Adjusted comparative figures due to changes in business segments

As previously announced, the implementation of the Bank’s new organisation commenced this winter. In Sweden, the five regional banks were replaced during the first quarter with a new, more customer-centric organisation, in which the branches are instead divided into 24 county units under a shared country organisation.

In conjunction with this restructuring, many members of staff who previously worked at the five regional head offices were organisationally re-assigned to other areas of the Bank, mainly Capital Markets, the central functions for finance, legal affairs and human resources, and the unit for financial crime prevention.

Recalculated figures for the business segments pertaining to the last eight quarters are available from handelsbanken.com/ir
