President's comments

During the first quarter, the Stockholm Stock Exchange's return index, SIXRX, advanced by 11 percent. Our net asset value grew by 7 percent, and the total return on our share was 14 percent.

Core Investments – several investments made

Our listed Core Investments are generally in good shape. We expect to receive dividends of SEK 4.7 bn. during 2012, an increase from the SEK 4.0 bn. received during 2011.

Mölnlycke Health Care continues to perform well. Growth in the quarter was a bit slower in Europe, primarily due to austerity measures in Southern Europe. North America and the Asia-Pacific continued to show good growth. Growth in the Surgical division has picked up. Mölnlycke continues to invest in R&D to sustain a solid pace of new product introductions and technology leadership, as well as putting more "feet on the street".

During the quarter, we acquired EUR 183 m. of Mölnlycke Health Care's mezzanine debt, paying interest at EURIBOR + 7.25 percent on the nominal value, of which half is paid in kind. Not only is this an attractive investment, but it also increases our flexibility about the future capital structure in the company. We now own EUR 208 m. in total, providing us with an attractive interest income.

In Aleris, the integration process of recent major acquisitions, Proxima (Sweden) and Hamlet (Denmark), continued successfully, with synergies gradually realized.

Around the end of the quarter, Aleris closed on three tuck-in acquisitions with good strategic fit. On April 2, Aleris took over the operations of the Bollnäs hospital, a contract that spans up to nine years. We injected SEK 300 m. in equity into Aleris to finance acquisitions and to maintain a balanced debt-to-equity ratio.

The tender for the S:t Göran hospital was won by the incumbent operator Capio. Of course, we do not like losing a bid, but now we can focus on all other available opportunities instead. SEK 6 m. in costs related to the bid was expensed this quarter.

Solid progress in EQT and IGC

Investor Growth Capital (IGC) had another strong quarter with several successful exits, resulting in a SEK 257 m. distribution to Investor. Following our final SEK 750 m. capital contribution in early 2012, IGC is now a selfsustaining operation. EQT also performed well, generating SEK 1.4 bn. in net cash flow to Investor.

3 Scandinavia continues to make good progress and added 84,000 subscribers during the quarter, mainly driven by sustained demand for smartphones. As operating leverage remains strong, continued growth is strongly value-creating.

Gambro's Board and the new CEO, has established a plan to accelerate growth and improve margins. The plan includes strengthening the monitor platform, investments in dialyzer production capacity and expansion of the sales force in the Acute business, an area in which Gambro is the undisputed leader. It also includes increased emphasis on developing the presence in emerging markets, where growth in the patient population is expected to remain high. We will financially support the execution of the plan as we are convinced that it will strengthen Gambro and create significant value. We expect to inject up to EUR 150 m. over the coming years to realize the plan.

Cost reductions

Our cost reduction program continues. During the program, approximately one third of Investor's employees, slightly less than 50 people, has left or will leave the company. We are still incurring significant extra costs for simplifying our legal structure. In addition, the cost during the first quarter was impacted by costs for our LTI program from 2009, driven by IFRS accounting. We continue to expect to reach the full run rate effect of our cost reductions by year end 2012. We are targeting to be close to SEK 350 m. in annual run-rate during the end of the year, down from the annualized run-rate of SEK 450 m. during the first quarter.

Wärtsilä - a new core investment

During the last three quarters, we have acquired 4.4 percent in Wärtsilä for a total consideration of EUR 198 m. We have also received dividend of EUR 8 m. on these shares. After the end of the quarter, we announced the acquisition of another 2.08 percent from Fiskars, Wärtsilä's main shareholder, for EUR 127 m. Following this, we now control 6.4 percent in Wärtsilä for a total dividend-adjusted investment of EUR 317 m. corresponding to EUR 24.9 per share. Our holding has so far been accounted for in Financial Investments.

We have a joint ownership agenda with Fiskars and have decided to pool our respective interests in a joint company. All details will be implemented over the coming four quarters. Together, we now own 19.4 percent of Wärtsilä.

We are convinced of the long-term prospects of Wärtsilä. It has leading global market positions, high emerging market exposure and a large aftermarket business. We support its current strategy and see good long-term growth potential driven by environmental regulations, smart power generation and an increased penetration of natural gas powered engines.

We have a long-term ownership view on our investment. Therefore it will be a core investment. I am very happy that we have been able to build an ownership position in a new core Investment with great potential to generate an attractive long-term contribution to growing our net asset value. We look forward to partnering with Fiskars in realizing this potential.

Our goal intact

In total, we have so far this year invested SEK 2.0 bn. in our core investments and an additional, dividend adjusted, SEK 2.0 bn. in Wärtsilä, of which SEK 0.9 bn. during the first quarter. Our balance sheet remains strong. Although our leverage now exceeds 10 percent, slightly above our target leverage range of 5-10 percent over a business cycle, we believe that we have acquired shares at long-term attractive valuations, and we feel comfortable with our future cash flow generation.

Our objective remains to grow net asset value, operate efficiently and pay a steadily rising dividend. Our dedication to this objective should allow us to generate an attractive total return to our shareholders.

Brief facts, Atlas Copco

Market value, Investor's holding, SEK m. 32 893
Investor's ownership (capital), % 16.8
Share of Investor's total assets, % 18

Investor's view: Atlas Copco has world leading market positions and a strong corporate culture. For quite some time, the company has had best-inclass operational performance and has generated a total return significantly higher than its peers. Over the last few years, Atlas Copco has focused on building strong positions in key growth markets such as China, India and Brazil, and on building world class aftermarket operations. These initiatives have been instrumental to the company's strong performance. Going forward, the company's strong market positions, a flexible business model and focus on innovation provide an excellent platform for capturing business opportunities and continuing to outperform its peers. Thanks to its strong cash flow, the company can distribute significant capital to shareholders, while simultaneously retaining the flexibility to act on its growth strategy.

Activities during the quarter

● ABB announced a USD 3.9 bn. bid for Thomas & Betts, a listed US manufacturer of low-voltage electrical products. The acquisition strengthens ABB's position in the large US lowvoltage market through addition of a highly complementary product range and access to a large base of distributors.

Brief facts, ABB

Market value, Investor's holding, SEK m. 24 312
Investor's ownership (capital), % 7.8
Share of Investor's total assets, % 13

Investor's view: ABB has a strong brand and market leading positions in attractive industries. Both the power and automation industries have significant exposure to emerging markets and structural growth drivers in terms of electricity build-out and increased focus on energy efficiency. Over the last few years, ABB has made considerable operational improvement which has resulted in strong profitability even in a power market facing price pressure. ABB was early to establish a presence in China and India with strong local product offerings, which is critical to long-term success. In recent years, the company has further strengthened its positions through numerous acquisitions, which now must be successfully integrated. ABB's balance sheet remains strong, supporting further growth and continued distribution to shareholders.

Activities during the quarter

  • SEB has tightened its cost program further by SEK 1 bn., targeting flat costs at SEK 23.1 bn. until 2014.
  • SEB's capitalization remains solid and the core tier 1 ratio was 13.7 percent by the end of Q4.
  • SEB was ranked best bank for Large Corporates and Institutions in the Nordics in Prospera's survey from April.

Brief facts, SEB

Market value, Investor's holding, SEK m. 21 430
Investor's ownership (capital), % 20.8
Share of Investor's total assets, % 12

Investor's view: With the sale of the German retail operation and some improvement in the Baltic economies, we believe that SEB is well positioned to meet both challenges and capture opportunities. The SEB franchise and customer relationships have remained strong throughout the crisis, which should support SEB's business model as a leading relationship bank going forward. Swedish regulators have announced new capital requirements that are stricter than the proposed Basel III rules. While some uncertainty remains regarding the final regulatory outcome, our view is that SEB is well capitalized and prepared to meet the new requirements. SEB should be able to continue to focus on growth within the small- and medium-sized enterprises segment in Sweden as well as on the corporate segments outside Sweden.

  • Combitech, a division of Saab, acquired Sörman Intressenter AB, parent company of Sörman Information AB, which is a consulting firm that provides services and solutions within qualified technical information management.

Brief facts, Saab

Market value, Investor's holding, SEK m. 4 048
Investor's ownership (capital), % 30.0
Share of Investor's total assets, % 2

Investor's view: Saab is well positioned in many niche markets. However, it is still highly dependent on binary outcomes in large defense contract tenders. As Swedish defense spending has decreased over the last decade, Saab has developed cost efficient products, which in the current environment of political pressure and fiscal austerity can be a competitive advantage. With top-quality products, continued focus on operational efficiency and with a solid balance sheet, Saab has a strong platform for the future. Going forward, growth outside of Sweden continues to be imperative, as well as the ability to generate a good gross margin to support internal R&D and marketing efforts.

Investor's ownership (capital), % 15.5
Share of Investor's total assets, % 4

Investor's view: The appliances industry is intensely competitive, with low growth in mature markets. The company's historic operating profit margin has been below its targeted level. Successful execution of Electrolux's strategy focusing on innovative products, a strong global brand and an improved position through globalization and modularization has good potential to structurally improve the long-term operating margin. Recently, Electrolux has made two acquisitions in growth markets to improve future growth prospects. Successful integration of these acquisitions will be important.

Market value, Investor's holding, SEK m. 3 859
Investor's ownership (capital), % 16.8
Share of Investor's total assets, % 2

Investor's view: Husqvarna has world-leading market positions, strong brands and a global sales organization. In recent years, however, the company has struggled with both weak market development and operational performance. As a consequence, the total return has been below both peers and our return requirement. We believe in Husqvarna's long-term potential based on its world-leading position in the global market for outdoor equipment. To improve performance, Husqvarna has invested in new innovative products and streamlined its brand portfolio. This, in combination with a strong focus on operational performance, is important for performance going forward.

Investor's ownership (capital), % 10.9
Share of Investor's total assets, % 2

Investor's view: NASDAQ OMX has strong market positions and a unique brand in an industry that we know well. An exchange is at the core of the financial system's infrastructure and we believe that more financial products will become standardized and thus traded on exchanges. Our view is that continued focus on capturing growth opportunities, such as expansion into new asset classes and adjacent businesses, should create value. The company's strong cash flow enables continued cash distribution to its shareholders.

Investor's view: Sobi is well positioned to benefit from opportunities in attractive segments of the pharmaceutical market. Near-term, improving operational performance and successfully completing the post-merger integration of Biovitrum and Swedish Orphan International, which should result in improved cost and capital efficiency, is very important. Longer-term, securing the full commercial potential of Sobi's late stage development pipeline is the key focus for the company.

Investor's view: Aleris has a strong market position in Scandinavia and significant long-term growth potential that fits well into our ownership philosophy. The Scandinavian healthcare and care market is a large industry with long-term sustainable growth potential, where private providers can outgrow the overall market given the ongoing outsourcing and deregulation trend. Aleris is an attractive platform for continued organic growth derived from demographic changes, successful tenders and deregulation initiatives such as "free choice" for patients. Aleris also provides a good platform for additional acquisitions. Delivering high-quality service is the main differentiating and sustainable factor for this business over the long term, which is why efforts to constantly improve quality and service for patients and payers is the top priority.

Investor's view: Grand Hôtel has a unique brand, location, and property. In recent years, wide-scale renovations have been made to the hotel, new facilities have been opened and various initiatives have been implemented in order to cope with the challenging economic climate.

Further investments in the property are important to sustain a superior product and build long-term value.

Investor's view: Investor has been a sponsor of EQT's funds since its inception more than 15 years ago. Since then, EQT has delivered top investment performance in its industry and we have received returns on our limited partner interest in the top quartile of the industry. As a sponsor, we also have an ownership interest in the general partners of the funds, allowing us to capture a portion of the carry and of any surplus from management fees. This represents a significant enhancement of our total return from the respective funds over time. Although "lumpy" by nature, depending on whether the funds are in an investment or divestment phase, our investments in the EQT funds are expected to continue to generate strong cash flow.

A global medical technology company and a leader in developing, manufacturing and supplying products and therapies for Kidney and Liver dialysis, Myeloma Kidney Therapy and other extracorporeal therapies for Chronic and Acute patients.

Activities during the quarter

  • Demand for Gambro's products and services was healthy in the Americas and APAC, while EMEA continued to be weak for both business areas Chronic and Acute. In constant currency and adjusted for divestitures, sales were down 4 percent.
  • EBITDA was down substantially. During January and February, the EBITDA margin was in line with the corresponding period last year. However, December 2011 was negatively impacted, mainly by an increased bad debt reserve and an inventory write-down.
  • The business area Chronic continued to face challenges in EMEA due to austerity measures and price pressure in key markets.
  • The business area Acute was also affected by a slower market in EMEA. Sales growth for the quarter was mainly driven by strong performance in APAC.
  • Operating cash flow was weak. Net working capital increased due to extended payment terms in Southern Europe. This is the main explanation to the increase in the net debt.

Investor's view: The restructuring of Gambro has been challenging and taken longer than we originally anticipated.

We continue to believe that the improvement potential, both when it comes to revenue growth and margins, is substantial. We will provide additional equity financing if deemed value-creating.

A mobile operator providing mobile voice and broadband services in Sweden and Denmark. The company has more than 2 million subscribers and is wellrecognized for its high-quality network.

Activities during the quarter

  • The subscriber base grew by 84,000 during the quarter, of which 58,000 in Sweden and 26,000 in Denmark. Subscriber growth in both countries was driven by continued demand for smartphones. 3 Sweden launched an attractive bundled offer at the end of February, further driving the penetration of smartphones and the postpaid offering.
  • ARPU during the quarter decreased by 6 percent compared to the same period last year. The Swedish ARPU decreased slightly, by 1 percent, while the Danish ARPU decreased by 11 percent. ARPU is negatively affected by continued price pressure in the Danish market.
  • In April, LTE (4G) was launched in Sweden. The roll-out of LTE now continues in both Sweden and Denmark.
  • Sales grew by 7 percent compared to the same period last year. The sales growth was 14 percent in Sweden and -4 percent in Denmark.
  • In 2011, 3 Scandinavia changed the recognition method of handset sales. During a transition period, the EBITDA is positively impacted by the early recognition of handset revenue from new and prolonged subscribers, while treatment of the existing subscriber base remains unchanged. This effect is fading out as subscriber contracts signed prior to the change expire. Consequently, reported EBITDA for the first quarter 2012 was lower than during the first quarter 2011.

Investor's view: Over the past few years, 3 Scandinavia's strategic focus on building a high-quality mobile network has proven successful, as illustrated by strong subscriber intake and improved operating performance. With strong cost control in place, growth remains the key value driver, and 3 Scandinavia should continue to increase its market share and capture additional growth opportunities. Having acquired additional spectrum during 2011, the company has secured its position as the premier network provider. Future revenue and profit growth should translate into enhanced cash flow generation.

The Parent Company's result after financial items was SEK 9,630 m. (-574). Value changes of equity-related holdings reported at fair value amounted to SEK 7,834 m. (-2,100). Result from participations in Group companies and associates amounted to SEK 0 m. (520), and SEK -39 m. respectively (-88). During the quarter, the Parent Company invested SEK 1,743 m. in financial assets (3,573), of which SEK 1,670 m. was in Group companies (3,237) and purchases in listed Core Investments of SEK 34 m (278). Total debt decreased by SEK 1,969 m. since the beginning of the year. Shareholders' equity totaled SEK 152,269 m. on March 31, 2012, compared to SEK 142,633 m. at year end 2011.

Risks and Risk management

The main risks that the Group and the Parent Company are exposed to are 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 uncertain market situation also affects the various unlisted holdings' opportunities for new investments and divestments. The turbulent development of the markets reflects the uncertainty about how the continuing global imbalances of the world economy, with risk of serious consequences for various states' deteriorating creditworthiness, will affect the economic situation at both macro and micro levels.

The Core Investments subsidiaries: Mölnlycke Health Care, Aleris and Grand Hôtel are, like Investor, exposed to commercial risks, financial risks, and market risks. In addition, through their business activities, i.e. their offerings of products and services, within respective sector, these companies are also exposed to legal/regulatory risks and political risks, for example political decisions on healthcare budgets and industry regulations.

Financing of Investor's Core Investments subsidiaries and the partner-owned investments are made on a ring-fenced basis, without guarantees from Investor, the guarantee to 3 Scandinavia being the exception. In order to keep credit risks at low levels, credit risk exposure is only permitted if the counterparties have high creditworthiness.

Whatever the economic situation is in the world, operational risk management requires continued high level of awareness and focused work in line with stated policies and instructions. Investor AB's risk management, risks and

uncertainties, and those related to its Core Investments subsidiaries, are described in detail in the Annual Report 2011, see the Administration report and Note 31. Any significant changes have not been made subsequently, aside from changes in current macroeconomic 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. The accounting policies that have been applied for the Group and Parent Company are in agreement with the accounting policies used in the preparation of the company's most recent annual report.

New and changed accounting policies in 2012

New or revised IFRSs and interpretations from IFRIC have had no effect on the profit/loss, financial position or disclosures for the Group or Parent Company.

Acquisitions (business combinations)

During February Aleris acquired Stureplans Husläkarmottagning AB and Mölnlycke Health Care acquired the burn and wound care business from Brennen Medical in the U.S.

Further information will be provided in the interim report for the second quarter.

Related party transactions

During the quarter the Group has not entered into any new significant transactions or commitments with related parties, other than recurring business transactions as presented in the Annual Report 2011.

Pledged Assets and contingent liabilities

No significant changes of pledged assets and contingent liabilities occurred during the first quarter.

Events occurring after the end of the quarter

Acquisition of shares in Mölnlycke Health Care

In Mölnlycke Health Care there is a Management Participation Program, aimed at getting the Board, Management and certain key personnel, some 100 participants in total, to invest in the company to become shareholders, thus aligning interest. Participants in the program have the possibility to sell up to 50 percent of their respective holding to new participants or to Investor at predetermined occasions. The transaction opportunities occur every other year (2012, 2014 and so forth). The acquisitions and divestitures of shares in the program are made on the basis of a market valuation, to which an external fairness opinion is obtained.

In April 2012, when the participants in Mölnlycke Health Care's Management Participation Program had an agreed possibility to sell shares under the program, the Board member Gunnar Brock sold a part of his holding of shares to Investor for approximately SEK 10.6 m. In connection with the position as Chairman of the Board of Mölnlycke Health Care in 2007, prior his election to the Board of Directors of Investor in 2009, Gunnar Brock acquired shares for an amount of approximately SEK 6.4 m. under the program. In total, Investor acquired shares in Mölnlycke Health Care from more than 100 participants for SEK 865 m., of which SEK 469 m. from the Board (including Gunnar Brock) and Management. The program was also described in Investor's Annual Report 2011.

Wärtsilä new core investment

Up until the end of the first quarter, 2012, Investor had acquired 8,599,206 shares over the market in Wärtsilä for a total of EUR 190 m. (dividend adjusted). Today, April 24, Investor announced it had acquired an additional 4,102,615 shares in Wärtsilä from Fiskars Group for a total of EUR 127 m.
