CEO JAN WAHLSTRÖM COMMENTS ON Q3

We are pleased to see a faster recovery in many of our markets than what was previously predicted. After an especially second quarter, we have again reached a strong operating margin of 12 percent and our sales are up to almost the same level as before the outbreak of the virus. We are now well on our way back and are continuing to focus on achieving our long-term goal of 10 percent growth.

The Group is back to both full staffing and operations on all continents. Regional government support has gradually decreased as our production has resumed and is at SEK 4.4 million for the quarter. Covid-19 is still affecting the world around us and our organization. Adjustment in the organization is fast and is already regarded by many as the new normal.

The biggest recovery we see is within Dental, with a positive growth of 8 percent for the quarter. The market has returned to more normal operations and dental implant surgeries are now being performed again after the total shutdown last spring. Our own products account for the largest increase with a growth of 49 percent. This primarily applies to the digital workflow within the Elos Accurate® family. We feel that more and more of our customers are transitioning to a digital dental workflow. The high rate of digitization that has been accelerated by the pandemic is most likely the reason for some of the growth and we are confident that we will see further developments in the same direction.

Within Orthopedics there is a nice recovery and even though quarterly sales are affected by both Covid-19 and currency effects, growth in local currency compared to the previous quarter is in double digits. The level of activity is high and we are now starting to prepare for previously postponed projects for a start-up of production and deliveries at the end of the year.

The expansion of our site in Skara is proceeding according to plan and we are starting to prepare for occupancy at the end of the year. The entire expansion will be completed in the second quarter of 2021. Polymer operations within Life

Science remain stable and we are seeing increased activity in the market where clean rooms are required. During the quarter, we have brought in two new customers with planned cleanroom production in the new hall in Skara. Several of our other customers in the business area are still affected by the virus outbreak, nevertheless, we are still seeing stabilization within this area.

Our cashflow remains strong thanks to the strict cost awareness that characterizes our organization, giving us good opportunities to invest for future growth within existing business. We also see that the opportunities for growth through acquisitions will be favorable onwards.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank our entire global team. Our employees are the backbone of Elos Medtech and have been a major factor in our ability to recover so quickly. Thanks to a proactive approach, we are now ready to meet the increasing needs of our partners. We are building for the future based on strong liquidity and a good operating profit!

VALUE CREATION FOR THE COMPANY AND OUR STAKEHOLDERS

THE GROUP'S PERFORMANCE

Quarterly performance

Total sales for the third quarter amounted to SEK 147.9 million, a decrease of 5.9 percent compared to the same period last year. The market has displayed a rapid recovery in several areas and both the Dental and Life Science business areas show a positive growth for the quarter of 8.1 percent and 1.3 percent respectively. A contributing factor to the strong growth of Dental is sales of proprietary products, which increased by 49 percent compared to the third quarter of the previous year. Products within the digital workflow account for a large part of this growth. In Life Science, growth remains good in polymer operations and the Chinese operations demonstrated a high level of activity in the quarter. Orthopedics continues to be at a slightly lower pace and growth amounts to -24.4 percent in the quarter. This is an improvement of 3 percent compared to the previous quarter this year. On the positive side, planned activities for the product launch, which was discontinued at the beginning of the year and which was further postponed due to the Covid-19 outbreak in the United States, have now been resumed.

The Group's cost structure has also been positively impacted during the third quarter by the government support received and which has mainly affected our gross margin. Operating profit for the period was positively affected by SEK 4.4 million, of which SEK 3.9 million is attributable to the cost of goods sold. During the quarter, a decision was made to write down outgoing products within our proprietary products and certain raw materials. This has negatively affected earnings by SEK 2 million.

The Group's cost-saving measures have continued to have a positive effect. Underlying expenses were approximately 11 percent lower than in the same period last year. Higher development costs during the quarter are mainly due to a lower share of development projects and more ongoing work such as MDR registration of our proprietary products.

Sales, SEK million

A recovery in sales coupled with a continuing high cost awareness have yielded a strong operating profit with an operating margin of 12.1 percent for the third quarter of 2020.

The Group's operating cash flow development during the quarter remains positive and amounts to SEK 32.2 million (1.8). This improvement is partly due to an increase in sales and partly to a continued decrease in working capital. Investments continue to remain at a low level also for the third quarter, which has contributed to this positive development. The strong cash flow together with the decrease in net debt creates opportunities for an increased rate of investment in the future as the market returns to a more normal level.

Net sales July-September 2020

Consolidated net sales during the quarter decreased amounting to SEK 147.9 (157.1) million. The 5.9 percent decline compared to the third quarter of the previous year can be attributed to Orthopedics -24.4 percent, while Dental and Life Science demonstrated a positive growth of 8.1 percent and 1.3 percent, respectively. Proprietary products in the Dental business area show a positive growth of 49 percent during the quarter and account for 14.2 percent (9.0) of the Group's total net sales. Net sales in local currencies decreased by 1.7 percent.

Net sales January-September 2020

Consolidated net sales for the first nine months decreased to SEK 425.2 (531.1) million. The change of -19.9 percent compared to the same period last year is attributable to all of business areas: Dental -11.4 percent, Orthopedics -25.3 percent and Life Science -22.7 percent. The development of proprietary products shows a positive growth of 2.9 percent (11.1) and accounts for 13 percent (10.1) of the Group's total net sales. Net sales in local currencies decreased by 19.7 percent.

OTHER INFORMATION

Accounting policies

This condensed Group interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Reporting and relevant provisions in the Annual Accounts Act. The interim report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with Chapter 9 of the Annual Accounts Act, Interim Report. The same accounting principles and bases for calculation as applied in the most recent annual report have been used for the Group and the Parent Company.

In addition to in the financial statements, disclosures in accordance with IAS 34.16A are also presented in parts of the interim report.

New accounting policies 2020

A number of new or amended standards have been adopted for the current reporting period. These changes have not significantly affected the Group's financial statements and no retroactive adjustments have had to be made as a result of the adoption of these standards.

Significant risks and uncertainties

The Group's principal risks and uncertainties include operational and financial risks. Among operational risks, Elos Medtech is primarily affected by risks associated with customers and markets, but also other external factors such as price risks for materials and supplies. The Group also faces financial risks associated with changes in exchange rates and credit. A detailed description of the Group's risks and instability factors, as well as how these are being managed, can be found in the Directors' Report and in Note 41 and Note 43 in the 2019 Annual Report.

Covid-19 has led to a major disruption in economies worldwide, which has affected several of the markets in which Elos Medtech operates.

In the short term, Elos Medtech has been able to fend off the resulting reduction in demand due to the ongoing pandemic with cost savings and government support, which has provided Elos Medtech with the intended positive effect of the subsidies. Primarily, this was achieved during the second quarter. Reconciliations of the funds received have taken place, but final decisions have not yet been received from the relevant authorities, which may give rise to some uncertainty as to the final amount of the aid. The Group's assessment is that Elos Medtech meets all the criteria for receiving the support for which it has applied and currently sees no significant risk that material amounts will have to be repaid.

As of 30 September, 2020, no additional risks have been identified that could affect the Group's financial results and position.

Valuation of assets and liabilities

Given the current circumstances, the valuation of existing assets has been reviewed. Impairment testing of subsidiary shares and goodwill has been carried out based on the current impact on the Group's business areas due to Covid-19. The discount rate has been increased by 1 percentage point to 9.3 percent compared to the valuation at the 2019 financial statements. Sensitivity analyses have been made carried out the same assumptions as Note 17 in the 2019 Annual Report. None of these valuations, individually, gave rise to impairment requirements attributable to the three business areas.

Based on the Group's earnings and position as of 30 September and the recovery expected during the fall, there is no change in the valuation of the Group's loan portfolio.

Financial instruments at fair value

For property loans in the US, the Group swaps its variable interest rate for a fixed rate through interest rate swaps. These interest rate swaps are recognized at fair value via the income statement. Unrealized gains and losses arising from fluctuations in the fair values of the financial instruments are recognized in net financial items in the consolidated income statement. For interest rate swaps, fair value is determined based on market prices. If such prices are not available, fair value is determined by discounting the difference between the contractual interest rate and the interest rate that can be obtained at the balance sheet date for the remaining contract term. Any premiums paid for the swap contract are recognized as interest over the term of the contract. As Elos Medtech intends to hold these derivatives to maturity, mark-to-market accounting of the derivatives over time will not affect earnings or cash flow.

Valuation of the fair value interest rate derivatives has had a positive impact on earnings for the quarter of SEK 0.4 million and for the first nine months earnings have been negatively affected by SEK 4.0 million.

Related party transactions

The company had no transactions with related parties during the reporting period.

Accounting of government grants

Government grants are recognized in the income statement in the same period as for the costs they are intended to offset. Furthermore, there should be reasonable certainty that the grants will be received and any conditions for the grants will be met in order for these to be recognized in the profit and loss account. The contributions received are recognized in the profit and loss account as a cost reduction of the items covered by the support. Types of support received in the Group:

  • Support for short-term work (Sweden, Denmark)
  • Support for covering fixed costs (Sweden, Denmark)
  • Payroll Protection Program (USA)
  • Reduction in social security contributions (Sweden, China)
  • Temporary rent reduction (China)
Reported government grants by function Jul-Sep Jan-Sep
Cost of goods sold 3.9 34.0
Selling expenses 0.1 2.2
Administrative expenses 0.4 4.3
Development costs - 1.9
Financial expenses - 1.6
Total government grants received 4.4 44.0

The Group will continue to receive some support even during the fourth quarter, albeit to a small extent.

Segment reporting

The internal financial monitoring by business area is adapted to the Group's different customer segments and uses operating profit as a measure to assess segment performance. Directly attributable items and items that can reasonably be allocated by segment have been included in the segment's operating profit .

Unallocated group-wide items mainly refer to note-related costs.

Parent company

In addition to the administration of central management issues, the parent company also provide Group-wide support in IT and marketing, quality management, risk management, financing and financial control.

The parent company's net sales in the third quarter amounted to SEK 6.2 (4.6) million. Profit after financial items amounted to SEK -5.1 million (5.2), where SEK -6.3 million (7.7) constitutes exchange differences mainly related to the translation of loans to subsidiaries. The parent company's profit after tax was SEK -3.2 (4.0) million. The percentage of risk-bearing capital was 84.7 (78.7) percent. The equity ration amounted to 84.4 (78.4) percent.

Gothenburg, October 20, 2020

Elos Medtech AB (publ)

The Board of Directors

Auditor's report on the review of condensed interim financial information

Elos Medtech AB (publ) corp. ID no. 556021-9650

Introduction

We have conducted a summary review of the condensed interim financial information (interim report) for Elos Medtech AB (publ) as of September 30, 2020 and the nine-month period ending on that date. Responsibility for preparing this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act rests with the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Focus and scope of the review

We have performed our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review involves posing questions, primarily to persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has a different focus and significantly narrower scope than a full audit conducted in accordance with ISA and generally accepted auditing standards. The review procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a degree of certainty that would make us aware of all important circumstances that would have been identified if an audit had been conducted. The conclusion based on a review therefore does not have the same certainty as a conclusion based on an audit.

Conclusion

Based on our review, we have not discovered any circumstances that would give us reason to consider that the interim financial statement has not, in all material respects, been prepared, in respect of the Group, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act and, in respect of the parent company, in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.
