Henrik Blomquist

CEO Bure Equity AB

Stock markets continued to perform negatively in the second quarter. The SIX Return index fell more than 17 per cent. The majority of Bure's listed portfolio companies lost value, which resulted in Bure's net asset value per share falling by 16 per cent in Q2. During the first six months of the year, Bure's net asset value per share thus decreased 39 per cent compared to the SIX Return, which fell by 28 per cent.

Gladly most of our portfolio companies reported strong interim results. Vitrolife, whose share price decreased the most during the quarter, took further steps to integrate Igenomix. "New" Vitrolife recorded 18 per cent organic growth and an EBITDA margin of 32.9 per cent. Mycronic reported stable turnover and order intake, with all divisions reporting double-digit operating margins.

Bure's unlisted portfolio companies also performed well. Allgon and ScandiNova increased turnover by roughly 15 per cent. However, Allgon's margin was slightly lower than the previous year, which was in part due to increases in component costs.

Cavotec faced the most severe challenges in the quarter with the lockdown of Shanghai for more than a month due to covid. This caused major disruption to Cavotec's production schedules and customer deliveries. In May, David Pagels was appointed as the new CEO of Cavotec.

High inflation and rising interest rates caused stock markets to revalue most sectors in the first six months of the year. Investors are currently looking for profitability, cash flow and predictability over growth and future potential. A fundamental component of Bure's company-building philosophy is profitable growth. We believe that profitable growth creates healthy and successful companies. Despite an uncertain future that is difficult to assess, I therefore feel considerable confidence in how our portfolio companies are addressing current market challenges.

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 and decided to re-classify the company as an investment entity.

An investment company does not consolidate subsidiaries in accordance with IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and does not apply IFRS 3 Operating Acquisitions with the exception of subsidiaries that are active in investing activities. An investment company values portfolio companies at fair value in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments.

Since 1 January 2021, the Bure Group consists of the parent company Bure Equity AB, Atle Investment Management AB and Bure Growth AB.

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 accounting principles for investments in portfolio companies, (subsidiaries, associated companies and other financial assets), were voluntarily changed in the first quarter of 2021, after which investments in shares in portfolio companies are subsequently reported at fair value via profit and loss in the same way as for the group.

For further information on accounting and valuation principles, please see Note 1 in the 2021 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 2021 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

the term of the debt.

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 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, 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 January 1, 2021. Unlisted associated companies were previously valued according to the equity method in accordance with IAS 28 Holdings in Associates and Joint Ventures, while subsidiaries were reported at amortized cost. Unlisted associated companies and subsidiaries consist of Allgon AB, Alcur Fonder AB, AMIP AB, Atle Investment Services AB, BioLamina AB, Fondbolaget Fondita Ab, HealthInvest Partners AB, 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 regularly 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.
