CEO JAN WAHLSTRÖM COMMENTS ON Q2

Our long-term strategy and work with cost-efficiency measures in combination with our vigorous action to seek and receive government support means that we overall stand strong and report a good result even during a time of upheaval, to say the least. We have during the last 12 months reduced our costs among other things by reducing the workforce by 10% and by working with improvements in production. As predicted earlier, Covid-19 has had a negative impact on the quarter in terms of sales. We see the biggest market downturn in the Dental business area followed by Orthopedics and Life Science. Being able to quickly switch some of our production in Life Science to injection molding and the assembly of parts for ventilators is our way of contributing to the global crisis. However, in the long run we see no change in our business areas but anticipate a continued long-term, steadily growing market.

The market in Orthopedics looks as if it will recover faster than previously predicted. Orthopedic departments, mainly in the United States, which have been converted to Covid departments in hospitals, are now beginning to return to normal operations. Emergency surgeries have priority before elective surgeries and since our operations are primarily within trauma, we see not only less impact but also a faster rate of recovery.

Polymer operations in Life Science is continuing to do well and to meet this demand, the expansion of our site in Skara is in full swing. Everything is going according to plan and stage one is expected to be ready for occupancy at the beginning of the fourth quarter. The biggest decline in Life Science is related to hearing implants, i.e. operations that have not been prioritized during the pandemic.

We are seeing a recovery in the Dental business area, even though the level of activity in dental clinics is still very low. Recession, unemployment and increased safety practices are likely to have a negative impact on the implant market even in the longer term. Even now, however, we are seeing positive signals. From an almost total stop (20% of the previous volume), we are now up to 55%. It is gratifying that Elos Accurate's entire digital portfolio is now available in the US. After having been on

the European market for many years, we have now gone through the rigorous process of 510(k) and have now received clearance by FDA to market Elos Accurate® on the American market. We have observed a lot of interest in the launch and will focus on this during the fall.

I don't want to conceal the fact that times are tough – and want to take this opportunity to pay tribute to the loyal organization I have the privilege of working together with. A rapid conversion and ongoing efficiency measures deliver results but it requires both the understanding and commitment of our employees, something we at Elos Medtech have really displayed during the past months.

The recovery will take time but with a solid foundation from 2019, the measures we have implemented and no current underlying long term changes in the markets in which we are active, we are equipped to build an even stronger company. We have positive signals from most of our key customers and will gradually return to full workforce employment. Our order of priority will also continue to focus on our employees and minimized financial risk for the company. Teamwork and efficiency are especially important in crisis situations and through an agile approach and the redistribution of human resources, we stand ready to quickly meet customer needs as demand increases.

EVENTS RELATED TO COVID-19

Assessment of the impact

Covid-19 has now fully developed into a global concern. Our current assessment is that the Covid-19 outbreak will have a negative financial impact on the company throughout 2020. The latest market information indicates sign of recovery during the second half of the year.

Healthcare has been affected as the virus has spread from Asia to other continents. Many treatments that are not essential for life have been limited or postponed and dental clinics have been temporarily shut down. However, market signals suggest that several countries are resuming planned visits, operations and other interventions, which consequently leads to a cautious return to more normal healthcare services.

Future demand will be affected by how quickly and efficiently normal healthcare operations can be resumed. The main factors are:

  • Vaccines and other effective treatment for Covid-19
  • Public health care priorities and the ability of private health care to meet demands
  • Availability and capacity in operating theaters
  • The influx of patients, affected not only by the fear of becoming infected but also by insurance and private economy factors
  • Economic activity and development of unemployment

Nevertheless, the progress of the virus remains unpredictable and it is not possible to foresee for how long the pandemic may have impact on the company.

Measures taken within the Group

To meet the prevailing uncertainty, a number of measures were quickly adopted and implemented already in February to protect cash flows and to ensure profitability. Elos Medtech has actively been working to transform the organization and has taken measures which have led to a reduced workforce by about 10 percent in the last 12 months.

Elos Medtech has benefited from various support packages offered by local governments and authorities. Since April about 200 people are on short-term furloughs from the sites in Timmersdala and Görlöse. The short-term furloughs will continue in part during Q3, and this will primarily affect the Dental business area.

Assessment of the impact by business area

Customers are being affected by the pandemic in different ways depending on their geographic market and the market segment in which they operate. Based on today's information production and delivery are expected to be performed in line with customers' expectations.

Dental

The Dental business area have seen the biggest impact with a low level of activity up to mid-June. The quarter ended with a slight increase in demand. On the other hand, in the last two months, several of the international companies have published information about lower growth and are generally cautious in their forecasts.

The reason why there is greater uncertainty about the outlook in Dental compared to the other business areas, is because patients themselves mostly pay for the cost of implant treatment and the willingness to pay can be adversely affected by a higher level of unemployment and poorer personal finances. With this in mind, it is very difficult to assess when the market for dental implants will have recovered.

Orthopedics

The impact on the business area is mainly due to changing customer needs as a result of changes in healthcare priorities and decisions by out customers to postpone product launches. Compared to April and May the demand increased in June, indicating that the market in the United States in particular is recovering faster than estimated in the previous interim report.

Life Science

Life Science is the business area which were first affected but so far has been the least impacted by the pandemic. Going forward the impact for the business area will mainly be depended on changing needs of the customers as a result of changes in healthcare reprioritization with regard to operations for bone-anchored hearing implants and the use of different analysis instruments.

Other markets within this business area, envisage continued stable future development.

Financial position

At the end of the first quarter of 2020, the Group had bank deposits of SEK 67 million and an unutilized overdraft facility of SEK 68 million, which equates to 23 per cent of net sales on a rolling 12-month basis. This is a strengthening of liquidity compared to the end of the previous quarter. The strong liquidity means that Elos Medtech is well equipped for the expected recovery at the end of the year.

Employees

The employees' safety and health have more importance during current circumstances. The local management teams have taken a wide range of measures to ensure that the employees feel safe and to minimize the risk of infection. Elos Medtech has strengthened the already strict hygiene and safety procedures with further recommendations and restrictions and communicates on a regular basis the health and safety status to the employees within the Group.

THE GROUP'S PERFORMANCE

Quarterly performance

Total sales for the second quarter amounted to SEK 118.3 million (35.7), a decrease of 35.7 percent compared to the same period last year. Covid-19 has had a negative impact on all of the Group's business areas. The greatest impact has been in Dental with a decline of -52 percent. Life Science has also been negatively affected by the pandemic, with a negative growth of -24 percent and Orthopedics of -34 percent. For Orthopedics, the decline is also due to a change in product mix compared to the previous year. Elos Medtech has been noticeably affected by Covid-19 during the quarter, but currently sees no underlying change long-term in the markets in which it operates.

The Group reports a decrease in the cost of goods sold by 39 percent. Elos Medtech has implemented measures to reduce costs including employees on short-term furloughs primarily in the Dental business and through Payroll Protection Program within Orthopedics. But also through employee reductions due to efficiency measures, which led to workforce reduction of 50 employees compared to the same quarter last year.

SG&A expenses decreased by 40 percent in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the same period last year, partly due to government support and partly to fewer travel and marketing activities.

Despite a significantly lower volume, operating profit for the quarter only decreased by SEK -0.7 million to SEK 14.9 (15.6) million. In order to counteract the negative impact of the pandemic on the Group, the Board has frozen its fees, management has waived bonuses and the entire Group has frozen its salaries. Several of the Group's subsidiaries have applied for and received government support. The subsidies are designed differently but are primarily aimed at supporting the Group's liquidity for managing fixed costs and mainly the Group's personnel costs.

Elos Medtech has also received smaller amounts of relief with respect to social security contributions in Sweden and China. The total amount of reported government support for the quarter included in operating profit amounts to SEK 37 million.

The Group's operating cash flow development remains positive, SEK 34.2 million (11.7) in the quarter. A strong contributory factor is the grants and support received during the quarter, but also reduced working capital, continued high cost awareness and investment moderation have contributed to the positive development. In Denmark, we have received a deferral of payment of personnel taxes until the beginning of 2021 of the equivalent of SEK 10 million. Furthermore, on April 21, the Annual General Meeting resolved that no dividend will be paid for 2019. The strong cash flow creates a solid foundation for a higher level of activity during the fall.

Net sales April-June 2020

Consolidated net sales during the quarter decreased to SEK 118.3 (184.1) million.

Proprietary products in the Dental business area show a negative growth of 35 percent during the quarter and account for 10.1 percent (10.0) of the Group's total net sales. After currency translation, growth in consolidated net sales declined by 36.2 percent.

Net sales January-June 2020

Consolidated net sales for the first six months decreased to SEK 277.2 (374.0) million.

OTHER INFORMATION

Accounting policies

This condensed interim report for the Group has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Reporting and the 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. For the Group and the Parent Company, the same accounting principles and calculation bases have been applied as in the most recent annual report.

Disclosures in accordance with IAS 34.16A are not only reported in the financial statements but also 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 been necessary 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. Operational risks affecting Elos Medtech are primarily risks associated with customers and markets as well as other global factors such as the price risks for input goods. In addition, the Group manages the financial risks associated with changes in exchange rates and credit risks. A detailed description of the Group's risks, factors of uncertainty and their management can be found in the management report as well as notes 41 and 43 of the annual report for 2019.

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 state aid, which has provided Elos Medtech with the positive effect that was the intention of the subsidies. In most markets, these aids are paid in advance, and reconciliations for the funds received will be made a posteriori, which may give some uncertainty as to the amount of final aid. The Group's assessment is that Elos Medtech meets all the criteria for applied aid and currently sees no significant risk that material amounts will have to be repaid. In cases where the Group has not used the funds received, provisions have been made in the financial statements.

For more information on the measures the Group is working on to address the effects of Covid-19, see page 4. No further risks have been identified that could affect the Group's financial results and position at June 30, 2020.

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 based on 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 financial position and performance as of June 30 and the recovery expected during the fall, there is no change in the valuation of the Group's loan portfolio.

Related party transactions

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

Accounting for 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 contributions will be received and any conditions for the contributions 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 and Denmark)
