ceo’s statement

satisfied customers in focus

Satisfied customers

For Nordnet, an important area in 2012 is our efforts to have the industry´s most satisfied customers in the long term. To achieve that, we are working on a broad front, with everything from small-scale but smart updates on our website to major customer events where savings are on the agenda. Over the quarter we, among other things, launched an entirely digitised new customer process, which now makes it possible to become a customer using an electronic ID and entirely without complicated paperwork. We also carried out a number of customer activities aimed at increasing our visibility. We have noticed that customers appreciate being able to meet us outside the web, and this also gives us opportunities to find out what people think about us and the services we offer. In January, Nordnet was named Bank/Stockbroker of the Year in Denmark by the Danish Shareholders Association for the fourth consecutive year. This is a particular honour given that the winner is chosen by the members of the association. Nordnet led several sub-categories in the competition, including service and general satisfaction – a sign that our focus on customer satisfaction is generating the desired effects.

Increasing market shares

With the first quarter of the year now behind us, we can state that the gloomiest macroeconomic forecasts from last year were not fulfilled. The trend during the first months of the year was better than towards the end of 2011, which has been reflected in a more positive tone among the Nordic stock exchanges. We have also seen increased risk appetite among customers and net savings in particular are maintaining a good level. It is clear that Nordnet represents an attractive alternative when people review their savings, and our market shares in the Nordic savings markets are growing. In Norway, for example, we hold a share of slightly less than 1 percent of the mutual fund market but have fully 8 percent of the inflows in 2012. In Sweden, we hold a share of slightly more than 1 percent of the savings market, but had more than 4 percent of the inflows in 2011.

Our costs remain at the levels we achieved in connection with the savings measures implemented in 2011. Combined with stable net interest income, we are maintaining a high level of cost coverage, that is, income excluding commission in relation to our costs, which we consider necessary in the current market climate.

Continued flexibility

Regardless of whether macroeconomic concerns have declined, many of the underlying problems remain and the storm clouds of the European debt crisis have yet to disperse entirely. In other words, the year ahead remains uncertain and we continue to act accordingly, with a high degree of flexibility and maintaining opportunities to apply either the accelerator or the brake. Regardless of the situation, I view our development with confidence – focusing on satisfied customers, we are continuing our charted course towards becoming the leading bank for savings in the Nordic region.

Jacob Kaplan Acting CEO, Nordnet

business development

introduction

2012 began with a positive tone among the Nordic stock exchanges, thanks to a stabilised macroeconomic situation and generally good earnings among listed companies. Net commission for the first quarter was SEK 24 per trade, compared with SEK 28 in the corresponding quarter in 2011. The principal explanations behind the lower level are a lower average value per trade due to lower share prices, and the fact that customer group with the lowest commissions accounted for a larger proportion of trades.

The number of active customers amounts to 350,700, corresponding to an increase of 9 percent over the past 12-month period. The number of active accounts is 417,900, corresponding to an increase of 12 percent. Each customer has an average of 1.19 accounts.

Our customers made an average of 62,100 trades per day during the period, which is a decline of 6 percent compared with the year-earlier period. Systems accessibility was 99.9 percent in the first quarter.

Our customers’ total savings capital amounted to SEK 101.0 billion at the end of the period, an increase of SEK 11.2 billion, or about 12 percent, since the start of the year. The increase in savings capital can mainly be attributed to the rises in the stock markets over the first quarter of the year. Net savings during the period were SEK 3.6 billion.

The number of accounts with fund savings was 88,200 at the end of the period, which is an increase of 2,800 since the start of the year. Savings capital in funds totalled SEK 17.5 billion, which is SEK 1.8 billion higher than at the start of 2012.

There were approximately 67,200 accounts with pension savings and endowment insurance at the end of the period, representing an increase of 3,100 accounts since the start of the year. The combined savings capital has risen by SEK 2.5 billion to about SEK 20.4 billion since the start of the year, of which some SEK 15.2 billion is in the form of endowment insurance. To date, approximately 8,000 accounts have linked up Nordnet’ s occupational pension offering in Sweden and Denmark, with a total savings capital of approximately SEK 1.3 billion.

*Lending amounts to SEK 1.65 (1.44) billion.

income and expenses

January-March 2012

During the period, operating income declined by 9 percent to SEK 264.9 million as a result of decreased net commission. During the period, 4.0 million trades were made, compared with 4.2 million in the year-earlier period. Net commission per trade was SEK 24, compared with SEK 28 in the year-earlier period.

Operating costs before credit losses decreased by 10 percent to SEK 161.3 million compared with the first quarter of 2011. The lower cost level is mainly explained by reduced costs for the administrative platform.

Operating profit fell by 7 percent to SEK 92.6 million and the profit for the period declined by 8 percent to SEK 72.5 million. The profit margin was 27 percent (27). Earnings per share before dilution fell by 8 percent to SEK 0.41 (0.45).

Cost coverage, i.e. operating income excluding transaction-related net commission in relation to operating expenses, amounted to 98 percent (90).

Operating income excluding transaction-related net commissions rose by 2 percent compared with the previous year. Investment in marketing decreased by 8 percent and amounted to SEK 9.0 million for the period. The acquisition cost per net new account over the period relating to marketing investment averaged approximately SEK 700 (1,300).

Table: Profit per country

market development

During the first quarter, Nordnet’ s customers made 3,972,500 trades in all markets, corresponding to a decline of 202,800 compared to the same period last year. The stock market trend during the quarter was positive, with rising stock markets, mainly as a consequence of the decision on a package of measures for Greece, which was the storm cloud casting a shadow across Europe in 2011. Net savings, that is, customers’ deposits of cash and securities less withdrawals, amounted to SEK 3.6 billion, a decline of SEK 1.6 billion compared with the corresponding quarter in 2011. Part of the decline is due to changed tax regulations regarding endowment insurance in Sweden.

Sweden

Trading activity among Swedish customers fell by about 6 percent compared with the corresponding quarter in 2011. Over the quarter, the number of active accounts rose by 6,800, corresponding to 2.9 percent. On an annual basis, the number of active accounts has grown by 10.4 percent. During the quarter, the new savings form Investeringssparkonto (ISK) was launched. Interest in the new account was relatively extensive and about 4,300 accounts were opened by both existing and new customers during the period. Of these, 2,600 were active, that is, with deposited capital at the close of the quarter.

Norway

Trading activity among Norwegian customers fell by about 7 percent compared with the corresponding quarter in 2011. Over the quarter, the number of active accounts rose by 1,500, corresponding to 2.7 percent. On an annual basis, the number of active accounts has grown by 9.6 percent. During the quarter, new national statistics on Norwegians’ mutual funds savings were presented, with Nordnet’s share of net inflow amounting to about

8 percent. Historically, Nordnet has mainly been strong in share trading, although saving in mutual funds is an area offering considerable development potential and where the company’s offering holds an advanced position, with a large and independent selection.

Denmark

Trading activity among Danish customers rose by about 0.3 percent compared with the corresponding quarter in 2011. Over the quarter, the number of active accounts rose by 1,200, corresponding to 4.7 percent. On an annual basis, the number of active accounts has grown by 19.6 percent. In March, Nordnet was, for the fourth consecutive year, and the fifth in total, named “Bank/Stockbroker of the Year” by the Danish Shareholders Association whose members each year select the bank or stockbroker they consider to have benefited savers most.

Finland

Trading activity among Finnish customers fell by about 2.5 percent during the quarter compared with the corresponding quarter in 2011. Over the quarter, the number of active accounts rose by 2,900, corresponding to 3.3 percent. On an annual basis, the number of active accounts has grown by 17 percent. Although share savings dominate among Finnish savers, strong growth can also be observed in mutual fund savings. During the period, the number of customers with mutual fund savings rose by 15 percent.

financial position

Nordnet offers two types of lending – loans with securities as collateral and unsecured loans. For both, Nordnet has well developed procedures for dealing with overlending.

For unsecured loans, a tried and tested scoring model is used to assess the credit risk of private individuals applying for credit. The model assesses the risk associated with each loan application and provides the basis for approval and pricing. The credit risk in these lending operations is to be considered higher than in Nordnet’s other operations, although this is matched by higher interest margins.

Nordnet’s deposit surplus is mainly invested in covered bonds and the Nordic banking system.

At the end of the period, the Group’s liquid funds amounted to SEK 3,047 million, of which frozen assets amounted to SEK 103 million. Liquid funds include loans to credit institutions. In addition, the group has interest-bearing investments with a total fair value of SEK 5,345 million. The Group’s equity amounted to SEK 1,510 million. The equity is divided between 175,027,886 shares at SEK 8.63 per share.

As regards the financial conglomerate in which Nordnet AB (publ) is the parent company, the asset base amounted to SEK 1,036 million and the capital requirement to SEK 508 million, producing a capital surplus of SEK 528 million. At the close of the quarter, the capital coverage ratio amounted to 2.04, compared with 1.61 at the corresponding time in 2011.

other

parent company

The parent company is a holding company. Net interest for the period amounted to an expense of SEK 1.8 million. This amount includes group-internal interest income of SEK 1.8 million. The parent company’s operating income amounted to SEK 2.9 million and relates to internal Group administrative services. The parent company’s loss after financial items amounted to SEK 2.3 million. The Parent Company’s liquid funds amounted to SEK 7.4 million, and its equity to SEK 1,138 million.

employees

During the quarter, Nordnet’s board decided to appoint Håkan Nyberg as CEO for the company. Håkan Nyberg today holds the position of CEO at Entercard and will take up his new position no later than 1 September. Until then, Jacob Kaplan remains as acting CEO.

As of 31 March 2011, the company had 335 (358)full-time employees. The average number of full-time positions for the period was 319 (345). Full-time employees include temporary employees but not employees on parental or other leave.

significant risks and uncertainties

Nordnet’s operations are influenced by a number of environmental factors, the effects of which on the Group’s profit and financial position can be controlled to varying degrees. When assessing the Group’s future development, it is important to take into account the risk factors alongside any opportunities for profit growth. A description of Nordnet’s exposure to risk and handling of risks can be found in note 7 in the Annual Report for 2011. There have been no significant changes since that time.

performance-related share programme

In accordance with decisions by the Annual General Meetings of 22 April 2010 and 28 April 2011, Nordnet has established two long-range performance-related share incentive programmes: “Performance-Related Share Programme 2010” and “Performance-Related Share Programme 2011”, covering about 25 people including the CEO.

Employees who participate in “Performance-Related Share Programme 2010” and “performance-related share programme 2011” can set aside an amount corresponding to a maximum 5 percent of their gross compensation for purchases of Nordnet shares on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm during a 12-month period from the implementation of each programme. If the shares purchased are retained by the employee for at least three years after purchase, and if the employee has been employed within the Nordnet group during the entire three-year period, the employee can have the right to a compensation-free matching of those shares according to a predetermined amount. Due to the Performance-Related Share Programmes 2010 and 2011, the Annual General Meeting decided to authorize the board to carry out acquisition and transfer of shares in Nordnet AB (publ) on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm. This authorization may be exercised on one or more occasions before the Annual General Meeting in 2012. A maximum of 522,000 shares may be acquired in order to ensure delivery of shares to participants in Performance-Related Share Programmes 2010 and 2011. No matching shares were acquired in 2011 and 2010. The Board of Nordnet proposes that the Annual General Meeting of April 26, 2012 establishes a performance-related share incentive programme for the current year, “Performance-Related Share Programme 2012”. Complete information is available in Swedish from the company’s website: www.org.nordnet.se.

review report

Nordnet AB (publ), corporate ID 556249-1687

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim report for Nordnet AB as at March 31th, 2012 and for the three months period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with the Swedish Standard on Review Engagements, SÖG 2410 Review of Interim Reports Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, ISA, and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material aspects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act regarding the Group, and in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act regarding the Parent Company.
