Dear fellow shareholders,
Covid-19 has caused a global health crisis and significantly impacted the world economy during the second quarter. Compared to the gloomiest days in the beginning of the quarter, we have seen a rebound in leading indicators and economic activity. However, the sustainability of and strength of the recovery
remains uncertain and depends on the development of the pandemic and initiatives by business and governments to handle it.
During the second quarter, our adjusted net asset value increased by 14 percent. Our total shareholder return was 9 percent while the SIXRX return index gained 17 percent. During the first half of 2020, our adjusted net asset value grew by 3 percent, our total shareholder return was -2 percent while the SIXRX return index lost 4 percent.
The total return of our listed companies was 19 percent during the quarter, with all companies contributing positively. Husqvarna, Sobi and Electrolux were the strongest performers.
We invested SEK 0.5bn in ABB, taking our year-to-date investments in the company to SEK 2.1bn.
Activity within the companies remained high. Right after the end of the quarter, ABB finalized the sale of Power Grids, paving the way for enhanced focus on the remaining business and significant share buybacks. Atlas Copco closed the strategic acquisition of ISRA VISION and Sobi entered a licensing agreement relating to a novel treatment of chronic refractory gout, further broadening its product portfolio.
Based on estimated market values, the total return for Patricia Industries was -2 percent. Earnings and currency had a negative impact, which was partly mitigated by multiple expansion.
As expected, following a strong first quarter, covid-19 meant the second quarter was more challenging for the major subsidiaries. For these companies in aggregate, organic sales declined by 19 percent, while EBITA fell 25 percent. In total, including our share of Three Scandinavia, EBITDA was down 18 percent. In line with expectations, Mölnlycke, Sarnova and Three Scandinavia showed more resilience than BraunAbility, Laborie, Permobil and Piab.
In this exceptional quarter, with sales down almost 20 percent, being able to preserv about 80 percent of the profit is a testimony to both resilience and agility. I am impressed by our management teams' decisiveness and speed in taking actions to adapt.
Organically, Mölnlycke's sales fell by 7 percent in constant currency. During the quarter, growth gradually improved and was positive in June. Profitability was almost in line with last year and cash flow was strong. New agreements related to personal protective equipment are expected to have a significant positive impact on sales during the remainder of 2020. Mölnlycke's overall sales growth is expected to be strong during the third quarter.
Sarnova's organic sales declined by 2 percent in constant currency, while margins improved.
Three Scandinavia reported service revenue growth of 4 percent and margins were in line with last year.
BraunAbility's organic sales declined by 53 percent in constant currency. Significant cost reductions partly mitigated the impact on profits.
Organic sales in Laborie declined by 45 percent in constant currency, driven by a significant decrease in elective procedures. The recently acquired Clinical Innovations performed well and helped support overall profit margins.
Organic sales in Permobil declined by 17 percent in constant currency. Good cost control partly offset the negative impact on margins from lower sales.
Piab's organic sales declined by 16 percent in constant currency. Compared to last year, the EBITA margin only declined by 3 percentage points to 24 percent, thanks to good cost control.
The value of our investments in EQT increased by 16 percent during the quarter, driven by a strong total return in EQT AB, while the value of our fund investments (reported with a one-quarter lag) declined. Net cash flow to Investor was SEK -1.6bn, due to drawdowns and no significant exits. Following a strategic review, EQT AB announced the sale of its Credit business. It was also communicated that the target fund size for its Infrastructure V fund is EUR 12.5bn.
After having paid our dividend of almost SEK 7bn in late June, our financial position remains strong, with leverage of 5 percent at the end of the quarter. This allows us to continue to support our companies and to act on potential attractive investment opportunities.
In recent years, our companies have worked hard on securing agility and they entered the current crisis in good shape. Certainly, the crisis has had a severe impact on people and the global economy, but there are also many valuable lessons and insights to build upon. Companies will have to evaluate and potentially adjust business models, supply chains, customer offerings and ways of working. Succeeding in this work is important to grow market share, increase efficiency and strengthen resilience. Furthermore, we see that the crisis has accelerated the already strong trends of digitalization, automation and integration of sustainability into business operations. We will support our companies in capturing these opportunities.
Our strategy to build best-in-class companies remains firm. This is our way of creating long-term value for you, dear fellow shareholders.

The main risks that the Group and the Parent Company are exposed to are primarily related to the value changes of the listed assets due to market price fluctuations. The development of the global economy is an important uncertainty factor in assessment of near-term market fluctuations. The uncertainty is currently unusually high due to the development of the covid-19 pandemic. The development of the financial markets also affects the various unlisted holdings' businesses and opportunities for new investments and divestments.
Investor and its subsidiaries are exposed to commercial risks and financial risks, such as share price risks, interest rate risks and currency risks. In addition, the subsidiaries, through their business activities within respective sector, also are exposed to legal/regulatory risks and political risks, for example political decisions on healthcare budgets and industry regulations.
Whatever the economic situation in the world, operational risk management requires a continued high level of awareness and focused work to mitigate current risks in line with stated policies and instructions.
Investor's risk management, risks and uncertainties are described in detail in the Annual Report, (Administration report and Note 3).
For the Group, this Interim Report is prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and applicable regulations in the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with Sweden's Annual Accounts Act, chapter 9 Interim report. The accounting policies that have been applied for the Group and Parent Company, are in agreement with the accounting policies used in preparation of the company's most recent annual report.
Investor applies the ESMA Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures (APMs). An APM is a financial measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows, other than a financial measure defined or specified in the applicable financial reporting framework. For Investor's consolidated accounts, this framework typically means IFRS.
Definitions of all APMs used are found in the Annual Report 2019 and on www.investorab.com/investorsmedia/investor-in-figures/definitions.
Reconciliations to the financial statements for the APMs that are not directly identifiable from the financial statements and considered significant to specify, are disclosed on page 28. Reconciliations of APMs for individual subsidiaries or business areas are not disclosed, since the purpose of these are to give deeper financial information without being directly linked to the financial information for the Group, that is presented according to the applicable financial reporting framework.
Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout this Interim Report may not add up precisely to the totals provided and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures.

We have reviewed the interim report of Investor AB (publ), corporate identity number 556013-8298, for the period January 1- June 30, 2020. The Board of Directors and the President 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 consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has a different focus and is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA) and other generally accepted auditing practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would
make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit.
Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not, in all material respects, prepared 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 numbers below are based on the same accounting and valuation policies as used in the preparation of the company's most recent annual report. For information regarding financial instruments in level 2 and level 3, see Note 32, Financial Instruments, in Investor's Annual Report 2019.

All valuations in level 3 are based on assumptions and judgments that management considers to be reasonable based on the circumstances prevailing at the time. Changes in assumptions may result in adjustments to reported values and the actual outcome may differ from the estimates and judgments that were made.
The unlisted part of Financial Investments' portfolio companies, corresponds to 95 percent of the portfolio value. Part of the unlisted portfolio is valued based on comparable companies, and the value is dependent on the level of the multiples. The multiple ranges provided in the note show the minimum and maximum value of the actual multiples applied in these valuations. A 10 percent change of the multiples would have an effect on the Financial Investments portfolio value of approximately SEK 100m. For the derivatives, a parallel shift of the interest rate curve by one percentage point would affect the value by approximately SEK 1,100m.
The table below indicates how fair value is measured for the financial instruments recognized at fair value in the Balance Sheet. The financial instruments are presented in three categories, depending on how the fair value is measured:
Level 1: According to quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments
Level 2: According to directly or indirectly observable inputs that are not included in level 1
Level 3: According to inputs that are unobservable in the market

| Valuation methodology | |
|---|---|
| Listed Companies | Share price (bid) for the class of shares held by Investor, with the exception of Saab, Electrolux and Electrolux Professional for which the most actively traded share class is used. Ownership calculated in accordance with the disclosure of regulations of Sweden's Financial Instruments Trading Act (LHF). ABB, AstraZeneca, Nasdaq and Wärtsilä in accordance with Swiss, British, U.S. and Finnish regulations. Includes market value of derivatives related to investments if applicable. |
| Patricia Industries | |
| Subsidiaries | Reported value based on the acquisition method. As supplementary information, subsidiaries are also presented at estimated market values, mainly based on valuation multiples for relevant listed peers and indices. Other methodologies may also be used, for example relating to real estate assets. New investments valued at invested amount during the first 18 months following the acquisition. |
| Partner-owned investments | Reported value based on the equity method. As supplementary information, partner-owned investments are also presented at estimated market values, mainly based on valuation multiples for relevant listed peers and indices. |
| Financial Investments | Unlisted holdings at multiple or third-party valuation, listed shares at share price (bid). |
| Investments in EQT | Unlisted holdings at multiple or third-party valuation, listed shares at share price (bid). |
| Supplementary information | In addition to reported values, which are in accordance with IFRS, Investor provides estimated market values for the wholly-owned subsidiaries and partner-owned investments within Patricia Industries in order to facilitate the evaluation of Investor's net asset value. This supplementary, non-GAAP information also increases the consistency between the valuation of Listed Companies and our major wholly-owned subsidiaries and partner-owned Three Scandinavia. |
|---|---|
| Estimated market values | While the estimated market values might not necessarily reflect our view of the intrinsic values, they reflect how the stock market values similar companies. |
| Methodology | The estimated market values are mainly based on valuation multiples, typically Enterprise value (EV)/Last 12 months' operating profit, for relevant listed peers and indices. While we focus on EBITA when evaluating the performance of our companies, for valuation purposes, EBITDA multiples are more commonly available, and therefore often used. From the estimated EV, net debt is deducted, and the remaining equity value is multiplied with Patricia Industries' share of capital. |
| Adjustments | Operating profit is adjusted to reflect, for example, pro forma effects of completed add-on acquisitions and certain non-recurring items. An item is only viewed as non-recurring if it exceeds a certain amount set for each company, is unlikely to affect the company again, and does not result in any future benefit or cost. Acquisitions made less than 18 months ago are valued at the invested amount. |
Investor, founded by the Wallenberg family in 1916, is an engaged owner of high-quality, global companies. We have a long-term investment perspective. Through board representation, as well as industrial experience, our network and financial strength, we work continuously to support our companies to remain or become best-in-class. Our holdings include, among others, ABB, Atlas Copco, Ericsson, Mölnlycke and SEB.
We create value for people and society by building strong and sustainable businesses.
We are an engaged, long-term owner that actively supports the building and development of best-in-class companies. Through substantial ownership and board representation, we drive the initiatives that we believe will create the most value for each individual company. Ultimately, this creates value for our shareholders and thus society as a whole.
Our investment philosophy is "buy-to-build", and to develop our companies over time, as long as we see further value creation potential. Our goal is for our companies to maintain or achieve best-in-class positions, and for all of them to outperform peers and reach full potential.
We have a long tradition of being a responsible owner and company. We firmly believe that sustainability is a prerequisite for creating long-term value. Our three focus areas are Business Ethics & Governance, Climate & Resource Efficiency and Diversity & Inclusion.
• Grow net asset value
To achieve attractive net asset value growth, we own high-quality companies and are an engaged owner, supporting our companies to achieve profitable growth. We strive to allocate our capital wisely.
We maintain cost discipline to remain efficient and in order to maximize our operating cash flow.
Our dividend policy is to distribute a large percentage of the dividends received from our listed core investments, as well as to make a distribution from other net assets corresponding to a yield in line with the equity market. The goal is to pay a steadily rising dividend.
Our long-term return requirement is the risk free interest rate plus an equity risk premium, in total 8-9 percent annually.
Our target leverage range is 5-10 percent (net debt/reported total assets) over a business cycle. While leverage can fluctuate above and below the target level, it should not exceed 25 percent for any longer period of time. Our leverage policy allows us to capture investment opportunities and to support our companies.
