Bure divested 7.2 million shares in Ovzon for SEK 406M.

Events after the end of the period

The net asset value amounted to SEK 348.8 per share on 17 May 2026, corresponding to an increase of 30.6 per cent since the beginning of the year.

Silex Microsystems was listed on Nasdaq Stockholm on 7 May 2026.

Bure divested its remaining 0.9 million shares in Ovzon for SEK 52M.

Comments from the CEO

The already uncertain and challenging global market climate unfortunately worsened during the quarter with the armed conflict in the Middle East. In addition to the humanitarian consequences, the spillover effects on the economy could be extensive. After a positive start, SIX RX fell by 7.6 percent in March and for the quarter the index was down 1.2 percent.

Bure's net asset value per share fell by 9 percent during the first quarter. Unfortunately, several of the listed portfolio companies' fourth-quarter reports were received negatively by the market. The declines were significant in Yubico (-54.4%) and Vitrolife (-31.2%). On the other hand, we saw a recovery in Xvivo's share price, which rose by 22.7 percent. During the quarter, a write-down of the holding in Mentimeter of SEK 173 million was carried out. It may seem a bit unfortunate when the company reported a sharp improvement in earnings in 2025 and a stable start to 2026. The reason behind the write-down was the structural revaluation of SaaS and software companies based on concerns about how AI may affect these companies.

The portfolio companies' performance during the first quarter was positive, however. Of the listed portfolio companies, Mycronic impressed with new records for both sales and profit. Vitrolife reported growth of 5 percent in local currencies and an improved operating margin. Sales growth in local currencies accelerated sharply for Xvivo and amounted to 23 percent. Silex Microsystems also reported a strong quarter, but sales growth of 31 percent (in local currencies) and an operating margin of 34 percent.

The above excellent reports caused Bure's net asset value to rise sharply after the end of the period. At the time of writing, the net asset value has grown by 43 percent since the end of March, which corresponds to an increase of 31 percent since the beginning of the year.

During the quarter, 7.2 million shares in Ovzon were sold and after the end of the period we have sold the remaining holdings. Overall, the investment in Ovzon was successful for Bure with an exit profit of SEK 410M, corresponding to an IRR of 15.4 percent.

Finally, on May 7, Silex Microsystems was listed on the stock exchange. In November, the company communicated its intention to be listed on the stock exchange against the background that it opens up new opportunities for the business in a geopolitically complex environment. With a clear and strong Swedish ownership base, good conditions are created to expand globally and strengthen the company's position as a world-leading supplier of MEMS technology. Interest in the company proved to be great and the share rose by a full 247 percent on the first trading day.

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.

The financing of each portfolio company shall be well adapted to the company's specific situation.

Bure's 2025 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.

Notes

Note 1 – Accounting policies

Bure applies International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU. This Interim Report has been prepared in accordance 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.

Consolidation principles

Bure Equity is an investment entity in accordance with IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements.

An investment entity does not consolidate subsidiaries pursuant to IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and does not apply IFRS 3 Business Combinations, except for subsidiaries that provide investment-related services. An investment entity measures investments in companies and other financial assets at fair value in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments.

Since 1 January 2021, the Bure Group has consisted of the Parent Company Bure Equity AB, Atle Investment Management AB and Bure Growth AB.

Accounting policies in the Parent Company

The Parent Company's investments in companies and other financial assets are recognised at fair value through profit or loss in the same manner as in the Group.

For further information on accounting and measurement policies, see Note 1 in the 2025 Annual Report.

New accounting policies applied from 1 January 2026: Revised or amended IFRS standards are not expected to have any material impact on profit or loss and financial position.

Note 2 – Segment reporting

All operations in the Group are regarded as a single operating segment.

Note 3 – Effects of changes in estimates and judgements

Key estimates and judgements are presented in Note 1 in the 2025 Annual Report. No changes have been made that could have a material impact on this Interim Report.

Note 4 – Financial instruments

Fair value and carrying amount of financial assets and liabilities

Fair value has been determined for all financial assets and liabilities in accordance with IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement. Fair value is estimated to be equal to the carrying amount for trade receivables and other current receivables, cash and cash equivalents, trade payables and other liabilities and borrowings. Carrying amount less impairment is considered to represent the estimated fair value of trade receivables and trade payables. For long-term non-interest-bearing liabilities, fair value has been calculated by discounting future cash flows using current market interest rates for the term of the liability. The investment entity's financial assets and liabilities are classified in accordance with IFRS 13 in the following three categories:

Level 1: Quoted prices in an active market for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable inputs for the asset or liability other than quoted prices included in Level 1, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not entirely based on observable market data.

Bure measures all financial assets at fair value in accordance with the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation (IPEV) Guidelines. These guidelines describe a number of methods for determining the fair value of each holding. Particular emphasis is placed on recently completed arm's length transactions in the company, such as share issues or the acquisition of existing shares. Transactions in comparable companies may also be used. Other valuation methods include discounting forecast cash flows using an appropriate discount rate and applying valuation multiples such as EV/Sales, EV/EBITDA, EV/EBITA, EV/EBIT, P/E and P/AuM, which are adjusted to reflect differences in market, operations and risk. In general, a liquidity discount is applied to unlisted assets. Valuations are performed on an ongoing basis and published in connection with quarterly reports.
