Nordnet AB (publ) – interim report January-March 2024

Nordnet today publishes its interim report for the first quarter 2024. The full report is available at www.nordnetab.com

- From a financial perspective, we conclude the strongest quarter in Nordnet’s history. The combination of a consistently growing business, high activity among savers and a favorable macro climate resulted in an operating profit of SEK 884 million, a new all-time high. The SEK 1,263 million of revenue marks a new all-time high with strong growth across all business areas, says Lars-Åke Norling, CEO of Nordnet.

- The savers were influenced by the positive momentum in the stock market during the quarter with Nordnet’s customers making 13,4 million trades, which is an increase versus the previous quarter. The savings capital reached record level of SEK 905 million at the end of March. This number is a result of both rising markets and notably higher levels of net savings which amounted to almost SEK 19 billion in the quarter. To put that number into perspective we can look at Norway where our customers had a higher level of net savings this quarter than the entire year of 2023, says Lars-Åke Norling, CEO of Nordnet.

Highlights during the quarter

• A strong financial quarter with income and operating profit at new record highs and continued growth in all business areas.
• Positive net savings and good customer growth.
• Strong performance in the fund business with high net buying of Nordnet’s own funds.
• Continued growth in net interest income as a result of higher interest rates and loan growth.
• Good cost control – full-year expenses are expected to be in line with financial targets.
• Strong capital situation – AT1 capital repurchased and share buyback process is ongoing.
