When I look back on 2013, I feel a sense of great pride over Kinnevik's many achievements. My journey as an active member of Kinnevik's leadership team began in August 2002. For the first five years, our focus was on strengthening each of our core businesses, deleveraging the balance sheets, increasing transparency, and establishing a strong foundation for future growth and increased shareholder remuneration. When I assumed the role of Chairman in 2007, together with our Board, we embarked on the second phase of Kinnevik's transformation by seeding a significant number of new consumer focused digital ventures. In many ways, 2013 is the year when the results of these past ten years of hard work have come to the foreground with Kinnevik's largest investments, Millicom and Tele2, pursuing transformational transactions in Colombia and Russia and our largest e-commerce fashion company Zalando establishing itself as the clear leader in Europe.
Today, Kinnevik is underpinned by three strong pillars: the established listed core holdings, the investment in Rocket Internet which has led to the creation of over a dozen very successful companies, and the direct investments in a number of younger online businesses created by outstanding entrepreneurs spanning from Nigeria to India. Despite their different sizes, all three pillars have common characteristics: a clear vision for the opportunity being pursued, a spirit of entrepreneurship present at all layers of the organizations, a long term orientation, and most importantly a belief that strong partnerships with best in class founders, entrepreneurs, managers and investors are the key to long term success.
We have built a team of investment professionals who are constantly on the look-out for new disruptive technologies, innovative business, extraordinary talents and co-investors. At the same time we provide further support to our existing entrepreneur-led businesses, through our work at Board level and a regular dialogue with our management teams. In addition, we aspire to leverage the high degree of connectivity we have with consumers, and local stakeholders for the benefit of our investments.
Kinnevik offers investors exposure to an attractive combination of large, market-leading, cash flow generative Communications and Entertainment companies as well as to faster growing investments in e-Commerce/Marketplaces and Financial Services businesses. We are building leading consumer brands in over 80 countries across five continents with a focus on our traditional and new key growth markets. Whilst the pace of our development is widely appreciated by investors, the significant investment phase we are currently in has
led to significant price volatility in the last two quarters. As our businesses increase in size and become more visible and better understood, we would expect the share price volatility to be reduced.
Kinnevik has a very clear vision: to be a best in class, value added investor focused on creating shareholder returns by driving industry consolidation in mature businesses and by supporting new, consumer-focused digital growth companies. We will continue to invest in our four cores Communication, Entertainment, e-Commerce/Marketplaces and Financial Services verticals both in developed and faster growing economies. We intend to deliver on our vision by supporting the continued successful development of every one of our companies in each local market where they operate. We will strive to deliver on our mantra to be as good if not better than the most successful local entrepreneur. We will also continue to pursue our ambition to be a global leader in the local community work that we undertake, giving back to the people who contribute to making us successful.
I am most grateful for the hard work and contribution of Kinnevik's management team, for the added value received from every one of our Board members, and for the support of our founding family members and of our more recent shareholders. All of them form the bedrock of our success. Finally, I would like to extend my warmest thanks and heartfelt gratitude to Mia Brunell Livfors who has announced her resignation as Chief Executive Officer of Kinnevik. In her eight years as CEO she has been instrumental in driving Kinnevik into the global investment powerhouse that it is today. I look forward to meeting many of you at our Annual General Meeting in May to further discuss our 2013 achievements and update you on our exciting future prospects.

Every time you use your smartphone, you become part of one of Kinnevik's strongest convictions. The radical changes sweeping through many sectors due to digitalisation are affecting each and every one of us. And it will further benefit many people. This applies to all parts of the world. Particularly emerging markets where mobile usage and computer traffic are growing even stronger than most dared to hope.
The purpose of digital operations is to make life easier for customers. At the same time, they are also challenging existing structures in society and the business community. The two factors – to generate customer value and to challenge – are excellent descriptions of some of Kinnevik's core values. We feel more than well-equipped considering our long history of successfully transforming the company as new prerequisites arise.
It is therefore with pride that we see that our investments in online to date are now stronger than ever, after another year of very strong growth in the companies. Our online holdings, with specific focus on e-commerce and marketplaces, now account for 33% of Kinnevik's entire portfolio. It is a position that we have systematically built up over a long time to meet the transformation now sweeping across the world. We will also continue to invest in online this year, in new exciting companies, as well as our existing companies. Young, rapidly growing companies also mean that they are in various phases of development and will need various types of support to grow rapidly and toward good profitability. We estimate that our total investments in 2014 will be approximately SEK 2-3bn.
Our largest online holding, Zalando, sells fashion and shoes in 15 European countries. The company is one of the most rapidly growing companies ever in Europe and in 2013, Zalando succeeded in achieving 52% growth. This is quite an achievement considering the fact that the company is already the largest in many of its markets. Following major investments in a logistics centre, customer services and technology development last year, Zalando's focus now is clearly on
profitable growth.
Our strong 2013 also meant that we continued to deliver value to our shareholders. The net asset value increased by 11% last year and the total return was 125%.
In 2013, the Kinnevik Group implemented two significant divestments, showing clearly how Kinnevik builds value through active work in the portfolio companies. Tele2 Russia, which developed into a successful telecom business under Tele2's management, was sold to Russian VTB in a cash transaction that was very favourable for Tele2 and Kinnevik's shareholders.
In December, our shares in BillerudKorsnäs were divested, thus ending a long and fruitful ownership. Over the years, Korsnäs' stable and profitable operation has been highly significant for Kinnevik's opportunities to invest in new sectors. This pertains particularly to our successful investments in the telecom industry, which currently account for an important part of the cash flow and dividends in the Group.
The divestments resulted in a historically strong financial position for Kinnevik, with a net cash of SEK 2.4bn at the end of the year. This provides us with great flexibility to fulfil our strategy, and when making decisions about future investments.
Kinnevik strives to always achieve a type of dual value generation, where we optimise profitability in mature companies, thus enabling us to support other parts of the portfolio companies. It is important to evaluate the market position of the companies and if necessary, take the initiative for partnership and consolidation.
The Russian online service, Avito, increased sales by 167% during the first nine months of 2013 and achieved a positive operating profit. In early 2013, a key step was made through the merger with South African Naspers' Russian sites, Slando and OLX, which strengthened Avito's leading position in the market. In the transaction, Naspers received a minority stake in Avito.
Investments in financial services are in progress in several areas within Kinnevik's companies. In October last year, Bayport, with more than half a million customers in financial services in Latin America and Africa, signed an agreement to acquire South African Bayport Financial Services for just over SEK 1bn. As the largest owner in Bayport, Kinnevik assisted in successfully closing the transaction, together with Helios Investment Partners, which accounted for a large portion of the new issue to finance the acquisition.
During the year, MTG launched MTGx to systematically and ambitiously increase digital expansion. At the same time, the digital service Viaplay, which provides excellent opportunity to watch TV when and where you want, continues to rapidly attract more customers. MTG has also implemented a couple of acquisitions to further improve the potential to deliver content to users.
Millicom signed an agreement during the last year to merge their Colombian operations with the competitor UNE, in order to improve the digital offering and broadening the customer base. One example of the digital offer is Millicom's financial services. These are growing quickly och Millicom has, among other things, launched the first mobile service for currency exchange in Africa.
As we increase the proportion of unlisted companies and companies in early development phases, demands on Kinnevik's investment organisation are also increasing. Accordingly, we are strengthening the organisation with a number of key recruitments. This includes, for example, the establishment of Kinnevik Capital, which is responsible for developing our unlisted investments and identifying new investment objects. We will ensure that we have the appropriate resources to remain the leader in finding new businesses and following our strategic ambitions, and to maintain the high demands we place on ourselves to remain active owners. Kinnevik Capital is headed by Chris Bischoff.
It should be reiterated that 2013 was a fantastic year for Kinnevik and its shareholders. We now have a very strong position to continue our work and follow our strategic focus as Kinnevik once again transforms the Group to build value for the future.
I would like to thank our shareholders for your confidence in us. You can continue to place high demands on a top-class return. It is our job to deliver and ensure that Kinnevik always remains one step ahead.

People and Sustainable Performance
Cristina Stenbeck, Executive Chairman
The creation of sustainable performance comes with our people. We believe that it is driven by culture and values, challenging work and environment as well as trust, motivation and continuous development.
Kinnevik is, and shall be, a challenging company to work for. We have big visions, far-reaching goals and high standards. To succeed we believe in the importance of top-performing people who are prepared to work hard to create success.
Our "Golden Rules" for a successful business were laid down by Jan Stenbeck and are still observed throughout our Group. The Stenbeck rules, visions and convictions are the Kinnevik culture. They are the very DNA that defines our many companies. They enable us to provide a unifying purpose and pride. Our culture is all about embracing change, moving fast, taking initiative, focusing on results, being straightforward, celebrating victories – and having fun.
We are convinced that long-term sustainable profitability in our companies is driven by how we work with our people - who we attract as employees, how we challenge and motivate them and what opportunities and development they can have with us in a long-term perspective.
Our companies represent diversity in many dimensions: geography, business sector, growth stage and customer offering. Through this diversity Kinnevik offers a unique universe of opportunities for people development and careers. Top performers are encouraged to rotate among the different companies and countries within the group.
Kinnevik is driving a strategic and business-oriented people agenda across the portfolio of companies including initiatives such as:
Corporate Responsibility
The primary purpose of Kinnevik's operations is to increase shareholder value, primarily through net asset value growth. As owner and investor, Kinnevik also bears great responsibility to stakeholders for its holdings (subsidiaries and associated companies). For Kinnevik, showing consideration for stakeholders by working actively with CR-related issues is a prerequisite for high and sustained profitability. Through sound investments and active ownership Kinnevik will have a positive impact on society and on Kinnevik's net asset value growth.
For Kinnevik, Corporate Responsibility ("CR") involves issues that relate to social responsibility, environmental responsibility and ethics. During 2011, Kinnevik formally adopted the UN Global Compact ten principles in the areas of human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption. This third annual Communication on Progress describes the actions taken to integrate the Global Compact and its principles into the business strategy, culture and daily operations of Kinnevik.
Expectations on Kinnevik varies between different stakeholder groups. For Kinnevik it is important to understand stakeholders' different expectations and Kinnevik strives to have an open and straight dialogue with these groups. The most important stakeholder groups identified by Kinnevik are the following.
Investors today increasingly integrate sustainability issues into their investment decisions. Kinnevik has an ongoing dialogue with owners and potential investors on sustainable development. As an example of this, Kinnevik participated in the Sustainable Value Creation project in 2012 in which 14 of Sweden's largest institutional investors have joined forces to highlight the importance of working in a structured manner with sustainability issues.
In order for both Kinnevik and its holdings to be able to attract top performing executives, entrepreneurs and talented employees it is important to act as a good corporate citizen and be known for applying the highest ethical and business standards. In annual development and planning dialogues with management and employees CR-related issues are discussed. These issues are also discussed regularly in staff meetings.
Kinnevik is for most of the portfolio companies the largest or among the largest shareholders. Kinnevik is an active owner that through board members influence strategic decisions
and priorities in the portfolio companies. As an active owner Kinnevik influences to a large extent "the tone from the top" which is important for attraction of both employees and customers. Kinnevik has a comprehensive dialogue with the portfolio companies related to relevant CR-topics. In addition, Kinnevik heads the CR group among the holdings comprising heads of CR of the major portfolio companies.
For Kinnevik's and the portfolio companies' long term successful development it is important to comply with applicable laws, rules and standards in different countries. Kinnevik has an ongoing dialogue with relevant authorities to monitor regulatory development in important fields.
For a company like Kinnevik with limited operations, the majority of the potential CR issues and challenges are derived from the operations of the respective holdings. The risks identified by the holdings comprise a wide range of risk areas which may all, to some extent, affect Kinnevik and the company's stakeholders. Kinnevik takes inspiration from the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the world's most widely used sustainability reporting framework, criteria for materiality to ensure that the Company addresses CR issues and risks that impact, or are influenced by, the company and its holdings. Based on the current portfolio Kinnevik has during 2013 identified some CR topics to be pervasive and in scope of enhanced monitoring efforts going forward. Drivers of such aspects include developments and trends within key industries, existence of operations in emerging markets, emerging supply chain risks and rapid growth. The CR topics that are assessed to be most important and have the greatest relevance both to Kinnevik and the company's stakeholders are the following:
There are also other aspects such as limiting environmental footprint of the company's and its holdings that obviously are important but not as pervasive as these four given the existing portfolio.
Kinnevik's senior management, in cooperation with the Board of Directors, have formulated and established policies to address relevant matters related to CR, primarily through the Code of Ethical Business Conduct (Code of Conduct), the Whistleblower policy and the Corporate Responsibility Policy (CR Policy). In formulating these policies, Kinnevik has used the ten principles of the UN Global Compact and the OECD's guidelines for multinational enterprises as its starting point. All employees are expected to read and comply with the company policies.
In addition to the established policies Kinnevik actively promotes compliance with all laws, rules and regulations in each jurisdiction in which the company conducts business, and every employee, and other representative, of the company is expected to comply with the laws of the country in which they operate.
The majority of the CR matters and challenges are derived from the operations of the respective holding, and several of Kinnevik's holdings are operating in emerging markets with elevated risks related to e.g. corruption and human rights violations. In light of this, it is very important that Kinnevik has firm guidelines and clear expectation on the holdings, related to how such risks should be mitigated.
Through the CR policy Kinnevik sets out requirements for the portfolio companies with respect to the key CR topics identified. According to the CR policy each portfolio company must develop clear guidance on how matters concerning business ethics, including corruption, are to be managed. Portfolio companies must continuously document and evaluate compliance with relevant laws, regulations and international conventions, including respect for human rights, safe and healthy working conditions, freedom of assembly, promotion of diversity, and rejection of any form of forced labour or child labour. In addition the portfolio companies must develop a Supplier Code of Conduct in which the company's suppliers pledge to act in accordance with the recommendations of the UN Global Compact, with special attention given to companies in growth countries.
In the listed holdings, Kinnevik may through board representation oversee that the companies' operations are conducted in a responsible and ethical manner. Kinnevik works actively, through board representation, to assist portfolio companies in formulating their own CR policies. The CR policies should address the relevant CR topics taking into account areas such as social responsibility, ethics and the environment. The Kinnevik Board of Directors regularly reviews progress within CR in Kinnevik and its holdings
Which CR topics and risks that are most important varies between different holdings, industries and countries. Kinnevik recognizes the importance that all portfolio companies defines the most significant risks given their particular operations. The management of each portfolio company must ensure that appropriate processes are in place to identify and manage significant CR risks, and report such risks, including actions taken, to the respective company's Board of Directors.
In the larger listed holdings, the Board of Directors have elected one board member with specific responsibility for overseeing CR activities. In addition, the holdings are required to appoint an employee who is responsible for the company's ongoing CR efforts, including integration of CR activities into the daily operations. The appointed employee regularly reports progress and effects of the work undertaken to the responsible board member. Furthermore, CR activities is to be an agenda item at every board meeting, and each portfolio company is required to follow-up its CR policy annually.
Any potential new investment, is evaluated in terms of compliance to local laws and regulations, and assessed in terms of risks related to human rights, corruption and environmental aspects. In instances when potential investments do not adhere to relevant standards, or are not considered to be susceptible to the required improvements, Kinnevik refrains from the investment. New investments generally concerns small, start-up, companies which may not yet have formal CR policies and procedures in place. Kinnevik considers the development of CR policies, and related procedures, to be part of the development of the investment. Over time Kinnevik requires, all portfolio companies to establish a Code of Conduct that contains clear guidelines for how employees should act to ensure respect for human rights, legal compliance and ethical business practices.
In 2013, Kinnevik performed an evaluation to identify how existing processes and efforts for monitoring CR performance within the company's portfolio may be further enhanced. Based on the evaluation, activities to further develop and formalize existing processes have been initiated, including processes to identify key CR topics from a Kinnevik perspective and procedures to monitor that significant matters are given adequate attention by the respective portfolio companies. The aim is to have a more formalized structure in place during 2014.
The holdings are encouraged to publicly communicate the impact of their CR efforts. In order to find a common tool in terms of reporting the progress in the CR field, many of Kinnevik's companies have chosen to report according to GRI. GRI's core goals include the aligning of disclosure on environmental, social and governance performance. Millicom, Tele2 and MTG produce GRI reports that can be found on the respective company's websites.
As described above, Kinnevik has formally adopted the UN Global Compact ten principles in the areas of human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption. Below is a description of progress in these specific areas.
Kinnevik's policies on corporate responsibility are based on the UN Global Compact's ten principles as well as the OECD's guidelines on multinational enterprises. The Kinnevik portfolio companies support and respect internationally proclaimed human rights and this is expressed in their respective Code of Conduct. The objective of Kinnevik is for all portfolio companies to have such policies in place. Kinnevik is actively promoting the establishment and implementation of CR policies and Codes of Conducts within the holdings that have not yet such guidelines in place, primarily through board representation.
Actions taken in 2013 – examples from Kinnevik portfolio companies:
Dialogue on Freedom of Expression and Privacy guiding principles in March 2013 that aim to reduce the risk of complicity in human rights abuses relating to freedom of expression and privacy.
Kinnevik and the Group companies shall ensure compliance with labour and employment laws, including wages and working hours. Furthermore, the right to collective bargaining is recognized throughout the Group – In Kinnevik's case through the Kinnevik Code of Conduct. In the code, it is also stated that no colleagues should be discriminated against because of age, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, marital or maternity status, political opinion or ethnic background.
Kinnevik's policies on corporate responsibility outlines requirements for the holdings related to labour practices, safe and healthy working conditions, freedom of assembly, promotion of diversity, and rejection of any form of forced labour or child labour. Any grievances, including instances of perceived discrimination, must be reported to the Chairman of the Board, HR, closest manager, or through the whistle blowing system.
Actions taken in 2013 – examples from Kinnevik portfolio companies:
As a company without proprietary manufacturing and with limited operations conducted at the head office, Kinnevik has little direct impact on the environment.
Kinnevik's policies on corporate responsibility outlines requirements for the holdings concerning environment aspects. According to the policy, each portfolio company should establish an environment policy and continuously analyse the impact of their operations on the environment, and ensure actions are taken to continuously improve performance. Furthermore, the companies should assess the environmental impact of their suppliers and encourage them to achieve continuous improvements. Portfolio companies are encouraged to develop an environmental management system that is certifiable and to provide training to employees in issues relating to respect for the environment. Environmental initiatives are followed up continuously and reported to the board of directors.
Actions taken in 2013 – examples from Kinnevik portfolio companies:
It is of highest importance that all Kinnevik companies adhere to and comply with all given legislations and regulations as well as setting their own bar for how to act and behave in society – always with highest possible ethics. Through the Code of Conduct, Kinnevik sets out the ethical standards, including standards on matters related to anti-corruption and fair competition. Through the Whistle-blower policy, which is publicly available, the company outlines how potential grievances may be reported and acted upon. Portfolio companies are required to develop clear guidelines for how issues relating to business ethics, including corruption, are to be handled. Such guidelines are particularly for companies active in countries where corruption is prevalent. The guidelines must be known to all employees, and employees must be continuously trained and informed of the consequences of the guidelines.
Actions taken in 2013 – examples from Kinnevik portfolio companies:

The Kinnevik online investments are mainly focused around e-commerce and market places. E-commerce is one of the strongest global growth trends in the world economy, and it is based on a shift in consumer behavior which we believe is not a short-term trend but which we believe represents a permanent change in consumer behavior.
Within e-commerce, Kinnevik has focused its investments in the shoes and fashion segment through companies such as Zalando with geographical presence in Europe and companies such as Lamoda, Dafiti, Jabong and Zalora focused on
emerging markets. This particular segment of the e-commerce industry is attractive for several reasons; it is a relatively large part of a household budget, it is a sector with high gross margins and the products offered are easy to package and ship - enabling efficient logistics with attractive deliveries and returns.
In order to be competitive and become a profitable online retailer it is important to build size and scale to be the number one choice as the customer goes online. It is also a key competitive advantage to be fully integrated and to control the entire value chain from website to logistics to check out, payment and shipping in order to control the total customer experience.
Kinnevik invested SEK 2,307m within Online during 2013, of which SEK 855m in Zalando, SEK 575m in Rocket Internet, SEK 169m in Bigfoot II, SEK 317m in BigCommerce as well as Lazada, SEK 129m in CDON Group, SEK 114m in Konga and SEK 64m in Saltside Technologies.
At the end of the year, investments in Online were valued at a total of SEK 20.986m. The assessed change in fair value recognized in the consolidated income statement and dividends received during the year amounted to a profit of SEK 3,748m (2,752), as specified in the table on page 22.
The positive change in fair value of Zalando is a result of a continued strong revenue growth. In Kinnevik's financial statements, Zalando has an assessed fair value of EUR 3.9bln at the end of 2013, compared to EUR 2.8bln at the end of 2012. The valuation has been based on a sales multiple of 2.0 which has been multiplied by the company's net sales for the last 12 months.
The increase in fair value of Avito is a combination of strong sales growth, expanding market multiples and the addition of newly listed peers with emerging market profile. These changes have resulted in a sales multiple of 13.5 which has been multiplied by the company's net sales for the last 12 months, resulting in a company equity value of SEK 7.2bln at the end of the year, compared to SEK 2.4bln at the end of 2012. When determining the assessed fair value of Avito, Kinnevik has considered the transaction made in Avito warrants in beginning of February 2014 (see further the Board of Directors' Report), but considered that the size of the trade (1.7% of the fully diluted capital) has been to small
to be applied on Kinnevik's 31% shareholding in Avito. If the transaction value had been applied as fair value in Kinnevik's financial statements, the book value of Kinnevik's shareholding would have been SEK 1.3bln higher as per year end.
For further information about valuation principles and assumptions, please see Note 4 and Note 5 for the Group.
During 2012 and 2013, a number of Rocket's portfolio companies have issued new shares to external investors at price levels that exceed Kinnevik's recognized assessed fair values. Since the newly issued shares have better preference over the portfolio companies' assets in the event of liquidation or sale than Kinnevik's shares have, Kinnevik do not consider these price levels as a relevant base for assessing the fair values in the accounts. The latest transactions that have been made with better preference than Kinnevik's shareholdings have been made at levels that, applied to Kinnevik's shareholdings, are approximately SEK 6bln higher than Kinnevik's book value as per 31 December 2013.
Kinnevik's proportional part of the unlisted online companies' revenue grew by 68% year-on-year and reached SEK 7,446m (4,445) for the year. Revenue growth is strongest in the second and fourth quarter which is explained by the seasonal variations within the shoes- and fashion industry. Due to the strong growth, short operating history and the fact that all start-up costs are taken to the P&L, most of the unlisted companies within Kinnevik's online portfolio are still unprofitable. However, the larger companies in the portfolio are well capitalized and can afford continued investments until they reach break-even. Kinnevik's proportional part of the companies' cash position amounted to SEK 4,685m (2,712) at 31 December 2013.

The table above is a compilation of the unlisted online holdings' revenues and operating result reported multiplied by Kinnevik's ownership share at the end of the reporting period, thereby showing Kinnevik's proportional share of the companies' revenues and operating result. Revenues and operating result reported by the companies have been translated at constant exchange rates (average rate for 2013) from each company's reporting currency into Swedish kronor. For companies that have not yet reported the results for December 2013, the figures are included with one month's delay. The proportional share of revenues and operating result has no connection with Kinnevik's accounting and is only additional information.
Zalando's commercials are well-known across Europe.
Zalando started operations in 2008 in Germany and today operates online fashion shops in fifteen European markets. The company has grown rapidly and is today the largest standalone pure online fashion player by net sales in Europe. Key drivers for Zalando's success include its expertise in fashion, retail and technology. Over the past five years, Zalando has focused on building up this expertise and continuously improving operational excellence. Examples of these accomplishments include:
2013 was another year of strong growth for Zalando. Based on preliminary figures, net sales rose by 52% to EUR 1,762m (1,159), despite the challenging year that the European fashion retail markets faced. In absolute terms, sales growth was over EUR 600m, at a similar level as in 2012, despite the fact that Zalando did not launch new country shops in 2013 (Luxembourg was launched during 2013 but is run via the Belgian store). Growth was primarily driven by the continuing trend towards online shopping, and the company saw strong growth in its new markets as well as the more mature regions Germany, Austria, and Switzerland (DACH). The company gained market share in all regional markets. Geographic and category diversification continued: Zalando's core DACH region achieved net sales of more than one billion Euros for the first time, and all international regions showed high double-digit net sales growth. Apparel has become the largest category of the assortment for the first time.
Zalando reported an EBIT margin slightly better than -7% (-7%). Two factors put pressure on margins. First, Zalando as well as the fashion industry in continental Europe overall faced challenging market conditions in 2013, caused by a late start of the summer and a mild winter. This lead to high discount levels in the market, putting pressure on margins. Second, the company decided to continue strategic initiatives in 2013 as the basis for continued future growth and improved customer experience, which led to ramp-up costs in areas such as fulfilment and technology. Examples of Zalando's strategic initiatives in 2013 include:
Despite these effects, Zalando maintained EBIT break-even in the DACH region, combined with continued strong growth. The average return rate remained stable at approximately 50%. Zalando's customer base continued to grow, and ended the year at over 13 million total active customers that have shopped at Zalando at least once during the past 12 months, as compared to over 9 million at the end of 2012.
Zalando is well capitalised to fund future growth with a net cash position of over EUR 350m at year-end 2013.
Avito is the largest and fastest growing online classified platform in Russia. The merger with Naspers-owned Slando.ru and OLX.ru in the beginning of 2013 has significantly reaffirmed this #1 position in the Russian market and the company has a leading position in terms of visitors and number of ads, distancing itself from its competitors. Avito is already the leading brand and has the highest brand awareness among its peers in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
Compared to western countries, Russia still has a low proportion of internet users in relation to the large total population. By the end of 2016 the number of internet users in Russia is expected to reach around 100 million, compared to around 70 million in 2013. The market for internet related services is expected to grow significantly with an increased internet penetration. The Russian e-commerce market was worth some USD 12bln in 2012, and is expected to double in the coming three years. Avito also has early stage online classifieds sites in Ukraine, Morocco and Egypt.
In September 2013, Avito's Russian operations attracted an audience of 23.1 million users who browsed a total of 4.1 billion page views compared to 2.3 billion for the same month in the previous year. Avito reported revenues of SEK 330m in the first nine months of 2013, up 167% compared to same period in 2012. The company reported a positive operating result for the period. Avito had a cash position of more than USD 100m at the end of the year.
Rocket Internet is a company that incubates and develops e-commerce and other consumer-oriented online companies. Kinnevik owned 23.9% of the parent company Rocket Internet GmbH as per 31 December and works closely with the management of Rocket Internet in order to foster companies and develop them into leading Internet players.
Besides the investment into Rocket Internet, Kinnevik has also invested directly into a number of companies supported by Rocket Internet in the following segments:
Dafiti was founded in early 2011 and offers a broad assortment of women's and men's shoes and fashion online. The company started in Brazil, and has since expanded to Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Mexico. Latin America, with a total population of 400 million, shows strong consumption growth, and Dafiti has established itself as one of the key online retailers of fashion in the region.
Dafiti has in 2013 continued to develop well, with an increased focus on unit economics. Due to Brazilian import duties, a large share of Dafiti's products is produced in Brazil. For being an emerging market, Brazil is relatively well developed on e-commerce with several online players in addition to Dafiti.
Dafiti reported net revenue of EUR 155m in 2013 compared to EUR 82m in 2012, corresponding to an increase of 89%*.
Lamoda's warehouse just outside Moscow.
Lamoda was started in early 2011 with its core offering being shoes and fashion in Russia and the CIS. The region has an internet population of around 70 million people, the largest internet population in Europe. Internet penetration is still low in the European context supporting the growth outlook for Lamoda.
Given its comparatively high average order value, Lamoda's unit economics are promising. Lamoda's focus in 2013 has been on further ramping up its own delivery fleet LamodaExpress, which now covers 28 cities in Russia and Kazakhstan. Being in control of last-mile delivery is a key competitive advantage and the roll-out will support Lamoda's growth going forward. In addition, the company has established in-house warehouse operations.
Lamoda's strong growth momentum continued in 2013. Sales in 2013 amounted to approximately EUR 137m compared to EUR 42m in 2012, corresponding to an increase of 223%*.
Jabong is a leading online fashion shop in India that launched in 2012. The population of India is greater than one billion and it has the third largest Internet population in the
world despite a relatively low Internet penetration. Jabong has more than 2,000 employees and has successfully scaled its in-house delivery service fleet to currently fulfill a majority of all shipped orders. Jabong reported net revenue of EUR 32m in the first nine months of 2013 compared to EUR 9m in the same period 2012, corresponding to an increase of 244%*.

Zalora recently announced that it is launching a marketplace platform to encourage third party sellers to offer their products through Zalora's websites. There has also been a big shift in product sourcing as private label and consignment goods have taken an increasing share of sales. Zalora reported net revenues of EUR 23m for the first nine months of 2013 compared to EUR 5m in the same period 2012*.

| Revenue | 4 417 | 4 359 |
| Operating profit/loss, EBIT | -2 | 17 |

Three of CDON Group's four segments showed sales growth during 2013, in particular the Sports & Health segment which sales rose by 36% to SEK 677m (496), combined with stable margins. CDON Group reported an operating profit, excluding non-recurring items, near breakeven for 2013. This was despite the weak start to the year, clearance of overstock at CDON.com during the second half of the year amounting to SEK 20m, as well as extensive investments in organizational reinforcements. Improved cash flow and strongly reduced inventory levels are further recipes to the CDON Group's efforts. The strong financial position and healthy inventory ensures the CDON Group's settings for an increased focus on growth-oriented initiatives and investments in 2014.
CDON Group will increase its investments in growth in 2014, mainly in the Fashion and Sports & Health segments. The initiatives, which are in line with the CDON Group's long-term strategy, have already begun through the recently announced geographical expansion of Nelly.com.
The transformation of CDON.com continues according to plan, and during the end of 2013, CDON.com Marketplace was launched. This was an important strategic step in the transformation of CDON.com to become a leading full-range e-commerce store.
The Board of CDON Group has decided to recommend that no dividend be paid to shareholders in respect of the financial year 2013.
To accomplish an attractive customer offering, an efficient logistics function is required.

The media sector is changing fast as both TV and newspaper consumers move their media consumption online. Consumers can now choose between their TV-set, computer, smartphone, tablet and games console. Kinnevik's media companies are focusing on meeting the consumers' changing habits. For example, MTG has launched a new initiative, MTGx, to provide world class video on demand experiences, build a portfolio of new entertainment services and provide centralized digital skills and platforms.
The market value of Kinnevik's shareholding in MTG amounted to SEK 4,498m on 31 December 2013. MTG's shares are listed on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm's list for Large Cap companies.
MTG is an international entertainment broadcasting group with operations that span four continents and includes free-TV, pay-TV, radio and content production businesses. Viasat, MTG's broadcasting business, broadcasts more than 60 own branded channels in 37 countries and has the second largest broadcasting footprint in Europe. MTG is also the largest shareholder in CTC Media, which is Russia's leading independent television broadcaster.
For MTG, 2013 was a year of investment in its three key strategic growth areas – content, digital and geographical expansion – and these investments are paying off in accelarated growth as MTG's products become more relevant and more broadly available than ever before.
MTG reported net sales of SEK 14,129m (13,336) for
2013, a 8% year-on-year growth at constant exchange rates. The company achieved record sales growth levels for its emerging market free-TV and pay-TV operations in 2013, amounting to 18% and 20% at constant exchange rates, respectively.
The Board of MTG has decided to propose to the Annual General Meeting in May 2013 an ordinary dividend of SEK 10.50 (10.00) per share in respect of the financial year 2013, representing a record high pay-out ratio of 56% excluding non-recurring items.
Metro is, through wholly and partly owned operations as well as franchise agreements, published in over 150 major cities in 23 countries across Europe, Asia, North and South America. Metro's global readership is approximately 18.3 million daily readers.
In the end of 2013, Metro signed agreements to divest its operations in Hong Kong and St. Petersburg to local media companies in the respective markets. Total consideration for both transactions is expected to amount to approximately SEK 220m. The sale of St. Petersburg was closed in the fourth quarter, while the divestment of Hong Kong is expected to be closed in the beginning of 2014.

Revenue decreased by 23% during 2013. The decrease is mainly the result of Metro's sale of the newspaper operations in Denmark, the Netherlands and St. Petersburg.
In order to continue its focus on growth markets in Latin America, and following successfully divesting a number of its operations in mature markets, Metro decided in December to reduce and move its headquarter functions in Stockholm and London to Latin America. This will enable Metro to be close to its core markets as well as to save costs. As a result, a restructuring programme was initiated whereby Metro recorded restructuring costs totaling SEK 23m in the end of 2013, including severance costs for the former Metro Group CEO and other employees that will leave the company as a result of the relocation.
Proportional part of revenue and result
The table below is a compilation of the holdings' revenues and operating result reported for 2013 multiplied by Kinnevik's ownership share at the end of the reporting period, thereby showing Kinnevik's proportional share of the companies' revenues and operating result. The numbers in the table include discontinued operations.
Revenues and operating results reported by companies using a different presentation currency than Swedish kronor have been translated at the average exchange rate for 2013 for both periods.

The Group's financing and management of financial risks is centralised within Kinnevik's finance function and is conducted on the basis of a finance policy established by the Board of Directors. The Group's operational risks are managed within each company with operating business.
The Group has a model for risk management, which aims to identify, control and reduce risks. The identified risks and how they are managed are reported to the Kinnevik Board on a quarterly basis.
Kinnevik is exposed to financial risks mainly in the form of changes in the value of the stock portfolio, changes in market interest rates, exchange-rate risks and liquidity and refinancing risks.

Thereafter, all 449,582 class C treasury shares were converted to class B shares, pursuant to stipulations contained in the Articles of Association.

The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to adopt the following guidelines for remuneration to senior executives. Senior executives covered include the Chief Executive Officer and the other persons in the executive management of Kinnevik (the "Senior Executives") as well as directors of the Board to the extent they are remunerated outside their Board duties.
The objectives of Kinnevik's remuneration guidelines are to offer competitive compensation to attract, motivate and retain key employees. The aim is to create incentives for the Senior Executives to execute strategic plans and deliver excellent operating results and to align their incentives with the interests of the shareholders. The intention is that all Senior Executives shall have a significant long term shareholding in the company.
The remuneration to the Senior Executives shall consist of annual fixed salary, short-term variable remuneration paid in cash (STI), the possibility to participate in a long-term share or share-price related incentive programme (LTI), pension and other customary benefits.
tIn the event of notice of termination of employment being served by the company, the Chief Executive Officer is entitled to salary during a period of a maximum of 18 months and the other Senior Executives are entitled to salary during a period of maximum 12 months.
Board Members, elected at General Meetings, may in certain cases receive a fee for services performed within their respective areas of expertise, outside of their Board duties. Compensation for these services shall be paid at market terms and be approved by the Board.
In special circumstances, the Board may deviate from the above guidelines. In such case, the Board is obligated to give account for the reason for the deviation at the following Annual General Meeting.
In response to the growing breadth, depth and importance of Kinnevik's private investments and to reinforce Kinnevik's ability to position itself strategically for the future, Kinnevik has established Kinnevik Capital. The team at Kinnevik Capital is responsible for actively managing current private investments and identifying attractive new consumer centric businesses in Kinnevik's core sectors and markets.
Kinnevik's objective is to increase shareholder value, primarily through net asset value growth. The Board of Directors of Kinnevik has established the following financial targets that reflect how Kinnevik evaluates its balance sheet, the criteria on which dividend payments to shareholders are based, as well as the return requirements placed on portfolio companies.
Kinnevik's dividend policy is that the company will strive to pay a continuously increasing annual dividend.
To have financial flexibility in the Parent Company, the objective is to have no or a low leverage.
The target is that the average annual internal return rate (IRR) on all investments in the portfolio should reach at least 15% given the current structure of the portfolio.
| Description | Target | Outcome 2013 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Leverage in the Parent Company |
No or a low leverage to have financial flexibility in the Parent Company, which meant an expec ted leverage of SEK 0-5bn in 2013. |
Following the sale of the shares in BillerudKors näs, the Parent Company had net cash of SEK 2.3bn as at 31 Decem ber 2013. |

The Group's future development depends on the performance of wholly and partly owned investments. In addition, trends in the financial markets are highly significant to the Group's reported earnings and position.
The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting approves a cash dividend of SEK 7.00 (6.50) per share, corresponding to an increase of 8%. The total dividend payment to Kinnevik shareholders will thus amount to SEK 1,942m.
The Boards of Directors of Millicom, Tele2 and MTG proposed to the Annual General Meetings in May that dividends be approved according to the following:
| listed holdings (SEKm) | Amount | |
|---|---|---|
| Millicom | USD 2.64 per share | 645 1) |
| Tele2 | SEK 4.40 per share | 596 |

1) Based on an exchange rate of 6.46 SEK/USD.
In 2014, Kinnevik's financial investments are expected to amount to SEK 2-3bn, compared with SEK 2.4bn that Kinnevik invested in 2013. Kinnevik has a strong balance sheet and the Group's net cash at the end of the year amounted to SEK 2.4bn. Kinnevik's investment in growth companies that are not yet generating positive cash flows means that Kinnevik must annually find a balance between the level of investments and growth in dividends to shareholders. Accordingly, future dividends should not be expected to increase at the same rate as prior years.
The following amounts in SEK are at the disposal of the Parent Company's Annual General Meeting:
| Retained earnings | 36,633,586,004 |
|---|---|
| Share premium | 1,615,929,594 |
| Total | 38,249,515,598 |
The Board and the CEO propose that the unappropriated earnings and share premium at the disposal of the Annual General Meeting be disposed of as follows:

1) In the dividend proposal, full allocation has been assumed in accordance with the long-term incentive program that expires on 31 March 2014. Insofar as allocation occurs prior to the Annual General Meeting, these shares will be entitled to dividend payment.
Corporate Governance in the Kinnevik Group is based on Swedish legislation and other generally accepted sound practice on the securities market. Kinnevik applies the Swedish Corporate Governance Code (the "Code")* . This Corporate Governance report represents a formal part of the Board of Directors' Report.
During 2013, Kinnevik, in line with previous years, deviated from the Code regulation stipulating that the Chairman of the Board may not be the Chairman of the Nomination Committee. The deviation from the Code is explained in more detail in the section Nomination Committee below.
The Swedish Companies Act (2005:551) ("ABL") and the Articles of Association determine how the notice to the Annual General Meeting and extraordinary general meetings shall occur, and who has the right to participate in and vote at the meeting. There are no restrictions for the number of votes each shareholder may cast at the general meeting. A-shares entitle to ten votes, whereas other shares entitle to one vote. Distance participation and voting at the general meeting is not available.
Information on major shareholders in the Company, as well as issue authorizations approved by the Annual General Meeting and authorization to acquire own shares, is provided in Note 11 to the Parent Company, Share Capital.
At the 2013 Annual General Meeting, it was decided that a Nomination Committee consisting of at least three members appointed by the Company's largest shareholders would be established during October 2013 following consultation with the largest shareholders in the Company at 30 September 2013. The Nomination Committee would be elected for a period commencing with the publication of the Company's interim report for the third quarter of 2013 until the next Nomination Committee is formed. If a member of the Nomination Committee resigns prematurely, the Nomination Committee can choose to appoint a new member after consultation with the, at that time, largest shareholders in the Company. The Nomination Committee reserves the right to reduce its membership as long as the number of members remains at least three. Cristina Stenbeck is to be a member of the Nomination Committee and will convene the Nomination Committee. The Nomination Committee will itself appoint a Chairman at the first meeting. The Nomination Committee is entitled, upon request, to receive resources from the Company such as the secretarial function in the Nomination Committee and the right to charge the Company with expenses for recruiting consultants and related travel if deemed necessary.
Pursuant to the resolution of the Annual General Meeting, Cristina Stenbeck convened a Nomination Committee consisting of members appointed by the largest shareholders in Kinnevik that have chosen to appoint a member to the Nomination Committee. The Nomination Committee is comprised of Cristina Stenbeck, Max Stenbeck appointed by Verdere S.à r.l., Wilhelm Klingspor appointed by the Klingspor family, Ramsay Brufer appointed by Alecta and Edvard von Horn appointed by the von Horn family. The Nomination Committee's task is to submit proposals for the Board of Directors and Auditors, in the event Auditors shall be elected, and fees to the Board of Directors and Auditors, a proposal for the Chairman of the Annual General Meeting as well as the procedure for the Nomination Committee ahead of the 2014 Annual General Meeting. The Chairman of the Board, Cristina Stenbeck, was appointed Chairman of the Nomination Committee, an appointment that deviates from what the Code prescribes. The other members of the Nomination Committee declared their decision regarding election of the Chairman of the Nomination Committee as being in the Company and shareholders' best interest and a natural consequence of Cristina Stenbeck leading the Nomination Committee's work in recent years, as well as her connection to the Company's largest shareholders.
According to the Articles of Association, the Company shall have not more than three auditors, with not more than three deputies, or a registered audit firm.
At the 2013 Annual General Meeting, the registered audit firm Deloitte AB, with Authorized Public Accountant Jan Berntsson as Auditor in Charge, was newly elected Company auditor for a period of four years until the 2017 Annual General Meeting. Jan Berntsson, born 1964, has also audit engagement in another listed company, Atlas Copco AB. The auditor's independence is secured by legislation and professional ethics and the audit firm's internal guidelines and by adhering to the Audit Committee's guidelines governing the type of assignments that the audit firm may conduct in addition to the audit. During 2013, Deloitte AB has provided certain services in issues regarding Corporate Responsibility, due diligence assignments and IFRS. Information regarding remuneration appears in the Annual Report in Note 20 for the Group and Note 5 for the Parent Company, Auditors' Fees for elected auditors.

the Audit Committee evaluates the auditors' work, qualifications and independence. The Audit Committee monitors the development of the accounting policies and requirements, discusses other significant issues connected with the Company's financial reporting and reports its observations to the Board.
Tom Boardman, Lorenzo Grabau, Erik Mitteregger and Allen Sangines-Krause were members of the Audit Committee during 2013. The Chairman of the Committee was Erik Mitteregger.
The Audit Committee shall meet not less than four times annually. Minutes are kept at the Audit Committee's meetings and are reported to the Board at its next meeting. The Audit Committee held eight meetings during 2013, of which five were held via telephone. Tom Boardman was absent from one meeting and Allen Sangines-Krause was absent from one telephone meeting. The other members were present at all the meetings. The external auditors participated in most of the meetings and issued their reports on the results of their examination to both the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors both orally and in writing. The auditors also held an annual meeting with the Board without management being present.
The Board is responsible for internal control in accordance with the Swedish Companies Act and the Swedish Code of Corporate Governance. This description has been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Code of Corporate Governance, section 7.4 and Chapter 6, paragraph 6 and Chapter 7, paragraph 31 of the Annual Accounts Act (1995:1554), and is thus restricted to the internal control pertaining to the financial reporting.
The purpose of the Board of Directors' rules of procedure and instructions for the CEO and Board committees is to ensure a distinct division of roles and responsibility that promotes the efficient management of operational and financial risks. The Board has also adopted a number of fundamental guidelines of significance to activities involving internal controls, which are described in Kinnevik's Policy and Procedure Manual and include instructions governing the financial reporting of results, authorization procedures, purchasing policies, investment policies, accounting principles, financial risk management and the internal audit. The Company's management reports regularly to the Board following established procedures. In addition, the Audit Committee reports on its work. The Company's management is responsible for the system of internal controls required for managing risks associated with on-going operations. This includes guidelines for the employees to ensure that they understand the importance of their particular roles in efforts to maintain efficient internal control. The Company's operational and financial risks are reported each quarter to the Board, including an analysis of their consequences and financial impact in the event of them materializing, and how and who exercises on-going control over each risk and how these can be minimized.
Kinnevik has implemented a model for assessing the risk of errors in accounting and the financial reporting based on COSO's framework for internal control. The most significant items and processes in which the risk of significant errors can typically arise encompass intangible fixed assets and financial instruments in the income statement and balance sheet, and the investment process. Kinnevik has documented work routines and continuously evaluates how well the controls function pertaining to these items and processes. During 2013, the Audit Committee placed major focus on Kinnevik's policies and processes for valuation of unlisted holdings. To ensure that policies and internal processes function well within this area, the Audit Committee has engaged the external auditors to perform additional work in order to come up with suggestions for improvements in the area.
The Company engages independent auditors that are responsible for following up and evaluating work involved in risk management and internal control. This work includes the monitoring of compliance with set guidelines. The internal auditors conduct their work within the most important subsidiaries and unlisted associated companies on instructions from the Audit Committee and are continuously reporting the results of their examination in the form of written reports to the Committee.
Kinnevik's Policy and Procedure Manual and other guidelines of importance to financial reporting are updated at least once annually. Both formal and informal information channels to Company management and the Board of Directors are available for important information from employees. For external communication, guidelines have been compiled in an Information Policy that ensures that the Company complies with the meticulous demands for correct information to the market and other various constituencies, such as shareholders, Board members, employees and customers.
The Board of Directors continuously evaluates the information provided by Company management and the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee's work to monitor the efficiency of Company management's efforts in this area is of particular importance to the follow-up of internal controls. This work includes ensuring that action is taken concerning those shortcomings and proposed measures that result from the internal and external audit.

Notes to the Group's !nancial statements
The consolidated accounts have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Since the Parent Company is a company that is active in the EU, only EU-approved IFRS are applied. The consolidated accounts have also been prepared in accordance with Swedish law, with application of the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 1 Supplementary accounting regulations for Groups. The Parent Company's annual accounts have been prepared in accordance with Swedish law, and with application of the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2 Reporting for legal entities. This means that the IFRS valuation and disclosure rules are applied but with the deviations reported in the Parent Company's accounting principles.
From 2013, Kinnevik has applied IFRS 13, "Fair Value Measurement". IFRS 13 is a framework for fair value measurement and includes disclosure requirements on fair value measurement. IFRS 13 applies - for both financial and non-financial instruments - when another IFRS requires or permits fair value measurements or disclosures about fair value measurements, except for share-based payment transactions within the scope of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment; leasing transactions within the scope of IAS 17 Leases; and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but that are not fair value (such as net realisable value in IAS 2 Inventories or value in use in IAS 36 Impairment of Assets). Other than the more extensive disclosure requirements, IFRS 13 has not had a material effect on Kinnevik's financial statements.
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments was originally issued in November 2009 and introduced new requirements for classifying and measuring financial assets. In October 2010, the IASB reissued IFRS 9, incorporating new requirements on accounting for financial liabilities and carrying over from IAS 39 the requirements for derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. In December 2011, the IASB issued Mandatory Effective Date and Transition Disclosures (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7), which amended the effective date of IFRS 9 to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, and modified the relief from restating comparative periods and the associated disclosures in IFRS 7 with effective date when IFRS 9 is applied for the first time.
The IASB has also published three other new standards relating to consolidation; IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements , IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements and IFRS 12 Disclosures of interests in Other Entities, as well as amended IAS 27 and IAS 28. EU requires that the new standards and amendments are applied as from 1 January 2014. Kinnevik will adopt the new standards and amendments as from 1 January 2014.
Kinnevik has made the assessment that the new standards not will have any effect on Kinnevik's financial statements except for additional supplementary disclosures.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for investments in derivative financial instruments and certain financial assets valued at fair value through profit and loss. The consolidated statements are presented in Swedish kronor (SEK) and all values are rounded to the nearest million except when otherwise indicated.
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group as of 31 December each year. The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting year as the Parent Company, using consistent accounting policies.
The consolidated financial statements include the Parent Company and all companies in which the Parent Company controls more than 50% of the votes or in any other way exercises a controlling influence.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred
out of the Group. Where there is a loss of control of a subsidiary, the consolidated financial statements include the result for the part of the reporting year during which the Group has control.
The consolidated accounts are prepared using the purchase method. The difference between the acquisition value of shares in a subsidiary, excluding the transaction costs which are recognised directly throug the income statement, and the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities of that subsidiary at the time of acquisition is reported as goodwill.
Intercompany transactions, balance sheet items and unrealized gains on transactions between companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated, unless the transaction evidences the need to write down the transferred asset.
Non-controlling interest – consisting of the profit/loss portion and net assets in Group companies that do not accrue to the Parent Company's shareholders – are reported as a special item in consolidated shareholders' equity. In the consolidated income statement, the non-controlling interest share is included in reported earnings and information is given in connection with the Statement of income.
The functional and presentation currency of the Parent Company and its Swedish subsidiaries is Swedish kronor (SEK). Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Realized and unrealized exchange gains/losses on receivables and liabilities of an operating nature are reported in operating income, while exchange rate differences on financial assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are reported among financial items.
As at the reporting date, the assets and liabilities of subsidiaries that have not the same functional currency as the Group (SEK) are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Their income statements are translated at the average exchange rates for the year. The exchange differences arising on the translation are taken in other comprehensive income and as a separate component of equity. On disposal of a foreign entity, the deferred cumulative amount recognized in equity relating to that particular foreign operation is recognized in the income statement through Other comprehensive income.
Long-term monetary balances between the Parent Company and subsidiaries may be deemed to represent an extension or a contraction of the Parent Company's net investment in the subsidiary. Foreign currency differences arising on such balances are therefore charged as Other comprehensive income as a translation difference.
Intangible assets with a finite useful life are measured on initial recognition at cost and are then carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is calculated on a straight-line schedule based on the acquisition value of the asset and its estimated useful life.
Goodwill consists of the amount by which the acquisition value exceeds the fair value of the Group's share in the identifiable net assets of the acquired subsidiary/ associated company at the time of acquisition. Goodwill from the acquisition of subsidiaries is reported as intangible assets. Intangible assets including goodwill are tested for impairment annually to identify any possible need of a write-down and is reported at its acquisition value less accumulated write-downs. Gains or losses on the divestment of a unit include the remaining reported value of the goodwill relating to the divested unit.
Goodwill is distributed among cash-generating units when it is tested with respect to a possible need for a write-down.
Tangible assets are recognized at cost less deduction of accumulated depreciation and any impairment. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line schedule based on
the acquisition value of the asset and its estimated useful life. The assets residual values, useful lives and methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year-end.
Assets are assessed with respect to the reduction in their value whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the reported value might not be recoverable. To calculate the impairment requirement, assets are grouped in cash-generating units. An impairment loss is done in the amount by which the assets' reported value exceeds its recovery value. The recovery value is the higher of an assets' fair value, less the cost of sale and the value in use. The value in use comprises the present value of deposits and disbursements attributable to the asset during the time it is expected to be in use in operations, plus the present value of the net sales value at the end of the useful life.
Financial instruments in Kinnevik's balance sheet includes on the asset side Financial assets accounted to fair value through profit and loss, Trade receivables, Other current assets (including derivatives), Short-term investments and Cash and cash equivalents. On the liability side, it includes Interest-bearing loans, Trade payables and partly Other payables.
A financial asset or financial liability is recognized in the balance sheet when the Company becomes a party to the instrument's contractual terms. Accounts receivable are recognized when the invoice is sent. A liability is recognized when the counterparty has performed and there is a contractual obligation to pay, even if the invoice has not yet been sent.
A financial asset is derecognized from the balance sheet when the rights in the contract are realized, expired or the Company loses control over them. The same applies for a portion of a financial asset. A financial liability is derecognized from the balance sheet when the obligation in the contract is met or in some other manner is extinguished. The same applies for a portion of a financial liability.
Acquisition and divestment of financial assets are reported on the transaction date, which is the date on which the Company commits to acquire or divest the assets.
Financial instruments are allocated to different categories. A financial instrument is classified upon initial recognition based on the purpose for which it was acquired. The classification determines how the financial instrument is measured after initial recognition.
Financial instruments allocated to Financial assets accounted to fair value through profit and loss, are initially recognized at fair value (excluding transaction costs). Other financial instruments are initially recognized at cost, which corresponds to the instrument's fair value (including transaction costs).
Measurment after initial recognition is described under each category below.
Financial assets accounted to fair value through profit and loss Financial assets in this category are continuously measured at fair value and value changes are reported in the Income Statement.
This category has two subcategories: Financial assets that are initially placed in this category ("Fair value option") and held-for-trading financial assets. All of Kinnevik's financial assets in this category have been allocated to the first of the subcategories and includes financial assets that are managed and measured on the basis of fair values in accordance with the risk management and investment strategies. Kinnevik does not have any held-for-trading financial assets.
Loan receivables and other receivables are non-derivative financial assets with defined or definable payments and defined maturities that are not listed on an active market.
Loan receivables and other receivables are valued at amortized cost by applying the effective interest method, deducting for doubtful debts. The effective interest method means that any premiums or discounts and directly attributable costs or income
are recognized on an accrual basis over the life of the contract using the calculated effective interest. The effective interest is the interest which gives the instrument's cost of acquisition as a result when discounting the future cash flows.
Deduction for doubtful debts is based on individual assessment, considering payment capacity and expected future risk. Trade receivable due more than 180 days are deducted in full as doubtful debts. Bad debts are written off when identified. The maximum risk corresponds to the financial instruments' reported value. Trade receivables generally have 30-90 day terms.
In Kinnevik, derivaties are used only to hedge interest risk when borrowing at floating interest. The derivatives are categorized as cash flow hedges according to IAS 39.
Kinnevik applies hedge accounting for cash flow hedging of borrowing at floating interest. The derivatives are reported initially and continuously at fair value in the balance sheet. Changes in the value of the derivatives are reported as other comprehensive income and are reversed to the income statement in pace with effect of the hedge cash flow on earnings. Any ineffective portion of the change in value is reported directly in the income statement. The interest coupon is reported as a part of the interest costs.
Financial liabilities not held for trading are measured at accrued acquisition value, which is determined based on the effective interest rate calculated when the liability was assumed. This means that surplus and deficit values as well as direct costs in conjunction with assuming of loans are distributed over the term of the liability.
Long-term liabilities have an expected term of exceeding one year, while current liabilities have a term of less than one year. Trade payables have short expected term and are valued at nominal value.
IFRS 13.9 defines fair value as the price 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 fair value of financial instruments traded on an active market is based on the market prices listed on the closing date. The listed market price used for the Group's financial assets is the current bid price. For companies with two classes of shares the market price for the most liquid share class is used.
When establishing the fair value of other financial instruments, methods that in every individual case are assumed to provide the best estimation of fair value have been used. For assets and liabilities maturing within one year, a nominal value adjusted for interest payments and premiums is assumed to provide a good approximation to fair value.
Kinnevik's unlisted holdings are valued using IFRS 13, whereby a collective assessment is made to establish the valuation method that is most suitable for each individual holding. Firstly, it is considered whether any recent transactions have been made at arm's length in the companies. For new share issues, consideration is taken to if the newly issued shares have better preference to the company's assets than earlier issued shares if the company is being liquidated or sold. For companies where no or few recent arm's length transactions have been performed, a valuation is conducted by applying relevant multiples to the company's historical and forecast key figures, such as sales, profit, equity, or a valuation based on future cash flows. When performing a valuation based on multiples, consideration is given to potential adjustments due to, for example, difference in size, historic growth and geographic market between the current company and the group of comparable companies.
Work to measure Kinnevik's unlisted holdings at fair value is performed by the financial department and based on financial information reported from each holding. The correctness of the financial information received is ensured through continuous contacts with management of each holding, monthly reviews of the accounts, as
well as internal audits performed by auditors engaged by Kinnevik. Prior to decisions being made about the valuation method to be applied for each holding, and the most suitable peers with which to compare the holding, the financial department obtains information and views from the investment team, as well as external sources of information. Information and opinions on applicable methods and groups of comparable companies are also obtained periodically from well-renowned, valuation companies in the market. The results from the valuation is discussed firstly with the CEO and the Chairman of the Audit Committee, following which a draft is sent to all members of the Audit Committee, who analyze and discuss the outcome before it is approved at a meeting attended by the company's external auditors.
Information is provided in Note 4 for the Group per class of financial instruments that are valued at fair value in the balance sheet, distributed in the three levels stated below:
Level 1: Fair value established based on listed prices in an active market for the same instrument.
Level 2: Fair value established based on valuation techniques with observable market data, either directly (as a price) or indirectly (derived from a price) and not included in Level 1.
Level 3: Fair value established using valuation techniques, with significant input from data that is not observable in the market.
Following the divestment of Korsnäs on 29 November 2012, the Group only has defined benefit plans for some former employees within the Parent Company. The yearly expenses for these defined benefit plans as well as the premium-based pension benefits are reported in Profit or Loss.
Kinnevik has share-saving programs for which the fair value, calculated on the date of allotment, of the allotted share-based instruments is expensed over the vesting period and is recognized directly in equity. Instrument issued within the Group's sharesavings program consists of shares. Kinnevik classifies the share-related remuneration programs as transactions that will be regulated with equity instrument. The fair value of the shares consists of the market price on each allocation occasion. The cost is based on the Group's assessment of the number of shares that will be allotted. A new assessment of the anticipated number of allocated shares is performed at year-end. Fair value is restated on every balance-sheet date, to reflect calculations of social security costs expensed continuously over the vesting period in the various companies.
Provisions are reported when the Group has a legal or contractual obligation to fulfill the obligation, when it is likely that a payment or some other form of compensation is required to settle the undertaking and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are reported at their discounted present value when the time horizon exceeds two years. A provision for restructuring is reported when the Group has presented a detailed plan for the implementation of the measures and the plan has been communicated to the parties involved and soundly based anticipation is created.
Revenue from the sale of services is recognized at the time the service is rendered to the customer, after deductions for discounts.
Revenue is recognized as the interest accrues to the net carrying amount of the financial assets.
Dividends received are recognized when the shareholders' right to receive the payment is assessed as certain.
Advertising costs and other marketing activities are expensed as they arise.
The total tax on the year's income consists of current and deferred tax. Taxes are stated in the income statement except when the underlying transaction is charged to other comprehensive income or directly against equity, in which case the related tax effect is also stated in equity. Current tax expense is the tax that is to be paid or received for the year in question, plus correction of tax expense for earlier periods. Deferred tax is calculated on the basis of the temporary differences between the book values of assets and liabilities and their value for tax purposes. The amounts are calculated on the basis of how these differences can be expected to be evened out and using the tax rates and rules in effect or announced as of the closing date. Temporary differences are not recorded in the case of differences attributable to interests in subsidiaries and associated companies that are not expected to be taxable in the foreseeable future. In the consolidated financial statements, untaxed reserves are divided into deferred tax liability and equity. The deferred tax asset component of deductible temporary differences and tax loss carry forwards is only recorded in so far as it is likely that these will result in a lower tax payment in the future.
For dividends in kind, the net assets market value is recorded as dividend. Cash dividends to shareholders are recorded in the accounting period the dividend is approved.
Leases are classified in the consolidated accounts as financial leases or operating leases. Kinnevik only has leases classified as operating leases. For operating leases, the rental expense is reported in the lessee's accounts distributed equally over the period during which the asset is used, even if the payments are made according to some other schedule.
The cash-flow statements for the Group and for the Parent company are prepared using the direct method. For purposes of the Parent Company and the consolidated cash-flow statements, the Group include cash and investments with original duration of maximum three months among cash and bank. The book value of these items corresponds to fair value.
The preparation of the annual financial statements and consolidated financial statements includes a number of estimates and assumptions. The application of these estimates and assumptions affects the reporting and disclosures. Accounting policies that require more significant judgments by the Board and the management in the application of IFRS, and assumptions and estimations in matters that are inherently uncertain, are summarized below.

Other intangible fixed assets as per 31 December 2013 mainly refers to the acquired trademark Metro, which is valued at SEK 340m (422). The trademark's useful life is estimated to be indefinit, as the trademark has a high recognition factor in the countries where Metro is established and as there are no known factors that limit the use of the trademark. Disposals of Other intangible fixed assets are mainly related to the sales of the operations Metro Denmark and Metro St Petersburg within Metro. Goodwill that has arisen through company acquisitions is mainly distributed among two cash-generating units: G3 Good Governance Group (G3) and Metro.
An impairment test was performed at the end of 2013. The impairment test was based on estimated cash flow to calculate value in use. The calculated value in use was then compared to the book value of the cash-generating unit.
Estimated cash flow is based on budget up until year 2014 and financial forecast up until 2018. Estimated cash flow is based on previous experience as well as external factors. Key assumptions in calculating value in use include discount rate, sales growth and operating margins.
Goodwill related to G3 was impaired by SEK 75 when G3 was tested for imapirment based on value in use. Value in use for G3 was calculated based on discounted cash flows assuming an annual growth rate of 2% and a pretax discount rate of 15%, corresponding to the average cost of capital for G3. Value in use has decreased as a result of a decrease in actual and expected future profitability. Impairment of goodwill for 2013 is entirely related to G3.
The value in use for Metro was calculated on the basis of discounted cash flows, for the different cash generating units within Metro. Growth for the different cash generating units are forecasted at 0-6% and the pretax discount rate is estimated at 10- 17%. No impairment requirement has been identified for Metro. A sensitivity analysis, whereby the discount interest rate was increased by one percentage point and cash flow was reduced by 10%, would in both cases give rise to impairment requirement.

County administrative boards have submitted claims to Kinnevik regarding environmental studies at a number of sites where Fagersta AB (through name changes and a merger, Investment AB Kinnevik) conducted operations until 1983. Kinnevik's position is that the Company's responsibility to perform any decontamination measures must be very limited if any, primarily out of consideration to the long period of time that has passed since any potential contamination damages occurred and the regulations that were in force at the time, and the fact that a quarter century has passed since operations were shut down or turned over to new owners. Kinnevik has therefore not made any provisions for potential future claims for decontamination measures. SEK 5m was provided in 2007 for potential environmental studies that Kinnevik might be required to pay for and of this approximately SEK 1.2m was used in 2010 to 2013.
Metro has been defendant in two legal cases in Spain, one relating to an
agreement with an ad sales agency and the other relating to a consultancy contract with a former managing director of Metro Spain. During the autumn 2013, the court of second instance found against Metro and Metro has thereafter settled the amount that was provided for in 2011.
In December 2013 decisions about restructuring for Metro's headquarter and within G3 were taken. Provision for unpaid personnel costs amounts to SEK 25m which will be paid during 2014.

In February 2012 the Swedish Tax Agency informed Kinnevik that they intend to demand that Kinnevik pay withholding tax amounting to SEK 702m. During the fourth quarter 2012, Kinnevik received a decision on the issue from the Swedish Tax Agency. The Swedish Tax Agency considers that withholding tax should be lodged on an intra-Group distribution of Kinnevik class A shares ("the Shares"), which Kinnevik received in connection with the acquisition of Emesco AB in 2009. The distribution of the Shares took place after Kinnevik's acquisition of Emesco, and Kinnevik subsequently transferred the Shares to the sellers as part of the purchase consideration for Emesco. The Swedish Tax Agency is of the opinion that Kinnevik received the distribution on behalf of the sellers, and that the distribution is withholding tax liable in accordance with Section 4, paragraph 3 of the Swedish Withholding Tax Act.
Kinnevik vehemently refutes the Swedish Tax Agency's view that the Withholding Tax Act is applicable to the distribution of the class A shares. The Swedish Tax Agency's interpretation is in Kinnevik's view contrary to the purpose of the mentioned rule, which is to tax dividends on temporary shareholdings transferred through loans or similar transactions in connection with the date of distribution. In Kinnevik's case, Kinnevik acquired the Emesco shares in September 2009 and continues to hold them as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Group. Kinnevik is of the opinion that the Swedish Tax Agency has chosen to interpret the Withholding Tax Act in a manner that is not compatible with the wording or purpose of the Act, its legislative history or case law, and Kinnevik strongly refutes the Swedish Tax Agency's demands. All of Kinnevik's legal advisors confirm Kinnevik's view on the matter.
Kinnevik has appealed the Swedish Tax Agency's decision, and deferred payment of any tax. No provision has been made in the accounts for the tax exposure.
Refer also to Note 18 for the Group regarding costs for decontamination of contingent contamination damages.

The aim is to create incentives for the Senior Executives to execute strategic plans and deliver excellent operating results and to align their incentives with the interests of the shareholders.
The remuneration to the Senior Executives shall consist of annual fixed salary, short-term variable remuneration paid in cash (STI), the possibility to participate in a long-term incentive programme (LTI), pension and other customary remunerations and benefits.
Board Members, elected at General Meetings, may in certain cases receive a fee for services performed within their respective areas of expertise, outside of their Board duties. Compensation for these services shall be paid at market terms and be approved by the Board.
In special circumstances, the Board may deviate from the above guidelines. In such case, the Board is obligated to give account for the reason for the deviation at the following Annual General Meeting.
The Board's proposal to the Annual General Meeting 2014 regarding adoption of new guidelines on remuneration for senior executives can be found in the Board of Directors' report.

1) Other senior executives consisted during the year of 7-9 persons and amounted to 8 (6) persons at the end of the year, refer to page 80.
In addition to remuneration paid by Kinnevik, as specified in the table above, the CEO has received board fees for work done on the Boards of Kinnevik's associated companies amounting to SEK 2.7m (2.1). Other Senior Executives have received Board fees from associated companies amounting to SEK 1.8m (1.4).
For the CEO of the Parent Company, pension premium payments of 30% (20%) of fixed salary were paid. In the event of termination of employment initiated by the Company, the CEO is entitled to a salary during a notice period of 18 months. Any salary received from new employment during the notice period reduces salary received from Kinnevik during the notice period. In the event of termination of employment initiated by the CEO, the notice period is 12 months.
For the other senior executives pension premium payments of a maximum of 30% (20%) of fixed salary were paid. Pension premiums are paid to insurance companies. In the event of termination of employment initiated by the Company, other senior executives are entitled to a salary over a notice period of a minimum 6 and a maximum 12 months. Any salary received from new employment during the notice period reduces salary received from Kinnevik during the notice period.
There are long-term incentive plans (the "Plans") for senior executives and other key employees in the Kinnevik Group that require participants to own shares in Kinnevik.
For each share held within the framework of the Plans, the Company has distributed retention and performance-based share rights. Subject to fulfillment of certain retention- and performance-based conditions during the individual periods included in the Plans (1 April 2011 – 31 March 2014,1 April 2012 – 31 March 2015 and 1 April 2013 – 31 March 2016, the "Measure Periods"), the participant remaining in the employment of the Kinnevik Group at the time of publication of the interim reports for the January – March 2014, January – March 2015, January – March 2016 periods, and subject to the participant retaining the invested shares, each retention right and performance right will entitle the participant to receive one class B share in the Company.
The number of shares the employee will receive depends on the fulfillment of defined retention- and performance-based conditions during the Measure Periods based on:
In order to equalize participants' interests with those of shareholders, the Company will compensate for forfeited dividends by increasing the number of shares and rights to which they are entitled.
The value of the share rights for each plan has been based on the average
share price (highest and lowest bid price) during five trading days before the date of distribution of the B shares. The value of the cap has been estimated to SEK 0 based on Black & Scholes and based on the volatility at the date of distribution.
For the share rights that have market related performance conditions (according to IFRS 2), the value has been reduced to an estimated fair value. The multiplier includes the performance criteria and the probability for different outcome in these share rights.
The plan approved in 2010, with a measure period of 1 April 2010 – 31 March 2013, resulted in allotment of 33,145 shares out of a maximum allotment of 71,800 rights. The number of total alloted shares included dividend compensation totaling 1,614 shares. Participants' profit, which was restricted to a maximum of SEK 573 per share, was SEK 168.21 per share corresponding to the average share price on the day when the shares were received. The dilution, which was restricted to a maximum of 0.05% in terms of shares outstanding, was around 0.01%. The plan's total cost, including social security expenses, was SEK 6.3m and was expensed continuously during 2010 – 2013.

1)During 2012 and 2013, there was a consultancy agreement between Kinnevik and Allen Sangines-Krause through his company which entitled him to a service fee of SEK 2m per year for services provided to the Board and management of Kinnevik in addition to customary board work. Allen Sangines-Krause is therefore not considered as an independent Director of the Company and its management.
The Group's financing and management of financial risks is centralized within Kinnevik's finance function and is conducted on the basis of a finance policy established by the Board of Directors. The policy is reviewed continuously by the finance function and is being updated when appropriate in discussion with the audit committee and upon approval by the Kinnevik Board. The Group has a model for risk management with the aim to identify, control and reduce risks. The output of the model is reported to the Kinnevik Board on a quarterly basis.
Kinnevik is exposed to financial risks mainly in respect of
Kinnevik's operations include management of a stock portfolio comprising considerable investments in a small number of listed and unlisted companies. Accordingly, a large part of the portfolio is concentrated to a small number of companies, which makes the total return highly dependent on how well these companies and their particular industries develop. The concentrated portfolio results in a significant risk in the portfolio, in that it is difficult for Kinnevik during a limited time to make major changes in the portfolio's composition. Kinnevik's strategy is to participate actively in the companies in which the Group invests. By being an active owner, the return can be maximized and the risks controlled. The Group's assets, through ownership of shares in a number of companies conducting operations in more than 80 countries, are exposed to political risks. More than 50% of the market value of Kinnevik's combined assets of approximately SEK 63.3 billion at 31 December 2013, were exposed to growth markets in Latin America, Africa, Eastern Europe and Asia.
On 31 December 2013, Kinnevik had 64% (72%) of its total assets listed on the NASDAQ OMX stock exchange in Stockholm and 36% (28%) were unlisted.
The stock market risk associated with Kinnevik's portfolio may be illustrated by stating that a 10% change in the prices of all of the listed shareholdings at 31 December 2013 would have affected earnings and shareholders' equity by SEK 4.0 billion.
The value of the unlisted shareholdings may increase or decrease due to a number of different factors, of which changes of trends in the stock markets is one. In the valuation process for the unlisted holdings, a number of factors are considered such as sales multiples in comparable companies in the same sectors and the value in transactions in the company's shares. Any changes in these factors have an impact on the total value. For companies that are valued based on sales multiples (i.e. Zalando, Avito, as well as direct and indirect ownership in Bigfoot I, Bigfoot II, Home 24, BigCommerce, Westwing and Wimdu), a decrease in the multiples by 10% would at 31 December 2013 have decreased the value by SEK 1.6 billion. Also refer to Note 1 when it comes to the process for valuation of unlisted holdings.
Parts of the stock portfolio are used as collateral for Kinnevik's bank loans. On 31 December 2013, Kinnevik had no secured loans outstanding. Also refer to Note 22 for the Group.
Kinnevik's main policy is to maintain short interest periods on the outstanding loans because the Company believes that this leads to lower interest expense over time. Exceptions from this rules may however be granted for specific situations. On 31 December 2013, the outstanding bonds of SEK 1,200 m, were under such exception whereby the interest rate was fixed for 5 years in December 2012. SEK 1,000 m of the total bond was originally issued with floating rates but was hedged into a fixed rate of 3.32% by a interest rate swap. The swap expires on the same date as the repayment of the bond, i.e. on 12 December 2017. On 31 December 2013, this swap had a positive market value of SEK 11 m. Any changes in value of the swap is booked against the hedge reserve within the equity since the swap is deemed to be efficient and thereby fulfills the criteria for hedge accounting. If there would be a 1% parallel downwards shift of the interest rate curve, the value would be SEK 37 m lower.
On 31 December 2013, Kinnevik had short term deposits amounting to SEK 3.5 billion. The tenor of each deposit was 3 months at the most, in line with Kinnevik's policy. If the interest rates would have been reduced by 0.5% for all of the deposits, the interest income would have been SEK 18m lower on a yearly basis.
The Group's funding and cash consists mainly of SEK and excluding dividends received and investments and disposals made, the Group did not have any major cash flows in foreign currencies.
Translation exposure arises when the earnings and shareholders' equity of foreign subsidiaries are translated into SEK. This exposure also arises in situations when the capital employed and the financing of it is in different currencies. Kinnevik's policy is to minimize the foreign exchange rate risk by borrowing in various currencies to finance capital employed. If this is not possible and significant temporary exposures exist, the Group's finance policy permits the use of forward contracts. On 31 December 2013, there were no outstanding forward contracts with this purpose. Translation exposure arising from the translation of the foreign subsidiaries' earnings and shareholders' equity is not hedged since the exposure is considered being of no material importance to Kinnevik.
Kinnevik's balance sheet is exposed to foreign exchange risk by owning shares in listed as well as unlisted companies that engage in foreign operations, such as Millicom, Zalando, Tele2 and MTG. For Millicom this risk arises since their reporting is done in USD and further since they conduct operations in 13 countries in Latin America and Africa. On 31 December 2013, the value of the holdings in Millicom was SEK 24.2 billion.
On 31 December 2013, the value of Kinnevik's unlisted holdings were SEK 21.2 billion whereof approximately SEK 18 billion was represented by holdings that report in EUR and approximately SEK 3 billion that report in USD. The holdings in the unlisted portfolio operate for instance in the Nordic countries, the euro zone, Russia, Latin America, South East Asia and India and as a consequence all these holdings are exposed to different foreign exchange risks. For Kinnevik's largest unlisted holding, Zalando, that reports in EUR, a change in the EUR/SEK rate by 5% would affect the fair value of Kinnevik's shareholding by SEK 607 m as per 31 December 2013.
Kinnevik's liquidity and financing risk is limited because listed shares account for a large part of the Company's assets. On 31 December 2013, the Company also had cash and short term deposits amounting to SEK 3,967 m and committed but not utilized, or reserved in any other way, credit facilities amounting to SEK 5,930 m. The tenor of the short term deposits was less than 3 months in line with Kinnevik's finance policy.
Kinnevik's refinancing risk is limited by having financing from different sources and loans from a number of different credit institutions with diversified maturities as well as by striving for refinancing of all facilities at least six months prior to maturity. In
December 2013, Kinnevik refinanced the syndicated credit facility of SEK 5,800 m whereby the maturity date was extended until December 2016. At the same time, 2 extension options were reinstated with a right for Kinnevik, subject to agreement with the participating banks, to extend by 1 year per option.
On 31 December 2013, the total amount of committed financing was SEK 7,170 m (7,943) with a average remaining facility duration of 3.1 (3.2) years. For further details, please refer to Note 16 for the Group.
The counterparty risk for Kinnevik in the financial transactions is regulated in Kinnevik's finance policy for instance for counterparties to short term deposits by requiring them to have a minimum credit worthiness (rating), maximum amounts and tenors. On 31 December 2013, Kinnevik had its largest single exposure to counterparty risk, SEK 1 billion, in the form of a deposit with one of Kinnevik's banks.
There has been no material discontinuing of operations during 2013.
On 20 June 2012, Kinnevik announced that an agreement had been reached with Billerud regarding a merger between Korsnäs and Billerud. The transaction was completed on 29 November 2012. In consideration, Kinnevik received a cash payment of SEK 2,752m (before transaction costs); 25% of the shares in the new company BillerudKorsnäs (with a market value of SEK 2,367m on the closing day); and a SEK 500m promissory note (which was used to participate in BillerudKorsnäs's rights issue in December 2012). BillerudKorsnäs also assumed net debt of SEK 5,576m as part of the transaction. All in all, Korsnäs was valued at SEK 11,195m on the closing day.
The divestment of Korsnäs - including 75% of the shares in Latgran Biofuels and 5% of the shares in Bergvik Skog - has been reported separately as discontinued operations in the income statement for 2012, as per IFRS 5-Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations.

There are no material businesses acquired during 2013.
On 6 February 2012 Kinnevik made a public offer for all shares and other financial instruments in Metro, which resulted in Kinnevik becoming the principal owner of Metro on 29 March owning 97.1% of the capital on a fully diluted basis. After further share purchases, Kinnevik owned 99.0% of the capital as per 31 December 2012. Kinnevik is consolidating Metro from 31 March 2012, which is the first date on which Metro prepared consolidated financial statements following the acquisition. The acquisition value for all of Metro including Kinnevik's earlier holdings, as well as non-controlling interests has according to the acquisition assessment been calculated at SEK 1,419m including debentures of SEK 492m.
The fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of Metro as at the date of acquisition was:
| Fair value recognised on acquisition |

From the date of acquisition, Metro contributed SEK 1.234m of revenue and SEK 24m in operating profit to Kinnevik in 2012. If the business combination had taken place at the beginning of 2012, the revenue from Metro would have been SEK 1,541m and the operating profit SEK 73m.
Goodwill from the acquisition totalling SEK 472m is attributable to strategic benefits to further develop and restructuring Metro's operation outside the stock market, as well as certain synergies that are anticipated to arise from the merging of Metro's operations with certain parts of Kinnevik's other existing operations in selected countries.
Kinnevik's holding in Metro, prior to the acquisition on 29 March 2012, was measured at market value. Consequently, no profit or loss arose as a result of the revaluation to fair value of this holding in connection with the acquisition.
The transaction costs of approximately SEK 16m have been expensed and are included in the administrative expenses in the income statement and are part of operating cash flow in the statement of cash flow for 2012.

The Parent Company's annual accounts have been prepared in accordance with Swedish law and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2 (Reporting for legal entities).
The Parent Company's accounting principles depart from the principles governing consolidated accounting in respect of the valuation of financial instruments and pension liabilities. The Parent Company applies RFR 2 in respect of the option not to observe IAS 39. Financial instruments are thus not valued at fair value as in the Group but at their acquisition cost and after write-down, if any. Pension liabilities are reported in accordance with Swedish principles. For information concerning related party transactions, refer to Note 24 for the Group.

County administrative boards have submitted claims to Kinnevik regarding environmental studies at a number of sites where Fagersta AB (through name changes and a merger, Investment AB Kinnevik) conducted operations until 1983. Kinnevik's position is that the Company's responsibility to perform any decontamination measures must be very limited, if any, primarily out of consideration to the long period of time that has passed since any potential contamination damages occurred and the regulations that were in force at the time, and the fact that a quarter century has passed since operations were shut down or turned over to new owners. Kinnevik has therefore not made any provisions for potential future claims for decontamination measures. SEK 5 m was provided in 2007 for potential environmental studies that Kinnevik might be required to pay for of which approximately SEK 1.2 m was used in 2010 to 2013.
Change in shareholders' equity from the preceding year's balance sheet are presented in Movements in Shareholders' equity of the Parent Company.
Investment AB Kinnevik's share capital as of 31 December 2013 was distributed among 277,768,190 shares with a par value of SEK 0.10 per share.

In February 2012 the Swedish Tax Agency informed Kinnevik that they intend to demand that Kinnevik pay withholding tax amounting to SEK 702m. During the fourth quarter 2012, Kinnevik received a decision on the issue from the Swedish Tax Agency. The Swedish Tax Agency considers that withholding tax should be lodged on an intra-Group distribution of Kinnevik class A shares ("the Shares"), which Kinnevik received in connection with the acquisition of Emesco AB in 2009. The distribution of the Shares took place after Kinnevik's acquisition of Emesco, and Kinnevik subsequently transferred the Shares to the sellers as part of the purchase consideration for Emesco. The Swedish Tax Agency is of the opinion that Kinnevik received the distribution on behalf of the sellers, and that the distribution is withholding tax liable in accordance with Section 4, paragraph 3 of the Swedish Withholding Tax Act.
Kinnevik vehemently refutes the Swedish Tax Agency's view that the Withholding Tax Act is applicable to the distribution of the class A shares. The Swedish Tax Agency's interpretation is in Kinnevik's view contrary to the purpose of the mentioned rule, which is to tax dividends on temporary shareholdings transferred through loans or similar transactions in connection with the date of distribution. In Kinnevik's case, Kinnevik acquired the Emesco shares in September 2009 and continues to hold them as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Group. Kinnevik is of the opinion that the
Swedish Tax Agency has chosen to interpret the Withholding Tax Act in a manner that is not compatible with the wording or purpose of the Act, its legislative history or case law, and Kinnevik strongly refutes the Swedish Tax Agency's demands. All of Kinnevik's legal advisors confirm Kinnevik's view on the matter. Kinnevik has appealed the Swedish Tax Agency's decision, and deferred payment of any tax. No provision has been made in the accounts for the tax exposure
Refer also to Note 10 for the Parent Company regarding costs for decontamination of contingent contamination damages.
Intra-group revenue for the Parent Company amounted to SEK 9m (17) of which invoicing of management fee to Kinnevik New Ventures AB of SEK 4m (6) and to Metro Group SEK 4m.

Our Audit Report was issued on 2 April 2014 Deloitte AB

Audit Report
We have audited the annual accounts and consolidated accounts of Investmenet AB Kinnevik (publ) for the financial year 2013 except for the corporate governance statement on pages 35-38. The annual accounts and consolidated accounts of the company are included in the printed version of this document on pages 30-76.
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these annual accounts in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and of the consolidated accounts in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the EU, and the Annual Accounts Act, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors and the Managing Director determine is necessary to enable the preparation of annual accounts and consolidated accounts that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these annual accounts and consolidated accounts based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the annual accounts and consolidated accounts are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the annual accounts and consolidated accounts. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the company's preparation and fair presentation of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Board of Directors and the Managing Director, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
In our opinion, the annual accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the parent company as of 31 December 2013 and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act. The consolidated accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the group as of 31 December 2013 and of their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the EU, and the Annual Accounts Act. Our opinions do not cover the corporate governance statement on pages 35-38. The statutory administration report is consistent with the other parts of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts.
We therefore recommend that the annual meeting of shareholders adopt the income statement and balance sheet for the parent company and the group.
The audit of the annual accounts for the financial year 2012 were performed by another auditor who submitted an auditor's report dated March 26, 2013, with unmodified opinions in the Report on the annual accounts and consolidated accounts.
In addition to our audit of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts, we have also audited the proposed appropriations of the company's profit or loss and the administration of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director of Investment AB Kinnevik (publ) for the financial year 2013. We have also conducted a statutory examination of the corporate governance statement.
The Board of Directors is responsible for the proposal for appropriations of the company's profit or loss, and the Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for administration under the Companies Act Act and that the corporate governance statement on pages 35-38 has been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion with reasonable assurance on the proposed appropriations of the company's profit or loss and on the administration based on our audit. We conducted the audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden.
As a basis for our opinion on the Board of Directors' proposed appropriations of the company's profit or loss, we examined the Board of Directors' reasoned statement and a
selection of supporting evidence in order to be able to assess whether the proposal is in accordance with the Companies Act.
As a basis for our opinion concerning discharge from liability, in addition to our audit of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts, we examined significant decisions, actions taken and circumstances of the company in order to determine whether any member of the Board of Directors or the Managing Director is liable to the company. We also examined whether any member of the Board of Directors or the Managing Director has, in any other way, acted in contravention of the Companies Act, the Annual Accounts Act or the Articles of Association.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinions.
Furthermore, we have read the corporate governance statement and based on that reading and our knowledge of the company and the group we believe that we have a sufficient basis for our opinions. This means that our statutory examination of the corporate governance statement is different and substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden.
We recommend to the annual meeting of shareholders that the profit be appropriated in accordance with the proposal in the statutory administration report and that the members of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director be discharged from liability for the financial year.
A corporate governance statement has been prepared, and its statutory content is consistent with the other parts of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts.
