Comments by Lars-Eric Petersson, President and CEO: The uncertain market situation we saw in 2001 has stabilized somewhat. However, in many of the world's savings markets, customers are still waiting on the sidelines. Although the financial markets have recovered from the low point following September 11, the recovery has been hesitant due to a number of coinciding economic and market factors. Naturally, Skandia is affected by the current market conditions, but despite this we see several good signs. Sales have been rising slightly in recent quarters, even though we still have a way to go before we achieve our long-term target levels. Funds under management - our revenue base - continue to increase. Our market shares in the strained US market are recovering, and our financial position is strengthening in accordance with our plans. In anticipation of clear signs of a market recovery, we continue to focus our business strategy in our core businesses. We are launching new products and strengthening our distribution capacity. Skandia's business model, combined with the underlying need in the market for increased long-term savings, creates conditions for favourable development in the future. OVERVIEW Despite lower sales volumes, the result of operations for the group increased by 7% during the first quarter, to SEK 860 million (804), and the operational return was 12%, which is unchanged compared with the full-year 2001. The operating result, which includes financial effects, was SEK 170 million (-2,543). Sales of unit linked assurance amounted to SEK 22.3 billion (25.8). New sales decreased by 19%. However, sales were higher than in the last two quarters. The result of operations for unit linked assurance increased by 9%, to SEK 955 million (877). The profit margin was 8.8%, which is an improvement compared with the last two quarters. Sales of mutual fund savings products decreased by 34%, to SEK 7.2 billion. Here, too, however, sales were higher compared with the preceding two quarters. Operations showed a negative result of SEK -58 million, which is attributable to investments in new markets and product development. Funds under management have increased by 4% during the last twelve months, to SEK 631.9 billion. The acquisition of Bankhall in the UK was carried out during the first quarter. This operation is included in the accounts as from 5 February 2002. It is expected that the awaited regulatory clearance that is required to complete the sale of Skandia Asset Management can be received during the second quarter of 2002. In 2001 the operational cash flow in the unit linked assurance operations was positive in the amount of SEK 1 billion, and for the group as a whole it was positive in the amount of SEK 0.1 billion. The underlying cash flow remained positive during the first quarter, and total borrowings decreased by SEK 2.5 billion. As previously announced, our goal - assuming all other factors are unchanged - is to reduce the group's borrowings by approximately SEK 5 billion during the first half of 2002. INSURANCE AND SAVINGS PRODUCTS Market and Sales Unit Linked Assurance Sales of unit linked assurance decreased by 14%. Sales have increased successively during the last two quarters. New sales decreased by 19% (new sales defined by the industry-wide definition as periodic premiums recalculated to full-year figures plus 1/10 of single premiums during the period). Sales in the USA decreased by 26% in local currency. Following weak market conditions in the last two years, sales have stabilized since the third quarter of 2001. Skandia is the market leader in the independent broker distribution channel. According to preliminary estimates, Skandia continued to improve its total market position during the first quarter as a result of continued renewal of its product offering. The focus on the core variable annuity and mutual fund products entails a considerable increase in Skandia's distribution capacity in the independent brokers segment. In the British operation, sales decreased by 20% in local currency. New sales decreased by 21%. The sales decline is mainly attributable to the offshore market and single-premium products, while sales of products with annual premium continued to rise. Sales in Sweden decreased by 7%. Skandia is the market leader and has a balanced product portfolio. New sales decreased by 21%, mainly due to the impact of individual contracts during the preceding year. In Germany, sales increased by 20% in local currency. The product portfolio built up by Skandia is now contributing to stable sales growth. In Japan, sales increased by 300% in local currency. The increase is attributable to new distribution agreements, which are now having an impact on sales. Funds under management increased during the last twelve months by 4% to SEK 499 billion. Net flows were positive during the first quarter, while the strengthening of the Swedish krona had a slight negative impact on asset values. Payments to policyholders, expressed as a percentage of assets under management, amounted to 10.5% on a moving 12-month basis (9.8% at year-end 2001). Surrenders accounted for 9.0 percentage points (8.3) of this total, which is within underlying assumptions. Mutual Fund Savings Products Following a long period of falling sales in connection with the stock market decline, sales increased by 4% compared with the fourth quarter of 2001, to SEK 7.2 billion. However, sales were down 34% compared with the same period a year earlier. Sales in the USA have stabilized and were unchanged compared with the fourth quarter of 2001. Compared with the first quarter of 2001, sales were down 57% in local currency. In the UK, sales increased sharply compared with the preceding quarter, to SEK 2.1 billion. Skandia's market share gradually increased during the second half of 2001 in a contracting market. Sales in the German market are showing continued strong development. Funds under management increased by 12% during the last twelve months, to SEK 111.3 billion. Net flows remained positive during the first quarter, while exchange rate movements had a slight negative impact on the value of funds under management during the first quarter. Life Assurance Sales in Spain decreased as a result of a shift in focus toward unit linked assurance products. Consequently, assets under management decreased from SEK 15.4 billion to SEK 14.3 billion. Operating Result and Profitability Unit Linked Assurance Cost-cutting measures have begun to have an effect, and thus the result for newly written business was higher than during the two preceding quarters. The lower sales volume compared with the first quarter a year earlier had a negative impact on the result. The result for newly written business during the year decreased to SEK 295 million (395). The profit margin was higher compared with the second half of 2001 in both the USA and the UK, but lower compared with the first quarter of 2001. In Sweden the profit margin remained good. In other markets together the margin fell compared with the first quarter of 2001, mainly due to the sharp rise in sales volume in Japan, which is not yet making a positive earnings contribution. Despite lower sales volumes, the result of operations increased by 9% compared with a year earlier, to SEK 955 million (877). Once again, the outcome compared with operative assumptions made a positive contribution to the result, which is an expression of the conservative assumptions used in pricing products. Mutual Fund Savings Products The result was SEK -58 million (13). The result decline is mainly due to acquisition costs in connection with the growth in sales of products with a term extending over several years in new markets, such as Germany. These costs are not deferred. The increase in sales of these products is making a positive contribution to future earnings. The result was also charged with development costs. Life Assurance The result for life assurance was SEK 59 million (34). BUSINESSES It is expected that the awaited regulatory approval that is required to complete the sale of Skandia Asset Management can be received during the second quarter of 2002. The result for the day-to-day business was SEK 8 million (2). SkandiaBanken's result decreased to SEK 8 million (27), mainly due to strong expansion, which requires greater investments in infrastructure. Skandia-Banken grew its customer base during the first quarter by 42,000, to 1,163,000 customers. SkandiaNetline's result improved to SEK 7 million (-13). The result was charged with development costs for the banking operation in Switzerland and costs for the group's Global Business Development unit. The investment income generated by the group's treasury unit improved. The market risk associated with the parent company's investments has decreased. Group Expenses Group expenses comprise management and structural costs. Goodwill amortization has been allocated to the respective business units. Exchange Rate Effects Currency movements had a slight negative impact during the period. Sales were affected by SEK 55 million and the operating result for the group by SEK 3 million, after recalculation to lower average exchange rates compared with the full-year 2001. Total assets decreased by SEK 45 billion during the year as a result of currency movements. BALANCE SHEET AND NET ASSET VALUE Skandia's financial position strengthened during the first quarter. Borrowings decreased, and liquidity is good. Unutilized credit facilities amounted to SEK 9.1 billion. During the first quarter the acquisition of Bankhall was carried out in the UK, leading to an increase in goodwill of SEK 3.0 billion. In connection with the acquisition, as previously announced, a management buyout was conducted of the accompanying IT business, Lynx plc, with financial support to be provided by Skandia for a maximum period of three years. Skandia now owns 19% of If, which means that If is no longer reported in accordance with the equity method. In connection with this, If's continuing result is no longer included in Skandia's result. If is therefore reported in the balance sheet as an investment asset valued at SEK 2.8 billion. The book value of If on the balance sheet is lower than Skandia's share of If's net asset value. Net asset value amounted to SEK 37.2 billion (SEK 37.2 billion at year- end 2001). Capital employed in the group, which in addition to net asset value consists of borrowings to finance investments in subsidiaries, amounted to SEK 52.4 billion (51.5). Borrowing and Liquidity In 2001 the operational cash flow in the unit linked assurance operations was positive in the amount of SEK 1 billion, and for the group as a whole it was positive in the amount of SEK 0.1 billion. The underlying cash flow remained positive during the first quarter, and total borrowings decreased by SEK 2.5 billion. As previously announced, our goal - assuming all other factors are unchanged - is to reduce the group's borrowings by approximately SEK 5 billion during the first half of 2002. Subordinated loans totalling approximately SEK 700 million were floated.

For the sake of comparison, earlier periods have also been adjusted accordingly. The operating result for If for these periods amounted to SEK - 445 million as per March 2001 and SEK 1,015 million as per Dec. 2001. 3) For definition, see page 16. 4) All return measurements for shareholders' equity and net asset value pertain to moving twelve-month figures. 5) According to recommendation RR18 of the Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Council, the dilutive effect is calculated if the key ratio "Earnings per share" deteriorates.
