Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Plan Administrator and Participants
Ericsson US 401(k) Plan
Plano, Texas
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Ericsson US 401(k) Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plans management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Plans financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Plan in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plans internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the Plans management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Supplemental Information
The supplemental information in the accompanying schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2020 has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plans financial statements. The supplemental information is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but included supplemental information required by the Department of Labors Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Plans management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming

our opinion on the supplemental information, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the Department of Labors Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the supplemental information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.
We have served as the Plans auditor since 2004.

(Thousands of dollars)
- THE PLAN
The following description of the Ericsson US 401(k) Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plans provision. The Plan was created by action of the board of directors of Ericsson Inc. (the Company or Ericsson or the Employer) on May 27, 1983, effective July 1, 1983. The Plan is a defined contribution plan and is administered by an administrative committee (the Committee) which monitors the investment objectives and performance of the Plans individual investment options.
The Plan is a single employer plan.
Effective August 24, 2009, a Master Trust was created to permit the commingling of trust assets of both the Plan and the Ericsson Services 401(k) Plan. On December 28, 2012 the Ericsson Services 401(k) Plan was merged into the Ericsson US 401(k) Plan formerly called the Ericsson Capital Accumulation and Savings Plan. Total assets transferred into the Plan due to the merger were approximately $140,800. Effective July 18, 2016 Great-West Trust (Trustee) was made trustee of the Plan and the Master Trust was dissolved. Empower Retirement, the retirement services business of Great-West Financial, is the recordkeeper of the Plan.
Each pay period participant contributions are remitted to the Plan made to the Trustee for investment. There is currently one stable value fund, five mutual funds, seven commingled funds, twelve common collective trusts and two separately managed accounts. In addition, there is a self directed brokerage account (SDA) to which participants may direct their investments. The SDA allows access to a wide variety of mutual funds, stocks and bonds. Brokerage services are provided through the Trustee. Employees interested in SDA can contact Empower or by visiting empower-retirement.com/participant to request an enrollment kit which includes application information or can contact the call center and request an application. Participants can choose these options for their contributions as well as the Company contributions.
Effective January 31, 2019 the CENX, Inc. 401(k) Plan was merged into the Plan. This allowed the CENX, Inc. employees who satisfied the eligibility requirements of the Plan participation in the Plan. Total assets transferred into the Plan due to the merger were approximately $1,272
- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting
The Plans financial statements are presented using the accrual method of accounting in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and changes therein. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019, AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020
(Thousands of dollars)
Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan provides for various investment options as described in Note 1. The underlying investments held by the investment options may include stocks, bonds, fixed income securities, mutual funds and other investment securities. Such investments are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities in the near term could materially affect participants account balances and the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for benefits
The Novel Coronavirus Pandemic or COVID-19 (Coronavirus) has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which have included the implementation of travel restrictions, government-imposed shelter-in-place orders, quarantine periods, social distancing, and restrictions on large gatherings, have caused material disruption to businesses globally, resulting in increased unemployment, a recession and increased economic uncertainty. These measures have moderated in 2021 as vaccines have become more widely available in the United States and Canada. The duration and impact of the Coronavirus on the overall economy cannot be determined at this time.
Contributions and Contributions Receivables
Contributions are recorded on the accrual method of accounting. Contributions receivable are obligations arising from amounts owed to the Plan from participants or the Employer that have not been included in the Plans investments at year end. Contributions receivable are recorded at cost, which approximates their fair value. Total contributions receivable were $1,458 and $1,430 at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Valuation of Investments
The Plans investments are reported at fair value. At December 31, 2020 and 2019 the Plan held Stable Value Funds which were reported at contract value. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount 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 (the exit price). See Note 4 for further discussion of fair value and fair value measurements. See Note 8 for further discussion of investment carried at contract value.
Investment Income
Purchases and sales of the investments within the Plan are reflected on a trade-date basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Other income includes the net appreciation (depreciation), interest and dividends of the investments held in the SDA and separately managed accounts.
Security Transactions
The Plan presents in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits the net appreciation or depreciation in the fair value of its investments which consists of the realized gains

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Thousands of dollars)
and losses and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those investments. Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed) as the difference between proceeds received and historical cost. Unrealized gains and losses represent the net change in market value of investments held during the year which are presented at fair value, with adjustments for investments sold.
Upon withdrawal from the Plan, participants invested in Company stock may elect to receive cash or Company stock. Whenever a participant receives stock, the difference between the cost of such stock and the market value on the applicable valuation date is reflected as a realized gain or loss of the Plan. Gains or losses are also realized whenever stocks are sold in satisfaction of the participants election to take cash upon withdrawal.
Vesting and Forfeitures
Company and active participants capital accumulation contributions, and participants savings contributions, and the earnings thereon, are fully and immediately vested, with the exception of non-active participants transferred in from other plans, which continue to be subject to the former plans vesting requirements. Accordingly, the forfeiture balance as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 was$1,962 and $2,328, respectively. During 2020, $41 of forfeitures were used to pay Plan administrative expenses.
Expenses of the Plan
Most costs and expenses of the Plan and its administration, including all fees and expenses of the Trustee, are paid by the Company. All taxes, commissions and other charges on purchases, sales and transfers of Company stock and other securities are paid by the Trustee out of the fund or account involved in such purchase or sale. Participants are responsible for their own managed account fees, brokerage fees, and loan fees. A quarterly administrative fee is charged to each participants account.
Administration
The Committee is responsible for the general administration of the Plan and for carrying out its provisions. Members of the Committee serve without compensation from the Plan.
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law. The CARES Act, among other things, includes several relief provisions available to tax-qualified retirement plans and their participants. Plan management has evaluated the relief provisions available to plan participants under the CARES Act and has implemented the following provisions:
Special coronavirus distributions up to $100,000
Increase of the available loan amount to the lesser of $100,000 or 100% of the participants vested account balance
Extended the period for loan repayments up to one year
Updating the minimum required distribution rules
During 2020, the Plan had special coronavirus distributions in the amount of $11,600.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019, AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020
(Thousands of dollars)
Notes Receivable from Participants
Notes receivables from participants may be granted to participants in an amount not to exceed 50% of the participants contribution account. The maximum loan amount is fifty thousand dollars minus the participants highest loan balance (if any) during the previous 12 months; the minimum loan amount is one thousand dollars. Loans may be repaid through payroll deductions over a selected period between 12 months and 60 months. An employee is allowed only one loan at a time. If an employee misses payments, he/she will be required to make up the payments and accrued interest immediately. Failure to keep the loan current could result in the loan being classified as a deemed distribution, which is taxable income to the employee. Interest on the loan is set at the time of issuance, and the rate is the prime rate plus 1%. At December 31, 2020, interest rates range from 4.25% to 6.50%. Notes receivable from participants are reported at their outstanding principal plus any accrued interest.
Termination Priorities
The Company reserves the right, by action of the board, to amend, suspend or terminate the Plan. In the event that the Plan is terminated or the Company discontinues its contributions, all amounts allocated to the participants accounts and all assets held under the Plan will be held for distribution to the participants.
The Company currently has no plans to terminate the Plan.
Benefit Payments
At December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no benefit claims which had been processed and approved for payment but not yet paid. At Empower Retirement, the recordkeeper of the Plan, benefit payments are determined, paid and taxed to participants based upon the date the check is first processed. For financial statement purposes, benefit payments are recorded when paid.
- PLAN PARTICIPATION
The Company offers the Plan for eligible U.S. employees to which qualified employees may elect to contribute stated percentages of eligible pay. Participation by eligible employees is voluntary and is defined as any regular salaried or hourly employee who is employed by a participating employer and receives regular compensation in the form of a weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly or monthly salary from an Ericsson U.S. payroll. All eligible employees may immediately participate in the Plan. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the number of active participants were roughly 6,300 and 6,500, respectively.
Eligible participants may contribute on a pre-tax and/or Roth basis any whole percentage from 1% to 50% of their eligible earnings up to current IRS limits into the Capital Accumulation 401(k) portion of the Plan; participants may also contribute any whole percentage from 1% to 5% of their eligible earnings to the Savings portion on an after-tax basis. The Company contributes 3% of a participants eligible pay for employees who are not actively participating in the Companys Defined Benefit Plan, whether or not the employee contributes. The Company also matches 100% of the first 3% and an additional 50% on the 4 th % and 5 th % contributed. All employee and Employer contributions are 100% vested immediately.

(Thousands of dollars)
Participants may change their percentage payroll deduction elections at anytime during the year using the web-based Empower Retirement Retireonline system. Participants may change investment percentages between funds at any time during the year. Participants may transfer existing fund balances to other available investment options at any time during the year. There are no restrictions on the transfer of investment balances from LM Ericsson Telephone Co. shares of Common Stock to other investment funds.
Each participants account is credited with the participants contributions, Company contributions and Plan earnings. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participants vested account. Participants may direct the investment of their account balances into various investment options offered by the Plan.
Participants may, at any time, request certain in-service withdrawals in the form of a normal or hardship withdrawal. Normal withdrawals may be requested from the Employee Savings account and Company Savings account for money that has been in the Plan for at least 24 full calendar months. Hardship withdrawals must meet certain requirements including approval by the Committee.
- FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The accounting standards establish a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of the following three valuation techniques noted in Accounting Standards Codification ASC Topic 820; A) Market approach: Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities. B) Cost approach: Amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost). C) Income approach: Techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based upon market expectation (including present value techniques, option-pricing and excess earnings models).
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for the investments measured at fair value, including the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.
Mutual Funds
Mutual funds represent investments with various registered investment managers. The fair values of these investments are determined by reference to the funds underlying assets, which are principally marketable equity and fixed income securities. Shares held in mutual funds traded on national securities exchanges are valued at the quoted market price as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and classified as Level 1 assets.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019, AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020
(Thousands of dollars)
Self-Directed Brokerage Accounts (SDA)
A majority of the SDA accounts include investments in cash and cash equivalents, common stock, and registered investment companies and are classified as Level 2 investments. Cash and cash equivalent investments include cash and short-term interest-bearing investments with initial maturities of three months or less. Such amounts are recorded at cost, plus accrued interest. Common stock traded in active markets on national securities exchanges are valued at closing prices on the last business day of each period presented. Securities traded in markets that are not considered active are valued based on quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. Securities that trade infrequently and therefore have little or no price transparency are valued using the Plans investment managers best estimates. Mutual funds in registered investment companies are valued as mentioned above.
Commingled Funds and Common Collective Trusts
Valued using the Net Asset Value (NAV) provided by the administrator of the fund. The NAV is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the fund minus applicable costs and liabilities and then divided by the number of shares outstanding. As these assets are measured at net asset value, they are therefore excluded from the fair value hierarchy and included in other.
Common Stocks
Ericsson Inc. common stock and common stocks held in participant-directed brokerage accounts are stated at fair value as quoted on a recognized securities exchange and are valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of the Plan year and are classified as Level 1 investments.
Separately Managed Accounts
Self-managed fund consisting of a portfolio of assets under the management of a professional investment firm and primarily valued using prices obtained from independent pricing services and are classified as Level 2 investments.
The following tables provide information about the financial assets carried at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

The funds invest in a combination of equity, fixed income and short-term JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A Commingled Pension Trust Funds and/or funds maintained by unaffiliated banks and trust companies, which includes vehicles with lower levels of active risk.
(c) Intermediate-term bond funds aim to generate excess return from top-down sector allocation and bottom-up subsector/security selection. Duration and yield curve are tactically managed.
(d) Multiple investment trust is a combination of funds including large cap growth equity trust, mid cap value equity trust, small cap value equity trust, value yield equity trust, global growth equity trust and real estate securities trust.
(e) Mid-cap value equity trust invests its assets in a majority of equity securities of medium-sized companies.

(Thousands of dollars)
- PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS
Certain Plan investments are Common Stock shares of LM Ericsson Telephone Company, a related party of Ericsson Inc. Ericsson Inc. sponsors the plan; therefore, these investments qualify as a party-in-interest transaction. The Plan recorded purchases of $22,001 and sales of $28,822 of the Companys stock during the year ended December 31, 2020.
- TAX STATUS OF THE PLAN
Management believes that the Plan is qualified under section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and therefore, the trust is exempt from taxation under section 501(a). The Internal Revenue Service granted a favorable letter of determination to the Plan covering its most recent amendments on April 6, 2017. Generally, contributions to a qualified plan are deductible by the Company when made, earnings of the trust are tax exempt and participants are not taxed on their benefits until withdrawn from the Plan.
Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter, management believes that the Plan is designed, and is currently being operated, in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC and, therefore, believe that the Plan is qualified, and the related trust is tax-exempt.
GAAP requires plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the organization has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Plan Administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2020, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of the liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.
- FINANCIAL ASSETS CARRIED AT CONTRACT VALUE

In 2020, the Plan had invested in the Wells Fargo Stable Return Fund W (a) and replaced it with the Ericsson US 401(k) Putnam Stable Value Fund.
The Plan holds investments in synthetic guaranteed investment contracts (synthetic GICs) as part of the stable value fund. The investments in synthetic GICs are presented at fair value on the table of

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019, AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020
(Thousands of dollars)
the investments held in the Plan. The fair value of the synthetic GICs equals the total of the fair value of the underlying assets plus the total wrap rebid value, which is calculated by discounting the annual rebid fee, due to rebid, over the duration of the contract assets.
In determining the net assets available for benefits, the synthetic GICs are recorded at their contract values, which are equal to principal balance plus accrued interest. As provided in ASC 962, an investment contract is generally valued at contract value, rather than fair value, to the extent it is fully benefit-responsive.
The Stable Value Funds are credited with earnings on the underlying investments and charged for participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. The synthetic GICs issuers are contractually obligated to repay the principal and a specified interest rate that is guaranteed to the Plan.
The GICs are included in the financial statements at contract value as reported to the Plan by the Trustee, the investment manager. Contract value represents contributions made under the contract, plus earnings, less participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value. There are currently no reserves against contract values for credit risk of the contract issuers or otherwise.
- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Plan has evaluated the effects of events that have occurred subsequent to December 31, 2020, through the issuance of these financial statements and have identified no subsequent events.
