CEO comment

Successful capital raising and sharp focus on delivery

The company's growth in the first half-year continued into the third quarter, driven by increased use of machine perfusion. We completed a successful capital raising in the quarter, raising SEK 440 million before transaction costs. The strong support from our shareholders means that we are now ready to deliver on our strategy to achieve market leadership in all organs.

Christoffer Rosenblad, CEO

Total sales in the quarter amounted to SEK 147 million (97), equivalent to growth of 51 percent. Organic growth accounted for 37 percent and acquired growth amounted to 5 percent. The remaining growth related to currency effects.

Sales in the Thoracic business area amounted to SEK 91 million (71), an increase of 28 percent year-on-year and an increase of 20 percent adjusted for currency effects. Disposables delivered organic growth of 23 percent. Market growth and increased use of EVLP (Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion) remain the primary growth factors, with favorable progress in both the US and Europe.

Abdominal delivered another strong quarter, primarily driven by continued positive sales growth for liver perfusion in Europe. Sales amounted to SEK 35 million (14) in the quarter, equivalent to growth of 138 percent adjusted for currency effects. Disposables delivered organic growth of 100 percent.

Production of Kidney Assist Transport (KAT) is gradually increasing, although the introduction continues on a selective basis. KAT has now been fully launched in the Netherlands, where it is used for all DCD kidneys with favorable results. To date, we have completed a selective launch in the US, Australia, Sweden and Spain. The initial customer response is positive, confirming the positive clinical results seen in studies such as the one published in The Lancet (2020). There has been considerable interest in the US, and XVIVO took the important step of introducing KAT in the first OPO (Organ Procurement Organization) in October. OPOs provide a majority of kidney perfusion in the US and are an important target group, while also providing a contact point with new transplant centers. XVIVO's top priority is to continue to increase volumes of produced sterile disposables. At a pace with production improving, we are seeing gradually increased product sales.

The Services business area, which includes our organ recovery service in the US, had organic growth of 68 percent. We strengthened our organization during the year, focusing on establishing stable, regional hubs that can serve our customers more efficiently. The organizational integration of STAR Teams into XVIVO was completed in the quarter and we are now marketing our services relating to organ retrieval under the XVIVO brand. The work continues to strengthen the customer offering under the joint brand, with a focus on clinical quality as well as efficient logistics and communication.

We continue to deliver healthy gross margins in both Thoracic and Abdominal. The margin in Thoracic was 86 percent (84), and the Abdominal margin was 61 percent (51). We presented a strong EBITDA margin again in the quarter - adjusted for previously announced integration costs, the margin was 19 (10) percent.

The new issue in September raised SEK 440 million for the company before transaction costs and was completed with no discount in an accelerated book-building procedure. The net proceeds are intended for three important purposes, all of which represent a fundamental part of our strategic plan: to bring our heart preservation technology, which now also includes DCD donors, and our liver perfusion technology to the US market after clinical trials in the shortest time possible. We will also finance a strong increase in the production of disposables, with the aim of ensuring delivery capacity and reducing the cost of goods sold. We feel that we have strong support from our shareholders and are determined to deliver according to plan.

"Strong support from our shareholders means that we are now ready to deliver on our strategy"

In the third quarter we saw further indications of the potential of our heart preservation technology. In the US, the protocol has been updated to include DCD donors and on October 14, Duke University Hospital became the first clinic to complete a heart transplant in the US trial. In Australia, use of the technology through special permits continued with favorable clinical results, and to date in the year approximately 30 percent of the country's heart transplants have been carried out using our technology.

In May, we announced in a press release that we had included all of the 202 patients in the European study. This study forms the basis for obtaining regulatory approval in Europe, known as CE-marking, which enables marketing and sales of the heart technology. According to schedule, we submitted the technical documentation for inspection by our Notified Body in the third quarter.

Last, but not least, for the second time in history a successful xenotransplant has been completed where a human received a heart from a pig. This was achieved by a team of researchers at University of Maryland School of Medicine in the US, where XVIVO's technology enabled preservation of the pig heart before transplant.

Given the continued growth in machine perfusion, our strong financial position and the great interest in our US clinical studies, we are looking to next year with confidence.

Significant events during the quarter

Directed new share issue raised SEK 440 million.

XVIVO carried out a directed share issue of 1,600,000 shares at a subscription price of SEK 275 per share, raising gross proceeds of SEK 440 million before transaction costs of approximately SEK 10 million for the company. The subscription price was determined in an accelerated book-building procedure. Investors in the directed issue include existing and new shareholders such as Bure Equity AB, the Fourth AP Fund, Swedbank Robur Fonder, Eccenovo, Handelsbanken Fonder AB through the investment fund Hälsovård Tema, the Third AP Fund and a tier-one global international investor.

The net proceeds from the Directed Issue are intended to be used for:

  1. Increased investments in US clinical trial infrastructure and support to create an efficient FDA PMA regulatory approval process for the heart preservation technology;
  2. Fast-trackthe preparation and start of the clinical trial and FDA PMA regulatory approval process for Liver Assist; and
  3. Scale-upof disposable production to ensure delivery capacity and decrease in cost of goods sold.

Through the Directed Issue, the number of shares and votes in XVIVO Perfusion AB (Publ) increased by 1,600,000, as announced on September 29, 2023. As of September 30, the total number of shares and votes was 31,499,470.

US FDA grants XVIVO approval to include DCD hearts in IDE Clinical Trial

The US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has approved XVIVO's Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) supplement for its heart preservation clinical trial to now include Donation after Circulatory Death (DCD) hearts. This permits clinical trial sites to utilize XVIVO's heart technology to preserve hearts from DCD donors. 141 patients will be enrolled at up to 20 US hospitals. The number of patients is unchanged, but this change will allow five additional clinics to participate in the trial.

XVIVO's heart preservation technology was used in a second successful xenotransplant (heart from pig to human)

On September 20, 2023, the world's second successful heart xenotransplant from pig to human was completed. Like for the first transplantation, a team of researchers at University of Maryland School of Medicine in the US were behind the achievement. After removing the heart from the pig, XVIVO's preservation technology and patented solution was used to preserve the heart in optimal condition before transplant. The patient was a 58-year-old critically ill man with terminal heart failure who did not qualify for conventional treatment methods.

One of the biggest challenges in transplantation is the shortage of organs. Xenotransplantation, i.e. transplantation between species, presents a potential solution to the critical organ shortage. Groundbreaking research using XVIVO's heart preservation technology has achieved long-term survival after xenotransplants of hearts from genetically modified pigs to primates in recent years.

XVIVO initiates strategic collaboration with MTJ Aviation to strengthen organ retrieval services in the US

XVIVO has signed a strategic collaboration agreement with MTJ Aviation, a US company specializing in healthcare transport. The agreement is a positive consequence of the decision to integrate STAR Teams with the XVIVO brand. Reliable organ transports have become increasingly important for transplantation clinics in the US following recent changes to US organ allocation policy. Escalating logistics complexity and ensuing increased costs to clinics have led to the emergence of a more customized and efficient transportation process. Alongside MTJ Aviation, XVIVO will address this need by establishing shared flight hubs on the US East Coast and in the Mid West. Each hub will have a dedicated surgical team and a light jet plane dedicated to XVIVO's operations.

XVIVO has decided to conclude further patient inclusion in the PrimECC® study

PrimECC is a solution used to prepare heart-lung machines ahead of heart surgery. The product is both CE marked and patent protected and has been developed with the aim of reducing complications after surgery. A clinical trial in PrimECC was initiated in 2020, with the aim of expanding and strengthening existing clinical data. Unfortunately, the rate of patient inclusion did not live up to expectations, and the study is not expected to be completed within a reasonable time frame. XVIVO has therefore decided to halt further patient inclusion in the study. The study data will be analyzed and the strategic potential evaluated.

So far, SEK 14 million has been invested in the clinical trial in PrimECC. If XVIVO eventually decides to terminate the product, this would result in impairment of intangible assets totaling SEK 14 million. XVIVO expects to make a decision regarding the future of PrimECC within a three-six month period.
