Interim report

January – March 2023

Comments from Mattias Perjos, CEO

Increased sales, strengthened earnings and PMA approval for iCast in the US

"The order intake and net sales increased organically by 2.9% and 7.5%, respectively, during the quarter. This was mainly as a result of high demand for ventilators for the expansion of intensive care in China, a recovery in cardiovascular procedures and major deliveries in Surgical Workflows to meet demand for productivity-enhancing infrastructure in healthcare.

Surgical Workflows increased its sales by almost 20% organically due to better access to components, which meant that deliveries could be brought forward. Supply chain constraints eased in the quarter and are now mainly concentrated to intra-aortic balloon pumps and ECMO therapy products in Acute Care Therapies, for which we have orders valued at just over SEK 400 M that are pending delivery. This is expected to take place in the second half of the year. Life Science is mainly affected by significantly reduced demand for products related to COVID-19 vaccines and we do not expect to return to a phase of growth until the second half of the year. All in all, this means that our forecast of 2-5% organic growth for 2023 remains intact.

The higher sales volumes, price increases and positive currency effects contributed to both gross and operating profit strengthening, despite higher costs for purchases of both input goods and services as well as salaries. We are working actively to continue to raise prices and lower our costs, which will have a slightly delayed effect. Free cash flow was better than in the year-earlier period excluding large payments related to the final settlement regarding surgical mesh products. Getinge's financial position remains solid with low net debt.

During the quarter, we reported the suspension of the CE certificate and quality-related field safety corrective actions for our intra-aortic balloon pump. The CE certificate was also suspended for ECMO therapy consumables due to packaging deficiencies. However, deliveries to existing customers have been approved in accordance with EU regulations, due to the benefits provided by the products. We take these incidents very seriously and have taken the appropriate action, which could result in some delivery disruptions in the second quarter. Ultra Clean Systems, a leading US manufacturer of ultrasonic cleaning technologies used to decontaminate surgical instruments, was acquired in March. This is part of ensuring an attractive product portfolio in the important US market. During the quarter, we received premarket approval (PMA) in the US from the FDA for the iCast™ stent system for the treatment of patients with iliac arterial occlusive disease. We expect that this will start to contribute to higher sales and stronger margins for Acute Care Therapies from the fourth quarter this year."

Net sales – bridge between Q1 2022 and Q1 2023

  • Currency effects impacted adjusted gross profit by SEK 287 M and adjusted EBITA by SEK 146 M during the quarter.
  • The gross margin declined as an effect of increased costs related to inflation, negative mix effects and supply chain challenges. These effects were offset by higher sales volumes, price increases, activities to enhance productivity and favorable currency effects.
  • Adjusted operating expenses increased by 16.1%, mainly due to negative currency effects and higher costs for purchases of services, salaries and increased R&D activities. Operating expenses increased organically by 10%.
  • Adjusted EBITA rose by SEK 133 M year-on-year and the margin was unchanged.
  • Net financial items amounted to SEK -75 M mainly as a result of higher average interest expenses and negative currency effects.

Adjusted EBITA – bridge between Q1 2022 and Q1 2023

  • Acute Care Therapies' adjusted EBITA increased SEK 101 M due to higher sales volumes and currency effects. An unfavorable product mix and inflation had a negative effect, which contributed to the margin falling slightly.
  • Life Science's adjusted EBITA declined by SEK 70 M mainly due to lower volumes, and the margin fell 6.7 percentage points.
  • Surgical Workflows' adjusted EBITA improved by SEK 108 M and the margin improved by 5.9 percentage points due to higher sales volumes and positive currency effects.

  • Adjusted operating expenses increased by 16.1%, mainly due to negative currency effects and higher costs for purchases of services, salaries and increased R&D activities.

  • Operating expenses increased organically by 10%.
  • The negative trend in other operating income and expenses was mainly attributable to currency effects related to operating receivables and liabilities in foreign currency.
  • Exchange-rate fluctuations (translation and transaction effects) impacted adjusted gross profit by SEK 287 M compared with last year, of which SEK 228 M in translation effects and SEK 59 M in transaction effects and hedging outcome.
  • Adjusted EBITA was impacted by translation effects of SEK 52 M and the net of transaction effects, hedging outcome and revaluation of operating receivables and liabilities in foreign currency of SEK 94 M.
  • Free cash flow was negatively impacted by a large payment related to the final settlement regarding surgical mesh that was previously reported. Excluding this item, free cash flow was higher than last year.
  • The change in working capital was mainly due to the payment related to surgical mesh.
  • The financial status remains strong, with low net interest-bearing debt in relation to EBITDA.

Sustainability developments

Getinge's sustainability framework covers the focus areas of Quality Culture, Passionate Employees, Environmental & Social Engagement and Business Ethics & Responsible Leadership. The aim is to generate sustainable value for customers, employees and other stakeholders. At the Capital Markets Day in November 2021, targets were set for the four focus areas and Getinge reports on its quarterly performance in the relevant indicators presented below.

  • Key areas Quality Culture Improved customer quality index (%)1) 3) 63 64 Online customer training (training courses) 52,305 52,328 Passionate Employees Sick leave (%)3) 3,2 3,2 Percentage of female employees (%)3) 37 37 Environmental & Social Engagement

      • 3) Average for the period
  • The trend in the improved customer quality index was mainly due to the higher number of open complaints, and an increase in corrective measures compared with prior quarters. These effects are considered to be of a temporary nature.
  • Carbon emissions, energy consumption and share of renewable energy are continuing to perform in a positive direction due to ongoing improvements in the operations.

Acute Care Therapies

Acute Care Therapies offers world-leading solutions for life support in acute health conditions. The offering includes solutions for cardiovascular procedures and a broad selection of products and therapies for intensive care.

Order intake and net sales

  • The higher organic order intake in Acute Care Therapies was primarily attributable to ventilators for the Chinese market and cardiac surgery products in North America.
  • The organic order intake for ECMO therapy products increased marginally year-on-year.
  • Organic net sales for Acute Care Therapies increased in APAC due to large deliveries of ventilators to the Chinese market. Net sales also increased in products for cardiovascular procedures.
  • Net sales were negatively affected by the continuing shortage of components mainly in intra-aortic balloon pumps and ECMO therapy. This is expected to have adversely impacted sales for the quarter by at least SEK 400 M.
  • The adjusted gross margin declined by 0.6 of a percentage point mainly due to an unfavorable product mix, a shortage of components and higher costs for input goods and personnel, which were offset by higher sales volumes, positive currency effects, price increases and continuing productivity activities.
  • Adjusted operating expenses increased by 16.5%, mainly due to negative currency effects and higher R&D costs, purchases of services and increased salary costs. Organically these expenses increased by 10.1%.
  • Higher adjusted gross profit contributed to an increase of SEK 101 M in adjusted EBITA compared with last year. The margin decreased by 0.5 of a percentage point.
  • Currency effects impacted sales by SEK 284, adjusted gross profit by SEK 193 M and adjusted EBITA by SEK 105 M.

  • The order intake increased in EMEA during the quarter, mainly as a result of increased activity with customers in Northern Europe.
  • Net sales for Life Science fell organically, mainly as a result of a tangible decline in demand for products related to COVID-19 vaccines. The positive trend in the service business continued.
  • Recurring revenue declined as a result of lower volumes of consumables related to the production of COVID-19 vaccines.
  • The adjusted gross margin fell by 0.6 of a percentage point as a result of lower volumes, higher costs for input goods and personnel. Favorable currency effects and cost savings contributed positively to the margin.
  • Adjusted operating expenses increased by 23.2% as a result of negative currency effects and higher costs for purchases of services and salaries. Expenses increased organically by 18.5%.
  • Adjusted EBITA declined by SEK 70 M and the margin fell by 6.7 percentage points because of a lower adjusted gross profit and higher adjusted operating expenses.

Events in the business area in the quarter

  • As a consequence of increased demand for DPTE-AlphaPort® in recent quarters Getinge has initiated a project to increase production capacity by 50% at the production unit in Vendôme, France. This is of strategic importance since a larger installed base contributes to higher demand for DPTE-BetaBag®.
  • In order to increase productivity, the business area initiated rationalizations in the production of DPTE® BetaBag, bioreactors and isolators during the quarter. This improvement work will continue during the year.

Surgical Workflows

Surgical Workflows offers products and solutions to serve as an end-to-end partner for optimizing the quality, safety and capacity usage of the sterile supply departments and operating rooms.

Order intake and net sales

  • The order intake for Surgical Workflows increased organically in all product categories.
  • APAC and EMEA accounted for tangible growth, while the order intake for Americas was slightly lower than last year, which featured sharp growth.
  • Surgical Workflows increased its net sales organically in all product categories and grew substantially in both Americas and EMEA.
  • Improvements in the supply chain contributed positively to capital goods for the quarter. Recurring revenue also increased organically in all areas (consumables, service and spare parts).
  • The adjusted gross margin increased by 0.4 of a percentage point, primarily as a result of higher sales volumes, positive currency effects, price increases and productivity improvements. This was offset to a certain extent by higher costs for input goods and personnel.
  • Adjusted operating expenses increased by 14.6%, mainly due to acquisitions and currency effects as well as a higher level of activity in sales and higher costs for purchases of services and salaries. Organically these expenses increased by 7.8%.
  • Adjusted EBITA increased by SEK 108 M and the margin increased by 5.9 percentage points because of higher adjusted gross profit.

Events in the business area in the quarter

Getinge announced the acquisition of 100% of the shares of Ultra Clean Systems Inc., a leading US manufacturer of ultrasonic cleaning technologies, used in hospitals and surgery centers to decontaminate surgical instruments.

Other information

Russian invasion of Ukraine

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 and selectively participating in tender processes. Since Getinge's mission is to save lives irrespective of nationality and background, Getinge has decided not to fully withdraw from the Russian market. The Group's sales in Russia and Ukraine in 2022 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. It is difficult at the current time to assess the future consequences of the conflict and its impact on the Group. However, Getinge does not conduct any manufacturing operations in either Russia or Ukraine and has no major suppliers in these countries. A potential negative effect is that the supply of natural gas at the Group's plants in Poland and Germany may be restricted, and mitigating measures have been taken to alleviate the effects of such a situation.

Events after the end of the reporting period

No significant events occurred after the end of the reporting period.

Seasonal variations

Getinge's sales and earnings are affected by seasonal variations. The highest net sales are usually generated in the fourth quarter, followed by the second, third and first quarters. The shares of sales derived from capital goods and recurring revenue also normally changes during the year, with a higher share of sales of capital goods toward the end of the year.

Transactions with related parties

Getinge carried out normal commercial transactions with Arjo (which was distributed to shareholders in December 2017) for the sale and purchase of goods and services. In addition, no other significant transactions with related parties occurred during the period other than transactions with subsidiaries.

Forward-looking information

This report contains forward-looking information based on the current expectations of company management. Although management deems that the expectations presented by such forwardlooking information are reasonable, no guarantee can be given that these expectations will prove correct. Accordingly, the actual future outcome could vary considerably compared with what is stated in the forward-looking information, due to such factors as changed conditions regarding finances, market and competition, changes in legal and regulatory requirements and other political measures, and fluctuations in exchange rates.

Getinge's financial targets 2022-2025 and dividend policy

  • Average annual organic growth in net sales: 4-6%
  • Average adjusted earnings per share growth: >10%
  • Getinge's dividend policy is to pay dividends of 30-50% of net profit to shareholders.

Getinge's sustainability targets 2022–2025

  • Improved customer quality index >70%
  • Employee commitment >70%
  • CO2 neutral in own operations by 2025
  • All employees trained in business ethics and responsible leadership.

Risk management

Getinge's primary 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 continue in
2022. As part of this process, scenarios based on external shocks will also be
included in the risks that Getinge proactively works on.
On February 24, 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine. In financial terms, the continuing
war may have a negative impact on the development of the Group's earnings and
position. It is not possible at the current time to assess the direct long-term
consequences. A potential indirect negative effect is that the supply of natural gas
to the Group's plants in Poland and Germany may be affected. As a result, Getinge
has taken mitigating measures.
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.
During the second quarter of 2022, an internal investigation was completed
related to potential violations of German medical device laws associated with
sterile packaging of HLS Sets, for which a total of five current and former Getinge
employees are being investigated by the prosecution authority in Baden-Baden,
Germany. As a consequence, structural changes are being made to strengthen the
culture of quality in the organization. Comprehensive remediation measures
regarding packaging have already been initiated and Getinge is fully cooperating
with the prosecution authority. At this stage, it is not possible to estimate whether
the final outcome of the public investigation will have any impact on Getinge.
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.
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 could
choose 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.
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,
either 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" below.
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 position in the market
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.

Other risks of major importance

Description Potential consequences Management
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.
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 for surgical
mesh implants, which Getinge announced previously, has been completed and the
majority of the payment was made in the first quarter of 2023.
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 in the annual report.
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 cyber
security
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 and other measures are 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 the pandemic and
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 continuity will continue in 2023.
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.
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.
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 continued in 2022 and is 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.

Assurance
