Comments from the CEO

The year's second quarter opened with a sharp drop in the equity markets due to the US administration's surprising tariff manoeuvres. However, new information regarding the postponed introduction of the tariffs encouraged a relatively rapid recovery. The SIX RX rose 2.5 per cent during the second quarter. Bure's net asset value performance was weak during the quarter (-6.6 per cent). The Yubico share price decreased nearly 20 per cent following its 1Q report, due in part to orders that failed to meet market expectations. Vitrolife fell 13 per cent due to lower growth, while Mycronic fell marginally following a downward revision of its full-year forecast. Bure's net asset value per share fell 16.5 per cent during the first six months of the year.

During the second quarter, the portfolio companies' performance was somewhat mixed. Mycronic presented another strong report with a strong increase in sales, three new acquisitions and an upward revision of the full-year forecast. While Vitrolife reported organic growth in local currencies of +3 per cent, excluding divested operations, the margin was unfortunately lower than expected due primarily to currency effects. Xvivo reported a significant negative year-on-year deviation. An unexpected decline in its lung offering resulted in a 9 per cent drop in sales and a near halving of EBITDA. During the quarter Ovzon received a landmark order from the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) for its satellite communications solutions. The total order value (slightly more than SEK 1 billion over a 24-month period) represents a quadrupling of the company's order book. The share price rose by more than 40 per cent on the news, and by 74 per cent during the quarter.

There was a high level of transaction activity during the quarter. In early June we increased our ownership stake in Cavotec by 4.9 per cent,

corresponding to SEK 93 million. Most importantly, after a long process, we signed an agreement in June to acquire a majority of the shares in Silex Microsystems, together with a consortium of Swedish long-term investors and management. Silex is a global leader in MEMS foundry services (the production of semiconductors with mechanically movable components). The company has had a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17 per cent since 2015. For full-year 2024, the company had sales of SEK 1,226 million and an operating margin (EBIT) of 28 per cent. Silex has been majority-owned by a Chinese listed company since 2015. In light of the increasingly complex geopolitical environment, we believe that a Swedish majority shareholder can accelerate the company's growth opportunities. Bure invested approximately SEK 917 million for a 17 per cent ownership stake. As part of the financing, minor positions in Mycronic and Ovzon were divested after the end of the period. Silex is an exciting addition to Bure's portfolio – a leading high-tech company operating in a growing niche market, with long-standing customer relationships and a proven track record of profitable growth under the leadership of strong entrepreneurs.

Furthermore, each portfolio company shall be financially independent from the Parent Company, which means that the Parent Company is not financially liable for portfolio companies' obligations, and that portfolio companies are responsible for their own financing.

Financing of respective portfolio companies shall be appropriate to each company's specific circumstances, such that overall risk is managed through a balance between operational and financial risk.

Bure's 2024 annual report provides a detailed description of the Group's risk exposure and risk management in the administration report and in Note 15. Bure's assessment is that no significant risks have arisen other than those described in the annual report and in this interim report. This interim report has not been subject to review by the auditors.

The investment entity's financial assets and liabilities are classified in accordance with IFRS 13 in the following three categories

Level 1: Listed prices in an active market for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Other observable data for the asset or liability other than listed prices included in Level 1, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Data for the asset or liability that are not in their entirety based on observable market data.

Bure has chosen to market value all financial assets based on International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines (IPEV). The guidelines describe a number of methods for determining the fair value of each holding. Considerable emphasis is placed on recently completed market transactions in the company, e.g., share issues or the acquisition of existing shares. Transactions in comparable companies can also be used. Other valuation methods include discounting of forecast cash flows with relevant discount rates and applying valuation multiples such as EV/Sales, EV/EBITDA, EV/EBITA, EV/EBIT, PER and P/AuM which are adjusted to take into account differences in market, business, and risk. In general, a liquidity discount is also applied for unlisted assets. Valuation takes place on an ongoing basis and is published in conjunction with quarterly reports.
