Vitrolife's financial objectives
Vitrolife's Board considers that Vitrolife should have a strong capital base in order to enable continued high growth, both organically and through acquisitions. The company's net debt in relation to EBITDA should normally not exceed 3 times. Vitrolife's Board targets a profitable growth. The objective for Vitrolife's growth over a three year period is an increase in sales by an average of 20 percent per year, with an operating margin before depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) of 30 percent.
CEO's comments
Sales during the quarter amounted to SEK 209 million, corresponding to a decrease of 45 percent. During the second quarter covid-19 had an extensive negative impact on sales as a result of reduced demand. During
the first weeks of April sales amounted to approximately one third of the corresponding period the previous year and towards the end of the quarter sales amounted to approximately two thirds of the corresponding period the previous year. Even though it is likely that sales towards the end of the quarter were positively impacted by some building up of inventories at the clinics in connection with the starting up of the clinics, it is clear that a gradual recovery of demand was observed during the quarter. The recovery is being driven amongst other things by the fact that restrictions in many countries have been eased but is limited by factors such as safety measures at clinics and patient uncertainty. From a geographical perspective markets such as Japan, Australia, China and the Nordic Region have come furthest in the recovery while countries such as India, Brazil, Russia, Turkey and the UK have a long way to go before they reach a normal situation.
The operating income before depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) amounted to SEK 40 million during the quarter. During the quarter the company adapted the business to meet the changed environment. Production volumes were initially greatly reduced, but towards the end of the quarter they were adjusted up. These swings have meant some scrapping of media products as a result of difficulties in producing the right quantity of products given the lead times in production and products' shelf life. In the sales organisation, trade fairs and physical meetings with customers have been replaced by digital meetings and educational work and I am very pleased with all the activities that we have been able to carry out to support our customers and open up the way for future business. In product development, we have continued to work with full force to strengthen our long-term product offering, even though the closing down of clinics has caused some delays regarding clinical studies. In order to temporarily reduce personnel costs the company has made use of State support programmes in several countries during the quarter totalling SEK 5
million but as demand increased towards the end of the quarter the company has now terminated the support programmes. The pandemic has also had a significant impact on Vitrolife's customers' business, amongst other things in the form of a deterioration in cash flow. Vitrolife has therefore made provisions in the accounts for expected bad debt losses, which negatively impacted the quarter to the tune of SEK 6 million.
During the quarter the company continued the work of optimising profitability in the longer term as well and made a decision to consolidate the technology division's production and product development to the facility in Denmark. The transfer of the business from Germany to Denmark aims to achieve synergies between the division's business areas and is expected to be completed during next year.
The company estimates, on the basis of current sales levels, the trend during the second quarter and the signals that the company has received from customers, that the second half of the year will also be negatively impacted by reduced demand as a result of covid-19. The company's principal scenario is that the recovery that was observed during the second quarter will continue during the rest of the year and demand is then expected to gradually increase. In the company's assessment, clinics will give priority to a return to normal operations ahead of investments, and thus the recovery of single-use products is expected to be quicker than that of durable goods. The company estimates that the great majority of patients who have now postponed IVF treatment will have this treatment done on a later occasion, which may mean that there will be a pent-up need for IVF treatment after the crisis. Vitrolife's strong financial position leads us to assess the prospects as good that the company will come out of the crisis in a stronger position and will be able to take advantage of the opportunities that may crop up, for example with regard to acquisitions. The company estimates that the long-term market outlook is largely unchanged and 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.

Other information
Organisation and personnel
During the period the average number of employees was 405 (388), of whom 203 (196) were women and 202 (192) were men. Of these, 154 (151) people were employed in Sweden, 86 (85) in the US, 84 (79) in Denmark and 81 (73) in the rest of the world. The number of people employed in the Group at the end of the period was 418 (415).
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 2019, note 31.
Dividend
At the Annual General Meeting held on 15 June a resolution was adopted that no dividend would be paid for the financial year 2019, in accordance with the Board's proposal.
Risk management
Vitrolife works constantly and systematically to identify, evaluate and manage overall risks and different systems and processes. Risk analyses are performed continually 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 Management report, in the Annual Report for 2019. These are primarily constituted by macro-economic risks, operational risks and financial risks. The company's management of risks is also described in the Corporate Governance Report in the same Annual Report. The same applies to the Group's management of financial risks, which are described in the Annual Report for 2019, note 3. The reported risks, as they are described in the 2019 Annual Report, are assessed to be essentially unchanged.
Seasonal effects
Vitrolife's sales are affected relatively marginally by seasonal effects. There is often a downturn in orders before and during holiday periods. The reason that orders tail off before holiday periods is that fertility clinics minimize their stock, primarily of fertility media, as these have a relatively short
shelf life, so as not to risk scrapping. The third quarter has the greatest negative effect from holiday periods, as July and August are affected by holiday periods, primarily in Europe. During the first quarter sales in China are affected negatively by the Chinese New Year in January or February. During the fourth quarter sales in December are negatively affected by the Christmas and New Year holidays. All in all, total sales are usually relatively even between the first and second half of the year.
Events after the end of the period
No events have occurred after the end of the period that significantly affect the assessment of the financial information in this report.
Certification
The Board and the CEO certify that the half-year report gives a true and fair view fo the company´s and the Group´s business activities, financial position and results, and describes the essential risks and uncertainity factors that the company and the companies which are part of the Group face.

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 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.
No standards, amendments or interpretations that have come into force in 2020 are expected to have any material impact on the Group.
Note 2. Financial instruments - Fair value
Fair value has been measured for all financial assets and liabilities pursuant to IFRS 13. Other financial fixed assets, accounts receivable, other current receivables, cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, other liabilities and interest bearing liabilities are recorded at amortised cost. Financial assets and liabilities measured at amortised cost amount to SEK 971,018 thousand (725,566) and SEK 78,744 thousand (74,451). For the Group's other financial assets and financial liabilities, the reported values are considered to be a good approximation of the fair values. A calculation of fair value based on discounted future cash flows, where a discount rate reflecting the counterparty's credit risk constitutes the most significant input, is not deemed to give any significant difference compared to the reported value.
Classified in level 3 are financial assets, which relate to unlisted shares, and have been valued based on latest material transactions. During the period, valuation of an unlisted share has generated an effect on the income statement of SEK 8,916 thousand (0). This effect is reported among financial items. Classified in level 3 are also liabilities which relate to additional purchase prices, for which fair value have been estimated in cases where the time for effectiveness can be determined with certainty and the effect on Group level is material. Calculation is perfomed by future expected payments being discounted by current market rates for the duration of the liability. The measurement of fair value for financial liabilities in
level 3 has during the period generated an effect on the income statement of SEK -365 thousand (-297). This effect is reported among financial items.
Fair value hierarchy

| 9 307 | 8 954 | 8 860 | |
| levels | Jun 30.2020 | Jun 30.2019 Dec 31.2019 |
Level 1: valued at fair value based on quoted prices on an active market for identical assets. Level 2: valued at fair value based on other observable inputs for assets and liabilities than quoted price included in level 1. Level 3: valued at fair value based on inputs for assets and liabilities unobservable to the market.

| Parent company | |||
| Pledged assets | 9 291 | 7 681 | 8 404 |
| Contingent liabilities | 5 998 | 6 295 | 6 107 |
Pledged assets pertain to floating charges for own commitments and collateral pledged for endowment insurance plans (cost). Contingent liabilities refer to guarantee to Swedish Customs, the difference between market value and book value for endowment insurance plans and parent company guarantees for subsidiaries.
Note 4. Revenue
The great majority of Vitrolife's sales are of products that clearly represent separate performance obligations. Sales of products are recorded as revenue when they have been delivered to the customer. Vitrolife also sells services in the form of the servicing of products, primarily in the Technology division, and also in the form of the recharging of freight. Servicing is largely invoiced in advance and is recorded as revenue during the course of the servicing contract. Servicing revenues not recognised as revenue are reported as deferred income (contractual liabilities) in the balance sheet. In Vitrolife's assessment these services are also clearly separate performance obligations. The table below presents the division of products and services in net sales.
Vitrolife applies the following geographic segments: EMEA, North- and South America, Japan and Pacific and Asia. Previously, the organization was divided into five business units, but in 2019 a new structure was introduced, which now consists of three divisions; Consumables, Technology and Genomics. Business units Media and Disposable Devices have been merged into Consumables, and business units Time-Lapse and ART Equipment into Technology. Those sales that are not categorised into any of these divisions are essentially freight. Revenue per division and segment is presented in the tables below. For more information on the company's segments, see note 5.

Reconciliation of alternative key figures
This report includes certain key ratios not defined in IFRS, but they are included in the report as company management considers that this information makes it easier for investors to analyze the Group's financial performance and position. Investors should regard these alternative key ratios as complementing rather than replacing financial information in accordance with IFRS. Please note that Vitrolife's definitions of these key ratios may differ from other companies' definitions of the same terms. Basis for calculation of financial information for rolling 12 month is found in sections consolidated income statements per quarter and key ratios per quarter, total Group.
Adjusted gross and operating income
As Vitrolife's gross and operating income is significantly impacted by the amortisation of surplus values related to the acquisitions that the company has carried out, it is management's assessment that it is appropriate to illustrate the Group's profitability and earning capacity by presenting gross and operating income adjusted for amortisation of these surplus values. Reconciliation of these figures are presented directly in the financial reports. Vitrolife also reports adjusted gross and operating margin, which are defined as the above mentioned income measures in relation to net sales.
Operating income before depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA)
As amortisation of surplus values related to the acquisitions that Vitrolife has carried out is charged against operating income, it is management's assessment that operating income before depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) is a fairer measure of the Group's earning capacity compared to operating income (EBIT). Vitrolife's Board aims to achieve growth while maintaining profitability, where profitability is followed up through operating income before depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA).

Return on equity
It is Vitrolife's assessment that return on equity is an appropriate measure to illustrate to stakeholders how well the Group invests its equity.

Net debt / Rolling 12 month EBITDA
One of Vitrolife's financial objectives is to have a strong financial capital base to enable continued high growth, both organic and through acquisitions. In relation to this, Group management follows up the ratio of net debt in relation to rolling 12-month operating income before depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA). According to Vitrolife's financial objectives, this ratio should normally not exceed three times. Management assesses that this ratio gives creditors and investors important information concerning the Group's attitude to debt.

Net sales growth in local currency
As a large part of Vitrolife's sales are in other currencies than the reporting currency of SEK, sales are not only impacted by actual growth, but also by currency effects. To analyse sales adjusted for currency effects, the key ratio of sales growth in local currency is used. The percentage effects in the following tables are calculated by each amount in SEK millions in relation to net sales in the same period previous year (which is presented in note 4).

Glossary
The following explanations are intended to help the reader to understand certain specific terms and expressions in Vitrolife's reports:
Biological quality tests
Using biological systems (living cells, organs or animals) to test how well a product or input material functions in relation to a requirement specification.
Biopsy
Removal of one or several cells from living tissue for diagnostic evaluation.
Biotechnology
Combination of biology and technology, which primarily means using cells or components from cells (such as enzymes or DNA) in technical applications.
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.
Cell therapy
Describes the process when new cells are added to tissue in order to treat a disorder.
Clinical study/trial
An investigation in healthy or sick people in order to study the effect of a pharmaceutical or treatment method.
Embryo
A fertilized and cell divided egg.
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.
In vivo
Biological processes in living cells and tissue when they are in their natural place in whole organisms.
Incubator
Equipment for culture of embryos in a controlled environment.
IUI
Intra-Uterine Insemination, "artificial insemination". A high concentration of active sperms is injected in order to increase the chance of pregnancy.
IVF, In Vitro Fertilization
Fertilization between the woman's and the man's sex cells and cultivation of embryos outside the body.
Medical devices
Comprise devices used to make a diagnosis of a disease, treat a disease and as rehabilitation.
PGT-A
Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A), also called preimplantation genetic screening (PGS), is a test for chromosome copy number that can be used during IVF to help determine the chromosomal status of an embryo from a biopsy of one or more cells. The results of PGT-A aid in the selection of an embryo likely to have a normal number of chromosomes (euploid) for transfer to the woman and help avoid those with abnormal copy number (aneuploid) that may result in IVF failure or miscarriage.
PGT-M
Preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic and single gene defects (PGT-M), also called preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), is a test to find specific hereditary genetic diseases that are caused by a single defective gene. This test is used for couples who have a genetic mutation that can cause a genetic disease where the couple want to be sure that their child will not carry this disease.
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.
Time-lapse
Technology for supervision of embryos. Pictures of the development of the embryo are taken in short time interval, then played as a film and analyzed.
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.
