Nordnet publishes its first quarter 2023 interim report

Nordnet AB (publ) today publishes its interim report for the first quarter 2023. The full report is available at www.nordnetab.com.

”Nordnet has had a very strong start to the year. Our income for the period amounted to SEK 1,134 million, the highest to date for an individual quarter. The improved mood among savers has resulted in higher trading activity compared to the end of the last year, setting a positive trend for our trading-related income. Net interest income greatly improved compared with the first quarter of the previous year with higher interest rates contributing to an improved return on both the liquidity- and lending portfolio. Nordnet has good customer growth and positive net savings. During the quarter roughly 43,000 new savers chose Nordnet as their financial partner and a total for seven billion SEK was put onto the platform. My thanks to all employees, customers, partners, shareholders, as well as to all of you who follow and interact with us on a daily basis. Our success is built on your commitment”, says Lars-Åke Norling, CEO of Nordnet.
