"2023 was a challenging year. Several of our companies did not meet our performance expectations, which is reflected in the weak development of our Net Asset Value during the year. On the other hand, we doubled down in our highest-conviction companies, taking advantage of our strong financial position and permanent capital allowing us to invest when many need to exit. We made selected new investments in our focus sectors, and we limited deployment into companies lacking traction. As a result, we headed into 2024 with a stronger and more concentrated portfolio, and with a SEK 7.9bn net cash position."
Georgi Ganev CEO of Kinnevik
HIGHLIGHTS IN THE QUARTER
Key Events
- In January, TravelPerk announced a USD 104m equity funding round led by new investor SoftBank. Kinnevik also invested further in the company through an anchor investment in the second quarter 2023 as part of this round
- Aira completed a financing round of EUR 145m, upsized from the initial EUR 85m target, supported by a co-leading investment from Kinnevik partner Temasek
- The unlisted portfolio was written down by SEK 3.5bn or 11 percent during the quarter, reflecting scrutinized forecasts and contracting multiples, several unchanged valuations due to transactions in line with Q3 marks and significant cuts in long-tail companies, as well as SEK 1.7bn currency headwind
Investment Activities
- We invested SEK 363m in the quarter, including:
- SEK 138m into Oda/Mathem
- SEK 96m into Pleo
- During full-year 2023, we invested SEK 4.9bn in aggregate, focused on follow-on investments into our highest conviction companies with a record-high SEK 1.5bn deployment into secondary equity
- We released SEK 1.4bn in aggregate through divestments during 2023, bringing full-year net investments to SEK 3.5bn
Financial Position
- NAV of SEK 48.2bn (SEK 171 per share), down SEK 2.6bn or 5% in the quarter, and SEK 4.7bn or 9% in the full-year
- Net cash position of SEK 7.9bn, corresponding to 19 percent of portfolio value by year-end
- Leaving six years of building a new portfolio behind us, in 2024 we enter a new phase focused more on portfolio concentration driven increasingly by investee operational performance, during which we expect SEK 3-5bn in net investments per annum on average over the next three years

CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S REVIEW
Dear Shareholders,
2023 was a challenging year. Several of our companies did not meet our performance expectations, which is reflected in the weak development of our Net Asset Value during the year. On the other hand, we doubled down in our highest-conviction companies, taking advantage of our strong financial position and permanent capital allowing us to invest when many need to exit. We made selected new investments in our focus sectors, and we limited deployment into companies lacking traction. As a result, we headed into 2024 with a stronger and more concentrated portfolio, and with a SEK 7.9bn net cash position.
Kinnevik's 2023 Financials
Our Net Asset Value amounted to SEK 48.2bn or 171 per share at the end of 2023, down by SEK 4.7bn or 9 percent during the year and down SEK 2.6bn or 5 percent during the fourth quarter. The carrying value of our private investments was written down by 11 percent, reflecting scrutinized forecasts and contracting multiples relative to public comparables, several unchanged valuations due to transactions in line with Q3 marks and significant cuts in long-tail companies, as well as strong currency headwinds. Growth remained strong in 2023, and on average our private companies grew topline by more than 60 percent. We ended the year with SEK 7.9bn in net cash and a well-funded portfolio where more than 70 percent of our private companies by value are either profitable or funded to break-even.
Building a Growth Portfolio
As we set out in 2018 to transform Kinnevik into a leading growth investor, we focused initially on reallocating capital at a high pace and on building a complementary and attractive group of companies largely from scratch. Since then, we have invested a total of SEK 27bn in more than 30 companies. Even though our growth portfolio is still young, we have proven our ability to reallocate capital within it by realizing SEK 9bn at 3.9x our invested capital. On top of this, we have also made sell-downs in legacy companies of SEK 21bn, paid 6.5bn in cash dividends and distributed close to 75bn in value to shareholders through spin-offs. As a result, more than 70 percent of Kinnevik's portfolio is today invested in the young growth portfolio we began building in 2018.
In any growth portfolio, there will be companies that are unsuccessful. In 2023, Babylon Health was unable to fund their continued growth, resulting in the liquidation of the company. In 2022, Simple Feast filed for bankruptcy. Many businesses still managing to survive have instead had their valuations cut drastically to reflect bleaker outlooks and lower multiples. Our consumer-facing companies such as Oda/Mathem and Instabee have struggled after the pandemic, impacting their performance, their valuations and our Net Asset Value. Even so, the returns in our cohort of investees added since 2018 remains competitive, with an average IRR of 15 percent, thanks to the strong and consistent performance of the handful of companies that today make up a much larger share of our portfolio than they have over these last years.
A New Phase of Portfolio Concentration
If the first phase of our journey since 2018 was characterized by intense capital reallocation and building something new, the next phase of our journey will be characterized by concentrating our portfolio. What is important for future value creation is that we support and continue to invest in a select handful of companies where performance stands out and where we have high long-term conviction. Companies where the combination of ambitious, diverse teams with long-term mindsets, innovative products and services, and focused execution put them on a strong value creation trajectory.
Companies of this breed that we have backed are for example Spring Health, Mews, TravelPerk, Pleo and Cityblock. Their focus in 2023 has been on maintaining high growth and improving unit economics while continuing to gain their share of large and growing addressable markets. TravelPerk, in which we invested just over SEK 180m net during 2023, grew revenue by 70 percent in 2023, grew gross profit by 90 percent through automation and AI, and have annualized booking volumes approaching USD 2bn. This performance is what has enabled the company to recently raise more than USD 100m in new financing.
We also have a set of newer companies that are earlier in their growth journey, but that are addressing large markets and solving some of the most pressing challenges of our time. Companies such as Recursion and Enveda within AI-enabled drug discovery, and companies such as Solugen, H2 Green Steel and Aira within vertically integrated climate tech. We are carefully monitoring the progress of these companies, have strong partners that share our conviction and priorities as owners, and believe each of them has significant return potential over the next five years. As and if our conviction remains steadfast, we will deploy more capital into these businesses to further increase their contribution to our portfolio.
Outlook
Going forward, the pace and focus of our capital allocation will reflect the new phase of our journey where the more forceful and fundamental transformation of Kinnevik into a growth investment firm is behind us. Capital deployment and financing rounds will be less of an impetus, and the main driver of our value development will be the performance of our larger businesses. Our portfolio is well funded, where more than 70 percent of our companies by value are profitable or have runways that enable them to reach profitability, and only 14 percent has a runway ending within the next 12 months. As such, the direction of our capital deployment is at our discretion.
7.9bn Kinnevik's net cash position (SEK)
Going forward, the pace and focus of our capital allocation will reflect the new phase of our journey where the more forceful and fundamental transformation of Kinnevik into a growth investment firm is behind us.

While we enjoy a robust net cash position of SEK 7.9bn, we must remain disciplined in our capital allocation, and drive further concentration into our highest-conviction companies. Over the next three years, we expect an average of SEK 3-5bn in net investments annually, depending on the opportunities we see in- and outside our portfolio. This, in combination with our well-funded portfolio, will enable us to execute on our strategy even if exit markets stay dormant over the next three years. The bar for new investments remains as high as ever, and we are intent on canvassing our markets for the best investment cases out there.
With a more concentrated portfolio, a strong cash position, and a clear strategy, I am convinced that we are entering 2024 well-positioned for long-term value creation.

We invested SEK 363m during the fourth quarter, bringing fullyear capital deployment to SEK 4.9bn. Investments in 2023 were focused on follow-on investments, as we sought to leverage our strong financial position in a less liquid and more risk-averse market. We invested a record-high SEK 1.5bn into secondary equity during 2023 in companies such as Spring Health, Pleo and TravelPerk, enabling us to increase our ownership stake and exposure without these companies raising unnecessary amounts of capital.
Divestments amounted to SEK 75m during the fourth quarter, pertaining to smaller long-tail investees and a SEK 20m reversal of a portion of our Q2 2023 investment into TravelPerk as part of the company's extension of their 2023 funding round. During 2023, we released a total of SEK 1.4bn, leading net investments to amount to SEK 3.5bn.
CAPITAL STRUCTURE
At the end of 2023, we held a net cash position of SEK 7.9bn (19 percent of Portfolio Value). This net cash position was mainly made up of SEK 12.0bn in cash and short-term investments, less 3.5bn in senior unsecured bonds with a remaining tenor exceeding 12 months (maturing in 2025, 2026 and 2028) and debt for unpaid investments in the amount of SEK 0.7m. During 2023, income from net cash amounted to SEK 0.4bn, net of interest paid on outstanding bonds.
CAPITAL DEPLOYMENT
Over 2024-26, Kinnevik expects SEK 3-5bn in average net investments per annum.
FINANCIAL TARGETS
Attractive Returns
Kinnevik's objective is to generate a long term total return to our shareholders in excess of our cost of capital. We aim to deliver an annual total shareholder return of 12-15 percent over the business cycle.
Low Leverage
Given the nature of Kinnevik's investments, our goal is to carry low leverage, not exceeding 10 percent of portfolio value.
Shareholder Remuneration Policy
Kinnevik generates shareholder returns primarily through capital appreciation, and will seek to return excess capital generated by its investments to shareholders through extra dividends.
ESG CASE STUDIES FROM OUR PORTFOLIO
Kinnevik offers our companies hands-on and bespoke ESG and impact support. Below are two examples where we have supported our companies to implement holistic and value-adding sustainability strategies, focused on what matters to them.
Improved business performance by integrating DEI across operations
Kinnevik first invested in Spring Health in 2021. We have been working with the company's management team since then to develop its people operations, including recruiting a strong Chief People Officer and Head of DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion). During 2022, the Head of DEI and leadership team developed a holistic DEI strategy aimed at attracting and retaining top talent, as well as to build a team and provider base which reflects the makeup of the company's member base. Spring Health has invested in several DEI initiatives throughout 2023, including significantly increasing the hiring of underrepresented talent through their 'Balanced Candidate Slate Program'. They also launched 'Sprout with Spring', a mentorship program to further equitable career development and enhance a sense of belonging for underrepresented talent.
The strong results of their efforts have been clearly evidenced by higher engagement scores and reduced attrition for underrepresented employees. This demonstrates the value of integrating DEI into a company's core business strategy.
Investments in compliance and governance yield targeted cost savings
Since Kinnevik first invested in Betterment in 2016, we have worked closely with the company to develop strong governance, risk, compliance, and control processes. Betterment has been highly engaged and forward-leaning with strong internal oversight from their Quality and Risk Management Committee and Audit Committee. In 2021, the company hired an industry veteran Chief Compliance Officer who has since built out a team of a dozen compliance professionals to create a best-inclass function for the digital investment space. The positive evolution and caliber of Betterment's internal controls and governance have been recognized by third-party assessments and regulators, which has helped the company avoid additional costs that might have been necessary for other companies. For example, Betterment saw a reduction of nearly 40% in its cyber insurance premium in 2023 in part due to the quality of its risk and compliance programs.
This outcome demonstrates that real business value can be created by proactively investing in and developing robust governance, risk, and compliance structures, particularly for companies in regulated industries such as finance and healthcare.

Consolidated Earnings for the Fourth Quarter
The change in fair value of financial assets including dividends received amounted to a loss of SEK 2,632m (loss of 4,976) for the fourth quarter of which a profit of SEK 875m (loss of 1,651) was related to listed holdings and a loss of SEK 3,507m (loss of 3,325) was related to unlisted holdings. See note 4 and 5 for further details.
Consolidated Earnings for the Year
The change in fair value of financial assets including dividends received amounted to a loss of SEK4,715m (loss of 19,318) for the year of which a profit of SEK 292m (loss of 10,876) was related to listed holdings and a loss of SEK 5,007m (loss of 8,442) was related to unlisted holdings. See note 4 and 5 for further details.
Of SEK 417m (371) in administration costs, SEK 84m (59) is attributable to Kinnevik's long-term incentive program (LTIP). The increased cost compared to the previous year is partly due to the larger scope of the program for 2023 and partly to the fact that the cost is dependent on the valuation at the time the incentive shares are transferred to the participants and taxation takes place.
For more information about Kinnevik's LTIP, refer to Note 16 for the Group in Kinnevik's Annual Report for 2022.
The increased financial net is mainly due to the higher interest rate situation for our net cash, partially offset by negative revaluations of market derivatives as a result of shorter remaining maturity.

NOTES FOR THE GROUP
Note 1 Accounting Principles
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the EU. This report was prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The Parent Company has prepared its interim report according to the Swedish Annual Accounts Act chapter 9, Interim report. Information in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting is provided in the notes as well as in other places in the interim report.
The accounting principles are the same as described in the 2022 Annual Report.
Note 2 Risk Management
Kinnevik's management of financial risks is centralized within Kinnevik's finance function and is conducted based on a Finance Policy established by the Board of Directors. The policy is reviewed continuously by the finance function and updated when appropriate in discussion with the Audit & Sustainability Committee and as approved by the Board of Directors. Kinnevik has a model for risk management that aims to identify, control and reduce risks. The output of the model is reported to Audit & Sustainability Committee and Board of Directors on a regular basis. Kinnevik is mainly exposed to financial risks in respect of:
- Valuation risk, in relation to negative changes in the value of the portfolio
- Liquidity and financing risk, in relation to increased cost of financing, and difficulties in refinancing maturing loans and facilities, ultimately leading to payment obligations not being met
- Foreign exchange rate risk, in relation to transaction and translation currency exposure
- Interest rate risk, having an adverse impact on financing costs
For a more detailed description of Kinnevik's risks and uncertainties, as well as risk management, refer to Note 17 for the Group in the 2022 Annual Report.
Note 3 Related Party Transactions
Kinnevik's related party transactions primarily consist of short-term bridge loans to the subset of Kinnevik's investee companies that are deemed related parties. Such bridge loans are included in financial assets accounted at fair value through profit and loss. Interest income from such loans is recognised as external interest income through profit and loss. Other income relates to the letting of office premises in Gamla Stan in Stockholm as well as re-invoicing of costs. Kinnevik also buys telephony services from its investee company Tele2. All transactions with related parties have taken place at arm's length basis on market conditions. In connection with acquisitions from and divestments to major shareholders of Kinnevik or directors or officers of the Kinnevik group, valuation reports are obtained from independent experts, in accordance with the Swedish Securities Council's statement 2019:25. In all agreements relating to goods and services prices are compared with up-to-date prices from independent suppliers in the market to ensure that all agreements are entered into on market terms.
During the third quarter, non-immaterial related party transactions encompassed a loan of EUR 20m to H2 Green Steel (which is deemed a related party due to Harald Mix both exercising control over the company at the time of the loan and being a board director in Kinnevik) and a loan of NOK 50m to Oda (which is deemed a related party due to being associated company of Kinnevik). Both loans were converted into shares during the fourth quarter. During the fourth quarter, non-immaterial related party transactions encompassed an additional loan of NOK 30m to Oda, which was converted into shares during the same quarter.
Other business dealings during 2023 of a non-immaterial nature involving associated and otherwise related companies include Kinnevik's EUR 31.25m investment into Aira during the third quarter, Kinnevik's SEK 187m investment into Mathem during the second quarter, Kinnevik's NOK 23m and 110m investments into Oda during the first and fourth quarter, respectively, and Kinnevik's EUR 16m investment into H2 Green Steel in the fourth quarter forming part of our commitment to invest EUR 75m into the company as announced on 7 September 2023.
Note 4 Financial Assets Accounted at Fair Value Through Profit & Loss
OUR FRAMEWORK AND PRINCIPLES
In assessing the fair value of our unlisted investments, we adhere to IFRS 13 and the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines. Valuation methods primarily center around revenue, GMV, and profit multiples, with due consideration to differences in size, growth, profitability and cost of equity capital. We also consider the strength of a company's financial position, cash runway, and its funding environment. Valuations in recent transactions are not applied as a valuation method, but typically provides important points of reference. When applicable, consideration is taken to preferential rights such as liquidation preferences to proceeds in a sale or listing of a business.
The valuation process is led by Kinnevik's CFO, independently from the investment team. Accuracy and reliability of financial information is ensured through continuous contacts with investee management teams and regular reviews of their financial and operational reporting. The valuations are approved by the CEO after which a proposal is presented and discussed with the Audit & Sustainability Committee and Kinnevik's external auditors. After their scrutiny and potential adjustments, the valuations are approved by the Audit & Sustainability Committee and included in Kinnevik's financial reports.
When establishing the fair value of other financial instruments, methods assumed to provide the best estimation of fair value are used. For assets and liabilities maturing within one year, a nominal value adjusted for interest payments is assumed to provide a good approximation of fair value.
Information in this note is provided per class of financial instruments that are valued at fair value in the balance sheet, distributed per the 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.

Valuation Reassessments to NAV Impact % Q/Q Change

ENDING A CHALLENGING YEAR OF ADJUSTED VALUATION LEVELS
2023 was another challenging year for venture and growth capital markets. Median funding round valuation were 40 percent lower than the case was at peak pandemic exuberance. The share of "down rounds" – funding rounds at a lower valuation than the previous one – quadrupled relative to during the pandemic. "Bridge rounds" – short-term debt-like financing to "bridge" to more favorable funding circumstances or an exit – tripled. Investor-friendly investment terms obscuring companies' true enterprise values also became more prevalent.
The large amounts of capital raised by venture and growth businesses during the pandemic allows many companies to postpone their repricing to current economic circumstances, or in some cases their demise. Our quarterly valuation reassessments have enabled us to provide a consistent mark-to-market view of our portfolio in a private capital market becoming less transparent and more stagnant.
We acknowledge that the 2022-23 correction, and several of our investees failing to meet expectations, has not only caused our assessed valuations to decline during the year. It has also compounded with our challenges in sharing confidential investee financial information and caused uncertainty around many of our valuation levels. In this quarter, and through 2024, our ambition is to help alleviate this uncertainty. In preparing our valuation assessments this quarter, we have scrutinized and revised down investee company budgets and plans, and we have contracted valuation multiples despite overall positive public equity markets. We have also made larger downward revisions in carrying values of smaller investments in companies where our long-term conviction lacks strength. In 2024, we hope to take further steps in increasing transparency around our investees' performance and our valuation assessments.
OPERATING PERFORMANCE & FINANCIAL RESILIENCE
Relative to our expectations at the beginning of the year our investees missed on revenue by 9 percent and on EBITDA margins by 6pp in 2023. These misses are lower than what was the case in a dramatic 2022 during which many of our businesses pivoted hard away from growth and towards profitability improvements. On average, the private portfolio grew revenues by over 60 percent in 2023, weighed down by sluggish e-commerce. Looking into 2024, in this quarter we have taken down our expectations on investee growth rates by 7pp on average, well below each of our companies' own budgets and plans. We expect growth to continue to be weighed down by e-Commerce in 2024 until the underlying retail market stabilizes and improves, and expect the private portfolio to grow by 40 percent on average before taking into consideration our continued efforts to concentrate the portfolio on our most long-term promising companies.
The financial position of this fast-growing portfolio remains robust. On the basis of our revised expectations, half of the private portfolio by value is expected to reach EBITDA profitability in 2024 on a full-year or end-ofyear run-rate basis. An additional 24 percent are funded to break-even with a buffer. However, companies representing 14 percent of our private portfolio by value are likely to raise new capital during 2024. Upcoming funding needs are to be expected considering the venture and growth character of our portfolio. We see high return potential in participating in the majority of these upcoming funding events. In others, we will seek to help the company solve their financing need through other means and from other sources than our balance sheet.
MULTIPLES, CURRENCIES, PREFERENCES & TRANSACTIONS
Multiples expanded by 8 percent on average in our private portfolio's peer universe in Q4, overwhelmingly during the second half of the quarter. Our valuations, however, were based on multiples contracting by 7 percent. This spread stems mainly from three factors. Firstly, our investees concluded a number of transactions during Q4 at valuations close to our assessed valuations in the previous quarter. This underpins unchanged quarter-on-quarter valuations despite public comparables trading up significantly over the last months. Implied multiples therefore contract when these investees continue to grow and improve profitability with an unchanged valuation. Secondly, we are recalibrating our valuation multiples in value-based care. To widen the margin of safety to hypothetical public market valuation levels, we have decreased our reliance on the indications from significant premiums ascribed to the formerly

Note: All averages are value-weighted unless stated otherwise.
public value-base care provider companies that were all delisted through take-over offers in 2023. Thirdly, we have aimed to decrease valuation multiples in general across all our valuation assessments in the portfolio.
Adding to more careful investee expectations and multiple contraction relative to public comparables, we have sought to make large write-downs or write-offs in our portfolio's long-tail of companies where our conviction has come down. In this quarter, that encompasses a full write-off of Monese, a significant write-down of Omnipresent, and other large percentage downward valuation revisions and write-offs of smaller investments.
The aggregate effect of liquidation preferences amounted to SEK 1.9bn at the end of 2023, down 0.7bn from Q3 and down 1.3bn during the year. This aggregate impact now corresponds to 7 percent of the fair value of our unlisted portfolio, down from 11 percent at the beginning of the year. We expect this effect to decrease at a similar magnitude in 2024, making for less ambiguous and more dynamic fair values.
Currencies had a significant negative effect on fair values in Q4. The US dollar depreciated by 7 percent and the Euro depreciated by 3 percent. In aggregate, currencies had a negative SEK 1.7bn impact on our fair values in the quarter.
In Q4, we saw transactions in 22 percent of the private portfolio by value at valuations on average in line with our Q3 valuations. During the 2023 full-year, we saw transactions in almost 50 percent of the private portfolio by value at valuations that on average were in line with the valuations in each of these transactions' respective preceding quarter. This validates our mark-to-market approach to fair value assessments.
IN SUMMARY
Entering 2024 with investee expectations commensurate to their performance or underperformance of the past, lower valuation multiples than we started 2023 with, and a large share of carrying values validated by recent transactions. We look forward to increasing the transparency of our valuation assessments in 2024, and to help alleviate past uncertainties.

VALUE-BASED CARE
Value-Based Care consists of care delivery companies that take risk on patient health outcomes and are rewarded if they keep their patients healthy and out of the hospital. This stands in contrast to care delivery businesses that charge patients and payers on a fee-for-service basis.
Publicly listed care companies employing a value-based model have historically been valued at premiums to fee-for-service businesses. However, these companies – One Medical (ONEM), Oak Street Health (OSH), and Signify (SGFY) - were all taken private through takeover offers during 2023. Multiples these companies traded at are outlined in the scatter chart on the right-hand side. We are mindful of the short expiration date of valuation levels in this market and have therefore consistently decreased our multiples through 2023 relative to the development of more traditional benchmarks. Cityblock and VillageMD are today valued largely in line with what their growth and margins suggest when benchmarking them against more traditional healthcare businesses such as United Health (UNH) and Humana (HUM), and enabler businesses such as Agilon (AGL) and Privia (PRVA).
During 2023, Cityblock has improved margins by dedicating its operations to markets where its care model is proving the strongest health outcomes and financial results. This has been successful, but has weighed on growth. In 2024 we expect them to be able to grow revenues by around 40 percent on a like-for-like basis with EBITDA margins trending towards break-even towards the turn of 2024. Cityblock is fully funded with the company raising nearly USD 600m in 2021. Our valuation comes down in this quarter due to further reductions of its footprint, focusing operations on more profitable markets where the company's care model has proven the most effective. The aforementioned caution to the lack of public value-based care providers also weighs on our valuation slightly.
In its fiscal Q1 2024, Walgreens Boots Alliance ("WBA") reported that VillageMD had grown revenues by 14% through same clinic growth and additional full-risk lives. WBA also reconfirmed its past guidance of its healthcare segment reaching EBITDA break-even at the midpoint of its guidance for their 2024 fiscal year. In the quarter, we have revised our valuation downwards to reflect our lack of influence over the company under WBA's controlling shareholding and due to the aforementioned caution on multiples.

VIRTUAL CARE
Our Virtual Care businesses deliver specialized care services through virtual channels, and leverage technology such as AI to improve the care outcomes for their users. Our previous investee company Livongo pioneered the model, and our current investee companies are disrupting the virtual care incumbents such as Teladoc (TDOC) and Amwell (AMWL). Our businesses are selling to employers and insurers and have a high share of recurring revenues, but as healthcare companies they require higher costs for servicing the end-user of their products than business software may do. The appropriate public market benchmark for valuing our virtual care businesses is therefore high-growth SaaS businesses and healthcare technology businesses that share our investments' structurally lower gross margins in the 50-70 percent area.
Our SaaS and healthcare technology benchmarks saw their forward revenue multiples increase by 15 percent and 11 percent during the quarter, respectively. During 2023, the spread in valuation levels between the two groups has grown with SaaS companies' forward revenue multiples increasing almost 40 percent, and healthcare technology peers' multiples coming down by a mid-single digit percent, driven primarily by growth and profit downgrades in a handful of healthcare businesses. In reflecting the development of the benchmarks in our valuation assessment of Spring Health, we have expanded our forward-looking revenue multiple by a more careful 3 percent in the quarter and have contracted our valuation multiple over 2023 overall. Continued strong growth and progress on the path to profitability, along with the minor expansion in revenue multiple in the quarter, render an increase in our valuation of 13 percent in Q4. Spring Health is funded to break-even under its current plan and on track to reach cash flow profitability in late 2024 into early 2025. Since our investment in late 2021, the company has grown revenues by 6x on an NTM basis and 14x on an LTM basis. On an NTM gross profit multiple basis, reflecting Spring Health's structurally lower gross margins, our valuation marks the business in line with average SaaS peer levels.

PLATFORMS & MARKETPLACES
Our Platform & Marketplaces businesses span online grocers with gross margins in the 30s, to marketplaces with gross margins in the 60-70s. We therefore benchmark our investments against bespoke peer sets. However, these investments all share exposure to consumer spend and e-commerce. These areas and our investees faced significant growth headwinds in 2023, spanning Mathem shrinking in topline to Omio growing at a continued high rate. We expect headwinds to persist in 2024, and our financial projections reflect this. As a result, most of our Platform & Marketplaces investees' share of our private portfolio has declined meaningfully during 2023.
The challenging environment continues to bear an impact on Instabee. Growth in 2023 underperformed expectations due to volume declines compounding with price-sensitive customers opting for cheaper, less convenient delivery solutions. This in turn impacted profitability negatively, as the company failed to reach envisaged economies of scale at the expected speed. We benchmark our valuation against a set of businesses spanning last-mile logistics operator InPost (INPST.AS), food delivery marketplace DoorDash (DASH) and e-commerce enabler Shopify (SHOP). In the quarter, we have written down our valuation by 27 percent driven by calibrations against the peer set when relating valuation levels to conservative expectatoins on near-term growth and profitability. Our valuation corresponds to a 25 percent discount on multiple to InPost, deepening to 40 percent at less conservative financial expectations. The fair value of our total investment decreases in lower percentages as our SEK 273m convertible investment is not affected by this underlying write-down.
Job&Talent is benchmarked against job platforms Fiverr (FVRR) and Upwork (UPWK), and marketplaces such as Airbnb (ABNB) and Uber (UBER). In the quarter, our fair value declines primarily due to dollar and euro depreciation.
During the quarter, we supported the merger of Oda and Mathem. The merger provides an improved financial and operational outlook relative to the stand-alone options. We value the combined company some 10 percent below the previous quarter's combined valuations due primarily to peer trading, but the fair value of our shareholding decreases by 35 percent due to currency depreciation and expected dilutive effects of the merger.

SOFTWARE
Our Software businesses are benchmarked against three sets of peers. First, high-growth SaaS companies whose growth profile comes closest to resembling those of our investees. Constituents can differ over time but typically include companies such as Snowflake (SNOW), CrowdStrike (CS), SentinelOne (S), and Cloudflare (NET). Second, companies with a high share of revenue from transactional or usage-based activities rather than strictly recurring streams – and therefore with gross margins similar to many of our investees. These include Shopify (SHOP) and Bill.com (BILL). Finally, we consider vertical-specific peers. These include Veeva (VEEV) and Doximity (DOCS) for Cedar, and Toast (TOST) for Mews.
Growth remains the key driver of multiple levels (typically 1-3x as important as profitability for healthy businesses), and our businesses are valued at or below what is suggested by the correlation between growth and multiples in the public market SaaS universe. Our assessed multiples are also adjusted in consideration of differences in current and expected future gross margins (and thereby also long-term profitability potential), financial strength (length of runway), and the percentage share of recurring revenues (versus more transaction-based revenue).
Our valuation of Cedar is virtually flat in the quarter, as a result of continued growth offset by us contracting our valuation multiple to reflect our overall ambition of an increased conservativeness in valuation levels.
Pleo is growing 2-3x faster than its listed SaaS benchmarks at aboveaverage gross margins. The profitability improvement measures that have been initiated over the past year have shown results with significant margin improvements, paving a clear path to EBITDA profitability in the second half of 2025. With the significant capital raised in 2021, this path is fully funded. During the quarter we and other existing investors acquired a small amount of secondary shares at a customary discount to our previous quarter's valuation. Our fair value in SEK terms remains virtually flat in the quarter considering the corroborating nature of the transaction.
Our valuation of TravelPerk is unchanged in the quarter, calibrated to the recent extension of the funding round in which we invested already in the second quarter of 2023. Our valuation, and this funding round, values the business at 8x NTM revenues. The company continues to perform, growing revenues by 70 percent and gross profit by 90 percent during 2023.

CONSUMER FINANCE
Our Consumer Finance businesses are benchmarked against different but in part overlapping public market benchmarks, reflecting their differences and similarities in business models.
Betterment is primarily benchmarked against digital banks and wealth managers such as Avanza (AZA.ST) and Nordnet (SAVE.ST), as well as the broader public SaaS company universe considering the recurring revenue characteristics of its fee-based assets under management ("AUM") model. AUM has increased materially during 2023 and now exceeds USD 44bn, in part driven by significant growth in its cash deposit product. An underlying write-up due to the company's overperformance and positive market movements is muted by the effect of liquidation preferences this quarter.
Lunar is benchmarked against a mix of the aforementioned digital banks and wealth managers with regards to its financial services revenue, and consumer subscription businesses such as Netflix (NFLX) and Match Group (MTCH) as well as a range of B2B SaaS businesses with regards to its subscription revenue considering the similarities in business model (albeit with differences in offerings and consumer markets). Lunar has benefited from a higher interest rate environment and has beaten expectations after our significant downward revision in late 2022. In the quarter, our fair value is up around 20 percent, driven by operating performance and expanding market multiples. Our valuation is in line with that of a funding round in the quarter.
In this quarter, we have written off the entire carrying value of our investment in Monese. While there is still significant value in the company, the nature of our participation in its future is uncertain. This is what underpins our decision to write off our investment in full.

Kinnevik currently has no bank loans outstanding, and its bank facilities when drawn carry variable interest rates. Debt capital market financing typically consist of commercial paper and senior unsecured bonds. Commercial paper may be issued with a maximum tenor of 12 months under Kinnevik's SEK 5bn commercial paper program, and senior unsecured bonds may be issued with a minimum tenor of 12 months under Kinnevik's SEK 6bn medium-term note program.
In order to hedge interest rate risks, Kinnevik has entered into a number of interest rate swap agreements whereby it pays a fixed annual interest rate also on bonds with a floating rate coupon. The derivatives had a positive market value of SEK 158m at the end of the quarter and are marked to market based on discounted cash flows with observable market data. The derivatives are covered by ISDA agreement.
As at 31 December 2023, the average interest rate for outstanding senior unsecured bonds amounted to 1.3 percent and the weighted average remaining tenor for all Kinnevik's credit facilities amounted to 2.9 years. The carrying amount of the liabilities is a reasonable approximation of fair value as they bear variable interest rates.

REVIEW REPORT Introduction
We have reviewed the interim report for Kinnevik AB for the period 1 January - 31 December 2023. The Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
Scope of Review
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements (ISRE) 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has a different focus and is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with ISA and other generally accepted auditing practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not, in all material respects, prepared for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.
