Aug 19, 2021

January – June 2021 Interim report

Henrik Blomquist

Interim period January – June 2021

• Net asset value was SEK 287.0 per share compared to SEK 239.6 at the beginning of the year, corresponding to an increase of 19.8 per cent.
• Bure's net asset value was SEK 21,278M compared to SEK 17,763M at the beginning of the year.
• Total return on the Bure share was 26.6 per cent compared to the SIX Return Index, which increased 22.4 per cent.
• The Bure investment entity's earnings after tax amounted to SEK 3,679M (21). Earnings per share amounted to SEK 49.5 (0.3).

Interim period April – June 2021

• Net asset value was SEK 287.0 per share compared to SEK 236.1 at the beginning of the quarter, corresponding to an increase of 21.6 per cent.
• Bure divested 1 million shares in Mycronic for SEK 258.9M, which resulted in an exit gain of SEK 246.4M.
• Bure Growth acquired an additional 0.04 million shares in BioLamina for SEK 8.0M, increasing its holding to 46.7 per cent.
• In line with the decision of the Annual General Meeting, an ordinary dividend of SEK 2.0 per share was paid, amounting to a total of SEK 148.3M.

Events after the end of the period

• Net asset value amounted to 323.8 per share on 18 August 2021, corresponding to an increase of 35.2 per cent since the beginning of the year.
• Vitrolife entered into an agreement to acquire 100 per cent of shares in Igenomix S.L. for EUR 1,250M. Igenomix is a global leader in female health and tests for reproductive genetics for IVF clinics. The transaction will be financed with rights issues, cash and cash equivalents, and bank credits. In July, Vitrolife conducted a directed rights issue in which Bure acquired 0.11 million shares for SEK 40.1M. Bure also entered into an agreement to acquire 0.83 million shares in Vitrolife from the sellers of Igenomix for SEK 305.0M.

Bure's net asset value per share jumped 21.6 per cent in the quarter. Substantial increases in Mycronic and Vitrolife, (26.0 and 38.7 per cent, respectively), were the key reasons for the strong growth in net asset value. In the first half of the year, Bure's net asset value per share increased 19.8 per cent, compared to the SIX RX which increased by 22.4 per cent in the same period.

The portfolio companies generally reported good results for the second quarter of the year. However, it is important to remember that the comparative figures for the majority of companies are extremely low. Especially encouraging was that the two portfolio companies that were hardest hit by covid - Vitrolife and Mercuri - are now back at pre-covid levels.

During the quarter, Cavotec announced plans to increase investment in the electrification and automation of ports. The company sees strong growth potential for its sustainability-orientated products and solutions for ports and vessels that want to improve the environment by reducing their emissions. Cavotec recently won an order, inter alia, from Port of Kapellskär that will install Sweden's first automated mooring system.

After the end of the period, Vitrolife entered into an agreement to acquire Spain's Igenomix for EUR 1.25 billion. Igenomix provides reproductive genetics tests for IVF clinics. The merger will create a global leader in reproductive healthcare. Bure provided some of the financing that made the acquisition possible.

In the past 18 months, extensive support measures have been implemented to stimulate the economy and limit the negative effects of covid. This has created a strong economic recovery, which among other things has caused the prices of many assets to increase sharply. The SIX RX, for example, is up just over 30 per cent to date, raising questions over whether the stock market has become excessively overvalued.

Bure has a number of basic principles regarding the management of risk. Bure's financial policy states that the Parent Company shall be essentially debt-free. 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 2020 annual report provides a detailed description of the Group's risk exposure and risk management in the administration report and in Note 21. Bure's assessment is that no significant risks have arisen other than those described in the annual report and in this interim report. This year-end report has not been reviewed by the Group's auditors.

Notes

Note 1 – Accounting policies

Bure applies International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as endorsed for application in the EU. This interim report has been prepared in compliance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2, Accounting for Legal Entities.

Group consolidation principles

As of the beginning of the first quarter of 2021, the Board of Directors of Bure has judged that the criteria of IFRS 10 investment entity – have been met.

An investment entity does not consolidate subsidiaries in accordance with IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and does not apply IFRS 3 Business Combinations, with the exception of subsidiaries that are active in investment activities. An investment entity values portfolio companies at fair value in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. Since 1 January 2021, the Bure investment entity has comprised of the parent company, Bure Equity AB, Atle Investment Management AB, and Bure Growth AB.

The change is only forward-looking, but a recalculation of comparison periods has been carried out to simplify comparisons. In the investment entity's accounts, recalculated historical financial data is presented under "Recalculated" in addition to historical financial data.

In its assessment prior to the decision to classify the company as an investment company in accordance with the criteria in IFRS 10 - Investment Entities, the Board of Directors of Bure Equity has considered the following:

• Bure is an investment entity whose goal is to create long-term total returns and thereby be a competitive investment alternative in the stock market. The starting point in Bure's operations is to actively participate in and develop wholly owned or partly owned companies and operations to increase the value of these assets over time through value growth or dividends.
• Since 2010, Bure has reported the net asset value of all portfolio companies valued at fair value.
• Bure is an investment entity that advocates active and long-term ownership. Bure assesses each investment and business opportunity over a period of three to five years, but investment horizons may be longer than this. Portfolio companies are continuously evaluated by Bure with an emphasis on development potential, valuation, risk, and alternative investment opportunities. When portfolio companies do not meet Bure's objectives and criteria, the holding may be sold in part or in its entirety. Over the years, Bure's portfolio has changed substantially.

Changes in accounting principles in the parent company

The parent company's principles for reporting investments in portfolio companies, (subsidiaries, associated companies, and other financial assets) were changed voluntarily in the first quarter of 2021, after which investments in participations in portfolio companies have been reported at fair value through profit or loss in the same way as in the investment entity. The change is only forward-looking, but a recalculation of comparison periods has been carried out to simplify comparisons. In the parent company's accounts, recalculated historical financial data is presented under "Recalculated" in addition to historical financial data.

For further information on accounting and valuation principles, please see Note 1 in the 2020 annual report.

New accounting principles applied from 1 January 2021: revised or amended IFRS standards are not considered to have any significant impact on earnings or balance statements. Bure continuously updates its analysis of upcoming changes.

Note 2 – Segment reporting

All activities in the entity are considered to constitute a single segment.

Note 3 – Effects of changed estimates and assessments

Important estimates and assessments are presented in Note 1 in the 2020 annual report. No changes to these estimates and assessments have been that could have a significant impact on the current interim report.

Note 4 – Financial instruments

Fair value and book value of financial assets and liabilities

Fair value has been calculated for all financial assets and liabilities in accordance with IFRS 13. Fair value is estimated to be equal to the book value of accounts receivable and other receivables, other current receivables, cash and other cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, and other liabilities and borrowing. Book value less write-downs is an estimated fair value for accounts receivable and accounts payable. For long-term non-interest-bearing liabilities, fair value has been calculated by discounting future cash flows with current market interest rates regarding the term of the debt.

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 reports listed holdings at fair value with changes in value in the income statement (level 1). Bure's listed holdings consist of ACQ Bure AB, Cavotec SA, MedCap AB, Mentice AB, Mycronic AB, Ovzon AB, Vitrolife AB, and Xvivo Perfusion AB.

Bure has reported investments in unlisted associated companies and subsidiaries (level 3) at fair value since 1 January 2021. Unlisted associated companies have previously been valued according to the equity method in accordance with IAS 28 - Holdings in Associates and Joint Ventures, while subsidiaries have been reported at accrued acquisition value. Unlisted associated companies and subsidiaries consist of Allgon AB, Alcur Fonder AB, Atle Investment Services AB, BioLamina AB, Fondbolaget Fondita Ab, Investment AB Bure, Mercuri International Group AB, My Driving Academy Sweden AB, ScandiNova Systems AB, and Teknik Innovation Norden Fonder AB. Since the introduction of IFRS 9, Yubico AB has been continuously revalued.

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.
