Many highlights in the first quarter
The first quarter of the year was positive in several respects. Sales of machine perfusion in Thoracic totaled SEK 21 million, an increase of 45 percent year-on-year. In the US, the AOPO (the Association of Organ Procurement Organizations) presented a new groundbreaking target of increasing the number of transplants by 50 percent in the period until 2026, which creates important business opportunities for XVIVO. The main highlight in the first quarter was an article in the New England Journal of Medicine in February which emphasized the significant advantages of oxygenated perfusion of liver before transplantation.

Dag Andersson, CEO
Sales totaled SEK 58 million (46), corresponding to an increase of 38 percent in local currency. The Covid-19 pandemic has continued to have an effect on global healthcare. During the first quarter, we could see some recovery in the number of transplants, primarily on the American market.
Thoracic presented a strong first quarter for machine perfusion, driven by positive progress in North America, which was pleasing. In Abdominal, preparations have started ahead of the coming launch of Kidney Assist Transport in Europe and the US. We expect to submit an application to the US Food and Drug Administration, FDA, shortly. Following approval by the FDA, our commercial organization will be ready to roll out this important product to customers. Price increases have been undertaken according to plan within both Thoracic and Abdominal.
In the US, our most important market, the AOPO (the Association of Organ Procurement Organizations) presented a new target on 18 February. The goal is to increase the number of transplantations in the US by 50 percent in the period until 2026, from today's levels to 50,000 transplantations annually. The goal will be achieved through an increased rate of utilization of donated organs and a sharper focus on innovation. For XVIVO, this is likely to imply significant growth opportunities.
In January, respected scientific publication the New England Journal of Medicine published an article that demonstrated that oxygenated machine perfusion of donated liver has a significant positive effect on posttransplant results. The machine used in the study is CE-marked by XVIVO and is uniquely positioned as the only machine on the market for double oxygenated cold perfusion of liver. This is a major success for XVIVO and an important step in our strategy of becoming the world leader in transplantation in all major organ areas. Our goal is to apply for regulatory approval by the FDA before the end of the year.
We are seeing an increased rate of inclusion in the European heart preservation study. University Hospital AKH in Vienna, one of Europe's largest transplantation centers, has been recruited as the ninth participating center. In the Australian investigator-driven heart preservation study, the first patients received transplants in the quarter. This study is based on a critical question, namely whether XVIVO's heart preservation method can double the maximum period a heart can be transported between donor and recipient with maintained safety. To conclude, Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen will be added to the hospitals included in the PrimECC study. Interest in this study remains significant and it is pleasing that Scandinavia's largest center for heart surgery is now participating.
From April, XVIVO is rolling out a new brand identity that clarifies who we are, what we do and where we are heading. Our vision that no one should need to die while waiting for a new organ has been complemented with a purpose: "Extending Horizons in Organ Transplantation". We are updating our logo and the new design communicates precision, forward motion and technology, but is still warm and human.

²) Adjusted for positive effect from decrease of cost provision attributable to cash-based incentive program for employees outside of Sweden, SEK
7,1 million, and integration costs amounting SEK -2,2 million. Net adjustment totals SEK 4,9 (2,5) million for the quarter.
Overview
January - March 2021
Net sales and income
Net sales increased by 26 percent during the second quarter and amounted to SEK 58.3 million (45.5). That corresponds to an increase of 38 percent in local currencies. Net sales of non-durable goods increased by 24 percent and amounted to SEK 54.9 million (44.2). The increase corresponds to 36 percent in local currency.
We can conclude that the Covid-19 pandemic continued to affect the number of transplantations globally in the first quarter of 2021. Available hospital resources have largely focused on caring for Covid-19 patients and thereby the number of transplanted organs have decreased and waiting lists grown.
Organic sales growth amounted to 10 percent in local currencies. Acquired growth amounted to 28 percent in local currencies.
Machine perfusion constituted 53 percent (31) 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 73 percent (76) and gross margin of non-durable goods amounted to 75 percent (79). The decrease is explained partly by the fact that the comparison quarter does not include the Abdominal business area, which margins are lower than Thoracic, and partly by a changed product mix as sales of static preservation was lower than for the comparison quarter.
Operating profit before depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) profit was positively affected by the dissolution of a cost provision for cash-based incentive programs for employees outside Sweden by SEK 7.1 million and was charged with integration costs by SEK 2.2 million. Adjusted for these items with a net of SEK 4.9 million (2.5), adjusted EBITDA amounts to SEK 6.3 million (5.1), corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 11 percent (11). Reported EBITDA amounted to SEK 11.2 million (7.6), corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 19 percent (16).
Operating income (EBIT) adjusted for the above-mentioned itemsamounted to SEK -1,8 million (2.5). Reported EBIT amounted to SEK 3.2 million (0.0).
Selling expenses in relation to sales amounted to 34 percent (32) for the quarter. R&D expenses amounted to 27 percent (36) of sales. Administrativeexpenses amounted to 19 percent (12) 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 first quarter, integration costs affected sale expenses by SEK 1.0 million (-) and administration expenses by SEK 1.1 million (-). During the second quarter, work on centralizing distribution of goods to XVIVO´s office in the Netherlands will be intensified. The work is expected to be completed at the beginning of the third quarter and as of that, the integration costs from this acquisition are expected to cease.
Other operating income and operating expenses amounted to SEK 6.8 million (2.0) during the quarter. The item primarily consists of positive effect from the cash-based incentive program for employees abroad of SEK 7.1 million. The remainder primarily consists of currency conversion effects and depreciation. See Note 4 for more information.
Net financial income and expenses for the quarter amounted to SEK 5.1 million (6.6). The positive contribution is mainly due to positive effects in currency conversion of the Group's cash and cash equivalents.
During the quarter, SEK 16.0 million (15.3) ofdevelopment expenses 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 expenditures amounted to SEK 5.2 million (3.9) during the quarter, of which SEK 3.9 million (3.9) is attribution of regulatory approvals for the company's products within lung transplantation. The remainder relates to depreciation of R&D projects within the abdominal business.

Cashflow
Cash flow from operating activities during the quarter amounted to SEK 10.3 million (9.2), primarily as a result of the positive operating income during the quarter. Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -19.5 million (-15.9), of which SEK-16.7 million (-15.3) was invested in intangible assets and SEK -2.7 million (-0.5) was invested in tangible assets. Cash flow from financing activities amounted to net SEK -1.0 million (-1.5). Exchange rate translation in the quarter had a positive effect on the cash flow by SEK 6.3 million (6.8). Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the quarter amounted to SEK 350.3 million (158.7).
Financing
XVIVOs operations shall be conducted with a sustainable and efficient capital structure. The company's equity/assets ratio is strong and amounted to 87 percent (91) at the end of the period. The company's total credit facility consist of an overdraft facility which at the end of the period amounted to SEK 30 million (30), of which SEK 0.0 million (0.0) was used.
Significant events during the quarter
Publication in The New England Journal of Medicine shows complications after liver transplantation significantly reduced with cold, oxygenated machine perfusion
An article published in the scientific journal The New England Journal of Medicine, shows that oxygenated perfusion of the donated liver before transplantation has a significant positive impact on the outcomes after transplantation. The article presents the results from a study performed by a large international consortium of liver transplant centers, lead by 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 to 2 hours of cold oxygenated machine perfusion after static cold storage. The main purpose of the study was to investigate the presence of bilary 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 the patients that received a machine perfused liver developed biliary complications, compared to 18 percent in the static cold storage group. Furthermore, recipients of a machine perfused liver were less likely to develop compromised hemodynamics after graft reperfusion (so called post-reperfusion syndrome) and had the incidence of early graft dysfunction reduced by nearly half.
The risk of complications for patients that are 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 centres 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 in countries such as the Netherlands, Belgium and the UK. The machine perfusion technology used in the trial prevents complications after transplant and has the potential to increase the number of transplanted patients.
The Liver Assist device that was used for oxygenated perfusion in the trial, is CE-marked. XVIVO intends to submit an application for regulatory approval of the device to the FDA before the end of 2021.
First patients transplanted in the Australian heart preservation study
In the approximately 7,500 heart transplants performed in the world each year the absence of blood flow and oxygen during donor heart transport may translate into poor patient outcome after transplantation. The time that the donated heart may be stored on ice outside of the body is limited to four hours. The detrimental effects of a prolonged out-of-body 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 trial including Australian and New Zealand transplant centers will investigate if the novel preservation technology may safely double the transport time for donor heart beyond the current limit of 4 hours.
XVIV Os novel preservation method includes a machine that supplies the 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 this heart preservation technology developed by Professor Stig Steen is a safe method for preservation of human hearts.
Business area development
Thoracic
Business area Thoracic consists of XVIVO's lung and heart transplantation business. Within 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. Within heart transplantation, XVIVO's products are in a clinical study phase. Some pre-clinical salestake place in heart transplantation - mainly within xeno-transplantation.

January - March 2021
Net sales during the quarter were in line with the previous year and amounted to SEK 46.4 million (46.5). In local currencies, this represented growth of 10%. Net sales of non-durable goods decreased by 1 percent to SEK 43.8 million (44.2). In local currencies, however, this represented growth of 9%. During the quarter, one XPS machine was sold to a clinic in Louisville, US.
Machine perfusion accounted for 42 percent (31) of net sales. The increase was primarily driven by a recovery at the established EVLP-clinics in the US. Static preservation and other sales accounted for the remainder of net sales.
Gross margin for the quarter was 79 percent (76). Gross margin of non-durable goods was 82 percent (79). The increases are primarily explained by implemented price increases on the US market in the fourth quarter of 2020 and the European market in the first quarter of 2021.
Abdominal
Business area Abdominal consists of XVIVO's business within liver and kidney transplantation. XVIVO offers machine perfusion products for both organs. They are currently sold in Europe, but also in smaller markets outside North America.

January - March 2021
Net sales during the quarter amounted to SEK 11.9 million (-). Net sales of non-durable goods amounted to SEK 11.1 million (-). Since XVIVO's abdominal operations were acquired in the fourth quarter of 2020, there are no comparative figures for the Group for the first quarter of 2021. The underlying business showed organic growth of 35 percent. Machine perfusion constituted 96 percent (-) of net sales.
Gross margin of non-durable goods was 51 percent (-). Price increases were implemented according to plan during the first quarter, but the positive effect on the gross profit margin is temporarily absorbed by increased purchase prices. A change of supplier is in progress and the gross margin is estimated to be strengthened after receiving regulatory approval as the new products have a lower manufacturing cost.

R&D Portfolio
Developement projects
| Project | Description | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Heart transplantation | What primarily limits how many people can receive a heart transplant today is the number available, and with today's technology, usable donated organs, in combination with the time that a donated heart can be outside the body. In collaboration with Professor Stig Steen, XVIVO has developed a holistic solution consisting of fluids and machinery that better preserve the function of the donated heart during transport and thus can contribute to improved results after heart transplantation. |
XVIVO is developing a program of clinical multicentre studies. These will form the basis for the application for regulatory approval for the products in all major markets in the world. In Europe, four clinics are now actively including patients at a rate that increased during the quarter. Patients are selected by lottery to be transplanted either with donated hearts transported by XVIVO's method or preserved by conventional ice-box method. A similar multicentre study is also in the planning phase in the US, where the company has received a breakthrough device designation from FDA. In addition to the studies conducted by XVIVO, another Swedish research- initiated study is also conducted using XVVO's technology. A research-initiated study in Australia transplanted its first patients during the first quarter. |
| Kidney transplantation |
Similarly toother organs, there is a shortage of transplantable kidneys. Studies have demonstrated that transport of kidneys with ongoing perfusion in many cases improves post-transplant outcomes. The optimal method for transporting donated kidneys is being studied in several ongoing international studies. |
An international study of high quality was published in The Lancet in the fourth quarter of 2020. The study demonstrates significant benefits for the recipient when the kidney is transported perfused with an oxygenated solution. This technology is unique for XVIVO and the company intends to apply for regulatory approval in the US during the second quarter of 2021. The combination of new perfusion technology and solutions will be the focus of future research in the organ field. |
| Liver transplantation | Similarly toother organs, there is a shortage of transplantable livers. By preserving and evaluating the function of donated liver in an optimized way, potentially more organs with good function could be transplanted. Studies have shown that oxygenated perfusion of the liver before transplantation in some cases reduces the risk of serious complications. |
Study results published in The New England Journal of Medicine in the first quarter of 2021 demonstrate significant benefits of oxygenated machine perfusion of the liver prior to transplantation in post-cardiac donation (DCD). XVIVO's technology was used in the study and XVIVO is the only actor on the market that offers this unique technology. Work to apply for regulatory approval in the US for the company's products will be intensified during the year. The combination of new perfusion technology and solutions will be the focus of future research in the field. |
| PrimECC® | PrimECC® is a fluid developed in collaboration with Professor Stig Steen and is intended for use in a so- called heart-lung machine. Before connecting the cardiopulmonary machine to a patient, the machine must be filled with fluid, today usually simple saline solutions. In 2016 and 2017, a randomized clinical trial was conducted on 80 patients indicating reduced side effects related to the use of cardiac lung machine when using PrimECC®. |
XVIVO has patents for PrimECC® in the key markets USA, EU, China, and Japan. Several hundred thousand heart surgeries are performed annually, which means great sales potential if good clinical results can be demonstrated. The company is awaiting product launch until the results of the current expanded study in Sweden has been analysed. During the first quarter of 2021, patients continued to be included at Sahlgrenska University Hospital, and Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen was recruited as additional study center. |
Research projects
| Project | Description | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Xeno-transplantation X |
Xeno-transplantation involves the use of non-human organs in transplantation. The method is currently in the research stage for several organs. |
XVIVO's technology for preserving heart function is currently used continuously by two world-leading research groups and has been crucial for successful results 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 is 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.xvivoperfusion.com.
Organization and staff
XVIVO employs 88 people, whereof 37 women and 51 men. Of these, 39 people are employed in Sweden and 49 outside Sweden. The head office is located in Gothenburg, Swedenand 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
During the period, no transaction with related parties has been carried out.
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 development 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 currency 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.xvivoperfusion.com.
Annual general meeting
The Annual General Meeting of XVIVO Perfusion AB (publ) will be held on April 22, 2021 at 15:00. in Gothenburg. XVIVO cares about the health and well-being of its shareholders and employees. It is important for the Company to take social responsibility and help limit the risk of spreading Covid-19. As a precautionary measure, XVIVO intends to keep the Annual General Meeting short and effective. A speech by the CEO will be posted on the Company's website after the end of the meeting. Furthermore, the issues at the meeting will be concentrated on the decision items on the agenda. Shareholders should carefully consider using the possibility of advance voting and the possibility to participate by proxy.
The following have been appointed to be part of XVIVOs Nomittee for the 2021 Annual General Meeting:
Henrik Blomquist, appointed by Bure Equity AB Martin Lewin, appointed by Eccenovo AB Caroline Sjösten, appointed by Swedbank Robur Fonder AB Gösta Johannesson. Chairman of the Board
The above have been appointed in accordance with the principles adopted at the 2018 Annual General Meeting on April 27th 2018. The Nomination Committee represents 30 percent of the total number of votes as per August 31st 2020.
Outlook
XVIVO can conclude that the Covid-19 pandemic continued to affect the number of transplantations globally in the first quarter of 2021. Available hospital resources have largely focused on caring for Covid-19 patients and thereby the number of transplanted organs have decreased and waiting lists grown. The impact on sales and studies for the remainder of 2021 will depend on to what extent the pandemic affects intensive care on the main markets in the US and Europe. Transplantation is a life-sustaining 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 the demand for XVIVO's products, will continue to increase long-term.
In 2021, XVIVO will continue to focus sharply on regulatory applications, clinical studies and product development in all major organ areas. In the second quarter, the Company intends to submit a 510k application to the FDA for regulatory approval in the US for Kidney Assist Transport. For Liver Assist, the aim is to file an application for deNovo approval to the FDA towards the end of 2021. In heart transplantation, the goal is to take significant steps forward in the clinical multi-center studies in Europe, the US and Australia. The PrimECC® study in Sweden is expected to accelerate in line with pressure on intensive care easing.

When calculating the 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. The gross margin thus indicates the proportion of net sales traded in profit after the cost of the goods sold, and is affected by factors such as pricing, raw material and manufacturing costs, inventory write-downs and exchange rate developments.

| Equity/assets ratio % | 87 | 88 |
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 is calculated by placing equity in relation to the total assets and is thus 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. |
