Enveda clinical milestone

Strong liquidity position and discretionary capacity
Kinnevik held SEK 7.5 billion in cash at quarter-end and expects to preserve cash to deliver roughly SEK 5 billion in discretionary investment capacity for the next CEO (after reserving ~SEK 1.0 billion for 5 years of management cash cost and capping follow-ons at SEK 1.5 billion).
Targeted cost reduction to improve stewardship of capital
Management cash cost baseline for 2025 was SEK 313 million (after removing non-cash items). Management targets SEK 200 million annual management cash cost (steady-state) — a ~35% reduction — with restructuring costs to be taken primarily in 2026 and target reached by 2027.
Disciplined follow-on capital policy
Board/management set a cap of no more than SEK 1.5 billion for follow-on investments in the existing portfolio (described as a cap rather than a budget) to preserve optionality and limit cash deployment into follow-ons.
Execution of capital allocation and selective investment
Q1 activity included completion of EUR 20 million participation in Mews' funding round; net investments in the quarter were SEK 116 million (after a real estate sale), keeping net cash largely unchanged at SEK 7.5 billion.
Improved reporting transparency and NAV detail
Reporting length reduced from ~40 to ~20 pages; NAV disclosure expanded to include last-transaction values and a historical pro forma NAV overview under the new sector categorization to enhance transparency.
Transaction evidence supporting valuations
Over the last 12 months, transactions covered ~46% of private portfolio by value, at a weighted average premium of 9% to the preceding NAV assessment — indicating continued market activity and validation points for valuations.
