SEB's first quarter result 2017
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
"With SEB's diversified business mix, we can support our customers and deliver
sustainable profitable growth also in the prevailing complex environment.
Despite many worrying tendencies and events on a global scale, there are also
reasons to be more optimistic on growth in the world economy. Just as seen
towards the end of last year, business sentiment has continued to grow more
positive which was reflected in the financial markets during the quarter. This
resulted in a solid start of the year for SEB", says Johan Torgeby, SEB's
President and CEO, commenting on the quarterly result.
The operating profit for the first quarter 2017 was SEK 5.5bn (5.6) and return
on equity 12.2 per cent (12.2). Excluding items affecting comparability, which
occurred in 2016, return on equity was 11.7 per cent (11.8).
Operating income for the first quarter amounted to SEK 11.2bn (11.6). Compared
to the first quarter 2016, operating income increased by 10 per cent. Operating
expenses amounted to SEK 5.4bn, a decrease of 5 per cent compared to the
previous quarter (5.7).
Asset quality remained strong. The net credit loss level was 5 basis points for
the quarter (8). The liquidity coverage ratio was 133 per cent (168 at year-
end). The capital position continued to strengthen with a Common Equity Tier 1
capital ratio of 18.9 per cent (18.8 at year-end). Our own assessment of the
CET1 requirement, including the maturity floor and corporate risk weights, was
17.0 per cent.
