CEO statement

Dear fellow shareholders,

During the second quarter, our total shareholder return was -17 percent, compared to the SIXRX return index at -16 percent. Our adjusted net asset value declined by 9 percent. The relative resilience in our net asset value was driven by good operating performance in our subsidiaries, and solid outperformance by Listed Companies, while Investments in

EQT impacted negatively. Year-to-date, our adjusted net asset value declined by -18 percent. Our total shareholder return was -25 percent, compared to -28 percent for the SIXRX return index.

Supply chain constraints, soaring inflation, rising interest rates as well as increased worries about the macro outlook have led to a sharp fall in equity markets. Given the headwinds facing consumers worldwide, there is a clear risk for lower demand going forward. Currently, covid-19 related lockdowns in China adds additional uncertainty. In this unpredictable environment, we continue to support our companies in their efforts to handle short-term challenges while also continuing to invest to strengthen their longterm competitiveness.

Listed Companies

During the quarter, Listed Companies' total return was -8 percent, resulting in a year-to-date total return of -17 percent. Saab, AstraZeneca and Sobi generated the strongest returns, driven by positive news flow, but also by the market shift towards more defensive stocks.

While managing current challenges, our companies are simultaneously capturing opportunities and investing for the future. For example, Atlas Copco is investing significantly in its production and R&D operations in Belgium, extending its smart factory concept and increasing production efficiency. The company is also in the process of developing its newly acquired industrial pumps businesses, and capturing the opportunities within Machine Vision Solutions.

Saab received a strategic contract for two GlobalEye, Airborne Early Warning and Control aircraft, from the Swedish government. The order clearly demonstrates Saab's capabilities as a high-quality supplier of advanced defense and security products.

Patricia Industries

Based on estimated market values, Patricia Industries' total return was 2 percent during the quarter, driven by higher earnings and positive currency effects, while multiple contraction impacted negatively. In addition, Advanced Instruments, for the first time being reported at estimated market value instead of acquisition cost, contributed positively, driven by strong operating performance and positive currency effects.

Reported sales growth for the major subsidiaries was 26 percent, of which 8 percent organically in constant currency. Adjusted EBITA grew by 17 percent.

For Mölnlycke, this was the last quarter impacted by Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) contracts in the comparison period. Reported organic growth was 5 percent in constant currency during the quarter. Excluding the PPE contracts, organic growth was 9 percent. Wound

Care reported the strongest growth at 11 percent. While still impacted by increased raw materials and logistics costs, operational performance was strong, with EBITDA of EUR 125m, compared to a quarterly average of EUR 110m during the previous three quarters. These last four quarters were all unaffected by PPE contracts.

For the remaining eight subsidiaries, the overall development was strong. While Permobil reported flat organic sales during the quarter, the others grew 6-21 percent organically. The combined adjusted EBITA growth for these companies was strong.

Piab and Advanced Instruments closed their previously announced acquisitions of Joulin and Artel respectively. In total, Patricia Industries invested SEK 0.7bn in equity as part of the financing. The pipeline of potential add-on acquisitions remains strong.

Investments in EQT

The value change of Investments in EQT was -26 percent during the quarter, caused by the sharp decline in the EQT AB share price, while the value of our fund investments, reported with a one-quarter lag, grew by 7 percent. Net cash flow to Investor was very strong at almost SEK 4bn, driven by several successful exits.

Investor stands strong

After many years with extraordinarily low interest rates and a favorable macro environment, we are likely entering a more challenging period. Given this, effective and profitable business models will be more important than ever. In this respect, we have, over many years, built and invested in companies with leading market positions in attractive segments with secular growth, such as healthcare, medtech and automation, led by top-quality people. Overall, profitability is good, cash flow generation is strong and they are well capitalized. As engaged owners, we constantly drive initiatives to future-proof our companies, making sure that they can continue to grow stronger and outperform competition.

In addition to our portfolio of high-quality companies, Investor has a strong financial position. During the past 4 years, we have raised a total SEK 23bn in the Eurobond market at an average fixed interest rate of approximately 1.5 percent with an average maturity of 14 years. This proactive balance sheet management has put us in a strong position with a long average maturity profile, attractive interest rates, and a significant gross cash position. At the end of the quarter, leverage was 2 percent. Furthermore, our cash flow generation is strong.

With our portfolio of great companies, our proven governance model, clear strategic direction and strong financial position, I believe that we are in a good position to navigate successfully even if we enter tougher times. Our ultimate target to generate attractive long-term returns to you, dear fellow shareholders, remains intact.

Activities during the quarter

Group

  • Organic sales growth amounted to 5 percent in constant currency. Excluding contract sales of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) last year, organic growth was 9 percent. This is the last quarter with PPE sales in the comparison period. Excluding the PPE impact, all business areas grew organically. Wound Care reported the highest growth at 11 percent.
  • The EBITA margin declined, positively impacted by strong sales and product mix, which was offset by higher raw material and logistics costs and increased investments in sales and marketing, mainly within Wound Care.

Wound Care

• Organic sales growth amounted to 11 percent in constant currency with continued good performance in all regions, EMEA and Americas in particular.

Operating Room Solutions

• Organic sales growth amounted to -6 percent in constant currency. Adjusted for the PPE impact last year, organic sales growth was 7 percent. The main driver was Trays, which benefitted from elective surgeries being back at precovid levels.

Gloves

• Organic sales growth amounted to 6 percent in constant currency. Production is running at full capacity and Mölnlycke continues to invest in manufacturing capacity to further capture the strong underlying demand.

Antiseptics

• Organic sales growth amounted to 2 percent in constant currency. The supply situation has gradually improved, and the second half of the quarter ended on a strong note.

Activities during the quarter

  • Organic sales growth amounted to 16 percent in constant currency, driven by strong instruments, consumables and services performance.
  • The company completed the acquisition of Artel, a global leader in liquid handling validation and calibration solutions, on June 13, 2022. The total consideration amounts to an upfront payment of approximately USD 85m on a cash- and debt-free basis, and additional payments of up to USD 55m subject to achievement of certain 2022 revenue targets. Patricia Industries invested USD 50m into Advanced Instruments to fund the acquisition, with the remainder funded by balance sheet cash and external debt.
  • Adjusting for some USD 7m in transaction-related costs related to the Artel acquisition, the EBITA margin was 43 percent. The decrease compared to last year is mainly explained by continued investments in the global commercial organization, general and administrative functions, and R&D, as well as by product mix impact following the recent acquisition of Solentim.

Pledged assets and contingent liabilities

Total pledged assets amount to SEK 29.2bn (24.8), of which SEK 27.1bn (23.4) refers to pledged assets in the subsidiaries BraunAbility, Laborie, Advanced Instruments and Sarnova, related to outstanding loans corresponding to SEK 2.9bn, SEK 4.7bn, SEK 2.2bn and SEK 5.5bn. The increase in pledged assets mainly relates to increased assets in the subsidiaries.

Total contingent liabilities amount to SEK 1.3bn (1.1).

Risks and uncertainties

The main risks that the Group and the Parent Company are exposed to are primarily related to the value changes of the listed assets due to market price fluctuations. The global economy continues to be affected by geopolitical tensions, supply chain constraints, increased inflation as well as Russia's invasion of Ukraine. This uncertain market environment creates unpredictable near-term fluctuations in the financial markets.

The global market development also affects Investor's unlisted holdings' business and opportunities for new investments and divestments. Investor and its subsidiaries are exposed to commercial risks and financial risks, such as share price risks, interest rate risks and currency risks. In addition, the subsidiaries, through their business activities within respective sector, are also exposed to legal/regulatory risks as well as political risks. Whatever the economic situation in the world, operational risk management requires a continued high level of awareness and focused work to mitigate current risks in line with stated policies and procedures. Investor's risk management, risks and uncertainties are described in detail in the Annual Report, (Administration report and Note 3).

Risks with regards to Russia's invasion of Ukraine

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 scale down their Russian activities.

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 and higher prices on raw materials 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 half of 2022, no impairment has been made related to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Accounting policies

For the Group, this Interim Report is prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and applicable regulations in the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with Sweden's Annual Accounts Act, chapter 9 Interim report. The accounting policies that have been applied for the Group and Parent Company, are in agreement with the accounting policies used in preparation of the company's most recent annual report.

Alternative Performance Measures

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 31-32. 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.

Roundings

Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout this Interim Report may not add up precisely to the totals provided and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures.

Review Report

Introduction

We have reviewed the Interim report of Investor AB (publ), corporate identity number 556013-8298, for the period January 1-June 30, 2022. The Board of Directors and the President 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.

Scope of 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 consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has a different focus and is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA) and other generally accepted auditing practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would

make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit.

Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Interim report is not, in all material respects, prepared 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.

Financial instruments

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 31, Financial Instruments, in Investor's Annual Report 2021.

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 115m (120). For the derivatives, a parallel shift of the interest rate curve by one percentage point would affect the value by approximately SEK 750m (900).

Financial assets and liabilities by level

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

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 the invested amount.
