Key Events

• Core companies performed in line with expectations, on average growing revenues by over 40 percent in the quarter with 5 percentage points improvements in EBITDA margins
• Mews raised EUR 70m from new investor Tiger Global alongside existing investors including Kinnevik. The raise reinforces Mews’ position at the forefront of the hospitality industry and fuels continued expansion
• In line with our strategy to focus our portfolio, we released capital from three non-core financial services investments - Sure, Lunar and XYB
• Transcarent closed its acquisition of Accolade in early April, paving a path for the combined company to become a more meaningful contributor to NAV
• The Nomination Committee proposed Kinnevik’s lead shareholder Cristina Stenbeck as new Chairman of the Board. In addition, Camilla Giesecke, Henrik Lundin and Rubin Ritter are proposed as new Board members

Investment Activities

• SEK 800m invested in the quarter, mainly into focus companies Mews, Recursion and Agreena
• Supported Transcarent’s funding round financing the acquisition of Accolade with a SEK 201m investment
• Smaller early-stage stealth software/AI investment, sourced from our network and founded by a former core company operator
• EUR 65.5m in expected proceeds from monetization of non-core financial services investments, of which EUR 32.8m (SEK 366m) recognized as divested in the quarter. Remaining half of euro-denominated proceeds is conditional on certain future return criteria, and carried in our net asset value at a discounted valuation of SEK 58m. Total impact on Net Asset Value amounts to negative SEK 397m

Financial Position

• Net Asset Value of SEK 36.2bn (SEK 131 per share), down 8 percent in the quarter (down 2 percent in constant currencies)
• Private portfolio down 10 percent driven by multiple contraction and significant currency depreciation (down 3 percent in constant currencies), somewhat offset by continued robust operational progress
• Net cash of SEK 10.5bn at end of the first quarter, with limited follow-on investment needs in the portfolio
• SEK 1.5bn in bonds repaid upon maturity during the first quarter

Organization

• Akhil Chainwala, Senior Investment Director and member of the Kinnevik management team, has decided to leave Kinnevik to set up his own India-focused investment firm. Going forward, he will serve as Advisor to Kinnevik. In this capacity, he will continue his association with TravelPerk and Mews, and continue to give input into our software strategy
