A provider of advanced powered and manual wheelchairs for severly disabled users

Activities during the quarter

  • Organic sales growth was -3 percent in constant currency, driven by a slowdown in the Swedish car adaptation market due to funding constraints and by weak development in North America, explained by slow overall market growth and the introduction of a new powered wheelchair series by Permobil. Reported sales, however, increased by 29 percent driven by the acquired TiLite and positive currency impact.
  • EBITDA was flat compared to last year and the margin declined to 12 percent, due to the negative organic growth and increased operating expenses driven by sales force expansion and product introduction activities.
  • Permobil introduced a new powered wheelchair series in the U.S., following up on the launch in Europe the previous quarter. While the new products have been very well received, the introductions have temporarily led to a slowdown in sales as customers delay orders in anticipation of the new model. The new series will start shipping in the second quarter and the effect on sales will not subside until the third quarter.
  • Permobil announced the acquisition of U.S. based ROHO, the global leader in skin protection and positioning solutions for wheelchair users. Permobil and ROHO have combined annual sales of more than SEK 2.5 bn.

On March 31, 2015, Investor owned a total of 5,429,779 of its own shares (5,796,960). The net decrease in holdings of own shares is attributable to repurchase of own shares and transfer of shares and options within Investor's long-term variable remuneration program.

Other

Proposed dividends

The Board of Directors and the President propose a dividend to the shareholders of SEK 9.00 per share for fiscal year 2014 (8.00). The dividend level proposed is based on the stated dividend policy to declare dividends attributable to a high percentage of dividends received from listed core investments, as well as to make a distribution from other net assets corresponding to a yield in line with the equity market. Investor's goal is also to generate a steadily rising dividend.

Annual General Meeting

Investor AB's Annual General Meeting will be held at 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, May 12, 2015, at the City Conference Centre, Barnhusgatan 12-14, Stockholm. The registration commences at 1:30 p.m.

Notification of participation in the Annual General Meeting can be given until May 6, 2015. Notification can be given on Investor's website, (www.investorab.com), or by phoning +46 8 611 2910. Additional information about Investor's Annual General Meeting is available on Investor's website.

Repurchase of own shares

As it has during the past 15 years, Investor's Board of Directors has decided to propose to the 2015 Annual General Meeting that it should extend the authorization of the Board to decide on the repurchase of the company's shares. Under such a mandate, the Board would be given the opportunity until the next Annual General Meeting – provided it deems it appropriate – to decide on the repurchase of the company's shares. In accordance with current legislation, repurchases can total up to 10 percent of the total shares outstanding in Investor. Any repurchases may be effected over the stock exchange or through offerings to shareholders. It is also proposed that the Board's mandate include the possibility to transfer repurchased shares including transfers to participants in Investor's Long-term variable remuneration program. See also "Long-term variable remuneration program" below.

Long-term variable remuneration program

As in the previous nine years, the Board of Directors will propose a share-based, long-term variable remuneration program for Investor's employees at the 2015 Annual General Meeting.

The program will be substantially identical to the program for 2014. It is proposed that the long-term variable remuneration program be hedged as before through the repurchase of the company's shares, or through total return swaps. The Board's final proposal will be announced in the Notice of the 2015 Annual General Meeting.

Acquisitions (business combinations)

On February 24, 2015, Aleris signed an agreement to acquire the healthcare provider, Teres Medical Group. The acquisition enables Aleris to strengthen its position as the leading private healthcare provider in Scandinavia. Teres has 17 surgical clinics and private hospitals in Norway, Denmark and Sweden. Through the acquisition, Aleris adds experience, competence and a broader range of high quality within different surgical services in Scandinavia. The transaction is subject to approval from competition authorities.

On March 25, 2015, Permobil announced the acquisition of The ROHO Group, Inc., the global leader in skin protection and positioning solutions for wheelchair users, based in Belleville, Illinois, U.S. The acquisition marks the next important step in Permobil´s strategy to become a leading healthcare company, providing innovative advanced rehabilitation solutions for people with disabilities. The transaction is subject to approval from competition authorities.

Pledged assets and contingent liabilities

No significant changes of pledged assets and contingent liabilities occurred during the period.

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. The financial statements and the segment information correspond to the disposition in the interim reports prepared in accordance with IAS 34. This in order to facilitate comparison in the presentation between quarters. This Interim Management Statement include among other President's comments and share price development, even though this is not required in the NASDAQ Stockholm's guidelines for preparing interim management statements. This information is however considered important to meet the needs of the users of the report.

A final word from this CEO

The unprecedented macroeconomic stimulus through cheap money and low oil prices continued. In an environment with low, or even negative interest rates, yield-chasing investors have nowhere to turn but to the stock market. It is thus not surprising that the stock market continued to perform strongly during the quarter.

One important question in judging whether the current valuation levels – high by historical comparison – are sustainable is naturally to understand for how long the low interest environment will prevail. While not convinced myself, it cannot be ruled out that it will stay with us for a long time. The Western economies continue to be under deflationary pressure due to, for example, technology advances and an abundant availability of low-cost manufacturing. It is hard to see that either force will subside near term. The urbanization is not yet over in China, and in Africa, it hasn't really started.

Core Investments

We continued to increase our position in ABB, reaching 8.9 percent of the capital and votes.

Mölnlycke Health Care continued to grow with stable profitability. The restructuring of Aleris' Stockholm hospitals proceeded according to plan. In addition, Aleris signed an agreement to acquire Teres Medical Group, a major provider of a broad range of healthcare services. For all subsidiaries, bolt-on acquisitions are a core part of our strategy.

Permobil had a meagre quarter due to weak markets. In addition, the introduction of a new powered wheelchair series led to customers postponing purchases. We expect the product introduction to continue to impact sales and profitability during the second quarter as well, as production is ramped up. Permobil also announced the acquisition of ROHO Group to broaden its product offering.

Conclusion

This is my last quarterly report after almost ten years as your CEO. As of May 13, I will devote my time to our new division Patricia Industries. For the next 18-36 months, Patricia's top priority will be to step up the efforts to grow and develop the existing holdings and to realize the value of some of the financial holdings. You should expect limited new investments during this initial period, although we will for sure remain open for business. We plan to present the full structure of Patricia in our report for the second quarter.

The old advice to always recruit and work with people that are smarter than yourself has always been my True North. Therefore, I am confident that Johan Forssell and his team will take Investor to the next level.

At last, I want to acknowledge that I feel like I am the luckiest man on the face of the earth. I have had a great ten years, but more importantly, I have had my family by my side on the journey. I realize that they have made many sacrifices during the years, but they have always stood by me, in good times and bad. For this, I am very grateful.

With that, once again, thank you dear shareholders. It has been an honor to look after your company. Following the advice of Marilyn Monroe's movie character that "A wise girl… leaves before she is left" – over and out.

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 29 in Investor's Annual Report 2014.

Valuation techniques, level 3

Group 3/31 2015 Fair value Valuation technique Input Range
Shares and participations 22 695 Last round of financing n.a. n.a.
EBITDA multiples 5.1 – 6.8
Comparable companies Sales multiples 0.5 – 6.4
Comparable transactions Sales multiples 1.4 – 7.1
NAV n.a. n.a.
Long-term receivables included in net debt 2 010 Present value computation Market interest rate n.a.
Long-term interest bearing liabilities 235 Present value computation Market interest rate n.a.
Other long-term provisions and liabilities 850 Discounted Cash flow n.a.

All valuations in level 3 are based on assumptions and judgments that management consider 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 IGC's portfolio companies, corresponding to 52 percent of the portfolio value, 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 portfolio value of IGC of approximately SEK 600 m. For the derivatives, a parallel shift of the interest rate curve by one percentage point would affect the value by approximately SEK 1,200 m.

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
