Interim report January – March 2022

Henrik Blomquist

CEO Bure Equity AB

Interim period January – March 2022

  • Net asset value was SEK 233.9 per share compared to SEK 323.2 at the beginning of the year, which is equivalent to a reduction of 27.6 per cent.
  • Bure's net asset value was SEK 17,345M compared to SEK 23,964M at the beginning of the year.
  • Total return on the Bure share was -29.7 per cent, while the SIX Return Index fell 14.0 per cent.
  • Group earnings after tax amounted to SEK-6,616M (-259). Earnings per share amounted to SEK -89.33 (-3.59).
  • Bure divested Investment AB Bure to Sandahlsbolagen Sweden.
  • My Driving Academy acquired Mårtenssons and created Sweden's largest driving school with around 20,000 pupils a year and a market share of approximately 15 per cent. Bure Growth acquired shares for SEK 13M in My Driving Academy's rights issue.
  • Atle signed agreements for the acquisition of 51 per cent of Health Invest Partners AB. The Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority approved the acquisition after the balance sheet date.

Events after the balance sheet date

• Net asset value amounted to SEK 233.5 per share on 20 April 2022, which corresponds to a reduction of 27.8 per cent since the beginning of the year.

We experienced a dramatic shift in events in the first quarter of the year. 2021 ended with a strong stock market, supported by economic stimuli and the expectation of a return to normalcy as the effects of the pandemic began to subside. Accelerating inflation, rising interest rates, disruption to global supply chains and finally the awful war in Ukraine upended momentum and stock markets worldwide fell sharply. So-called growth and tech companies were especially exposed. In the United States, for example, more than one fifth of Nasdaq companies fell more than 75 per cent by mid-March.

Bure's net asset value per share fell by 27.6 per cent in the first quarter. The SIX Return index fell by 14 per cent during the same period. All listed portfolio companies lost value. Vitrolife was hardest hit, losing as much as 44 per cent of its value. Over the past 12 months, however, Vitrolife's share price is still up 10 per cent.

A number of transactions were completed during the quarter. In January, Investment AB Bure, Bure's locomotive leasing business, was sold to Sandahlsbolagen. My Driving Academy merged with rival Mårtenssons Trafikskola, forming Sweden's largest driving school group. In February, Atle Investment Management acquired 51 per cent of HealthInvest Partners, which is an independent investment company specialising in the healthcare sector.

Since the end of the period, the stock market has recovered somewhat. However, given the course of events during the first quarter, it is not inconceivable that we are moving towards more challenging times. Continued high inflation and rising interest rates may ultimately hit demand and thus dampen the level of industrial activity. Add to that the difficulties in global supply chains affecting the availability of materials and components as well as rising prices for transport, electricity, etc. For Bure as a good owner, it is important to be present and proactively support the portfolio companies.

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.

This change is purely forward-looking, but a recalculation of comparison periods has been carried out to simplify comparisons. In the consolidated accounts, recalculated historical financial data is presented under "Re-calculated" 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 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 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, 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. 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, AMIP AB, Atle Investment Services AB, BioLamina AB, Fondbolaget Fondita 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 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.
