President's comment
Downside risks continue to dominate the world economy. In the third quarter, the economic outlook for the Euro-zone worsened and the Asian economies slowed down. Since the summer, major central banks have initiated a new round of extensive quantitative easing which has reduced the likelihood of a freeze in credit markets. However, the European banking system faces major challenges in terms of capital, funding, asset quality and growth, in particular as many economies and banks are still in a deleveraging mode.
In addition, the policy measures have taken the banking system into unchartered territory and in countries like Switzerland, Germany and Denmark negative short term rates and bond yields became a reality. The small open Nordic economies have until now shown resilience but will not remain unaffected by global developments.
Financial performance reflects strong resilience
Despite the usual third quarter seasonality, operating profit reached SEK 3.9bn and operating income grew by five per cent compared to a year ago. We have continued to focus on our three strategic growth areas: the Nordic and German corporate franchise, Swedish SMEs and long-term savings. We can now leverage these scalable platforms as we have gained 276 new large corporate customers and almost 30,000 new Swedish SME customers since the expansion started in 2010.
SEB's already strengthened balance sheet has improved further. Liquidity reserves amount to 22 per cent of the total assets and all funding maturing in 2012 has been replaced at lower funding costs. The level of net credit losses was 6 basis points and non-performing loans have decreased every quarter since the end of 2009. Capital ratios in all dimensions – old or new regulatory frameworks – have increased since 2009.
Franchise growth in a slower economic environment
In this subdued economic environment, SEB continued to attract more customers and deepen its long-term customer relationships.
In Merchant Banking, the uncertain environment dampened M&A and equity capital market activities. Reduced volatility and signs of slower international trade impacted trading income as well as fee income. Credit demand for bank financing was low, while the corporate appetite for bond market financing increased. As the leading Nordic underwriter, SEB takes an active role in developing the local corporate bond markets.
The impact of the increased uncertainty on the domestic Swedish market has been limited until now. Retail banking business volumes have grown, albeit at a slower pace. SEB's franchise in the retail market consolidated further.
Accessibility has been further enhanced through new remote support for our customers and the number of mobile banking visits has exceeded 20 million during 2012. We serve the smaller SMEs through easily accessible packaged product offerings, while we have adapted the Merchant Banking advisory concept for larger SMEs. All in all, this has been appreciated by customers and SEB was named the Best SME Bank in Sweden.
In our targeted growth area of long-term savings, we now take a more holistic view. The past year's high equity market volatility has led to customers avoiding riskier assets, even when markets recover, favouring deposits and other low-risk investments. Since the start of the year, we have coordinated all savings offerings – deposits, mutual funds, life, structured products etc. – into one business area to improve advice and ease-of-use for customers. Customer volumes within areas as deposits, unit-linked funds, bond funds and private banking have increased.
A strategy built on long-term relationships
Banks play a fundamental role in society. As the Nordic corporate bank, we remain committed to our organic profitable growth strategy based on developing long-term customer relationships. The average quarterly trend of improved cost efficiency and income growth continues. This is the foundation for creating value for shareholders.
For customers, the importance of a customer-centric and financially strong bank increases as the outlook for the real economy gets more uncertain and the regulatory framework is yet to be finalised. Resilience and flexibility remain key guiding principles to us in SEB.
The Group
Third quarter isolated
Operating profit amounted to SEK 3,916m (3,709). Net profit from continuing operations was SEK 3,032m (2,848).
Net profit (after tax), including the net result from discontinued operations, amounted to SEK 2,877m (2,824).
Operating income
Total operating income amounted to SEK 9,681m (9,207). Net interest income increased to SEK 4,466m (4,122).
| SEK m | Q3 | Q2 | Q3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2012 | 2012 | 2011 | |
| Customer driven NII | 4,006 | 3,959 | 3,924 |
| NII from other activities | 460 | 571 | 198 |
| Total | 4,466 | 4,530 | 4,122 |
Customer loans and deposits combined contributed an additional SEK 82m to net interest income compared with the corresponding quarter 2011 as the average loan and deposit volumes were 3 and 10 per cent higher, respectively. Compared to the second quarter 2012, customer driven net interest income increased by SEK 48m while average customer loan and deposit volumes both fell by 1 per cent. Lower short-term rates were offset by higher lending margins.
Net interest income from other activities was up SEK 262m compared with the corresponding quarter 2011 and down SEK 111m from the previous quarter. Funding costs decreased as did margins on the liquidity portfolio. The contribution from trading was SEK 79m lower from the previous quarter; but compared to the third quarter 2011 there was an increase of SEK 6m.
Net fee and commission income decreased to SEK 3,192m (3,489). Commissions and fees from mutual funds decreased partly as average volumes of assets under management were 2 per cent lower compared both to the second quarter and to the corresponding quarter 2011. In addition, during the third quarter customers became more risk adverse and turnover on the Nordic stock exchanges decreased which lowered securities commissions. Finally, on top of normal seasonality, increased macroeconomic uncertainty lowered customer activity within areas such as payments, lending, mergers and acquisitions and new issues compared to both the second quarter and the corresponding quarter 2011.
Net financial income amounted to SEK 1,091m (903). The market values of fixed income securities in the liquidity portfolio increased in the third quarter. Income in the trading operations, which is customer driven, was reduced by low market volatility and risk appetite among customers.
Net life insurance income amounted to SEK 861m (659). The increase from the corresponding period last year was mainly due to higher income from traditional and risk insurance.
Net other income at SEK 71m (34) improved compared to the loss in the second quarter of SEK 11m, due to realised gains from sales of securities.
Comparative numbers in parenthesis refer to the corresponding numbers in the third quarter 2011 unless otherwise indicated.
Operating expenses
Total operating expenses decreased by 2 per cent during the quarter and amounted to SEK 5,580m (5,533). Staff costs decreased by 3 per cent in the quarter due to a combination of seasonality and decreased number of staff. Redundancy costs increased by SEK 79m from the previous quarter to SEK 110m.
Credit losses and provisions
Provisions for credit losses amounted to SEK 186m for the quarter corresponding to a credit loss level of 6 basis points in the continuing operations and 11 basis points including discontinued business, see below (in the third quarter 2011, there was a net reversal of SEK 33m). The provisions for credit losses for the Group, excluding the Baltic region, decreased and equaled a credit loss level of 4 basis points in the quarter. The provisions in the Baltic region decreased during the quarter and corresponded to a credit loss level of 26 basis points in the quarter.
Non-performing loans in the Group, excluding the Baltic region, fell by 14 per cent in the quarter reflecting continued strong asset quality. In the Baltic region non-performing loans fell by 9 per cent as loans continued to be written off against the reserves.
Individually assessed impaired loans decreased by SEK 1,334m to SEK 8,463m during the quarter.
The Group's portfolio assessed loans past due >60 days decreased by SEK 386m during the quarter to SEK 5,678m.
Discontinued operations
The net result from discontinued operations, was SEK -155m (-24). The main reason for the decline was a provision for credit losses in the amount of SEK 180m. It related to a syndicated loan to the Bell Group Ltd, now in liquidation, that dated back to 1986; before SEB's acquisition of BfG Bank in 1999. The consortium of 20 banks was sued by the liquidators for the value of collateral granted in 1990. The consortium is planning an appeal process at the High Court in Australia.
The Swedish krona strengthened. The EUR rate was 4 per cent lower than at the end of the second quarter and 9 per cent lower than at 30 September 2011. The impact from the foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the income statement was:
| Q3-12 | Q3-12 | Jan - Sep 2012 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| SEK m | vs. Q3-11 | vs. Q2-12 | vs. Jan-Sep 2011 |
| Total income | - 222 | - 181 | - 162 |
| Total expenses | 127 | 101 | 98 |
| Net credit losses | 5 | 5 | 4 |
| Operating profit | - 90 | - 75 | - 60 |
The first nine months
Operating profit for the first nine months amounted to SEK 11,576m (12,180). Profit before credit losses increased with 10 per cent to SEK 12,238m (11,159). Net profit from continuing operations was SEK 9,035m (9,665).
Net profit (after tax), including the net result from discontinued operations, was SEK 8,548m (8,810).
Operating income
Total operating income amounted to SEK 29,186m (28,352), an increase of 3 per cent compared to the first nine months 2011.
Net interest income amounted to SEK 13,177m (12,583).
| SEK m | Jan-Sep | Jan-Sep | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2012 | 2011 | % | |
| Customer driven NII | 11,867 | 11,107 | 7 |
| NII from other activities | 1,310 | 1,476 | -11 |
| Total | 13,177 | 12,583 | 5 |
Customer loans and deposits combined contributed an additional SEK 760m to net interest income compared with the first nine months 2011 as the average loan and deposit volumes were 6 and 15 per cent higher, respectively. The positive contribution from the volumes was somewhat reduced by lower customer deposit margins as short-term interest rates fell.
Net interest income from other activities was SEK 166m lower compared with the first nine months 2011. The decrease related primarily to increased volumes of long-term funding and the effect from strengthening the asset quality in the liquidity portfolio which has been upgraded with higher quality bonds. During 2012, SEB's credit spreads as an issuer tightened which reduced funding costs.
Net fee and commission income amounted to SEK 9,905m (10,538). Commissions and fees from mutual funds decreased primarily because the average volumes of assets under management were 4 per cent lower compared to the corresponding period of 2011. Turnover on the Nordic stock exchanges was low which affected commission income. Less customer activity in the current macroeconomic environment also lowered the fee and commission income compared to corresponding nine months 2011, within the areas of lending, mergers and acquisitions and new issues. There was an offsetting effect from strong card fees driven by high customer activity and new and renewed contracts.
Net financial income amounted to SEK 3,597m (2,959). During the first nine months 2011 there was a market valuation loss on the GIIPS-portfolio in the amount of SEK 399m. Income in the trading operations, which is customer driven, as well as in the other business areas, continued to display a high level of stability.
Net life insurance income increased by 18 per cent to SEK 2,597m (2,205). Around half of the increase stemmed from higher investment returns in the traditional portfolios. The other half from improved unit-linked income related to the acquisition of SEB Life (formerly Irish Life) International.
Net other income was negative at SEK -90m for the period compared to an income of SEK 67m for the corresponding period last year. Improved outcome in the fair value adjustment in hedge accounting was offset by decreased realised gains on securities sales and lower dividend income this year.
Operating expenses
Total operating expenses decreased by 1 per cent to SEK 16,948m. Other expenses, mainly IT and consultant costs, decreased 11 per cent compared to the corresponding ninemonth period last year. This was partially offset by a 2 per cent increase in staff costs.
Credit losses and provisions
Provisions for credit losses amounted to SEK 661m corresponding to a credit loss level of 7 basis points in the continuing operations. In the corresponding period 2011 there was a reversal of SEK 1,018m. The provisions for credit losses for the Group, excluding the Baltic region, equaled a credit loss level of 5 basis points. The provisions in the Baltic region equaled a credit loss level of 25 basis points.
Non-performing loans in the Group, excluding the Baltic region, fell by 24 per cent during the first nine months of 2012 reflecting the continued strong asset quality as well as an effect from selling the Ukrainian retail operations. In the Baltic region non-performing loans fell by 17 per cent as loans continue to be written off against reserves.
Individually assessed impaired loans decreased by SEK 2,627m to SEK 8,463m since year-end 2011.
The Group's portfolio assessed loans past due >60 days decreased by SEK 805m since year-end 2011 to SEK 5,678m.
The total reserve ratio for individually assessed impaired loans and the total non-performing loans coverage ratio at 74 and 67 per cent, respectively, increased somewhat from yearend.
Income tax expense
Total income tax expense amounted to SEK 2,541m (2,515) corresponding to an effective tax rate of 22 per cent (21).
Discontinued operations
The net result from the discontinued operations improved to a loss of SEK 487m (855m). The divestment of both the German and Ukrainian retail operations were finalised during 2012. Further closing work will be performed through 2013.
Business volumes
Total assets as at 30 September 2012 amounted to SEK 2,402bn. One year ago, total assets amounted to SEK 2,359bn and they were SEK 2,363bn at year-end 2011. Loans to the public increased to SEK 1,238bn, up SEK 47bn from a year ago and SEK 52bn from year-end. Deposits from the public amounted to SEK 812bn, down SEK 2bn from a year ago and down SEK 50bn from year-end. Deposit volumes were temporarily increased during the uncertain times around yearend 2011.
SEB's total credit portfolio increased to SEK 1,735bn (1,711). The household volumes increased by SEK 40bn. The combined corporate and property management portfolios grew by SEK 18bn.
At 30 September 2012, assets under management amounted to SEK 1,271bn (1,241). This was at par with the SEK 1,261bn year-end level. The net inflow of assets during the first nine months 2012 was SEK 22bn which was partially offset by a decrease in value of SEK 12bn. Assets under custody amounted to SEK 4,788bn (4,321), which was an increase from SEK 4,490bn at year-end.
Fixed-income securities
SEB's net position in fixed-income securities for investment, treasury and client facilitation purposes amounted to SEK 240bn (259).
Five per cent of the total holdings, SEK 11.3bn, was GIIPSrelated (16). Of this, sovereign debt holdings amounted to SEK 0.3bn (sovereign debt is all related to Italy) and SEK 7.5bn, or 66 per cent, refer to Spanish covered bonds.
Of the total GIIPS holdings SEK 7.5bn were classified as Available-for-sale. Accumulated negative valuations for these holdings reduced book equity by SEK 1.3bn. SEK 0.6bn were classified as Held-for-trading for which valuations are reflected in Net financial income. The remaining SEK 3.2bn were classified as Loans and receivables.
Market risk
The trading business is customer flow-driven. This is confirmed by the fact that there were only two loss-making days during the first nine months of the year.
During the first nine months 2012, Value-at-Risk in the trading operations averaged SEK 167m. On average, the Group should not expect to lose more than this amount during a ten-day period, with 99 per cent probability.
Liquidity and long-term funding
SEB's loan-to-deposit ratio was 138 per cent (134), excluding repos and debt instruments. So far, SEK 84bn of new longterm funding was issued, exceeding the SEK 70bn of longterm debt that will mature this year.
The core liquidity reserve at 30 September amounted to SEK 352bn (308). The total liquid resources, including net trading assets and unutilised collateral in the cover pool, amounted to SEK 524bn (535). The Group's estimate of the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR), which is proposed to be included in the Swedish Basel III implementation from 2013, amounted to 154 per cent at quarter-end (95 at year-end). The USD and EUR LCR were both above 100 per cent.
Capital position
As the regulatory capital framework continue to be developing within the Basel committee, EU and Sweden, SEB maintains a holistic view on its capital situation.
The Basel II ratios were:
| Sep 2012 | Dec 2011 | |
|---|---|---|
| Core tier 1 capital ratio, % | 16.5 | 13.7 |
| Tier 1 capital ratio, % | 18.9 | 15.9 |
| RWA, SEK bn | 591 | 679 |
| Adjusted for supervisory transitional rules: | ||
| Core tier 1 capital ratio, % | 11.3 | 11.2 |
| Tier 1 capital ratio, % | 12.9 | 13.0 |
| RWA, SEK bn | 860 | 828 |
During 2012, SEB's applications for using advanced internal ratings based (IRB) models to calculate non-retail real estate and shipping risk-weighted assets were approved by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority. This resulted in a SEK 42bn and SEK 19bn decrease of RWA, respectively. The approvals constitute an independent recognition that SEB's risk assessment is a more precise measurement of underlying risks as SEB-internal specific and validated, rather than generic, risk parameters were used to calculate risk-weighted assets. The stronger Swedish krona resulted in a decrease of RWA of SEK 15bn since year-end.
During the third quarter, SEB called its outstanding dated subordinated debt issue in the amount of EUR 500m. A new issue of dated subordinated debt in the amount of EUR 750m was made in order to fulfill the future Tier 2 capital need. The net effect was an increase of the capital base of SEK 2bn.
Rating
SEB's long-term senior unsecured ratings are 'A1' (stable) 'A+' (stable) and 'A+' (stable) by Moody's, Standard & Poor's and Fitch, respectively.
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 characterised by uncertainty – while Nordic economies until now have been relatively robust. The policy measures globally to limit the risk of severe shocks to the real economy, have created more stability to the financial system. However, a marked slowdown of economic growth cannot be ruled out.
SEB assumes market, liquidity, operational and life insurance risks. The risk composition of the Group, as well as the related risk management, is further described in SEB's Annual Report.
The Swedish tailoring and earlier implementation of the international Basel III regulatory framework in relation to capital, liquidity and funding standards could have long-term effects on asset and liability management and profitability of the banking sector.
Proposed reduction of Swedish corporate tax
The Swedish government has proposed a reduction of the corporate tax rate from 26.3 per cent to 22 per cent from
If the proposal is implemented, the Group's effective tax rate next year will be approximately 20 per cent. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities related to Swedish income tax will then be revalued at 22 per cent, which is expected to have a positive one-off effect in the fourth quarter at just above SEK 1bn.
The government has also proposed that deductibility for interest payments within a group shall be limited. This potential rule change is not expected to affect the Group's tax expense.
Effects from future changes to accounting for pensions
The amendments to IAS 19, Employee Benefits, regarding defined benefits plans, were adopted by EU in June this year.
If the amendments would have been implemented as per 30 September 2012, the negative effect on equity would have been approximately SEK 6.7bn. The effect before tax would

have been approximately SEK 9.1bn. The amounts are based on updated assumptions for the pension obligation and current values for the plan assets.
The treatment in terms of capital adequacy is not yet determined.
Realignment of management accounting 2012
During the year SEB has continued to align the framework for capital and liquidity management in order to be compliant with the upcoming Basel III regulation for capital, liquidity and funding expected to be implemented in Sweden during 2013. SEK 16bn more capital was allocated to the divisions from the central function during the first quarter 2012. In addition, internal funds transfer prices have been adjusted to more fully reflect the cost of funding and buffers of liquidity required going forward. As a result, divisional lending margins on loans to customers are lower compared to 2011, all else equal. Further refinements are likely during the remainder of 2012.

Review report
We have reviewed this report for the period 1 January 2012 to 30 September 2012 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 Accounts 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 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 International Standards on Auditing, ISA, 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 Accounts Act for Credit institutions and Securities Companies regarding the Group, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act for Credit institutions and Securities Companies, regarding the Parent Company.

Comments on the first nine months
In Sweden the operating profit increased with 12 per cent compared to the first nine months last year. SEB kept its strong market position within lending and deposit volumes. The net interest income level was unchanged year-on-year despite a lower interest rate environment. Business volumes increased, mainly in the retail segment, and funding costs were lower. SEB was the leading underwriter of corporate bonds in the overall Nordic market. Costs decreased in line with increased operational efficiency. SEB was appointed SME bank of the year in Sweden by Finansbarometern.
In Norway, 2012 started with a strong increase in activity and income level and operating profit in local currency increased by 16 per cent. The third quarter activity was high. There were a high number of corporate bond issues and SEB was involved in many of the transactions. A strong position in the oil- and offshore-sector contributed to optimism in related business areas.
In Denmark, strong results within cards, life and the trading related activities contributed to an increase in operating profit in local currency of 23 per cent compared to last year.
In Finland, operating profit in local currency increased compared to the previous year by 17 per cent. Trading and Capital Markets and in particular Structured Finance continued the positive trend.
In Germany, operating profit in local currency fell by 7 per cent. The Wealth Management result was weak partially due to redundancy costs. The Merchant Banking result was in line with 2011.
In Estonia, profit before credit losses for the nine months compared to last year increased by 13 per cent. In Latvia and Lithuania the corresponding increase was 2 per cent, respectively. In all countries significant credit provisions were released in 2011. (See also the information on the Baltic division).

The responsibility for the Ukrainian bank was moved to Merchant Banking during the third quarter – thus the increased number of FTEs.
• Continued inflow of new customers stemming from the strategic investments
- Slowdown in customer activity in the current economic environment lowered operating income
- Asset quality remained resilient
Comments on the first nine months
The third quarter showed a typical seasonal slowdown in customer activity across all business areas. The uncertainty in the Euro-zone continued and the focus on the Nordic region as a safe haven increased. SEB's position of strength continued to improve and SEB attracted more customers and business proposals in all geographies.
Operating income for the first nine months decreased by 4 per cent compared with 2011 reflecting lower customer activity. Operating expenses decreased by 5 per cent compared with 2011 as a result of the continued focus on efficiency and the lower activity level. The scalable platforms in Germany and the Nordic region provided room for additional efficiency. Operating profit amounted to SEK 5,832m, a 3 per cent decrease year-on-year. Asset quality remained strong.
Corporate Banking continued the stable performance in the third quarter even though both M&A and Equity Capital Market activities remained at low levels. Corporate lending volumes in SEK decreased for the first quarter since 2009 and the trend towards more bond issuance continued. SEB was the leading underwriter of corporate bonds in Norway and
Sweden and brought a number of Nordic issuers to the euromarket.
Global Transaction Services was active in all segments, though the lower interest rate levels pressured net interest income. Assets under custody were SEK 4,788bn (4,490 at year-end 2011 and 4,989 at the end of the second quarter). Trading and Capital Markets continued to show earnings stability stemming from its flow-oriented focus, however, the seasonal slowdown affected customer activity. Capital Markets improved within debt capital markets in line with the increased activities in the bond markets. Earnings from SEB Enskilda Equities traditional activities were under pressure despite the fact that it is one of the leading franchises across the Nordic and Baltic exchanges.
The strategic growth investments in the Nordic region and Germany continued to progress and in total 276 new customers have established relationships with the Bank since 2010 when the growth initiative was initiated. The increased diversification of both geographies and customers enhanced SEB's stable business mix.
Retail Banking
The Retail Banking division offers banking and advisory services to private individuals and small and medium-sized corporate customers in Sweden, as well as card services in the Nordic countries.

• Household customers continued to increase lending and deposit volumes with SEB
- SEB was named best SME bank in Sweden and strengthened its franchise with 6,500 new customers during 2012
- 57 per cent increase in operating profit
Comments on the first nine months
The positive development in the Retail division continued also in the prolonged unstable European economic market conditions.
The divisional operating profit showed significant strength and operating income increased by 13 per cent compared to the first nine months of 2011. The efficiency focus led to a decrease of operating expenses by 5 per cent.
In Retail Sweden, there was a 23 per cent increase in net interest income compared to the first nine months of 2011. Net credit losses increased slightly but the asset quality continued to strengthen both from improvements in the existing portfolio and in new business volumes.
Key business volumes increased. The small and mediumsized enterprise (SME) lending within Retail Sweden grew by 9 per cent to reach SEK 124bn. The volume of household mortgages grew by SEK 25bn year-to-date to SEK 339bn. The customer deposits grew by SEK 14bn year-to-date to SEK 210bn. However, the current stock market uncertainty put further pressure on the attractiveness of savings products such as equities, mutual funds and structured products. This contributed to a negative trend for savings commissions.
As part of SEB's relationship banking model, new features were launched to enhance remote support for our customers, such as ATM search functions and support for savings planning. The number of visits to our mobile banking application reached approximately 2.9 million in September. There was a solid inflow of home bank customers, reaching 432,500. The growth in the SME segment continued. 6,500 new active payment service customers were added during the first nine months to reach a total of 128,000.
The Card business had a strong third quarter with an operating profit of SEK 300m and a record 9-month result of SEK 832m, 14 per cent higher than last year. The main drivers are increased turnover and lower funding costs in Norway, Denmark and Finland. Customer activity remained high; there were several new and renewed corporate contracts as well as a positive development of the co-brand portfolio. Costs are slightly up due to the implementation of a new co-brand agreement in Norway. Underlying costs and credit losses were stable.

• Lower operating profit due to lower average asset value and lower performance and transaction fees
• Continued strong confidence from Private Banking customers: net new AuM SEK 18bn and 775 new clients
• Private Banking opened a new branch office in London
Comments on the first nine months
After an uncertain first half year in the equity market the third quarter has developed somewhat more positively and at the end of the period, the equity market was at the same level as one year ago. Risk appetite and customer activity in equity related products were however still low due to the uncertainty in the stock markets.
Within Institutional Clients, products offering alternatives to the stock exchange market were still in focus. Within the fund offering, products such as corporate bonds with short duration and interest rate funds gained ground.
With a continued uncertain equity market Private Banking focused on maintaining a high level of proactivity towards clients. In the first nine months of the year, Private Banking had an inflow of 775 new customers and net new volumes of assets under management amounted to SEK 18bn. In the international private banking area, an increased interest from non-Nordic clients was noted. In order to improve customer
service, a Private Banking office was opened in London during the quarter. The high equity market volatility led to somewhat changed investor behavior i.e. clients tend to avoid high risk assets even when markets recover.
Operating profit for the first nine months of 2012 was down by 11 per cent compared to the same period last year due to lower base commission and performance and transaction fees. Base commissions were down 6 per cent due to lower average market values on assets under management during the period. The stock markets have not fully recovered in 2012 compared to 2011. Performance and transaction fees amounted to SEK 87m for the first nine months 2012 (177). Operating expenses decreased compared to 2011 despite redundancy costs in 2012.
Total assets under management amounted to SEK 1,176bn (1,175 at year-end and 1,174 in September 2011).

• Maintained leadership in the Swedish unit-linked market
- Increasing demand for bundling of financial services with pensions and insurance solutions
- Operating profit increased
Comments on the first nine months
An official report from the Swedish government was presented during the third quarter which supports increased transferability of pension savings. Many activities within SEB were undertaken to enhance the bancassurance model to best serve customers in the growing transfer market. Sales and advisory services have been refined to better meet customer needs, for instance custom-made offers to different customer segments. The online solutions developed for the Danish market continues to be well received and local sales development was positive.
Operating profit increased by 9 per cent compared to last year. Unit-linked income, which represents 58 per cent of total income and 83 per cent of total sales, increased by 6 per cent, due to the acquisition of SEB Life International. Income from traditional and risk insurance increased by 18 per cent with improvements in all business areas. The increase in expenses compared to last year is entirely related to SEB Life International.
In Sweden, SEB Trygg Liv continued to be the market leader within unit-linked insurance. Recoveries of provisions in the traditional business were SEK 29m (-79). Operating profit decreased by 3 per cent compared to last year. Unitlinked income decreased due to lower fees in relation to fund values. The total fund value by the end of September increased from a year ago but the average value for the nine month period was nearly the same as last year.
Operating profit in Denmark increased by 16 per cent compared to last year due to higher return in traditional portfolios.
Operating profit for International improved significantly from last year's SEK 27m to SEK 157m. The improvement was mainly due to higher investment returns in the traditional portfolios.
The premium income relating to new and existing policies amounted to SEK 20bn which was 8 per cent lower than last year. The weighted sales volume of new policies decreased by 10 per cent to SEK 29bn and reflected lower volumes in the Swedish endowment market. The share of corporate paid policies increased to 76 per cent (66).
The unit-linked fund value increased from year-end by SEK 14bn to 200bn. The net inflow was SEK 4bn and the increase in value was SEK 10bn. Total net assets under management amounted to SEK 436bn.

Comments on the first nine months
The Baltic economies displayed resilience in 2012. GDP growth was well above the average for the Euro area and consumer confidence trended higher.
Baltic loan volumes of SEK 96bn grew 2 per cent in local currency during the first nine months, with relatively stable lending margins. Corporate loans grew in all countries and Estonia's mortgage portfolio continued to grow, as confidence returned to the housing market.
Total deposit volumes of SEK 64bn were 3 per cent higher in local currency than at the year-end 2011 and 19 per cent higher than at September 2011. Deposit margins continued to decline in each of the Baltic countries, reflecting the low prevailing interest rate environment.
Operating income of SEK 2,361m was 3 per cent higher than in the corresponding period of 2011, when adjusted for the strengthened Swedish krona. Operating income for the Baltic banking business (excluding the real estate holding
companies) increased by 2 per cent in the third quarter when adjusted for currency factors.
The operating profit of SEK 804m (2,428) included net credit losses of SEK 202m (net recovery of SEK 1,453m). Operating profit before credit losses increased by 3 per cent year-on-year. Non-performing loans declined by 17 per cent since year-end 2011 and the NPL coverage ratio increased slightly to 60 per cent.
SEB's Baltic real estate holding companies held assets with a total volume of SEK 1,950m (998), with a corresponding operating loss in the first nine months of SEK -67m (-40).
In the third quarter, SEB's client offering was improved by the launch of Baltic Online, a pan-Baltic cash management tool that allows corporate clients to manage all SEB Baltic bank accounts via one interface. SEB was ranked the most client friendly bank in Estonia by TNS EMOR and the SEB brand was ranked among the most appreciated brands in Latvia.

Overall Basel II risk-weighted assets ('RWA'), before the effect of transitional flooring, decreased with 13 per cent or SEK 88bn since year-end. The main reasons were implementation of a non-retail real estate LGD model in the parent company; SEK -42bn, implementation of a shipping LGD model in the parent company; SEK -19bn, transition to IRB foundation for a minor retail mortgage portfolio in the parent company; SEK -2bn, RWA process changes; SEK -10bn, currency effect, i.e. a stronger Swedish krona; SEK -15bn, volume changes; SEK 15bn, risk class migration; SEK 3bn, riskweight changes; SEK -6bn, market risk change; SEK -7bn, operational risk change; SEK -2bn, other minor changes; SEK -3bn.
Un-floored Basel II RWA was 45 per cent lower than Basel I RWA. 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 a small number of insignificant portfolios.
The forthcoming regulatory directive, CRD IV, establishes explicit minimum levels for common equity Tier 1 and Tier 1 capital and requires banks to hold more and higher quality capital. In addition, the Swedish government has proposed stricter common equity capital ratio requirements than Basel III; 10 per cent from 2013 and 12 per cent from 2015 (with capital and RWA defined according to fully implemented CRD IV / Basel III framework). Risk weighted assets will mainly be affected by an additional so called credit value adjustment requirement for OTC-derivatives, new requirements for exposures towards central counterparties, and an increase in risk weights for exposures towards financial institutions.
SEB actively monitors the regulatory development and takes part in consultations via national and international industry organisations.
The following table summarises average risk weights (Risk-Weighted Assets, RWA, divided by Exposure At Default, 'EAD') for exposures where RWA is calculated following the internal ratings based (IRB) approach. Repo and securities
lending 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) Average risk-weight |

|---|---|---|
| Institutions | 16.5% | 19.2% |
| Corporates | 42.4% | 51.6% |
| Securitisation positions | 32.9% | 34.9% |
| Retail mortgages | 10.9% | 12.1% |
| Other retail exposures | 36.7% | 37.5% |
The decline in corporate risk-weights is mainly due to implementation of a non-retail real estate LGD-model and a shipping LGD-model in the parent company.
