Press release 4 February 2021

Today Nordnet publishes its interim report for the fourth quarter 2020. The full report is available at www.nordnetab.com.

-  Today we can present a record quarter for Nordnet, in all aspects. The conclusion of 2020 was characterized by a continued strong interest in savings and investments, which combined with an improved user experience has led to strong growth in our business. During the period October-December, we welcomed almost 100,000 new customers to Nordnet, which is the highest number ever in a single quarter. Net savings and number of trades are also at new peak levels. Our strong growth and high level of activity combined with good cost control mean that we are wrapping up a fantastic quarter from a financial perspective. The adjusted profit before tax amounted to SEK 473 million, which is nearly 300 percent better than the same quarter of the previous year says Lars-Åke Norling, CEO of Nordnet.
