CEO statement

Dear fellow shareholders,

During the first quarter 2021, our adjusted net asset value grew by 16 percent. Our total shareholder return was 16 percent, while the SIXRX return index gained 14 percent.

The world economy gradually improved, driven by massive stimulus packages, the roll-out of vaccines and pent-up demand in some areas. The recovery is

expected to continue, but there are a number of uncertainties and risks, such as the stress in some supply chains, the current geopolitical tensions and the continued pandemic. In addition, as I highlighted last quarter, the sharp asset inflation, driven by the ultra-low cost of capital, represents a medium-term risk for equities, should inflation and interest rates rise faster than currently expected.

Listed Companies

Listed Companies' total return was 19 percent, compared to 14 percent for the SIXRX return index.

Having managed the covid-19 impact well so far, our companies continue to focus on innovation, capturing geographic growth opportunities, accelerating sustainability efforts and maintaining the efficiency improvements that have been achieved during the pandemic. These are all important priorities to further strengthen their competitive positions.

During the quarter, we increased our share of the votes in Ericsson from 22.8 to 23.6 percent.

Patricia Industries

Based on estimated market values, the value of Patricia Industries, excluding cash, grew by 4 percent, driven by profit growth and positive currency effects, partly counteracted by lower multiples.

Organic sales growth for the major subsidiaries amounted to 1 percent in constant currency, while reported EBITA grew by 26 percent. Adjusted EBITA grew by 14 percent. Mölnlycke, Advanced Instruments, Laborie and Piab, representing almost 80 percent of the total estimated market value of our subsidiaries, all reported strong growth and improved profitability. For Permobil and BraunAbility, demand remained negatively impacted by covid-19, although performance gradually improved during the quarter. The negative organic growth in Sarnova is primarily explained by a strong first quarter 2020 due to strong demand related to covid-19. The underlying performance remains good.

Mölnlycke reported 14 percent organic growth in constant currency. Wound Care grew 5 percent organically in constant currency. Surgical grew 24 percent, driven by personal protective equipment contracts. Growth was negatively impacted by a strong first quarter 2020, as the outbreak of covid-19 resulted in strong growth in gloves, antiseptics and staff clothing. The EBITA-margin improved by 5 percentage points, driven by strong sales growth and good cost control.

In mid-April, Patricia Industries divested Grand Group and the Grand Hôtel property, as the hotel segment does not fit with our investment priorities. The divestment frees up resources that we will use to continue to develop Patricia Industries and our existing companies. In addition, the divestment further sharpens the focus in our portfolio.

Investments in EQT

The value change of our investments in EQT was 30 percent. Net cash flow to Investor was SEK -1.1bn, due to significant draw-downs. EQT AB's combination with Exeter Property Group was completed, significantly strengthening EQT's position as a leader within thematic value-add real estate investments.

Engaged ownership and corporate governance

The world is facing a number of environmental, social and economic challenges. An important foundation to handle such challenges successfully is a dynamic business environment within a predictable regulatory framework. It is our conviction that sustainability and long-term shareholder value go hand-in-hand. In order for a company to maximize its long-term value, it must deliver customer value, invest in its employees, act fairly and ethically, respect human rights and take decisive action to address the environmental challenges.

The European Commission has proposed a roadmap for preventing "short-termism" and increasing companies' focus on sustainability. The roadmap includes potential detailed regulation on governance, which will broaden the purpose of the corporation as an institution. As an engaged long-term owner, we are convinced that good corporate governance must be based on clear roles, responsibilities and accountability between the owners, board and management. Broadening the purpose of the company, as envisaged in the roadmap, will make corporate governance less clear and efficient, and risk weakening ownership rights. It also risks hampering the important re-allocation of capital, making it more difficult for entrepreneurs and companies to attract risk capital for necessary investments to support sustainable economic growth. It is our conviction that each board, with deep knowledge about that particular company, is best suited to prioritize and drive the right strategic priorities, including setting sustainability targets.

In the first quarter, Investor's Chair had a particular focus on sustainability in our dialog with the Chairs amd CEOs in our companies. While there is more to do, many of our companies are at the forefront, and I am especially pleased that they take a business-driven approach with the ambition to beat competition and gain market share. The significant efforts in our companies are paying off. During the last four years, the combined scope 1 and 2 CO2e emissions from our portfolio of companies have been reduced by 40 percent.

Going forward

We have a portfolio of companies with strong market positions and high exposure to attractive long-term trends such as changing demographics, accelerated automation, electrification and digitalization, as well as alternative investments. Looking ahead, we will continue to invest selectively in our three business areas while constantly evaluating our companies to determine their potential and whether we are the right owner. Based on our proven governance model and our portfolio of great companies, I am convinced that Investor is well positioned to continue to generate attractive returns to you, dear fellow shareholders.

Activities during the quarter

Group

Organic sales growth amounted to 14 percent in constant currency, driven by continued good growth in Wound Care and the covid-19-related sales of personal protective equipment within Surgical. All regions grew.
Customer agreements within personal protective equipment added significant sales during the first quarter and are expected to add additional sales into the second quarter, although significantly less than in the first quarter, but at a similar level as in the second quarter last year.
The EBITA margin was 5 percentage points higher compared to last year, positively impacted by strong sales and good cost control.
Mölnlycke stepped up its investments in its commercial organization in Emerging Markets.

Wound Care

• Organic growth amounted to 5 percent in constant currency.

Surgical

Organic growth amounted to 24 percent in constant currency.
Personal protective equipment contracts impacted sales positively. Mölnlycke Procedure® Trays and Surgical Drapes continued to be negatively impacted by the decline in elective procedures as an effect of covid-19. During the latter part of the first quarter 2020, the outbreak of covid-19 resulted in strong sales of gloves, antiseptics and staff clothing, which had a negative impact on year-over-year growth.

Dividend Proposal

The Board of Directors proposes a dividend to the shareholders of SEK 14.00 (9.00) per share for fiscal year 2020.

If the proposal is approved by the Annual General Meeting, the dividend is expected to be distributed by Euroclear Sweden AB on May 12, 2021 and November 11, 2021.

Basis of preparation for the Interim Management Statement

This Interim Management Statement has in all material aspects been prepared in accordance with NASDAQ Stockholm's guidelines for preparing interim management statements. The accounting policies that have been applied for the consolidated income statement and consolidated balance sheet, are in agreement with the accounting policies used in the preparation of the company's most recent annual report.

Alternative Performance Measures

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 2020 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 25. 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.

Financial instruments

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 31, Financial Instruments, in Investor's Annual Report 2020.

	Valuation techniques, level 3
--	-------------------------------

Group 3/31 2021	Fair value, SEK m	Valuation technique	Input	Range
Shares and participations	28,797	Last round of financing	n/a	n/a
		Comparable companies	EBITDA multiples	n/a
		Comparable companies	Sales multiples	2.0 – 7.2
		Comparable transactions Sales multiples		2.2 – 7.1
		NAV	n/a	n/a
Other financial investments	123	Discounted cash flow	Market interest rate	n/a
Long-term and current receivables	3,512	Discounted cash flow	Market interest rate	n/a
Long-term interest bearing liabilities	49	Discounted cash flow	Market interest rate	n/a
Other provisions and liabilities	4,538	Discounted cash flow	n/a	n/a

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 96 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 200m. For the derivatives, a parallel shift of the interest rate curve by one percentage point would affect the value by approximately SEK 1,000m.

Financial assets and liabilities by level

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).

Patricia Industries, overview of estimated market values

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 in brief

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.

Our purpose

We create value for people and society by building strong and sustainable businesses.

Engaged ownership

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.

Investment philosophy

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.

Sustainability

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.

Our operating priorities

• 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.

• Operate efficiently

We maintain cost discipline to remain efficient and in order to maximize our operating cash flow.

• Pay a steadily rising dividend

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 financial targets

• Return requirement

Our long-term return requirement is the risk free interest rate plus an equity risk premium, in total 8-9 percent annually.

• Leverage policy

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.
