AddLife in brief
AddLife is an independent provider in Life Science that offers high-quality products, services and advice to both the private and public sector, mainly in the Nordic region. The Group is divided into two business areas: Labtech and Medtech.

The Company is mainly active in the Nordic countries and is also represented by smaller businesses in Germany, the Benelux countries, Estonia, Italy, UK, China and USA. AddLife is the market leader in the Nordic region in several well-defined niches in the market areas of diagnostics, medical devices, biomedical research, home care and laboratory analysis.
Comments by the CEO
A strong start of the year
The Group has started off the fiscal year with a strong performance, by increasing sales and profits. During the quarter, AddLife boosted sales 27 percent, to SEK 576 million. Organic growth remains strong, at 12 percent for the quarter. Our companies in both business areas continued growing during the quarter at a pace far exceeding the average market growth, which means that we are expanding our market shares in selected niches. EBITA increased 53 percent in the quarter, and the EBITA margin strengthened to 9.3 percent (7.8). Improved earnings were a result of sales growth as well as improved internal efficiency in our subsidiaries. Cash flow was strong this quarter, creating further possibilities for further development of in our operations.
Market trends
The Life Science market continues to develop favourably and AddLife with it. The apparent driver is a demographic trend throughout the Nordic region. Technical innovation in the market is also intense, with several start-up companies, a focus on digitising and eHealth, and several political initiatives to promote the development of the entire industry.
Healthcare systems in all Nordic countries continue to invest both in diagnostics and medical technology relating to instruments and consumables. Our long-term systematic efforts for public tenders have continued to pay off and during the quarter we secured several new contracts in our niches. Thanks to last year's acquisitions and the new businesses that we have integrated, Leica and Medline, our product offer to the market has also expanded.
Life Science research in Sweden continues to develop favourably, with grants being made for clinical projects from private and public sources. Major medical research projects have received funding from sources such as the Swedish Cancer Society and the Swedish Heart-Lung Foundation. In addition, the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF) recently decided to allocate SEK 400 million to four different projects working towards more effective therapies for diseases, among other goals. The Norwegian market remained active, and the primary-care segment is developing well. In Norway, the appetite to invest in research is strong, as politicians are clearly demonstrating a greater desire to strengthen their Life Science industry with the various clusters that have been created. The market in Denmark remains positive with solid demand. In the Danish market, we have seen a normalisation of the purchasing pattern from the academic sector following last year's decision on cutbacks. During the quarter, further investment in instrumentation was somewhat restrained in the pharmaceuticals industry. The Finnish market is starting to turn around, after some weaker years. We see several positive signals from various customers, both private and public, which indicate the market is slowly recovering and the appetite to invest is increasing overall. Demand in home care was also robust, related to various medical devices and welfare technology that help elderly and disabled people continue to live at home.
On the whole, during the quarter growth was good outside the Nordic region. The proportion of own products has increased in selected niches through the acquisitions we have made in the past year and markets outside the Nordic countries are therefore of growing importance.
Acquisitions
We continued our long-term work to acquire interesting companies that complement our existing companies in selected niches, and during the quarter two businesses were acquired, Techno Medica and the Hepro group. Together these companies are estimated to contribute about SEK 195 million in annual sales. Techno Medica operates primarily in enteral nutrition and later this spring it will be integrated into Mediplast. The Hepro group is one of the leading companies in Norway in home care and welfare technology. Both acquisitions are part of the Medtech business area.

Group development in the quarter
Net sales in the first quarter increased by 27 percent to SEK 576 million (453). For comparable units, organic growth totalled 12 percent and acquired growth totalled 14 percent. Exchange rate changes had a positive effect on net sales of 1 percent, corresponding to SEK 8 million, and a positive effect on EBITA of 2 percent corresponding to SEK 1 million.
EBITA increased by 53 percent to SEK 54 million (35) and EBITA-margin amounted to 9.3 percent (7.8). The improved result is a combination of strong organic growth, acquisitions and an effect of cost efficiency in our companies. The previous year included listing costs of SEK 4 million in EBITA.
Net financial items amounted to SEK -2 million (-2) and profit after financial items reached SEK 38 million (24). Profit after tax for the quarter increased by 54 percent to SEK 29 million (19) and the effective tax rate was 23 percent (22).
Development in the business areas
Labtech
The Labtech business area consists of about 18 companies active in the market areas diagnostics, biomedical research and laboratory equipment.
| 3 months ending | 12 months ending | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SEKm | 31 Mar 17 | 31 Mar 16 | change | 31 Mar 17 | 31 Dec 16 |
| Net sales | 343 | 288 | 19% | 1,273 | 1,218 |
| EBITA | 35 | 32 | 12% | 153 | 150 |
| EBITA-margin. % | 10.3 | 11.0 | 12.1 | 12.3 |
Labtechs sales increased in the first quarter by 19 percent to SEK 343 million (288). of which organic growth totalled 11 percent and acquired growth totalled 7 percent. EBITA increased to by 12 percent to SEK 35 million (32). corresponding to an EBITA-margin of 10.3 percent (11.0).
Business conditions for our companies in Labtech were strong during the quarter, especially for the companies in diagnostics. Flu season continued a bit into 2017, supporting sales of reagents to diagnostic laboratories in Sweden and Finland. The quarter also saw strong sales of consumables for instruments already delivered by the diagnostics companies. Growth was positive in the more traditional clinical chemistry area as well as molecular biology and microbiology.
Clinical projects continue to win grants from both the private and public sectors in all Nordic countries. Demand remained healthy especially for advanced instrumentation, such as microscopes for neurosurgery and various reagents for research.
The Swedish market developed well and several of our companies delivered strong growth for the quarter. We also see a number of positive signals from the Finnish market and our Finnish companies achieved healthy growth and earnings. Investment in university research in Denmark has returned after several quarters of deferred instrument purchases due to the Danish government's austerity programme. Slightly less activity was evident in the Danish pharmaceuticals industry during the quarter. In Norway, we have been successful at winning public tenders for diagnostic contracts in the niches where we operate. In addition to solid demand from academic research, we have seen increased interest from industry in Norway. Demand for our own hightech instruments has been good in all markets except the United States, where our sales lost pace the first quarter as a result of organisational changes.
Medtech
The Medtech business area consists of about 15 companies that provide medical device products within the medtech market, with a focus on surgery, thoracic medicine, neurology, wound care, anaesthesia, intensive care, ear, nose and throat, ostomies, and home healthcare.
| 3 months ending | 12 months ending | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SEKm | 31 Mar 17 | 31 Mar 16 | change | 31 Mar 17 | 31 Dec 16 |
| Net sales | 233 | 165 | 41% | 788 | 720 |
| EBITA | 21 | 12 | 69% | 66 | 57 |
| EBITA-margin. % | 8.8 | 7.4 | 8.2 | 7.9 |
Net sales increased in the first quarter by 41 percent to SEK 233 million (165). of which organic growth totalled 13 percent and acquired growth totalled 26 percent. EBITA increased to by 69 percent to SEK 21 million (12). corresponding to an EBITAmargin of 8.8 percent (7.4).
Demand from the medical services sector in the Nordic countries continued to develop very favourably during the quarter and we succeeded in winning several tenders. The market is challenging, with fierce competition for large, sometimes nationwide tenders, but our companies have skilfully managed this in the best way possible. During the quarter, growth was strongest in Sweden, the Benelux countries and Norway. The product portfolio was expanded by our takeover of Medline's business activities at the end of 2016, to which customers responded positively. Our product mix has improved, as demand continues to grow for our own products, particularly in the infusions and surgery segments as well as ear, nose and throat. Home care has advanced well in terms of the various medical devices and welfare technology that help elderly and disabled people continue to live at home.
Techno Medica and the Hepro group were acquired during the quarter for this business area. Techno Medica, which strengthens the product offering in enteral nutrition, will be integrated into Mediplast during spring 2017. The Hepro group is one of the leading companies in Norway in home care and welfare technology. Together these two businesses are expected to contribute about SEK 195 million in annual sales.
Financial position and cash flow
At the end of the period the equity ratio stood at 40 percent (27) and equity per share totalled SEK 30.23 (17.60). The return on equity at the end of the period was 19 percent (25). The decrease in return on equity relates primarily to the rights issue of SEK 300 million that was carried out last year. Return on working capital, P/WC (EBITA in relation to working capital) amounted to 65 percent (64).
The Group's interest-bearing net debt at the end of the period stood at SEK 596 million (538), including pension liabilities of SEK 60 million (63). The net debt/equity ratio, calculated on the basis of net debt including provisions for pensions, totalled 0.8 compared to 0.5 at the beginning of the interim period. The increase in net debt / equity ratio is attributable to the financing of acquisitions that were made during the quarter.
Cash and cash equivalents, consisting of cash and bank balances together with approved but non-utilised credit facilities, totalled SEK 400 million (133) on 31 March 2017. In March 2017 AddLife signed an agreement for a credit facility of SEK 300 million in the form of a two-year credit facility with an option to extend for a maximum of an additional two years.
Cash flow from operating activities reached SEK 47 million (15) during the interim period. The improved cash flow relates to improved result. Acquisitions of companies amounted to SEK 249 million (4). Investments in non-current assets during the interim period amounted to SEK 8 million (25). Disposals of non-current assets totalled SEK 0 million (0).
Employees
At the end of the period the number of employees was 586 compared to 545 at the beginning of the interim period. During the period, implemented acquisitions led to an increase of 45 in the number of employees. The average number of employees during the latest 12-month period was 482 (370).
Acquisitions and divestments
Acquisitions as of the financial year 2016 are distributed among the Group's business areas as follows:
| Acquisitions | Time | Net sales, SEKm* | Number of employees* | Business area |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| V-Tech AB och Esthe-Tech AB, Sweden | April, 2016 | 50 | 11 | Medtech |
| Svan Care AB, Sweden | October, 2016 | 35 | 13 | Medtech |
| Biolin Scientific AB, Sweden | December, 2016 | 100 | 68 | Labtech |
| TM Techno Medica AB, Sweden | January, 2017 | 30 | 5 | Medtech |
| Hepro AS, Norway | March, 2017 | 165 | 40 | Medtech |
* Refers to conditions at the time of acquisition on a full-year basis.
During the interim period two company acquisitions have been completed;
On 12 January 2017, all shares in TM Techno Medica AB was acquired to the business area Medtech. The company has 5 employees and sales of approximately SEK 30 million. The acquisitions represent an expansion in the areas of enteral nutrition, patient hygiene and incontinence
On 1 March 2017, all shares in Hepro AS, Mektron AS and Hepro Sverige AB were acquired to the business area Medtech. The companies have 40 employees and combined sales of approximately SEK 165 million. The acquisition represents an expansion into the field of home care.
The combined effect of the acquisitions on the AddLife Group's net sales was SEK 20 million, on EBITA SEK 4 million, on operating profit SEK 3 million and on profit after tax for the period SEK 2 million. Had the acquisitions been completed on 1 January 2017, their impact would have been approximately SEK 43 million on consolidated net sales SEK 6 million, on EBITA about SEK 4 million, on operating profit and about SEK 2 million on profit after-tax for the period.
The fair value of not yet paid contingent consideration for acquisitions made during the interim period is calculated to SEK 13 million. which is approximately 45 percent of the maximum outcome. The outcome depends on the results achieved in the companies and has a set maximum level.
According to the preliminary acquisition analyses, the assets and liabilities included in the acquisitions carried out during the first quarter 2017 were as follows:
| Fair value | |
|---|---|
| Intangible non-current assets | 176 |
| Other non-current assets | 1 |
| Inventories | 28 |
| Other current assets | 43 |
| Deferred tax liability/tax asset | -40 |
| Other liabilities | -44 |
| Acquired net assets | 164 |
| Goodwill | 97 |
| Consideration 1) | 261 |
| Less: cash and cash equivalents in acquired businesses | -5 |
| Less: acquired debt to acquired companies | -5 |
| Contingent consideration not yet paid | -13 |
| Effect on the Group's cash and cash equivalents | 238 |
1) The consideration is stated excluding acquisition expenses.
The goodwill resulting from the acquisitions is attributable to expectations that the Group's position in the market in question for each acquisition will grow stronger and to the knowledge accumulated in the companies acquired. Transaction costs for the acquisitions totalled SEK 2 million and are recognized as selling expenses.
Shares structure
The share capital at the end of the interim period stood at SEK 50.1 million.
| Share class | Number of shares |
|---|---|
| Class A shares | 1,011,766 |
| Class B shares | 23,605,327 |
| Total number of shares before repurchases | 24,617,093 |
| Of which repurchased class B shares | -230,000 |
| Total number of shares after repurchases | 24,387,093 |
The own holding of 230,000 Class B shares corresponds to 0.9 percent of the total number of shares and 0.7 percent of the votes. The repurchased shares cover the company's undertaking in outstanding call options programmes. The average purchase price for shares bought back amounts to SEK 143.93 per share. The average number of treasury shares held during the interim period was 230,000 (-). The share price at 31 March 2017 was SEK 165.50 and the most recent price paid for the AddLife share on 27 April 2017 was SEK 168.50.
In accordance with a resolution of the September 2016 AGM, 25 members of management were offered the opportunity to acquire 230,000 call options on repurchased shares. The programme was fully subscribed. If fully exercised, the number of B shares outstanding will increase by 230,000 equivalent to about 0.9 percent of the total number of shares and about 0.7 percent of the votes in the Company. The redemption price of the call options is SEK 148.10 and each call option entitles the holder to acquire one bought-back class B share during the period from 17 September 2018 through 28 February 2019.
Outstanding call option has during the quarter resulted in an estimated dilutive effect based on the quarter's average share price of approximately 0.05 percent (-).
Parent company
The Parent Company's net sales for the interim period amounted to SEK 7 million (5) and profit after financial items for the interim period amounted to SEK -3 million (33). At the end of the interim period the Parent Company's net financial debt stood at SEK 523 million (683). The share capital at the end of the interim period was SEK 50 million (40).
Accounting policies
This interim report was prepared as per IFRSs and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. Information in accordance with IAS 34. 16A exist, except in the financial statements and the related notes also in other parts of the interim report. The interim report for the parent company was prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act (1995:1554) and the Securities Market Act (2007:528) in compliance with recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entites, of the Swedish Financial Reporting Board.

Alternative performance measures
AddLife presents certain financial measures in the interim report that are not defined according to IFRS. The Company believes that these measures provide valuable supplemental information to investors and the Company's management as they allow for evaluation of trends and the Company's performance. Since all companies do not calculate financial measures in the same way these are not always comparable to measures used by other companies. These financial measures should therefore not be considered to be a replacement for measurements as defined under IFRS. This report provides information in greater detail regarding definitions of financial performance measures.
Transactions with related parties
No transactions with related parties that materially affected the Group's position and earnings took place during the interim period.
Events after the reporting period
No other events of significance to the Group occurred after the end of the reporting period.
Risks and uncertainties
AddLife's earnings and financial position as well as its strategic position are affected by various internal factors within AddLife's control and various external factors over which AddLife has limited influence.

* Calculations based on proportion of equity attributable to the equity holders.
In calculating the average number of shares outstanding it was assumed that the 500,000 shares at the time of AddLife AB's formation were present throughout the reporting periods. Subsequently, the bonus element of the bonus issue carried out in July 2015 was adjusted retroactively. Since there is no listed share price for AddLife during the historical financial years, the bonus issue element was calculated based on a value per share used in the time around the non-cash issue that occurred in connection with the acquisition of Mediplast. The non-cash issue itself carried out after the three historical financial periods, is assumed in the calculation of earnings per share to have been made at fair value and therefore does not affect earnings per share for the three periods.
