Comments from the CEO

Following a strong start to the quarter, market sentiment shifted dramatically in February. The new US administration's foreign policy rhetoric and trade policy, involving the introduction of sharply increased tariffs, shook financial markets and geopolitical relationships. US assets were the most negatively impacted, with the S&P500 plummeting more than 10 per cent from its peak, the dollar losing value, and long-term interest rates trending upward. The altered trade situation is expected to have a direct impact on supply chains and access to materials, resulting in cost increases. But the key question is how global trade barriers will impact overall demand and economic growth. Unfortunately, there is an imminent risk of higher inflation, reduced consumption, and less propensity to invest. The situation is changing rapidly, however, particularly as new announcements are made from the US administration.

Several of Bure's listed portfolio companies saw their share prices fall during the quarter. Xvivo fell 42 per cent, Yubico 26 per cent, and Vitrolife 25 per cent. Meanwhile, Ovzon rose 56 per cent and Mycronic 5 per cent. Overall, Bure's net asset value per share fell just over 10 per cent this quarter. The SIX RX fell marginally, by 0.2 per cent, during the quarter.

Despite the market turbulence and falling share prices, several portfolio companies reported strong quarterly results. Mycronic reported a good start to the year, with a 27 per cent increase in turnover and an operating

margin of 33 per cent. Xvivo reported an increase in both turnover and operating profit, despite its relatively high level of exposure to the US. Vitrolife performed favourably in all product areas, particularly in Europe and America, but had a challenging quarter in Asia. BioLamina and Mentimeter were stand-outs among the unlisted portfolio companies, with growth of 20 and 14 per cent, respectively, during the quarter.

In conclusion, a functioning world trade is important for economic prosperity and growth. Investment decisions are based on the assumption that important parameters are predictable in the long term. As it stands now, uncertainty remains high as conditions are continuously changing. The hope is therefore that we will see pragmatic solutions going forward to create more stability.

Interim report January – March 2025

Significant risks and uncertainties

In view of the rapid rate of change on the financial markets, special emphasis is placed on monitoring the effects of Bure's investments and their valuations. 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 2024 annual report provides a detailed description of the Group's risk exposure and risk management in the administration report and in Note 15. Bure's assessment is that no significant risks have arisen other than those described in the annual report and in this interim report. This interim report has not been subject to review by the auditors.

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 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.
