AddLife in brief
AddLife is an independent provider in Life Science that offers high-quality products, services and advice to both the private and public sector in
Europe. The Group is divided into two business areas: Labtech and Medtech. The Group comprises some 45 operating subsidiaries that provide
equipment, instruments, medical devices and reagents, as well as advice and technical support to customers primarily in healthcare, research
and academia, along with the food and pharmaceutical industries.
2 AddLife Interim report 1 January – 31 March 2020
Comments by the CEO The Covid-19 pandemic spreading around the world during the quarter has
led to major, sudden changes in society. How we live, work and socialise is
challenged at the core when communities are locked down and citizens are
quarantined. We have seen war-like conditions in hospitals and severe lack
of medical supplies, personal protective equipment and diagnostic tests.
As a supplier of crucial medical supplies to the healthcare sector, we at
AddLife have had first-hand experience of the effects of the corona crisis.
Despite many challenges, we have successfully delivered large volumes of
high-demand products to healthcare whose personnel have been on the
frontline caring for seriously ill patients. I am humble and incredibly proud
of the commitment and loyalty my colleagues have shown to customers and
how they have struggled to resolve the issues in this extreme situation.
Alongside the acute crisis in healthcare, researchers are intensively
searching for new cures and vaccines, while more and more countries are
beginning to think about how they will return to a more normal life. The experiences from the pandemic will change the
demands for tomorrow’s healthcare, home care and research in Life Science and we can expect increased demands for
self-sufficiency and preparedness in many countries.
The first quarter was strong and demand for our products increased sharply as Covid-19 spread around the world.
Sales rose 25 percent in the first quarter to SEK 1,053m, including organic growth of 12 percent. EBITA increased 51
percent to SEK 106 million and EBITA margin strengthened to 10.0 percent.
For most of our companies, operations changed radically as the Covid-19 outbreak hit Europe. From mid-March,
demand increased sharply with higher orders from particularly health services and diagnostic laboratories. Several of our
companies achieved their best-ever results in March. At the same time, it has been difficult to obtain products from
various manufacturers and to get distribution to work in response to the exceptional increase in demand for similar
products simultaneously, all over the world. We have worked intensively to ensure that all products meet regulatory
requirements and the quality standard that healthcare expects. So far, our companies have found various innovative
solutions in effort to help customers with deliveries of critical products. During the quarter, our subsidiary Mediplast
received orders that were outside normal agreements from both Swedish and Norwegian customers, corresponding to
about SEK 100 million, for personal protective equipment to be delivered over the next two quarters. In many countries,
direct procurements are now used for Covid-19-related products to public customers.
The business situation in research varies by market. Demand from several pharmaceutical companies remains stable,
while we see an increased demand from Covid-19-related research projects which received additional funding. In
contrast, our academic research customers in several markets cut back on purchasing since many countries temporarily
closed their colleges and universities. Demand for welfare technology in Norway and other assistive devices for home
care in the Nordic markets has been high during the quarter. The trend related to the need for increased care in the
home is becoming increasingly apparent.
Once again, our decentralised business model shows tremendous strength. With closeness to the market and
decentralised responsibility, the companies can rapidly adjust, finding business opportunities and new solutions to best
meet the current needs of the customers. A short-term focus is necessary in times of crisis but limits the potential to
offer new solutions for the long-term and several procurement processes have been delayed on the market. A majority
of the employees work from home and meet customers digitally, but we are limited with respect to physical meetings
and providing maintenance and installation services. It is extremely rewarding to see the commitment and initiative
revealed to meet the needs of customers.
Acquisitions
In January we completed the acquisition of EuroClone S.p.A in the Labtech business. The company has 58 employees
and is expected to contribute annual sales of SEK 280 million. The Italian EuroClone is a leading supplier of instruments
and consumables in the field of cell and molecular biology. The acquisition represents the entry into the Italian market in
a segment where AddLife is already an established supplier in the Nordic market through the BioNordika companies.
AddLife is constantly searching for interesting new acquisition candidates and suppliers with Nordic and European
potential, companies that drive the market in our areas Labtech and Medtech.

3 AddLife Interim report 1 January – 31 March 2020
Group development in the quarter Net sales in the quarter increased by 25 percent to SEK 1,053 million (845). Organic growth was 12 percent and
acquired growth totalled 13 percent. Exchange rate changes had a marginal positive impact on net sales, corresponding
to SEK 2.5 million. EBITA increased by 51 percent to SEK 106 million (70) and EBITA-margin amounted to 10.0 percent
(8.3). Exchange rate changes had a positive effect on EBITA of 0.2 percent, corresponding to SEK 0.1 million. Net
financial items amounted to SEK -5 million (-2) and profit after financial items amounted to SEK 69 million (43). Profit
after tax for the quarter increased with 54 percent amounting to SEK 54 million (35) and the effective tax rate was 22
percent (19).
Development in the business areas
Labtech
Companies in the Labtech business are active in the market areas diagnostics, biomedical research and laboratory
equipment.
3 months ending 12 months ending
SEKm 31 Mar 20 31 Mar 19 change 31 Mar 20 31 Dec 19
Net sales 611 504 21% 2,088 1,981
EBITA 72 52 39% 222 202
EBITA-margin, % 11.8 10.3 10.6 10.2
Labtech’s net sales increased by 21 percent in the first quarter to SEK 611 million (504), of which organic growth
increased by 5 percent, acquired growth totalled 16 percent and exchange rate changes had a marginal positive effect.
EBITA increased by 39 percent to SEK 72 million (52), corresponding to an EBITA-margin of 11.7 percent (10.3).
The trend in the Labtech business area continues to be favourable. We had strong organic growth in the diagnostics
businesses, while growth in the research companies was weaker.
Demand was high in several segments within Diagnostics. Growth was primarily driven by the Covid-19 pandemic,
where patient treatment requires an array of tests in addition to the Covid-19 tests that we offer the market. Hospital
ICU departments in particular have increased their consumption of various tests. Our traditional segment Blood Gas
Analysis, which provides important information about pulmonary function, saw strong growth in sales of new
instruments, but especially in reagent consumption during the quarter. Demand for all diagnostic tests is greater than
the supply from manufacturers and the delivery situation is challenging in many cases. During the quarter, reagents
accounted for a higher than normal total proportion of the product mix. Growth was strongest in the diagnostics
businesses in Denmark, Finland, Norway, Poland and Austria during the quarter.
Demand from research companies was robust until the Covid-19 outbreak, at which time the market radically
changed. Several academic customers at universities have reduced their activity and, in several countries, the universities
were closed completely. In contrast, demand from pharmaceutical companies continued to be robust, while demand
from research groups working on projects related to Covid-19 increased. Demand related to food testing has also been
high in several markets. For our subsidiary that delivers its own advanced instruments on an international market, the
lockdown of China in February resulted in lower sales. Sales to Chinese customers account for about 30% of sales in the
company. Newly acquired EuroClone has delivered according to expectations, but the situation in Italy is exactly the
same as in other markets: challenging and difficult to assess moving forward. Growth in the quarter has been strongest
in the research companies in Denmark and Sweden.
4 AddLife Interim report 1 January – 31 March 2020
Medtech
Companies in the Medtech business provides medical device products within the medtech market and assistive
equipment within home healthcare.
3 months ending 12 months ending
SEKm 31 Mar 20 31 Mar 19 change 31 Mar 20 31 Dec 19
Net sales 442 341 30% 1,599 1,498
EBITA 37 22 68% 131 116
EBITA-margin, % 8.3 6.5 8.1 7.7
For the quarter, Medtech’s net sales increased by 30 percent to SEK 442 million (341), including organic growth of
22 percent and acquired growth of 8 percent, while exchange rate fluctuations had a marginally positive effect. EBITA
rose by 68 percent to SEK 37 million (22) and EBITA margin amounted to 8.3 percent (6.5).
Medtech operations had a strong performance during the quarter in the Nordic region and in several of the markets
in Central and Eastern Europe. The Covid-19 pandemic that struck in March has of course had a major impact on the
quarter, and health services in all countries have ordered huge volumes of medical technology products and especially
personal protective equipment for healthcare personnel. Thanks to our strong long-term supplier relationships, we have
been able to offer our contract customers deliveries under both existing agreements as well as extra orders. In addition,
we have identified new suppliers in Asia where our own quality procedures have ensured that the products meet
regulatory requirements and maintain the quality standard that health services expect. The challenges are great since
enormous quantities of the same type of products are in great demand all over the world. For some product groups,
weekly consumption equates normal consumption for a full year. Several new participants have entered the market and
the price picture changes from day to day for the products that are in greatest demand. The situation entails not only a
shortage of production capacity, but also great challenges finding logistics solutions to get the products to Europe. Our
subsidiary Mediplast delivered an extra order of 1 million face masks to Norway. The company also received extra
orders for personal protective equipment corresponding to approximately SEK 100 million outside the usual framework
agreements from Swedish customers in Region Skåne, Stockholm and Västra Götaland, as well as from Sykehusinnkjöp
in Norway, to be delivered over the next two quarters. In addition to personal protective equipment, demand is strong
in several other product areas during the quarter. However, we have seen a slowdown in sales of products for non-
emergency surgery over the past month, as all hospital resources were dedicated to emergency and intensive care
because of the pandemic. Standard surgical procedures are expected to begin in several countries at some point during
the second quarter.
During the quarter, product ownership regarding the entire product portfolio from Wellspect, which was acquired in
2019, was finally registered and the product line is now approved for sale with our CE mark.
Demand and sales growth for various types of assistive equipment for use in home care were strong, completely in
line with expected trends related to the increased need for eldercare. Based on the pandemic, we see orders placed
earlier than expected regarding both various technical aids and welfare technology. During the quarter, we received
several new Norwegian municipal contracts for our welfare technology solution. Our new Norwegian home care
company, Funksjonsutstyr, had a strong start to the new year with several installations of bathroom solutions. In the
Swedish market we had major deliveries of bathroom solutions that origins from our Finnish company. We see clear
sales synergies between various home care companies. Our Finnish home care company continued to have a more
challenging market because of delays in new construction projects for assisted living facilities in Finland.
5 AddLife Interim report 1 January – 31 March 2020
Financial position and cash flow
At the end of the interim period the equity ratio stood at 42 percent (45). Equity per share totaled SEK 53.69 (52.27) and
the return on equity at the end of the financial year was 11 percent (10). Return on working capital, P/WC (EBITA in
relation to working capital) amounted to 54 percent (51).
The Group’s interest-bearing net debt at the end of the interim period totalled SEK 1,102 million (902), including
pension liabilities of SEK 80 million (80) and leasing liabilities of SEK 235 million (215). The net debt/equity ratio,
calculated on the basis of net debt including provisions for pensions and leasing liability, totalled 0.7, compared to 0.6 at
the beginning of the interim period.
Cash and cash equivalents, consisting of cash and bank balances, together with approved but non-utilised credit
facilities, totalled SEK 565 (439) million on 31 March 2020. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was due to AddLife
signing new credit arrangements with Handelsbanken and Danske Bank and therefore increased available credits with
additional SEK 200 million.
Cash flow from operating activities reached SEK 80 million (99) during the interim period. The reduced cash flow
relates to tied up working capital in inventory and trade receivables, in addition to supplier advances related to the
greater deliveries of personal protective equipment due to Covid-19. Acquisitions of companies amounted to SEK 66
million (0). Investments in non-current assets during the interim period amounted to SEK 23 million (17). Disposals of
non-current assets amounted SEK 2 million (1). Repurchase of treasury shares amounted to SEK 31 million (0). Exercised
and issued call options amounted to SEK 0 million (8).
Employees
At the end of the interim period, the number of employees was 1,003, compared to 932 at the beginning of the financial
year. During the period, implemented acquisitions led to an increase of 58 employees. The average number of
employees for the last 12-month period was 927 (903).

* Refers to conditions at the time of acquisition on a full-year basis.
On 28 November 2019 AddLife signed an agreement on the acquisition of 100 percent of the shares in EuroClone S.p.A,
the acquisition became effective a of 8 January 2020. The company is expected to contribute about SEK 280 million to
annual sales. The Italian EuroClone is a leading supplier of instruments and consumables in the field of cell and
molecular biology in Italy. The acquisition represents AddLife’s entry into the Italian market in a segment in which the
company is already an established supplier in the Nordic market.
The effect of the acquisition on the AddLife Group's net sales was SEK 68 million, on EBITA SEK 6 million, on operating
profit SEK 4 million and on profit after tax for the financial year SEK 3 million.
The fair value of not yet paid contingent consideration for acquisitions made during the financial year is calculated to
SEK 14 million, which is approximately 84 percent of the maximum outcome. The outcome depends on the results
achieved in the companies and has a set maximum level.

7 AddLife Interim report 1 January – 31 March 2020
Parent company The Parent Company’s net sales for the interim period amounted to SEK 11 million (8) and profit after financial items
amounted to SEK -1 million (-2). At the end of the interim period, the Parent Company's net financial debt amounted to

Accounting policies
This interim report was prepared in accordance with IFRS and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. Information in
accordance with IAS 34.16A exist, except in the financial statements and the related notes also in other parts of the
interim report. The interim report for the parent company was prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual
Accounts Act (1995:1554) and the Securities Market Act (2007:528) in compliance with recommendation RFR 2
Accounting for Legal Entities of the Swedish Financial Reporting Board. The accounting policies and basis for
calculations applied in the 2019 annual report for AddLife AB were also used in the interim report except for the revised
accounting policies described below. The amendments to IFRSs applicable from January 1, 2020 have no effects to
Addlife's financial reports for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020.
Alternative performance measures AddLife presents certain financial measures in the interim report that are not defined according to IFRS. The Company
believes that these measures provide valuable supplemental information to investors and the Company's management
as they allow for evaluation of trends and the Company’s performance. Since all companies do not calculate financial
measures in the same way these are not always comparable to measures used by other companies. These financial
measures should therefore not be considered as a replacement for measurements as defined under IFRS. This report
provides information in greater detail regarding definitions of financial performance measures.
Transactions with related parties No transactions with related parties that materially affected the Group’s position and earnings took place during the
financial year.
Events after the end of the interim period The Board of Directors has decided to withdraw the dividend of SEK 2.40 per share and instead propose that no
dividend is paid at the time for the annual general meeting. The Board sees an opportunity to call for an extraordinary
general meeting later this year for deciding on a dividend for 2019.
No other events of significance to the Group occurred after the end of the interim period.
Risks and uncertainties AddLife’s earnings and financial position, as well as its strategic position, are affected by various internal factors within
AddLife’s control and various external factors over which AddLife has limited influence. AddLife’s most significant
external risks are the state of the economy and market trends combined with public sector contracts and policy
decisions, as well as competition. The risks and uncertainties are the same as in previous periods. For more information,
see the section “Risks and uncertainties” in the administration report (page 32-36), in AddLife’s annual report 2019.
The Parent Company is indirectly affected by the above risks and uncertainties through its function in the Group.

The fair value and carrying amount are recognized in the balance sheet as shown in the table above.
For quoted securities, the fair value is determined on the basis of the asset’s quoted price in an active market, level 1. As at the
reporting date the Group had no items in this category.
For currency contracts and embedded derivatives, the fair value is determined on the basis of observable market data, level 2.
For contingent considerations, a cash-flow-based valuation is performed, which is not based on observable market data,
level 3. For the Group’s other financial assets and liabilities, fair value is estimated to be the same as the carrying amount.
