Interim Report 1 January – 31 March 2011: SBAB Bank reports continued positive net interest income trend compared with the fourth quarter of 2010

SBAB Bank’s CEO Eva Cederbalk comments on the results:

“During the quarter, we experienced a slackening of demand and increased competition for residential mortgages. It is therefore satisfying being able to report that our net interest income developed positively compared with the preceding quarter.”

Operating results of first quarter of 2011 compared with first quarter of 2010
SBAB’s operating results declined compared with the year-earlier period to a loss of SEK 164 million (profit: 172). The results were negatively affected in the amount of SEK 347 million due to factors including market-value changes in basis swaps, which are used to manage currency risks. Adjusted for the effect of basis-swaps spreads, operating profit amounted to SEK 183 million. Net interest income declined to SEK 405 million (476). This was due to a considerable share of the preceding year’s net interest income being strengthened by a gain of SEK 71 million from derivatives attributable to the repurchase of issued bonds. The loan loss rate remained very low at 0.02% (0.01) and SBAB’s interest margins remained at a stable level.
