CEO’S COMMENTS


During the first quarter Axfood continued to show stable sales and good profitability. Despite a steadily
weakening economy and mounting price competition, all businesses performed well.

Axfood’s sales rose 2.5% to SEK 7,682 m (7,495). Operating profit was SEK 234 m (240), with an operating
margin of 3.0% (3.2%). Compared with the corresponding period a year ago, sales and operating profit were
adversely affected by the fact that 2008 was a leap year and Easter weekend came during the first quarter in
2008.

Hemköp’s operating profit amounted to SEK 13 m (–7), entailing the second consecutive quarter with a
positive operating result. The improvement is mainly attributable to good cost control and a higher gross
profit. Hemköp is thus in better shape than a year ago, and the prospects for achieving a positive operating
result for the full year 2009 have been strengthened. The pace will remain high in the ongoing action
programme for improving and strengthening underperforming stores. During the period, one store was
converted to Willys and one was closed.

Willys continues to defend its leading position in the discount segment. Sales rose 4.4%, earnings were level
with the same period a year ago, and the operating margin was 4.0% (4.2%). However, sales growth was
affected by adverse calendar effects and greater competition. An additional two stores have been adapted to
the new generation of Willys, which now includes 17 stores.

PrisXtra, which was acquired at the end of January 2008, continues to prioritize its integration work with
Axfood, and the various projects have proceeded according to plan. The two largest stores continue to be
hurt by traffic re-routing and road construction associated with the construction of the Norra länken traffic
connector.

Axfood Närlivs is performing well despite fierce competition. Sales remained favourable for the cash and
carry business but were dampened somewhat due to a decrease in the number of Tempo stores compared
with a year ago.

Dagab continues to show a high level of delivery reliability. The implementation of Autoorder, the new
system for automated store restocking, is proceeding according to plan.

In February the new, central meat packing plant that is run by Danish Crown on behalf of Axfood, was
inaugurated. This gives Axfood full control over the entire process, from purchasing to packaging and
distribution, which is enabling us to offer our customers higher quality and a more varied meat selection in
our stores.

The price trend and market outlook for the rest of 2009 continue to be difficult to judge. This is in part
because the weak Swedish krona is pushing up food prices, and in part because consumers are growing
increasingly price-conscious on account of the weak economy. We have not yet noticed any direct effect from
this on shoppers’ food purchasing habits, however, there is a tendency for sales of attractively priced private
label products to increase. There is also a clear trend in the market to highlight prices in marketing.


                                                                                                             3
INTERIM REPORT AXFOOD AB – 1 JANUARY-31 MARCH 2009




Axfood is well equipped for a weak economic climate. The long-term work on developing and improving the
various concepts continues as planned. Flexibility and adaptation to changes in the external environment and
to customer demands are a part of this. Our goal – through continued strong cost control, an effective price
and product range strategy and greater efficiency – is to attain a higher market share as well as profitable
growth.

Axfood’s goal for 2009 is to achieve an operating profit of at least SEK 1 billion.

to SEK -94 m (-72). Cash and cash equivalents held by the Group amounted to SEK 160 m, compared with
SEK 312 m in December 2008. Interest-bearing assets amounted to SEK 177 m at the end of the period,

INTERIM REPORT AXFOOD AB – 1 JANUARY-31 MARCH 2009



STORE OPERATIONS
WILLYS
Sales for Willys totalled SEK 4,186 m (4,009) for the period January–March, an increase of 4.4% compared
with the same period a year ago. Like-for-like sales rose 0.3% during the same period. Sales growth was hurt
by calendar effects compared with the first quarter a year ago.
    Operating profit for the period was SEK 167 m (167). The operating margin was 4.0% (4.2%).
    The private label share as of March was 25.1% (22.2%) for Willys and 29.5% (25.8%) for Willys hemma.
    Willys continues to develop its leading position in the discount segment. An additional two stores have
been adapted to the new generation of Willys. This successful project currently involves 17 stores.
    During the quarter, one Hemköp store was converted to Willys, one Willys hemma opened, and a Willys
store in Södertälje was totally destroyed by a fire. Fortunately, no one was injured and the store was insured at
full value.
    The Willys chain comprises 141 wholly owned stores, including 32 Willys hemma stores.


HEMKÖP
Sales for Hemköp’s stores – both wholly owned and franchises – decreased during the period January–March
by 2.8%. Sales for Group-owned Hemköp stores totalled SEK 1,341 m (1,412) during the period, a decrease
of 5.0%. Like-for-like sales for Group-owned stores decreased by 5.4% during the period.
    Sales for franchise stores totalled SEK 929 m (923), an increase of 0.7%, with a 0.5% decrease in like-for-
like sales.
   Operating profit for the period was SEK 13 m (-7), and the operating margin was 1.0% (-0.5%).
   Hemköp has posted a positive operating result for the second consecutive quarter. This is mainly
attributable to better cost control and a higher gross profit. The prospects of achieving an operating profit for
the full year have thereby improved. The pace of the ongoing action programme to improve and strengthen
underperforming stores will continue to be high.
   Hemköp’s new loyalty card continues to grow, and by the end of the period, 241,000 cards were in issue.
The goal for 2009 is to reach 300,000 cardholders. This is a key part of the long-term work to boost customer
loyalty and thus sales and market shares.
   Hemköp’s private label share (incl. franchise stores) was 15.9% as of March (13.8%).
   During the period, one store was converted to Willys and two stores were closed – one that was Group-
owned and one that was proprietor-operated. Hemköp had 166 stores at the end of the period, of which 78
were Group-owned.


PRISXTRA
PrisXtra’s sales amounted to SEK 194 m during the period January–March (February–March 2008: 124).
Operating profit for the period January–March was SEK 0 m (February–March 2008: 2), and the operating
margin for the period was 0.0% (1.6%).
    PrisXtra, which has been consolidated by Axfood since February 2008, continues to prioritize its
integration work with Axfood. Progress of the various projects has been according to plan. Sales for two of
the largest stores are still being hurt by the traffic re-routing and road work associated with the construction
of the Norra länken traffic connector. The newly established store that opened in October 2008 has shown
very favourable performance from the start.
  PrisXtra currently has six stores plus an online store in the Stockholm area.



                                                                                                               7
INTERIM REPORT AXFOOD AB – 1 JANUARY-31 MARCH 2009



AXFOOD PARTIHANDEL (WHOLESALING)
DAGAB AND AXFOOD NÄRLIVS
Dagab’s sales for the period January–March totalled SEK 5,669 m (5,505). Operating profit for the period
was SEK 24 m (38). The operating margin for the period was 0.4% (0.7%). Dagab has continued – according
to plan – the implementation of Autoorder, the automated store restocking system. After Willys, the work on
implementing the system at Hemköp has now been started. Dagab continued to show a very high level of
delivery reliability, at 97.1%.

Sales for Axfood Närlivs during the period January–March totalled SEK 1,242 m (1,256). Operating profit
for the period was SEK 16 m (10), and the operating margin was 1.3% (0.8%). Performance is satisfactory,
despite fierce competition. The sales trend has remained favourable for the cash and carry operation, while
sales overall were dampened somewhat due to a decrease in the number of Tempo stores compared with a
year ago.


SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
In the course of its operations the Axfood Group is exposed to both financial and business risks. Financial
risks include liquidity risk, interest rate risk and currency risk, while business risks include competitive risk
and operating risk.
   In late 2008 the Swedish krona weakened against both the euro (EUR) and the US dollar (USD), which are
the currencies that affect Axfood the most. This weakening continued into the start of 2009, after which the
krona recovered towards the end of the first quarter to the levels that prevailed at year-end 2008. Despite the
fact that Axfood’s principle is to hedge all purchases in foreign currency at the time of order, a long-term
weakening of the krona leads to higher purchase prices. This applies both for directly imported goods (which
in 2008 accounted for approximately 5% of Axfood’s total purchases) and for goods purchased in Sweden
and where the suppliers are dependent on imports to varying degrees. The opportunity for Axfood to
compensate higher purchase prices stemming from currency movements with higher prices towards
consumers depends on the overall competitive situation in the market. Axfood’s competitors are exposed in
the same way as Axfood to the weakening of the Swedish krona.
   The Parent Company is responsible for the Group’s external financing and is thereby exposed to liquidity
risk, interest rate risk and currency risk. The goal of Axfood’s financial management is to limit the short-term
impact of fluctuations in the financial markets on the Group’s earnings and cash flow. Toward this end,
Axfood has a finance policy that regulates liquidity risk, interest rate risk and currency risk. In other respects,
the Parent Company conducts holding company activities for the Group, including central functions, and is
not exposed to risks other than indirectly via its subsidiaries.
   Axfood works continuously with risk identification and assessment. One of the most significant operating
risks that Axfood has identified in its safety analysis work is a total loss, such as from a fire at one of the
central warehouses in Jordbro or Backa. Major emphasis is put on preventive work, and the organization for
this is well-developed, as is the Company’s planning to maintain operating continuity in the event of an
unforeseen event.
   For a thorough account of the risks that affect the Group, please refer to the 2008 Annual Report.


ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Axfood continues to strengthen its work with sustainability issues. In cooperation with other members of the
trade organization Svensk Dagligvaruhandel, Axfood is working on setting long-term goals for reducing

                                                                                                                 8
INTERIM REPORT AXFOOD AB – 1 JANUARY-31 MARCH 2009



carbon dioxide emissions, among other things. Axfood is also participating in a pilot study on the use of
biogas-powered delivery vehicles.
   In its day-to-day work, Axfood is actively working in three primary areas in an effort to reduce its
environmental impact:
    - transports to and from stores, warehouses and suppliers,
    - sorting of waste in all operations, and
    - energy use in stores, warehouses and offices.
To strengthen internal work in these areas, an organization of ten environmental coordinators has been built
up in Axfood’s various companies. In addition, Axfood has joined the Business Leadership Initiative on
Climate Change (BLICC) – as the first retail food company – in an effort to work together with other major
companies on reducing climate-affecting emissions.


PARENT COMPANY
Other operating revenue for the Parent Company during the period January–March amounted to SEK 41 m
(40). After selling expenses, administrative expenses and other operating expenses, totalling SEK 46 m (53),
and SEK -8 m (-10) in net financial items, the result after financial items was SEK -13 m (-23). Capital
expenditures during the period amounted to SEK 0 m (401).
   Cash and cash equivalents held by the Parent Company totalled SEK 0 m, compared with SEK 0 m in
December 2008. Interest-bearing net debt was SEK 878 m at the end of the period, compared with SEK
1,532 m in December 2008.
   The Parent Company has no significant transactions with related parties, other than transactions with
subsidiaries.

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

GROUP
This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The same
accounting principles and methods of calculation have been used as in the most recent annual report, except
for with respect to the points described below.
   In order to prepare the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
the Board and company management make estimations and assumptions that affect the Company’s result and
position as well as other disclosures in general. These estimations and assumptions are based on historical
experience and are reviewed on a regular basis.
  Effective 1 January 2009, a new standard took effect: IFRS 8 Operating Segments. IFRS 8 is strictly an
information standard, which is why it does not have any effect on the Group’s statements of comprehensive
income, financial position, cash flows and changes in equity. The operating segments are unchanged
compared with the most recent annual report. In addition to IFRS 8 are amendments to IAS 1 Presentation
of Financial Statements, IFRS 2 Share-based Payment, IAS 23 Borrowing Costs, IAS 32 Financial
Instruments: Presentation, IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes, and IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate
Financial Statements – Cost of an Investment in a Subsidiary, Jointly-Controlled Entity or Associate. These
amendments have no effect on Axfood’s statements of comprehensive income, financial position, cash flows
and changes in equity.
  The amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, IFRIC 15 Agreements for the
Construction of Real Estate, and the amendments to IFRIC 16 Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign
Operation, take effect as from 1 January 2009 but have not yet been endorsed for application within the EU,
and therefore have not been applied.
                                                                                                          9
INTERIM REPORT AXFOOD AB – 1 JANUARY-31 MARCH 2009




PARENT COMPANY
The same accounting principles and calculation methods as in the most recent annual report have been used.
The Parent Company complies with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and recommendation RFR 2.2 –
Reporting for Legal Entities, issued by the Swedish Financial Reporting Board (RFR). Application of RFR 2.2
entails that in interim reporting for legal entities, the Parent Company applies all IFRSs and interpretations

  • 3. INTERIM REPORT AXFOOD AB – 1 JANUARY-31 MARCH 2009 CEO’S COMMENTS During the first quarter Axfood continued to show stable sales and good profitability. Despite a steadily weakening economy and mounting price competition, all businesses performed well. Axfood’s sales rose 2.5% to SEK 7,682 m (7,495). Operating profit was SEK 234 m (240), with an operating margin of 3.0% (3.2%). Compared with the corresponding period a year ago, sales and operating profit were adversely affected by the fact that 2008 was a leap year and Easter weekend came during the first quarter in 2008. Hemköp’s operating profit amounted to SEK 13 m (–7), entailing the second consecutive quarter with a positive operating result. The improvement is mainly attributable to good cost control and a higher gross profit. Hemköp is thus in better shape than a year ago, and the prospects for achieving a positive operating result for the full year 2009 have been strengthened. The pace will remain high in the ongoing action programme for improving and strengthening underperforming stores. During the period, one store was converted to Willys and one was closed. Willys continues to defend its leading position in the discount segment. Sales rose 4.4%, earnings were level with the same period a year ago, and the operating margin was 4.0% (4.2%). However, sales growth was affected by adverse calendar effects and greater competition. An additional two stores have been adapted to the new generation of Willys, which now includes 17 stores. PrisXtra, which was acquired at the end of January 2008, continues to prioritize its integration work with Axfood, and the various projects have proceeded according to plan. The two largest stores continue to be hurt by traffic re-routing and road construction associated with the construction of the Norra länken traffic connector. Axfood Närlivs is performing well despite fierce competition. Sales remained favourable for the cash and carry business but were dampened somewhat due to a decrease in the number of Tempo stores compared with a year ago. Dagab continues to show a high level of delivery reliability. The implementation of Autoorder, the new system for automated store restocking, is proceeding according to plan. In February the new, central meat packing plant that is run by Danish Crown on behalf of Axfood, was inaugurated. This gives Axfood full control over the entire process, from purchasing to packaging and distribution, which is enabling us to offer our customers higher quality and a more varied meat selection in our stores. The price trend and market outlook for the rest of 2009 continue to be difficult to judge. This is in part because the weak Swedish krona is pushing up food prices, and in part because consumers are growing increasingly price-conscious on account of the weak economy. We have not yet noticed any direct effect from this on shoppers’ food purchasing habits, however, there is a tendency for sales of attractively priced private label products to increase. There is also a clear trend in the market to highlight prices in marketing. 3
  • 4. INTERIM REPORT AXFOOD AB – 1 JANUARY-31 MARCH 2009 Axfood is well equipped for a weak economic climate. The long-term work on developing and improving the various concepts continues as planned. Flexibility and adaptation to changes in the external environment and to customer demands are a part of this. Our goal – through continued strong cost control, an effective price and product range strategy and greater efficiency – is to attain a higher market share as well as profitable growth. Axfood’s goal for 2009 is to achieve an operating profit of at least SEK 1 billion. Anders Strålman President and CEO 4

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES Total capital expenditures during the period amounted to SEK 135 m (562), of which SEK 3 m (400) pertained to acquisitions of businesses. In the preceding year, PrisXtra was acquired during the first quarter. In addition, SEK 68 m (110) pertained to investments in non-current assets in retail operations, SEK 21 m (23) to investments in non-current assets in wholesale operations, and SEK 37 m (23) to IT development. FINANCIAL POSITION Cash flow from operating activities for the period before paid tax was SEK 478 m (240). Paid tax amounted to SEK -94 m (-72). Cash and cash equivalents held by the Group amounted to SEK 160 m, compared with SEK 312 m in December 2008.

  • 7. INTERIM REPORT AXFOOD AB – 1 JANUARY-31 MARCH 2009 STORE OPERATIONS WILLYS Sales for Willys totalled SEK 4,186 m (4,009) for the period January–March, an increase of 4.4% compared with the same period a year ago. Like-for-like sales rose 0.3% during the same period. Sales growth was hurt by calendar effects compared with the first quarter a year ago. Operating profit for the period was SEK 167 m (167). The operating margin was 4.0% (4.2%). The private label share as of March was 25.1% (22.2%) for Willys and 29.5% (25.8%) for Willys hemma. Willys continues to develop its leading position in the discount segment. An additional two stores have been adapted to the new generation of Willys. This successful project currently involves 17 stores. During the quarter, one Hemköp store was converted to Willys, one Willys hemma opened, and a Willys store in Södertälje was totally destroyed by a fire. Fortunately, no one was injured and the store was insured at full value. The Willys chain comprises 141 wholly owned stores, including 32 Willys hemma stores. HEMKÖP Sales for Hemköp’s stores – both wholly owned and franchises – decreased during the period January–March by 2.8%. Sales for Group-owned Hemköp stores totalled SEK 1,341 m (1,412) during the period, a decrease of 5.0%. Like-for-like sales for Group-owned stores decreased by 5.4% during the period. Sales for franchise stores totalled SEK 929 m (923), an increase of 0.7%, with a 0.5% decrease in like-for- like sales. Operating profit for the period was SEK 13 m (-7), and the operating margin was 1.0% (-0.5%). Hemköp has posted a positive operating result for the second consecutive quarter. This is mainly attributable to better cost control and a higher gross profit. The prospects of achieving an operating profit for the full year have thereby improved. The pace of the ongoing action programme to improve and strengthen underperforming stores will continue to be high. Hemköp’s new loyalty card continues to grow, and by the end of the period, 241,000 cards were in issue. The goal for 2009 is to reach 300,000 cardholders. This is a key part of the long-term work to boost customer loyalty and thus sales and market shares. Hemköp’s private label share (incl. franchise stores) was 15.9% as of March (13.8%). During the period, one store was converted to Willys and two stores were closed – one that was Group- owned and one that was proprietor-operated. Hemköp had 166 stores at the end of the period, of which 78 were Group-owned. PRISXTRA PrisXtra’s sales amounted to SEK 194 m during the period January–March (February–March 2008: 124). Operating profit for the period January–March was SEK 0 m (February–March 2008: 2), and the operating margin for the period was 0.0% (1.6%). PrisXtra, which has been consolidated by Axfood since February 2008, continues to prioritize its integration work with Axfood. Progress of the various projects has been according to plan. Sales for two of the largest stores are still being hurt by the traffic re-routing and road work associated with the construction of the Norra länken traffic connector. The newly established store that opened in October 2008 has shown very favourable performance from the start. PrisXtra currently has six stores plus an online store in the Stockholm area. 7
  • 8. INTERIM REPORT AXFOOD AB – 1 JANUARY-31 MARCH 2009 AXFOOD PARTIHANDEL (WHOLESALING) DAGAB AND AXFOOD NÄRLIVS Dagab’s sales for the period January–March totalled SEK 5,669 m (5,505). Operating profit for the period was SEK 24 m (38). The operating margin for the period was 0.4% (0.7%). Dagab has continued – according to plan – the implementation of Autoorder, the automated store restocking system. After Willys, the work on implementing the system at Hemköp has now been started. Dagab continued to show a very high level of delivery reliability, at 97.1%. Sales for Axfood Närlivs during the period January–March totalled SEK 1,242 m (1,256). Operating profit for the period was SEK 16 m (10), and the operating margin was 1.3% (0.8%). Performance is satisfactory, despite fierce competition. The sales trend has remained favourable for the cash and carry operation, while sales overall were dampened somewhat due to a decrease in the number of Tempo stores compared with a year ago. SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES In the course of its operations the Axfood Group is exposed to both financial and business risks. Financial risks include liquidity risk, interest rate risk and currency risk, while business risks include competitive risk and operating risk. In late 2008 the Swedish krona weakened against both the euro (EUR) and the US dollar (USD), which are the currencies that affect Axfood the most. This weakening continued into the start of 2009, after which the krona recovered towards the end of the first quarter to the levels that prevailed at year-end 2008. Despite the fact that Axfood’s principle is to hedge all purchases in foreign currency at the time of order, a long-term weakening of the krona leads to higher purchase prices. This applies both for directly imported goods (which in 2008 accounted for approximately 5% of Axfood’s total purchases) and for goods purchased in Sweden and where the suppliers are dependent on imports to varying degrees. The opportunity for Axfood to compensate higher purchase prices stemming from currency movements with higher prices towards consumers depends on the overall competitive situation in the market. Axfood’s competitors are exposed in the same way as Axfood to the weakening of the Swedish krona. The Parent Company is responsible for the Group’s external financing and is thereby exposed to liquidity risk, interest rate risk and currency risk. The goal of Axfood’s financial management is to limit the short-term impact of fluctuations in the financial markets on the Group’s earnings and cash flow. Toward this end, Axfood has a finance policy that regulates liquidity risk, interest rate risk and currency risk. In other respects, the Parent Company conducts holding company activities for the Group, including central functions, and is not exposed to risks other than indirectly via its subsidiaries. Axfood works continuously with risk identification and assessment. One of the most significant operating risks that Axfood has identified in its safety analysis work is a total loss, such as from a fire at one of the central warehouses in Jordbro or Backa. Major emphasis is put on preventive work, and the organization for this is well-developed, as is the Company’s planning to maintain operating continuity in the event of an unforeseen event. For a thorough account of the risks that affect the Group, please refer to the 2008 Annual Report. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT Axfood continues to strengthen its work with sustainability issues. In cooperation with other members of the trade organization Svensk Dagligvaruhandel, Axfood is working on setting long-term goals for reducing 8
  • 9. INTERIM REPORT AXFOOD AB – 1 JANUARY-31 MARCH 2009 carbon dioxide emissions, among other things. Axfood is also participating in a pilot study on the use of biogas-powered delivery vehicles. In its day-to-day work, Axfood is actively working in three primary areas in an effort to reduce its environmental impact: - transports to and from stores, warehouses and suppliers, - sorting of waste in all operations, and - energy use in stores, warehouses and offices. To strengthen internal work in these areas, an organization of ten environmental coordinators has been built up in Axfood’s various companies. In addition, Axfood has joined the Business Leadership Initiative on Climate Change (BLICC) – as the first retail food company – in an effort to work together with other major companies on reducing climate-affecting emissions. PARENT COMPANY Other operating revenue for the Parent Company during the period January–March amounted to SEK 41 m (40). After selling expenses, administrative expenses and other operating expenses, totalling SEK 46 m (53), and SEK -8 m (-10) in net financial items, the result after financial items was SEK -13 m (-23). Capital expenditures during the period amounted to SEK 0 m (401). Cash and cash equivalents held by the Parent Company totalled SEK 0 m, compared with SEK 0 m in December 2008. Interest-bearing net debt was SEK 878 m at the end of the period, compared with SEK 1,532 m in December 2008. The Parent Company has no significant transactions with related parties, other than transactions with subsidiaries. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GROUP This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The same accounting principles and methods of calculation have been used as in the most recent annual report, except for with respect to the points described below. In order to prepare the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Board and company management make estimations and assumptions that affect the Company’s result and position as well as other disclosures in general. These estimations and assumptions are based on historical experience and are reviewed on a regular basis. Effective 1 January 2009, a new standard took effect: IFRS 8 Operating Segments. IFRS 8 is strictly an information standard, which is why it does not have any effect on the Group’s statements of comprehensive income, financial position, cash flows and changes in equity. The operating segments are unchanged compared with the most recent annual report. In addition to IFRS 8 are amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements, IFRS 2 Share-based Payment, IAS 23 Borrowing Costs, IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation, IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes, and IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements – Cost of an Investment in a Subsidiary, Jointly-Controlled Entity or Associate. These amendments have no effect on Axfood’s statements of comprehensive income, financial position, cash flows and changes in equity. The amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, IFRIC 15 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate, and the amendments to IFRIC 16 Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation, take effect as from 1 January 2009 but have not yet been endorsed for application within the EU, and therefore have not been applied. 9
  • 10. INTERIM REPORT AXFOOD AB – 1 JANUARY-31 MARCH 2009 PARENT COMPANY The same accounting principles and calculation methods as in the most recent annual report have been used. The Parent Company complies with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and recommendation RFR 2.2 – Reporting for Legal Entities, issued by the Swedish Financial Reporting Board (RFR). Application of RFR 2.2 entails that in interim reporting for legal entities, the Parent Company applies all IFRSs and interpretations endorsed by the EU as far as practicable within the framework of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, the Pension Obligations Vesting Act, and taking into account the connection between accounting and taxation. As is the case for the Axfood Group, the new and amended standards that take effect on 1 January 2009 have no effect on the Parent Company’s income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement or shareholders’ equity. FUTURE OUTLOOK Axfood’s goal for 2009 is to achieve an operating profit of at least SEK 1 billion. NEXT REPORTING DATE The interim report for the period January–June 2009 will be released on 16 July 2009. Stockholm, 17 April 2009 Anders Strålman President and CEO This interim report has not been reviewed by the Company’s auditors.
