The Savings segment reported a profit of NOK 135m (NOK 135m) in the 3rd quarter 2018. Growth within Unit linked savings contribute positively to the result. Investments for growth in the retail savings market increase costs in the Norwegian Unit linked business.

The Insurance segment reported a profit of NOK 153m (NOK 186m) in the 3rd quarter. The risk result gives a claims ratio of 65% (65%) in the quarter.

The Guaranteed Pension segment achieved a profit before amortisation of NOK 292m (NOK 244m) for the 3rd quarter. Fee and administration income is stable compared with the same period last year. The products within Guaranteed Pension are in long-term runoff and reduced earnings from this segment are expected over time.

The Other segment includes the return in company portfolios which is driven by the interest rate market.

CAPITAL SITUATION AND TAXES

The Group's target solvency margin in accordance with the new regulations is a minimum of 150%, including use of the transitional rules. The solvency margin for the Storebrand Group was calculated at 169% at the end of the 3rd quarter 2018, including transitional rules. Without transitional rules, the solvency margin was 166%. Storebrand uses the standard model for the calculation of Solvency II. The solvency margin without transitional rules strengthened due to good investment returns and increased interest rates as well as a strong operating result. The increase in volatility adjustment largely compensated for a large part the negative effect on the solvency margin from decreased interest rates. The value of the transitional measures are reduced in the quarter.

Storebrand Livsforsikring AS had a solvency margin after transitional rules of 215% as of the first three quarters (without transitional rules, the solvency margin is calculated at 212%). The Storebrand Livsforsikring Group is no longer required to report the solvency margin, requirement at consolidated level applies for the Storebrand Group.

Income tax expense has been estimated based on an expected effective tax rate for 2018. The effective tax rate is influenced by the fact that the Group has operations in countries with tax rates that are different from Norway's, and it varies from quarter to quarter depending on each legal entity's contribution to the Group result. The effective tax rate was 33% in the 3rd quarter and 21% year to date. The income tax expence is estimated to be in the range of 18-22% for the year. Proposed changes in tax rules for life insurance companies is expected to reduce quarterly volatility in the effective tax rate.

MARKET AND SALES PERFORMANCE

The growth in Unit linked savings is driven by premiums from existing contracts, investment returns and conversion from defined benefit schemes and increased savings rates. Assets under management in the Unit Linked business in Norway increased by NOK 23bn (31%) relative to the 3rd quarter 2017. In Norway, Storebrand is the market leader in Unit Linked occupational pension with 31% of the market share of gross premiums written (at the end of the 2nd quarter 2018). SPP has a market share of 12% in the Swedish market for other occupational pensions ("Övrig Tjänstepension", at the end of 2nd quarter). Sales of savings products to private individuals in Norway are good.

Savings

• Good return and strong volume growth in the quarter

• Increased costs due to investments in growth

The Savings segment includes products for retirement savings with no interest rate guarantees. The segment consists of defined contribution pensions in Norway and Sweden.

The Savings segment reported a profit before amortisation and tax of NOK 135m (NOK 135m) for for the 3rd quarter.

Fee- and administration income increased by 11% for the quarter. Good returns, customer conversion from defined-benefit to definedcontribution pension schemes, new business and higher savings rates drives income growth. For the Norwegian Unit Linked products, increased competition contributes to moderate margin pressure, while there are relatively stable margins in the Swedish business.

Operating expenses increased compared to 3rd quarter previous year due to underlying growth in the business.

BALANCE SHEET AND MARKET TRENDS

The premiums for non-guaranteed occupational pensions were NOK 4.1bn in the 3rd quarter, an increase of 12% compared to previous year.

Total reserves within the Unit Linked business have increased by 5% in the 3rd quarter and 18% over the last year, and amounted to NOK 187bn at the end of the quarter. Assets under management in the Unit Linked business in Norway increased by NOK 4.8bn (5%) in the quarter and NOK 23bn (31%) over last year, including the acquisition of Silver AS with NOK 8.5bn. The underlying growth is driven by premium payments for existing contracts, returns and conversion from defined benefit schemes. In Norway, Storebrand is the market leader in Unit Linked with 31% of the market share of gross premiums written (at the end of the 2nd quarter).

In the Swedish market, SPP is the fourth largest actor in the Other Occupational Pensions segment with a market share of 12% measured by premium income from Unit Linked. Customer assets increased by SEK 3.5bn (4%) in the 3rd quarter and SEK 12bn (14%) from the previous year.

In the third quarter, Insurance delivered a result before amortisation of NOK 153m (NOK 186m). Overall combined ratio for the quarter was 79% (81%).

The 3rd quarter claims ratio was 65% (65%) and the underlying risk development is satisfactory. Individual insurance coverage has a good development due to lower disability. Group Life continues to deliver a good risk result. The risk result for Group Disability Pension is significantly improved. During the period, there has been low disability, most likely due to recovery of economic conditions in Norway.

The cost ratio ended at 15% (16%) in the 3rd quarter. Fewer FTEs allocated to Insurance explain the decrease from last year.

Insurance's investment portfolio in Norway amounted to NOK 6.3bn as of the 3rd quarter. It is primarily invested in fixed income securities with a short to medium duration. 1

BALANCE SHEET AND MARKET TRENDS

Premium (annual) amounts to NOK 2.670m (NOK 2.704m) in the 3rd quarter.

For risk cover in connection with defined-contribution pensions in Norway, future growth is expected to be driven by GDP and salary growth. The new disability pension regulations, which entered into force on 1 January 2016, have resulted in a lower premium volume.

Guaranteed Pension achieved a profit before amortisation of NOK 292m (NOK 244m) for the 3rd quarter and NOK 925m year to date (NOK 735m).

Fee and administration income has performed consistent with the fact that a large part of the portfolio is mature and in long-term decline. Income was NOK 369m (NOK 380m) for the 3rd quarter and NOK 1 107m year to date (NOK 1 108m).

The operating costs are gradually being reduced due to the area being in long-term decline and amounted to NOK 181m (NOK 212m) for the 3rd quarter and NOK 602m year to date (NOK 649m).

The risk result life & pensions was NOK 91m (NOK 9m) for the 3rd quarter and NOK 134m year to date (NOK 49m). For the 3rd quarter the risk result in the Norwegian business was strong at NOK 83m (NOK 0m) based on improved portfolio and satisfactory disability development.

In the Swedish business the risk result returned to normal levels after a one-off effect in the 2nd quarter.

The result from profit sharing and loan losses consists of profit sharing and financial effects. The result was NOK 13m (NOK 66m) for the 3rd quarter and NOK 285m for the year to date (NOK 227m). The result was generated in the Swedish business and was moderate in the quarter driven by marginal positive levels on all items (profit sharing, indexation charges and deferred capital contribution). The Norwegian business is prioritising the build-up of buffers and reserves instead of profit sharing between customers and owners.

BALANCE SHEET AND MARKET TRENDS

The majority of products are closed for new business, and the customers' choice about transferring from guaranteed to non-guaranteed products is in line with the Group's strategy. As of the 3rd quarter, customer reserves for guaranteed pensions amounted to NOK 258bn, which is a decrease of approximately NOK 6.7bn year to date. The total premium income for guaranteed pensions (excluding transfers) was NOK 0.9bn (NOK 1.0bn) for the 3rd quarter and NOK 4.2bn year to date (NOK 5.2bn).

In the Norwegian business, paid-up policies was the only guaranteed pension portfolio experiencing growth, which amounted to NOK 133bn as of the 3rd quarter. This is an increase of NOK 4.8bn year to date. Since 2014, customers have been given the choice to convert from traditional paid-up policies to paid-up policies with investment choice. Conversions amounted to NOK 250m year to date. Paid-up policies with investment choice are included in the Savings segment. Reserves for defined-benefit pensions in Norway amounted to NOK 34bn at the end of the 3rd quarter, a decline of NOK 2bn year to date.

Guaranteed portfolios in the Swedish business totalled NOK 77bn as of the 3rd quarter, a reduction of NOK 9bn year to date. However, the main reason for the reduction is attributed to changes in the SEK/NOK exchange rate. The underlying reduction is NOK 1.5 bn when adjusted for currency effects.

The Other segment reported a profit of NOK 35m (NOK 24m) for the 3rd quarter. Fee and administration income is associated to Benco's business being wound down over a long-term.

The financial result for the Other segment includes the company portfolios of SPP and Storebrand Life Insurance as well as the net result for subsidiaries.

The Storebrand Life Insurance Group is funded by a combination of equity and subordinated loans. Given the interest rate level at the end of the 3rd quarter, interest expenses of approximately NOK 80m per quarter are expected. The company portfolios in the Norwegian and Swedish life insurance companies amounted to NOK 21bn at end of the quarter.

The investments are primarily in interest-bearing securities, with short maturities, in Norway and Sweden. The Norwegian company portfolio reported a return of 0.48% for the quarter. The Swedish company portfolio provided a return of minus 0.05% in the quarter.

Balance sheet and capital situation

Continuous monitoring and active risk management is a core area of Storebrand's business. Risk and solidity are both followed up on at the Group level and in the legal entities. Regulatory requirements for financial strength and risk management follow the legal entities to a large extent. The section is thus divided up by legal entities.

STOREBRAND LIVSFORSIKRING GROUP

The Solidity capital1 measures the amount of IFRS capital available to cover customer liabilities. The solidity capital amounted to NOK 57.7bn at the end of 3rd quarter 2018, an decrease of NOK 0.2bn in 3rd quarter and NOK 6.3bn year to date. The change in the quarter is due to increased customer buffers in the Swedish business, decreased customer buffer in the Norwegian business and dividend paid to Storebrand ASA. A subordinated loan of NOK 1.5bn was called in the 2nd quarter.

STORBRAND LIVSFORSIKRING AS

The market value adjustment reserve increased during the 3rd quarter by NOK 0.1bn and decreased with NOK 0.9bn year to date and amounted to NOK 2.8bn at the end of the 3rd quarter of 2018. The additional statutory reserves are almost unchanged in the 3rd quarter and year to date and amounted to NOK 8.3bn at the end of the 3rd quarter of 2018. The excess value of bonds and loans valued at amortised cost decreased in the 3rd quarter by NOK 1.3bn and by NOK 3.5bn year to date and amounted to NOK 5.1bn at the end of the 3rd quarter 2018 due to increases in interest rates. The excess value of bonds and loans at amortised cost is not included in the financial statements.

ALLOCATION OF GUARANTEED CUSTOMER ASSETS

Customer assets increased by NOK 4.9bn in the 3rd quarter and NOK 20.0bn year to date due to positive returns and acquisition of Storebrand Silver's pension portfolio in 1st quarter. Customer assets totaled NOK 279bn at the end of the 3rd quarter of 2018. Customer assets within non-guaranteed savings increased NOK 4.8bn during the 3rd quarter and NOK 18.1bn year to date. Guaranteed customer assets were unchanged during the 3rd quarter and increased by NOK 1.9bn year to date.

CUSTOMER BUFFERS

1) Consists of equity, subordinated loan capital, market value adjustment reserve, risk equalisation reserve, unrealised gains/losses on bonds and loans at amortised cost, additional statutory reserves, conditional bonuses.

SPP

CUSTOMER BUFFERS

The buffer capital amounted to SEK 7.3bn (SEK 6,8bn in the second quarter) at the close of the 3rd quarter.

ALLOCATION OF GUARANTEED CUSTOMER ASSETS

Total assets under management in SPP were SEK 178bn for the 3rd quarter. This corresponds to an increase of 6.5% compared with the 3rd quarter of 2017. For customer assets in non-guaranteed savings, assets under management totalled SEK 97bn (SEK 83.3bn) at the end of 3rd quarter, which corresponds to an increase of 14.3%, compared with the 3rd quarter of 2017.

Outlook

STRATEGY

Storebrand follows a twofold strategy. First, Storebrand aims to build a world class Savings Group supported by Insurance. Storebrand is the market leader in pension solutions to Norwegian businesses and a challenger in the Swedish market, and uniquely positioned in the growing retail savings market. Second, through cost control and disciplined use balance sheet capital Storebrand aims to increase return to shareholders. The guaranteed business in long term run off is projected to release NOK 10bn in the next ten years until 2027.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

The market for defined-contribution pensions is growing, and Storebrand's total reserves within Unit Linked increased by 18% in the last 12 months. Continued good growth for definedcontribution pensions is expected in the future. The loyalty program for employees with companies that have a pension scheme at Storebrand remains an important area of focus.

The Guaranteed Pension segment is in long term runoff and the reserves for the Guaranteed Defined Benefit solutions are decreasing. However, there is continued growth in the reserves linked to paid-up policies due to companies choosing to convert existing defined-benefit schemes to defined-contribution schemes. It is expected that the growth in paid-up policies will decline in the the next few years and that there will be flat growth in reserves over several years before the reserves start to fall. The portfolio of paidup policies makes a limited contribution towards the Group results with the present interest rates. Guaranteed reserves represent an increasingly smaller share of the Group's total pension reserves and were 59.1% at the end of the quarter, a 4.1%-point reduction from the previous year.

RISK

Market risk is the Group's biggest risk. In the Board's self-assessment of risk and solvency (ORSA) process, developments in interest rates, credit spreads, and equity and property values are considered to be the biggest risks that influence the solvency of the Group. Storebrand has adapted to the low interest rates by increasing duration in portfolios and building up buffer capital. The level of the average annual interest rate guarantee is gradually reduced as older policies with higher guarantees are phased out. In the long term, continued low interest rates will represent a risk for products with guaranteed high interest rates. Storebrand has adjusted its asset allocation by building a robust portfolio with bonds at amortised cost to achieve the guaranteed interest rate. For insurance risk, increased longevity

and the development in disability are the factors that have greatest influence on solvency. Operational risk may have an effect on solvency. The risk is closely monitored.

INDIVIDUAL PENSION ACCOUNT

The Norwegian Ministry of Finance is expected to present a bill proposing a scheme for individual pension accounts to parliament before Christmas 2018. The proposal will be based on existing pension accounts in active defined contribution schemes. Defined contribution capital certificates issued by previous employers ("pensjonskapitalbevis") will be transferred into the active scheme based on a principle of "negative acceptance". This means the holder of a certificate actively has to make a choice to stay with its current provider. Connecting the active schemes and the capital certificates may lead to a risk for increased margin pressure. Storebrand currently has a higher market share for active defined contribution schemes than for certificates from such schemes. We would therefore expect some new net inflows of certificates as a result of the proposed changes. Main principles of the Ministry's proposals gained broad support in the consultation round.

NEW PUBLIC SERVICE PENSION

The Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs has reached an agreement with the labour market parties on a new occupational pension schemes for the public sector. The existing defined benefit scheme will be closed, so that only employees born in 1962 and earlier will continue in the old scheme. Employees born in 1963 and later will earn new pension rights in a hybrid-based scheme from 2020. Storebrand is considering business opportunities related to the new product.

REPORT ON PAID-UP POLICIES

An interdepartmental working group with participants from the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs and the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway, has presented a report with proposals for changes in regulation for guaranteed pension products, including paid-up policies.

The Working Group assessed the regulations for profit sharing and buffer building, as well as rules regulating the transfer of pension assets between providers. Changes in these parameters leading to more long term investment strategies are expected to have positive effects for customers and shareholders. The Working Group's report was published in September 2018. The Ministry of Finance will now consider the Working Groups proposals.

POTENTIAL CHANGE IN TAX RULES FOR INSURANCE COMPANIES IN NORWAY

The Ministry of Finance has proposed changes in tax rules for life insurance companies. The aim of the proposed changes is to establish a clear distinction between customer and corporate funds in terms of taxation. The changes will apply with effect from the tax year 2018. Under the new rules, life insurance companies' profits as well as gains on corporate funds will be subject to tax. Customer funds will no longer incur tax losses that give rise to tax losses carried forward for the companies. Tax losses carried forward that have already been recognised will not be affected.

The transition rules to the new regime can have effects at year-end. Storebrand is working to interpret and implement the transition rules.

Note 01

Accounting policies

The Group's interim financial statements include Storebrand Livsforsikring AS, subsidiaries, associated and joint-ventures companies. The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the "Regulation on the annual accounts etc. of lifeinsurance companies" for the parent company and the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The interim financial statements do not contain all the information that is required in full annual financial statements.

A description of the accounting policies applied in the preparation of the financial statements is provided in the 2017 annual report, and the interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with these accounting policies.

There is none new or amended accounting standards that entered into effect as at 1 January 2018 that have caused significant effects on Storebrand's interim financial statements.

Storebrand Livsforsikring AS - the company's financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles that were used in the annual report for 2017.

During 2018 no changes were made to the classification in the accounts. Storebrand Livsforsikring AS has completed a merger with the fully owned subsidiary Storebrand Silver Pensjonsforsikring AS. See note 4 for further information.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments will replace the current IAS39. IFRS 9 is applicable from 1 January 2018. For insurance-dominated groups and companies, IFRS 4 allows for either the implementation of IFRS 9 to be deferred (deferral approach) or to enter the differences between IAS39 and IFRS 9 through Other Comprehensive Income (overlay approach) until implementation of IFRS 17 on 1 January 2021. The Storebrand Group qualifies for temporary deferral of IFRS 9 because over 90 per cent of the Group's total liabilities as at 31 December 2015 relates to the insurance business. Storebrand Group will implement IFRS 9 together with IFRS 17, applicable from 1 January 2021.

The new standard IFRS 15 for recognising revenue from contracts with customers entered into force from 1 January 2018, and replaced IAS18. Revenue recognition in the Storebrand Group is primarily regulated by IAS39/IFRS9 and IFRS4. Revenue that will be recognised under Other Income is assessed in relation to IFRS 15. The implementation of IFRS15 have no impact on the Group result in Storebrand's consolidation financial statements.

Estimates Note

02

In preparing the Group's financial statements the management are required to make estimates, judgements and assumptions of uncertain amounts. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are based on historical experience and expectations of future events and represent the management's best judgement at the time the financial statements were prepared.

Actual results may differ from these estimates.

A description of the most critical estimates and judgements that can affect recognised amounts is included in the 2017 annual report in note 2, insurance risk, in note 7 and valuation of financial instruments and real estate at fair value is described in note 12 and in the interim financial statements note 11 Solvency II.

Acquisition

On 24 October 2017 Storebrand Livsforsikring AS entered into an agreement to acquire Silver Pensjonsforsikring (Silver). The transaction was completed in January 2018 after Silver is released from administration. The transaction was completed in two parts, with one part as an acquisition of part of insuranceportfolio, and the other part as an acquisition of Storebrand Silver Pensjonsforsikring AS with its remaining insurance portfolio (amounted NOK 0.3 billion) and operations. The remaining insurance portfolio for Storebrand Silver Pensjonsforsikring consisting of pension capital certificates and individual pension contracts with no guarantee. Before acquisition as a part of the administration solution, Silver's portfolio of paid-up policies has been converted to paid-up policies with investment options (FMI) for retirement pension coverage, amounted NOK 8.3 billion. Risk cover (paidup policies) is continued based on a reduced base rate of 2.75%, amounted NOK 1.4 billion. Storebrand Livsforsikring AS paid a purchase price of NOK 520 million. The purchase price has been transferred to Silver's customers as a part of the administration solution, and contributes to maintaining good pensions for the customers.

The amount of NOK 520 million has been transferred to Silver's customers, and in the acquisition analysis the excess value of the acquisition will be allocated to the insurance contracts (VIF –value of business in force) amounted NOK 280 million, which are amortised over 10 years, reserve strength due to transition to Storebrand's tariffs amounted NOK 97 million, deferred tax asset amounted NOK 374 million and negative goodwill amounted NOK 37 million.

Segments - profit by business area

Storebrand´s operation include the segments Savings, Insurance, Guaranteed Pension and Other.

SAVINGS

Savings segment consists of products that include long-term saving for retirement with no explicit long-term interest rate guarantees. The area includes fundbased insurance (Unit Linked and defined contribution pensions) to individuals and companies in Norway and Sweden. In addition it also includes certain other subsidiaries.

INSURANCE

Insurance segment consists of products that include personal risk products in the Norwegian and Swedish retail market and employee- and pension-related insurances in the Norwegian and Swedish corporate market.

GUARANTEED PENSION

Guaranteed pension segment consists of products that include long-term saving for retirement, where customers have a guaranteed return or performance of savings funds. The area includes defined benefit pensions in Norway and Sweden, paid-up policies and individual capital and pension insurances.

OTHER

Under the category 'Other', the performance of the company's portfolios in Storebrand Livsforsikring and SPP are reported. It also includes results related to operations in subsidiaries including BenCo, which through Nordben and Euroben offer pension products to multi-national companies.

RECONCILIATION WITH THE OFFICIAL PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNTING

Profit in the segments are reconciled with the corporate profit and loss account before amortisation and write-downs of intangible assets. The corporate profit and loss account includes gross income and gross costs linked to both the insurance customers and owners. In addition are the savings element in premium income and in costs related to insurance. The various segments are to a large extent followed up on net profit margins, including risk and administration results. The result lines that are used in segment reporting will therefore not be identical with the result lines in the corporate profit and loss account. See note 4 in 2017 Annual report for more information.

Note 06

Financial market risk and insurance risk

Risks are described in note 7 (Insurance risk), note 8 (Financial market risk), note 9 (Liquidity risk), note 10 (Credit exposure), note 11 (Concentration of risk) in the annual report for 2017.

Market risk means changes in the value of assets as a result of unexpected volatility or changes in prices in the financial markets. It also refers to the risk that the value of the insurance liability develops differently to that of the assets.

The most significant market risks for Storebrand are share market risk, credit risk, property price risk, interest rate risk and exchange rate risk. For the life insurance companies, the financial assets are invested in a variety of sub-portfolios. Market risk affects Storebrand's income and profit differently in the different portfolios. There are three main types of sub-portfolio: company portfolios, customer portfolios without a guarantee (unit linked) and customer portfolios with a guarantee.

The market risk in the company portfolios and the subsidiaries that are not life insurance companies or included in the customer portfolios has a direct impact on Storebrand's profit.

The market risk in customer portfolios without a guarantee is at the customers' risk and expense, meaning Storebrand is not directly affected by changes in value. Nevertheless, changes in value do affect Storebrand's profit indirectly. Income is based largely on the size of the reserves, while the costs tend to be fixed. Lower returns on the financial market than expected will therefore have a negative effect on Storebrand's income and profit.

For customer portfolios with a guarantee, the net risk for Storebrand will be lower than the gross market risk. The extent of measures to reduce risk depends on several factors, the most important being the size and flexibility of the customer buffers and level and duration of the return guarantee. If the investment return is not sufficiently high to meet the guaranteed interest rate, the shortfall will be met by using customer buffers in the form of risk capital built up from previous years' surpluses. Risk capital primarily consists of unrealised gains, additional statutory reserves and conditional bonuses. The owner is responsible for meeting any shortfall that cannot be covered. For guaranteed customer portfolios, the risk is affected by changes in the interest rate level. Falling interest rates are positive for the investment return in the short term due to price appreciation for bonds, but negative in the long term because it reduces the probability of achieving a return higher than the guarantee.

The equity market started the year on a positive note, but after reaching a peak in January, the uncertainty and volatility has increased. Initially, the market feared that a stronger labor market and less accommodating central banks could trigger higher interest rates. During the second quarter, the main concern has been the rising trade war and expected imposed tariffs. The political situation in Italy has also caused increased volatility. During the third quarter, the equity market has been strong.

The global equity market increased by 7 % during the first three quarters of the year. The Norwegian equity market rose 15 % on the back of rising oil-price. The market for corporate bonds has been affected by increased uncertainty, and there has been an increase in credit spreads since the beginning of the year.

Interest rates rose at the start of the year across all markets, but then fell back in many markets as the concern for increased inflation receded. For the first three quarters of the year the Norwegian 10-year interest rate swap increased by 0.4 pp. The Swedish 10-year interest swap rate increased by 0.1 pp. Due to the majority of the interest rate investments in the Norwegian customer portfolios being held at amortized cost, changes in interest rates have a limited effect on expected returns in the short term. However, with the present interest rates, new bond investments provide a lower return than the average interest rate guarantee. Higher interest rates are a positive factor for the solvency position

The Norwegian krone has strengthened during the first three quarters of the year against the Swedish krona and the Euro, but is little changed against the US dollar. The increase is 4 % against the Euro and 8 % against the Swedish krona. A high degree of currency hedging in the portfolio means that the exchange rate fluctuations have a modest effect on results and risk.

There are minor changes in investment allocations during the first three quarters of the year.

Guaranteed portfolios in Norway on average provided returns that were almost in line with the interest rate guarantee in the first three quarters of the year. The return therefore has little impact on the results. Excess values of portfolios at amortized cost fell in the first three quarters of the year due to the increase in interest rates. Guaranteed portfolios in Sweden gave returns that were slightly better than the change in value of insurance liabilities, which created a positive result.

On average, unit linked insurance customers in Norway had positive returns during the first three quarters of the year. In Sweden, the return was even better, helped by a positive currency effect on international equity funds from the weak Swedish krona.

Insurance risk is the risk of higher than expected payments and/or an unfavorable change in the value of an insurance liability due to actual developments deviating from what was expected when premiums or provisions were calculated. Most of the insurance risk for the group is related to life insurance. Changes in longevity is the greatest risk because higher longevity means that the guaranteed benefits must be paid over a longer period. There are also risks related to disability and early death.

The insurance risk has only had minor changes during the first three quarters of the year.

Note 09

Tax

The National Budget 2019, which was published on 8 October 2018, calls for changes in the taxation of insurance and pension undertakings with effect from 1 January 2018. The aim of the proposals is to establish a distinction between customer and corporate funds in terms of taxation. It is pointed out that all of the circumstances related to the proposed amendments have not been clarified, and the proposal will not be formally adopted by the Storting until December 2018 when the National Budget for 2019 is debated.

Hence, the proposed amendments to the Norwegian Tax Code have not been incorporated into the accounts as at the 3rd quarter of 2018, since this is considered an event after the balance sheet date that is not to be taken into account. The income tax expense as at the 3rd quarter has been estimated based on existing rules.

The tax rate for the Storebrand Livsforsikring Group will vary from quarter to quarter depending on the individual legal entities' contribution to earnings. The net income tax expense for the quarter and year also reflects effects that each give a higher or lower effective tax rate. The effective tax rate is influenced by the fact that the Storebrand Livsforsikring Group has operations in countries with tax rates that are different from Norway.

In addition, the Storebrand Livsforsikring Group includes Norwegian entities that are both subject to and not subject to the financial tax. Therefore, the company tax rate that applies for the individual Norwegian Group companies, i.e. 23% or 25%, is used in the consolidated financial statements.

Note 11

Solvency II

Storebrand Livsforsikring is an insurance company with capital requirements in accordance with Solvency II.

The calculations below are for Storebrand Livsforsikring AS when Storebrand Livsforsikring Group no longer entitled to report solvency. The requirement on consolidated level only applies to Storebrand Group.

The solvency capital requirement and minimum capital requirement are calculated in accordance with Section 8 and 22 of the Solvency II Regulations using the standard method and include the effect of the transitional arrangement for shares pursuant to Section 58 of the Solvency II Regulations.

The models used as a basis for the calculation of capital requirements and solvency capital are based on a number of requirements and assumptions that are partly specified in the regulations and partly interpreted by Storebrand based on the regulations. The most important assumptions and estimates in the calculation relate to the risk-reducing capacity of deferred tax, future margins and reserve developments, as well as the value of the customers guarantees and options. The assumptions and estimates are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are based on historical experience and expectations of future events and represent the management's best judgment at the time the financial statement were prepared. Changes to the regulations, methods and interpretations may be made that could affect the Solvency II margin in the future.

The solvency capital largely appears as net assets in the Solvency II balance sheet with the addition of eligible subordinated loans and deducted for own shares and ineligible minority interests. The solvency capital is therefore significantly different to book equity in the financial statements. Technical insurance reserves are calculated in accordance with the standard method and include the effect of the transitional arrangement pursuant to Section 56 (1) - (6) of the Solvency II Regulations. The transitional arrangement entails that the increase in the value of the technical insurance reserves is phased in gradually over a period of 16 years. The composition of solvency capital appears in the table below.

The solvency capital is divided into three capital groups in accordance with Section 6 of the Solvency II Regulations. Group 1 capital consists of paid-in capital and reconciliation reserve2 . It also includes perpetual subordinated loans (perpetual hybrid Tier 1 capital) with up to 20 per cent of Group 1 capital.

Other subordinated loans (time limited) and risk equalisation reserve are categorised as Group 2 capital. Group 2 capital can cover up to 50 per cent of the solvency capital requirement and up to 20 per cent of the minimum capital requirement. Eligible minority interests and deferred tax assets are categorised as Group 3 capital. Group 3 capital can cover up to 15 per cent of the solvency capital requirement. Group 3 capital cannot be used to cover the minimum capital requirement.

Subordinated loans issued prior to 17 January 2015 are covered by a transitional arrangement that will continue until 2026 and during this period these loans will qualify as Group 1 capital despite them not fully satisfying the requirements for viable capital in the Solvency II regulations.

2) Profit earned that is included as equity in the financial statements must be replaced by the reconciliation reserve in the solvency balance. The reconciliation reserve also includes profit earned, but based on the valuation of assets and liabilities in the solvency balance. The reconciliation reserve will also include the present value of future profits. The value of future profits is implicitly included as a consequence of the valuation of the insurance liability.

The capital requirement in Solvency II appears as the total of changes in solvency capital calculated under different types of stress, less diversification. The largest part of the capital requirement appears from financial market stress and particularly relates to changes in interest rates and falls in the equity markets, as well as increased credit spreads. There is also the insurance risk, for which the most important capital requirement comes from stress relating to the transfer of existing customers within defined contribution pensions. The solvency capital requirement appears in the table below.
