Communiqué from Industrivärden's 2020 Annual General Meeting

Industrivärden’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) was held on April 24, 2020, at the Grand Hôtel in Stockholm, at which the following resolutions were made, among other items of business.

  • The AGM voted in favor of the proposal to not pay any dividend for the 2019 financial year. The Board has announced its intention, if the conditions exist, to summon an Extraordinary General Meeting in the autumn to decide on payment of a dividend.
  • Pär Boman, Christian Caspar, Bengt Kjell, Fredrik Lundberg, Annika Lundius, Lars Pettersson and Helena Stjernholm were re-elected as directors on Industrivärden's board. Marika Fredriksson was elected as a new director. Nina Linander, who had declined re-election, left the Board in connection with the AGM. In addition, Fredrik Lundberg was re-elected as Chairman of the Board.
  • The AGM voted in favor of unchanged directors’ fees in accordance with the Nominating Committee’s amended recommendation.
  • The AGM resolved to re-elect Deloitte AB as the auditing firm for a term until the end of the 2021 AGM.
  • The AGM approved the Board’s proposal for new guidelines for compensation of senior executives.
  • The AGM voted in favor of the Board’s proposal for a long-term share savings program for employees of Industrivärden. The share savings program makes up the form of long-term variable salary and has the same basic structure as the program that was approved by the 2019 AGM, but has been adjusted to achieve a greater differentiation and larger scope for grants of shares among the program’s various categories of participants.

The weekly navigator

From the past week, we highlight: 1) Investor bought shares in EQT for the first time since its 2019 IPO; 2) ahead of Kinnevik’s 12 May AGM, we highlight the return of Cristina Stenbeck as chair and the potential for share buybacks at a 40% discount to NAV; and 3) Lundbergs bought shares in its existing holdings for SEK512m.

From the past week, we highlight: 1) we lowered our target price for Latour to SEK300 (340) following a Q1 report with a slight NAV decline but strong organic order intake growth; 2) Investor bought 6.3m Ericsson shares, and we highlight its successful top-ups in the name; 3) insider purchases at Investor are in our view a signal to look beyond a relatively small discount to NAV; and 4) Flat Capital reported Q1 NAV down 1% QOQ.

From the past week, we highlight: 1) we lowered our target price in Investor to SEK320 following a 9% write-down of Patricia Industries in its Q1 report; 2) we reduced our target price in Kinnevik to SEK100 to reflect macroeconomic headwinds, but remain positive ahead of Cristina Stenbeck’s return as chair; 3) we cut our VEF target price to SEK2.5 on FX movements and see re-rating potential from e.g. ongoing buybacks; and 4) we lowered our target price in Flerie to SEK57 given worsening funding ...

From the past week, we highlight: 1) we are encouraged by the return of Cristina Stenbeck as chair of Kinnevik, and believe it could result in a lower discount to NAV; 2) VEF completed a milestone partial exit of Juspay at a 37% IRR, putting it on track to pay down debt and repurchase shares at a 50% discount to NAV in the near term; and 3) for Industrivärden, we recently reiterated our HOLD and lowered our target price to SEK345 (400), as we see risk to the earnings outlook of its portfolio com...

Industrivärden (Hold, TP: SEK345.00) - Caught in a market headwind

We remain on the sidelines following Industrivärden’s Q1 report, reiterating our HOLD but with a lowered SEK345 (400) target price. While this reflects forward NAV growth of 26%, we have raised our target discount to NAV to 20% to account for the current macro situation (potential near-term volatility in its portfolio companies’ earnings outlook). We see clearer near-term value in its main owner Lundbergs given its defensive portfolio characteristics, a lower portfolio-weighted US exposure and a...
