With Kinnevik's divestment of its entire stake in Tele2 to iliad/NJJ announced in the first quarter, we are completing our strategic transformation to a growthfocused investment firm that we commenced some six years ago. Our Board of Directors has decided to recommend a SEK 6.4bn extraordinary cash distribution, providing shareholders a significant yield while ensuring that Kinnevik has the financial strength and flexibility to capture the many opportunities that will arise over the coming years. Against a stabilizing market backdrop, our core growth companies continued to grow and improve profitability. However, WBA's impairment charge related to VillageMD goodwill impacted NAV negatively in a meaningful way in the quarter.
Our Net Asset Value amounted to SEK 47.9bn or 170 per share at the end of the first quarter 2024, down by SEK 0.2bn or 0.5 percent. The fair value of our unlisted assets was written down by SEK 1.3bn or 5 percent in the quarter. A material SEK 2.0bn write-down of our retained stake in VillageMD reflecting WBA's goodwill impairment cut back our aggregate return on investment to 4.2x and offset an otherwise stable development and positive currency movements. With SEK 0.5bn net invested, the private portfolio declined in value by 0.9bn to 27.3bn.
Our core growth companies – Cityblock, Mews, Pleo, Spring Health and TravelPerk – continued to deliver on expectations. Over the last twelve months, they have grown revenues by 75 percent on average, progressed on their path to profitability and are expected to generate positive EBITDA in 2025. Our investments in these five businesses now represent 46 percent of our growth portfolio, up from 41 percent in the previous quarter and 30 percent at the end of 2022. We expect their weight to continue to grow in 2024.
We ended the quarter with SEK 10.3bn in net cash, or 13.9bn pro forma the Tele2 divestment and the Board's proposed extraordinary cash distribution. Our portfolio remains well-funded, with more than 75 percent of our private companies by value being either profitable or funded to break-even. This financial strength enables us to unlock and execute on more opportunistic follow-on investments and selectively pursue new opportunities in our focus sectors.
In February, we announced that Kinnevik has agreed to sell its entire shareholding in Tele2 to iliad/NJJ for a total of SEK 13bn. Through this transaction, Tele2 gains a new lead shareholder in the combination of iliad and NJJ, with a longstanding track record in the European telecom sector as an early pioneer in France and as a business builder at scale across multiple European markets. Founded by Jan Stenbeck in the early 1980s, Tele2's strong value creation has been instrumental in building the Kinnevik of today, fuelling its historic dividend flow to shareholders as well as Kinnevik's strategic transformation into a leading European growth investor. A pivot that, upon closing of the transaction, will be completed.
Following the Tele2 transaction, our Board intends to propose an extraordinary cash distribution of SEK 23 per share, or SEK 6.4bn in total. This corresponds to approximately half of the proceeds from the Tele2 divestment, and leaves Kinnevik with a SEK 13.9bn pro forma net cash position.
We have a meaningful pipeline of potential investments, primarily in our core companies, where we can utilize the competitive advantage of our permanent capital base in a market where many face constraints that force them to seek liquidity. With the proceeds we retain, we ensure that we have the strength and flexibility needed to capture these opportunities. In light of this pipeline, the Board has decided not to seek an authorization to repurchase Kinnevik shares at this point in time. Instead, it has elected to provide our shareholders a significant cash yield corresponding to 19 percent of our market capitalization per end of Q1.
In line with our ambition to concentrate our portfolio towards our core growth companies, Kinnevik led Mews' funding round in the quarter with a SEK 419m investment. With more than USD 100m in new capital, Mews is set up for further growth and can prioritise global expansion, research and development, and potential acquisitions. Mews' founders Richard and CEO Matt are building a product suite and a team that is redefining the hospitality industry. We first invested into Mews in late 2022 and while we are very early on in our journey with them, the company has outperformed our expectations and successfully expanded into new geographies and segments. We are excited to back the team with more capital to enable them to realise their ambitions and accelerate even more quickly, and to extend the platform's combination of software and payments solutions.
In March, Pelago closed a USD 58m funding round led by Atomico Growth with participation from Kinnevik and all other existing investors. Substance use disorder ("SUD") is one of today's biggest health concerns in the US. Pelago has developed a transformative care model addressing this, which boosts workplace safety, reduces absenteeism, and significantly reduces costs for employers. Pelago is the leading SUD digital clinic partner to US businesses and health plans, with revenue growth exceeding 280 percent in 2023 on a platform that now covers more than 3.4 million people. The new capital will enable Pelago to accelerate its product roadmap, extend its continuum of care, and advance its clinical research efforts. The visionary leadership of the founder team Yusuf, Maroof and Sarim is reflected in Pelago's exceptional growth and best-in-class clinical outcomes, and Kinnevik is proud to be backing this young company as it continues to scale.
While WBA's accounting measures related to VillageMD causes this quarter's NAV to be disappointingly flat, we are encouraged by the strong progress in our core companies and by the opportunities that our Tele2 divestment provide. Half of our portfolio is invested in five world-class growth companies, and outside this core we have several young companies with significant potential. We have a strong and flexible financial position after a meaningful SEK 6.4bn extraordinary cash distribution, providing us the capabilities we need to capture the many opportunities that will arise over the coming years.
The Kinnevik Annual General Meeting will take place in Stockholm on 3 June, and I look forward to meeting many of our shareholders there.
Georgi Ganev CEO of Kinnevik

In February, we announced that Kinnevik has agreed to sell its full shareholding in Tele2 to iliad/NJJ with proceeds amounting to a total of SEK 13bn. Through this transaction, Tele2 gains a new lead shareholder in the combination of iliad and NJJ, with a longstanding track record in the European telecom sector as an early pioneer in France and as a business builder at scale across multiple European markets.
The transaction will be completed in three steps, of which the first has already been completed:
In April, we announced that the Board of Directors had concluded its capital structure review initiated after the Tele2 divestment, and intends to propose an extraordinary cash distribution of SEK 23 per share, or 6.4bn in total, to the 2024 AGM to be held on 3 June 2024.
James Anderson, Chairman of Kinnevik, commented: "The Board and I are pleased with the feedback received from major shareholders through our review of Kinnevik's capital structure, and are grateful of their strong support of our strategy and ambitions. We will deploy our strengthened financial resources with patience and selectiveness, in furtherance of a more concentrated portfolio driving long-term shareholder value creation."

In March, Mews closed a USD 110m funding round led by Kinnevik with participation from existing investors Revaia, Goldman Sachs Alternatives, Notion Capital and new investor LGVP. With this new capital, Mews is set up for further growth and can prioritise global expansion, research and development, and potential acquisitions.

In March, Pelago successfully closed a USD 58m funding round led by Atomico Growth with participation from Kinnevik (USD 8m paid in Q4 2023) and all other existing investors, as well as new investors Eight Roads and GreyMatter Capital. The funding round follows a year with over 280 percent revenue growth and 100 percent client retention, and Pelago's platform now covers more than 3.4 million eligible lives. The company operates in all 50 US states with customers including AT&T, GE Appliances, HP, Philips and Live Nation.
Pelago has developed a transformative care model for substance use management for US businesses and health plans, addressing one of the nation's most urgent healthcare needs. Research shows that the annual minimum direct cost of substance abuse disorders is over USD 15,500 per affected employee, totalling more than USD 35bn annually. Pelago's substance use management programme has been proven to reduce medical claims on an annual basis by over USD 9,000 per participant compared to a control group, delivering a 3.0x ROI. These strong clinical outcomes are reflected in the 500 percent increase in substance-abuse disorder specific RFPs Pelago has received in the past twelve months.
The new funds will be used to expand the company's platform, advance its clinical research efforts and explore expansions into additional substance areas.

Matthijs Welle, CEO, and Richard Valtr, Founder
Hotel operations are incredibly complex, encompassing tasks from managing physical properties to coordinating front-office and back-office staff, reservations, housekeeping, and food and beverage services. The Property Management System ("PMS") serves as the critical piece of technology infrastructure at the heart of every hotel. Furthermore, with the shift in consumer behaviour towards digital-first interactions and personalisation, today's PMS must offer more than just core operational capabilities. Built by hoteliers for hoteliers, Mews was created with the mission to transform an entire industry through technology and make hospitality more remarkable for everyone.
Mews' product offering focuses on integrating into three key workstreams within hospitality management. First, saving hotel staff time in day-to-day operations and empowering them to create remarkable guest experiences. Second, helping hotels increase bookings by providing a customisable and user-centric booking engine. And lastly, providing hassle-free payment processing services using Mews Payments.
The defining characteristic of Mews' tech suite is how tightly different modules are integrated and embedded within one another. While competitors require hotel staff to use multiple systems for a single guest's needs, Mews provides hoteliers with full end-to-end capabilities on its platform.
A key enabler of Mews' success has been its partnership strategy. With over 1,000 integrations on its platform, it is the most connected marketplace in the hotel industry. Over the years, Mews has deliberately invested in an ecosystem of partners that can build on top of Mews, via its Open API, and offer best-of-breed solutions to hotels.
We are strong believers in backing innovative companies that are focused on becoming the one-stop-shop for all business needs within a certain vertical. We believe that, as these companies develop their products, the opportunity to ´land and expand´ by selling beyond just software (such as integrated payments processing capabilities or additional distribution) emerges. Since our initial investment, Mews has proved to be the perfect example of our thesis.
Our initial investment decision was based not only on a cutting-edge solution that significantly enhances value throughout the value chain, but also on the team's vision to move away from traditional, unrepresentative measurements like occupancy or revenue per available room (RevPAR). Mews aims to rethink how both space and time are utilised within a hospitality venue.
The hospitality software and payments market today exceeds USD 20bn and is expected to grow rapidly at an 11 percent CAGR until 2030. The growth is driven primarily by the shift from legacy on-premise solutions to cloud-native software, allowing for easier third-party integrations and data security. The continued labour shortage across markets and high turnover among hotel staff are further tailwinds to technology adoption. In the Property Management System sector, where historically the top 50 players have represented just over 52 percent of the market, Mews has achieved significant market penetration in its core geographies. Also, with over 1,000 integrations on its platform, Mews now stands as the most connected marketplace in the hotel industry.

Spring Health contracts with employers, health plans and channel partners to offer their Precision Mental Healthcare platform as a benefit to beneficiaries, such as employees, and their dependents. Spring Health charges these partners for their beneficiaries and dependents to have access to the platform and for the delivery of certain types of care.
The Precision Mental Healthcare platform acts as the single front door for beneficiaries and their dependents to receive care for their mental health across the whole acuity spectrum. The Platform combines AI, machine learning and proprietary clinical capabilities to assess and match members to a personalised care plan, whether that's self-guided digital support, coaching, therapy or medication, across conditions such as anxiety, depression and eating disorders.
The company has also rolled out dedicated services and programmes for populations such as adolescents and neurodivergent individuals. All members are assigned a Care Navigator, who helps guide them through their treatment. This approach removes the guesswork from trial-and-error interventions and ensures that members get better, faster.
The clinical results have been truly best-in-class, with the company reporting a 68 percent improvement rate in anxiety and depression amongst members and 70 percent of members achieving reliable improvement in fewer sessions.
Today, more than 800 clients, such as Microsoft, JPMorgan Chase, General Mills, Bain and Instacart, as well as 10 million people worldwide have access to Spring Health.
With the rapid rise in mental health disorders (more than one in five US adults are living with a mental health illness currently), the need has never been greater for timely access to high-quality, behavioural health services. However, with provider shortages and patient wait times growing, this is becoming harder and harder to achieve, resulting in a behavioural health market that is ripe for disruption.
Since day one, we have been highly impressed by Spring Health's tech-enabled care platform delivering personalised care and its continued investment in cutting-edge clinical and technology innovation. This is not only delivering a better experience for members, evidenced by strong member testimonials and recovery rates, but it is also improving the provider experience. Since our investment in late 2021, Spring Health has grown their LTM revenues by an impressive 16x.
We at Kinnevik, believe that a superior experience for both providers and patients is a crucial foundational element for building a transformational business in healthcare.
Under the leadership of its outstanding founders, April Koh and Dr Adam Chekroud, the results speak for themselves. Clients are witnessing meaningful ROI results, members are getting better at record rates, and the company is showing phenomenal growth.
Spring Health serves over 4,500 companies, from startups to multinational Fortune 500 corporations.
Return on Investment in Health Plan Spend A study certified by the Validation Institute found that for every USD 1.00 invested in Spring Health, customers save USD 2.20 on their health plan spend.
A study certified by the Validation Institute found that Spring Health participants who suffer from major depression or dysthymia reduce their time away from work by 12% compared to a control group.

The expense management category has historically been highly manual. Employees have been using corporate cards and keeping paper receipts, requiring manual approvals where admin teams match paper receipts against the card, clearly indicating an outdated system in need of disruption and new solutions.
Pleo has carved out a niche for itself by simplifying the often cumbersome process of corporate expense management. Through their integrated solution of physical and virtual cards paired with intuitive software, Pleo automates expense tracking and categorisation, offering valuable real-time insights to businesses and their employees alike.
Pleo currently monetise in two ways: the first is a SaaS fee, and the second is transaction fees on spend on the platform. The resulting gross margins are high, and we believe Pleo can continue to grow its category leadership and overall stickiness through expansion into other spend management use cases and customer segments. These include for example recurring spend, payroll and accounts payable/receivable.
Expense management is a category with great potential. It is a horizontal problem, meaning, you have a large surface area of businesses from lots of sectors to go after, and consequently, a large serviceable addressable market. In addition, it gives you access to the large volume of financial flows generated through expense processing. With Pleo handling billions in expenses every year, they are thereby providing an additional monetisation lever.
We invested in Pleo in 2018 due to its strong and experienced founder team, its asset-light and scalable business model, solid business fundamentals, and the company's drive to disrupt a historically underserved category.
Today we remain impressed by Pleo's scalability. Their product-led growth strategy allows for a low-touch goto-market approach, enabling customers to effortlessly onboard themselves and scale their usage, thereby increasing average revenue per account as their needs evolve.
The business model and unit economics provide an attractive predictability due to its high proportion of recurring revenue and additional upside from transaction revenues. Pleo also show high net revenue retention as companies increase usage over time.
Pleo's excellence in product and go-to-market strategy, coupled with a vast addressable market well into the tens of billions of euros, lead us to believe that there is significant potential for further expansion across the spend management value chain.

TravelPerk offers a transparent one-stop-shop solution for business travel, empowering CFOs with cost control and compliance while ensuring travellers enjoy a seamless 'consumer-grade' experience. TravelPerk succeeds thanks to a leading tech platform that holds the world's largest travel inventory, rather than a narrow subset of favoured providers. Also, superior 24/7, AI-powered customer support and the ability to prevent out-ofpocket expenses and painful reimbursement processes place them ahead of competition.
TravelPerk has established an outstanding product and engineering organisation, consistently introducing value-adding services in response to client needs. These include FlexiPerk, the world's first flexible cancellation policy, and GreenPerk, a carbon-offset product. Furthermore, by deeply integrating with other financial software solutions such as Pleo, TravelPerk has developed a scalable architecture that offers full employee-spend visibility.
We firmly believe in consumer-inspired solutions for corporate use, known as 'Consumerisation of Enterprise'. We look for businesses targeting vast corporate markets with noticeable gaps in product standards and selfservice dynamics, often resulting in employees driving adoption – aligning perfectly with TravelPerk's position.
Historically, only around 30 percent of total corporate travel spend has been 'managed' by a travel company. TravelPerk is uniquely positioned to benefit from the secular shift from unmanaged to managed travel spend that responds to companies' demand. These range from greater visibility over spend and enforcement of policies to increased need for real-time customer support to cope with the rise in travel disruptions. Heightened focus on emissions reporting, and duty of care to map employee locations in a world with heightened geopolitical and health risks are also benefitting TravelPerk.
As a result, since our partnership began in 2018, Travel-Perk has rapidly scaled, nearing an annualised booking volume of USD 2bn, with its revenues growing over 70 percent in 2023 and gross profit growing over 90 percent in the same period.

Cityblock partners with US health insurers in value-based care arrangements to manage some of the insurers' most complex, underserved and marginalised patients. The company focuses on Medicaid (government-funded health insurance for individuals with limited income) and dually eligible (enrolled in both Medicaid and Medicare programmes) beneficiaries.
Cityblock is assigned patients and paid a monthly fee per member to engage and treat them. The company delivers tech-enabled medical care, behavioural healthcare and social services to these high-risk or rising-risk individuals, and, in the process, helps address and close gaps in healthcare, resulting in improved quality and outcomes. This helps reduce unnecessary emergency room visits and inpatient admissions, which translates into lower medical claims costs for these individuals and drives financial savings for the health insurers, who share a portion of it with Cityblock.
Cityblock addresses a massive and growing need in the US, supporting the most vulnerable population groups that fall between the cracks today with a communitybased, tech-enabled scalable care model. Today, there are 83 million Medicaid and 12.5 million dually eligible beneficiaries. Cityblock's vision is to serve at least 10 million members from these groups by 2030.
The company has witnessed impressive growth and results since our initial investment in 2020, having scaled from a small NYC-based business to a company serving six markets, more than 100.000 members, and working with both national and regional health insurers.
We wanted to partner with Cityblock, not only to address the rising needs of underserved groups, but also because we believe value-based care arrangements are the future of American healthcare. So far, government support for value-based care models remains steady, and Cityblock has proven that it can scale its unique tech-enabled care model. Still, Cityblock's visionary founder and CEO, Dr Toyin Ajayi, remains as motivated as ever to change US healthcare for the better, and build a transformational business.

Agreena's purpose is to mobilise farmers and corporations, unlocking the value of nature to help restore the planet and create a more resilient food system. Agreena onboards farmers to regenerative practices and monitors, verifies and reports the results. Their end-to-end tech platform enables the generation and purchase of validated carbon credits as well as visibility of the supply chain for food corporates, to finance the transition to sustainable farming.
24 percent of the world's productive lands are already degraded, with agriculture being the main driver. Changing farming practices can not only restore the soil, increase water quality and biodiversity but also sequester carbon. If applied at scale, regenerative farming can remove 2-5 gigatons of carbon yearly, representing 5-10 percent of emissions caused by humans.
Agreena stood out to us with their strong tech platform, which creates significant climate impact by enabling farmers to apply regenerative practices at scale, and which can be built out to offer further solutions for farmers and corporates alike. The company is strongly positioned in a large market (agriculture represents 40 percent of the global land surface) with significant tailwinds such as food security, biodiversity, and corporate and government commitments to lower and remove carbon emissions as well as increase supply chain visibility.

Residential heating accounts for 10 percent of Europe's CO2 emissions. Aira has a bold vision to drive the adoption of clean energy technology by accelerating the electrification of residential heating, with intelligent heat pumps at the core.
To ensure the best customer experience, Aira is implementing a vertically integrated approach which aims to achieve an attractive price point, high sales conversion rates and superior customer satisfaction. Over time, the company's goal is to further extend their offering to a complete range of products, including heat pumps, batteries, solar panels, and electric vehicle charging stations, all integrated within an intelligent ecosystem.
When we invested in Aira, we were not only drawn to the attractive double-digit growth opportunity in the European heat pump market and the large total addressable market of EUR 1 trillion, but also drawn to their vertically integrated solution. This allows for a significantly improved user experience, as well as structurally better unit economics and margin profile.

■ Announced the formation of a Therapeutic Advisory Board (TAB), chaired by Nicholas Saccomano, PhD., former Chief Science Officer at Pfizer
Enveda is a biotechnology company unravelling compounds in nature that can be used to discover new drugs. The company was founded by Viswa Colluru, a PhD in molecular biology and a true visionary. He previously held leadership roles at Recursion, another portfolio company of ours, which he left in 2019 to start Enveda. The company was founded on the belief that the answer to many illnesses and diseases can be found in nature. Nature has been a source of inspiration in drug discovery in the past but returns diminished due to limitations in understanding nature's complex chemical make-up. Enveda uses novel machine-learning techniques such as large language models to create a 'search engine' to index and map the chemical components of plants.
The company then pioneers a dual strategy, advancing novel drugs to critical points before deciding between in-house development or licensing to pharmaceutical partners. This approach optimises market presence and mitigates R&D costs and risks, capitalising on Enveda's unique platform. Though still early-stage, Enveda's potential in transforming healthcare and drug discovery is highly promising.

H2 Green Steel's mission is to decarbonise hard-to-abate industries, starting with steel which accounts for 8 percent of global CO2 emissions annually. The company's production utilises hydrogen, iron ore and an electric furnace to cut carbon emissions by 95 percent. With large-scale steel production going live in Boden, Sweden, in 2026, the company is well-positioned to capitalise on the growing demand for sustainable steel solutions. H2 Green Steel will also look to expand its green hydrogen technology across other carbon-intensive sectors.
H2 Green Steel stands to benefit from significant supply-demand imbalances, the potential to leverage new modern technology with a state-of-the-art plant, access to cheap electricity, and on top, regulatory tailwinds. Thus, they will be able to create a leading cost position within the European steel industry, with an attractive financial profile.
While the overall project is complex, several aspects are already de-risked, with strong execution since our investment. This includes for example a technology stack based on existing and proven production methods, a significant level of commercial contracts secured, key permits in place and the first phase of the project being fully financed.

Recursion is pioneering the future of biopharma, blending the power of AI and machine learning to redefine what's possible in drug discovery. Recursion employs a trio of strategic business models within the AI-driven drug discovery sector. Firstly, it invests in developing an extensive in-house pipeline, bearing all R&D expenses while retaining full profits from successful drugs. Secondly, it fosters co-development partnerships, exemplified by agreements with Roche-Genentech and Bayer. Lastly, Recursion monetises its proprietary technology and data platform through SaaS licensing agreements, offering access to its cutting-edge tools and insights.
We believe Recursion is the leading AI/machine-learning-based drug discovery company on the market and will become a consolidator in the space, due to its access to capital and multi-billion milestones payments potentially unlocking over the coming years. We are particularly excited by the remarkable multi-year collaboration with NVIDIA, which marks a groundbreaking venture to advance foundation models in biology and chemistry, using the most powerful private supercomputer in the biological domain.

Solugen aims to decarbonise the USD 6tn chemicals industry responsible for 6 percent of global CO2 emissions. It uses its green chemicals platform powered by AI-engineered enzymes (living organisms that act as catalysts to bring about specific biochemical reactions) and metal catalysts, as well as bio-based feedstock, to bypass the limitations of traditional, petroleum-based methods for manufacturing chemicals. As Solugen uses sugar instead of fossil fuels as its feedstock, the chemical products it produces are safer, cheaper and more environmentally friendly than traditional equivalents.
The efficiency of its production process drives higher yields and allows for smaller, more flexible, lower-capex modular plants (Bioforges) that it co-locates with upstream and downstream partners, reducing the associated carbon footprint and supply chain-related risks. The company already has products at commercial scale with a very significant total addressable market within industrial use cases.
With an ambitious and far-reaching vision, an incredibly strong value proposition for customers and exceptional (and IP-protected) technology, we believe Solugen has the potential to become a carbon tech decacorn over time.

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.

The accounting principles are the same as described in the 2023 Annual Report.
Kinnevik's management of financial risks is centralised 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 the Audit & Sustainability Committee and Board of Directors on a regular basis. Kinnevik is mainly exposed to financial risks in respect of:
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 2023 Annual Report.
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.
All transactions with related parties have taken place on an arm's length basis on market conditions. 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.
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 centre around revenue, gross merchandise value, 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 given 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 (Dark), excluding VillageMD (Light)

2024 started with a stable quarter, with one main exception in VillageMD. In its interim report for the financial quarter ending 29 February 2024, VillageMD's controlling shareholder Walgreens Boots Alliance ("WBA") made an impairment charge related to VillageMD goodwill that we estimate implies an underlying valuation 66 percent below our assessed valuation of VillageMD in Q4 2023. We have elected not to make our own assessment, and instead respect WBA's significantly conservative valuation in so far as we use it as the basis for our fair value assessment of our 2 percent ownership stake. Further details are provided on p. 29.
In our five core companies – Cityblock, Mews, Pleo, Spring, and TravelPerk, our level of influence and access to information is in direct contrast with the case of VillageMD. For these companies, 2024 has started strong. They have all hit or beaten our topline expectations in 2024 to date, and have beaten our EBITDA margin expectations. Over the next twelve months, we expect our core companies to grow topline by 50 percent with (12) percent EBITDA margins. In 2025, we expect them to maintain a growth rate exceeding 40 percent and generate positive EBITDA. They are all well funded, with an aggregate SEK 9bn in cash on their balance sheets relative to their expected SEK 3-4bn in aggregate burn needed to reach cash flow profitability. In Q1 2024, their fair value increased by 4 percent to SEK 13.1bn, representing 46 percent of our Growth Portfolio. This is up from 30 percent at the end of 2022, and we expect our portfolio's weight towards these companies to continue to expand throughout 2024 through continued strong operational performance, before factoring in our capital allocation priorities.
In total, the fair value of our private investments decreased by 5 percent in the quarter, with an underlying negative change in valuation of 9 percent, in part offset primarily by positive currency movements. Excluding WBA's write-down of VillageMD, the underlying negative change in valuation amounted to 2 percent and the fair value grew by 3 percent.
While many reference a slow start to 2024 in venture and growth capital markets, market activity is merely in line with last year as well as with pre-pandemic levels. Performing companies are being funded at fair valuations, and struggling companies are facing difficulties in raising financing to reach objectives deemed unattractive or unattainable. This is a sign of health. We have our share of both types of companies in our portfolio. Our quarterly valuation reassessments have enabled us to provide a consistent mark-to-market view of our portfolio to our stakeholders in a private capital market with tendencies to be transparent around successes and opaque elsewhere. This has also consistently pushed downward the share of value these struggling companies represent.
In 2024, we are intent on continuing to improve how we report our investees' performance and our valuation assessments. In this quarter, we have begun providing NTM revenue and gross margin expectations for our groups of investees. We also provide a full list of all comparable publicly listed businesses we benchmark our valuations against on our website. We aim to continue to provide more information, in particular around our core companies, consistently through the year. Considering the constraints we face, this will to some extent come at an ad hoc basis or be provided on a clustered rather than individual investee basis.
Relative to end of 2023, our expectations on our investees' revenue growth in 2024 remained largely unchanged on average during Q1, and our expectations of their 2024 EBITDA margins were improved slightly.
In 2024, we expect growth to continue to be weighed down by our e-commerce investees until their underlying consumer markets stabilise and improve. We expect the private portfolio to grow revenues by 43 percent on average in 2024, up from 40 percent in the previous quarter through this quarter's capital allocation and change in portfolio composition.
The financial position of this fast-growing portfolio remains robust. Half of the private portfolio by value is expected to reach EBITDA profitability in 2024 on a full-year or end-of year run-rate basis. An additional 28 percent are funded to break-even with a buffer. Companies representing 18 percent of our private portfolio are likely to require new capital over the coming twelve months under their current business plans. 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 needs through other means and from other sources than our balance sheet.
Multiples remained flat on average in our private portfolio's peer universe in Q1 2024. Our valuations, however, were based on multiples contracting by 14 percent. This is primarily driven by WBA's significant implicit write-down of VillageMD in the quarter. Excluding VillageMD, private portfolio multiples declined by 8 percent.
The spread to peers stems mainly from our investees growing significantly faster than their public market equivalents, with a number of them transitioning over the coming quarters into being valued increasingly on the basis of current and future profitability. At the end of the quarter, our private portfolio was valued at an average 28 percent premium to its peer group's average, while growing on average 4x faster. Relative to its peer group's top quartile, our private portfolio was valued at an average 30 percent discount and growing on average 3x faster.

appreciated by 6 percent and the euro by 4 percent. In aggregate, currencies had a positive SEK 1.3bn impact on our fair values in the quarter.
Over the last twelve months, we have seen transactions in 60 percent of the private portfolio by value. Valuations in these transactions have on average been 8 percent above our own assessed valuations in the quarter preceding each of these respective transactions.
The aggregate effect of liquidation preferences amounted to SEK 2.0bn
at the end of Q1 2024, up 0.1bn from Q4 2023 and down 1.2bn from end of 2022. The aggregate impact corresponds to 7 percent of the fair value of our unlisted portfolio, down from 11 percent at end of 2022. We expect this effect to decrease in 2024, making for less ambiguous and more dynamic fair values.

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 at which these companies traded at are outlined in the scatter chart on the right. 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 such as United Health (UNH) and Humana (HUM), and enabler businesses such as Agilon (AGL) and Privia (PRVA).
In 2023, Cityblock generated more than USD 1bn in revenues, and in 2024 we expect them to grow revenues by around 40 percent with EBITDA margins trending towards break-even at the end of the year. A significant share of 2024 revenue is already contracted. In the months passed since our Q4 2023 report, Cityblock has met our expectations on growth, and beat them on EBITDA margins. The company is fully funded with the company raising nearly USD 600m in 2021. Our valuation comes down slightly in this quarter due to peer multiple contraction particularly pronounced amongst value-based care enabler businesses.
In late March, VillageMD's controlling shareholder WBA reported an impairment charge related to VillageMD goodwill that by our estimates implies an underlying valuation 66 percent below our assessed valuation in Q4 2023. We note that in previous quarters, WBA has deemed a valuation more than 30 percent above our assessed valuation in Q4 2023 as fair. We have elected not to make our own valuation assessment in this quarter, and respect WBA's significantly conservative valuation so far as we use it as the basis for our fair value assessment of our 2 percent ownership stake. VillageMD is now valued below 1x NTM revenue, growing by 20 percent in WBA's latest fiscal quarter with an unchanged expectation to reach EBITDA break-even in 2024. The revised long-term forecast referenced by WBA appears to be in line with the financial expectations we have based our valuations on since Q2 2023, when WBA and VillageMD revised their long-term plan after them having placed misguided expectations on the business after their acquisition of Summit CityMD. VillageMD has a not insignificant amount of intra-group debt to WBA, which exacerbates the effect that the change in enterprise value bears on the value of the company's equity.

Our Virtual Care businesses deliver specialised 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. Transcarent, which is earlier on in its development, generates gross margins slightly lower than this range and weighs on the sector average shown in the table on the right-hand side.
Our SaaS and healthcare technology benchmarks saw their forward revenue multiples contract during the quarter by 7 and 2 percent, respectively. We believe Spring Health should be valued in-between these two benchmarks, considering its similarities to and differences from both. In this quarter, we have pushed our multiples further towards the lower-valued healthcare technology benchmarks, and contracted our revenue and gross profit multiples by 10 percent. On an NTM revenue multiple basis, our valuation is now at a 20 percent premium to the average healthcare technology peer, and at a 34 percent discount to the average SaaS peer. On an NTM gross profit multiple level, our valuation is in line with the average SaaS peer. Meanwhile, Spring Health is growing 3-6x faster than these peer group averages, and is on track to reach cash flow profitability in late 2024 into early 2025. Spring Health has started 2024 in a convincing way, with revenue 5 percent above our expectations and cash consumption 20 percent below expectations. This strong performance renders an underlying equity value that increases by 2 percent in spite of the significant multiple contraction.
Our younger company Pelago announced a USD 58m funding round in Q1 2024. We participated in this funding round already during the previous quarter, and its valuation was reflected in our Q4 2023 net asset value statement. The funding round's valuation was 38 percent above our underlying Q3 2023 valuation, and corresponds to approximately 10x NTM revenue. We expect Pelago to more than triple topline during 2024, with gross margin exceeding 60 percent.

Our Software businesses are benchmarked against three sets of peers. First, SaaS companies whose growth profile comes closest to resembling our investees. Constituents differ over time but include companies such as Snowflake (SNOW), CrowdStrike (CS), SentinelOne (S), and Cloudflare (NET). Second, companies with a high share of transactional or usage-based revenue 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 a key driver of public market 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 public markets. Multiples are adjusted further due to differences in profitability, financial strength, and the percentage share of recurring revenues relative to more transaction-based revenue.
Pleo passed EUR 100m in annualized revenue in 2023 and is growing 2-3x faster than its listed SaaS benchmarks with above-average 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 H2 2025. With significant capital raised in 2021, this path is fully funded. During the quarter we and other existing investors acquired another small number of secondary shares at a customary discount to our previous quarter's valuation. Meanwhile, Pleo has hit topline expectations and beaten profitability expectations significantly. Our fair value increases slightly in the quarter due primarily to a strengthened euro.
Our SEK fair value of TravelPerk increases by 11 percent in the quarter, 5 percent above the valuation in the funding round in which we invested in Q2 2023 and corresponding to 8x NTM revenues. In 2023, the company grew revenues by 70 percent and gross profit by 90 percent. The company has continued to perform in the last months, beating our topline expectations by single digit percentages and burning almost 10 percent less than our expectations.
Our fair value of Cedar is down 20 percent driven by longer than expected sales cycles impacting our expectations on 2024 revenue negatively. This revision in turn leads us to decrease our valuation multiples by 18 percent. We expect growth to reaccelerate back to a rate exceeding 20- 25 percent in 2025, but believe the temporary dip warrants a rebased valuation. Cedar was EBITDA break-even in Q4 2023 and we expect a similar margin profile in 2024, expanding when growth reaccelerates.
Mews is up 13 percent on a SEK fair value basis in the quarter, with a valuation in line with its Q1 2024 funding round. The company grew revenues by more than 60 percent in 2023, and surpassed USD 100m in annualized net revenue.

Our Platform & Marketplaces investments span businesses such as Oda with gross margins in the 30s, to businesses like Betterment with gross margins in the high 70s. We therefore benchmark our investments against bespoke peer sets. Irrespective of business model, many of these investments share exposure to consumer spend and e-commerce. These areas and our investees faced significant growth headwinds in 2023. We expect headwinds to persist in 2024, and our financial projections reflect this.
Betterment is primarily benchmarked against digital banks and wealth management platforms such as Avanza (AZA.ST) and Nordnet (SAVE. ST). Assets Under Managment ("AUM") have increased materially over the last 18 months and now exceeds USD 46bn, in part driven by significant growth in its cash deposit product. AUM has grown by nearly 40 percent over the last twelve months, and revenue growth has been meaningfully stronger. Meanwhile, the company has contained cash consumption to a minimum. An underlying 9 percent write-up due to the company's strong performance and stable peers is muted by the effect of liquidation preferences this quarter.
Job&Talent is benchmarked against job platforms Fiverr (FVRR) and Upwork (UPWK), and marketplaces such as Airbnb (ABNB) and Uber (UBER). The latter are increasingly relevant, considering the risks investors see for the rapid growth in AI and LLMs to impact the former negatively. In the quarter, our valuation remains relatively unchanged, with stable peers and financial expectations.
Instabee's 2024 has started in line with our expectations, which were meaningfully recalibrated in the previous quarter. We benchmark our valuation against a set of businesses spanning last-mile logistics operator InPost (INPST. AS) and food delivery marketplace DoorDash (DASH). In the quarter, stable peers and unchanged expectations warrants a flat valuation as we await more consistent signals from the company's underlying Nordic e-commerce market. Our assessed fair value implies an equity value of SEK 4.3bn, and corresponds to a 27 percent discount on multiple to InPost, based on our conservative near-term financial expectations. The SEK 833m fair value of our total investment is split between 551m in our equity investment and 282m in our convertible investment.

Our Climate Tech category consists of companies with a range of business models but with a shared aim of disrupting carbon-intensive sectors.
H2 Green Steel ("H2GS") is targeting the USD 1tn global steel industry with an integrated production line that reduces GHG emissions by up to 95 percent compared to traditional steel production. In early 2024, the company announced having raised EUR 4.2bn in debt financing. This, together with EUR 2.1bn in total equity funding and 250m of grant funding, means that the first phase of the Boden plant is fully funded. The plant is expected to start production in 2026 and half of the projected initial annual volumes of 2.5 million tonnes in this first phase have been presold in binding five- to seven-year offtake agreements, which represent SEK 100bn in revenues based on normalised steel prices. We calibrate our valuation using several methods, primarily discounted cash flows and forward EBITDA multiples benchmarked against a broad peer set. Directly comparable companies are scarce, hence our peer set includes both companies pioneering decarbonisation as well as steel and premium metal producers. For the latter group, we take into account aspects impacting comparability. These include these businesses' negative climate impact and generally outdated production facilities that drive high operating capex, which together with increasing CO2 regulation weigh on the valuations of traditional steel companies. Medium-term expectations, and thereby our valuation, are sensitive to H2GS meeting a set of milestones such as fulfilling debt conditions, on-plan capex spend and effectiveness, and a maintained timeline to production start. Timely progress against these milestones, or a lack thereof, will impact our valuation positively or negatively. In this quarter, the fair value of our 3 percent shareholding amounts to SEK 1.3bn, which is in line with the valuation level in the company's late 2023 funding round on a euro basis.
Solugen produces low carbon, bio-based chemicals through a unique chemoenzymatic process using non-fossil fuel feedstock, which is greener, cheaper and safer than traditional chemical production. The company has a robust pipeline of commercial chemicals with a combined annual revenue potential of USD 20bn across application areas such as agriculture, energy, water treatment, construction, cleaning and personal care. The company is on a path to generate more than USD 800m in revenue by 2030. Solugen's first commercial plant has been operating since 2022 and a second plant co-located with its feedstock provider, ADM, will start production in 2025. We assess the fair value of our stake using several valuation methods, primarily discounted cash flows and forward-looking revenue multiples on the company's probabilityweighted chemical pipeline relative to listed biotech companies and chemical producers. The valuation of our 2 percent shareholding amounts to SEK 535m, up 6 percent in the quarter due to currency movements.
Aira, with its end-to-end solution for intelligent heat pumps, is valued using revenue multiples of home energy product manufacturers such as Nibe (NIBE-B) and Lennox (LII), and energy installers such as Sunrun (RUN) and Sunnova (NOVA). We also reference valuations in recent fundraises in the private renewable energy equity market such as Enpal and 1komma5. Aira has ambitious expansion plans across Italy, Germany and the UK, and aims to serve 5 million homes within the next decade. The company has recently commenced production of their own intelligent heat pumps in Poland. The valuation of our 7 percent ownership amounts to SEK 361m, up 4 percent due to currency movements. The valuation is in line with that of Aira's EUR 145m financing round led by Kinnevik, Altor and Temasek, that fully closed in January 2024.
Agreena operates a platform with measurement, reporting and verification capabilities that enables farmers to sell carbon credits as they transition to regnerative agriculture practices. They also help food companies monitor their supply chain's carbon footprint through a subscription service. We benchmark our valuation of the company against broad sets of high-growth SaaS companies and marketplaces, due to Agreena's businesses lines similarities and gross margin profile. More than 1,000 farmers across 17 countries partner with Agreena, and 2 million hectares of farmland are registered on the company's platform. Our assessed valuation corresponds to an NTM revenue multiple of 4.4x, discounted relative to public peers due to Agreena's smaller scale and the company not yet having its carbon credits certified by a key external organisation. The fair value of our 16 percent stake amounts to SEK 345m and increases by 4 percent in the quarter due to currency tailwinds.

Kinnevik currently has no bank loans outstanding, and its bank facilities when drawn carry variable interest rates. Debt capital market financing typically consists of commercial paper and senior unsecured bonds. Commercial paper may be issued with a maximum tenor of twelve months under Kinnevik's SEK 5bn commercial paper program, and senior unsecured bonds may be issued with a minimum tenor of twelve months under Kinnevik's SEK 6bn medium-term note programme.
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 166m 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 March 2024, 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 2.7 years. The carrying amount of the liabilities is a reasonable approximation of fair value as they bear variable interest rates.

Kinnevik applies the Esma Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures (APM). An APM is a financial measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows, other than a financial measure defined or specified in the applicable financial reporting framework. For Kinnevik's consolidated accounts, this typically means IFRS.
APMs are disclosed when they complement performance measures defined by IFRS. The basis for disclosed APMs is that they are used by management to evaluate the financial performance and therefore believed to give analysts and other stakeholders valuable information. Definitions of all APMs used are found below and reconciliations can be found on Kinnevik's corporate website www.kinnevik.com.
