CEO comment: Revenue momentum and operational leverage demonstrated, with Q3 revenue and EPS up 21% and 56%

Solid performances across all parts of the business made this the second-best Q3 to date. While continuing to support our investor clients with top-ranked research and brokerage services, ABGSC helped raise more than NOK 20bn in debt and equity during the quarter. This resulted in total revenues of NOK 476m, an increase of 21% on a strong Q3 last year.

ABGSC delivered robust results in an exceptionally strong debt capital market, including acting as joint bookrunner for European Entertainment Group's EUR 585m senior secured bond issue - a record transaction among non-rated bonds. Our M&A franchise also delivered a strong quarter, reinforcing our position as a trusted partner to our clients. We are furthermore encouraged to see equity capital market activity picking up substantially, particularly in Sweden, with Stockholm continuing to distinguish itself as Europe's leading listing venue. This underlines the region's depth and attractiveness for companies seeking access to public capital.

We are also very pleased with the early success of our newly launched Private Banking business. Despite only being operational for a few months, the response from clients has been extremely positive, with high levels of engagement and conversion from initial discussions to onboarding. This confirms our belief that wealth management and private banking advisory services will be a key area of growth for ABGSC in the years ahead.

Our strategic priorities remain clear. We are executing a focused growth strategy that combines the continued strengthening of our core business with the selective expansion into complementary areas. To support this strategy, we will continue to attract top junior talent and complement them with targeted senior hires. This will enhance our capabilities while maintaining a lean operating model. This disciplined approach enables us to deliver strong results today while investing in sustainable long-term growth.

With a strong quarter behind us and solid momentum across the business, we are confident that we can execute our strategy and continue to deliver value to our clients, shareholders, employees and partners.
