CEO comment
New strategy launched
XVIVO had an eventful and intensive third quarter. In August, the company launched a new strategy for the coming five years to support our goal of becoming the global leader in the transplantation industry for all major organs. The strategy focuses on five areas: becoming the global leader in abdominal (kidney and liver); commercializing our unique heart preservation system; increasing penetration of machine perfusion; ensuring cost reimbursement for machine perfusion on key geographical markets and, last but not least; making China our second biggest market in terms of sales during the strategy period.

Dag Andersson, CEO
Total sales were SEK 55 million (43) in the third quarter, corresponding to an increase of 31 percent in local currency. The increase was attributable to the acquisition of Organ Assist which was completed in October last year.Whilst the business area Abdominal presented its strongest quarter for this year, business area Thoracic showed a weaker performance.
Thoracic's sales amounted to SEK 42 million (43) and was affected by low lung transplantation activity in the US due to the continued impact of the Delta variant on intensive care. The first half-year was strong in the US, although after the downturn in the third quarterlung transplantation volumes in the US have now returned to 2020 levels and are 6 percent below 2019.The number of lung transplants in the US during the third quarter was 586, which is a decrease compared to the second quarter by 18 percent. At the beginning of September, nearly 100,000 patients were treated for Covid-19 in U.S. hospitals, and at the beginning of the quarter, the number of patients was only 13,000. At the time of writing, the figure is down to 55,000 and the trend is thus going in the right direction again. We expect a gradual increase in the number of transplants in all markets as the number of new Covid-19 cases decreases.
Lung Bioengineering bought their fourth XPS machine in September, which was pleasing. The company's centralized model for lung perfusion, which supplies several US hospitals with perfusion services, is very successful and something that we expect to see also outside the US. Two new EVLP centers will shortly be activated for lung perfusion in the UK and Germany. This represents a significant advance on both markets, as clinics in these countries have previously mainly used our preservation solution, Perfadex® Plus.
Abdominal presented a strong quarter. Sales was SEK 13 million (-). In the third quarter, hospitals in Abdominal's main markets in southern and central Europe were under less strain than in the US.When it comes to our goal of launching Kidney Assist Transport on the US market, we await final decision on our 510(k) application. We hope to begin a selective launch in the fourth quarter.
XVIVO is presenting another quarter with strong margins. Thoracic's gross margin totaled 78 percent (78) and Abdominal 53 percent (-). Although, raw materials costs are expected to increase in many sectors, including ours, I am confident about our ability to protect Thoracic's margins and significantly improve margins in Abdominal over time. Our unique and world leading products shall generate strong margins.
Another center is now up and running in the European heart preservation study, which means that six centers now include patients in the study. Several further centers are expected to start up in the fourth quarter.
XVIVO has taken the first steps on a digital transformation journey through a partnership with UMC Groningen, where we are developing a technology for the analysis of data collected from liver perfusion machines in a new pilot project. We have also initiated a similar collaboration with a leading US transplant clinic, which aims to develop a technology for analysis of lung transplantation data.
In conclusion, we completed several important marketing activities in the third quarter. In September, XVIVO hosted its first capital markets day. Our five-year strategic plan was presented, which also includes our ambition to achieving an EBIT margin of 20% and EBITDA of 30% in the strategy period.
XVIVO also participated in the ESOT Congress (European Society for Organ Transplantation) in Milan. We had a very strong presence, including a successful symposium on machine perfusion. It was clear at ESOT that it is now generally accepted that machine perfusion is key to ensuring more successful organ transplants, which means that we are well positioned to drive progress in this area on key geographical markets globally.

Summary
The quarter July - September 2021
Net sales and income
We can conclude that the Covid-19 pandemic continued to affect the number of transplants globally in the third quarter of 2021. On several markets, available hospital resources have continued to focus on caring for Covid-19 patients, which means that the number of transplanted organs in some markets has decreased, and more patients than ever are now waiting for a new organ.
Sales development during the quarter was negatively impacted by a decrease in the number of lung transplants in the company's main market, the US. Net sales increased by 29 percent during the quarter, amounting to SEK 54.9 million (42.7). This corresponds to an increase of 31 percent in local currencies. Net sales of non-durable goods increased by 16 percent, amounting to SEK 48.9 million (42.3). The increase corresponds to 18 percent in local currency. The sales growth for the quarter consists of revenues from the Abdominal business area, which was not included in the comparison quarter.For the business area Thoracic, sales were in line with last years quarter.
Machine perfusion accounted for 53 percent (41) of net sales. Static preservation and other sales (revenue from service and training etc.) accounted for the remaining part of sales.
Gross margin for the quarter amounted to 69 percent (78) and gross margin for non-durable goods amounted to 73 percent (78). The decrease is explained by the fact that the comparison quarter does not include the Abdominal business area, which at present displays lower margins than Thoracic.
Operating profit before depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) profit was negatively affected by cash-based incentive programs for employees outside Sweden by SEK -0.1 million and was charged with integration costs of SEK -1.0 million Adjusted for these items totaling SEK -1.1 million (-20.5), EBITDA amounts to SEK 5.3 million (9.3), corresponding to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 10percent (22). Reported EBITDA amounted to SEK 4.2 million (-11.2), corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 8 percent (-26).
Operating income (EBIT) adjusted for the above-mentioned items amounted to SEK -2.9 million (1.8). Reported EBIT amounted to SEK -4.0 million (-18.7).
Selling expenses in relation to sales amounted to 42 percent (32) for the quarter. R&D expenses amounted to 19 percent (26) of sales. Administrative expenses amounted to 16 percent (20) of sales.
The quarter was charged with costs for the integration of Organ Assist. The acquisition was consolidated into XVIVO on October 1, 2020, and since then, the focus has primarily been on integrating the sales and administration functions. During the third quarter, integration costs affected sale expenses by SEK 0.2 million (-) and administration expenses by SEK 0.8 million (-). Work is underway to centralize goods distribution to XVIVO's office in the Netherlands. The work is expected to be completed at the end of the fourth quarter and the integration costs from the acquisition are subsequently expected to cease.
Other operating income and operating expenses amounted to SEK -0.9 million (-18,6) during the quarter. The item primarily consists of currency conversion effects and depreciation. See Note 4 for more information.
Net financial income and expenses for the quarter amounted to SEK 3.0 million (-0.5). This was mainly due to negative currency conversion effects relating to the Group's cash and cash equivalents.
During the quarter, SEK 18.0 million (13.1) of development expenditures were capitalized as intangible assets. Development expenditure in all material respects relates to expenditure in R&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 (3.9) during the quarter, of which SEK 3.9 million (3.9) is attributed to regulatory approvals for the company's products within lung transplantation. The remainder relates to depreciation of R&D projects within the abdominal business.

Cash flow
Cash flow from operating activities for the quarter amounted to SEK -8.5 million (-1.8) and was mainly affected by an increase in the capital tied-up in inventories due to increased production of XPS machines and Kidney Assist Transport machines. Cash flow from investment activities amounted to SEK -20.2 million (-14.6), of which SEK -18.0 million (-13.7) was invested in intangible assets and SEK -1.9 million (-0.9) was invested in tangible assets. Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK -1.4 million (486.1). Exchange differences in cash and cash equivalents had a positive impact on cash flow for the quarter of SEK 3.1 million (-1.2). Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the quarter amounted to SEK 284.5 million (608.4).
Significant events during the quarter
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 CEO together with other senior executives presented the company's strategic focus areas for 2022-2026 and market insights were conveyed by both internal and external presenters. 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 heart preservation 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.
Strong presence at the ESOT Congress in Milan
This year's edition of the European Society for Organ Transplantation (ESOT) congress took place in Milan in the end of August.It was the first major congress held physically since the pandemic outbreak and the event was therefore highly awaited. It was also the first time that XVIVO had the opportunity to demonstrate its overall product portfolio for both Thoracic and Abdominal. Furthermore, XVIVO organized a successful symposium on the topic machine perfusion.
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 period January - September 2021
Net sales and income
We can conclude that the Covid-19 pandemic is continuing to affect the number of transplantations globally in 2021. Available hospital resources have largely focused on caring for Covid-19 patients and thus the number of transplanted organs in several markets has decreased and more patients than ever are now waiting for a new organ.
In XVIVO's main market, the US, the first half of the year showed a strong recovery in the number of lung transplants, but after the decline in the third quarter, this year's transplant volume in the US is now back to 2020 levels and 6 percent below 2019 levels. In Europe, development has been more stable, but regional variation remains high.The number of transplants during 2021 is on the same level as 2020, but just below 2019.
Net sales increased by 44 percent in the period, amounting to SEK 172.5 million (119.6). That corresponds to an increase of 54 percent in local currencies. 30 percent of this increase comes from acquired growth. Net sales of non-durable goods increased by 40percent, amounting to SEK 160.0 million (114.5). The increase corresponds to 50 percent in local currency.
Machine perfusion accounted for 52 percent (36) of net sales. Static preservation and other sales (revenue from service and training etc.) accounted for the remaining part of sales.
Gross margin for the period amounted to 73 percent (77) and gross margin for non-durable goods amounted to 75 percent (79). The decrease is explained by the fact that the comparative period does not include the Abdominal business area, which at present displays lower margins than Thoracic.
Operating profit before depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) was positively affected by the dissolution of a cost provision for cash-based incentive programs for employees outside Sweden of SEK 3.1 million and was charged with integration costs by SEK -5.8 million. Furthermore, the quarter also included costs of SEK -3.4 million attributable to an acquisition process, which the company chose to cancel after due diligence. Adjusted for these items by a net SEK -6.1 million (-22.5), EBITDA amounts to SEK 20.0 million (13.4), corresponding to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 12 percent (11). Reported EBITDA amounted to SEK 13.9 million (-9.1), corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 8 percent (-8).
Operating income (EBIT) adjusted for the above-mentioned items amounted to SEK -4.1 million (-8.8). Reported EBIT amounted to SEK -10.2 million (-31.3).
Selling expenses as a proportion of sales amounted to 37 percent (34) in the period. R&D expenses amounted to 23 percent (34) of sales. Administrative expenses amounted to 20percent (16) of sales. The company received US government support totaling SEK 3.8 million, which has been recognized as reduced personnel expenses mainly in selling expenses and R&D.
The period was charged with costs for the integration of Organ Assist. The acquisition was consolidated into XVIVO on October 1, 2020, and since then, the focus has primarily been on integrating the sales and administrative functions. During the period, integration costs affected sale expenses by SEK 2.5 million (-) and administration expenses by SEK 3.3 million (-).
Other operating income and operating expenses amounted to SEK 3.0 million (-22.8) in the period. The item primarily consists of positive effects from the cash-based incentive program for employees abroad of SEK 3.1 million. The remainder primarily consists of currency conversion effects and depreciation. See Note 4 for more information.
Net financial income and expenses for the period amounted to SEK 6.6 million (0). The positive contribution is mainly due to positive currency conversion effects relating to the Group's cash and cash equivalents.
During the period, SEK 55.1 million (41.6) 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 15.9 million (11.6) in the period, of which SEK 11.6 million (11.6) was attributed to regulatory approvals for the company's products in lung transplantation. The remainder relates to depreciation of R&D projects in the Abdominal business area.

Cash flow
Cash flow from operating activities in the period amounted to SEK -11.5 million (9.7), primarily due to an increase in capital tied up in inventories due to increased production of XPS machines and Kidney Assist Transport machines. One-time items such as costs for acquisition process and payment of cash-based incentive programs for foreign employees have also affected the cash flow.Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -62.5 million (-44.3), of which SEK -55.1 million (-42.5) was invested in intangible assets and SEK -7.1 million (-1.8) was invested in tangible assets. Cash flow from financing activities amounted to net SEK -2.3 million (484.0). Exchange rate differences in the period had a positive cash flow effect of SEK 6.6 million (-1.4). Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period amounted to SEK 284.5 million (608.4).
Financing
XVIVOs operations shall be conducted with a sustainable and efficient capital structure. The company's equity ratio is strong and amounted to 88 percent (93) at the end of the period. The company's total credit facility consists of an overdraft facility, which amounted to SEK 30 million (30) at the end of the period, of which SEK 0.0 million (0.0) was utilized.
Significant events in the reporting period
510(k) application for Kidney Assist Transport filed with the FDA in the US
In the second quarter, XVIVO filed a 510(k) application with the FDA for Kidney Assist Transport, with the aim of obtaining regulatory approval for product sales on the US market later in 2021.
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.
Following the announcement of XVIVO's acquisition of Organ Assist B.V. on 1 October 2020, the filing of a 510(k) application for Kidney Assist Transport is an important milestone in XVIVO's strategy of establishing a commercial presence in abdominal transplantation in the US. In 2019, approximately 62,000 kidney transplants from deceased donors were carried out globally. The US is the largest market by some margin, with approximately 17,500 kidney transplants from deceased donors in 2019.
National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) supports EVLP
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 most positive 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. The interventional procedure program assesses the safety and efficacy of interventional procedures.
Today only one in five donated lungs are used for transplant in the UK. The lack of deceased donor lungs leads to deterioration and death in up to 30 percent of patients awaiting a lung transplant. There are currently 257 patients waiting for a lung transplant in the UK and the average wait is 18 months.
Change in number of shares and votes in XVIVO Perfusion AB (publ)
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. As of 30 September 2021, there were a total of 28,752,397 shares and votes in the company.
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 risk of complications for patients transplanted with a liver donated after circulatory arrest are greater than if the liver comes from a donation after brain death. Because of this, many transplant centers are hesitant to accept donor livers of this kind. This is especially true in the USA where few livers are used from donors after circulatory death compared to countries such as the Netherlands, Belgium and the UK. 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 is CE-marked. XVIVO's goal is to have decided, in dialogue with the FDA, before the end of the year on the regulatory way forward.
First patients transplanted in Australian heart preservation study
Approximately 7,500 heart transplants are performed globally each year. The absence of blood flow and oxygen during donor heart transport may translate into poor patient outcomes after transplantation. The period a donated heart can be stored on ice outside the body is limited to four hours. The detrimental effects of a prolonged out-ofbody time of the donor heart is reflected in an increased rate of complications and impaired survival after transplantation.
The first patients in an investigator-initiated heart preservation study using XVIVOs technology were transplanted during the first quarter of 2021. The study will include Australian and New Zealand transplant centers and is set to investigate whether the novel preservation technology can safely double the transport time for donor hearts beyond the current limit of 4 hours.
XVIVO's innovative preservation method has been developed alongside Professor Stig Steen. The method includes a machine that supplies the cooled heart with continuous circulation of a propriety oxygenated solution during transport. A safety study published in Nature Communications in June 2020 showed that the use of the heart preservation technology developed by Professor Stig Steen is a safe method for preservation of human hearts.
Business area development
XVIVO's operations are conducted in two business areas: Thoracic (lung and heart transplantation) and Abdominal (liver and kidney transplantation). Both business areas conduct commercial and R&D activities.
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 xeno-transplantation.

The quarter July - September 2021
In Abdominal, where the customer base is currently largely focused on certain southern and central European key markets, the pandemic continued to impact sales in the quarter. Pressure on hospitals in several European countries has temporarily restricted sales. Some recovery has been noted in the third quarter, and it is gratifying that sales of durable goods amounted to SEK 3.7 million (-).
Net sales during the quarter amounted to SEK 12.7 million (-). Net sales of non-durable goods amounted to SEK 9.0 million (-). Since XVIVO's abdominal operations were acquired in the fourth quarter of 2020, comparison figures for the Group for the third quarter of 2021 are missing. However, sales were in line with the comparison quarter of the underlying business. Machine perfusion accounted for 100 percent (-) of net sales.
Gross margin of non-durable goods during the quarter amounted to 53 percent (-), an improvement compared to the first two quarters of the year.
The period January - September 2021
Net sales during the period amounted to SEK 34.0 million (-). Net sales of non-durable goods amounted to SEK 27.3 million (-). Since XVIVO's abdominal operations were acquired in the fourth quarter of 2020, comparison figures for the Group for the period January - September 2021 are missing. The underlying business showed organic growth of 28 percent in local currencies. Machine perfusion accounted for 99 percent (-) of net sales.
Gross margin without capital goods during the period amounted to 51 percent (-). Price increases were carried out in the first quarter according to plan, but the positive effect on gross margin is largely temporarily absorbed by increased purchase prices. A supplier change is in progress and the gross margin is expected to be strengthened after regulatory approval as the new products have a lower cost of production.

R&D Portfolio
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 is developing a program of clinical multicenter studies. These will form the basis for an application for regulatory approval for the products on all major global markets.In Europe, six clinics are currently actively enrolling patients in the XVIVO study. Another five clinics are in the start-up phase. During 2021. several centers contacted XVIVO requesting to participate. A similar multicenter study is also at the planning stage in the US, where the company received 'breakthrough device designation' by the FDA. In addition to the studies carried out by XVIVO, another Swedish research-initiated study is also underway using XVIVO's technology. A research initiated study is also in progress in Australia, where the two biggest clinics of the country are including patients. |
| Kidney transplantation |
Like for other organs, there is a shortage of transplantable kidneys. Studies have demonstrated that transport of kidneys with ongoing perfusion improves post-transplant outcomes in many cases. An international high-quality study was published in The Lancet in the fourth quarter of 2020. The study shows significant benefits for the recipient when the kidney is transported perfused with an oxygenated solution. This is the technology unique for XVIVO. |
The company's application for regulatory approval in the United States is in the final phase. The combination of new perfusion technology and solutions will be the focus of future research in the organ field. |
| 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 and XVIVO is the only market operator offering this unique technology. Future research in the field will focus on the combination of new perfusion technology and solutions. |
| 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 clinical results can be demonstrated. The company is awaiting product launch until the results of the current expanded study has been analyzed. Applications to include centres in Denmark, Norway and Germany in the study are under consideration by ethics committees. |
Research projects
| Project | Description | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Xeno-transplantation | Xeno-transplantation involves the use of non-human organs in transplantation. The method is currently at the research stage for several organs. |
XVIVO's technology for preserving heart function is currently used continuously by two world-leading research teams and has been crucial for attaining successful outcomes when genetically modified hearts from pig are transplanted into primates. |
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 2020 which, alongside the Code of Conduct, is available at www.xvivogroup.com.
Organization and staff
XVIVO employs 94 people, of which 44 women and 49 men. Of these, 43people are employed in Sweden and 51 outside Sweden. The head office is located in Gothenburg, Sweden and our subsidiaries are located in Lund, Sweden, Denver, 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.
Nomination Committee for the 2022 Annual General Meeting
The following members have been appointed to XVIVO Perfusion's Nomination Committee for the 2022 Annual General Meeting:
Henrik Blomquist, appointed byBure Equity AB Thomas Ehlin, appointed by The Fourth Swedish National Pension Fund Caroline Sjösten, appointed by Swedbank Robur Fonder AB Gösta Johannesson, Chairman of the Board
The appointments have been made in accordance with the instructions regarding principles for the appointment of the company Nomination Committee which were determined at the Annual General Meeting of XVIVO Perfusion AB (publ) on April 27, 2018. The members of the Nomination Committee together represent 32 percent of the votes attached to all voting shares in the company as of August 31, 2021.
Outlook
The extent to which the Covid-19 pandemic will affect our sales and clinical trials during the remainder of 2021 and during 2022 is largely determined by the speed of the vaccine roll-out globally, and how fast intensive care in the company's main markets in the US and Europe return to normal capacity. The fourth quarter has started in the US with a continued positive trend. The number of patients being treated for Covid-19 in US hospitals has
continued to decline and the number of lung transplants has started to rise again.Transplantation is a lifesustaining treatment and transplants are prioritized by health authorities around the world and for this reason, the company estimates that the number of transplants, and thus demand for XVIVO's products, will continue to increase long-term.
During the fourth quarter of 2021, XVIVO will continue to focus sharply on regulatory applications, clinical studies and product development in all major organ areas. The company aims to obtain regulatory approval for the Kidney Assist Transport in the US in the fourth quarter. For Liver Assist, the goal towards the end of 2021 is to, in dialogue with the FDA, decide on the regulatory way forward in the US. In heart transplantation, the goal is to take major steps forward in the multicenter clinical studies in Europe, the US and Australia. The PrimECC® study is expected to accelerate as more clinics are now included.

Review report
To the Board of Directors of XVIVO Perfusion AB (publ.)
Corp. id. 556561-0424
Introduction
We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of XVIVO Perfusion AB (publ.) as of 30 September 2021 and the nine-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the 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 International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information 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 and other generally accepted auditing practices and consequently does 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, for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.

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.
