CEO comment: Closing the year from a position of strength

We concluded a strong year with a solid fourth quarter, delivering revenue growth of 15% in the quarter and 12% for the full year. These results were achieved amid continued macroeconomic volatility, underscoring both the resilience of the capital markets and the strength and relevance of our platform.

M&A was the principal growth driver during both the quarter and the year, despite overall market volumes not increasing at the same pace. Within Equity Capital Markets (ECM), conditions improved and the IPO market reopened, particularly in Sweden. Transaction volumes in Debt Capital Markets (DCM) remained at all-time-high levels throughout the year and made a significant contribution to revenues. We are pleased to have maintained our strong position in the Nordic high-yield segment. Brokerage and Research continued to generate stable revenues at a high level throughout the year.

ABGSC Denmark delivered all-time-high revenues and will be further strengthened by the recent acquisition of FIH Partners, further fortifying ABGSC's position as a leading force in the Danish market. This transaction is fully aligned with our strategy of improving our position in our core markets and expanding the breadth of our service offering.

We continue to make progress toward our target operating margin of 25%. Excluding investments in new business initiatives, we would already be at this level. We remain confident in these investments, as the new initiatives are beginning to contribute to revenues and we see great traction with potential clients. Private Banking continued to attract new clients and surpassed SEK 1bn in committed capital in the fourth quarter.

Overall, we close the year from a position of strength, supported by a diversified earnings base across products, sectors, and geographies, improving profitability, and a clear strategic direction for continued growth.
