Adjusted comparison figures due to new business segment division

As previously announced, a reorganisation was carried out on 1 January 2016
which affected the Handelsbanken Capital Markets and Handelsbanken Sweden
business segments.

Large Corporates in Sweden was moved from Handelsbanken Capital Markets to the
Handelsbanken Sweden segment.

In the Handelsbanken Capital Markets segment, Corporate Finance and Debt Capital
Markets were moved from the Merchant Banking International business area to the
Markets & Asset Management business area.

The change affects the external segment reporting for Handelsbanken Sweden and
Handelsbanken Capital Markets. The historic comparison figures for both these
segments have therefore been adjusted.


An Excel file with recalculated comparison figures for the past eight quarters
is available at http://www.handelsbanken.se/ireng.
