Comment by the CEO ICA shows a continued strong result. During the period January to September our operating income rose by 44 percent to SEK 1,938 million. The income improvement was the result of, among other things, further efficiency improvements in our organization, and a favorable sales trend. Growth in Swedish store sales during the third quarter was 7.8 percent compared with the same period last year, which means that we have further strengthened our market position. In addition to the positive food sales development, partly as the result of our continued price cuts, higher demand for non-food products contributed to the positive trend. Non-food is a strategically important area for ICA where we see great potential going forward. During the third quarter we therefore gathered our resources in non-food in a new unit that will have full responsibility for product selection, purchasing, operations and sales. Another area where we see opportunities to improve efficiency is in Rimi Baltic. In October we signed an agreement with Kesko Livs Ab to acquire their 50 percent interest in the company. By integrating Rimi Baltic as a wholly owned subsidiary, we can establish a stronger Nordic-Baltic organization with synergies in sourcing, administration and IT, among other areas. Increased ownership in Rimi Baltic is therefore an important step in our aim to become the leader in the fast-growing Baltic market. This acquisition requires the approval of the EU Commission, and this is expected by year-end. Efficient distribution is of critical importance to remain competitive in the Nordic retail market. In September we took an important step when we opened our new warehouse in Helsingborg, a key puzzle piece in the development of ICA s new distribution network and Sweden s largest food distribution center. The facility, that is largely automated; meaning for e.g. that efficiency can be raised up to four times that of conventional warehouse handling, is one of Northern Europe s most modern logistics units. The Helsingborg warehouse can handle larger volumes, at the same time that it provides a more environmentally friendly logistics chain and faster deliveries to the ICA. In Norway, our customers are asking for more fresh products, greater diversity and higher quality, which shows that our strategy to focus on larger with a wider product range, such as ICA Maxi and ICA Supermarked, is the right road forward. New store openings, renovations and changes in the store structure are continuing according to plan, and we will gradually be able to offer the right, the right products and the right prices for our customers. We are also continuing our work to position Rimi as a discount concept where it is easy and inexpensive for our customers to shop. During the nine first months we have carried through a number of important investments within the ICA Group, such as the warehouse in Helsingborg and store modernizations in Norway, thanks to which we are well prepared for a future in which competition continues to grow. We continue to focus on price, product range, new store openings, Nordic cooperation and competence, and we are doing so at the same time that we are raising efficiency in our organization. As a result, we can build on the initiatives we now are making in the Nordic food retail market. Important events during the third quarter ICA Banken now reports positive operating income that during the nine-month period amounted to SEK 4 million ( 58), which confirms the positive development we have seen thus far this year. In September the European Commission approved ICA AB s sale of ICA Meny to Nordic Capital. ICA Meny s profit impact during this year including the gain on the transaction amounts to SEK 366 million. Important events after the conclusion of the third quarter In October ICA Baltic AB signed an agreement with Kesko Livs Ab to acquire its 50 percent interest in Rimi Baltic AB. ICA AB is paying EUR 190 million in cash for the shares and EUR 50 million for four properties in Estonia. The transaction requires the European Commission s approval, which is expected by year-end. When the acquisition is finalized, Rimi Baltic will be reported as a wholly owned subsidiary of ICA AB. The sale of the property where ICA operates its distribution center in Helsingborg was finalized in October. The sales results in a capital gain of approximately SEK 300 million that affects ICA s results for the fourth quarter. 3

ICA Group financial results Financial results during the nine-month period Consolidated net sales for the ICA Group during the nine-month period amounted to SEK 49,552 million (48,161), an increase of 2.9 percent. ICA Sverige s sales rose by 3.6 percent. Sales for ICA Norge decreased by 1.2 percent; in local currency sales decreased by 3.1 percent. ICA Banken s sales rose by 98 percent, while business volume climbed 13 percent. Operating income for the period rose by SEK 596 million or 44 percent to SEK 1,938 million (1,342) due to further efficiency improvements in our organization and a favorable sales trend. The operating result for ICA Sverige amounted to SEK 1,841 million (1 054). The income improvement in ICA Sverige is due to improved market positions and the fact that operating income during the corresponding period last year was charged with expenses for marketing and preparations for the price-cutting campaign launched in March 2005. Capital gains on real estate sales in Sweden increased by SEK 78 million to SEK 107 million (29) compared with the same period last year. The operating result in ICA Norge amounted to SEK 328 million (353). The income decrease in ICA Norge is mainly due to lower store sales and due to costs for modernizations of but is partly compensated by capital gains on real estate sales. After deducting write-downs, capital gains amounted to SEK 104 million ( 33). The large part is attributable to the sale of a Norwegian shopping center in February. ICA Banken now shows a positive operating result of SEK 4 million ( 58). ICA Banken s improved operating result is due to higher business volumes. The ICA Group Functions segment (formerly ICA AB) is reporting lower results due to changes in the principles for distributing expenses within the Group, which is an element in the efforts to create a joint organization. Net sales for Rimi Baltic during the period amounted to SEK 6,478 million, an increase of 20.7 percent. ICA s share of Rimi Baltic s loss amounted to SEK 28 million. The comparable result for the same period last year was SEK 33 million. The increased result is largely due to higher store sales and more efficient real estate maintenance. The loss is affected by expenses for the high rate of new store openings. Net sales for Netto Marknad during the period amounted to SEK 1,788 million, an increase of 18.4 percent. ICA s share of Netto Marknad s loss for the period improved to SEK 45 million ( 60) compared with the same period last year. ICA Meny was sold as of 19 September and was included in the ICA Group this year until and including August. Net sales for ICA Meny for the period January August amounted to SEK 4 383 million, for the period January September 2005 net sales amounted to SEK 4,221 million. Net sales together with a favorable cost control and a profit gain from the sales, have resulted in an improved result after tax for the period of SEK 366 million ( 8). Financial results during the third quarter Consolidated net sales during the third quarter of 2006 amounted to SEK 17,022 million (16,524), an increase of 3.0 percent. ICA Sverige s sales rose by 5.6 percent. Sales for ICA Norge decreased by 4.7 percent; in local currency sales decreased by 1.1 percent. ICA Banken s sales rose by 63 percent. Operating income for the third quarter of 2006 rose by SEK 12 million or 1.8 percent to SEK 693 million (681). ICA Sverige s operating result amounted to SEK 664 million (476). The improvement in ICA Sverige compared to the third quarter last year is due to stronger market positions and the fact that operating income during the corresponding period last year was charged with expenses for marketing and price cuts. During the third quarter capital gains on real estate sales in Sweden decreased by SEK 18 million to SEK 2 million (20) compared with the same period last year. ICA Norge s operating result amounted to SEK 111 million (187). Lower sales volume and expenses to modernize are the main reasons for the declining results for ICA Norge during the third quarter. ICA Banken s business volume continued to rise, which contributed to substantially higher operating income. ICA Banken reported operating income of SEK 11 million ( 8) during the quarter. The ICA Group Functions segment (formerly ICA AB) is reporting lower results due to changes in the principles for distributing expenses within the Group, which is an element in the efforts to create a joint organization. The third quarter was charged with increased IT costs and costs in connection with the sale of ICA Meny. Net sales for Rimi Baltic during the third quarter of 2006 amounted to SEK 2,262 million, an increase of 21.6 percent. ICA s share of Rimi Baltic s profit amounted to SEK 1 million. The comparable result for the third quarter of last year was SEK 13 million. The increased result is largely due to higher store sales. Net sales for Netto Marknad during the third quarter amounted to SEK 613 million, an increase of 16.5 percent. ICA s share of Netto Marknad s loss for the third quarter improved to SEK 9 million ( 22) compared with the third quarter last year. Net sales in ICA Meny during the third quarter amounted to SEK 1,092 million (1,462), in the quarter s net sales, only July and August are included. The increase in net sales together with a favorable cost control and the profit gain from the sales, have resulted in an improved net profit after tax of SEK 358 million ( 1) in the quarter. 4

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. The introduction of IAS 39 for reporting of financial guarantees at fair value in the balance sheet affects the Group s shareholders equity as of January 1, 2006 by SEK 13 million. Other new and revised IFRS standards that entered into force on January 1, 2006 have no effect on the ICA Group s income statement, balance sheet, statement of cash flows and shareholders equity. On June 16 2006 ICA AB signed an agreement to sell all the shares in ICA Meny AB and the deal was closed on September 19 2006. ICA Meny is reported as a discontinued operation in accordance with IFRS 5.

Comparative figures in the income statement are restated.. Next reporting date The year-end report for 2006 will be presented on February 21, 2007. Stockholm, November 6, 2006 Kenneth Bengtsson President and CEO, ICA AB Review Report We have reviewed the interim report for the period January 1 to September 30, 2006, for ICA AB. The Board of Directors and the President are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Standard on Review Engagements SÖG 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity issued by FAR. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing in Sweden, RS, and other generally accepted auditing practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not, in all material respects, prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act.
