Overview annual average performance

President's comments

Our net asset value rose by 5.7 percent during the first quarter, Total shareholder return was 5.8 percent, a touch better than the SIXRX at 5.0 percent. From this quarter, we adapt to the new NASDAQ OMX guidelines by publishing a simplified Interim Management Statement instead of full quarterly results. We hope you agree with our view that this is a good format to digest the information presented.

The macro pundits have been en vogue for the past decade. This may change now. The current geopolitical situation is very serious, and it may impact the global economy. For sure, it will increase the uncertainty for our export companies, as geopolitical risk now has to be reassessed.

Core Investments

As in the past few quarters, we were cautious with investing in the listed portfolio. We acquired some shares in ABB.

Mölnlycke Health Care continued to perform well, with strong operating cash flow. Lower interest expenses further help cash flow to equity. Net debt is down to 2.0x 12-month rolling EBITDA. Mölnlycke could distribute capital to us now, but with the high return on capital employed, new investments in growth remain the top priority. As always, we look for both organic opportunities and synergistic acquisitions. Early in the second quarter, we will buy out most of the shares in the Management Participation Program. The remaining shares will be acquired by the current Board, management and key employees. There is not a loss of economic value in this transaction, as we pay market value for the shares, but book keeping rules require us to take a charge as the price exceeds our reported value. Book keeping is truly interesting.

Aleris' management is getting a firmer grip on the operational issues. This year has started out better than last, but due to Easter, the first and second quarter should be looked at combined. Improving the operations within the Stockholm specialist hospitals and primary care remains key. Norway, Denmark, and Diagnostics perform well. Aleris also continues to pursue attractive investments in, for example the well-performing Care business, where both existing and new contracts have contributed.

Permobil continues to progress well. In addition to upgraded product platforms, the company is sharpening its focus on complex rehab via the launch of the Virtual Seating Coach, a software system that maximizes the therapeutic effect of the wheelchairs by, for example, reminding the user to tilt the wheelchair to relieve pressure and improve posture. Additional growth is an integral part of our value creation plan. Seeds are planted in emerging markets, the European operation is regrouped to focus on growing sales and more "feet on the street" are added in the U.S. to drive sales.

Financial Investments

During the quarter, the net distribution from EQT to Investor was SEK 868 m. The value change was 9 percent in constant currency. The strong performance was supported by the successful IPO of ISS.

Investor Growth Capital (IGC) distributed SEK 362 m. to Investor. In constant currency, the value change was 9 percent, driven by the IPO in Shanghai of NS Focus. The paper gain on NS Focus so far is very handsome. However, the Chinese capital market has some interesting features, including a 3-year IPO lock-up period.

Over the past year, we have established a limited portfolio of smaller investments within Financial Investments. While we are gradually winding down the existing IGC portfolio, some of its holdings have value creation potential that we believe is not yet fully captured by an outright sale. We have

decided to retain those holdings a little longer. Ideally, a few of them might become long-term holdings. Most, though, are likely to be divested. During the quarter, one of these, Aptalis, was divested at 3x invested capital.

Building businesses is a long-term proposition

We welcome the current discussion about short-termism. In a world where news spreads faster than the blink of an eye and investor preferences adjust to the smallest nuances in what is said and written, companies may be tempted to take actions with short-term payoff. Such actions may not maximize the intrinsic value. The intrinsic value is the net present value of all future expected cash flows, not just those in the next quarter or even the next few years.

One of the benefits for a company of having a sizeable, committed and involved shareholder is the ability to focus on doing what is industrially right. Investing in R&D, new manufacturing facilities or employee development can hurt short-term performance. Expanding a sales force initially generates more costs than revenues, but as the productivity improves, it contributes to profitability. Investments like this ensure the creation of intrinsic value and long-term distribution potential. We like that!

Over the last few years, companies have built up strong balance sheets. We encourage our companies to use theirs to intelligently invest in strengthening their existing businesses and new opportunities. Investing in NPV positive growth opportunities is vital to strengthen competitiveness. However, if the companies fail to find positive net present value investment opportunities, excess cash should be returned to the owners, who can deploy it into new opportunities. A sound capital structure, with the right level of leverage, is a core element of any strategic plan.

It is important that a long-term view does not allow shortterm performance to be ignored. The long-term is indeed made up of many short terms. It is difficult, but companies need to balance near-term performance with investing for long-term success. That is the reason for us being long-term in our vision, but impatient in our follow-up.

Investor platform

For a company to survive long-term, investing in the business is critical. The ability to adapt our companies and portfolio to the future has been a key element of Investor's success for nearly 100 years. Renewing the portfolio and investing in NPV positive projects is really core business. Taking risk is the only way to create real industrial value, but it will certainly lead to mishaps. The only way to avoid this is by making no decisions. Airplanes are certainly safest parked at the gate, but that is not what they are made for.

Our strategy has created attractive long-term value for our shareholders. SEK 1,000 invested in Investor 20 years ago is worth SEK 12,500 today. The same investment in the SIXRX total return index is worth SEK 9,600. While some of this value creation, especially in the listed holdings, can be replicated, we believe that our model can create repeatable, unique value. We have a large portfolio of unlisted companies that have generated returns above their cost of capital. Our sponsor economics in EQT have created unique value. The same goes for our timing of add-ons in listed companies, and our strategic exits have been made at attractive premiums.

We believe that our model will continue to serve us well. As before, we continue to work relentlessly to grow our net asset value, operate efficiently and pay a steadily rising dividend to you, fellow shareholder.

Events after the end of the quarter

Finalization of repurchase of shares in Aleris

During the second quarter 2014, Investor will finalize the previously announced repurchase of Aleris' Management Participation Program (MPP), by transferring the final funds to the former participants.

Acquisition of shares in Mölnlycke Health Care

In April 2014, the participants, approximately 140 people, in Mölnlycke Health Care's Management Participation Program have agreed to sell all of their shares under the program. A new program has been set in place for current Board members, management and key employees, approximately 70 people in total.

In total, Investor will acquire shares in Mölnlycke Health Care from more than 140 participants for a total amount of EUR 112 m, of which EUR 74 m. from the Board, management and key employees. The participants in the new program will invest EUR 35 m., of which Board members and management EUR 15 m. Gunnar Brock is one of the participants of the Management Participation Program since his appointment as Chairman of Mölnlycke Health Care in 2007, prior to his election to the Board of Directors of Investor in 2009. The total investment by Gunnar Brock under the program is approximately EUR 0.7 m. As disclosed in the Interim Report January-March 2012, Gunnar Brock divested part of his holding to Investor in March 2012. As part of the transactions described above, Gunnar Brock will sell his remaining holding of shares to Investor for approximately net EUR 1.9 m. and reinvest EUR 0.4 m. in the new program.

Acquisitions (business combinations)

On March 4, 2014, Investor acquired an additional 44 percent of the capital and votes of the Swedish biotech company Affibody Medical AB (publ). The company is focused on developing next generation biopharmaceuticals based on its unique proprietary technology platforms: Affibody® molecules and AlbumodTM. Following the acquisition, Investor owns 68 percent of the company. The consideration from Investor amounted to SEK 109 m. and was paid in cash.

In the preliminary Purchase Price Allocation, intangible assets amount to SEK 211 m. and consist of customer contracts that are depreciated over the life of the contracts.

Proposed dividend

As communicated in the Year-end Report 2013, the Board of Directors and the President have proposed a dividend to shareholders of SEK 8.00 per share for fiscal year 2013 (7.00). The proposal is based on the stated dividend policy to declare dividends attributable to a high percentage of dividends received from listed Core Investments, as well as to make a distribution from other net assets corresponding to a yield in line with the equity market. Investor AB's goal is also to generate a steadily rising annual dividend.

Annual General Meeting

Investor AB's Annual General Meeting will be held at 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, May 6, 2014, at the City Conference Centre, Barnhusgatan 12-14, Stockholm. The registration commences at 1:30 p.m. The "Investor Dialog" begins at 2.00 p.m., where Investor's Chairman of the Board Jacob

Wallenberg and CEO Börje Ekholm, are available for dialog and questions.

Notification of participation in the Annual General Meeting can be given until April 29, 2014. Notification can be given on Investor's website, (www.investorab.com), or by phoning +46 8 611 2910. Additional information about Investor's Annual General Meeting is available on Investor's website.

Repurchase of own shares

As it has during the past 14 years, Investor's Board of Directors has decided to propose to the 2014 Annual General Meeting that it should extend the authorization of the Board to decide on the repurchase of the company's shares. Under such a mandate, the Board would be given the opportunity until the next Annual General Meeting – provided it deems it appropriate – to decide on the repurchase of the company's shares. In accordance with current legislation, repurchases can total up to 10 percent of the total shares outstanding in Investor. Any repurchases may be effected over the stock exchange or through offerings to shareholders. It is also proposed that the Board's mandate include the possibility to transfer repurchased shares including transfers to participants in Investor's Long-term variable remuneration program. See also "Long-term variable remuneration program" below.

Long-term variable remuneration program

As in the previous eight years, the Board of Directors will propose a share-based, long-term variable remuneration program for Investor's employees at the 2014 Annual General Meeting.

The program will be substantially identical to the program for 2013. It is proposed that the long-term variable remuneration program be hedged as before through the repurchase of the company's shares, or through total return swaps. The Board's final proposal was announced in the Notice of the 2014 Annual General Meeting.

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 29 in Investor's Annual Report 2013.

Valuation techniques

Group 3/31 2014 Fair value Valuation technique Input Range
Shares and participations 18 210 Last round of financing n.a. n.a.
EBITDA multiples 0.8 – 14.75
Comparable companies Sales multiples 0.23 – 15.1
Comparable transactions Sales multiples 1.0 – 10.8
NAV n.a. n.a.
Long-term receivables included in net debt 99 Present value computation Market interest rate n.a.
Long-term interest bearing liabilities 277 Present value computation Market interest rate n.a.

All valuations in level 3 are based on assumptions and judgments that management consider 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.

A significant part of IGC's portfolio companies are valued based on comparable companies, and the value is dependent on the level of the multiples. A 10 percent change of the multiples would have an effect on the portfolio value of IGC of approximately SEK 400 m. For the derivatives, a parallel shift of the interest rate curve upwards by one percentage point would affect the value positively by approximately SEK 850 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 categorized on three levels, 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

The Group's loans are valued at amortized cost.

Fair value on loans amounts to SEK 46,481 m.
