4 Comments from the president and CEO Report from the board of directors Results Net interest income Net interest income was NOK 202 million in the first quarter of This was NOK 173 million lower than for the same period in Gisèle Marchand, President and CEO (Photo: Sturlason) Eksportfinans entered 2013 well positioned. The company has good liquidity, a solid capital base, and loyal staff. Movements of key market risk factors in the debt portfolio during the first three months of 2013 have developed negatively, but within the scenarios covered in our liquidity planning activities. The liquidity calculations presented on page 7 of this report show that liquidity reserves together with cash inflows from the lending portfolio are expected to cover anticipated liquidity needs going forward. At the end of the first quarter of 2013, the core capital adequacy ratio is a strong 26.2 percent. Proceedings before the Tokyo District Court in the case against Silver Point Capital Fund LP and Silver Point Capital Offshore Master Fund LP began on February 1, Eksportfinans will submit its brief in the second quarter of this year. The company has been advised that the procedure before the Tokyo District Court might take a period of 24 months or more before a judgment is made on a case of this nature. The lower net interest income was caused by a combination of the lower level of interest generating assets together with reduced margins, especially related to basis swap contracts (swaps where two cashflow streams of money market floating rates of two different currencies are exchanged). The net return on average assets and liabilities (see highlights on page 4) was 0.47 percent for the first quarter of 2013, compared to 0.74 percent for the corresponding period in Profit/(loss) for the period Total comprehensive income in the first quarter of 2013 was negative NOK 1,118 million, compared to negative NOK 9,748 million in the first quarter of The negative figure is due to a reversal of unrealized gains on Eksportfinans own debt as a result of tightening of credit spreads. The improvement compared to first quarter of 2012 relates to lower reversal of unrealized gains. Return on equity was negative 27.3 percent for the first quarter of 2013, compared to negative percent for the corresponding period in This was also due to the debt-related unrealized losses. The non-ifrs measure of profit excluding unrealized gains and losses on financial instruments and realized losses hedged by the PHA (the Portfolio Hedge Agreement, see page 6), and the corresponding return on equity, is shown in the table on page 5. These calculations may be of interest to investors because they assess the performance of the underlying business operations without the volatility caused by fair value fluctuations, including specifically the reversal of previously recognized unrealized gains on Eksportfinans own debt, and the realized losses on First quarter report

5 investments which are hedged by the PHA. Profit excluding unrealized gains and losses and excluding realized losses hedged by the PHA amounted to NOK 124 million in the first quarter of This was a decrease of NOK 124 million compared to the same period in The main reason for this decrease is the reduced net interest income. Net other operating income Net other operating income was negative NOK 1,718 million for the first quarter of 2013 compared to negative NOK 13,875 million in the same period in The main reason for this significant change is the large fluctuation in the market prices of Eksportfinans own debt. These prices fell significantly following the decision by the Norwegian government on November 18, 2011 to establish a state-funded export financing scheme and the consequent rating downgrades of Eksportfinans. In 2012 and through the first quarter of 2013 the market prices of Eksportfinans debt have recovered significantly, leading to unrealized losses for the company. These market fluctuations have led to large changes in the fair value of Eksportfinans own debt. In the first quarter of 2013, unrealized losses (reversal of unrealized gains) on Eksportfinans own debt amounted to NOK 5,152 million compared to unrealized losses (reversal of unrealized gains) of NOK 22,131 million in the corresponding period in 2012 (see note 2 to the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements). Net of derivatives, this resulted in an unrealized loss of NOK 1,727 million in the first quarter of 2013 compared to an unrealized loss of NOK 14,149 million in the same period in 2012 (see note 15 to the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements). The cumulative unrealized gain on Eksportfinans own debt, net of derivatives, is NOK 14,315 million as of March 31, 2013, compared to NOK 15,962 million as of December 31, 2012 and NOK 27,921 million as of March 31, Total operating expenses Total operating expenses amounted to NOK 36 million in the first quarter of 2013, compared to NOK 52 million for the same period in The reason for this decrease is an optimized and reduced number of staff since July 1, 2012, contributing to a reduction in total salary expenses. The key ratio of net operating expenses in relation to average assets was 0.09 percent in the first quarter of 2013, compared to 0.05 percent in the corresponding period of Included in the figures for first quarter of 2012, is the income from the fee based agreement with the Ministry of Trade and Industry (the Ministry ) in which Eksportfinans had a mandate to arrange loans on behalf of the Ministry until July 1, 2012 (NOK 8.6 million per month). This fee was booked as other income, which is deducted from operating expenses when calculating the key ratio of net operating expenses relative to average assets (see footnote 4 to Highlights). First quarter (NOK million) C omprehensive income for the period in accordance with IFRS (1,118) (9,748) Net unrealized losses/(gains) 1,707 13,886 Unrealized gains/(losses) related to Iceland 1) 18 (3) Realized losses/(gains) hedged by the Porfolio Hedge Agreement 2) 0 0 Tax effect 3) (483) (3,887) Non-IFRS profit for the period excluding unrealized gains/(losses) on financial instruments and excluding realized losses/(gains) hedged by the PHA Return on equity based on profit for the period excluding unrealized gains/(losses) on financial instruments and excluding realized losses/(gains) hedged by the PHA 4) 7.2 % 16.3 % 1. Reversal of previously recognized loss (at exchange rates applicable at March 31, 2012). 2. Securities have been sold with realized gains/losses. These gains and losses are covered by the PHA, and will be settled according to that agreement. Eksportfinans therefore believes it is useful for investors to present this non-ifrs profit figure with such gains/losses excluded due to the economic arrangements under, and the accounting impacts of, the PHA percent of the items above. 4. Return on equity: Profit for the period/average equity adjusted for proposed not distributed dividends. First quarter report

6 Balance sheet Total assets amounted to NOK 148 billion at March 31, 2013, compared to NOK 157 billion at December 31, 2012 and NOK 188 billion at March 31, The reduction was mainly due to the limitations on new lending business since November 18, 2011 and repayments on the current loan and securities portfolios. Outstanding commercial paper and bond debt was NOK 107 billion at March 31, 2013, compared to NOK 113 billion at December 31, 2012 and NOK 129 billion at March 31, The main reason for the decrease was maturing debt. In January 2013 Eksportfinans, in accordance with market practice, exercised its right to call its GBP 50 million capital contribution securities, which were repaid at face value on February 19, The capital adequacy ratio was 29.1 percent at March 31, 2013, compared to 28.0 percent at December 31, 2012 and 21.2 percent at March 31, The core capital adequacy ratio was 26.2 percent at March 31, 2013, compared to 25.0 percent at December 31, 2012 and 18.0 percent at March 31, The increase in the capital adequacy ratios was mainly due to high core earnings combined with a lower riskweighted balance. Securities The total securities portfolio was NOK 37.7 billion at March 31, 2013, compared to NOK 41.8 billion at December 31, 2012 and NOK 44.4 billion at March 31, The securities portfolio consists of two different sub-portfolios. The first is subject to a Portfolio Hedge Agreement with Eksportfinans shareholders which has been in place since February 29, 2008 (the PHA portfolio ), and the second is maintained for the purpose of liquidity (referred to herein as the liquidity reserve portfolio ). The fair value of the PHA portfolio was NOK 9.6 billion at March 31, 2013, compared to NOK 11.6 billion at December 31, 2012 and NOK 20.7 billion at March 31, The PHA portfolio will largely be held to maturity. For further information on the PHA see Note 13 to the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements and the company s annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, (filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 23, 2013 ( the F )). The fair value of the liquidity reserve portfolio was NOK 28.1 billion at March 31, 2013, compared to NOK 30.2 billion at December 31, 2012 and NOK 23.7 billion at March 31, Export lending Funding Eksportfinans actively manages an extensive portfolio of export loans. The volume of outstanding export loans was NOK 73.3 billion at March 31, 2013, compared to NOK 78.7 billion at December 31, 2012 and NOK billion at March 31, Local government lending Eksportfinans total involvement in local government lending totaled NOK 8.3 billion at March 31, 2013, compared to NOK 8.8 billion at December 31, 2012 and NOK 10.1 billion at March 31, As foreseen, Eksportfinans did not have the need to seek new funding from the markets during the first quarter of Liquidity As at March 31, 2013, the company has liquidity reserves totaling NOK 45.7 billion, consisting of the liquidity reserve portfolio not pledged as security of NOK 26.7 billion, the part of the PHA portfolio that is not pledged as security of NOK 5.1 billion and cash equivalents of NOK 13.9 billion. The company manages liquidity risk both through matching maturities for assets and liabilities and through stress-testing for the short- and medium term. A maturity analysis of First quarter report

7 financial liabilities based on both contractual and expected maturities is included in note 16 of the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements. The table below shows cumulative liquidity, as measured by short-term liquidity as of March 31, 2013, plus (i) the amounts of maturing loans and investments and minus (ii) the amounts of maturing bond debt, based on estimated maturities. During the first quarter of 2013, the liquidity calculations have been affected by foreign exchange rate conversions and negative movements in key market risk factors, primarily on the debt portfolio. Market developments have been within the scenarios covered in our liquidity planning activities and liquidity reserves together with cash inflows from the lending portfolio are expected to cover anticipated liquidity needs going forward. For the figures in the table, call and trigger dates as estimated in models are applied in the classification of the maturities. For structured bond issues with call and trigger options, the expected maturity is estimated using a sophisticated valuation system. beyond December 31, 2012 for loans to five specific clients which would have been in breach of the regulations concerning the calculation of exposures to one single client from that date. The exemption periods are specific to each of the four loans remaining as per March 31, 2013, and last until the respective loan has reached the regulatory level, as a result of scheduled repayments of principal, between December 31, 2014 and December 31, The NFSA has also requested Eksportfinans to adapt to the statutory requirement as soon as possible to the extent it is able. Events after balance sheet date On April 30, 2013, Eksportfinans reached a settlement with Kommunal landspensjonskasse gjensidige forsikringsselskap (KLP) regarding the two court cases related to the sale of Kommunekreditt in The settlement value is within the accruals already made for this case in the accounts.

12 Notes to the accounts 1. Accounting policies Eksportfinans first quarter condensed interim financial statements have been presented in accordance with International Reporting Standards (IFRS), in line with both IFRS as adopted by the European Union (EU) and IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Reporting. The accounting policies and methods of computation applied in the preparation of these condensed interim financial statements (including information as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012) are the same as those applied in Eksportfinans annual financial statements of 2012, except as noted below. Those financial statements were approved for issue by the Board of Directors on April 11, 2013 and included in the company s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year-end December 31, These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented. IFRS 13, Fair value measurement, has been applied as of January 1, The standard aims to improve consistency and reduce complexity by providing a precise definition of fair value and a single source of fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for use across IFRSs. The requirements do not extend the use of fair value accounting but provide guidance on how it should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards within IFRSs. The impact of the new requirements has not had a material impact on the company. IAS 19, Employee benefits, was amended in June 2011 and has been applied as of January 1, The impact on the company is as follows: to immediately recognize all actuarial gains or losses in other comprehensive income; to immediately recognize all past service costs; and to replace interest cost and expected return on plan assets with a net interest amount that is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability (asset). The amendment is applied retrospectively in the periods presented. The change in accounting principle has not had a material impact on the company's financial reporting. The information for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 is unaudited. 2.

Net interest income in the treasury department is allocated to the reportable segments based on volume for the margin, and risk weighted volume for the interest on equity. 2) Income/(expenses) directly attributable to each segment. 3) For Export lending the figures are related to unrealized gains/(losses) on the Icelandic bank exposure. In this context, the fair value adjustments on the Icelandic bank exposure have been treated as realized, as they are not expected to be reversed towards maturity, as other unrealized gains and losses. For Securities the figures are related to realized gains/(losses) on financial instruments. First quarter report

18 15. Market risk - effects from economic hedging Note 2 specifies the net realized and unrealized gains/losses on financial instruments, showing separately the gains/losses related to financial derivatives. When presented to the company s management and Board of Directors, the figures are prepared showing the various financial instruments after netting with related economic hedges, since derivatives are used as economic hedges of the market risk of specific assets and liabilities. The below table specifies net realized and unrealized gains/(losses) on financial instruments at fair value, netted with related economic hedges.

The 108 Agreement is accounted for at amortized cost, hence these derivatives are not included in the effects related to financial instruments at fair value. Interest, and the interest effect of economic hedging instruments, is classified as interest income or expense in the statement of comprehensive income. Changes in fair value are recorded in the line item Net gains/(losses) on financial instruments at fair value.

This implies that the structured bond debts with the corresponding derivatives matures earlier than what is expected based on market data as of the balance sheet date. See subsequent tables for maturity analysis based on expected maturities. For derivatives gross settled, pay leg represents the contractual cash flows to be paid by the company to the derivative counterparty while receive leg represents the contractual cash flows to be received from the derivative counterparty. The company manages its liquidity risk, inter alia, by monitoring the difference between expected maturities of its assets and liabilities. First quarter report
