President's comment
In the third quarter we again experienced how vulnerable the world economy still is. Especially the European economic development is challenging despite massive measures from the ECB to support the real economy. Disappointing economic indicators in Germany including investor confidence decreasing 10 months in a row as well as continued concerns over France, has put the core of Europe firmly in the spotlight. The Nordic financial markets were impacted by the lower activity and we perceive hesitancy among corporate customers to raise activity levels. We continue to live in extraordinary times with very low or no inflation, ultralow interest rates and abundant central bank liquidity support in the euro zone and the US.
Meeting customer needs builds long-term profitability
Client activity increased in the first nine months, especially among our large corporate customers, but was impacted by the more subdued recovery and typical seasonal slowdown in the third quarter. All divisions improved operating income year-on-year in the third quarter as well as in the first nine months. Excluding the capital gain from the divestment of MasterCard shares, a pure financial transaction, operating profit for the first nine months was up 18 per cent. Return on equity was 13.3 per cent excluding MasterCard. The Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio was 16.2 per cent.
Merchant Banking recorded 18 per cent higher operating profit for the first nine months reflecting strong performance especially in Corporate & Investment Banking. As the leading Nordic corporate bank, we have been supporting our clients in the many IPOs and M&A transactions as well as providing advisory services. The low interest rates and low volatility in the financial markets affected Markets negatively, particularly in the fixed income area, while the equity business benefited from the high IPO activity.
Retail Banking increased its operating profit by 21 per cent in the first nine months. Customers continue to broaden their relationships with SEB and so far this year we have increased the number of private and SME full service customers by 16,400 to close to 625,000. The more subdued business climate is affecting SMEs as well however; demand for corporate credit is low.
In the long-term savings area, both Wealth Management and Life continued to attract net new assets under management. In the Baltic business, demand for corporate credit was continued low in Latvia and Lithuania. GDP growth has slowed in all three countries following the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Investments in infrastructure key to enhance the customer experience
Customer demands are changing rapidly. To meet customer needs for more global as well as userfriendly services we are actively striving for common solutions for financial infrastructure. In Sweden, the Swish-application for mobile payments is one example. This quarter, we entered into a partnership with Brown Brothers Harriman, a global leader in asset servicing, where financial institutions will be offered state of the art global custody functionality. This strengthens our position as the leading bank for financial institutions in the Nordic area.
Striking the right balance to avoid hampering real growth
In Sweden, the FSA in September took further steps to implement the European capital rules including deciding on a countercyclical buffer of one percent from 2015. In a few days, the ECB will publish the results from its Asset Quality Review and stress test, leading to more transparency on the European banking system. In mid-November, the G20 Brisbane summit is expected to provide more disclosure on regulation. I highly support the ambitions for a stable and more transparent banking system, but regulators need to take a holistic view on the consequences of all initiatives – old and new – so that the rules do not hamper banks in supporting the real economy to get back on track.
Investing for the future
Over the last weeks, we have announced a few senior management appointments in SEB. With my new management team, SEB is now taking the next steps as the relationship bank in our part of the world. We are investing and spending more time with our customers. To us in SEB, banking is all about having a long-term perspective and fully focusing on meeting customer needs at all times.

The Group
Third quarter isolated
Operating profit amounted to SEK 6,665m (4,618) including a one-time capital gain of SEK 1.3bn and net profit (after tax) amounted to SEK 5,473m (3,753).
Operating income
Total operating income amounted to SEK 12,653m (10,324). Net interest income increased by 9 per cent to SEK 5,172m (4,759).
| Q3 | Q2 | Q3 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| SEK m | 2014 | 2014 | 2013 |
| Customer-driven NII | 4 649 | 4 669 | 4 286 |
| NII from other activities | 523 | 274 | 473 |
| Total | 5 172 | 4 943 | 4 759 |
The customer-driven net interest income increased by SEK 363m, or 8 per cent, compared with the third quarter 2013. The decrease of SEK 20m compared with the second quarter 2014 is partially a result of the 50 basis points repo rate cut in July. It was counteracted by an increase related to financing of mergers and acquisitions and also improved lending margins.
Net interest income from other activities increased by SEK 50m compared with the corresponding quarter 2013. Compared with the second quarter there was an increase of SEK 249m due to short-term liquidity management, a positive replacement cost of long-term funding and the revised methodology for pricing the funding of mortgage loans in Sweden.
In the beginning of 2014 the internal funds transfer pricing methodology was adjusted to better reflect the duration of corporate and household deposits. The new pricing also mirrors revised regulatory requirements that demand high stability of deposits.
Net fee and commission income amounted to SEK 3,814m (3,735). Net fee and commission income developed positively, in retail and wealth management operations, reflecting an increased activity level in general and the appreciation of stock markets compared with the third quarter 2013. Compared with the second quarter, there was a decrease of SEK 397m due to normal third quarter seasonal effects, especially in the securities lending area.
Net financial income decreased to SEK 654m (825). Market volatilities were low and yield curves flat which led to lower activity levels in the financial markets, in particular within the fixed income business.
Net life insurance income increased by 4 per cent to SEK 829m (794).
Net other income amounted to SEK 2,184m (211). During the quarter there was a one-time capital gain from the sale of shares in MasterCard Inc. The holding dates back to when MasterCard was a member-owned organisation and the transaction will have no effect on the card operations. The
capital gain before tax was SEK 1.3bn. In addition, a number of venture capital deals leading to capital gains were closed.
Operating expenses
Total operating expenses amounted to SEK 5,495m (5,453). Compared with the previous quarter operating expenses were flat.
Credit losses and provisions
Net credit losses amounted to SEK 473m (267). Provisions were made for one specific problem loan in Denmark in which case the company's financial position has been consistently misrepresented in the certified financial accounts. The credit loss level was 13 basis points.
Non-performing loans increased to SEK 9,581m, of which individually assessed impaired loans amounted to SEK 5,433m, the portfolio assessed loans past due >60 days amounted to SEK 3,831m and restructured loans amounted to SEK 317m.
The total reserve ratio for individually assessed impaired loans and the NPL coverage ratio was 79 (83) per cent and 66 (69) per cent, respectively.
Tax expense
Total income tax expense was SEK 1,192m (865) which corresponded to an effective tax rate of 18 per cent. There was a one-time tax effect relating to the capital gain from the sale of MasterCard shares in the amount of SEK 182m.
Other comprehensive income
The other comprehensive income was negative at SEK -220m (2,356).
The net revaluation of the defined benefit pension plans had a positive effect of SEK 132m (2,455). The change from the third quarter last year is primarily driven by a change in the discount rate implemented in the third quarter 2013.
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 negative in the amount of SEK -352m (-99). One reason was that the market value of the MasterCard shares was reclassified into the income statement when the shares were sold.
Comparative numbers - in parenthesis - for the income statement refer to the corresponding period 2013. Business volumes are compared with 30 September 2013, unless otherwise stated.
The first nine months
Operating profit amounted to SEK 16,771m (13,118). Net profit (after tax) amounted to SEK 13,531m (10,556).
Operating income
Total operating income amounted to SEK 34,173m (30,523). Net interest income increased by 7 per cent to SEK 14,933m (13,895).

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

| Customer-driven NII | 13 844 | 12 480 | 11 | ||
| NII from other activities | 1 089 | 1 415 | -23 | ||
| Total | 14 933 | 13 895 | 7 |
The customer-driven net interest income increased by SEK 1,364m year-on-year. The increase was mainly driven by an increase in average lending volumes, and also by M&A related financing and improved lending margins. There was a small positive effect from increased deposit volumes while the deposit margins declined.
Net interest income from other activities decreased by SEK 326m compared with the corresponding period 2013. The change of methodology for the internal funds transfer pricing of deposits outlined on the previous page affected net interest income from other activities for the nine-month period.
Net fee and commission income amounted to SEK 11,753m (10,793). The increase of 9 per cent was due to higher activity in securities lending and increased investment banking activities. Custody and asset management fees increased as a result of higher volumes and asset values.
Net financial income decreased by 10 per cent to SEK 2,578m (2,866). While net financial income was lower, SEB's trading result in general was high, especially in the beginning of the year. The business area Markets within the Merchant Banking division grew operating income in total by 4 per cent year-on-year.
Net life insurance income amounted to SEK 2,491 (2,365). The increase was primarily a result of higher fund values, but also of higher premium volumes. Income in traditional and risk insurance products also improved compared to last year. There was a marked increase in the Danish life business and sales are increasing both in Sweden and Denmark.
Net other income was SEK 2,418m (604). There was a onetime capital gain from the sale of MasterCard Inc. shares in the amount of SEK 1.3bn, before tax. In addition, there were hedge accounting effects, other capital gains and dividend income.
Operating expenses
Total operating expenses amounted to SEK 16,352m, which was a decrease of 2 per cent year-on-year (16,626).
Operating expenses are in line with the previously communicated SEK 22.5bn cost cap.
Credit losses and provisions
Net credit losses amounted to SEK 1,014m (814). The credit loss level was 10 basis points (8).
Non-performing loans amounted to SEK 9,581m, a decrease by SEK 571m compared with a year ago.
Tax expense
SEB's income tax expense reflects that the business is conducted in various geographies. In Sweden, which constitutes 52 per cent of operating profit, the statutory tax rate is 22 per cent. Based on the current geographical earnings mix, including deferred tax accounting and tax exempt capital gains, the effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2014 was 19 per cent. Total income tax expense was SEK 3,240m (2,545).
The Court of Justice of the European Union recently decided, in case C-7/13 Skandia America Corporation, that services provided by a US head office to a Swedish branch are subject to VAT, when the latter belongs to a local Swedish VAT group. This ruling might have a negative impact on the VAT position of SEB in Sweden and some other EU jurisdictions. Further analysis and assessments are, however, required to determine the implications of the ruling for the group.
Discontinued operations
The net result from discontinued operations was 0 (-17).
Other comprehensive income
Other comprehensive income was SEK 545m (2,584). The net revaluation of the defined benefit pension plans had a negative effect of SEK -1,710m (3,140). The market-derived discount rate for the Swedish pension obligation was 3.0 per cent versus 3.8 at year-end 2013. Pension plan assets appreciated.
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 positive in the amount of SEK 2,255m (in 2013, it was negative at -556m). The valuation change was due to interest rates and spreads that decreased during the first nine months of 2014. During the same period 2013 the rates and spreads were increasing or stable. Further, the Swedish krona weakened during 2014.
Business volumes
Total assets at the end of the period were SEK 2,840bn (2,569). Loans to the public amounted to SEK 1,363bn, an increase of SEK 81bn since 30 September 2013 and SEK 60bn since year-end.

SEB's total credit portfolio (which includes both on- and off-balance sheet volumes) amounted to SEK 2,077bn (1,845). Year-on-year household volumes in the total credit portfolio increased by SEK 34bn and the combined corporate and property management portfolios increased by SEK 158bn.
Around 90 per cent of the total credit portfolio relates to the Nordic countries and Germany and 6 per cent to the Baltic countries. Net of external guarantees the exposure to Ukraine and Russia amounted to approximately SEK 1.6bn. SEB's business in Ukraine and Russia is focused on lending from SEB's local subsidiaries to local subsidiaries of the bank's core Nordic and German clients.
Deposits from the public amounted to SEK 1,045bn, an increase of SEK 122bn since 30 September 2013 and an increase in the amount of SEK 196bn since the end of 2013.

Since year-end, deposits from households increased by SEK 19bn and deposits from corporates increased by SEK 160bn. Short-term deposits from international asset managers increased by SEK 125bn and other corporate deposits increased by SEK 35bn.
At 30 September 2014, assets under management amounted to SEK 1,632bn (1,427). At year-end they amounted to SEK 1,475bn. The net inflow of assets since year-end was SEK 69bn and the market value increased by SEK 88bn. Assets under custody amounted to SEK 6,732bn (5,814).
Assets and liabilities held for sale
SEB signed an agreement to sell the card acquiring business Euroline AB to Nordic Capital in the second quarter of 2014. The sale price amounted to SEK 2.2bn. Accordingly, the external assets and liabilities relating to Euroline AB were reclassified as assets and liabilities held for sale in the balance sheet. The transaction will close during the fourth quarter this year. The operating profit from Euroline AB for the first nine months amounted to SEK 93m.
Market risk
The trading business is customer flow-driven. This is confirmed by the fact that there have been only two lossmaking days during 2014.
During the first nine months, Value-at-Risk (VaR) in the trading operations averaged SEK 98m. 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 122 per cent (130), excluding repos and debt instruments. During the first nine months, SEK 77bn of long-term funding matured and SEK 93bn was issued. 58 per cent of the new issuance constituted covered bonds, 32 per cent senior unsecured securities and 10 per cent subordinated debt.
The core liquidity reserve at the end of the period amounted to SEK 613bn (535). The total liquid resources, including net trading assets and unutilised collateral in the cover pool, amounted to SEK 840bn (717). The Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR), according to the rules adapted for Sweden by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority, must be at least 100 per cent in total and in EUR and USD, separately. At the end of the period, the LCR was 122 per cent (114). The USD and EUR LCRs were 299 and 112 per cent, respectively.
The Bank is committed to a stable funding base. SEB's internal structural liquidity measure, which measures the proportion of stable funding in relation to illiquid assets, Core Gap, was 122 per cent. The Basel Committee's Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) is still not finalised. An update of the proposal was published by the Basel Committee in January 2014. It is currently subject to consultation.
Rating
Fitch revised the outlook of SEB's long-term senior unsecured rating of A+ from stable to positive in June. It was the opinion of Fitch that SEB's profitability and risk profile is increasingly in line with AA- rated banks.
SEB's long-term senior unsecured ratings of A1 by Moody's and A+ by Standard & Poor's are on negative outlook. The reason is Standard and Poor's and Moody's view on the effects from the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive and the Single Resolution Mechanism regulation on financial institutions in the EU.
Capital position
As of 1 January 2014, the capital requirements under the EU CRR/CRD IV rules, so called Basel III, entered into force. The Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR) applies in EU countries. The Capital Requirements Directive (CRD) was implemented as Swedish law in August and interpreted by the Swedish FSA in September 2014. Refer to page 31 for details on SEB's capital position.
The following table shows the risk exposure amount and capital ratios according to Basel III.
| Sep | Dec | Sep | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Own funds requirement, Basel III | 2014 | 2013 | 2013 |
| Risk exposure amount, SEK bn | 598 | 598 | 610 |
| Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio, % | 16.2 | 15.0 | 15.0 |
| Tier 1 capital ratio, % | 18.1 | 17.1 | 17.1 |
| Total capital ratio, % | 20.8 | 18.1 | 18.0 |
| Leverage ratio, % | 4.1 | 4.2 | 4.1 |
Estimate for respective comparative period based on SEB's interpretation of future regulation.
The capital ratios improved with the 2014 result while the total capital ratio also increased due to a new issue of subordinated debt in the second quarter of 2014.
Long-term financial targets
SEB's minimum and targeted capital levels and composition of the capital base will be revisited in light of the detailed regulations that were outlined by the Swedish FSA. Currently, SEB's long-term financial targets are to:
- pay a yearly dividend that is 40 per cent or more of the earnings per share,
-
target a Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio (Basel III) of 13 per cent, and
-
generate return on equity that is competitive with peers. Long-term, the Bank aspires to reach a return on equity of 15 per cent.
As per 30 September 2014, the Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio (Basel III) was 16.2 per cent. The return on equity for the first nine months 2014 was 13.3 per cent, excluding the sale of the MasterCard shares.
Risks and uncertainties
SEB assumes credit, market, liquidity, IT and operational as well as life insurance risks. The risk composition of the Group, as well as the related risk, liquidity and capital management, are described in SEB's Annual Report for 2013 (see pp 36-48). Further information is presented in the Fact Book on a quarterly basis.
The macroeconomic development is slightly more uncertain, the large global economic imbalances remain and the potential reduction of liquidity support to financial markets from central banks may create direct and indirect effects that are difficult to assess. The market uncertainty increased with the unfolding geopolitical development in Ukraine and the Middle East.
Realignment of management accounting 2014
In order to ensure that the Basel III requirements are fully integrated throughout the organisation, SEB has since 2012 gradually adjusted the management accounting. In 2012 and 2013, SEK 16bn and 23bn of capital, respectively, was allocated to the divisions from the central function. In 2014, another SEK 10bn was allocated.
During the same period, the internal funds transfer prices have been adjusted to more fully reflect the costs of funding and the effects of implementing the Basel III requirements. One such effect in 2014 is the refinement of deposit pricing to reflect stability characteristics better and which led to higher customer related net interest income in the first nine months compared with 2013 and, consequently, lower net interest income for the treasury function.
During the third quarter, SEB calibrated the calculation for the cost of borrowing for mortgages in order to better reflect the actual costs the bank has for its funding of the mortgage book. As interest rates have fallen sharply in 2014, the difference between average cost and daily spot price has accentuated which triggered the calibration. Consequently, treasury's funding cost which is charged to retail banking – and openly published daily on the external website – was changed to the average of the last three years instead of the current price to reflect the actual cost of funding. For customers, any sharp movements in the price of liquidity will take longer to pass through the cost of borrowing and thus mortgage rates – both up and down.
Management changes
Magnus Carlsson, former head of Merchant Banking was named Deputy President & CEO.
Joachim Alpen, former head of Markets, together with Johan Torgeby, former head of Client Coverage, have been appointed co-heads of the Merchant Banking division and additional members of the Group Executive Committee.
The business areas Life and Wealth Management were organised as two separate divisions. Christoffer Malmer, former head of Financial Institutions Coverage, Merchant Banking has been appointed head of Division Wealth Management. Peter Dahlgren will continue in his capacity as head of Life and thereby head of the Life division. Christoffer Malmer and Peter Dahlgren have been appointed additional members of the Group Executive Committee.
Subsequent event
SEB announced its intention to open the traditional life insurance portfolio in Nya Liv for new savings in the second quarter of 2015.
In connection with the sale of Euroline AB, SEB received the option to invest up to 25 percent in the new card acquiring business Nordic Capital intends to develop. SEB has decided not to use this option.
Stockholm, 23 October 2014
The President declares that the Interim Accounts for January – September 2014 provide a fair overview of the Parent Company's and the Group's operations, their financial positions 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 Accounts 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.
From 2014, several new and changed standards are applicable regarding consolidation: IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 11 Joint arrangements, IFRS 12 Disclosures of Interests in Other Entities, IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements, IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. These changes have not had a significant impact on the financial reports of the Group or its capital adequacy and large exposure. In the future, the criteria for when a company has control over another company in IFRS 10 may imply consolidation of some funds if facts change, which would imply an increase in total assets. The new and changed standards require more extensive disclosure related to consolidation, particularly regarding interests in structured entities that are not consolidated.
From 2014 a clarification of the requirements for when financial assets and liabilities can be offset according to IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation is applicable. Further an amendment of IAS 39 Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement makes it, under certain circumstances, possible to continue hedge accounting when a hedging derivative is novated to a clearing counterpart (CCP). The disclosure requirements in IAS 36 Impairment of Assets have been amended with regard to the recoverable amount of impaired non-financial assets. These amendments have not had an impact on the financial statements of the Group or on capital adequacy and large exposures.
Starting from 2014 SEB presents impairment of seized tangible assets as Gains less losses from tangible and intangible assets rather than as Depreciation, amortisation and impairment of tangible and intangible assets. The purpose is to better reflect the similar character of impairment of assets that are taken over to protect claims on counterparties and credit losses. The change did not have a material impact on the financial statements of the Group.
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 2013 Annual Report.
Review report
We have reviewed this report for the period 1 January 2014 to 30 September 2014 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 International Standard on Review Engagements, ISRE 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.

Profit per country
*Excluding centralised Treasury operations
- Significant year-on-year improvements in operating profit
- Generally reduced operating expenses
- The sale of shares in MasterCard Inc. affected Sweden and Norway positively
Comments on the first nine months
In Sweden, operating profit represented 52 per cent of the group total and increased by 22 per cent year-on-year (13 per cent excluding the divestment of MasterCard shares). Continued growth in both the corporate and private segments led to higher lending and deposit volumes which contributed to a higher net interest income year-on-year. Also, higher investment banking activity contributed positively to income. Operating expenses decreased by 4 per cent.
In Norway, operating profit increased by 53 per cent (6 per cent excluding the divestment of MasterCard shares). Business activity in general stayed high. Operating expenses decreased by 4 per cent.
In Denmark, operating profit increased by 8 per cent. Both corporate banking and Life saw positive developments. A large specific provision for credit losses reduced operating income and increased net credit losses. SEB applies a 'One Name Lending' concept in the Nordic countries in which loan administration for the Nordic branches is managed from Sweden and as a consequence loan losses are recorded in Sweden. To reflect management accounting correctly in the geographical dimension, the Nordic branches are attributed
all income and provisions of the specific loan over income since the risk is carried locally. Total expenses in Denmark were down by 4 per cent.
In Finland, operating profit increased by 22 per cent yearon-year. Operating profit in Merchant Banking increased by 22 per cent even though one-off effects increased expenses by 15 per cent. Wealth Management increased operating profit by 10 per cent by increasing income and lowering expenses. Card increased income by 32 per cent.
In Germany, operating profit was 56 per cent higher yearon-year. The operating profit of Merchant Banking was 60 per cent higher mainly driven by the results in Markets and Investment Banking. SEB's position in the German corporate banking market improved further through cross-selling initiatives, new bond mandates and new clients.
In Estonia operating profit was stable while challenged by the economic development in Finland and Russia. In Latvia, operating profit increased as the credit losses were less than half of those in the first nine months 2013. In Lithuania income was up, expenses down and the asset quality improved.

- Operating profit improved by 18 per cent
- Increased IPO and M&A activity
- Higher credit losses due to one specific problem loan in Denmark with misrepresented certified financial accounts
Comments on the first nine months
The fragile recovery of the world economy continued into the third quarter but the picture was more scattered. The US economy continued its upturn but the euro zone development was less positive. The Nordic countries exhibited divergent growth patterns with Sweden leading the way but with Finland lagging behind partly affected by the sanctions against Russia. Central banks continued to take active measures and rate cuts were an integral part.
Client activity in the first nine months increased compared to last year. Global activity within the IPO and M&A markets increased significantly. Competition continued to be high, still to a large degree affected by excess supply of liquidity. SEB strengthened the position with financial institutions through an external partnership – offering customers state-of-the-art global custody services functionality.
Operating income for the first nine months amounted to SEK 13,750m, an increase of 12 per cent year-on-year. Income improved across most business areas. Operating expenses were almost flat at SEK 6,300m. Asset quality in general remained high. Net credit losses increased to SEK 518m mainly due to one specific problem loan in Denmark in which case the company's financial position was misrepresented in
the certified financial accounts. The credit loss level was maintained low at 11 basis points. Operating profit amounted to SEK 6,920m, an increase of 18 per cent versus the first nine months last year.
Markets performed on the same level as the first nine months last year but with a different income composition. Fixed income operations were challenged by low interest rates and volatility levels. FX performed better than last year but was also affected by low volatility. The equities business presented a relatively strong performance, partly driven by the equity capital market area. Transaction Banking delivered an improved result where volume growth compensated for the negative effects from rate cuts. Assets under custody amounted to SEK 6,732bn. Corporate & Investment Banking outperformed last year. Strong advisory performance paired with event-driven client activity lead to a major improvement.
The strategic work to grow and broaden SEB's business in the Nordic countries and Germany continued successfully. This was confirmed, among other things, in Germany where the first Prospera survey ever covering SEB's targeted corporate segment in the country showed that SEB was the bank clients were most willing to recommend.

1) Ouarterly numbers are for last month of quarter. Accumulated numbers are average for the period.
- Operating profit increased by 21 per cent
- Low interest rates and a cautious climate among corporate customers
- Enhanced customer functionality
Comments on the first nine months
Operating profit increased by 21 per cent compared with the same period in 2013, primarily driven by continued growth of the corporate franchise and the Swedish residential mortgage market in combination with higher margins. Operating expenses decreased by 6 per cent to SEK 4 236m.
Net interest income for the first nine months was SEK 6,165m (5,709). The third quarter net interest income declined due to the 50 basis points repo rate cut in July. Commission income increased by SEK 129m year-on-year mainly due to higher commissions in the payments business.
As a result of the slow recovery of the European economies and the uncertain geopolitical situation, corporate customers' willingness to invest was low. Corporate lending was nearly unchanged at SEK 170bn. The number of fullservice customers in the corporate segment grew by 7,800 and amounted to 147,400.
The number of full-service customers in the private segment increased by 8,600 during the year to 474,600. The mortgage portfolio growth rate was unchanged compared to the beginning of the year. Household savings increased during the first nine months and the net inflow into SEB's mutual funds increased by SEK 7.3bn. Total deposits amounted to SEK 233bn.
Several improvements in the customer offering were made. For instance, a new upgraded internet bank for corporate customers was launched in the third quarter. SEB was first out among banks supporting Visma AutoPay, a corporate payment service which automates and simplifies payments between customers' business systems and their bank. As part of the strategic work to support young entrepreneurs, a new concept, 'Enkla firman student', was launched – an offering aimed at students starting out as entrepreneurs.
The customer satisfaction survey, the Swedish Quality Index, showed that SEB's position among private and corporate customers improved significantly.

- Operating profit improved by 37 per cent and assets under management reached a record high of SEK 1,563bn
- Private Banking continued to attract new clients and volumes
- All-time high in sales for Institutional Clients
Comments on the first nine months
There was sustained confidence among investors during the first half of 2014. However, the increased uncertainty about the world economy decreased the risk appetite in the third quarter limiting stock market growth.
Total assets under management increased by 17 per cent compared to one year ago and amounted to a record high of SEK 1,563bn (1,341). The average assets under management increased as a result of higher net inflows in combination with a positive stock market development. Margins were slightly lower.
The operating profit was up 37 per cent compared to the same period last year. Base commissions increased to SEK 2,240m as a result of the higher average asset values. Brokerage fees and net interest income increased by 9 and 5 per cent, respectively, compared to first nine months 2013. Performance and transaction fees increased from SEK 122m to 172m. Operating expenses were stable year-on-year.
Private Banking attracted SEK 29bn of new volumes during the first nine months, which was slightly higher than last year. The growth was mainly in the high net-worth
individual segment across all geographic markets. Private Banking customers were also very active investors in many of the initial public offerings carried out during the first nine months.
For Institutional Clients, the first nine months were marked by a new all-time high in sales and several new mandates were won. Since year-end, net new volumes increased by SEK 38bn. The launch of new Tier 1 products, such as SEB Micro Finance Fund 2, continued to attract interest from customers. In total some 50 customers have invested SEK 1bn in micro finance funds.
Funds managed by SEB grew as a share of customers' net investments. The increased demand for SEB's allocation products among the private customers, such as SEB strategy funds, continued during the period. Managed assets for allocation products increased by 40 per cent since year-end.

- Operating profit increased by 24 per cent
- GDP growth slowing down
- SEB Baltic Innovation Lab rolled out
Comments on the first nine months
Baltic households have benefited from stronger real incomes and from low interest rates. Unemployment rates have also continued to shrink. GDP growth has, however, slowed in each of the Baltic economies, with the slowdown largely connected to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Estonia's export-dependent economy was worst hit, and was squeezed by both slower Russian growth and by sluggish trading with Finland.
Loan volumes amounted to SEK 102bn (100). Lending margins remained relatively stable across the portfolio, with slightly higher margins on new loans.
The home banking customers increased by 16,000 yearon-year and deposit volumes totalled SEK 81bn (70). Despite the low deposit margins prevailing in each of the Baltic countries, net interest income increased 13 per cent year-onyear.
Operating profit was 24 per cent higher year-on-year and non-performing loans declined by 27 per cent. The credit loss level was 14 basis points for the first nine months.
SEB's Baltic Innovation Lab aimed at the corporate customers was rolled out. Through information and discussions in workshops businesses are guided to innovation and assisted in resolving business problems. Innovation lab has a proven track record especially for start-up companies in an environment of limited resources.
SEB won awards from Global Finance magazine as the best consumer internet bank in Latvia and Estonia. In Estonia, the Tallinn City government named SEB as one of the most Socially Responsible companies of the year.
The real estate holding companies held assets at a total book value of SEK 2,711m (2,660).

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.
For third quarter the positive effect from structured products offered to the public was approximately SEK 110m (Q2 2014: 460, Q3 2013: 640) in Equity related instruments and a corresponding negative effect in Debt related instruments. For the first nine months the positive effect was approximately SEK 1,190m (Sept 2013 YTD: 510) in Equity related instruments and a corresponding negative effect in Debt related instruments.

Fair value measurement
The objective of fair value measurement is to arrive at the price at which an orderly transaction would take place between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions.
The Group has an established valuation process and control environment for the determination of fair values of financial instruments that includes a review, independent from the business, of valuation models and prices. If the validation principles are not adhered to, the Head of Group Finance shall be informed. Exceptions of material and principal importance require approval from the GRMC (Group Risk Measurement Committee) and the ASC (Accounting Standards Committee).
In order to arrive at the fair value of a financial instrument SEB uses different methods; quoted prices in active markets, valuation techniques incorporating observable data and valuation techniques based on internal models. For disclosure purposes, financial instruments carried at fair value are classified in a fair value hierarchy according to the level of market observability of the inputs. Risk Control classifies and continuously reviews the classification of financial instruments in the fair value hierarchy. The valuation process is the same for financial instruments in all levels.
An active market is one in which transactions occur with sufficient volume and frequency to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The objective is to arrive at a price at which a transaction without modification or repackaging would occur in the principal market for the instrument.
Fair value is generally measured for individual financial instruments, in addition portfolio adjustments are made to cover the credit risk. To reflect counterparty risk and own credit risk in OTC derivatives, adjustments are made based on the net exposure towards each counterpart. These adjustments are calculated on a counterparty level based on estimates of exposure at default, probability of default and recovery rates. Probability of default and recovery rate information is generally sourced from the CDS markets. For counterparties where this information is not available, or considered unreliable due to the nature of the exposure, alternative approaches are taken where the probability of default is based on generic credit indices for specific industry and/or rating.
When valuing financial liabilities at fair value own credit standing is reflected.
In order to arrive at the fair value of investment properties a market participant's ability to generate economic benefit by using the asset in its highest and best use are taken into account. The highest and best use takes into account the use of the asset that is physically possible, legally permissible and financially feasible. The current use of the investment properties in SEB is in accordance with the highest and best use. The valuation of investment properties is described in the Accounting policies in Annual Report 2013. The valuation of the investment properties is performed semi-annually, they are presented and approved by the board in each real estate company. The valuation principles used in all entities are in accordance with regulations provided by the local Financial Supervisory Authorities (FSA) which is in accordance with international valuation principles and in accordance with IFRS.
Level 1: Quoted market prices
Valuations in Level 1 are determined by reference to unadjusted quoted market prices for identical instruments in active markets where the quoted prices are readily available and the prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm's length basis.
Examples of Level 1 financial instruments are listed equity securities, debt securities, and exchange-traded derivatives. Instruments traded in an active market for which one or more market participants provide a binding price quotation on the balance sheet date are also examples of Level 1 financial instruments.
Level 2: Valuation techniques with observable inputs
In Level 2 valuation techniques, all significant inputs to the valuation models are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 2 valuation techniques include using discounted cash flows, option pricing models, recent transactions and the price of another instrument that is substantially the same.
Examples of observable inputs are foreign currency exchange rates, binding securities price quotations, market interest rates (Stibor, Libor, etc.), volatilities implied from observable option prices for the same term and actual transactions with one or more external counterparts executed by SEB. An input can transfer from being observable to being unobservable during the holding period due to e.g. illiquidity of the instrument. Examples of Level 2 financial instruments are most OTC derivatives such as options and interest rate swaps based on the Libor swap rate or a foreign-denominated yield curve. Other examples are instruments for which SEB recently entered into transactions with third parties and instruments for which SEB interpolates between observable variables.
Level 3: Valuation techniques with significant unobservable inputs
If the fair value of financial instruments includes more than one unobservable input, the unobservable inputs are aggregated in order to determine the classification of the entire instrument. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a financial instrument is classified is determined on the basis of the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value in its entirety. Level 3 valuation techniques incorporate significant inputs that are unobservable. These techniques are generally based on extrapolating from observable inputs for similar instruments, analysing historical data or other analytical techniques. Examples of Level 3 financial instruments are more complex OTC derivatives, long dated options for which the volatility is extrapolated or derivatives that depend on an unobservable correlation. Other examples are instruments for which there is currently no active market or binding quotes, such as unlisted equity instruments and private equity holdings and investment properties.

Significant transfers and reclassifications between levels
Transfers between levels may occur when there are indications that market conditions have changed, e.g. a change in liquidity. The Valuation/Pricing committee of each relevant division decides on material shifts between levels. At the end of the second quarter AFS Equity instruments in the amount of SEK 268m have been transferred into level 3 due to reassessment. At the end of the third quarter Equity instruments at fair value through profit & loss in the amount of SEK 47m have been transferred from level 3 to level 1 due to reassessment.

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 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. There have been no significant changes during 2014. The largest open market risk within Level 3 financial instruments is found within the insurance business.

The table shows financial assets and liabilities that are presented net in the balance sheet or with potential rights to off-set associated with enforceable master netting arrangements or similar arrangements, together with related collateral.
Financial assets and liabilities are presented net in the balance sheet 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 balance sheet.
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 not subject to netting arrangements.

Swedish implementation of 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 2013. In Swedish law, the CRR part automatically took effect upon EU adoption while the CRD IV part was entered in August 2014 and will be implemented by the Swedish FSA during the fall.
In September, the Swedish FSA published its views thereon on www.fi.se. Certain unclarities remain, but the FSA indicated that SEB's Common Equity Tier 1 requirement would have been 15.4 per cent, and that the total capital requirement would have been 19.8 per cent, at 30 June 2014, applying the new regulations.
The Basel III information in this report is based on SEB's interpretation of the current regulations and may be amended when the final version of the Swedish regulation is established.

1) New Swedish capital reporting regulations (FFFS 2014:12) apply from August 2014. Own funds requirements shall be reported according to a given format. The Common Equity Tier 1 capital is presented on a consolidated basis, and differs from total equity according to IFRS. The insurance business contribution to equity is excluded and there is a dividend deduction calculated according to Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 (CRR).
In March 2014, the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority approved SEB's application to use quarterly profit in measuring the capital base on condition that the responsible auditors (PwC) can confirm that predictable costs and
dividends have been deducted in accordance with EU regulation number 575/2013 and that the calculation was made in accordance with EU regulation number 241/2014. PwC is in the process of performing this review.

The overall risk exposure was virtually unchanged from the beginning of the year as decreasing effects from process and regulatory changes, migration, and a decrease in market risks were offset by changes in FX-rates and a volume increase.
Average risk-weight
The following table summarises average risk-weights (risk exposure amount divided by exposure at default, EAD) for exposures where the risk exposure amount is calculated according to 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 Sep | 31 Dec |
|---|---|---|
| Average risk-weight | 2014 | 2013 |
| Exposures to institutions | 21.6% | 24.3% |
| Exposures to corporates | 36.4% | 38.3% |
| Retail exposures | 9.1% | 11.0% |
| of which secured by immovable property | 7.4% | 9.5% |
| of which qualifying revolving retail exposures | 7.5% | 7.2% |
| of which retail SME | 42.9% | 38.3% |
| of which other retail exposures | 36.4% | 38.4% |
| Securitisation positions | 40.4% | 39.0% |
The decrease in risk-weights for institutions is due to a shift in allocation towards more stable exposures. The decrease for corporate exposures has occurred in large part due to
borrowers' migration to higher credit quality. The decrease for retail mortgages is partially due to lower risk generally.
