* As of January 1, 2024, EQT has, in accordance with IA\$ 8, changed accounting principles relating to carried interest, see Note 6. Adjusted Revenue is unchanged compared to prior periods
In the first half of 2024, EQT successfully closed several fundraisings, despite a challenging environment. We launched new strategies and further strengthened our private wealth platform. Investment activity continued at a good pace across strategies, and we are actively pursuing realizations, building on our strong track record of providing liquidity for our clients.
The first half of 2024 has been politically and economically volatile. More than half the world's population will go to the polls this year and while some central banks have begun to reduce interest rates, inflation has been stickier than most had expected.
This uncertainty has a knock-on effect on dealmaking, with exit volumes particularly impacted. Last year, exit volumes across private markets were the lowest in over a decade, and volumes remained low in the first half of 2024. We expect the fundraising market to gradually strengthen, as exit activity picks up and client liquidity improves.
We were very active on the exit front in 2020 and 2021. As a result, we have a relatively young portfolio and a strong track record of delivering liquidity to clients. We are refining our exit playbook, be it for private or public market transactions, as we leverage best practices across the platform and explore new exit alternatives such as "private IPOs".
This year we have completed multiple realizations after preparing well across sectors and geographies. In June, we announced the sale of the majority of EQT IX's stake in ldealista. Earlier this year we successfully completed two IPOs, Galderma and Waystar, building on our strong IPO track record and paving the way for continued capital markets activity. Guided by our exit and liquidity committee - which
systematically assesses these priorities - we are planning to further increase exit activity over the next 12 months, should markets remain conducive.
Investment activity is moving at a solid pace. Our global sector teams are working closely with local teams to source investments supported by our priority secular trends including the energy transition, digitalization of societies, and aging populations.
Financing is widely available, and we took advantage of strong credit markets in the first half of the year to further extend maturities across the portfolio and reduce interest expenses. We have also strengthened the capital structure in specific cases over the past year and our portfolio is robust from a financing perspective, with no material debt maturities before 2027.
EQT's key funds are all performing On or Above plan. Healthy operational performance contributed to predominantly higher fund valuations in the first half. However, pockets of underperformance pulled performance down somewhat in the earlier Private Capital vintages.
Since committing to the Science Based Target initiative in 2021, EQT has supported 44 portfolio companies in setting sciencebased targets. Whilst the portfolio continuously evolves, this represents a portfolio coverage of 57% of the invested capital.

We are also actively working to enhance the portfolio companies' artificial intelligence literacy, with Al becoming integrated into the strategy plans of all portfolio companies.
We expect private market firms with scale, long-term client relationships, a proven value creation model, and a track record of delivering cash returns to clients to continue to gain share. Our successful fund closes in the first half of the year underline this trend.
So far in 2024, our Private Capital strategies have together held final closes amounting to more than EUR 26 billion. In addition to EQT X - which closed at EUR 22 billion, making it EQT's largest ever fund - EQT Future and the Mid-Market Growth fund in Asia also held final closes. Mid-Market Growth is a natural extension of our fully-scaled large-cap platform in Asia . The strategy takes our proven approach in the region thematic investment into the technology, services, and healthcare sectors, active ownership, and pan-regional presence - and applies it to mid-market companies. The fund closed at more than double its target size, with USD 1.6 billion in total commitments.
We currently have approximately EUR 50 billion of "dry powder" and are well positioned to invest this capital with our unique combination of global sector teams and local presence. To add to this, we expect active fundraising efforts for EQT Infrastructure VI to materially conclude in 2024, and for the fund to reach its EUR 20 billion target size. Looking further ahead, we're excited by our new initiatives. The Healthcare Growth strategy has signed two deals following its introduction in January, preparations are ongoing for a new transition infrastructure strategy, as well as the next Asian large-cap fund, BPEA IX.
We are focused on several areas to future-proof EQT. One priority is private wealth, where we continue to strengthen the team and are pleased to announce that Richa Goswami, who brings vast experience in building consumer-facing financial brands, has joined the EQT AB Board. Preparations continue for the launch of new private wealth products across different regions.
EQT has opened new offices in Warsaw, Poland, and Bengaluru, India. The Warsaw office is expected to become a significant tech development hub for EQT, and the Bengaluru office will host junior investment advisory professionals working with our global teams.
We continuously sharpen our value creation toolbox to develop the private equity model of the future. This involves doubling down on talent and being the preferred choice for management teams and boards to work with . It requires refining our sector playbooks and honing our repeatable models for driving value creation. We are also pushing to stay at the forefront of artificial intelligence and sustainability, ensuring we remain leaders in these critical areas. All to futureproof returns for our clients.

The increase is mainly driven by an increase in Financial investments including carried interest which increased by EUR 698m to EUR 3 737m (EUR 3,039m) primarily driven by increased investments from EQT AB Group into EQT funds, strategic investments to support new initiatives and fair value increase relating to carried interest, see Note 3.
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period amounted to EUR 806m (EUR 1,114m). Net debt amounted to EUR 1,194m (EUR 886m in net debt).
Equity increased to EUR 7,493m (EUR 7,416m). The increase is mainly explained by current period net income which is partly offset through the, in 2024, decided dividend.
Non-current liabilities amounted to EUR 2,524m (EUR 2,473m).
Current liabilities amounted to EUR 839m (EUR 732m). The increase is mainly explained by the unpaid part of the dividend.
The parent company's profit before tax amounted to SEK 1,932m (SEK 1,982m). The decrease is mainly explained by a timing effect of dividends from subsidiaries.
As of 1 January 2024, EQT accounts for the entire investment, including carried interest, as a financial instrument in accordance with IFRS 9 at fair value in the balance sheet. The fair value changes will continue to be presented as Carried interest and investment income in the consolidated income statement.
The impact of this change on historical periods is presented in Note 6.
In addition, EQT will (unchanged compared to prior periods) continue to report Adjusted Revenue whereby carried interest is only recognized after applying a valuation buffer (30-50%) on the unrealized part of the underlying fund valuations.
As a result, going forward, EQT will provide a highly transparent carried interest reporting including:
As of 1 January 2024, the Pillar Two legislation was enacted in Sweden, the jurisdiction in which EQT AB is incorporated. Estimated tax expenses (top-up tax) during the period associated with the Pillar Two model rules as published by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ("OECD") amounted to EUR -16m. Further legislative developments throughout 2024 may have an impact on the EQT AB Group's estimated top-up taxes. The EQT AB Group applies the exception to recognizing and disclosing information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes, as provided in the amendments to IAS 12 issued in May 2023.
During the period, EQT X closed at EUR 22bn in total commitments, of which EUR 21.7bn are fee-generating assets under management, hitting the hard cap. EQT's Private Capital strategies across the world have completed fund raises in 2024 that combine to more than EUR 26bn in total commitments.
EQT Infrastructure VI had fee-generating commitments of EUR 16.2bn. Active fundraising efforts are expected to materially conclude in 2024. The fund is expected to reach its target size upon final close.
As previously communicated, EQT expects to execute share buyback programs twice a year to offset the dilution impact from EQT's Incentive Programs. EQT repurchased 2.2m shares during the period and a second repurchase program will be carried out between 19 July 2024 and 23 August 2024 and comprise 2.0m shares.
On 10 July 2024, EQT extended its existing EUR 1.5 billion sustainability-linked revolving credit facility (RCF) for 5 years, with two 1-year extension options. The RCF was originally signed on 21 December 2020 and increased to EUR 1.5 billion on 25 April 2022.
On 10 July 2024, S&P Global Ratings assigned EQT a credit rating of 'A-' with a stable outlook, reflecting EQT's operational strength and robust financial position. The rating complements the existing rating from Fitch (A-/Stable ).
No significant related party transactions have occurred during the period.
There have been no significant changes in pledged assets and contingent liabilities compared to the latest annual report.
The EQT AB Group is exposed to a number of business, strategic, legal, tax, operational and financial risks. The financial risks are related to factors such as credit, liquidity, interest, revaluation and foreign exchange risks, which could lead to financial losses if not managed properly. Financial risks are reported to the CFO on a regular basis to ensure they remain in line with the EQT AB Group's risk profile.

To the Board of Directors of EQT AB corporate registration number 556849-4180
We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of EQT AB (publ) as of 30 June 2024 and the sixmonth period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and other generally accepted auditing practices and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.

The operating segments correspond to the internal reporting used to assess performance and to allocate resources.
EQT's operations are divided into two business segments: Private Capital and Real Assets. The operations of both business segments consist of providing investment management services in the private investment markets. The investment management services comprise i.a. structuring and investment advice, investment management and monitoring as well as reporting and administrative services.
The CEO assesses the operating segments based on the line items presented below, primarily on Revenue and Gross segment results. Segment Revenue/ Adjusted Revenue have been adjusted whereby carried interest is only recognized after applying a valuation buffer (30-50%) on the unrealized part of the underlying fund valuations. Accordingly, Total Revenue according to IFRS reflects the carried interest without the application of a valuation buffer and represents the short term impact of fund valuation changes. Total Segment Revenue/Adjusted Revenue represents the amount of carried interest expected to be converted to cash in a mid term perspective (a more prudent revenue recognition model). The difference between Total Revenue (according to IFRS) and Adjusted Revenue/Total Segment Revenue is the application of valuation buffer (30-50%) on the unrealized part of the underlying fund valuations.
Expenses directly incurred by each respective business segment are included in the Gross segment result, whereas items reported under Central have not been allocated to any business segment. Central consists of EQT AB Group Management, Client Relations and Capital Raising, Fund Operations, EQT Digital and other specialist teams such as HR and Group Finance.
Reconciliations consist of revenue adjustments (see above) as well as items affecting comparability. Items affecting comparability in Hl 2023 relates to an adjustment of the part of the acquisition considerations subject to lock-up, integration cost as well as amortization of identified surplus values in relation to performed
acquisitions. The part of the considerations subject to lock-up is treated as a personnel expense from an accounting perspective and recorded in the income statement over the lock-up period.
Items affecting comparability in Hl 2024 relates to an adjustment of the part of the acquisition considerations subject to lock-up, amortization of identified surplus values in relation to performed acquisitions as well as the non-cash portion of equity incentive program cost. The part of the considerations subject to lock-up is treated as a personnel expense from an accounting perspective and recorded in the income statement over the lock-up period.

EQT AB Group's business of providing fund management services cannot reliably and fairly be reviewed by geographical areas. EQT AB Group's fund investors may often be located in multiple jurisdictions and the funds through which the fund investors invest are located in a few centers where fund management services are provided, principally Luxembourg.
EQT has commitments of future cash outflows based on signed agreements relating to committed amounts regarding financial investments. At 30 June 2024, the EQT AB Group had remaining commitments to invest in multiple EQT funds and fund related vehicles of a total amount of EUR 466m (EUR 528m at year-end). The commitments are called over time, normally between one to five years following the commitment.
Fair value is the price that would be received if an asset was sold, or paid if a liability was transferred in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. EQT AB Group measures fair values using the following fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements:
EQT AB Group measures investments, including carried interest, at fair value in the balance sheet. Carried interest is a part of a financial instrument that the EQT AB Group acquires in an arm's length transaction through its holdings in the Special Limited Partners. The return on carried interest is fully dependent on the performance of the relevant fund and is either payable at the end of the life of the fund or paid as instalments at the time of realization within each fund, or a combination thereof.
From a valuation perspective carried interest is valued as a separate component of the investment in the SLP. The value of the financial investments related to carried interest is based on a calculation of the accrued allocation of carried interest to EQT for each fund pursuant to the fund agreements as if all underlying investments were realized at the current fair value as of such date, i.e., the net asset value of the fund . In order to further validate the value EQT also takes into consideration additional historical information such as fund performance and deployment to date as well as forward looking information such as the expected future deployment of the fund including but not
limited to the expected future pattern of drawdowns, the expected holding period of investments and lifetime of the fund. As some of the inputs in the model are not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
The table below shows a reconciliation of level 3 fair values for financial investments including carried interest.

From an EQT AB Group perspective, financial investments, including carried interest, are measured at fair value normally by applying their relative share of the net asset values. A reasonably possible change of+/- 10% in the net asset value would affect the fair value of the investments including carried interest at 30 June 2024 with approximately EUR +700m or EUR -800m respectively whereof carried interest represents EUR 600m or EUR -700m respectively. The effects of any changes in fair value, excluding investments and realizations, would be recognized in the income statement.
Although the EQT AB Group believes that its estimates of fair values are appropriate, the use of different methodologies and different unobservable inputs could lead to different measurements of fair value. No other changes in unobservable input factors would result in any material changes in fair value.
EQT AB has issued sustainability-linked bonds ( classified as an interest-bearing liability in the balance sheet) with fixed coupon rates linked to ESG-related objectives. Fair value as of 30 June 2024 amounts to EUR 1,807m (carrying amount: EUR 2,000m). EQT AB Group's other financial instruments consist mainly of short-term receivables, accounts payable, deposits in commercial banks. The Group considers the carrying amounts of those financial instruments to be reasonable approximations of their fair values.

The EQT Share Program ( established in 2023) consists of ordinary shares in EQT AB. The Program is divided into five separate annual grants, each subject to a one-year performance period and a three-year holding period. Depending on the achievement of certain performance targets during the performance year, an amount may be awarded which after the performance period is settled in the total number of outstanding shares in EQT AB that corresponds to the amount awarded. With certain limited exceptions, no vesting conditions apply during the three-year holding period. Based on the number of shares as of 31 December 2022, the maximum dilution for the EQT Share Program is one percent in total. EQT intends, over time, to repurchase shares to offset the dilution related to the EQT Share Program 1.
The EQT Option Program (established in 2023) consists of options which upon exercise entitle the option holders to acquire ordinary shares in EQT AB. The Program is divided into five separate annual grants, each subject to a one-year performance period and a three-year holding period. Depending on the achievement of certain performance targets during the performance year, an amount may be awarded which after the performance period is settled in the number of options that corresponds to the amount awarded. With certain limited exceptions, no vesting conditions apply during the three-year holding period. The option exercise period commences after the holding period. Based on the number of shares as of 31 December 2022, the maximum dilution for the EQT Option Program is four percent in total.
EQT intends, over time, to repurchase shares to offset the dilution related to the EQT Option Program 1.

Performance in relation to targets for Adjusted Revenue growth, Adjusted EBITDA margin and a sustainability assessment has resulted in a gross share grant level of EUR 19m for Hl 2024 (EUR 19m) of which EUR 10m (EUR 9m) was cash cost.
The granting of options is based on participants' individual fulfilment of targets in the performance framework including (i) Building and developing cross-platform collaboration, (ii) Responsible and appropriate cost management, (iii) Growth from a business line focused management to firm wide leadership,
(iv) Tangible contribution to the sustainability goals of the company, (v) Developing new business areas for EQT. Total grant cost recognized in Hl 2024 was EUR 40m (EUR 10m) of which none (none) was cash cost.
The total non-cash cost for the incentive programs Hl 2024 amounts to EUR 60m whereof EUR 50m (EUR 20m) relates to granted amounts as of Hl 2024 and EUR 10m relates to additional non-cash cost such as social charges for which cash payment is contingent on a gain and only due at exercise. Non-cash cost in Hl 2023 was not adjusted for, see Note 1.
For performance year 2023, 631,547 shares were granted within the EQT share program, corresponding to a dilution impact of 0.05% and 4,430,306 options with a strike price of SEK 295 were granted within the EQT option program. The option program will only be dilutive in case the EQT AB share price at exercise is above the share price at grant. The exercise price is capped at 4x the share price at grant. Any gain above the share price at grant and up to the cap will be settled in shares (net strike mechanism). As such, dilution in relation to options granted is capped at 75% of the number of options granted, or 0.28%. Assuming a share price corresponding to end Hl 2024 of SEK 313, current dilution would be 0.02%
For the first half of performance year 2024, assuming the cost recorded as of Hl-24 and a share price corresponding to June 30th 2024 of SEK 313, 361,682 shares3 and 6,425,015 options4 would be granted, respectively. As a result, the dilution impact from the Share program would be 0.03%. Max dilution in relation to the option program Hl 2024 is capped at 75% of the number of options granted, or 0.41%.
Following an analysis of EQT's investment in Special Limited Partners (SLP), it was concluded that the entire investment should be classified as a financial instrument in accordance with IFRS 9 "Financial instruments". The investment in SLP is a contract which gives the right to receive cash, and it therefore meets the definition of a financial instrument.
Previously the investment has been divided into two parts, one financial instrument which has been recognized at fair value in the balance sheet and one part that related to the carried interest which has been accounted for in accordance with IFRS 15 "Revenue from contracts with customers"1l.
As of 1 January 2024, EQT accounts for the entire investment, including carried interest, as a financial instrument in accordance with IFRS 9 at fair value in the balance sheet. The fair value changes will continue to be presented as Carried interest and investment income in the consolidated income statement.
The restatement is done in accordance with IAS 8 "Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors" and the comparative period is restated.
The financial investments including carried interest is part of EQT's operating activities and is realized on a continuous basis. These investments have no contractual duration and is realized in the normal operating cycle which has led to the conclusion that these investments are presented as current assets. Restatement is made of the comparative period. Consequently, also the cash flow from financial investments is classified in operating activities and reclassified from investing activities.
The effects of the change regarding accounting for carried interest, and reclassification of cash flows for financial investments have the following retrospective effects in the financial statements for the comparative period first half of 2023 as well as for the fiscal year 2023.
The single effect on the IFRS consolidated income statement of the restatement, due to the change in accounting policy regarding carried interest, is that the Carried interest and investment income line increased with the below amounts due to the positive change in fair value attributable to the period. The principles for Adjusted Revenue is unchanged compared to prior periods, whereby carried interest is only recognized after applying a valuation buffer (30-50%) on the unrealized part of the underlying fund valuations, see Note 1.

The change in accounting policy regarding measurement, classification and presentation of carried interest leads to the following effects in the consolidated balance sheet.
Financial investments under Non-current asset together with Accrued but yet not paid carried interest has been reclassified into one single amount and presented as financial investments under the headline Current assets.
The change in accounting policy has generated a net increase of financial investments with a corresponding increase in Retained earnings including net income. Previously

The change in accounting policy has the following effect on the consolidated statement of cash flows.
As the change in accounting policy has affected operating profit positively due to the changes in fair value, consolidated statement of cash flow is starting from a restated operating profit and consequently, as the fair value change is not a cash generating transaction, the increase is reversed on the line item Changes in fair value. The remaining changes due to the change in accounting policy are reclassifications as described below.
As all financial investments including carried interest are presented as one single line item in the balance sheet, the non-cash adjustment for Recorded, yet not yet paid carried interest is presented as part of Changes in fair value. Furthermore, as it has been deemed that cash flow from Financial investments including carried interest is part of EQT's operating activities, the cash flow has been reclassified from investing activities to operating activities and that Paid carried interest is presented as part of proceeds from Financial investments including carried interest.

Total Revenue adjusted whereby carried interest is only recognized after applying a valuation buffer (30-50%) on the unrealized part of the underlying fund valuations, see Note 1. |

Adjusted Total Revenue includes the amount of carried interest expected to be converted to cash in a mid term perspective ( a more prudent revenue recognition model). The difference between Total Revenue (according to IFRS) and Adjusted Total Revenue is the application of a valuation buffer (30-50%) on the unrealized part of the underlying fund valuations. |
