Message from our CEO 
Positive start to the year 
I am pleased to report that Vimian had a positive 
start to the year with strong growth and 
profitability. We continued to see solid demand 
from veterinary clinics for our innovative products 
and services, as pet owners seek better and more 
advanced care for their loved ones. 
Our efforts to accelerate organic growth proved 
successful and we delivered 13 per cent organic 
growth in the quarter. Excluding Diagnostics, our 
companion animal business grew 16 per cent, with 
average price increases of five per cent. The 
adjusted EBITA margin improved compared to the 
fourth quarter to 29.6 per cent supported by an 
extended annual ordering programme in MedTech. 
Net cash flow in the quarter is impacted by the 
build-up of receivables related to the programme 
as customers pay in monthly instalments over the 
year. 
We continued to integrate acquired companies and 
closed three strategically important add-ons. I am 
pleased to conclude that we reached pro-forma 
revenues of EUR 320.6 million and adjusted EBITA 
of EUR 84.1 million for the twelve months ending 31 
March 2023. 
All segments off to a good start 
In Specialty Pharma, we delivered solid organic 
growth led by Specialty Nutrition and Specialty 
Pharmaceuticals. We launched 25 new products, 
launched our new allergy test PAX in the US and 
Europe, and hosted our annual virtual Education 
Week with 2,000 veterinarians. We established 
direct sales for our dermatology and specialty care 
brands in France and Belgium, preparing for Spain 
in the third quarter. In March, we acquired the non-
regulated part of Bova in Australia continuing to 
build a global leader in customized specialty 
pharmaceuticals. 
In MedTech, we closed a successful annual 
ordering programme. Our customers purchase 
their annual need of orthopedic products in one 
order, improving efficiency and reducing 
shipments. This frees up time for our sales force to 
focus on new customers over the next quarters.  
Veterinary Services has seen a strong start to the 
year with double digit growth in most markets and 
solid improvement in profitability. New member 
growth was strong, and we reached 5,300 
members. In March, we welcomed Vettr to 
complement our services offering in Australia.  
In Diagnostics, the core veterinary business 
continues to grow, and our cost program is starting 
to generate positive impact. We have launched a 
new, key innovation platform, Ovacyte, in the 
equine market in France and DACH. This AI-
enabled parasite detection platform has received 
positive feedback from customers, and we are 
currently planning for its global launch.  
Advancing the ESG agenda 
We are progressing our ESG agenda hosting our 
first “Month of Ethics” in February with all-
employee trainings. We integrated a new set of 
ESG criteria in our commercial due diligence 
process and published our ESG report in May, 
including our Scope 1 & 2 emissions of 1,793 
tCO2e for 2022, well below peer average. We are 
setting reduction targets and plans and will be 
including Scope 3 emissions in the next phase. On 
the people agenda, we are launching our first 
Group-wide employee survey in May. We are proud 
to have 45% female leaders, and we have 
improved diversity in executive management 
during the year. 
The global economy remains under pressure, and 
we continue to monitor demand closely. The 
expanded annual ordering program pulled-forward 
MedTech sales from the second and third quarter.  
In April, the US patent dispute was settled, and our 
US team can now maintain full focus on customers 
and business operations. We have initiated the 
process to retrieve compensation under the 
indemnification protection and will update the 
market once conclusive.  
Overall, we are pleased to deliver a strong start to 
the year in a challenging environment, and we look 
forward to continuing supporting our customers 
with new innovative products and services.  
Stockholm, May 2023

CEO of Vimian Group AB (publ)

revenue growth was 13 per cent, primarily driven 
by MedTech 24 per cent boosted by the AOP 
programme and pull-forward of sales. Solid growth 
in Veterinary Services 16 per cent and Specialty 
Pharma 9 per cent, partly offset by an 18 per cent 
decline in Diagnostics, still held back by phase out 
of Covid-sales. Acquisitions contributed to a 
growth of 16 per cent and a positive impact from 
currency movements of 2 per cent. 
Revenue per segment, Q1 2023 
 
Operating profit

This consists of three main parts: financing costs 
of EUR -3.0m (average interest 4.8 per cent), 
adjusted contingent considerations including 
discounting impacts of EUR -3.1m and a negative 
exchange-rate impact of EUR -2.4m. During the

Cash flow 
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to 
EUR 1.1m (11.1), with negative impact from change 
in working capital. Higher account receivables 
driven by the AOP programme in MedTech. Cash 
flow from investing activities of EUR -17.2m (-80.9), 
primarily related to M&A with three add-on 
acquisitions closed during Q1 2023.  
Net working capital 
Net working capital amounted to EUR 72.9m (43.7) 
at the end of March, up from EUR 59.7m at the end 
of December. Inventory increased by EUR 3m, 
receivables increased by EUR 20m driven by the 
annual ordering programme where customers 
purchase their estimated full year demand of 
orthopedic products, paying in monthly 
instalments. 
Net debt and cash and cash equivalents 
At the end of the period, net debt amounted to 
EUR 292.8m, versus EUR 257.5m per 31 December 
2022. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 
45.9m at the end of the period.  
On 4 April 2023, Vimian’s subsidiary Veterinary 
Orthopedic Implants LLC (“VOI”) reached a 
settlement agreement with DePuy Synthes 
Products, Inc. and DePuy Synthes Sales, Inc. 
resolving the patent dispute between the parties. 
Under the terms of the agreement, the defendants 
are obliged to make a single payment of USD 70 
million, payable in the second quarter of 2023. Per 
the end of 2022, Vimian has booked an “other 
current liability” of USD 70 million and a claim of 
USD 56 million (USD 70 million minus USD 20 
million withheld at acquisition plus USD 6 million of 
legal costs) towards the sellers of VOI as a 
“current receivable”. This has no impact on net 
debt. Vimian’s view is that through the purchase 
agreement for the acquisition of VOI, Vimian has 
contractual indemnification protection for the 
amount of the settlement and all legal costs to 
date.  
Per the 31 March, net debt in relation to pro-forma 
adjusted EBITDA over the past 12-month period 
was 3.1x, compared to 3.0x per 31 December 2022.

Segment performance  
First quarter 2023 
Vimian operates through four reporting segments: Specialty Pharma, 
MedTech, Veterinary Services and Diagnostics 
Segment – Specialty Pharma 
 
 
Revenue  
Total revenue in the first quarter grew 15 per cent 
to EUR 34.5 million (30). Solid organic revenue 
growth of 9 per cent, contribution from 
acquisitions 5 per cent and positive impact from 
currency movements 1 per cent. 
Organic growth accelerated to 9 per cent driven by 
strong growth in Specialised Nutrition with the US 
growing 15 per cent and above 40 per cent growth 
in Specialty Pharmaceuticals. Solid growth in 
Dermatology & Specialty Care led by the ICF brand 
benefitting from evidence-based formulations. 
As expected, allergy test sales declined as volumes 
are transferred to the new allergy test (PAX) with 
better precision. The US and European launch of 
the canine version of the allergy test has been well 
received by key opinion leaders, veterinarians and 
reference labs. The feline and equine tests will be 
launched during the second half of 2023. Allergy 
treatment sales continued to see solid growth. 
Geographically, the strongest growth is seen in the 
US and Benelux, lowered by the UK. Italy (15 per 
cent of segment sales) returned to growth in the 
quarter after a challenging 2022.  
In the development of new allergy vaccines, first 
phase of studies on laboratory dogs has been 
completed and the first client owned dog studies 
are planned for the second half of 2023. 
Adjusted EBITA 
Adjusted EBITA increased to EUR 9.3 million (9.1) 
at a margin of 27.1 per cent (30.4). During the first 
quarter the segment has made significant 
investments in completion and commercial launch 
of the new allergy test PAX – shifting volumes from 
legacy tests, educating veterinarians, and pushing 
a broad marketing campaign. Investment has been 
made into establishing direct distribution of 
dermatology and specialty care products in France 
and Belgium, now done internally.  
Acquisitions 
The acquisition of Viking Blues Pty Ltd. (the non-
regulated part of Bova in Australia) with EUR 10m 
revenue and around 40% EBITDA margin 
(announced in the second quarter 2022) was 
completed on 27 March. This is a milestone in 
Vimian’s ambition to create a leading global 
position in customized specialty pharmaceuticals 
and establish a research and innovation hub for 
the Group.  
Several milestones in the integration of acquired 
companies reached during the quarter including: 
▪ Nextmune UK Labs (formerly Avacta) now fully 
integrated into Nextmune UK, performing all 
tests for UK market. Following Brexit, domestic 
testing is more efficient.  
▪ Nextmune Scandinavia Logistics (formerly 
Axaeco) now perform logistics for Nextmune 
Scandinavia. Warehousing to be centralised in 
Q2. 
▪ Nextmune France (formerly LDCA) now sells the 
Nextmune portfolio in France, having shifted 
from distributor to direct sales. 
▪ Cross-fertilisation of leads and congress co-
attendance between Nextmune Scandinavia and 
Specialty Pharmaceuticals in Scandinavia (as 
part of European expansion for Specialty 
Pharmaceuticals)

Segment – MedTech 
 
 
Revenue  
Total revenue in the first quarter grew 43 per cent 
to EUR 36.5 million (25.6). Strong organic revenue 
growth of 24 per cent, contribution from 
acquisitions 15 per cent and positive impact from 
currency movements of 3 per cent. 
 
Strong organic growth of 24 per cent reflects 
successful completion of the expanded annual 
ordering programme (AOP) with high rate of new 
and returning customers. The programme now 
contains the full Movora brand portfolio and grew 
by over 20 per cent reaching approximately EUR 
10m in the first quarter. The AOP results in a pull 
forward of sales from the second and third 
quarters. AOP customers receives their estimated 
full year demand of orthopedic products in one 
shipment, saving time and transportation costs, 
and pay in monthly instalments.  
 
From a regional perspective, the US operations 
remain resilient delivering strong growth. A slower 
start to the year in Europe and in Australia and 
New Zealand during January and February summer 
holiday months, re-accelerating in March.   
Adjusted EBITA 
Adjusted EBITA grew 51 per cent to EUR 14.6 
million (9.7) at a margin of 40 per cent (37.9). 
Normal seasonality for the MedTech segment with 
high margin in the first quarter normalising during 
the year. Rolling twelve months margin at 31.6 per 
end of March benefits from the pull in of high 
margin sales from the second and third quarter. 
During 2022 the segment has strengthened the 
team, added key management positions, and built 
the sales force in Europe. 
Acquisitions 
No new acquisitions were completed during the 
first quarter. Following six acquisitions during 2021 
and 2022 establishing local presence in key 
markets, strengthening the product portfolio – 
work to optimise the supply chain has been 
initiated; rationalise inventory locations, SKU’s, 
distribution, and further digitalising the supply 
chain and cooperation across the Group.

Revenue  
Total revenue for the first quarter grew 102 per 
cent to EUR 11.6 million (5.7). Strong organic 
revenue growth of 16 per cent, contribution from 
acquisitions 89 per cent and negative impact from 
currency movements -3 per cent. 
 
Solid member growth with over 400 new members 
in the quarter, reaching 5,300 members. Continued 
strong conversion of membership upgrades with 16 
per cent of members now in the pro tier. 
The largest revenue stream comes from supplier 
contracts based on member clinics’ total 
purchasing, benefitting from new and renegotiated 
agreements.  
Double digit growth across most markets with the 
largest contribution from France, Spain, and 
Sweden. 
Co-owned clinics now account for almost 40 per 
cent of segment revenue. The clinics delivered 8 
per cent organic growth with a 3 per cent 
improvement in adjusted EBITA margin driven by 
primarily initiatives in pricing, staffing management 
and better procurement terms as part of Vimian. 
Adjusted EBITA 
Adjusted EBITA grew 167 per cent to EUR 2.7 
million (1.0) at a margin of 23.6 per cent (17.8). 
Sequential margin improvement as revenue growth 
accelerates on the back of a solid year of member 
recruitment, price increases and re-negotiated 
supplier agreements.  
Recently acquired companies Vertical Vet and 
heiland.com contributed positively to profitability in 
the first quarter. 
Acquisitions 
During the first quarter Veterinary Services 
acquired one veterinary clinic in Sweden and 
signed an agreement to acquire Vettr, a member 
services platform for veterinary clinics in Australia, 
which was consolidated from 3 April. 
 
Vettr complements VetFamily’s Australian services 
platform Independent Vets of Australia (IVA), 
acquired in July 2021, establishing VetFamily as a 
leading service provider to independent veterinary 
clinics across Australia. The CEO David Butchart 
will continue to lead the company as part of

Organic decline 18 per cent benefit from currency

Organic decline of -18 per cent reflects the phase-
out of Covid related sales which accounted for 
around 20 per cent of sales in the first quarter 
2022. Core veterinary diagnostics sales delivered 
organic growth of around 6 per cent, the third 
consecutive quarter of growth.  
Highest growth seen in APAC offsetting a more 
moderate development in Europe and North 
America.  
A new diagnostics platform, Ovacyte, was 
launched in the equine market in France and

Central Costs 
Central costs in the first quarter amounted to EUR 
-1.7m (-1.2).  The increase compared to the average 
run-rate of EUR 1m per quarter during 2022 
reflects the full impact of the build-up of central 
functions and systems in finance, IT ESG and legal. 
There is also a EUR 0.3m one-time impact of 
reversal of capitalised fees related to the share 
issue in September 2022.  
Seasonal effects  
Vimian assesses that its revenues and EBITA to a 
limited degree are affected by seasonality. The four 
segments have varying, but limited, seasonality 
patterns. The strongest seasonality effect can be 
seen in MedTech, where the first quarter is 
typically the strongest quarter due to the AOP 
programme.

Note 5. Financial instruments 
The carrying amount of the Group’s financial instruments measured at fair value regards contingent considerations (see 
below). The carrying amount of other financial assets and liabilities is deemed to be a good approximation of the fair value. 
Contingent consideration 
In some of the Group’s business combinations, part of the purchase price has been in the form of contingent consideration. 
The contingent considerations depend on the future earnings or sales of the acquired companies. The contingent 
considerations will be settled in cash.

Note 7. Related-party transactions 
There have been no significant changes in the relationships 
with related parties for the Group or the Parent Company 
compared to the information provided in the Annual 
Financial statements. During the first quarter of 2023 
transactions with related parties amounted to EUR 120k, 
primarily services provided by previous owners of acquired 
companies during the initial handover period.  
On the 27 March 2023 Vimian acquired Viking Blues Pty Ltd 
from Nick Bova, who manages Vimian’s specialty 
pharmaceuticals business and through this transaction 
became a significant shareholder, for a consideration of EUR 
42.3 million of which EUR 7m was paid in cash and EUR 
35.3m through ordinary shares issued in kind. 
Note 8. Events after the balance-sheet date 
On 4 April 2023, Vimian’s subsidiary Veterinary Orthopedic 
Implants LLC (“VOI”) reached a settlement agreement with 
DePuy Synthes Products, Inc. and DePuy Synthes Sales, Inc. 
resolving the patent dispute between the parties. Under the 
terms of the agreement, the defendants are obliged to make 
a single payment of USD 70 million, payable in the second 
quarter of 2023. Per the end of 2022, Vimian has booked an 
“other current liability” of USD 70 million and a claim of USD 
56 million (USD 70 million minus USD 20 million withheld at 
acquisition plus USD 6 million of legal costs) towards the 
sellers of VOI as a “current receivable”. This has no impact 
on net debt. Vimian’s view is that through the purchase 
agreement for the acquisition of VOI, Vimian has contractual 
indemnification protection for the amount of the settlement 
and all legal costs to date. 
On 14 April the Board of directors resolved on a share issue 
of 249.482 ordinary shares and 249.482 C shares as part of 
the earn-out to the sellers of Kahu Vet Group in accordance 
with the purchase agreement signed in February 2022.    
Note 9. Alternative performance measures 
Alternative Performance Measures (APMs) are financial 
measures of historical or future financial performance, 
financial position or cash flows that are not defined in 
applicable accounting regulations (IFRS). APMs are used by 
Vimian when it is relevant to monitor and describe Vimian’s 
financial situation and to provide additional useful 
information to users of financial statements. These 
measures are not directly comparable to similar key ratios 
presented by other companies.

ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES 
Reconciliation of alternative performance measures not defined in accordance with IFRS for the group 
Certain statements and analyses presented include alternative performance measures (APMs) that are not defined by IFRS. 
The Company believes that this information, together with comparable defined IFRS metrics, are useful to investors as they 
provide a basis for measuring operating profit and ability to repay debt and invest in operations. Corporate management 
uses these financial measurements, along with the most directly comparable financial metrics under IFRS, to evaluate 
operational results and value added. The APMs should not be assessed in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial 
information presented in the financial statements in accordance with IFRS. The APMs reported are not necessarily 
comparable to similar metrics presented by other companies. The reconciliations are presented in the tables below. 
 
 
 
1 Consists of shareholder loans, deferred payments, vendor notes and contingent considerations related to business combinations included 
in the balance sheet item Other current liabilities. 
2 Other current liabilities as reported in the Statement of financial position less shareholder loans, deferred payments, vendor notes and
