The Healthcare Diagnostic core business (66.0 % of the group sales) could report a solid growth of + 5.1 %. The one-off special charges were due to apoplex medical, where the present sales had to be delimited according to IFRS over the entire term of the hospital contracts concluded. The one-off effect led to a decline in sales of 205 k EUR and an impact on earnings of 568 k EUR, of which 313 k EUR are for the passive deferred tax liabilities for development services. Due to product conversions, the LMT Medical subsidiary showed postponements of orders to the 2020 fiscal year resulting in a decline in sales of 1,409 k EUR and an impact on earnings of 467 EUR on group level. The 2019 special charges should not occur again in this form for the 2020 fiscal year. Due to the Corona pandemic, Geratherm Medical had a strong start into the new fiscal year. The clinical thermometer production is being increased by 30 %. At present the demand cannot be satisfied. There is evidence that the pulmonary function of patients after a hospital stay due to Corona could be limited. Geratherm Respiratory sell pulmonary function measuring instruments for diagnosing late effects. In the first quarter the sales rose by 30 %. At present there is an increased number of incoming orders from China. We can expect that other countries will follow. The new factory building in Bad Kissingen provides the respective production capacities. Geratherm Medical expect significantly higher reported sales and earnings for the 2020 fiscal year. The detailed annual report will be published on April 23, 2020. Geratherm Medical AG
