"During the third quarter, all three business areas generated positive growth in adjusted net asset value, and our whollyowned subsidiaries within Patricia Industries reported record sales and profit.

Dear fellow shareholders,
The third quarter was characterized by highly volatile financial markets and growing concerns about the economic outlook. Against this backdrop, I am encouraged by our resilient performance, with all three business areas generating positive adjusted net asset value growth, and Patricia Industries' subsidiaries growing adjusted EBITA by more than 30 percent.
During the quarter, our adjusted net asset value grew by 3 percent and our total shareholder return amounted to -3 percent, compared to -4 percent for the SIXRX return index. Year-to-date, adjusted net asset value growth amounted to -16 percent and our total shareholder return to -27 percent, compared to -31 percent for the SIXRX return index.
Currently, many of our companies have strong order books, and while supply chain challenges remain, we see signs of improvements in some areas. For Investor, we also benefit from a high exposure to relatively more resilient sectors such as medtech and pharmaceuticals. However, high inflation, increased interest rates and rising energy bills are now taking a big bite out of households' disposable income, increasing the risk for a broad-based decline in demand. The complex geopolitical situation, including its impact on the energy sector, adds additional uncertainty. In this environment, one of our key priorities is to ensure that our companies have concrete contingency plans in place, ready to be activated swiftly if necessary. Equally important is to support them in identifying where to keep investing, even in more difficult times. Companies that balance continuous efficiency initiatives and customer support with strategic investments to future-proof their businesses, will emerge stronger and outperform competition over time. As racing-car champion Ayrton Senna once said: "You cannot overtake 15 cars in sunny weather, but you can when it's raining."
The total return amounted to 2 percent during the third quarter, taking the year-to-date return to -16 percent. Nasdaq, Atlas Copco, and ABB contributed the most to performance.
During the quarter, we invested SEK 0.5bn in Atlas Copco. ABB announced the divestment of the remaining part of Power Grids and has now completed the spin-off of Accelleron to its shareholders. Continuously evaluating and optimizing a company's business portfolio is a key driver for long-term value creation.
Since its inception in 2015, Patricia Industries has grown into a significant part of our portfolio, now representing almost a quarter of our adjusted assets. The companies (subsidiaries and 40 percent of Three Scandinavia) have strong positions in attractive niches, with combined sales and EBITDA of almost SEK 51bn and SEK 11.5bn respectively during the last 12 months. The corresponding figures for the third quarter amount to SEK 14.4bn and SEK 3.4bn.
Patricia Industries' total return was 5 percent during the quarter, driven by higher earnings and positive currency effect, while lower multiples impacted negatively. Year-todate, the total return amounts to 2 percent.
During the quarter, reported sales growth for the major subsidiaries was 32 percent, of which 10 percent organically in constant currency. Adjusted EBITA grew by 34 percent. The strong development was supported by operating leverage, price management, and positive currency effects. After a number of quarters with lower than normal cash flow generation, we saw improvement during the quarter, mainly explained by a stabilizing inventory situation.
Mölnlycke reported strong sales growth and an improved profit margin. For the group, organic sales growth amounted to 9 percent. Wound Care grew by 9 percent organically, driven by strong underlying demand and successful commercial execution. For Gloves, the supply situation improved and sales grew by 15 percent organically. In order to meet strong demand and reduce the carbon footprint, a EUR 50m investment in a new surgical gloves factory was finalized.
The value change of Investments in EQT was 2 percent during the quarter, driven by our holding in EQT AB, while the value of our fund investments declined slightly. Net cash flow to Investor amounted to SEK 0.9bn.
We have a portfolio of high-quality companies with leading market positions in attractive growth segments. They are typically highly profitable and cash generative, and they are led by top-quality people. Furthermore, our companies are exposed to secular growth trends such as automation, electrification, and demographics. Capturing the opportunities that sustainability offers continues to be highly prioritized for our companies. Bringing forward innovative, energy-efficient and environmentally friendly products is of course essential to support customers, and grow market share, but also to combat climate change and contribute to society as a whole.
Investor has a strong financial position, with low leverage, a substantial gross cash position, an attractive debt maturity profile and strong cash flow generation. Our ambition is to use this strength to capture attractive investment opportunities both within Listed Companies and Patrica Industries.
No doubt, there is a clear risk that the macro environment will become more challenging. In a significant downturn, most companies will of course be impacted. However, we are well positioned for tougher times, and we know from history that significant long-term value can be created by those who are well prepared and able to move forward and invest, when competition is not.

The dramatically changed geopolitical situation following the Russian invasion of Ukraine has, in addition to the enormous suffering inflicted on people and society, as well as harsher sanctions, a significant impact on the global economy. Investor's companies operate in several different industries, and they all face different situations. Based on Investor's governance model, with clear roles and responsibilities, each individual board and management team decides on appropriate actions. All companies are taking measures to follow sanctions, to protect and support employees, and many are taking steps to wind down their Russian activities.
The direct exposure to Russia and Ukraine is very small for Investor and its subsidiaries and the direct financial impact from the war is negligible. However, the indirect impact due to fluctuations in the financial markets, higher prices on raw materials, inflation and central bank policies, can be substantial, but it is not possible to quantify these effects for the interim period or the coming year. In 2021, Investor's net sales to Russia and Ukraine was less than SEK 50m, corresponding to 0.12 percent of net sales for the Group. The Group has no production plants or other assets in the countries concerned. During the first nine months of 2022, no impairment has been made related to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
This Interim Management Statement has in all material aspects been prepared in accordance with NASDAQ Stockholm's guidelines for preparing interim management statements. The accounting policies that have been applied for the consolidated income statement and consolidated balance sheet, are in agreement with the accounting policies used in the preparation of the company's most recent annual report.
Investor applies the ESMA Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures (APMs). An APM is a financial measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows, other than a financial measure defined or specified in the applicable financial reporting framework. For Investor's consolidated accounts, this framework typically means IFRS.
Definitions of all APMs used are found in the Annual Report 2021 and on www.investorab.com/investorsmedia/investor-in-figures/definitions.
Reconciliations to the financial statements for the APMs that are not directly identifiable from the financial statements and considered significant to specify, are disclosed on pages 28-29. Reconciliations of APMs for individual subsidiaries or business areas are not disclosed, since the purpose of these are to give deeper financial
information without being directly linked to the financial information for the Group, that is presented according to the applicable financial reporting framework.
Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout this Interim Management Statement may not add up precisely to the totals provided and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures.

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 140m (120). For the derivatives, a parallel shift of the interest rate curve by one percentage point would affect the value by approximately SEK 650m (900).
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 investments 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 Three Scandinavia. |
|---|---|
| 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, typically Enterprise value (EV)/Last 12 months' operating profit, for relevant listed peers and indices. 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 valued at cost. |
