3 Highlights of Stadshypotek s annual report: January December Performance Stadshypotek s operating profits for the year were SEK 3,682m (3,926), a decrease of SEK 244m, or 6.2%, compared to the previous year. As of August, Stadshypotek s branch in Norway has been included, which had a SEK 108m positive effect on operating profit for the period. Thus, excluding the branch in Norway, operating profits were down by SEK 352m on the previous year. The decrease was chiefly attributable to a negative net result on financial operations of SEK -71m, compared with a positive figure of SEK 360m the previous year. This stemmed mainly from unrealised changes in market value of financial assets and liabilities subject to hedge accounting and derivatives. Unrealised changes in market value were negatively affected, due to falling market interest rates in the second half of the year. On the other hand, during the first half of the year, unrealised changes in the market value were positively affected, due to rising market rates. Net interest income totalled SEK 3,900m. This was an increase of SEK 197m over the previous year, of which SEK 123m was attributable to the branch in Norway. Thus, excluding the branch in Norway, net interest income grew by SEK 74m, chiefly due to higher volumes, as well as favourable funding costs in the prevailing market situation. For a number of years, the competition for private customers mortgage loans has led to sharply reduced margins, which has had a negative impact on net interest income. In, margins on Stadshypotek s lending volume to the private market were down somewhat on the previous year. Loan losses Recoveries exceeded new loan losses and the amount recovered was SEK 75m (70), which corresponds to a loan loss ratio of -0.01% (-0.01) of lending. Bad debts before deduction of the provision for probable loan losses amounted to SEK 193m (267) at the end of. SEK 56m (41) of the bad debts were non-performing loans, while SEK 137m (226) were loans on which the borrowers pay interest and amortisation, but which are considered doubtful in view of the uncertainty as to the borrowers' repayment capacity and the value of the collateral. In addition, there were non-performing loans of SEK 605m (318) that are not assessed as being bad debts. After deductions for specific provisions SEK -73m (-77) and provisions by group for individually assessed loan receivables SEK -12m (-) for probable loan losses, bad debts totalled SEK 108m (190). Growth in lending Stadshypotek s lending volume continued to increase during the period. Lending to the public totalled SEK 615bn. This was an increase of SEK 91bn, of which SEK 44bn was attributable to the branch in Norway which was added during the third quarter. Stadshypotek s share of the private market in Sweden was maintained at around 25%. Stadshypotek retained its strong position as a leading player on the Swedish corporate market, with a market share of some 30%. Capital adequacy On 1 February, new capital adequacy regulations were implemented the Basel II regulations. The new regulations entail major changes in how the capital requirement is to be calculated and how a satisfactory capital base is to be ensured. They will be implemented gradually, since the transitional regulations allow for an adaptation over three years. As at 31 December, the capital ratio in accordance with Basel II was 37.1% (40.3). As at ember, the Tier 1 capital ratio in accordance with Basel II was 25.9% (28.5). Further information concerning capital adequacy is provided in the Capital base and Capital requirement section.

Stadshypotek s risks are credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk, operational risk and business risk. Credit risk is the risk that an individual borrower cannot fulfil his or her commitments. Market risk is the risk of price changes in the financial markets. The market risks affecting Stadshypotek are interest rate risk and currency risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that Stadshypotek will not be able to meet its payment obligations when they fall due. Operational risk is the risk of human errors and errors in procedures and systems and business risk is the risk of unexpected changes in financial performance. The credit risk is considered to be the most significant risk for Stadshypotek. The Stadshypotek board establishes policy documents and instructions describing how various risks should be managed and reported. Stadshypotek s risk management aims to ensure that the strict approach to risk that the board has established is guaranteed. Stadshypotek s lending operations and treasury function are integrated with those of Handelsbanken, which means that Stadshypotek s lending is carried out via the Bank s branch network. A collaboration agreement regulates the overall relationship between the parties and relates to the services which the branches are to perform on behalf of Stadshypotek. Thus the business operations at Stadshypotek are conducted according to the same fundamental principles which apply at Handelsbanken. The Bank s culture is based on the responsibility of each employee who makes business decisions. The person who best knows the customer and the market conditions is also in the best position to assess the risk. The branch responsible for the customer carries the entire risk and in the Bank s decentralised organisation the positive and negative outcomes of each branch are evaluated, which provides a natural risk limitation and caution in business operations. The responsibility of those who make business decisions is supplemented by checking that excessive risks are not taken in individual transactions or local operations. In lending this means that limits are set for large loans and these loans are assessed in a special credit organisation. Decisions on limits are made at branch, regional or central level, depending on the size of the credit limit. For market risks and liquidity risks, the corresponding control at Stadshypotek implies that the board of the company establish limits which restrict these risks. There is also independent risk control at Stadshypotek s Control and Accounting Department which is responsible for regular followup and monitoring of the market risks, liquidity risks and counterparty risks. The risk control function carries out daily measurements and checks to ensure that risk exposure remains within the limits set. Limit utilisation is reported internally within the company, and to the parent company s central risk control function. In addition, limit utilisation is reported regularly to the chief executive and board of the company. Stadshypotek is also covered by the central risk control at Handelsbanken, which is designed to identify the Group s risks, gauge them, and ensure that management of these risks complies with the Group s low risk tolerance. Moreover Stadshypotek has a procedure for daily capital planning to ensure that Stadshypotek has a sufficient amount of capital to secure the company s survival if a serious loss were to occur, despite the measures taken to manage the risks. The method for calculating economic capital ensures that all risks are considered in a uniform manner when the need for capital is assessed. Information about credit risks regarding loan losses and nonperforming loans and bad debts can be found in note 2 of this report. As at ember, Stadshypotek s interest rate risk in the case of a parallel increase in the yield curve of one percentage point was SEK -183m (-226). Capital-related matters At the start of the transition to Basel II, Stadshypotek entered into a guarantee facility relating to mortgages for housing co-operative properties, to speed up the transition. In June, Stadshypotek utilised the guarantee, which had a 0.50 percentage point effect on the Tier 1 ratio as at ember. The transaction affects only capital adequacy in accordance with the transitional rules. Highlights of the annual report january december 9
