Statement by the CEO
Swedish exports are strong
Swedish exports have been strong in the first half of the year, and the outlook for the Swedish export industry is positive according to SEKs Export Credit Trends Survey.
Swedish exporters have experienced high activity levels and from January to May, exports of goods increased 11 percent to Skr 537 billion compared with Skr 481 billion for the same period in 2016. However, the strong figures posted by exports of services of Skr 169 billion in the fourth quarter of 2016 were not repeated in the first quarter of 2017. Instead, exports of services declined 15 percent to Skr 143 billion. SEK published this springs Export Credit Trends Survey in June. The survey reported optimism among exporters with an increasing number of companies noting a rise in export order intake. The proportion of companies planning new recruitments is increasing robustly and, for the first time since 2013, the Export Credit Trends Survey found that the percentage of companies that plan to recruit in Sweden is higher than the percentage planning to recruit abroad.
In the first half of 2017, SEKs new lending totaled Skr 48.7 billion (1H16: Skr 36.4 billion). Lending is allocated between various forms of financial solutions and between new and existing clients, which is in line with SEKs strategy of broadening its operations. SEK completed a number of larger export credits in the second quarter. The choice of companies to utilize export credits despite favorable capital markets underlines the competitiveness of the Swedish export credit system.
In the first half of 2017, SEK participated in five different delegations. These delegations travelled to Brazil, Colombia, India, Indonesia and China under the common themes of environmental technology and the development of sustainable cities. Sweden is a global leader in a number of key areas in sustainable urban development, and SEK partners with exporters and other organizations in Team Sweden to ensure the competitiveness of Swedens offering.
In the first half of 2017, SEK received two prestigious awards: from FAR (the institute for the accountancy profession in Sweden), the award for the best Swedish sustainability report, and the ECA Sustainable Deal of the Year award that was presented at the annual TXF Export & Project Finance fair in Venice.
SEK has remained active in the borrowing market and issued a three-year, USD 1.5 billion benchmark bond that was well-received by investors.
It is pleasing to see that the operating profit for the first six months, despite higher costs, posted a year-on-year improvement and amounted to Skr 486 million (1H16: Skr 461 million). Healthy business activity has strengthened net interest income which totaled Skr 852 million (1H16: Skr 830 million). SEK is continuing to drive large internal IT development projects, which negatively impact the companys operating expenses.
Efforts to improve our measurement of market risks are essentially complete, while adjustments to the new IFRS9 accounting standards and new government reporting continue in the fall.
SEK has a strong capitalization with a total capital ratio of 21.5 percent (year-end 2016: 25.1 percent) and healthy liquidity. The return on equity amounted to 4.3 percent for the first six months (1H16: 4.3 percent). SEK remains well placed to assist the Swedish export industry with financial solutions and to thereby strengthen Swedish exporters competitiveness.
The choice of companies to utilize export credits despite favorable capital markets underlines the competitiveness of the Swedish export credit system.
Catrin Fransson, CEO
Operations
Robust new lending
In line with SEKs strategy, efforts to broaden the scope of business with existing customers and attract new customers have generated good results during the first six months of the year. Year-on-year, new lending was higher and amounted to Skr 31.2 billion (2Q16: Skr 15.3 billion), in the second quarter. In total, new lending in the first half of the year amounted to Skr 48.7 billion (1H16: Skr 36.4 billion). New lending during the quarter was well allocated between various financing solutions, such as export credits, trade finance and direct lending to Swedish exporters. The high lending volume was primarily attributable to a number of larger export credits in the period that had a considerable impact on the total volume of new lending. The distribution of new lending across different markets was relatively successful during the quarter, and SEK has, inter alia, succeeded in conducting business in many of the countries prioritized in the governments export strategy, including countries in Africa.

Continued high liquidity
The first half of 2017 has been stable with high liquidity in the capital markets. During the first six months, SEK completed several public financing transactions. These include SEKs issuance in the second quarter of a three-year, USD 1.5 billion benchmark bond, which was well received by investors. Moreover, SEK has issued a large volume of structured debt in the first half of the year, mainly in the Japanese Uridashi market where SEK remains one of the largest foreign issuers.
SEK continues to have high liquidity for new lending and remains well-prepared to meet the future financing needs of the Swedish export industry.

Comments on the consolidated financial accounts
First six months of 2017
Operating profit for the first six months amounted to Skr 486 million (1H16: Skr 461 million). Net profit was Skr 371 million (1H16: Skr 360 million).
Net interest revenues
Net interest revenues for the first six months amounted to Skr 852 million (1H16: Skr 830 million), an increase of 3 percent compared to the same period in the previous year. Net interest revenues were affected negatively by a higher resolution fee of Skr 97 million (1H16: Skr 46 million), which SEK is required to pay to a fund to support the recovery of credit institutions. The higher resolution fee was offset by increased interest revenue from credit and lower borrowing costs. Average interest-bearing assets were in line with the corresponding period in the previous year.

Net results of financial transactions
Net results of financial transactions for the first six months amounted to Skr -30 million (1H16: Skr -47 million), mainly due to unrealized losses related to the fair value of the credit spreads on SEKs own debt, which was partially offset by unrealized gains related to the fair value of currency swaps.

The operating expenses for the first six months increased by 3 percent compared to the corresponding period in the previous year. The increase was due to increased personnel expenses. Beginning in 2017, SEK introduced a system for individual variable remuneration for permanent employees with customer or
business responsibility, with the exception of members of the executive management. Remuneration at the company level is capped at a maximum of two months salary for those who qualify. For the first six months, a provision of Skr 5 million was made for the remuneration in the system (1H16: reversal of Skr 4 million). During the same period in the previous year, a reversal of Skr 4 million for the earlier employee incentive scheme was made.
Net credit losses
Net credit losses for the first six months amounted to Skr -10 million (1H16: Skr -3 million). In the first six months, a provision of Skr -17 million was made for anticipated credit losses relative to individually-assessed counterparties. A Skr -10 million provision for expected credit losses to the reserve for collectively-assessed credits was also made as a result of a new method for calculating sovereign risk (see Note 10). Earlier impaired credits corresponding to Skr 64 million have now been concluded, and have resulted in a realized loss of Skr 47 million and a reversal of Skr 17 million. The collectively-assessed credits reserve amounted to Skr 180 million at June 30, 2017 (year-end 2016: Skr 170 million).

A major part of the items to be reclassified to operating profit were related to cash flow hedges. The effect was related to reclassification from other comprehensive income to net interest revenues due to the fact that hedging instruments previously were included in cash flow hedges.
Items not to be reclassified to operating profit were related to revaluation of defined benefit pensions. The negative impact in fair value was caused by the lower discount rate.
Second quarter of 2017
Operating profit for the second quarter amounted to Skr 229 million (2Q16: Skr 151 million). Net profit was Skr 175 million (2Q16: Skr 115 million).
Net interest revenues
Net interest revenues for the second quarter amounted to Skr 422 million (2Q16: Skr 401 million), an increase of 5 percent compared to the corresponding period in the previous year. Increased earnings from credits and liquidity had a positive impact on net interest revenues, which was partially offset by a higher resolution fee, which SEK is required to pay to a fund to support the recovery of credit institutions.

Operating expenses for the second quarter increased by 6 percent compared to the same period the previous year. Increased personnel expenses were offset by lower consultant costs. Beginning in 2017, SEK introduced a system for individual variable remuneration for permanent employees with customer or business responsibility, with the exception of members of the executive management team. Remuneration at the company level is capped at a maximum of two months salary for those who qualify. For the second quarter, a provision of Skr 2 million was made for the remuneration in the system. During the second quarter of the previous year, the reversal of Skr 7 million made during the first quarter for the previous employee incentive scheme was reserved.
Net credit losses
For the second quarter of 2017, net credit losses amounted to Skr 13 million (2Q16: Skr -4 million). A previous impaired receivable has been fully repaid, which has resulted in a reversal of Skr 15 million.
Statement of Financial Position
Total assets and liquidity investments
Both liquidity investments and outstanding loans decreased compared to the year-end in 2016, due to maturities and repayments of loans.

SEKs exposures to central and regional governments have decreased somewhat as exposures to corporates have increased (see Note 11). Total exposures amounted to Skr 337.5 billion on June 30, 2017 (year-end 2016: Skr 340.7 billion).
Liabilities and equity
As of June 30, 2017, the aggregate volume of available funds and shareholders equity exceeded the aggregate volume of loans outstanding and loans committed at all maturities. Accordingly, SEK considers all of its outstanding commitments to be covered through maturity.
In 2017, SEK has a credit facility in place with the Swedish National Debt Office of up to Skr 125 billion. To date, SEK has not utilized the credit facility. The credit facility can only be utilized for loans covered by the officially supported export credits system (CIRR).
Capital adequacy
SEK maintains strong capitalization, with a total capital ratio of 21.5 percent (year-end 2016: 25.1 percent) and healthy liquidity. The change in capital ratios compared to the year-end 2016 is primarily due to SEK applying the internal ratings-based (IRB) approach to exposures to central and regional governments and to multilateral development banks beginning in the first quarter of 2017 (see Note 10).

Risk factors and the macro environment
Various risks arise as part of SEKs operations. SEKs primary exposure is to credit risk, but SEK is also exposed to market, liquidity, refinancing, operational and sustainability risks. For a more detailed description of SEKs risk factors, refer to the Risk and Capital Management section in SEKs 2016 Annual Report.
The Swedish economy has performed well during the beginning of 2017. Both employment and economic growth have shown positive signs and contributed to the upswing. Swedish gross domestic product (GDP) continued to grow in the first quarter but returned to a calmer growth rate after a strong fourth quarter last year. Weaker service exports were the primary reason for the slowdown in GDP growth in the first quarter, but increases in both goods and services imports also contributed to the slow-down.
The annualized rate of Swedish GDP growth was approximately 2.2 percent in the first quarter and the unemployment rate was 6.7 percent as of May 2017. The consumer price index rose by 1.7 percent on an annualized basis as of May 2017, and the repo rate remains fixed at -0.5 percent. According to Statistics Sweden (SCB), in the first quarter, Swedish exports decreased by 0.2 percent compared to the prior quarter. Exports of goods increased by 1.7 percent and exports of services decreased by 4.3 percent. However, Swedish exports increased by almost 10 percent in the first quarter compared to the corresponding figure one year ago.
Financial markets have been stable in the first six months of 2017, despite political uncertainty mainly due to Brexit and US policy. European cooperation faces major challenges and political uncertainty risks ultimately affecting the real economy and the financial system.
Financial targets
Profitability target
|
A return on equity of at least 6 percent over time.
|
Dividend policy
|
Payment of an ordinary dividend of 30 percent of the profit for the year.
|
Capital target |
Under normal conditions, SEKs total capital ratio is to exceed the Swedish FSAs total capital adequacy requirement by 1 to 3 percentage points. Currently this means a total capital ratio between 18-20 percent.

In addition to this, the supplementary accounting rules for groups (RFR 1) issued by the Swedish Financial Reporting Board have been applied. SEK also follows the states general guidelines regarding external reporting in accordance with its corporate governance policy and guidelines for state-owned companies.
The accounting policies, methods of computation and presentation of the Consolidated Group and Aktiebolaget Svensk Exportkredit (publ) (Swedish Export Credit Corporation) (the Parent Company), are in all material aspects, the same as those used for the 2016 annual financial statements. The Interim Report does not include all the disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the companys annual financial statements as of December 31, 2016.
Future changes to IFRS
IFRS 9 Financial instruments covering classification and measurement, impairment and general hedge accounting was adopted by IASB in 2014. The adoption of IFRS 9 becomes mandatorily effective beginning January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. During the first six months of 2017, several preliminary decisions have been made. The assessments required under the solely payments of principal and interest test (SPPI) and business model test have been completed. Loans will be measured at amortized cost because SPPI was met, and SEKs business model is to hold loans to maturity. Liquidity investments will be measured at fair value through profit and loss, as the business model for the portfolio requires a daily evaluation at fair value. Classification according to IFRS 9 will increase the volatility in net profit, because previously under IAS 39, changes in fair value of liquidity investments were recorded through other comprehensive income rather than through profit and loss. Point-in-time models for Probability of Default, Loss Given Default and Exposure at Default have been developed and will be decided by the Boards Finance Committee and Credit Committee during the fall.
SEK is in the process of evaluating the effects from IFRS 9, and in line with the parameters established in accordance with IFRS 9, the simulated expected loss amount will be closer to the expected loss amount. For now, no conclusions have been reached as to any effects on SEKs financial statements, capital adequacy or large exposures. It is still not clear how the capital requirements rules will treat the relationship between IFRS 9 expected credit losses and the expected loan losses according to the capital adequacy. During the second half of 2017, the IFRS 9 project will continue with calibrating parameters, parallel run, and establishing governance for IFRS 9.
The IASB has also adopted IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which is applicable from January 1, 2018. IFRS 15 is not applicable for financial instruments or leasing agreements. IFRS 15 is not expected to have any material effects on SEKs financial statements, capital adequacy or large exposures.
There are no other IFRS or IFRS IC interpretations that are not yet applicable that are expected to have a material impact on SEKs financial statements, capital adequacy or large exposures.

1 During the fourth quarter of 2016, SEK adopted a new valuation method for derivatives. The new valuation method led to a negative impact on operating profit.
SEKs general business model is to hold financial instruments measured at fair value to maturity. The net fair value changes that occur, mainly related to changes in credit spreads on SEKs own debt and basis-spreads, and recognized in net results of financial transactions, which could be significant in a single reporting period, will not affect earnings over time since the lifetime cumulative changes in the instruments market value will net to zero if it is held to maturity and is a performing instrument. When financial instruments are not held to maturity,
realized gains and losses can occur, as in cases where SEK repurchases its own debt, or where lending is repaid early and the related hedging instruments are terminated prematurely.
These effects are presented in the table above under the line items Derecognition of financial instruments not measured at fair value through profit or loss, Financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and Financial instruments under fair-value hedge accounting.

1 Net credit losses for the first six months amounted to Skr -10 million (1H16: Skr -3 million). The increase compared to the corresponding period the previous year is mainly explained by impairments of Skr -17 million (1H16: Skr -6 million) relative to individually-assessed counterparties and an increase to the reserve for collectively-assessed credits of Skr -10 million (1H16: Skr - million) as a result of a new method for calculating sovereign risk (see Note 10). Reversal of previous impairments amounted to Skr 17 million, which mainly relates to a receivable where agreement has been reached. Skr 47 million was established as a credit loss for which previous reserves have been applied.

1 A larger, previous past-due, unpaid loan was restructured and refinanced in 2016. The old loan has been fully repaid and refinanced with a new loan at terms and conditions which mainly correspond to the terms and conditions of the old loan. The new loan is fully covered by adequate guarantees and therefore no loan loss has been recorded.
As of December 31, 2016, SEK had one large unpaid amount, which represented the main part of the total loans outstanding. The unpaid amount relates to the fourth quarter of 2015 and was, to a large extent, covered by adequate guarantees which is why expected future credit loss was limited in relation to the amount included in Past-Due Receivables above. The unpaid amount was restructured as of March 31, 2017, and was partially replaced with a new loan, for which no reserve was considered necessary. The established credit loss was covered by previous write-downs.
2 Of the aggregate amount of principal and interest past due, Skr 9 million (year-end 2016: Skr 38 million) was due for payment more than three but less than, or equal to, six months before the end of the reporting period, Skr 14 million (year-end 2016: Skr 4 million) was due for payment more than six but less than, or equal to, nine months before the end of the reporting period, and Skr - million (year-end 2016: Skr 2 million) was due for payment more than nine months before the end of the reporting period.

1 Gains and losses through profit or loss, including the impact of exchange rates, is reported as interest net revenue and results of financial transactions. The unrealized fair value changes for assets and liabilities, including the impact of exchange rates, held as of June 30, 2017, amount to Skr 259 million loss (year-end 2016: Skr 12 million profit) and are reported as net results of financial transactions.
Uncertainty of valuation of Level 3 instruments
As the estimation of the parameters included in the models to calculate the market value of Level 3-instruments is associated with subjectivity and uncertainty, SEK has, in accordance with IFRS 13, conducted an analysis of the difference in fair value of Level 3-instruments using other established parameter values. Option models and discounted cash flows are used to value the Level 3-instruments. For Level 3-instruments with a longer duration where extrapolated discount curves are used, a sensitivity analysis has been conducted with regards to the interest. The revaluation of the portfolio is made using an interest rate shift of +/ 10 basis points. For the Level 3-instruments that are significantly affected by different types of correlations, which are not based on observable market data, a revaluation has been made by shifting the correlations. The basis for this sensitivity analysis is therefore the revaluation of the relevant part of the portfolio, where the correlations have been adjusted by +/ 10 percentage points. After the revaluation is performed, the max/min value for each transaction is identified. For Level 3-instruments that are significantly affected by non-observable market data, such as SEKs own creditworthiness, a revaluation has been made by shifting the credit curve. The revaluation is made by shifting the credit spreads by +/- 10 basis points, which has been assessed as a reasonable change of SEKs credit spread. The analysis shows the impact of the non-observable market data on the market value. In addition, the market value will be affected by observable market data.
The result of the analysis corresponds with SEKs business model where issued securities are linked with a matched hedging derivative. This means that an increase or decrease in fair value of the issued security, excluding SEKs own credit spread, is offset by an equally large increase or decrease of fair value in the derivative because the underlying market data in the security is also used to evaluate the derivative.

1 Represents the range of correlations that SEK has determined market participants would use when pricing the instruments. The structures are represented both in the security and the derivative hedging the bond. The sensitivity analysis is based on a shift in the interval for correlation between 0.1 and 0.1. The correlation is expressed as a value between 1 and 1, where 0 indicates no relationship, 1 indicates maximum positive relationship and -1 indicates maximum negative relationship. The maximum correlation in the range of unobservable inputs can thus be from 1 to 1. The table presents the scenario analysis of the effect on Level 3-instruments, with maximum positive and negative changes.
2 Of the total impact on profit or loss, the sensitivity effect of SEKs own credit spread was Skr 246 million (year-end 2016: Skr 244 million) under a maximum scenario and Skr -246 million (year-end 2016: Skr -244 million) under a minimum scenario.

In accordance with SEKs policies with regard to counterparty, interest rate, currency exchange, and other exposures, SEK uses, and is a party to, different kinds of derivative instruments, mostly various interest rate-related and currency exchange-related contracts primarily to hedge risk exposure
inherent in financial assets and liabilities. These contracts are carried at fair value in the statements of financial position on a contract-by-contract basis.
Note 8. S-system
SEK administers, for compensation, the Swedish States export credit support system (CIRR loans), and the States related concessionary credit program (together referred to as the S-system). In accordance with its assignment in the owners instruction to the company issued by the Swedish State, SEK manages the granting of loans in the S-system. See Note 1(f) in the Annual Report for 2016.
The remuneration from the S-system to SEK in accordance with the owners instruction is shown as a part of interest revenues in the statement of comprehensive income for SEK (see the line item Remuneration to SEK in the table below). The assets and liabilities of the S-system are included in SEKs statement of financial position. Unrealized fair value changes on derivatives related to the S-system are presented net as a claim from the State under other assets.

1 Capital ratios excl. of buffer requirements are the quotients of the relevant capital measure and the total risk exposure amount. The minimum requirements according to CRR (as defined below), which, without regard to the transitional period, already have come into force in Sweden, are 4.5 percent, 6.0 percent and 8.0 percent related to Common Equity Tier 1 capital, Tier 1 capital and total Own Funds respectively. The change in capital ratios compared to year-end 2016 is primarily due to SEK applying the internal rating-based (IRB) approach to exposures to central and regional governments and to multilateral development banks.
2 Expressed as a percentage of total risk exposure amount. Beginning March 31, 2017, the 4.5 percent minimum requirement is shown separately to clarify the summation of this ratio.
3 Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio as reported less minimum requirement of 4.5 percent (excluding buffer requirements) and less 1.5 percent, consisting of Common Equity Tier 1 used to meet the Tier 1 requirements, since SEK does not have any additional Tier 1 capital. Beginning March 31, 2017, the ratio exclusively expresses the availability to meet buffer requirements. The year-end 2016 value has been recalculated to reflect this change in methodology.
4 The minimum requirement is 8.0 percent.
For further information on capital adequacy, risks, and CRR 1 , see the section entitled Risk and capital management in SEKs Annual Report for 2016.
1 CRR means Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of June 26, 2013 on prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment firms and amending Regulation (EU) No 648/2012.

1 Expected loss amount calculated according to the IRB approach is a gross deduction from own funds. The gross deduction is decreased by impairment related to exposures for which expected loss is calculated. Excess amounts of such impairment will increase own funds. This increase is limited to 0.6 percent of SEKs risk exposure amount according to the IRB approach related to exposures to corporates and financial institutions. As of June 30, 2017, the limitation rule has not had any effect (year-end 2016: no effect).

2 Of which counterparty risk in derivatives: EAD Skr 4,691 million (year-end 2016: Skr 4,515 million), Risk exposure amount of Skr 1,763 million (year-end 2016: Skr 1,784 million) and Capital requirement of Skr 141 million (year-end 2016: Skr 143 million).
3 Of which related to specialized lending: EAD Skr 2,763 million (year-end 2016: Skr 2,853 million), Risk exposure amount of Skr 1,900 million (year-end 2016: Skr 1,942 million) and Capital requirement of Skr 152 million (year-end 2016: Skr 155 million).
Credit risk
For risk classification and quantification of credit risk, SEK uses the IRB approach. Specifically, SEK applies the Foundation Approach. Under the Foundation Approach, the company determines the probability of default within one year (PD) for each of its counterparties, while the remaining parameters are established in accordance with CRR. The Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority has approved SEKs IRB approach. Certain exposures are, by permission from the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority, exempted from application of the IRB approach, and, instead, the standardized approach is applied. Beginning March 31, 2017, by permission from the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority, the IRB approach is applied also to SEKs exposures to central and regional governments and to multilateral development banks. Minimum capital requirements for these exposures increased due to the expanded IRB approach, which explains a great deal of the 21.9 percent increase in SEKs total minimum capital requirements for credit risk between December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2017. Counterparty risk exposure amounts in derivatives are calculated in accordance with the mark-to-market method .
Credit valuation adjustment risk
Credit valuation adjustment risk shall be calculated for all over-the-counter derivative contracts, except for credit derivatives used as credit protection and transactions with a qualifying central counterparty. SEK calculates this capital requirement according to the standardized method .
Foreign exchange risk
Foreign exchange risk is calculated according to the standardized approach, whereas the scenario approach is used for calculating the gamma and volatility risks.
Commodities risk
Capital requirements for commodity risk are calculated in accordance with the simplified approach under the standardized approach. The scenario approach is used for calculating the gamma and volatility risks.
Operational risk
Capital requirement for operational risk is calculated according to the standardized approach. The companys operations are divided into business areas as defined in the CRR. The capital requirement for each area is calculated by multiplying a factor depending on the business area by an income indicator. The factors applicable for SEK are 15 percent and 18 percent. The income indicators consist of the average operating income for the past three financial years for each business area.
Transitional rules
CRR states that the previously applicable transition rules, i.e. the Basel I floor, will continue to apply until 2017. According to the transitional rules, the capital requirement should be calculated in parallel on the basis of the Basel I rules. To the extent that the Basel I-based capital requirement, reduced to 80 percent, exceeds the
capital requirement based on CRR, the capital requirement under the above mentioned Basel I-based rules should constitute the minimum capital requirement.
Capital buffer requirements
SEK expects to meet capital buffer requirements with Common Equity Tier 1 capital. The mandatory capital conservation buffer is 2.5 percent. The countercyclical buffer rate that will be applied to exposures located in Sweden was increased from 1.5 percent to 2.0 percent as of March 19, 2017. As of June 30, 2017, the capital requirement related to relevant exposures in Sweden is 68 percent (year-end 2016: 69 percent) of the total relevant capital requirement regardless of location; this fraction is also the weight applied on the Swedish buffer rate when calculating SEKs countercyclical capital buffer. Buffer rates activated in other countries may have effects on SEK, but as most capital requirements from relevant credit exposures are related to Sweden, the potential effect is limited. As of June 30, 2017, the contribution to SEKs countercyclical buffer from buffer rates in other countries was 0.02 percentage points (year-end 2016: 0.01 percentage points). SEK has not been classified as a systemically important institution by any financial regulatory authority. The capital buffer requirements for systemically important institutions that came into force January 1, 2016, will hence not apply to SEK.

SEK regularly conducts an internal capital adequacy assessment process, during which the company determines how much capital is needed in order to cover its risks. The result of SEKs assessment of capital adequacy is presented above. For more information regarding the internal capital adequacy assessment process and its methods, please see the Risk and Capital management section of SEKs Annual Report for 2016.
Note 11. Exposures
Net exposures are reported after taking into consideration effects of guarantees and credit default swaps. Amounts are calculated in accordance with capital adequacy calculations, but before the application of credit conversion factors.

SEK has established the following expected dates for the publication of financial information and other related matters:
October 24, 2017 Interim Report for the period January 1, 2017 September 30, 2017
February 1, 2018 Year-end Report for the period January 1, 2017 December 31, 2017
The report contains information that SEK will disclose pursuant to the Securities Markets Act and/or the Financial Instruments Trading Act. The information was submitted for publication on July 18, 2017 14:00 (CET).
Additional information about SEK, including investor presentations and the Annual Report for the financial year 2016, is available at www.sek.se. Information available on or accessible through SEKs website is not incorporated herein by reference.
Definitions
Alternative performance measures (see *)
Alternative performance measures (APMs) are key performance indicators that are not defined under IFRS or in the Capital Requirements Directive IV (CRD IV) or in regulation (EU) No. 575/2013 on prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment firms (CRR). SEK has chosen to present these, either because they are in common use within the industry or because they accord with SEKs assignment from the Swedish government. The APMs are used internally to monitor and manage operations, and are not considered to be directly comparable with similar key performance indicators presented by other companies. For additional information regarding the APMs, refer to www.sek.se.
*After-tax return on equity
Net profit, expressed as a percentage per annum of the current years average equity (calculated using the opening and closing balances for the report period).
*Average interest-bearing assets
The total of cash and cash equivalents, treasuries/government bonds, other interest-bearing securities except loans, loans in the form of interest-bearing securities, loans to credit institutions and loans to the public. Calculated using the opening and closing balances for the report period.
*Average interest-bearing liabilities
The total of outstanding senior debt and subordinated securities issued. Calculated using the opening and closing balances for the report period.
Basic and diluted earnings per share (Skr)
Net profit divided by the average number of shares, which amounted to 3,990,000 for each period.
*CIRR loans as percentage of new lending
The proportion of officially supported export credits (CIRR) of new lending.
Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio
The capital ratio is the quotient of total common equity tier 1 capital and the total risk exposure amount.
Large companies
Companies with an annual turnover of more than Skr 5 billion.
Leverage ratio
Tier 1 capital expressed as a percentage of the exposure measured under CRR (refer to Note 10).
Liquidity coverage ratio (LCR)
The liquidity coverage ratio is a liquidity metric that shows SEKs highly liquid assets in relation to the companys net cash outflows for the next 30 calendar days. An LCR of 100 percent means that the companys liquidity reserve is of sufficient size to enable the company to manage stressed liquidity outflows over a period of 30 days. Unlike the Swedish FSAs rules, the EU rules take into account the outflows that correspond to the need to pledge collateral for derivatives that would arise as a result of the effects of a negative market scenario.
Loans
Lending pertains to all credit facilities provided in the form of interest-bearing securities, and credit facilities granted by traditional documentation. SEK considers these amounts to be useful measurements of SEKs lending volumes. Accordingly, comments on lending volumes in this report pertain to amounts based on this definition (see the Statement of Financial Position and Note 9).
*Loans, outstanding and undisbursed
The total of loans in the form of interest-bearing securities, loans to credit institutions, loans to the public and loans, outstanding and undisbursed. Deduction is made for cash collateral under the security agreements for derivative contracts and deposits with time to maturity exceeding three months.
Medium-sized companies
Companies with an annual turnover between Skr 500 million and Skr 5 billion, inclusive.
Net stable funding ratio (NSFR)
This ratio measures stable funding in relation to the companys illiquid assets over a one-year, stressed scenario in accordance with Basel III.
*New lending
New lending includes all new committed loans, irrespective of tenor. Not all new lending is reported in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows since certain portions comprise committed undisbursed loans (see Note 9). The amounts reported for committed undisbursed loans may change when presented in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position due to changes in exchange rates, for example.
*New long-term borrowing
New borrowings with maturities exceeding one year, for which the amounts are based on the trade date. In the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, amounts are shown based on settlement dates. Differences can occur between these amounts, since trade dates and settlement dates can differ and occur in different reporting periods.
*Outstanding senior debt
The total of borrowing from credit institutions, borrowing from the public and senior securities issued.
Repurchase and redemption of own debt
The amounts are based on the trade date. In the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, amounts are shown based on settlement dates. Differences can occur between these amounts, since trade dates and settlement dates can differ and occur in different reporting periods.
S-system
The S-system comprises of the system of officially supported export credits (CIRR) and the system for concessionary loans.
Swedish exporters
SEKs clients that directly or indirectly promote Swedish export.
Tier 1 capital ratio
The capital ratio is the quotient of total tier 1 capital and the total risk exposure amount.
Total capital ratio
The capital ratio is the quotient of total own funds and the total risk exposure amount.
Unless otherwise stated, amounts in this report are in millions (mn) of Swedish kronor (Skr), abbreviated Skr mn and relate to the group consisting of the Parent Company and its consolidated subsidiaries (together, the Group or the Consolidated Group). AB Svensk Exportkredit (SEK), is a Swedish corporation with the identity number 556084-0315, and with its registered office in Stockholm, Sweden. SEK is a public limited liability company as defined in the Swedish Companies Act. In some instances, under Swedish law, a public company is obliged to add (publ.) to its company name.
