CEO JAN WAHLSTRÖM COMMENTS ON Q1
Covid-19 is having an ever increasing impact on society and the level of uncertainty is very high. While being mindful and respectful of this, I am immensely grateful that in 2019 we succeeded in building a solid financial and organizational foundation for Elos Medtech. We entered 2020 and the ongoing global crisis having just posted the Group's strongest earnings to date. The pandemic has highlighted the benefits of our persistent efforts working on cost efficencies and of operating on several continents and across multiple segments. Despite this, we expect a significant decline in sales over the coming six months, particularly in Dental, and that's why we are working to further reduce our costs. As this has been a very different start to the year in which the focus is on the virus outbreak, we have chosen to expand the information provided in this report by adding an additional page where we describe our assessment of the situation and the measures we are taking, see page 4.
Covid-19 will of course have an impact on Elos Medtech but in the first quarter we experienced no major disruptions to sales, and we began the year on a stable footing despite the uncertain global environment. Nevertheless, the downturn for the first half of the year that we forecast in February is expected to have a significant impact on our next quarterly figures.
At SEK 159 million, net sales for the period were in line with the figures for last fall but were significantly lower than in the first quarter of 2019, in which we sold an inventory worth over SEK 13 million to Brüel & Kjær. Our operating profit was SEK 12 million, which is well in line with fall 2019. Earnings are hard to compare with the first quarter of last year due to significant non-recurring items in that period.
We have continued our efforts to streamline production flows and optimize processes in the same spirit as before. At the beginning of the year, our Chinese site was forced to remain closed for 21 days to covid-19, and I am very proud that our employees in China succeeded in handling the long closure without any delivery problems.
My current assessment is that the covid-19 outbreak will have a negative financial impact on the company throughout 2020 and I expect a significant decline in sales in the second and third quarters. We have placed around 200 employees at our production
sites on short-term furloughs and are continuously monitoring customer demand to ensure that we are able to return to normal production as soon as the need returns. Based on what we know today, we expect to be able to continue to produce and deliver in line with our customers' requirements.
Certain types of products that we produce are prioritized by local authorities, and we are of course also giving priority to these products. Our Memphis site, for example, has been classified as a priority business by the authorities because of the trauma products that we manufacture. We have also seen a significant increased need for injection-molded components for ventilators from Getinge and have therefore to some extent adapted our production in Life Science to meet this need. Although the products account for a minor part of our overall production, these components play an important role in life-saving treatments and it is therefore crucial to ensure fast and secure delivery.
In other areas we have delayed product launches by our contract-manufacturing customers, and the effects of this will be felt throughout 2020. In view of the uncertain outlook, it is not possible to foresee what long-term impact the pandemic will have on Elos Medtech. We are keeping a close eye on developments to ensure that we are able to make quick and well informed decisions. Our primary focus is on ensuring the health and protecting the jobs of our employees while minimizing the company's financial risk.
Adjusting is about having the right attitude. By taking a flexible approach, we are preparing to meet both reduced and increased demand based on the adjustments that are made in health care as the crisis unfolds.

EVENTS RELATED TO COVID-19
Assessment of the impact
The spread of the covid-19 virus has become a global concern that is having a significant impact on the whole of society. Our current assessment is that the covid-19 outbreak will have a negative financial impact on the company throughout 2020.
Overall, we expect a significant decline in sales in the second and third quarters. As the outlook is unpredictable, it is not possible to foresee what longer-term impact the pandemic may have on the company.
Measures taken in the Group
In view of the uncertain outlook, we quickly adopted a number of measures to protect cash flows and maintain profitability that were implemented during the period and in early April.
We placed about 200 employees at our Timmersdala and Görlöse sites on short-term furloughs and have received assistance under the support packages offered by the governments in all our countries of operation. We expect the furloughed employees, who mainly work in our Dental business area, to remain on furlough throughout the second quarter. As early as February, we cancelled business trips as well as all internal and external projects that were not considered business-critical in the short term.
We are also taking measures to improve cash flow and are introducing restrictions on investments and running costs in order to protect our short-term cash flow. Further measures aimed at securing the Group's cost structure on a longer-term basis are being evaluated.
Assessment of the impact by business area
It is clear that our 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 what we know today, we expect to be able to continue to produce and deliver in line with our customers' changing requirements.
Dental
The business area where we have seen the biggest impact after the end of the period is Dental, where we expect a low level of activity in the short term. In many countries, dental care has been limited to emergency treatments due to the risk of infections and shortages of materials. It is therefore very difficult to assess when the market for dental implants will recover.
Orthopedics
The impact on the business area is mainly due to changing customer needs as a result of changed health care priorities and decisions by customers to postpone product launches by several months and in some cases up to a year. Despite this, we currently only expect to see minor changes in demand in the short term.
Our Memphis site has been classified as a priority business by both local and federal authorities due to the trauma products that we manufacture. This means that we receive support from the authorities to maintain normal production despite the general shelter-at-home recommendations.
Life Science
Life Science was the first business area to be affected by the coronavirus pandemic, as our site in China was closed for 21 days in February by order of the authorities. As our production of medical devices was viewed as a prioritized form of production, we received permission from the Chinese authorities to resume production at an early stage. Production is now in full swing again and the negative economic consequences have been limited. The impact on the business area going forward will be determined primarily by changing health care requirements.
A positive development is that we are seeing a significant increased need from Getinge for injection-molded components for ventilators. These account for a minor share of net sales in Life Science, although these components are an important part of life-saving treatments.
Our financial position
At the end of the first quarter of 2020, we had bank deposits of SEK 48 million and an undrawn credit facility of SEK 70 million, which equates to 18 per cent of net sales (on a rolling 12-month basis). Together with the measures we have taken and will be taking, this will give us a stable financial foundation to stand on.
Our employees
We also want to stress the importance we attach to our employees and their safety and health. We have taken a wide range of measures to ensure that our employees feel safe and to minimize the risk of infection. We have strengthened our already strict hygiene and safety procedures with further recommendations and restrictions and are issuing regular communications on the status in the Group.

CREATING VALUE FOR THE COMPANY AND OUR STAKEHOLDERS
THE GROUP'S PERFORMANCE
Quarterly performance
Total net sales for the first quarter were largely in line with the final quarter of 2019. The Dental business area began the year on a strong note both in contract manufacturing and own products while Orthopedics is still in between two launches, which had a negative impact on net sales. The year-on-year comparison is affected by a SEK 13.3 million sale of inventories to the customer, Brüel & Kjær, in the Life Science business area in the first quarter of 2019.
The quarterly operating profit decreased to SEK 11.9 (21.4) million, mainly due to significantly lower volumes compared with the year-before period. Covid-19 had some impact on the Group already in the first quarter, as our Chinese business was forced to shut down for 21 days, although it was up and running again before the end of the period. The sites have taken various measures to adapt their operations to the new market environment. Towards the end of the period, short-term furloughs were initiated in varying degrees at some of Elos Medtech's Nordic sites and cost-cutting measures were implemented to secure cash flows. A minor restructuring at our Danish site has negatively affected the period, with SEK 3 million. Depreciation charges were also up compared to the previous year, mainly within the business area Orthopedics.
Although our focus is on measures to improve cash flow, we have continued to expand our Skara site as planned. This investment accounted for one third of total investments for the period.
Net sales January–March 2020
Consolidated net sales for the quarter decreased and amounted to SEK 158.9 (189.9) million. The decrease compared with the first quarter of 2019, -16.3 percent, is attributable to Life Science, -37 percent, and Orthopedics, -16 percent, while net sales for Dental increased by 8 percent. Net sales of own products in Dental grew 4.7 percent year on year and accounted for 14.0 (11.2) percent of consolidated net sales. After currency translation, growth in consolidated net sales was negative, -18.4 percent.
Earnings for January–March 2020
For the first quarter, operating profit amounted to SEK 11.9 (21.4) million, which corresponds to an operating margin of 7.5 (11.3) percent. The year-on-year change was chiefly due to lower volumes and higher depreciation charges. Exchange rate differences had a positive impact of SEK 2.2 (2.4) million on net financial items for the Group while revaluation of interest rate swaps had a negative impact of SEK -4.3 million. Net financial items were SEK -5.3 (-0.8) million. The profit after financial items was SEK 6.6 (20.6) million and earnings after tax were SEK 5.4 (15.3) million.
Earnings per share for the period
Undiluted and diluted earnings per share for the period were both SEK 0.67 (1.90).
