    1. APPENDIX

FINANCIAL GUIDANCE FOR FISCAL YEAR 20211

  • •Constant-currency sales growth of at least 12.0%
  • •Adjusted EBIT margin of around 17.5% to 18.5% (2020: 16.7%)
  • •Investments in tangible and intangible assets combined of around 6.0% to 8.0% of sales

1 The above guidance is based on a planning scenario which assumes that the vaccines currently available will remain highly effective against new virus mutations and that further major waves of infection can be avoided in North America and Europe. Furthermore, STRATEC continues to observe a high level of volatility in its customers' order behavior. This volatility is tending to increase overall. In view of this, some customer orders for the fourth quarter of 2021 are still not incorporated in the above financial guidance.

FOCUS IN 2021 AND BEYOND

  • • Drive forward development program for next-generation MDx solution for one of the dominant market players. Market launch expected for H1/2022.
  • •Focus on potential M&A activities in-light of solid balance sheet and upcoming opportunities
  • • Execute deal pipeline regarding new development and manufacturing agreements
  • Two bigger deals in the final negotiation stage
  • •Manage transition to post-pandemic priorities
  • • Restore pre-pandemic efficiency levels throughout the company
