OUTLOOK

UPDATE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Several STRATEC customers are at the forefront of containing the COVID-19 pandemic

-Significant proportion of genetic COVID-19 testing is performed on systems developed and manufactured by STRATEC

  • -Additional demands for immunoassay solutions due to antibody screening and lab-based antigen tests
    • Still unprecedented demand levels and strong order trends strong business performance expected for H1 2021

Various factors set to influence H2 2021 demand levels:

  • -Magnitude of replacement potential triggered by elevated utilization levels of installed base
  • -Uplift of serological and other testing (e.g. full respiratory panels)
  • -Overall testing volumes and penetration of genetic versus rapid antigen tests
  • -Impact of significant expanded installed base on Service parts & Consumables business
    • Catch up potential of non-COVID-related product lines

Expected longer-term dynamics:

  • -Improved perception of IVD methods and further increase in STRATEC brand awareness
  • -Allocation of research budgets into infectious diseases
  • -Renaissance of decentralized testing capacities (more testing againin hospitals)
  • -Increased and sustainable public investments in healthcareinfrastructures
    • Sustainable additional testing demand (e.g. Long COVID, respiratory panels, other screening tests)

FY 2020 FINANCIAL RESULTS – MARCH 31, 2021

FINANCIAL GUIDANCE FOR FISCAL YEAR 20211

  • •Constant-currency sales growth in at least a mid single-digit percentage range
  • •Adjusted EBIT margin of around 17.0% to 18.0% (2020: 16.7%)
  • •Investments in tangible and intangible assets combined of around 6.0% to 8.0% of sales

1 Overall, the company has most recently witnessed increased order forecasts for the second half of 2021. Due to the additional forecasting uncertainty on account of the pandemic, however, these increases have not been incorporated into the above financial guidance.
