The information provided herein is such that AB Industrivärden (publ) is obligated to disclose pursuant to the Securities and Clearing Operations Act (SFS 1992:543) and/or the Financial Instruments Trading Act (SFS 1991:980). Submitted for publication at 11:15 a.m. on February 12, 2009.

Year-End Report 2008

Value development and proposed dividend

  • Net asset value on December 31, 2008, was SEK 62 per share, a decrease of 55% for the year including reinvestment of the dividend in 2008. In 2009 net asset value has increased by 11%, to SEK 69 per share on February 9, 2009.
  • The total return in 2008 was -47% for the Class A shares.
  • Purchases of stock in 2008 totaled SEK 4,644 M, of which SEK 1,830 M was in Volvo Class A shares, after which Industrivärden's ownership in Volvo amounted to 8.5% of the number of votes. Sales of stock totaled SEK 4,314 M. Stocks were thus purchased for a net amount of SEK 330 M.
  • Earnings per share for 2008 were SEK -75.37 (-5.03).
  • The Board of Directors proposes a dividend of SEK 4.50 per share (5.00).

Long-term return

During the last ten-year period, the annual total return for Industrivärden's Class A shares has exceeded the return index by an average of 2 percentage points per year.

Current status

"Industrivärden has an entirely transparent balance sheet with market-valued assets in liquid stocks. We have no contingent liabilities or financial obligations entailing high risk, and we have refrained from making private equity investments, which are difficult to analyze and which usually entail a high level of gearing and thus high financial risk. With an equity ratio of approximately 70%, firm credit facilities and income that exceeds our expenses, we stand on solid ground in our role as an active long-term owner in our portfolio companies," comments Anders Nyrén, President and CEO of Industrivärden.

uLong-term industrial developer of listed Nordic companies

Industrivärden is one of the Nordic region's leading holding companies, with ownership in a concentrated selection of listed Nordic companies with good development potential. The goal is to generate high growth in net asset value over time.

CEO's message

The price decline on the world's stock exchanges that began at mid-year 2007 continued throughout 2008 and accelerated considerably after Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy on September 15. This sharp decline came mainly against the backdrop of a collapsed global credit system that does not have the ability to provide loans and finance activities, which forms the foundation of a working national economy. Unfortunately, as 2009 gets under way there are few clear signs of a return to a more normal function. As a result of interest rate cuts that are now being carried out together with powerful stimulus measures in all key economies, we should begin to see a turn for the better. The question is only how long this normalization process will take and how much damage the credit collapse will have caused.

Industrivärden is a long-term owner in some of Sweden's leading listed companies, with competitive positions in the world market. They are largely active in industries that have been severely hurt by the lack of normal credits, with poorer sales and profitability as a result. In 2008 the value of our portfolio fell by SEK 31 billion, and Industrivärden's stock's total return was -47%, compared with -39% for the total return index. However, a player such as Industrivärden, with a long-term investment philosophy, must be assessed from a long-term perspective. Over long periods of time, Industrivärden's stock has delivered a competitive total return for its shareholders – which is a clear validation of our strategy.

During the year, as in previous years, in our capacity as an active owner we strived to contribute to the favorable development of our portfolio companies. This is a task that requires a long-term, consistent way of working. I am therefore pleased to note that several of our portfolio companies have further strengthened their positions. Handelsbanken's focus on the traditional branch operations and SSAB's strategic acquisition of capacity in IPSCO are prime examples of this.

In 2008 we continued to increase our ownership position in Volvo – an investment that we believe has major potential against the background of the rising global need for transport, extensive infrastructure development in major growth countries, and growing environmental concerns.

Our aim in our borrowing is to maintain a debt-equity ratio of less than 20% over the long term. In an extreme situation of the kind we are now experiencing, with dramatically diminished stock market values, our debt-equity ratio has fallen short of our long-term objective. Our credit undertakings are not contingent on our debt-equity ratio.

Industrivärden has an entirely transparent balance sheet with market-valued assets in liquid stocks. We have no contingent liabilities or financial obligations entailing high risk. We have also refrained from making private equity investments, which are difficult to analyze and which usually entail a high level of gearing and thus high financial risk. With an equity ratio of approximately 70%, firm credit facilities and income that exceeds our expenses, we stand on solid ground in our role as an active long-term owner in our portfolio companies.

With the proposed dividend of SEK 4.50 per share, we continue to achieve our goal of paying a higher dividend yield than the average for the Stockholm Stock Exchange, as this is also the lowest level in order not to pay any income tax.

Industrivärden's value development

Industrivärden's is the leading Nordic player in its field - active ownership in listed Nordic companies - with the goal of creating growth in value through long-term, structured ownership work in a transparent portfolio of a limited number of listed companies. This work is conducted with low management costs. Through this active ownership, Industrivärden's stock, over time, has been a good investment that has generated a higher return than the return index.

The total return for the equities portfolio was -45% in 2008, which was 6 percentage points lower than the return index. Of the major holdings, Ericsson, Skanska and Handelsbanken performed better than the index.

During the period January 1–February 9, 2009, the total return for the equities portfolio was 8%, which was 4 percentage points higher than the return index.

Total return for portfolio companies and Industrivärden

Total returns, expressed in SEK billion, pertain to the change in value during the period including dividend income for the respective portfolio companies. Of the shareholdings listed above, Höganäs has been held for less than five years.

Indutrade and Hemtex became listed in October 2005.

Development for the portfolio companies – active ownership

Industrivärden's influence in its portfolio companies is based on sizable ownership stakes and a strong position of trust. With this as the starting point, Industrivärden exercises its active ownership role through interaction with other major owners in the aim of finding ways to increase the value of the shareholdings. This active ownership in the portfolio companies is exercised by board members with ties to Industrivärden, through work on nominating committees and through direct dialog between Industrivärden's investment organization and leading representatives of the portfolio companies.

Handelsbanken Net interest income rose 23% to SEK 19.2 billion, while commissions decreased by 12% to SEK 6.8 billion. The net result of financial items stated at fair value increased by 4% to SEK 3.2 billion. Loan losses amounted to SEK 1.6 billion, and the Tier I capital ratio (Basel II) was 10.5%. Operating income for the fourth quarter including capital gains rose 39%, while the increase for the full year was 4%, to SEK 15.3 billion. Handelsbanken opened 28 new branches outside Sweden during the year, while an additional 14 were added through the acquisition of Lokalbanken in Denmark. Net interest income for the branch operations outside Sweden rose 33%. Handelsbanken shows good liquidity and can, if needed at short notice, free up considerable liquid funds. A dividend of SEK 7.00 per share (8.50) has been proposed.

Sandvik Invoicing increased by 7%, but income after financial items fell 19% to SEK 10.6 billion, mainly due to poorer earnings for Materials Technology and costs for production adaptations in response to lower volumes during the fourth quarter. Earnings decreased slightly for the Tooling unit and were unchanged for Mining & Construction. Order bookings, which were level with the preceding year, fell sharply during the fourth quarter as a result of the global economic slowdown. Cash flow from operating activities strengthened by 77% to SEK 9.7 billion. The board has proposed a dividend of SEK 3.15 per share (4.00).

SSAB Sales rose 34% to SEK 54.3 billion. Income after financial items rose 29% in 2008, to SEK 9.0 billion, of which the contribution from the North American operations was SEK 3.0 billion. The full-year result thus represents record earnings. Against the background of the abrupt drop in demand in the steel market during the fourth quarter, a decision has been made on a cost-cutting program that will generate annual savings of SEK 1 billion starting in 2010. Operating cash flow strengthened by 51% to SEK 5.4 billion. In 2008 the share of delivered niche products increased further to 33% of total deliveries. SSAB's niche strategy, combined with the adaptation measures that have been taken, makes it well-positioned for the changed market situation. A dividend of SEK 4.00 per share (5.00) has been proposed.

SCA Net sales rose 4% to SEK 110.4 billion, of which half of the increase was volume growth. Income after financial items fell 24% to SEK 6.2 billion. The hygiene segment is showing good growth and considerable resilience to the economic downturn. Sales and operating income improved considerably for the Tissue unit, and performance for Personal Care remains favorable. Falling demand within Packaging is being met by increased efficiency and production cuts. The Forest Products business posted an earnings decline for the full year 2008, with a slight earnings improvement during the fourth quarter. The board has proposed a dividend of SEK 3.50 per share (4.40).

Ericsson Net sales rose 11% in 2008, with continued good demand for the entire product portfolio in all regions. The fourth quarter showed the strongest sales growth during the year. Income after financial items decreased by 19% in 2008, to SEK 24.8 billion (excluding SEK 7.6 billion in restructuring costs). The earnings trend was positive for the third quarter in a row, and income after financial items rose 25% for the fourth quarter. The costcutting program has been expanded and is expected to generate annual savings of SEK 10 billion from 2010. Ericsson has a strong financial position, and its net cash position improved for the full year by SEK 11 billion, to SEK 35 billion. A dividend of SEK 1.85 per share (2.50) has been proposed.

Volvo Net sales rose 6% to SEK 304 billion. Income after financial items fell 35% to SEK 14.0 billion after a loss of SEK 2.5 billion was posted for the fourth quarter. The economic downturn has dramatically affected demand in Volvo's core Trucks and Construction Equipment units, and operating income for the full year consequently fell 29%. Through successful work at reducing inventories, a positive cash flow of SEK 1.8 billion was achieved during the fourth quarter. Strong measures have been taken to lower costs. The board has proposed a dividend of SEK 2.00 per share (5.50).

Skanska Net sales rose 4% to SEK 144 billion. The increase for Construction, Skanska's largest business stream, was 8%. Income after financial items fell 22% to SEK 4.4 billion, mainly due to project write-downs and costs for adapting operations. Operating income strengthened for the Commercial Development and Infrastructure Development business streams. At year-end 2008, accrued surplus values in project development operations totaled approximately SEK 9 billion. A dividend of SEK 5.25 per share has been proposed (preceding year: 5.25 and 3.00 in extra dividend).

Munters Net sales rose 5% in 2008, to SEK 6.6 billion, and income after financial items fell 46% to SEK 285 M. Costs for a completed efficiency improvement program and other nonrecurring costs accounted for most of the earnings decline. The board has proposed that no dividend be paid for the year (SEK 2.50 per share).

Höganäs Net sales rose 5%, but income after financial items fell 14% to SEK 483 M. Sales volume in 2008 decreased by 3% due to weaker demand during the fourth quarter. Cash flow from operating activities strengthened. A dividend of SEK 3.00 per share (6.25) has been proposed.

Equities transactions, short-term trading and management costs

In 2008, reallocations were made in the equities portfolio through, among other things, purchases of Volvo A shares and net sales of Ericsson B, Handelsbanken A, Skanska B, SSAB A and Volvo B. Purchases of shares totaled SEK 4,644 M and sales totaled SEK 4,314 M. The value of the equities portfolio decreased during the year from SEK 65,844 M to SEK 34,744 M.

Short-term trading during the year generated a profit of SEK 68 M (142). Management costs totaled SEK 81 M (86).

Net debt and liquidity

Interest-bearing net debt amounted to SEK 10,813 M as per December 31, 2008, a decrease of SEK 138 M for the year. The net debt-equity ratio was 31.1% on December 31. On February 9, 2009, the net debt-equity ratio was 29.1%. The average interest rate, which is fixed for just under five years, is 4.7%. Of interest-bearing net debt, loans of SEK 2.1 billion and SEK 1.2 billion fall due in 2009 and 2010, respectively. For refinancing purposes, the Group has cash and cash equivalents worth SEK 1.1 billion as per December 31 and granted, unutilized bank overdraft facilities worth SEK 3.4 billion.

Net asset value

Net asset value was SEK 23.9 billion on December 31, 2008, a decrease of SEK 30.9 billion for the year. The value of the equities portfolio decreased by 47%, while interest-bearing net debt decreased by SEK 0.2 billion. Net asset value decreased during year by SEK 80 per share, to SEK 62 per share, or by 56%. Net asset value on February 9, 2009, was SEK 26.5 billion, or SEK 69 per share, an increase of 11% since the start of the year. Net asset value including reinvested dividends decreased by 55% in 2008. The discount to net asset value narrowed during the same period, which is why Industrivärden's stock, which fell by 47% including reinvestment of the dividend in 2008, performed better than net asset value.

Other information

Dividend

The Board of Directors has proposed a dividend of SEK 4.50 per share (5.00) and May 13, 2009, as the record date, for a total dividend payout of SEK 1,738 M.

Accounting principles

This year-end 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 adopted by the EU, and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The Parent Company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with RFR 2.1, Accounting for Legal Entities, and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. No changes have taken place in the Group's or Parent Company's accounting and valuation principles compared with the accounting and valuation principles applied and described in the 2007 Annual Report.

Risks and uncertainties

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 one percent change in the share price of the holdings in the equities portfolio as per December 31, 2008, would have affected the market value by approximately +/– SEK 350 M.

Related party transactions

No transactions have taken place between Industrivärden and related parties that have materially affected the Company's position or earnings for the year, apart from the dividends received from the associated companies Indutrade, SCA, Skanska and SSAB.

Expanded management team

Industrivärden's Chief Financial Officer, Martin Hamner, has been named a member of the Company's Executive Management. Hamner (b. 1964, BA Econ.) has been employed since 2008. Prior to joining Industrivärden he served as Group Controller for ASSA ABLOY and as an Authorized Public Accountant for PricewaterhouseCoopers.

the board of directors

Nominating Committee's proposal for the Board of Directors

Industrivärden's 2008 Annual General Meeting assigned the Chairman of the Board with the task of contacting four shareholders from among the largest registered shareholders in terms of votes in Euroclear's printout of the shareholder register on August 29, 2008, who each appoint one representative who is not a director on the Company's board, to form together with the Chairman of the Board a nominating committee for the time until a new nominating committee has been appointed based on the mandate from the next Annual General Meeting.

Accordingly, the following persons were appointed as members of the Nominating Committee: Tom Hedelius (Chairman of Industrivärden), Bo Damberg (the Jan Wallander and Tom Hedelius Foundation and others), Håkan Sandberg (Handelsbanken Pension Foundation and Handelsbanken Pension Fund – committee chair), Ulf Lundahl (L E Lundbergföretagen) and Anders Nyberg (SCA Pension Foundation and others).

The Nominating Committee has proposed to the Annual General Meeting that Boel Flodgren, Tom Hedelius, Finn Johnsson, Fredrik Lundberg, Sverker Martin-Löf, Lennart Nilsson and Anders Nyrén be re-elected to serve on the Company's board. In addition, the Committee has proposed the new election of Olof Faxander, President and CEO of SSAB since 2006. Faxander (b. 1970, B.A. Econ., M.Sc. Eng.) has previous experience in senior positions with Outokumpu and Avesta Sheffield/Polarit. The Nominating Committee has also nominated Tom Hedelius for election as Chairman of the Board at the Annual General Meeting. Shareholders who together represent approximately two-thirds of the total number of votes in the Company intend to support the Nominating Committee's proposal.

Auditors' Review Report

We have reviewed the year-end report for AB Industrivärden (publ) for the period January 1–December 31, 2008. The Board of Directors and President are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this year-end report in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and IAS 34. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this year-end report based on our review.

We conducted our review in accordance with the Swedish standard for such reviews, SÖG 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 is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing in Sweden (RS) 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 year-end report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and IAS 34.
