Year-end reprt 1 January 31 December 2011 Financial data fr the Grup: Operating incme amunted t SEK 1,723m (2,261 1 ). The decline was mainly due t discntinued peratins, lwer activity in the market fr crprate transactins and cmmissin trading. Operating expenses ttalled SEK 1,754m (2,185 1 ). The decrease was attributable t the nging restructuring prgramme and that n variable remuneratin was expensed fr 2011. Items affecting cmparability had a negative impact f SEK 237m (ps: 395 1 ) n earnings. An perating lss f SEK 31m (prfit: 76 1 ) was reprted befre items affecting cmparability. Including items affecting cmparability, the cmpany psted a lss f SEK 268m (prfit: 472 1 ) befre credit lsses. The net lss fr the year was SEK 254m (prfit: 577 1 ). The Grup has a strng financial psitin, with equity ttalling SEK 2.2bn, a capital rati f 18.2% and a Tier 1 rati f 12.5% at year-end. Cmpany events during the year Successful integratin f the HQ Bank and HQ Fnder acquisitins. Restructuring wrk initiated t reduce the cst base thrugh centralisatin and integratin f supprt activities, mre efficient system slutins and reduced staffing. Multiple signs f high custmer appreciatin: Eurmney named Carnegie best Nrdic investment bank, Prspera gave first-place rankings t the peratins in Nrway and Denmark and Funds and Private Banking received a number f awards and imprved ratings frm amng thers Eurmney and Mrningstar. President s cmments Psitive signs in early 2012 The past year has been characterised by majr ecnmic turmil in the Eurzne and the resulting turbulence in financial markets. The situatin affected activity amng institutinal investrs and reduced the number f transactins in the M&A and ECM markets. As a cnsequence, Carnegie s earnings fr 2011 were unsatisfactry. Althugh we delivered psitive cntributins n an peratinal level, we still reprted an perating lss if financial expenses and depreciatin/amrtisatin n Grup level are included. The Grup was als charged with cnsiderable expenses in the frm f items affecting cmparability, primarily related t the n-ging restructuring prgramme. At the business area level, Private Banking displayed a stable trend during 2011. While Funds were negatively impacted by lwer asset values, they succeeded in attracting new capital and new custmers despite the uncertainty in the market. Our crprate advisry peratin, Investment Banking, reprted weaker develpment cmpared with 2010. The year began n a strng nte but declined as market turmil increased. The Securities business area was adversely impacted by lw cmmissin-driven trading n the Nrdic exchanges last year. During 2011, we have devted time and energy t integrating the cmpanies acquired in 2010 and t launching a cmprehensive restructuring prgramme aimed at increasing efficiency and reducing csts. One main cmpnent in the n-ging restructuring is the centralisatin and integratin f supprt peratins, which is aimed t achieve savings f mre than SEK 250m. The new rganisatin cmprises three independent business areas, each cnstituting a separate cmpany, with the aim f creating greater wnership f the entire business chain. We are pleased that 2012 has started in a psitive manner with increased activity in the brkerage peratins, a very gd pipeline in crprate advisry services, a strng inflw t ur funds and a private banking peratin that cntinues t attract new custmers and capital. Our visin is t be the leading financial advisr in the Nrdic regin and in 2012 we will cntinue t develp the peratin and ffer advice frm the fremst experts in the market. A cmbinatin f lcal entrepreneurship, glbal investment skills and high internal efficiency will prvide us with a strng platfrm fr cntinued value generatin.
