Comment by the CEO The ICA Group s net sales increased during the second quarter and operating income excluding capital gains from property sales and impairment losses improved. The improvement was due to a strong result from ICA Sweden and higher income from ICA Bank. ICA Norway and Rimi Baltic reported lower second-quarter operating results, compared with last year and ICA Real Estate s operating income decreased due to lower capital gains compared with last year. ICA Sweden s sales increased during the second quarter partly thanks to the successful price reduction campaign that was launched in April. The higher sales contributed to an improved and strong operating income with an operating margin of 3.8 percent. The improved result was also due to lower costs for logistics and administration as well as an improved result within non-food. Our cost savings actions continue according to plan. In ICA Norway, sales increased during the quarter as a result of higher sales in comparable stores, primarily Maxi and converted Rimi stores, and the fact that more stores are now owned by ICA Norway. During the second quarter, 29 stores were converted to the new Rimi concept. In total, 50 stores have been converted during the first half-year with an average sales increase of over 10 percent. More Rimi stores will be converted during the year. ICA Norway s operating result declined during the second quarter compared to last year due to higher costs as a result of the turnaround process that we are implementing. Greater price competition in the market has put pressure on the margins. We are heading in the right direction with our turnaround process which is progressing according to plan. The measures now under way are expected to have an impact later in the year and as a whole will help ICA Norway to improve its operating result for the full-year 2009. Rimi Baltic s sales decreased in local currency during the second quarter. The economic instability and increased unemployment in the Baltic countries have affected consumer behavior and, among others, led to lower average purchases. We have therefore continued with our various sales activities at the same intensity. This has put pressure on margins, and operating income fell during the second quarter. Rimi Baltic has managed to quickly implement various cost-savings programs including, among others, significant staff cuts as well as salary cuts in order to adapt to the current situation. During the quarter we also continued to modernize 30 stores in the Supernetto discount concept. Despite the competition in the market, Rimi Baltic raised its market share in all countries from December 2008 to May 2009, according to the marketing research company Nielsen. We see this as a confirmation that we are undertaking the right activities in Rimi Baltic. The ICA Group s consolidated net sales rose during the first half-year and operating income excluding capital gains from property sales and impairment losses rose compared with last year. ICA Sweden showed a strong result during the first half year. Also ICA Bankens result improved although ICA Norway s and Rimi Baltic s operating income decreased. ICA Real Estate s operating income decreased due to lower capital gains than last year. In the current economy, our customers are more price-conscious. We continue to focus on a clearer price positioning, sales campaigns and more low-price products in all our markets. Other priorities during the year are our cost-savings programs and to turn around ICA Norway. 3

Important events during the second quarter In April, ICA launched one of its largest pricing campaigns to date in the Swedish market. Kiellands Hus Eiendom AS, which is 51% owned by ICA Eiendom Norway AS, sold the Kiellands Hus shopping center in May. The sale produced a capital gain for the ICA Group of NOK 40 million during the second quarter. Sales and financial results ICA GROUP During the second quarter, consolidated net sales amounted to SEK 24,037 million (22,765), up 5.6 percent. At constant exchange rates, net sales were up 2.8 percent. Operating income amounted to SEK 582 million (660) and includes capital gains on real estate sales of SEK 56 million (137) and impairment losses on fixed assets of SEK 58 (0) in Rimi Baltic. Operating income excluding capital gains and impairment losses amounted to SEK 584 million (523). Income after net financial items amounted to SEK 497 million (597). Net income for the period amounted to SEK 360 million (557). The lower income was mainly due to higher tax expenses. During the first half-year, consolidated net sales amounted to SEK 46,596 million (44,064), up 5.7 percent. At constant exchange rates, net sales were up 2.8 percent. Operating income amounted to SEK 848 million (919) and includes capital gains on real estate sales of SEK 71 million (171) and impairment losses on fixed assets of SEK 58 (0). Operating income excluding capital gains and impairment losses amounted to SEK 835 million (748). Income after net financial items amounted to SEK 661 million (753). Net income for the period amounted to SEK 469 million (748). The lower income was mainly due to higher tax expenses. ICA SWEDEN During the second quarter, net sales amounted to SEK 15,062 million (14,080), up 7.0 percent. The increase was partly the result of the price reduction campaign launched in April. Operating income amounted to SEK 567 million (358). The improvement was due to increased sales and lower costs for logistics and administration as well as a better result in non-foods. The lower logistics costs were mainly due to more efficient logistics and lower costs in the warehouse in Helsingborg. The quarter was negatively affected by a higher cost of goods partly caused by a weaker Swedish krona. During the first half-year, net sales amounted to SEK 28,629 million (27,120), up 5.6 percent. The increase was partly the result of the price reduction campaign launched in April. Operating income amounted to SEK 945 million (655). The improvement was due to increased sales, lower costs for logistics and administration, and a better result in non-foods. The quarter was negatively affected by a higher cost of goods partly caused by a weaker Swedish krona. ICA NORWAY During the second quarter, net sales amounted to SEK 5,348 million (5,004), up 6.9 percent. In local currency the increase was 3.1 percent. The increase was mainly due to higher sales in comparable stores and the conversion of more franchised stores to Group-owned stores in ICA Norway. The operating loss was SEK 215 million (-86). The higher loss was primarily due to increased costs for more Group-owned stores and higher costs as a consequence of the turnaround process. The higher costs are among others related to the conversion of Rimi stores into the new concept, and costs for terminating lease and personnel agreements as a consequence of closing two Maxi stores during the year. During the first half-year, net sales amounted to SEK 10,600 million (9,867), up 7.4 percent. In local currency the increase was 3.6 percent. The improvement was mainly due to a sales increase in comparable stores of 2.4 percent, but also the conversion of more franchised stores to Group-owned stores in ICA Norway. The operating loss was SEK 515 million (-302). The higher loss was primarily due to lower store margins caused by increased costs for more Group-owned stores and higher costs as a consequence of the turn around process. The higher costs are 4

among others related to the conversion of Rimi stores into the new concept, and costs for terminating lease and personnel agreements as a consequence of closing two Maxi stores during the year.

The operating loss was SEK -60 million (66). The second quarter was charged with impairment losses on fixed assets of SEK 58 million (0) in all three countries. The operating loss excluding impairment losses amounted to SEK -2 million (66). The lower result was mainly due to lower sales caused by falling consumption in the Baltic countries as well as as well as higher fixed costs due to an increase in the number of stores compared with the same quarter last year. The decline was also due to margin pressure resulting from pricing and sales campaigns. The number of stores has increased by 23 compared with June 2008. During the first half-year, net sales amounted to SEK 6,533 million (5,991), up 9.0 percent. In local currency, sales decreased by 5.8 percent. The operating loss was SEK -103 million (72). The first half-year was charged with impairment losses on fixed assets of SEK 58 million (0). The operating loss excluding impairment losses amounted to SEK -45 million (72). The lower result was mainly due to lower sales caused by falling consumption in the Baltic countries as well as higher fixed costs due to an increase in the number of stores compared with the same quarter last year. The decline was also due to margin pressure resulting from various pricing and sales campaigns. ICA BANK During the second quarter, revenues amounted to SEK 161 million (139), up 15.8 percent. Business volume increased by 2.9 percent (2.6) during the second quarter. Operating income rose to SEK 37 million (25) mainly due to higher net interest income. During the first half-year, revenues amounted to SEK 321 million (275), up 16.7 percent. Business volume increased by 12.0 percent (9.8) compared with the second quarter of 2008 and by 4.9 percent (4.0) since the beginning of the year. Operating income rose to SEK 75 million (46) mainly due to higher net interest income. ICA REAL ESTATE As of January 1, 2009, the real estate operations in Sweden and Norway are reported in the ICA Real Estate segment. ICA Real Estate currently owns 180 properties and manages all ICA s rental agreements in Sweden and Norway. During the second quarter, revenues amounted to SEK 522 million (479), up 9.0 percent. Operating income amounted to SEK 284 million (353) and included capital gains on real estate sales of SEK 56 million (137). Operating income excluding capital gains amounted to SEK 228 million (216). The income improvement was largely due to higher rental revenues and lower staff costs. During the first half-year, revenues amounted to SEK 1,048 million (952), up 10.1 percent. Operating income amounted to SEK 518 million (589) and included capital gains on real estate sales of SEK 61 million (171). Operating income excluding capital gains amounted to SEK 457 million (418).

The change compared with the previous year is as a result of cost savings. The operating loss during the first half-year amounted to SEK 72 million ( 141) and included capital gains on real estate sales of SEK 10 million (0). The operating loss excluding these items amounted to SEK -82 million (-141). There are no properties remaining in ICA Group Functions following the sale during the first half-year. The change compared with the previous year was due to a one-time premium of SEK 35 million paid to employees in Sweden in 2008 as well as cost savings. 5

NET FINANCIAL ITEMS AND TAXES During the second quarter, the ICA Group s net financial items amounted to SEK -85 million (-63). The tax expense was SEK -137 million (-40). The increased tax expense is due to a change in tax regulations in Sweden for intra- Group loans as of 2009 that has increased taxes by SEK 75 million. During the first half-year, the ICA Group s net financial items amounted to SEK -187 million (-166). The tax expense was SEK -192 million (-5). The increased tax expense is due to a change in tax regulations in Sweden for intra-group loans as of 2009 that has increased taxes by SEK 150 million. FINANCIAL POSITION The Group s total assets amounted to SEK 40,111 million (39,969) compared with December 31, 2008. The increase in total assets was primarily due to the weaker Swedish krona as well as a higher tax receivable. Cash flow from operating activities decreased to SEK 948 million (1,670) during the first half-year. The decrease was mainly due to an increase in tax payments of SEK 849 million, of which SEK 747 million was a payment in connection with a tax dispute for the period 2001 2003. Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -1,201 million (-636). Cash flow from financing activities was SEK -57 million ( 866). The Group s liquid assets totaled SEK 4,757 million on June 30, 2009 (SEK 5,102 million on December 31, 2008). The large part of liquid assets, SEK 4,049 million, relates to ICA Bank. The equity/assets ratio was 31.9 percent (32.0 percent on December 31, 2008). The Group's net debt excluding ICA Bank was SEK 3,117 million on June 30, 2009 (SEK 2,132 million on December 31, 2008). TAX DISPUTES In 2007, the Swedish Tax Agency disallowed interest deductions by ICA Finans AB of SEK 1,795 million for the period 2001-2003. ICA appealed the decision to the County Administrative Court, which in December 2008 ruled in favor of the Swedish Tax Agency. The Swedish Tax Agency s claim amounts to SEK 747 million, including penalties and interest. ICA is convinced that the deductions made by ICA Finans AB complied with applicable tax laws and has appealed the County Administrative Court s decision to the Swedish Administrative Court of Appeal. The claim is recognized as a contingent liability. In January 2009, the Swedish Tax Agency decided not to grant ICA an extension on the payment. ICA paid the claim of SEK 747 million in February 2009 and has booked it as a receivable from the Swedish Tax Agency. In a separate case, the Swedish Tax Agency decided in 2008 to disallow interest deductions of SEK 3,158 million made in 2004-2007 to a Dutch Group company. The Swedish Tax Agency s claim amounts to SEK 1,079 million (including penalties and interest). ICA is convinced that the deductions it made complied with tax laws and has appealed the Swedish Tax Agency s decision to the County Administrative Court. The claim is recognized as a contingent liability. 6

INVESTMENTS Investments during the first half-year amounted to SEK 977 million (1,158) and were distributed according to the table below.. No single investment exceeded SEK 50 million. Further investments in the Baltic countries will be made cautiously given current economic conditions.

Since 31 December 2008, the average number of employees has reduced from 22,023, a decrease of 748. SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES Given the nature of the Group s operations, a financial exposure naturally arises with regard to interest rates, liquidity, exchange rates and credit. The Group has a central treasury function whose primary purpose is to ensure that the Group has secured financing through loans and lines of credit, as well as to provide cash management and to actively manage and verify that the financial exposure is in compliance with the Group s finance policy. ICA Bank s operations are exposed to a number of risks. The most prominent risks are considered to be credit risk, operating risk and business risk/strategic risk, while market risk and liquidity risk are limited. For a complete description of the risks affecting the Group, refer to the annual report 2008. PARENT COMPANY, ICA AB The Parent Company's net sales during the first half-year amounted to SEK 20 million (456) with income after net financial items of SEK 452 million (883). The lower net sales reflect the effects of the new organization implemented on January 1, 2009; certain operations were transferred to ICA Sweden AB during the second quarter effective retroactively to January 1. Investments during the period amounted to SEK 11 million (23). Cash, bank balances and short-term investments amounted to SEK 5 million (5). TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES No transactions have taken place between ICA and related parties that significantly affect the company's financial position and results of operations. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES This interim report is prepared according to IAS 34. The same accounting principles and calculation methods are applied as in the most recent annual report. Readers of the interim report are presumed to have access to the most recent annual report. The interim report primarily contains information on events and changes that have taken place since the most recent annual report was issued and that are of considerable importance to understanding the changes in the Group s financial position and results of operations. Effective January 1, 2009, ICA applies IFRS 8 Operating Segments, IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes and revisions to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. The application of IFRS 8 means that real estate operations in Sweden and Norway are reported as a separate segment, ICA Real Estate. The comparable year has been adjusted based on the same principle. The bonus ICA gives its customers based on their purchases is governed by IFRIC 13, the application of which has not significantly affected the financial reports. The revision to IAS 1 means that a statement of comprehensive income is presented in direct connection to the income statement. Revenues and expenses recognized directly in equity are now presented in this statement. 7

The comparable year has been adjusted based on the same principle. Other new or revised standards and interpretations from IFRIC have not had an effect on ICA s financial reports. The preparation of the financial reports in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting principles and the carrying amounts in the income statement and balance sheet. Estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and a number of factors that under current circumstances seem reasonable. The result of these estimates and assumptions is then used to determine the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that otherwise are not clearly indicated by other sources. Actual outcomes may deviate from these estimates and assumptions. NEXT REPORTING DATE The interim report for January September 2009 will be presented on November 4, 2009.
