SEB quarterly report – Third quarter 2026 2 CEO comment Following the announcement on 6 October that Johan Torgeby will leave his position as President and CEO, I was appointed acting President and CEO, a role I have taken on with a strong sense of responsibility. We have a clear strategy and business plan that remains unchanged, and we will continue to move the bank forward with a strong focus on our customers and our business. SEB has a long history of supporting people and businesses realise their ideas. This commitment spans generations and is as relevant today as it was when the bank was founded. Continued resilience amid global uncertainty Geopolitical uncertainty, rising interest rates and high energy prices continued to affect the global economy during the third quarter. Despite these challenges, the global economy remained resilient. Household consumption and labour markets held up relatively well and, at the same time, economic activity was supported by continued strong investment in areas such as AI, defence and the energy transition. Overall, equity markets also performed well. During September, there was a sharp repricing of market interest rates following several different factors. During the quarter, both the Fed and the ECB raised their policy rates, while the Riksbank left the policy rate unchanged, but indicated an increased probability of a rate hike later in the year. In Sweden, the economic recovery continued to gain momentum and broaden over the summer, supported by increased household consumption. At the same time, higher interest rates and persistently high energy prices risk dampening consumer confidence and consumption going forward. In a rapidly changing world, our role as a bank is to support our customers navigate uncertainty. Robust result in volatile rate environment Overall customer activity remained solid. We saw continued credit demand across all divisions, with lending growth of 3 per cent in the quarter and 6 per cent year on year. Operating income was stable compared to a year ago. In the quarter, net interest income continued to grow, while net fee and commission was down in line with seasonal patterns, but increased compared to the same quarter last year. Investment Banking activity remained resilient across most business areas, in particular Equities and Debt Capital Markets. Net financial income was negatively impacted by muted client activity and a challenging market-making environment for the fixed income, foreign exchange and commodities business. We continue to manage costs diligently and as a result of the ongoing cost consolidation, we expect to come in below the 2026 full year cost target by approximately SEK 500-600m. Asset quality remained robust and we reported 2 basis points in net expected credit losses. Overall, we delivered a robust result with a return on equity of 13 per cent. IRB update Mid-October, the Swedish FSA decided to impose a temporary add-on to SEB’s capital requirements as of 31 December 2026 due to deficiencies identified in the bank’s IRB models 1. The review concerns regulatory compliance and is not related to the level of capital in relation to the bank’s risks. We acknowledge that meeting the new regulatory requirements has taken longer than expected. SEB expects to start submitting new IRB models in the third quarter of 2027 at the latest. 1 For further information, see page 12, “Events after the balance sheet date”. Strong capital generation The pickup in credit demand from the bank’s customers, experienced over the past quarters, continued. Nonetheless, the bank’s capital buffer remained unchanged at 250 basis points as a result of healthy capital generation. In light of continued loan growth in combination with the capital impact from the Swedish FSA’s decision, the bank will pause its share buybacks. Closing a chapter A chapter relating to historical anti-money laundering matters in the Baltics during 2015-2019 has now been closed. SEB reached a resolution with the New York State Department of Financial Services, while the US Department of Justice concluded its review without taking any action. Continuing to build for the future AI is central to our efforts to enhance customer value, improve productivity and future-proof the bank. During the quarter, we took the next step with Sferical AI, a company co-founded by SEB to establish a sovereign AI compute platform in Sweden. We are now moving from development to practical application, enabling us to gradually scale the use of AI across the bank. At the same time, several other AI initiatives are progressing from exploration to deployment. Our focus is on using the technology where it creates tangible value for our customers and employees, in a safe and responsible manner. It is encouraging that institutional investors once again ranked SEB highly, with client assessments of our equities business improved for the fourth consecutive year. Among private customers, satisfaction remains high in personal interactions, while we continue to improve the digital customer experience. During the quarter, we introduced a number of enhancements to our mobile app. We remain focused on customers, business and simplicity. This year's employee survey shows continued strong employee engagement, above the global benchmark, which is a key factor in continuing to develop the bank and create value for our customers. Jonas Ahlström Acting President and CEO

SEB quarterly report – Third quarter 2026 7 The third quarter Operating profit decreased by 13 per cent compared with the previous quarter and amounted to SEK 9,412m (10,774). Year- on-year, operating profit decreased by 3 per cent. Net profit decreased to SEK 7,498m (8,664). Operating income Total operating income decreased by 7 per cent compared with the previous quarter and amounted to SEK 18,626m (20,055). Year- on-year, total operating income was unchanged. Net interest income increased by 2 per cent compared with the previous quarter to SEK 10,881m (10,687), explained mainly by higher volumes and higher interest rates. The positive currency effect amounted to SEK 72m. Year-on-year, net interest income increased by 3 per cent. Net interest income breakdown 1 Interest income from loans to the public increased by SEK 1,128m compared with the previous quarter, driven by higher interest rates, higher lending volumes and one more calendar day. Interest expense on deposits from the public increased by SEK 599m in the third quarter, mainly due to higher interest rates. Deposit guarantee fees amounted to SEK 96m (110). Other net interest income decreased by SEK 337m, mainly due to increased funding following stronger loan growth, but also from a seasonally lower activity in Fixed Income. Net fee and commission income breakdown Net fee and commission income decreased by 7 per cent to SEK 6,702m (7,194) mainly due to a seasonal slowdown in investment banking activity following a strong second quarter, as well as lower card fees. Currency effects had a positive impact of SEK 76m. Year-on-year, net fee and commission income increased by 7 per cent. Net payment and card fees decreased by 2 per cent to SEK 1,886m (1,934), reflecting seasonal effects. Net securities commission income decreased by 13 per cent to SEK 2,850m (3,258), following the high activity levels recorded in the second quarter. Gross commission income from custody and mutual funds, excluding performance fees, increased by 3 per cent to SEK 3,053m (2,960), mainly on the back of higher asset values. Performance fees amounted to SEK 2m (9). Gross commission income from securities issuance amounted to SEK 152m (518) and gross secondary market commission income amounted to SEK 459m (563). Net life insurance commissions increased by 1 per cent to SEK 228m (226).

Comparative numbers (presented in brackets throughout the report) Unless otherwise stated: - the result for the reporting quarter is compared with the previous quarter, - the result for the first nine months is compared with the first nine months of the prior year, and - business volumes are compared with the previous quarter. The following reporting changes were implemented 1 January 2026 - Changed presentation of interest accruals on derivatives that economically hedge banking book items. From 2026, these accruals are reported in net interest income instead of net financial income, to better reflect banking margin performance. In addition, interest income and expense from derivatives in hedge accounting relationships, are presented in net interest income and now aligned with the presentation of the hedged item under the effective interest rate method. This move had a positive effect on net interest income and a corresponding negative effect on net financial income. - SEB moved Mid Corporate clients from Business & Retail Banking to Corporate & Investment Banking, resulting in a restatement of both divisions for the last eight quarters, 2024-2025. This restatement affects both the income statement and balance sheet.
Page 8
SEB quarterly report – Third quarter 2026 8 Net financial income decreased by 54 per cent to SEK 1,124m (2,421), mainly due to lower client-related income and a challenging market environment for market-making in FICC Markets and negative valuation effects in Treasury’s liquidity portfolio. Net financial income from the divisions decreased to SEK 1,166m (2,028), mainly reflecting the development in the Corporate & Investment Banking division. The fair value adjustments on derivative positions1 amounted to SEK 106m (-5). Valuation changes of larger holdings, including among others FinTech and GreenTech investments and strategic shares, amounted to SEK 46m (676). Euroclear had a positive effect of SEK 403m (698). Group Function and eliminations also include a negative impact from Treasury. Net other income amounted to SEK -81m (-247). Unrealised valuation and hedge accounting effects are included in this line item. The third quarter was less negatively affected by market valuations of non-core assets held within Corporate & Investment Banking compared with the preceding quarter. Operating expenses Total operating expenses increased by 2 per cent and amounted to SEK 8,178m (8,014). Staff costs increased by 2 per cent, driven by higher social security costs related to long-term incentive programmes, partly offset by lower pension and redundancy costs. The higher social security costs reflected the increase in the SEB share price. The number of full-time equivalents decreased to 18,413 (18,491), reflecting the ongoing cost consolidation as well as seasonal staff during the summer period. Other expenses increased by 3 per cent, mainly due to higher IT costs. Supervisory fees amounted to SEK 62m (55). Costs have been managed diligently during 2026. The cost target for 2026 is outlined on page 13. Net expected credit losses Net expected credit losses amounted to SEK 179m (345), corresponding to a net expected credit loss level of 2 basis points (5). Overall asset quality remained robust. New provisions were partly offset by reversals and a minor release of portfolio model overlays to SEK 0.8bn (0.8). For more information on credit risk, asset quality, net expected credit losses and ECL allowances, see page 10 and notes 5, 11, 12 and 13. 1 Includes unrealised valuation adjustments from counterparty risk (CVA), own credit risk standing in derivatives (DVA), funding (FVA) and collateral (ColVa). Own credit risk for issued securities (OCA) is reflected in Other comprehensive income. Imposed levies Imposed levies amounted to SEK 857m (922). The risk tax on credit institutions in Sweden amounted to SEK 409m (409). The resolution fund fees, mainly related to the parent company, amounted to SEK 344m (353). The solidarity contribution levy in Latvia increased to SEK 101m (5), mainly because the previous quarter included a partial refund of the prior year’s contributions. See note 6. Items affecting comparability There were no items affecting comparability in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter 2025, an impairment of goodwill for SEB Card Norway of SEK 416m was recognised in the division Business & Retail Banking. See note 7. Income tax expense Income tax expense amounted to SEK 1,914m (2,110) with an effective tax rate of 20.3 per cent (19.6). The change in the effective tax rate is mainly explained by tax-exempt revaluations of investments in shares held for business purposes. Return on equity Return on equity for the third quarter amounted to 13.0 per cent (15.7). Other comprehensive income Other comprehensive income amounted to SEK 2,636m (2,801). The value of SEB’s pension plan assets continued to exceed the defined benefit obligations to the employees. Meanwhile, the discount rate used for the Swedish pension obligation was changed to 3.95 per cent (3.40). The net value of the defined benefit pension plans contributed with SEK 2,008m (2,504) to other comprehensive income. The long-term inflation assumption remained unchanged at 2 per cent. The net effect from the valuation of balance sheet items that may subsequently be reclassified to the income statement, i.e. cash flow hedges and translation of foreign operations, amounted to SEK 631m (298).

Net interest income breakdown 1 Interest income from loans to the public decreased by SEK 3,901m during the first nine months mainly due to the lower interest rate environment. Interest expense on deposits from the public decreased by SEK 7,258m in the first nine months, mainly due to the lower interest rate environment. The deposit guarantee fees decreased to SEK 316m (356). Other net interest income decreased by SEK 3,554m, mainly due to lower volumes and interest rates related to liquidity at central banks. Net fee and commission income breakdown Net fee and commission income increased by 3 per cent in the first nine months to SEK 20,305m (19,677). Net payment and card fees were largely unchanged at SEK 5,620m (5,635) compared with the first nine months of 2025. Net securities commission income increased by 9 per cent to SEK 8,877m (8,150).

Gross secondary market commission income increased to SEK 1,505m (1,334), supported by higher client activity. Net life insurance commissions decreased by 4 per cent to SEK 673m (703), mainly due to lower average underlying asset values, partly reflecting the effect of the pension reform in Lithuania. Net other commission income decreased by 1 per cent to SEK 5,136m (5,189). Gross lending fees were unchanged at SEK 3,090m (3,101), gross advisory fees decreased to SEK 580m (604), while deposits, derivatives, guarantees and other increased to SEK 2,258m (2,138). Net financial income decreased by 17 per cent to SEK 5,243m (6,323) compared with the first nine months of 2025. Customer activity in FICC Markets was lower compared with the first nine months of 2025, when client activity was higher. The fair value adjustments on derivative positions 2 amounted to SEK 43m (84). Valuation changes of larger holdings, including among others FinTech and GreenTech investments and strategic shares amounted to SEK 653m (87). Euroclear had a positive effect of SEK 1,116m (144), following an agreement for divestment. Net other income amounted to SEK -272m (38), mainly reflecting negative market valuations of non-core assets held within the Corporate & Investment Banking division, primarily recognised in the second quarter. Unrealised valuation and hedge accounting effects are included in this line item. Operating expenses Total operating expenses decreased by 1 per cent to SEK 23,807m (24,144). Staff costs decreased by 1 per cent during the first nine months, mainly due to lower pension, redundancy and other staff costs. The number of full-time equivalents decreased to 18,431 (19,008), reflecting cost consolidation and efficiencies. Supervisory fees amounted to SEK 182m (178). Net expected credit losses Net expected credit losses amounted to SEK 1,070m (1,161), corresponding to a net expected credit loss level of 5 basis points (5). New provisions were offset by reversals of provisions and a release of portfolio model overlays. The overall asset quality of the credit portfolio remained robust. For more information on credit risk, asset quality, net expected credit losses and the portfolio model overlays, see page 10 and notes 5, 11, 12 and 13. Imposed levies Imposed levies decreased marginally to SEK 2,591m (2,668). See note 6. Income tax expense Income tax expense amounted to SEK 5,958m (6,318) with an effective tax rate of 20.1 per cent (21.0). The change in the effective tax rate is mainly explained by tax-exempt revaluations of investments in shares held for business purposes. Return on equity Return on equity for the first nine months amounted to 13.9 per cent (14.1). Other comprehensive income Other comprehensive income amounted to SEK 6,787m (-1,129). The net value of the defined benefit pension plans contributed with SEK 5,495m (-197). The net effect from the valuation of balance sheet items that may subsequently be reclassified to the income statement, i.e. cash flow hedges and translation of foreign operations amounted to SEK 1,297m (-939). 1 The table specifies interest income from loans to the public and interest expense from deposits from the public, and other, without adjustments for internal transfer pricing. 2 Includes unrealised valuation adjustments from counterparty risk (CVA), own credit risk standing in derivatives (DVA), funding (FVA) and collateral (ColVa).

SEB quarterly report – Third quarter 2026 10 Business volumes Total assets as of 30 September 2026 amounted to SEK 4,439bn, representing an increase of SEK 85bn from the end of the second quarter 2026 (4,355). Loans Loans to the public increased by SEK 91bn in the third quarter, to SEK 2,500bn (2,409), mainly driven by higher loan volumes to non-financial corporates and a positive currency effect amounting to SEK 36bn. Loans as well as contingent liabilities and derivatives are included and managed in the credit portfolio. See the section Risk and capital for information on the credit portfolio. Deposits and borrowings Deposits and borrowings from the public decreased by SEK 51bn in the third quarter, to SEK 1,979bn (2,030), mainly due to lower deposits in Corporate & Investment Banking, reflecting event- driven deposits in the previous quarter. Deposits from financial corporations decreased by SEK 2bn and deposits from non-financial corporations decreased by SEK 32bn. Household deposits were unchanged. Debt securities Debt securities increased by SEK 28bn to SEK 343bn in the third quarter (315). Debt securities are held to support customer risk management and trading activities as well as SEB’s liquidity management. They are short-term in nature, have high creditworthiness and are recognised at market value. Assets under management and custody Total assets under management increased to SEK 3,157bn (3,069) during the third quarter. Average assets under management also increased. The underlying market value increased by SEK 87bn (195), reflecting positive equity market developments during the quarter. Net flow of assets under management amounted to SEK 0.3bn (11). Assets under custody increased to SEK 22,798bn (22,372). Risk and capital SEB’s business is exposed to different types of risks. The risk composition of the Group, as well as the related risk, liquidity and capital management, are described in SEB’s Annual Report for 2025 (see page 44-45 and notes G37 and G38), in the Capital Adequacy and Risk Management Report for 2025 as well as the quarterly additional Pillar 3 disclosures. Further information is available in SEB’s Fact Book that is published quarterly. Credit risk and asset quality SEB’s credit portfolio, which includes loans, contingent liabilities and derivatives, increased by SEK 122bn in the third quarter to SEK 3,298bn (3,176). The corporate portfolio increased by SEK 95bn mainly due to a broad-based underlying credit demand from large corporates and in the Baltics. Currency effects contributed positively. The real estate management portfolios, including housing co-operative associations, increased by SEK 12bn across all divisions. Household mortgages increased by SEK 12bn, with growth both in Sweden and the Baltics. The overall asset quality of the credit portfolio remained robust. Stage 2 exposures, gross, decreased to SEK 93bn (104) due to risk migration in the household segment from Stage 2 to Stage 1. Stage 3 exposures, gross, amounted to SEK 12.5bn (12.5). The share of Stage 3 loans, gross, was 0.51 per cent (0.54). Total ECL allowances amounted to SEK 7.3bn (7.5), of which SEK 0.8bn (0.8) were portfolio model overlays. The decrease in ECL allowances was driven by write-offs against reserves, reversals and a release of model overlays, which were partly offset by new provisions and currency effects. Notes 11-13 provide a more detailed breakdown of SEB’s loan portfolio by industry and asset quality as well as corresponding ECL allowances. Market risk Market volatility related to interest rates led to increased market risk, measured as VaR. Average VaR in the trading book (as used for capital adequacy measurement under the Internal Model Approach) increased in the third quarter and amounted to SEK 181m (176). SEB does not expect to lose more than this amount, on average, during a period of ten trading days with 99 per cent probability. SEB’s business model is mainly driven by customer demand. 30 Sep 30 Jun 31 Dec SEK bn 2026 2026 2025 General governments 17 16 15 Financial corporations 152 136 123 Non-financial corporations 1 128 1 090 1 029 Households 762 748 741 Collateral margin 119 109 97 Reverse repos 322 309 234 Loans to the public 2 500 2 409 2 238 30 Sep 30 Jun 31 Dec SEK bn 2026 2026 2025 General governments 72 96 32 Financial corporations 526 528 410 Non-financial corporations 821 853 760 Households 482 482 464 Collateral margin 68 63 34 Repos 9 9 3 Deposits and borrowings from the public 1 979 2 030 1 702 30 Sep 30 Jun 31 Dec SEK bn 2026 2026 2025 Banks 134 131 107 Corporates 1 875 1 780 1 665 Commercial real estate management 263 251 232 Residential real estate management 141 140 140 Housing co-operative associations Sweden 68 67 66 Public administration 48 50 53 Household mortgage 685 673 661 Household other 85 83 83 Total credit portfolio 3 298 3 176 3 006

SEB quarterly report – Third quarter 2026 11 Liquidity and funding SEB maintains a strong and diversified liquidity and funding position with good market access. The loan-to-deposit ratio, excluding repos and collateral margin, increased to 108 per cent (102) as of 30 September 2026, due to lower deposits, reflecting event-driven deposits in the previous quarter. Funding markets remained resilient through a volatile third quarter. Credit spreads widened from tight levels as geopolitical uncertainty, persistent inflation concerns and volatile interest rates weighed on market sentiment. Despite the more challenging backdrop, investor demand remained solid and primary markets continued to function well across the capital structure. New issuance during the quarter amounted to SEK 51bn, of which SEK 29bn in covered bonds, SEK 10bn in senior unsecured bonds, SEK 6bn in senior non-preferred and SEK 6bn in the form of Tier 2 capital. SEK 12bn long-term funding matured during the quarter. Outstanding short-term funding in the form of commercial paper and certificates of deposit increased by SEK 77bn. SEB will maintain a proactive funding approach that ensures adequate buffers to regulatory requirements as well as defends uplifts from key rating metrics such as Fitch’s Resolution Debt Buffer and Moody’s LGF. Weighted High Quality Liquid Assets, defined according to the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) requirements, decreased to SEK 978bn as of 30 September 2026 (1,021). The LCR was 136 per cent (125). The minimum regulatory requirement is 100 per cent. The net stable funding ratio (NSFR) requirement is that stable funding shall be at least 100 per cent of illiquid assets. As of 30 September 2026, SEB’s NSFR was 113 per cent (110). Rating Following a methodology change implemented in May 2026, Fitch upgraded SEB’s long-term senior unsecured debt to AA+ with a stable outlook. The rating is based on SEB’s low risk appetite, well- executed strategy, and robust asset quality and capitalisation. The rating was affirmed in June 2026. In April 2026, Moody’s affirmed SEB’s long-term unsecured debt rating of Aa3 and changed the outlook from positive to stable. An upgrade of SEB’s Baseline Credit Assessment (BCA) rating from A3 to A2 reflecting the bank’s long-term track record, judicious risk management and prudent capital management, compensated for negative pressure from the depositor preference to be implemented in the EU. In November 2025, S&P upgraded the credit rating of SEB’s long-term senior unsecured debt from A+ to AA- with a stable outlook. The upgrade reflects the bank’s ability to generate high and stable risk-adjusted profitability, strong business diversification and robust asset quality and capitalisation. Risk exposure amount The total risk exposure amount (REA) increased by SEK 28bn to SEK 1,077bn during the third quarter. Credit risk REA increased by SEK 30bn, driven by both volume growth and foreign exchange movements. See further note 17. Capital position The following table shows REA and capital ratios according to applicable capital regulation: SEB’s Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio was 17.1 per cent (17.2) as of 30 September 2026. CET1 capital increased by SEK 4.3bn mainly due to the quarterly net result. REA increased by SEK 28bn mainly driven by an increase in credit risk REA. SEB’s applicable CET1 capital requirement and Pillar 2 guidance (P2G) at the end of the third quarter was 14.6 per cent (14.7). In the 2026 SREP (Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process) decision, SEB’s Pillar 2 requirement (P2R) decreased by around 0.1 percentage points (from around 1.5 per cent to around 1.4 per cent), whereas the Pillar 2 guidance (P2G) was unchanged at 0.5 per cent. The decision was effective as of 30 September 2026. SEB’s latest share buyback programme amounting to SEK 1.25bn was completed on 20 October 2026. In light of continued loan growth in combination with the capital impact from the Swedish FSA’s decision, the bank will pause share buybacks. SEB’s target is to have a buffer of 100 to 300 basis points above the regulatory capital requirement. The buffer shall cover sensitivity to currency fluctuations in REA, changes in the net value of the Swedish defined benefit pension plan as well as general macroeconomic uncertainties. At the end of the third quarter of 2026, the buffer amounted to around 250 basis points (250). SEB’s leverage ratio was 5.1 per cent at the end of the quarter (5.1), whereas the leverage ratio requirement, including P2G, was 3.15 per cent (3.15).

SEB quarterly report – Third quarter 2026 12 Events after the balance sheet date Johan Torgeby resigned as President and CEO of SEB On 6 October 2026, Johan Torgeby resigned as President and CEO of SEB and stepped down from the Board of Directors, with effect from the same date. The Board appointed Deputy President and CEO Jonas Ahlström as acting President and CEO and initiated the recruitment process for a new President and CEO. Supervisory review of SEB’s internal ratings-based models On 14 October 2026, the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority published its decision following a supervisory review of SEB’s internal ratings-based (IRB) models 1. The review concerns regulatory compliance and not the adequacy of the bank’s capital relative to its risks. The decision implies a temporary higher capital requirement and a supervisory methodological change relating to a shift from using Pillar 2 measures to using Pillar 1 measures for deficiencies in IRB models. The higher capital requirement will apply from 31 December 2026 and will remain in place until the relevant model approvals have been obtained. SEB expects to start submitting new IRB model applications in the third quarter of 2027 at the latest and the outcome on REA is subject to regulatory model approval. 1 For further information, see SEB’s press releases on sebgroup.com. US supervisory matter On 15 October 2026, SEB reached a final resolution with the New York State Department of Financial Services (DFS), under which SEB will pay a total amount of USD 33 million to the authority. The cost will be recognised as an operating expense in the fourth quarter of 2026. The matter relates to the former procedures and processes for customer due diligence and transaction monitoring in SEB’s Baltic operations during the period 2015–2019. The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has also concluded its review without taking any action. With this, the U.S. matters relating to the bank’s historical anti-money laundering measures have been concluded.

SEB quarterly report – Third quarter 2026 13 Other information The Group’s long-term financial targets The long-term financial targets are unchanged in the business plan 2025-2027. With the overall purpose of increasing capital management flexibility, the Board of Directors’ long-term financial targets are: — to pay a yearly dividend that is around 50 per cent of the earnings per share, excluding items affecting comparability, and to distribute potential capital in excess of the targeted capital position mainly through share repurchases, — to maintain a Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 100–300 basis points above the requirement from the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (FSA), and — to generate a return on equity that is competitive with peers. In the long term, SEB aspires to reach a sustainable return on equity of 15 per cent. 2030 Strategy, business plan 2025-2027 and cost target 2026 The 2025-2027 business plan continues to execute on the vision set out in our 2030 Strategy – to be a leading corporate and investment bank in Northern Europe with international reach. Within business and retail banking in Sweden and the Baltic countries, we aim to be the number one universal digital retail bank, with a human contact in moments that matter. We want to be individuals’ and family offices’ first choice to support their wealth accumulation through a continued expansion of products and services. The emphasis in this business plan is on areas where SEB has significant earnings potential. Efforts will centre around two main goals: business growth and technology and efficiency. Business growth: An integral part of the 2030 Strategy is to capture the long-term growth potential in our wealth and asset management business. We aim to grow our corporate franchise by focusing on increasing the share of wallet with existing clients in the Nordic countries and to selectively expand corporate banking in our home markets outside the Nordic countries. Within our retail business, we will focus on future-proofing and growing the business, within prioritised segments. Integrating and realising synergies from the acquisition of AirPlus will also be a key focus area. Technology and efficiency: The focus within technology is a continued modernisation of the technology stack and to accelerate the implementation of new technologies. Efforts will also target faster adoption of new technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI). 2026 cost target For 2026, we have a cost target of SEK 33.4bn ± SEK 0.25bn, assuming average 2025 foreign exchange rates. With average foreign exchange rates during 2026, and using quarter-end foreign exchange rates for the rest of the year, the cost target is updated to SEK 33.4bn (33.3bn) ± 0.25bn. We continue to manage costs diligently and as a result of the ongoing cost consolidation, we expect to come in below the full year cost target by approximately SEK 500-600m. The cost target enables continued investments in our capabilities while we maintain a strong focus on consolidation and efficiencies. The long-term aim remains unchanged: to create shareholder value by accelerating income growth, driving earnings per share growth, increasing our profitability and future-proofing the business. Returning to a state of income growth exceeding cost growth is a key financial priority. Financial aspirations for the divisions The long-term divisional aspirations for profitability (return on business equity) are set mainly based on two factors. Firstly, each division will have the ambition to achieve best-in-class profitability compared with similar businesses among relevant peers. Secondly, each division’s aspirations are set so that they enable SEB to achieve its long-term aspiration of a 15 per cent return on equity at Group level. The following table provides the aspirations for each of the divisions in SEB’s organisational structure. Impact from foreign exchange rate fluctuations during the quarter The currency effect increased operating profit for the third quarter by SEK 87m. Loans to the public increased by SEK 36bn and deposits from the public increased by SEK 36bn. The currency effect increased credit risk REA by SEK 27bn and total assets by SEK 66bn. Share buyback programmes SEB completed its most recent share buyback programme on 20 October 2026, having repurchased shares for a total of SEK 1.25bn during the period from 16 July 2026 to 20 October 2026. Share buyback programmes 2021-October 2026 Agreement to divest SEB’s holding in Euroclear In the second quarter 2026, SEB agreed to divest its 3.1 per cent stake in Euroclear Group’s Belgian parent company, Euroclear Holding SA/NV (“Euroclear”). In the third quarter, the value of the holding increased by EUR 36m related to the divestment. In the beginning of the fourth quarter, the terms of the divestment were further enhanced, beyond the EUR 356m price that was signed in the second quarter. The completion of the transaction is expected during the first half of 2027 with a positive CET1 ratio effect of around 10 basis points.

SEB quarterly report – Third quarter 2026 15 Corporate & Investment Banking The Corporate & Investment Banking division serves large corporate, mid corporate and institutional clients with a broad range of commercial and investment banking services. The division is organised into Global Banking, Investment Banking, Transaction & Securities Services and FICC Markets. Home markets are the Nordic countries, Germany and the United Kingdom, while Switzerland, Austria and the Netherlands are served with a selective approach. Clients are also supported through SEB’s international network. Income statement The third quarter • Operating profit amounted to SEK 3,613m and return on business equity was 10.9 per cent • Solid net interest income with broad-based credit growth, and record-high net fee and commission income for a third quarter, with Equities delivering its best third- quarter result to date • FICC Markets activity was affected by challenging market-making conditions Business development In the third quarter, the slower summer months were followed by significant market volatility, with substantial repricing of both central bank rate expectations and long-term market rates, alongside notable moves in sovereign spread differentials. Within Global Banking, activity among large corporate clients was relatively muted during the quarter, partly reflecting seasonal effects. Credit demand was healthy among mid corporates, while large corporate clients focused mainly on refinancing, as their strong balance sheets reduced the need for new financing. Among financial institutions, transaction activity remained resilient, supported by interest in private capital and alternative assets. Cash management activity remained high, reflecting SEB’s strategic focus on expanding and deepening house-bank relationships with Nordic corporates and financial institutions and becoming their strategic partner of choice. The Financial Sponsor Group was established as a business unit within Investment Banking to further enhance the strategic focus on financial sponsors, alternative investment fund managers and infrastructure asset managers, with the aim of capturing structural growth in private capital. During the quarter, investment banking activity showed resilience, but reflected the typical summer slowdown following an active second quarter. Client activity was solid across most business units. Equities delivered its best third- quarter result, supported by higher business volumes. The positive momentum in the institutional equities business continued. SEB ranked second in the Nordic Equity Prospera survey, improving its score for the fourth consecutive year. Corporate Finance was affected by the seasonal slowdown.

SEB quarterly report – Third quarter 2026 16 continued to be supported by strong investor liquidity. Credit demand from financial sponsors was robust, driven by both new lending and refinancing. In FICC Markets, activity was affected by the challenging market- making conditions, including significant market volatility and uncertainty about the outlook for central bank policy. Fixed Income was particularly affected by these conditions, contributing to more cautious investor behaviour and lower overall client activity. In Foreign Exchange, higher interest rates reduced the need for client hedging. Commodities were adversely affected by volatile oil and energy prices and rapidly changing correlations between assets, which made clients cautious. Lending volumes increased by SEK 38bn to SEK 858bn, driven by growth across business areas and a positive currency effect of SEK 17bn. Deposit volumes decreased by SEK 52bn to SEK 876bn, reflecting expected reversals of some event-driven deposits which were highlighted in the previous quarter. Assets under custody increased to SEK 22,798bn (22,372), driven by higher asset values and growth in existing client portfolios. Financial performance Operating profit decreased by 15 per cent to SEK 3,613m, mainly due to lower net financial income. Net interest income increased by 6 per cent, primarily driven by higher lending volumes. Net fee and commission income decreased by 23 per cent, reflecting the seasonal slowdown and a strong second-quarter comparison in Investment Banking. Compared with the corresponding quarter last year, net fee and commission income increased by 3 per cent. Net financial income decreased by 55 per cent, mainly due to lower client-related income and a challenging market environment for market-making in FICC. Net expected credit losses amounted to SEK 196m, corresponding to a net ECL level of 5 basis points.

SEB quarterly report – Third quarter 2026 17 Business & Retail Banking The division offers full banking and advisory services to private individuals and small and medium-sized corporate customers in Sweden, as well as corporate payment services in Europe. The division also provides Private Banking services to affluent individuals in Sweden. Income statement The third quarter • Operating profit amounted to SEK 2,501m and return on business equity was 14.9 per cent • Strong growth in mortgage volumes and continued high inflow of mortgage applications • Legal merger of SEB Kort Group and AirPlus completed Business development Retail Sweden In Sweden, economic developments were mixed. Household consumption showed signs of recovery, with a positive outlook ahead. Mortgage market growth accelerated, supported by a more optimistic outlook and eased mortgage rules earlier in the year. Small and medium-sized corporates remained cautious, awaiting a broader economic recovery. AI-enabled solutions continued to improve both customer and employee experiences, supporting advisors with customer insights and credit processes. Continued improvements to digital services, particularly within savings and everyday banking, further enhanced the customer experience. Customer satisfaction with in-person meetings and telephone interactions remained high in both the private and corporate segments. The digital customer experience improved. Continuing to strengthen customer relationships through digital channels remains a priority. In the private customer segment, mortgage lending activity and application volumes increased during the quarter. Mortgage loans grew by SEK 8bn to SEK 577bn (569), and SEB maintained its market share of 13 per cent, reflecting improved net inflows and a relative gain in market share on a rolling three-month basis. Household deposits decreased by SEK 3bn, primarily due to seasonal effects, to SEK 259bn. Mortgage margins remained at historically low levels amid competitive market conditions.

The consumer segment increased by 3 per cent, in line with seasonal patterns, while compared with the third quarter 2025, consumer turnover increased by 8 per cent due to new customer acquisitions.

The integration of AirPlus continued according to plan and the legal merger of SEB Kort Bank AB and AirPlus International GmbH took place on 3 August 2026. Card-related lending increased to SEK 33bn (31). Financial performance Operating profit increased by 6 per cent to SEK 2,501m, mainly driven by higher net interest income, lower operating expenses and reversals of net expected credit losses, reflecting robust asset quality. Net interest income increased by 3 per cent compared with the previous quarter, mainly due to private lending growth and higher lending margins. Net fee and commission income decreased by 2 per cent, mainly driven by seasonally lower card-related fees mitigated by higher fund commissions related to increased assets under management. Operating expenses decreased by 4 per cent, mainly due to lower integration costs related to the integration of AirPlus. Net expected credit losses were positive, partly reflecting reversals of provisions and a release of portfolio overlays.

SEB quarterly report – Third quarter 2026 19 Wealth & Asset Management The division serves a wide range of customers with products and services through three business areas: Private Wealth Management & Family Office, Asset Management and Life. In addition, the newly established product area Investments & Trading Solutions is responsible for the digital client interface, product development, investment advice processes, and client reporting. The products and services are distributed by the Wealth & Asset Management division, the Business & Retail Banking and the Baltic divisions as well as by third-party distributors. Income statement The third quarter • Operating profit amounted to SEK 1,548m and return on business equity was 35.6 per cent • SEB ranked as #1 External Asset Manager in the Nordics in Prospera survey • SEB Technology fund selected for Swedish premium pension platform – in total nine SEB funds selected by Swedish Fund Selection Agency Business development On the back of strong equity markets, assets under management increased by SEK 88bn to an all-time high of SEK 3,157bn (3,069). Net flows amounted to SEK 0.3bn (11), of which SEK 1.6bn was generated from Business & Retail Banking and SEK 1.4bn from Wealth & Asset Management. The Baltic division reported SEK -2.7bn, mainly due to the pension reform in Lithuania which impacted net flows with SEK -2.5bn. Asset Management SEB Asset Management was ranked as #1 External Asset Manager in the Nordics in a Prospera survey for the fifth year in a row. The quality of SEB’s investment management was again recognised when SEB Technology fund was selected in the fund procurement of technology funds for the Swedish premium pension platform. So far, nine SEB funds have been procured by the Swedish Fund Selection Agency under the new regulations. Investment performance improved further, with 52 per cent of assets under management outperforming their benchmarks. Third-party distribution continued to grow in the quarter, with net flows of SEK 2.1bn, but was offset by outflows of a few larger institutional clients, resulting in net flows of SEK -0.7bn.

SEB quarterly report – Third quarter 2026 20 Life Life reported net flows of SEK -0.4bn, excluding the effect from the pension reform in Lithuania. Weighted sales volumes decreased by 15 per cent to SEK 15.4bn due to seasonal variations and grew by 6 per cent compared with last year. The Swedish market share based on weighted sales remained stable at 9.6 per cent. Private Wealth Management & Family Office Private Wealth Management & Family Office continued to grow with net flows of SEK 2.6bn. Lending volumes grew by SEK 3.6bn to SEK 105bn (101) and deposit volumes grew by SEK 4.8bn to SEK 147bn (142). Client activity remained high and the investment performance of discretionary mandates was strong, with 73 per cent of assets under management above benchmark. Financial performance Operating income amounted to SEK 2,972m, an increase of 5 per cent. The increase was mainly driven by net fee and commission income, which increased by 8 per cent to SEK 2,054m (1,907) driven by higher assets under management, client activity and stable margins. Net interest income increased to SEK 575m (548) driven mainly by increased lending volumes. Net financial income decreased by 13 per cent to SEK 328m (377) due to increased interest rates that negatively impacted the insurance result and lower income from the management of the own equity holdings in Life. Operating expenses remained stable at SEK 1,393m.

SEB quarterly report – Third quarter 2026 21 Baltic The division provides full retail banking and advisory services to private individuals and small and medium-sized companies, and advisory- driven corporate banking services to larger corporate customers, in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Income statement The third quarter • Operating profit amounted to SEK 1,941m and return on business equity was 19.3 per cent • Strong lending growth, supported by household demand and corporate investment activity • Launched an AI-powered voicebot for blocking cards and internet banking access, reducing customer wait times Business development Economic conditions in the Baltics remained broadly stable, although rising energy prices once again became a key concern, and inflation in Lithuania increased to over 5 per cent, while remaining somewhat lower in Latvia and Estonia. Despite this, wage and household income growth continued to outpace inflation, supporting consumer purchasing power. This sentiment, together with public-sector spending, contributed to increased lending volumes in all countries and segments. During the quarter, an AI-powered voicebot was launched across the Baltic contact centres, enabling customers to block their cards and internet banking access without human support. Improved consumer confidence reflected resilient household sentiment supported by retail sales data. In Lithuania, household spending continued to benefit from withdrawals from Pillar 2 pension funds, which contributed to strong growth in household deposits in local currency in the second quarter, but remained flat in the third quarter. Deposit volumes in Latvia and Estonia increased by 1 per cent in local currency. With labour market conditions remaining favourable and registered unemployment relatively low, housing market activity remained robust, supported by healthy new mortgage sales across the region. Mortgage lending grew by 2 per cent in local currency in the quarter. Business sentiment remained resilient despite the higher energy prices and manufacturing continued to perform, especially in Latvia. EU funding as well as higher spending on defence and energy infrastructure increased investment activity in Latvia and Lithuania. Corporate lending remained strong, supported by solid investment activity and demand for working capital, reflecting a 3 per cent increase to corporate and government customers in local currency. Deposit volumes from corporate and government customers decreased by 1 per cent in local currency.

SEB quarterly report – Third quarter 2026 22 assets under management amounted to SEK -2.7bn (-13.0) during the third quarter, reflecting the second wave of payouts as part of the Pillar 2 pension scheme reform. Financial performance Operating profit decreased by 3 per cent to SEK 1,941m, due to higher imposed levies and net expected credit losses. Profit before credit losses and imposed levies increased by 6 per cent driven by healthy net interest income development. Net interest income increased by 8 per cent in local currency, supported by higher average lending and deposit volumes, a positive day count effect, and effects from the rising Euro base rate. Net fee and commission income decreased by 3 per cent in local currency, mainly driven by lower card-related income due to seasonality, lower lending fees and the effect of the Pillar 2 pension reform in Lithuania. Net financial income decreased by 25 per cent in local currency, reflecting mainly lower revaluation effects in the liquidity portfolio and banking book, somewhat offset by increased activity in capital markets. Operating expenses increased by 4 per cent in local currency, driven by higher staff costs and costs associated with the progressing legal merger of SEB’s three Baltic subsidiaries. Imposed levies increased by SEK 96m, mainly due to a partial refund from the prior year’s Latvian solidarity contribution levy in the previous quarter. Net expected credit losses amounted to SEK 21m or 3 basis points.

The accounting also follows the Annual Accounts Act for Credit Institutions and Securities Companies (1995:1559) and the regulation and general guidelines issued by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority: Annual Reports in Credit Institutions and Securities Companies (FFFS 2008:25). In addition, the Supplementary Accounting Rules for Groups (RFR 1) from the Swedish Corporate Reporting Board have been applied. The parent company has prepared its accounts in accordance with Swedish Annual Act for Credit Institutions and Securities Companies, the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority’s Regulations and General Guidelines (FFFS 2008:25) on Annual Reports in Credit Institutions and Securities Companies and the Supplementary Accounting Rules for Legal Entities (RFR 2) issued by the Swedish Corporate Reporting Board. SEB has restated comparative figures for the years 2024 and 2025 to reflect amended segment information, and presentation changes in the income statement for the year 2025. SEB has revised the presentation of interest accruals on derivatives that economically hedge banking book items. From 2026, these accruals are reported in net interest income instead of net financial income, to better reflect banking margin performance. In addition, interest income and expense from derivatives in hedge accounting relationships are presented in net interest income and now aligned with the presentation of the hedged item under the effective interest rate method. The move of mid-corporate clients from Business & Retail Banking to Corporate & Investment Banking has resulted in a restatement of both divisions. The restatements do not affect SEB’s net profit or equity for these years.

The contribution will levy at a rate of 60 per cent on surplus net interest income (calculated according to a specific formula), and is planned to apply from 2025 to 2027. In May 2023, Lithuania established a temporary (two years) solidarity contribution for credit institutions, the reason being the increase in banks’ net interest income when central banks raised interest rates. Lithuania decided to prolong the temporary solidarity contribution for the year 2025. The contribution was levied at a rate of 60 per cent on surplus net interest income (calculated according to a specific formula) and new sales were deductible. Starting from 31 October 2025, the Swedish Riksbank introduced a requirement for banks to hold interest-free deposits with the central bank. The size of the deposit will be revalued annually. The net present value of the implicit interest income for the deposit is recognised as an expense when the Riksbank receives the interest-free deposit. The required interest-free deposits from SEB amounts to SEK 6.3bn (7.6). Other imposed levies relates to United Kingdom, Bank of England levy. Q2 Q3 Jan-Sep In January, 2022, Sweden introduced a risk tax that applies to large credit institutions. For the financial year 2026, the tax applies to Swedish credit institutions with liabilities of more than SEK 197bn (group threshold). Effective from 1st January, 2026, the Swedish risk tax was changed to include a basic tax-free allowance (that equals the threshold amount). At the same time, the tax rate was increased to 7 basis points for 2026 and onwards. The tax base for SEB is calculated on its opening balance of liabilities, excluding subordinated debts, untaxed reserves and provisions, including branches and SEB Kort, and reduced with a basic tax-free allowance. The resolution fee is based on 5 basis points until the resolution reserve in total meets 3 per cent of guaranteed deposits. The fee is based on total liabilities for the Parent company with the exception of guaranteed deposits and some other liabilities, then multiplied with a risk conversion factor.

Fair value measurement Fair value is generally measured for individual financial instruments, in addition portfolio adjustments are made to cover the credit risk. To reflect counterparty risk and own credit risk in OTC derivatives, adjustments are made based on the net exposure towards each counterpart. These adjustments are calculated on a counterparty level based on estimates of exposure at default, probability of default and recovery rates. Probability of default and recovery rate information is generally sourced from the CDS markets. For counterparties where this information is not available, or considered unreliable due to the nature of the exposure, alternative approaches are taken where the probability of default is based on generic credit indices for specific industry and/or rating. When valuing financial liabilities at fair value SEB's own credit standing is reflected. An active market is one in which transactions occur with sufficient volume and frequency to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The objective is to arrive at a price at which a transaction without modification or repackaging would occur in the principal market for the instrument to which SEB has immediate access. 30 Sep 2026 31 Dec 2025 The objective of the fair value measurement is to arrive at the price at which an orderly transaction would take place between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The group has established a valuation process and a control environment to determine the fair values of financial instruments, which includes an independent review, separate from the business, of valuation models and prices. Deviations that are material or of a fundamental nature require approval from the GRC (Group Risk Committee). In order to arrive at the fair value of a financial instrument SEB uses different methods; quoted prices in active markets, valuation techniques incorporating observable data and valuation techniques based on internal models. For disclosure purposes, financial instruments carried at fair value are classified in a fair value hierarchy according to the level of market observability of the inputs. The valuation process is the same for financial instruments in all levels.

Level 3 valuation techniques incorporate significant inputs that are unobservable. These techniques are generally based on extrapolating from observable inputs for similar instruments, analysing historical data or other analytical techniques. Examples of Level 3 financial instruments are more complex OTC derivatives, long dated options for which the volatility is extrapolated or derivatives that depend on an unobservable correlation. Other examples are instruments for which there is currently no active market or binding quotes, such as unlisted equity instruments, private equity holdings and investment properties. If the fair value of financial instruments includes more than one unobservable input, the unobservable inputs are aggregated in order to determine the classification of the entire instrument. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a financial instrument is classified is determined on the basis of the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value in its entirety. Transfers between levels may occur when there are indications that market conditions have changed, e.g. a change in liquidity. The Valuation / Pricing committee of each relevant division decides on material shifts between levels. The largest open market risk within Level 3 financial instruments remains in the traditional life insurance investment portfolios within the insurance business. Valuations in Level 1 are determined by reference to unadjusted quoted market prices for identical instruments in active markets where the quoted prices are readily available and the prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm ’s length basis. Examples of Level 1 financial instruments are listed equity securities, debt securities, and exchange-traded derivatives. Instruments traded in an active market for which one or more market participants provide a binding price quotation on the balance sheet date are also examples of Level 1 financial instruments. In Level 2 valuation techniques, all significant inputs to the valuation models are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 2 valuation techniques include using discounted cash flows, option pricing models, recent transactions and the price of another instrument that is substantially the same. Examples of observable inputs are foreign currency exchange rates, binding securities price quotations, market interest rates, volatilities implied from observable option prices for the same term and actual transactions with one or more external counterparts executed by SEB. An input can transfer from being observable to being unobservable during the holding period due to e.g. illiquidity of the instrument. Examples of Level 2 financial instruments are most OTC derivatives such as options and interest rate swaps based on the SOFR swap rate or a foreign-denominated yield curve. Other examples are instruments for which SEB recently entered into transactions with third parties and instruments for which SEB interpolates between observable variables.

The sensitivity to unobservable inputs is assessed by altering the assumptions to the valuation techniques, illustrated below by changes in index-linked swap spreads, implied volatilities, credit spreads or comparator multiples. It is unlikely that all unobservable inputs would be simultaneously at the extremes of their ranges of reasonably possible alternatives. Further details about SEB's fair value measurement can be found in note G34 in the Annual Report 2025. ⁷⁾ The sensitivity show changes in the value of the traditional insurance which do not at all times affect the P /L of the group since any surplus in the traditional life portfolios are consumed first. 30 Sep 2026 31 Dec 2025 ¹⁾ Volatility valuation inputs for Bermudan swaptions are unobservable. Volatilities used for ordinary swaptions are adjusted further in order to reflect the additional uncertainty associated with the valuation of Bermudan style swaptions. The sensitivity is calculated from shift in implied volatilities and aggregated from each currency and maturity bucket. ²⁾ Valuation is estimated in a range of reasonable outcomes. Sensitivity analysis is based on 20 per cent shift in market values. ³⁾ Sensitivity for debt securities is generally quantified as shift in market values of 5 per cent except for credit opportunity 10 per cent and for distressed debt and structured credits 15 per cent. ⁴⁾ Shift in implied volatility by 10 per cent. ⁵⁾ Sensitivity analysis is based on a shift in market values of hedge funds 5 per cent, private equity of 20 per cent, structured credits 1 5 per cent. ⁶⁾ Sensitivity from a shift of real estate funds market values of 10 per cent and infrastructure/infrastructure funds market values of 20 per cent.

SEB quarterly report – Third quarter 2026 38 Note 11. Exposure and expected credit loss (ECL) allowances by stage, cont. Development of exposures and ECL allowances by stage In the quarter, Stage 1 exposures, gross, increased to SEK 3,240bn (3,106), driven primarily by underlying corporate volume growth and currency effects. ECL allowances in Stage 1 decreased to SEK 1.0bn (1.1), due to a release and reallocation of portfolio model overlays. Stage 2 exposures, gross, decreased to SEK 93bn (104), due to risk migration in the household segment from Stage 2 to Stage 1. Stage 2 ECL allowances increased to SEK 1.4bn (1.3), due to the risk migration and reallocation of portfolio model overlays. Stage 3 exposures, gross, remained in line with the previous quarter at SEK 12.5bn (12.5). The Stage 3 ECL allowances amounted to SEK 4.9bn (5.1). The share of Stage 3 loans, gross, decreased to 0.51 per cent (0.54). Total ECL allowances amounted to SEK 7.3bn (7.5), of which SEK 0.8bn (0.8) in portfolio model overlays. The decrease in ECL allowances was driven by write-offs against reserves, reversals and a release of model overlays, which were partly offset by new provisions and currency effects. 30 Sep 30 Jun 31 Dec SEK m 2026 2026 2025 Total Loans¹⁾²⁾³⁾ 2 323 774 2 253 837 2 106 400 Debt securities 12 578 11 126 11 150 Financial guarantees and Loan commitments 1 009 364 957 176 896 680 Gross carrying amounts/Nominal amounts 3 345 715 3 222 139 3 014 230 Loans¹⁾²⁾³⁾ -6 760 -6 951 -6 097 Debt securities -0 -0 -0 Financial guarantees and Loan commitments -550 -511 -696 ECL allowances -7 310 -7 463 -6 793 Loans¹⁾²⁾³⁾ 2 317 014 2 246 885 2 100 303 Debt securities 12 578 11 126 11 150 Financial guarantees and Loan commitments 1 008 814 956 664 895 984 Carrying amounts/Net amounts 3 338 406 3 214 676 3 007 437 ECL coverage ratio, loans, % 0.29 0.31 0.29 ECL coverage ratio, total exposure, % 0.22 0.23 0.23 ¹⁾ Including trade and client receivables presented as other assets. ²⁾ Whereof gross carrying amounts SEK 2,279m (2,284; 1,809) and ECL allowances SEK 4m (4; 4) under Lifetime ECLs -simplified approach for trade receivables. ³⁾ Whereof gross carrying amounts SEK 1,269m (335; 161) and ECL allowances SEK 466m (247; 132) for Purchased or Originated Credit Impaired loans.

SEB quarterly report – Third quarter 2026 39 Note 11. Exposure and expected credit loss (ECL) allowances by stage, cont. Key macroeconomic assumptions for calculating ECL allowances Macroeconomic forecasts made by SEB’s economic research department are used as the basis for the forward-looking information incorporated in the ECL measurement. Three scenarios – base, positive and negative – and their probability weightings are reviewed every quarter, or more frequently when appropriate due to rapid or significant changes in the economic environment. Compared with the previous quarter, macroeconomic growth forecasts were cautiously revised upwards. The base scenario assumes that global growth will remain resilient despite continued geopolitical uncertainty and trade policy frictions. The impact of US tariffs has been less severe than initially feared, while expansionary fiscal policy, including infrastructure and defence spending, is expected to moderate. In the euro area and the Nordic countries, the recovery is gradually gaining momentum, supported by rising real household incomes and improving domestic demand, while manufacturing activity remains weak. Global GDP is expected to grow by around 3 per cent per year over 2026–2027. The main macroeconomic assumptions in the base scenario are shown in the table below. Downside risks in the negative scenario are mainly linked to high uncertainty around several conflict zones and political decisions, including the Middle East conflict and the impact on oil prices as well as trade policies. A more prolonged war in the Persian Gulf and depletion of oil reserves or a worsening conflict through the destruction of production capacity, a sharp increase in energy prices and higher interest rates could rapidly weaken global growth prospects and create negative spillover effects to other areas, including AI investments. This could also trigger a major repricing of financial markets and amplify the negative shock. In a positive scenario, lower energy prices and a calmer global environment could release household and corporate spending and investment. Also, positive effects of aspects such as infrastructure investments and AI-driven productivity gains could be underestimated. A further description of the scenarios is available in the Nordic Outlook report published in August 2026. The probability of the base scenario was raised to 60 per cent (55), while the probability for the negative scenario was lowered to 25 per cent (30). The probability for the positive scenario was maintained at 15 per cent (15). The update of the macroeconomic scenarios described above resulted in a small decrease in ECL allowances in the quarter. Should the positive and negative macroeconomic scenarios be assigned 100 per cent probability, the model-calculated ECL allowances would decrease by 3 per cent and increase by 4 per cent, respectively, compared with the probability-weighted calculation. Expert credit judgement SEB uses models and expert credit judgement (ECJ) for calculating ECL allowances. The degree of expert credit judgement depends on model outcome, materiality and information available. ECJ may be applied to incorporate factors not captured by the models, either at counterparty or portfolio level. Model overlays at portfolio level have been made using ECJ. In the third quarter, the portfolio model overlays were reduced slightly to SEK 0.8bn (0.8). A reduction was made in the Business & Retail Banking division mainly due to a somewhat improved overall economic outlook. This was partly offset by a small increase in the Baltic division following lending growth. The portfolio model overlays mainly reflect the risks and uncertainty from continued geopolitical uncertainty and elevated energy and commodity prices, as well as changed market dynamics affecting certain structured finance-related portfolios including project and infrastructure. SEK 0.4bn (0.4) of the portfolio model overlays are related to the Corporate & Investment Banking division, SEK 0.1bn (0.2) to the Business & Retail Banking division and SEK 0.3bn (0.3) to the Baltic division. The portfolio model overlays are determined through top-down scenario analysis, including various scenarios of risk migration of complete portfolios. This is combined with bottom-up individual customer analysis of larger corporate customers as well as analysis and stress tests of sectors specifically exposed to economic distress. The portfolio model overlays are re-evaluated quarterly in connection with the assessment of ECL allowances. SEB’s measurement of ECL allowances and related assumptions according to IFRS 9 can be found in notes G1 and G17 in SEB’s Annual Report 2025.

Average risk-weight The following table summarises average risk-weights (risk exposure amount divided by exposure at default (EAD)) for exposures, where the risk exposure amount is calculated according to the internal ratings-based (IRB) approach. Repos and securities lending transactions are excluded from the analysis, since they carry low risk-weights, and can vary considerably in volume, thus making numbers less comparable.

SEB quarterly report – Third quarter 2026 53 Signature of the President The President declares that this financial report for the period from 1 January 2026 through 30 September 2026 provides a fair overview of the parent company’s and the Group’s operations, their financial position and results and describes material risks and uncertainties facing the parent company and the Group. Stockholm 22 October 2026 Jonas Ahlström Acting President and Chief Executive Officer THIS IS A TRANSLATION FROM THE SWEDISH ORIGINAL Review report To the Board of Directors in Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ), org.nr 502032-9081 Introduction We have reviewed the condensed financial report for Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ) as of September 30, 2026 and for the nine- month period then ended, which can be found on pages 5-12 and 14-52 in this document, containing income statement, statement of comprehensive income, balance sheet, statement of changes in equity, statement of cash flow, notes and other condensed information in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act for Credit Institutions and Securities Companies. The Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act for Credit Institutions and Securities Companies. 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 International Standard on Review Engagements, ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Statements 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 differs from and is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing 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 condensed financial report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act for Credit Institutions and Securities Companies regarding the Group, and in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act for Credit Institutions and Securities Companies regarding the Parent Company.
