ADDvise An acquisition story unfolding

Gaining from demographic tailwinds An investment in ADDvise offers exposure to defensive assets in a market favoured by demographic factors, such as a growing and ageing population in the Nordics, which is likely to drive further increases in healthcare expenditure. Based on the strong fundamentals, we see opportunities for many life science companies to capture organic growth in the coming years, including ADDvise, which has direct exposure to the market dynamics through its two business units, Lab and Healthcare.

Leveraging on a scalable business model Acquisitions are an integral part of ADDvise’s business model and the company has, in the past few years, proven its ability to rapidly grow sales by acquiring and integrating targets within its niche markets. Its decentralised business model is highly scalable, as implied by the ambitious financial targets: the company aims for annual sales growth in excess of 20%. We model a front-end loaded sales CAGR of 14.8% between 2016 and 2024E, lifting sales from SEK 192m to SEK 588m during our forecast period.

Profitability on the rise Increased scale also allows higher profitability, partly due to synergies, but also because of lower financial costs. ADDvise has successfully improved its profitability and the new financial targets point to further potential ahead. Our research implies the EBITDA margin (adj.) could expand from 4.7% in 2016 (adjusted for acquisition-related items) to 10.0% in 2024E.

Valuation Based on our fundamental DCF approach, with variations in sales growth, EBIT margin and WACC assumptions, we derive an equity value per share of SEK 1.5 to SEK 4.7. This implies a 2019E EV/EBITDA of 6.7-10.7x and a 2019E P/E of 5.7-17.9x.

Factors to consider when investing in ADDvise An investment in ADDvise gives exposure to defensive assets in the Life Science segment, a market that is favoured by demographic factors such as an ageing and growing population. To further leverage on the structural growth prospects, ADDvise has an ambitious agenda to increase sales through its acquisition-driven business model. Since the strategy was initiated in 2010, the company has had a sales CAGR of above 30%. Increased scale also allows ADDvise to improve its margins by capitalising on synergies, due to the scalability of the decentralised business model and reduced financing costs, which will gradually contribute positively to the bottom line.

We have identified a number of key themes describing the investment case in ADDvise

We consider the following factors to be key when evaluating an investment in ADDvise:

• Defensive assets favoured by changing demographics, such as a growing and ageing population in the Nordics, leading to solid organic growth prospects for decades to come.

• Acquisitions are an integral part of the business model and will also be the key to reaching the company’s growth targets. ADDvise has a well-specified M&A model, which allows smooth integration and gradual synergy extraction.

• Newly adopted long-term financial targets show the company’s high ambition for annual revenue growth to exceed 20%. Acquisitions will underpin this growth story and we estimate a sales CAGR of 14.8% between 2016 and 2024E, with quite front-end loaded contributions from acquisitions.

• Profitability is, according to our forecasts, expected to increase, partly via synergies but also through lower financial costs for the group. The new financial targets also open the door for potential dividends over time.

Key risk factors:

• ADDvise is dependent on its ability to attract, keep and motivate key personnel, especially its top management.

• The company’s clear M&A agenda could bring the risk of overpaying or incurring high costs related to integrating new acquisitions.

• Related to its growth strategy, the company’s financial position and future funding needs are key to reaching its ambitious targets.

• ADDvise is, to some extent, reliant on general market conditions in the Nordics, and Sweden in particular (constituting 69% of sales in H1 2017).

Structural growth in the underlying market

Global medtech market estimated to grow at 5% a year until 2020

Structural factors support long-term growth The key structural growth driver of ADDvise’s operations is favourable demographics, as this affects demand for both of the company’s business units: Lab and Healthcare. SCB forecasts that the number of individuals above 65 years of age in Sweden will grow by 50% and reach three million in the next 30‐40 years. In the next few years alone, Sweden will see large cohorts of baby boomers turning 80.

In a global setting, ADDvise states that the medtech market is estimated to grow at an annual rate of 5% until 2020. In addition, an increasing amount of research activities is being migrated to labs, meaning that new facilities need to be constructed and that existing facilities need to be modernised, supporting demand in the Lab business unit. We assume an organic growth contribution of 2% annually, based on historical numbers and the focus on rather mature businesses.

Acquisitions will continue to be the key driver of future growth

The new growth strategy has yielded a sales CAGR of above 30% between 2011 to 2016

A well-specified model to integrate companies and gradually recover synergies

Scale advantages from a decentralised business model ADDvise has been on a transformative journey, with rapidly increasing sales since its acquisition strategy was introduced in 2010. Helped by the well-specified business model, the company aims to continue to grow, and further acquisitions will be integral in the future, as the company pursues its newly adopted financial targets.

ADDvise targets life science companies with revenue of SEK 30-100m within its niche markets, Lab and Healthcare. Its targets are mature companies with strong cash flows and mainly B2B sales. While Sweden is ADDvise’s primary market, the search for acquisitions is on a global scale, as evidenced by the acquisition of US company Surgical Tables Inc in 2014. ADDvise is continuously working with an extensive list of potential additions to the group and sources its targets primarily through dealers and advisors. Historically, it has executed one to two transactions per year and the company has, on the back of these acquisitions, seen a sales CAGR of 31.2% between 2011 and 2016. Multiples paid have varied depending on the target company, but have on average been about 4x EV/EBITDA.

ADDvise’s acquisition model includes a methodical integration process to allow gradual synergy recognition. As the company operates in a decentralised fashion, this allows a high degree of operational control for the subsidiaries, enabling them to benefit from ADDvise’s scale while focusing on their core skills within their niche markets. It also frees up time and allows senior management to focus on identifying and completing new deals.

Ambitious target of 20% annual sales growth

Ambitious financial targets ADDvise adopted long-term financial targets for the first time in September 2017. We believe these targets further demonstrate the company’s strong ambition to grow its top line with increasing profitability. These targets include an ambitious revenue goal of annual growth exceeding 20%. Considering that organic growth has been in the low single digits historically, acquisitions are likely to remain at the top of management’s agenda and represent the bulk of the targeted sales increase.

We model a sales CAGR of 14.8%, 2 pp out of which is organic growth, for the period between 2016 and 2024E, as ADDvise continues to deliver on its strategy and pursues acquisitions to complement its offering and expand its geographical reach.

EBITDA margin has improved ..but the company sees additional upside

Profitability on the rise ADDvise’s EBITDA margin development has followed a positive trend, going from 0.1% in 2011 to 4.7% in 2016 (adjusted for acquisition-related costs), helped by its new growth strategy. The increasing profitability is mainly the result of the scalable business model and synergies realised from its earlier acquisitions. Its long-term financial target of a 10% EBITDA margin also indicates that the company sees further margin upside ahead.

Another advantage from scaling up the business is on the funding side. On 15 September 2017, ADDvise announced that it would refinance its SEK 87m bond and in the process lower its interest rate from 10% to 7.25%. The new five-year bond will be issued at a nominal amount of SEK 100m, including a potential tap-on of up to SEK 240m to finance potential acquisitions. The company estimates that this refinancing will save SEK 2.4m annually in interest costs, which will trickle down to the bottom line. This might also allow for potential dividends in the future and the company has indicated an ambition to return up to 25% of the pre-tax profit to its shareholders in the future.

If the company is able to deliver on its growth ambitions, we see further potential for it to reduce financial costs thanks to scale benefits and lowered leverage. One example could be access to other financing sources, such as bank lending. After year three, ADDvise is able to redeem its new bond without paying any penalty costs. In our model, we assume interest costs will come down to 5% from 2021E. This is based on expectations of increased profitability, lower leverage and access to other financing sources, including bank loans.

Our DCF valuation indicates a fair value range of SEK 1.5-4.7 per share

Valuation Based on the assumption that the company can deliver in line with our expectations, we estimate a fair value range of SEK 1.5-4.7 per share based on variations in sales growth, EBIT margins and weighted average cost of capital (WACC). We derive our fair value from our fundamental DCF framework.

A full description of the risk factors we find most relevant for ADDvise is provided on pages 51-52

Risk factors ADDvise relies on a number of key employees, especially its CEO and large shareholder Rikard Akhtarzand, and losing their knowledge could affect operations.

As ADDvise has a clear M&A agenda, the company’s future sales and profit growth is thus dependent on management’s ability to source and complete new deals. Other potential risks related to acquisitions are those of overpaying and of integrating new acquisition targets.

Related to its acquisition-driven growth strategy is the company’s financial position and future funding needs. ADDvise has a growth-oriented business model that is dependent on securing sufficient funding. Failure to do so might affect its plans for future growth. The company is currently refinancing its outstanding bond of SEK 87m (10% yield) with a bond of SEK 100m (7.25% yield).

Recent acquisitions have largely been financed by the proceeds from the first bond issuance, but also by a number of equity issues, which potentially dilute the holdings of existing shareholders. To be able to deliver on its growth targets, the company might need additional funding, and failure to secure such financing might affect the operations.

Finally, ADDvise is somewhat dependent on general market conditions in the Nordics, particularly in Sweden (69% of total sales in H1 2017). And as such, an economic downturn in the region might affect investments by its customers, implying lower sales for ADDvise. We provide a full description of the main risk factors we find relevant for ADDvise on pages 51-52.

Valuation Primarily using a fundamental DCF valuation and assuming a WACC of 8.0-10.0%, we derive an equity value range of SEK 1.5-4.7 per share. This implies 2019E EV/EBITDA of 6.7-10.7x and 2019E P/E of 5.7-17.9x. Note that our valuation is based on a long-term analysis and is not linked to a near-term assessment of the performance of the company. Based on the current share price and our estimates, ADDvise trades at 2019E EV/EBITDA of 7.5x and 2019E P/E of 8.0x.

Our valuation approach is primarily based on a DCF framework

We derive an equity value of SEK 1.5 to SEK 4.7 per share for ADDvise

One of the most common ways to value the attractiveness of an investment opportunity is the discounted cash flow (DCF) method. A DCF model discounts all available cash flows for equity, bond and non‐equity holders at the weighted average cost of capital (WACC). In other words, WACC represents a blended cost of capital for all invested capital in the company. In fundamental terms, a DCF framework is built on three parts:

• Discounting the company’s free cash flow at WACC.

• Identifying the value of debt and other non‐equity claims on the enterprise value.

• Deducting all claims to determine the value of the common equity. The fair value per share is then simply calculated by dividing the equity value by the number of outstanding shares.

A DCF valuation is commonly considered among academics and practitioners to be the best way to capture the underlying fundamental drivers of a company such as cost of capital, growth rates, reinvestment rates etc. If applied correctly, it represents the best way to approximate the true intrinsic value of a company. The main appeal of a DCF framework compared with other valuation methodologies is that it also focuses on streams of cash rather than accounting earnings. Its main disadvantage is its relative sensitivity to changes in input values.

We rely primarily on our fundamental DCF framework to derive an equity valuation range of SEK 1.5-4.7 per share, which implies a 2019E EV/EBITDA valuation of 6.7-10.7x. Our valuation does incorporate assumptions of future acquisitions. We also provide a relative valuation approach, but note that none of ADDvise’s competitors is among these peers, so this should be treated more as a sanity check. ADDvise is also considerably smaller than the companies used in our peer valuation.

Our DCF valuation range is based on variations in sales, EBIT margin and WACC assumptions

Fundamental valuation In the following table we set out the general assumptions that we use to calculate our DCF value. Based on the assumption that ADDvise can deliver broadly in line with our forecasts, with variations in sales growth, EBIT margin and WACC assumptions, we arrive at a fair equity value range of SEK 1.5-4.7 per share. In the terminal period, we model WACC equal to ROIC and 2.5% growth.

Our DCF value with different WACC and EBIT margin assumptions

We rely on EV/EBIT and P/E multiples for our relative valuation

Valuation multiples We contend that a relative valuation based on EV/EBIT and P/E provides the best benchmark for valuing ADDvise for the following reasons:

• EV/EBIT is neutral to a companyʹs financial gearing. It captures the operationsʹ capital intensity to the extent that depreciation levels approximately correspond to sustainable capex levels.

• P/E is often used to compare companies and to consider the differences in tax rates and financing costs. However, it is biased towards lower multiples for companies with high financial gearing. We believe that certain adjustments should be applied when using P/E in order to appropriately value the company.

We complement our analysis with a relative valuation as a sanity check

Peer group valuation We find the DCF method to be the most flexible and accurate to value most companies. However, a stringent relative valuation comparing multiples to a carefully selected peer group could provide a useful check for the DCF forecast. There are three main considerations we find necessary for an accurate relative valuation approach:

• Finding the right multiple. We prefer enterprise value based multiples such as EV/EBIT or EV/EBITA for comparing different companies. P/E is also a commonly used multiple but should be used with caution as it does not differentiate between companies with different capital structures.

• Consistency in calculations and adjustments of multiples.

• Finding the right peer group. Companies selected for the peer group should have similar growth outlooks and return on capital. The most common starting point is to use industry peers.

We use a broad European universe for our relative valuation

It is difficult to find perfect peers for ADDvise, as it operates in a niche market as a supplier to healthcare and research facilities. To complicate matters further, ADDvise’s aggressive M&A-driven growth strategy is pursued by only a few other similar peers.

To avoid company specifics distorting the picture, we use a broad and blended universe of companies with similar financial profiles and growth outlooks to ADDvise, ie

medtech companies or peers with explicit acquisition agenda (Indutrade, Addtech and Volati). In total we include ten listed peer companies (see the end of this section).

We would like to highlight that ADDvise is significantly smaller than its peers, with a market cap of just 1% of the peer group average. This could warrant a valuation discount to the peer group, as smaller companies usually experience lower liquidity and operate in more narrow markets, which make them more exposed to exogenous factors.

Based on our estimates for 2018E, ADDvise trades at discounts to the peer group average of 27% on P/E and 25% on EV/EBIT. Our forecasts suggest that ADDvise should grow faster than its peer group both in terms of sales and EBIT. Of the peer group companies, we find Addlife to be most comparable based on its M&A-driven business model and life science focus.

Company overview ADDvise provides equipment and services to healthcare and research institutions. The company operates through two business units: Lab and Healthcare.

On average since 2010, the company has made about 1-1.5 acquisitions per year. Potential synergies can be derived through access to ADDvise’s distribution network, facilitating the ability to take on major projects.

Founded in 1989 and taking off a few years later, it was first listed in 1998 New ownership in 2008 and initiation of new growth strategy in 2010

Company history ADDvise was founded in 1989 by a number of specialists in lab furnishings, clean rooms and safety ventilation. Operations started on a small scale, but in the mid-1990s, sales picked up with large laboratory orders from Astra. In 1998, ADDvise took its first step into the public market when it was listed on Nya Marknaden (today, Nasdaq OMX First North). In the following years, the company received a number of benchmark orders from major pharmaceutical companies and research labs in the Nordic region.

A major transition was initiated in 2008 with a new main owner, which resulted in a number of management and board changes, and a new growth strategy was implemented in 2010. The main implication from the new strategy was to emphasise acquisitions as a path to growth and the first acquisition was finalised during the autumn of 2010. It was also the start of a broader product offering, as the company previously was more of a niche player. Since 2010, ADDvise has completed seven acquisitions, with an eighth, AB Germa, currently pending. In September 2017, the company introduced its first long-term financial targets.

Long-term financial targets presented in September 2017

Financial targets In September 2017, ADDvise introduced long-term financial targets for the first time. Its strategy is still the same, but the targets provide more details and explicit numbers on its ambition to maintain high revenue growth based on a combination of acquisitions and organic initiatives. In combination with the 20% revenue growth target, the company introduced a profitability target of a 10% EBITDA margin and it aims to keep leverage below 3x net debt/EBITDA. In addition, the company targets paying out 25% of the pre-tax profit in dividends to its shareholders.

• Revenue growth: Annual revenue growth to exceed 20% including acquisitions

• Profitability: EBITDA margin target of 10%

• Capital structure: Net interest-bearing debt/EBITDA below 3.0x

Operates with two business units: Lab and Healthcare

Business units ADDvise has arranged its operations into two business units: Lab and Healthcare. This helps to support the clear M&A agenda. Each subsidiary is then linked to a particular business unit based on its products and customers. This also allows for synergy extraction through shared sales and distribution networks. The business model is decentralised and each subsidiary has its own management to keep the entrepreneurial spirit but still utilises the synergy potential of being part of a larger group and collaborating with other subsidiaries.

CEO is among the largest shareholders in terms of both capital and voting power

Shareholders ADDvise has both A- and B-shares outstanding, with each B-share representing 1/10 of the voting power of an A-share. The main motivation behind the existence of the dual share classes is to allow for issuance of B-shares to fund acquisitions, while maintaining a stable ownership structure in terms of voting power. Per Åhlgren, Chairman of Black Earth Farming, is the largest shareholder in terms of value, with shares representing 30% of the capital and 12% of the votes. CEO Rikard Akhtarzand is among the largest shareholders in terms of both capital and voting power.

Acquisition model ADDvise has a well-specified acquisition model to enable it to grow and capture synergies. In line with its new financial targets, the strategy is to maintain a high pace of future acquisitions and add assets that can broaden the company’s operations. Focus is solely on Life Science companies with sales of about SEK 30-100m, where competition and paid multiples are usually lower. The company currently sees a number of potential acquisition opportunities within its specified range. New strategy in 2010 to boost growth through M&A

In general, the company has acquired complementary businesses

Further acquisitions needed to deliver on the company’s growth target

Acquisition-driven growth story As a consequence of the strategic shift in its business model – initiated in 2010 following the changes of ownership and management that took place in 2008 – there have been multiple acquisitions. Since 2010, ADDvise has acquired seven companies with an eighth target, Germa, pending closure of the deal. This means that the company has on average added 1-1.5 acquisitions per year and considering its growth targets and single-digit organic growth, we expect this rate of M&A activity to increase.

In general, the acquired companies have either been competitors or companies with a product and service offering that has complemented that of ADDvise. The targets have also strengthened or expanded ADDvise’s geographical reach. The motivation given for each acquisition has often been the expected synergies, both industrial and financial.

We expect ADDvise to continue to operate a clear acquisition-driven growth strategy with the goal of growing both horizontally and vertically to enable a wider offering of products and services in both of its business units. It will continue to capitalise on synergies between ADDvise and the acquired companies and thus increase the level of profitability.

Deal flow is largely generated through intermediaries

Acquisition criteria ADDvise evaluates about 100 companies per year and has a shortlist of about ten potential targets. Deal flow is generally generated through intermediaries. The company’s criteria for potential acquisitions are as follow:

Type of company

• Providers of medical and laboratory equipment and related services with opportunities for synergies with ADDvise

• Mature companies with stable businesses that have strong cash flows, B2B sales and that experience relatively low levels of operational risk

Type of deal

• A typical deal is a privately held company

• ADDvise has historically wanted to acquire a majority share

Region

• Focus primarily on the Nordics and the US, but also elsewhere globally

• Strong local presence with potential to expand outside its home market

Size

• Targets companies with annual turnover of SEK 30-100m, and around SEK 20m at a minimum

Structured investment process to identify potential targets

Efficient internal structure allows a smooth integration process

Investment and integration process The investment process begins with strategic planning, which includes identifying the potential acquisitions. Here ADDvise makes use of its industrial network and intermediaries. This helps the company connect with potential sellers and for a percentage fee on the transaction value, ADDvise thus outsources the finding of its acquisition targets, enabling it to focus on the integration of its previous acquisitions and negotiating new deals. Each investment is then subject to a comprehensive due diligence process.

The payment structure for acquisitions that ADDvise mainly adopts consists of a mix of cash, shares and earn-outs. This payment model has a dual purpose in that it aims to both create incentives for the seller to maximise the ongoing development of the sold company, even after the sale, and meet the price expectations of the seller.

After a deal has been signed and a target has been acquired, the investment process moves into the integration process. ADDvise has an effective internal structure to enable a smooth and easy integration process of the acquired companies. The integration process is done in a methodical manner in order to optimise the acquired companies and realise the potential synergies.

Becoming a part of ADDvise translates into numerous benefits for the acquired companies

ADDvise value proposition to the acquired company For the acquired company there are numerous advantages of being part of ADDvise. The company’s products can be sold through ADDvise’s distribution channels and as ADDvise is a trusted partner in larger transactions, this enables deals of a greater scope. ADDvise’s goal is to maintain the entrepreneurial spirit of the acquired company and to emphasise that goal, in 2016 it started operating a more decentralised organisation to enable the business units to exert more independent control but still offer the option to utilise the advantages of a bigger group. ADDvise’s goal is also to help the acquired company improve operationally from its current level, in order to reach its full potential.

Acquisition multiples During the past few years, ADDvise has completed multiple acquisitions, with the transactions varying in size and being executed at different multiples. According to the company, valuations for these types of smaller companies have not varied significantly in the past. Hence, we expect future acquisitions to be finalised at around the historical multiple levels. See the list below for the completed and pending transactions since 2010.

Source: Company data and Nordea Markets

Acquisitions have had an average EBITDA margin of 5.6% and three-year sales CAGR of 8.3%

Historical financials of acquired companies The completed acquisitions, excluding Sonesta where no EBITDA was reported, have had an average EBITDA margin of 5.6% in the last full financial year before they were acquired. The average sales CAGR for the completed acquisitions, excluding Sonesta and Surgical Tables Inc, was 8.3% in the three last full financial years before the companies were acquired.

Market We expect ADDvise to benefit from structural growth in its underlying market, aided by favourable factors such as a growing population and an increasing proportion of elderly people. The company estimates that the global medtech market will grow by 5% annually up to 2020, and demand in its home market Sweden is also expected to be healthy, supported by baby boomers turning 80 in the coming years. The impact of demographical shifts has translated into steady growth in health expenditure over the past 20 years and we expect the trend to continue, which underpins good prospects for ADDvise to capture organic growth.

ADDvise estimates that global medtech demand will grow at 5% annually until 2020

Ageing baby boomers boost healthcare demand

Baby boomers turning into health demand boosters ADDvise states that the global medtech market is estimated to grow at an annual rate of 5% until 2020. In addition, a company-specific growth driver is that an increasing share of research is taking place in labs, which will increase the demand for construction of more facilities as well as the modernisation of existing infrastructure.

Although the Swedish population is already among the oldest in Europe, the large cohort of baby boomers born in the 1940s will start to turn 80 in the next few years. This translates into increased demand for healthcare products and services over the coming years.

Source: SCB and Nordea Markets

Demographic factors support long-term growth for ADDvise’s business units

Demographic shifts support long-term growth The general market trend is favourable for ADDvise in the long term, driven by demographic factors such as a growing population and an increased proportion of elderly people. In the next 30-40 years, the number of elderly people (defined as older than 65) is expected to grow by almost 50% and reach close to three million people in 2050, according to SCB. In relative terms, elderly people will account for almost 23% of the total population, up from 13% today. Ageing populations increase the demand for both of ADDvise’s business units, ie Lab and Healthcare, and could thus be supportive for the company’s organic growth prospects for the foreseeable future.

Health expenditure relative to GDP is growing steadily on a global basis

Trend of increasing healthcare costs is global As populations grow older, the cost of caring for them is also growing. In Sweden, health expenditure relative to GDP has increased by 4 pp in the past 20 years, from about 8% to 12% today. The same trend can also be seen in the EU as a whole, although the increase in Sweden – ADDvise’s most important market – has been larger in the past five years. This is also true for the US, which ADDvise is exposed to through its Sonesta and Surgical Table subsidiaries. The US is seeing a markedly higher share of GDP devoted to health expenditure and the gap to the EU has been persistent in the past 20 years.

AUTOPLAK (microbiology automation) Many hospitals and laboratories are still faced with the challenge of performing many highly repetitive processes manually, which increases the risk of errors. Through automation, staff are not only freed up from performing repetitive tasks but the variability of clinical practice and risk of errors are also reduced. Through AUTOPLAK, an automatic sample inoculation and streaking system for Petri dishes in microbiology laboratories, the labs are able to increase productivity and quality as well as lower costs.

Distributes a wide offering of centrifuges from Hettich Zentrifugen

Centrifuges Hettich distributes a wide range of centrifuges manufactured by Hettich Zentrifugen, targeting both general practices and more advanced laboratories. The product offering stretches from smaller compact centrifuges for a low number of samples up to larger, floor-standing and cooled centrifuges for blood bags and larger sample volumes.

laboratory fitting and equipment area extends over 40 years, making LabRum one of the oldest complete suppliers of interior design, laboratory equipment and protection ventilation in the Swedish market.

During fiscal-year 2014/15, LabRum reported sales of SEK 72.5m and generated an EBITDA of SEK 7.4m, corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 10.2%. LabRum’s customers include both private and public clients, including the highly reputable Karolinska Institute, the Swedish Police Authority and several universities.

Laboratory furnishings are offered in four styles in order to meet different customer needs

Laboratory furnishings LabRumʹs laboratory fittings are strongly associated with a high degree of functionality, quality and design. In order to meet different customer needs, LabRum offers four different styles, including the Hanson Design, Nordic Design, Oxford Design and the Classic Design.

As laboratory fittings are exposed to great stress over their lifetime, often including high temperatures and corrosive substances, this puts great demand on the properties of the material, while the fittings should also be ergonomically correct and enable efficiency and safety. By choosing, for example, LabRum’s Nordic Design or Oxford design, the customer gets a traditional interior design with simple and flexible wall modules that are easy to move or adjust if necessary. With the Hanson Design, customers are able to free up additional space as the design is free from table legs/tripod legs and potentially disturbing steel details and with a stability and strength that are better and more flexible than the traditional laboratory furnishing. LabRum also offers solutions specifically adapted to school environments via the Oxford design where LabRum has taken its well-proven concept and applied it to the typical school environment.

IM-Medico’s sells emergency CPAP devices from Pulmodyne

Emergency CPAP Products IM-Medico also sells Pulmodyne’s product family of disposable and portable emergency CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) devices. They provide a consistent flow throughout inhalation and exhalation, and offer attachments and features that allow the utilisation of different combinations of FiO2 (fraction of inspired oxygen) and PEEP (positive end-expiratory pressure) to meet patient needs. Note that IM-Medico also provides traditional CPAP products that are described more in detail under OP/AN/IVA.

Other emergency care This product area includes other products such as CPR manikins, endoscopy masks and VBM Pocket Introducer (an aid for the difficult airway to facilitate insertion of an endotracheal tube under direct oral laryngoscopy).

IM-Medico has a wide product offering of single and multiple use products designed for surgery anaesthesia and intensive care

Stapling is often much more efficient than manual suturing

OP/AN/IVA (surgery, anaesthesia and intensive care) IM-Medico provides a wide range of single and multiple use products designed for surgery, anaesthesia and intensive care. These areas are central in today’s hospital care with intensive care usually only offered to those whose condition is potentially reversible and who have a good chance of surviving with intensive care support, while anaesthesia enables the painless performance of medical procedures that would cause severe or intolerable pain to an unanaesthetised patient. IM-Medico’s portfolio includes products such as tourniquets, CPAP, oxygen therapy, ventilator and anaesthesia masks, surgical instruments and suction units.

Stapling Surgical staples are specialised staples used in surgery. Stapling is often much more efficient than manual suturing and also more accurate. Main areas of usage include bowel and lung surgery, because staple lines are more consistent and therefore less likely to leak blood, air or bowel contents. An alternative to stapling is dermal adhesives.

Historical financials ADDvise increased its sales at a 31.2% CAGR between 2011 and 2016, with an adj. EBITDA CAGR of 105% during the same period. The main sales growth contribution derives from acquisitions, which have been an integral part of the business model since the new strategy was introduced in 2010. These acquisitions have also boosted EBITDA, but have also added to net debt, as M&A activity has largely been financed via debt, including a sizeable bond issue.

ADDvise has seen rapid sales growth through its M&A strategy

Adjusted EBITDA grew at a CAGR of 105% between 2011 and 2016

Group financials ADDvise has seen a period of rapid sales growth in the past few years, as it has made multiple acquisitions, a consequence of the strategic shift in its business model in 2010. In the period between 2011 and 2016, the company increased its revenue at a 31.2% CAGR. The vast majority of the growth experienced during the period derived from completed acquisitions.

The acquired companies have boosted EBITDA and between 2011 and 2016, adjusting EBITDA for acquisition related items, it grew at a 105% CAGR, albeit from a low starting point. This has translated into the adjusted EBITDA margin expanding from 0.5% in 2011 to 4.7% in 2016, implying sales leverage through economies of scale in operations due to higher purchase volumes and reduced administration costs relative to sales, for example.

Average sales per employee has increased since 2014

ADDvise’s employee base has increased over the years as the company has grown through acquisitions. In absolute terms, the number of employees has grown by 23% annually since 2011, which is below the sales growth trend during the same period. Average sales per employee exhibited a rather flat trend until 2016, when the acquisition of LabRum caused sales per employee to spike to SEK 3.3m from the SEK 2.2-2.4m seen in earlier years.

Personnel costs have stayed flattish relative to sales

Personnel costs have increased every year since 2011 at a CAGR of 33%, outpacing the sales CAGR over the same period by 2 pp. Relative to sales, the personnel costs have fluctuated around the 26% average in the last five years.

Source: Company data and Nordea Markets Source: Company data and Nordea Markets

Acquisition strategy has increased net debt

Net debt has risen substantially since 2011 from about zero to above SEK 100m, as the company has completed a number of acquisitions. Due to the increase in debt and net profit losses between 2012 and 2015, the equity ratio has declined. The uptick in 2016 is due to a number of rights issues, primarily related to financing the acquisitions of LabRum and Hettich Labinstrument.

Source: Company data and Nordea Markets Source: Company data and Nordea Markets

Working capital and capex have seen spikes in recent years

Working capital and capex Working capital requirements have fluctuated in the range of -5% to 5% relative to sales historically. The spike in 2014 stemmed from a one-off effect of SEK 32m in other current assets, while the second spike in 2016 was due to the company changing its practice on accounts receivable from factoring to invoice discounting; ie using accounts receivables as collateral for loans. ADDvise’s capex requirements are relatively low and have gradually moved back towards the historical 2% level after a spike in 2014, when capex to sales went above 7% due to the purchase of intangibles.

Lab sales jumped in 2016 with the LabRum acquisition

Profitability has been volatile with a weak 2015

Financials per business unit Lab Sales in the Lab business unit grew steadily at a CAGR of 19% between 2013 and 2016. Growth in the unit was supported by the acquisitions of Sunnex Tillquist (2012) and LabRum (2016).

The EBITDA margin in Lab has been volatile for the past four years. After a solid 2014 in EBITDA terms, 2015 saw profitability hit a trough with a margin drop of 7.6 pp. The margin recovered in 2016 to 1.2% and the trend for 2017 has been positive during H1 when the LTM margin came in at 4.3%. The EBITDA CAGR between 2013 and 2016 was 29%, far exceeding the sales growth for the unit during the same period.

Healthcare sales to be boosted by pending AB Germa acquisition

EBITDA CAGR of 59% between 2013 and 2016

Healthcare Healthcare’s sales increased at a CAGR of 15% between 2013 and 2016. Growth was supported by the acquisitions of Sonesta (2013), Surgical Tables Inc (2014) and will be boosted by the pending acquisition of AB Germa, which saw revenue of SEK 30.1m in 2016.

Profitability in Healthcare has outpaced that of the Lab unit and the EBITDA margin has consistently been higher in Healthcare. The EBITDA CAGR during 2013-16 hit 59%, considerably outgrowing sales in the unit. The margin trend has consequently been positive in the past few years and in 2016 the EBITDA margin reached 15%.

Estimates Our research implies that ADDvise could deliver a revenue CAGR of 14.8% for the period 2016 to 2024E, aided by favourable demographics and acquisitions. On a business unit level, we model a gradual sales mix shift in favour of Healthcare. On account of sales leverage through synergies, we expect an EBITDA CAGR of 26.0% for our forecast period. We see potential for the company to reach its long-term profitability target over time, implying an EBITDA margin of 10.0%.

Main growth contribution derives from M&A

Our research implies improving profitability

We expect ADDvise to near its margin target over time

We estimate that ADDvise could deliver a revenue CAGR of 14.8% for 2016-24E, aided by acquisitions. This implies group sales of SEK 588m in 2024E. In terms of sales composition, we model an annual organic growth contribution of 2% throughout our forecast period, while the remaining growth derives from M&A. The organic growth assumption is based on historical numbers and ADDvise’s focus on rather mature businesses with a low degree of operational risk. We assume that ADDvise will add about 1-1.5x acquisitions per year with sales of SEK 30-100m, which is in line with historical numbers. The estimated acquisitions are split evenly between Lab and Healthcare.

We estimate that the revenue CAGR of 14.8% could result in an EBITDA CAGR of 26.0% during our forecast period, helped by synergy extraction in the acquired companies. We assume average EBITDA margins for the acquired companies in Lab and Healthcare of 6.5% and 8%, respectively, which are below the group average. According to our forecasts, we expect ADDvise to be able to acquire companies at an EV/EBITDA multiple of about 4x, based on the historical multiples for its previous acquisitions.

For 2024, we estimate EBITDA of SEK 59m, implying an EBITDA margin of 10.0%, versus an adjusted EBITDA margin of 4.7% in 2016. This is fully in line with ADDvise’s long-term financial target. The margin boost can be explained by synergy extraction both in terms of revenue, by enabling the potential to take on larger orders, and costs, ie supply chain improvements and reduced overhead costs.

Capex levels to match amortisation and depreciation

Depreciation and amortisation relative to sales averaged 2.0% between 2011 and 2016, peaking at 3.0% in 2012. During our forecast period, we expect depreciation and amortisation relative to sales to be around 2.0%, which is in line with capex. We estimate SG&A to come down slightly, due to scalability in the business model and potential to take out overhead costs in the acquired companies.

Acquisitions are the main growth driver for Lab

Lab We estimate that Lab could reach revenue of SEK 176m in 2017E, aided by the acquisition of Hettich Labinstrument, representing y/y growth of 42%. Within our forecast period (2017E-24E), we expect a revenue CAGR of 9.8%, yielding an EBITDA CAGR of 13.8%. Acquisitions will be the main growth driver, while favourable demographics and potential to expand geographically with its customers outside the Nordic region could aid long-term growth prospects.

An increasing share of research is also being conducted in laboratories, which fosters the need for new facilities and refurbishments. Furthermore, we see some room for margin improvements through centralisation of group functions and streamlining, once the most recent acquisitions are fully integrated.

Source: Company data and Nordea Markets Source: Company data and Nordea Markets

Pending acquisition of Germa could be a near-term growth driver

Healthcare We estimate that Healthcare could reach revenue of SEK 82m in 2017E, aided by the pending acquisition of AB Germa, representing y/y growth of 15%. Within our forecast period (2017E-24E), we expect a revenue CAGR of 17.3%, giving an EBITDA CAGR of 19.7%.

As in the Lab unit, acquisitions will be the primary growth driver, both on a product level and through geographical expansion, while favourable demographics could aid long-term growth expectations. We also see scope for reduced overhead costs, supply chain improvements and continued internationalisation by increasing sales outside the Nordics, where growth has been solid.

Lower leverage supported by improving cash flows

New bond will reduce interest costs

Balance sheet ADDvise’s leverage is currently elevated at net debt/EBITDA of 5.8x in 2016, but we expect it to decrease in the coming years. Based on improving cash flows, we expect that net debt/EBITDA will gradually decrease despite further acquisitions. According to our forecasts, ADDvise will reach its financial target for the capital structure, ie net debt/EBITDA below 3x, in 2023E.

In terms of financial costs, the company announced on 15 September that it will issue a new secured bond maturing in 2022. The new SEK 100m bond will carry annual interest of 7.25%, paid on a quarterly basis. It will replace the current SEK 87m bond, which carries 10% interest, lowering the annual interest paid by the company by SEK 2.4m, starting in 2018.

If the company is able to deliver on its growth ambitions, we see further potential for it to reduce financial costs thanks to scale benefits and lowered leverage. One example could be access to other financing sources, such as bank lending. After year three, ADDvise can redeem its new bond without paying any penalty costs. In our model, we assume that interest costs come down to 5% from 2021E.

Source: Company data and Nordea Markets Source: Company data and Nordea Markets

We expect a meaningful improvement in operational cash flows

Cash flow We expect a meaningful improvement in FCF before acquisitions in 2017E, to SEK -6m from SEK -37m in 2016. The main driver will be working capital, as 2016 was impacted by a switch from factoring to invoice discounting, ie using accounts receivable as collateral for loans.

In terms of capex, we estimate a small increase relative to sales owing to slightly low investment levels in 2016.

Risk factors Below, we list the main risk factors we find relevant for ADDvise. The purpose of this is not to provide a comprehensive picture of all of the risks that the company may be subject to, but instead to highlight those that we find most relevant. The main risks we identify relate to the financial position, operating model and dependency on key employees.

ADDvise might need additional funds to finance its growth agenda

Inherent risks in the acquisition processes

Few competitors currently have the same full service offering

Exposed to industry dynamics but limited customer specific risks

Limited currency exposure

Financial position and capital needs ADDvise has a growth-oriented business model that is dependent on securing sufficient funding. At present, the company has an outstanding bond with a face value of SEK 87m, after a tap-on of SEK 9.1m on 1 September 2017. In addition, the company raised SEK 7.9m in a targeted issue of new shares at the same time. Historically, ADDvise has made use of a variety of sources to fund acquisitions, including debt, new shares and earn-outs.

On 15 September 2017, the company announced that it intends to refinance the SEK 87m bond with a new secured bond of SEK 100m, which could potentially be expanded to a maximum of SEK 240m in case of acquisitions. The new bond matures in October 2022, has a nominal rate of 7.25% and uses shares in Hettich Labinstrument and Surgical Tables Inc as collateral.

Acquisition strategy Since ADDvise’s growth strategy is largely dependent on a steady flow of new companies, there are risks related to the acquisition process. One key risk is that ADDvise could potentially overpay for companies in relation to their future financial performance. To reduce this risk, ADDvise makes use of an extensive due diligence process. Another key risk related to acquisitions is the integration risk. Since it is difficult to determine this risk before the integration process is initiated, ADDvise’s strategy is to gradually integrate its subsidiaries, which could be a mitigating factor.

Competition The market of supplying medical equipment and related services is a competitive niche with many competitors. However, ADDvise states that overall there are few competitors in its key markets that have full service offerings. However, competition can be quite intense for particular products. There is also a risk that new companies enter the market or that existing players develop new products that raise their competitive edge. Both of these scenarios could affect ADDvise’s sales. To maintain its competitive edge, ADDvise might also need to make additional investments or lower its prices.

Customer concentration ADDvise’s customers are to a large extent in the healthcare segment, which is generally a stable market but the company could be exposed to industry fluctuations in the event of a downturn. Some of ADDvise’s customers are large public and private companies, but no single customer constitutes more than 15% of the total revenue.

Currency fluctuations ADDvise is affected by currency risks, but as the company has both assets and liabilities in different currencies the exposure is rather balanced. In its 2016 annual report, the company states that a 5% change in its underlying currencies versus the SEK would affect the pre-tax profit by SEK 0.042m. The company has a policy of avoiding currency risk by hedging currency exposure or using currency clauses in its customer contracts. Its main exposures in terms of sales and cost are in SEK, NOK, USD and EUR.

Products needs to fulfil certain quality requirements

CEO is also a board member and among the largest shareholders

Sweden represent-ed 66% of group revenue in 2016

Attracting and retaining key personnel is integral for ADDvise’s future success

Suppliers ADDvise uses a number of different suppliers for its products and services. Significant disturbances, quality issues or other adverse events with a major supplier can result in additional costs, and a change of supplier could lead to disturbances in the supply chain. The manufacturing of certain medtech products also needs to fulfil certain quality standards and other regulatory requirements.

Concentration of ownership and conflict of interest Rikard Akhtarzand, who is the CEO, is also on the board of directors and is one of the main shareholders of ADDvise. As of 30 June 2017, he held shares representing about 16% of the voting power. As such, there could potentially be a governance issue putting the CEO’s interests ahead of those of minority shareholders.

General economy and specifically Sweden’s economy ADDvise is to some extent exposed to the general economy and that of Sweden in particular, which constituted 66% of group sales in 2016. In case of an economic downturn in the region, this could potentially lead to delayed investments from its customers, affecting ADDvise’s sales.

Hiring and maintaining key employees ADDvise’s future success is dependent on its ability to keep, motivate and attract key personnel. This includes senior management and in particular Rikard Akhtarzand, who is the CEO, a member of the board and one of the largest owners. Loss of key individuals could impact operations and the growth strategy outlined by senior management and the main owners. As the company grows, it may also need to add new capabilities and attract future employees with certain qualities and characteristics.
