Vitrolife AB (publ): Interim report January - March 2020: Good growth but uncertain second quarter

08:00 / 23 April 2020 Vitrolife Press release

First quarter
  • Sales amounted to SEK 334 (312) million, corresponding to an increase of 7 percent in SEK. Sales increased by 5 percent in local currency and consisted of organic growth.
  • Operating income before depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) amounted to SEK 116 (126) million, corresponding to a margin of 35 (40) percent. Fluctuations in exchange rates positively impacted EBITDA by SEK 10 million.
  • Net income amounted to SEK 80 (86) million, which gave earnings per share of SEK 0.74 (0.79).
After the end of the period
  • Large reduction in inflow of orders due to covid-19 during the beginning of the second quarter. Sales during the first weeks of April amounted to approximately a third of those in the corresponding period the previous year. In the company's assessment, the second quarter will be very weak.
  • Due to the great uncertainty prevailing from the extensive spread of covid-19, Vitrolife's Board decided to postpone the Annual General Meeting to a later date. The Annual General Meeting will be held in accordance with current legislation.
