Business development of Geratherm Medical was not satisfactory during the 1st quarter of 2012. The very moderate temperatures of the past winter and the absence of a flu epidemic in Europe required us to adjust the production of clinical thermometers at the plant in Thuringia, which had an adverse impact on the operating result. The new business segments Medical warming systems and Respiratory reported a positive development with a good double-digit increase in sales. Even Geratherm do Brasil reported above-average growth as well.
With a 13.9% decline in sales during the 1st quarter, the gross profit experienced an above-average decrease by -20.6%. This can be explained, above all, by the lower production volume of the gallium-filled thermometers which have high profit margins.
The gross margin of the company as a whole amounted during the first 3 months to 56.3% (2011: 61.0%). The personnel expenses decreased by -14.6%. The other operating expenses remained on the same level as the prior year. The lower sales and the temporary 30% reduction in production at the Geschwenda plant in Thuringia resulted in considerably lower results compared to the same quarter last year.
The operating result (EBIT) was during the 1st. quarter 148 kEUR (2011: 597 kEUR). The result from ordinary activities amounted to 190 kEUR (2011: 598 kEUR). The shareholders' back tax result amounted to 133 kEUR or 3 EUR cents per share (2011: 10 EUR cents).

The sales development of Geratherm Medical varied greatly in the individual regions. Especially, the very low demand for gallium-filled thermometers in Germany and in Europe resulted in a drop in sales of up to 50% during the 1st. quarter. We were also not able to completely escape the weak economic conditions prevailing in Europe. It is encouraging to note that Geratherm's growth in the Middle East and South America is healthy.
90% of Geratherm products are exported. Sales in Germany showed very weak development during the 1st quarter, exhibiting a decrease of -36.2%. The sales in Europe also fell by -41.2%. The sales of Geratherm products showed positive development in the US, recording a sales increase of 14.6% for the 1st quarter. Healthier growth was noted for Geratherm products in South America with +36.3% and in the area designated as Other countries, mainly Middle East, showing a growth of +64.5%.
The sales generated by the Healthcare Diagnostic segment decreased by -19.6% during the first three months of the current year. The absence of a flu season and the ailing economic conditions led to a considerable decrease in sales in the "Home Healthcare" product segment. The new product segments did exhibit more dynamics. The Medical warming systems segment posted a sales growth of 31.0% compared to the same quarter last year.
The sales development of new products for testing pulmonary function was positive. Sales increased by +40.5% during the 1st quarter of 2012 compared to the prior year. For both segments we are anticipating the growth dynamics to remain stable for the current business year.
With a -7.7% decrease, the Cardio/Stroke segment remained slightly below the previous year's level. The number of participating stroke centers using the apoplex SRAclinic product increased to 17 clinics and hospitals (2011: 11).
The operating result was considerably below the level reported for the same quarter last year as a result of reduced production in Geschwenda, Thuringia, and the overall lower sales. With a gross profit reduced by 20.6% and lower personnel expenses in the amount of 14.6%, the company reported a gross balance (EBITDA) of 320 kEUR (2011: 763 kEUR) for the first three months of the current fiscal year.
The write-offs increased slighly by 3.4% to 172 kEUR. The other operating expenses remained with EUR 1.1 million on the same level compared to the same quarter last year.
The operating result (EBIT) decreased by 75.2% to 148 kEUR for the first three months of the current fiscal year. The EBIT margin amounted to 3.6% (2011: 12.5%). The financial result was positive with 42 kEUR. The result from ordinary business activities amounted to 190 kEUR (-68.2%) during the first three months of the current fiscal year. Income taxes weigh on the result with 54 kEUR, whereas 34 kEUR of that was effective tax burden. The non-cash decrease of the deferred tax assets accounted for the rest with 20 kEUR due to the use of losses carried forward. A consolidated net profit was reported for the first three months of 136 kEUR (2011: 387 kEUR).
During the first quarter of 2012, a net result was generated for shareholders of the parent company in the amount of 133 kEUR (2011: 476 kEUR). The result per share for the first quarter of 2012 is 3 EUR cent (2011: 10 EUR cents).
Geratherm Medical enjoys a stable asset situation. The balance sheet total has remained almost the same with EUR 25.2 million compared to 2011 and is essentially formed by equity capital in the amount of EUR 19.5 million. The equity-to-assets ratio was 77.1% as of the reporting date (2011: 78.5%). As of March 31, 2012 the company had cash, cash equivalents and securities in the amount of EUR 9.7 million (2011: EUR 12.5 million). Thus, the company has a solid financial position.
The long-term assets increased slightly by 2.4% to EUR 5.9 million. With regard to intangible assets, there was a slight decrease of 11.6% to 468 kEUR due to the amortization of development costs during the 1st quarter. For tangible assets the company reported an increase of EUR 3.7 million to EUR 3,9 million. The increase in the tangible assets is due to the purchase of a warehouse that is located close to the plant in Thuringia.
The short-term assets also increased slightly by 2.7% to EUR 19.4 million. Inventories increased by 3.1% to EUR 6.1 million. The accounts receivable and other
As of March 31, 2012, the company held securities worth EUR 5.7 million (+7.4%). The cash and cash equivalents declined slightly by 5.9% to EUR 4.0 million (2011: EUR 4.2 million).
assets also increased slightly by 5.5% to EUR 3.5 million.
The gross cash flow for the first three months decreased to 306 kEUR (2011: 717 kEUR).The cash flow from operations amounted to 222 kEUR (2011: 836 kEUR). The cash flow from investment activities was -36 kEUR (2011: -931 kEUR).
No special events were reported for research and development during the 1st quarter of 2012. Our R&D activities continue to focus primarily on the long-term provision of sophisticated medical products.
The Geratherm Group had a staff of 135 persons in total as of March 31, 2012 (2011: 139). 83.7% of the employees are located in Germany. 19 jobs were cut at the plant in Thuringia, and 13 new employees were hired at the plant in Sao Paulo.
We are expecting the dynamic growth exhibited by the premium medical products from our Medical warming systems, Respiratory and Cardio/Stroke segments to continue into the next quarters as well. The dynamics shown with the sales growth of Geratherm do Brasil will compensate the current weak results in Europe. For the second quarter of 2012, we are anticipating an upturn in the core business segment of clinical thermometers. A production cutback, as was done during the 1st quarter of 2012, is currently not planned for the following quarter such that we expect to see an improvement in the quality of earnings.
We are looking forward to welcoming our shareholders at this year's annual general meeting on June 8, 2012, at 2 p.m., at Hilton Munich City Hotel, Rosenheimer Straße 15, in Munich. On that day, we will happily answer any questions.
Geschwenda, May 2012

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Geratherm Medical AG were prepared for the first quarter of the 2012 fiscal year in accordance with the rules of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) valid on the date of the financial statements and in consideration of the guidance provided by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), as is mandatory in the European Union.
The accounting, evaluation and consolidation principles were maintained, as shown in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for 2011 Fiscal Year.
The valuation of assets and liabilities is based in part on estimates and/or assumptions about future developments. For instance, the statements on economic useful life for long-term assets are based on estimates and assumptions. In addition, the assessment of the intrinsic value of deferred taxation allocated to the losses carried forward and the impairment tests of the cash-generating units and the assets is based on the corporate planning, which of course involves uncertainties such that the actual values may deviate from the made assumptions and estimates in individual cases. Estimates and the underlying assumptions are regularly checked and evaluated with regard to possible impact on accounting.
No changes in the consolidation group have occurred during the first quarter of 2012.
The development of the equity capital is shown in the consolidated statement of change to the shareholders' equity.
The subscribed capital of Geratherm Medical AG amounts all in all to EUR 4,949,999 as at March 31, 2012 (2011: EUR 4,949,999) and is divided into 4,949,999 (2011: 4,949,999) share certificates issued to the bearers. The subscribed capital has been paid in full. As of the reporting date there were no shares held by the company.
The Executive Board and Supervisory Board will propose to the general meeting in June 2012 to distribute a dividend of EUR 0.30 per share for the 2011 fiscal year. Since a dividend is disbursed in full from the tax contribution account in accordance with Art. 27 of KStG (not contributions to nominal capital), the payment is made without any deduction of capital gains tax and solidarity surcharge.
