Henrik Blomquist CEO

I look back on 2020 with great humility. The outbreak of Covid-19 undoubtedly tested individuals, families, and communities in almost unimaginable ways. To prevent the spread of infection, severe restrictions were introduced, which also affected all business activity. Despite the pandemic and its enormous impacts, 2020 was a strong year for Bure. Net asset value per share increased 21.8 per cent compared to 14.8 per cent for the SIX RX. Initially, we saw dramatic falls in demand in several of the portfolio companies, including Vitrolife and Mercuri. Fortunately, the situation improved during the second half of the year to return to almost pre-Covid levels by the end of the year.

2020 was also a busy 12 months for Bure, with high levels of activity. During the year, we increased our holdings in several portfolio companies, including Cavotec, Mentice, Ovzon, and BioLamina, and just before the end of the year we made a public bid for Allgon. Bure's ownership model is based on the work we do on portfolio companies' boards. At times of crisis, this work increases in terms of quantity and importance. Collaboration between company management and the board is often decisive in how well a business navigates challenging conditions.

With so much uncertainty in the world, we were all forced to rethink and think anew in 2020. How can businesses function if you cannot travel and physical meetings are not possible? Production, sales, service, everything is affected, and new ways of working and processes need to be established. Managing these changes requires creativity, competence, and the right attitude. This is something that all our portfolio companies exhibited in 2020!

In May, we carried out a SEK 1 billion directed new share issue in Bure. Bure has a long history of successfully developing companies and we believe that we have the capacity to do more of what we do. For me and the organization, this capital injection was therefore extremely inspiring as it gives us the opportunity to continue developing Bure.

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. The Group's accounting and valuation policies are described in Note 1 in the annual report 2019.

New accounting principles that took effect on 1 January 2020: New additional IFRS standards are judged to not have a significant impact on Bure's results or financial position. Bure continually updates its analysis of upcoming changes to accounting principles.

NOTE 2 – Segment reporting

Reporting by operating segment

Bure has previously accounted for segments in a similar manner and no changes have taken place in the basis for segmentation or in calculation of profit/loss in the segments compared to the previous year's annual report. Consolidation adjustments relating to positive and negative goodwill have been attributed to the respective companies. Transactions between the various segments are insignificant in scope and are equal to less than 0.1 per cent of total sales. Dormant companies or companies not classified as portfolio companies are reported under the heading "Other companies". No customer accounted for more than 10 per cent of net sales during the periods.

NOTE 2 – Segment reporting, cont.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers is a new revenue standard that replaces existing standards and guidance on revenues. The standard does not have any material effect on the Group's net sales, either in terms of amounts or periodicity. From 1 January 2018, the Group classify revenue as: consultancy income, licensee income, and other income.

SEK M	Q4 2020	Q4 2019	Full year 2020	Full year 2019
Consultancy income	80	86	225	280
Licensing revenue	3	3	7	10
Other income	-4	27	35	91
Net sales	79	116	267	382

Note 3 – Effects of changed estimates and assumptions

Key accounting estimates and assumptions are presented in Note 1 of the annual report for 2019. No changes have been made in these accounting estimates and assumptions that could have a material impact on this interim report.

NOTE 4 – Financial instruments

The Group's financial assets and liabilities are classified according to IFRS 13 under the following three categories.

Level 1: Listed prices on 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 is not entirely based on observable market data.

Bure reports listed holdings at fair value with changes in value in the income statement (Level 1).

For investments in unlisted holdings (Level 3), in the first auditing instance Bure has made an active choice to use equity method in accordance with IAS 28 – Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. Thus, holdings in unlisted associated companies Alcur Fonder AB, BioLamina AB, Fondbolaget Fondita Ab, Life Genomics AB, My Driving Academy Sweden AB, ScandiNova Systems AB and Teknik Innovation Norden Fonder AB have not been revaluated according to IFRS 9. The introduction of IFRS 9 requires other financial assets to be assessed on an ongoing basis. Atle Investment Services AB is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Atle Investment Management AB and is valued at book value.

In Bure's net asset value table, (see page 2), Bure has chosen to revalue all financial assets based on International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation (IPEV) guidelines. These guidelines outline various methods for the determination of the fair value of respective holdings. Considerable emphasis is placed on recent market transactions in the company, for example new share issues or the acquisition of existing shares. Transactions in comparable companies may also be used. Other valuation methods include discounting forecasted cash flow with relevant discount rates, and by applying valuation multiples such as EV/Sales, EV/EBITDA, EV/EBITA, EV/EBIT and PER adjusted for different market, operational and risk profiles. In general, an illiquidity discount for unlisted assets is also applied.

Valuation of unlisted assets at 31 December 2020.
