2 Stadshypotek s interim report January September Performance Stadshypotek s operating profit for the nine-month period was SEK 3,408m. The profit for the corresponding period in was SEK 4,212m. The change in the profit figure was chiefly attributable to lower net interest income, mainly due to decreasing lending margins. Stadshypotek s lending volumes on the private market showed a positive trend during the period, but this did not fully offset declining lending margins resulting from price competition on the market. In addition, lower interest rates than in the corresponding period last year had an adverse effect on net interest income, due to a reduced return on equity. Lower expenses and low loan losses The company s expenses dropped from the same period in, and were SEK 97m (103). Recoveries exceeded new loan losses and the net amount recovered was SEK 82m (75), which corresponds to a loan loss ratio of -0.02% (-0.03) of lending. As at tember, Stadshypotek s bad debts before deduction of the provision for probable loan losses amounted to SEK 430m (790). SEK 45m (57) of the bad debts were non-performing loans and SEK 385m (733) 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 328m (390) that are not classed as bad debts. After deduction of the provision for probable loan losses, the volume of bad debts was SEK 317m (594). Growth in lending Lending to the general public was SEK 469bn an increase of SEK 25bn during the period. The past quarter has seen a very favourable increase in Stadshypotek s share of net growth in the private market. Stadshypotek s overall share of mortgage institutions lending on the private market was 26.3%. Capital ratio As at tember, the capital ratio was 8.2 % (8.7). As at ember, the capital ratio was 8.8 %. The decrease is due to a higher risk-weighted volume. As at 30 September, the Tier 1 capital ratio was 6.9 % (7.3). Stadshypotek s rating Stadshypotek s rating was unchanged.
