  • Lending and deposit volumes increased across Sweden and the Baltics, supporting business growth.

  • Announced acquisition of digital mortgage company Stabelo to enhance digital offerings and reach younger customers.

Financial highlights

  • Net interest income decreased 5% quarter-over-quarter due to lower rates and central bank placements; net commission income fell 4% due to asset management performance.

  • Credit impairments reported at SEK 150m, corresponding to an impairment ratio of 0.03%.

  • Customer deposits increased by SEK 27bn, driven by retail deposits in Sweden and seasonal tax return inflows.

  • Net gains and losses rose 58% quarter-over-quarter to SEK 856m, driven by high activity in fixed income and FX trading.

  • Dividend payout ratio maintained at 60–70% annually, with a normalized capital buffer of 200 basis points.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
