CEO'S COMMENTS

ADDvise

CEO's comments

ADDvise entered the first quarter in a strong position, carrying momentum from the fourth quarter of 2020 into the new year with solid organic growth.

The first quarter of 2021 was characterized by organic growth and strong margin improvements. It was driven by continued positive development in our core areas of patient positioning, X-ray, emergency care products and equipment for research laboratories. Net revenue was SEK 87.7 million, a solid organic increase of 4.8% compared with the first quarter of 2020 when the net revenue was SEK 83.7 million. The EBITDA margin for the first quarter was 10.1%, a significant improvement vs. 6.4% achieved in the first quarter of 2020. Sales growth, coupled with continued savings in OPEX have transformed the business in terms of profitability, giving us a strong platform for an exciting year ahead. On our rolling 12 numbers we are approaching SEK 50 million in EBITDA, with an EBITDA margin of 13.7 percent.

Orders received during the quarter amounted to a strong SEK 91.7 million. Orders received during the same quarter in 2020 was SEK 137.3 million, but included a one-time order of SEK 50 million to be delivered over 2020, 2021 and 2022. Excluding that order, the increase in orders received was about 5%.

The additional equity generated from the warrant program during the quarter, generated SEK 27.8 million in cash before transaction costs. Holders of warrants in series 2019/2021 exercised 42,787,137 warrants, corresponding to 99.41% of the number of outstanding warrants. This, combined with a continuation of strong underlying profitability, brought our long-term financial target of a net debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 3.0, down to 2.6 in the first quarter – a great achievement.

Lab business unit

Net revenue within the Lab business unit totalled SEK 37.9 million, an increase of 20.7% compared to the first quarter for 2020 when it was SEK 31.4 million. There are positive signs

from our laboratory customers moving away from low margin consumables and into equipment and laboratory projects like clean rooms and laboratory interiors which carry better margins.

EBITDA for the Lab business unit was SEK 4.6 million, an increase compared to the first quarter of 2020 when it was SEK 0.8 million. The EBITDA margin in the quarter reached 12.1% which is the strongest margin ever for the Lab segment.

Healthcare business unit

Net revenue within the Healthcare business unit totalled SEK 49.8 million, a decrease of 4.7% compared to the first quarter of 2020 when it was SEK 52.3 million. The Covid-19 pandemic lingered within some of our businesses in the Healthcare business unit during the first part of the quarter in 2021, but towards the end of the quarter we started to see an improvement in net revenue. While the near-term US economic outlook has dimmed somewhat in the first half of the year, and elective procedures remain delayed, our core US business is benefiting from insights gained from a historic previous year,

ADDvise

and have to an extent, outperformed the general market conditions.

EBITDA for the Healthcare business unit was SEK 4.6 million, an increase compared to the first quarter of 2020 when it was SEK 4.0 million. In comparable units, OPEX decreased by 13 percent vs the same period in 2020 as we continued to focus and streamline our cost base.

Acquisitions

We continue to work proactively to expand our product portfolio through new and interesting acquisitions within both our business units. On February 16, 2021, we acquired MRC Systems, which is set to be consolidated during the second quarter 2021. MRC specializes in clean rooms and climate-controlled rooms for hospitals and the pharmaceuticals industry. Bringing MRC into the ADDvise Group enables us to create excellent business opportunities within the Lab business unit, and I am sure that we will fill the gap between our organic growth, and our financial target of 20% growth in the upcoming years.

Outlook

Our assessment is that demand within our product segment will remain high, despite the on-going pandemic, and our diverse portfolio of products will benefit us during 2021.

ADDvise's long-term revenue growth is driven mainly by a growing and ageing population, increased prevalence of chronic illnesses and greater investment in healthcare and in research and development. The global population is expected to grow by two billion over the next 30 years. By 2050, as many as one in six people could be over the age of 65.

We are very proud that our balanced product portfolio continues to deliver. We are in no doubt that we will see a marked increase in the willingness to invest in MedTech and research equipment worldwide in the medium to long term. Our clear target is to reach one billion SEK in revenue with a corresponding EBITDA of SEK 150 million within 4–5 years in line with our long-term financial targets.

ABOUT ADDVISE

ADDvise

About ADDvise

ADDvise Group AB (publ) is an expansive group that supplies integrated solutions in the form of products and services to healthcare and research facilities. The ADDvise Group serves customers in both the private and public sectors. Sales are global.

ADDvise's operations are divided into two business areas, Lab and Healthcare, with a highly decentralized organization. Each company operates as a distinctly separate unit and is run independently in order to maintain its own inventiveness and entrepreneurial flair.

Diversified customer base and product portfolio

Although healthcare is an area where there is constant demand for more care at lower cost, sales of medtech products remain relatively stable and non-cyclical. Most sales are to the public sector, where the demand for care is steadily increasing and equipment is required in order to provide the care required.

ADDvise's diversified product portfolio provides us with a broad customer base that includes private healthcare providers that deliver publicly funded care, private clinics that are funded through insurance and, of course, research facilities and other players within life science. We have also increased recurring revenue and contract revenue as a proportion of our total revenue, which provides a stable base of ongoing and predictable income.

Lab business unit

Within Lab, ADDvise is a turnkey supplier of laboratory furnishings and apparatus to research facilities in both the public and private sectors. In a world of ever-growing requirements for quality, precision and cleanliness, ADDvise has products to meet every requirement within life science and healthcare.

Healthcare business unit

ADDvise supplies equipment and consumable materials to healthcare units in Sweden, Europe and North America. Our complete range includes products and customers throughout the healthcare chain, from self-care and home healthcare to surgery and acute, intensive and emergency medical service care. ADDvise's products include advanced high-tech equipment at the leading edge for the most modern of environments and healthcare facilities.

Our acquisition strategy

Acquisition is one of the most important components of the ADDvise Group's growth strategy. The purpose of the acquisitions is to create critical mass in the different industries in which the Group does business. The critical mass and industrial logic underlying the acquisitions strengthens existing operations and allows new market share to be gained.

The industrial logic in the acquisitions will create long-term value for the company's shareholders. Today, focus is directed at companies within the life science sector, which constitutes the core of the ADDvise Group. Under this strategy, the attitude toward acquisitions is rather opportunistic.

The ADDvise Group's Board of Directors and executive management have worked with acquisitions over a long period. This means that the competence necessary to identify a good acquisition and then integrate the company is available internally. We are also strong with regard to readiness to take on board acquired assets, companies and company structures.

The payment structure applied by the ADDvise Group consists mainly of a mix of cash, shares and a supplementary purchase price. We use this payment model partly to create an incentive for the seller to continue assuming responsibility for the development of the company after the sale has taken place, but also to meet the price expectations of the seller.

The companies that ADDvise focuses on are primarily mature companies with good cash flows in more-or-less mature industries. Candidates for acquisition must operate in the business-to-business market, and the level of risk in the company must be relatively low. The size of the candidates may vary, but annual sales may not be below SEK 20 million.

Share and bond

The company's class A share is listed at the S SME trading venue, on the Nasdaq First North Growth Market Sweden. The stock short name is ADDV A and the share's ISIN code is SE0001306119. One (1) class A share equals one (1) vote.

The company's class B share is listed at the S SME trading venue, on the Nasdaq First North Growth Market Sweden. The stock short name is ADDV B and the share's ISIN code is SE0007464862. One (1) class B share equals one-tenth (1/10) of a vote.

The company's warrants in series 2019/2021 were listed at the S SME trading venue, on the Nasdaq First North Growth Market Sweden. The short name for the warrants was ADDV TO 1 and the ISIN code was SE0012142370. The exercise period for the warrants ran from January 25, 2021, to February 8, 2021. The warrants in series 2019/2021 that were not sold by February 4, 2021, at the latest, or exercised no later than February 8, 2021, expired without value.

Fair value description

Short-term investments

Short-term investments, which comprise shares and bonds, are traded on an active market, with the fair value calculated on the basis of the last buy price quoted on the balance sheet date.

Contingent purchase consideration

Contingent purchase consideration refers to the estimated contingent additional purchase consideration for completed acquisitions.

In those cases where the amount is specified in the share transfer agreement, an estimate is made of how likely it is that the condition will be met. If it is considered likely, the purchase consideration is valued at 100% of the agreed amount. If it is considered unlikely, the purchase consideration is valued at 0% of the agreed amount.

In those cases where the amount is not specified in the share transfer agreement, but is calculated on the basis of performance, an estimate is made firstly of the amount and secondly of how likely it is that the condition will be met.

The fair value of contingent purchase considerations can be affected to an extent by currency risk. At the end of the reporting period, the fair value of contingent purchase considerations was SEK 0 thousand.

Note 9 Financial risks

ADDvise is exposed to a number of different financial risks through its activities, such as market risk, credit risk, currency risk and liquidity risk. The Group management and the Board of Directors take active steps to minimize these risks.

The Group's operations also involve a liquidity risk, since large orders tie up significant capital. To minimize the amount of capital tied up, the Group has payment terms with the Group's customers that require a portion of the order value to be paid in advance on the signing of the order. The Group also has factoring agreements in place.

Since the Group's strategy is to make complementary acquisitions, the Group's level of debt may change over time. The Board of Directors always makes an overall assessment of the risk that an acquisition loan represents to the Group.

Note 11 State subsidies and similar Covid-19-related items

During the Covid-19 pandemic, ADDvise has been applying for and receiving various kinds of state subsidies. Details are provided below of the state subsidies and similar Covid-19-related items that are recognized in the consolidated financial statements in this interim report.

State subsidies that are intended to compensate the company for costs relating to short-time working and similar personnel costs are recognized in profit and loss in the same period as the costs for which the subsidies are intended to compensate. The subsidies are recognized on the same rows as the costs in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. During the reporting period, ADDvise received subsidies for sick pay costs in Sweden, as well as subsidies for personnel costs in the USA.
