Financial Report

Comments from Mattias Perjos, CEO

Strong order intake but temporary delivery disruptions had a negative impact on earnings

"The global market for our products is still strong and order intake increased by 10.0%, of which organic growth was 7.4%. All regions reported a positive performance, with particularly strong growth in consumables in Cardiopulmonary and ventilators in Critical Care and Infection Control. This was also the case for Bio-Processing, with double-digit growth in the organic order intake both in the US and in China. Net sales increased by 3.5%, of which the organic increase was 0.2%. Organic sales in Acute Care Therapies decreased slightly, mainly due to lower sales of hardware in Cardiopulmonary and consumables in Cardiac Assist, which had challenging comparative figures from Q3 2023. Organic sales for Life Science declined by 2.4%, as a result of outgoing deliveries in capital goods shifting more toward Q4 2024 and the order growth in Bio-Processing is not yet seen in sales. Price adjustments and acquisitions had a positive effect in the quarter, for example, Healthmark continued its positive trend and contributed to the 16.0% increase in net sales in Surgical Workflows for the quarter, of which 4.0% was organic.

The acquisition of Paragonix Technologies, Inc., a leading US company in organ transport products and services, was completed in September. The company commands a unique position in the rapidly growing US market, and there are clear synergies with our existing product portfolio, technologies and global sales force. Last year's major acquisitions – Healthmark and High Purity New England, leading suppliers of infection control consumables and consumables for bioprocessing applications, respectively – have outperformed expectations and will make organic contributions starting in Q4 2024.

During the quarter, TÜV SÜD reinstated our CE certificate for HLS and PLS consumables, which are used for ECLS therapy. In connection with this, we communicated that temporary challenges with one supplier and production changeover related to the new packaging solution had resulted in a lower volume of HLS and PLS sets available for shipment in Q3. Deliveries of the new packaging to CE countries could commence at the beginning of October.

The operating margin weakened compared with last year. This was mainly due to the product mix, higher costs associated with quality improvement and temporary disruptions regarding consumables in Cardiopulmonary as well as currency. I look forward to a strong finish to 2024, continuing our work to create value for our customers in their important commitment to deliver more and better healthcare to more patients.

  • The organic order intake for Acute Care Therapies increased strongly during the quarter, mainly in Critical Care, Cardiac Surgery and Cardiopulmonary.
  • The order intake for Life Science declined organically, mainly due to fewer orders for steam sterilizers. There was a positive performance in Bio-Processing and growth in Sterile Transfer continued.
  • The organic order intake for Surgical Workflows reported a double-digit increase both in Infection Control and in Digital Health Solutions, while orders in Surgical Workplaces fell slightly.
  • Geographically, the trend in the organic order intake was positive in all regions.
  • Organic net sales in Acute Care Therapies decreased slightly during the quarter, mainly due to a lower number of consumables sold in Cardiac Assist and lower sales of ECLS hardware in Cardiopulmonary. Growth in Critical Care continued.
  • Organic net sales for Life Science fell, mainly due to lower sales in Bio-Processing and sales of isolators. This was partially offset by the strong performance of Sterile Transfer.
  • Organic net sales for Surgical Workflows increased, following growth in all product categories.
  • Geographically, sales increased organically in Americas and EMEA, while APAC declined, mainly in China.
  • Recurring revenue increased, and a factor contributing to this was service, while sales of consumables fell slightly. Sales of capital goods also decreased.

Adjusted EBITA – bridge between Q3 2023 and Q3 2024

  • Adjusted EBITA for Acute Care Therapies declined by SEK 305 M, mainly due to lower sales, mix effects, under-absorption and higher quality improvement costs.
  • Adjusted EBITA for Life Science decreased by SEK 7 M, primarily due to higher employee and operating expenses.
  • Surgical Workflows' adjusted EBITA increased by SEK 107 M, mainly as a result of acquisitions, price adjustments and mix effects.

  • Adjusted operating expenses declined organically by 0.1%, mainly as a result of higher other operating income. Adjusted operating expenses increased inorganically by 3.9%, mainly due to costs incurred 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 -151 M compared with last year, of which SEK -120 M in translation effects and SEK -31 M in transaction effects and hedging outcome.
  • The change in adjusted EBITA attributable to currency effects was SEK -86 M, of which SEK -33 M arose from translation effects and SEK -54 M from the net of transaction effects, hedging outcome, and revaluation of operating receivables and liabilities in foreign currency.
  • Compared with last year, free cash flow was negatively impacted by lower operating profit. Working capital increased to less extent compared with last year.
  • The financial position remains solid, although the share of net interestbearing debt in relation to EBITDA has increased after the acquisition of Paragonix Technologies, Inc.

Sustainability developments

Getinge has continued its work on performing a double materiality assessment that commenced in 2023. This interim report reflects the preliminary results of this assessment and is based on the ESRS structure to present the company's impact, risks and opportunities from a social, environmental and governance perspective. The aim is to continuously work to minimize the negative impact on people and the environment and to generate sustainable value for customers, employees and other stakeholders.

  • The KPIs were adjusted in Q1 2024 and beyond so that the former KPI quality index has been replaced by regulatory compliance and product quality. Employee engagement has been added. Water consumption and waste to landfill have been added and will be reported from Q4 2024. Percentage of recycled waste will henceforth be reported in the Annual Report.
  • The employee engagement index was updated with the results of the employee survey in Q2, with the same score of 71.
  • The percentage of female employees decreased slightly after acquisitions completed at the end of 2023.
  • For sick leave, we see a positive downward trend compared with the figure for full-year 2023.
  • Following a number of intensive quality audits in early 2024, the Q3 regulatory compliance KPI was in line with Q2.
  • A higher number of field actions were carried out in 2023, mainly related to Cardiosave. The figures normalized at the start of 2024. In Q3, the number of field actions increased slightly compared with previous quarters in 2024.
  • For carbon emissions 2024, an order for international renewable energy certificates (RECs) corresponding to a full-year consumption was placed for two production sites. Getinge will receive these RECs in Q4 and electricity from these sites will be reported as renewable. The increases in Q3 in the energy consumption and carbon emissions KPIs were due to additions from the acquisitions completed at the end of 2023.

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.

  • The organic order intake for Acute Care Therapies increased strongly during the quarter, mainly in Critical Care, Cardiac Surgery and Cardiopulmonary.
  • Geographically, the organic order intake increased in all regions, primarily in Americas and EMEA.
  • Organic net sales in Acute Care Therapies decreased slightly during the quarter, mainly due to a lower number of consumables sold in Cardiac Assist and lower sales of ECLS hardware in Cardiopulmonary. Growth in Critical Care continued.
  • Sales remained largely unchanged in EMEA yet declined slightly in Americas and APAC.
  • Capital goods fell slightly organically in the quarter. This was also the case for recurring revenue, although service continued to perform positively.
  • The adjusted gross margin declined by 5.6 percentage points, mainly due to mix effects, under-absorption and higher costs for input goods, employees and improvements related to Cardiac Assist and Cardiopulmonary.
  • Organically, adjusted operating expenses declined by 0.8% mainly as a result of higher operating income. Adjusted operating expenses declined inorganically by 1.9%.
  • Adjusted EBITA declined by SEK 305 M, mainly due to lower sales and gross profit. The margin fell by 6.7 percentage points.
  • Currency effects impacted sales by SEK -170 M, adjusted gross profit by SEK -112 M and adjusted EBITA by SEK -79 M.

Events in the business area in the quarter

The positive development has continued for Healthmark, which was acquired in October 2023. The business holds a leading position in North America in consumables for cleaning verification and packaging, which serves as a strong complement to Getinge's other consumables, sterilization and disinfection equipment, as well as digital solutions. The integration of the company is progressing according to plan and Healthmark will contribute organically from the fourth quarter of 2024.

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
Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) process, 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 TÜV SÜD decided
to temporarily suspend the CE certificate for Getinge's HLS and PLS sets for ECLS
therapy and for Getinge's intra-aortic balloon pumps. As a result, the company
initiated corrective actions to regain CE certification for these products. At the
end of September, TÜV SÜD reinstated Getinge's CE certificate for HLS and PLS
sets, with certain conditions. The temporary suspension of Getinge's Cardiosave
Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump, effective from March 2024, was extended until July 1,
2025.
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, for example, of
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. The process with the Brazilian federal authority,
Comptroller General of the Union (CGU), is still ongoing. During the third quarter of
2024, Getinge made, in line with applicable accounting standards, a provision of BRL
240 M, corresponding to approximately SEK 480 M, in the third quarter related to
anticipated costs related with this process. The provision is the result of an ongoing
constructive dialogue to reach a conclusion in the negotiations with the CGU. The
final and definitive costs will be determined once the negotiations have been
concluded, and such an amount could both be lower and higher than the provision
that has now been made.
In addition to the investigations with CGU, Getinge has previously communicated
that settlement agreements have been reached with the Brazilian Federal
Prosecutor's Office (Ministério Público Federal) in 2018 and the competition

authority, Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE) in 2019, both related to anti-competitive practices relating to the sale of medical devices.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 control over its emissions and cannot therefore directly impact their decline.

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.

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.

Assurance

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.

AUDITOR'S REPORT

INTERIM REPORT PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH IAS 34 AND CHAPTER 9 OF THE SWEDISH ANNUAL ACCOUNTS ACT

Getinge AB (publ). reg. no. 556408-5032

This is a translation of the Swedish language original

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Getinge AB (publ) as of 30 September 2024 and the nine-month period then ended, and that is included on pages 1-4, 6- 15 and 17-28 in this document. The board of directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, ISA, and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Group, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Parent Company.

Furthermore, additional earn-out payments may be paid between 2027 and 2030 if agreed upon regulatory and financial performance milestones are achieved. Goodwill of SEK 242 M arose on this acquisition that is mainly attributable to growth opportunities and synergies within Life Science.
