CEO statement

Dear fellow shareholders,

During the second quarter, our adjusted net asset value reached a record level of SEK 394 bn., adjusted for dividends an increase of 5 percent, while our total shareholder return was 1 percent. The SIXRX return index gained 5 percent.

Overall, global business activity has remained favorable during the first part of the year. We have, however, seen several leading indicators turning lower. Looking ahead, we see a number of opportunities, including technological development and improving wealth in many emerging markets. The biggest risks relate to protectionism and escalating global trade wars.

Activity within Investor and our portfolio remained high. Following the spin-off from Atlas Copco, Epiroc became a new listed core investment. We closed the acquisitions of two subsidiaries, Piab and Sarnova, and we continued to commit capital to new EQT funds.

In total, EQT and the subsidiaries within Patricia Industries performed well during the quarter.

  • The value of our EQT investments increased by 9 percent in constant currency.
  • Mölnlycke grew its operating profit by 10 percent.
  • We closed the acquisitions of Piab and Sarnova, which reported organic growth of 10 percent and 8 percent respectively during the quarter.
  • Including Piab and Sarnova, our major subsidiaries reported organic growth of 6 percent in constant currency, while operating profit grew by 9 percent. Excluding Laborie, as its reported figures do not currently reflect underlying performance, operating profit grew by 18 percent, driven by strong operational performance, and a weakening SEK.

Listed Core Investments

For our listed core investments, the combined total return amounted to 4 percent during the quarter, compared to 5 percent for the overall market. Sobi and Ericsson contributed strongly to the overall total return, while Electrolux weighed on performance.

Activity within our companies remained high. Epiroc became our 12th listed core investment following its successful spinoff from Atlas Copco. Evaluating corporate structures is a natural part of our engaged ownership strategy, and we believe that the spin-off will be clearly value-enhancing for both Atlas Copco and Epiroc over time.

Patricia Industries

Mölnlycke reported organic growth of 3 percent in constant currency, mainly driven by Wound Care and Emerging Markets. Profitability improved and the company also distributed EUR 250 m. to Patricia Industries. After the end of the quarter, Mölnlycke acquired the German company SastoMed, further strengthening its offering within active wound care.

Laborie's organic growth was strong, partially boosted by the shipment of products that were delayed in the first quarter. Profitability remained impacted by significant restructuring costs as well as costs related to the acquisition of Cogentix. We expect a more normal profitability level during the

second half of the year. With streamlined European operations and Cogentix' offering, we see good potential for future value creation in Laborie.

BraunAbility reported strong organic growth and significant profitability improvement. In Permobil, all business areas and geographies grew, with profit growing faster than revenue.

Our new subsidiary Sarnova has clear leadership in attractive niches in the U.S. healthcare market. We see good growth potential, and we look forward to working with the company to help develop it further. During the quarter, organic growth amounted to 8 percent, and profit growth exceeded sales growth.

We also closed the acquisition of Piab. Providing critical premium products in an attractive market niche, we see substantial long-term growth opportunities, driven by the trend towards increased automation in many industries. We will utilize our broad network and industrial experience to support Piab in achieving profitable growth. Organic growth was 10 percent during the quarter. The EBITA margin amounted to 26 percent, somewhat impacted by changed product mix and inventory step-up from two recent acquisitions.

Aleris' profit was slightly lower than last year. The company's focus remains on operational improvement and restructuring initiatives to sustainably improve performance.

EQT

EQT made several exits and a number of new investments in newly-launched funds, including the first within EQT VIII. The value of our EQT investments increased by 9 percent in constant currency. Net cash flow to Investor amounted to SEK -0.7 bn., as a number of drawdowns were made, while proceeds from several exits are still to be distributed.

Near-term focus on operational performance

During the first half of 2018, we have strengthened our ownership in Ericsson and added two new subsidiaries for a total of SEK 11 bn. We have also paid approximately SEK 6 bn. in dividend, with approximately SEK 3 bn. to be paid out in November. At the same time, our cash flow has been strong, including the SEK 2.6 bn. distribution from Mölnlycke, SEK 1.7 bn. in mandatory redemption from Atlas Copco and SEK 7.5 bn. received in dividends from our listed core investments. As a consequence, our balance sheet remains strong, with leverage of just above 5 percent, at the low end of our 5-10 percent target range.

Near-term, we will focus on supporting our companies in delivering strong operational performance. Longer-term, our strategic direction remains firm, with our cash flow enabling us to continue to invest in attractive opportunities and fund a steadily rising dividend. I remain confident in the strength of this foundation, providing us with ample opportunity to generate an attractive long-term total return to you, dear fellow shareholders.

Patricia Industries – valuation overview

In addition to reported values, which are in accordance with IFRS, Investor provides estimated market values of 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 Core Investments and our major wholly-owned subsidiaries and 3 Scandinavia.

While the estimated market values might not necessarily reflect our view of the intrinsic values, they reflect how the stock market values similar companies.

The estimated market values are mainly based on valuation multiples, typically Enterprise Value (EV)/LTM1) 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 by Patricia Industries' share of capital.

Operating profit is adjusted to reflect, for example, pro forma effects of closed add-on acquisitions and certain nonrecurring 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.

Investments made less than 18 months ago are valued at the invested amount.

Acquisitions (business combinations)

Investor's acquisition of Piab

On June 14, 2018, Patricia Industries, a part of Investor AB, acquired shares corresponding to 89 percent of the votes in the Swedish company Piab Group AB. Piab is a leading gripping and moving solutions company that develops and manufactures a complete line of products such as vacuum

pumps and ejectors, suction cups and vacuum conveyors used for gripping and moving applications in automated manufacturing and logistics processes. With its broad network of seasoned industrialists and experience within the engineering sector, Patricia Industries is well positioned to support Piab in its progress. The consideration amounted to SEK 4,713 m. and was paid in cash.

In the preliminary purchase price allocation, goodwill amounts to SEK 3,507 m. The goodwill recognized for the acquisition corresponds to Piab's position, with support from Patricia Industries, to increase penetration in existing markets and broadening of the product portfolio.

The goodwill recognized is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. There are agreements with the majority of the other shareholders of Piab that give rise to a put option for their holdings. This part of the other shareholder's holdings are therefore measured at fair value and reported as a long-term liability in the consolidated Balance Sheet. The part of the shareholder's holdings, without put options, is reported as "non-controlling interest".

Transaction related costs amounted to SEK 108 m. and derive from external legal fees and due diligence expenses. The costs have been included in the line item Administrative, research and development and other operating cost in the Group's consolidated income statement.

For the one month period from the acquisition date until June 30, 2018, Piab contributed net sales of SEK 110 m. and profit of SEK -97 m. to the Group's result. If the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2018, management estimates that consolidated net sales for the Investor Group would have increased by SEK 497 m. and consolidated profit for the year would have increased by SEK 26 m. The consolidated profit for the year includes significant seller's costs related to Patricia Industries' acquisition of Piab. The purchased price allocation is preliminary.

Investor's acquisition of Sarnova

On April 4, 2018, Patricia Industries, a part of Investor AB, acquired 86 percent of the leading U.S. healthcare product specialty distributor Sarnova Holdings, Inc. With its longterm value creation objectives and experience within both healthcare products and services, Patricia Industries is well positioned to support Sarnova in its progress. The consideration amounted to SEK 4,297 m. and was paid in cash.

In the preliminary purchase price allocation, goodwill amounts to SEK 4,117 m. The goodwill recognized for the acquisition corresponds to Sarnova's position, with support from Patricia Industries, to further strengthen its capacity to serve their customers, vendors and employees and fulfill its mission to save and improve patients' lives.

The goodwill recognized is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. There are agreements with the other shareholders of Sarnova that give rise to a put option for their holdings. Due to this, no non-controlling interest is reported. The part of the value of Sarnova attributable to the other shareholders is instead reported as a long-term liability in the consolidated Balance Sheet.

Transaction related costs amounted to SEK 182 m. and derive from external legal fees and due diligence expenses. The costs have been included in the line item Administrative, research and development and other operating cost in the Group's consolidated income statement.

For the three month period from the acquisition date until June 30, 2018, Sarnova contributed net sales of SEK 1,186 m. and profit of SEK -171 m. to the Group's result. If the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2018, management estimates that consolidated net sales for the Investor Group would have increased by SEK 1,352 m. and consolidated profit for the year would have decreased by SEK 144 m. The consolidated profit for the year includes significant seller's costs related to Patricia Industries' acquisition of Sarnova. The purchased price allocation is preliminary.

Laborie's acquisition

On April 23, 2018, Laborie completed the acquisition of Cogentix Medical, a global medical technology company that provides proprietary, innovative technologies to a number of specialty markets including urology. The acquisition significantly strengthens Laborie's product offering within urology diagnostics and therapeutics and also adds channel scale. The consideration amounted to SEK 2,083 m. and was paid using cash and debt.

In the preliminary purchase price allocation, goodwill amounts to SEK 1,119 m. The goodwill recognized for the acquisition corresponds to the complementary strengths of the companies in the field of urology diagnostics and therapeutics. The goodwill recognized is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Transaction related costs amounted to SEK 175 m. and derive from external legal fees and due diligence expenses. The costs have been included in the line item Administrative, research and development and other operating cost in the Group's consolidated income statement.

For the period from the acquisition date until June 30, 2018, Cogentix contributed net sales of SEK 94 m. and profit of SEK -12 m. to the Group's result. If the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2018, management estimates that consolidated net sales for the Investor Group would have increased by SEK 150 m. and consolidated profit for the period would have decreased by SEK 78 m.

Pledged assets and contingent liabilities

Total pledged assets amount to SEK 14.9 bn. (9.4), of which SEK 12.1 bn. refers to pledged assets in the subsidiaries BraunAbility, Laborie and Sarnova, related to outstanding loans corresponding to SEK 0.8 bn., SEK 2.5 bn. and SEK 3.2 bn.

Three of Investor AB's subsidiaries have historically claimed deductions for certain interest expenses, which have been denied by the tax authorities. The recent appeals to the Administrative Court of Appeal were denied in May 2018. Investor still believes that these deductions have been claimed rightfully and has appealed the decision to the Supreme Administrative Court. However, the costs that were previously reported as other contingent liabilities, SEK 740 m. (740), have now been expensed.

There were no other material changes in contingent liabilities during the period.

Risk and risk management

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 development of the global economy is an important uncertainty factor in assessment of near-term market fluctuations. The development of the financial markets also affects the various unlisted holdings' businesses 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, also are exposed to legal/regulatory risks and political risks, for example political decisions on healthcare budgets and industry regulations.

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 instructions.

Investor's risk management, risks and uncertainties are described in detail in the Annual Report, (Administration report and Note 3). No significant changes have been assessed subsequently, aside from changes in the current macroeconomy and thereto related risks.

Accounting policies

For the Group, this Interim Report was 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. Except where stated below, 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.

New accounting policies applied from 2018

The new standards IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers are applied from January 1, 2018. The new accounting policies are described below. For tables presenting the effects of the new accounting policies, see page 29.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments has replaced IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 presents a model for classification and measurement of financial instruments and an expected loss model for the impairment of financial assets and introduces significant changes to hedge accounting.

Classification and measurement of financial assets related to debt instruments is based on the business model for managing the financial asset and the characteristics of the contractual cash flows of the asset. Investments in equity instruments are classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss. Besides some changes in category names, these changes have had no effect on the valuation of Investor's financial assets. The IFRS 9 accounting model for financial liabilities is broadly the same as that in IAS 39.

A loss allowance is recognized for all financial assets classified as measured at amortized cost. This loss allowance is based on expected credit losses and has had no significant impact on the accounting for Investor's financial assets.

IFRS 9 relaxes the requirements for hedge effectiveness and makes it possible to define the currency basis spread as a cost of hedging. Investor applies this definition from January, 2018. The currency basis spread is therefore accounted for in Other Comprehensive Income instead of in the financial net as before. It is also accumulated in a separate reserve for hedging costs in equity. There has been no restatement of comparatives.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers is a new standard for revenue that has replaced all existing standards and interpretations on revenue. Revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services.

The new standard has not had any significant effect for the Group, neither with regard to the amounts recognized as revenue, nor the timing of when revenue is recognized. Areas most impacted are classification and accrual of dealer commissions. Investor has applied the new standard prospectively and therefore used the transition method to apply the standard retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2018.

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 2017 and on www.investorab.com/investors-media/investorin-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 page 30. 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.

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, 2018. 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

Except changes due to IFRS 9 as described on page 18 and page 29, 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 29, Financial Instruments, in Investor's Annual Report 2017.

Valuation techniques, level 3

Group 6/30 2018 Fair value, SEK m. Valuation technique Input Range
Shares and participations 24 859 Last round of financing n.a. n.a.
Comparable companies EBITDA multiples n.a.
Comparable companies Sales multiples 1.7 – 5.7
Comparable transactions Sales multiples 0.4 – 7.1
NAV n.a. e.t.
Other financial investments 46 Discounted cash flow Market interest rate n.a.
Long-term receivables included in net debt 2 214 Discounted cash flow Market interest rate n.a.
Long-term interest bearing liabilities 47 Discounted cash flow Market interest rate n.a.
Other provisions and liabilities 2 195 Discounted cash flow n.a.

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.

The unlisted part of Financial Investments' portfolio companies, corresponds to 68 percent of the portfolio value. 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 the Financial Investments portfolio value of approximately SEK 300 m. For the derivatives, a parallel shift of the interest rate curve by one percentage point would affect the value by approximately SEK 1,000 m.

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
