The strong performance by Industrivärden and its portfolio companies continued during the second quarter. At the end of July the total return was 12% for Class A shares and 13% for the Class C shares, compared with 12% for the return index.
The economic trend has been very good in recent years. I share the view of many commentators that growth in the economy is being driven not only by traditional, cyclical variations, but also by more fundamental structural changes. Most of all, the expanding prosperity in Asia and the former communist bloc is being driven by an increasingly global economy with major IT-based efficiency gains. Today it is not only the economies in Europe and the U.S. that play a central role in the development of the goods and finance markets; performance of countries like China and India is growing increasingly important.
Industrivärden's portfolio companies all have operations which in one way or another are benefiting from this new world order. This is reflected in the continued favorable earnings and profitability gains reported by these companies. Sandvik's rapid sales and profit growth is a prime example of how a company can take advantage of the opportunities that are emerging from this new situation. It is especially pleasing that Sandvik is succeeding in combining a growth strategy based on organic and acquisition-based growth with transfers to the shareholders in the form of redemptions and dividends.
SSAB is a good example of Industrivärden's priority of long-term value creation – first through profitable investments and thereafter through shareholder transfers where scope exists. Through the acquisition of IPSCO – a deal worth approximately SEK 51 billion – a new company is being created with good prospects to further strengthen SSAB's leading global position in high strength and quenched steel products. In connection with this acquisition, SSAB's shareholders have approved a new issue of SEK 10 billion. As SSAB's largest shareholder, with 17% of the capital and 22% of the votes, we have supported the new issue by guaranteeing subscription of our portion. This was a natural decision, since we believe this deal is very favorable for SSAB and its shareholders. Handelsbanken's earnings and profitability during the first half of the year – and especially its sequential development – make us highly confident about the bank's business model of putting focus on the customer.
During the first seven months of the year we purchased stocks for SEK 5.5 billion and sold for SEK 2.0 billion. Among other things, we have bought additional shares in Volvo, for SEK 3.9 billion. Our holding today corresponds to nearly 5% of the votes and is an expression of our belief in Volvo's leading position in the interesting heavy trucks industry.
Our short-term trading showed a half-year result of SEK 120 M, which was SEK 54 M better than the corresponding period a year ago and amply covered our management costs of SEK 43 M.
In association with Investor's half-year report, my CEO counterpart at Investor initiated a discussion on the need to make some improvements to the Swedish Code of Corporate Governance – in particular, on how it has come to be applied. I welcome this initiative. In a modern market economy, it is sound and proper that there is a large variation of owners with varying views, time horizons and goals. The problem is that in the Swedish model for appointing nominating committees, the selection criteria is based only on the size of ownership at a specific point in time. In addition, a company's board is normally only represented by the chairman, who in a collective effort, is responsible for both defending and evaluating the board's work, its members and thereby indirectly him- or herself. Moreover, in many cases, the chairman must report on this evaluation to representatives of more or less passive owners. Sometimes these nominating committee members are people with little or no experience in running a business or in qualified board work.
Another problem is that short-sighted players, using derivative positions and other modern financial instruments, can qualify as major shareholders at a given point in time despite a limited financial risk-taking. These players do not always have the company's long-term growth in value as their top priority. We must find ways to strike a better balance in this nomination work. A first step is to keep in mind what a nominating committee is intended to do – to prepare for the election of board members prior to a company's annual meeting, and nothing else. Discussions on strategies, incentive programs, capital structure and so on should not be a part of a nominating committee's work – these issues should be reserved for the elected board. Perhaps nominating committees would be more effective if they had at least one more representative from the board plus the chairman. It would also be wise to define a major owner as one that has been so for a certain period of time or, in the case of a new owner, one that has issued some form of declaration of intent to own the shares for a certain period of time. My concerns about these issues are shared by many prominent business leaders in our neighboring Nordic countries. This debate thus must be brought to a head so that we can improve practice in Sweden. Otherwise the work on creating a Nordic stock exchange will be at risk of coming to naught.

Of the shareholdings listed above, Munters and Höganäs have been held for less than five years. Indutrade was listed on the stock exchange in October 2005.
The total return for Sandvik, Volvo and Munters during the first half of 2007 includes payment received for redemption shares.
Higher sales volumes, an increasingly favorable product mix and high internal efficiency contributed to a rise in profit after financial items of more than 30% during the first half of the year. The operating margin improved further. Global demand for Sandvik's products and services remained strong for all business areas. The increase was particularly strong for the Mining and Construction business area. During the first half of the year, Sandvik carried out a number of strategic acquisitions aimed at further strengthening the company's position in areas with high growth and good profitability.
Operating profit for the banking business rose 8%, or SEK 600 M, compared with the same period a year ago. Including the insurance operations, Handelsbankens operating profit decreased, mainly due to changes in the value of the previously under-funded insurance portfolio. Net interest income rose, mainly due to higher business volumes and higher deposit margins. Net commission and fee income also increased, mainly for the insurance and advisory businesses. Costs were unchanged. A total of 16 new branches were opened, of which 14 are outside Sweden.
Profit after financial items was up 20% during the first half of the year compared with a year ago and was the best half-year result ever for SSAB. Deliveries of the company's core niche products – quenched steels and advanced high strength sheet – rose 12% and together accounted for 43% (39%) of deliveries by the steel operations. On July 18, SSAB acquired the North American steel company IPSCO following approval by an extraordinary general meeting of IPSCO to SSAB's cash offer of USD 7.7 billion (approx. SEK 51 billion). The acquisition was financed through borrowing, however, the intention is to reduce debt through a rights issue of approximately SEK 10 billion in August.
Income after financial items rose 17% during the first half of the year, and the operating margin improved. Invoiced sales showed favorable growth, and Ericsson's growth continues to outpace the market. Half-owned Sony Ericsson generated continued profitable growth and grew its market shares. Through strategic acquisitions and cooperation with operators, Ericsson has further strengthened its leading position. The services business continues to expand faster than the market, and the newly started multimedia business is creating future opportunities in a growing segment.
Profit after financial items improved by 18% during the first half of the year. Earnings for all business groups strengthened as a result of better prices and higher volumes, which compensated for higher production and raw material costs. During the period, agreements were signed on the acquisition of Procter & Gamble's European tissue business and on the divestment of the North American packaging business. Structural changes are aimed at strengthening the conditions for long-term profitable growth.
Income after financial items improved for the core Construction and Residential Development business streams, with Construction showing an improved operating margin. Net sales increased and the backlog is strong. The value-creating Commercial Development unit posted lower earnings due to a lower value of sold properties than in the preceding year. Commercial Development and Infrastructure Development projects showed a surplus value of SEK 6.3 billion.
Income after financial items decreased during the first half of the year. This was mainly due to weak volume growth for the Trucks business area in the North American market, which was not fully compensated by good volume growth in other markets. Operating income for the Construction Equipment and Penta business area improved, while the Buses and Aero area posted earnings declines.
Profit after financial items was up more than 50% compared with the same period a year ago, among other things, as a result of profitable acquisitions, higher volumes and limited cost increases. Order bookings showed continued good growth.
Earnings after financial items improved during the first quarter compared with the same period in 2006. The HumiCool and Dehumidification divisions showed favorable earnings improvement, while the Moisture Control Services division posted lower earnings. Munters' half-year interim report will be published on August 7.
Income after financial items rose 29% during the first half of the year. Sales were bolstered by favorable volume development, which outpaced growth in the market for metal powders, and by price increases and a change in product mix.
Several of Industrivärden's portfolio companies have carried out stock splits in 2007 or issued redemption shares with automatic redemption. Stock splits were carried out during the second quarter by Munters (3:1), SCA (3:1), and Volvo (5:1). Redemption shares, which were sold during the second quarter, were issued by Munters, Sandvik and Volvo. The total payment received from redemptions was SEK 571 M.
During the first half of 2007, purchases of stocks totaled SEK 4,422 M and sales totaled SEK 2,059 M, gross. Stocks were thus purchased for a net amount of SEK 2,363 M. Major net purchases consisted of 20,107,550 Volvo A, 6,431,200 Sandvik and 955,991 SSAB A. Major net sales consisted of 5,963,150 shares in Tandberg Television and 134,700,000 redemption shares in Sandvik.

As per June 30, 2007, net debt in the net asset value calculation was SEK 6.8 billion, including SEK 6.6 billion in interest-bearing net debt, corresponding to a net debt-equity ratio of 8.5% (7.2% at the start of the year)
Interest-bearing net debt increased by SEK 2.0 billion compared with the start of the year, mainly due to net purchases of stocks.
Net debt as per July 31, 2007, was SEK 7.9 billion, including SEK 7.7 billion in interest-bearing net debt.

A profit of SEK 120 M (66) was generated from short-term equity trading.
Consolidated operating earnings amounted to SEK 13,304 M (2,638), including SEK 2,094 M (1,728) in dividend income, SEK 11,1341 M (886) in change in value of stocks, SEK 120 M (66) from short-term derivative transactions and equity trading, SEK -43 M (-39) in management costs, and SEK -1 M (-3) in other income and expenses. After net financial items, totaling SEK -103 M (-94), tax of SEK -7 M (-55) and earnings after tax from discontinued operations, totaling SEK – M (11) (pertaining to Isaberg Rapid in 2006), earnings for the period were SEK 13,194 M (2,500).
The Parent Company's operating earnings amounted to SEK 8,146 M (868), including SEK 2,094 M (1,728) in dividend income, SEK 46 M (20) in internal dividend income, SEK 6,0511 M (-837) in change in value of stocks and derivative transactions, SEK -43 M (-39) in management costs, and SEK -2 M (-4) in other income and expenses. After net financial items, totaling SEK -105 M (-95), and tax of SEK – M (-51), earnings for the period were SEK 8,041 M (722).
1 In calculating the change in value of stocks in the Parent Company, the associated companies SCA, SSAB, Skanska and Indutrade are carried at cost in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, while in the Group they are carried at market value in accordance with IFRS.
This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, which is in compliance with the requirements set out by Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Council recommendation RR 31 – Interim Financial Reporting for Groups and, with respect to the Parent Company, RR32:06 – Accounting for Legal Entities.
The amendments and interpretations of accounting recommendations introduced with effect from January 1, 2007, have not had any effect on the financial position and earnings. In other respects, the same accounting principles have been used in preparing this interim report as those used for the 2006 Annual Report.
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 detailed description of the risks associated with Industrivärden's business is provided on pages 61-63 of the 2006 Annual Report. A 1% change in the share price of the holdings in the equities portfolio as per June 30, 2007, would have affected the market value by approximately +/– SEK 750 M.
The Board of Directors and President certify that this half-year interim report presents a fair overview of the Parent Company's and Group's operations, position and earnings, and describes the significant risks and uncertainty factors facing the Parent Company and the companies belonging to the Group.

We have reviewed the interim report for AB Industrivärden (publ) for the period January 1 – June 30, 2007. The Board of Directors and President are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this Interim Report in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and IAS 34. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim 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 issued by FAR, the institute of the accountancy profession in Sweden. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has another focus and 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 interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and IAS 34.
