CEO comment

Year ends on strong quarter

XVIVO's strong conclusion to 2021 generates positive prospects for the coming year. Fourth-quarter sales were solid and new sales records were set in all business areas. XVIVO acquired the groundbreaking organ recovery company STAR Teams in the quarter, a strategically significant acquisition on the key US market. The integration came off to an enthusiastic start and STAR Teams returned strong growth in the fourth quarter.

Dag Andersson, CEO

"It was particularly pleasing that revenue from machine perfusion increased as activity intensified or restarted in several EVLP programs in clinics across the US and Europe."

Total sales amounted to SEK 86 million (60) in the fourth quarter, with organic growth of 32 percent. XVIVO made a strong recovery compared to the third quarter when sales were affected by the impact of the Delta virus on global healthcare. We expect the number of transplants to increase gradually across all markets as the effect of the pandemic on healthcare operations decreases.

Thoracic's sales amounted to SEK 59 million (44) with organic growth of 33 percent. It was particularly pleasing that revenue from machine perfusion increased as activity intensified or restarted in several EVLP programs in clinics across the US and Europe. This means that we are starting the new year with good prospects of increased activity in the clinics that use XVIVO's technology around the world.

The business area Abdominal also returned a strong quarter. Sales totaled SEK 21 million (17) with organic growth of 29 percent. Sales were almost exclusively derived from Europe where we are continuing to increase our installed base of perfusion machines. Sales of durable goods totaled SEK 6 million (3), a record quarter.

STAR Teams, comprising the new business area Services, provided SEK 6 million (-) in sales for the period November-December. In December, the company reached a milestone of 400 organ recoveries in a single year – double the figure for 2020. STAR Teams is a pioneer in its field and adds considerable value to transplant clinics in the US through its service offering.

Gross margin also increased in the fourth quarter. Thoracic's gross margin excluding durable goods was 83 percent (80) in the quarter and amounted to 55 percent (50) for Abdominal. The margin improvements were mainly due to higher prices to customers and economies of scale from increased sales.

We launched initiatives aimed at further strengthening our focus on the important North American market in the fourth quarter. We recruited a Head of North America and increased the representation of US-based members in XVIVO's management. We also opened a new office in Philadelphia, which will act as a hub in the integration of STAR Teams.

Our development projects are continuing, and the final clinics are now being included in the EuropeanHeart study and the PrimECC study. In the investigator-initiated heart trials in Australia/New Zeeland a donor heart was preserved outside the body for seven hours and 18 minutes before being successfully transplanted. That is significantly longer than what is normally possible and a record for XVIVO's groundbreaking heart technology when used in clinical trials.

The pandemic continues to put public healthcare services under pressure. The impact on transplant activity around the world varied in 2021, both in terms of organ type and market. However, the overall transplant trend looks positive. In 2021, historic 40,000 successful organ transplants were completed on XVIVO's main market in the US. Compared to the previous year, transplants increased for all organ types with the exception of lung.

To conclude, I would like to highlight two news items communicated in January 2022. The world's first successful xenotransplant of a heart from pig to human was carried out by a transplant team at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in the US. XVIVO's innovative heart technology was a key factor in the transplant's success.

In January, XVIVO obtained 510(k) approval from the FDA for Kidney Assist Transport for sales in the US, the world's largest kidney market. In 2021, close to 15,000 kidney transplants from deceased donors were carried out in the US. The FDA approval is good news and will generate new business opportunities for us in 2022!

Summary

The quarter October - December 2021

Net sales and income

The fourth quarter resulted in a strong recovery in sales compared to the third quarter, especially within machine perfusion where XVIVO could see increased activity in both Thoracic and Abdominal. The recovery was broad across most markets. Organic growth amounted to 32 percent in local currencies.

Net sales during the quarter increased by 42 percent and amounted to SEK 85.9 million (60.3). This represents an increase of 42 percent also in local currencies. Net sales without durable goods increased by 35 percent and amounted to SEK 74.0 million (54.9). The increase corresponds to 34 percent in local currencies

Machine perfusion accounted for 55 percent (56) of net sales. Static preservation and other sales (revenue from service and training, etc.) accounted for the remaining part of the sales.

Gross margin for the quarter was 73 percent (69) and gross margin without durable goods was 77 percent (72). For comments on margins, see each business area (page 12-13).

Operating profit before depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) amounted to SEK -0. 1 million (-6.5) corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 0 percent (-11). EBITDA was positively affected by the resolution of the provision for cash-based incentive programs for employees outside Sweden of SEK 0.8 million and charged with acquisition costs of SEK -10.0 million and integration costs of SEK -0.5 million. Adjusted forthese items totaling net SEK-9.7 million (-13.2), EBITDA amounted to SEK 9.6 million (6.8), corresponding to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 11 percent (11).

Operating profit (EBIT) amounted to SEK -8.3 million (-14.3). EBIT adjusted for the above-mentioned specific costs, amounted to SEK 1.4 million (-1.0).

Financial income and expenses for the quarter amounted to SEK 18.5 million (-11.6), primarily due to a positive effect from the resolution of a cost provision of EUR 2 million attributable to a part of the earn-out linked to the acquisition of XVIVO B.V. (former Organ Assist), which will not fall out for payment. The remaining part of the earn-out consideration, EUR 2 million, will be paid during the first quarter of 2022.

During the quarter, SEK 28.5 million (18.9) of development expenditures were capitalized as intangible assets. Development expenditures are primarily expenditures withinR&D projects with the aim of obtaining regulatory approvals in the US and Europe. Amortization of capitalized development expenses amounted to SEK 5.0 million (5.1) during the quarter, of which SEK 3.9 million (3.9) is attributed to regulatory approvals for the company's products withing lung transplantation. The remaining part relates to amortization of R&D projects within the abdominal operations.

The transaction was completed on November 9, 2021 and STAR Teams was included in the Group's financial reporting for the period November-December.

Directed new share issue raised SEK 250 million.

The acquisition of STAR Teams was financed through a new share issue on October 28, through an accelerated book-building procedure. 746,269 shares were issued at a subscription price of SEK 335 per share, through which the Company recieved SEK 250 million before issue costs. Issue costs totaled SEK 6 million. In addition to strong support from existing shareholders, several new Swedish and international institutional investors participated in the directed issue. The directed issue entailed a dilution of approximately 2.5 percent of the shares and votes in the Company.

Change in number of shares and votes

New record for preserving donor heart outside the body using XVIVO technology

XVIVO is setting new standards in heart transplantation. In an ongoing clinical trial in Australia and New Zealand, a donor heart was preserved using XVIVO's Non Ischemic Heart Preservation technology for 7 hours and 18 minutes before successful transplantation into a 55-year-old man. The study investigates whether the new preservation technology can safely extend the transport period for donated hearts beyond the current 4 hour limit. By pushing the ideal time limit from less than 4 hours for traditional storage using ice to more than 7 hours using XVIVO's technology, more lives will be saved. The first patients in the trial were included in the first quarter 2021.

XVIVO accelerates operations in Brazil through partnership with Contatti Medical

By selling and distributing its products through Contatti Medical's well-established network in Brazil, XVIVO's market access will increase significantly. Contatti Medical is the current market leader in its segment in Brazil. The country is currently the world's third largest abdominal organ transplantation market and strategically important for XVIVO. Every year more than 6,000 kidney transplants are carried out in Brazil, and more than 2,000 liver transplants. Currently, XVIVO has systems for machine perfusion of kidney and liver, the products Kidney Assist and Liver Assist. marketed and sold on the Brazilian market.

Strengthened organization and increased focus on North America

The organization in North America was strengthened by the appointment of Fredrik Dalborg as Managing Director North America and the appointment of Jaya Tiwari as Vice President Clinical and Regulatory Affairs. XVIVO opened a new office in Philadelphia in the US, which will act as a hub in the integration of STAR Teams and form the basis of XVIVO's commercial operations in North America. The office in Denver, USA, will remain the company's competence center for development of innovative lung technology.

The period January - December 2021

Net sales and income

For the full year 2021, we can conclude that the Covid-19 pandemic has continued to have a major impact on transplant activity globally. Available healthcare resources have largely focused on Covid-19 and more patients than ever are now waiting for a new organ.

Transplant activity varied in 2021 depending on organ and region. In XVIVO's main market, the US, the number of transplants for all organs except lung actually increased compared to both 2019 and 2020. For example, lung transplants in the US were 7 percent lower in 2021 compared to 2019. In Europe, the rate of recovery has varied by country and organ. However, the total number of transplants in Europe during 2021 has not recovered to 2019 levels.

Net sales increased by 44 percent during the period and amounted to SEK 258.4 million (179.9). This represents an increase of 50 percent in local currencies. Net sales of non-durable goods increased by 38 percent and amounted to SEK 234.0 million (169.4). The increase corresponds to 45 percent in local currencies.

Organic growth amounted to 27 percent in local currencies.

Machine perfusion accounted for 53 percent (43) of net sales. Static preservation and other sales (revenue from service and training, etc.) accounted for the remaining part of the sales.

Gross margin for the period was 73 percent (74) and gross margin without durable goods was 76 percent (77). For comments on margins, see business area information on page 12-13.

Operating profit before depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) amounted to SEK 13.8 million (-15.6), corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 5 percent (-9). EBITDA was positively affected by the resolution of a provision forthe cash-based incentive program for employees outside Sweden of SEK 3.9 million and has been charged with M&A costs of SEK -13.3 million and integration costs of SEK -6.3 million. Adjusted for these items with a net of SEK -15.8 million (-35.8), EBITDA amounted to SEK 29.5 million (20.2), corresponding to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 11 percent (11).

Operating income (EBIT) amounted to SEK -18.5 million (-45.7). EBITadjusted for the above-mentioned items amounted to SEK -2.7 million (-9.9).

Selling expenses as a proportion of sales amounted to 38 percent (33) in the period. The increased selling expenses include investments in organization and marketing projects, but also integration costs of SEK 2.8 million and non-recurring items of about SEK 4.0 million.R&D expenses amounted to 22 percent (31) of sales. Administrative expenses amounted to 22 percent (17) of sales. The increase in administration costs include acquisition costs of SEK 13.3 million and integration costs of SEK 3.6 million. The company received US government support totaling SEK 3.8 million, which has been recognized as reduced personnel expenses mainly within commercial and R&Dfunctions.

Other operating income and operating expenses amounted to SEK 4.1 million (-32.2)in the period.

During the period, SEK 81.0 million (60.5) of development expenditure were capitalized as intangible assets. Development expenditure essentially relate to R&D expenses in connection with obtaining regulatory approvals in the US and Europe. Amortization of capitalized development expenses amounted to SEK 20.0 million (16.7) in the period, of which SEK 15.5 million (15.5) was attributed to regulatory approvals for the company's products in lung transplantation. The remainder relates to amortization of R&D projects in the Abdominal business area.

In the UK, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has issued interventional procedure guidance recommending the use of Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion (EVLP) for preservation of lungs. The support of EVLP is given as standard arrangement, which is the highest prioritized recommendation by NICE, and EVLP is described as a method that enables longer and better preservation of donated lungs. The NICE guidelines are evidence-based recommendations that guide decisions in health, public health and social care in the UK and Wales.

A study published in The New England Journal of Medicine shows significant advantages with oxygenated, cold machine perfusion prior to liver transplantation

An article in The New England Journal of Medicine shows that oxygenated perfusion of donated liver before transplantation has a significant positive impact on post-transplantation outcomes. The article presents the results from a study performed by a large international consortium of liver transplant centers led by Professor Robert Porte, liver surgeon at the University Medical Center Groningen in the Netherlands. Transplant centers in the Netherlands, Belgium and United Kingdom participated.

Livers from 156 high risk donors (Donation after Circulatory Death) were included in the study and randomized to either the current treatment regime, static cold storage or 2 hours of cold oxygenated machine perfusion after static cold storage. The main purpose of the study was to investigate the presence of biliary complications within six months after transplantation.

This study demonstrated a significant benefit when oxygenated machine perfusion was used. During the followup period only 6 percent of patients that received a machine perfused liver developed biliary complications, compared to 18 percent in the static cold storage group. Furthermore, the risk of circulatory instability in these patients and the incidence of early graft dysfunction reduced by nearly half. The machine perfusion technology used in the trial sharply decreases complications after transplant and has the potential to increase the number of transplanted patients. The machine used for oxygenated perfusion in the trial, Liver Assist, is CE-marked and at present primarily sold in Europe, but also through distributors on other, smaller markets.

Strategic focus areas presented at XVIVO´s first Capital Markets Day

In September, XVIVO held its first capital markets day in front of audiences present both physically and digitally. The company's strategic focus areas for 2022-2026 were presented. During the strategy period, XVIVO will become the leading playerin the transplant industry. This will be done by delivering in five strategic focus areas: 1) Become a global leader in Abdominal, 2) Launch a market-leading heartpreservation system, 3) Increase penetration of machine perfusion for all organs, 4) Ensure inclusive reimbursementin key geographic markets, and 5) Develop China into XVIVO's second largest market.

Pilot project within advanced data analysis started with UMC Groningen as partner

XVIVO and University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG) have agreed to jointly conduct a pilot project in advanced analysis using liver perfusion data from XVIVO's liver perfusion machine, Liver Assist. The project, called XCEPT, aims to extract data from perfusion to enable advanced analysis of organs prior to transplantation. The analysis will help surgical teams make a more data-driven decision and increase the number of successful liver transplants.

The number of shares and votes in XVIVO Perfusion AB (publ) increased by 33,261 shares and votes in June 2021 as a result of the utilization of warrants under the company's incentive scheme 2019/2021.

Through the directed new share issue carried out in the fourth quarter, the number of shares and votes in XVIVO Perfusion AB (publ) increased by 746,269 shares in the quarter, and there were 29,498,666 shares in the company as of December 31, 2021. Share capital increased by SEK 19,074 and totaled SEK 753,949 as of December 31, 2021.

Significant events after the end of the period

XVIVO's innovative technology for heart preservation was used in the world's first successful xenotransplant (pig to human)

On January 7, 2022, the world's first ever successful pig to human heart transplant took place, a groundbreaking milestone in the field of transplantation. A team at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, USA, performed the procedure. The recipient was a 57-year-old terminally ill man who received a heart from a genetically modified pig. After retrieval, the pig heart was preserved using XVIVO's heart perfusion device and proprietary solution until transplanted.

Xenotransplantation, transplantation between species, presents a potential solution to the critical organ shortage. Groundbreaking research using XVIVOs heart preservation technology has achieved long-term survival after xenotransplants of hearts from genetically modified pigs to primates in recent years. Based on this extensive research, the first ever transplant of a heart from a genetically modified pig to a human has now taken place.

510(k) approval for Kidney Assist Transport received from the FDA in the US

On January 21, 2022, XVIVO obtained regulatory approval (510(k) by the FDA for the marketing and sale of the product Kidney Assist Transport on the US market.

Kidney Assist Transport is XVIVO's transportable system for kidney preservation. The system enables isolated hypothermic oxygen perfusion of donated kidneys during transport between donor and recipient in connection with kidney transplants. The technology was highlighted in scientific journal The Lancet in November 2020.

Following the announcement of XVIVO's acquisition of XVIVO B.V. (former Organ Assist) on October 1, 2020, the launch of Kidney Assist Transport has been an important milestone in XVIVO's strategy of establishing a commercial presence in abdominal transplantation in the US. This is the largest market by some margin, with approximately 18,700 kidney transplants from deceased donors in 2021.

Business area development

XVIVO's operations are conducted in three business areas: Thoracic (lung and heart transplantation), Abdominal (liver and kidney transplantation) and Services (Organ recovery). Within each business area commercial and R&D activities take place.

Thoracic

Business area Thoracic consists of XVIVO's lung and heart transplantation business. In lung transplantation, the company's product Perfadex® Plus has a market share of approximately 90 percent in traditional static preservation of lungs. The company's products for warm perfusion, XPS™ and STEEN Solution™, have market approval in all major markets and in 2019, they were the first products to receive FDA approval for warm perfusion of marginal lungs. In heart transplantation, XVIVO's products are in a clinical study phase. Some sales take place in heart transplantation – mainly in pre-clinical xenotransplantation.

The quarter October – December 2021

Net sales during the quarter amounted to SEK 20.6 million (16.6), an increase of 24 percent compared to the previous year. The increase was 29 percentin local currencies. Revenues were generated mainly in Europe and consisted to 80 percent of revenues from liver transplantation.Sales of durable goods amounted to SEK 5.6 million (2.7), which is a record for one quarter, mainly due to a strong quarter for installations of Liver Assist machines.

Organic growth was 29 percentin local currencies.

Gross margin without durable goods amounted to 55 percent (50) during the quarter, partly strengthened by oneoff factors. Underlying gross margin on sales was in line with the third quarter.

The period January – December 2021

Net sales during the period amounted to SEK 53.7 million (16.6. Since XVIVO's abdominal business was acquired in the fourth quarter of 2020, comparison figures for the Group for the period January – September 2021 are missing. However, the underlying business showed an organic growth for the full year of 35 percent in local currencies.

Gross margin without durable goods in the period was 53 percent (50). Price increases were carried out in the first quarter of the year according to plan, but the positive effect on gross margin was partly absorbed, temporarily, by increased purchase prices. A supplier change has been performed and the gross margin is expected to be strengthened after regulatory approvals and certifications as the new products have a lower cost of production.

Services

Business area Services consists of STAR Team's thoracic organ recovery business. Organ recovery refers to organ removal from the donor body, preservation of organs in cold solutions during transport and logistics and coordination before and during organ recovery. STAR Teams, established 2019, is a pioneer in the US market and provides its services to about ten to fifteen USclinics.

STAR Teams doubled the number of organs recovered in 2021 compared to 2020. The growth came from a gradually increased customer base during the year. The company was acquired on 9 November and is included in the XVIVO Group's accounts during the period November-December. The gross margin in 2021 primarily includes costs for surgical teams and the margin has been reduced to some extent due to investments in the workforce during the year. The margin is expected to increase gradually as new customers are added and as economies of scale are achieved.

Development projects

Project Description Status
Heart transplantation The primary restriction on the number of heart
transplants possible today comes from the number of
available, usable donated organs based on current
technology, in combination with the period that a
donated heart can be outside the body. In
collaboration with Professor Stig Steen, XVIVO has
developed a total solution consisting of fluids and
machinery that better preserve the function of the
donated heart during transport, which contributes to
improved outcomes after heart transplantation. In the
ongoing clinical trials, patients are randomized to be
transplanted either with donated hearts transported
by XVIVO's method or by the conventional ice-box
method.
XVIVO has a program of multicenter clinical studies that will
form the basis for the application for regulatory approval of the
products in all major markets in the world. In Europe, nine
clinics now actively include patients in XVIVO's study. Four
more clinics are in the start-up phase. In 2021, all activated
clinics have been trained and prepared. The initial experience
of the users of the technology has been positive. A similar
multicenter study is also in the planning phase in the US, where
the company has received a breakthrough device designation.
Discussions about the design of the study are ongoing with the
FDA.
In addition to the studies conducted by XVIVO, research
initiated studies with XVIVO's technology are ongoing in Lund
and Australia. The latter has reported successful transplants
after transport times of donated hearts longer than a full 7 hours
using XVIVO technology.
Kidney
transplantation
As for other organs, there is a shortage of
transplantable kidneys. Studies have demonstrated
that transport of kidneys with ongoing perfusion
improves post-transplant outcomes.
An international study of high quality published in The Lancet
2020 shows benefits for the recipient when the kidney is
transported perfused with an oxygenated solution. This is the
technology unique to XVIVO.
The combination of new perfusion technology and solutions
will be the focus of future research in the field of organ.
Liver transplantation Like for other organs, there is a shortage of
transplantable livers. By preserving and evaluating
the function of donated liver optimally, more organs
with good function are potentially available for
transplant. Studies show that oxygenated perfusion of
liver before transplantation reduces the risk of serious
complications in some cases.
The results of a study published in The New England Journal of
Medicine in the first quarter 2021 demonstrate significant
benefits of oxygenated machine perfusion of liver prior to
transplantation in post-cardiac donation (DCD). XVIVO's
technology was used in the study. Further investigator-driven
studies using XVIVO's technology are ongoing. The
combination of new perfusion technology and optimized
solutions will be the focus of future research in the field.
PrimECC® PrimECC® is a fluid developed in collaboration with
Professor Stig Steen intended for use in heart-lung
machines. Before connecting the cardiopulmonary
machine to a patient, the machine must be filled with
fluid, usually simple saline solutions. In 2016 and
2017, a randomized clinical trial on 80 patients
indicated reduced side effects related to the use of
cardiac lung machine when using PrimECC®.
XVIVO has patents for PrimECC® on key markets in the US,
EU, China, and Japan. Several hundred thousand heart
surgeries are performed each year, which means considerable
sales potential if good clinicalresults can be demonstrated.The
company is awaiting product launch until the results of the
current expanded study are available.The study is ongoing in
Sweden. Planning underway for the start of study in Denmark,
Norway and Germany during the first part of 2022

Research projects

Project Description Status
Xeno-transplantation Xenotransplantation involves the use of non-human
organs in transplantation. The method is currently at
the research stage for several organs.
The first successful human transplant took place in January
2022 and was followed by great media coverage. XVIVO will
continue to support ground-breaking research in the field and
our technology to preserve the function of the heart is currently
used by two world leading research groups.

Other information

Sustainability

Everyone who works at XVIVO is dedicated to our vision that "nobody should die waiting for a new organ" and we are proud that our innovations help give patients the opportunity to live longer and better lives. For more than two decades we have focused on developing, manufacturing and marketing technology that contributes to making more donated organs available for transplant.

XVIVO's Code of Conduct is our primary sustainability policy. This includes guidelines for business principles, human rights and working principles. For more detailed information relating to our sustainability work, see the Company's Annual Report for 2021 which, alongside the Code of Conduct, is available at www.xvivogroup.com.

Organization and staff

XVIVO employs 113 people, of which 51 women and 62 men. Of these, 46 people are employed in Sweden and 67 outside Sweden. The head office is located in Gothenburg, Sweden and our subsidiaries are located in Lund, Sweden, Denver and Philadelphia, USA and Groningen, The Netherlands. XVIVO also has employees based in several other countries in Europe, the US, China and Australia.

Related party transactions

There were no transactions with related parties during the period.

Risk management

XVIVO works continuously to identify, evaluate, and manage risks in different systems and processes. Risk analyses are carried out continuously regarding normal operations and in connection with activities that are outside XVVO's regular quality system.

The market risks that are deemed to have a particular impact on XVVO's future progress are linked to the availability of financial and medical resources in clinics around the world. Operational risks are risks that limit or prevent XVIVO from developing, manufacturing and selling qualitative, efficient and safe products. The number of organ transplants is marginally affected by seasonal effects. Mainly in new treatment methods such as hot perfusion of lungs, slightly less activity occurs during the summer months due to the fact that training and learning are allowed to stand back during the summer holidays. Legal and regulatory risks may arise from changes in legislation or policy decisions that may affect the Group's ability to conduct or develop the business. Financial risks include exchange rate risks.

The crucial strategic risks and operative risks for the Group is to be found in the Administration report as part of the Annual report for 2020, which is available at www.xvivogroup.com.

Dividend

The Board proposes no dividend to be paid for the 2021financial year and retained earnings to be carried forward.

Outlook

The extent to which the Covid-19 pandemic will affect XVIVO's sales and clinical trials in 2022 remains largely dependent on how the pandemic affects intensive care operations on our main markets in the US and Europe, and on how hospitals prioritize their transplantation programs. There is a clear ambition to sharply increase the number of transplants on markets such as the US, and therefore we assess that transplantation activity will be prioritized. Transplantation is a life-saving treatment with long waiting lists. Accordingly, XVIVO assesses that the number of transplants, and thereby demand for XVIVO's products will continue to increase.

In 2022, XVIVO will continue to focus sharply on regulatory applications, clinical studies and product development in all major organ areas. In heart transplantation, the goal is to accelerate inclusion of patients in the clinical multi-center studies in Europe and Australia. The goal is also to start the clinical heart trial in the US towards the summer. The PrimECC® study is expected to accelerate as more clinics are now being included. For Liver Assist, the initial objective is to make a decision regarding the regulatory way forward in the US, in consultation with the FDA.

Significant events after the reporting period

In January 2022, two very positive events occurred in that the first successful xenotransplantation of heart from pig to human was performed using XVIVO's heart technology, and that XVIVO received regulatory approval in the USfor sale of the product Kidney Assist Transport. These events are further described on page 11. No other events occurred after the end of the reporting period that affect the assessment of the financial information in this report.

Note 5. Acquisition of business

On November 9, 2021, XVIVO acquired 100 percent of the shares and votes of the US organ recovery company, STAR Teams Inc. The acquisition was made at a cash consideration of up to USD 26.1 million, with an initial payment of USD 12.3 million and potential earn-outs of a maximum of USD 13.8 million. Earn-outs are paid on condition that a combination of revenue and gross profit targets in 2023 is met. Should the targets not be met in 2023, a recovery period will begin, where the earn-out is instead based on a combination of revenue and gross profit targets in 2024.

Costs related to the acquisition amounted to SEK 10.0 million and have been charged to Administration costs in the Group's income statement during the fourth quarter of the year.

STAR Teams is a pioneer and the leading US organ recovery company, consisting of a team with more than 15 years of clinical experience, who has successfully retrieved more than 1,200 organs in the US.Currently, STAR Teams is active in lung and heart recovery and plans to expand into kidney and liver in 2022. The expansion is well in line with XVIVO's strategy to become a global provider of solutions and systems for all major organs.

The acquisition date has for administrative reasons been assumed to be 1 November and earnings and cash flow are not included in the consolidated financial statements until this date. During the period following the acquisition, STAR Teams contributed SEK 6.1 million to the Group's revenues and SEK 1.5 million to the Group's earnings in 2021. If the acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2021, this acquisition would have totaled the Group's revenues by SEK 29.9 million and profit for the year by SEK 2.3 million.

The acquisition analysis was preliminary at the end of the fourth quarter. The following table shows preliminary acquisition analysis*.

Reconciliation of alternative performance measures

This report includes key figures not defined in IFRS, but have been included in the report as management considers that this data enables investors to analyze the Group's performance and financial position. Investors should consider alternative ratios as a complement rather than a substitute for financial information under IFRS.

When calculating gross margin, gross profit is first calculated by subtracting the cost of goods sold from net sales. Gross profit is then set in relation to net sales to obtain the gross margin ratio. Gross margin thus indicates profit after cost of goods sold as a proportion of net sales, and is affected by factors such as pricing, raw materials and manufacturing costs, inventory write-downs and exchange rate effects.

Equity consists of share capital, other contributed capital, reserves, retained earnings including profit for the year in the Group and non-controlling interests. The equity/assets ratio indicates equity as a proportion of total assets and is a measure of the proportion of assets financed by equity.

KPI definitions

Key ratio Definition Justification to use of key ratio
Gross margin non-durable
goods, %
Gross income segment non
durable goods as a percentage
of the net sales of segment
non-durable goods.
The company believes that the key ratio
provides an in-depth understanding of the
company's profitability for operations for
non-durable goods. Since the pricing
strategy for durable goods differs from the
pricing strategy from all other operations,
the gross margin is presented separately
from durable goods.
Gross margin, % Gross income as a percentage
of net sales for the period
The company believes that the key ratio
provides an in-depth understanding of the
company's profitability.
EBITDA margin, % Operating income before
depreciation and amortization
as a percentage of net sales for
the period
The company believes that the key ratio
provides an in-depth understanding of the
company's profitability.
Adjusted EBITDA-margin,
%
EBITDA (operating income
before depreciation and
amortization) adjusted for
items affecting comparability,
as a percentage of net sales for
the period.
The Company believes that the key ratio
provides an in-depth understanding of the
Company's profitability. Furthermore, the
Company believes that adjusted EBITDA
gives a fairer picture of the Company's
EBITDA for the core business.
Adjusted EBIT-margin, % EBIT (operating income),
adjusted for items affecting
comparability, as a percentage
of net sales for the period.
The Company believes that the key ratio
provides an in-depth understanding of the
Company's profitability. Furthermore, the
Company believes that adjusted EBIT gives
a fairer picture of the Company's EBIT for
the core business.
Operating margin, % Operating income as a
percentage of net sales for the
period.
The company believes that the key ratio
provides an in-depth understanding of the
company's profitability.
Net margin, % Operating income as a
percentage of net sales for the
period.
The company believes that the key ratio
provides an in-depth understanding of the
company's profitability.
Equity/assets ratio, % Shareholders' equity and non
controlling interests as a
percentage of total assets.
The company believes that the equity/asset
ratio provides an in-depth understanding of
the company's capital structure.
Shareholders' equity per
share, SEK
Shareholders' equity in relation
to the number of shares
outstanding on the reporting
date.
The key ratio has been included to give
investors an overview of how the
company's equity per share has evolved.
Earnings per share, SEK Income for the period in
relation to the average number
of outstanding shares before
dilution for the period.
The key ratio has been included to give
investors an overview of how the
company's earnings per share has evolved.
Earnings per share after
dilution, SEK
Income for the period in
relation to the average number
of outstanding shares after
dilution for the period
The key ratio has been included to give
investors an overview of how the
company's earnings per share after dilution
has evolved.
Rolling 12 months Key ratios calculated from
rolling 12-month values have
been calculated from the past
four rolling interim reports and
accounts.
Rolling 12 months gives a clearer picture of
sales or profitability and a fairer picture of a
key ratio's development.
Organic growth Organic growth is sales growth
from existing business
operations adjusted for
acquisitions and divestments.
An acquisition or a sale is only
included in the calculation of
organic growth when it is
included for an equal number of
months in the present period
and the corresponding period
the previous year. Otherwise it
is included in the calculation of
acquired growth.
Organic growth excludes the effects of
changes in the Group's structure, thus
enabling a comparison of net sales over
time.
Net sales growth in local
currency
Growth in local currencies is
sales growth adjusted for
currency effects, which is
calculated as sales for the
period in local currencies
recalculated at a
predetermined exchange rate
in relation to the corresponding
period the previous year in local
currencies recalculated at the
same exchange rate.
As a large part of XVIVO'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.
