2024-10-20    Getinge HaiPress

GOTHENBURG,Sweden,Oct. 18,2024 -- "The order intake increased by 10.0%,of which organic growth was 7.4%. All regions reported a positive performance," saysMattias Perjos,President & CEO at Getinge. The medtech company's net sales increased by 3.5%,of which the organic increase was 0.2%,while the operating margin weakened compared with last year.

The global market for Getinge's products is still strong and during the quarter order intake increased by 10.0%,with particularly strong growth in consumables in Cardiopulmonary and ventilators in Critical Care and Infection Control. This was also the case for Bio-Processing,with double-digit growth in the organic order intake both in the US and in China.

"Organic sales in Acute Care Therapies decreased slightly,mainly due to lower sales of hardware in Cardiopulmonary and consumables in Cardiac Assist,which had challenging comparative figures from Q3 2023. Organic sales for Life Science declined by 2.4%,as a result of outgoing deliveries in capital goods shifting more toward Q4 2024 and the order growth in Bio-Processing is not yet seen in sales," says Mattias Perjos,President & CEO at Getinge.

In September,the acquisition of Paragonix Technologies,Inc.,a leading US company in organ transport products and services,was completed. The company commands a unique position in the rapidly growing US market,and there are clear synergies with our existing product portfolio,technologies and global sales force. Last year's major acquisitions – Healthmark and High Purity New England,have outperformed expectations and will make organic contributions starting in Q4 2024.

During the quarter,TÜV SÜD reinstated Getinge's CE certificate for HLS and PLS consumables,which are used for ECLS therapy. In connection with this,Getinge communicated that temporary challenges with one supplier and production changeover related to the new packaging solution had resulted in a lower volume of HLS and PLS sets available for shipment in Q3. Deliveries of the new packaging to CE countries could commence at the beginning of October.

The operating margin weakened compared with last year. This was mainly due to the product mix,higher costs associated with quality improvement and temporary disruptions regarding consumables in Cardiopulmonary as well as currency.

"I look forward to a strong finish to 2024,continuing our work to create value for our customers in their important commitment to deliver more and better healthcare to more patients," says Mattias Perjos.
