Stadshypotek's Interim Report January - September 2012


FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

January - September 2012 compared with January - September 2011
Operating profit increased by SEK 1,462 million to SEK 5,815 million (4,353).
Net interest income amounted to SEK 5,891 million (4,530), with the branch in
Norway accounting for SEK 441 million (305), the branch in Denmark for SEK 82
million (64) and the branch in Finland, which was established on 1 May 2011, for
SEK 176 million (33). Excluding these branches, net interest income thus
increased by SEK 1,064 million. The increase in net interest income is due to an
increase in lending volume and to improved margins due to the company's good
position in the funding market. Net gains/losses on financial items at fair
value amounted to SEK 128 million (-4).

Expenses rose by SEK 9 million to SEK 193 million (184), primarily due to
increased IT expenses related to the branch in Finland. Net loan losses totalled
SEK 6 million. During the period January - September 2011, recoveries exceeded
new loan losses and the net amount recovered was SEK 21 million. Before
deduction of the provision for probable loan losses, the volume of impaired
loans was SEK 118 million (93). SEK 82 million (55) of the impaired loans were
non-performing loans, while SEK 36 million (38) were loans on which the
borrowers pay interest and amortisation, but which are nevertheless regarded as
impaired. There were also non-performing loans of SEK 1,142 million (850) that
are not classed as being impaired loans. After deduction for specific provisions
totalling SEK -44 million (-38) and collective provisions of SEK -5 million (-
6) for probable loan losses, impaired loans totalled SEK 69 million (49).

Q3 2012 compared with Q2 2012
Stadshypotek's operating profit increased by SEK 7 million to SEK 1,939 million
(1,932). However, net interest income decreased by SEK 25 million to SEK 1,954
million (1,979). SEK 161 million (164) of the net interest income was
attributable to the branch in Norway, SEK 31 million (28) to the branch in
Denmark and SEK 69 million (59) to the branch in Finland. Excluding these
branches, net interest income went down by SEK 35 million. Net gains/losses on
financial items at fair value amounted to SEK 53 million (19). Expenses fell by
SEK 5 million to SEK 61 million (66).


GROWTH IN LENDING
Loans to the public increased by around 4 per cent, or SEK 31 billion, compared
to the end of the third quarter of the previous year, and stood at SEK 869
billion (838). On 1 September, Stadshypotek's branch in Finland acquired a loan
portfolio of around EUR 0.5 billion from the parent company's branch in Finland,
which corresponds to approximately SEK 4 billion of the increase in lending
during the period.

1 ratio calculated according to Basel II was 46.0 per cent (37.7). Further
