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 34 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, 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 and laboratory analysis.
Comments by the CEO
During the quarter we strengthened our EBITA by 7 percent to SEK 57 million (54) and the EBITA margin increased to 9.6 percent (9.3). The improved performance comes from our diagnostics business, especially the sale of influenza tests this quarter. Flu season varies both in scope and time from year to year. The season was weak in the fourth quarter of 2017, but intensified during the first quarter of the year. Sales growth for the quarter was 4 percent (27). Our comparative quarter in 2017 was extremely strong, with total growth of 27 percent, driven by our new acquisitions and strong organic growth of 12 percent. Our customers were less active in March this year, which is typical around Easter and also affects sales. In 2017 Easter was in April. Organically, sales decreased in the quarter by 4 percent, which besides the Easter-related seasonal fluctuations, is attributable to weaker sales on the Finnish market in the Medtech business area.
Markets
Business conditions remain unchanged in the Nordic markets and the current trend in society, with a growing and aging population that require more care, is clear in all countries. All of the Nordic countries are focusing on Life Science in various ways to meet the healthcare challenges that lie ahead, as well as to strengthen their respective competitiveness in the field of research.
The market in Sweden continues to be favourable for our business areas, with both health services and the laboratories continuing their investments. The Swedish Government further
consolidated its ambition for Sweden to become a leading Life Science nation in February by opening a permanent office for Life Science issues in the Ministry of Enterprise and Innovation.
Activity is also high in Denmark, with public investments in new hospitals. Cutbacks in public funding for Life Science research in recent years have led to increased dependence on various private funding sources. Our sales to the pharmaceutical industry in Denmark have been stable for the quarter.
The market situation in Norway is favourable, with continued government initiatives in both health care and research. A new research laboratory in Oslo celebrated its grand opening in March to promote collaboration between research and the business community, with the aim of increasing the share of Life Science companies in Norway, as well as increasing Norwegian exports in the field. Demand is robust for our point-of-care products, which are mainly used in primary care and home care.
The uncertainty in Finland related to postponement of the comprehensive healthcare and social services reform until 2020 remains. Nevertheless, the investment climate remains favourable for research and diagnostics and our Finnish Labtech companies had strong growth in the quarter. However, we saw a weak trend for sales to health services in the Medtech business area.
The trend for exports of our own healthcare products outside of the Nordic countries was favourable, especially in the Benelux countries, where we have experienced good growth for a long time. The sales trend for our own instruments outside of the Nordic countries was stable during the quarter and the US market has recovered somewhat.
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. Ossano Scandinavia is a niche supplier in back and hip surgery, while Food Diagnostics is a niche supplier of analyses for the food industry. The two acquisitions are expected to add about SEK 30 million in annual sales. Both companies will be integrated into existing operations during the year.

Group development in the quarter
Net sales in the first quarter increased by 4 percent to SEK 597 million (576). Organic sales decreased 4 percent and acquired growth totalled 6 percent. Exchange rate changes had a positive effect on net sales of 2 percent, corresponding to SEK 10 million.
EBITA increased by 7 percent to SEK 57 million (54) and EBITA-margin amounted to 9.6 percent (9.3). The increase in profit comes from our diagnostics business. Exchange rate changes had a positive effect on EBITA of 2 percent, corresponding to SEK 1 million. Net financial items amounted to SEK -5 million (-2), with the increase attributable to exchange rate changes. Profit after financial items reached SEK 34 million (38). Profit after tax for the quarter amounted to SEK 26 million (29) and the effective tax rate was 22 percent (23).
Development in the business areas Labtech
The Labtech business area consists of 19 companies active in the market areas diagnostics, biomedical research and laboratory equipment.

| EBITA | 39 | 35 | 11 % | 155 | 151 |
| EBITA-margin, % | 11.2 | 10.3 | 11.0 | 10.8 |
Labtechs net sales increased in the first quarter by 3 percent to SEK 352 million (343), which is organic growth. EBITA increased by 11 percent to SEK 39 million (35), corresponding to an EBITA-margin of 11.2 percent (10.3).
The Nordic markets continue to perform well and Life Science is a prioritised field in all of the Nordic countries. March was weaker, however, because our customers were less active due to the Easter holiday. Growth was robust in diagnostics within several product segments, especially solutions in molecular biology and microbiology. We can meet customer demand with interesting new technology from several different suppliers in all of the Nordic countries. Flu season started during the quarter with high reagent sales to diagnostic laboratories. The continued improvement in the Finnish market for both research and diagnostics entailed stronger sales for the quarter.
Instrument sales to diagnostic laboratories were high in Sweden for the quarter, but slightly lower in other countries, while consumable sales for previously delivered instruments were stable in all markets. Demand has been steady for advanced microscopes in particular for academic research, but also for industry. Our sales to the pharmaceutical industry in Denmark have been stable for the quarter. Startup of our new operation in the Baltic region is proceeding according to plan.
The sales trend for our own instruments outside of the Nordic countries was stable during the quarter and the US market has recovered somewhat. We signed a contract with a distributor in the US that will take over our own sales operation during the second quarter. The change is expected to entail increased sales in the long term through our distributor, as well as lower expenses for our operation.
One small acquisition was completed in the quarter, Food Diagnostics, which will be integrated into existing diagnostics operations in Sweden. The acquisition is part of our initiative to expand our business to include more customer segments, including the food industry.
Medtech
The Medtech business area consists of 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SEKm | 31 Mar 18 | 31 Mar 17 | change | 31 Mar 18 | 31 Dec 17 | |
| Net sales | 245 | 233 | 5 % | 952 | 940 | |
| EBITA | 21 | 21 | 0 % | 93 | 93 | |
| EBITA-margin, % | 8.4 | 8.8 | 9.8 | 9.9 |
In the first quarter Medtech´s net sales increased by 5 percent to SEK 245 million (233), of which organic decreased 11 percent and acquired growth totalled 15 percent. EBITA amounted to SEK 21 million (21), corresponding to an EBITA-margin of 8.4 percent (8.8).
Sales growth during the quarter continues to come from our businesses in the home care segment in Sweden and Norway. March was weaker in all markets because our customers were less active around Easter. Weaker sales to health services in the Finnish market contributed to the negative organic sales growth. The trend in Finland continues from previous quarters, but we expect stabilisation later this year. Sweden and the Benelux countries report good sales growth to health services for the quarter, while growth in the other countries is more stable. Our product mix this quarter has been favourable and the percentage of our own products is steadily increasing. 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. Our methodological approach to building our pan-Nordic product portfolio, with both its own products and products from strong suppliers continues.
The home care market is constantly growing and there is a large need for various assistive devices in the home. Given the right assistive devices, people can remain at home longer, resulting not only in patient benefit, but also in savings for society. We continued to invest in sales resources and product development in order to further expand our offering. We are experiencing greater competition in the large nationwide calls for tender within home care in Norway.
One minor acquisition was completed in the quarter, Ossano Scandinavia, which is a niche supplier in back and hip surgery, which complements the existing surgery business in Sweden. Ossano Scandinavia will be integrated into existing operations in Sweden.
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 33.30 (30.23). The return on equity at the end of the period was 16 percent (19). Return on working capital, P/WC (EBITA in relation to working capital) amounted to 64 percent (65).
The Group's interest-bearing net debt at the end of the period stood at SEK 562 million (596), 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 263 million on 31 March 2018.
Cash flow from operating activities reached SEK 39 million (47) during the interim period. The change in tax paid of SEK 14 million is mainly attributable to the payment of tax for 2017 in Norway and Finland. Corresponding payments for the previous year were made in later quarters. Acquisitions of companies amounted to SEK 19 million (249). Investments in non-current assets during the interim period amounted to SEK 10 million (8). Disposals of noncurrent assets totalled SEK 3 million (0).
Employees
At the end of the interim period, the number of employees was 601, 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 591 (482).
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 |
| Ossano Scandinavia AB, Sweden | February 2018 | 20 | 5 | Medtech |
| Food Diagnostics FDAB AB, Sweden | March, 2018 | 10 | 3 | Labtech |
* 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 will be 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 will be integrated into the diagnostics company Triolab AB.
The combined effect of the acquisitions on the AddLife Group's net sales was SEK 6 million, on EBITA SEK 1 million, on operating profit SEK 0 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 8 million on consolidated net sales, on EBITA about SEK 1 million and on operating profit about SEK 0.8 million and SEK 1 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 1 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 March 2018 was SEK 159.00 and the most recent price paid for the AddLife share on 26 April 2018 was SEK 179.50.
Issued call options for treasury shares have resulted in a calculated dilution effect based on average share price for the period of approximately 0.1 percent (0.05) during the interim period.
Parent company
The Parent Company's net sales for the interim period amounted to SEK 8 million (7) and profit after financial items for the interim period amounted to SEK -3 million (-3). At the end of the interim period, the Parent Company's net financial debt stood at SEK 510 million (523). 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
No other events of significance to the Group occurred after the end of the interim 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.

For quoted securities, the fair value is determined on the basis of the asset's quoted price in an active market, level 1. For currency contracts and embedded derivatives, the fair value is determined on the basis of observable market data, level 2. 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.
