4 Statement from the CEO STATEMENT FROM THE CEO Our transparent offering to retail customers is winning ground in the residential mortgage market. Our strong growth continued through Q3 for both lending and deposits. To date, we have captured a fantastic percentage, 17%, of net growth in the residential mortgage market, which means that, as of August 2017, our market share grew to 7.68% during the year. On the corporate side in 2017, we have focused on promoting the construction of more housing and have thereby increased our new construction financing. Our deposits posted healthy growth for Retail and Corporates, and our deposit ratio increased to 33.0% during the year. We are growing with good profitability, which enables a continued high pace of investment in operations with a focus on sustainability, new IT systems, digitalisation, customer offering and maintaining SBAB as an attractive workplace. We are strengthening our long-term competitiveness. No one-to-one negotiations are needed with us, instead all retail customers with the same prerequisites receive the same mortgage terms directly. We focus on housing and household finances, which means that we have customers who appreciate not having to keep all their custom with one bank and instead use different banks for the services they require. During the quarter, we launched the first version of the My home (Mitt boende) service to residential mortgage customers. The My home service provides our residential mortgage customers with transparently presented, collated housing information from internal and external sources. We envisage My home as a digital home where people will, in time, gather all public and private information pertaining to their home. We have realised our pay-off and our brand promise From dream to home in the form of From Booli to SBAB. With the Group s combined property services, we help our customers through the entire home buying process, from looking for a home to moving, selling and once again seeking a new home. Responsible credit granting Our growth must always be subordinate to responsible lending, quality and good risk management. Our growth must always be sustainable. We continuously review our credit granting processes for both retail and corporate customers. On the retail side, we have assigned particular importance during the year to customers total debt and properties loan-to-value (LTV) ratios. We have introduced a mandatory debt-to-income ratio of 5.5 times the customer s total debt, in other words including not just for the mortgage but also any other unsecured loans and mortgages on other properties such as holiday homes. We have adapted our terms and conditions to suit lower LTV ratios and thus attract fewer customers with higher LTV ratios and more customers with lower LTV ratios. On the corporate side, due to the increasing uncertainty in the property market, we have given particular priority to increased caution in terms of lending to smaller and less experienced property developers regarding new builds. Moreover, we have generally adopted a more cautious approach to the declining investment yields in the corporate market, which means we are raising our repayment requirements and otherwise acting with a degree of restraint. Disturbing regulatory developments At the time of writing, the Swedish FSA (Finansinspektionen) is working on a new mandatory repayment requirement for consumers linked to a debt-to-income ratio for the individual mortgage of 4.5 times gross income. Our own debt ratio ceiling of 5.5 times gross income is different from the Swedish FSA s, since we consider customers entire debt situation, not just the mortgage as proposed by the Swedish FSA. However, the Swedish FSA aims to increase loan repayments by 1% for debt ratios exceeding a multiple of 4.5, which will increase the maximum mandatory loan repayment from 2% to 3% on a mortgage. A 3% repayment rate is beyond the reach of many customers, particularly young people and residents of Greater Stockholm, where housing prices are significantly higher than in the rest of the country. We are extremely negative to the Swedish FSA s proposal. We are starting to note clear effects in the housing market from the Swedish FSA s latest mandatory repayment requirement as well as following the debt ratio ceilings introduced by ourselves and other banks. The new rules proposed by the Swedish FSA are extremely complex and will, thus create further lock-in effects for customers in the housing market resulting in worsened mobility and competition. The Swedish FSA needs to give customers more time to adapt to the recently introduced rules. Additional mandatory requirements for residential mortgage customers risk triggering a significantly worsening trend in the housing and property market. A trend where the customer will be hit hardest of all. Rating and sustainable financing SBAB s strong positive operational trend over the last few years resulted in Moody s upgrading our rating from A2 till A1 at the end of August. Accordingly, our long-term rating is A1 with a stable outlook. This is the first time since 2005 that SBAB has had its rating upgraded by one of the credit rating agencies. It is extremely pleasing. Moody s underlying reasons for the upgrade include the fact that we have strengthened our profitability and improved our funding mix with an increased proportion of deposits over an extended period. Sustainable financing through green bonds is an extremely exciting area. SBAB s green bonds function just as standard bonds, but are subject to the condition that the funds raised will be used exclusively to finance or refinance residential properties that, under a specific framework, meet a number of energy-efficiency criteria or hold environmental certification. These will help change the world by financing a climate-smart and necessary transformation of both the economy and wider society. In mid- 2016, we became the first bank in Sweden to issue a green bond and we issued our second green bond after the end of the quarter, at the start of October Responsible and fun market communication SBAB s brand stands for responsibility, safety and trust. We strive to further strengthen this position as well as to fill our brand with more attitude, feeling and energy. Household finances need to engage and bank transactions need to motivate. How else will competition in the banking market improve and more customers change bank? Dull and boring fails to engage us. In 2017, our communication has focused around Making household finances fun, which will culminate in a show with the same name at Globen in Stockholm on 15 November. It will be a star-studded comedy show starring Erik Haag, Mia Skäringer, Johan Rheborg, Nour El Refai and Björn Gustafsson. Follow the journey as the show evolves by watching our entertaining films on Welcome to Globen on 15 November. Klas Danielsson CEO SBAB 4 SBAB Interim report Jan Sep 2017

6 Business results Trend for Q compared with Q Market comments The housing finance market continued to grow through the third quarter of the year. The residential mortgage market increased in terms of lending to finance tenant-owner apartments and houses. Lending to tenant-owners associations and companies also rose. Across the country as a whole, prices for tenant-owner apartments stood still, while house prices rose moderately during the quarter. Signals of reduced demand for new housing production marked the latter part of the quarter. The reduction in demand is linked to the large number of tenant-owner apartments that concurrently came available in the housing market. Moreover, the target group s purchasing power is assumed to have declined as a result of larger cash deposits, current loan repayment rules and the Finansinspektionen s (the Swedish FSA) proposals for more stringent repayment requirements. All of the above has been partially offset by the strong economy wich has helped reduce the unemployment rate which, combined with low interest rates, drove up demand. Group In Q3, total lending increased SEK 8.9 billion (10.5) to SEK billion (315.6). New lending remained healthy and totalled SEK 19.4 billion (20.8). Total deposits increased SEK 4.4 billion (2.7) to SEK billion (102.7) during the quarter. Retail business area The Retail business area offers savings and loan products, and home and housing services to consumers. The core product residential mortgages is supplemented by consumer loans and insurance broking. During the quarter, new retail lending increased to SEK 17.0 billion (16.7) driven by the continued strength of the customer offering with competitive rates and high levels of brand awareness. Total lending increased to SEK billion (229.3) in the quarter, of which SEK billion (227.3) comprised residential mortgages and SEK 2.0 billion (2.0) consumer loans. The number of residential mortgage customers increased to 248,000 (243,000), distributed over 158,000 mortgage objects (155,000). The market share of residential mortgages was 7.68% at 31 August 2017 (7.52 at 31 May 2017). At the same date, the market share for consumer loans was 0.89% (0.90). A substantial majority of SBAB s residential mortgage customers continue to choose the shortest maturities. The share of total lending with a three-month fixed-interest period amounted to 68.7% (68.3) at the end of the quarter. SBAB and other Swedish banks report their average mortgage rates for new loans and loans with amended terms and conditions, in line with the Swedish FSA s regulations. SBAB offers transparent terms and conditions, which is showcased by the difference between SBAB s average and list rates, which in September 2017, was 0.15 percentage points (0.15 in June 2017) on a three-month fixed-rate mortgage. SBAB s savings accounts offer a competitive interest rate, and deposit inflows continued to grow during the quarter. Retail deposits rose SEK 3.3 billion (2.3) in the quarter and totalled SEK 71.6 billion (68.3). At 31 August 2017, the market share of retail deposits was 4.15% (4.06 at 31 May 2017).

7 Business results & Financial performance Corporate Clients & Tenant-Owners Associations business area The Corporate Clients & Tenant-Owners Associations business area offers savings and loan products primarily to property companies and tenant-owners associations. New lending to corporate clients and tenant-owners associations totalled SEK 2.4 billion (4.1) for Q3, supported by the high rate of new construction and the accompanying high demand from property and construction companies. However, total lending decreased to SEK 85.5 billion (86.3) as a result of an increasing number of property companies using the bond markets to refinance with the aim of reducing currency risk and diversifying their borrowing. Of total lending, SEK 34.2 billion (35.3) comprised lending to corporate clients and SEK 51.3 billion (51.0) lending to tenant-owners associations. The market share of lending to corporate clients was 11.93% at 31 August 2017 (11.69 at 31 May 2017), and the market share for lending to tenant-owners associations was 10.60% (10.75). The number of loan customers declined to 2,411 (2,464) over the quarter. The decline in customer numbers over the last quarters was primarily attributable to a decline in the number of small tenant-owners association customers, in line with SBAB s strategy of focused and qualitative credit granting. Deposits from corporate clients and tenant-owners associations rose SEK 1.1 billion (0.3) in the quarter and totalled SEK 35.4 billion (34.3). At 31 August 2017, the market share of deposits from corporate clients and tenant-owners associations (excluding financial institutions) was 3.70% (3.73 at 31 May 2017).

8 Financial performance Trend for Q compared with Q Net interest and commissions Net interest income grew to SEK 792 million (777), attributable to a decline in the volume of liquid reserves in the quarter. The item was also positively impacted by increased lending volumes and negatively affected by lower lending margins due to the lowering of interest rates in Q2. The resolution fee, recognised in net interest income, totalled SEK 61.6 million (65.7) for the quarter. The resolution fee for SBAB corresponds to SEK 247 million for the full-year 2017, compared with SEK 102 million for Net commission income dropped during the quarter to an expense of SEK 2 million (0) driven, inter alia, by lower income from insurance broking. Net result of financial items measured at fair value The net result of financial items measured at fair value was an expense of SEK 35 million (expense: 2). The remeasurement of credit risk in derivatives was the factor with the largest earnings impact in the quarter. Expenses Expenses decreased to SEK 224 million (244). The variance between the quarters was primarily attributable lower marketing and development costs. with a loan-to-value (LTV) ratio of more than 70%, and thereafter, 1% per year down to an LTV ratio of 50%. At the end of Q3, the average LTV ratio in SBAB s mortgage portfolio was 60% (60). At the same date, the average residential mortgage to retail customers amounted to SEK 1.5 million (1.5). SBAB s loan losses remained low and totalled SEK 1 million (1) for the quarter, corresponding to a loan loss ratio of 0.00% (0.00). For more information on loan losses; please refer to Note 3. Operating profit Operating profit amounted to SEK 537 million (539). The variance between the quarters was minor and was mainly attributable to a lower net result of financial items measured at fair value. Higher net interest income and lower expenses positively impacted the earnings trend. Other comprehensive income: Other comprehensive income amounted to SEK 40 million (expense: 206). The variance between the quarters was mainly attributable to fluctuations in long term EUR interest rates. A small decrease in market rates in Q3 positively impacted this item. Credit quality and loan losses In mid-2016, SBAB introduced new loan repayment rules in line with regulations issued by the Swedish FSA. The rules include a repayment rate of 2% per year for new residential mortgages Operating profit and return on equity Income, expenses and C/I ratio SEK mn % Q3 Q4 Q Q2 Operating profit, SEK million Return on equity, % Q SEK mn % Q Q4 Q1 Q Operating income, SEK million Operating expenses, SEK million C/I ratio, % Q SBAB Interim report Jan Sep 2017

9 Financial performance Trend for January September 2017 compared with January September 2016 During the period, operating profit rose to SEK 1,625 million (1,463). The increase was primarily attributable to higher net interest income. Net interest income rose to SEK 2,348 million (2,067) as a result of increased lending volumes and lower funding costs. The net commission expense for the period was SEK 7 million (income: 9) due to higher commission expenses driven by increased issues of securities. The net result of financial items measured at fair value decreased to an expense of SEK 42 million (income: 40). The decrease was mainly due to differences in value changes in hedging instruments and hedged items, attributable to changed terms and conditions, and accrual effects from terminated hedging relationships. During the period, expenses increased to SEK 700 million (650), driven by increased personnel, IT and development costs. Loan losses remained low and amounted to a recovery of SEK 4 million (20) for the period. Other comprehensive income decreased to an expense of SEK 417 million (income: 769). The variance between the quarters was mainly attributable to fluctuations in long term EUR interest rates. A decline in market interest rates in 2016 positively impacted the comparative figures. In 2017, market interest rates started to climb, which had a significant negative impact on earnings for the current period.

10 Financial performance Trend for Q compared with Q Balance sheet comments During the quarter, chargeable treasury bills, etc. increased to SEK 25.9 billion (24.5), and bonds and other interest-bearing securities decreased to SEK 49.5 billion (51.7). The change was within the scope of the normal management of the liquidity portfolio to maintain the desired duration and credit risk profile. Lending to credit institutions decreased to SEK 8.9 billion (10.5) as part of normal liquidity management. For information regarding lending to the public; please refer to page 5. During the quarter, liabilities to credit institutions decreased to SEK 10.8 billion (15.2). The decrease was due to smaller volumes of short-term repos compared with the preceding quarter. The change was within the scope of the normal short-term liquidity management. At the end of the quarter, subordinated debt remained unchanged and amounted to SEK 5.9 billion (5.9). Equity increased during the quarter to SEK 15.4 billion (15.0) due to changes in other comprehensive income, dividends on additional Tier 1 instruments and net profit for the year. For information about deposits from the public and issued debt securities; please refer to page 5 and the Funding section below. Funding Strong lending growth resulted in somewhat higher issues of securities in Q3, despite lower debt maturities. Total bond issues in the quarter amounted to around SEK 16 billion (12) and included an EUR 500 million five-year uncovered bond in the European market. During the quarter, securities were issued for a total of SEK 19.4 billion (15.5) and, in parallel, securities were repurchased for SEK 2.1 billion (1.9) and securities amounting to SEK 10.5 billion (12.9) matured. Alongside changes in premiums/discounts and changes in SEK exchange rates, this resulted in an increase in issued debt securities outstanding of SEK 6.3 billion to a total of SEK billion (265.4). At the end of Q3, commercial paper borrowing amounted to SEK 4.9 billion (7.9) and senior unsecured funding amounted to SEK 63.7 billion (61.4). Funding through the issue of covered bonds is carried out by the wholly-owned subsidiary, SCBC. Issued securities outstanding totalled SEK billion (196.1), of which SEK billion was in SEK and SEK 53.9 billion was in foreign currencies. Liquidity position SBAB s liquidity reserve comprises liquid, interest-bearing securities with high ratings. Securities holdings are limited by asset class and by country, respectively, and must have a AAA rating on acquisition. At the end of the quarter, the market value of the assets in the liquidity reserve amounted to SEK 75.3 billion (73.8). Taking the Riksbank s and the ECB s haircuts into account, the liquidity value of the assets was SEK 72.2 billion (70.8). SBAB measures and stress tests liquidity risk by calculating the survival horizon, which is an internal metric used to identify how long SBAB will be able to meet its payment obligations without access to capital market funding and net outflows from lending/ deposits. The survival horizon totalled 375 (408) days, which the company deems satisfactory. On 30 September 2017, the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) under Finansinspektionen s regulation regarding requirements for a liquidity coverage ratio and reporting of liquid assets and cash flows was 265% (240) for all currencies combined, thereby exceeding the minimum requirement of 100%. Measured in SEK, the LCR was 186% (159). According to the European Commission s Delegated Regulation with regard to Liquidity Coverage Requirement for Credit Institutions, at 30 September 2017, the LCR was 271% (259) in all currencies combined, which exceeds the minimum requirement of 80%. When using the same method to measure in SEK, the LCR amounted to 212% (200). The net stable funding ratio (NSFR), which measures the difference in tenors between commitments and funding, amounted to 122% (120) as interpreted by SBAB. For more information; please refer to Note 9. Capital position SBAB primarily recognises credit risk under the internal ratings-based approach (IRB approach) and operational and market risk using the standardised approach. In 2016, the Board of Directors adopted new capital targets for SBAB. According to these new targets, under normal conditions, SBAB s CET1 capital ratio should be at least 1.5 percentage points higher than the CET1 capital requirement communicated by the Swedish FSA. In addition, under normal conditions, SBAB s total capital ratio should be at least 1.5 percentage points higher than the capital requirement communicated by the Swedish FSA. The bank is also tasked with meeting any other regulatory capital requirements. SBAB s lending rose SEK 8.9 billion in Q3 and totalled SEK billion. The capital requirement was mainly impacted by the increase in lending. SBAB s capital targets are expected to correspond to a CET1 capital ratio of not less than 27.0% (26.7) and a total capital ratio of not less than 37.3% (36.9) at 30 September At the end of Q3, the CET1 capital ratio amounted to 31.4% (31.4) and the total capital ratio was 49.3% (49.5), which provided a comfortable margin to both internal and external requirements. In a decision by the Swedish FSA, subject to the company s auditors being able to confirm the surplus and that deductions for any dividends and foreseeable costs have been carried out pursuant to the Capital Requirements Regulation and that these calculations have been conducted in compliance with the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 241/2014, SBAB received approval for using the full-year surplus in own-funds calculations. Deloitte AB conducted the above review for 30 September This means that net profit for the period has been included in own funds and that expected dividends have reduced own funds. The leverage ratio amounted to SEK 3.77% (3.79) at 30 September For more information; please refer to notes SBAB Interim report Jan Sep 2017

11 Other information OTHER INFORMATION Risks and uncertainties The economic trend in Sweden is the primary risk factor for SBAB s future earnings capacity, and the quality of our assets is mainly exposed to credit risks in the Swedish housing market. The management of interest-rate and currency risks entails some exposure to price risks. Household demand has posted a stable trend, underpinned by low inflation, low interest rates and rising stock market and property prices. A housing market with soaring prices and rising household debt means the Swedish economy is sensitive to changes in interest rates and house prices. The risks associated with these factors are expected to increase as long as house prices and debt continue to outpace increases in income. Extensive regulation in the residential mortgage market is another uncertainty factor. The Swedish economy is susceptible to global economic developments and to conditions in the international financial markets. More information about the Group s risk structure for risk and capital management is available in SBAB s Integrated Annual Report 2016 (pages and Note 2 respectively) as well as in the report Capital Adequacy and Risk Management Change of control clause in the EMTN programme In conjunction with the annual update of the EMTN programme planned for 1 November 2017, SBAB intends to amend the terms and conditions for the purpose of introducing the possibility of issuing new senior unsecured debt free from the change of control clause*. The aim is to issue new bonds that are not subject to the change of control clause, which means that the amendment will only affect the terms and conditions governing the issue of new bonds. Improved rating from Moody s On 21 August 2017, Moody s Investors Service (Moody s) upgraded SBAB s long-term rating from A2 (positive outlook) to A1 (stable outlook), stating reasons including SBAB s improved profitability and funding mix. Additional information is available on Board changes During the quarter, Jakob Grinbaum stepped down from his position as Board member and Deputy Chairman of the Board of SBAB and from his position as Board member of SCBC. Accordingly, he has been removed from all his assignments for the Group. Events after the end of the period Green bond On the 4th October 2017, SBAB issued a new Green Bond. The bond is in unsecured format, amounts to SEK 1.75 billion and has a maturity of five years. The issue was met with substantial demand and was quickly oversubscribed. Additional information about the transaction is available on Auditors review report This report has not been subject to review by the Group s auditors. *The clause in question, known as the change of control clause, is a clause that confers a right on the holders of any such unsecured debt to demand repayment should the Swedish state s ownership of SBAB change to the effect that the state s entitlement to exercise voting rights in the company s affairs should decrease to a level below 51%.

16 Notes NOTE 1 Accounting policies The SBAB Group applies the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU. In addition to these accounting standards, the Swedish FSA s regulations and general guidelines on annual accounts for credit institutions and securities companies (FFFS 2008:25), the Swedish Annual Accounts Act for Credit Institutions and Securities Companies and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board s recommendation RFR 1 Supplementary Accounting Rules for Groups have been taken into consideration. The Group s interim report fulfils the requirements stipulated under IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. Statutory IFRS is applied for the Parent Company, which means that this interim report has been prepared in compliance with IFRS subject to the additions and exceptions that ensue from the Swedish Financial Reporting Board s recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities, the Swedish FSA s regulations and general guidelines on annual accounts for credit institutions and securities companies (FFFS 2008:25) and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act for Credit Institutions and Securities Companies. The accounting policies and calculation methods are unchanged in comparison with the 2016 Annual Report. These consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. On 25 October 2017, the Board of Directors approved the consolidated condensed financial statements for publication. According to SBAB s preliminary assessment, new or changed international accounting standards that have been published but not yet applied will have a limited effect on the financial reports. In 2014, the IASB published IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. IFRS 9 Financial Instruments will replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement with regard to classification and measurement, and impairment and hedge accounting. A separate project under the IASB is ongoing with regard to macro hedge accounting. The standard becomes effective as of 1 January Under IFRS 9, classification is based on both the entity s business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics. This classification, in turn, determines the measurement. The impairment model under IFRS 9 is based on expected credit losses as opposed to the current model, which is instead based on the incurred credit loss events. The aim of the new model is to capture and recognise expected credit losses at an earlier stage. The new hedge accounting rules primarily aim to better adapt accounting to risk management. The new standard also allows more detailed disclosures in terms of credit losses and hedge accounting. SBAB has conducted a comprehensive study of how the new rules will impact SBAB and continued analysis is ongoing. The new rules will have most impact on SBAB s reporting in terms of the recognition of expected credit losses. The development of models and processes is ongoing and is characterised by a large number of choices and judgements, and since no final decision has been taken on these issues, it is not possible to state a figure with sufficient precision to represent the impact of the new rules. In terms of classification and measurement, it is likely that these will have a certain impact on the recognition and measurement of securities in the liquidity portfolio. The existing securities holdings have been analysed in terms of the business model, and in terms of how the cash flows from the assets only comprise payments of capital and interest. A final analysis can only be conducted when the holdings at the transition date are known, but the preliminary assessment is that the new rules will not have any material effect on the income statement and balance sheet. In terms of any future possible impact of the new hedge accounting rules, a preliminary assessment has been made that the new rules will not have any material effect on the income statement and balance sheet. Preliminarily, SBAB intends to continue to apply the rules for hedge accounting in IAS 39, even after 1 January NOTE 2 Net result of financial items measured at fair value/net result of financial transactions Group, SEK million Q3 Q2 Q3 Jan Sep Jan Sep Jan Dec Gains/losses on interest-bearing financial instruments Securities measured at FVTPL Change in value of hedged items in hedge accounting Realised gain/loss from financial liabilities Derivatives Loan receivables Currency translation effects Total SBAB Interim report Jan Sep 2017
