Comments from Mattias Perjos, CEO

Strong order intake and increased sales contributed to sharp improvement in margins

"In 2024, Getinge had record sales and we finished off the year with a consistently strong quarter. Both order intake and net sales increased significantly, also organically, with positive performance in all regions. We noted particularly strong growth in ventilators where we are clearly capitalizing on the consolidation in the market. Furthermore, consumables in ECLS in Acute Care Therapies and Sterile Transfer in Life Science, showed solid performance.

Paragonix Technologies, Inc., which was acquired in Q3 2024, reported impressive growth in the fourth quarter. The KidneyVault portable renal perfusion system, which addresses the largest organ transplant market in terms of volume, received FDA 510(k) clearance. This means that Paragonix now has unique breadth in its product portfolio, which encompasses all major organ categories.

The strong cash flow and earnings for the quarter highlight the leverage we have in terms of profitability when we achieve higher sales, have a healthy mix and an efficient flow in operations. Our focus this year on structural measures to enhance productivity and cost efficiency also contributed to a sharp improvement in the operating margin compared with Q4 2023.

After the board's review, we have initiated a process with the strategic intention to phase-out the Surgical Perfusion product category, to further strengthen Getinge's long-term growth and profitability. This would contribute marginally positive to adjusted EBITA from 2025 and gradually increase onwards, thanks to reallocation of resources to attractive areas such as ECLS and Transplant Care. Our market share in Surgical Perfusion is not satisfactory and the market growth is limited.

Despite geopolitical uncertainties and potential trade barriers, our industry is likely to remain relatively stable, driven by long-term healthcare needs and hospitals' willingness to invest. Throughout 2024, we have demonstrated strong positioning in prioritized product categories. This gives us a positive outlook for 2025, where we expect organic net sales growth of 2-5% for the full year.

I would like to take the opportunity to thank all of our customers for 2024, which has been a challenging year in many ways, and also our employees for all their efforts during the year to create value for our customers in their important work to deliver more and better care to more patients."

Adjusted EBITA – bridge between Q4 2023 and Q4 2024

  • Currency effects impacted adjusted gross profit by SEK 30 M and adjusted EBITA by SEK 149 M in the quarter.
  • The gross margin increased, primarily as a result of price adjustments, volume, product mix and currency.
  • Adjusted operating expenses increased organically by 2.8%. They increased inorganically by 5.0%. (Read more on page 4).
  • Adjusted EBITA rose by SEK 825 M compared with the year-earlier period and the margin improved by 6.1 percentage points.
  • Acquisition and restructuring costs and other items affecting comparability primarily derived from write-downs related to the potential phase-out of the Surgical Perfusion product category, SEK 522 M, and provisions for planned field actions for Cardiosave, SEK 297 M.
  • Net financial items amounted to SEK -173 M, mainly as a result of higher net debt.
  • The tax rate at the end of the quarter was 27.5% for the full year.

  • Acute Care Therapies' adjusted EBITA increased by SEK 430 M, mainly due to higher sales, price adjustments, mix effects and currency.

  • Life Science's adjusted EBITA increased by SEK 218 M, primarily due to price adjustments, higher sales, mix effects and currency.
  • Adjusted EBITA for Surgical Workflows increased by SEK 201 M, mainly due to higher sales, price adjustments, currency, mix effects and productivity improvements.

• Adjusted operating expenses increased organically by 2.8%, mainly as a result of higher variable employee remuneration and other operating expenses. Inorganically, these expenses increased by 5.0%, mainly resulting from additional costs arising from acquired units.

  • The year-on-year difference for other operating income and expenses was mainly attributable to currency effects related to operating receivables and liabilities in foreign currency.
  • Exchange-rate fluctuations, meaning translation and transaction effects, impacted adjusted gross profit by SEK 30 M compared with last year, of which SEK 5 M in translation effects and SEK 25 M in transaction effects and hedging outcome.
  • The change in adjusted EBITA attributable to currency effects was SEK 149 M, of which SEK 8 M arose from translation effects and SEK 141 M from the net of transaction effects, hedging outcome, and revaluation of operating receivables and liabilities in foreign currency.
  • Compared with last year, free cash flow was positively impacted by the improved underlying business performance. Working capital increased, but to a lesser extent compared with last year.
  • The financial position remains solid, although the share of net interestbearing debt in relation to EBITDA has increased after the acquisition of Paragonix Technologies, Inc.

Sustainability developments

Getinge has continued its work on performing a double materiality assessment that commenced in 2023. This interim report reflects the preliminary results of this assessment and is based on the ESRS structure to present the company's impact, risks and opportunities from a social, environmental and governance perspective. The aim is to continuously work to minimize the negative impact on people and the environment and to generate sustainable value for customers, employees and other stakeholders.

  • The KPIs were adjusted in Q1 2024 and beyond so that the former KPI quality index has been replaced by regulatory compliance and product quality. Employee engagement has been added. Percentage of recycled waste will henceforth be reported in the Annual Report. This will also apply to water consumption and volume of waste for landfill.
  • The employee engagement index was updated with the results of the employee survey in Q4, with the same score of 71.
  • For sick leave, we see a positive downward trend compared with the figure for full-year 2023.
  • The regulatory compliance KPI increased slightly in 2024 compared with 2023 after a number of intensive quality audits at the start of the year.
  • For product quality, the KPI is based on number of new field actions. A higher number of field actions were initiated in 2023, mainly related to Cardiosave. The figures normalized at the start of 2024.
  • The outcome for online customer training increased compared with 2023, mainly related to a customer activity in October 2024 – Getinge's Respiratory Care Week.
  • Efforts to further enhance the quality of Getinge's sustainability data have resulted in the restatement of some data regarding climate and energy for 2023 and 2024. For 2023, one legal entity, High Purity New England, was added through acquisition. The gas metric was restated for three legal entities in Germany for 2023-2024, which transitioned to more granular measurement methodologies. The metrics related to gas and electricity from 2023-2024 for one legal entity were corrected and the reporting process was improved to reduce the risk of inaccuracies going forward.

  • Progress continues to be made on EU MDR certification, for example, the Intergard Silver (Class III) collagen-coated vascular graft was awarded certification during the quarter.
  • Continued progress also related to the previously communicated field actions for the Cardiosave balloon pump. Technical solutions are now identified and in different stages of implementation. A provision of SEK 297 M was hence made in the quarter.
  • Cardiopulmonary has initiated a process with the intention of phasing out the Surgical Perfusion product portfolio and reallocate resources to areas of profitable growth, mainly in ECLS and Transplant Care. The intention is to implement this shift in 2025. See page 9 for more information.
  • The organic order intake for Acute Care Therapies increased strongly during the quarter, mainly for ventilators in Critical Care, Cardiopulmonary and Cardiac Assist.
  • Geographically, the organic order intake increased in all regions. Both the US and China performed strongly.
  • Organic net sales for Acute Care Therapies reported double-digit growth in the quarter, mainly due to strong sales of ventilators in Critical Care. In addition, ECLS consumables, EVH in Cardiac Surgery and both hardware and consumables in Cardiac Assist made significant contributions to growth.
  • Sales were strong in all regions.
  • Capital goods reported a sharp organic increase. This was also the case for recurring revenue that had a strong contribution from both service and consumables.
  • The adjusted gross margin increased by 1.8 percentage points, primarily as a result of higher sales, price adjustments and mix effects.
  • Organically, adjusted operating expenses increased by 0.8%, mainly due to higher variable employee remuneration. Adjusted operating expenses increased inorganically by 7.2%, mainly due to acquisitions.
  • Adjusted EBITA rose by SEK 430 M, mainly due to higher sales, gross profit and currency. The margin increased by 5.2 percentage points.
  • Currency effects impacted sales by SEK -1 M, adjusted gross profit by SEK 23 M and adjusted EBITA by SEK 88 M.

Events in the business area in the quarter

  • The installation of geothermal energy began at the Ardon plant in France in October. The project is expected to reduce annual gas consumption by 800 MWh, corresponding to 240 tons of carbon dioxide per year. This represents a significant step toward self-sufficiency.
  • The integration of the acquired company Healthmark was successful and it contributed to financial earnings that exceeded expectations in terms of both sales and margins. In 2024, consumables became the largest category in Infection Control, representing one-third of revenue.

Other information

Intention to phase-out Surgical Perfusion

Getinge has initiated a process with the intention of phasing out the Surgical Perfusion product portfolio, which is part of Cardiopulmonary in Acute Care Therapies, in 2025. The intention is to reallocate resources to areas of more profitable growth, mainly in ECLS and Transplant Care. The Surgical Perfusion market has experienced low growth and Getinge has continuously lost market share to the current level of 7% outside the US, which is the largest market globally.

The products intended to be phased out are the HL40 heart-lung machine and the HCU40 heatercooler unit, as well as consumables used in Surgical Perfusion. The assumption is that competitors will be able to meet demand. Getinge is aware of the potential impact of this intention and is committed to working closely with customers during a potential transition. The production facilities concerned are located in Hechingen and Rastatt in Germany and in Antalya, Türkiye. The intention is to maintain all three production facilities with a continued focus on producing ECLS solutions.

The intention has been shared with relevant employee representation bodies and employees, in line with local labour regulations, and necessary steps have been initiated. The final decision on the restructuring is dependent on the outcome of negotiations with the employee representation bodies. In 2024, Surgical Perfusion had net sales of approximately SEK 450 M. The preliminary assessment is that approximately 385 positions are in scope of the intended phase-out and the expected restructuring costs amount to a total of approximately SEK 800 M, of which SEK 522 M is recognized in the fourth quarter of 2024 as an item affecting comparability, primarily consisting of write downs of capitalized R&D and inventory. This means limited impact on cashflow. In total, the restructuring process is expected to have a marginally positive impact on adjusted EBITA in 2025 and beyond.

Events after the end of the reporting period

There are no significant events to report.

Seasonal variations

Getinge's sales and earnings are affected by seasonal variations. The highest net sales are usually generated in the fourth quarter, followed by the second, third and first quarters. The shares of sales derived from capital goods and recurring revenue also normally changes during the year, with a higher share of sales of capital goods toward the end of the year.

Transactions with related parties

Getinge carried out normal commercial transactions with companies in the Carl Bennet AB sphere, which comprised the sale and purchase of goods and services. In addition, no other significant transactions with related parties occurred during the period other than transactions with subsidiaries.

Forward-looking information

This report contains forward-looking information based on the current expectations of company management. Although management deems that the expectations presented by such forwardlooking information are reasonable, no guarantee can be given that these expectations will prove correct. Accordingly, the actual future outcome could vary considerably compared with what is stated in the forward-looking information, due to such factors as changed conditions regarding finances, market and competition, changes in legal and regulatory requirements and other political measures, and fluctuations in exchange rates.

Dividend

The Board of Directors and CEO propose a dividend for 2024 of SEK 4.60 (4.40) per share, a combined total of SEK 1,253 M (1,198). The Board's dividend proposal for 2024 is a deviation from the policy of paying dividends of 30–50% of net profit. The proposal is based on the favorable cash flow generated by the operations. The final date for trading including the right to receive dividends is April 22, 2025 and the proposed record date is April 24, 2025. Euroclear expects to distribute the dividend to shareholders on April 29, 2025.

2025 Annual General Meeting

Getinge AB's Annual General Meeting will be held on April 22, 2025 in Halmstad, Sweden. Shareholders wishing to have a matter addressed at the Annual General Meeting can submit their proposal to Getinge's Board Chairman by e-mail: [email protected], or by mail: Getinge AB, Att: Bolagsstämmoärenden, Box 8861, SE-402 72 Gothenburg, Sweden. To ensure inclusion in the notice and the agenda, proposals must be received by the company not later than March 4, 2025.

Risk management

External risks

Description Potential consequences Management
External shocks,
such as geopolitical
risks, natural
disasters, terrorism,
pandemics, etc.
Rapidly emerging situations, which
could affect large geographical areas,
a single country, a region or a specific
facility.
The primary risk of such events is that
employees could be injured. In addition,
operations can be disrupted, which
could have a negative impact on sales
and earnings.
Active market intelligence can identify some of these risks at an early stage, which
enables the Group to adapt to the changed circumstances. The process of further
strengthening the Group's management of continuity risks continued in 2024. This
also includes scenarios based on external shocks as part of Getinge's proactive risk
management.
Getinge conducts operations in Russia in accordance with international sanctions
and regulations via a small sales company. The activities in the country are
currently limited to fulfilling existing customer commitments. However, the
circumstances for conducting operations in the country have gradually
deteriorated. Getinge does not conduct any manufacturing operations in either
Russia or Ukraine and has no major suppliers in these countries. When Russia
invaded Ukraine in 2022, the Group's sales in Russia and Ukraine represented less
than 1% of the Group's total net sales and equity. Despite the limited direct impact
that the invasion has had on Getinge's operations in Russia and Ukraine, the
Russian invasion of Ukraine may nevertheless have a negative impact on the
development of the Group's earnings and position. However, it is difficult at the
current time to assess the future consequences of the conflict and its impact on
the Group.
Getinge is actively monitoring the current debate on trade barriers such as
customs. Getinge has a geographically diversified purchasing and production
strategy which partly can help to mitigate any negative consequences.
Interruptions in
supply chains /
dependence on
external suppliers
Critical components manufactured
by external suppliers are a vital part
of Getinge's production chain.
Serious
production disruptions may arise if
these components are not supplied
on schedule.
As a consequence, vital equipment may
not be delivered to customers, which
may make it difficult or impossible to
provide necessary healthcare.
Getinge actively monitors critical suppliers, starting as early as when the
partnership is established and continuing with routine evaluations. The
Purchasing organization has tools for assessing risk and receives regular training
in this area. The Group also works on ensuring that it has adequate levels of
critical components in stock, in its own operations or with the relevant supplier.
Interruptions of critical deliveries are also managed as an important part of
activities related to business continuity risks. See "Business interruptions."
Risks related to
healthcare
reimbursement
systems
Political decisions can change the
conditions for healthcare through
changed reimbursement models for
healthcare providers.
Changes to reimbursement systems
could have significant effects on
specific markets, with budget cuts or
deferred funding potentially impacting
the operations.
Although it is difficult to influence this risk directly, since decisions are outside the
Group's control, it is mitigated by the presence in a large number of markets,
which reduces the overall impact of individual changes.
New competitors
and new
technologies
Certain markets and product
segments have niche players who
offer solutions outside customary
market behavior.
These competitors could capture
market shares from established
companies, including Getinge, which
could result in lower sales and
earnings.
Through continuous innovative development and market analysis, Getinge strives
to be at the forefront, identify potential competitors and adapt to technological
changes. The industry is also considered to have high barriers to entry since
medical devices are subject to extensive regulatory requirements.
Increased
expectations and
new laws and
regulations
related to
sustainability
The sustainability requirements and
expectations placed on Getinge as a
company are changing, and the scope
is increasing rapidly.
Getinge's failure to meet the ever-more
stringent environmental, social and
governance requirements could have
negative consequences on the
company's reputation, operations and
financial earnings. It may also impact
the company's ability to recruit and
retain competent staff, and risk
disqualifying the company from
participating in tenders with specific
requirements.
By engaging with stakeholders and improving its materiality assessment and ERM
process, Getinge increases its understanding of the expectations placed on the
company. It is also beneficial that the company has adopted the focus areas that
are to be prioritized moving forward. In addition, the company has developed its
sustainability framework, focusing on the products and solutions placed on the
market to ensure quality and corporate responsibility. This also leads to employee
engagement. The company reports annually on its performance in sustainability in
a transparent manner in accordance with the GRI standards and is making
preparations ahead of the forthcoming CSRD.
Increasing
competition for
public funds
Reduced public budgets for investing
in medical devices impacts the total
market potential.
Increased competition for limited
public funds may lead to reduced
funding for medical device investments,
which in turn negatively impacts
Getinge's sales figures.
Getinge works actively to offer solutions that improve the efficiency of healthcare,
which is believed to generate healthy demand even where budgets are
constrained.

Operational risks

Description Potential consequences Management
Quality risks from a
regulatory
perspective
A large part of Getinge's product range
is subject to strict legislation requiring
extensive assessments, quality
controls and detailed documentation.
It cannot be ruled out that Getinge's
operations, financial position and
earnings may be negatively impacted in
the future if the company is unable to
comply with regulatory requirements or
if these requirements change.
To limit these risks, Getinge conducts extensive quality and regulatory activities.
The Quality Compliance, Regulatory & Medical Affairs function has a
representative in the Getinge Executive Team and also on the management teams
of each business area, and in all R&D and production units. In addition, Getinge's
sales force and service technicians receive quality and regulatory training every
other year, and then have their certification renewed, which is a requirement for
representing the company.
Getinge conducts extensive research and development to ensure that the product
portfolio meets all existing and future quality and regulatory requirements.
The majority of the production facilities have ISO 13485 and/or ISO 9001
certification. In summary, Getinge invests significant resources in quality and
regulatory matters, which is a top priority of the Group's strategy.
As previously reported in the first quarter of 2023, the notifying body TÜV SÜD
decided to temporarily suspend the CE certificate for Getinge's HLS and PLS sets
for ECLS therapy and for Getinge's intra-aortic balloon pumps. As a result, the
company initiated corrective actions to regain CE certification for these products.
At the end of September 2024, TÜV SÜD reinstated Getinge's CE certificate for HLS
and PLS sets, with certain conditions. The temporary suspension of Getinge's
Cardiosave Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump, effective from March 2024, was extended
until July 1, 2025. On May 8, the FDA sent a letter to healthcare providers in the US.
The letter does not refer to any new field actions, but healthcare providers are
encouraged to move from using Getinge's Cardiosave, Cardiohelp and HLS sets to
alternative products and to continue to use Getinge's products only if no other
options are available. As a result of the FDA's letter, Getinge has decided to
suspend marketing activities for the relevant products in the US until outstanding
actions related to quality improvements have been taken and approved. Sales of
these products are restricted to customers who do not have any other alternatives.
On November 15, 2024, the FDA published a Letter to Health Care Providers on its
website, reminding them of the voluntary medical device removal and supply
concerns related to all of Getinge's VasoView Hemopro Endoscopic Vessel
Harvesting (EVH) Systems. Actions are being taken as agreed with the FDA.
Product quality from
a customer
perspective
In certain cases, Getinge's products do
not always meet customer
expectations.
Product quality shortcomings could
lead to customer seeking out
alternative suppliers, which in turn
could negatively impact sales and
profitability over time.
Getinge applies a comprehensive quality process to ensure a high and even level of
quality, which is an ongoing process that results in continuous improvements.
When quality fails, it is important to rapidly rectify the fault during the first service
visit. Getinge closely monitors the "first-time fix" factor of its services operations
and works actively to make improvements.
Product liability risks Healthcare suppliers run a risk, like
other parties in the healthcare
industry, of being subject to product
liability and other legal claims.
Such claims can involve large amounts
and significant legal expenses. Getinge
carries the customary indemnity and
product liability insurances, but there is
a risk that this insurance coverage may
not fully cover product liability and
other claims.
The most important way of managing these risks is the extensive quality-related
and regulatory activities performed by the Group. Sources of potential future
claims for damages are monitored through active incident reporting. Corrective
and protective action (CAPA) is initiated when necessary to investigate the
underlying cause, after which the product design may be corrected to remedy the
fault.
The settlement process regarding the Multidistrict Litigation (MDL) for surgical
mesh implants, which Getinge announced previously, has been completed and
payment of the majority of the settlement amount was made in the first quarter of
2023. The settlement is not an admission of liability or wrongdoing by the company.
Getinge will continue to defend against any litigation that cannot be resolved
under the final agreement. Costs for such processes are not expected to be
material.
Information and data
security
Leaks of confidential information or
hacking into the Group's IT system
resulting in restricted availability or
interruptions of business-critical
systems. In this context, extortion or
sabotage cannot be excluded either.
Hacking into IT systems could lead to
business interruptions. A loss of
sensitive information may adversely
affect confidence in the company.
Leaks of personal data could lead to
high fines.
Getinge's IT structure in production is largely decentralized, which reduces the
consequences of any unauthorized access by spreading the risks across different
systems. At the same time, a shared infrastructure for central services ensures
efficiency and coordination where necessary. During the year, the Group improved
authentication processes to prevent hacking, and this process will continue in the
years ahead. Getinge conducts extensive surveillance and monitoring of the
central infrastructure to quickly detect and counteract security threats.
Deficiencies in
cybersecurity
Security deficiencies in the Group's
digital offering, such as connected
machines at customer sites and
stricter legal requirements for
processing personal data. In this
context, extortion or sabotage cannot
be excluded either.
Restricted availability of equipment
delivered by Getinge to its customers,
which could result in interruptions to
the hospital operations and it not being
possible to offer patients sufficient care
in critical situations.
Getinge works diligently and systematically, following a risk-based approach, to
ensure the integrity of its connected equipment. By continuously evaluating and
prioritizing security risks, we can effectively protect both our systems and our
customers' data. Comprehensive access testing is carried out before these
solutions are offered to the Group's customers so as to identify and rectify
potential vulnerabilities.
Business
interruptions
Unforeseen events, such as natural
disasters or fires, etc. can cause
disruptions to production or the
supply chain.
Such events may result in costly, delayed
or non-delivery of products to Getinge's
customers, which may adversely affect
the Group's earnings.
There is a risk of temporary business interruptions, for example, due to supply
constraints for key components such as semiconductors, as a result of the
uncertain global security situation. Getinge takes continuous preventive action to
ensure a high level of availability and delivery reliability, including regular
inspections of the production facilities with the help of external expertise.
Non-compliance with
laws and regulations
mainly on business
ethics
Breaches of competition law, anti
corruption, data protection (such as
GDPR) or trade restrictions.
Breaches of these regulations could lead
to fines, sanctions and have a negative
impact on the Getinge brand.
Getinge has previously provided information about ongoing investigations and
agreements with the authorities regarding anti-competitive procedures related to
the sale of medical devices in Brazil. The process with the Brazilian federal
authority, Comptroller General of the Union (CGU), is still ongoing. During the third
quarter of 2024, Getinge made, in line with applicable accounting standards, a
provision of SEK 482 M related to anticipated costs related to this process. The
provision is the result of an ongoing constructive dialogue to reach a conclusion in
the negotiations with the CGU. The final and definitive costs will be determined
once the negotiations have been concluded, and such an amount could be lower or
higher than the provision that has now been made. No information emerged in the
fourth quarter of 2024 that would cause a change in the provision.

In addition to the investigations with CGU, Getinge has previously communicated that settlement agreements have been reached with the Brazilian Federal Prosecutor's Office (Ministério Público Federal) in 2018 and the competition authority, Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE) in 2019, both related to anti-competitive practices relating to the sale of medical devices. It cannot be ruled out that any further agreements with authorities may have a material impact on the company's financial earnings and position, but it is not currently possible to estimate the amount or date. Getinge has a zero tolerance policy when it comes to contraventions of these regulations. The Group's Code of Conduct is very clear in this respect.

The EVP Sustainability, Legal & Compliance represents the Ethics & Compliance function on the Getinge Executive Team, which highlights the high priority of these issues. A training program in business ethics is provided on an ongoing basis and the aim is for all employees to undergo such training at least once a year. The regulations also apply to external distributors who sell Getinge products.

Dependence on meeting climate targets

Getinge is dependent on meeting the climate targets set to reach net zero emissions by 2050 that were approved by the SBTi. Getinge's analysis shows that the majority of emissions comes from the purchases of goods, logistics and the use of products. As a result, the company does not have full control over its emissions and cannot therefore directly control their reduction.

If Getinge does not meet its climate targets, it could have a significant negative impact on the company's reputation and operations, in addition to negative climate impacts.

In 2024, Getinge continued to focus on the actions that will be required to meet its Scope 3 emissions target (25% reduction by 2030) such as reducing air freight, improving energy efficient for products introduced to market and replacing materials with high emissions. At the same time, the company is preparing for dialog both upstream and downstream in the value chain to increase the use of renewable electricity and energy.

Strategic risks

Description Potential consequences Management
Lack of future skills Risk of dependency on key people
including lack of succession
planning and ineffective processes
to identify and spread critical
know-how within the organization.
Also the risk of being unable to
attract and retain the right talent
and skills.
A lack of future skills could lead to
higher staff turnover, operational
disruptions and damage the Getinge
brand. In the future, it may have a
negative impact on Getinge's long-term
sustainability and growth, and
ultimately affect Getinge's ability to
attract and retain talent.
Getinge is continuously improving the succession planning process to ensure the
global development of talent. Getinge is focusing on talent mobility and
knowledge sharing and strives to create a culture and leadership that attracts
both new and existing talent. Getinge's aim is to be a company where everyone
can thrive and grow.
Digitization and
innovation
Getinge's future growth depends
on successful product
development, particularly in
digitalization. Innovation is crucial
for maintaining and strengthening
the company's leading position.
Innovation efforts are costly and it is
not possible to guarantee that
developed products will be
commercially successful, which
could result in write-downs. In the
long term, the Group's market
position could be negatively affected
if Getinge is unsuccessful in this
area.
As means of maximizing the return on investments in research and development,
the Group applies a structured selection and planning process that includes
careful analyses of the market, technological progress, choice of production
method and selection of subcontractors. The actual development work is also
conducted in a structured manner and each project undergoes a number of fixed
controls. Getinge
is particularly concerned with ensuring access to the right skills, retaining key
individuals, being an attractive employer to recruit talent externally, and
identifying and developing talent within the organization.
Fragmented product
portfolio
Getinge's product portfolio
consists, to a certain extent, of a
large number of acquisitions that
were made throughout the years
within a variety of product
categories.
An offering to our customers that, in
certain parts, is too diverse could lead
to Getinge lacking the critical mass
needed to conduct fully efficient
operations in all product categories.
Efforts are being made to enhance the efficiency of the customer offering under
the framework of the ongoing strategic activities in each business area. The
introduction of the new EU Medical Device Regulation means priorities need to be
made regarding the certification of products under the new regulatory framework.
Products have been selected that, over the long term, will be a part of the
customer offering, which will lead to increased concentration as well as
streamlining.
Risks related to
intellectual property
rights
Getinge's leading positions in
many product segments are based
on patent and trademark rights,
which could lead to disputes with
competitors.
Costly disputes over intellectual
property rights could reduce the return
on investment in research and
development.
Getinge closely monitors the activities of its competitors and actively defends its
intellectual property rights through legal processes if necessary.
Financial risks Getinge is exposed to a number
of financial risks in its
operations. Financial risks
principally pertain to currency
risks, interest-rate risks, and
credit and counterparty risks.
Fluctuations in exchange rates and
interest rates and changes in
counterparties' credit profiles could
adversely affect the Group's income
statement and balance sheet.
Risk management is regulated by the finance policy adopted by the Board and a
Treasury directive decided by the Getinge Executive Team based on the finance
policy. The ultimate responsibility for managing the Group's financial risks and
developing methods and principles of financial risk management lies with the
Getinge Executive Team and the treasury function. For more detailed information
concerning these risks, refer to Note 28 of the Annual Report.
Profitability dependent
on certain products
and markets
Some products and markets
contribute more to overall
profitability.
If sales volumes in these markets
were to decrease, it could have a
negative impact on the Group's
profitability.
Getinge works actively to monitor profitability per product and market in order to
ensure profitability over time. To reduce the sensitivity of profitability, the Group
actively works on ensuring that it has the right cost level in relation to the current
price levels in the market. Getinge also works actively to establish itself in new
markets.
Transferring the
product portfolio
Long lead times in research and
development due to
comprehensive regulations and
long validation processes are
hampering rapid development to
more sustainable product and
packaging solutions. The medical
device market
is strictly regulated, partly to
ensure patient safety, which can
affect how quickly Getinge's
products can become sustainable.
If it is not possible to transfer Getinge's
product and packaging solutions to
more sustainable solutions quickly
enough, there is a risk that Getinge's
reputation and competitiveness could
deteriorate.
Getinge will always prioritize patient safety and follow applicable regulations.
Without impacting our fundamental approach, the company has expanded the
implementation of eco-design principles in its development process and has
begun to carry out life cycle assessments of its product and packaging solutions
to ensure that advances can be made when the opportunity arises.

Acquisition of assets in Getinge Aseptic Solutions LLC

In July 2024, Getinge's subsidiary Aseptic Solutions LLC acquired technology and intellectual property rights from Intact Solutions LLC, a company in Connecticut, USA. This technology makes aseptic processing simpler, safer and more efficient, and addresses the entire bioprocessing value chain. The acquisition was consolidated into the Getinge Group on the acquisition date and is included in Life Science. Getinge paid approximately SEK 128 M (USD 12 M) upon completion of the acquisition. Furthermore, additional earn-out payments may be paid between 2027 and 2030 if agreed upon regulatory and financial performance milestones are achieved, and a non-interest-bearing liability of SEK 383 M was recognized in relation to these payments. Acquired goodwill amounted to SEK 260 M, which is mainly attributable to growth opportunities and synergies within Life Science. The costs of the acquisition amounted to SEK 14 M and were charged to earnings. The acquisition did not have any material impact on Getinge's sales or earnings in the period. The acquisition analysis was not yet completed during the period.

Paragonix Technologies, Inc

In September 2024, Getinge carried out the acquisition of 100% of the shares in Paragonix Technologies, Inc., a leading US company in organ transport products and services. The company, which was founded in 2010, employs approximately 100 people and is headquartered in

Waltham, Massachusetts, USA. The acquisition was consolidated into the Getinge Group on the acquisition date and is included in Acute Care Therapies. Getinge paid approximately SEK 2,619 M (USD 253 M) in cash upon completion of the acquisition. Furthermore, additional earn-out payments may be paid between 2024 and 2026 if agreed upon regulatory and financial performance milestones are achieved. Linked to these, an additional purchase price of SEK 2,660 M was, at acquisition,recognized as a liability and is included in other non-interest-bearing liabilities in the balance sheet. The goodwill that arose on acquisition amounted to SEK 2,843 M and was primarily attributable to the value of new technology and a new future customer base. Since the acquisition, the company has contributed SEK 293 M to the Group's net sales and net earnings of SEK -44 M. If the acquisition had been carried out on January 1, 2024, the contribution to the Group's net sales would have been SEK 826 M and to net earnings SEK -115 M. The costs of the acquisition amounted to SEK 43 M and were charged to earnings. The acquisition analysis was not yet completed during the period.

During the fourth quarter of 2024, Paragonix achieved one performance-related target, which meant that a payout of SEK 166 M (USD 15 M) took place in December.

Other acquisitions

In 2024, additional purchase prices of SEK 325 M were paid regarding Talis Clinical LLC. The acquisition analyses for Healthmark Industries and High Purity New England were completed during the year, which meant that Getinge received SEK 34 M in reduced purchase price for these acquisitions. Shares were also acquired from non-controlling interests in the subsidiary Pulsion Medical Systems SE for SEK 31 M.

Contingent considerations

Getinge signed agreements on contingent considerations in connection with acquisitions of assets and subsidiaries. The liabilities for these additional purchase prices are measured at fair value through profit and loss, at Level 3 of the fair value hierachy. The additional purchase prices are contingent upon securing government approval for the acquired product development projects and earnings performance of the acquired businesses.
