"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."

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

| 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. |
| 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.
The Board of Directors and CEO assure that the interim report provides a true and fair review of the Parent Company and the Group's operations, position and earnings and describes the material risks and uncertainties faced by the Parent Company and the Group.
