Although we are convinced that these forward-looking statements are realistic, we can provide no guarantee of this.

    1. APPENDIX

FINANCIAL GUIDANCE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022*

  • • Sales to match the previous year's level on a constant-currency basis
  • – Ramp-up of young product portfolio and additional upcoming launches set to compensate potential declines in COVID-19-related product lines
  • • Adjusted EBIT margin of around 16.5% to 18.5% (2021: 18.9%)
  • Raising input costs and normalization of product mix
  • •Investments in tangible and intangible assets combined of around 6.0% to 8.0% of sales

* Any assessment of the further course of the pandemic, particularly from the fall onwards, and associated demand for in-vitro diagnostics products is subject to great uncertainties. STRATEC's budget scenario for the 2022 financial year includes a higher than normal number of assumptions and risk adjustments. Furthermore, the situation in global supply chains also remains tense and increasingly difficult to predict, with this being due not least to the war in Ukraine.

COVID-19 AND MARKET UPDATE

  • • COVID-19 pandemic has driven 2020 and 2021 market growth rates far above the historical long-term average of around 4-6% p.a.
  • • High comparison basis due to surge in COVID testing volumes might adversely affect market growth rates in 2022 and 2023
  • •Return to at least historical market growth rates expected once new baseline is reached
  • • Further infection waves to be expected with probably steeper ramps but shorter durations requires higher spare capacity levels to be held by the labs to cover peaks

OUTLOOK

STRATEC WELL POSITIONED TO OUTPACE EXPECTED MARKET GROWTH

SPECIFIC DRIVERS FOR STRATEC

  • In contrast to the overall market, no negative pricing effects expected
  • STRATEC customers set to gain further market share once regular approval pathways for COVID-19 tests are established / again required
  • Overutilization of testing equipment triggers significant replacement potential
  • Expanded installed base set to drive strong service parts & consumables business
  • Expanded menus at the customer side and transfer of esoteric tests into screening formats
  • Pandemic and labor shortages have again highlighted the value of highly automated lab workflows
  • Several products in ramp up phase

e.g. LIAISON XS, FACSDuet, KleeYa and several new smart consumables

Strong outsourcing trend and launch / development pipeline

e.g. three molecular diagnostic systems

OUTLOOK

FOCUS IN 2022 AND BEYOND

  • • Execute on current development pipeline and launch line-up
  • Expected launches over the next 12 months include two MDx solution families
  • •M&A remains part of the company's growth and diversification strategy
  • • Execute deal pipeline regarding new development and manufacturing agreements
  • Significant upward trend in the number and quality of incoming pipeline projects in recent months
  • •Implement countermeasures to address supply chain issues and rising input costs
  • • Restore pre-pandemic efficiency levels throughout the company
  • •Manage transition to post-pandemic priorities
