DEFINITION OF NET WORTH The difference between the Group's assets and liabilities, when the Listed Portfolio is included at its market value and wholly owned subsidiaries are valued at their estimated market value, although no lower than adjusted equity. The valuation principle for Industrial Operations is to apply a p/e ratio each quarter on a moving 12-month basis to the profit after net financial items, less tax. Adjustment is made for once-for-all costs. The Affärsvärlden index for the building and civil engineering industries at the same date is used as a guide when estimating the p/e ratio. The p/e-ratio used corresponds to 75% of the comparing index.
