53% Quarterly growth

In local currencies, growth was 63%.

CEO JAN WAHLSTRÖM COMMENTS ON Q2

Elos Medtech has maintained the positive trend from the beginning of the year, reporting growth of 6 percent compared with the first quarter and 53 percent compared with the coronavirus-hit second quarter of 2020. The gross margin also remained stable during the quarter.

Dental grew by 12 percent compared with the previous quarter. We have a good position, with an established product range. During the quarter we also launched additional products in the Elos Accurate® family that were well received by the market. This gives dental implant professionals a wider range of options and thus expands the area of use for our hybrid base.

Orthopedics had a strong second quarter. Thanks to our product mix as well as efficiencies and low staffing levels we have increased our margins in the business area. All machines at our Memphis site were validated in the spring and we are now well equipped to further expand production. However, due to the strong demand we are seeing for robotic-assisted surgery products our organization is currently undersized. We are therefore working hard to recruit staff to the site with the current challenge that workers with this skills profile are in strong demand in the US. This situation has resulted in strong short-term results but we expect recruitment to be a long-term challenge.

In Life Science our profitability has remained stable and we proceed to make continuous improvements in production. In June our new production hall in Skara was classified as a cleanroom. The move has gone very well with no disruptions for our customers and we are now ready to start production in the third quarter.

Our focused efforts in Operational Excellence with margin improvement measures have produced clear results. A higher degree of automation has streamlined flows and improved quality, contributing to increased profitability. Growth has gone more or less hand in hand with profitability, although earnings were down slightly on the first quarter. In all business

areas we have experienced certain problems with the delivery of raw materials as well as an increase in the prices of steel and plastics. This is something that we are actively monitoring and addressing, as it could have an impact on our earnings in the long run.

Our medical technology business gives us a stable foundation on which to stand, as we have a direct positive impact on people's lives. We are also aware that the ongoing pandemic could spring a surprise on the world market and therefore maintain preparedness for handling any setbacks.

On July 7 TA Associates announced that it controls 73.1 percent of the shares of Elos Medtech. I welcome TA Associates as the company's new majority owner and would like to take this opportunity to thank all our shareholders, many of whom have held their shares since the company's IPO in 1989. Over the past three decades, we have worked together as a listed company to streamline, acquire and build a strong global corporate group. The key to our success has been a strong local foothold with motivated, skilled and not least loyal employees. We have consistently had a clear strategy to develop our offering and grow more than the market, which we continue to work with.

THE GROUP'S PERFORMANCE

Development during the quarter

Total net sales for the second quarter amounted to SEK 181.0 million, an increase of 53.0 percent compared with the same quarter last year. In local currencies, growth was 63.0 percent. The same quarter in 2020 was strongly affected by the ongoing pandemic, mainly in Dental, and this is reflected in the comparative figures.

The increase compared with the previous year relates to two of the three business areas. Dental has maintained the same strong trend as in the first quarter and grew 173.9 percent compared with second quarter of last year. Proprietary products increased by 118.9 percent, accounting for 14.5 percent of consolidated net sales in the quarter. Orthopedics also grew strongly compared with the same quarter in 2020, with an increase of 41.8 percent, driven by growing demand for roboticassisted surgery products. In Life Science, however, growth was slightly negative, at -0.8 percent compared with the second quarter of last year. The decrease was mainly due to lower sales of hearing implant products, which for Elos Medtech were affected somewhat later than other products by the pandemic in 2020.

Total overheads increased by 55 percent compared with the same quarter last year. From April 2020 around 200 people were working on a short-term basis at our Timmersdala and Görlöse sites. Excluding government grant payments the increase was 18 percent, which is partly attributable to increased personnel and marketing costs, primarily in Dental, and partly attributable to costs incurred in connection with the public bid for the company. Depreciation and amortization charged to earnings totaled approximately SEK 13.2 million, which is lower than last year, mainly because a major investment in machinery has now been fully depreciated and partly due to a currency translation effect of SEK 0.8 million.

The operating profit for the quarter was strong with a margin of 14.7 percent. Earnings increased from SEK 14.9 million in the second quarter to SEK 26.5 million. In the previous year the operating profit included SEK 38.9 million in government grants.

Due to the special situation that existed last year, the quarterly changes does not reflect the Group's commercial performance. Elos Medtech started the current year on a strong note and has maintained the same strong pace of growth into the second quarter, growing by 5.7 percent between the first and second quarters, with all three business areas contributing.

OTHER INFORMATION

Accounting policies

This 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. The same accounting principles and bases of 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 interimreport.

Segment reporting

The internal financial follow-up 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 items mainly refer to note-related costs.

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 income statement. The contributions received are recognized in the income statement as a cost reduction of the items covered by the support.

Financial instruments at fair value

For its 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.

Fair value measurement of interest rate derivatives had a negative impact on quarterly earnings of SEK -0.4 (-0.1) million and for the period a positive impact of SEK 1.7 (-4.4) million.

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 uncertainties, along with how these are being managed, can be found in the Directors' Report and in Notes 42 and 44 in the 2020 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. The spread of the virus in waves and the vaccination rate remain difficult to assess and it is therefore not possible to predict for how long the pandemic will continue to affect the company. The impact on the Group in the first half of 2021 was minor.

Elos Medtech sees an increased need for production staff with technical expertise to ensure that it is able to meet market demand going forward. In some of our markets we see a gap between demand and our existing pool of skilled workers, which could have a negative impact on growth.

No additional risks have been identified that may affect the Group's financial results and position as of June 30, 2021.

Related party transactions

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

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 during the second quarter amounted to SEK 6.5 (2.7) million. Profit after financial items amounted to SEK 9.4 (1.0) million, where SEK -3.9 (-11.7) million constitutes exchange rate differences mainly related to the translation of loans to subsidiaries. The Parent Company's profit after

tax was SEK 11.3 (3.5) million. The percentage of risk-bearing capital was 82.1 (83.7) percent. The equity ratio was 81.7 (83.4) percent.
