*Including reinvested dividend.
The day after Britain's referendum we woke up to a new reality, with the British people voting in favor of an exit from the European Union. The result of this referendum has sent a shock wave of turbulence through the financial markets. On the first day of trading after the referendum, the Stockholm Stock Exchange lost 8%, but has since recovered.
The uncertainty surrounding the consequences of the referendum's outcome in political circles and on the real economy will likely remain for a long time. The UK is an important market for several of our portfolio companies, which will now have to work with somewhat changed conditions going forward.
Personally I feel that a cohesive and well-working EU is important for building competitiveness in Europe and thereby for creating favorable conditions for European companies in the ever-growing global competition. Hopefully the situation that has now arisen will compel the EU to focus on the most central issues facing its citizens.
On June 30, 2016, net asset value amounted to SEK 69.3 billion, or SEK 160 per share, which is unchanged since the end of 2015 and an increase of 3% including reinvested dividend. During the same period, we sold stocks for a net value of SEK 0.9 billion. At the end of the period, the portfolio value was SEK 80.5 billion, and net debt was SEK 11.2 billion, corresponding to a debt-equities ratio of 14%. This represents a decrease in the debtequities ratio by 1 percentage point during the first half of the year. The total return for Industrivärden's Class A and C shares was -4% and -3%, respectively, compared with -4% for the return index.
During the first half year our investments in Sandvik, SSAB and Volvo – companies that are in the midst of major change processes – performed better than the stock market. The same applies for SCA and Skanska. Handelsbanken and ICA Gruppen was in line with the market. Ericsson, however, performed below the market.
The Swedish economy remains strong, which is having a positive effect above all on the portfolio companies with a large share of local business. In many cases the more internationally active portfolio companies are encountering weak demand. The tough market situation is especially tangible for companies that manufacture and sell investment goods. Low capacity utilization and uncertain future growth prospects are damping the willingness to invest in
several sectors. Companies are dealing with this situation through cost-cutting, continued automation, innovation and an increased service/aftermarket content. As a longterm active owner we attach great importance to ensuring that our portfolio companies have a keen ability to adapt, that they capitalize on future opportunities, and that they have a favorable financial position and flexibility.
Several of Industrivärden's portfolio companies are showing stable development, which is illustrated by the fact that they have altogether generated a favorable dividend yield for their shareholders. At mid-year the dividend yield for the portfolio companies was 3.8%.
As a long-term active owner in SSAB we subscribed for our portion of the rights issue of in total approximately SEK 5 billion that was carried out at the end of June 2016. The rights issue, together with refinancing activities and internal measures, creates the financial stability needed to further develop the company in a tough steel market. We have a positive view of SSAB's strategic plan, which takes aim at greater specialization and attaining leading positions in selected niches.
The very core of active ownership involves participating in board work and monitoring and evaluating our portfolio companies and their business environments from a longterm ownership perspective. Based on our conclusions we are engaged in an ongoing dialog with our portfolio companies in an effort to enhance value creation over time. Parallel with this, we are also analyzing a number of potential new investments in stock market companies. We are not in any hurry, however, and will act when the conditions are right.
The board composition in our portfolio companies is of vital importance. With the annual meeting season now behind us, I can affirm that a number of constructive changes have been made in the boards of our portfolio companies. Evaluating and adapting these boards to the situations that the companies find themselves in is a continuous process that we are focusing on with utmost importance.

Industrivärden conducts long-term asset management that creates value through active ownership. The long-term goal is to increase net asset value and thereby generate a return for Industrivärden's shareholders that exceeds the market's required rate of return. Taking into account the risk profile of the portfolio's investments, the shareholders are to be given a total return which over time is higher than the average for the Stockholm Stock Exchange.
In February 2016 Industrivärden's board adopted a new, refined strategy. The aim is to enhance the return on Industrivärden's stock over time. Important changes include a stronger corporate governance model, a broader investment universe, and greater capacity and flexibility to act over time.

This information is information that AB Industrivärden is obliged to make public pursuant to the EU Market Abuse Regulation and the Securities Markets Act. The information was submitted for publication, through the agency by the Head of Corporate Communication stated above, at 10:00 a.m. CET on July 6, 2016.
Following is the auditors' review report of interim financial information prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and Ch. 9 of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.
We have reviewed the interim report for AB Industrivärden (publ) for the period January 1–June 30, 2016. The Board of Directors and President are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Report 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 is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing (IAS) 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.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act for the Group, and in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act for the Parent Company.

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as endorsed by the EU, and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The Parent Company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with RFR 2 – Accounting for Legal Entities, and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. New or amended IFRSs and IFRIC interpretations have not had any effect on the Group's or Parent Company's earnings for financial position.
The definitions for the alternative performance measures net asset value, debt-equities ratio, market value of the equities portfolio and interestbearing net debt are provided in the 2015 Annual Report. The equity ratio is defined as equity in relation to total assets. These alternative performance measures are essential for the understanding and evaluation of an investment company's business.
In accordance with IFRS 13, financial instruments are measured at fair value according to a three level hierarchy. Classification is based on input data that is used in measuring the instruments. Instruments in Level 1 are valued according to quoted prices for identical instruments in an active market. Instruments in Level 2 are valued in a valuation model which uses input data that are directly or indirectly observable in the market. Instruments in Level 3 are valued using a valuation technique based on input data that are not observable in a market.
Responsibility for fair value measurement, which is based on documentation produced by the company's risk manager, rests with management. ISDA master agreements exist with the pertinent counterparties.

No changes have been made between levels compared with the preceding year.
The dominant risk in Industrivärden's business is share price risk, i.e., the risk of a decrease in value caused by changes in share prices. A 1% change in the share price of the holdings in the equities portfolio as per June 30, 2016, would have affected its market value by approximately +/– SEK 800 M.
During the first half of the year 2016, dividend income was received from associated companies.
The 2016 Annual General Meeting was held on May 9, at which the following resolutions, among others, were made. The dividend was set at SEK 5.00 (6.25) per share. Pär Boman, Christian Caspar, Bengt Kjell, Nina Linander, Fredrik Lundberg, Annika Lundius and Lars Pettersson were re-elected as directors on the Board. Helena Stjernholm, who is CEO of Industrivärden and director of Ericsson, Sandvik and Volvo was elected as new director. Fredrik Lundberg was re-elected as Chairman of the Board.
On July 1, 2016, Fredric Calles left Industrivärden's Executive Management team and his position as Head of the Equities Market function. This is a result of the company's refined strategy entailing a stronger focus on the investment operations and active ownership.
