Interim report

GETINGE *

January - September 2020

Comments from Mattias Perjos, President & CEO

"Extraordinary efforts when they were needed the most"

"We are continuing to deepen our partnerships with hospitals and pharmaceutical companies around the world to combat COVID-19 and this quarter we delivered more advanced ICU ventilators than we normally do in a whole intake for ventilators also increased in the third quarter, but at a less spectacular level and we will adjust capacity accordingly. We are continuing to see strong sales in ECMO therapy products for hospitals and Sterile Transfer products for the pharmaceutical industry. Our offering is also creating a favorable outlook for the future. The results of an independent multi-center trial were published that ventilator time can be reduced by almost 35% using our unique NAVA technology. This has obvious advantages for patients, but also for the health care system due to reduced length of treatment and lower overall cost.

Getinge's sales increased organically by 33.4% and the order intake fell by 5.3% in the quarter. Parts of our business continue to be negatively affected by COVID-19. However, moving forward we see the nedical care that is being postponed in connection with COVID-19, even though it's hard to determine exactly when, and to what extent, this can take place. Surgical Workflows is the business area that was hardest hit in terms of orders and we believe that we will not see a lasting turnaround until the second half of 2021, given the longer lead times in this business. We are continuing with our long term improvements and to implement our strategy and our new work methods to create added value for our customers and enhance our own productivity, which in combination with higher sales volumes contributed to further strengthening of the margins and cash flow. We also announced in the quarter that Getinge will be CO2 neutral by 2025, which will be achieved by a combination of activities, such as switching to renewable energy sources, new virtual ways of conducting meetings, smarter logistics and sustainable product development. I would again like to thank and my coworkers for your extraordinary efforts when they were needed the most. I look forward to work with you!"

• The organic order intake declined after a period of strong growth earlier in the year in Critical Care, which is part of Acute Care Therapies.
• The order intake in most other parts of Acute Care Therapies and Surgical Workflows is increasing sequentially but is still not in line with the preceding year, as a result of postponed elective health care.
• The organic order intake declined marginally in Life Science, related to capital goods.

• The very strong growth in Acute Care Therapies was attributable to advanced ICU ventilators and ECMO therapy products. In addition, sales increased-albeit marginally - in products for planned vascular procedures.

• . Net sales in Life Science were positively impacted by continued high sales in Sterile Transfer and the recovery in sterilizers in line with installation being carried out where possible.
• . Net sales in Surgical Workflows were negatively affected by lower order intake in prior quarters. Continued high activity in service, spare parts and consumables helped offset the negative effect.
• Net sales increased by SEK 1,740 M, corresponding to 27.9%.
• Acquired operations represented growth of SEK 90 M, corresponding to 1.4%.
• Exchange rates had a negative impact of SEK 433 M on sales, corresponding to almost 6.9%.
• Volume, mix and other items positively affected sales by SEK 2,083 M, corresponding to an organic growth of 33.4%.

• Adjusted operating expenses declined by 7.1%, compared with Q3 2019, and fell organically by 0.7%.
• Adjusted EBITA rose by SEK 1,352 M year-on-year and the margin increased by 14.5 percentage points to 25.4%.

• Net financial items improved SEK 46 M as a result of lower net debt and interest expenses.

• Adjusted gross profit was negatively impacted by translation effects of SEK 165 M and transaction effects and hedging outcome of SEK 52 M.
• Adjusted EBITA was negatively impacted by translation effects of SEK 41 M and positively by the net of transaction effects, hedging outcome and revaluation of operating receivables and liabilities of SEK 11 M.

Events in the business area

• · The US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) gave 510(k) clearance for Getinge's Flow-e and Flow-c Anesthesia Systems which complete the portfolio of Flow anesthesia machines and offers innovative solutions with personalized anesthesia for high aquity patients in the US marketplace. In addition, FDA gave a 510(k) clearance for the Servo-air ventilator in the US.
• · The modern ICU uses a large number of medical devices that generate independent alarms. Without coordination, this can result in a cacophony of alarms causing unnecessary anxiety for clinicians and patients. In September, Getinge showcased the concept "Quiet ICU" together with other leading industry partners, with groundbreaking solutions expected to reach the health care market in the years to come.
• A large, independent multi-center trial, called NAVIATOR, shows that Getinge's patented Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NAVA) ventilation mode shortens time of mechanical ventilation by almost 35% for adult Intensive Care Units patients. The study showed that through the use of NAVA, the days on mechanical ventilation could be reduced from 12 to 8 days, which is quite a remarkable improvement with many positive consequences. Fewer days in the ICU also translates to a significantly improved health economy, enabling hospitals to free up precious ICU beds and resources.
• Continued growth in advanced ICU ventilators, but at a lower level.
• The order intake in products for cardiovascular procedures increased sequentially but did not reach last year's level for the quarter as a whole.
• Intense efforts to deliver ventilators and ECMO products to hospitals contributed to a sharp increase in sales.
• Deliveries of products for planned vascular surgery increased marginally. while sales of products for cardiac surgery remained lower than the year-earlier period.
• Sales of capital goods increased significantly as a result of large deliveries of ventilators.
• Disruntions to production and logistics had a limited impact on deliveries in the quarter.
• The adjusted gross margin rose 4.9 percentage points in relation to the year-earlier quarter, primarily as a result of volumes effects from the sharp increase in sales of ventilators and ECMO products and increased productivity due to previously implemented rationalizations.
• Adjusted operating expenses fell by 4.0%. Adjusted operating expenses increased organically by 5.5%. mainly due to expenses resulting from the sales increase. Costs for R&D and quality rose slightly year on year.
• · Acute Care Therapies increased its adjusted EBITA by SEK 1,370 M and the margin improved by 19.4 percentage points, due to a sharp increase in sales volumes.
• Currency effects impacted sales by SEK -293 M, adjusted gross profit by SEK -155 M and adjusted EBITA by SEK -36 M.

Events in the business area

• The extensive number of initiatives to develop vaccines against COVID-19 around the world are contributing to increased interest in Beta Bags, which is part of Getinge's Sterile Transfer offering. Getinge is in negotiations with several pharmaceutical companies working to develop vaccines for this purpose. However, the strong increase in sales of Beta Bags so far this year is mainly due to increased demand for other types of biopharmaceuticals.
• The integration of Applikon, which was acquired in January 2020, follows the plan and the order intake increases sequentially. Applikon offers bioreactors and systems for advanced development and production of biopharmaceutical drugs such as vaccines.
• In the quarter, GEW 101210 FT cGMP, a cGMP* compatible washer for use in pharmaceutical production, was launched. It is developed together with our users to secure optimized and pre-configured functionality and shortened delivery time, which is often a critical parameter for our customers. The initial reception has been very positive.

*Current Good Manufacturing Practice regulations enforced by the FDA and other regulatory bodies. cGMPs provide for systems that assure proper design, monitoring, and control of manufacturing processes and facilities.

• The order intake increased organically in Sterile Transfer and washer-disinfectors, while other product segments did not reach last year's levels.
• The positive trend in Americas in Q2 continued in Q3 2020.
• · Net sales increased organically in all regions and product categories due to large deliveries, some of which were earlier than scheduled
• Growth was particularly high in sterilizers since installations could be resumed on a larger scale in the quarter, and in Sterile Transfer for which growth from prior quarters was further strengthened.
• The adjusted gross margin strengthened by 2.2 percentage points, primarily as a result of higher sales volumes, a favorable product mix and increased productivity.
• · Adjusted operating expenses increased by 19.7%, mainly due to acquisitions. Expenses increased organically by 2.2%.
• Life Science's adjusted EBITA rose by SEK 83 M and the margin increased by 7.8 percentage points, mainly due to higher volumes and mix effects.
• Currency effects impacted sales by SEK -28 M, adjusted gross profit by SEK -8 M and adjusted EBITA by SEK +6 M.

Surgical Workflows

Surgical Workflows offers products and solutions to serve as an end-to-end partner for optimizing the quality, safety and capacity usage of the sterile supply departments and operating rooms. The addressable market, excluding the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, amounts to SEK 62 billion with expected organic growth of 2-4% per year.

Events in the business area

• · In July, Getinge introduced Torin OptimalQ, an efficient planning tool to bring down surgery backlogs which is a worldwide priority due to COVID-19. Torin OptimalQ is a cloud-based software solution that calculates the best way to prioritize the surgery schedule per operating room, week or service.
• The newly launched horizontal ceiling supply unit, Maquet Moduevo Bridge, is equipped with Getinge's latest light innovation - the Somnus light. It helps critical care patients sleep better by keeping the biological clock in sync through artificial light.
• Continued lower order intake in capital goods in all regions, primarily as a result of COVID-19.
• The order intake in the smallest product category, Integrated Workflow Solutions, increased during the quarter.
• The lower order intake in Q1 and Q2 had a significant impact on the organic net sales trend for this quarter.
• Invoicing for both of the larger product categories, Infection Control and Surgical Workplaces, declined significantly.
• · Sales for Integrated Workflow Solutions, which offers IT systems for greater control and productivity, fared well year on year.
• Sales of services, spare parts and consumables were also relatively high compared with Q3 2019.
• The adjusted gross margin fell by 4.3 percentage points mainly as a result of lower sales, under absorption in production and negative currency effects. Enhanced productivity helped to slightly soften the negative effect.
• Adjusted operating expenses declined by 16.4% and fell organically by 10.2%, due to rationalizations combined with new work methods as a result of COVID-19.
• Surgical Workflows' adjusted EBITA fell by SEK 109 M compared with Q3 2019 and the margin declined by 4.8 percentage points as a result of lower sales volumes.
• Currency effects impacted sales by SEK -112 M, adjusted gross profit by SEK -55 M and adjusted EBITA by SEK -3 M.

Other information

Financial impact of COVID-19

The outbreak of COVID-19 was characterized by the WHO as a pandemic on March 11, 2020. In this situation, Getinge is prioritizing the health and safety of its employees and is taking measures to limit the spread of the virus by following the instructions of the relevant authorities. In addition, Getinge has made considerable efforts to enhance production capacity for ventilators and safeguard production of critical and life support products. Getinge has also worked intensively together with hospitals and pharmaceutical companies around the world to combat COVID-19.

The order intake for the Acute Care Therapies business area declined organically by 0.4% in the third quarter. The order intake for ventilators increased year on year, but at a lower level than in the first and second quarters. Demand declined for the other product segments in the business area since non-urgent operations were postponed. The order intake in products for cardiovascular procedures recovered somewhat and increased sequentially but did not reach last year's level for the quarter as a whole. In other parts of the operations, mainly Surgical Workflows was negatively affected by the economic downturn resulting from the pandemic, with order intake for this business area falling organically by 14.5%. The order intake for the Life Science business area declined organically by 0.2%.

The Group's sales and earnings improved as a result of the virus and the increase in the order intake for ventilators and cardiopulmonary products in the first and second quarters could be increasingly converted to net sales in the third quarter. It has been possible to continue work on the installation and servicing of products, and this was not negatively affected by restrictions in key markets. Minor disruptions occurred in the production operations in the form of sick leave among employees and problems with deliveries of components, which were possible to resolve without any significantly negative consequences arising. The sharp increase in activity in the areas of Acute Care Therapies that are directly linked to treating patients with COVID-19 contributed to the improvement in sales and earnings for the business area despite a decline in other product segments. Sales and earnings fell in Surgical Workflows due to a lower level of activity in the areas of health care that are not related to the outbreak of the virus. Sales and earnings for Life Science were not impacted by the outbreak of the virus to any significant extent.

Although few signs currently suggest this, it cannot be ruled out that the situation regarding the pandemic could result in negative financial effects in the future due to lower demand, a shortage of components and disruptions to production. Installation and service of products at hospitals and care facilities could also be limited by restrictions to reduce the spread of the virus. Combined with a potential inventory build-up and impaired payment discipline among the Group's customers, this could negatively impact the Group's cash flow. Accordingly, Getinge is closely monitoring developments and is continuously evaluating the operational and financial effects. Some minor measures to adjust costs were carried out (as presented in the interim report for the second quarter of 2020) and plans have been made to further reduce costs if necessary. In addition, the sharp increase in ventilator production capacity may need to be adjusted as demand normalizes.

Since there is currently significant uncertainty regarding the future course of events, Getinge does not provide a forecast for organic sales growth for the full-year 2020. The year-end report for 2019 stated that organic sales growth for 2020 was expected to amount to 2-4%.

	Update regarding Consent Decree with the FDA

The Consent Decree with the FDA was signed in February 2015 and originally encompassed a total of four production units in the US and Germany. Improvement plans for the identified corrections have been prepared for each unit. Such identified corrections have been completed at the two production units in the US. This work is expected to continue until 2021 at Hechingen. In autumn 2018 and the start of 2019, Getinge's production units in Fairfield and Mahwah received warning letters from the FDA. The reason for the warning letters was routine inspections performed by the FDA at these production units in 2018. The FDA's observations and opinions pertain to procedures and processes linked to demands for supplier checks, processes for the approval of design changes and incident reporting. The same observations were identified by Getinge during internal inspections in the fourth quarter of 2017. The local organization has since worked to correct the shortcomings in the quality management system. Getinge has submitted an action plan, including activities and a related schedule, to the FDA and improvements are proceeding according to plan.

Risk management1)

Health care reimbursement system

Political decisions represent the single greatest market risk to Getinge Group. Changes to the health care reimbursement system can have a major impact on individual markets by reducing or deferring grants. This risk is limited by Getinge being active in a large number of geographical markets.

Customers

Activities conducted by Getinge's customers are generally financed directly by public funds. The ability to pay is usually very solid, although payment behavior can vary between different countries. All transactions outside the OECD area are covered by payment guarantees, unless the customer's ability to pay is well documented.

Authorities and control bodies

Parts of Getinge's product range are covered by legislation stipulating rigorous assessments, quality control and documentation. It cannot be ruled out that Getinge's operations, financial position and earnings may be negatively impacted in the future by difficulties in complying with current regulations and requirements of authorities and control bodies or changes to such regulations and requirements. To limit these risks to the greatest possible extent, Getinge conducts extensive work focused on quality and regulatory issues. The Group-wide quality and regulatory compliance function has, besides a representative in the executive management team, a representative on the management teams of each business area, and the function is represented in all R&D and production units. The majority of the Group's production facilities are certified according to the medical device quality standard ISO 13485 and/or the general quality standard ISO 9001. Getinge is also, and may become in the future, involved in government investigations, disputes and similar proceedings within the framework of its other business operations concerning such issues as the environment, tax and competition. Since Getinge operates in a global environment, the company is also exposed to local business risks, such as corruption and restrictions on trade. To minimize the risk of being subject to such investigations, disputes and proceedings, Getinge works actively on developing, implementing and maintaining policies and systems for ensuring compliance with applicable rules and regulations. The overall responsibility for identifying and addressing potential risk areas lies with the Getinge Team and the business operations. The Compliance and the Internal Audit functions assist with support and ongoing monitoring as well as investigations and internal auditing.

¹⁾ For information regarding risks related to COVID-19 and the ongoing pandemic, refer to the section on "Financial impact of COVID-19" on page 8.

Research and development

Getinge's future growth also depends on the company's ability to develop new and successful products. Research and development efforts are costly and it is impossible to guarantee that developed products will be commercially successful. As a means of maximizing the return on investments in research and development efforts, 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 control points.

Product liability and damage claims

Health care suppliers run a risk, like other players in the health care industry, of being subject to product liability and other legal claims can involve large amounts and significant legal expenses. Getinge cannot provide any guarantees that its operations will not be subject to compensation claims. Getinge carries the customary indemnity and product liability insurance, but there is a risk that Getinge's insurance coverage may not fully cover product liability and other claims.

Protection of intellectual property rights

Getinge is a market leader in the areas in which it operates and invests significant amounts in product development. To secure returns on these investments, Getinge actively upholds its rights and monitors competitors' activities closely. There is the risk when new products are developed that other companies may claim a patent infringement, which could result in disputes. If required, Getinge will protect its intellectual property rights through legal processes.

Financial risk management

Getinge is exposed to a number of financial risks in its operations. Financial risks principally pertain to risks related to currency risks, interest-rate risks, and credit and counterparty risks. 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 the Group's Annual Report. The Group has a number of participations in foreign operations whose net assets are exposed to currency risks. Currency exposure that arises from net assets in the Group's foreign operations is primarily managed by borrowing in said foreign currency.

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 consumables 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 Arjo, which was distributed to shareholders in December 2017, for 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.

Getinge's financial targets

• · Average annual organic growth in net sales: 2-4%
• •
• · Getinge's dividend policy is to pay dividends of 30-50% of net profit to shareholders.

AUDITOR'S REPORT

INTERIM REPORT PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH IAS 34 AND CHAPTER 9 OF THE SWEDISH ANNUAL ACCOUNTS ACT

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Getinge AB (publ) as of 30 September 2020 and the nine-month period then ended. The board of directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, ISA, and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Group, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Parent Company.

On January 3, 2020, the acquisition of 100 percent of Applikon Biotechnology BV was completed. The acquired company has annual sales of approximately SEK 400 M and 180 employees. The purchase price paid amounted to SEK 839 M. In addition, a maximum of EUR 60 M may be paid in so-called additional purchase prices in 2021-2022 if certain financial targets are met. Acquisition expenses amounted to SEK 24 M, of which SEK 23 M was charged to profit for 2019. The goodwill that arose in connection has not been finaly determined since the acquisition analysis is still preliminary but is expected to amount to SEK 457 M, and is primarily attributable to strategic advantages in the form of growth opportunities and a broader product range. After the acquisition, the company generated sales of SEK 248 M and EBTA of SEK 12 M.

Additional purchase prices for the acquisition of Simm Company and Surgeon Aids

In the second quarter of 2020, an additional purchase price of SEK 6 M was paid for the Thai company Simm Company and Surgeon Aids, which was completed in 2017.
