President's comment
Following the elevated market anxiety after the bail-out of Cyprus in the first quarter, economic data turned slightly more positive this quarter. Clearly, the central banks' unprecedented liquidity support has mitigated the risks in the real economy. This is slowly impacting the eurozone, even though the long-term political challenges remain for the structural reforms necessary to bring down debt levels. The Federal Reserve's indication to reduce its liquidity support as the economy recovers is therefore fundamentally a good sign. In SEB's main market, the Nordic region, the Swedish economy has rebounded somewhat although the export sector is still hampered by the low growth in Europe. In early July, the Council of the European Union invited Latvia as the second Baltic country to join the euro. Latvia must be acknowledged for the substantial measures undertaken to restructure the economy since the sharp downturn in 2008.
All in all, we see a cautiously more positive business sentiment among our customers with activity levels picking up.
Stronger franchise with more full-service customers
SEB reported an operating profit of SEK 4.8bn in the second quarter, up 29 per cent versus the first quarter. The strong result partly reflects the normal spring seasonality, but more importantly, it is a testimony to the investments we have made over the past years in our franchise and broader customer base. Corporate customers in the Nordic countries and Germany are inclined to do more ancillary business with us and we continue to attract new customers; 52 large corporates in the first six months. The number of full service customers in the SME and private segment in our Swedish retail banking business has also grown; since yearend by 6,100 and close to 10,000 respectively. In Private Banking, we attracted SEK 16bn in net new money during the first half of this year.
Higher profitability
We continue to increase our operating leverage and thus SEB's return on equity increased to 12.5 percent for the first six months of 2013. Operating income grew by 4 per cent to SEK 20.2bn. Costs were down by 3 per cent to SEK 11.2bn and remained on target. Both asset quality and capital generation remained strong. The Common Equity Tier 1 ratio (Basel III) was 14.2 per cent.
Regulatory framework yet to be finalised
Around the end of the quarter a host of announcements on the new regulatory framework was made public including revised leverage levels from the Basel Committee as well as a report on regulatory consistency of risk-weighted assets and bail-in debt levels within the EU Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive. The EU also finally passed the new directive on capital. In Sweden, the FSA decided on 15 per cent risk-weights on mortgage lending.
While we embrace the joint efforts to create a resilient global financial sector, the regulatory framework has grown more and more complex with different adaptations at the international, regional and national levels. The risk for the cumulative regulatory effects hampering economic growth cannot be ruled out.
Long-term direction remains
SEB's long-term direction as the leading Nordic bank for large corporates and institutions and top universal bank in Sweden and the Baltic countries remains. We never compromise on our balance sheet strength to remain a credible long-term financial partner. We have dedicated people in our bank and the whole SEB team stays true to our strong belief that long-term customer relationships drive competitive and sustainable profitability.

Basel III, June 2013
Second quarter isolated
Operating profit amounted to SEK 4,783m (3,889). Net profit from continuing operations was SEK 3,808m (3,056). Net profit (after tax), including the net result from discontinued operations, amounted to SEK 3,791m (2,970).
Operating income
Total operating income amounted to SEK 10,648m (9,916). Net interest income increased to SEK 4,677m (4,530).
| Q2 | Q1 | Q2 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| SEK m | 2013 | 2013 | 2012 |
| Customer-driven NII | 4 127 | 4 067 | 3 959 |
| NII from other activities | 550 | 392 | 571 |
| Total | 4 677 | 4 459 | 4 530 |
The customer-driven net interest income increased by SEK 168m, or 4 per cent, compared to the second quarter in 2012. Higher volumes offset the negative effect from a full one per cent average lower short-term rates. Compared to the first quarter 2013, the customer-driven net interest income increased by SEK 60m, or 1 per cent, due to volume growth. Net margins were relatively stable reflecting stable short-term rates.
Net interest income from other activities decreased by SEK 21m compared with the corresponding quarter 2012 and was SEK 158m higher from the previous quarter. Funding costs decreased which reflected SEB's enhanced position as a strong issuer. In the previous quarter, the Bank pre-financed roll-overs in the second quarter which increased funding costs in the first quarter.
Net fee and commission income amounted to SEK 3,811m (3,449), an increase of 10 per cent year-on-year and 17 per cent during the quarter. The activity level overall was somewhat higher than a year ago. Combined with normal seasonality, e.g. in securities finance and the card business, income increased compared to the previous quarter.
Net financial income decreased by 4 per cent to SEK 1,087m (1,127). Compared to the first quarter, net financial income increased by 14 per cent. The contribution from the divisions increased to SEK 1.2bn, which is in line with the average level during the last years.
Net life insurance income decreased by 16 per cent compared to the second quarter 2012, to SEK 689m. Higher long-term interest rates and declining stock markets had a negative impact on the life portfolios during the quarter.
Net other income amounted to SEK 384m (-11). During the quarter, SEK 1bn of subordinated debt was repurchased which gave a net positive effect of SEK 201m. There were also gains from sales of securities and dividend income.
Operating expenses
Total operating expenses amounted to SEK 5,585m (5,754), a decrease of 3 per cent year-on-year.
Credit losses and provisions
Provisions for credit losses amounted to SEK 291m (269). The credit loss level for the total operations was 9 basis points. The provisions for credit losses for the Group, excluding the Baltic region, equalled a credit loss level of 7 basis points in the quarter. The provisions in the Baltic region increased and corresponded to a credit loss level of 31 basis points in the quarter.
Non-performing loans were unchanged from the first quarter and amounted to SEK 12.5bn, reflecting that asset quality continued to be strong. One year ago, the nonperforming loans amounted to SEK 16.4bn. In the second quarter, the declining trend in non-performing loans continued, but was partly offset by the weakening Swedish krona.
Individually assessed impaired loans amounted to SEK 7.2bn and the portfolio assessed loans past due >60 days amounted to SEK 4.9bn.
Income tax expense
Total income tax expense was SEK 975m (833) which corresponded to an effective tax rate of 20 per cent, in line with the estimated effective tax rate for the full year 2013.
Discontinued operations
The net result from discontinued operations was SEK -17m (-86).
Comparative numbers - in parenthesis - for the income statement refer to the corresponding period 2012. Business volumes are compared to 30 June 2012 unless otherwise defined.
The first half year
Operating profit increased by 13 per cent to SEK 8,500m (7,539).
Net profit from continuing operations was SEK 6,820m (5,913). Net profit (after tax), including the net result from discontinued operations, amounted to SEK 6,803m (5,581).
Operating income
Total operating income amounted to SEK 20,199m (19,505). Net interest income increased to SEK 9,136m (8,711).

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| NII from other activities | 942 | 851 | 11 | |||
| Total | 9 136 | 8 711 | 5 |
The customer-driven net interest income increased by SEK 334m, or 4 per cent, compared to the first six 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 grew by 6 and 3 per cent, respectively.
Net interest income from other activities increased by SEK 91m. Funding costs decreased. The yield in the liquidity portfolio decreased to a lesser degree.
Net fee and commission income was SEK 7,058m (6,713). Capital markets income and lending arrangement fees increased while advisory fees remained low.
Net financial income amounted to SEK 2,041m (2,506). The majority of the reduction is due to valuation gains on the liquidity portfolio in 2012. In addition, lower volatility resulted in lower income in 2013. Income in the trading operations, which is customer driven, continued to display a high level of stability with increased activity in the debt capital markets business.
Net life insurance income amounted to SEK 1,571m (1,736). Higher long-term interest rates and declining stock markets during the second quarter had a negative impact on traditional life portfolios. Income from unit-linked policies grew by 2 per cent.
Net other income increased to SEK 393m (-161) due to a net positive effect of SEK 201m from repurchased subordinated debt in 2013 and realised losses from the sale of securities classified as Available for sale in 2012.
Operating expenses
Total operating expenses decreased by 3 per cent compared to the first half year 2012, to SEK 11,173m. Staff costs were 2 per cent lower and the number of employees 5 per cent lower. Other expenses fell by 6 per cent.
Credit losses and provisions
Provisions for credit losses amounted to SEK 547m (475). The credit loss level amounted to 8 basis points for the first six 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 six months. The provisions in the
Baltic region increased compared with the same period 2012 and corresponded to a credit loss level of 35 basis points for the first six months.
Non-performing loans amounted to SEK 12.5bn, which was 24 per cent lower than one year ago.
Individually assessed impaired loans decreased by SEK 2.6bn compared to one year ago while the portfolio assessed loans past due >60 days decreased by SEK 1.2bn.
Income tax expense
Total income tax expense was SEK 1,680m (1,626) which corresponded to an effective tax rate of 20 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 (-332).
Business volumes
Total assets at 30 June 2013 amounted to SEK 2,596bn (2,370). Loans to the public increased to SEK 1,290bn, an increase of SEK 42bn during the last 12 months and of SEK 54bn since year-end.

Deposits from the public amounted to SEK 898bn, up by SEK 36bn and SEK 39bn, from year-end and one year ago respectively.
SEB's total credit portfolio increased to SEK 1,858bn (1,743). At year-end, the credit portfolio amounted to SEK 1,777bn. Household volumes increased by SEK 22bn during the first six months. The combined corporate and property management portfolios grew by SEK 66bn in the same period, of which the currency effect was SEK 10bn.
At 30 June 2013, assets under management amounted to SEK 1,387bn (1,261). This was an increase from the year-end level of SEK 1,328bn. The net inflow of assets for the first half of 2013 was SEK 18bn and the market value increased by SEK 41bn. Assets under custody amounted to SEK 5,411bn (4,989).
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 six months. During the first half of 2013, Value-at-Risk in the trading operations averaged SEK 159m. 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 134 per cent (131), excluding repos and debt instruments. During the first half year, SEK 41bn of long-term funding matured and SEK 58bn were issued. 73 per cent of the new issuance was covered bonds.
The core liquidity reserve at the end of June 2013 amounted to SEK 411bn (339). The total liquid resources, including net trading assets and unutilised collateral in the cover pool, amounted to SEK 686bn (537). 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 (108). The USD and EUR LCRs were 184 and 159 per cent, respectively.
SEB's internal structural liquidity measure, the Core Gap which measures the proportion of stable funding in relation to illquid assets, has been stable above 110 per cent in the last years 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
The core Tier 1 capital ratio improved while the Tier 1 capital ratio decreased in the first six months. This was mainly due to a regulatory change to deduct investments in insurance companies by half from Tier 1 and half from Tier 2 capital, rather than from the total capital base which was the rule applied until the end of 2012. SEB's reported capital ratios at year-end 2012 were negatively impacted by the transition effect from the implementation of the amendments to IAS 19 Employee benefits for defined benefit plans, an unrealised effect of SEK 7.9bn.
During 2013 SEB continued to align the framework for capital allocation to the Basel III regulation. As a consequence, SEB allocated more capital, in the amount of SEK 23bn, to the divisions from the central function in the first quarter 2013.

Basel III
Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio, %* 14.2 13.1
*SEB's estimate based on current knowledge of future regulation.
In May 2013, the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority decided to implement a 15 per cent floor on the Swedish mortgage portfolio risk-weights. The floor will be implemented as a so-called 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 floor risk-weight.
As of 30 June , based on an average risk-weight of approximately 8 per cent for the Swedish residential mortgage lending under Pillar 1 and the Swedish Common Equity Tier 1 requirement of 12 per cent (from 2015), SEB would be required to hold additional Common Equity Tier 1 capital in the amount of approximately SEK 3bn. This corresponds to approximately 50 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) 'A+' (negative outlook) and 'A+' (stable outlook) by Moody's, Standard & Poor's and Fitch, respectively.
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 June 2013, the Common Equity Tier 1 ratio (Basel III) was 14.2 per cent and the return on equity for the first six months 12.5 per cent.
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. 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.
Stockholm, 15 July 2013
The Board of Directors and the President declare that the Interim Accounts for January-June 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 significant 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 June 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.

*Excluding centralised Treasury operations
**Profit before credit losses increased in Latvia by 15 per cent and in Lithuania by 9 per cent, in Estonia there was a decrease with 7 per cent.
- Sweden increased to a 53 per cent share of Group operating profit due to higher customer activity
- Further strengthened corporate franchise in the Nordic countries and Germany
Comments on the first six months
Sweden's share of the Group's operating profit increased by 6 percentage points compared to the first six months 2012, to 53 per cent. Lending growth in both the private and corporate market drove the stronger net interest income. During spring the market activity was higher and a number of corporate transactions increased fee income. The cost base was stable with lower IT expense and lower staff costs as the number of staff decreased.
In Norway, the business with existing and new customers increased even at the lower level of economic activity. After a slow start of the year income increased, but did not reach the strong 2012 level. Markets and Investment Banking showed a strong development though. With focus on efficiency the costs were lower.
In Denmark, operating profit was flat compared to the same period last year. Adverse market development in the second quarter impacted Life negatively, whereas corporate banking activity and Wealth Management performed
positively. Total costs decreased by 7 per cent in local currency.
In Finland, operating profit increased by 13 per cent. Merchant Banking maintained a high client activity level. Wealth Management improved operating profit by 18 per cent.
In Germany, operating profit increased by 18 per cent. The main driver was Markets' result and there was continued strong progress in Investment Banking. The low interest rate environment hampered Transaction Banking. Customer activity was high and approximately 20 new clients were added. Overall, SEB's position in the German corporate banking market improved. Operating profit in Wealth Management increased.
In each of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania both operating income and expenses were lower year-on-year. See also the information on the Baltic division.
Merchant Banking
The Merchant Banking division offers commercial and investment banking services to large corporate and institutional clients, mainly in the Nordic region and Germany. Customers are also served through an extensive international presence.

- Pick-up in customer activity and solid asset quality
- Disintermediation trend continued and SEB ranked #1 in Prospera's Debt Issuer survey in Sweden
- Higher operating income and operating profit in the second quarter
Comments on the first six months
The sovereign debt crisis is gradually fading away from the news tickers, which led to a more positive market sentiment throughout the first six months of 2013. Activity levels picked up, although from a low base, and spurred the customer franchise in the second quarter. SEB continued to strenghten its customer relationships across the Nordic region and in Germany. Customer surveys confirmed SEB's attractive offering. An example of this was a # 1 ranking in Prospera's annual debt capital markets issuers survey in Sweden.
The customer franchise continued to be characterised by corporate customers with solid balance sheets and low utilisation levels, and financial institutions with a continuous search for yield across all asset classes. Mergers, acquisitions and equity capital market activities picked up from thin volumes during the first quarter. 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 six months decreased by 3 per cent compared with the same period 2012. Net interest income was stable reflecting a stable credit exposure. Net fee and commission income increased as a reflection of the pickup in customer activity levels especially in the second quarter. Operating expenses decreased by 4 per cent compared with the first six months of 2012. Operating profit amounted to SEK 3,773m, representing a decrease of 1 per cent year-onyear, but an increase of 8 per cent quarter-on-quarter. Asset quality remained strong resulting in low net credit losses.
The second phase of growth in the Nordic and German markets continued according to plan. The work to enlarge the business with the new customers continued and there was a continued focus on acquisition of new clients. During the first six months of 2013, 52 new customers were added.
As some 50 per cent of corporate refinancing takes place in the corporate bond markets, SEB has invested in new professionals to ensure that SEB can bring a larger number of issuers to the market and attract more investors both in the primary as well as secondary market. These growth initiatives have given, and will result in, a stronger local franchise and more visibility in landmark transactions.

- 9,700 new private customers and 6,100 new corporate customers
- Net growth in savings related products
- 27 per cent increase in operating profit
Comments on the first six months
Retail Banking continued the positive trend from the first quarter despite the somewhat subdued macro environment. A strong operating income of SEK 5,962m (5,512) and cost focus led to an operating profit of SEK 2,630m for the first six months (2,065). The cost/income ratio decreased to 0.51 for the period. The credit loss level for the first six months was 10 basis points.
Retail Banking's strong result was primarily driven by strong net interest income and the continuous endeavours to grow the business with the existing customer base. Mortgage lending increased by 4 per cent during the first six months and the portfolio reached SEK 365bn. Portfolio margins were slightly up. Household customer deposits increased by SEK 2.9bn during the first six months.
The activity in the digital channels remained high and the number of visits in the mobile banking applications for private customers reached 4.4 million in June. For the first time the mobile banking applications outperformed the Internet bank in terms of number of customer interaction. In addition, mobile banking identification for the Internet bank was launched in June.
The strategic focus on the small and medium-sized corporate customers continued during the second quarter and intensified proactive work with customer relations resulted in 6,100 new full service customers for the first six months. Lending volumes increased by 6 per cent during the first six months and portfolio margins were up.
The Card business showed continued profit growth, primarily due to a stable funding situation and to efficiency initiatives. Turnover growth ensured stable income, even though margins were slightly lower. Credit losses declined.

- Higher average asset values and significant cost decrease
- Continued strength in Private Banking led to 545 new customers and SEK 16bn in new volumes
- Higher operating income and operating profit
Comments on the first six months
The operating profit of SEK 859m increased by 40 per cent compared with the same period last year. Income increased primarily from higher performance fees from discretionary mandates and amounted to SEK 120m (57). Base commissions were in line with last year, at a total of SEK 1,351m (1,353). Cost efficiency measures decreased operating expenses by 8 per cent to SEK 1,283m.
Customer interest in sustainability related products was high. During the second quarter a new product, the Microfinance fund, opened for institutional investors. It offers the clients a product with a social as well as a financial impact, that has a low correlation with other asset classes.
Both SEB and non-SEB managed funds contributed positively to an improved customer offer for SEB. Net inflows in externally managed funds increased to SEK 8bn.
Private Banking attracted 545 new clients as well as SEK 16bn in new volumes during the first six months of 2013. Both our new Family Office in Malmö, which provides services to high net worth families, and the newly opened London office were well received by customers.

1 ranking in Danish customer survey
- Premium income grew by 13 per cent
- Operating profit decreased, mainly due to lower income from the traditional life portfolios
Comments on the first six months
In Denmark, SEB Pension was again ranked first in the yearly customer survey conducted by Aalunds. The survey covers corporate clients with 10-499 employees. The online solutions in Denmark were developed further through the launch of a health portal for corporate clients. In Sweden, the importance of individual long-term savings is on the rise, which was underlined by several reports concerning the welfare sector.
After a solid first quarter, rising long-term interest rates and declining stock markets had a negative impact on traditional portfolios during the second quarter. The development of the unit-linked business remained stable. Operating profit for the first six months decreased by 14 per cent compared to last year. Unit-linked represents 63 per cent of total income and 88 per cent of sales. Income from unitlinked increased by 2 per cent whereas income from traditional and risk insurance decreased by 13 per cent. Expenses were virtually unchanged compared to last year.
In Sweden, Life continued to be one of the market leaders within the unit-linked segment. Recoveries of provisions in the traditional business were SEK 39m (26) and the entire provision is now recovered. Operating profit decreased due to lower income from traditional and risk insurance. The fund value related to the unit-linked segment amounted to SEK 144bn, which is 12bn higher than a year ago and up 6bn during the last six months.
Operating profit in Denmark decreased as a result of an unrealised value decline on investment assetsin traditional insurance and own account investments. In traditional insurance, the impact from the decline was amplified because the market rates were not symmetrical to the discount rate used for insurance liabilities. Therefore, the rising rates have not had the same positive impact from the revaluation of the insurance liabilities as the negative impact from the revaluation of assets.
Operating profit for International decreased mainly due to lower contribution from the Baltic operations. The result in the Irish operation was stable.
Total premium income relating to new and existing policies amounted to SEK 15.5bn which was 13 per cent higher than last year. The improvement is primarily a result of a strong growth in the Irish operation. Weighted sales volume of new policies decreased with 3 per cent from last year and amounted to SEK 19.7bn. The share of corporate paid policies was 72 per cent (74).
Total fund value in unit-linked amounted to SEK 217bn which is 22bn higher than a year ago and up 13bn since yearend. In the first half, net inflow was SEK 4bn and the appreciation in value was SEK 9bn or 4 per cent. Total assets under management amounted to SEK 455bn.

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 Q2 2013.

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.

Overall Basel II risk-weighted assets (RWA) before the effect of transitional flooring increased by 1.2 per cent, or SEK 7bn, since year-end.

Un-floored Basel II RWA was 49 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 is in the process of being incorporated into EU legislation through the CRD IV package for implementation 1 January 2014. Due to delays in the EU process, the planned implementation date of 1 January 2013 was not met and as a consequence, the Swedish transition rules, which limit the effect on the RWA, were extended to include 2013.
The CRD IV package 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 OTC-derivatives, new requirements for exposures on central counterparties, and an increase in risk weights for exposures on financial institutions.
In 2011, the Swedish government proposed stricter Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio requirements than under Basel III; 12 per cent from 2015 (with capital and RWA defined according to fully implemented CRD IV / Basel III framework). The new directive will need to be incorporated into Swedish law and the existing Swedish legislation has to be adapted to the EU regulation.
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) | 30 Jun | 31 Dec |
|---|---|---|
| Average risk-weight | 2013 | 2012 |
| Institutions | 17.4% | 15.9% |
| Corporates | 40.1% | 40.8% |
| Securitisation positions | 36.0% | 34.7% |
| Retail mortgages | 9.8% | 10.4% |
| Other retail exposures | 38.4% | 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.
