2 Defined according to IFRS
2017 was a good year for Bactiguard. We contribute to saving many lives by preventing healthcare related infections, and it is becoming increasingly clear that infection prevention is high on the agenda in healthcare globally. Therefore, we are pleased that more and more patients have access to effective and safe infection prevention, not least in Sweden, where we won several strategically important tenders during the year.
Our 2017 objective was to generate growth, with sustained cost control, to approach our long-term financial targets of 20 percent growth and an EBITDA margin of 30 percent. It is therefore gratifying to note that sales for the full year amounted to close to MSEK 154, which means growth of 20 percent, quite in line with our targets. The EBITDA margin was 22 percent, which is a significant improvement over the 12 percent reported in 2016, but we have some way to go before reaching our profitability target.
The growth is mainly related to new licensing deals, while revenues from our largest licensing partner C.R. Bard are stable. The collaboration with Vigilenz for orthopedic trauma implants and Smartwise for advanced vascular injection catheters is developing well, and we are also working on new exciting projects.
Sales of our own product portfolio are developing positively and we can now put nine quarters of rising sales behind us, generating sales growth of nearly 40 percent for the year, but not in line with our target for the year to double sales.
Volumes are gradually increasing in all regions, and as all products in our product portfolio are approved for use in more markets, revenues increase through an improved product mix.
Marketwise, we saw the biggest growth in China and the Middle East, but Europe also developed positively. Sales to China increased by 50 percent and we delivered a large order just before the turn of the year. Sales activities aimed at the larger hospitals and developing our partner's sales organization are ongoing with high intensity. In the Middle East, we more than doubled our revenues following strong developments in all markets in the region. We have new partners in some of the major existing markets and we have established new partnerships in Egypt and South Africa. This makes us confident about future developments.
India was sales wise somewhat disappointing during the year, mainly since it takes time to find suitable partners, which delayed the sales process. The importance of having a broad product portfolio addressing the needs of seriously ill and infection-sensitive patients also became evident when we finalized negotiations in November with our new partner, focused on intensive care. Now that we have two distributors, which together cover most of India's population, and all products in our portfolio are approved for sale, the prospects for 2018 are significantly better.
In Europe, we move our position forward and during the year we established partnership with a leading distributor of medical devices in Italy. But I particularly want to highlight the successful development in Sweden. During the year we won no less than three public tenders, in Stockholm, Skåne and Västra Götaland. The fact that the three largest county councils in Sweden have procured our products is a quality stamp we are proud of and an important reference to our export markets. It also means that our products are now procured in regions that together represent about 65 percent of the population and this is a very positive development.
We continue to invest in our sales and marketing organization by increasing the staff to drive sales. It has increased personnel costs and affected profitability for the year, but we see it as an important investment to generate growth. At the same time, we still focus on keeping a close cost control.
The clinical evidence continues to strengthen. In the fourth quarter, a study performed at the Karolinska University Hospital was published, which shows that Bactiguard's infection prevention central venous catheters led to significantly fewer incidents than a standard catheter. The study also showed that Bactiguard's coating does not expose patients to any risk when used in blood, which paves the way for wider use.
Finally, we secured our long-term financing in December through an agreement with Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken in the form of a three-year credit facility of a total of SEK 180 million. It replaces both previous bank financing and a loan from the company's major shareholder and is subject to market terms.
Overall, this year's development means that we have reached several important targets and are better equipped than ever to develop the business and expand the company.

The Hong Kong product approval for Bactiguard's central venous catheters for infection prevention (BIP CVC) was announced in October. Hong Kong is a small, but strategically important market, as it serves as a reference for new approvals and market acceptance in neighboring China.
In October, Bactiguard won a tender for urinary catheters for the Västra Götaland region (VGR) in Sweden. The contract runs for two years from 1 April 2018 and comprises BIP Foley Catheter Silicone. The tender has been appealed in other areas so the contract has not yet been enforced.
Bactiguard entered a partnership with Neon Laboratories Limited ("Neon") for the north, west and east zones of India. Bactiguard already has a distributor for southern India and will thus cover a majority of the country's population through the partnership with Neon. Bactiguard's urinary catheter (BIP Foley catheter) for infection prevention was launched in India in early 2016 and in August this year, the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare approved Bactiguard's central venous catheter (BIP CVC).
In December Bactiguard signed an agreement regarding a three-year credit facility of SEK 180 million with Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken (SEB), in the form of an overdraft facility of SEK 30 million and a term loan of SEK 150 million. The facility replaces a bank loan of SEK 100 million, which expired December 31, 2017, an overdraft facility of SEK 30 million and a loan from the company's main shareholders of SEK 50 million. The new term loan of SEK 150 million will be amortized by SEK 35 million until maturity. The credit facility is subject to customary covenants. Thus, the main shareholders' guarantee commitments for Bactiguard's financial obligations have been terminated.
A published clinical study3 conducted at Karolinska University Hospital in Sweden shows that Bactiguard's infection prevention central venous catheter - BIP CVC had significantly fewer adverse advents compared to a standard uncoated CVC. The study also shows that Bactiguard's noble metal coating does not expose patients or the environment to any risks in blood applications.
In November, the product approval for Bactiguard's endotracheal tubes was announced by the Indian Ministry of Health & Family Welfare. This means that Bactiguard can offer its complete portfolio of products for effective and safe infection prevention in India.
Bactiguard received a new order from China of 100 000 urinary catheters for infection prevention, which was delivered in December and generated revenues of some SEK 3 million.

The Nomination Committee of Bactiguard Holding AB (publ) proposes that the Annual General Meeting 2018 elects Jan Ståhlberg as new member and Chairman of the Board, as Stanley Brodén who has been the Chairman of the Board since 2015 has declined reelection. At year-end 2017, Jan Ståhlberg owned shares in Bactiguard corresponding to 4.8 percent of the capital and 2.3 percent of the votes, which means that he was the third largest shareholder in the company at the time.
Bactiguard has two revenue streams.
The BIP portfolio currently includes sales of the BIP Foley, BIP ETT and BIP CVC products.
License revenues are attributable to sales of products under license, which currently includes the Group's licensing agreement with C.R. Bard regarding Bactiguard coated Foley catheters for the USA, Japan, the UK, Ireland, Canada and Australia, a license agreement with Vigilenz Medical Devices for Bactiguard coated orthopedic trauma implants, covering the ASEAN region as well as a license agreement with Smartwise Sweden AB (Smartwise) for Bactiguard-coated vascular injection catheters.
Comprises mainly foreign exchange differences and other operating income.
Bactiguard's BIP (Bactiguard Infection Protection) product portfolio includes medical devices in three application areas: urinary tract, respiratory tract and blood streams.
| BIP Foley Catheter | BIP ETT | BIP CVC |
|---|---|---|
| BIP Foley Catheter is the company's urinary catheter, which uses the Bactiguard coating to reduce the risk of patients contracting catheter associated infections of the urinary tract. |
BIP ETT is the company's endotracheal tube, which uses the Bactiguard coating to reduce the risk of patients contracting ventilator associated pneumonia. |
BIP CVC is the company's central venous catheter, which uses the Bactiguard coating to reduce the risk of patients contracting catheter-associated blood infections. |

Of the total license revenues of SEK 31.1 (25.9) million, SEK 26.9 (25.9) million came from license revenues related to C.R. Bard, including a negative currency effect of SEK -2.9 (1.9) million. New license revenues from Smartwise amounted to SEK 4.2 million (USD 0.5 million), or approx. 10 % of revenues. This represents the fourth and final part of a total revenue in 2017 of USD 2.5 million, accounted for as revenue for the exclusive and global right to the Bactiguard technology for advanced vascular injection catheters.
Sales of BIP products amounted to SEK 7.4 (5.7) million, approx. 18% of revenues during the fourth quarter, with sales primarily to China and MEA (the Middle East and Africa). Out of SEK 7.4 million in revenues, SEK 3.8 million had a cash flow effect. The remaining revenues correspond to a reduction of the debt item deferred income in the balance sheet.
Other revenues during the quarter amounted to SEK 2.9 (2.0) million. The increase in other revenues was mainly attributable to exchange rate differences.
Consolidated revenues for the full year 2017 amounted to SEK 153.6 (128.3) million, an increase of approx. 20 % compared to the same period last year. The increase in revenues was mainly a result of new license revenues, which amounted to SEK 21.4 million. The bulk of the revenue SEK 104.3 (103.0) million was attributable to license revenues from C.R. Bard, including a negative currency effect of approx. SEK -0.7 (1.6) million.
Sales of BIP products amounted to SEK 21.8 (15.8) million, or approx. 14 % of total revenues, an increase of approx. 39 % compared to the corresponding period last year. The increase was primarily attributable to deliveries to China, MEA and Europe.
Other revenues during 2017 amounted to approx. 4 % or SEK 6.2 (9.6) million and are attributable to exchange rate differences and EU grants for development projects.

During the fourth quarter of 2017, approx.165,000 BIP products were delivered at a value of SEK 7.4 million compared to approx. 134,000 products at a value of SEK 5.7 million in the corresponding quarter of 2016.

Development per quarter, value in TSEK for delivered BIP products, rolling 12 months.
EBITDA for the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 8.8 (4.5) million corresponding to an EBITDA margin of approx. 21 % (14 %). The EBITDA increase of approx. 94 % compared with the corresponding quarter last year is mainly explained by the revenue growth. Other external costs decreased by SEK 0.5 million compared to last year as a result of lower costs for marketing and external consultants. Personnel costs increased by SEK 1.0 million in the quarter compared to corresponding period last year, an effect of investments in more employees within sales and marketing.
Other operating expenses includes exchange rate differences, which had a negative effect of SEK -1.5 (0.1) million in the quarter.
4 Since the product mix has changed over time, the importance of following delivered units has decreased in favour of illustrating the value of delivered BIP products.
Consolidated operating profit for the fourth quarter of 2017 amounted to SEK 0.1 (-3.9) million.
Financial items amounted to SEK -2.2 (-4.4) million. The decrease is an effect of lower interest expense due to the refinancing in December 2016. Interest expense related to interest bearing loans amounted to SEK -1.5 (-3.4) million.
Tax for the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 1.2 (0.9) million and refers to the change in deferred taxes attributable to temporary differences relating to the Group's intangible assets.
Consolidated net profit for the fourth quarter amounted to SEK -0.9 (-7.4) million.
EBITDA for the full year amounted to SEK 34.4 (15.1) million, corresponding to an EBITDA margin of approx. 22 % (12 %). The positive change compared to the corresponding period last year is mainly a consequence of new license revenues from the license agreement with Smartwise, but also from higher sales of BIP products.
The increase in Raw materials and consumables compared to last year was SEK -4.5 million and reflects the growth in sales of BIP-products during 2017.
During 2017, investments in more employees within sales and marketing were made, which resulted in increased personnel costs SEK -51.5 (-45.8) million compared to last year. Other external costs amounted to SEK -42.3 (-46.7) million, a decrease of SEK 4.4 million compared to last year, which is an effect of general cost control as well as replacing external sales while, at the same time, marketing costs have decreased.
Consolidated net profit for the full year 2017 amounted to SEK -3.3 (-26.9) million.
Operating cash flow (cash flow from operating activities after investments and changes in working capital) for the fourth quarter amounted to SEK -5.8 (-19.1) million. Cash flow from operating activities contributed positively by SEK 7.4 (-13.9) million, but was negatively affected by changes in working capital which amounted to SEK -9.7 (-2.8) million and by cash flow from investing activities which amounted to SEK -3.6 (-2.4) million. The increase in working capital was attributable to higher account receivables, related to the fourth part of the license deal with Smartwise and deliveries of BIP products.
Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK -2.2 (12.0) million. An up-front fee of SEK 1.8 million for the new credit facility affected the fourth quarter. The total cash flow for the fourth quarter amounted to SEK -8.0 (-7.1) million.
Operating cash flow for the full year 2017 amounted to SEK -0.1 (-19.8) million. Investments, mainly related to capitalized development expenditures, affected cash flow by SEK -6.2 (-7.4) million. Cash flow from financing activities was adversely affected by amortization of a financial lease SEK -1.4 (0) million, and an up-front fee of SEK -1.8 (0) million for the new credit facility.
Total cash flow for the full year 2017 was SEK -3.3 (-7.8) million.
Investments in property, plant and equipment during the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 2.5 (0) million.

The consolidated equity ratio was 62 % at 31 December 2017 (62 % at 31 December 2016) and equity amounted to SEK 387.1 million (SEK 390.3 million at 31 December 2016).
During the quarter, Bactiguard signed an agreement with Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken (SEB) regarding a three-year credit facility of SEK 180 million, in the form of an overdraft facility of SEK 30 million and a term loan of SEK 150 million. The credit facility replaces an earlier bank loan of SEK 100 million, the earlier overdraft facility of SEK 30 million as well as a loan from the company's main shareholders of SEK 50 million. The new term loan of SEK 150 million will be amortized by SEK 35 million until maturity. The credit facility is subject to customary covenants. Thus, the main shareholders' guarantee commitments for Bactiguard's financial obligations have been terminated.
Interest-bearing debt consist of a financial lease of SEK 13.9 million, and a three-year term loan of SEK 150.0 million. The term loan carries a base interest rate of STIBOR 90, but no less than 0 %, and a margin of 3.0 %.
Consolidated cash position on 31 December 2017 amounted to SEK 11.6 million (SEK 15.6 million on 31 December 2016). Out of a granted overdraft facility of SEK 30 million, SEK 0 million was utilized as of 31 December 2017. Net debt amounted to SEK 152.4 million (SEK 134.4 million on 31 December 2016).

Accounts receivable (short- and long term) amounted to SEK 56.9 million at 31 December 2017, which is an increase of SEK 8.0 million since 31 December 2016. The main reason for the increase is related to the fourth part of the license deal with Smartwise and deliveries of BIP products at the end of the fourth quarter.

| Accounting and valuation principles The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Reporting and the Annual Accounts Act. Disclosures in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Reporting are submitted both in notes and elsewhere in the interim report. The parent company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and the Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities. |
|||||||
| The accounting and valuation principles are unchanged from those applied in the Annual Report 2016. | |||||||
| The new and amended standards and interpretations that are in place from 1 January 2017 have not had any significant effect on the Group's financial reports. |
|||||||
| As of January 1, 2018, the Group applies IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 15 Revenues from contracts with customers. |
|||||||
| IFRS 9 contains rules for accounting, classification and measurement, impairment, cancellation and rules for hedge accounting. Bactiguard will apply IFRS 9 from January 2018 and has chosen not to convert the comparison year. As in the past, the Group does not apply hedge accounting. IFRS 9 removes the requirement to identify an actual+ loss event and introduces a model for expected credit losses. The model determines a three-stage classification based on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For financial assets where no significant increase in credit risk has occurred, a credit loss related to the loss which is expected to occur within 12 months is accounted for. For financial assets where a significant increase in credit risk has occurred and for those who are uncertain, a credit loss is reported relating to the loss that is expected to occur throughout the remaining maturity of the asset. |
|||||||
| In accordance with IFRS 9, Bactiguard has reviewed the classification of financial assets and prepared a new model for calculating credit reserves of accounts receivable. Calculations made show that the Group's credit reserves for accounts receivable will have to be adjusted by less than SEK 1.0 million, which will be reported in the opening balance of Equity as per 1st of January 2018. |
IFRS 15 contains a combined model for revenue recognition for customer contracts not covered by other standards. The Group's work in 2017 has shown that IFRS 15 will not have a significant effect on the Group's financial reports.
An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may derive revenues and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker and for which there is separate financial information. The company's reporting of operating segments is consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker is the function that assesses the operating segment performance and decides how to allocate resources. The company has determined that the Group executive management constitutes the chief operating decision maker.
The company is considered in its entirety to operate within one business segment.
Transactions between the company and its subsidiaries, which are related parties to the company, have been eliminated on consolidation.
Services and other transactions between companies within the Group are charged according to commercial principles. Until 27 December 2017, Bactiguard had a bank loan of SEK 100 million where the board member - who is also the CEO and a major shareholder - Christian Kinch and major shareholder Thomas von Koch agreed to, without compensation, enter into guarantee commitments for Bactiguard Holding AB's obligations under the loan agreement. Bactiguard also had an unsecured loan from the main shareholders of SEK 50 million on equivalent terms as the bank loan.
Upon refinancing the above-mentioned bank loan of SEK 100 million and the loan from the main shareholders of SEK 50 million, with a credit facility in SEB on 27 December 2017, the guarantee commitments by the main shareholders were terminated.
In the license agreement signed during the first quarter, the contracting party Smartwise Sweden AB is owned by a group of private investors, including Christian Kinch and Thomas von Koch. During 2017, revenues of USD 2.5 million from Smartwise Sweden AB have been accounted for regarding the exclusive and global right to the Bactiguard technology for advanced vascular injection catheters.
Other than as described above, neither Bactiguard nor its subsidiaries have granted loans, guarantees or sureties to, or for the benefit of, any directors or senior managers of the Group. None of these persons have any direct or indirect participation in any other business transaction with any entity of the Group which is, or was, unusual in its nature or with regard to its terms.
Revenues consist of invoiced intercompany expenses (management fees). During the period, the parent company received interest on its receivables from group companies. The company's financial expenses have decreased significantly compared with the corresponding quarter last year through the refinancing of the bond loan that occurred at the end of 2016. No investments were made during the period.
Companies within the Group are exposed to various types of risk through their activities. The company continually engages in a process of identifying all risks that may arise and assessing how each of these risks shall be managed. The Group is working to create an overall risk management program that focuses on minimizing potential adverse effects on the company's financial results. The company is primarily exposed to market related risks, operational risks and financial risks. A description of these risks can be found on page 27 and 45-46 in the Annual Report for 2016.
Bactiguard's goal is to create value and generate good returns for the shareholders. One financial target is to have an average growth of 20 % per year over a five-year period, with 2015 as the base year, and adjusted revenues of SEK 118.5 million as the starting point. Another target is to achieve an EBITDA margin of at least 30 % at the end of the five-year period (year 2020). Bactiguard will continue to expand the business by strengthening the sales- and marketing organization, developing new products to the existing BIP portfolio and by entering new license agreements in new therapeutic areas. Other financial targets are to have an equity ratio of at least 30 % and a long-term objective of a dividend of 30-50 % of profit after tax, taking into consideration the company's financial position. The company is in an expansion phase and will therefore in the coming years, prioritize growth over dividends. The Board therefore proposes no dividend for 2017.

The company presents certain performance measures in the interim report that are not defined in accordance with IFRS (so-called alternative key ratios according to ESMA guidelines). The Company believes that these measures provide useful supplementary information to investors and the company's management as they allow for the evaluation of the company's performance. Since not all companies calculate the measures in the same way, these are not always comparable to measures used by other companies. These performance measures should therefore not be considered a substitute for measures as defined under IFRS.
Definitions and tables below describe how the performance measures are calculated. The measures are alternative in accordance with ESMA's guidelines unless otherwise stated.
Shows the company's earnings capacity from ongoing operations irrespective of capital structure and tax situation. The key figure is used to facilitate comparisons with other companies in the same industry. The company considers this key figure to be the most relevant performance measure of the business because the company has a large asset item in Technology, which generates large depreciation while the value is considered to be significant for the company even after it is fully depreciated. Bactiguard's patented and unique technology can be applied to a wide range of products, both in the BIP portfolio and through license deals.
