Review Report

Introduction

We have reviewed the interim report for AB Industrivärden (publ) as of 30 June 2025 and for the period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial 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 (ISA) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

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, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act for the Group and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act for the Parent Company.

Notes

Note 1 Accounting policies

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting. Disclosures in accordance with IAS 34.16A are provided – in addition to the financial statements and their accompanying notes – also in other parts of the interim report. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as endorsed by the EU and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The Parent Company financial statements have been prepared in accordance with RFR 2 – Accounting for Legal Entities, and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. New or revised IFRS Accounting Standards and interpretations from the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) have not had any material effect on the Group's or Parent Company's reporting during the period.

Note 2 Financial instruments

In accordance with IFRS 13, financial instruments are carried at fair value based on a 3-level hierarchy. The classification is based on the input data used in the valuation of the instruments. Instruments in Level 1 are valued at quoted prices for identical instruments in an active market. Instruments in Level 2 are valued in a valuation model which uses input data that is directly or indirectly observable in the market. Input data used in the valuation model in Level 2 includes interest rates, volatility, and dividend estimates. Instruments in Level 3 are valued using a valuation technique based on input data that is not observable in a market. The valuation technique that is used for the financial instruments in Level 3 is based on net assets in the respective subsidiaries measured at fair value. No changes between the levels occurred compared with the preceding year.
