OTHER INFORMATION

Accounting policies

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Reporting and the relevant provisions of the Annual Accounts Act. The interim report of 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.

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

Segment reporting

The internal financial follow-up per business area is adapted to the Group's various 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 expenses refer mainly to note-related costs.

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 2.6 (2.1) 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 risks. A detailed description of the Group's risks and uncertainties, as well as how these are being managed, is provided in the Directors' Report and in Notes 42 and 44 in the 2021 Annual Report. The risks and uncertainties to which Elos Medtech is exposed have not changed significantly since the Annual Report for 2021 was submitted.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine is affecting the entire western world in the form of rapidly rising prices, notably of metals, oil and gas, of which Russia is a major exporter to the world market. Uncertainty will remain elevated for as long as the war continues. As mentioned in the Annual Report for 2021, Elos Medtech does not hedge its raw material flows. The price fluctuations will therefore affect the Group's manufacturing costs. A higher priority for the Group is to ensure continued production for our customers, and the Group is now proactively ensuring the supply of raw materials for each factory for 2022.

Due to the prevailing uncertainties such as the pandemic and the war in Ukraine, a general increase in inflation has been observed in all markets where Elos Medtech operates. This is pushing up the cost of energy and other inputs as well as other costs, such as personnel costs, and consumables.

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 in the first quarter amounted to SEK 7.2 (6.5) million. The result was negatively affected by SEK 2.2 million due to changed calculation bases for the PRI pension liability. SEK 1.4 million of this change has been reported as increased financial expenses. Profit after financial items amounted to SEK 0.7 (8.0) million, of which SEK 4.0 (9.9) million refers to exchange rate differences mainly related to the translation of loans to subsidiaries. The Parent Company reported a profit after tax of SEK 0.5 (6.3) million. The percentage of risk-bearing capital was 83.2 (84.7) percent. The equity ratio was 83.0 (84.6) percent.

Future-oriented information

The company does not make forecasts.

Future-oriented information in this report is based on management's expectations at the time of the report. Although the Board of Directors and management feel that these expectations are reasonable, it is no guarantee that the expectations are, or will prove to be, correct. Consequently, future outcomes may vary significantly compared to the future-oriented information due to such things as changes in the market conditions for the Group's services or changes in the overall situation concerning the economy, market and competition, changes in legal requirements and other policy measures as well as fluctuations in exchange rates. The company does not undertake to update or correct any future-oriented information except as stipulated by law.

This report has not been been subject to a review by the company's auditors.
