NET ASSET VALUEnet asset value– increased by 19.1 percent in 2102The Group’s net asset value on 31 December 2012amounted to SEK 162 (142) per share. This is an increase of19.1 percent, adjusted for paid dividends. This can be comparedwith the development on the Nasdaq OMX Stockholm(SIXRX) which increased by 16.6 percent in 2012.As previously described, <strong>Latour</strong> consists in part of whollyowned industrial operations and in part an investment portfolio.The market value of the listed holdings is simple tocalculate since there is a stipulated market price available. Todetermine the value of the wholly owned industrial operationsis more complicated. This is because the market value,the price potential buyers are willing to pay, is not as welldefined. A description of the method that <strong>Latour</strong> uses tocalculate the value can be found to the right.two of the largest holdings wholly owned<strong>Latour</strong>'s three largest holdings, based on net asset value, areAssa Abloy, Swegon, <strong>Latour</strong> Industries, Securitas and Sweco.It is worth noting that two of the five largest holdings arewholly owned. All in all the wholly owned industrial operationscorrespond to 35 percent of the total consolidated netasset value if using the value derived through the calculationmethod. nhultafOrs grOup 6 %,read more page 22.Other hOldings 2 %,read more page 49.latOur industries 9 %,read more page 26.assa ablOy 33 %,read more page 40.specma grOup 3 %,read more page 30.swegOn 18 %,read more page 34.SEK25,7billiontOmra 6 %,read more page 48.swecO 8 %,read more page 47.securitas 9 %,read more page 46.nObia 2 %,read more page 45.fagerhult 4 %,read more page 41.hms netwOrks 1 %,read more page 42.lOOmis 3 %,read more page 43.nederman 2 %,read more page 44.investment portfolio holdings.

Atthe end of 2012 there were 23 listed companies that wereestimated to meet the criteria and which were thereforeincluded in the calculation of <strong>Latour</strong>’s net asset value. CALCULATION OF EBIT-MULTIPLESWhen all comparable objects have been identified a reviewis made of the companies’ EBIT-multiples. An EBIT-multipleis based on the company’s EV (Enterprise Value). The EV iscalculated by taking the market value and increasing it bythe company’s net debt (see Definitions, page 88). The EV isthen divided by the operating result (EBIT). A company thathas a share price of SEK 90 m, a net debt of SEK 10 m andan operating result of SEK 10 m per share will consequentlyhave an EBIT-multiple of 10. CONVERSION TO MULTIPLE SPANSWhen an EBIT-multiple has been calculated for each companythey are weighted group-wise, so that each businessarea receives its own multiple span. The reason a span isnecessary is because there are variations in the listed companies’valuations, which lead to different EBIT-multiples. Let ussay that there are two comparable objects for the Swegonbusiness area, where one has a multiple of 6 and the otherhas a multiple of 10. The EBIT-multiple used to calculate thevalue of the Swegon business area is in the span 6–10. CO<strong>MB</strong>INING THE NET ASSET VALUE OF THEWHOLLY OWNED INDUSTRIAL OPERATIONSWhen the spans for the EBIT-multiples are established avaluation of each business area can be made. This is doneby first calculating a 12 month rolling operating result (EBIT)for each business area, based on the company’s structureat the end of the period of comparison. This figure is thenmultiplied by the EBIT-multiple. An example: Let us say thatthe Swegon business area shows a 12 month rolling operatingresult (EBIT) of SEK 100 m. If the EBIT-multiple 6–10 isthen applied on the result we will end up with a value of SEK0.6–1.0 billion. When these calculations have been made forall the business areas the result is combined for a total valueof the wholly owned industrial operations in one span. CO<strong>MB</strong>INED WITH THE VALUE OF THE LISTEDHOLDINGSThe share price is first established for each individual holdingat the end of the period in order to arrive at a net asset valuefor the listed holdings. This is multiplied by the number ofshares owned in each listed company. These share prices leadto a net asset value for the listed holdings. This is then combinedwith the net asset value of the wholly owned operations,which has been calculated into a span in steps 1–4.This total, together with other assets and net debt, is the netasset value for <strong>Latour</strong>, also given as a span. nLATOUR ANNUAL REPORT 2012 19
