Swedbank again delivered a strong result. We create value for our customers and shareholders in good times and bad.
Economic conditions in our four home markets continued to stabilise. Household purchasing power improved in Latvia and Lithuania thanks to strong wage growth and falling inflation. In Sweden and Estonia, households were somewhat more cautious. Next year, growth in all our four home markets is expected to be higher than in other European countries.
Policy rates were cut by both the Riksbank and the European Central Bank. Looking ahead, we expect rates to be further reduced. Meanwhile, interest rates will remain high for longer.
Swedbank's result for the quarter amounted to SEK 8 595m and the return on equity was 17.5 per cent. Net interest income decreased, while commission income increased. Expenses increased and the cost/income ratio rose slightly to 0.35. Credit quality is solid and we saw credit recoveries, mainly attributable to an improved macroeconomic outlook.
Swedbank is maintaining strict cost control. The temporary hiring freeze is having effect and the number of employees decreased in June. The higher investment rate from the previous quarter remains.
Swedbank is the leader in mortgage loans in all our home markets and we are maintaining this position despite tough competition. Loan demand remained stable in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. In Sweden, demand for loan commitments increased, but the overall loan volumes remained muted.
Competition for deposits is high. A strong savings culture is being developed in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania and deposits are stable, supported by strong household finances. In Sweden, we saw an increase in monthly savings even though households were squeezed by high interest rates.
Swedbank's 15/25 strategy included the target of maintaining a sustainable return on equity of at least 15 per cent. We are achieving this by leveraging our business model, growing the share of wallet, growing in prioritised segments, and improving operational efficiency. Through our cloud-based communication platform, we have, among other things, increased the capacity for advisory meetings, and we were able to distribute nearly 1 million calls through the Swedish branch network during the quarter.
The work that is being carried out in our new business area, Premium and Private Banking, is producing results. Since the start of the year, the number of customers that have newly chosen the Private Banking concept has increased by 7 per cent.
The migration of customers to our new and modern savings platform continued. The platform enhances our ability to support our customers improving their financial health, which creates business opportunities.
Corporate lending is performing strongly in Lithuania. This is the result of an increased focus on both existing and potential customers, improved service quality and customised financing solutions.
During the quarter, we took another step in our Nordic strategy by partnering with the Finnish bank Aktia, thereby expanding our corporate offering in Finland in the same way as we have done with partnerships in Norway and Denmark.
Swedbank works systematically and continuously to fight financial crime and the risk of fraud. To further strengthen this work, the Group Function Anti-Financial Crime (AFC) was integrated into Group Products and Advice (GPA), moving these operations closer to the bank's customer, product and service offerings with digital execution in focus. AFC is renamed Economic Crime Prevention (ECP).
During the quarter, we laid a stable foundation for personalised fraud protection. In a new security portal in our internet bank and app, customers now set transaction amount limits themselves.
We adopted a climate target in May for our shipping portfolio, so that climate considerations are integrated into the bank's loan decisions for ship finance.
Together with our customers, we are creating a financially sound and sustainable society – built on financial health for the many. It is gratifying to see an increased interest in pension savings in the shape of unit-linked life insurance. Swedbank Försäkring is now the largest unit-linked life insurance company measured by both premium payments and assets under management.
Our customers' future is our focus.

This interim report contains alternative performance measures that Swedbank considers valuable information for the reader, since they are used by the executive management for internal governance and performance measurement as well as for comparisons between reporting periods. Further information on the alternative performance measures used in the interim report can be found on page 57.
Swedbank's profit increased to SEK 8 595m (8 428). Income increased, as did expenses and the tax expense, while credit impairments decreased. Foreign exchange effects positively impacted profit by SEK 98m before impairments, bank taxes and resolution fees.
The return on equity was 17.5 per cent (16.9) and the cost/income ratio was 0.35 (0.34).
Income increased to SEK 18 237m (18 087) due to higher net gains and losses on financial items, net commission income and other income. Net interest income decreased. Foreign exchange effects positively impacted income by SEK 149m.
Net interest income decreased by 3 per cent to SEK 12 165m (12 599). The decrease was mainly related to increased expenses for market funding. Lower deposit margins also contributed due to a combination of a continued higher share of deposit volume at higher interest rates, as well as lower market interest rates. Net interest income on lending increased slightly.
Net commission income increased by 5 per cent to SEK 4 169m (3 976). Income from asset management increased, mainly due to a market upturn. Income from the card business was seasonally higher and commissions from service concepts rose.
Net gains and losses on financial items increased by 34 per cent to SEK 911m (8682). The largest part of the change was related to higher income from FX trading within Corporates and Institutions as well as positive valuation effects on interest rate derivatives within Group Treasury.
Other income increased by 19 per cent to SEK 991m (831). The increase was mainly related to the cooperation with savings banks, net insurance and the result from partly owned companies.
Expenses increased by 5 per cent to SEK 6 465m (6 185) due to higher staff costs, IT expenses and marketing expenses. Staff costs increased mainly due to the annual salary review in the Baltic countries, but also because there were more employees on average during the quarter. IT development and maintenance contributed to higher expenses. Marketing expenses
were mainly driven by a donation to one of the educational foundations Swedbank has established in Latvia. Foreign exchange effects increased expenses by SEK 50m.
Credit impairments were net positive and comprised recoveries of SEK -289m (144). Updated macroeconomic scenarios of SEK -253m (25) as well as decreased post model adjustments of SEK -43m (-349) contributed positively. A positive profit effect of SEK - 137 from the sale of loans also contributed. This was partly offset by rating and stage migrations of SEK 282m (403) and individually assessed loans of SEK 207m (302).
Bank taxes and resolution fees amounted to SEK 1 045m (1 104).
The tax expense amounted to SEK 2 388m (2 226) and corresponded to an effective tax rate of 21.7 per cent (20.9). The higher effective tax rate in the second quarter was mainly due to non-deductible decreases in the market value of equities.
Swedbank's profit increased to SEK 17 023m (16 683) due to higher income and lower credit impairments, partly offset by higher expenses. Expenses increased mainly due to increased staff costs and IT expenses. Bank taxes in the Baltic countries negatively impacted profit. Foreign exchange effects positively impacted profit by SEK 19m before impairments, bank taxes and resolution fees.
The return on equity was 17.1 per cent (18.6) and the cost income ratio was 0.35 (0.34).

1) Income statement excluding expenses for the administrative fines.
Income increased to SEK 36 324m (35 560) mainly due to higher net commission income. Net gains and losses on financial items also contributed, while net interest income was stable. Other income decreased. Foreign exchange effects positively impacted profit by SEK 31m.
Net interest income amounted to SEK 24 764m (24 704). Net interest income was positively impacted mainly by higher deposit margins resulting from higher market rates, partly offset by higher funding costs. Higher business volumes also had a positive impact.
Net commission income increased by 9 per cent to SEK 8 145m (7 472). The increase was primarily related to asset management, which benefitted from the upturn in market values.
Net gains and losses on financial items increased by 11 per cent to SEK 1 593m (1 441), driven by equity and fixed income trading, valuation effects from derivatives and increased earnings from financing activity within Corporates and Institutions. The result was partly offset by negative valuation effects within Group Treasury.
Other income fell by 6 per cent to SEK 1 822m (1 944). The decrease mainly related to valuation effects within the insurance business and a lower result from partly owned companies.
Expenses increased by 4 per cent to SEK 12 650m (12 127). The increase was mainly driven by higher staff costs related to higher salaries and more employees, as well as higher IT expenses. The increase compared to the same period in 2023 was lower due to the Swedish FSA's administrative fine and the settlement with OFAC in the first quarter of 2023.
Credit impairments were net positive at SEK -145m (965). Improved macroeconomic scenarios and decreased post model adjustments were partly offset by negative rating and stage migrations as well as increased provisions for individually assessed loans. Positive profit effects of SEK -137m from the sale of loans contributed.
Bank taxes and resolution fees amounted to SEK 2 149m (1 362). The increase was mainly due to the fact that Lithuania and Latvia introduced temporary bank taxes.
The income tax expense amounted to SEK 4 614m (4 412), corresponding to an effective tax rate of 21.3 per cent (20.9). The higher effective tax rate in 2024 is mainly due to a higher tax expense both in Estonia as a result of a higher corporate tax rate, and in Sweden due to an increase in non-deductible interest expenses for subordinated loans.
Swedbank mainly conducts business in the product areas of lending, deposits, fund savings and life insurance, and payments.
Lending to customers increased by SEK 8bn to SEK 1 799bn (1 791) during the quarter. Compared to the same quarter in 2023, lending decreased by SEK 4bn. Foreign exchange effects negatively impacted lending volumes by SEK 5bn compared to the first quarter of 2024, and negatively by SEK 12bn compared to the same quarter in 2023.

The net inflow in the Swedish fund market amounted to SEK 80bn (23).
The net inflow to Swedbank Robur's funds in Sweden was at the same level, SEK 10bn (10), as the previous quarter.

For premium income to all types of assets under management, excluding capital transfers, Swedbank's market share in the first quarter (latest available information) was 7 per cent (6 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2023). In the transfer market, Swedbank's market share in the first quarter was 10 per cent (9).
The total number of card transactions acquired by Swedbank during the quarter was 987 million, 4 per cent higher than the same period in 2023. The total number of transactions acquired in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark increased by 26 million, or 3 per cent, while total transactions increased by 7 per cent in the Baltic countries.
Acquired transaction volumes increased in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark by 2 per cent to SEK 235bn and in the Baltic countries by 5 per cent to SEK 38bn compared to the same quarter in 2023. The higher transaction volume comes from a combination of sales growth in consumer staples, a decrease in hotel and restaurant sales, and lower volumes from fuels due to lower prices.
The total number of Swedbank cards in issue at the end of the quarter was 8.5 million, which is slightly higher than the end of the previous quarter.

The number of purchases in Sweden with Swedbank cards increased by 1 per cent during the quarter compared to the same quarter in 2023. A total of 389 million card purchases were made. In the Baltic countries, the number of card purchases increased by 7 per cent in the same period to 263 million during the quarter.
In Sweden, a total of 225 million domestic payments were made during the quarter, in line with the same period in 2023. Swedbank's market share of payments executed via Bankgirot was 34 per cent. In the Baltic countries, 132 million domestic payments were processed, an increase of 12 per cent compared to the same period in 2023.
The number of international payments in Sweden increased by 8 per cent compared to the same quarter in 2023 and amounted to 1.9 million. In the Baltic countries, international payments increased by 18 per cent to 8 million.
The credit quality of Swedbank's lending was solid, while improved macroeconomic scenarios as well as the effect from the sale of loans contributed to credit recoveries. Total credit impairment provisions amounted to SEK 7 731m (8 463), of which SEK 946m (996) was post model adjustments.
In the Swedish mortgage business, loans with late payments and forborne loans increased more slowly than the previous quarter.
The total share of loans in stage 2, gross, amounted to 9.2 per cent (10.2). For personal loans, the corresponding share was 6.8 per cent (7.4) and for corporate loans it was 14.5 per cent (16.3).
The share of loans in stage 3, gross, was 0.53 per cent (0.52).
For more information on credit exposures, provisions and credit quality, see notes 10 and 12-14 as well as pages 40-48 of the Fact book.
With Swedish inflation approaching the Riksbank's target, the Riksbank cut the policy rate by 0.25 percentage points in May. This contributed to lower interest rates in Sweden during the quarter. As inflation remained high, primarily in the U.S., international rates fell at a slightly slower pace. The willingness to invest was high, which meant that credit spreads continued to decrease.
Swedbank was active in the funding markets. During the quarter, issuance primarily consisted of covered bonds in SEK, but also a green senior non-preferred bond in EUR. In total, Swedbank issued SEK 41bn in long-term debt instruments during the quarter. As of 30 June, Swedbank's outstanding short-term funding in issue amounted to SEK 323bn (349). The need for financing is affected by the current liquidity situation, future maturities, and changes in deposit and lending volumes, and therefore is adjusted over the course of the year. For more information on funding and liquidity, see notes 16-18 and pages 57–69 of the Fact book.

During the quarter, Moody's changed its outlook on Swedbank's long-term debt ratings to positive based on an assessment that the work the bank has done to alleviate previous shortcomings has led to lower risks relating to money laundering. No other changes were made to Swedbank's ratings. For more information on the ratings, see page 69 of the Fact book.

Swedbank works continuously to ensure a high level of availability and security for customers. Swedbank periodically tests the resilience to cyberthreats. Given the geopolitical situation, information security and cybersecurity remained high priorities. Some paymentrelated incidents occurred during the quarter, which caused brief disruptions.
The bank is closely collaborating with other members of the Swedish Bankers' Association with the goal of drawing up industry-wide guidelines for protecting customers against fraud. Swedbank invests in and continuously improves technology and implements controls in its digital channels to fight financial crime and protect the bank's customers.
Capital ratio and capital requirement
The Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio was 20.1 per cent (19.3) at the end of the quarter. The total CET1 capital requirement, including Pillar 2 guidance, was 15.1 per cent (15.1) of the Risk Exposure Amount (REA), which resulted in a CET1 capital buffer of 5.0 per cent (4.2). CET1 capital increased to SEK 171bn (166) and was mainly affected by the quarterly profit net of anticipated dividend.
Change in Common Equity Tier 1 capital
(Refers to Swedbank consolidated situation)

REA decreased to SEK 848bn (859) in the second quarter.
During the quarter, a change was made to the probability of default (PD) assignment process and classification of exposures, which led to a decrease in REA for credit risk of SEK 10bn, mainly attributable to the migration of tenant-owner associations from households to corporates, thereby reducing exposures covered by the mortgage floor. This was partly offset by an increase in REA for credit risk mainly due to increased volumes.
Furthermore, REA for credit risks increased by SEK 6bn due to the completion of the implementation of the new PD model for exposures to large corporates. This was offset by a decrease in REA for Article 3 according to the EU's regulation on prudential requirements for credit institutions (CRR) of SEK 10bn, of which SEK 8bn that have been held for implementation of the new PD model in connection with the completion of the migrations.
REA for market risk decreased by SEK 1bn, mainly through a decrease in REA for internal models.
(Refers to Swedbank consolidated situation)

The leverage ratio was 6.7 per cent (6.4) and therefore exceeds the leverage ratio requirement including Pillar 2 guidance of 3.5 per cent.
The Swedish FSA has announced that it intends to extend the risk weight floors for mortgages and
commercial real estate through 2027. The FSA anticipates a continued need for macroprudential measures in the form of risk weight floors until the regulatory capital floor for internal models under the EU's revised Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR 3) (implementation of Basel III) has an equivalent effect. Due to the guidelines from the European Banking Authority (EBA), as well as adaptations to CRR 3, Swedbank is applying for approval of new internal models for risk classification. The review process is expected to continue with the gradual implementation through 2026 and is conditional on the authorities' decisions.
Swedbank previously decided on an Article 3 add-on corresponding to the bank's estimate of the remaining impact on REA of the remaining risk classification models. This add-on has been reduced to SEK 17bn due to the phase-in that has occurred. The Swedish FSA has also introduced a temporary add-on of 1 per cent in the Pillar 2 requirement (P2R) related to the ongoing review of the models. The Resolution Act, which entered into force in 2021, applies the MREL requirement as of 1 January 2024. Swedbank meets the requirements by a wide margin.
The revised Capital Requirements Regulation CRR 3 takes effect in 2025 with a phase-in period through 2032. The revisions include changes to the standardised approaches and internal models used to calculate capital requirements for credit, market and operational risk, as well as a output floor for internal models. The regulation is expected only to result in a limited increase in the REA.
U.S. authorities continue to investigate Swedbank's historical anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing work and historical information disclosures. The investigations, which are being conducted by the Department of Justice (DoJ), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Department of Financial Services in New York (DFS), are continuing and the bank is holding individual discussions with the authorities through its U.S. legal advisors. The investigations are at different stages and the bank cannot at this time determine any financial consequences or when the investigations will be completed.
On 25 April, it was announced that Anti-Financial Crime (AFC) will be integrated into Group Products and Advice (GPA). The change is being made to further strengthen Swedbank's ability to fight financial crime in a more effective way. Meanwhile, the unit is changing its name to Economic Crime Prevention (ECP).
On 20 June, the Swedish FSA ordered Handelsbanken, SEB and Swedbank to address shortcomings in the payment infrastructure. Together with the other banks
that own Bankgirot, a process is underway to address these shortcomings.
Swedbank has invested EUR 4m in the agricultural technology company eAgronom and will become a minority owner. Together with eAgronom, Swedbank offers financing solutions in the Baltic countries for investments in sustainable agriculture.
No significant events have taken place after the end of the period.

In Sweden, demand for loan commitments increased, but in terms of actual mortgage volumes the market remained cautious. Monthly savings to funds and savings accounts grew.
Customer availability increased thanks to the implementation of the cloud-based communication platform. The customer experience was also enhanced through new digital features for personal insurance.

Fraud protection was expanded with features that allow customers to choose their personal limits on transfers and foreign payments.
Swedbank launched a campaign called "Now we are helping the country's 18-year-olds keep better track of their money. One problem less." In connection with the campaign, 18-year-olds have been invited to the bank's branches to receive tools to improve their financial health.
Profit increased during the quarter mainly driven by lower credit impairments.
Net interest income decreased, mainly through lower earnings on deposits.
Mortgage volume in Swedish Banking decreased by SEK 1bn and corporate deposits by SEK 2bn, partly due to customer transfers to other units.
Deposit volumes increased by SEK 13bn, with household deposits increasing by SEK 11bn and corporate deposits by SEK 2bn.
Net commission income increased, mainly driven by higher income from cards and asset management.
Other income increased, mainly due to increased profits from Bankgirot and Entercard.
Expenses decreased mainly driven by lower staff costs.
Credit impairments were net positive and amounted to SEK -154m (83). Positive effects from updated macroeconomic scenarios and from the sale loans were partly offset by negative rating and stage migrations.

A resilient labour market, increased purchasing power and a rate cut by the ECB improved consumer confidence in the Baltic countries. Purchasing power for home purchases rose.
Swedbank has strengthened its position in the Lithuanian corporate lending market due to proactivity and strong advisory expertise. The bank arranged loans as part of the European Investment Fund's guarantee programme, which aims to make loans available to SMEs.

Business activity generally increased in the market and among our clients, partly driven by a belief in falling interest rates.
The bond market remained strong during the quarter with investors willing to take on risk, where Swedbank advised on a number of issues. Activity and volatility in the bond market created an increased need among corporates to manage interest rate risk. FX trading increased mainly due to several large transactions.
During the quarter, Swedbank continued to improve its Nordic offering by entering a strategic partnership with the Finnish bank Aktia. Together with Aktia, the bank will broaden the corporate offering in the Finnish market and increase the range of services available to our clients.
Lending volume increased, mainly driven by the real estate sector and large clients. Lending to mid-sized corporates rose slightly, while it was stable to smaller companies.
Deposit volume decreased due to lower short-term deposits from funds in foreign currency and lower volumes from corporates.
Net interest income decreased during the quarter mainly due to lower deposit margins. The decrease was partly offset by higher lending volumes and margins.
Net commission income was stable. Income from equity-related transactions contributed positively.
Net gains and losses on financial items increased mainly due to higher earnings from FX trading. Corporate bond trading contributed positively.
Expenses increased due to more employees, salary increases in foreign branches, and higher consulting and IT related expenses.
Credit impairments were net positive and amounted to SEK -84m (54). Positive effects from updated macroeconomic scenarios and changes in exposures were partly offset by negative rating and stage migrations as well as increased provisions for individually assessed loans.

Through national expertise and a strong local presence, Premium and Private Banking offers a full range of products and services for customers in Sweden who need convenient access and ongoing personalised advice. The business area also offers asset management for corporate customers and is responsible for the bank's pension distribution.
Demand for qualified advice remained high, and the number of Premium and Private Banking customers increased during the quarter. A strong stock market performance contributed to continued high demand for asset management services. With regard to mortgage loans, demand for loan commitments increased, but in terms of actual mortgage volumes the market remained cautious.
Swedbank's ongoing efforts to support customers in making informed choices about their pension and pension savings resulted in an increased inflow to individual occupational pensions, among other things. Profit was stable during the quarter. Slightly higher income and lower credit impairments were offset by higher expenses.
Net interest income decreased, mainly driven by lower earnings from deposits.
Net commission income increased, mainly due to higher income from asset management, where the market upturn contributed positively.
Expenses increased due to more employees in the new business area.
Household mortgage volume increased by SEK 3bn and deposit volume increased by SEK 1bn, partly due to customer transfers from Swedish Banking.
Credit impairments were net positive and amounted to SEK -27m (-4). Improved macroeconomic scenarios were partly offset by negative rating and stage migrations.

Net interest income and net gains and losses on financial items mainly stem from Group Treasury. Other income mainly refers to income from the savings banks. Expenses mainly relate to Group Products & Advice and Group Staffs and are allocated to a large extent.
During the quarter, profit increased to SEK -738m (-774). Income rose, as did expenses and the tax expense, while credit impairments decreased slightly.
Net interest income increased, mainly due to falling short-term interest rates, which meant a lower return on deposits with the business areas.
Net gains and losses on financial items within Group Treasury rose mainly related to positive changes in the value of interest rate derivatives.
Expenses increased slightly. Staff costs rose, partly offset by lower consulting expenses.

For the period January – June 2024 a gain after tax of SEK 164m (1 310) was recognised in other comprehensive income, relating to remeasurements of defined benefit pension plans. As per 30 June 2024 the discount rate used to calculate the closing pension obligation was 3.67 per cent, compared with 3.69 per cent per 31 December 2023. The inflation assumption was 1.63 per cent compared with 1.57 per cent per 31 December 2023. The fair value of plan assets increased during 2024 by SEK 631m. In total, at 30 June 2024 the fair value of plan assets exceeded the obligation for funded defined benefit pension plans by SEK 2 470m, therefore the funded plans are presented as an asset.
For January – June 2024 an exchange rate difference of SEK 1 450m (3 569) was recognised for the Group's foreign net investments in subsidiaries. The gain related to subsidiaries mainly arose because the Swedish krona weakened against the euro during the period. In addition, an exchange rate difference of SEK 13m (-19) for the Group's foreign net investments in associates and joint ventures is included in Share of other comprehensive income of associates and joint ventures. The total gain of SEK 1 463m is not taxable. Most of the Group's foreign net investments are hedged against currency risk resulting in a loss after tax of SEK -950m (-2 223) for the hedging instruments.

The interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The condensed consolidated financial statements have also been prepared in accordance with the recommendations and statements of the Swedish Corporate Reporting Board, the Annual Accounts Act for Credit Institutions and Securities Companies and the directives of the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (SFSA).
The Parent Company report has been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act for Credit Institutions and Securities Companies, the directives of the SFSA and recommendation RFR 2 of the Swedish Corporate Reporting Board.
The accounting policies applied in the interim report conform to those applied in the Annual and Sustainability Report for 2023, which was prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and interpretations thereof.
The financial statements are presented in Swedish kronor and all figures are rounded to millions of kronor (SEKm) unless otherwise indicated. No adjustments for rounding are made, therefore summation differences may occur.
In order to provide a better overview of the financial statements, items within these have been aggregated from the first quarter 2024.
Amended regulations that is applicable from 1 January 2024 did not have a significant impact on the Group's financial position, results, cash flows or disclosures.
The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has published IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements, which is not yet applied by Swedbank.
IFRS 18 was issued in April 2024. The standard will be effective from January 1, 2027, and has not yet been adopted by the European Union. The new standard replaces IAS 1 and introduces new requirements primarily for the presentation of financial statements and disclosures about certain performance measures.
Impact on the Group's financial statements is currently being assessed.
The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has published amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments, IFRS 9 and IFRS 7.
The amendments mainly provide guidance on how to assess the contractual cash flows of a financial asset that include contingent features and related disclosure requirements.
The amendments were issued in May 2024 and will be effective from January 1, 2026. They have not yet been adopted by the European Union.
Presentation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the executive management to make judgments and estimates that affect the recognised amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the reporting date as well as the recognised income and expenses during the reporting period. The executive management continuously evaluates these judgments and estimates, including assessing control over investment funds, the fair value of financial instruments, provisions for credit impairment, impairment testing of goodwill, provisions and contingent liabilities, defined
benefit pension provisions, insurance contracts and deferred taxes.
Post-model expert credit adjustments to the credit impairment provisions continue to be necessary, given the geopolitical and economic uncertainties. Further information is provided in Note 10.
Beyond this, there have been no significant changes to the basis upon which the critical accounting judgments and estimates have been determined compared with 31 December 2023.
No significant changes to the Group structure occurred during the first half year of 2024.

1) Comparative figures have been restated due to the reorganisation during the first quarter 2024.
2) Other income includes the items Net insurance, Share of profit or loss of associates and joint ventures and Other income from the Group income statement.

The operating segment report is based on Swedbank's accounting policies, organisation and management accounts. Market-based transfer prices are applied between operating segments, while all expenses for Group functions and Group staffs are transfer priced at cost to the operating segments. Cross-border transfer pricing is applied according to OECD transfer pricing guidelines.
The Group's equity attributable to shareholders is allocated to each operating segment based on capital adequacy rules and estimated capital requirements based on the bank's Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP).
The return on allocated equity for the operating segments is calculated based on profit for the period attributable to the shareholders for the operating segment, in relation to average monthly allocated equity for the operating segment. For periods shorter than one year the key ratio is annualised.
From the first quarter 2024, the operation within Premium and Private Banking is reported as a new business segment. The operation was previously reported within Swedish Banking. In connection with the change the corporate customers, which are handled by advisors, have been moved to Corporates and Institutions. The comparative figures have been restated. In addition to this, there have been a few minor transfers of support functions between the segments and Group Functions and Other.

During the second quarter 2024 a portfolio of loans to private persons was disposed. The loans were either classified in stage 3 or were previously written off. The disposal of the loans in stage 3 resulted in write offs amounting to SEK 505m together with reversals of credit impairment provisions amounting to SEK 496m. The disposal of loans previously written of resulted in recoveries amounting to SEK 145m.
The measurement of expected credit losses is described in Note G3.1 Credit risk on pages 86-91 of the 2023 Annual and Sustainability Report.
While inflation has started to come down, the high interest rates and overall costs levels, combined with geopolitical instability, continue to weigh on private persons and companies, resulting in a high level of uncertainty regarding impact on credit risk. As the quantitative risk models do not yet reflect all potential deteriorations in credit quality, post-model adjustments have been made to capture potential future rating and stage migrations.
Post-model expert credit adjustments to increase the credit impairment provisions continue to be deemed necessary and amounted to SEK 946m (SEK 996m at 31 March 2024, SEK 1 324m at 31 December 2023) and are allocated as SEK 505m in stage 1 and SEK 441m in stage 2 (SEK 525m in stage 1, SEK 471m in stage 2 at 31 March 2024). Customers and industries are reviewed and analysed considering the current situation, particularly in more vulnerable sectors. During the second quarter, the main changes were that post-model expert credit adjustments for the Retail sector and Property management sector were decreased whilst post-model expert credit adjustments for Agriculture, forestry, fishing sector and Manufacturing sector increased. The most significant post-model adjustments at 30 June 2024 were in the Property management, Manufacturing and Agriculture, forestry, fishing sectors.
The tables below show the quantitative thresholds used by the Group for assessing a significant increase in credit risk, namely:
Alternatively, for exposures originated with risk grades 18 to 21, an increase of 200-300 per cent from initial recognition is considered significant except for Swedish mortgages where an absolute 12-month PD threshold is also applied.
These limits reflect a lower sensitivity to change in the low-risk end of the risk scale and a higher sensitivity to change in the high-risk end of the scale. The Group has performed a sensitivity analysis on how credit impairment provisions would change if thresholds applied were increased or decreased. A lower threshold would increase the number of loans that have migrated from Stage 1 to Stage 2 and also increase the estimated credit impairment provisions. A higher threshold would have the opposite effect.
The tables below disclose the impacts of this sensitivity analysis on the credit impairment provisions. Positive amounts represent higher credit impairment provisions that would be recognised.

Global growth remains weak, but development is varied across regions and countries. After the summer, European economies will start to recover as inflation normalises and interest rates decline. US growth, on the other hand, is expected to slow slightly later this year and in 2025, as a result of less fiscal stimulus and lags from tight monetary policy.
Geopolitical risks remain elevated. The situation in the Middle East could lead to higher oil prices. Natural gas prices have stayed low, however, and at current levels, energy prices are not driving inflation. Some commodity prices and freight costs have started to rise, which could complicate the path to normal inflation and further delay central bank rate cuts.
In Sweden, GDP growth will gradually increase in the second half of this year as real wages, and hence household consumption, increase. Next year, growth will pick up further, and GDP will increase by close to 3%. The labour market will weaken further this year before employment increases again next year as growth picks up.
In 2024, GDP is expected to grow modestly in Latvia and Lithuania and fall further in Estonia. Growth is likely to pick up and be broad-based in 2025. Exports and manufacturing have been the weakest spot, and external demand is expected to pick up toward the end of the year.
The table below shows the credit impairment provisions that would result from the negative and positive scenarios, which are considered reasonably possible, being assigned a probability weight of 100 per cent. Post-model expert credit adjustments are assumed to be constant in the results.

Swedish bank tax refers to Risk tax on credit institutions that was introduced from 1 January 2022. It is applied on credit institutions with a tax base exceeding SEK 150bn.
Lithuanian bank tax refers to the Lithuanian temporary solidarity contribution on credit institutions that was introduced and is calculated from May 2023 until the end of 2024. The bank tax is 60 percent and is applied to a part of the net interest income earned during the period which exceeds the average net interest income of four historical years by more than 50 percent.
Latvian bank tax refers to the temporary fee that was introduced January 1, 2024 and applies for 2024 only. The bank tax will be charged with 0.5% per quarter calculated on the total portfolio of floating mortgage loans signed before October 31, 2023.

The determination of fair value, the valuation hierarchy and the valuation process for fair value measurements in Level 3 are described in the Annual and Sustainability Report 2023, note G47 Fair value of financial instruments.
The financial instruments are distributed in three levels depending on the degree of observable market data in the valuation and activity in the market.
The following tables present fair values of financial instruments recognised at fair value split between the three valuation hierarchy levels.

Financial instruments are transferred to or from level 3 depending on whether the internal assumptions have changed in significance to the valuation.
Level 3 mainly comprises strategic unlisted shares. These include holdings in VISA Inc. C shares that are subject to selling restrictions until June 2028 and under certain conditions may have to be returned. Liquid quotes are not available for these shares, therefore the
fair value is established with significant elements of Swedbank's own internal assumptions. The carrying amount of the holdings in Visa Inc. C amounted as per 30 June 2024 to SEK 579m (SEK 534m 31 December 2023).
In the Group's insurance operations, fund units are held in which the customers have chosen to invest their insurance savings. The holdings are reported in the balance sheet as financial assets
where the customers bear the investment risk and are normally measured at fair value according to level 1, 0m.
because the units are traded in an active market. The Group's obligations to insurance savers are reported as financial liabilities where the customers bear the investment risk because it is the customers who bear the entire market value change of the assets. The liabilities are normally measured at fair value according to level 2.
During the first quarter 2022, trading was closed in whole or in part in Russia and Eastern Europe targeted funds. Remaining unit holdings, only correlated to the Russia funds, and related liabilities to the insurance savers have been measured at fair value according to level 3 and been measured at value SEK

Swedbank is cooperating with authorities in the United States who are conducting investigations into Swedbank's historic AML compliance and the Group's response thereto, as well as related issues involving the Group's anti-money laundering controls and certain individuals and entities who may at some time have been customers of the Group. Investigations by the Department of Justice (DoJ), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Department of Financial Services (DFS) in New York are ongoing. In June 2023, Swedbank reached an agreement to remit SEK 37m related to violation of OFAC regulations.
The timing of the completion of the investigations is still unknown and the outcomes are still uncertain. It is therefore not possible to reliably estimate the amount of any potential settlement or fines, which could be material.
In February 2024, the Estonian Prosecutor's Office closed its investigation of suspected money laundering offences by Swedbank AS in 2014–2016. The criminal investigation originated from the Estonian FSA's previous investigation of Swedbank AS in 2019.
The tables below present recognised financial instruments that have been offset in the balance sheet under IAS 32 and those that are subject to legally enforceable master netting or similar agreements but do not qualify for offset. Such financial instruments relate to derivatives, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, securities settlements, securities borrowing and lending transactions. Collateral amounts represent financial instruments or cash collateral received or pledged for transactions that are subject to
a legally enforceable master netting or similar agreements and which allow for the netting of obligations against the counterparty in the event of a default. Collateral amounts are limited to the amount of the related instruments presented in the balance sheet; therefore any over-collateralisation is not included. Amounts that are not offset in the balance sheet are presented as a reduction to the financial assets or liabilities in order to derive net asset and net liability exposure.

This note provides information on the internal capital assessment according to chapter 8, section 5 of the SFSA's regulation on prudential requirements and capital buffers (2014:12). The internal capital assessment is published in the interim report according to chapter 8, section 4 of the SFSA's regulation and general advice on annual reports from credit institutions and investment firms (2008:25).
A bank must identify, measure and manage the risks with which its activities are associated and have sufficient capital to cover these risks. The purpose of the Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) is to ensure that the bank is sufficiently capitalised to cover its risks and to conduct and develop its business activities. Swedbank applies its own models and processes to evaluate its capital need for all relevant risks. The models that serve as a basis for the internal capital assessment evaluate the need for economic capital over a one-year horizon at a 99.9 per cent confidence level for each type of risk. Diversification effects between various types of risks are not taken into account in the calculation of economic capital.
As a complement to the economic capital calculation, scenario-based simulations and stress tests are conducted at least once a year. The analyses provide an overview of the most important risks Swedbank is exposed to by quantifying their impact on the income
statement and balance sheet as well as the own funds and risk-weighted assets. The purpose is to ensure efficient use of capital. This methodology serves as a basis of proactive risk and capital management.
As of 30 June 2024, the internal capital assessment for Swedbank's consolidated situation amounted to SEK 50.8bn (SEK 50.5bn as of 31 December 2023). The capital to meet the internal capital assessment, i.e. the Total capital, amounted to SEK 212.3bn (SEK 195.6bn as of 31 December 2023) (see Note 24). Swedbank's internal capital assessment using its own models is not comparable with the estimated capital requirement that the SFSA releases quarterly and does not consider the SFSA risk-weight floor for Swedish mortgages.
The internally estimated capital requirement for the parent company amounted to SEK 35.2bn (SEK 34.4bn as of 31 December 2023) and the total capital amounted to SEK 154.7bn (SEK 142.8bn as of 31 December 2023) (see the parent company's note on capital adequacy).
In addition to what is stated in this interim report, risk management and capital adequacy according to the Basel III framework are described in more detail in Swedbank's Annual and Sustainability Report 2023 as well as in Swedbank's yearly Risk Management and Capital Adequacy Report, available on www.swedbank.se.
Swedbank's earnings are affected by changes in the global marketplace over which it has no control, including macroeconomic factors such as GDP, asset prices and unemployment as well as changes in interest rates, equity prices and exchange rates.
The geopolitical situation is still uncertain due to the instability in the Middle east, the ongoing Russian war of aggression against Ukraine, and an increasingly protectionist trade policies that could affect the financial risks. Although these factors have had a significant impact on the economy, Swedbank has low to negligible direct exposures to counterparts in the warring countries and is assessed to have the ability to manage the indirect risks that may arise due to the heightened geopolitical uncertainty.
Economic growth in the Nordic and Baltic regions shows subtle signs of recovery, although being highly dependent on the global economy that is affected by several uncertainties. Future trade policies and various geopolitical tensions may negatively impact growth.
Global inflation is declining, but it remains significantly above the monetary policy target levels. Both lowering
interest rates too early and keeping them high for too long pose a risk to the economies of the Nordic and Baltic regions, which could ultimately cause an economic downturn and increased unemployment. This concern is exacerbated by relatively high levels of household debt and short-term interest rate binding periods in Sweden, making them particularly sensitive to further interest rate hikes.
Swedbank monitors operational risks and focuses on areas where the risks are considered highest. Swedbank works continuously to ensure high service availability for its customers and conducts regular cyber resilience tests. The threat landscape, as a consequence of the geopolitical situation, keeps information security and cybersecurity in focus.
Swedbank continuously invests in and improves technology, as well as implements controls in our digital channels to combat financial crime and protect our customers. Swedbank has even a close collaboration within the Swedish Bankers' Association with the goal of creating common guidelines for customer protection against fraud.
Anti-money laundering and Counter terrorist financing and other compliance risks
For risks related to the ongoing investigations of authorities in US related to historic anti-money laundering compliance and response related to antimoney laundering controls, please refer to Note 22 Assets pledged, contingent liabilities and commitments. The risk level related to Market Conduct risk (within Conduct risk) is elevated and risk-mitigating activities are ongoing.
The tax area is complex and there can be a scope for different interpretations. Practices and interpretations of applicable laws can be changed, sometimes retroactively. In the event that the tax authorities and, where appropriate, the tax courts decide on a different interpretation than what Swedbank initially made, it could impact the Group's operations, results and financial position.
In addition to what is stated in this interim report, detailed descriptions are provided in Swedbank's 2023 Annual and sustainability report and in the disclosures in the Risk Management and Capital Adequacy reports available at www.swedbank.com.

Swedbank prepares its financial statements in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU, as set out in Note 1. The interim report includes a number of alternative performance measures, which exclude certain items that management believes are not representative of the underlying/ongoing performance of the business. Therefore the alternative performance measures provide more comparative information between periods. Management believes that inclusion of these measures provides information to the readers that enable comparability between periods.
| Measure and definition | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Net investment margin before trading interest is deducted | |
| Calculated as Net interest income before trading-related interest is deducted, in relation to average total assets. The average is calculated using month-end figures1, including the prior year end. The nearest IFRS measure is Net interest income and can be reconciled in Note 5. |
Considers all interest income and interest expense, independent of how it has been presented in the income statement. |
| Allocated equity | |
| Allocated equity is the operating segment's equity measure and is not directly required by IFRS. The Group's equity attributable to shareholders is allocated to each operating segment based on capital adequacy rules and estimated capital requirements based on the bank's internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP). The allocated equity amounts per operating segment are reconciled to the Group Total equity, the nearest IFRS measure, in Note 4. |
Used by Group Management for internal governance and operating segment performance management purposes. |
| Return on allocated equity | |
| Calculated based on profit for the period (annualised) attributable to the shareholders for the operating segment, in relation to average allocated equity for the operating segment. The average is calculated using month-end figures1, including the prior year end. The allocated equity amounts per operating segment are reconciled to the Group Total equity, the nearest IFRS measure, in Note 4. |
Used by Group Management for internal governance and operating segment performance management purposes. |
| Income statement excluding expenses for the administrative fines | |
| Amount related to expenses is presented excluding expenses for administrative fines. The amounts are reconciled to the relevant IFRS income statement lines on page 6. |
Provides comparability of figures between reporting periods. |
| Return on equity excluding expenses for administrative fines | |
| Calculated based on profit for the period (annualised) attributable to the shareholders excluding expenses for the administrative fines, in relation to average equity attributable to shareholders' of the parent company. The average is calculated using month-end figures1, including the prior year end. Profit for the period attributable to shareholders excluding expenses for administrative fines are reconciled to Profit for the period allocated to shareholders, the nearest IFRS measure, on page 6. |
Provides comparability of figures between reporting periods. |
| Cost/Income ratio excluding expenses for administrative fines | |
| Total expenses excluding expenses related to administrative fines in relation to total income. Total expenses excluding expense for administrative fines is reconciled to Total expenses, the nearest IFRS measure, on page 6. |
Provides comparability of figures between reporting periods. |

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Swedbank AB (publ) as of 30 June 2024 and the six-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 and the 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 Annual Accounts Act for credit institutions and securities companies, regarding the Group, and with the Annual Accounts Act for credit institutions and securities companies, regarding the Parent Company.
