EQT AB (PUBL) YEAR-END REPORT 2020 2
2020 was an unprecedented year - the pandemic changed the way we do business, work and live. It was a year impacted by political events, fi scal and monetary policy. A year of social and personal hardship. A year of challenges. But, more happily, it was also a year of opportunities and solutions.
For EQT, 2020 was like experiencing a whole decade of private equity in one go. With a resilient portfolio, we stayed focused on future-proofi ng the portfolio companies, fundraising, thematic investments, and building a stronger and even more relevant EQT fully focused on value-add strategies.
With the travel restrictions, our local-with-locals approach was more important than ever, and with our digital platforms, we quickly adapted to new ways of working. Value creation in EQT funds was positive with all key funds performing on or above plan. We activated the largest EQT funds ever and saw healthy fundraising momentum. Importantly, we continued to invest in people and talent with new hires to support the next steps in our growth journey.
With today's announcement of EQT's combination with Exeter, we took a major leap forward in delivering on our strategic ambition in Real Estate as well as our plan to grow EQT's presence in North America.
Exeter has a strong performance and growth trackrecord and fi ts perfectly with EQT's culture and focus on value-add strategies. With 37 local deal o ces, Exeter combines local execution with a global reach, mirroring EQT's local-with-locals approach. Exeter brings 60 new fund investors to EQT and adds USD 10.2 billion of AUM. Total consideration is USD 1,870 million on a cash and debt free basis, of which approximately USD 800 million to be satisfi ed through issue of new EQT shares.
The proposed consideration is expected to equate to a mid-teens EBITDA multiple on a run-rate basis at completion and the transaction is expected to be accretive to EQT AB's earnings. The transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to complete in the second quarter of 2021. I am thrilled to welcome the whole Exeter team to EQT!
The combination with Exeter establishes EQT as a global leader within active ownership strategies*. With the divestment of Credit, we are fully focused on strategies where EQT can future-proof companies and make a positive impact.
Uniquely, with the announcement of EQT Growth, EQT is the only large private markets fi rm in the world with investment strategies covering all phases of a business' development, from startup to maturity. Our global advisory teams across all business lines form an ecosystem, sharing insights into di erent regions, sectors and themes.
We continue to prepare for our new Asia Pacifi c strategy. With the opening of EQT's Sydney o ce,
*Defined as Private Equity, Infrastructure and Real Estate.
we now have local Infrastructure and Private Equity advisory teams in place. Given EQT's clients' desire to have longer maturity investments, we also continue to evaluate long-hold investment strategies as a natural extension of EQT's current investment strategies.
2020 was a record year for EQT in terms of fundraising. AUM grew by 46 percent to EUR 52.5 billion. Fundraising for key funds EQT IX and EQT Infrastructure V are both well on plan with closed out commitments of EUR 14.6 billion and EUR 7.6 billion respectively at year-end. Furthermore, EQT Real Estate II reached its hard-cap of EUR 1.0 billion and by year-end the EQT Public Value fund had around EUR 0.8 billion fee generating AUM.
With a resilient portfolio, our investment advisory teams were able to stay focused on new thematic investment opportunities. This resulted in investments by the EQT funds of almost EUR 13 billion in 2020, of which EUR 11 billion was executed in the second half of the year as market conditions improved and activity picked up.
We remain focused on EQT's priority sectors and thematic approach, with almost 80 percent of the funds' investments in 2020 being across the Telecom, Media, Technology (TMT) and Healthcare sectors. New investments during the year include schülke (hygiene and infection prevention), Deutsche Glasfaser (fi beroptic internet access provider), EdgeConnex (global hyperscale and edge data center provider), and Natural Colors (global developer and manufacturer of natural coloring ingredients for food and beverages). EQT Real Estate II and Sigma Capital announced a joint venture bringing 3,000 new rental homes to Greater London. The EQT Public Value fund announced investments in companies including Securitas and BioGaia. EQT Ventures II invested in companies such as Seeqc, Anyfi n, Cleo, Wonder, and Luko.
Today, EQT IX is 30-35 percent invested and EQT Infrastructure V is 20-25 percent invested. Looking ahead, the continued deployment pace will depend on prevailing market conditions, but also on the EQT funds being able to source the right investments, taking portfolio construction and diversifi cation across geographies and sectors into account.
Exit activity was subdued during the year with EUR 3.4 billion of exits of which EUR 3.2 billion took place in the second half. The funds made seven sizeable exits, of which three were achieved through initial public o erings (Nordic pet care specialist Musti Group, Nordic value-for-money home provider HusCompagniet, and US-based Certara, global leader in biosimulation). With several companies developing strongly, we are preparing for a number of exits in 2021. Should market conditions deteriorate, EQT may retain some of these companies, always with the primary objective of maximizing the risk-adjusted returns over the lifetime of the funds.
The EQT fund portfolio - with exposure to TMT, Healthcare, Essential Infrastructure and Services has generally developed well during the year. Many portfolio companies benefi t from resilient growth, often in essential sectors with robust and recurring revenues and stable customers. As a result, value creation was positive and all the key funds are "On plan" or "Above plan" to meet Gross MOIC targets.
A handful of companies in EQT's key funds remain structurally impacted by the pandemic. The activation of existing recession plans, in combination with refi nancings and extensions of debt maturities, provided support for those companies that were negatively a ected, resulting in limited equity injections being required to date. That said, we remain cautious given the ongoing crisis and have plans in place for each portfolio company to be prepared in the event of a further downturn.
In 2020, we drew up EQT's Statement of Purpose, a credo covering our responsibility to make a positive impact, to be part of the solution to society's challenges and to earn the trust of a broad set of stakeholders. As a consequence, we updated EQT AB's Articles of Association to include that our business is conducted in a way that future-proofs companies and has a positive impact. We also committed to increase diversity, support equal rights and address climate change. We recently committed to the Science Based Targets initiative and took important steps towards measuring greenhouse gas emissions across the portfolio companies and will set emission targets in line with the Paris agreement. We have increased our share of female hires and the share of female board members, both in EQT AB and in portfolio companies.
In addition, we launched ESG-linked credit facilities in EQT's Private Equity and Infrastructure business lines. The facilities are coupled with a pricing mechanism designed to accelerate ESG performance and drive long-term behaviour in the EQT funds' portfolio companies, in systemically important areas of transparency and accountability, diversity and climate change.
With continued low interest rates, we expect allocations into private markets to continue as investors seek consistent and strong returns - the allocations globally to value-add strategies are expected to be around USD 10 trillion over the next ten years. With EQT's clear focus on value-add strategies, we see signifi cant opportunities to continue to outgrow the private markets.
A combination of increasing competition, improving market conditions and low interest rates contribute to high valuation multiples, in particular for companies that have been able to demonstrate resilience and growth during the pandemic. A wide range of strategic and fi nancial investors are seeking investments in
companies supported by global trends. We continuously refi ne our thematic investment approach, develop our value-creation toolbox, build our global ecosystem of complementary investment strategies, leverage our local-with-locals approach and use our strengths in digitalization and sustainability to future-proof companies and create value.
We continue to develop our digital tools, including EQT's proprietary Artifi cial Intelligence system, Motherbrain. The tool was initially used by the Ventures team to help identify investment opportunities resulting in investments by the EQT Ventures funds of over EUR 100 million in aggregate. Motherbrain is now used across strategies to support the teams with intelligence and ideas.
The trends we saw accelerate with the pandemic in 2020 will accelerate further and faster. And while the virus has undoubtedly caused untold hardship for millions of people, at EQT we have worked hard to ensure we are well placed to withstand whatever it throws at us. Within our focus sectors, we continuously refi ne EQT's investment approach and thematic mindset. We have enhanced our focus on certain segments within for example health & wellbeing, technology acceleration and digitalization, climate & sustainability, and social infrastructure.
We continually invest in our platform and our people. This means expanding fundraising capabilities to prepare EQT for the next leg of our growth journey, investing in our digital interface with the investors and making further investments in people and technology across our Central platform to deliver continued scalable growth.
As we continue EQT's global growth journey, we will work hard to nourish our culture, a core part of EQT's success. Personal interaction is important for any organisation and I look forward to a time when we can meet with colleagues across EQT's o ces. We will invest further in EQT Academy and continue to drive focus on inclusiveness, diversity and performance.
In 2020, we seized the opportunity to develop and grow. Throughout our 26-year history, we have constantly challenged ourselves based on a mindset that everything can always be improved, everywhere, at all times. As we enter 2021, we set out again to continue to further improve as a purpose driven investor - putting purpose even more into practice!

Total investments made by the EQT funds amounted to EUR 12.9bn (EUR 9.8bn) during 2020, an increase of 32% compared to 2019. Of the total investments* made during the period, 61% was invested in Private Capital and 39% in Real Assets.

Total gross fund exits made by the EQT funds amounted to EUR 3.4bn (EUR 7.2bn) during 2020, a decrease of 53% compared to 2019. The investment and exit environment in 2020 was impacted by uncertain and weak markets in the fi rst half of the year, but picked up during the second half. Both Private Capital and Real Assets have a strong pipeline of potential exits in 2021, should markets remain supportive. Of the total gross fund exits*, 91% was in Private Capital and 9% in Real Assets.
As of December 31, 2020, AUM amounted to EUR 52.5bn (EUR 36.0bn). EQT remained highly active during the period despite the uncertainties imposed by COVID-19.
During 2020 EQT has worked on raising two fl agship funds, EQT IX and EQT Infrastructure V. Both fundraisings are running according to plan with EUR 14.6bn of closed out commitments in EQT IX and EUR 7.6bn in EQT Infrastructure V per year end, driven by good demand from both new and existing investors**. Both funds started generating management fees in 2020.
In addition, EQT Real Estate II reached its hard cap of EUR 1.0bn and EQT Public Value fund grew its AUM supported by strong returns.
Value creation, measured as Gross MOIC, increased across the majority of EQT funds in 2020. The expected Gross MOIC developed "On plan" in key EQT funds in Private Capital and Real Assets, except for EQT Infrastructure III which, as per December 31, 2020, continued to develop "Above plan". EQT VII will be characterised as "Above plan" if it were to perform persistently and materially above 2.5x expected Gross MOIC.
In line with our growth strategy, the number of employees increased in 2020 across business lines, geographies and central functions. As of December 31, 2020, the number of full-time equivalent employees and on-site consultants (FTE plus) amounted to 710 (665), of which FTEs amounted to 653 (606). Due to COVID-19, the hiring pace was subdued, but new employees were added across the organisation including in the EQT Growth *Total investments and total gross fund exits in terms of capital (EUR).
strategy, in the Infrastructure team in anticipation of EQT Infrastructure V and within Central to continue to strengthen the EQT platform. In addition to the FTEs added during Q4 there is a meaningful number of FTEs recruited in H2 2020 that are expected to start in Q1 2021.
EQT expanded its footprint in APAC, with the opening of an o ce in Sydney on February 11, 2020. In addition, as an entry into one of the largest PE markets in Europe, EQT opened an o ce in Paris on June 10, 2020.
The sale of business segment Credit was signed and subsequently closed during the year. Now EQT is solely focused on active ownership strategies.
Moreover, EQT signed a fi ve-year EUR 1.0bn RCF in order to increase the fi nancial fl exibility of EQT and it will incorporate a pricing mechanism linked to ESGrelated objectives.
After the period, EQT signed an agreement to acquire Exeter, executing on EQT's strategic ambition to grow in Real Estate and specifi cally in North America.
Adjusted total revenue increased by 34% to EUR 762m in 2020 (EUR 570m). Management fees in 2020 amounted to EUR 609m (EUR 539m). The increase in management fees was predominantly driven by management fees from the closed out commitments in EQT IX. Adjusted carried interest and investment income also increased during the year to EUR 153m (EUR 31m), driven mainly by carried interest recognition in EQT VII following strong value creation and exits.
Personnel expenses, excluding items a ecting comparability, amounted to EUR 252m in 2020 (EUR 203m), an increase driven by growth in number of employees. Other operating expenses, excluding items a ecting comparability, amounted to EUR 125m in 2020 (EUR 105m). Items a ecting comparability within total operating expenses amounted to EUR 8m (EUR -59m) and related to a partial reversal of the provision recorded during 2019 relating to the VAT ruling.
Adjusted EBITDA amounted to EUR 385m (EUR 262m), corresponding to a margin of 51% (46%).

EQT VII will be characterised as "Above plan" if it were to perform persistently and materially above 2.5x expected Gross MOIC.
FTE+ at the end of the period amounted to 244 (236). The increase in FTEs was primarily driven by the new strategy EQT Growth.
Adjusted revenue amounted to EUR 531m in 2020, corresponding to an increase of 61% compared to EUR 331m in 2019 driven by management fees from EQT IX and carried interest recognized in EQT VII.

Following a subdued H1 due to COVID-19, H2 included several investments from both EQT Infrastructure IV and EQT Infrastructure V. Investments include, among others, EdgeConnex (EQT Infrastructure IV), Colisée, Molslinjen, and the public o er for Torghatten (EQT Infrastructure V). In addition, EQT Real Estate launched a joint venture to create an investment portfolio of high-quality "build-to-rent" residential homes in Greater London.
Total gross fund exits made by the EQT Funds amounted to EUR 0.3bn (EUR 1.4bn). Exits include Hector Rail Group and Synagro (EQT Infrastructure II). After a slower exit pace due to uncertain markets and an unfavorable exit environment during H1, exits are expected to regain momentum in 2021.
AUM increased during the year to EUR 19.3bn (EUR 14.0bn). This was primarily driven by EQT Infrastructure V with EUR 7.6bn of commitments as per December 31, 2020. The hard cap for EQT Infrastructure V was set at EUR 15.0bn. Other contributors to gross infl ows include commitments in EQT Real Estate II to reach the EUR 1.0bn hard cap.
The gross infl ows were o set by the step-down in EQT Infrastructure IV of EUR 3.4bn following the activation of EQT Infrastructure V.

Value creation remained stable in light of uncertain markets during the year. EQT Infrastructure II current Gross MOIC decreased slightly to 2.0x (2.1x). EQT Infrastructure III current Gross MOIC increased to 1.7x (1.5x). EQT Infrastructure IV current Gross MOIC remained at 1.1x (1.1x).
Expected value creation (Gross MOIC) remains "On plan" in EQT Infrastructure II and EQT Infrastructure IV, which means an expected Gross MOIC between 1.7x-2.2x. EQT Infrastructure III continues to develop "Above plan" as per December 31, 2020, which means that expected gross MOIC is >2.2x.
FTE+ at the end of the period amounted to 129 (106). The increase was driven by recruitments in anticipation of increased commitments to EQT Infrastructure V.
Adjusted revenue amounted to EUR 221m, corresponding to a decrease of 4% compared to EUR 231m in 2019. This was driven by, inter alia, lower carried interest and investment income, catch-up fees in EQT Infrastructure IV in 2019 and the step-down in EQT Infrastructure IV during 2020. The revenue contribution from EQT Infrastructure V was not material during 2020.
Gross segment result decreased to EUR 155m (EUR 177m).

Central provide services to the business segments such as capital raising, sustainability, fund management, technology and digitalisation, HR, risk management, compliance and fi nance. Items reported under Central have not been allocated to the business segments. Central external revenue arises from services provided to fund managers of EQT funds raised before 2012, as well as to certain other non-consolidated entities.
FTE+ at the end of the period amounted to 337 (323). The hirings were distributed across several areas but were predominately in EQT Technology and Fund management. Following high activity level throughout the organization and in preparation for the next steps of EQT's growth journey, investments in personnel will be accelerated in the coming quarters to futureproof e.g. Client relations and capital raising, EQT Technology and Fund management.
The result was driven by an increased number of FTE+ driving both personnel costs and other operating expenses along with accelerated strategic and operational projects. The increase refl ect a high activity across the Group in 2020 and includes certain items not expected to increase at a similar pace going forward, such as translation di erences on FX and VAT costs.

As part of the strategy to focus on value-added investment areas, an agreement to sell the business segment Credit to Bridgepoint was signed, as announced on June 18, 2020. The transaction subsequently closed in the fourth quarter of 2020.
The transaction did not have a material impact on EQT AB's central functions. In addition to the 39 FTE+ in Credit, as of time of closing, 6 FTE+ previously part of Central transfered from Central with the Credit business.
One-o costs for EQT of EUR 17m related to the transaction are reported as part of discontinued operations. For further information on Credit and the divestment see note 5.
Revenues for the period increased to EUR 709m (EUR 564m). The increase in revenues was partly driven by carried interest and investment income amounting to EUR 100m in 2020 compared to EUR 25m in 2019. Adjusted revenues of EUR 762m (EUR 570m) are adjusted by removing the fair value adjustment of acquired contractual rights to carried interest, see note 1.
Total operating expenses during the year amounted to EUR 369m (EUR 367m), driven by expansion and build-out of the organization.
EBITDA increased to EUR 340m (EUR 197m) corresponding to a margin of 48% (35%). Adjusted EBITDA amounted to EUR 385m (EUR 262m) corresponding to a margin of 51% (46%).
Depreciation and amortization amounted to EUR 35m (EUR 30m), primarily related to facility lease agreements including new o ces in Sydney and Paris and the Stockholm o ce as of May 2019.
Net fi nancial income and expenses amounted to EUR 6m (EUR -6m). This is primarily comprised of currency translation di erences and interest expenses relating to lease agreements according to IFRS 16.
Income taxes amounted to EUR 28m (EUR 12m) primarily driven by an increased profi t before tax.
Net income for the period from continuing operations increased to EUR 283m (EUR 149m). Adjustment items a ecting net income, including tax e ects, amounted to EUR 47m (EUR 53m). Adjusted net income for the period from continuing operations was EUR 330m (EUR 202m).
Earnings per share for continued operations before and after dilution amounted to EUR 0.297 (EUR 0.176) and EUR 0.297 (EUR 0.175), respectively. Adjusted earnings per share for continued operations before and after dilution amounted to EUR 0.346 (EUR 0.238) and EUR 0.346 (EUR 0.238), respectively.
Adjustment items a ecting EBITDA amounted to EUR 45m (EUR 66m) and relates to an adjustment of revenues for fair value step-up on the, in April 2019, acquired contractual right to carried interest as well as a reversal of part of the provision recorded during 2019 relating to the VAT ruling. Adjustment items a ecting EBITDA in 2019 related to preparatory work as well as bonuses in relation to the IPO process and the restructuring of the EQT AB Group as well as cost as a result of the VAT ruling.
Goodwill and Other intangible assets amounted to EUR 25m (EUR 37m). The decrease of EUR 11m is driven by amortization.
Property, plant and equipment amounted to EUR 113m (EUR 113m).
Financial investments increased by EUR 96m to EUR 167m (EUR 71m) primarily driven by increased investments from EQT AB Group into EQT funds as well as pre-fund investments as a result of the Growth strategy.
Current assets amounted to EUR 1,291m (EUR 1,193m). The increase in current assets was primarily driven by accrued income relating to recorded but not yet received carried interest. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period amounted to EUR 878m (EUR 909m).
Equity increased to EUR 1,263m (EUR 1,082m). The increase is primarily driven by current year's net income.
Non-current liabilities amounted to EUR 75m (EUR 78m).
Current liabilities amounted to EUR 285m (EUR 269m). The increase is mainly explained by increased bonus provisions as a result of an increased number of employees.
The parent company's profi t before tax amounted to SEK 1,159m (SEK 1,603m). The decrease is mainly explained by a timing e ect of dividends from subsidiaries. As a result of the decision prior year to set up a separate treasury entity the majority of the cash in EQT AB has now been transferred to EQT Treasury AB.

On 21 December 2020, EQT signed a fi ve-year EUR 1 billion revolving credit facility (RCF). The RCF will increase the fi nancial fl exibility of EQT and be used for corporate purposes, supporting the EQT AB Group's growth initiatives and long-term strategy. The RCF will incorporate a pricing mechanism linked to ESG-related objectives, lowering the interest rates if targets are met, and increasing them if targets are not achieved. It will thus be in line with EQT's overall approach of integrating sustainability throughout its activities, both on EQT AB Group level and within funds advised by EQT.
Fundraising of EQT IX (target fund size of EUR 14.75bn and hard cap of EUR 15.0bn) progressed according to plan albeit with an increasing share of work handled remotely and digitally.
During the first half of 2020 preparations intensified for EQT Infrastructure V. The target size for EQT Infrastructure V was set at EUR 12.5bn as announced on June 30, 2020 and is progressing according to plan. Hard cap was set at EUR 15.0bn.
On January 27, 2020 the Supreme Administrative Court of Sweden ("SAC") announced its decision on the appealed advance tax ruling regarding VAT for EQT AB's Swedish subsidiary EQT Partners AB. The SAC mainly subscribed to the approach of the Swedish Tax Agency why, as a result of current accounting practice, a one-o provision of EUR 32m was recorded in 2019. The decision is not expected to have a material impact on EQT AB Group's future fi nancial position or result. On January 8, 2021 the Swedish Tax Agency issued its reassessment decision, see further under Signifi cant events after December 31, 2020.
As announced in EQT's quarterly announcement on January 23, 2020, EQT initiated a review of strategic options for the business segment Credit. Following the review it was decided to divest the business segment Credit to Bridgepoint as communicated on June 18, 2020. Following the signed agreement and as communicated on October 26, 2020 the transaction was completed. The business segment Credit is reported as a discontinued operations together with capital gain and costs relating to the transaction, see note 5.
As for any organization, the COVID-19 development has brought uncertainty and disruption. The situation continues to be carefully monitored and the investment advisory teams are in close dialogue with respective portfolio companies. On the transaction side, EQT's thematic investment strategy has continued to identify and execute attractive opportunities and the portfolio value creation agenda is on track. Only a few of the EQT funds' portfolio companies operate in the hardest hit sectors, but a prolonged pandemic may have a negative impact across the portfolio.
On January 8, 2021 the Swedish Tax Agency issued its reassessment decision for the majority of the period for which EQT Partners AB had recorded a provision as a result of the VAT ruling announced by the Supreme Administrative Court on 27 January, 2020. The decision resulted in a reversal of EUR 8m in the provision recorded during 2019.
As announced on January 26, 2021 EQT has signed an agreement to acquire Exeter Property Group ("Exeter"), delivering on EQT's strategic ambition in Real Estate as well as EQT's plan to grow its presence in North America. Exeter has a strong performance and growth track-record and fi ts perfectly with EQT's culture and focus on valueadd strategies. With 37 local deal o ces, Exeter combines local execution with a global reach, mirroring EQT's local-with-locals approach. Exeter brings 60 new fund investors to EQT and adds USD 10.2 billion of AUM. Total consideration is USD 1,870 million on a cash and debt free basis, of which approximately USD 800 million to be satisfi ed through issue of new EQT shares. The proposed consideration is expected to equate to a mid-teens EBITDA multiple on a run-rate basis at completion. The transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to complete in the second quarter of 2021.
No signifi cant related party transactions have occurred during the period.
There have been no signifi cant changes in pledged assets and contingent liabilities compared to the latest annual report.
The EQT AB Group is exposed to a number of business, strategical, legal, tax, operational and fi nancial risks. The fi nancial risks are related to factors such as credit, liquidity, interest, revaluation and foreign exchange risks, which could lead to fi nancial 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 profi le.
The EQT AB Group is also, as all organizations, exposed to the uncertainty and disruption as a result of COVID-19. See further under Signifi cant events and transactions.
EQT AB (publ.), reg.no. 556849-4180, is a company domiciled in Sweden. The visiting address of the Company's o ce is Regeringsgatan 25, 111 53 Stockholm, Sweden. The registered postal address is Box 16409, 103 27 Stockholm, Sweden. The interim consolidated fi nancial statements for the full year and the six month ended on December 31, 2020 and 2019 comprise EQT AB and its direct or indirect subsidiaries, together referred to as the "EQT AB Group".
These interim consolidated fi nancial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and applicable additional provisions of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.
The interim report for the parent company has been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act chapter 9.
The accounting policies applied in these consolidated interim fi nancial statements and the interim separate fi nancial statements for the parent EQT AB are the same as those applied in the Annual Report 2019. However, as EQT AB has decided to divest the business segment Credit, the accounting standard IFRS 5 "Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued operations" has become applicable for the Group. IFRS 5 is not applicable for the parent company.
Discontinued operations consist of the business segment Credit, as further described in note 5 "Discontinued Operations".
"Net income for the period from discontinued operations" is presented as a single amount after tax at the end of the Consolidated income statement. Comparative fi gures are restated.
Part of the future investment strategy in EQT Growth, as announced in October, is focused on partnering with founders and management teams of market leading companies through growth investments in a range of technology, technology-enabled, and scalable businesses. As EQT AB Group might, using its own cash pre-fund, invest in entities whereby control can or will be achieved, the accounting for these subsidiaries has to be addressed. Previously EQT AB Group only had subsidiaries that were consolidated according to IFRS.
Based on the new strategy regarding future investment an evaluation of the Group from an IFRS 10 perspective has been performed and led to the conclusion that EQT AB Group is to be seen as an investment entity from an accounting perspective.
In accordance with IFRS 10 an investment entity is an entity whose business purpose is to invest funds solely for returns from capital appreciation, investment income or both and evaluate the
performance of its investments on a fair value basis. As an investment entity EQT AB is exempt from consolidating subsidiaries that are investments and measures them at fair value through profi t or loss instead. Subsidiaries that serve in a supporting function such as investment services continue to be consolidated in accordance with IFRS 10 and those that are not providing investment services will be recognized at fair value instead of being consolidated. The conclusion reached has only an e ect on the fi nancial statements going forward and there is no e ect on previous periods.
The e ect of issued standards and interpretations issued by the IASB or the IFRS Interpretations Committee not yet e ective is not expected to have any material e ect on the Group.
Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout this report may not add up precisely to the totals provided and percentages may not precisely refl ect the absolute fi gures.
EQT AB's Financial Reports are published in English and Swedish. In the case of inconsistencies in the translation, the Swedish original version shall prevail.
The Board of Directors proposes a dividend to the shareholders of SEK 2.40 per share for fiscal year 2020. The dividend is proposed to be paid out in two installments, SEK 1.20 with record date June 4, 2021 and SEK 1.20 with record date December 1, 2021.

EQT AB (PUBL) YEAR-END REPORT 2020 20
The CEO of EQT AB Group has been identifi ed as the chief operating decision maker. EQT AB Group is divided into operating segments based on how the CEO reviews and evaluates the operation. The operating segments correspond to the internal reporting used to assess perfor mance and to allocate resources.
During the period the segment Credit has been classifi ed as a discontinued operations and is therefore not included in the current or comparable period. For additional information please see note 5.
EQT's operations are divided into two business segments: Private Capital and Real Assets. The operations of both business segments consists of providing investment management services in the private investment markets. The investment management ser vices comprise i.a. structuring and investment advice, investment management and monitoring as well as reporting and administrative services.
The business segment Private Capital consists of the business lines Private Equity, Ventures, Growth and Public Value. The business segment Real Assets consists of business lines Infrastructure and Real Estate.
The CEO assesses the operating segments based on the line items presented below, primarily on revenue and Gross segment results. Segment revenues has been adjusted by removing the fair value adjustment of acquired contractual rights to carried interest. Accord ingly, the acquired contractual right to carried interest refl ects the sellers carrying amount adjusted to EQT AB Group's accounting poli cies, i.e. the accrued income excluding the fair value uplift made at the acquisition date in the consolidated accounts of EQT AB Group. The di erence between the carrying amount and fair value of accrued carried interest is primarily due to the constraint requirements of IFRS 15 of variable performance-based income refl ected through the application of the Group's prudent revenue recognition model for carried interest. Expenses directly incurred by each respective business segment are included in gross segment result, whereas items reported under Central have not been allocated to any business segment. Central consists of the fund management organization as well as EQT AB Group management, client relations and capital raising, EQT Technology and other specialist functions such as HR and fi nance. Central reve nue arises from services provided to fund managers of EQT funds raised before 2012, as well as to certain other non-consolidated enti ties.
Reconciliations consists of revenue adjustments (see above) as well as items a ecting comparability. Items a ecting comparability in 2020 relates to a reversal of part of the provision recorded during 2019 relating to the VAT ruling and transaction costs and capital gain relating to the sale of segment Credit. Items a ecting comparability in 2019 re lated to costs as a result of the preparatory work as well as bonuses in relation to the IPO process and the restructuring of the EQT AB Group including i.a. costs for legal, fi nancial, commercial and other advisors as well as a one-o provision of EUR 32m relating to the VAT ruling. Gross segment result together with central items and reconciliations constitute EQT AB Group's EBITDA. EBITDA is defi ned as Operating profi t excluding depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.

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 AB Group has commitments of future cash outfl ows based on signed agreements relating to committed amounts regarding fi nancial investments. At December 31, 2020, the EQT AB Group had remaining commitments to invest in multiple EQT funds and fund related vehicles of a total amount of EUR 257m (EUR 71m). The commitments are called over time, normally between one to fi ve years following the commitment.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
EQT AB Group measures fair values using the following fair value hierarchy that refl ects the signifi cance of the inputs used in making the measurements:
EQT AB Group measure investments in investment programs at fair value in the balance sheet. The fair values for these investments at December 31, 2020 was EUR 167m (EUR 66m) are using inputs that are not based on observable market data and are therefore classifi ed as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. There has not been any transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy during the periods presented.
The table below shows a reconciliation of level 3 fair values for fi nancial investments.
| EURm | 2020 | 2019 |
|---|---|---|
| Opening balance | 66 | 18 |
| Net change in fair value | 16 | 11 |
| Acquisitions | - | 16 |
| Investments | 93 | 29 |
| Divestments | -5 | -9 |
| Discontinued operations | -2 | - |
| Balance end of period | 167 | 66 |
Net change in fair value is included in "Carried interest and investment income" in the income statement.
Part of the purchase price in relation to the sale of segment Credit was variable and dependent on the size of future funds. Depending on the size of the future funds the variable compensation (earn-out) can range between EUR 0 and EUR 50m. EQT AB Group measure the earn-out to fair value in the balance sheet. The fair value at December 31, 2020 was EUR 20m and is calculated using inputs that are not based on observable market data and are therefore classifi ed as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. A change in the fair value will be included in "net income for the period from discontinued operations" in the income statement.
From an EQT AB Group perspective, fi nancial investments are normally measured at fair value applying the adjusted net asset values of the investment programs. A reasonable possible change of 10% in the adjusted net asset value would a ect the fair values of the investments at December 31, 2020 was EUR 17m (EUR 7m). The e ect would be recognized in profi t or loss.
Although the EQT AB Group believes that its estimates of fair values are appropriate, the use of di erent methodologies and di erent unobservable inputs in the underlying investments of investment programs, could lead to di erent measurements of fair value. Due to the number of unobservable input factors used in the valuation of the investment programs' direct investments and their broad range, in particular concerning the earnings multiples, a sensitivity analysis on these underlying unobservable input factors does not result in meaningful outcomes.
As part of the discontinued operations related to Credit, a reasonable possible change of 10% in the size of future funds would not have a material impact on the fair value of the earn-out as of December 31, 2020. The e ect would be recognized in net income for the period from discontinued operations.
EQT AB Group's other fi nancial instruments consist mainly of short-term receivables, accounts payable, deposits in commercial banks. The Group considers the carrying amounts of those fi nancial instruments to be reasonable approximations of their fair values.

1) In 2020 items affecting comparability of EUR 8m (Administrative expenses) relates to a reversal of part of the provision recorded during 2019 relating to the VAT ruling. In 2019 items affecting comparability of EUR -47m (EUR -32m on Administrative expenses and EUR -15m on External services) relates to costs as a result of the preparatory work as well as bonuses in relation to the IPO process and the restructuring of the EQT AB Group including i.a. costs for legal, financial, commercial and other advisors as well as a provision related to VAT.
As announced in EQT's quarterly announcement on January 23, 2020, EQT initiated a review of strategic options for the business segment Credit. Following the review it was decided to divest the business segment Credit and as communicated on June 18, 2020 a signed agreement with Bridgepoint was entered into. As communicated on October 26, 2020 the transaction was completed. As a result of the transaction EQT AB Group recognize a capital gain in discontinued operations of EUR 113m representing the di erence between the purchase price received and the carrying value of the net assets at the time of the transaction. Part of the purchase price is variable and dependent on the size of future funds. Depending on the size of the future funds the variable compensation (earn-out) can range between EUR 0 and EUR 50m. EQT AB Group measure the earn-out to fair value in the balance sheet, see note 3. The fair value (included in the capital gain) was EUR 20m. The business segment Credit is reported as a discontinued operations together with the capital gain and costs relating to the transaction.
Revenues during 2020, up until the completion of the transaction, amounted to EUR 30m compared to EUR 36m for the full year 2019.
EBITDA remained stable at EUR 13m (EUR 12m).

To increase the understanding of the development of the operations and the fi nancial position of EQT AB Group, EQT presents some alternative performance measures in addition to fi nancial measures defi ned by IFRS. EQT believes these measures provide a better understanding of the trends of the fi nancial performance and that such measures, which are not calculated in accordance with IFRS are useful information to investors combined with other measures that are calculated in accordance with IFRS.
These alternative performance measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute to performance measures derived in accordance with IFRS. In addition, such measures, as defi ned by EQT, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.
