Interim Report January–September 2016

STOCKHOLM 20 OCTOBER 2016

"The low interest rates and market uncertainty continued to impact customer behaviour. Business development in the Nordic countries – less affected by global trends – was solid with large corporate customer activity picking up towards the end of the quarter."

Volumes and key ratios

It is often said and it needs to be repeated. These are exceptional times. We are seeing elevated political uncertainty in many countries as well as on a global level. The unconventional monetary policy with negative interest rates and quantitative easing – in Europe and Japan amounting to USD 175bn per month – seems to be prolonged. The regulatory environment is still uncertain. All in all, this is hampering a more efficient allocation of capital and we still only see a gradual acceleration of growth in the world economy. Following the high market volatility and sharp drop in equity prices directly after the Brexit vote, equity markets turned up again in the recent quarter. We now know that formal talks on Brexit will be initiated before March next year, but it is still far too early to draw any conclusions about the medium and long-term economic effects as seen by continued market uncertainty.

A Nordic corporate bank with a strong position

SEB can support its customers also in times of uncertainty. In the third quarter, customers' need for advisory and risk management services continued to increase as well as demand for corporate and household lending. Underlying profit increased between the second and third quarter by 4 per cent.

Looking at the first nine months of the year, negative interest rates and the cautious business and investment sentiment contributed to lower net interest income as well as lower net fee and commission income, while net financial income increased. In SEB we know our customers well and asset quality remained high with a credit loss level of 7 basis points. SEB's underlying operating profit for the first nine months, excluding both positive and negative one-off effects, reached SEK 14.7bn and a return on equity of 11.2 per cent.

The Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio (CET1) was 18.6 per cent. The Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP) performed by the Swedish FSA, confirms that the surcharge for increased risk weights for corporate exposures and maturity floor for these exposures is 0.8 per cent. Based on our own assessment of the CET 1 requirement at 16.1 per cent, the total requirement translates into a total of 16.9 per cent.

Higher customer activity despite continued market uncertainty

Business development in the Nordic countries – less affected by the global trends – was solid with large corporate customer activity picking up towards the end of the quarter. Institutional customer activity was characterised by uncertainty, reduced risk appetite with clients hedging risks and lower activity levels following lower volatility and uncertainty about central banks' actions.

In Sweden, domestically focused companies continued to show a growing willingness to invest. SEB continued to support our customers in financing infrastructure investments. We have grown the number of full-service corporate customers by close to 40 per cent over the last five years. Challenging demographic development and low overall confidence in pension systems increase the need for savings ahead of retirement. SEB has as the only Swedish bank a holistic savings offering with also traditional insurance in the occupational pension area. In the third quarter, equity markets rebounced, risk aversion among private customers changed and net inflows of assets under management amounted to SEK 24bn.

In the Baltic countries, activity among corporate and private customers continued to increase, especially in Lithuania.

Digitisation drives new ways of working and services including pilot with virtual AI agent Digitisation rapidly changes customer behaviours while promoting new ways of working and increased efficiency. In Sweden, mobile interactions are four times as high as internet banking interactions. In the Baltic countries, we recently launched a new on-line account opening for corporate customers. As the first bank we are piloting a virtual agent, Amelia, in our internal ITsupport, who uses artificial intelligence to learn, have a dialogue and conduct matters in a human way. She is now learning Swedish so we can use her in our domestic customer support.

To us in SEB it was a hallmark to be included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index as the only Nordic bank. It reflects our approach to take a long-term perspective in everything we do and integrating sustainability in our business.

SEB Interim Report January–September 2016 3

Third quarter isolated

The operating profit amounted to SEK 5,229m (5,536) and net profit (after tax) amounted to SEK 4,149m (4,519). Excluding a one-off item in the second quarter, operating profit increased by SEK 213m, or 4 per cent (see item 1 in the box on page 5).

Operating income

Total operating income amounted to SEK 10,795m (11,136). Excluding the one-off item in the second quarter, operating income increased by SEK 179m.

Net interest income, which amounted to SEK 4,657m, was stable compared with both the previous quarter (4,647) and year-on-year. Both the Swedish repo rate and the ECB Euro refinancing interest rate were unchanged, at -0.5 and zero per cent, respectively.

Q3 Q2 Q3
SEK m 2016 2016 2015
Customer-driven NII 5 051 5 022 4 640
NII from other activities -394 -375 43
Total 4 657 4 647 4 683

Customer-driven net interest income increased by SEK 29m compared to the second quarter. On the lending side, volumes and margins had a combined positive effect of SEK 200m. This was counteracted by deposit-related net interest income where in particular margins decreased, a total decrease of SEK 170m.

Net interest income from other activities decreased by SEK 19m compared to the second quarter. Regulatory fees, including resolution and deposit guarantee fees, amounted to SEK 349m (354).

Net fee and commission income amounted to SEK 4,048m (4,074). In general, the uncertain macro environment has affected the activity levels. The stock markets, however, rebounded somewhat during the third quarter, leading to an increase by SEK 52m of fee income relating to assets under management and custody compared to the second quarter. Performance and transaction fees amounted to SEK 21m (20). Net commissions relating to the life insurance business amounted to SEK 268m (250). Card and payment fees increased somewhat compared to the second quarter, but year-on-year card fees were lower due to the regulatory cap on interchange fees.

Net financial income increased by 11 per cent to SEK 1,915m during the quarter (1,718). The net unrealised valuation adjustment from counterparty risk (CVA) and own credit (DVA) in derivatives as well as issued structured bonds (OCA), was SEK -84m (-205). Market valuations and volatility had a positive effect in the liquidity management operations. Net financial income relating to the traditional life insurance operations in Sweden and Denmark amounted to SEK 512m (489).

Net other income amounted to SEK 175m (697). Realised capital gains and unrealised valuation and hedge accounting effects were included in this line item. A one-off item in the second quarter affected comparisons (see item 1 in the box on page 5).

Operating expenses

Total operating expenses were largely unchanged and amounted to SEK 5,355m (5,332), well within the cost cap of SEK 22bn for the full year 2016.

Credit losses and provisions

Net credit losses amounted to SEK 197m (221). The credit loss level was 5 basis points (6).

Income tax expense

Total income tax expense was SEK 1,080m (1,017). The effective tax rate for the third quarter was 20.6 per cent.

Other comprehensive income

The other comprehensive income amounted to SEK -714m (886).

The value of the pension plan assets exceeded the defined benefit obligations. The discount rate for the total pension obligation in Sweden was changed to 1.9 per cent (2.5) and in Germany to 1.2 per cent (1.4). The result of the revaluation was that the total defined benefit obligation increased more than the market value of the pension plan assets. The net value change booked in other comprehensive income was therefore SEK -781m.

The net effect from the valuation of balance sheet items that may subsequently be reclassified to the income statement, e.g. cash-flow hedges, available-for-sale financial assets and translation of foreign operations, was positive in the amount of SEK 67m (758).

Comparative numbers (in parenthesis):

The quarterly result is compared to the previous quarter. The year-to-date result is compared to the corresponding period 2015. Business volumes are compared to year-end 2015, unless otherwise stated.

The first nine months – excluding one-off items

The table below shows the operating profit for the first nine months 2016 and 2015, excluding the following one-off items that affect comparability between periods:

  • 1. Second quarter 2016: The settlement of the transaction of SEB's Baltic holdings in Visa Europe resulted in a one-off gain of SEK 520m accounted for as net other income. The gain generated a tax expense of SEK 24m. Read more on page 8.
  • 2. First quarter 2016: SEB implemented a new customeroriented organisation. The reorganisation resulted in an impairment of goodwill in the amount of SEK 5,334m accounted for as operating expenses. This expense was not tax deductible.
  • 3. First quarter 2016: One-off financial effects from restructuring activities in the Baltic and German businesses and a write-down (derecognition) of intangible IT-assets no longer in use were booked. In total, these items affected operating expenses by SEK 615m and there was a positive tax effect amounting to SEK 101m.
  • 4. Second quarter 2015: The Swiss Supreme Court denied SEB's application for a refund of withholding tax dating back to the years 2006 through 2008. This led to a decrease of net financial income in the amount of SEK 820m and an additional interest expense of SEK 82m. There was no tax effect.

The first nine months

The operating profit amounted to SEK 9,309m (15,360) and net profit (after tax) amounted to SEK 6,374m (11,980).

Operating income

Total operating income amounted to SEK 32,153m (32,483).

Net interest income amounted to SEK 13,940m (14,261). The Swedish repo rate has been -0.50 per cent and ECB's Euro refinancing interest rate has been zero since the first quarter this year.

Jan–Sep Change
SEK m 2016 2015 %
Customer-driven NII 15 040 13 799 9
NII from other activities -1 100 462
Total 13 940 14 261 -2

Customer-driven net interest income increased by SEK 1,241m compared to the first nine months 2015. Lending related net interest income increased by SEK 782m, where SEK 234m was due to higher volumes and SEK 548m was a

margin effect. In the prevailing negative interest rate environment, the bank has supported the divisions' intake of customer deposits. Hence, customer deposit-related net interest income increased by SEK 458m. The effect from deposit volumes was SEK -14m.

Net interest income from other activities decreased by SEK 1,562m compared to the first nine months 2015. A oneoff item in 2015 affected comparison (see item 4 in the box). Year-on-year, the lower interest rate levels led to a reduction of net interest income by approximately SEK 700m. Regulatory fees, including resolution and deposit guarantee fees, amounted to SEK 1,031m, and were SEK 169m higher than the first nine months 2015.

Net fee and commission income decreased by 14 per cent to SEK 12,019m (13,950). Assets under management and custody fees decreased in the wake of the negative development in the stock markets, particularly in the beginning of 2016, with lower market value of assets under management. In particular, performance and transaction fees decreased and amounted to SEK 63m (528). As communicated in previous quarters, there has been a need to reduce seasonality in balance sheet usage, in line with the new regulatory liquidity framework. This led to reduced stock lending activities and significantly lower related fee income for the first nine months. Card fees decreased by an estimated SEK 360m due to the regulatory cap on interchange fees. Net commissions relating to the life insurance business amounted to SEK 763m (873).

Net financial income increased by 30 per cent to SEK 5,018m (3,855), driven primarily by higher customer activity. The comparison to 2015 is however impacted by a one-off item in 2015 that was not customer activity related (see item 4 in the box). Net financial income was largely driven by customers who were active seeking risk management services throughout the nine months. Net financial income relating to the traditional life insurance operations in Sweden and Denmark also increased, by SEK 464m year-on-year to SEK 1,370m. This was counteracted by net negative valuation adjustments from counterparty risk (CVA) and own credit risk (DVA) in derivatives as well as issued structured bonds (OCA), amounting to SEK -442m. In 2015 this item was positive in the amount of SEK 482m, resulting in a negative change of SEK 924m year-on-year.

Net other income amounted to SEK 1,176m (417), reflecting a combination of realised capital gains and unrealised valuation and hedge accounting effects. A one-off item in the second quarter 2016 affected comparison (see item 1 in the box). Additionally, in the third quarter 2015, SEB Asset Management AG was divested. Goodwill related to that transaction decreased net other income by SEK 187m.

Operating expenses

Total operating expenses amounted to SEK 22,052m (16,324). One-off items in 2016 affect the comparison (see item 2 and 3 in the box). Excluding the one-off items operating expenses amounted to SEK 16,103m. The decrease compared to the corresponding period last year was due to lower staff costs.

SEB's cost cap on operating expenses is SEK 22bn for the years 2016 and 2017, with the operating expenses run rate currently indicating SEK 21.5bn.

Credit losses and provisions

Net credit losses amounted to SEK 709m (664). The credit loss level was 7 basis points (6).

Income tax expense

Total income tax expense was SEK 2,935m (3,380). The effective tax rate for the first nine months was 20 per cent, excluding the goodwill impairment recognised in the first quarter which was not tax deductible. This was in line with SEB's expected tax rate.

The Swedish government has proposed that interest on subordinated debt that qualifies as additional tier 1 capital and tier 2 capital will not be deductible for income tax purposes. The estimated effect from the change is an increase in tax expenses by approximately SEK 360m in 2017 and SEK 300m in 2018 and onwards, all else equal. SEB has no plans to call any of the outstanding subordinated additional tier 1 capital transactions due to this proposed tax reason and cannot contractually call the outstanding subordinated tier 2 capital transactions for the same reason.

Furthermore, a tax based on salary expense in the financial sector is being considered for implementation in Norway 2017 and in Sweden 2018. The total estimated effect of the proposal under discussion on SEB is around SEK 700m per year.

Other comprehensive income

The other comprehensive income amounted to SEK -2,171m (902).

The net revaluation of the defined benefit pension plans had a negative effect of SEK -3,758m in the first nine months versus a positive effect in the corresponding period 2015 of SEK 1,442m. The value of the pension plan assets exceeded the defined benefit obligations even though the pension obligation increased when discount rates were lowered in steps throughout the first nine months. The discount rate in Sweden was changed to 1.9 per cent (from 3.1 per cent at year-end) and the discount rate in Germany was changed to 1.2 per cent (from 2.4 per cent at year-end).

The net effect from the valuation of balance sheet items that may subsequently be reclassified to the income statement, e.g. cash-flow hedges, available-for-sale financial assets and translation of foreign operations, was positive in the amount of SEK 1,587m (-540). The valuation of availablefor-sale financial assets included the revaluation of the holdings in Visa Sweden. The weaker krona resulted in an increase from translation of foreign operations.

Business volumes

Total assets at the end of the period were SEK 2,851bn, an increase by SEK 355bn compared to year-end (2,496). At yearend the volume of trading and repo activities was low, which led to lower issuance of commercial papers and certificates of deposits as well as lower volumes of short-term deposits placed by financial corporates. These activities have rebounded since year-end.

In addition, loans to the public amounted to SEK 1,497bn, a growth of SEK 144bn during the first nine months. Excluding repos and debt instruments, loans to the public increased by SEK 94bn. There was growth in all segments – in corporate and retail and in the Nordic and Baltic regions.

SEB's total credit portfolio (in which both on- and offbalance sheet volumes are included) amounted to SEK 2,153bn (2,065). During the first nine months total household loans and commitments increased by SEK 20bn. The combined corporate and property management loans and commitments increased by SEK 107bn.

Deposits from the public amounted to SEK 1,039bn, which was an increase of SEK 155bn compared to year-end. Compared to year-end, household deposits increased by SEK 13bn while corporate deposits increased by SEK 106bn.

Total assets under management amounted to SEK 1,758bn (1,700). The net inflow of assets during the first nine months was SEK 45bn and the total market value increased by SEK 13bn.

Assets under custody decreased reflecting the drop in stock market values and amounted to SEK 6,637bn (7,196).

Market risk

SEB's business model is driven by customer flows. Value-at-Risk (VaR) in the trading operations averaged SEK 122m in the third quarter 2016 and the year-to-date 2016 average was SEK 114m (122). 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.

The main factors that affected VaR development year-todate are the significant decline of the Swedish and Euro interest rates and the volatility of credit spreads.

Liquidity and long-term funding

Since year-end 2015, SEK 83.3bn of long-term funding matured (of which SEK 61.8bn covered bonds and SEK 21.5bn senior debt). At the same time, new issues amounted to SEK 130.0bn (of which SEK 59.4bn constituted covered bonds and SEK 70.6bn senior debt). Commercial papers and certificates of deposits increased by SEK 20.0bn since yearend 2015.

The core liquidity reserve at the end of the period amounted to SEK 552bn (352).

The Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR), according to the rules adapted for Sweden by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (SFSA), must be at least 100 per cent in total and in EUR and USD, respectively. At the end of the period, the LCR was 135 per cent (128). The USD and EUR LCRs were 269 and 129 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 115 per cent.

Rating

Moody's rates SEB's long-term senior unsecured debt at Aa3 with a stable outlook due to SEB's asset quality, earnings stability and diversification as well as increased efficiency.

Fitch rates SEB's long-term senior unsecured debt at AAwith a stable outlook. The outlook is based on SEB's long-term strategy, earnings stability and diversification.

S&P rates SEB's long-term senior unsecured debt at A+ with a stable outlook. The outlook is based on the bank's strong capital and earnings development which may off-set the effect of heightened economic risks in Sweden as perceived by S&P.

Capital position

SEB's Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio was 18.6 per cent. SEB's estimate of the full pillar 1 and 2 CET1 capital requirements – where the pillar 2 requirements were calculated according to the methods set by the SFSA – was 16.1 per cent at the end of the third quarter 2016. The bank aims to have a buffer of about 150 basis points above the capital requirement.

In the third quarter the SFSA published the result of its Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP). The SREP confirmed that the total surcharge for increased risk-weights for corporate exposures and maturity floor for these exposures in total is 0.8 per cent, 0.4 and 0.4 respectively, resulting in a total CET 1 requirement of 16.9 per cent. The bank's CET 1 ratio is thus 170 basis points above the new requirement as per the third quarter.

The following table shows the risk exposure amount (REA) and capital ratios according to Basel III.

Sep Dec Sep
Own funds requirement, Basel III 2016 2015 2015
Risk exposure amount, SEK bn 603 571 604
Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio, % 18.6 18.8 17.8
Tier 1 capital ratio, % 20.9 21.3 20.1
Total capital ratio, % 23.3 23.8 22.7
Leverage ratio, % 4.4 4.9 4.5

REA increased by SEK 32bn since year-end. The increase was largely driven by corporate credit volumes and currency effects. Market risk REA declined in the first quarter and has been stable since. The Additional REA that was established in the fourth quarter of 2015 in agreement with the SFSA as a measure of prudence, increased by SEK 5.1bn to SEK 14bn.

Equity increased in line with the net profit approximately at the same rate as the REA increase. The CET 1 capital ratio was 0.2 percentage points below the year-end 2015 level.

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,
  • to maintain a Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio of around 150 bps above the current requirement from the SFSA, and
  • to generate a return on equity that is competitive with peers.

In the long term, SEB aspires to reach a sustainable return on equity of 15 per cent.

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 2015 (see page 40- 46 and notes 18-20) and in the Capital Adequacy and Risk Management report for 2015. Further information is presented in the Fact Book on a quarterly basis.

The macroeconomic development remains uncertain, the large global economic imbalances remain and the potential reduction of liquidity support to financial markets from central banks world-wide may create direct and indirect effects that are difficult to assess. In addition, there is uncertainty around

the effects on the bank from a potential prolongation of the current low or negative interest rates. The unexpected outcome of the British EU-referendum, Brexit, and the upcoming US presidential election adds to the uncertainty.

Visa transaction

In 2015, Visa Inc. announced its planned acquisition of Visa Europe (a membership-owned organisation) with the purpose of creating a single global Visa company. The transaction was approved by the European Commission on 3 June 2016. It consists of a combination of consideration in cash and shares. SEB is member of Visa Europe through several direct and indirect memberships.

The closing of the transaction of SEB's Visa memberships in the Baltic countries resulted in a realisation of the fair value recognised in other comprehensive income in the first quarter to a one-off gain of SEK 520m recognised in net other income in the second quarter.

In Sweden, where SEB is an indirect member via Visa Sweden, the holdings are classified as available-for-sale financial assets. The fair value amount was booked in other comprehensive income. Once the distribution between the Swedish indirect members is finalised it will be recognised in net other income.

The President declares that the Interim Accounts for January–September 2016 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 also 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 1 January 2016 amendments and clarifications of several IFRS standards came into force. IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements has been amended regarding the equity method in separate financial statements. IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements has been amended regarding accounting for acquisitions of interests in joint operations. IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment and IAS 38 Intangible Assets have been clarified regarding acceptable methods of depreciation and amortisation. IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements has

been amended with clarifications of, for example, materiality and disclosure requirements. Annual Improvements 2012– 2014 Cycle has narrowly amended several IFRS standards. These changes have not had a material impact on the financial statements of the Group or on capital adequacy and large exposures.

IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts allows non-uniform accounting policies for insurance contracts. A change in accounting policies for calculating insurance liabilities in Denmark was made as of 1 January 2016 to be aligned with Solvency II principles.

The reorganisation as of 1 January 2016 amended the reportable segments of the Group and goodwill was reallocated to business unit and geographical level rather than the divisional level in accordance with IFRS 8 Operating Segments and IAS 36 Impairment of Assets.

For the Parent company the Swedish Annual Accounts Act for Credit Institutions and Securities Companies and the regulations and general guidelines issued by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority have been updated. The main changes relate to alignment to IFRS regarding presentation and disclosures of contingent liabilities. Further a restricted reserve within equity has been implemented for intangible assets related to internally generated development expenses.

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 2015 Annual Report.

Review report

We have reviewed this interim report for the period 1 January 2016 to 30 September 2016 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.

  • Stable performance in the Large Corporate segment despite continued macro uncertainty
  • Customers were cautious in the uncertain markets demanding hedging solutions
  • Third quarter operating profit in line with 2015 despite generally low activity levels

Comments on the first nine months

Market uncertainty continued into the third quarter in the aftermath of the EU referendum in the UK and ahead of the US election. The central banks' support programs and interest rate strategies kept influencing the markets.

Financial Institutions' customers were cautious during the first nine months but hedging activity picked up during periods of exceptional market turbulence such as the sharp moves in oil prices and in connection with Brexit. Assets under custody amounted to SEK 6,637bn (7,196).

In the Large Corporate segment the organic growth was low but demand for risk management products increased in the uncertain markets. Activity levels picked up somewhat towards the end of the third quarter, particularly the eventdriven business.

Overall the business development in all Nordic markets was solid. Norway had strong momentum with high client activity and strong performance in all segments, especially

within hedging and corporate lending. Performance in Finland was solid mainly driven by events and higher activity in real estate. Denmark saw higher demand for risk management products, and closed several M&A deals in the third quarter. In the German business, the strategic reduction of non-core business continued in a highly competitive environment.

Operating profit decreased to SEK 6,337bn (7,246). Net interest income was slightly higher despite low interest rates and relatively weak client activity. Net fee and commission income decreased mainly as a result of the decrease of stock lending business for liquidity management purposes. Net financial income increased reflecting the high demand for risk management products. Operating expenses, excluding oneoff effects, decreased compared to last year as a result of efficiency measures. Net credit losses amounted to SEK 363m (209), equivalent to a credit loss level of 8 basis points.

Corporate & Private Customers

The division offers full banking and advisory services to private individuals and small and medium-sized corporate customers in Sweden, as well as card servicesin four Nordic countries. High net-worth individuals are offered leading Nordic private banking services.

  • Digital offering to corporate customers was top-ranked by Finansbarometern
  • Year-to-date, SEB attracted 7,400 corporate customers, reaching 166,200 in total
  • Nine-month operating profit decreased year-on-year while the third quarter result improved somewhat

Comments on the first nine months

The risk aversion among customers prevalent during the year was reduced as equity market volatility levelled off in the third quarter. Subsequently, customer activity picked up and resulted in steady net new inflows of assets under management in the private segment. Household mortgages continued to grow and reached SEK 429bn (419), while the number of full-service customers increased to 485,700 (482,200). Private customers continued to increase their digital presence as mobile interactions averaged 15.3 million per month during the first nine months of this year, reaching another all-time high. The launch of SEB Youth App in May has resulted in 11,000 active users.

In the corporate segment SEB continued to grow its fullservice customer base, reaching 166,200 (158,800). Corporate lending increased to SEK 220bn (198) as a result of customers' growing willingness to invest. In the annual customer survey, Finansbarometern, the digital offering to

corporate customers was top-ranked among the large Swedish banks in the digital category.

Operating profit for the first nine months decreased to SEK 5,402m (5,519) year-on-year. One of the main drivers was the reduction in net fee and commission income to SEK 3,989m (4,406) due to lower market values as well as lower interchange fees on cards. Net interest income continued to increase to SEK 6,651m (6,226) while operating expenses remained stable at SEK 5,244m (5,199). Credit losses remained at low levels and amounted to SEK 313m which corresponded to a credit loss level of 6 basis points.

The annual EPSI (SKI) survey on bank customer satisfaction was published in October. The main finding was an industry-wide downturn in customer satisfaction. SEB's scores decreased too, however, to a lesser degree than for Swedish peers. In the private segment the score was largely unchanged.

• Continued lending growth in all three Baltic countries and increased customer activity

  • New digital functionality launched
  • Operating profit higher in the third quarter

Comments on the first nine months

The GDP development in the Baltic countries continued to be positive, driven by exports, investments and private consumption. In general, corporate customers have been able to mitigate the effects of the Russian sanctions.

Corporate and mortgage loan volumes increased in all Baltic countries from year-end to SEK 117bn (106). In particular there was growth in Lithuania. The deposit volumes increased to SEK 101bn (94).

Lending margins remained relatively stable across the portfolio with slightly higher margins on new private loans. Net interest income was higher than the first nine months 2015 driven by the loan volume and margin increases. The deposit margins prevailing in the Baltic countries were relatively low. The fee and commission income was higher

partly driven by increasing customer activity. Operating profit, excluding a one-off expense in the amount of SEK 68m in the first quarter, was 5 per cent higher year-on-year. Underlying operating expenses were lower. Asset quality was in general good with a credit loss level of 4 points.

Digital initiatives continued. During the third quarter several on-line functions were launched: new account opening for SME customers, debit cards in Estonia, consumer finance in Latvia and Lithuania and chat functionality in Latvia. SEB won awards from Global Finance magazine for Best Corporate/ Institutional Digital Banks in Estonia and Lithuania and for Best Consumer Digital Bank in all three countries.

The real estate holding companies held assets at a total book value of SEK 1,149m (1,739).

  • SEB's traditional life insurance now an option in the Swedish collective agreement market
  • Intensified sustainability focus through strengthened owner dialogues
  • Improved result in the third quarter

Comments on the first nine months

The digital advisory tool for the Swedish life insurance business – Trygghetsplaneraren – was developed further. Customers are now able to set individual goals for pension and life insurance coverage. This enables an initiated discussion between the advisor and the customer based on individual needs and the current life situation.

SEB became one of the traditional life insurance providers to a major collective agreement (SAF-LO). SEB's market share in the total Swedish life insurance market increased to 9.4 per cent (measured as weighted volume of new sales for the 12 month period ending June 2016) and the market position improved from number five to number four. SEB's investment result was among the highest in the Swedish traditional life insurance market.

The fierce competition in the Danish pension market continued. The long-term investment strategy was successful and provided top three returns for SEB Pension's customers.

SEB maintained a leading position in Morningstar's longterm performance valuation of the largest fund providers in Sweden. The intensified effort to integrate sustainability into the investment processes is materialising. SEB implemented a stricter policy on carbon emissions and signed an agreement with Hermes EOS, a leader in corporate dialogues, to strengthen owner dialogues outside the Nordic region.

The operating profit decreased during the first nine months compared to last year primarily due to lower base commissions and performance fee income. However, the fee and commission income increased during the third quarter due to increasing asset values. In the life business, total premium income from both new and existing life insurance policies decreased by 1 per cent compared to last year. Weighted sales decreased by 4 per cent compared to last year to SEK 40bn.

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 2015. 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

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.

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.

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 Q2 2016 Derivative liabilities (European Swaptions), within the insurance holdings, at the amount of SEK 5.3bn have been transferred from Level 3 into Level 2. The availability of market data motivates the transfer.

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. At the end of Q1 2016, basis for calculating sensitivities for Interest Rate Swaptions, within Insurance Holdings - Financial instruments, have changed from stressing the market value to stressing the implied volatility.

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.

Event triggering reallocation of goodwill

In conjunction with SEB´s reorganisation as of 1 January 2016 goodwill has been reallocated to appropriate Cash Generating Units (CGUs) The CGU structure for impairment testing purposes before the re-organisation was to a large extent aligned with operating segments, except for Card and Life. The new customer centric organisation will be fundamental for management in steering and measuring the business going forward. Management´s focus on different customer segments will increase and therefore the change of CGU to be aligned with the business unit (BU) combined with geography to reflect the importance of steering and measuring the new customer centric organisation.

Principle for allocation of goodwill

The new and more customer centric organisation leads to that the former Wealth division is integrated into the current customer-oriented divisions and the supporting division Life & Investment Management. The reorganisation triggers the reallocation. The guiding principle for the allocation of goodwill has been to identify the original acquisition from where the goodwill derives and match that with the new CGU (BU and geography). The appropriate CGUs have been deemed to be the CGUs at the time of the acquisitions made between 1996 and 2008. In total 104 CGUs have been identified and goodwill has been allocated to 14 as presented in the table below. Until year-end 2015 there were six CGUs presented in the table below. The CGUs equalled the operating segments with the exception of Card and Life.

The Equities and Corporate business in Sweden and Norway were acquired in a linked transaction and the Investment Management activities in UK and BVI as well. Card in Norway and Sweden is related to the Eurocard business and Investment Management in Finland and Denmark represents the same type of business and the amounts are minor.

2) Internally assessed.

CGUs with no future cash flow

For four of the new CGUs that had an original goodwill allocated there is no future cash flow due to changes in strategy for Internet/Telephone bank in Sweden, Retail Norway and Investment Management based in UK and British Virgin Islands and therefore the goodwill is impaired.

Result of impairment test

Impairment test results in six units where the goodwill is fully impaired and one unit where it is partially impaired. Three units have goodwill with no need of impairment. The impairment is reported as Depreciation, amortisation and impairment of tangible and intangible assets within Other in the income statement.

Estimates and assumptions used - future cash flows

Future cash flows

The impairment test on goodwill is based on value in use and builds on the business plans for year 1-3 and projected cash flows for year 4-5. The long term growth in all geographies is based on expectations on inflation 1.5 per cent. The allocated capital is derived from the Group's internal capital allocation model that has been aligned with the regulatory capital requirements including the management buffer. The cash flows in the business plans starts with the assumptions from the most recent Nordic outlook published. The main assumptions are; GDP growth in Sweden from 3.6 per cent to 2.5 per cent over three years and other Nordic countries excluding Sweden from 1.5 per cent to 2.0 per cent; inflation in Sweden from 1.0 per cent to 2.3 per cent and in Other Nordic countries from 1.5 per cent to 2.0 per cent. The repo rate in Sweden is assumed to increase to 0.75 per cent end of 2017. In addition to the assumptions financial effects from specific actions according to SEB's long term strategy are added. Year 4-5 projections includes regulatory uncertainties like Basel III proposals that increase capital needs.

Cost of Equity (CoE) - discount rate

The associated risk in each specific business unit and geography has been reflected in the respective CoE for each CGU. Investment Management´s discount rate is higher, 11.5 per cent than the SEB Group´s average due to regulatory uncertainty related to limitations to retrocessions, possible further margin squeeze and the current negative interest environment that can create squeezed asset prices and volatility. For Life Denmark discount rate is higher, 11.5 per cent, than the SEB Group´s average due to the distribution model might be more dependent on own channels and uncertainty related to limitations in retrocessions. The base discount rate used in the impairment test at the end of 2015 is unchanged at 9.5 per cent post-tax for SEB Group and is determined based on information from external sources.

Sensitivities

The sensitivity analysis carried out did not result in calculated recoverable amounts below the carrying amounts for Card Norway, Card Denmark and Life Sweden. However, calculated recoverable amounts for Investment Management Sweden is sensitive to changes in the main assumptions. An increase of one percentage of the discount rate (CoE), a decrease of the growth rates by one percentage point for earnings before amortisations during the projection period and a decrease of one percentage point of the long term growth would lead to a recoverable amount of SEK 307m lower than the carrying amount. The increase in the discount rate implies lower value of the cashflows due to time value of money, the decrease of the growth rate of earnings before amortisations year 1-5 leads to lower result and thereby lower cashflows. The lowering of the long term growth has the same effect on earnings before amortization and the decrease of the long term growth rate on allocated internal capital leads to lower capital needs and thereby releases of cash flows.

Change in risk exposure amount (REA)

REA increased by SEK 32bn since year-end 2015. The increase was largely driven by corporate credit volumes and currency effects contributed further to the growth. Market risk REA declined in the first quarter but has been stable since. The Additional REA that was established in the fourth quarter of 2015 in agreement with the SFSA as a measure of prudence, increased by SEK 5.1bn to SEK 14bn.

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.
