Kinnevik’s Interim Report 1 January – 31 March 2024
”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 growth-focused 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.”
Georgi Ganev, CEO of Kinnevik
