Comments by the CEO
Long-term positive trend in demand
The effects of COVID-19 in Europe have been declining during the quarter and the healthcare systems are adapting to start reducing the lists of patients waiting for postponed elective surgeries that has accumulated during the pandemic. However, the transition takes time and the increase in the number of procedures performed has been slow due to shortage of doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals. The reduction of this backlog is expected to take place gradually over a longer period of time with an increased number of operations performed.
Demand for AddLife's products and services, which are mainly provided to tax- and insurance-funded healthcare systems, as well as to research and pharmaceutical development, have not been significantly affected by the uncertainty in the market. Health services remain a priority also in times of economic uncertainty and activity in research and pharmaceutical development continues in a positive trend. The majority of AddLife's revenues are related to long-term customer contracts or to ongoing sales of disposables and services linked to an installed base of instruments. This provides good stability and predictability in the business, but als requires active efforts to negotiate prices, since we are seeing price increases from suppliers.

The dialogue with customers on this topic is productive, and proactive work to improve margins through efficiency, pricing, product mix and service offering is a strength of AddLife's companies.
Acquisition-driven and organic growth
AddLife's sales in the third quarter increased by 14 percent year-on-year. Organic growth excluding COVID-19 was 2 percent. As expected, COVID-related sales in the Labtech business area continued to decline, but organic growth, excluding COVID-19, was 5 percent. The decrease in COVID-related sales has been fully offset by revenue from acquired businesses in the Medtech business area. During the summer months of July and August, demand in Medtech was slow, but in September we saw a clear improvement and order intake also developed in a positive way.
The operating margin, which excluding the reversed contingent consideration was 9.7 percent, was negatively impacted mainly by lower COVID-19 sales in the Labtech business area and by both unusually low volume of elective surgical procedures during the summer months as well as supply disruptions with certain suppliers within Medtech.
After a long period of supply chain disruptions, delayed deliveries reached our warehouses to an increased extent at the end of the quarter. This is a positive development that will enable increased deliveries to waiting customers, but in the short term it means increased inventory levels and thus an increase in working capital that will be addressed.
In summary, the underlying business developed well in Labtech but weaker in Medtech, including both organic growth and profitability. Improvement efforts with high priority are ongoing in these areas.
Strengthened position creates new opportunities
In recent years, AddLife has completed a number of acquisitions in line with the strategy to establish a strong position in selected product segments in the European market outside the Nordic region. Key objectives have included strengthening the Medtech business area in preparation for an expected recovery in elective surgery and to offset the expected sales decline in Labtech as the effects of the pandemic subside. We can now see the effects of this strategy and AddLife is now a leading European player with over 60 percent of sales outside the Nordics and revenues continue to grow despite the downturn in COVID-related demand. Today, AddLife is a significantly larger group with a good balance between the Medtech and Labtech business areas.
A strategic planning process is ongoing within the group to define how AddLife can best take advantage of this new and strengthened position. The group now has more opportunities to grow in current and adjacent geographic regions and segments and with a strong position in most European markets, AddLife will be an even more attractive partner for customers and suppliers. The strengthened position also provides greater opportunities to market Addlife's own products,

with potential for higher margins. AddLife will also continue to have a clear focus on niches where the companies have leading positions based on a strong product offering combined with value-adding services and, increasingly, digital solutions. Current prioritised areas include leveraging all the organic growth opportunities created by recent acquisitions as well as activities within the companies to increase profitability and cash flow. The profit growth target (EBITA) remains 15 percent per year over the long term and will be achieved through a combination of organic and acquired growth.
The short-term ambition is to reduce debt while working proactively to develop our pipeline of acquisition candidates within strategically selected segments. The focus is mainly on small or medium-sized acquisitions, which can often be added to existing businesses and newly acquired platforms. We see significant opportunities for continued value-creating acquisitions in the future, in particular as valuations are generally expected to come down due to the current market situation.
During the quarter, the acquisition of JK Lab was completed, strengthening the research products portfolio and adding value to the Labtech business. During the interim period, five acquisitions have been completed, which are expected to add annual net sales of approximately SEK 850 million.
Progress in Homecare
In the Homecare area, AddLife is building a unique portfolio of products and services to enable the growing proportion of elderly people to remain at home, with reduced dependence on hospital care and home care services, while maintaining a good quality of life and safety. The offering includes home adaptation products, as well as mobility aids, sensors and a digital platform for connecting sensors and home safety alarms, all under the umbrella of Camanio Care. Also included are solutions for remote patient monitoring related to specific health conditions within Camanio Health.
The Camanio Care digital platform entered a commercial phase during the quarter. The launch of the service is underway and contracts have already been signed with six municipalities in Sweden. Camanio Health is also increasing its commercial activity and entered into an expanded collaboration with a leading region in Sweden during the quarter. Further development of the digital solutions continue and these future-focused investments had a SEK 12 million negative impact on profits in the quarter.
Tangible steps in sustainability efforts
During the quarter, AddLife adopted a new sustainability strategy that will be introduced in the fourth quarter. The strategy focuses on sustainable solutions, sustainable culture and sustainable growth. We have also continued to strengthen areas of governance and compliance and implemented a new sustainability management system.
A concrete example of the shift to more sustainable products is the launch of an innovative new type of bandage by subsidiary Mediplast, which replaces cotton with bamboo fibre. The new material is not only environmentally friendly, but also have patient benefits such as antibacterial properties and increased comfort. Interest from customers is strong and in October a significant multi-year procurement contract was secured with a leading region in Sweden.
Summary
It is with great enthusiasm that I am taking over the position of CEO at AddLife as of September 1st. AddLife has developed in a very strong way under Kristina Willgård's leadership and I would like to thank Kristina for her support during the transition. During my first weeks at AddLife, I have made it a priority to visit our companies and have had very positive meetings with employees and customers. I have been impressed with the high level of commitment and competence of the team members. I see a strong corporate culture characterized by entrepreneurship and business acumen, with a clear link to our vision of improving people's lives. In a business environment with many uncertainties, the demand for AddLife's products is steadily growing. With our strengthened market position, deep understanding of products and customers and our decentralised business model, we will be able to benefit from the many opportunities that the market situation offers. Now we start the work to take the business to the next level!
Fredrik Dalborg President and CEO

Group development in the quarter
Net sales in the quarter increased by 14 percent to SEK 2,100m (1,850). The acquired growth totalled 16 percent and organic growth, excluding COVID-19 amounted to 2 percent. Net sales related to COVID-19 decreased significantly to SEK 151m (300). Exchange rate changes had a positive impact of 4 percent on net sales in the quarter, corresponding to SEK 76m.

NET SALES 3 MONTHS
EBITA increased by 1 percent to SEK 288m (286) and EBITA-margin amounted to 13.7 percent (15.5). Reversal of previously allowance for contingent consideration has had a positive impact on the operating profit of SEK 85m in the quarter. The investment in digital solutions for self-monitoring has had a negative impact on the result of SEK 12m. Exchange rate changes had a positive effect on EBITA, corresponding to SEK 8m.
Net financial items amounted to SEK -41m (-27) and profit after financial items amounted to SEK 142m (180). The increased negative net financial items is due to interest costs related to the acquisitions and exchange rate fluctuations. Interest expenses amounted to SEK 22m (17) and exchange rate losses to SEK 17m (-7). Exchange rate losses are related to recalculation of loans and contingent considerations in foreign currencies. Profit after tax for the quarter decreased by 21 percent to SEK 120m (139) and the effective tax rate was 15 percent (23). The lower effective tax rate is due to the reversal of contingent consideration made in the quarter.
Group development in the interim period
Net sales in the interim period increased by 15 percent to SEK 6,758m (5,862). Acquired growth totalled 25 percent and organic growth, excluding COVID-19 amounted to 3 percent. Net sales related to COVID-19 decreased significantly to SEK 696m (1,626). Exchange rate changes had a positive effect on net sales of 4 percent, corresponding to SEK 228m.

NET SALES 9 MONTHS

EBITA increased by 2 percent to SEK 963m (944) and EBITA-margin amounted to 14.3 percent (16.1). Reversal of previously allowance for contingent consideration has had a positive impact on the operating profit of SEK 85m. The investment in digital solutions for self-monitoring has had a negative impact on the result of SEK 37m. Exchange rate changes had a positive effect on EBITA, corresponding to SEK 29m.

COVID-19 RELATED SALES
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, AddLife has supplied large volumes of products to the healthcare sector. Sales since the first quarter of 2020 have varied based on the spread of infection and restrictions in the society.
Net financial items amounted to SEK -134m (-47) and profit after financial items amounted to SEK 525m (704). The increased negative net financial items is due to interest costs related to the acquisitions as well as exchange rate losses. Interest expenses amounted to SEK 65m (36) and exchange rate losses to SEK 69m (-6). Exchange rate losses are related to recalculation of loans and contingent considerations in foreign currencies. Profit after tax decreased with 22 percent amounting to SEK 421m (543) and the effective tax rate was 20 percent (23).

NET SALES PER MARKET 2022

Sales in the Nordic markets amounted to 35 percent of total net sales compared to 49 percent last year (full year 2021). The change in geographical markets is due to the acquisitions in Europe during 2021-2022.
The war in Ukraine has not had a significant economic impact on the financial reports, but it can not be ruled out that this will happen in the future. We follow market developments closely, where we notice rising inflation, higher raw material, shipping costs and energy costs and greater uncertainty about interest rate developments.

Financial position and cash flow
At the end of the interim period, the equity ratio stood at 37 percent (40). Equity per share totalled SEK 39.39 (35.14) and the return on equity at the end of the interim period was 14 percent (22). Return on working capital, P/WC (EBITA in relation to working capital) amounted to 69 percent (95). The slight decrease is mainly due to a relatively higher working capital, due to acquisitions and logistics chain disruptions where entities increased inventory volume to ensure deliveries to costumers.
The group's interest-bearing net debt at the end of the interim period totalled SEK 5,590m (3,870), including pension liabilities of SEK 67m (82), leasing liabilities of SEK 347m (339) and contingent considerations corresponding to SEK 274m (349). Outstanding bank loans at the end of the interim period amount to SEK 5,052 million (3,408). The short-term bank loans amount to SEK 2,351m (3,147), of which EUR 98.5m is due in the first quarter of 2023, with an option for an extension of up to another 24 months. During the quarter, AddLife renegotiated credit facilities of EUR 225m, which run for three years with an extension option of up to 24 additional months. The group has a good margin in the covenants applicable under the banking agreements, which stipulate an interest coverage ratio of at least 4.0 times and an equity ratio exceeding 25 percent.
The net debt/equity ratio totalled 1.2 compared to 0.9 at the beginning of the interim period. The intention is to reduce indebtedness through self-generated cash flow.
Cash and cash equivalents, consisting of cash and bank balances, together with approved but non-utilised credit facilities, totalled SEK 806m (674) on September 30, 2022.
Cash flow from operating activities reached SEK 558m (617) during the interim period. The change is mainly due to a lower profit after financial items. Acquisitions of companies amounted to SEK 818m (2,660). Net investments in noncurrent assets during the interim period amounted to SEK 186m (93). The increase is attributable to investments in instruments for rental to customers. Repurchase of treasury shares amounted to SEK 49m (0). Exercised, issued and repurchased call options amounted to SEK 23m (-12). Dividend paid to the parent company's shareholders amounted to SEK 243m (183).

* Refers to conditions at the time of acquisition on a full-year basis.
Five acquisitions have been completed during the interim period:
On December 20, 2021, an agreement was signed to acquire the operations from Telia Health Monitoring to the Medtech business area. Telia Health Monitoring develop and provides a digital platform solution that enables self-monitoring by patients with chronic diseases. Access took place on March 1, 2022 and the business, with sales of SEK 4m, and its eight employees, have been integrated into Camanio.
On December 22, 2021, an agreement was signed to acquire all the shares in MBA Incorporade S.L, a leading Spanish orthopaedic and trauma surgery business. MBA is acquired from Atlanta Private Equity, which owns approximately 75 percent, and a number of minority shareholders, which own 25 percent. The final purchase price amounts to a total of EUR 59m after debt settlement and is financed through extended credit facilities. MBA will operate as a separate subgroup and will be part of the Medtech business area. The acquisition was completed and the shares accessed on January 20, 2022. MBA has annual net sales of approximately SEK 670m and 285 employees.
On 1 April 2022, AddLife acquired all shares in the Irish company O'Flynn Medical Ltd. O'Flynn Medical is an independent distributor offering product sales, rental and technical services to the hospital sector, private customers and nursing homes in Ireland. The company will become part of the Healthcare 21 Group, which AddLife acquired to the business area Medtech in 2021. O'Flynn has sales of approximately EUR 6.4m and 36 employees.
On 1 April 2022, AddLife acquired all shares in the German company BioCat GmbH to the Labtech business area. BioCat is a specialized distributor of products and services to the life science research market with annual revenues of EUR 9m and has 20 employees. The company is located in Germany but also has sales in Austria and Switzerland.
On July 1, 2022, AddLife acquired all shares in the company JK Lab Nordic AB to the Labtech business area. JK Lab is a specialized distributor of instruments and services in material sampling and has sales of approximately SEK 25m and 6 employees. The Company has been integrated into Bergman Labora.
The effect of the acquired companies completed during the interim period on the AddLife Group's net sales was SEK 692m, on EBITA SEK 112m, on operating profit SEK 77m and on profit after tax for the interim period SEK 42m. Had the acquistions, been completed on January 1, 2022, their impact would have been aproximately SEK 750m on net sales, on EBITA SEK 123m and on operating profit SEK 85m and SEK 48m on profit after tax.

According to the preliminary acquisition analyses, the assets and liabilities included in the acquisitions carried out during the financial year 2022 were as follows:
| Fair value | Total |
|---|---|
| Intangible non-current assets | 582 |
| Other non-current assets | 428 |
| Inventories | 274 |
| Other current assets | 457 |
| Deferred tax liability/tax asset | -133 |
| Other liabilities | -1,027 |
| Acquired net assets | 581 |
| Goodwill | 408 |
| Consideration¹ | 989 |
| Less: cash and cash equivalents in acquired businesses | -200 |
| Contingent consideration not yet paid | -18 |
| Effect on the Group's cash and cash equivalents | 771 |
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 12m and are recognised as selling expenses. Revaluation of liabilities for contingent consideration added costs of SEK 4m during the interim period, which is recognised as other operating costs. A contingent consideration of SEK 31m has been paid during the interim period regarding the acquisition of Euroclone and Ropox during year 2020. The first contingent consideration, out of two, of SEK 85m, linked to the acquisition of AddVision, which was based on an optimistic sales trend without the impact of COVID-19, has been reversed during the interim period and recognised as other operating income. The reversal of the contingent consideration has had no impact on the valuation of goodwill linked to the acquisition.
Employees
At the end of the interim period, the number of employees was 2,200, compared to 1,802 at the beginning of the financial year. During the interim period, the completed acquisitions have led to an increase of 355 employees. The average number of employees for the last 12-month period was 2,048 (1,365).

Labtech
Companies in the Labtech business are active in the market areas diagnostics, biomedical research and laboratory equipment.

Labtech's net sales decreased by 4 percent in the quarter to SEK 856m (890), where of organic sales, excluding COVID-19 related sales, amounted to 5 percent and acquired growth was 6 percent. Net sales related to COVID-19 decreased by 48 percent and accounted for SEK 151m (290). Exchange rate changes had positive impact of 3 percent on net sales. EBITA decreased by 41 percent to SEK 116m (194), corresponding to an EBITA-margin of 13.5 percent (21.8).

NET SALES 3 MONTHS
Labtech's net sales decreased by 11 percent in the interim period to SEK 2,922m (3,284), where of organic sales, excluding COVID-19 related sales, increased by 6 percent and acquired growth was 4 percent. Net sales related to COVID-19 decreased by 49 percent and accounted for SEK 696m (1,396). Exchange rate changes had positive impact of 3 percent on net sales. EBITA decreased by 30 percent to SEK 529m (750), corresponding to an EBITA-margin of 18.1 percent (22.8).

NET SALES 9 MONTHS

As expected, COVID-related sales continued to decline in the quarter, while organic growth excluding COVID-19, was 5 percent. COVID-19 testing is currently done exclusively using PCR technology and mainly for patients about to undergo surgery and for healthcare workers. An important initiative for the diagnostics companies will be to establish the use of more types of tests on the PCR instruments that have been installed in various healthcare facilities during the pandemic. The influenza season normally starts during winter in Europe and may lead to increased demand for combination tests (influenza, COVID-19 and RSV). Sales development in the diagnostics companies was stable in traditional segments such as blood gas, pathology and microbiology.
Sales to research customers developed well, partly due to the launch of new products. The companies are continuously working to bring new products into the portfolio, especially in advanced and growing segments such as NGS (Next Generation Sequencing), cell therapies, bioprocessing and cancer immunology. In academic research there may be risk of reduced research grants in the future due to the economic environment. In pharmaceutical development and drug discovery, which is a large and important segment for the companies, the positive trend is strong and expected to continue.

For the quarter, Medtech's net sales increased by 30 percent to SEK 1,246m (962), of which organic growth, excluding COVID-19 related sales, was unchanged and acquired growth was 25 percent. Net sales related to COVID-19 accounted for SEK 0m (10). Exchange rate fluctuations had a positive impact of 5 percent on net sales. EBITA increased by 87 percent to SEK 179m (95) and EBITA margin amounted to 14.3 percent (9.9). The reversal of the contingent consideration, linked to the acquisition of AddVision, has had a positive impact on operating profit of SEK 85 million. The additional purchase price was based on a high target that did not foresee the negative impact of COVID-19 on elective surgeries in 2022. Adjusted for this reversal, the EBITA margin is 7.5 percent. The investment in digital solutions for remote patient monitoring and healthcare solutions has had a negative impact on the result of SEK 12m.

NET SALES 3 MONTHS
For the interim period, Medtech's net sales increased by 49 percent to SEK 3,843m (2,582), of which organic growth excluding COVID-19 related sales, amounted to 1 percent and acquired growth was 52 percent. Net sales related to COVID-19 accounted for SEK 0m (226). Exchange rate fluctuations had a positive impact of 5 percent on net sales. EBITA increased by 123 percent to SEK 452m (202) and EBITA margin amounted to 11.8 percent (7.8). The reversal of the

contingent consideration has had a positive impact on operating profit of SEK 85 million. Adjusted for this reversal, the EBITA margin is 9.6 percent. The investment in digital solutions for self-monitoring and healthcare solutions has had a negative impact on the result of SEK 37m.

NET SALES 9 MONTHS
Acquisitions within Medtech delivered strong growth during the quarter, while organic sales were flat. During the holiday months of July and August, demand was slow within Medtech, but during the month of September a clear improvement was noted and order intake also developed in a positive way.
The weaker profitability in the quarter is partly due to fewer planned surgical procedures during the summer months, mainly in orthopaedics, as the healthcare systems gradually recovered after the pandemic.
In ophthalmology a small number of suppliers have suffered from supply disruptions and a few distribution agreements have expired, resulting in reduced sales and also a negative impact on profitability. Deliveries are expected to gradually resume and in some cases products will be phased out and gradually replaced by other products from existing and new suppliers. A focused improvement effort is ongoing in this area.
In advanced surgery, where the companies offer a very high level of service, a new product group in neurosurgery has been introduced. A significant instrument sale was completed during the quarter, which reduced average margins, but will generate higher margin service contract revenues going forward.
Profitability was also impacted by investments in the further development of the Homecare digital platforms, both of which are in an early commercial phase. We see great potential in these solutions and expect continued investments.

Fair values on financial instruments
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 essentially correspond to the carrying amount.

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.

Review report
AddLife AB (publ) Corp. id 556996-8126
Introduction
We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of AddLife AB (publ) as of 30 September 2022 and the nine-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the 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 International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information 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 and other generally accepted auditing practices and consequently does 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, for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.
