The war in Ukraine has accelerated the slow down in the global economy and introduced new challenges and risks. Public markets have seen a sell off, the financing markets are more restrictive, and as a result, activity levels in private markets have slowed down. EQT is continuing to prepare portfolio companies for a downturn, while actively evaluating new investment opportunities. Our undivided attention is on generating continued resilient returns for our clients across cycles through our thematic investment strategy.
We entered 2022 with inflationary pressures, expectations of higher interest rates, continued Covid-19-restrictions and sustained global supply chain issues. As the tragic war in Ukraine continues, we are seeing spiking energy prices, and consumer demand may deteriorate as higher interest rates and inflation start to hamper demand despite robust labor markets.
The EQT portfolio companies initiated work in 2021 to manage a higher inflationary environment. As inflation has accelerated throughout the year, we have worked closely with portfolio companies to manage sourcing and pricing. Our portfolio companies generally have a strong ability to manage inflation although a few portfolio companies have seen an impact from e.g. higher fuel or equipment prices, or increasing salary levels - factors which are being actively managed. Our portfolio companies generally have a strong market position, meaning they do have pricing power.
With interest rates on the rise, EQT's capital markets team is working closely with portfolio companies to manage financing structures. The current portfolio is robust with average maturities of more than 4 and 6 years across EQT Private Equity and EQT Infrastructure, respectively, while the around 70% of financings are fixed rate.
We remain disciplined in our thematic investment approach, aiming to identify best-in-class assets in attractive markets, supported by long-term secular trends that are not directly connected to the economic cycle.
Portfolio companies in our Key funds have performed well over the past year, growing sales and EBITDA primarily through organic growth at 24% and 18%, respectively. As most of our portfolio companies have a lower correlation to economic activity, we may only see a softening later in the cycle. We are therefore closely monitoring both demand and activity levels across all of our portfolio companies and assets as we move into the second half of 2022.
The valuations of our Key fund in EQT Private Equity and EQT Infrastructure have been largely flat for three consecutive quarters as lower valuation benchmarks have offset the strong underlying performance. All of our key funds continue to develop "on plan" or "above plan".
Given the market conditions, investment activity has been slower compared to last year. The recent acquisition of SPT Labtech - a leading provider of life sciences tools - is an example of a platform that we can further build with both

organic growth and add-on acquisitions.
With a consistent performance track-record and a global client base, we are well positioned in this new fundraising environment. For EQT X, we have closed out about two thirds of the fund size, EQT Growth is progressing well, and the outlook for Infrastructure and Real Estate fundraisings remains healthy. BPEA*'s ongoing flagship fundraising is similarly proceeding well. Fundraising for EQT's new, recently launched, investment strategies are more challenging and will take longer to conclude in this market.
Based on EQT's existing funds, including the fundraisings launched in 2022, and BPEA*'s funds at closing, we expect to have more than EUR 50bn of commitments ("dry powder") available to deploy.
The availability of bank financing for new investments is significantly tighter. Resilient, high-quality companies can still be financed in the private markets, but large scale financings will be difficult in the current environment.
Having had a very active exit agenda in recent years, EQT now has a young portfolio. We can therefore be patient also when it comes to exits. The few realizations done in 2022 have been made at attractive valuations, securing returns for our clients.
Our committment to drive sustainability across the portfolio, creating resilience and more valuable companies, is only stronger in this environment. We have an opportunity to accelerate our energy transition, and higher energy prices mean our commitment to creating, for example, energy efficient buildings is even more important.
Last year, we became the first private markets firm to set science-based targets, establishing a model for our portfolio companies to follow. This year, we expect to support about 40 portfolio companies on the same journey, setting their own science-based targets. EQT was also the first private markets firm to issue sustainability-linked bonds, linked to reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and gender diversity targets across EQT and the portfolio, with the most recent issues of sustainability-linked bonds in March.
EQT's digital capacity is an integral part of our value creation toolbox, including the proprietary AI-driven investment platform, Motherbrain, which uses machine learning and advanced analytics to equip EQT's investment advisory teams with data. In the first quarter, Alexandra Lutz - with a strong background in tech - was appointed Head of Motherbrain.
EQT continues to execute on its strategic agenda, further strengthening our ability to generate returns for our clients and make a positive impact at scale. We have continued to hire outstanding talent at a good pace, and about 100 people have joined through our recent acquisitions. Whilst hiring efforts will continue to secure long term growth, recruitment will be lower in the second half of the year.
Our combination with BPEA*, announced in the first quarter, marks a significant step on our strategic journey, as we expand our active ownership strategies across the globe. Together, we believe that we will become a smarter and even more diversified investor, set to deliver consistent returns for our clients.
When markets were strong, we sought to never become
complacent. To be prepared for any macro scenario is part of our model. It's at the core of what we call future-proofing. We have delivered resilient and strong returns for our clients over close to three decades, managing challenges along the way. EQT's Key funds have consistently delivered more than 2x Gross MOIC to our clients since inception and every Key fund has delivered carried interest.
As we look ahead, we are about to take further important steps to strengthen EQT's global platform with the pending activation of EQT X, the upcoming launch of EQT Infrastructure VI and the closing of the combination of BPEA*, while ensuring tight control of our operating costs.

Current assets amounted to EUR 3,015m (EUR 1,532m). The increase was primarily driven by the part of the consideration paid that was subject to lock-up and hence treated as a personnel expense from an accounting perspective and recorded as a prepayment over the lock-up period, see Note 7.
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period amounted to EUR 1,943m (EUR 588m). The increase relates to the issue of the sustainability linked bonds. Net debt amounted to EUR 57m (EUR 88m in net cash).
Equity increased to EUR 3,286m (EUR 2,943m). The increase is mainly due to current year's net income as well as the new share issue as a result of the LSP acquisition.
Non-current liabilities amounted to EUR 2,137m (EUR 592m). The increase relates to the issue of EUR 1,500m sustainability-linked bonds, see further under Signifi cant events during the period.
Current liabilities amounted to EUR 482m (EUR 357m). The increase is mainly explained by the unpaid part of the dividend.
The parent company's profi t before tax amounted to SEK 2,630m (SEK 1,525m). The increase is mainly explained by a timing e ect of dividends from subsidiaries.
As of 27 January 2022 EQT completed the acquisition of Bear Logi. Bear Logi, founded in Tokyo, Japan in 2009, is a valueadd logistics investment manager focused on acquisitions, development, construction and leasing, with extensive knowledge of the Japanese and Korean logistics markets, with around 25 employees by the time of closing. See Note 7.
As of 28 February 2022 EQT completed the acquisition of LSP ("Life Sciences Partners"), a leading European life sciences venture capital fi rm with, by the time of closing, approximately EUR 2.2bn of assets under management (AUM) and a team of 34 FTEs. LSP, headquartered in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, is a venture capital fi rm that invests in innovative companies with strong scientifi c and clinical rationale across several life sciences strategies. It was founded in 1998 and is today one of Europe's largest and most experienced life sciences investment fi rms. LSP strengthens EQT's position as one of the leading and most active private market investors in the healthcare sector. LSP generated approximately EUR 37m in revenues and approximately EUR 24m in EBITDA (excluding carried interest) during 2021. EQT acquired 100 percent of the LSP management company and 20 percent of the right to carried interest in selected LSP funds. In addition, EQT AB will be entitled to 35 percent of the carried interest of future funds, which is in line with existing EQT policies. See Note 7.
As of 10 June 2022 EQT completed the acquisition of Redwood Capital Group ("RCG"), a residential core plus and value-add investment manager headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, USA. RCG was founded in 2007 and is deeply experienced in all operating areas, including acquisition, asset management, construction management and property management. RCG has successfully executed 79 multifamily investments in high-growth US markets, including 48 realized investments that achieved in excess of 2x equity returns across more than 22,000 units. Investments comprise deal-by-deal joint ventures on behalf of multiple institutional clients, including global fund sponsors, insurance companies and family o ces. See Note 7.
As announced on 16 March 2022 EQT signed an agreement to acquire Baring Private Equity Asia ("BPEA"). BPEA has a strong performance and growth track-record and fi ts perfectly with EQT's culture and core values: high-performing, respectful, entrepreneurial, informal, and transparent. With 10 regional o ces, BPEA also combines local execution with a Pan-Asian reach (236 FTE+ as of 2021), mirroring EQT's local-with-locals approach. BPEA brings 100+ new clients to EQT and AUM as of Q2 2022 was EUR 20.2bn (EUR 17.7bn as of signing). Total consideration is EUR 6.8bn on a cash and debt free basis, of which approximately EUR 5.3bn is to be paid through the issue of 191.2 million new EQT AB ordinary shares (corresponding to a dilution of approximately 16 percent), plus EUR 1.5bn in cash. See Note 7.
On 6 April 2022 EQT AB issued a EUR 750m sustainabiltylinked bond maturing in 2028 and a EUR 750m sustainability-linked bond maturing in 2032 (the "SLBs"). The SLBs have a coupon of 2.375 percent per annum for the bond maturing in 2028 and 2.875 percent per annum for the bond maturing in 2032. EQT intends to use the net proceeds of the SLBs, together with the issue of ordinary shares and cash, to fund the consideration and transaction expenses in connection with the combination of BPEA. The SLBs are subject to separate step-ups in their respective interest rates if the sustainability performance target is not met. The SLBs' thus reinforces EQT's approach of having sustainability as an integral part of the business model of both the EQT AB Group and the EQT funds' portfolio companies.
The target fund sizes were set for EQT X (EUR 20.0bn), EQT Active Core Infrastructure (EUR 5bn) and EQT Ventures III (EUR 0.9bn). The hard cap for EQT X was set at EUR 21.5bn.
EQT X closed out commitments of about two thirds of the fund size and active fundraising is expected to be materially concluded in 2022, with fi nal close expected in 2023.
No signifi cant related party transactions have occurred during the period.
There have been no signifi cant changes in pledged assets and contingent liabilities compared to the latest annual report.
The EQT AB Group is exposed to a number of business, strategic, legal, tax, operational and fi nancial risks. The fi nancial risks are related to factors such as credit, liquidity, interest, revaluation and foreign exchange risks, which could lead to fi nancial losses if not managed properly. Financial risks are reported to the CFO on a regular basis to ensure they remain in line with the EQT AB Group's risk profi le.
The war in Ukraine has accelerated the slow down in the global economy and introduced new challenges and risks. Public markets have seen a sell o , the fi nancing markets are more restrictive, and as a result, activity levels in private markets have slowed down. EQT is continuing to prepare portfolio companies for a downturn, while actively evaluating new investment opportunities. Our undivided attention is on generating continued resilient returns for our clients across cycles through our thematic investment strategy.

We have reviewed the condensed interim fi nancial information (interim report) of EQT AB (publ) as of 30 June 2022 and the six-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim fi nancial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for fi nancial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and other generally accepted auditing practices and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all signifi cant matters that might be identifi ed in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.

The CEO of EQT AB Group has been identifi ed as the chief operating decision maker. EQT AB Group is divided into operating segments based on how the CEO reviews and evaluates the operation. The operating segments correspond to the internal reporting used to assess performance and to allocate resources.
EQT's operations are divided into two business segments: Private Capital and Real Assets. The operations of both business segments consist of providing investment management services in the private investment markets. The investment management services comprise i.a. structuring and investment advice, investment management and monitoring as well as reporting and administrative services.
The business segment Private Capital consists of the business lines EQT Ventures, EQT Life Sciences, EQT Growth, EQT Private Equity, EQT Public Value and EQT Future. The business segment Real Assets consists of the business lines EQT Infrastructure, EQT Active Core Infrastrucure and EQT Exeter.
The CEO assesses the operating segments based on the line items presented below, primarily on revenue and Gross segment results. Segment revenues have been adjusted by removing the fair value adjustment of acquired contractual rights to carried interest. Accordingly, the acquired contractual right to carried interest refl ects the sellers carrying amount adjusted to EQT AB Group's accounting policies, i.e. the accrued income excluding the fair value uplift made at the acquisition date in the consolidated accounts of EQT AB Group. The di erence between the carrying amount and fair value of accrued carried interest is primarily due to the constraint requirements of IFRS 15 of variable performance-based income refl ected through the application of the Group's prudent revenue recognition model for carried interest. Expenses directly incurred by each respective business segment are included in the Gross segment result, whereas
items reported under Central have not been allocated to any business segment. Central consists of the fund operations organization as well as EQT AB Group management, client relations and capital raising, EQT Digital and other specialist functions such as HR and fi nance. Central revenue arises from services provided to fund managers of EQT funds raised before 2012, as well as to certain other non-consolidated entities.
Reconciliations consist of revenue adjustments (see above) as well as items a ecting comparability. Items a ecting comparability in H1 2021 relate to an adjustment of the part of the consideration paid in shares subject to lock-up in relation to the acquisition of Exeter and transaction and integration costs as well as amortization of identifi ed surplus values in relation to the acquisition.

EQT AB Group's business of providing fund management services cannot reliably and fairly be reviewed by geographical areas. EQT AB Group's fund investors may often be located in multiple jurisdictions and the funds through which the fund investors invest are located in a few centers where fund management services are provided, principally Luxembourg.
EQT has commitments of future cash outfl ows based on signed agreements relating to committed amounts regarding fi nancial investments. At 30 June 2022, the EQT AB Group had remaining commitments to invest in multiple EQT funds and fund related vehicles of a total amount of EUR 739m (EUR 603m). The commitments are called over time, normally between one to fi ve years following the commitment.
Carried interest is a share of profi ts that the EQT AB Group receives through its holdings in the Special Limited Partners as variable consideration fully dependent on the performance of the relevant fund. Carried interest is either payable at the end of the life of the fund or paid as installments at the time of realization within each fund, or a combination thereof.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
EQT AB Group measures fair values using the following fair value hierarchy that refl ects the signifi cance of the inputs used in making the measurements:
EQT AB Group measures investments in investment programs at fair value in the balance sheet. The fair value for these investments at 30 June 2022 was EUR 529m (EUR 478m) and is calculated using inputs that are not based on observable market data and are therefore classifi ed as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. There has not been any transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy during the periods presented.
The table below shows a reconciliation of level 3 fair values for fi nancial investments.
| EURm | 30 June 2022 |
31 December 2021 |
|---|---|---|
| Opening balance | 478 | 167 |
| Net change in fair value | 7 | 73 |
| Acquisitions | 1 | 3 |
| Investments | 60 | 488 |
| Divestments | -17 | -253 |
| Balance end of period | 529 | 478 |
Net change in fair value is included in "Carried interest and investment income" in the income statement.
Part of the purchase price in relation to the sale of business segment Credit was variable and dependent on the size of future funds. Depending on the size of the future funds the variable compensation (earn-out) can range between EUR 0 and EUR 50m. EQT AB Group measures the earn-out to fair value in the balance sheet. The fair value at 30 June 2022 amounted to EUR 21m (EUR 21m as of year-end) and is calculated using inputs that are not based on observable market data and are therefore classifi ed as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. A change in the fair value will be included in "net income for the period from discontinued operations" in the income statement.
From an EQT AB Group perspective, fi nancial investments are normally measured at fair value applying the adjusted net asset values of the investment programs. A reasonable possible change of 10% in the adjusted net asset value would a ect the fair value of the investments at 30 June 2022 with EUR 53m (EUR 48m). The e ect would be recognized in the income statement.
Although the EQT AB Group believes that its estimates of fair values are appropriate, the use of di erent methodologies and di erent unobservable inputs in the underlying investments of investment programs could lead to di erent measurements of fair value. Due to the number of unobservable input factors used in the valuation of the investment programs' direct investments and their broad range, in particular concerning the earnings multiples, a sensitivity analysis on these underlying unobservable input factors does not result in meaningful outcomes.
As part of the discontinued operations related to Credit, a reasonable possible change of 10% in the size of future funds would not have a material impact on the fair value of the earn-out as of 30 June 2022. The e ect would be recognized in net income for the period from discontinued operations.
EQT AB has issued sustainability-linked bonds (classifi ed as an interest-bearing liability in the balance sheet) with fi xed coupon rates linked to ESG-related objectives. Fair value as of 30 June 2022 amounts to EUR 1,693m (carrying amount: EUR 2,000m). EQT AB Group's other fi nancial instruments consist mainly of short-term receivables, accounts payable, deposits in commercial banks. The Group considers the carrying amounts of those fi nancial instruments to be reasonable approximations of their fair values.
