interim report january-september 2012 Vitrolife AB (publ)
Vitrolife is a global biotechnology/medical device Group that works in the areas of Fertility and Transplantation. The Fertility product area works with nutrient solutions (media), cryopreservation products and advanced consumable instruments such as needles and pipettes, for the treatment of human infertility. Work is also carried out to enable the use and handling of stem cells for therapeutic purposes. The Transplantation product area works with solutions and systems for assessing and preserving organs outside the body, so as to be able to select usable organs and keep them in optimal condition pending transplantation.
Vitrolife today has approximately 220 employees and the company's products are sold in almost 90 markets. The company is headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden, and there are also offices in USA, Australia, France, Italy, United Kingdom, China and Japan.

CEO's comments
The third quarter developed well in terms of sales. The Fertility area increased by 16% and Transplantation by 23% measured in local currency. Within Fertility the
trend is continuing of Asia growing very strongly, driven by growth in China, Japan and India. America and most countries in northern Europe display good underlying growth at the same time as certain countries, above all in southern Europe, display low or negative growth due to the difficult economic situation, which can be seen in, amongst other things, cost cutting within healthcare and private payers waiting with their treatment.
At the end of June Vitrolife entered into an agreement to acquire Cryo Management Ltd, one of the world's leading players within time-lapse for IVF, based in Hungary. Vitrolife completed the acquisition after closing day and I am very pleased to be able to welcome the co-workers at Cryo to the Vitrolife Group. During the quarter parts of Vitrolife's sales force and distributors have undergone training in the company's time-lapse technology, Primo Vision, whereby the embryo can be cultivated in a stressfree environment and evaluated on an objective basis. Our joint focus in the time ahead is on marketing and sales in the form of product demonstrations and customer evaluations. There is great interest in the market for timelapse products, and we therefore confidently look forward to beginning marketing of the products.
In September an Extraordinary General Meeting of the shareholders of Vitrolife adopted the Board's proposal to distribute Vitrolife's transplantation business to the shareholders by distributing the shares in Vitrolife's subsidiary Xvivo Perfusion AB in accordance with "Lex Asea". The record day was October 1. The resolution means that in the future the transplantation business will be reported by Xvivo Perfusion AB, whose share is listed on NASDAQ OMX First North. In this interim report Vitrolife therefore only comments on historical events regarding Transplantation and refers to Xvivo Perfusion AB for future prospects and future interim reports.
Vitrolife's Board set up new financial objectives for Vitrolife after the spin-off. These can be summarized as creating profitable growth. The focus will be on refining what we offer to our customers and being a leading supplier within the IVF area, as well as ensuring that the internal processes are run as efficiently as possible.

Europa / Mellanöstern Nord- och Sydamerika Övriga världen 2009 Operating income (EBIT) for the period January – September amounted to SEK 38 (19) million. The operating margin was 14 (8) percent. The gross margin was 66 (65) percent. The increase was generated primarily by a changed product mix in America as a result of the phasing out of certain low-margin products that accompanied the acquisition of Conception Technologies and the focusing of sales on high margin products. Selling expenses amounted to 28 (30) percent of sales. The decrease is primarily due to the activity control that was exercised during the period. Administrative expenses amounted to 13 (13) percent of sales. One-time expenses of SEK 1 million related to the acquisition of Cryo Management Ltd were charged to the period. R&D costs amounted to 11 (13) percent of sales. The decrease is primarily due to economies of scale and to changed stem-cell development. Depreciation and amortization of SEK 13 (12) million were charged to the period.
FSG AO After closing day Vitrolife completed the acquisition of all the shares in Cryo Management Ltd, one of the world's leading players within time-lapse for IVF. They have developed Primo Vision time-lapse, a system for the monitoring of embryos. Through the acquisition Vitrolife gains access to a product portfolio in the form of successful time-lapse products for IVF and increased knowledge within IVF technology and embryo development. Cryo Management Ltd and its subsidiary Cryo Innovation Ltd are located in Budapest, Hungary. The company was formed in 2005, and has approximately 20 employees and budgeted sales
of approximately EUR 2 million for 2012. The company has successfully developed, produced and marketed time-lapse products, primarily for the IVF market. The purchase sum amounted to approximately EUR 5 million, which can be increased to EUR 9 million upon the fulfilment of defined objectives primarily related to sales during the period 2013 to 2015. The fixed purchase sum is financed by a corporate acquisition loan of EUR 3 million, EUR 0.6 million from Vitrolife's cash reserves and by payment of EUR 1.4 million in newly issued shares. Vitrolife anticipates that the acquisition will have a marginally negative effect on earnings per share for 2012 due to increased marketing activities and transaction expenses. It is estimated that the business will make a positive contribution as from 2013.
Sales of stem-cell products during the third quarter amounted to SEK 0.1 (0.1) million. Sales for the year amounted to SEK 0.3 (0.3) million. During the third quarter Vitrolife entered into an agreement with amongst others Karolinska University Hospital regarding inclusion in a project to develop methods and devices to speed up the implementation of cell therapy in established forms of treatment. Within the framework of the project Vitrolife will collaborate with Karolinska University Hospital and Karolinska Institutet in the development of a culture medium for natural killer cells which will be used in clinical trials within cell therapy. The project will be partly financed by Vinnova. The project with Karolinska University Hospital is in line with the reworked strategy for Vitrolife's stem cell area. The reworked strategy may be summarized as taking advantage to a greater extent than previously of the synergies with the Fertility area, opening up for products outside the area of human embryonic stem cells and selling medium products in cooperation with other life science companies.

When STEEN Solution™ becomes more established in the clinics, the potential for further sales growth will increase for all products within the transplantation area. The sales potential for this new series of products in the short to medium term is greatest in the North American market once sales approval has been given by the authorities. At the beginning of the third quarter an application for approval of STEEN Solution™ in the USA was submitted to the US Food and Drug Administration, FDA. A total of almost 200 lung transplants have been performed in Europe and North America using the STEEN Solution™ method. Interest in and acceptance of the method continue to increase among internationally leading researchers and clinics. Research is also ongoing to use the technology in other organs and applications, such as the liver.

Excluding one-time expenses, administrative expenses amounted to 21 (8) percent of sales. R&D costs amounted to 14 (9) percent of sales.

Depreciation and amortization of SEK 1 (0) million were charged to the period.
Spin-off of the transplantation business
At the Extraordinary General Meeting of shareholders of Vitrolife held on September 24 a resolution was adopted to spin off Vitrolife's transplantation business, which is run in
the subsidiary Xvivo Perfusion AB ("Xvivo") and its subsidiary, through distribution of the shares in Xvivo in accordance with "Lex Asea". The resolution meant that Vitrolife shareholders automatically received one share in Xvivo for each Vitrolife share that was owned. The distribution did not result in any tax effect for the present shareholders of Vitrolife as long as they remained as owners of Xvivo. Allotment of the cost of acquisition for the shares will be decided by the Swedish Tax Agency and will be published on Vitrolife's and Xvivo's websites. The last day for trade in Vitrolife shares with entitlement to distribution of shares in Xvivo was September 26. The record day was October 1. Trade in Xvivo shares on NASDAQ OMX First North was begun on October 8.
In accordance with the accounting rules of IFRS the market value of the Xvivo shares upon listing on NASDAQ OMX First North is reported as a liability to the shareholders in this report as the resolution to distribute Xvivo had been adopted but not implemented at closing day. This has the effect that equity in the company is negative at closing day. During the fourth quarter the distribution of Xvivo will be recorded in Vitrolife. The distribution will mean a non-taxable capital gain in the Vitrolife Group, which is the difference between the market value of Xvivo upon listing and the recorded value of Xvivo's net assets in the Vitrolife Group. After the distribution is reported in the fourth quarter the Group's equity will turn positive again.
Prospects for 2012
Continuing operations
As the standard of living rises in several developing countries, more and more people choose to wait before they have children. This trend, which has existed in the West for decades, leads to reduced fertility, which in turn drives the fertility treatment market. The same trend is developing in the new emerging countries China and India, where the demand for this treatment is increasing very rapidly. Still only a few percent of all the couples in the world who are infertile are treated using IVF. Vitrolife therefore anticipates a constantly expanding market which in monetary terms is expected to grow by 5–10 percent per year in the foreseeable future. In several of the more mature markets in Europe, however, increased price competition and low or negative growth can be seen at present as a result of the difficult economic situation. This will probably characterize the development of these markets during the rest of the year.
The focus for the year within Vitrolife's product area Fertility will be on the external processes within marketing and sales, primarily in the growth markets. The company continues to work on further refining and communicating the concept of best partner and total supplier to the customers. Work is also being done to secure that the internal processes are run in a rational and cost-effective way.
No prospects are stated for the Transplantation business area due to the distribution of the business area at October 1. For information concerning future prospects, please refer to Xvivo Perfusion AB.

Organization and personnel
During the first nine months the average number of employees was 212 (212), of whom 119 (122) were women and 93 (90) were men. Of these 132 (131) people were employed in Sweden, 62 (65) in the USA and 18 (16) in the rest of the world. The number of people employed in the Group at the end of the period was 216 (223).
Information on transactions with related parties
No transactions that have substantially affected the company's results and financial position have been carried out with related parties during the period. For information on related parties, see the Annual Report for 2011, note 27.
Dividend
It was decided at the Annual General Meeting on April 19 that the proposed dividend of SEK 0.60 per share would be paid to the shareholders. Payment of the dividend took place on April 24, 2012.
Risk management
Vitrolife is constantly working to identify, evaluate and manage risks in different systems and processes. During 2010 Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) was introduced, a system which aims to ensure that identified risks are handled in a systematic way. Risk analyses are performed continuously with regard to the company's normal business activities and also in connection with activities that are outside Vitrolife's regular quality system. In this way the company can have a high rate of development and at the same time be aware of both the opportunities and risks.
The most important strategic and operative risks regarding Vitrolife's business and field are described in detail in the Report of the Board of Directors in the Annual Report for 2011. These are primarily constituted by the company's market investments, product development investments, currency risks and legal risks.
The company's management of risks is also described in the Corporate Governance Report in the same Annual Report under the heading "Internal Control Report". The same applies to the Group's management of financial risks, which are described in the Annual Report for 2011, note 24. The risks reported as they are described in the Annual Report for 2011 are assessed to be essentially unchanged for 2012.
Seasonal effects
Vitrolife's sales are affected relatively marginally by seasonal effects. The first half of the year is generally somewhat stronger than the second half and sales in the first quarter are generally the strongest of all, as these are not usually affected by holiday periods. There is usually a downturn in orders before holiday periods, primarily of fertility media. As these have a relatively short shelf life the fertility clinics minimize their stocks before they close for the holiday, so as not to risk having to scrap products.
Events after the end of the period
Vitrolife completed the acquisition of Cryo Management Ltd, one of the world's leading players within time-lapse for IVF.
Vitrolife distributed the shares in the subsidiary Xvivo Perfusion AB and its subsidiary to the shareholders.
Vitrolife's Board set new financial objectives for the company after distribution of the transplantation business.

Review report
Auditor's report concerning review of the summary financial interim information (interim report), prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and chapter 9 of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act
Introduction
We have reviewed this report for the nine month period 1 January 2012 to 30 September 2012 for Vitrolife AB (publ) org nr 556354-3452. The board of directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report 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 Swedish Standard on Review Engagements SÖG 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.

Note 1. Accounting Principles
This interim report has been prepared for the Group in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and recommendation RFR 2.2 of the Swedish Financial Reporting Board, Accounting for Legal Entities. Unless otherwise stated below, the accounting principles applied to the Group and the Parent Company are consistent with the accounting principles used in the presentation of the most recent Annual Report. After the decision to spin-off the product area Transplantation is shown as discontinuing operations according to IFRS 5. After adoption of a resolution to divest the transplantation business, this is reported separately as a business being wound up, in accordance with the rules of IFRS 5. A resolution was adopted at the Extraordinary General Meeting of shareholders held on September 24, 2012 regarding distribution of the shares in Xvivo Perfusion AB (transplantation) to the shareholders. Distribution of the shares in Xvivo Perfusion AB is therefore reported at closing day as a liability to the shareholders, calculated at book value (SEK 70,373 thousand) in the Parent Company. In the Group the adopted distribution of shares is reported at market value (SEK 387,343 thousand) in accordance with the rules in IFRIC 17 (IFRS). The market value is calculated in accordance with the share price upon listing of the Xvivo share on NASDAQ OMX First North on October 8. This has the effect that equity in the Group is negative at closing day. During the fourth quarter the distribution of Xvivo will be recorded in Vitrolife. The distribution will entail a non-taxable capital gain in the Vitrolife Group, which is the difference between the market value of Xvivo upon listing and the book value of Xvivo's net assets in the Vitrolife Group. After the distribution is reported in the fourth quarter, the Group's equity will turn positive again.

Glossary
The following explanations are intended to help the reader to understand certain specific terms and expressions in Vitrolife's reports:
IVF, In Vitro Fertilization
Fertilization between the woman's and the man's sex cells and cultivation of embryos outside the body.
In vitro (Latin "in glass")
A process that has been taken out from a cell to take place in an artificial environment instead, for example in a test tube.
Embryo
A fertilized egg.
Blastocyst
An embryo at days 5-7 after fertilization. Cell division has gone so far that the first cell differentiation has taken place and the embryo thereby now has two different types of cells.
Vitrification
Process for converting a material to a glasslike solid state, for example through rapid freezing, in this case rapid freezing of eggs and embryos, in order to be able to carry out IVF on a later occasion.
IUI
Intra-Uterine Insemination, "artificial insemination". A high concentration of active sperms is injected in order to increase the chance of pregnancy.
Stem cells
Non-specialized cells to be found in all multi-cell organisms. Have the ability to mature (differentiate) into several cell types. Are usually divided up into three groups: adult stem cells (in the fully grown individual), embryonic stem cells and stem cells from the umbilical cord. In the developing embryo stem cells give rise to all tissue in the fetus-to-be. In adult individuals stem cells constitute a repair system to replace damaged cells. As stem cells have the potential to mature into specialized cell types, there are great hopes regarding their medical role.
Cell therapy
Describes the process when new cells are added to tissue in order to treat a disorder.
Preclinical study
Research that is done before a pharmaceutical or a treatment method is sufficiently documented to be studied in people, for example testing of substances on tissue samples and later testing on experimental animals.
