CEO'S COMMENTS

We are delighted to be able to summarize the most successful year ever for XVIVO Perfusion, with strong sales development, the company's first PMA approval (XPS™ with STEEN Solution™) and great progress in our other important product areas as well – heart transplantation and PrimECC®. Total sales
for 2019 amounted to SEK 221 million, driven by sales of non-durable goods which showed a growth of +20 percent. Most of the strong sales growth have come from the warm perfusion of lungs area, but cold preservation also displays good growth. A milestone was passed when sales of our input products were in excess of SEK 200 million for the first time.We were par ticularly pleased to observe that growth in Europe clearly accelerated during the year. This means that for the 29th quarter in a row (all quarters as a listed company) XVIVO displayed positive sales growth, a good gross margin and positive EBITDA.This is in parallell with making significant investments in R&D, in regulatory competence and in expansion of our customer support organization.
In addition to the PMA approval of XPS™ with STEEN Solution™ in the US, other important milestones were passed within the field of lung transplantation: the star t-up of a subsidiary in Australia when a third XPS™ was sold in the country, and Perfadex® Plus, which is an improved "readyto-use" version of Perfadex®, the company's largest product, obtained patent approval in Europe. XVIVO continues to develop the technology for the warm perfusion of lungs, both under its own management and through collaboration with partners, so as to be the leader in this product area in the future as well.
Very impor tant steps have been taken in the development of the future growth areas – heart transplantation and PrimECC®. In the field of hear t transplantation, good results were presented at the large transplantation conference during the year, ISHLT, from the initial par t of a hear t preservation study at Lund University Hospital using Professor Steen's first prototype.A new ready to use solution product and an improved second machine version have been constructed, tested and completed for the multicenter studies that will be started in all important markets. For the European studies, applications for approval of clinical trials were submitted earlier during the year in seven countries.These have been approved by some countries but are still being reviewed at present by some countries' medical authorities. We expect to be able to include patients in the first quar ter at a number of centers.A "Breakthrough Device Designation" was received from the FDA. This will shorten the administration time for
the whole study process and for the application for market approval in the US. It was also impor tant for the product development project that XVIVO's patent application for the hear t preservation fluid has been approved in the US and Europe.
The regulatory file for the new version of PrimECC® production with new environmentally and user-friendly packaging was submitted during the third quar ter.The approval of which is necessary to secure the continuation of the clinical program.The regulatory review of this change has taken a long time, due to the fact that the so-called Notified Bodies have an incredibly tough workload resulting in longer review times. This in turn is due to the fact that all Notified Bodies must be cer tified for the change in EU regulations for medical devices (MDR), which is planned to take place in May 2020.This type of delay is something that has affected all actors in the medical device field.As soon as the review of the regulatory file for the new version of PrimECC® production is complete, the continuation of clinical development can be initiated.The planned multicenter study, intended to widen the documentation of the product, is expected to be ongoing until the beginning of 2021 and to include 366 patients at seven clinics in Sweden.
As can be seen, in 2019 XVIVO managed to be both successful in the market and to achieve ambitious milestones in R&D, at the same time as the company has grown considerably in terms of competence and scope.This would not have been possible without our uniquely committed employees who collaborate over three continents. Despite the rapid expansion, XVIVO perfusion is still a small, firmly focused growth company with a high level of internal competence that invests the equivalent of 60 percent of sales (including what is capitalized in the balance sheet) in product development, with a view to long-term growth in the new product areas as well.
The focus for the lung transplantation area is to continue to support the transplantation clinics in their efforts to be able to treat more of the patients on the transplantation waiting lists by continuing to refine and simplify the EVLP technology and to increase the installation base of the company's EVLP machines, above all in Europe and in the new markets in Asia. In the field of hear t transplantation we are fully focused on supporting the clinics in the three clinical multicenter studies (Europe, the US and Australia). In general terms, XVIVO's research focuses on continuing to lead the development of innovative solutions in the field of organ transplantation and focus on assuring that we maintain our vision that no one should die waiting for an organ.

XVIVO Perfusion has received European patent approval for the company's ready to use product Perfadex® Plus for cold preservation of lungs. Perfadex® Plus was launched in Europe and the US in 2018. Patent applications for the new formulation have been submitted in all important markets.
XVIVO and MyCartis engage to develop a fast diagnostic test to assess the quality of donated organs before transplantation
During the third quarter, MyCartis and XVIVO Perfusion AB announced a collaboration to engage in the development of a fast diagnostic tool to timely assess the quality of donated organs during ex-vivo perfusion. Such test can guide the transplant surgeon and team on the quality of an organ and the chances of a positive outcome for the recipient. MyCartis is a Belgian company in the field of rapid diagnostics.
Currently, surgeons rely on physiological criteria to determine the fitness of an organ, whereas signs of non-fitness, like inflammation or tissue damage, may remain unnoticed by such means. Biomarker assessment to identify and quantify these unfavorable conditions in a timely manner would help the surgeon in the decision process.The MyCartis Evalution™ platform is unique in its ability to measure multiple biomarkers simultaneously in a fast and easy way using a workflow that enables repeated testing. In a recent whitepaper, MyCartis demonstrated the successful application of interleukin-1β as an indicator for inflammation in lung organs during perfusion. With results generated within 20
minutes, this test meets the required turnaround time for realtime organ assessment as well as organ follow-up. MyCartis and XVIVO decided to expand the real-time testing panel to also enable the quantitation of organ damage next to the degree of inflammation. Both phenomena are negative indicators for successful transplantation.
Results from the heart preservation study presented on ISHLT
ISHLT (The International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation) was held at the beginning of April. At the conference, Professor Johan Nilsson presented the positive results from the first six heart transplant patients from the ongoing study at Lund University Hospital.The results of the study indicate that the method is safe to use in humans. This means that larger randomized studies can be initiated with the heart preservation method. If the new method in larger studies demonstrates the same effect on humans as on animals, it will be possible to use significantly more donated hearts for transplantation. XVIVO Perfusion has, through its cooperation agreement with Igelösa Life Science, the commercial rights to Professor Stig Steen's research in heart transplantation.
Approximately 7,500 heart transplants are performed in the world each year and the limiting factor for more heart transplants are the lack of donated hearts and that the generally accepted maximum transport time today is about four hours. The new preservation method includes a machine that supplies the heart with important substances in an oxygenated solution (patent application submitted) before transplantation. In previous animal experiments using the new method, the preservation time for the donated heart has been significantly extended and the function of the donated heart has been better preserved.
XVIVO has received Premarket approval (PMA) from the FDA for STEEN Solution™ and XPS™
On April 26, 2019 XVIVO received Premarket approval (PMA) from the FDA for the products XPS™ and STEEN Solution™ for sale on the American market.The PMA approval was the first of its kind and means that more lung transplants are made possible without the limitations that the HDE approval entailed and that the clinics' reimbursement process is facilitated.
The process to receive market approval from the FDA began in 2009 and the company's HDE application was approved in August 2014. During the course of the process, clinical studies have been conducted to prove product and patient safety, and in March 2014, the FDA's expert panel unanimously voted that the XPS™ and STEEN Solution™ meets the requirements for HDE approval.An HDE approval involves certain limitations, including that a maximum of 8,000 patients may be treated per year and that separate ethical permits are required for treatment. With the PMA approval, the products can now be sold on the American market without such restrictions and will be labeled for warm perfusion of initially not accepted donated lungs.
XVIVO Perfusion will perform a Post Approval Study (PAS) required by the FDA to monitor the long-term results of EVLP through an official US registry comparing traditionally donated lungs to those where EVLPs have been performed prior to transplantation. Costs for the PAS study will be capitalized on an ongoing basis during the five years it is expected to last.
XVIVO's patents for the heart preservation fluid approved in the US and Europe
XVIVO's patents for the heart preservation fluid have been approved in the US and Europe. Canada has already approved this patent. XVIVO has also previously received a patent for the heart evaluation equipment in Europe,Australia, Canada and China.The review of the patent application for the heart evaluation equipment is in its final stages in the US.Together these patents strengthen XVIVO's position in the heart transplantation field on all major markets in the world.
XVIVO has two main patents in the field of heart transplantation. The first of these covers the preservation fluid that is used in heart preservation and the other covers important parts of the evaluation equipment that is to be used for heart evaluation after preservation, but before transplantation.
The Swedish MPA has given approval to begin clinical studies with the company's new products for heart preservation
XVIVO has received approval from the Swedish Medical Products Agency (MPA) to begin the clinical study with XVIVO's heart preservation products.Applications have been submitted to the other EU countries that will participate in the study. The study will form the basis for regulatory approval in Europe, known as the CE mark. The study will begin as soon as regulatory approvals and ethical approvals from hospital committees have been obtained.
The heart preservation study in Europe is a randomized study planned to include eight centers in seven European countries. The aim of the study is to clinically show that the technology is safe and improves the preservation of the donated heart during transport.
The company also plans to begin clinical trials in the US to obtain regulatory approvals as well as in Australia to expand the documentation of the cardiac preservation products.The products for heart preservation consist of a portable machine with associated sterile disposable products, as well as a patented innovative solution that perfuse, and oxygenate, the heart during transportation and preservation.The technology is developed by Professor Stig Steen at Igelösa Life Science and it is a task that started approximately ten years ago. Over the past two years, XVIVO has further developed the products and setup large-scale production of the heart preservation fluid.
Reimbursement for the entire EVLP process obtained in France
Reimbursement for the EVLP process obtained in France. This means that clinics in France not only receive compensation for the EVLP kits used at an EVLP but also receive reimbursement for the clinical team's time during an EVLP.
SEK 27 million share issue because of warrants being exercised
Because of warrants being exercised, the number of shares and votes in XVIVO Perfusion AB (publ) has during the period increased by 198.000 shares and votes.As of December 31, 2019, there were a total of 26,600,496 shares and votes in the company. The share issue of 198.000 shares raised approximately SEK 27 million.
OUTLOOK 2020
As the number of lungs that can be transplanted using traditional cold preservation is not expected to increase more than the number of donated lungs in existing markets in North America and Europe, growth in these markets is expected to come primarily from evaluation using warm perfusion of lungs. Emerging markets, such as China and India where the capacity for lung transplantations is being expanded, are expected to display higher growth for both EVLP and traditional cold preservation using Perfadex® Plus. The focus during 2020 is therefore on continuing to develop the market for STEEN Solution™, with the objective to become the standard treatment in the transplantation of lungs in addition to increasing the company's investments in emerging markets to assure sustainable global growth moving ahead.
The company will intensify its research and development in the field of heart transplantation, with the aim of starting clinical multi-center studies in Europe, the US and Australia which will form the basis of regulatory approval. Expenditure attributable to the development of heart transplantation will be capitalized on an ongoing basis.
In regard to research and development, the company will carry out work with the aim of expanding the use of the STEEN Solution™ method for other organs. In addition, the company will continue to develop other areas of use for the company's solution technology including warm perfusion of organs that are still in the body and the priming of heart-lung machines. An example of the latter is PrimECC®, a patented product that has been approved in Europe for the priming of heart-lung machines before open heart surgery. PrimECC® has been developed with an objective to decreasing the adverse effects when using this type of device.The company plans to increase the documentation of PrimECC® during 2020 by performing multicenter studies. Expenditure attributable to documentation of PrimECC® will be capitalized on an ongoing basis up until market launch.
THE COMPANY IN BRIEF
Operations
XVIVO Perfusion AB is a medical technology company which develops solutions and systems for selecting usable organs and maintaining them in optimal condition pending transplantation. Currently, the company's product, Perfadex® Plus, has a market share of approximately 90 percent in the traditional preservation of lungs for transplantation. The company's products for warm perfusion, XPS™ and STEEN Solution™, have regulatory approval in all major markets in the world, and were the first products to receive regulatory approval from the FDA for warm perfusion of marginal lungs.
Lung transplantation
A great problem in transplantation healthcare is the lack of available lungs. Currently in the USA, only around 20 percent of the available donated lungs are transplanted, as it is considered far too risky to transplant the remaining majority. By using XVIVO's product STEEN Solution™, the organ is cleared of harmful substances from the donor, thus creating a better environment for the organ's cells. The technology thereby allows the organ to "recover" when possible. It also allows for functional testing to be performed on the organ outside the body. In clinical use in the US, Europe, Australia, and Canada, it has emerged that once STEEN Solution™ perfusion has been carried out, many of the organs that were initially "rejected" are assessed as being usable and have been successfully transplanted into patients with endstage lung disease. Therefore, the use of STEEN Solution™ has the potential to increase the total number of lung transplants.
Heart transplantation
Based on the world leading research of Professor Stig Steen and Igelösa, XVIVO Perfusion's heart transplantation competence center in Lund (Sweden) develops a machine and solutions for heart preservation.The products are developed to increase the availability of donated hearts so that more heart transplants can be performed and more patients can be given a last chance of a longer life. Future focus is to perform clinical multicenter studies and use the documentation of these studies as a basis for applications for regulatory approvals for the products on all major markets.
Other indications
The company also invests in preclinical and clinical research in transplantation of liver and kidney and in perfusion of organs remaining in the body, for example, drug administration to isolated organs and priming solutions for heart-lung machines.
Business concept
XVIVO Perfusion's business concept is to increase the survival rate of patients in need of an organ transplant by providing effective products that increase the availability and survival potential of organs once transplanted.
Vision
The company's vision is that no one should have to die waiting for a new organ.
Objective
The company's objective is to establish the perfusion of organs with STEEN Solution™ and other advanced solutions as the standard treatment in organ transplantation so that more of these life saving treatments can be performed..
Strategy
XVIVO Perfusion's strategy is focused on increasing the number of organs available for transplantation.Through development of products for perfusion of organs and through clinical trials on all major markets in the world, XVIVO Perfusion shows that perfusion of organs gives more organs available for transplantation and thus gives a larger number of patients a life-saving treatment.

Note 1. Accounting principles
For the Group,the repor t is presented pursuant to the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and for the Parent Company pursuant to the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities.
Accounting principles applied for the Group and the parent company correspond, unless otherwise stated below, with the accounting policies used for the preparation of the latest annual repor t. During 2019 the Group has star ted to apply IFRS 16 Leases. Effects of the transition is presented below.
IFRS 16 Leases
As of January 1, 2019, the Group applies IFRS 16 Leases.The new standard replaces previous IFRS related to the recognition of leasing agreements such as IAS 17 "Leases"" and IFRIC 4 "Determining whether an agreement contains a lease". For the Group, the new standard means that "right of use" agreements for premises and equipment are recognised as an asset in the balance sheet and that a leasing debt is recognised, which represents an obligation to pay future leasing fees. Excemptions are used, which means that short-term leases and leases of low value are not capitalized. Instead they are expensed in the period of consumption. The parent company does not apply IFRS 16, in accordance with the excemptions stated in RFR 2.
A modified retrospective approach of IFRS 16 has been adopted, which has entailed effects on the balance sheet as of January 1, 2019. Comparative figures for previous periods have not been restated.As of January 1, 2019, an a tangible asset of TSEK 8.727 have been recognized.The corresponding amount has been recognized as current lease debt, TSEK 3.363, and long-term lease debt, TSEK 5.364. Total leasing debt as of January 1, 2019 thus amounts to SEK 8.727 thousand, which is to be compared with the information in the most recently prepared annual report for 2018, where future operational lease commitments are stated to amount to SEK 8.500 thousand. The difference is due to discounting effects and additional reasonably safe extension periods.An average marginal loan rate of 2.3 percent has been used in the calculations.
At the end of the period, December 31, 2019, the Group repor ts the following book values of leased assets:Tangible assets SEK 5 550 (-) thousand.The effect of IFRS 16 in the consolidated income statement for the period January-December, 2019, is that depreciation of SEK 3.349 thousand and interest expense of SEK 161 thousand replaced operating leasing cost of SEK 3.510 thousand. The new standard has therefore not had any effect on the net result for the period, compared with if IAS 17 was applied.
Note 2. Share warrant programs
In total there are 579.000 outstanding warrants in two programs. The Annual General Meeting of 2018 resolved to issue no more than 315.000 warrants (series 2018/2020), with the right to subscribe a maximum of 315.000 new shares to employees of the XVIVO Perfusion Group.As per June 30, 2019, 279.000 of these warrants have been subscribed for. Each warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for a new share in May 2020, at a price of SEK 146.02.
The Annual General Meeting of 2019 resolved to issue no more than 351.000 warrants (series 2019/2021), with the right to subscribe a maximum of 351.000 new shares to employees of the XVIVO Perfusion Group.As per December 31, 2019, all 351.000 warrants have been subscribed for. Each warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for a new share in May 2021, at a price of SEK 278.91.
During the period January-December 2019, both the average share price for the period and the closing price at period end exceeded the exercise price of warrant program series 2018/2020, whereby the warrant program at strike is expected to result in a total dilution effect for existing shares of approximately 1.0 percent.
The Annual General Meeting in 2018 and 2019 decided to approve a cashbased incentive program for the Group's employees in countries outside Sweden, as these employees are not entitled to participate in the Swedish option programs. The cash-based programs should, as far as practically possible, be designed to correspond to the Swedish option programs but have a limit for maximum outcome.The cost of these cash-based incentive programs is recognized in the periods when XVIVO's share price exceeds the exercise price for each Swedish option program.

To calculate the gross profit margin, gross profit is first calculated by subtracting the cost of goods for resale from net sales. Gross profit is then divided by net sales to obtain the performance measure of "gross profit margin." Gross profit margin states the percentage of net sales that are conver ted into profit after cost of goods sold, and is impacted by such factors as pricing, the cost of raw materials and manufacturing, inventory impairment and trends in exchange rates.

Equity consists of share capital, other contributed capital, reserves and retained earnings, including the Group's profit for the year and non-controlling interests. Equity/assets ratio is calculated by dividing equity by total assets and is thus a measure of the percentage of assets that are financed by equity.
