Chief executive's review
Dear shareholders,
I am proud to address you as the new CEO of Kinnevik, a position I assumed on 1 January. It feels like coming home, having spent fve years at the start of my career at Tele2. The business acumen, entrepreneurial spirit and culture in the Kinnevik group is as strong as ever and I look forward to developing Kinnevik's business and culture as CEO.
KInneVIK's FOurTH QuarTer resulTs
Kinnevik's NAV increased by 6% to SEK 90.6bn, or SEK 329 per share, in the fourth quarter, driven mainly by strong development in our large listed assets, Zalando and Tele2. The value of our private assets increased slightly in the quarter to SEK 11.7bn principally from a revaluation following a new funding round in BIMA. On 8 February, Kinnevik's NAV had increased by SEK 0.5bn to SEK 91.1bn, or SEK 331 per share.
POrTFOlIO COMPany HIGHlIGHTs
TMT is a sector in rapid change, with ever increasing customer demands and global convergence trends. As an active owner who continuously evaluates strategic options for our companies, we are excited to support two industrydefning transactions announced by our Nordic TMT companies in the frst quarter of 2018. One of our key objectives for 2017 was to grow and protect value in our large listed assets, I believe these transactions will achieve just that.
On 10 January 2018, Tele2 and Com Hem announced that their Boards of Directors has agreed to combine the two companies' operations. Both consumers and shareholders are set to gain as Tele2 and Com Hem create a leading integrated connectivity provider with an award-winning mobile network, the fastest fxed network and the widest range of content in the market.
On 1 February 2018, MTG announced it has agreed to combine its Nordic Entertainment and MTG Studios businesses with TDC Group, creating Europe's frst fully convergent media and communications provider, and allowing MTG to focus on its global digital entertainment verticals. Through this transaction, Kinnevik is expected to become a 5.6% shareholder in TDC Group.
I would like to highlight Zalando's performance in 2017. The company presented preliminary numbers in January 2018, reporting more than 23% growth for the year and a solid proftability with an approximate 4.8% EBIT margin. This was achieved whilst continuing to invest in the customer experience, launching a new fulflment centre outside of Stockholm, introducing Zalando fulflment solutions which allows partners to employ Zalando's logistics expertise and network, and launching a new beauty category.
In our private portfolio, the microinsurance company BIMA, co-founded by Kinnevik, attracted the global insurance company Allianz as a new strategic partner in a funding round completed in end of 2017. Allianz' knowledge in insurance markets coupled with BIMA's focus on mobile technology to reach the mass-markets will enable BIMA to continue developing its product portfolio across emerging markets.
FInanCIal POsITIOn and sHareHOlder reMuneraTIOn
Kinnevik ended the year with a strong fnancial position with net debt of SEK 1.1bn, corresponding to a leverage of 1%. For the fscal year 2017, Kinnevik's Board of Directors recommends a dividend of SEK 8.25 per share, corresponding to a 3.0% dividend yield based on the closing price for 2017, to be approved by the Annual General Meeting in May.
Our sTraTeGIC dIreCTIOn
Kinnevik builds digital businesses that use the power of technology to make life better for people around the world. The opportunities this creates are fascinating, both for the technology itself, and because of how it affects people's lives. Technology gives consumers the right to choose, be it more convenient shopping online, a better Internet connection, simple and cost-effcient access to insurance and fnancial services, or seeing a doctor on your mobile device when you choose.
With the recently announced transactions in Tele2, Com Hem and MTG, I am convinced that we are creating a strong platform for our Nordic TMT companies to move into the next phase of their value creation.
In the private portfolio, we will work hard on increasing value by clearly identifying the winners among our existing companies and supporting them to reach their full long-term potential. We remain frmly focused on fnding new opportunities in our target sectors and aim to make a number of new investments in the coming years.
Around 25% of our assets are based in the Nordics and we will be increasing our efforts to identify new investments in the region, whilst remaining opportunistic about attractive prospects in selected markets across the globe.
It has been a busy frst month in the offce, and during the coming weeks and months I look forward to meeting many of you to discuss our strategy and way forward.

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% over the business cycle.
low leverage
Given the nature of Kinnevik's investments, our goal is to carry low leverage, not exceeding 10% of portfolio value.
Increasing Shareholder Remuneration
Kinnevik aims to pay an annual dividend growing in line with dividends received from our investee companies and the cash fow generated from our investment activities.
Kinnevik will make share buybacks when our shares trade at
a signifcant discount to their intrinsic value, as perceived by Kinnevik, and the company has signifcant net cash (taking into consideration its dividend expectations, net investment plan and operating cost).

FaIr Values as aT 31 deCeMBer 2017
At the end of December, the fair value of Kinnevik's unlisted fnancial assets amounted to a total of SEK 11,682m, to be compared with an accumulated invested amount (net after dividends received) of SEK 12,169m. The change in fair value, plus dividends received, amounted to SEK 224m in the quarter, as specifed in the table on the previous page.
lIQuIdaTIOn PreFerenCes
Kinnevik's unlisted investee companies adopt different fnancing structures, and at times issue shares with liquidation preference rights. Liquidation preferences determine how proceeds from a liquidity event are allocated between shareholders. This allocation may become increasingly complex as a company raises several funding rounds at different valuations. As Kinnevik's participation often varies between funding rounds, Kinnevik's share of proceeds may signifcantly deviate from its percentage ownership of the investee company's issued equity. Accordingly, an increase or decrease in value of an investee company's equity where liquidation preferences are applicable may result in a disproportionate increase or decrease in the fair value of Kinnevik's shareholding in that investee company.
GlOBal FasHIOn GrOuP
The fair value of Kinnevik's 35 percent shareholding in Global Fashion Group ("GFG") amounts to SEK 5,239m as at 31 December 2017, based on a total value of GFG's fully diluted equity of EUR 1.6bn. The valuation of GFG implies an average multiple of 1.3x the company's last twelve months' net revenues as at 30 September 2017. The implied average multiple corresponds to a 45 percent discount to a group of listed and proftable developed market fashion e-commerce peers, and discounts vary between GFG's different regional businesses. The implied discount not only refects differences in growth and proftability, but also Kinnevik's assessment of equity risk premiums across GFG's partly emerging market focused footprint as may be referenced from a broader set of listed emerging market e-commerce companies.

The fair value of Kinnevik's 17 percent shareholding in Home24 amounts to SEK 218m as at 31 December 2017, based on a total value of Home24's fully diluted equity of EUR 296m. The valuation of Home24 applies a multiple of 1.1x the company's last twelve months' net revenues as at 30 September 2017. The applied multiple corresponds to a 40 percent discount to a group of listed e-commerce peers, and refects differences in growth and proftability.
The fair value of Kinnevik's 17 percent shareholding in Westwing amounts to SEK 479m as at 31 December 2017, based on a total value of Westwing's fully diluted equity of EUR 288m. The valuation of Westwing applies a multiple of 1.3x the company's last twelve months' net revenues as at 30 September 2017. The applied multiple corresponds to a 30 percent discount to a group of listed e-commerce peers, which refects differences in growth and proftability.
The peer group used for the valuation of Home24 and Westwing has been updated during the fourth quarter. The discounts applied has been adjusted in the quarter to refect the relative growth and proftability of Home24 and Westwing versus the new peer group.

The fair value of Kinnevik's 18 percent shareholding in Quikr amounts to SEK 1,358m as at 31 December 2017, based on a total value of Quikr's fully diluted equity of USD 935m. The valuation of Quikr is based on a discounted cash fow analysis. A number of all-stock transactions have been concluded at an approximate 66 percent premium to the USD 935m valuation, but due to the lack of a signifcant cash element in each of these transactions they are not considered as suffciently robust to be used as basis for the assessment of the fair value of Kinnevik's shareholding.
The fair value of Kinnevik's 61 percent shareholding in Saltside amounts to SEK 195m as at 31 December 2017. The valuation of Saltside is based on a discounted cash fow analysis.

notes For the group
1RWHV IRU WKH *URXS 6(.P
note 1 accounting principles
The consolidated fnancial 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. Information in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting is provided in the notes as well as on other places in the interim report.
The accounting principles and calculation methods applied in this report are the same as those described in the 2016 Annual Report.
Future IFRS amendments
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and introduce requirements for the classifcation and measurement, impairment, derecognition and requirements for general hedge accounting. Classifcation and measurement under IFRS 9 is based on the entity's business model for managing the fnancial asset and the characteristics of the contractual cash fows of the asset. Based on Kinnevik's analysis performed during the year Kinnevik does not anticipate, apart from providing more extensive disclosures on the Group's revenue transactions, that the application of IFRS 9 will have a signifcant impact on the fnancial position and/or fnancial performance of the Group.
IFRS 15 replaces IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and the related interpretations. The new standard established a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenues (5-step approach) based on when the control of a good or service is transferred to the customer. The core principle of IFRS 15 is that an entity should recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that refects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Based on Kinnevik's analysis performed during the year Kinnevik does not anticipate that the application of IFRS 15 will have a signifcant impact on the fnancial position and/ or fnancial performance of the Group.
note 2 risK management
Kinnevik has a model for risk management, which aims to identify, control and reduce risks. The identifed risks and how they are managed are reported to the Kinnevik Board of Directors on a quarterly basis.
Kinnevik's fnancing and management of fnancial risks is centralised within Kinnevik's fnance function and is conducted on the basis of a fnance policy established by the Board of Directors. Kinnevik is exposed to fnancial risks mainly in the form of changes in the value of the stock portfolio, changes in currency and interest rates, and fnancing risks. Operational risks are managed within each company with an operating business. Kinnevik is also exposed to political risks since the companies in which Kinnevik has invested have substantial operations in less developed markets in Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa and South East Asia.
For a more detailed description of Kinnevik's risks and uncertainties, as well as risk management, refer to Note 18 for the Group in the 2016 Annual Report.
note 3 relateD party transactions
Related party transactions for the period are of the same character as the transactions described in the 2016 Annual Report.
note 4 Financial assets accounteD at Fair Value through proFit anD loss
Kinnevik's unlisted holdings are valued using IFRS 13 and the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines, 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 preferential rights, such as senior liquidation preference to the company's assets than earlier issued shares. For companies where no or few recent arm's length transactions have been performed, a valuation is conducted either by applying relevant multiples to the company's historical and forecast key fgures, such as sales, proft, equity, or by discounting future expected cash fows. When performing a valuation based on multiples, consideration is given to potential adjustments due to, for example, difference in size, historic growth, proftability and geographic market between the current company and the group of comparable companies.
The valuation process for Kinnevik's unlisted holdings is run by the fnancial department and based on fnancial information reported from each holding. The correctness of the fnancial information received is ensured through continuous contacts with management of each holding and monthly reviews of the accounts. 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 fnancial 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 frstly with the CFO and CEO following which a draft is sent to the Audit Committee as well as the companies external auditors, who analyse and discuss the outcome before it is approved.
company 9DOXDWLRQ PHWKRG 9DOXDWLRQ DVVXPSWLRQV Global Fashion Group The valuation is based on a sum-of-the-parts method using sales multiples for each region applying individual regional discounts to a group of listed and proftable developed market fashion e-commerce peers (Zalando, Asos and Yoox Net-a-Porter Group). The implied average multiple corresponds to a 45% discount on an aggregated level. The applied discounts refect differences in growth and profitability as well as emerging market exposure referenced from a broader set of listed emerging market e-commerce companies. On a fully diluted basis GFG is valued at EUR 1.6bn. The valuation considers preferential rights in case of a liquidation or sale of the company. Last 12 months sales (ending 30 September 2017) Multiple: 1.3x Home24 The valuation is based on the average sales multiple of a group of comparable companies (including Asos, Wayfair and Maison du Monde), adjusted with a 40% discount on an aggregated level to adjust for growth and proftability. On a fully diluted basis Home24 is valued at EUR 296m. The valuation considers preferential rights in case of a liquidation or sale of the company and results in Kinnevik's 17% stake in Home24 being valued at SEK 218m. Last 12 months sales (ending 30 September 2017) Multiple: 1.1x Westwing The valuation is based on the average sales multiple of a group of comparable companies (including Asos, Wayfair and Maison du Monde). The average sales multiple of the peer group has been reduced by 30% due to factors such as growth and proftability. On a fully diluted basis Westwing is valued at EUR 288m. The valuation considers preferential rights in case of a liquidation or sale of the company and results in Kinnevik's 17% stake, together with warrants worth SEK 86m, being valued at SEK 479m. Last 12 months sales (ending 30 September 2017) Multiple: 1.3x Quikr The fair value of Kinnevik's 18% shareholding in Quikr valued at SEK 1.4bn is valued based on discounted cash fows valuing Quikr at USD 935m on a fully diluted basis. Saltside The valuation is based on discounted cash fows valuing Kinnevik's 61% shareholding to SEK 195m. Bayport The valuation is based on the latest funding round in September 2017. The transaction values all shares in Bayport at USD 608m on a fully converted and diluted basis. Betterment The valuation is based on the latest funding round in July 2017. The transaction values all shares in Betterment at USD 800m on a fully diluted basis. Milvik/ BIMA The valuation is based on the latest funding round in December 2017. The transaction values all shares in BIMA at approximately USD 290m. Babylon The valuation is based on the latest funding round in April 2017. Livongo The valuation is based on the latest funding round in March 2017.
Below is a summary of the valuation methods applied in the accounts as per 31 December 2017:
For the companies in the table above that are valued based on sales multiples (i.e. Global Fashion Group, Home24 and Westwing), an increase in the multiple by 10% would have increased estimated fair value by SEK 461m. Similarly, a decrease in the multiple by 10% would have decreased estimated fair value by SEK 401m.
When establishing the fair value of other fnancial 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.
Information is provided in this note per class of fnancial instruments that are valued at fair value in the balance sheet, distributed in the 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 signifcant input from data that is not observable in the market.

DeFinitions oF alternatiVe perFormance measures
Kinnevik presents some performance measures in the interim report that are not defned by IFRS. Kinnevik believes that these performance measures adds valuable information to the company's investors and the company's management since they enable assessment of the Kinnevik's and its portfolio companies' performance and position. Since all companies do not calculate their performance measures in the same manner, these are not always comparable with similar measures used by other companies. Such performance measures shall therefore not be used in replacement of measures defned by IFRS.
Alternative performance measures in Kinnevik's interim report include:
| Active customers | Number of customers having made at least one order within the last 12 months |
|---|---|
| Debt/equity ratio | Interest-bearing liabilities including interest-bearing provisions divided by shareholders' equity |
| Equity ratio | Shareholders' equity including non-controlling interest as percentage of total assets |
| Gross merchandise value, GMV | Total value of all sale transactions during the period, including taxes but excluding ship ping costs |
| Internal rate of return, IRR | The annual rate of return calculated in quarterly intervals on a SEK basis that renders a zero net present value of (i) fair values at the beginning and end of the respective meas urement period, (ii) investments and divestments, and (iii) cash dividends and dividends in kind |
| Investments | All investments in listed and unlisted fnancial assets, including loans to portfolio com panies |
| Leverage | Net debt as a percentage of portfolio value |
| Net asset value, NAV | Net value of all assets on the balance sheet, equal to the shareholders' equity |
| Net cash/(net debt) | Interest bearing receivables (excluding net outstanding receivables relating to portfolio companies), short-term investments and cash and cash equivalents less interest-bearing liabilities including interest-bearing provisions and unpaid investments/divestments |
| Net investments | The net of all investments and divestments in listed and unlisted fnancial assets |
| Net merchandise value, NMV | Gross merchandise value after actual and provisioned returns and rejections |
| Portfolio value | Value of all assets on the balance sheet, less cash and cash equivalents |
| Total shareholder return, TSR | Annualized total return of the Kinnevik B share on the basis of shareholders reinvesting all cash dividends, dividends in kind, and mandatory share redemption proceeds into the Kinnevik B share, before tax, on each respective ex-dividend date. The value of Kinnevik B shares held at the end of the measurement period is divided by the price of the Kinnevik B share at the beginning of the period, and the resulting total return is then recalculated as an annual rate |

reVieW report
,QWURGXFWLRQ
We have reviewed the interim report for Kinnevik AB for the period 1 January - 31 December 2017. The Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Offcer 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.
6FRSH RI 5HYLHZ
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 fnancial 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 signifcant matters that might be identifed 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.
&RQFOXVLRQ
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.
