the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Ericsson US 401(k) Plan (the &#147;Plan&#148;) as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2015. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan&#146;s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial
reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
the Plan&#146;s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as
of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2015, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of the year) as of December&nbsp;31, 2015 have been subjected to audit procedures performed
in conjunction with the audit of the Plan&#146;s financial statements. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan&#146;s management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental schedule reconcile to the
financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental schedule. In forming our opinion on the supplemental
schedule, we evaluated whether the supplemental schedule, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the Department of Labor&#146;s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974. In our opinion, the supplemental schedule is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="font-size:12px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P>

(&#147;ASU&#148;) No.&nbsp;2015-07, Fair Value Measurement (Topic&nbsp;820)&nbsp;- Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent) (&#147;ASU&nbsp;2015-07&#148;). ASU&nbsp;2015-07 removes
the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value (&#147;NAV&#148;) per share practical expedient. ASU&nbsp;2015-07 also removes the requirement to make certain
disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the NAV per share practical expedient.&nbsp;Investments that calculate NAV per share (or its equivalent), but for which the practical expedient is not applied will
continue to be included in the fair value hierarchy along with the related required disclosures. ASU&nbsp;2015-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2015, and is to be applied retrospectively, with early adoption
permitted. The Company has elected to adopt the ASU 2015-07 for the year ended December 31, 2015. Other than the change to disclosures the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the financial statements. </FONT></P>

accrued interest.&nbsp;Common stock and preferred stock traded in active markets on national securities exchanges are valued at closing prices on the last business day of each period presented. Securities traded in markets that are not considered
active are valued based on quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. Securities that trade infrequently and therefore have little or no price transparency are
valued using the Plan&#146;s investment manager&#146;s best estimates. Mutual funds in registered investment companies are valued as mentioned above. Partnerships are valued using the Plan&#146;s investment manager&#146;s best estimates based on the

part of the stable value fund. The investments in synthetic GICs are presented at fair value on the table of the investments held in the Plan. The fair value of the synthetic GICs equals the total of the fair value of the underlying assets plus the
total wrap rebid value, which is calculated by discounting the annual rebid fee, due to rebid, over the duration of the contract assets. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In determining the net assets available for benefits, the synthetic GICs are recorded at their contract values, which are equal to principal balance plus accrued interest. As provided in ASC 962, an

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In accordance with the investment strategy of the managed accounts, the Plan&#146;s investment managers may execute transactions in various financial instruments that may give rise to varying degrees of
off-balance-sheet market and credit risk. These instruments can be executed on an exchange or negotiated in the OTC market. These financial instruments include futures, forward settlement contracts, swap and option contracts. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Swap contracts include equity, credit default and interest rate swap contracts. Equity swaps involve an agreement to exchange cash flows
based on the total return of underlying securities.</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Credit default swaps involve the exchange of cash flows based on the
creditworthiness of the underlying issuer of securities. Interest rate swaps involve an agreement to exchange periodic interest payment streams (typically fixed vs. variable) calculated on an agreed upon periodic interest rate multiplied by a
predetermined notional principal amount. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Market risk arises from the potential for changes in value of financial instruments
resulting from fluctuations in interest and foreign exchange rates and in prices of debt and equity securities. The gross notional (or contractual) amounts used to express the volume of these transactions do not necessarily represent the amounts
potentially subject to market risk. In many cases, these financial instruments serve to reduce, rather than increase, the Plan&#146;s exposure to losses from market or other risks. In addition, the measurement of market risk is meaningful only when
all related and offsetting transactions are identified. The Plan&#146;s investment managers generally limit the Plan&#146;s market risk by holding or purchasing offsetting positions. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As a writer of option contracts, the Plan receives a premium to become obligated to buy or sell financial instruments for a period of time
at the holder&#146;s option. During this period, the Plan bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the market value of the financial instrument underlying the option, but has no credit risk, as the counterparty has no performance obligation to the
Plan once it has paid its cash premium. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Plan is subject to credit risk of counterparty nonperformance on derivative
contracts in a gain position, except for written options, which obligate the Plan to perform and do not give rise to any counterparty credit risk. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Investments sold, but not yet purchased by the Plan as of December&nbsp;31, 2015 and 2014 involve obligations to deliver specified securities at contracted prices and thereby create a liability to
purchase the securities at prevailing future market prices. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Accordingly, these transactions result in off-balance sheet risk
as the Plan&#146;s ultimate obligation to satisfy the sale of financial instruments sold, but not yet purchased, may exceed the amount recognized in the financial statements. </FONT></P>
