CEO's comment

Strong order intake

The third quarter of 2024 showed continued strong order intake and net revenue growth. Order intake increased by 17% to SEK 422 million (360), where our operations in the Nordic region had a particularly strong order intake during the quarter. We are also seeing signs of increased demand for capital goods in the US market.

Despite challenging comparative figures from 2023, especially in the pharmaceutical sector and rental of equipment for clinical trials, we showed a robust development with a net revenue increase of 26% to SEK 404 million (321). The decrease on an organic basis of 25% is mainly due to strong comparative figures from these product categories. Excluding these segments, we see organic growth of 6% for the period January−September, which reflects the strength we have in our business. We see a robust development in the companies acquired in 2023, which means that laboratory equipment and medical consumables have become the main contributors to the Group's net revenue.

EBITDA was SEK 88 million (94) with a margin of 22% (29%), which is mainly due to a changed product mix. We are actively working to optimize our working capital and cash flows. Our cash position remains strong with a liquidity of SEK 400 million at the end of the quarter. Cash flow for the period was SEK -8 million (-44), largely affected by tax payments for the 2023 income year. This year, we have an increase in investments in equipment for the rental business for clinical trials, which is only natural for this type of business. Working capital build up was lower than in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. Changes in working capital had a negative effect on cash flow during the period of SEK -4 million, compared with SEK -35 million last year.

We continue to carefully evaluate acquisition opportunities, while remaining focused on optimizing our net debt ratio, which is currently above our long-term target.

We look forward to a strong end to 2024 and to continue our long-term strategy to create sustainable value for our customers and shareholders. As the newly appointed CEO, I would like to take this opportunity to thank former CEO Rikard Akhtarzand for all the work that he, together with all employees, has done to take ADDvise to what it is today. In my role as CEO, I will continue to work closely with our teams to improve our operational efficiency to further strengthen our business for continued profitable growth. Together, we will continue our mission to extend, improve and save people's lives.

Plans to change listing venue to Nasdaq Stockholm

As part of the continued development of ADDvise, the company has for some time reviewed the possibility of changing listing venue for its A and B shares from Nasdaq First North to Nasdaq Stockholm main market. The Board of Directors believes that a change of listing venue would be beneficial for the company's continued development, provide a broader capital allocation toolkit, and increase the company's attractiveness to institutional investors. The Board of Directors and management have therefore initiated the process to change listing venue. The change of listing venue is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2025.

Note 4 Business combinations

In January, 2024, ADDvise paid a cash purchase consideration of SEK 96.2 million regarding the acquisition of all shares in Diabetic Supplies Inc (Diabetic Supplies). Diabetic Supplies was consolidated from August 7, 2023, the date on which ADDvise entered into a share purchase agreement with the owners of Diabetic Supplies and obtained control of the company. At the time of issuing ADDvise Group's financial statements as of September 30, 2023, the company was not part of the Group's financial statements, which in this interim report are the comparison periods July−September

2023 and January−September 2023. Diabetic Supplies was included only in the pro forma numbers in the interim report for January−September 2023. The reason being, that at the time of publication of the interim report for January–September 2023, we did not yet have access to facts from the company's accounting that made it possible to accurately estimate the period's result. Diabetic Supplies was included in the Group's financial statements for January−December 2023, as the cash purchase consideration had been paid at the time of issuing the 2023 year-end report. Diabetic Supplies is an American supplier of MedTech equipment to diabetes patients.

Updated purchase price allocations 2024

The fair value of acquired assets for acquisitions in 2023 has been updated. The reasons behind the updates:

  • » analysis of facts that existed by the time of the acquisitions
  • » payments of adjustments to cash purchase considerations
  • » completion of financial statements for the acquired companies relating to the opening balances

At the time of preparation of preliminary purchase price allocations in the year-end report for January–December 2023, the accounts for 2023 for the acquired companies were preliminary.

The items intangible non-current assets, property, plant and equipment, deferred tax assets/liabilities, other liabilities, and goodwill in the purchase price allocations presented in this interim report are still preliminary only as the analysis of facts that existed by the time of acquisition is ongoing for one of the acquisitions. We estimate the change to bring an increase in acquired identifiable net assets in the range of SEK 5 to 10 million, with no change in the amount of acquired net assets.

Fair value description

Short-term investments

Short-term investments, which comprise 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 purchase 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 purchase agreement, but is calculated on the basis of performance, an estimate is made first, of the amount and second, of how likely it is that the condition will be met.

At the end of the reporting period, the majority of contingent purchase considerations were based on key performance indicators that must be met in the acquired subsidiaries. One acquisition has contingent purchase considerations based on a key performance indicator and also contingent purchase considerations based on a non-financial condition.

The key performance indicator EBITDA is adjusted for service fees and similar items affecting comparability. The conditions are often structured so that a maximum amount is paid out if the subsidiary reaches the target key performance indicator that was agreed upon in the share purchase agreement. If the key performance indicator target is not reached, there are often levels that result in a lower amount for the contingent purchase consideration. If these levels are not reached either, no contingent purchase consideration is paid. According to certain share purchase agreements, earnings from more than one financial year may be combined in order to achieve an EBITDA that results in a contingent purchase consideration being paid.

If an actual contingent purchase consideration deviates from the assessment made at the time of the acquisition, this has an effect on the Group's profit/loss. A write-down of a liability for a contingent purchase consideration is reported on the line Other operating income. A write-up of a liability for a contingent purchase consideration is reported on the line Other operating expenses. Contingent purchase considerations for acquisitions completed at the end of the reporting period, are estimated to amount to SEK 346.1 million. If the subsidiaries do not reach the required targets, no contingent purchase consideration is paid. An estimate of the range for possible outcomes of contingent purchase consideration is from SEK 63.7 million to SEK 483.0 million at the end of the reporting period.

The fair value of contingent purchase considerations is subject to currency risk. At the end of the reporting period, the fair value of contingent purchase considerations can be affected by changes in SEK versus BRL, EUR and USD. A change in the currency exchange rate for BRL of 5% would have an effect of SEK 5.2 million on the valuation of contingent purchase considerations and SEK 0.0 million on profit/loss before tax. A change in the currency exchange rate for EUR of 5% would have an effect of SEK 6.3 million on the valuation of contingent purchase considerations and SEK 6.3 million on profit/loss before tax. A change in the currency exchange rate for USD of 5% would have an effect of SEK 5.9 million on the valuation of contingent purchase considerations and SEK 0.0 million on profit/loss before tax.

Note 7 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 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.

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 any acquisition financing represents to the Group.

Note 8 Liabilities with covenants

The Group's bond loan 2023/2026 with an issue date of May 26, 2023 and bond loan 2024/2027 with an issue date of April 4, 2024, as well as the Group's overdraft facility within the Group's cash pool have covenants. The covenants are linked to the ratio of net debt to EBITDA and are evaluated at the end of each quarter ("maintenance test") and prior to increased indebtedness or dividends to shareholders ("incurrence test").

Bond loan 2023/2026 is due for repayment on May 26, 2026. At the end of the reporting period, the outstanding amount was SEK 1,450.0 million, of which SEK 403.75 million were held by the Group, giving a net of SEK 1,046.3 million.

Bond loan 2024/2027 is due for repayment on April 4, 2027. At the end of the reporting period, the outstanding amount was SEK 605.6 million, corresponding to USD 60.0 million.

The Group was in compliance with the covenants at the end of the reporting period. The bond loans are classified as non-current. At the end of the reporting period, the overdraft facility was not utilised. The terms and conditions of the bonds in their entirety are published on www.addvisegroup.com.

Net debt to EBITDA according to bond term sheet

Note 9 Equity

New share issue 2024

On March 14, 2024, ADDvise carried out a directed new share issue of 10,650,000 shares of series B, corresponding to approximately SEK 100 million before issue costs. Through the directed new share Issue, the number of outstanding shares increased by 10,650,000 shares, from 188,184,197 shares to 198,834,197 shares. The share capital increased by SEK 1,065,000.00, from SEK 18,818,419.70 to SEK 19,883,419.70.

Definition of key performance indicators

In its financial reports, ADDvise uses alternative performance measures, in other words financial measures that are not defined by IFRS. Management uses these performance measures to assess the Group's financial development as a complement to the performance indicators that represent generally accepted accounting practice. Described below are financial measures not defined by IFRS. Unless otherwise stated in the respective key performance indicator definition, the Group's definition of the key performance indicator is unchanged from previous periods.

Financial measures that use items not otherwise presented in financial statements or by other facts in this interim report are described with detailed calculations.

EBITDA

EBITDA is a measure that the Group considers relevant for an investor wishing to understand profit generation before investments in non-current assets. The Group defines earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) as operating profit/loss from continuing operations excluding depreciation and amortization relating to tangible and intangible assets.

EBITDA margin

Operating profit/loss before depreciation and amortization as a percentage of net revenue.

Equity per share

Equity at the end of the period attributable to the parent company's shareholders divided by the number of shares at the end of the period.

Equity ratio

Adjusted equity as a percentage of total assets.

Gross margin

Net revenue minus cost of materials as a percentage of net revenue.

Net debt

The Group defines net debt as the net sum of cash and bank plus short-term investments and interest-bearing liabilities. The Group monitors this performance indicator since it shows the level of debt and is part of one of the long-term financial targets adopted by the Board of Directors.

Net debt to EBITDA

The Group defines net debt to EBITDA as the net sum of cash and bank plus short-term investments and interest-bearing liabilities divided by pro forma EBITDA on a rolling 12-month basis. The Group monitors this performance indicator since it shows the level of debt and is one of the financial targets adopted by the Board of Directors. For a definition of EBITDA, see above.

Net debt to EBITDA according to bond term sheet

The Group defines net debt according to the bond term sheet as the net sum of cash and bank plus short-term investments and liabilities to be included in net debt according to the bond term sheet. The calculation of net debt to EBITDA according to the bond term sheet is different from the Group's net debt/EBITDA key performance indicator, which is one of the Group's financial targets. The Group follows the net debt to EBITDA according to the bond term sheet key performance indicator as it is obliged to report this under the terms of the Group's bond loan. The key performance indicator is not calculated for periods before the issue of the bond loan in May 2023. As of the interim report for January−March 2024, the presentation of the calculation is included with other information in Note 8 Liabilities with covenants.

Net margin

As of the interim report for January−March 2024, the key performance indicator net margin is replaced by the key performance indicator profit margin, which uses profit/loss for the period, after taxes, and is considered to be more representative. Net margin was based on profit/loss before tax (EBT).

Number of employees

The number of employees working at the end of the period.

Operating margin

Operating profit/loss as a percentage of net revenue.

Operating profit/loss (EBIT)

Profit/loss before financial items and tax.

OPEX

The Group defines OPEX (operating expenses) as the sum of other external expenses, personnel costs and other operating expenses. The Group monitors this performance indicator since it shows the effectiveness of cost-saving initiatives and cost control.

Orders received

New customer orders received during the period, plus additions and deductions for changes to customer orders received earlier in the current financial year. Additions and deductions are made for changes to larger customer orders with delivery schedules spread across several financial years even if the customer order was received in a previous year.

Organic growth

About ADDvise

ADDvise is an international life science group, operating within the business areas lab and healthcare. Our business model is successful and delivers long-term, solid returns with the aim of generating sustainable value growth. The combination of acquisitions and organic growth forms the basis of our growth strategy. We are continuously working on add-on acquisitions while at the same time developing our existing businesses.

ADDvise are long-term owners that operate a decentralized business model, and our focus is to maintain entrepreneurship and business acumen at a local level in the companies we acquire.

Our business concept

ADDvise's mission is to extend, improve and save people's lives by developing and providing products and services for healthcare and research.

Our acquisition strategy

Acquisitions is one of the most important components of ADDvise's growth strategy. The purpose of acquisitions is to create critical mass in the different industries in which the Group does business. The industrial logic in the acquisitions should create long-term value for the Company's shareholders. We focus exclusively on companies within the life science sector.

Strong trends and long-term growth

Several factors contribute to the long-term demand for products and services in the life science and medical technology markets. There is a substantial need for increased capacity and modernization in both the private and public healthcare and lab sectors. An additional factor is that populations are growing and aging in almost every country in the world. This creates long-term demand for our products.

Decentralization

Every company within the Group functions as a separate entity and operates independently so as to retain its own strategy and culture. This enables product development and key commercial decisions to be made closest to customers, based on cultural and geographical considerations.

Support and knowledge sharing

Subsidiaries of the ADDvise Group are offered central support in everything from high-level strategic decisions to advice on pricing, marketing, and how to optimize their balance sheet and working capital.

Increasingly complex regulations are creating significant barriers for smaller players who struggle to allocate sufficient resources to ensure full compliance. A Group-level QA/RA (quality assurance/regulatory affairs) function offers the subsidiaries support and guidance to ensure that the Group's companies comply with applicable quality standards, laws, and regulations.

ADDvise encourages the sharing of knowledge, experience, and business opportunities with other subsidiaries within the Group.

Sustainability

ADDvise's business concept is to extend, improve and save people's lives by developing and providing products and services for healthcare and research. It is a social responsibility that contributes to a more sustainable society.

Sustainability goals by 2030

ADDvise's long-term sustainability goals have a clear connection to the company's vision of contributing to a sustainable society. The sustainability goals, in combination with the financial goals, will ensure that the company steers towards long-term profitable and sustainable growth.
