Baltic stabilisation.

"The turnaround in the Baltic economies is even more visible today and in combination with falling impaired loans the Baltic operations are back in black. As global macro imbalances continue to hamper a broad based economic recovery, uncertainty as to the timing of the pick-up in corporate credit demand in the Nordic region remains."

Annika Falkengren

SEB Interim Report January – September 2010 1

President's comment

Concerns around the sturdiness of the global recovery continue to dampen corporate demand for credit as well as corporate and institutional activity. Much institutional support is still needed to cater for a fragile economic recovery.

The Nordic countries – and Sweden in particular – have continued to show resilience supported by strong government finances. This was further underlined in the third quarter as all previous Swedish support measures of the funding markets came to an end and the Riksbank continued to hike its repo rate. But given the loss of momentum in global growth that is expected in 2011, the outlook for the activity levels in the Nordic economies is somewhat lower.

Higher profits in a seasonally slow quarter

The underlying business generated an operating profit of SEK 3.6bn. After the provisions in order to right-size infrastructure of the remaining German operations, following the agreed divestment of German Retail, the reported operating profit was SEK 2.8bn. Seasonality and comparatively low volatility dampened trading and commission income. Retail Banking in Sweden and Life recorded higher income.

Baltic businesses back in black

The most notable development this quarter is that our Baltic businesses are now reporting positive operating profit for the first time in two years, both before and after provisions for credit losses. Deposit margins have bottomed out in all three countries, while margins on mortgages and other lending are starting to improve slightly.

Throughout the severe economic downturn in the Baltic countries, we have maintained a proactive and conservative stance in order to safeguard asset quality and long-term customer relations. The economic turnaround in the region is more visible today than it was in the spring. Non-performing loan volumes continued to drop in all three Baltic countries. As a result, we have released some collective provisions in both Latvia and Lithuania in this quarter. Much work is still required as only about 10 per cent of total reserves have been utilized due to time given to find long-term sustainable solutions for the customers and SEB, but also long judicial lead times.

The Business Bank of the Year 2010

Although institutional customer activity was unusually low in the quarter, this was partly offset by our corporate banking businesses. Structured Finance had a record quarter, driven by an increased flow of private equity financings and SEB once again confirmed its position as the leading investment bank in the Nordic and Baltic regions by advising on a number of headline transactions.

SEB is also continuing to gain market share among small and medium-sized companies with 3,300 new corporate payments customers since the start of the year. In this segment, corporate lending volumes have increased by 12 per cent since the start of the year. During the quarter SEB was named the Business Bank of the Year 2010 in Sweden by Finansbarometern.

New regulatory framework outlined

The Basel III changes published in July and September included amendments to the regulatory framework and to the timetable for implementation. In particular, more time was allowed for adjustments to the funding and liquidity rules following the far-reaching effects expressed by the industry across Europe. The capital framework was further clarified. These revisions and the gradual implementation of the proposed regulation mean that the impact of the new regime will not be as severe for customers and the industry as earlier expected. However, it is still true that banks will be asked to hold more capital and long-term funding than before and that this will increase the cost of doing business over time.

Continued focus on customers

Our balance sheet management gives us the flexibility, resilience and capacity to grow our customer businesses while catering for the new regulatory framework.

Our strategy remains unchanged: we will continue to build the leading corporate bank in the Nordics, grow our corporate business in Germany and offer full universal banking services in Sweden and the Baltic countries. As the relationship bank in our part of the world, SEB will be ready to support our customers and take advantage of growth opportunities when global recovery begins to gain real momentum.

The Group

The comparative numbers in this report have been materially affected by the exceptional market circumstances of last year. Exceptionally high volatility, aggressive policy rate cuts and elevated credit spreads created a situation where temporary income effects, both positive and negative, materialised. Large GDP falls, in particular in the Baltic region, also created a large increase of impaired loans and impairment of acquisition goodwill related to Eastern Europe.

In addition, the divestment of SEB's German retail operations, announced on 12 July, and its transaction-related costs impact profitability. The restatement of SEB's historical accounts in continuing and discontinued operations aims at creating increased transparency on long-term financial trends.

Third quarter isolated

SEB's profit before credit losses for the third quarter amounted to SEK 2,651m (3,905), a decrease of 32 per cent compared to the corresponding quarter of 2009 and by 20 per cent from the previous quarter.

In order to facilitate comparisons, the result in the table below has been adjusted for the restructuring costs related to the contracted divestment of Retail Germany. Without Retail Germany, operating profit would have been SEK 3,602m.

Operative income statement Q3 Q2 Q3
SEK m 2010 2010 % 2009 %
Operating income 8 882 9 224 -4 9 097 -2
Operating expenses -5 476 -5 907 -7 -5 192 5
Pre-provision operating profit 3 406 3 317 3 3 905 -13
Gains less losses on disposals of tangible and
intangible assets
- 3 3
Net credit losses 196 - 639 -3 206
Operating profit before restructuring 3 602 2 675 35 702
Restructuring costs - 755
Operating profit 2 847 2 675 6 702

Operating profit rose by over SEK 2bn to SEK 2,847m (702) compared to the corresponding quarter 2009. In comparison with the previous quarter, operating profit rose by 6 per cent.

Net profit (after tax) amounted to SEK 596m (37). Net profit from continuing operations – i.e. excluding the result of Retail Germany and directly related transaction costs– rose to SEK 2,082m (256).

Income

Total operating income amounted to SEK 8,882m (9,097), a decrease of 2 per cent. In comparison with the previous quarter, operating income dropped by 4 per cent, mainly due to seasonal effects.

Net interest income was SEK 4,180m, unchanged from the corresponding quarter 2009. Net interest income grew by 11 per cent on a quarterly basis.

Customer-driven net interest income dropped by 8 per cent compared to the third quarter of 2009 due to lower corporate volumes and falling deposit margins. In comparison with the previous quarter, it grew by 3 per cent as margins slightly recovered.

Net interest income from other activities, mainly the bond investment portfolio and other trading and treasury activities, increased by SEK 277m compared to the corresponding quarter 2009 and was up by SEK 334m from the previous quarter. The Group's positive sensitivity to higher short-term rates in combination with a lower net financing cost due to liquidity portfolio management supported the net interest income. Acquired substitute assets to manage the interest rate risk in relation to the divestment of the German retail operations, expected to close in the fourth quarter, further elevated net interest income in the quarter; this temporary effect will last until the closing of the transaction expected before year-end has taken place.

Net fee and commission income rose by 4 per cent, mainly as an effect of increased revenues from mutual funds and custody as well as from lending. In comparison with the previous quarter, commission income dropped by 8 per cent as an effect of lower activities in the summer months.

Net financial income was down by 23 per cent compared to the third quarter of 2009 and by 26 per cent from the previous quarter. Seasonally slow business activity and low market volatility decreased earnings while tightening credit spreads and falling long-term interest rates recovered most of the valuation losses on fixed-income securities that were recorded last quarter as a consequence of the European sovereign debt situation.

Net life insurance income dropped by 5 per cent on Group level compared to the third quarter of 2009. In comparison with the previous quarter, life insurance income was up by 5 per cent.

Net other income amounted to SEK -230m (-165), mainly due to negative hedge accounting effects and select sales of bonds classified as Available for sale.

Expenses

Total operating expenses amounted to SEK 5,476m (5,192), a decrease of 7 per cent compared to the previous quarter adjusted for the above-mentioned restructuring costs of SEK 755m. The fall was mainly due to seasonal effects. In comparison with the corresponding quarter of last year, expenses rose by 5 per cent on a comparable basis, mainly due to investments in client coverage and IT in 2010.

Provisions for credit losses

Provisions for credit losses decreased by SEK 3.4bn, leading to a net release of SEK 196m (-3,206 in Q3 2009, corresponding to a credit loss level of 0.98 per cent).

The improving asset quality in the Baltic operations enabled a net recovery of SEK 273m (-2,642).

Individually assessed impaired loans decreased by SEK 1,102m, or 6 per cent, to SEK 18,136m during the quarter. The decrease in the Baltic region was SEK 863m, or 7 per cent, of which half was ascribed to an appreciating Swedish krona.

The Group's past due portfolio assessed loans were in line with the previous quarter, at SEK 6,980m. The quarterly increase in the Baltic region was SEK 30m, or 0.6 per cent.

The total reserve ratio for individually assessed impaired loans decreased to 73 per cent during the quarter and the total non-performing loans coverage ratio to 68 per cent.

The first nine months of 2010

SEB's profit before credit losses for January-September 2010 amounted to SEK 9,072m (12,533), down 28 per cent compared to 2009.

The first nine months of last year included goodwill impairment charges related to Eastern Europe as well as capital gains from the buy-back of subordinated debt. The first nine months of 2010 included restructuring costs related to the divestment of SEB's German retail business. In order to facilitate comparisons, income and costs have been adjusted in the table below.

Operative income statement Jan-Sep
SEK m 2010 2009 %
Operating income 26 841 31 055 -14
Operating expenses -17 014 -16 834 1
Pre-provision operating profit 9 827 14 221 -31
Net tangible and intangible assets - 7 28
Net credit provisions -2 256 -8 966 -75
Operating profit before one-off items 7 564 5 283 43
Capital gains 1 300
Impairment of goodwill -2 988
Restructuring cost - 755
Operating profit 6 809 3 595 89

Operating profit amounted to SEK 6,809m (3,595), an increase of SEK 3.2bn or 89 per cent compared to the corresponding period of 2009.

Net profit amounted to SEK 3,289m (893), while net profit from continuing operations rose to SEK 4,992m (1,445).

Income

Total operating income amounted to SEK 26,841m (31,055), a decrease of 14 per cent adjusted for the above-mentioned capital gain.

Net interest income, at SEK 11,484m (14,714), was SEK 3,230m or 22 per cent lower than in the corresponding period of 2009. Customer-driven net interest income dropped by SEK 1,619m or 14 per cent compared to the corresponding period of last year due to lower volumes and falling deposit margins. The change in total volume and margin contributions were negative at SEK 678m and SEK 941m, respectively. As Swedish short-term rates have started to increase, liability margins will benefit.

Net interest income from other activities, mainly the bond investment portfolio and other trading and treasury activities, decreased by SEK 1,611m compared to 2009. The net cost for the funding actions of last year are subsiding as excess liquidity can be managed at better returns and credit spreads on SEB's issued securities have narrowed in 2010. In addition, the higher short-term rates support net interest income. Net interest income also included a cost of SEK 225m (225) for the charge related to the Swedish stability fund.

Net fee and commission income rose by 6 per cent, to SEK 10,254m (9,698) as an effect of increased securities commissions and on average higher asset under management and custody values.

Net financial income was down by 25 per cent, to SEK 2,654m (3,549), partly due to lower income from the foreign exchange business as market volatility in 2010 is lower compared to last year. The valuation gain in the investment portfolio was SEK 72m (-413) over the income statement.

Net life insurance income dropped by 7 per cent, to SEK 2,475m (2,665). Total income generated from life insurance business (including internal retrocession from fund companies) decreased by 7 per cent. Adjusted for the recovery of guarantee provisions in traditional portfolios of Nya Liv last year, the underlying income was up by 1 per cent.

Net other income amounted to SEK -26m (1,729). The decrease is mainly explained by a capital gain of SEK 1,300m from the buy-back of subordinated debt in 2009 and hedge accounting effects.

Expenses

Total operating expenses amounted to SEK 17,014m (16,834), one per cent up adjusted for the above-mentioned restructuring costs and goodwill impairment charges.

Staff costs were down by 5 per cent due to a decreased number of employees as well as lower cost for redundancies and pensions. The average number of full time equivalents decreased by 1,086 (excluding Retail Germany) - of which 174 in Sweden, 47 in Germany, 482 in the Baltic countries and 383 in other countries - to 17,044 (18,130).

Other expenses rose by 16 per cent, mainly related to investments enabling growth and systems for efficiency. Similar investments were limited in the prevailing market circumstances a year ago.

Provisions for credit losses

Provisions for credit losses decreased by 75 per cent, or SEK 6.7bn, to SEK 2,256m (8,966), leading to a credit loss level of 0.21 per cent (0.91).

Provisions for credit losses in the Baltic region decreased to SEK 1,609m (6,985) – 71 per cent of the Group total – corresponding to a credit loss level of 1.54 per cent (5.29). In Sweden, provisions for credit losses amounted to SEK 202m (875) – equal to 3 basis points (13), in the other Nordic countries to SEK 205m (324) – 27 basis points (47) – and in Germany to SEK 100m (212), excluding Retail Germany – 4 basis points (10).

Individually assessed impaired loans decreased by SEK 3,188m, or 15 per cent, to SEK 18,136m. The decrease in the Baltic region was SEK 2,052m, or 15 per cent, to a large extent due to the appreciation of the Swedish krona by 10 per cent to the Euro. The gross level of impaired loans in the Baltic countries was 9.72 per cent (9.39). The Group's total reserve ratio for individually assessed impaired loans increased to 73 per cent compared to 70 per cent at year-end 2009.

The Group's past due portfolio assessed loans were up SEK 43m to SEK 6,980m. The increase in the Baltic region was SEK 295m, or 7 per cent. In addition, Baltic household loans of SEK 505m were restructured at the end of September (312 at year-end 2009).

The total non-performing loans coverage ratio increased to 68 per cent (65) as a result of falling non-performing loans and higher collective reserves to cater for the previously fragile Baltic economic recovery, even if provisions in the third quarter started to reverse.

Tax expenses

Total tax amounted to SEK 1,817m (2,150), corresponding to a total tax rate of 27 per cent (60). The reduction in the total tax rate is due to lower losses in the Baltic countries and the nontax deductible goodwill impairments in 2009.

Business volumes

The Group's total balance sheet was SEK 2,254bn as at 30 September, 2 per cent down from year-end 2009 (2,308). Loan and deposit volumes related to the divestment of SEB's German retail operations have been classified as Assets and Liabilities held for sale, respectively. The balance sheet has not been restated. Excluding this effect, lending to the public decreased by 2 per cent and deposits from the public by 5 per cent, including repos.

SEB's total credit portfolio decreased by 6 per cent, to SEK 1,699bn (1,816), mainly due to lower lending to banks. The Baltic credit portfolio decreased by 17 per cent, excluding currency effects the reduction was 8 per cent.

SEB's total net positions in fixed-income securities for investment, treasury and client trading purposes amounted to SEK 322bn (262 at year-end 2009).

As at 30 September 2010, assets under management amounted to SEK 1,343bn (1,356). Net inflow during the period was SEK 43bn (20), while the change in value was SEK -56bn (74). Assets under custody amounted to SEK 4,879bn (4,853).

Bond investment portfolio

As at 30 September, the bond investment portfolio of Merchant Banking had decreased to SEK 64bn from SEK 97bn a year earlier, in line with the plan to reduce the holdings through amortisations and limited sales. 81 per cent of the holdings are classified as Loans and Receivables.

There are no impaired assets in the portfolio. Under prevailing credit market conditions, SEB views material defaults on the holdings as unlikely and the risk for impairment charges is limited.

Market risk

During the first three quarters 2010, the Group's Value at Risk in the trading operations averaged SEK 292m (193 during the calendar year 2009). Consequently, the Group on average should not expect to lose more than this amount during a tenday period, with 99 per cent probability.

Liquidity and funding

SEB's loan-to-deposit ratio – net of repos and reclassified bonds – was 138 per cent (139). Bond issuance year-to-date was SEK 60bn, which is about half of the level last year when funding duration was extended. On 30 September, the matched funding of net cash inflows and outflows remained at about 18 months. SEB continued to maintain assets eligible for pledging with central banks in excess of SEK 200bn.

Capital position

SEB has maintained stable and strong capital ratios. As of 30 September 2010 the core Tier 1 capital ratio was 12.1 per cent (11.7 at year-end 2009), the Tier 1 capital ratio was 14.2 per cent (13.9) and the total capital ratio was 14.3 per cent (14.7). The Group's Basel II risk-weighted assets (RWA) amounted to SEK 711bn (730).

Adjusted for the supervisory transitional rules during the first Basel II years, SEB reports RWA of SEK 797bn (795), a Tier 1 capital ratio of 12.7 per cent (12.8) and a total capital ratio of 12.7 per cent (13.5).

Capital adequacy details are found on pp 25-28.

Risks and uncertainties

The macroeconomic environment is the major driver of risk to the Group's earnings and financial stability. In particular, it affects the asset quality and thereby the credit risk of the Group. The medium-term outlook for the global economy is divided – whereas Nordic economies have proven to be robust, austerity measures in many countries accentuate sovereign risk and create subdued economic growth, which could impact SEB's main markets. Thus, negative effects on economic recovery cannot be ruled out. Also, sovereign risk may impact valuations.

There are also financial risks, mainly in the form of price risks. Credit and market risks as well as other risks and the management of all the risks of the Group are described in SEB's annual report for 2009 (pp 40-56 and Note 17).

Rating

In June 2010, Moody's changed its outlook for SEB from negative to stable and affirmed the long-term A1 rating. Standard & Poor's and Fitch have a stable outlook on SEB. During the quarter, Fitch upgraded SEB's individual rating to B from B/C.

Changes in the Group Executive Committee

As communicated on 17 September, Jan Stjernström, currently head of SEB Trygg Liv Sweden, has been appointed new head of the Life division. He is succeeding Anders Mossberg, who as Senior Adviser to the CEO will focus on strategic life insurance development and SEB's savings offering.

Anders Johnsson, currently head of Trading & Capital Markets within Merchant Banking, has been appointed head of Wealth Management. The current head of the division, Fredrik Boheman, will be new head of SEB in Germany.

Ulf Peterson, currently head of Staff, Retail Banking, has been appointed Head of Group HR. He is succeeding Ingrid Engström, who as Senior Adviser to Fredrik Boheman will support him in managing organisational issues in Germany.

Divestment of German Retail

The divestment of SEB's German retail banking business to Banco Santander, as announced on 12 July, is progressing according to plan in order to achieve closing before year-end.

As communicated in July, the Group has restated its accounts to reflect the divestment. Restructuring charges of SEK 755m (EUR 80m for right-sizing of infrastructure) in the continuing operations and transaction-related costs of SEK 1,240m (EUR 130m for advisory costs and execution of IT and physical separation including redundancy) in discontinued operations have been recorded in the third quarter. The capital gain, estimated at EUR 135m, and the negative hedge accounting effects, estimated at EUR 245m, will be recorded at the time of closing.

Accounting policies

This Interim Report is presented in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

The Group's consolidated accounts have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations of these standards as adopted by the European Commission. The accounting follows the Annual Accounts Act for Credit Institutions and Securities Companies (1995:1559) and the regulation and general guidelines issued by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority, Annual reports in credit institutions and securities companies (FFFS 2008:25). In addition to this the Supplementary accounting rules for groups (RFR 1.3) from the Swedish Financial Reporting Board have been applied.

The Parent company has prepared its accounts in accordance with Swedish statutory IFRS and has applied the Supplementary accounting rules for legal entities (RFR 2.3) from the Swedish Financial Reporting Board.

On 10 July an agreement was signed to sell the retail banking business in Germany. The transaction is structured as a carve-out, i.e. assets, liabilities and contracts pertaining to the retail banking business in Germany will be separated from SEB AG, into a carve-out entity and subsequently transferred to the buyer upon the closing of the transaction. As of third quarter, 2010, the carve-out entity is reported in accordance with IFRS 5, "Discontinued operations". This means that discontinued operations are reported net on a separate line in

the Group's income statement. The comparative figures in the income statement for the present and previous year have been adjusted as if the discontinued operation had never been part of the Group's continuing operations. In the consolidated balance sheet, assets and liabilities relating to the carve-out entity are separated from other assets and liabilities.

As from 2010 two changes have been introduced in the accounting standards which potentially have a material impact on the financial reports. The changes in IFRS 3 Business Combinations (effective for annual periods beginning after July 2009) will change how business combinations are accounted for in respect of transaction costs, possible contingent considerations and business combinations achieved in stages. The changes will not have an impact on previous business combinations but will be applied by the Group to business combinations for which acquisition date is on or after 1 January 2010. In addition, there have been amendments made to IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements that principally affect the accounting for transactions or events that result in a change in the Group's interests in its subsidiaries.

In all other respects, the Group's and the Parent company's accounting policies, basis for calculations and presentations are, in all material aspects, unchanged in comparison with the 2009 Annual Report.

Review report

We have reviewed this report for the period 1 January to 30 September 2010 for Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ). The board of directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Act for Credit institutions and Securities Companies. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

We conducted our review in accordance with the Swedish Standard on Review Engagements SÖG 2410, Review of Interim Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing in Sweden, RS, and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Act for Credit institutions and Securities Companies regarding the Group, and with the Swedish Annual Act for Credit institutions and Securities Companies, regarding the Parent Company.

Stable earnings in a market with seasonal effects and low volatility

  • Asset quality remained high
  • Continued focus on growth in home markets

Comments on the first nine months

A seasonally slow third quarter in combination with generally low market volatility put pressure on income. This trend was also fuelled by political uncertainty related to the Swedish election which kept investors on the sideline longer than expected during the summer months. Accumulated over the year, client facilitation income remains strong which is a tribute to Merchant Banking's business model built on longterm customer relationships. Compared to last year, income from the investment portfolio is 1,130m lower as the portfolio gradually amortises.

M&A activity increased during the third quarter, for the second quarter in a row. SEB Enskilda confirmed the position as the leading investment bank in the Nordic and Baltic regions by advising e.g. Ovako, Investor, Hexagon and Ericsson in their successful transactions during the quarter.

Operating income for the first nine months of 2010 decreased compared to 2009, but client related income for the third quarter rose, reflecting improved income mix and lower risks. Operating expenses for the first nine months of 2010 were flat compared to the corresponding period of 2009, but decreased by 17 per cent from the second to the third quarter. Operating profit decreased by SEK 489m compared to the second quarter of 2010. Credit losses decreased by SEK 657m compared to the first nine months 2009, which confirmed the high asset quality.

Corporate banking generated a strong quarter, especially within Structured Finance. Activity and demand for corporate borrowing started to pick up and is expected to continue as many Nordic borrowers' credit facilities, closed in 2005-2007, reach maturity and the need for expansionary investments increase.

Lower customer activity and market volatility has always characterized the summer months in Trading and Capital Markets. This was true also this quarter and most business areas recorded lower activity.

Global Transaction Services continued the positive trend from the first half year and is expected to improve performance based on the anticipated increase in interest rates during the rest of 2010. At the end of the period assets under custody were SEK 4,879bn (4,853 at year-end 2009).

Merchant Banking continued to increase customer related activities and growing the franchise in the other Nordic countries and in Germany. The plans are progressing as expected and investments in client coverage and distribution capacity for 2010 are almost complete. An important next step will be the establishment of corporate finance activities in the German operations during the autumn.

Retail Banking

The Retail Banking division consists of two business areas – Sweden and Card.

Retail Germany has not been included in the Retail Banking division in this interim report, following the divestment announced on 12 July. The divisional figures for 2009 have been restated in order to make comparisons possible.

Comments on the first nine months

During 2010, the Retail Division has continued to invest in improved availability and enhanced customer service, by added resources to the Telephone bank, extensive participation in networks for entrepreneurs and through recruiting corporate client executives.

Operating income in the third quarter, at SEK 2,109m, was in line with previous quarters. Lower credit losses and stable operating expenses contributed positively to the operating profit compared to last year, but did not fully offset the negative impact from low interest rates. Operating profit amounted to SEK 688m (705).

Within Retail Sweden, customer demand for lending continued and volumes increased by 2 per cent during the quarter to SEK 369bn. The annualized rate is 10 per cent, in line with total growth in 2009. The activity level in the savings area remained high, although concentrated on reallocation of customers existing savings. The deposit volumes on fixed interest accounts continued to increase.

Within both private and corporate segments progresses have been made in the Internet bank in terms of improved personalized interface, navigation and enhanced services. Both corporate and private customers contributed to growing lending volumes. Within private mortgage lending specifically, where SEB has prepared for changes according to new regulations, growth continued at the same pace as in the full year of 2009 at a rate of 8 per cent in the first nine months of 2010. Both lending and deposit margins increased slightly in the last quarter and net interest income continued to rise a second consecutive quarter.

In accordance with SEB's ambition to grow the corporate retail business, investments have continued in terms of recruitment and the setting up of regional centres targeting larger SME customers. The net increase of corporate customers is 3,300 year-to-date in 2010. Provisions for credit losses in Swedish Retail in the first nine months amounted to SEK 173m (276) and operating profit to SEK 1,106m (1,458).

The Card business continued to perform well. Customer activity level was high. Several new features have been developed in order to further strengthen the customer offerings. The business still benefits from the low levels of interest rates.

Provisions for credit losses were SEK 226m (341) mainly due to lower fraud-related losses and substantially lower provisions. Operating profit amounted to SEK 708m (672).

Strong demand for broader investment solutions with down-side protection

Comments on the first nine months

The customer activity continued on a very high level, both within Institutional Clients and Private Banking. In connection with the default of a small local Swedish bank, SEB assisted clients in managing the situation and attracted significant inflows of new clients. Compared to the corresponding period last year, SEB's net sales continued to increase for both Private Banking, at SEK 16.1bn (14.2) and, in particular, Institutional Clients, at SEK 26.2bn (10.7).

SEB continues to concentrate on providing solutions that take the customers' whole financial situation into account, for example tailored solutions for entrepreneurs.

Several actions have been taken in order to further develop modern portfolio strategies and a modernized investment process via a broadened range of asset classes which cover both traditional and newer options.

SEB's broad offering and approach towards the institutional clients continues to gain momentum. During the third quarter an increasing number of new mandates were included in assets under management. Customers also have the opportunity to invest in a number of SEB index products as well as other third-party products as complementary to SEB's own offering.

The expansion outside SEB's home markets continued to yield results with a volume of close to SEK 19bn. Inflows derive from a number of mutual fund product areas, which shows that SEB's funds are competitive in a global market place.

Operating income increased by 17 per cent compared to the corresponding period of last year. The decrease between the second and third quarters was mainly due to lower performance and transaction fees. For the first nine months the performance and transactions fees almost doubled, to SEK 193m (96). The trend for base commission increased due to SEB's asset mix and net sales. Operating expenses were up 4 per cent from last year, mainly due to higher activity and investment level.

Average assets under management improved by 9 per cent compared to the corresponding period last year. The improvement was due to the strong net sales of SEK 41bn (21) and the market development. Investment performance as a per cent of portfolios above benchmark increased to 66 per cent (63), while 64 per cent (72) of assets under management were ahead of their respective benchmarks. Brokerage income remained strong despite the normally weaker summer period, at SEK 221m (219). The net interest income is still not in line with last year at SEK 349m (482).

Life

Life consists of three business areas - SEB Trygg Liv (Sweden), SEB Pension (Denmark) and SEB Life & Pension International.

Strong result - operating profit increased by 9 per cent

Diversified unit-linked offering helps customers in volatile markets

High premium inflow confirms customer confidence

Comments on the first nine months

During the first nine months of 2010, several customer activities were launched. Improved availability at customer service centres, increased advisory service and enhanced product offerings have been in focus - all in order to strengthen long-term relations with customers.

The capacity at the service centres has expanded and customer feedback now forms part of a continuous review of the division's customer offerings. The ongoing efforts to ensure a high quality fund offering include a launch of additional Strategy funds. The continued high premium inflow confirms that the initiatives are well received by the customers. Total premium income increased by 4 per cent, to SEK 22.7bn (21.9).

Operating profit increased by 9 per cent compared with the first nine months of 2009. Excluding the effect of recovered guarantee provisions in traditional portfolios, income rose by 12 per cent and profit rose by 27 per cent, mainly related to higher income from unit-linked products. Recovered guarantee provisions amounted to SEK 26m compared with SEK 243 last year. The remaining guarantee provisions amount to SEK 79m in total. All business areas showed increased profit levels. Continued focus on unit-linked has led to moderate risk exposure, improved capital efficiency

and increased return on business equity.

Unit-linked income continued to improve as a result of positive market trends and high risk appetite among policyholders, selecting more advanced and equity related alternatives. The total fund value increased by 16 per cent to SEK 169bn compared to SEK 145bn in September 2009. The result for other product areas also developed favourably during the period. Client funds in the traditional business also generated satisfactory returns.

Operating expenses, excluding depreciation, were stable compared with last year. Continued improvement of the administrative efficiency supports a stable cost trend per policy. Depreciation of deferred acquisition costs increased but should be seen in the light of increased unit-linked income.

Unit-linked insurance remains the major product group, representing 86 per cent (79) of total sales. The share of corporate paid policies increased to 64 per cent (63). Sales in the Baltic countries have stabilised and show some improvement.

Total assets under management (net assets) amounted to SEK 414bn, which is an increase of 5 per cent from a year ago and 3 per cent from year-end.

Comments on the first nine months

The delicate economic recovery in the Baltic region that commenced early in 2010 has continued. Exports and consumer confidence indicators continue to point upwards, although unemployment levels remain high. As presented in SEB's Eastern European Outlook in October, the GDP forecast for 2011 is 4 per cent growth rate for each of Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia. In July, ECOFIN Council took the final positive decision on Estonia to adopt the Euro as from 1 January 2011.

SEB continued to win customer awards across the Baltics in the third quarter. Throughout the region, SEB was ranked as the best Investment Bank. In Estonia, SEB was voted the most customer-friendly company in the Estonian financial sector. SEB Lithuania was rewarded by two surveys for best Internet Banking service provider.

In the first nine months, the level of deposit volumes stabilised across the three countries. Total new lending volume also stabilised and is now starting to gradually increase in Latvia. Loan margins stabilised in the first nine months, although deposit margins remained low due to the ongoing low interest rate environment.

At the end of September, the leasing portfolio amounted to SEK 12.3bn. The average recovery rate on repossessed vehicles was approximately 60 per cent.

As at 30 September 2010, SEB's real estate holding companies in the three Baltic countries had acquired assets with a total volume of SEK 295m. SEB's Baltic real estate lending amounted to SEK 23bn, of which 29 per cent was impaired as at 30 September 2010.

Third quarter income of SEK 700m was 3 per cent lower than in the second quarter. The decline was mainly due to the strengthening of the Swedish krona seen during the quarter.

Year-to-date operating expenses of SEK 1,427m were significantly lower than for the first nine months of 2009. This reflects both the goodwill write-off of SEK 2.3bn in the second quarter 2009 and the right-sizing of the distribution network.

Operating profit for the first nine months was SEK -888m (-7,972). The improvement was due to significantly lower provisions for credit losses, at SEK 1,609m, including a net release of provisions of SEK 273m in the third quarter. Non-performing loans stabilised in all three countries. The reserve ratio decreased slightly to 65 per cent.

Result by geography – January-September 2010

As a relationship bank, SEB in Sweden and the Baltic countries offers financial advice and a wide range of financial services. In Denmark, Finland, Norway and Germany the bank's operations have a strong focus on corporate and investment banking based on a full-service offering to corporate and institutional clients. The international nature of SEB's business is reflected in its presence in some 20 countries worldwide.

  • Low policy rates continue to negatively affect deposit margins in all markets
  • Robust Nordic economies expected to support improving business volumes and corporate credit demand
  • Improved asset quality across the borders; accentuated improvement in the Baltic countries

Comments on the first nine months

In Sweden, which accounts for 56 per cent of SEB's operating income, corporate activity in general remained subdued. Mortgage lending increased by 8 per cent compared to the first nine months 2009. Operating profit for the Wealth and Life divisions improved compared to last year. The Group's operating profit in Sweden compared to last year decreased by 19 per cent.

In Denmark, SEB's operating profit for the first nine months rose by 3 per cent compared to last year. Within Merchant Banking, SEB's growth initiatives have resulted in an inflow of new key customers. Income development was strong within Trading & Capital Markets. Unit-linked sales increased by 47 per cent compared to 2009 in local currency, while sales of traditional products fell by 35 per cent. Premium income overall increased by 24 per cent in local currency.

In Finland, SEB's total operating profit rose by 20 per cent. Merchant Banking's result was up by 12 per cent. Wealth Management's operating profit increased following higher net sales and client activities. Card's result improved compared with last year.

In Norway, SEB's overall financial performance was lower than in the exceptional previous year. On the corporate side, SEB participated in a number of major transactions, among them the merger between EDB and Ergo Group. Client focus on capital structure was high, which rewards SEB's offering with combined debt and equity advisory capabilities. Private

Banking and Institutional Clients experienced an inflow of new clients and volumes, with high growth rate in mutual funds inflows.

In Germany, Merchant Banking increased its client activities but capital markets income was lower. Income in Wealth Management increased. The divestment of Retail Germany is progressing according to plan. As previously communicated, the third quarter includes a restructuring cost of EUR 80m for streamlining of continuing operations.

In the Baltic region, the gradual recovery continued, as described on page 16.

Total equity according to the balance sheet (1) includes the current year's profit, which has been reviewed by the auditors.

Deductions (2) for investments outside the financial group of undertakings should be made with equal parts from Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital. However, investments in insurance companies made before 20 July 2006 can be deducted from the capital base (9) – this holds for SEB's investments in insurance companies.

The deduction (3) consists of retained earnings in subsidiaries outside the financial group of undertakings.

The adjustment (4) refers to differences in how hedging contracts are acknowledged according to the capital adequacy regulation, as compared with the preparation of the balance sheet.

If provisions and value adjustments for credit exposures reported according to the Internal Rating Based approach fall short of expected losses on these exposures, the difference (5) should be deducted in equal parts from Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital. A corresponding excess can, up to a certain limit, be added to Tier 2 capital.

For Available For Sale portfolios (6) value changes on debt instruments should not be acknowledged for capital adequacy. Any surplus attributable to equity instruments may be included in Tier 2 capital.

Securitisation positions with external rating below BB/Ba are not included in RWA calculations but are treated via deductions (7) from Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital.

Goodwill in (8) relates only to consolidation into the financial group of undertakings. When consolidating the entire Group's balance sheet further goodwill of SEK 5,721m is created. This is included in the deduction (9) for insurance investments.

Pension surplus values (10) should be deducted from the capital base, excepting such indemnification as prescribed in the Swedish Act on safeguarding of pension undertakings.

On 30 September 2010 the parent company's Tier 1 capital was SEK 94,262m (93,674) and the reported Tier 1 capital ratio was 15.9 per cent (14.8).

Corporate exposures (1) exclude such small companies where the total exposure does not exceed certain regulatory-defined thresholds.

The Standardised approach (2) is used for credit exposures to central governments, central banks and local governments and authorities, and to exposures where IRB implementation is on-going. The reported capital requirement is dominated by the Corporate and Retail exposure classes.

During 2009 institutions were required to have a capital base not below 80 per cent of the capital requirement according to Basel I regulation. According to the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority, this minimum level should apply to the years 2010 and 2011. The addition (3) is made in consequence with these transitional arrangements.

Capital adequacy analysis

Representing business volumes as RWA (risk-weighted assets, 12.5 times the capital requirement) the regulatory minima can be expressed as a total capital ratio of at least 8 per cent and a Tier 1 capital ratio of at least 4 per cent. However, and following the "second pillar" of the new framework, banks are expected to operate above this level. The margin supports SEB's high rating ambitions, covering risks that are not

included in the capital adequacy regulation, and representing a buffer for the less benign phases of the business cycle. The Group's internal capital assessment process is based on the long term business plans and utilises SEB's economic capital model, supplemented e.g. with macro economic analysis and stress testing.

Overall Basel II RWA (before the effect of transitional flooring) decreased with 3 per cent or SEK 19bn over the first three quarters. The biggest factor behind this change was the currency translation effect from the stronger Swedish krona which decreased RWA with SEK 40bn. Risk class migration is discussed below. Underlying credit volumes showed a mixed pattern where increased corporate lending added some SEK 8bn to RWA while e.g. inter-bank volumes decreased. The net effect of efficiency projects and underlying credit volumes was to increase RWA with SEK 8bn. Operational and market RWA taken together increased SEK 10bn over the three quarters.

With the effect of transitional flooring included RWA increased from SEK 795bn to 797bn over the three quarters. The transitional rule is not only based on "80 per cent of Basel I" but also considers net provisioning; since this amount increased over the three quarters reported RWA remained

virtually unchanged even though Basel I RWA decreased with 19bn SEK.

The above means that un-floored Basel II RWA was 28 per cent lower than Basel I RWA. SEB uses a gradual roll-out of the Basel II framework; the ultimate target is to use IRB reporting for all credit exposures except those to central governments, central banks and local governments and authorities, and excluding a small number of insignificant portfolios. The current best estimate indicates that this would mean a reduction in total RWA (compared with Basel I, and as a business cycle average) of 35 per cent. This cannot be equated with a similar capital release, however, due to the new framework's increased business cycle sensitivity, supervisory evaluation and rating agency considerations. In addition the estimate will certainly be affected by the proposed revisions to the international capital framework

("Basel III") as published by the Basel Committee in 2009 and 2010. SEB participated in the Basel Committee's impact study concerned with the proposal.

The following table exposes average risk weights (RWA divided by EAD, Exposure At Default) for exposures where

RWA is calculated following the IRB approach. Repo-style transactions are excluded from the analysis since they carry low risk weight and can vary considerably in volume, thus making numbers less comparable.

IRB reported credit exposures (less repos and securities lending)

Securitisation positions 22,4% 22,6%
Retail mortgages 17,2% 17,2%
Other retail exposures 38,7% 38,5%

Risk class migration increased RWA for corporate exposures with SEK 5bn over the three quarters. No migration effect was recorded for inter-bank exposures but the average risk weight increased slightly since the overall volume decrease was not proportional over risk classes.

Market risk

The Group's risk taking in trading operations is primarily measured by value at risk, VaR. The Group has chosen a level of 99 per cent probability and a ten-day time-horizon for reporting. In the day-today risk management of trading positions, SEB follows up limits with a one-day time horizon. All risk exposures are well within the Board's decided limits.

first three quarters of 2010, the Group's Value at Risk in the trading operations averaged SEK 292m. The increase compared to 2009 is due to larger positions, primarily in the liquidity portfolio that has been built up during 2010.

The average numbers are not fully comparable due to the change of risk model during later half of 2009.

The table below shows the VaR exposure by risk type. During the

Details on Life

The division is responsible for SEB's life insurance operations and is one of the leading Nordic life insurance groups. The division is organised in three business areas:

  • SEB Trygg Liv (Sweden)
  • SEB Pension (Denmark)
  • SEB Life & Pension International

The operations comprise insurance products in the area of investments and social security for private individuals and companies. The division has 1.8 million customers and is active in Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Luxembourg, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Ukraine. The main part of the traditional life insurance operations in Sweden is conducted through the mutually operated insurance company Gamla Livförsäkringsaktiebolaget SEB Trygg Liv and therefore not consolidated with the division's result. Gamla Liv is closed for new business. The traditional insurance business conducted in Nya Livförsäkringsaktiebolaget SEB Trygg Liv (Nya Liv) was merged with the unit-linked company

Fondförsäkringsaktiebolaget SEB Trygg Liv in October 2007. After the merger, the result of this business – with respect to investment income and insurance risk – is still allocated to the policyholders. However, SEB Trygg Liv guarantees the contractual benefits to the policyholders in this business.

Comments on the first nine months of 2010

Operating profit increased by 9 per cent to SEK 1,680m (1,545). Excluding the effect of recovered guarantee provisions in Swedish traditional insurance, profit rose by 27 per cent. Operating income amounted to SEK 3,438m which was SEK 157m higher than last year. Adjusted for guarantee recoveries, income increased by SEK 352m or 27 per cent. The unit-linked income rose by SEK 341m or 23 per cent. The fund values as well as the relative share of equity related funds, continued to increase. Income from other insurance, mainly traditional insurance and risk products such as sickness and health insurance, decreased by SEK 87m. Guarantee recoveries amounted to SEK 26m compared with SEK 243 last year. The remaining guarantee provisions amount to SEK 79m in total. The provisions are related to previous depreciations of investment assets in Swedish traditional insurance and recoverable when future investment returns are adequate to meet guaranteed bonus levels. Appart from guarantee recoveries income from other insurance increased by SEK 130m or 13 per cent and was mainly related to risk insurance in the Swedish business. Other income decreased by SEK 97m or 18 per cent mainly as a result of lower return in investment portfolios for own account. Other items included in other income, such as IPS - Individual Pension Savings and other administrative fees, were stable. Total expenses increased by only 1 per cent to SEK 1,758 (1,736).

The effect of depreciated currencies in foreign subsidiaries, affected income and profit negatively by 4 per cent. Expenses were positively affected by 4 per cent.

Operating profit in SEB Trygg Liv Sweden, including central functions, increased by SEK 80m to SEK 1,082m. Recoveries in guarantee commitments were SEK 217m lower than last year. Otherwise operating profit was up by SEK 297m or 39 per cent due to higher unit-linked income and improvement within sickness and health insurance. Expenses increased by 8 per cent. Operating profit in SEB Pension Denmark increased by SEK 13m to SEK 460m.

Currency translation effects contributed negatively by SEK 50m. In local currency total income increased by 8 per cent and expenses increased by 3 per cent. Operating profit in SEB Life & Pension International increased by SEK 42m to SEK 138m. Income increased mainly due to improved performance in the investment portfolios and lower expenses.

Total assets under management amounted to SEK 414bn compared to 402bn at year-end. The value of the unit-linked funds increased by 8 per cent to SEK 169bn. 6 per cent was related to net inflow and 2 per cent to appreciation of fund investments. Gamla Liv's part of total assets under management was SEK 155bn, other traditional insurance accounted for 86bn and risk products for 4bn. In addition to this, SEK 6bn was managed for the division's own account.

Total sales weighted volume decreased by SEK 1.1bn or 3 per cent, to 36.2bn. In Sweden unit-linked sales as well as sales of other products were unchanged. The unit-linked product Portfolio Bond (depot endowment insurance) increased by SEK 0.2bn. This product is accounted for in the business area International, but is primarily sold to Swedish customers. In Denmark, unit-linked sales increased by SEK 1.4bn whereas sales of other products decreased by SEK 2.6bn. Sales in the Baltic region and in Ukraine remained more or less unchanged. Other sales within International decreased by SEK 0.1bn.

SEB Trygg Liv, Sweden

The Swedish operation is partly conducted according to a bank assurance concept and partly through distribution via insurance mediators and other external partners. The bank assurance concept involves an integrated banking and insurance operation with distribution through SEB's branch offices and own sales personnel. The purpose of the concept is to offer SEB's customers a complete range of products and services within the financial area. Pension savings represent almost half of the Swedish households' financial assets. According to the SEB "Sparbarometer", the share was 49 per cent at 30 June 2010.

Market position

Sales focus is on unit-linked, which represents some 95 per cent of total sales. SEB Trygg Liv is the market leader in Sweden within unitlinked insurance. The market share for the twelve month period to June 2010 was 21.2 per cent (25.8). The drop is due to the re-election of occupational pension within the SAF-LO agreement where SEB Trygg Liv doesn't participate.

Significant occupational pension business

The corporate share is recoverering slightly after falling since the beginning of 2008 due to the weak economic development during the past years. During the first nine months the corporate share was 64 per cent (63). For the twelve month period to June 2010, SEB Trygg Liv's market share in new sales unit-linked occupational pension was 16.0 per cent (18.4). The drop is due to mentioned reelection within SAF-LO. SEB Trygg Liv also offers administration and management of pension foundations.

Strong also in the private market

In the private market, SEB Trygg Liv has a strong position within new business unit-linked endowment insurance, which has shown a strong growth. The market share for the twelve month period to June 2010 was 36.3 per cent (37.2). Sales of private pension savings other than endowment insurance are relatively stable. SEB's sales in this area consist mainly of IPS - Individual Pension Savings and "Enkla Pensionen", a unit-linked product with a guarantee.

SEB Pension, Denmark

The traditional life insurance operation of SEB Pension Denmark is carried out in a profit-sharing company and therefore included in the division's result. By hedging the investment portfolios, the market and investment risks are controlled in relation to guaranteed commitments to policyholders. Variations in investment returns can be absorbed largely by accumulated buffer funds, called "collective bonus potential".

At 31 December 2009, 252 million Danish kronor were placed in a "shadow account", according to Danish legislation regarding shareholder fee available for distribution in profit-sharing traditional life insurance. The amount is considered as restricted equity and not available for dividend to the owners of the company. The company receive interest income during the period when the amount is restricted in the shadow account. The whole amount has been dissolved during the current year.

SEB Pension's products

SEB Pension sells savings, life, sickness and disability insurance to private individuals and corporate clients through own sales personnel, insurance mediators and Codan Forsikring.

Savings insurance is available both as unit-linked and traditional insurance. In the Danish private market, unit-linked insurance dominates whereas traditional insurance still accounts for the major part of sales in the corporate market. Some collective agreements do not allow sole unit-linked insurance solutions in occupational pension plans.

The trend is that the market for non-traditional life insurance such as unit-linked is expanding. The growth is mainly in the corporate segment, sold mainly by insurance mediators.

Growing occupational pension market

Since year 2000, it is mainly the Danish occupational pension market that grows, while the private market is relatively unchanged.

SEB Pension's development has been in line with the general trend. Measured in terms of premium income, SEB Pension has a total market share of 11 per cent. The market share in the unit-linked segment is 17 per cent. Danica is the dominating company with a market share of 27 and 46 per cent, respectively. All market share figures are in the peer group / competitive market segment for the first six months of 2010.

Distribution

Most insurance companies, including SEB Pension, have developed specialised private pension sales units that primarily concentrate on high-salary groups and customers with qualified advisory requirements.

Insurance mediators and the insurance companies' corporate sales personnel are the two dominant sales channels in the occupational pension market.

SEB Life & Pension International

SEB Life & Pension International includes subsidiaries in Ireland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Ukraine. In the UK, Luxembourg and Finland there are branch offices.

The operations of the Irish company SEB Life (Ireland) are focused primarily on sales of Portfolio Bond (depot endowment insurance). Sales are primarily concentrated on the Swedish market. The branch office in Luxembourg focuses on sales via SEB Private Banking to Swedes living abroad. Since 2008, the Finnish branch office focuses on sales to the Finnish market.

The Baltic subsidiaries concentrate primarily on unit-linked insurance, but offer traditional insurance and sickness/disability insurance as well. More than 80 per cent of the sales volume is to private individuals.

Risk

The supervisory authorities in Sweden and Denmark are using a traffic light model for measuring insurance companies' exposure to various risks. The model estimates a capital buffer based on the fair value of assets and liabilities using realistic assumptions. Thereafter the companies are exposed to a number of fictitious stress scenarios which is determined by the regulators. The scenarios give rise to an overall capital requirement imposed on the companies.

If the estimated buffer is not sufficient the traffic light model show a red light, causing regulators to execute a more thorough review of both quantitative and qualitative nature. Both Fondförsäkringaktiebolaget SEB Trygg Liv and SEB Pension have a reassuring capital buffer as of 30 June 2010. The companies are therefore in a green light.

* Not included in the total figures for the division.

1) Effects from adjustments of the calculation method.

2) Sales defined as new contracts and extra premiums in existing contracts.

3) The reported actual outcome of contracts signed can be placed in relation to the operative assumptions that were made. Thus, the value of the deviations can be estimated. The most important components consist of extensions of contracts as well as cancellations. However, the actual income and administrative expenses are included in full in the operating result.

4) Deferred acquisition costs are capitalised in the accounts and amortised according to plan. The reported change in surplus values is therefore adjusted by the net result of the capitalisation and amortisation during the period.

5) Assumed unit growth is 5.5 per cent gross (before fees and taxes). Actual growth results in positive or negative financial effects.

6) The negative effect during Q4 2009 was mainly due to assumed higher frequency of transfer of policies. Assumed lower administration costs per policy had a positive effect. The negative effect during Q2 2009 was due to more conservative assumptions for the Baltic business.

7) Estimated surplus value according to the above are not included in the SEB Group's consolidated accounts. The closing balance is shown after the deduction of capitalised acquisition costs (SEK 3,580m at September 30, 2010).

Surplus values

Surplus values are the present values of future profits from written insurance policies. They are calculated to better evaluate the profitability of a life insurance business since an insurance policy often has a long duration. Income accrues regularly throughout the duration of the policy. Costs, on the other hand, mainly arise at the point of sale, which leads to an imbalance between income and costs at the time when a policy is signed.

The reporting is according to international practice and is reviewed by an external party annually. Surplus values are not consolidated in the SEB Group accounts.

Surplus values relating to the traditional business in Denmark are not

included in the total surplus values for the division. Profit distribution between shareholders and policyholders in this business is defined by the so-called contribution principle. Surplus values are therefore the net present value of future profits allocated to the shareholders. As for unit-linked, the calculations are based on different assumptions, which are adjusted as required to correspond to the long-term actual development. During the first half this year positive effects are accounted for due to changes in the interest curve. During the first nine months 2009 the positive effect was due to a decrease in the discount rate from 8 to 7.5 per cent.

New business profit

One way of measuring profitability of sales is to calculate the new business profit. Profit from new business, the net of present value of new sales and sales expenses, is measured in relation to the weighted sales volume.

SEK m Oct 2009-Sep 2010 Jan-Dec 2009 Jan-Dec 2008 Jan-Dec 2007
Sales volume weighted (regular + single/10) 4,143 4,026 3,858 3,689
Present value of new sales 1,551 1,492 1,598 1,775
Sales expenses -956 -916 -879 -901
Profit from new business 595 576 719 874
Sales margin new business 14.4% 14.3% 18.6% 23.7%

The traditional insurance in Denmark is not included.

During the year there has been continued pressure on prices and increasing sales expenses. Together with a change in the product mix this has adversely affected the new business profit.
