FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE January - September 2012 compared with January - September 2011 Operating profit increased by SEK 1,462 million to SEK 5,815 million (4,353).

Excluding these branches, net interest income thus increased by SEK 1,064 million. The increase in net interest income is due to an increase in lending volume and to improved margins due to the company's good position in the funding market. Net gains/losses on financial items at fair value amounted to SEK 128 million (-4). Expenses rose by SEK 9 million to SEK 193 million (184), primarily due to increased IT expenses related to the branch in Finland. Net loan losses totalled SEK 6 million. During the period January - September 2011, recoveries exceeded new loan losses and the net amount recovered was SEK 21 million. Before deduction of the provision for probable loan losses, the volume of impaired loans was SEK 118 million (93). SEK 82 million (55) of the impaired loans were non-performing loans, while SEK 36 million (38) were loans on which the borrowers pay interest and amortisation, but which are nevertheless regarded as impaired. There were also non-performing loans of SEK 1,142 million (850) that are not classed as being impaired loans. After deduction for specific provisions totalling SEK -44 million (-38) and collective provisions of SEK -5 million (- 6) for probable loan losses, impaired loans totalled SEK 69 million (49).
