Getinge — Interim / Quarterly Report 2023

Oct 23, 2023

Interim report

July – September 2023

Comments from Mattias Perjos, CEO

Higher sales, gradually strengthened margins and stable cash flows

"Getinge's sales rose organically by 5.7% in the quarter. Most of the operations in Acute Care Therapies performed positively with particularly strong development in consumables related to Cardiac Assist. Sales in Life Science were unchanged and Surgical Workflows grew in all product categories and regions. The order intake declined organically by a total of 1.9% in the quarter, which was exclusively linked to Acute Care Therapies, where we still have a large order book, which affected customers' willingness to place additional orders in the quarter. The Group's margins and cash flow were positively impacted sequentially by higher deliveries of consumables, mainly in Cardiac Assist. However, continuing low demand in products for the development and production of biopharmaceuticals, direct and indirect wage inflation as well as costs for field corrections in Cardiac Assist and managing packaging problems in Cardiopulmonary negatively impacted earnings. We are working intensively to manage these challenges and also enhance the cost efficiency of the operations. During the quarter, we reached a settlement on the previously communicated insurance disputes regarding surgical mesh products, meaning that we will receive SEK 450 M, which is reported as an item affecting comparability. Efforts to create value for our customers are the highest priority. For example, the FDA granted clearance for a new ventilator in the US market that supplements our leading offering. At the end of September, our exemption for deliveries of our important ECMO therapy consumables in the EU was extended through September 2024, providing us with a margin to have an approved packaging solution in place. After the end of the quarter, Healthmark was acquired, a leading provider of innovative instrument care and infection control consumables in the US market. Healthmark's offering is an ideal complement to our existing portfolio in Infection Control, with minimal overlap. In addition to considerably strengthening Getinge's position in the US market, the acquisition will also enable us to offer Healthmark's products to our customers globally. Overall, the acquisition is expected to contribute to structurally increased growth and profitability for the business area over time. The acquisition of High Purity New England was also completed and will be included in Life Science from Q4 this year. At the start of October, the Science Based Target initiative validated our targets for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain, which confirms that our high ambitions are feasible. I look forward to continuing our work in the quarters ahead to create value for our customers in their important work to deliver more and better care to more patients."

Net sales – bridge between Q3 2022 and Q3 2023

• The lower organic order intake for the quarter was exclusively attributable to Acute Care Therapies, with mainly Cardiac Assist contributing to the downturn. This was primarily the result of customers waiting for deliveries of previously booked balloon pumps before they place new orders.
• Life Science increased its order intake in all key categories except for Sterile Transfer. The trend in the US was strong while the order intake in China was weak.
• The order intake for Surgical Workflows increased organically in both Infection Control and Surgical Workplaces. The order intake in the US remained positive.
• Organic net sales for Acute Care Therapies increased thanks to large deliveries of consumables in Cardiac Assist. Growth was also healthy in Critical Care and Cardiac Surgery for the quarter.
• Life Science's organic net sales were unchanged with large deliveries in steam sterilizers. Sales of Sterile Transfer products for customers in the biopharma segment continued to decline. The performance in China during the quarter was especially weak, while sales to European customers increased.
• Surgical Workflows increased its net sales organically in all product categories and regions, with particularly strong growth in South-East Asia, including Japan and Australia.
• Net sales in services were strong in the quarter and combined with large deliveries of consumables in Acute Care Therapies contributed to healthy growth in recurring revenue.
• Net sales increased by SEK 666 M, corresponding to 9.6%.
• Net sales from acquisitions accounted for SEK 3 M or just under 0.1%.
• Exchange rates had an impact of SEK 271 M on sales, corresponding to 3.9%.

• Volume, mix and price affected sales by a net SEK 392 M, corresponding to 5.7%.

• Currency effects impacted adjusted gross profit by SEK 114 M and adjusted EBITA by SEK 17 M in the quarter.

• The gross margin fell as a result of such factors as temporary costs related to previously communicated challenges in Cardiac Assist and Cardiopulmonary, and lower volumes in products for customers in the biopharma segment in Life Science. The margin was also negatively impacted by a general cost increase and currency effects. This was partly offset by price increases and activities to enhance productivity.
• Adjusted operating expenses increased by 17.4%. Organically these expenses increased by 13.6%. (Read more on page 4).
• Adjusted EBITA declined by SEK 69 M compared with the year-earlier period and the margin fell by 2.4 percentage points.
• Compensation from insurance related to surgical mesh of SEK 450 M is included in other items affecting comparability.
• Net financial items amounted to SEK -88 M mainly as a result of higher net debt and higher average interest rate levels.
• Acute Care Therapies' adjusted EBITA declined by SEK 4 M mainly due previously communicated quality challenges in Cardiac Assist and Cardiopulmonary, in addition to direct and indirect wage inflation.
• Life Science's adjusted EBITA declined by SEK 44 M mainly due to lower sales in products for the biopharma segment and negative currency effects.
• Surgical Workflows' adjusted EBITA fell by SEK 2 M due to direct and indirect wage inflation and negative currency effects.

Adjusted EBITA – bridge between Q3 2022 and Q3 2023

• Adjusted operating expenses increased by 17.4%, mainly due to negative currency effects and higher costs for purchases of services, salaries and higher costs for managing challenges in Cardiac Assist and Cardiopulmonary in Acute Care Therapies. Operating expenses increased organically by 13.6%.
• 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 (translation and transaction effects) impacted adjusted gross profit by SEK 114 M compared with last year, of which SEK 172 M in translation effects and SEK -58 M in transaction effects and hedging outcome.
• The change in adjusted EBITA attributable to currency effects was related to translation effects of SEK 66 M and the net of transaction effects, hedging outcome and revaluation of operating receivables and liabilities in foreign currency of SEK -50 M.
• Free cash flow was impacted by higher operating profit for the quarter.
• The change in working capital was mainly due to changes in inventories and other current receivables.
• The financial position remains solid, with a low share of net interestbearing debt in relation to EBITDA.

Costs for R&D were almost 20% higher than in the year-earlier period as a result of higher activity, general cost increases and currency effects. Capitalized development costs increased by just over 41% compared with the year-earlier period.

Sustainability developments

Getinge's sustainability framework covers the focus areas of Quality Culture, Passionate Employees, Environmental & Social Engagement and Business Ethics & Responsible Leadership. The aim is to generate sustainable value for customers, employees and other stakeholders. At the Capital Markets Day in November 2021, targets were set for the four focus areas and Getinge reports on its quarterly performance in the relevant indicators presented below.

• The trend in the improved customer quality index was mainly due to the number of open complaints and corrective measures being at a higher level in relation to the comparative period.
• Carbon emissions, energy consumption and share of renewable energy are continuing to move in a positive direction due to ongoing improvements in the operations. Also in the quarter, another of the larger production units reported the purchase of an international renewable energy certificate (iREC) for all of 2023. Under the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG) Protocol and Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), iRECs can be used to reduce the amount of carbon emissions, which means that these can also be included in reporting As a result, the reported Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions and the share of renewable energy have changed significantly in the first three quarters of 2023 compared with the same period last year.
• After the end of the reporting period: At the start of October, SBTi's Target Validation Team announced that Getinge's near and long-term targets of reaching netzero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain were aligned with the SBTi's 1.5°C mitigation pathways for reaching net-zero by 2050 or sooner, with a 2021 base year.

Events in the business area in the quarter

• In July, Getinge received clearance from the US FDA for Servo-air® Lite, a wall gas independent non-invasive mechanical ventilator.
• In its regulatory affairs, the business area received several items of positive news during the quarter, for example, approval from TÜV SÜD (a notified body for certification services) to reinstate deliveries of Cardiosave IABP (intra-aortic balloon pumps) in Europe and an MDR certificate (Medical Device Regulation) for MEGA IAB catheters (intra-aortic balloon pumps).
• On September 29, the European Commission extended the exception that permits deliveries of HLS and PLS sets for ECMO therapy to EU countries until September 30, 2024, meaning the continuation of deliveries of these life support products to European customers until the new packaging is launched.
• The lower organic order intake for the quarter was mainly related to Cardiac Assist. This was largely the result of customers waiting for deliveries of previously booked balloon pumps before they place new orders. This pattern was seen in the order intake for all regions.
• Order bookings for the business area as a whole were just over 10% higher than last year.
• Organic net sales for Acute Care Therapies increased thanks to large deliveries of consumables in Cardiac Assist. Growth was also healthy in ventilators and cardiac surgery products in the quarter.
• Higher volumes of consumables in Cardiac Assist and a strong trend in service and spare parts contributed to an increase in recurring revenue, while low delivery volumes of hardware in Cardiac Assist and Cardiopulmonary contributed to a decrease in capital goods.
• The adjusted gross margin declined by 0.6 of a percentage point mainly due to negative mix effects and to higher costs related ongoing improvements in Cardiac Assist and Cardiopulmonary. The margin was also impacted by negative currency effects, higher costs for input goods and personnel. This was offset by price increases, strong sales mainly in consumables in Cardiac Assist and continuing productivity enhancements.
• Adjusted operating expenses increased by 15.7% as a result of negative currency effects and higher operating expenses to manage the challenges in Cardiopulmonary and Cardiac Assist as well as higher costs for purchases of services and for personnel. Adjusted operating expenses increased organically by 13.5%.
• Increased operating expenses contributed to a decline of SEK 4 M in adjusted EBITA compared with last year and the margin fell by 2.1 percentage points.
• Currency effects impacted sales by SEK 124 M, adjusted gross profit by SEK 64 M and adjusted EBITA by SEK 22 M.

Life Science

Life Science offers a comprehensive range of equipment, technical expertise and consultation to prevent contamination in pharmaceutical and medical device production and with the aim to strengthen integrity of results in biomedical research.

Order intake and net sales

• Life Science increased its order intake in all key categories except for Sterile Transfer whose customers still have sufficient numbers of DPTE®- BetaBags in stock.
• The performance was strong in Americas, particularly in the US, while order intake in China was weak.
• Life Science's organic net sales were unchanged with large deliveries in steam sterilizers. Sales of Sterile Transfer products for customers in the biopharma segment continued to decline.
• The performance in China during the quarter was especially weak, while sales to European customers increased.
• The positive trend in the service business continued. However, total recurring revenue declined as a result of lower volumes of consumables targeted to the biopharma segment.
• The adjusted gross margin fell by 4.5 percentage points as a result of a negative product mix and higher costs for input goods, personnel and currency effects. Price increases helped to mitigate these negative effects.
• Adjusted operating expenses increased by 10.1% as a result of negative currency effects and wage inflation, while rationalization measures had a positive effect. Expenses increased organically by 2.5%.
• Adjusted EBITA fell by SEK 44 M and the margin declined 5.5 percentage points because of a lower adjusted gross profit, higher adjusted operating expenses and negative currency effects.
• Currency effects impacted sales by SEK 51 M, adjusted gross profit by SEK 11 M and adjusted EBITA by SEK -5 M.

Order intake and net sales

• The order intake for Surgical Workflows increased organically in both Infection Control and Surgical Workplaces.
• The order intake remained positive in the strategically important US market. Growth was also healthy in Germany and Japan, while the order intake in Latin America declined.
• Surgical Workflows increased its net sales organically in all product categories and regions.
• The performance in South-East Asia, including Japan, was particularly strong, while sales in China fell.
• The continued strong performance in service, spare parts, consumables and the offering in Digital Health led to sales linked to recurring revenue increasing more relative to capital goods.
• The adjusted gross margin increased by 0.9 of a percentage point, primarily as a result of price increases and higher sales volumes. This was offset by higher costs for input goods and personnel and negative currency effects.
• Adjusted operating expenses increased by 21.8%, mainly due to currency effects as well as a higher level of activity in sales and higher costs for purchases of services and for personnel. Organically these expenses increased by 14.8%.
• Adjusted EBITA declined by SEK 2 M and the margin declined by 0.7 of a percentage point.
• Currency effects impacted sales by SEK 95 M, adjusted gross profit by SEK 38 M and adjusted EBITA by SEK -2 M.

Events in the business area in the quarter

After the end of the quarter, Getinge acquired 100% of the shares in the US-based Healthmark Industries Co. Inc., a leading provider of innovative instrument care and infection control consumables in the US market. This strategic step enhances Getinge's presence within sterile reprocessing in the US and facilitates a global expansion for Healthmark. Getinge's and Healthmark's product portfolios have minimal overlap – Healthmark's consumables for cleaning verification and packaging are an ideal complement to Getinge's consumables, reprocessing capital equipment, and software solutions. Globally, Healthmark employs approximately 400 employees and approximately 90% of Healthmark's sales originate from the US. In its fiscal year ending October 31, 2023, Healthmark expects nearly USD 126 M in net sales, an approximate 15% increase over fiscal year 2021/2022. The purchase price is approximately USD 320 M. The acquisition is not expected to have a material impact on Getinge's operating profit and earnings per share in 2023.

Other information

Russian invasion of Ukraine

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. The Group's sales in Russia and Ukraine in 2022 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.

German prosecutor's office closes investigation

In the Q2 report 2022, Getinge reported about an investigation related to potential violations of German medical device regulations. Five current and former Getinge employees were investigated for these potential violations by the prosecution authority in Germany. The suspicions of crime have now been dropped by the prosecution authority.

Getinge receives SEK 450 M after settlement with insurance company

On September 27, Getinge signed settlements with Trygg-Hansa Försäkring filial, Swedish branch of Tryg Forsikring A/S, and If Skadeförsäkringar AB (publ), related to insurance compensation for product liability claims regarding surgical mesh products. The settlement compensation amounts in total to SEK 450 M, of which SEK 250 M was paid to Getinge at the end of September and the remainder was paid at the start of October.

Changes in the executive management team

In September, Jeanette Hedén Carlsson announced that she had decided to resign after 6 years as Executive Vice President, Brand & Communication, and member of Group Management. The process of recruiting a successor began immediately.

Events after the end of the reporting period

Completed acquisitions

Two acquisitions were completed after the end of the quarter, which are presented on pages 7 and 8.

Validation of sustainability targets

At the start of October, SBTi's Target Validation Team announced that Getinge's near and long-term targets of reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain were aligned with the SBTi's 1.5°C mitigation pathways for reaching net-zero by 2050 or sooner, with a 2021 base year.

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 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.

Risk management

Getinge's primary risks

	Description	Potential consequences	Management
External shocks, such as geopolitical risks, natural disasters, terrorism, pandemics, etc.	These are often quickly escalating situations that affect large parts of the world, a country, a region or a specific site.	The primary consequence of this type of risk is that employees could be injured. There is also the risk of business interruptions that could have a negative impact on sales and earnings.	Active business intelligence can detect some of these risks at an early stage and the Group will then have the opportunity to adapt to the new situation. The process of further enhancing the Group's work on continuity risks continue in 2022. As part of this process, scenarios based on external shocks will also be included in the risks that Getinge proactively works on.
			On February 24, 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine. The circumstances for conducting operations in the country have gradually deteriorated and, in financial terms, the continuing war may have a negative impact on the development of the Group's earnings and position. However, it is not possible at the current time to assess the direct long-term consequences.
Quality risks from a regulatory perspective	Significant parts of Getinge's product range are covered by legislation stipulating extensive 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 Compliance, Regulatory & Medical Affairs function has a representative in the Getinge Executive Team and also a representative on the management teams of each business area, and the function is represented in all R&D and production units. In addition, Getinge's sales force and service technicians receive relevant quality and regulatory training every other year to renew their certification. This is a requirement for representing Getinge.
			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. In total, the Group allocates significant resources to quality and regulatory matters in order to best manage this risk exposure, and quality is the overall priority in the Group's strategy.
			In the Q2 report 2022, Getinge reported about an investigation related to potential violations of German medical device regulations. Five current and former Getinge employees were investigated for these potential violations by the prosecution authority in Germany. All suspicions of crime have now been dropped, both for the individual employees as well as the company, by the prosecution authority.
			As previously reported in the first quarter of 2023, the notifying body decided to suspend the CE certificate for Getinge's HLS and PLS set for ECMO therapy and for Getinge's intra-aortic balloon pumps. As a result, the company initiated corrective actions to regain the CE certificate for these products. On June 19, 2023, Getinge announced additional quality challenges related to both of these products, which had a negative impact on sales and earnings for the quarter. These challenges are expected to be handled by the end of 2023-H1 2024, followed by an application for regulatory approval where necessary. However, unforeseen events may impact the above-mentioned timelines.
Product quality from a customer perspective	In certain cases, Getinge's products do not meet customer expectations.	Customers experiencing shortcomings in Getinge's product quality could choose other suppliers. This could entail a risk of lower sales and lower profitability over time.	Getinge applies a far-reaching quality process that aims to ensure a high and even level of quality to meet customers' legitimately high requirements. This is an ongoing process that results in continuous improvements. When quality fails, it is important to rapidly bring the right equipment on site to rectify the fault during the first service visit. Getinge closely monitors the "first time fix" factor of its services operations and works extensively to make improvements related to such faults or shortcomings.
Interruptions in supply chains / dependence on external suppliers	External suppliers that deliver critical components to the Group are a highly important part of Getinge's manufacturing process. Production disruptions may arise if these components are not supplied on schedule.	One of the potential consequences of this is that life saving equipment may not be delivered to customers as required for maintaining critical healthcare.	Getinge works actively to monitor critical deliveries. This process is initiated when the partnership is established and is then continuously monitored. The purchasing organization has tools for evaluating risk and for 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 an important part of activities related to business continuity risks. See "Business interruptions".
Digitization and innovation	Getinge's future growth depends on the company's ability to develop new and successful products, particularly in the area of digitization. Getinge's ability to innovate is a very important factor in retaining and establishing leading positions for the Group's product segments.	Innovation efforts are costly and it is not possible to guarantee that developed products will be commercially successful, which could result in impairment. In the long term, the Group's position in the market 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. The Group 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 efficiency 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.

Other risks of major importance

	Description	Potential consequences	Management
Risks related to healthcare reimbursement systems	Political decisions can change the conditions for healthcare through changed reimbursement models for healthcare providers.	Changes to the healthcare reimbursement system can have a major impact on individual markets by reducing or deferring grants.	It is difficult to influence this risk since these decisions are outside the Group's control but the risk is limited by Getinge being active in a large number of markets.
	Product liability risks Healthcare suppliers run a risk, like other players 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	The best 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.
		liability and other claims.	The settlement for surgical mesh implants, which Getinge announced previously, has been completed and the majority of the settlement amount was paid in the first quarter of 2023.
Risks related to intellectual property rights	Getinge's leading positions in many of the Group's product segments are based on patent and trademark rights. These rights could lead to disputes with competitors.	Getinge invests significant resources in product development that results in patent rights. There is a risk that the Group will be involved in costly disputes concerning such rights and thus a risk that invested resources will not generate the expected return if such a dispute is lost.	To secure returns on these investments, Getinge actively upholds its rights and monitors competitors' activities closely. If required, Getinge will protect its intellectual property rights through legal processes.
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.
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.	Leaks of personal data could lead to high fines. Hacking into IT systems could lead to business interruptions. A loss of sensitive information may adversely affect confidence in the company.	The Group's IT structure is to be considered to be decentralized, which reduces the consequence of any unauthorized access. The Group has improved user authentication during the year to prevent hacking. This work will continue in the year ahead. The Group also closely monitors critical systems to prevent hacking.
Deficiencies in cyber security	Security deficiencies in the Group's digital offering, such as connected machines at customer sites and stricter legal requirements for processing personal data.	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 to ensure the integrity of its equipment that is connected to the Internet. Comprehensive access testing and other measures are carried out before these solutions are offered to the Group's customers.
Business interruptions	Unforeseen and sudden events, such as natural disasters, fires, etc. that result in disruptions to production or the supply chain.	Potential interruptions and higher costs in the supply chain and production could lead to more costly or delayed deliveries or, in a worst case scenario, non-delivery to Getinge's customers. Such a situation risks negative consequences for the Group's earnings.	There is a risk of temporary business interruptions linked to a further deterioration in access to key components such as semiconductors as a result of the pandemic and uncertain global security situation. The Group continuously works on claims prevention to ensure a high level of availability and delivery reliability. External experts inspect the Group's production units on a regular basis to identify and take action on potential interruption risks, following a Group-wide standard. The process of further improving the Group's business continuity will continue in 2023.
Profitability dependent on certain products and markets	In certain cases, a relatively large share of the total profitability of a product is linked to shares in a certain market.	The consequence of such a situation is that profitability can be adversely affected if sales volumes were to decline due to a changed competitive situation in the market.	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.
New competitors and new technology	Certain markets and product segments have niche players who offer solutions outside customary market behavior.	These competitors could capture market shares from more established companies such as Getinge, resulting in a negative effect on Getinge's sales and earnings.	Getinge's long-term strategy includes active business intelligence of the competitive landscape to react to this type of competitors. The industry is also considered to have high barriers to entry since medical devices are subject to extensive regulatory requirements.
Laws and regulations mainly on business ethics	Breaches of competition law, anti-corruption, data privacy (such as GDPR) or trade restrictions.	Could lead to fines or penalties in one or more markets 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 in the sale of medical devices in Brazil. This process continued in 2023 and is ongoing. 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 Ethics & Compliance corporate function was expanded in recent years and the head of the department has been a member of the Getinge Executive Team since 2020 to further demonstrate how highly the organization prioritizes these issues. A comprehensive 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. Getinge's business ethics regulations also apply to external distributors who sell Getinge's products in a large number of countries in which the Group does not

have its own presence.

Assurance

The Board of Directors and CEO assure that the interim report provides a true and fair review of the Parent Company and the Group's operations, position and earnings and describes the material risks and uncertainties faced by the Parent Company and the Group.

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 2023 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.
