"Despite the underlying volume growth, we have seen a downward trend in
profitability over several quarters. We have already established a roadmap to
turn this trend, and are considering several measures to to improve
profitability across our products and markets. Important elements will be to
identify and drive actions to improve sales and margins, and a thorough review

Other important parts of this roadmap are measures for efficiency improvement
such as process optimisation, streamlining of structures and cost reduction
initiatives.

Komplett Bank has executed a set of strong actions to de-risk the balance sheet.
The risk in Komplett Bank is now significantly reduced and the Bank is solid.
This gives us the necessary comfort and we have started on setting the stage for
the further evolution of the Bank. We look forward to go deeper into our plans
