TOTAL RETURN

During the last 30 years, the Kinnevik share has generated an average total return of 21% annually as a result of rising share prices and dividends, including the value of subscription offers. During the past five years, the corresponding figure is 46%. For 2007 the total return was 29%. The calculation of the total return is based on the assumption that shareholders retained their allotment of shares in Tele2 AB ("Tele2"), Modern Times Group MTG AB ("MTG"), Metro International S.A. ("Metro"), Transcom WorldWide S.A. ("Transcom") and Invik & Co. AB.

BUSINESS AREA STRUCTURE

From the second quarter of 2007, Kinnevik reports its operations in the following three comprehensive business areas:

Major Unlisted Holdings, which comprises Korsnäs.

Major Listed Holdings, which comprises Millicom International Cellular S.A. ("Millicom"), Tele2, MTG, Metro and Transcom.

New Ventures, which are described in the table on page 9 and the ensuing text.

The Parent company and other group companies are reported under Parent Company and Other.

For comments on the result for the period, refer to each business area.

THE GROUP'S CASH FLOW AND INVESTMENTS

The Group's cash flow from current operations excluding change in working capital amounted to SEK 1,130 million (1,078) for the year. This year's cash flow from operations was negatively affected by SEK 155 million pertaining to payments for provisions made in previous years. Changes in working capital amounted to a negative of SEK 252 million (positive 455). Of the year's negative changes, SEK 231 million represents changes in inventories, which is primarily explained by higher level of purchase of felling rights and pulpwood.

THE GROUP'S FINANCIAL POSITION

The Group's available liquidity, including short-term investments and available credit facilities, totalled SEK 2,481 million at 31 December 2007 and SEK 929 million at 31 December 2006.

The Group's interest-bearing net debt amounted to SEK 9,205 million at 31 December 2007 and SEK 9,856 million at 31 December 2006. Of the total net debt at 31 December 2007, SEK 6,534 million pertained to external net debt within Korsnäs or with shares in Korsnäs as collateral, and SEK 2,753 million of the net debt was pledged by shares within Major Listed Holdings.

The net debt in relation to the market value of assets within Major Unlisted Holdings and Major Listed Holdings has developed according to the charts below.

(SEK million)

All loans have fixed interest terms of no longer than three months and carry an interest rate according to Stibor or similar base rate and an average margin of 0.6%. Of the Group's interest expenses and other financial costs of SEK 483 million (354), interest expenses amounted to SEK 458 million (322) and exchange rate differences was a negative SEK 10 million (negative 3). This means that the average interest rate for the year was 4.6% (3.5%) (calculated as interest expense in relation to average interest-bearing liabilities). The higher interest costs were primarily due to increased borrowing in connection with the acquisition of Frövi on 1 June 2006 and the higher level of interest rates.

At 31 December, the average remaining duration for all credit facilities amounted to 3.2 years. The Group's borrowing is primarily arranged in SEK. On an annual basis, the net flow in foreign currencies is a net inflow of about SEK 1,200 million, comprised mainly of Korsnäs' sales in Euro.

MAJOR UNLISTED HOLDINGS – KORSNÄS

Korsnäs and its subsidiaries conduct operations in the production of virgin fiber-based packaging material mainly for consumer products at the two mills in Gävle and Frövi. Korsnäs also owns 5% of the shares in Bergvik Skog.

Korsnäs revenue and result for the year and for the fourth quarter amounted to:

1) 2006 pro forma including Frövi, excluding restructuring costs of SEK 183 million in Q4.

Korsnäs Industrial

The healthy demand for Korsnäs products that characterized 2006 continued also in 2007. Delivery volumes for paper, pulp and board products rose for the full year by 3.5% to 1,073 thousand tons compared with a year earlier. Excluding fluff pulp (production was discontinued in April 2006), the increase in sales of remaining product areas was 5.1%.

Korsnäs' deliveries of liquid packaging board rose during 2007 and accounted for 69% of the total sales volume for the year. Korsnäs has multi-year contracts with a number of customers covering delivery of liquid packaging board. Prices have been stable.

Korsnäs' deliveries of White Top Liner declined as planned during the year since deliveries outside Europe, in principle, were discontinued due to the low profitability compared with the rest of the product range. Korsnäs' deliveries to the main markets in Europe represent approximately 15% of Korsnäs' total sales volume. As a result of the favorable demand, it was possible to raise prices during the year.

Competition within Cartonboard has increased in recent times, mainly as a result of imports from such low-cost countries as Brazil and Chile, the weakened US dollar and increased production capacity, both in and outside Europe. Despite this intensified competition, Korsnäs succeeded in increasing its deliveries of Cartonboard by 18% during 2007 compared with 2006 and the product area now represents about 10% of total sales volume. Growth was primarily driven by the newly introduced grade Frövi White. Prices were increased for all Cartonboard products during 2007.

The market situation for sack and kraft paper in Europe remained strong during the year. It was possible to increase prices in both the sack and kraft paper areas. During the year, Korsnäs discontinued the production of brown paper to focus entirely on white paper.

Total production during the year amounted to 1,069 thousand tons, which is 1.1% more than in 2006 (an increase of 2.0%, if fluff pulp, which was discontinued in 2006, is excluded). This represents a record for board and paper production both in Gävle, with total production of 677 thousand tons, and in Frövi, with total production of 392 thousand tons. The production record for the entire year was achieved despite certain disruptions in production during the fourth quarter. A number of minor production disruptions, which were partly due to start-up problems after the annual maintenance shutdown, resulted in a production loss of 15- 20 thousand tons compared to budget. Following the disruptions, the routines have been reviewed in order to, if possible, avoid similar problems in the future.

The earnings improvement program initiated in conjunction with the acquisition of Frövi, with the aim of realizing synergy effects between the two mills in Gävle and Frövi, within production, purchasing and other support functions, among other areas, has proceeded during the year. During the course of this work, Korsnäs has increased its ambitions and revised its goals for earnings improvements, which are now more than SEK 200 million in full-year effect for 2008 and are expected to increase further in 2009. The earnings improvement program has had a positive impact on results in 2007 of about SEK 95 million.

Korsnäs Industrial's revenues amounted to SEK 6,625 million, an increase of 4% compared with pro forma SEK 6,392 million in 2006. The operating profit amounted to SEK 745 million, compared with pro forma SEK 821 million for 2006. The profit for full-year 2007 includes positive one-off items of approximately SEK 60 million. Costs for pulpwood and external pulp, which have increased and now represent about 40% of the operating costs excluding depreciation for full-year 2007, had a negative impact on revenue of approximately SEK 350 million compared with pro forma 2006.

The operating result for the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 2 million (53). The operating result in the fourth quarter include positive one-off items of about SEK 25 million. The earnings decline compared with a year earlier is attributable primarily to the production disturbances described above and higher prices for pulpwood. Similar to the preceding year, earnings in the fourth quarter were also affected by maintenance costs of about SEK 100 million in conjunction with the planned stops in Gävle and Frövi, as well as the effect of lower production due to the maintenance stop.

The price increases for pulpwood, as well as higher prices for energy, are expected to continue to adversely affect earnings next year. Announced price increases on parts of the product range are not expected to compensate for higher prices on raw materials. However, it is anticipated that continued positive effects of the ongoing earnings enhancement program will offset part of the increase in raw material prices, but with current visibility of wood prices margins will be negatively affected during 2008.

Korsnäs Forestry

Timber prices increased during 2007 to record-high levels. This applies mainly to the Baltic States and Russia, but the price levels are also high in Sweden. Korsnäs' inventories of hardwood and softwood fiber at year-end are normal.

Korsnäs Forestry's revenues during the year amounted to SEK 2,207 million (1,817), of which internal sales to Korsnäs Industrial totaled SEK 1,313 million (1,075). Operating profit was SEK 91 million (44). The improved operating profit was partly attributable to the capital gain of SEK 26 million pertaining to the sale of land, and partly attributable to the higher market prices for felling rights and timber and is to a certain extent a temporary effect due to sales from stock that was purchased at earlier applicable prices.

MAJOR LISTED HOLDINGS

The market value of the Group's securities in remaining Major Listed Holdings increased by 40% during the year, corresponding to SEK 14,606 million, including dividends received. On 31 December 2007, the market value of the Major Listed Holdings was SEK 50,761 million (SEK 36,459 million 31 December 2006). On 18 February 2008 the market value of the Major Listed Holdings was SEK 45,805 million, corresponding to a decrease of SEK 4,956 million since beginning of the year in a globally weak stock market. The changes in value are shown in the consolidated income statement; refer to table on page 20 for split per holding.

On 26 April, Kinnevik signed an agreement to sell all its shares in Invik & Co. AB ("Invik") for a total consideration of SEK 1,089 million, corresponding to SEK 253 for each class A share and SEK 230 for each class B share. The change in market value of the sold shares in Invik was SEK 407 million during 2007.

In order to ensure that the resources of Metro are invested in the most efficient way the Board of Directors conducted a strategic review in the autumn of 2007. As a step in the strategic refocusing process, Metro announced in December that it had sold 60% of its Czech operation to MAFRA, the leading publishing group in the Czech Republic.

The change in fair value of financial assets totalled SEK 702 million (27) where SEK 717 million (0) related to Black Earth Farming and a negative amount of SEK 15 million (positive 27) related to Kontakt East.

Rolnyvik

A long and cold but stable winter followed by a late, but warm and dry spring, did not create the best conditions for a good harvest. When the summer became the warmest and driest in a long time and the autumn was rainy, the result was a low harvest but with generally good to excellent quality. Due to the generally low harvests, the demand for the company's products was favorable. Low inventories and rising demand in Poland as well as in the rest of Europe resulted in rapidly rising prices. Therefore, despite the negative production factors, Rolnyvik reported its best operating profit, SEK 16 million (4), since the farms were acquired in 2001/2002. The company's sales amounted to SEK 64 million (53).

Black Earth Farming

Black Earth Farming continued to develop favorably during 2007. At year-end, the company controlled 308,000 hectares of arable land, an increase of 188,000 hectares during 2007. The company is continuing to acquire land, since the price level is still considered attractive. Continuing acquisitions will be concentrated to areas in which the company is already represented.

During 2007, 52,000 hectares were harvested by the company, mainly wheat, barley and oil-yielding plants. During the autumn, 60,000 hectares of wheat and oil-yielding plants were sown for harvest next year. In addition, a further 90,000 hectares of land were prepared to be sown in 2008.

During the year, Kinnevik, through participation in new issues in September and December and purchases on the market, invested an additional SEK 278 million in Black Earth Farming. Consequently, the amount invested totals SEK 493 million.

Black Earth Farming was listed on 28 December 2007 on First North in Sweden. In conjunction with the listing, the company effected a new issue of SEK 1,680 million at a subscription price of SEK 50 per share. The issue, which was heavily oversubscribed, provided the company about 5,000 new owners and the capital for continued rapid growth. The market value of Kinnevik's holding of shares in Black Earth Farming amounted to SEK 1,208 million at 31 December 2007. At 18 February 2008 the market value of Kinnevik's holding amounted to SEK 1,528 million.

Sia Latgran

Pellets production by the Latvian company, Sia Latgran, amounted to 70,000 tons, which is 6% higher than in 2006. Raw materials costs rose sharply during the beginning of the year, but during the latter part of the year this tendency weakened due to a rapid drop in the business climate for construction. The market for pellets is characterized by continued growing demand. However, spot prices declined during the year due to a weak US dollar resulting in increasing import from North America to Europe.

A second pellet plant is being built at a total investment of approximately SEK 120 million. The new plant will have an annual production capacity of approximately 110,000 tons. The plant is scheduled to start operations in March 2008.

Sia Latgran's total revenues during the year amounted to SEK 82 million (44) and operating profit was SEK 9 million (10).

Relevant Traffic

Relevant Traffic is a European full-service company within search marketing. The company has about 75 employees in its offices in Sweden, France, Germany, Spain, the UK, Norway and Denmark. Customers comprise e-trading companies, banks, travel companies and niche companies that wish to be available when someone seeks their services and products in search engines or price comparison sites. Relevant Traffic's business concept is to maximize its customers' yield on implemented marketing by providing relevant traffic, which includes search engines and price comparison services. The company's proprietary technical platform and international presence, combined with personnel that are fluent in most European languages, provide the company international competitiveness, which is reflected in the fast growth of the company.

Relevant Traffic reported revenue of SEK 114 million (57) during the first eight months of the split financial year May 2007-April 2008.

Kontakt East

Kontakt East is a Swedish holding company that invests in companies active in search and guidance media in Russia and neighboring markets.

In August, Kontakt East acquired all outstanding shares in YPI Yellow Pages Russia ("Yell.ru") for a total purchase consideration of approximately USD 18 million in cash and new share issues. The acquisition strengthened Kontakt East's existing operations within search services in Russia and today, the company is the leading player within guidance media in Russia.

At the beginning of October, Kontakt East launched its e-trade service through the www.avito.ru website, which offers a broad range of classified advertisements and internet-based auctions. Through the integration of www.avito.ru with current search and catalog services online, Kontakt East will be able to offer Russian companies and consumers completely new services, which will facilitate the sale of products and services on the Internet. The launch of Avito.ru has been successful and Avito.ru is the fastest growing marketplace on the Internet in Russia.

During the autumn, Kontakt East concluded a longterm agreement with SUP, a leading Russian media company, whose operations include LiveJournal – Russia's largest blog platform and one of the ten largest sites in Russia. The cooperation between the two companies involves Kontakt East's new, Internet-based marketplace Avito.ru and LiveJournal.ru. As a result of the agreement, Avito becomes an integrated segment of LiveJournal.ru and will function as LiveJournal's buy and sell market.

In December, Kontakt East carried out a new issue that generated proceeds of SEK 102 million for the company. Kontakt East's shares are listed on the First North Exchange in Sweden. During the year, Kinnevik, through participation in the new issue and purchases on the market, invested an additional SEK 35 million in Kontakt East. The market value of Kinnevik's holdings in Kontakt East amounted to SEK 81 million on 31 December 2007. At 18 February 2008 the market value of Kinnevik's holding amounted to SEK 79 million.

Gateway TV

In May, Kinnevik invested USD 13 million in Gateway TV, a company operating within pay-TV in Sub-Saharan Africa. Gateway TV owns a number of broadcasting rights including the English Premiership League. The company is launching its satellite based Pay-TV service to a large number of Sub-Saharan markets and was at the end of 2007 represented in eight countries. The market potential for a competitively priced TV service is assessed as highly favorable and the subscriber growth is fast although as yet at low levels.

Bayport

During the second half of the year, Kinnevik invested USD 15 million in the African company Bayport. The investment consists of a combination of loan and warrants.

Bayport offers micro credits and financial services in Ghana, Uganda, Zambia and Tanzania. Ghana and Zambia are the largest markets, while Tanzania is showing rapid growth. Bayport was founded in 2002 and has, with profitability, grown into a leading African micro credit company. The product portfolio is being continually expanded, primarily with loans of a longer duration. The loans are applied mainly to finance large one-off expenditures such as school fees, investments in agriculture or to start a small company.

PARENT COMPANY AND OTHER

The administration costs within the Parent Company and the Group's other companies amounted to a net expense of SEK 44 million (expense of 62) after invoicing for services performed. Other operating income includes a gain on the sale of the Swedish farm Ullevi (Agrovik AB) of SEK 70 million.

RISK 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 Group's operational risks are primarily evaluated and managed within the particular business area and then reported to the Kinnevik Board.

The Group has established a model for risk management, the aims of which are 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's wholly owned subsidiary Korsnäs accounts for most of the operational risks and they are mainly related to customers and suppliers and the risk for a major accidents in the production plants.

Kinnevik is exposed to financial risks mainly in respect of changes in the value of the stock portfolio, changes in market interest rates, exchange rate risks and liquidity and refinancing risks.

The group is also exposed to political risks since the companies Kinnevik has invested in have a substantial part of their operations in emerging markets such as Latin America, Africa and Russia.

For a more detailed description of the company's risks and risk management, refer to the Board of Directors' report and Note 30 of the 2006 Annual Report.

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 accounting principles applied in this report are the same as those described in the 2006 Annual Report with the exception that unlisted associated companies within the New Ventures business area from 2007 are reported at fair value instead of previously in accordance with the equity method. This is a result of changed business structure and to provide a more accurate view of the value of New Ventures. A change in accounting principles for 2006 would have had a marginal effect on earnings, why comparable figures for 2006 have not been changed.

DIVIDEND

The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting decide on a cash dividend of SEK 2.00 (1.70) per share.

The Board also proposes that the Annual General Meeting to be held on 15 May decide on a continued mandate to repurchase a maximum of 10% of the Company's own shares. A mandate to repurchase shares gives the Board flexibility to continuously decide on changes to the capital structure during the year.

KINNEVIK'S ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2008

The 2008 Annual General Meeting will be held on Thursday 15 May 2008 at 9:30 a.m. at the Rival Hotel, Mariatorget 3 in Stockholm.

EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE REPORTING PERIOD

In January 2008, Korsnäs, which previously owned 41% of the shares in Karskär Energi AB, reached an agreement to acquire the remaining 59% from E.ON Sverige AB for a consideration of SEK 200 million. The transaction covers a combined heating and power plant that has existed at the Korsnäs industrial area in Gävle since 1971. Karskär Energi produces 350 GWh of electricity annually and as a result of the acquisition Korsnäs will in the future produce 38% of the annual electricity consumption internally at the plants in Gävle and Frövi.

REVIEW REPORT

We have reviewed the year-end report of Investment AB Kinnevik (publ) for the period 1 January to 31 December 2007. It is the Board of Directors and the CEO who are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this year-end report with application of the rules for interim financial reporting in IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

We conducted our review in accordance with Standard on Review Engagements SÖG 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 is substantially less in scope compared to an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing in Sweden RS 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. Accordingly, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not constitute the same level of assurance as a conclusion based on an audit.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the year-end report is not prepared, in all material respects, 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.
