3 Highlights of Stadshypotek s annual report January December Performance Stadshypotek s operating profit for was SEK 3,926m (4,851). The decrease was mainly due to the net interest income being SEK 477m lower than the previous year. For the past couple of years the competition for private customers mortgage loans has led to reduced margins, which has had a negative impact on the net interest income. However, for the past six months, the margins for newly-priced mortgage loans have remained stable. Stadshypotek s lending volume in the private market continued to perform well during the year. But the increase could not compensate for the lower lending margins. Net interest income was also negatively affected due to the remaining effects from previously repurchased bonds. Loan losses Recoveries exceeded new loan losses and the net amount recovered was SEK 70m (278), which corresponded to a loan loss ratio of % (-0.06) of lending. debts before of the provision for loan losses amounted to SEK 267m (393) at the end of. SEK 41m (44) of the bad debts were non-performing loans, while SEK 226m (349) 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 318m (229) that are not assessed as being bad debts. After of the provision for loan losses, the volume of bad debts was SEK 190m (284). Growth in lending Lending to the public was SEK 524bn, an increase of 44bn. Stadshypotek s share of net growth in the private market developed favourably and the market share went up to 25.6% (25.5). Stadshypotek retained its position as a leading player on the Swedish corporate market, with a market share of 34.2% (34.8). Capital ratio On 1 February, new capital adequacy regulations were implemented the Basel II rules. The new rules 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 rules allow for an adaptation over three years. As at 31 December, the capital ratio was 9.3% (8.3). As at 31 December, the Tier 1 capital ratio was 6.6% (7.1). Further information concerning capital adequacy is provided in the section entitled capital base and capital requirement.

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 from treasury function, the corresponding control at Stadshypotek implies that the board of the company establish limits which restrict these risks. There is also risk control at stadshypotek s Accounting and Control Department which is independent from the tresury function. It is responsible for regular follow-up 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 regular 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 non-performing loans and bad debts can be found in note 2 of this report. As at 31 December, Stadshypotek s interest rate risk in the case of a parallel increase in the yield curve of one percentage point was SEK -226m (-184). 8 HIGHLIGHTS OF STADSHYPOTEK S ANNUAL REPORT JANUARY-DECEMBER

Households represent about 87% of the reduction and companies about 13%. Due to a large proportion of credits to households with property as collateral, the capital requirement is smaller. Capital requirements are also lower for corporate loans and the average risk weight was almost 29% of the exposure, EAD. The capital requirement is smaller because the company has a selective customer base and high-quality borrowers. HIGHLIGHTS OF STADSHYPOTEK S ANNUAL REPORT JANUARY-DECEMBER 9
