CEO JAN WAHLSTRÖM COMMENTS ON Q1

What a great start to the new year! We are once again a fully functioning business despite the ongoing pandemic. Net sales grew in the quarter and were up by 7.7 percent. In local currencies the growth was up by 14 percent.

In addition, earnings were also strong with an operating margin of 14.6 percent, which is a year-on-year increase of 110 percent. All business areas improved their profitability, partly thanks to a well balanced product mix and partly thanks to successful margin improvement measures.

The strongest growth was in Orthopedics, which grew 25 percent in the quarter. As predicted, our new robotic-assisted surgery businesses have given us a good foundation for 2021. Robotic surgery is a fast growing area and is on the agenda of all major orthopedic companies. This, and our results, show clearly that we have made the right strategic choice.

In Dental, net sales increased by nearly SEK 3 million on the previous quarter. The comparative period in 2020 was the best quarter in the company's history and this has an impact on year-on-year growth, which came in at -3 percent. Sales of our proprietary products are positive. Net sales of proprietary products grew 5.4 percent in the first quarter, despite a strong comparative period in 2020. Proprietary products still account for 14 percent of the Group's total net sales, which is above our long-term strategic goal for the second quarter in a row. Sales are mainly driven by our digital product range, Elos Accurate®.

Life Science reported growth of 6 percent. Here our focus has been on our new diagnostics business that we gained last fall and the new products that will go into production this year.

To ensure that we are able to grow with our partners, we are investing in our Skara site and in new machinery in Memphis. The expansion of our Skara site is proceeding at a good pace and we expect to be able to keep the timetable and take the new premises into use in the summer. We realize, however, that the relocation of machinery will be a complex operation that may result in brief shutdowns of production. In Memphis, our first new machines are being installed and validated, and our focus in the near future will therefore be on increasing staff levels.

A challenge that we face now in April is that it still uncertain what course the pandemic will take. Vaccine availability and vaccination rates will probably be crucial in stopping the pandemic, but until then the situation remains hard to predict. We attach great importance to ensuring access to raw materials to avoid disruptions in production, as the pandemic has created certain logistical challenges in the global market.

We got a positive start in 2021 – an important year dominated by two major investments that will be launched in both Skara and Memphis. It is challenging from several perspectives, but I look forward to the future with confidence.

THE GROUP'S PERFORMANCE

Development during the quarter

Net sales for the first quarter of the year were strong, at SEK 171.2 million, which represents a growth of 7.7 percent. The strongest growth was in the Orthopedics business area, which saw an increase of 25 percent, and with a strong develoment in robotic-assisted surgery products. Growth in the Dental business area was negative, -3 percent, but was compared with a very strong first quarter in 2020. Sales of proprietary products in Dental remained strong and were up by 5.4 percent. Proprietary products accounted for 14 percent of the Group's total net sales. Life Science grew 6 percent in the first quarter, driven by the polymer business and Elos Medtech's business in China.

The Group's total overheads in the first quarter were down by around 6 percent on the same quarter the year before, which meant that the sales increase had a significant impact on the Group's reported operating profit. Depreciation and amortization charges amounted to approximately 8 percent of net sales, which is around SEK 3 million less than in the same quarter last year. The reduced charges were partly due to the completion of depreciation and amortization in selling expenses attributable to previous acquisition of just over SEK 1 million and partly to a lower investment rate in production in autumn 2019 and 2020. Investments in new production facilities, mainly at our Memphis site, made at the end of the previous quarter and the beginning of this quarter, are expected to be taken into use in the second quarter of this year.

The increase in sales coupled with flat overheads resulted in a strong quarterly operating profit with an operating margin of 14.6 percent and an operating profit of SEK 25.0 million. All business areas contributed to the improvement in earnings.

Net sales January-March 2021

The Group's total net sales for the quarter increased to SEK 171.2 (158.9) million. The increase of 7.7 percent on the first quarter of

last year was driven by Orthopedics, which grew 25.4 percent, and Life Science, which grew 5.9 percent, while Dental contracted by 3.5 percent. Net sales of proprietary products in the Dental business area grew 5.4 percent and accounted for 14.1 (14.0) percent of the Group's total net sales. In local currencies, the Group's total net sales increased by 14.2 percent.

Earnings January-March 2021

Net financial items

Net financial items amounted to SEK 2.1 (-5.3) million. Interest expenses for the quarter, including interest on lease liabilities in accordance with IFRS 16, totaled SEK -2.6 (-3.2) million.

Earnings per share

Undiluted and diluted earnings per share for the quarter amounted to SEK 2.48 (0.67).

At the end of the quarter, risk-bearing capital amounted to SEK 603.6 (599.6) million, corresponding to 56.4 (54.5) percent of total capital. The Group's equity ratio was 54.2 (52.4) percent.

Investments

The Group's investments during the first quarter amounted to SEK 35.9 (6.3) million and mainly relate to the expansion of the Skara site and new machinery in our orthopedic business.

Cash flow

The Group's cash flow from operating activities during the quarter amounted to SEK 24.3 (9.0) million, driven mainly by strong earnings. The change in the working capital was negative, SEK -10.3 (-13.2) million, primarily due to an increase in trade receivables. Cash flow from investing activities in the first quarter amounted to SEK -35.8 (-6.2) million and refers mainly to continued investments in machinery in Memphis but also to the continued construction of the production hall in Skara. New borrowings during the quarter totaled SEK 9.1 (5.3) million while repayments on existing borrowings were made in the amount of SEK -12.8 (-15.8) million. Cash flow for the quarter amounted to SEK -15.2 (-8.6) million and the Group's cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 76.7 (48.4) million.

Key events in the business area during the quarter

  • Net sales increased by nearly SEK 3 million from the previous quarter to SEK 63.7 million.

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 positive impact on quarterly earnings of SEK 2.1 (-4.3) 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 it manages them, is provided in the Directors' Report and in Note 42 and Note 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 quarter of 2021 was minor.

No additional risks have been identified that may affect the Group's financial results and position as of March 31, 2021.

Related party transactions

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

Parent Company

The Parent Company's net sales in the first quarter amounted to SEK 6.5 (6.3) million. Profit after financial items amounted to SEK 8.0 (11.9) million, where SEK 9.9 (11.6) million constitutes exchange rate differences mainly related to the translation of loans to subsidiaries. The Parent Company's profit after tax was SEK 6.3 (9.3) million. The percentage of risk-bearing capital was 84.7 (78.4) percent. The equity ratio was 84.6 (78.1) percent.
