Dear fellow shareholders,
During the third quarter, our adjusted net asset value grew by 2 percent. Total shareholder return was 8 percent, compared to 4 percent for the SIXRX return index.
Central banks started to raise interest rates in 2022 to accomplish a slowdown in economic activity and temper inflation. Today, recent macro data such as purchasing manager indices and consumer confidence surveys suggest they have broadly achieved this. Supported by lower inflation and weakening economic activity, several central banks cut interest rates during the quarter, and further cuts are expected. Over time, this should help take some pressure off consumers. In the meantime, several markets struggle, including large parts of Europe. In China, stimulus to accelerate the economic recovery has been announced.
The war in Ukraine continues and the situation in the Middle East risks escalating further. In addition, the outcome of the upcoming US Presidential election adds to the current uncertainty.
Amid all the unpredictability, one thing remains perfectly clear: competition is fierce, requiring our companies, and ourselves, to constantly focus on efficiency and agility. We must always evaluate how activities add value to the customers, and how to operate in the most efficient way. Here, AI-enabled software provides opportunities to work faster and smarter.
We support our companies to keep investing, especially in innovation, digitalization and sustainability, to future-proof their businesses. Organic, profitable growth remains the number one value driver over time. In addition, add-on acquisitions can bring aboard new products, technologies, customers and capabilities.
Listed Companies generated a total return of 1 percent, 3 percentage points behind the SIXRX.
Our companies proceeded with important future-proofing initiatives. SEB announced a new organization to deliver on its long-term strategy, further strengthening customer focus and enabling faster time to market. The board of Electrolux appointed Yannick Fierling as new CEO, effective January 1, 2025. Ericsson announced a joint venture with several of the world's largest telecom operators to develop, pool and sell network APIs globally.
As engaged owners, a key responsibility is to ensure that our companies have the best boards possible. To be able to leverage the full international competence pool to boards of Swedish listed companies, we want to increase board remuneration levels, aligning them with other countries.
Total return during the quarter was 3 percent, mainly driven by earnings growth, partly offset by the strengthened SEK.
Sales growth for the major subsidiaries amounted to 5 percent, of which 7 percent organically in constant currency. Adjusted EBITA grew 8 percent. Mölnlycke's organic sales growth was 9 percent, driven by all business areas and regions. The margin was stable.
For several companies, including Laborie and Mölnlycke, recently introduced products contributed significantly to growth.
Piab Group made two strategic add-on acquisitions, in China and the US respectively, expanding its presence in industries such as battery, additive manufacturing, semiconductor and aerospace. The acquisitions add around SEK 0.5bn in annual sales to Piab Group. The total value amounted to approximately SEK 1.9bn on a cashand debt-free basis, of which Piab Group financed SEK 0.7bn with cash and debt, and Patricia Industries the remaining part.
The reported value change of Investments in EQT amounted to 7 percent, driven by the strong share price performance of EQT AB, while the value of fund investments was flat. Net cash flow to Investor amounted to SEK 0.4bn.
We intend to invest in the EQT Asia BPEA Private Equity Fund IX, which provides exposure to attractive Asian markets. As previously communicated, since the listing of EQT AB, Investor can invest up to 3 percent in EQT funds on a carry-free basis.
The world around us is full of challenges, but also opportunities. With our relentless focus on performance, portfolio and people, I remain confident that Investor is in a great position to create long-term value. We keep our eyes on the horizon and our hands at the helm. Thank you for your trust.

The numbers below are based on the same accounting and valuation policies as used in the preparation of the company's most recent annual report. For information regarding financial instruments in level 2 and level 3, see Note 32, Financial instruments, in Investor's Annual report 2023.

All valuations in level 3 are based on assumptions and judgments that management considers to be reasonable based on the circumstances prevailing at the time. Changes in assumptions may result in adjustments to reported values and the actual outcome may differ from the estimates and judgments that were made. Shares and participations in level 3 are mainly fund investments within EQT. Unlisted holdings in funds are measured at Investor's share of the value that the fund manager reports for all unlisted fund holdings (Net Asset Value) and is normally updated when a new valuation is received. The value change on Investor's investments in EQT funds are reported with a one-quarter lag. Part of the unlisted portfolio is valued based on comparable companies, and the value is dependent on the level of the multiples. The multiple ranges provided in the note show the minimum and maximum value of the actual multiples applied in these valuations. A 10 percent change of the multiples would have an effect on this part of the unlisted portfolio of approximately SEK 90m (155). For the derivatives, a parallel shift of the interest rate curve by one percentage point would affect the value by approximately SEK 570m (600).
The table below indicates how fair value is measured for the financial instruments recognized at fair value in the Balance sheet. The financial instruments are presented in three categories, depending on how the fair value is measured: Level 1: According to quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments
Level 2: According to directly or indirectly observable inputs that are not included in level 1
Level 3: According to inputs that are unobservable in the market

| Valuation methodology | |
|---|---|
| Listed Companies | Share price (bid) for the class of shares held by Investor, with the exception of Saab, Electrolux and Electrolux Professional for which the most actively traded share class is used. Ownership calculated in accordance with the disclosure of regulations of Sweden's Financial Instruments Trading Act (LHF). ABB, AstraZeneca, Nasdaq and Wärtsilä in accordance with Swiss, British, U.S. and Finnish regulations. Includes market value of derivatives related to investments if applicable. |
| Patricia Industries | |
| Subsidiaries | Reported value based on the acquisition method. As supplementary information, subsidiaries are also presented at estimated market values, mainly based on valuation multiples for relevant listed peers and indices. Other methodologies may also be used, for example relating to real estate assets. New platform investments and major add-on acquisitions normally valued at invested amount during the first 18 months following the acquisition. |
| Partner-owned investments | Reported value based on the equity method. As supplementary information, partner-owned investments are also presented at estimated market values, mainly based on valuation multiples for relevant listed peers and indices. |
| Financial Investments | Unlisted holdings at multiple or third-party valuation, listed shares at share price (bid). |
| Investments in EQT | Unlisted holdings at multiple or third-party valuation, listed shares at share price (bid). |
| Supplementary information | In addition to reported values, which are in accordance with IFRS, Investor provides estimated market values for the wholly-owned subsidiaries and partner-owned investments within Patricia Industries in order to facilitate the evaluation of Investor's net asset value. This supplementary, non-GAAP information also increases the consistency between the valuation of Listed Companies and our major wholly-owned subsidiaries and partner-owned Tre Skandinavien. |
|---|---|
| Estimated market values | While the estimated market values might not necessarily reflect our view of the intrinsic values, they reflect how the stock market values similar companies. |
| Methodology | The estimated market values are mainly based on valuation multiples (median), typically Enterprise value (EV)/Last 12 months' operating profit, for relevant listed peers and indices. We define EV as quarterly volume weighted average share price (VWAP) plus closing date net debt. While we focus on EBITA when evaluating the performance of our companies, for valuation purposes, EBITDA multiples are more commonly available, and therefore often used. From the estimated EV, net debt is deducted, and the remaining equity value is multiplied with Patricia Industries' share of capital. |
| Adjustments | Operating profit is adjusted to reflect, for example, pro forma effects of completed add-on acquisitions and certain non-recurring items. An item is only viewed as non-recurring if it exceeds a certain amount set for each company, is unlikely to affect the company again, and does not result in any future benefit or cost. Acquisitions made less than 18 months ago are normally valued at cost. |
