President's comment
The world economy continues to move in the right direction with business sentiment gradually improving. However, the recovery is still not strong enough to provide immunity to economic, financial and political setbacks and the long-term implications of the US debt situation remain to be seen. Central banks' liquidity support still plays a key role for real growth, even in the US where activity levels have been more robust than in Europe. Although the risk for worst-case scenarios for the eurozone is fading, the long-term economic challenges for the region remain. This is in contrast to Asia where the prerequisites for economic growth are more evident.
Higher profitability and capital generation
SEB's third quarter operating profit of SEK 4.6bn was up 20 per cent compared to a year ago. As an advisory and activity driven bank, SEB benefits from a more positive corporate sentiment. This was evidenced by higher net interest income as well as higher net fee income. Operating income grew by 7 per cent, while costs were 3 per cent lower.
We continue to grow in our core segments and attract an increasing number of new customers. Outside of Sweden we have again demonstrated the strength in our Nordic and German corporate and institutional platform as the credit portfolio has grown by 12 per cent since year-end and income by 10 per cent compared to the third quarter 2012. In Private Banking, SEB continued to attract strong net inflows of assets under management - year to date SEK 23bn.
Asset quality remained high. The level of net credit losses was 8 basis points in this quarter and non-performing loans decreased. SEB capital position strengthened further resulting in a Common Equity Tier 1 ratio (Basel III) of 15.0 per cent. Return on equity was 13.4 per cent in the quarter and 12.8 per cent for the first nine months of 2013.
Deepened customer relationships
In Merchant Banking, we continue to deepen relationships with our existing customers by growing ancillary business. In the third quarter, demand for corporate and investment banking services increased while customer activity within Markets reflected seasonal slowdown. Corporate lending volumes increased marginally at the same time as SEB continued to support customers in tapping the bond market. One recent example is the Green Bond that the City of Gothenburg issued during September. Green Bonds support the financing of projects mitigating effects of climate change and here SEB has a pioneer position globally.
In Retail Banking, we offer customers a full service offering with high accessibility in different channels making it easier for customers to interact with us. Our telephone bank which offers 24/7 personal advisory services in 23 languages plays a key role, as do digital channels. During the autumn we launched a new mobile application as well as an upgraded internet bank. Today we attract close to 55,000 more SMEs and 60,000 more private individuals as full service customers than five years ago.
More regulation may not be the right regulation
A key take-away from the last five years has been the value of a strong balance sheet in turbulent times. Ample liquidity and strong capital ratios ensure resilience to future possible system shocks as well as capacity to invest in and support long-term relationships. Swedish banks have been at the forefront and have significantly strengthened their balance sheets.
The ambition of the new regulatory framework is to establish efficient interfaces between supervision at the macro and micro levels. The ambition is admirable but it remains difficult to assess the impact on the real economy. The framework is still not finalised and it thus remains difficult for customers to fully grasp the effects on their businesses. The world is complex with high interconnectivity and interdependencies and, as such, great care must be taken to avoid unintended consequences. Gradual implementation and evaluation of new regulations are necessary.
Our strategic direction remains firm
We strive to facilitate our customers' business opportunities. The guiding principle for us in developing our business is and has been long-term relationships as the foundation for long-term profitability. The continued progress of SEB's franchise and financials is a testament to the relevance of this strategy to our customers and owners.

Third quarter isolated
Operating profit amounted to SEK 4,618m (3,857). Net profit from continuing operations was SEK 3,753m (2,989). Net profit (after tax), including the net result from discontinued operations, amounted to SEK 3,753m (2,834).
Operating income
Total operating income amounted to SEK 10,324m (9,681). Net interest income increased to SEK 4,759m (4,466).
| Q3 | Q2 | Q3 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| SEK m | 2013 | 2013 | 2012 |
| Customer-driven NII | 4 286 | 4 127 | 4 005 |
| NII from other activities | 473 | 550 | 461 |
| Total | 4 759 | 4 677 | 4 466 |
The customer-driven net interest income increased by SEK 281m, or 7 per cent, compared with the third quarter in 2012. Higher volumes offset the negative effect from lower short-term rates. Compared with the previous quarter, the customer-driven net interest income increased by SEK 159m, or 4 per cent. There were small positive margin and volume effects.
Net interest income from other activities was virtually flat compared with the corresponding quarter 2012 and was SEK 77m lower than the previous quarter. Funding costs decreased in the third quarter 2013, as well as yields on the liquidity portfolio and other interest-earning securities.
Net fee and commission income amounted to SEK 3,735m (3,192), an increase of 17 per cent year-on-year and a decrease of 2 per cent since the previous quarter. Compared to the third quarter 2012, higher corporate activity in the debt and syndication markets and increased investment banking activity, though still on a low level, supported income generation. In the previous quarter Securities Finance related income was seasonally high and Wealth Management recorded high performance fees. Customer activity displayed normal seasonality and was lower in the third quarter.
Net financial income amounted to SEK 825m (1,091), a decrease of 24 per cent compared to both the second quarter and year-on-year. Customer activity and market volatility were lower in the third quarter 2013 and there was high uncertainty about the macroeconomic development, especially in the United States, which affected trading activities and the Treasury related result.
Net life insurance income decreased to SEK 794m (861), but increased by 15 per cent compared to the second quarter. The negative impact from higher long-term interest rates and declining stock markets on the life portfolios during the second quarter was partially reversed in the third quarter.
Net other income amounted to SEK 211m (71).
Comparative numbers - in parenthesis - for the income statement refer to the corresponding period 2012. Business volumes are compared to 30 September 2012 unless otherwise defined.
Operating expenses
Total operating expenses amounted to SEK 5,453m (5,639), a decrease of 3 per cent year-on-year.
Credit losses and provisions
Provisions for credit losses amounted to SEK 267m (186). The credit loss level was 8 basis points.
Non-performing loans decreased by SEK 2.3bn in the third quarter and amounted to SEK 10.2bn. Write-offs of nonperforming loans to reserves in Latvia and Lithuania increased. One year ago, the non-performing loans amounted to SEK 14.6bn.
Individually assessed impaired loans amounted to SEK 5.2bn and the portfolio assessed loans past due >60 days amounted to SEK 4.5bn.
Income tax expense
Total income tax expense was SEK 865 (868), which corresponded to an effective tax rate of 19 per cent.
Discontinued operations
The net result from discontinued operations was SEK 0m (-155).
Other comprehensive income
Other comprehensive income increased to SEK 2,356m (154). Pension obligations decreased with SEK 2,455 (-99). The main reason was an increase of the market-derived discount rate for calculating the Swedish pension obligations from 2.8 to 3.8 per cent (3.1). The discount rate in Germany remained unchanged.
The strengthening of the Swedish krona had a negative impact from translation of foreign operations, compared to a positive impact in the second quarter.
The first nine months
Operating profit increased by 15 per cent to SEK 13,118m (11,396).
Net profit from continuing operations was SEK 10,573m (8,902). Net profit (after tax), including the net result from discontinued operations, amounted to SEK 10,556m (8,415).
Operating income
Total operating income amounted to SEK 30,523m (29,186). Net interest income increased to SEK 13,895m (13,177).
| Jan - Sep | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SEK m | 2013 | 2012 | % | |||
| Customer-driven NII | 12 480 | 11 869 | 5 | |||
| NII from other activities | 1 415 | 1 308 | 8 | |||
| Total | 13 895 | 13 177 | 5 |
The customer-driven net interest income increased by SEK 611m, or 5 per cent, compared to the first nine months 2012. This was due to volume growth and stable net interest margins despite the lower short-term rates. Average volumes of loans to and deposits from the public for the first nine months grew by 3 and 7 per cent, respectively.
Net interest income from other activities increased by SEK 107m year-on-year. Funding costs decreased. The yield in the liquidity portfolio and on other interest-earning assets decreased to a lesser degree.
Net fee and commission income was SEK 10,793m (9,905). Compared to the first nine months 2012, the average value of assets under management and stock exchange turnover increased. In particular, higher corporate activity in the debt and syndication markets and increased investment banking activity increased lending and syndication fees by SEK 518m in the same period.
Net financial income decreased to SEK 2,866m (3,597). The main reason for the reduction was the unusually high valuation gains on the liquidity portfolio in 2012. In addition, lower volatility in the uncertain markets resulted in lower income in 2013.
Net life insurance income amounted to SEK 2,365m (2,597). Unit-linked income was up 5 per cent, while the higher long-term interest rates had a negative impact on traditional life portfolios.
Net other income amounted to SEK 604m (-90). In 2012, there were realised losses from the sale of securities. In 2013, there were instead gains from the sale of securities as well as positive hedge accounting effects.
Operating expenses
Total operating expenses decreased by 3 per cent compared to the first nine months 2012, to SEK 16,626m. Staff costs were 3 per cent lower and the number of employees was 5 per cent lower. Other expenses fell by 6 per cent.
Credit losses and provisions
Provisions for credit losses amounted to SEK 814m (661). The credit loss level amounted to 8 basis points for the first nine months. The provisions for credit losses for the Group, excluding the Baltic region, equaled a credit loss level of
6 basis points for the first nine months. The provisions in the Baltic region increased compared with the same period 2012 and corresponded to a credit loss level of 32 basis points for the first nine months.
Non-performing loans amounted to SEK 10.2bn, which was 30 per cent lower than one year ago, and which reflected a continued strong asset quality.
Individually assessed impaired loans decreased by SEK 3.2bn compared to one year ago while the portfolio assessed loans past due >60 days decreased by SEK 1.1bn.
Income tax expense
Total income tax expense was SEK 2,545m (2,494), which corresponded to an effective tax rate of 19 per cent, in line with the estimated effective tax rate of 20 per cent for the full year 2013.
Discontinued operations
The net result from discontinued operations was SEK -17m (-487).
Other comprehensive income
The net result from other comprehensive income was SEK 2,584m (-316). The net revaluation of the defined benefit pension plan in Sweden, in accordance with IAS 19, had a positive effect of SEK 3,140m (-445). Pension plan assets in Sweden appreciated. At the same time, the market-derived discount rate for Swedish pension obligations increased to 3.8 per cent (3.1), with a corresponding decrease in pension obligations.
The net effect from the valuation of balance sheet items that may subsequently be reclassified to the income statement, e.g. cash-flow hedges and available-for-sale financial assets, was a negative contribution of SEK 556m (in 2012, positive 129m).
Business volumes
Total assets at 30 September 2013 amounted to SEK 2,569bn (2,399). Loans to the public increased to SEK 1,282bn, an increase of SEK 43bn during the last 12 months and of SEK 45bn since year-end.

Deposits from the public amounted to SEK 923bn, up by SEK 61bn and SEK 111bn, from year-end and one year ago respectively.
SEB's total credit portfolio amounted to SEK 1,845bn (1,735). At year-end, the credit portfolio amounted to SEK 1,777bn. Compared with 30 September 2012, household volumes increased by SEK 32bn. The combined corporate and property management portfolios increased by SEK 67bn in the same period.
At 30 September 2013, assets under management amounted to SEK 1,427bn (1,271). This was an increase from the year-end level of SEK 1,328bn. The net inflow of assets for the first nine months 2013 was SEK 18bn and the market value increased by SEK 81bn. Assets under custody amounted to SEK 5,814bn (4,788).
Market risk
The trading business is customer flow-driven. This is confirmed by the fact that there were only four loss-making days during the first nine months. During the first nine months of 2013, Value-at-Risk in the trading operations averaged SEK 148m. On average, the Group is not expected to lose more than this amount during a period of ten trading days, with 99 per cent probability.
Liquidity and long-term funding
SEB's loan-to-deposit ratio was 130 per cent (138), excluding repos and debt instruments. During the first nine months, SEK 48bn of long-term funding matured and SEK 89bn was issued. 64 per cent of the new issuance was covered bonds.
The core liquidity reserve at the end of September 2013 amounted to SEK 438bn (348). The total liquid resources, including net trading assets and unutilised collateral in the cover pool, amounted to SEK 702bn (623). As of 1 January 2013, the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority requires a Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR), according to rules adapted for Sweden, of 100 per cent in total and in EUR and USD, separately. At the end of the period, the LCR was 114 per cent (154). The USD and EUR LCRs were 123 and 239 per cent, respectively.
SEB's internal structural liquidity measure, the Core Gap which measures the proportion of stable funding in relation to illiquid assets, increased to 118 per cent reflecting the Bank's commitment to a stable funding base. SEB's structural liquidity measure according to the Swedish Central Bank in its Financial Stability Reports has been in the mid-eighties in the last years. The Basel Committee's Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) is still a crude measure in its current form and it remains subject to review internationally.
Capital position
During 2013, SEB continued to align the framework for capital allocation to the Basel III regulation. This was done by allocating more capital, in the amount of SEK 23bn, to the divisions from the central function in the first quarter 2013.
Both the core Tier 1 and the Tier 1 capital ratios improved in the first nine months. The growth of risk-weighted assets for credit risk was offset by a decrease in market risk RWA.
In May 2013, the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority decided to implement a 15 per cent risk weight floor on Swedish mortgages. The floor will be implemented as a socalled Pillar 2 charge and the capital ratios which are reported according to Pillar 1 (in the adjacent table), will not be
affected. SEB has already allocated additional capital to the residential mortgage business in line with the stipulated riskweight floor.

| Basel II | |||
| Core tier 1 capital ratio, % | 17.4 | 15.1 | 16.5 |

| Basel III | |||
| Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio, %* | 15.0 | 13.1 | 13.3 |
* Estimate based on SEB's interpretation of future regulation.
Based on an average risk-weight of 7.9 per cent for the Swedish residential mortgage lending under Pillar 1 at 30 September 2013, the additional Pillar 2 risk-weighted assets would amount to SEK 28bn. The Swedish Common Equity Tier 1 requirement of 12 per cent (from 2015) means that SEB, at 30 September, would be required to hold additional Common Equity Tier 1 capital in the amount of SEK 3.3bn, which would correspond to approximately 58 basis points on the Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio under Pillar 1.
Rating
SEB's long-term senior unsecured ratings are 'A1' (stable outlook) by Moody's and 'A+' (stable outlook) by Fitch. Standard & Poor's SEB rating of 'A+' has a negative outlook due to S&P's negative outlook on the macroeconomic situation in Sweden.
Long-term financial targets
SEB's long-term financial targets are to:
- pay a yearly dividend that is 40 per cent or above of the earnings per share,
-
target a Common Equity Tier 1 ratio (Basel III) of 13 per cent, and
-
generate return on equity that is competitive with peers. This means that the Bank in the long-term aspires to reach a return on equity of 15 per cent.
As of 30 September 2013, the Common Equity Tier 1 ratio (Basel III) was 15.0 per cent and the return on equity for the first nine months was 12.8 per cent.
Risks and uncertainties
During the autumn, the uncertainty around a potential United States default on its issued securities as well as the Federal Reserve Bank's potential reduction of its liquidity support to financial markets have characterised the markets. The short-, medium- and long-term direct and indirect effects are difficult to assess. It once again underlines that 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. The global policy measures to limit the risk of severe shocks to the economy have created more stability to the financial system. However, a prolonged period of weak economic growth cannot be ruled out.
SEB assumes credit, market, liquidity, operational and life insurance risks. The risk composition of the Group, as well as the related risk management, are further described in SEB's Annual Report.
The international Basel III regulatory framework in relation to capital, liquidity and funding standards could have longterm effects on asset and liability management and profitability of the banking sector. These aspects remain to be decided and implemented in Sweden, while the EU has adopted the regulatory framework.
Proposed reduction of Finnish corporate tax
The Finnish government has proposed a reduction of the corporate tax rate from 24.5 per cent to 20 per cent from 1 January 2014. The parliamentary resolution is expected in December this year.
If the proposal is implemented, the Group's deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities subject to Finnish income tax will then be revalued at 20 per cent, which is expected to have a positive one-off effect of approximately SEK 250m in the fourth quarter 2013. The effect going forward is small.
Stockholm, 24 October 2013
The President declares that the Interim Accounts for January-September 2013 provide a fair overview of the Parent Company's and the Group's operations, their financial position and results and describe material risks and uncertainties facing the Parent Company and the Group.

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, the Supplementary accounting rules for groups (RFR 1) from the Swedish Financial Reporting Board have been applied. The Parent company has prepared its accounts in accordance with Swedish Annual Act for Credit Institutions and Securities Companies, the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority's regulations and general guidelines (FFFS 2008:25) on annual reports in credit institutions and securities companies and the supplementary accounting rules for legal entities (RFR 2) issued by the Swedish Financial Reporting Board.
As of the 2013 financial year, IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement comes into effect for application in the EU. The standard contains joint principles for fair value measurement of most assets and liabilities at fair value, and for which information about fair value must be disclosed. The application of IFRS 13 does not affect the reported values for financial instruments to any material degree. In accordance with IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements the presentation of Comprehensive Income has been amended so that items that can be reclassified to profit or loss later are separated from the items that cannot. In addition to this, amendments in IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures and the introduction of IFRS 13 require further disclosures about off-setting of financial instruments and financial instruments at fair value. In all other material aspects, the Group's and the Parent company's accounting policies, basis for calculations and presentations are unchanged in comparison with the 2012 Annual Report.
In 2012, SEB opted for early adoption of the amendments in IAS 19 Employee Benefits for defined benefit plans. More information regarding the restatement of comparable figures can be found on page 33 in the Annual Accounts 2012 and in note 54 of the Annual Report 2012.
Review report
We have reviewed this report for the period 1 January 2013 to 30 September 2013 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.

* Repurchase of covered bonds has had a negative effect on Net other income of SEK 402m in Q4 2012. Repurchase of subordinated debt gave a net positive effect of SEK 201m in Q2 2013.
** As a result of the strategic review of the IT development portfolio, non-used parts of the portfolio have been derecognised as intangible assets. The cost, SEK 753m, arising from this has been recognised in Q4 2012.
*** The positive income tax expense in Q4 2012 is a result of the reduction of the Swedish corporate tax rate, which has had a one-off effect of SEK 1.1bn from revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Macroeconomic development
Nordic and eurozone GDP development and SEB forecast (year-on-year % change)
- In Sweden, SEB's biggest market, proactive fiscal policy initiatives and rising employment will support growth in 2014.
- In Denmark, inflation has fallen and housing prices have stabilised helping household confidence rise to a five-year high.
- In Norway, rapidly growing capital spending will slow in 2014 but exports and robust real household incomes will fuel growth.
- In Finland, low capacity utilisation, rising unemployment and a tight fiscal policy are holding back capital spending and consumption.
- The eurozone economy is stabilising, but political challenges in the region continue.
Key interest rate development and SEB forecast
- The European central bank is expected to supply more liquidity via a new round of long-term loans. The refi rate is expected to be cut from 0.50 to 0.25 per cent in December 2013.
- Sweden's central bank is expected to raise its repo rate for the first time at the end of 2014.
- Norway's central bank is expected to hike its deposit rate by 50 basis points in the second half of 2014.
Exchange rate development and SEB forecast
- During the third quarter 2013, the Swedish krona strengthened against both the euro and the US dollar, by 1 and 5 per cent, respectively.
- SEB expects a stronger Swedish krona. The euro rate is expected to reach 8.40 at the end of 2014.
Baltic GDP development and SEB forecast
(year-on-year % change)
- The economies in the Baltic countries are in balance.
- Estonian GDP growth slows in 2013 due to declining public investments and lower exports and will rebound somewhat in 2014.
- Latvian GDP growth is the highest within the EU, at 4 per cent this year. Latvia is approved to join the eurozone in 2014.
- Lithuanian GDP growth is expected to remain around 4 per cent and the country is likely to convert to the euro in 2015.
SEB's forecast reflects the view of the Bank's macroeconomists.

Comments on the first nine months
Total operating profit in Sweden increased by 29 per cent and represented 54 per cent of the Group. Operating income increased by 10 per cent year-on-year and all divisions had a higher income level. Continuous growth in both private and corporate lending resulted in higher net interest income year– on-year. Corporate transactions and custody and mutual funds generated higher fee income. The cost base increased by 1 per cent but the number of employees continued to decrease.
In Norway, operating income in 2013 started out lower than 2012, but improved significantly in the third quarter. Market volatility and uncertainty affected the level of income year-to-date, but with strong net interest income and fees and commissions, operating income was in line with the 2012 level. Total costs were reduced by 13 per cent which led to an operating profit at approximately the same level as year-todate 2012.
In Denmark, operating profit increased by 5 per cent, in local currency, compared to the same period last year. The
positive performance was mainly driven by increased corporate customer activities across the divisions; taking on new customers as well as extended business volume with existing customers. Merchant Banking and Wealth Management performed particularly well. Total costs decreased by 7 per cent in local currency.
In Finland, operating profit increased by 22 per cent in local currency. Customer activity increased in Merchant Banking and there was a positive cost efficiency effect for both Merchant Banking and Wealth Management.
In Germany, operating profit was virtually unchanged. Overall, the German corporate banking market position improved and investment banking products were in demand. Wealth Management income was affected by difficult market conditions, however operating income was only slightly below the corresponding period 2012.
In Lithuania, operating profit increased while it decreased in Estonia and Latvia. See also the information on the Baltic division.

• Higher corporate customer activity level and solid asset quality
- Facilitated the first Green Bond issue in the Nordic countries for the City of Gothenburg
- Return on business equity at par with third quarter 2012 despite significantly higher capital allocation
Comments on the first nine months
After a slow start of the year, the third quarter showed an increased demand for corporate and investment banking services, but also a seasonal slowdown in customer activity within Markets. The positive market sentiment from the second quarter was more muted in the third quarter due to increased political uncertainty in the Middle East and the United States.
The corporate customers increased their activity levels, however the typical seasonal slowdown lead to decreased activity levels from financial institutions. Mergers, acquisitions and equity capital market activities continued to pick up from thin volumes at the beginning of the year. Corporate lending volumes increased marginally at the same time as corporate customers continued to utilise SEB to tap the bond market.
Operating income for the first nine months increased by 3 per cent compared with 2012 reflecting a stronger demand for corporate and investment banking services. Net interest income increased in line with the credit exposure. Net fee and commission income increased as a reflection of the pick-up in customer activity especially in the second and third quarter. Operating expenses decreased by 3 per cent compared with the first nine months of 2012. Operating profit increased by 9 per cent year-on-year, and by 32 per cent compared to the third quarter 2012. Asset quality remained strong with low net credit losses.
The second phase of growth in the Nordic and German markets continued according to plan: to deepen relationships with existing customers and to continue to attract new clients. During the first nine months of 2013, 74 new customers were added, in line with the progress since 2010.
Some 50 per cent of corporate refinancing takes place in the corporate bond markets, which is a larger portion than before the crisis. SEB has continued to invest in new professionals to bring a larger number of issuers to the market and attract more investors both in the primary as well as secondary market. One recent example is the Green Bond that the City of Gothenburg issued during September.

Comments on the first nine months
The strategic initiative to grow the business continued during the third quarter and activities on both the private and corporate market remained high. This increased operating profit to SEK 4,128m (3,180).
Net interest income amounted to SEK 5,709m for the first nine months (5,296). Growth of residential mortgage lending decelerated during the third quarter while portfolio margins were slightly up. 13,200 new home bank customers were added. Costs continued to trend down as cost efficiencies were realised and the cost/income ratio now trends below 0.50. The credit losses amounted to SEK 382m indicating a continued solid asset quality (333).
SEB continued to develop its offering for the digital channels making it easier for all customers to interact with the bank. An upgraded smartphone application for private

Relations with the corporate customers intensified during the third quarter and corporate lending grew by 10 per cent since the beginning of the year to SEK 167bn. 7,400 new fullservice customers chose SEB as their house bank.

- Improved nine-month return on business equity
Comments on the first nine months
The operating profit of SEK 1,180m increased by 39 per cent compared with the same period last year. Base commissions, at a total of SEK 2,029m (1,996), increased mainly due to a positive stock market development resulting in higher average asset values. Margins were slightly lower. Performance and transaction fees amounted to SEK 122m (87), mainly increasing due to higher performance fee from discretionary mandates.
Operating expenses decreased by 9 per cent compared to last year to SEK 1,897m (2,074). Compared to the second quarter 2013, net fee and commission income dropped due to seasonal effects relating to lower transaction fees and customer activities.
During the third quarter, SEB was awarded a number of strategically important institutional mandates, both in Sweden and internationally. SEB's newly launched closed-end funds were well received on the market. In addition, institutional customers increased their investments in SEB's other niche
alternative products. Overall, mainly due to structural changes, there was a net outflow of SEK 7bn from institutions since year-end.
SEB continued to improve the customer offering for mutual funds, where SEB's equity and mixed funds had positive inflows. This was complemented by carefully selected external funds, in which there was still significant inflow especially into external high-yield products.
Private Banking continued to attract new customers; 723 new clients (775), as well as SEK 23bn in new volumes since the beginning of the year (21). The launch of a new exclusive card for Private Banking clients in the Swedish market, "SEB's Selected", was well received by clients and strengthened the holistic offering further.
The division's total assets under management amounted to an all-time high SEK 1,341bn (1,176). This was an increase of 9 per cent from year-end.

- Third quarter return on business equity improved
Comments on the first nine months
SEB's position in the annual survey "Marknadsindikatorn" among insurance intermediaries in Sweden, improved to the top-three. SEB was number one on the Swedish market for unit-linked insurance and held the same position for the prioritised segment of unit-linked occupational pension. In Lithuania, a loan payment insurance product was launched in September. The product is now offered in all three Baltic countries and has been well received by the customers.
The operating profit for the first nine months amounted to SEK 1,341m (1,491). The second quarter, where the traditional portfolios were negatively affected by rising long-term interest rates and declining stock markets, was followed by the opposite market development in the third quarter. The unitlinked income developed positively and improved by 5 per cent to SEK 2,102m during the first nine months. The increase in income was mainly a result of higher fund values. The unitlinked business continues to provide a major part of the total income. For the first nine months, the share was 63 per cent. The decline in total income compared to last year, was mainly
due to a lower result in the traditional portfolios and in the risk business. Expenses were virtually unchanged compared to last year. Expenses before commissions to sales channels decreased by 4 per cent or SEK 55m to 1,322m.
Total premium income relating to new and existing policies continued to increase compared to the same period last year and amounted to SEK 23bn, which was 14 per cent higher. The improvement was primarily a result of growth in the Irish operations. Premiums also increased slightly in Denmark and in the Baltics, but decreased in Sweden.
The weighted sales volume of new policies decreased by 1 per cent from last year and amounted to SEK 29bn. Unitlinked business represented 88 per cent of sales (83) and the share of corporate paid policies was 72 per cent (76).
The total fund value in unit-linked amounted to SEK 224bn which is 24bn higher than a year ago and up 20bn since yearend. In the first nine months, net inflow was SEK 5bn and the appreciation in value was SEK 15bn or 7 per cent. Total assets under management amounted to SEK 463bn.

Comments on the first nine months
The Baltic countries have been the fastest-growing economies in the EU since 2011. Growth in Estonia decelerated somewhat in 2013, while growth in Latvia and Lithuania remained fairly strong. The Baltic GDP growth was driven by stable and slowly rising private consumption.
Baltic loan volumes amounted to SEK 100bn (96). Of this, 16, 18 and 24 per cent are corporate loans in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, respectively. Mortgage loans grew by 1 per cent in Estonia and decreased by 1 per cent in Lithuania and by 6 per cent in Latvia. Lending margins remained relatively stable across the portfolio with slightly higher margins on new loans.
Baltic deposit volumes amounted to SEK 70bn (64). With low deposit margins prevailing in each of the Baltic countries, net interest income declined 1 per cent in local currencies
year-on-year. However, net interest income increased by 7 per cent in the third quarter (in local currency).
Total operating expenses were 6 per cent lower than the first nine months of 2012, excluding the currency effect. The operating profit improved by 5 per cent year-on-year, and by 15 per cent in the third quarter. Non-performing loans declined by 42 per cent in SEK year-on-year.

The result within Net financial income is presented on different rows based on type of underlying financial instrument. Changes in the Treasury result are due to changes in interest rates and credit spreads. The net effect from trading operations is fairly stable over time, although affected by seasonality, but shows volatility between lines.
In the third quarter 2013 structured products offered to the public (such as equity index linked bonds) generated a positive effect of approximately SEK 640m in Equity related instruments (the effect in the previous quarter was negative at SEK 200m) and a corresponding negative effect in Debt related instruments (positive in the second quarter).
Year to date the positive effect from structured products offered to the public was approximately SEK 510m (360) in Equity related instruments and a corresponding negative effect in Debt related instruments.

1) Venture capital activities designated at fair value through profit and loss.
2) Equity index link bonds designated at fair value through profit and loss.
Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified in a fair value hierarchy according to the level of observability of prices or inputs used in a valuation technique. As part of the fair value measurement credit value adjustments (CVA) are incorporated into the derivative valuations for OTC-derivatives on a portfolio basis. The valuation techniques and inputs used for the fair value measurement are described in detail in the Annual Report 2012.
Financial assets - policyholders bearing the risk, Investment properties and Liabilities to policyholders - investment contracts are included in the table which is a change compared to the Annual Report 2012.
Risk control has the overall responsibility for classifying assets and liabilities as being in level 1, 2 or 3. The valuation process is the same for financial instruments in all levels. Market Risk Control is responsible for validating the prices used for valuation of financial instruments. In case of disagreement, there is an escalation process in place, whereby the product area head or equivalent can submit an escalation to the relevant pricing / valuation committee. The Valuation committee covers topics such as valuation of illiquid instruments, model validation findings, analysis of changes in fair value measurements and shocks on level 3 assets. The chairman of the Valuation Committee is appointed by the Head of Market Risk Control and the committee has permanent members from Divisional risk management, Group Finance and Market Risk Control.
Fair value gains and losses recognised in the income statement are included in the Net financial income, Net life insurance income and Net other income.
Transfers between levels may occur when there are indications that market conditions have changed, e.g. a change in liquidity. There have been no significant transfers between level 1 and level 2 during the period however there has been a reclassification of assets from level 2 to level 1 in the amount of SEK 10bn due to enhanced classification within the insurance business. There were changes in Level 3 financial instruments mainly due to valuation effects and from purchases and sales of Equity, Debt and Derivative instruments. In addition there has been a reclassification in the amount of SEK 2.2bn (11) of Equity instruments due to enhanced classification, from level 2 to level 3, within the insurance business.
Sensitivity of Level 3 assets and liabilities to unobservable inputs
The table below illustrates the potential Profit or Loss impact of the relative uncertainty in the fair value of assets and liabilities measured at fair value that for their valuation are dependent on unobservable inputs. The sensitivity to unobservable inputs is assessed by altering the assumptions to the valuation techniques, illustrated below by changes in index-linked swap spreads, implied volatilities, credit spreads or comparator multiples. It is unlikely that all unobservable inputs would be simultaneously at the extremes of their ranges of reasonably possible alternatives.
The largest open market risk within Level 3 assets and liabilities is found within the insurance business.There have been no significant changes of sensitivity during Q3 2013.

Financial assets and liabilities subject to offsetting or netting arrangements – SEB Group
The table shows financial assets and liabilities that are presented net in the statement of financial position or with potential rights to off-set associated with enforceable master netting arrangements or similar arrangements, together with related collateral. The Net amounts show the exposure in the case of normal business as well as in the events of default or bankruptcy.
Financial assets and liabilities are presented net in the statement of financial position when SEB has legally enforceable rights to set-off, in the ordinary cause of business and in the case of bankruptcy, and intends to settle on a net basis or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously. Repos with central counterparty clearing houses that SEB has agreements with and client receivables and client payables are examples of instruments that are presented net in the statement of financial position.
Financial assets and liabilities subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar arrangements that are not presented net in the statement of financial position are arrangements that are usually enforceable in the case of bankruptcy or default but not in the ordinary course of business or arrangements where SEB does not have the intention to settle the instruments simultaneously.
Assets and liabilities that are not subject to offsetting or netting arrangements, i.e those that are only subject to collateral agreements, are presented as Other instruments in balance sheet.

The deduction for investments in insurance companies, which was earlier made from the total capital base, has been changed from 2013 so that half is deducted from Tier 1 capital and the remaining half from Tier 2 capital.
The valuation of the Swedish defined pension plan resulted in an equity increase, which strengthened the core Tier 1 and Tier 1 capital ratios. The total capital ratio was not affected since the pension surplus, less tax and the amount of pension assets that are unrestricted for Bank use, is deducted from the total capital base. Under the Basel III framework, this surplus is deducted from the Common Equity Tier 1 capital .
On 30 September 201 3 the parent company's core Tier 1 capital was SEK 93 ,039m ( 8 8 ,093 at September 2012) and the reported core Tier 1 capital ratio was 13 . 1 per cent (13. 8 at September 201 2 ) .

RWA development
Overall Basel II risk-weighted assets (RWA) before the effect of transitional flooring decreased by 2 per cent, or SEK 12bn, since year-end.

Un-floored Basel II RWA was 50 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 Basel III framework
The Basel III framework, in the form of the CRD IV/CRR regulatory package, was adopted by the European Parliament in June 2013. The new rules apply from 1 January 2014 and are now in the process of being transposed into Swedish legislation. Due to the Swedish legislative process the implementation of CRD IV, the directive part of the CRD IV/CRR package, is likely to be delayed and the expected implementation date for this part is 1 July 2014. The CRR part is a regulation and hence applicable law in all member states when adopted by the EU.
CRD IV covers the implementation of buffer requirements, Pillar 2, etc. while CRR contains the minimum requirements and all technical calculation standards. The CRR rules establishes explicit minimum levels for Common Equity Tier 1 and Tier 1 capital and requires banks to hold more and higher quality capital. RWA will mainly be affected by an additional so-called credit value adjustment requirement for OTCderivatives, new requirements for exposures on central counterparties, and an increase in risk weights for exposures on financial institutions.
In 2011, the Swedish government communicated stricter capital requirements than those stipulated under Basel III; a 12 per cent Common Equity Tier 1 requirement from 2015 (on a Basel III/CRD IV fully implemented basis).
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. Repos 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 |

| Securitisation positions | 35.5% | 34.7% |
| Retail mortgages | 9.7% | 10.4% |
| Other retail exposures | 38.6% | 37.4% |
On 21 May 2013 the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority decided to implement a 15 per cent floor for Swedish mortgage risk weights on portfolio level. The risk weight floor will be handled under Pillar 2 and does not affect the risk weights under Pillar 1.
