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 in Europe. The Group is divided into two business areas: Labtech and Medtech. The Group comprises some 45 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.
Comments by the CEO
AddLife has a strong offering and an attractive product portfolio, and our work to achieve the vision of improving people's lives by being a leading value-adding player within Life Science feels extremely meaningful in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. The outbreak in Europe in mid-March caused skyrocketing demand, with increased orders especially from health services and diagnostic laboratories. Demand remained high throughout the quarter both in the Nordic markets and in Central and Eastern Europe. Our companies continued to do a fantastic job and in the second quarter we see an incredible return on earnings through greatly increased volumes and restrained expenses. Sales rose 48 percent in the second quarter to SEK 1,248 million, including organic growth of 39 percent. EBITA rose 167 percent to SEK 181 million and EBITA margin strengthened to 14.5 percent. Accumulated for the entire period, sales increased by 36 percent to SEK 2,301 million and EBITA rose by 108 percent to SEK 287 million.
The pandemic had a major impact on the business situation during the quarter and initially, it was extremely challenging to provide health services and the diagnostic laboratories with all of the products they demanded to be able to provide good safe care to COVID-19 patients. There have been many alarming reports with media coverage about the personal protective equipment shortage, but demand has been at least as strong for our various diagnostic instruments and tests, as well as other medical devices.
Many countries responded to the huge global shortage of equipment by changing proven procedures and approved suppliers to instead purchase through direct procurement in hopes of gaining quick access to critical COVID-19-related products. Several new opportunistic players saw an opportunity and offered their services to the market. The exceptional demand drove up prices, and in several cases requirements for CE marking and high product quality were disregarded. Unfortunately, we can all now read about the problems that have arisen in the aftermath of this trend.
Our companies have determinedly worked to help customers as best they could with deliveries of critical products. We have also continued to pursue the important work of ensuring that our products meet high quality and regulatory standards. Given our vision and values, high quality obviously takes precedence over high quantity, while contracts take precedence over short-term maximisation of profits. I am convinced that during the quarter we strengthened our position as a long-term reliable player. At the end of the quarter, the acute crisis stabilised somewhat as the number of seriously ill COVID-19 patients decreased in most of our markets, and the supply of products has increased. Health services have also built up some inventory and we see a return to a more normal situation. The lessons learned so far during the pandemic show that in the long run we expect some changes in purchasing patterns, as well as increased demand for selfsufficiency and preparedness in several countries.
In all countries, the pandemic has resulted in longer waiting times for non-emergency surgeries, since all healthcare resources have been dedicated to emergency and intensive care. For example, in Sweden approximately 70,000 and in Italy approximately 600,000 planned surgeries have been cancelled. Several of our companies therefore had significantly lower sales of products for elective surgery

during the quarter. In June, we saw that some countries have started to permit these procedures, which will hopefully return to more normal levels after the summer.
In the middle of the quarter, several countries opened universities and colleges, and sales to academic research customers resumed. Researchers and pharmaceutical companies all over the world are intensively working on various cures and vaccines against the virus, and demand has been strong for COVID-19-related products from pharmaceutical companies, research projects and institutes that have received increased funding.
The trend regarding the need for more safe in-home care is strong and demand for welfare technology and other aids for care of the elderly at home has continued to develop favourably. However, since the opportunity for physical meetings with customers and on-site installations was limited, the final delivery of various projects was delayed during the quarter.
So far, 2020 has been an exceptional time with major changes in society. Looking ahead, we see that health services will demand tests and other medical devices relating to COVID-19 for some time to come. Meanwhile, elective surgeries will need to accelerate to reduce queues. The pandemic has undeniably strengthened awareness of the vulnerability of the global supply chain and the need for increased preparedness, as well as sustainable and more efficient health care.
A majority of our employees continue to work from home and meet customers and business partners digitally. Many of our employees have had an extremely hectic period and have done an outstanding job. I am incredibly proud of the commitment and loyalty all of my colleagues have shown to customers and AddLife.

Net financial items amounted to SEK -2 million (-4) and profit after financial items amounted to SEK 149 million (38). Profit after tax for the quarter increased with 284 percent amounting to SEK 120 million (31) and the effective tax rate was 21 percent (16). The difference in effective is due non-taxable income last year.

Labtech's net sales increased by 55 percent in the second quarter to SEK 718 million (464), of which organic growth increased by 37 percent, acquired growth totalled 20 percent and exchange rate changes had a negative effect of 2 percent. EBITA increased by 180 percent to SEK 109 million (39), corresponding to an EBITA-margin of 15.1 percent (8.3).
Labtech's net sales increased by 37 percent in the interim period to SEK 1,329 million (968), of which organic growth increased by 20 percent, acquired growth totalled 18 percent and exchange rate changes had a negative effect of 1 percent, corresponding to SEK 7 million. EBITA increased by 99 percent to SEK 181 million (91), corresponding to an EBITA-margin of 13.6 percent (9.4).

The Labtech business area has shown strong growth for both the quarter and the period on all geographic markets. Demand was extremely high in several segments within Diagnostics. Growth was primarily driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, since hospitalisation for other causes was reduced to a minimum. In hospital ICU departments where COVID-19 patients received treatment, consumption of various tests was extremely high to obtain information related to the condition of the patients. Our Blood Gas Analysis product area, which provides important information about pulmonary function, continued to have strong growth in sales of new instruments, but especially in reagent consumption during the second quarter. Meanwhile, most countries are conducting extensive testing of the population for COVID-19 and we have been able to offer health services large volumes of certified tests from several different manufacturers. Growth in Diagnostics was strongest in Denmark, Finland, Poland, Romania, Sweden and Austria during the quarter.
Demand from research companies was initially weaker during the quarter because colleges and universities in many countries were closed as a result of quarantine rules. When academic customers reopened in the middle of the quarter, orders quickly picked up. Since then we have had strong demand in our niche research companies in Sweden, Norway and Denmark for both instruments and products used in various research projects related to COVID-19. However, the business situation has been much weaker from academic customers in China and the US in particular with respect to our advanced instruments for material analysis. Sales to the pharmaceutical companies have continued to be robust, while demand from the food industry was weaker. Italian EuroClone, which we took over at the beginning of the year, has delivered as expected throughout the period, despite the challenging market situation in Italy.

Medtech
Companies in the Medtech business provides medical device products within the medtech market and assistive equipment within home healthcare.

| EBITA-margin, % | 14.4% | 8.1% | 11.6% | 7.4% | 10.0% | 7.7% |
For the quarter, Medtech's net sales increased by 40 percent to SEK 530 million (380), including organic growth of 39 percent and acquired growth of 5 percent, while exchange rate fluctuations had a negative effect of 4 percent. EBITA rose 148 percent to SEK 76 million (31) and EBITA margin amounted to 14.4 percent (8.1).
For the interim period, Medtech's net sales increased by 35 percent to SEK 972 million (721), including organic growth of 31 percent and acquired growth of 6 percent, while exchange rate fluctuations had a negative effect of 2 percent. EBITA rose 112 percent to SEK 113 million (53) and EBITA margin amounted to 11.6 percent (7.4).

Medtech operations had an extremely strong performance during the quarter both in the Nordic region and in several of the markets in Central and Eastern Europe. Because of needs related to COVID-19 this quarter we delivered huge volumes of medical supplies, especially protective equipment for staff. Thanks to long-term strong supplier relationships and new suppliers in Asia, where our own quality assurance procedures ensure that the products met high quality standards and the regulatory requirements of the Medical Device Directive, we have been able to support health services in this challenging situation.
At the beginning of the quarter, the situation was critical as the entire world simultaneously demanded the same type of products in vast quantity. A large part of the challenge involved finding viable logistics solutions, since several countries had closed their borders to transports. The situation has gradually improved over the course of the quarter as health services have built up inventory and the number of new COVID-19 cases has declined in most of our markets. The most acute phase appears to be over, though there are some concerns about a second wave. Discussions are now underway in most markets with various players regarding how health services should achieve greater preparedness for the future. Our subsidiaries Mediplast and Biomedica have both received extra orders during the quarter that are completely outside of normal framework agreements for personal protective equipment for health services. During the quarter, the extra order of about SEK 100 million for personal protective equipment to Sweden and Norway, which we reported last quarter, was delivered in full from Mediplast.
Sales of products for elective surgery have been substantially lower than normal on all markets, for which reason the percentage of proprietary products in the sales mix is unusually low. Since hospitals have dedicated all resources to emergency and intensive care related to COVID-19, queues for elective procedures have grown exponentially during the spring. In June we saw that elective surgeries resumed in more countries and should return to more normal levels after the summer. Patients have also begun to seek care again for problems other than COVID-19, but with such a large backlog prior to the summer holidays, it will take time to catch up.
Demand for welfare technology and other assistive devices for home care of the elderly in the Nordic markets continued to strengthen during the quarter. Our subsidiary Hepro received a large order during the quarter from 62 Norwegian municipalities for medicine dispensers to be used in eldercare. The trend relating to the need for increased, safe in-home care is strong, but several of our companies saw delays in projects during the quarter since opportunities for physical meetings with customers and on-site installations have been limited during the pandemic.

Financial position and cash flow
At the end of the interim period the equity ratio stood at 45 percent (45). Equity per share totaled SEK 14.34 (13.07) and the return on equity at the end of the financial year was 17 percent (10). Return on working capital, P/WC (EBITA in relation to working capital) amounted to 67 percent (51).
The Group's interest-bearing net debt at the end of the interim period totalled SEK 963 million (902), including pension liabilities of SEK 80 million (80) and leasing liabilities of SEK 229 million (215). The net debt/equity ratio, calculated on the basis of net debt including provisions for pensions and leasing liability, totalled 0.6, which is unchanged compared to the beginning of the interim period.
Cash and cash equivalents, consisting of cash and bank balances, together with approved but non-utilised credit facilities, totalled SEK 687 (439) million on 30 June 2020. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was due to AddLife signing new credit arrangements with Handelsbanken and Danske Bank and therefore increased available credits with additional SEK 200 million to a total of SEK 1,200 million.
Cash flow from operating activities reached SEK 208 million (164) during the interim period. The cash flow has been effected by tied up capital in advances to suppliers for bigger delivieries of personel protective equipment related to Covid-19. Furthermore, the increased sales has led to tied up captial in trade receivables and inventories to guarantee future deliveries. Acquisitions of companies amounted to SEK 66 million (167). Investments in non-current assets during the interim period amounted to SEK 39 million (35). Disposals of non-current assets amounted to
SEK 4 million (2). Repurchase of treasury shares amounted to SEK 31 million (0). Exercised and issued call options amounted to SEK 32 million (8) and paid dividend was SEK 0 million (62).
