Financial Report

Comments from Mattias Perjos, CEO

Higher sales, stronger margins and product launches with significant added value for customers

"Order intake for Getinge as a whole increased by 14.4%, of which organic growth was 7.8% due to the positive performance of all business areas. Net sales increased by 15.7%, of which the organic increase was 8.9%. Sales for Acute Care Therapies increased by a full 23.2% organically, primarily due to large deliveries in Cardiac Assist and consumables in Cardiopulmonary and low comparative figures from Q2 2023. Net sales for Life Science demonstrated a sharp organic decline and this was mainly the result of a continued soft market for Bio-Processing and the fact that outgoing deliveries in capital goods were moved to the second half of the year, which we also mentioned in the Q1 report. However, acquisitions, price adjustments and currency effects contributed positively. The acquired company Healthmark is continuing to make a strong contribution to net sales for Surgical Workflows, which increased by 12.9% in the quarter. Organically, sales for Surgical Workflows declined slightly compared with last year's robust growth.

Investments in the product portfolio is a fundamental piece of our strategy and during the quarter numerous important new products were launched. One of these was Poladus 150, an advanced low-temperature sterilizer that meets a significant need for our customers. In regulatory news, we received a 510(k) clearance for Talis innovative software, which offers digital clinical decision support, and our Advanta V12 covered stents system received EU MDR approval. Life Science launched the GEW 888 neo washer that increases cleanroom efficiency and helps reduce water consumption by 20%. In addition, a new version of the DPTE-BetaBag® was launched, which is made of plastic from renewable sources, which reduces the carbon footprint of the bag without compromising its sterile transfer capabilities.

On May 8, the FDA sent a letter to healthcare providers in the US relating to the Cardiosave intra-aortic balloon pump and the Cardiohelp ECLS system. The letter did not refer to any new field actions but users were recommended to change to other alternatives where possible. Naturally we take this very seriously and therefore suspended active marketing of related products in the US. Since then, we have accelerated improvement measures and the schedule for the next generation of these products. We are in close dialog with customers and the authorities, but it is too early to see any specific sales trend in the short term. During the quarter, we also submitted an application for CE certificate approval for new packaging for the two ECMO therapy consumables (HLS and PLS sets).

The operating margin improved compared with last year due to strong sales and a positive product mix. This supports a solid financial position that enables investments in profitable growth. I look forward to continuing our work in the second half of the year to create value for our customers in their important commitment to deliver more and better healthcare to more patients."

Adjusted EBITA – bridge between Q2 2023 and Q2 2024

  • Acute Care Therapies' adjusted EBITA increased by SEK 459 M, mainly due to higher sales and positive mix effects.
  • Life Science's adjusted EBITA rose by SEK 7 M, primarily due to a favorable product mix, price adjustments and acquisitions.
  • Adjusted EBITA for Surgical Workflows increased by SEK 27 M, mainly due to acquisitions.

  • Adjusted operating expenses increased organically by 7.3%, mainly due to higher costs for employee remuneration and quality improvement efforts in Cardiopulmonary and Cardiac Assist. Inorganically, adjusted operating expenses increased by 13.4%, mainly due to additional costs arising from acquired units.

  • The year-on-year difference for other operating income and expenses was mainly attributable to currency effects related to operating receivables and liabilities in foreign currency.
  • Exchange-rate fluctuations, meaning translation and transaction effects, impacted adjusted gross profit by SEK 35 M compared with last year, of which SEK 12 M in translation effects and SEK 23 M in transaction effects and hedging outcome.
  • The change in adjusted EBITA attributable to currency effects was SEK 11 M, of which essentially the entire amount was related to the net of transaction effects, hedging outcome and revaluation of operating receivables and liabilities in foreign currency.
  • Free cash flow was positively impacted by improved operating profit, but negatively by changes in working capital, mainly attributable to inventory, current receivables and operating liabilities.
  • The financial position remains solid, with a low share of net interestbearing debt in relation to EBITDA.

Events in the business area in the quarter

  • EU MDR approval of the Advanta V12 covered stent system used by patients with constricted or blocked large blood vessels that provide blood to the legs.
  • FDA 510(k) clearance for the innovative clinical decision support software Talis Advanced Clinical Guidance, steering in a new era of improving quality of care.
  • Launch of Pulsiocare, an advanced hemodynamic monitoring platform that recently received its CE certificate. It provides customers with a modern and intuitive-to-use platform for patient monitoring and hemodynamic assessment.
  • Upgrades to HLS and PLS packaging for ECLS consumables were submitted to TÜV SÜD for approval.
  • On May 8, the FDA sent a letter to healthcare providers in the US. The letter does not refer to any new field actions, but healthcare providers are encouraged to move from using Getinge's Cardiosave, Cardiohelp and HLS sets to alternative products and to continue to use Getinge's products only if no other options are available. As a result of the FDA's letter, Getinge has decided to suspend marketing activities for the relevant products in the US until outstanding actions related to quality improvements have been taken and approved. Sales of these products are restricted to customers who do not have any other alternatives.
  • The organic order intake for Acute Care Therapies increased during the quarter, mainly in Critical Care, Cardiopulmonary and Cardiac Surgery.
  • The organic order intake increased sharply in APAC and EMEA, while the performance in Americas was relatively weak, primarily as a result of lower order intake in intra-aortic balloon pumps.
  • Organic net sales for Acute Care Therapies increased significantly following strong sales of consumables in both Cardiopulmonary and Cardiac Assist.
  • Sales in all regions increased sharply in the quarter.
  • Organically, both recurring revenue, including service, and capital goods performed positively in the quarter.
  • The adjusted gross margin increased by 3.6 percentage points, primarily as a result of higher sales, a positive product mix and currency. This was partly offset by higher costs for input goods, personnel and quality improvement efforts in Cardiac Assist and Cardiopulmonary.
  • Adjusted operating expenses increased by 9.6% organically, primarily as a result of higher operating expenses to manage the challenges in Cardiopulmonary and Cardiac Assist as well as higher costs for employees and purchase of services. Adjusted operating expenses increased inorganically by 10.5%.
  • Higher sales and a higher gross margin contributed to an increase of SEK 459 M in adjusted EBITA compared to last year, and the margin increased by 8.3 percentage points.
  • Currency effects impacted sales by SEK -4 M, adjusted gross profit by SEK 23 M and adjusted EBITA by SEK 7 M.

Risk management

External risks

Description Potential consequences Management
External shocks,
such as geopolitical
risks, natural
disasters, terrorism,
pandemics, etc.
These are often quickly escalating
situations that affect large parts of
the world, a country, a region or a
specific site.
The primary consequence of this type
of risk is that employees could be
injured. There is also the risk of
business interruptions that could have
a negative impact on sales and
earnings.
Active business intelligence can detect some of these risks at an early stage and
the Group will then have the opportunity to adapt to the new situation. The
process of further enhancing the Group's work on continuity risks continued at
the start of 2024. As part of this process, scenarios based on external shocks will
also be included in the risks that Getinge proactively works on.
Getinge conducts operations in Russia in accordance with international sanctions
and regulations via a small sales company. The activities in the country are
currently limited to fulfilling existing customer commitments. However, the
circumstances
for conducting operations in the country have gradually deteriorated. Getinge
does not conduct any manufacturing operations in either Russia or Ukraine and
has no major suppliers in these countries. When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022,
the Group's sales in Russia and Ukraine represented less than 1% of the Group's
total net sales and equity. Despite the limited direct impact that the invasion has
had on Getinge's operations in Russia and Ukraine, the Russian invasion of
Ukraine may nevertheless have a negative impact on the development of the
Group's earnings and position. However, it is difficult at the current time to assess
the future consequences of the conflict and its impact on the Group.
Interruptions in
supply chains /
dependence on
external suppliers
External suppliers that deliver critical
components to the Group are a highly
important part of Getinge's
manufacturing process. Production
disruptions may arise if these
components are not supplied on
schedule.
One of the potential consequences of
this is that life saving equipment may
not be delivered to customers as
required for maintaining critical
healthcare.
Getinge works actively to monitor critical deliveries. This process is initiated when
the partnership is established and is then continuously monitored. The purchasing
organization has tools for evaluating risk and for training in this area. The Group
also works on ensuring that it has adequate levels of critical components in stock,
in its own operations or with the relevant supplier. Interruptions of critical
deliveries are also an important part of activities related to business continuity
risks. See "Business interruptions."
Risks related to
healthcare
reimbursement
systems
Political decisions can change the
conditions for healthcare through
changed reimbursement models for
healthcare providers.
Changes to the healthcare
reimbursement system can have a
major impact on individual markets by
reducing or deferring grants.
It is difficult to influence this risk since these decisions are outside the Group's
control but the risk is limited by Getinge being active in a large number of markets.
New competitors
and new
technology
Certain markets and product
segments have niche players who
offer solutions outside customary
market behavior.
These competitors could capture
market shares from more established
companies such as Getinge, resulting
in a negative effect on Getinge's sales
and earnings.
Getinge's long-term strategy includes active business intelligence of the
competitive landscape to react to this type of competitors. The industry is also
considered to have high barriers to entry since medical devices are subject to
extensive regulatory requirements.
Increased
expectations and
new laws and
regulations
related to
sustainability
The sustainability requirements and
expectations placed on Getinge as a
company are changing, and the scope
is increasing rapidly.
Getinge's failure to meet the ever
increasing challenging expectations on
environmental, social and governance
aspects could negatively impact the
company's reputation, operations and
earnings. It may also have a negative
impact on the company's ability to
recruit and retain staff, and risk
disqualifying the company from
participating in tenders with specific
requirements.
By engaging with stakeholders and improving its materiality assessment and ERM
process (Enterprise Risk Management), Getinge increases its understanding of the
expectations placed on the company. It is also beneficial that the company has
adopted the focus areas that are to be prioritized moving forward. In addition, the
company has developed its sustainability framework, focusing on the products
and solutions placed on the market to ensure quality and corporate responsibility.
This also leads to employee engagement. In 2023, the company's targets for net
zero emissions were approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The
company reports annually on its performance in sustainability in a transparent
manner in accordance with the GRI standards and is making preparations ahead
of the forthcoming CSRD.
Increasing
competition for
public funds
Reduced public budget scope for
purchasing and investing in medical
devices.
Increasing competition for budget
space could result in a lower allocation
of public funds to be used for
investments in medical devices and
lower sales for the Group as a result.
To date, this has not been a strong trend, but the Group considers it a risk for the
future and must carefully monitor the sales organization to be able to identify any
such signals at an early stage. The risk primarily applies to medical devices of an
infrastructure nature such as equipment for operating rooms and sterilization
equipment, which comprises more than half of the Group's total offering. In the US
market, which is Getinge's largest market, hospitals are primarily run by private
companies, which reduces dependence on public funds. An important aspect of
Getinge's strategy is to offer solutions that improve the efficiency of healthcare,

which is believed to generate healthy demand even in times where the budget

scope is more constrained.

Operational risks

Description Potential consequences Management
Quality risks from a
regulatory
perspective
Significant parts of Getinge's product
range are covered by legislation
stipulating extensive assessments,
quality control and documentation.
It cannot be ruled out that Getinge's
operations, financial position and
earnings may be negatively impacted in
the future by difficulties in complying
with current regulations and
requirements of authorities and control
bodies or changes to such regulations
and requirements.
To limit these risks to the greatest possible extent, Getinge conducts extensive
work focused on quality and regulatory issues. The Group-wide Quality
Compliance, Regulatory & Medical Affairs function has a representative in the
Getinge Executive Team and also a representative on the management teams of
each business area, and the function is represented in all R&D and production
units. In addition, Getinge's sales force and service technicians receive relevant
quality and regulatory training every other year to renew their certification. This is a
requirement for representing Getinge. The majority of the Group's production
facilities are certified according to the medical device quality standard ISO 13485
and/or the general quality standard ISO 9001. In total, the Group allocates
significant resources to quality and regulatory matters in order to best manage this
risk exposure, and quality is the overall priority in the Group's strategy. As
previously reported in the first quarter of 2023, the notifying body decided to
suspend the CE certificate for Getinge's HLS and PLS set for ECMO therapy and for
Getinge's intra-aortic balloon pumps. As a result, the company initiated corrective
actions to regain the CE certificate for these products. In connection with the Q3
report, the market was informed that Getinge had received an extension to the
exception for deliveries of ECMO consumables until September 2024, and that the
CE certificate for the intra-aortic balloon pump had been reinstated. In the first
quarter, the notified body temporarily suspended the CE certificate for intra-aortic
balloon pumps and the company has been given six months to take the required
corrective actions. These challenges are expected to be handled in 2024, followed
by an application for regulatory approval where necessary. However, unforeseen
events may impact the above-mentioned timelines.
On May 8, the FDA sent a letter to healthcare providers in the US. The letter does
not refer to any new field actions, but healthcare providers are encouraged to
move from using Getinge's Cardiosave, Cardiohelp and HLS sets to alternative
products and to continue to use Getinge's products only if no other options are
available. As a result of the FDA's letter, Getinge has decided to suspend marketing
activities for the relevant products in the US until outstanding actions related to
quality improvements have been taken and approved. Sales of these products are
restricted to customers who do not have any other alternatives.
Product quality from
a customer
perspective
In certain cases, Getinge's products do
not meet customer expectations.
Customers experiencing shortcomings
in Getinge's product quality results in a
higher risk of customers choosing other
suppliers. This could entail a risk of
lower sales and lower profitability over
time.
Getinge applies a far-reaching quality process that aims to ensure a high and even
level of quality to meet customers' legitimately high requirements. This is an
ongoing process that results in continuous improvements. When quality fails, it is
important to rapidly bring the right equipment on site to rectify the fault during the
first service visit. Getinge closely monitors the "first time fix" factor of its services
operations and works extensively to make improvements related to such faults or
shortcomings.
Product liability risks Healthcare suppliers run a risk, like
other players in the healthcare
industry, of being subject to product
liability and other legal claims.
Such claims can involve large amounts
and significant legal expenses. Getinge
carries the customary indemnity and
product liability insurances, but there is
a risk that this insurance coverage may
not fully cover product liability and
other claims.
The best way of managing these risks is the extensive quality-related and
regulatory activities performed by the Group. Sources of potential future claims for
damages are monitored through active incident reporting. Corrective and
protective action (CAPA) is initiated when necessary to investigate the underlying
cause, after which the product design may be corrected to remedy the fault. The
settlement process regarding the Multidistrict Litigation (MDL) for surgical mesh
implants, which Getinge announced previously, has been completed and payment
of the majority of the settlement amount was made in the first quarter of 2023. The
settlement is not an admission of liability or wrongdoing by the company. Getinge
will continue to defend against any litigation that cannot be resolved under the
final agreement. Costs for such processes are not expected to be material.
Information and data
security
Leaks of confidential information or
hacking into the Group's IT system
resulting in restricted availability or
interruptions of business-critical
systems.
Leaks of personal data could lead to
high fines. Hacking into IT systems
could lead to business interruptions. A
loss of sensitive information may
adversely affect confidence in the
company.
The Group's IT structure is to be considered to be decentralized, which reduces the
consequence of any unauthorized access. The Group has improved user
authentication during the year to prevent hacking. This work will continue in the
year ahead. The Group also closely monitors critical systems to prevent hacking.
Deficiencies in
cybersecurity
Security deficiencies in the Group's
digital offering, such as connected
machines at customer sites
and stricter legal requirements for
processing personal data.
Restricted availability of equipment
delivered by Getinge to its customers,
which could result in interruptions to
the hospital operations and it not being
possible to offer patients sufficient care
in critical situations.
Getinge works diligently to ensure the integrity of its equipment that is connected
to the Internet. Comprehensive access testing is carried out before these solutions
are offered to the Group's customers.
Business
interruptions
Unforeseen and sudden events, such
as natural disasters, fires, etc. that
result in disruptions to production or
the supply chain.
Potential interruptions and higher costs
in the supply chain and production could
lead to more costly or delayed deliveries
or, in a worst case scenario, non-delivery
to Getinge's customers. Such a situation
risks negative consequences for the
Group's earnings.
There is a risk of temporary business interruptions linked to a further deterioration
in access to key components such as semiconductors as a result of for example
the uncertain global security situation. The Group continuously works on claims
prevention to ensure a high level of availability and delivery reliability. External
experts inspect the Group's production units on a regular basis to identify and take
action on potential interruption risks, following a Group-wide standard. The
process of further improving the Group's business is constantly ongoing.

Laws and regulations
mainly on business
ethics
Breaches of competition law, anti
corruption, data privacy (such as
GDPR) or trade restrictions.
Could lead to fines or penalties in one or
more markets and have a negative
impact on the Getinge brand.
Getinge has previously provided information about ongoing investigations and
agreements with the authorities regarding anti-competitive procedures in the sale
of medical devices in Brazil. This process is constantly ongoing. It cannot be ruled
out that any further agreements with authorities may have a material impact on
the company's financial earnings and position, but it is not currently possible to
estimate the amount or date. Getinge has a zero tolerance policy when it comes to
contraventions of these regulations. The Group's Code of Conduct is very clear in
this respect. The Ethics & Compliance corporate function was expanded in recent
years and the head of the department has been a member of the Getinge Executive
Team since 2020 to further demonstrate how highly the organization prioritizes
these issues. A comprehensive training program in business ethics is provided on
an ongoing basis and the aim is for all employees to undergo such training at least
once a year. Getinge's business ethics regulations also apply to external
distributors who sell Getinge's products in a large number of countries in which the
Group does not have its own presence.
Dependence on
meeting climate
targets
Getinge is dependent on meeting the
climate targets set to reach net zero
emissions by 2050 that were approved
by the SBTi. Getinge's analysis shows
that the majority of emissions comes
from the purchases of goods, logistics
and the use of products. As a result,
the company does not have full
If Getinge does not meet its climate
targets, it could have a significant
negative impact on the company's
reputation and operations, in addition
to negative climate impacts.
In 2023 and 2024, Getinge has focused on better understanding the actions that
will be required to meet its Scope 3 emissions target (25% reduction by 2030).
Through this, the company has identified necessary measures such as reducing air
freight, improving the energy efficiency of products introduced to the market and
replacing high emission materials. At the same time, the company is preparing for
dialog both upstream and downstream in the value chain to increase the use of
renewable electricity and energy.

control over its emissions and cannot therefore directly impact their decline.

Strategic risks

Description Potential consequences Management
Digitization and
innovation
Getinge's future growth depends
on the company's ability to
develop new and successful
products, particularly in the area of
digitization. Getinge's ability to
innovate is a very important factor
in retaining and establishing
leading positions for the Group's
product segments.
Innovation efforts are costly and it is
not possible to guarantee that
developed products will be
commercially successful, which could
result in impairment. In the long term,
the Group's market position could be
negatively affected if Getinge is
unsuccessful in this area.
As means of maximizing the return on investments in research and development,
the Group applies a structured selection and planning process that includes
careful analyses of the market, technological progress, choice of production
method and selection of subcontractors. The actual development work is also
conducted in a structured manner and each project undergoes a number of fixed
controls. The Group is particularly concerned with ensuring access to the right
skills, retaining key individuals, being an attractive employer to recruit talent
externally, and identifying and developing talent within the organization.
Fragmented product
portfolio
Getinge's product portfolio
consists, to a certain extent, of a
large number of acquisitions that
were made throughout the years
within a variety of product
categories.
An offering to our customers that, in
certain parts, is too diverse could lead
to Getinge lacking the critical mass
needed to conduct fully efficiency
operations in all product categories.
Efforts are being made to enhance the efficiency of the customer offering under
the framework of the ongoing strategic activities in each business area. The
introduction of the new EU Medical Device Regulation means priorities need to be
made regarding the certification of products under the new regulatory framework.
Products have been selected that, over the long term, will be a part of the
customer offering, which will lead to increased concentration as well as
streamlining.
Risks related to
intellectual property
rights
Getinge's leading positions in
many of the Group's product
segments are based on patent and
trademark rights. These rights
could lead to disputes with
competitors.
Getinge invests significant resources in
product development that results in
patent rights. There is a risk that the
Group will be involved in costly
disputes concerning such rights and
thus a risk that invested resources will
not generate the expected return if
such a dispute is lost.
To secure returns on these investments, Getinge actively upholds its rights and
monitors competitors' activities closely. If required, Getinge will protect its
intellectual property rights through legal processes.
Financial risks Getinge is exposed to a number
of financial risks in its
operations. Financial risks
principally pertain to currency
risks, interest-rate risks, and
credit and counterparty risks.
Fluctuations in exchange rates and
interest rates and changes in
counterparties' credit profiles could
adversely affect the Group's income
statement and balance sheet.
Risk management is regulated by the finance policy adopted by the Board and a
Treasury directive decided by the Getinge Executive Team based on the finance
policy. The ultimate responsibility for managing the Group's financial risks and
developing methods and principles of financial risk management lies with the
Getinge Executive Team and the treasury function. For more detailed information
concerning these risks, refer to Note 28 of the Annual Report.
Profitability dependent
on certain products
and markets
In certain cases, a relatively
large share of the total
profitability of a product is
linked to shares in a certain
market.
The consequence of such a situation
is that profitability can be adversely
affected if sales volumes were to
decline due to a changed competitive
situation in the market.
Getinge works actively to monitor profitability per product and market in order to
ensure profitability over time. To reduce the sensitivity of profitability, the Group
actively works on ensuring that it has the right cost level in relation to the current
price levels in the market. Getinge also works actively to establish itself in new
markets.
Transferring the
product portfolio
Long lead times in research and
development due to
comprehensive regulations and
long validation processes are
hampering rapid development to
more sustainable product and
packaging solutions. The medical
device market is strictly regulated,
partly to ensure patient safety,
which can affect how quickly
Getinge's products can become
sustainable.
If it is not possible to transfer Getinge's
product and packaging solutions to
more sustainable solutions quickly
enough, there is a risk that Getinge's
reputation and competitiveness could
decline.
Getinge will always prioritize patient safety and follow applicable regulations.
Without impacting our fundamental approach, the company has expanded the
implementation of eco-design principles in its development process and has
begun to carry out life cycle assessments of its product and packaging solutions
to ensure that advances can be made when the opportunity arises.

Note 8 Acquisitions

In October 2023, Getinge acquired 100% of the shares in High Purity New England, Inc. An additional agreement was signed and final reconciliation of the acquisition balance sheet took place in the second quarter of 2024. This resulted in a reduced purchase price of SEK 31 M, which has primarily been recognized as a reduction in goodwill. With this additional agreement, provisions for contingent considerations that were made in connection with the acquisition have now been dissolved and approximately SEK 14 M was recognized in Other operating income.

Healthmark Industries Co. Inc. was acquired in October last year. In the second quarter of 2024, the acquisition balance sheet was finalized, which resulted in adjustments to working capital of approximately SEK 9 M, of which SEK 6 M was a reduction in the amount of goodwill.

A payment of SEK 325 M was also made in the second quarter relating to milestones in the acquisition of Talis Clinical in 2021. The payment was in line with accruals and hence had no impact on earnings.

Additional shares amounting to SEK 6 M were acquired in Pulsion Medical Systems SE from a non-controlling interest in the second quarter of 2024.
