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 Group comprises 30 operating subsidiaries that provide equipment, instruments, medical devices and reagents, as well as advice and technical support to customers primarily in healthcare, research and academia, along with the food and pharmaceutical industries. The Company is mainly active in the Nordic countries and is also represented by smaller businesses in Germany, the Benelux countries, Estonia, Italy, UK and China. AddLife is the market leader in the Nordic region in several well-defined niches in the market areas of diagnostics, medical devices, biomedical research and laboratory analysis.

Comments by the CEO

AddLife continues to perform well and during the second quarter sales rose by 9 percent to SEK 622 million. The business situation remains favourable with stable and high demand in most of our niches. Organic sales growth was 3 percent for the quarter and both business areas reported positive organic growth. Strong sales in several markets in Medtech compensate for the continued weak sales to health services in Finland. The acquisitions contribute with growth of 3 percent for the quarter. Overall, the Group's companies performed well in the quarter and delivered improved EBITA result. The quarter's EBITA margin was 10.1 percent, which is at the same level as previous year. Accumulated for the entire period, sales increased by 6 percent to SEK 1,219 million and we have improved both EBITA result and EBITA margin. Our business model stands firm and our methodical efforts to build a long-term sound and profitable business in Life Science continues.

Markets

The business situation in the markets we are active in continues to develop well. The trend in society with a growing and aging population suffering from chronic diseases that require lengthy treatment is clear throughout the Nordic region. Demographic research indicates that the proportion of the population that is age 80 or older will double over the next 20 years. In order for society to meet its future obligations, structural changes will be required in health care to improve efficiency and adopt a preventive approach. AddLife can make a difference by offering new treatment options, proactive diagnostics, technical aids and digital solutions

that contribute to both patient and social benefit. In all Nordic markets we see various initiatives to shift care and treatment from the hospital to the home. All of the Nordic countries are focusing on Life Science in various ways to strengthen their respective competitiveness in Life Science research.

In Sweden, the government's Life Science office has formulated a roadmap with prioritised areas to further strengthen Sweden as a Life Science nation. Increased collaboration involving health care, academia and the business community is essential to consolidate Sweden as a research nation and to ensure sustainable welfare with access to innovations and new technology.

Denmark's government has adopted a growth plan for the Life Science industries, and the pharmaceutical industry in particular will be further strengthened. The pharmaceutical industry, which has experienced positive growth, has implemented several staff cutbacks over the past few years, but continues to invest in both research and production.

The Norwegian Life Science industry is growing year by year. The government's investments in both medical care and research continue, with a sharp focus on cancer, a research area that Norway wishes to gain ground in. There is also an express political goal for more elderly people to live at home for longer, with a greater need for various assistive devices for home care.

In Finland, discussions continue regarding both health care and healthcare reform. In June the government announced that the aim of the reform is to offer equal treatment throughout the country beginning in 2021. Several questions remain regarding what this will entail for the various stakeholders and the market is therefore perceived as cautious within certain segments.

Our export markets are developing well, with high demand for our own products in both health care and laboratory.

Acquisitions

We are constantly looking for new acquisition candidates and suppliers with Nordic potential, companies that drive the Life Science market. During the first quarter we completed two small acquisitions, Ossano Scandinavia and Food Diagnostics, which together are expected to contribute about SEK 30 million in annual sales. During the second quarter they were integrated into our existing Medtech and Labtech operations. After the end of the period Väinö Korpinen Oy was acquired for the Medtech business area. The company has around 15 employees and sales of about EUR 8 million. The company develops and designs accessible bathroom solutions, primarily intended for nursing homes for both private and public environments. The acquisition is a positive complement to AddLife's other companies in home care in the Medtech business area.

Kristina Willgård, President and CEO

Group development in the quarter

Net sales in the second quarter increased by 9 percent to SEK 622 million (572). Organic sales increased by 3 percent and acquired growth totalled 3 percent. Exchange rate changes had a positive effect on net sales of 3 percent, corresponding to SEK 19 million. EBITA increased by 9 percent to SEK 63 million (57) and EBITA-margin amounted to 10.1 percent (10.1). Exchange rate changes had a positive effect on EBITA of 4 percent, corresponding to SEK 2 million. Net financial items amounted to SEK -1 million (-2) and profit after financial items reached SEK 42 million (38). Profit after tax for the quarter increased by 19 percent to SEK 35 million (29) and the effective tax rate was 17 percent (24). During the quarter, the deferred tax in Norway was revalued as a result of a changed tax rate, resulting in a positive tax effect of approximately SEK 2 million.

Group development in the interim period

During the interim period, net sales increased by 6 percent to SEK 1,219 million (1,148). Organic sales decreased marginally, due to the weaker first quarter, and acquired growth totalled 4 percent. Exchange rate changes had a positive effect on net sales of 2 percent, corresponding to SEK 28 million. EBITA increased by 8 percent to SEK 120 million (111) and EBITA-margin amounted to 9.9 percent (9.7). Exchange rate changes had a positive effect on EBITA of 3 percent, corresponding to SEK 3 million. Net financial items amounted to SEK –6 million (-4), and was attributable to exchange rate changes. Profit after financial items reached SEK 76 million (76). Profit after tax increased by 5 percent to SEK 61 million (58) and the effective tax rate was 20 percent (23). The lower effective tax is attributable to the revaluation of deferred tax in Norway.

Development in the business areas

Labtech

The Labtech business area consists of 17 companies active in the market areas diagnostics, biomedical research and laboratory equipment.

SEKm 30 Jun 18 30 Jun 17 change 30 Jun 18 30 Jun 17 change 30 Jun 18 31 Dec 17

EBITA-margin, % 11.2 11.4 11.2 10.9 11.0 10.8

Labtech's net sales increased in the second quarter by 8 percent to SEK 364 million (336), of which organic growth increased 4 percent and exchange rate changes totalled 4 percent. EBITA increased by 6 percent to SEK 41 million (39), corresponding to an EBITA-margin of 11.2 percent (11.4). Net sales increased during the interim period by 5 percent to SEK 716 million (679), which organic growth amounted to 2 percent and exchange rate changes totalled 3 percent. EBITA increased by 8 percent to SEK 80 million (74), corresponding to an EBITA-margin of 11.2 percent (10.9).

Our operations in Labtech continue to perform well in the Nordic markets. Demand is high in our diagnostics companies and our success in the market continued in the second quarter and throughout the interim period. Growth potential remains the highest within niche areas in molecular biology and microbiology. Our favourable performance can be attributed to our product portfolio from various innovative suppliers, combined with the high level of expertise within our subsidiaries. Our companies are attractive as partners in the Nordic market and we continuously engage in discussions

regarding distribution with more innovative agencies in the Nordic region. Despite our high market share in certain niches, we continue to win new bids and strengthen our positions. Instrument sales to diagnostic laboratories were lower in the second quarter than the previous year, while consumable sales for previously delivered instruments were robust in all Nordic markets.

Sales to research, both in industry and academia, developed steadily in the Nordic region. Demand is good for both instruments and research reagents. The activity level for the quarter in academia has been favourable in Sweden and Finland, but somewhat lower in Denmark and Norway. We see growing interest in instrument investments for product testing for the EU in the Nordic region, though this option is no longer viable in the UK due to Brexit.

Sales of our own instruments have shown good growth, especially in the Chinese market. This quarter we expanded our collaboration with various reference laboratories in China to offer customers testing opportunities for new instruments. In the US, our own instruments have been sold by a distributor since May, and the closure of our own sales office has resulted in additional costs of approximately SEK 2 million during the quarter.

Medtech

The Medtech business area consists of 12 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.

EBITA 25 21 15 % 46 42 8 % 97 93
EBITA-margin, % 9.7 9.2 9.1 9.0 9.9 9.9

In the second quarter Medtech´s net sales increased by 9 percent to SEK 258 million (236), of which organic growth increased 1 percent, acquired growth totalled 6 percent and exchange rate changes totalled 2 percent. EBITA increased by 15 percent to SEK 25 million (21), corresponding to an EBITA-margin of 9.7 percent (9.2). Net sales during the interim period increased by 7 percent to SEK 503 million (469), the organic growth decreased by -5 percent, acquired growth totalled 10 percent and exchange rate changes affected positively by 2 percent. EBITA increased by 8 percent to SEK 46 million (42), corresponding to an EBITA-margin of 9.1 percent (9.0).

Sales were robust in both health services and home care during the second quarter. Strong growth in several markets compensate for the continued weak sales to health services in Finland.

Sales growth has been highest in the markets in Sweden, Norway and the Benelux countries. Our product mix throughout the period has been favourable in terms of sales, with an increase in the proportion of our own products primarily in surgery and ear, nose and throat. Growth in the markets in Sweden, Norway and Denmark is stable, with large and intensely competitive calls for tender and higher demands from health services regarding not only price, but also sustainability and reliable delivery. The increase in procurement entails both increased opportunities and increased risks for our companies.

Political initiatives and reform proposals in the Nordic countries aimed at enabling more people to remain at home will lead to positive growth in the home care market over time. Given the right assistive devices, people can remain at home longer, resulting not only in patient benefit, but also in savings for society. Our subsidiaries continue to focus on both sales resources and product development in order to further expand our offering.

Väinö Korpinen Oy, which was acquired after the period, develops and designs accessible bathroom solutions, primarily intended for nursing homes for both private and public environments. The company is expected to be a positive complement to existing companies in home care within the business area.

Financial position and cash flow

At the end of the interim period the equity ratio stood at 42 percent (40) and equity per share totalled SEK 33.12 (29.72). The return on equity at the end of the period was 16 percent (18). 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 594 million (605), including pension liabilities of SEK 67 million (60). The net debt/equity ratio, calculated on the basis of net debt including provisions for pensions, totalled 0.7, compared to 0.8 at the beginning of the financial year.

Cash and cash equivalents, consisting of cash and bank balances, together with approved but non-utilised credit facilities, totalled SEK 228 million on 30 June 2018.

Cash flow from operating activities reached SEK 68 million (84) during the interim period. The change in tax paid of SEK 24 million is mainly attributable to the payment of tax for 2017 in as well as increased preliminary tax payments in all of the Nordic countries. Acquisitions of companies amounted to SEK 19 million (249). Investments in non-current assets during the interim period amounted to SEK 24 million (18). Disposals of non-current assets totalled SEK 4 million (0). Dividends paid to the shareholders of the Parent Company amounted to SEK 53 million (37).

Employees

At the end of the interim period, the number of employees was 593, compared to 592 at the beginning of the financial year. During the interim period, implemented acquisitions led to an increase of 8 in the number of employees. The average number of employees during the latest 12-month period was 593 (518).

Acquisitions

Acquisitions completed from the 2017 financial year are distributed among the Group's business areas as follows:

Acquisitions Time Net sales, SEKm* Number of employees* Business area
TM Techno Medica AB, Sweden January, 2017 30 5 Medtech
Hepro AS, Norway March, 2017 165 40 Medtech
Krabat AS, Norway July, 2017 30 13 Medtech

Väinö Korpinen Oy, Finland July, 2018 80 15 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 23 February 2018, all shares in Ossano Scandinavia AB were acquired to the business area Medtech. The company has five employees and net sales of approximately SEK 22 million. The acquisition represents an expansion in the area of orthopaedics. After the takeover, the business has been integrated in Mediplast AB.

On 2 March 2018, all shares in Food Diagnostics FDAB AB were acquired to the Labtech business area. The company has three employees and net sales of around SEK 8 million. The acquisition entails an entry into the field of food diagnostics. After the takeover, the business has been integrated into the diagnostics company Triolab AB.

The combined effect of the acquisitions on the AddLife Group's net sales was SEK 13 million, on EBITA SEK 1 million, on operating profit SEK 1 million and on profit after tax for the period SEK 0 million. Had the acquisitions been completed on 1 January 2018, their impact would have been approximately SEK 15 million on consolidated net sales, on EBITA about SEK 1 million and on operating profit about SEK 1 million and SEK 0 million on profit after tax for the interim period.

The fair value of not yet paid contingent consideration for acquisitions made during the interim period is calculated to SEK 1 million, which is approximately 34 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 financial year 2018 were as follows:

Fair value
Intangible non-current assets 17
Other non-current assets 0
Inventories 2
Other current assets 15
Deferred tax liability/tax asset -5
Other liabilities -5
Acquired net assets 24
Goodwill -
Consideration 1) 24
Less: cash and cash equivalents in acquired businesses -11
Less: acquired debt to acquired companies -
Contingent consideration not yet paid -1
Effect on the Group's cash and cash equivalents 12

1) The consideration is stated excluding acquisition expenses.

Transaction costs for the acquisitions totalled SEK 0 million and are recognized as selling expenses.

During the interim period, SEK 4 million has been recognized as other operating income due to estimated contingent considerations, relating to previous acquisitions, deviated from the actual outcome.

Shares structure

The share capital at the end of the period stood at SEK 50 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 -445,000
Total number of shares after repurchases 24,172,093

The own holding of 445,000 Class B shares corresponds to 1.8 percent of the total number of shares and 1.3 percent of the votes. The treasury shares cover the company's undertaking in outstanding call options program from 2016 and 2017. The average purchase price for shares held in treasury amounts to SEK 158.53 per share. The average number of treasury shares held during the period was 445,000 (230,000). The share price at 29 June 2018 was SEK 190.00 and the most recent price paid for the AddLife share on 12 July 2018 was SEK 210.00.

In accordance with a resolution of the May 2018 AGM, 30 members of management were offered the opportunity to acquire 170,000 call options on repurchased shares. The programme was fully subscribed. If fully exercised, the number of B shares outstanding will increase by 170,000, equivalent to about 0.7 percent of the total number of shares and about 0.5 percent of the votes in the Company. The call options were transferred at a price of SEK 15.30 per option, equivalent to the market value of the options based on an independent valuation conducted in accordance with the Black-Scholes model. The redemption price of the call options is SEK 234.40, corresponding to 120% of the average share price during the measurement period 25 May – 8 June 2018. Expiration period is from 16 June 2021 through 28 February 2022.

AddLife has three outstanding call programmes, see table below. Issued call options for treasury shares have resulted in a calculated dilution effect based on average share price for the period of approximately 0.2 percent (0.1) during the interim period.

Parent company

The Parent Company's net sales for the interim period amounted to SEK 16 million (14) and profit after financial items amounted to SEK -5 million (-6). At the end of the interim period, the Parent Company's net financial debt stood at SEK 533 million (835). The share capital at the end of the interim period was SEK 50 million (50).

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. The accounting policies and basis for calculations applied in the 2017 annual report for AddLife AB were also used here except for the revised accounting policies described below.

IFRS 9 entered into force on 1 January 2018. In 2017 AddLife analysed possible effects of the introduction of IFRS 9. The conclusion of the analysis is that the introduction of IFRS 9 and a forward-looking impairment model based on expected future losses has not any effect on the Group's financial reports.

IFRS 15 entered into force on 1 January 2018. An analysis of the impact of IFRS 15 on the Group was carried out in 2017. The conclusion of the analysis is that IFRS 15 has not any effect on the accrual of the Group's revenues. IFRS 15 results in increased disclosures, see table net sales by revenue type.

At the end of the interim period, the Group determined that there are no changes in the analysis regarding IFRS 9 and IFRS 15, as disclosed in the Group's Annual Report for 2017.

Alternative performance measures

AddLife presents certain financial measures in the year-end 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 end of the interim period

On 2 July 2018, all shares in Väinö Korpinen Oy were acquired to the business area Medtech. The company has successfully established itself as the leading supplier on the Finnish market for accessible bathroom solutions. The company has 15 employees and net sales of approximately EUR 8 million. The acquisition represents a continued expansion in the home care sector.

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. AddLife's most significant external risks are the state of the economy and market trends combined with public sector contracts and policy decisions, as well as competition. The risks and uncertainties are the same as in previous periods. For more information, see the section "Risks and uncertainties" in the administration report (page 44-48), in AddLife's annual report 2017. The Parent Company is indirectly affected by the above risks and uncertainties through its function in the Group.

The fair value and carrying amount are recognized in the balance sheet as shown in the table above.

For quoted securities, the fair value is determined on the basis of the asset's quoted price in an active market, level 1. As at the reporting date the Group had no items in this category.

For currency contracts and embedded derivatives, the fair value is determined on the basis of observable market data, level 2. For contingent considerations, a cash-flow-based valuation is performed, which is not based on observable market data, level 3. For the Group's other financial assets and liabilities, fair value is estimated to be the same as the carrying amount.

* 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.
