Report of the Executive Director

To the Shareholders,

Ladies and Gentlemen

After a buoyant start to the year, with first-quarter sales up by 13 %, the pace of growth returned to a normal level in the second quarter. At the mid-way stage of the year, Pulsion can report sales growth of 7.3 %, slightly ahead of the guidance for the full year 2013 of 6 %.

Six-month sales of the Critical Care business unit were 5.6 % up on the previous year, while Perfusion business rose by 15.2 % – the seventh quarter in succession with double-digit growth.

The EBIT margin for the six-month period was 25.9 % compared to 27.8 % one year earlier. In the period from January to June 2013, write-downs on receivables in Spain and exchange rate losses had the effect of reducing the EBIT margin by 4.0 percentage points compared to the previous year. In current operating terms therefore, the EBIT margin was in fact 2.1 percentage points ahead of the previous year.

Free cash flow for the six-month period, after adjustment for special factors, improved slightly by EUR 0.1 million. The actual amount reported for free cash flow decreased by EUR 3.6 million due to the negative impact of special tax-related factors (outflow of EUR 2.2 million) and the change in net current assets (net outflow of EUR 1.5 million). Earnings per share for the six-month period amounted to EUR 0.51 compared to EUR 0.42 in the previous year, an improvement of 21 %.

In May 2013, the Company paid a dividend for the first time. This comprised an ordinary dividend of EUR 0.30 per share plus a special dividend of EUR 1.35 per share, giving a total of EUR 1.65 per share.

Overall, the progress made over the course of the first six months of the year has been in line with expectations. In the meantime, we are becoming increasingly confident that we will reach our guidance figures for the year. These are:

- Sales growth of at least 6 %

- EBIT margin within a corridor of 24 % to 28 %

Interim Group Management Report

of PULSION Medical Systems SE for period from January 1 to June 30, 2013

Sales

Business Units

Six-month sales of the Critical Care business unit grew by 6 % compared to the previous year.

Sales of monitors developed particularly well during the period under report. The 20 % increase in new installations provides a good foundation for growing disposables business in the coming quarters. During the first half of the year itself, sales of

disposables increased by only 2 %. Sales generated by companies directly managed

by the Group rose by 4 %, slightly down on the medium-term growth rate, whereas sales to distributors fell by 7 % during six-month period. The variance is believed to reflect the cyclical pattern of ordering of our customers.

Six-month sales of the Perfusion business unit rose by 15 %.

Revenue from the sale of monitors was below the previous year's corresponding figure, whereas disposables business grew in the second quarter by 11 %, following on from the 29 % growth recorded in the first quarter. Overall, six-month sales generated in this line of business were 20 % up on the previous year.

Sales by region

Sales in the DACH region in the first six months of 2013 were at a similar level to the previous year.

The Western Europe region excluding DACH reported growth of 5 % for the six-month period, helped primarily by a good sales performance in France and the Benelux countries. The rate of contraction in the so-called PIGS countries (Portugal, Italy, Greece, Spain) slowed down to only 11 %, a noticeable improvement on the 58% drop recorded in the first quarter of the year.

Eastern Europe was also able to turn round the negative trend recorded in the first

quarter, when sales went down by 18 %. The second-quarter rise, however, was not sufficient to make up the shortfall, leaving sales for the six-month period still 3 % down on the previous year.

The renewed increase in sales recorded in the USA was largely attributable to orders taken in by the Perfusion business unit.

Our distributor in Japan was 14 % ahead of the previous year for the six-month period, and, not surprisingly, was unable to keep up the soaring growth rate of 27 % recorded in the first quarter.

Six-month sales generated in emerging markets – defined as the last three regions in the table above – were 34% up on the previous year. Once again, the motor for this growth was the Chinese market. Following the receipt of a number of product approvals, the first sales were booked with our Mexican joint venture partner. The sales performance in Brazil, however, fell short of expectations.

Sales structure

All three sales channels recorded positive growth over the first six months of the year. Direct sales in particular put on a spurt in the second quarter. Sales via joint ventures and distributors rose sharply for the six-month period, whereby cyclical ordering patterns by customers clearly favored the sales performance in the first quarter.

Monitor utilization level

It is well known that PULSION’s business model is based on the razor/razor blade approach. Our aim is to continuously increase sales of our disposable products by expanding the installed base of monitors and encouraging more intensive use of those monitors.

In keeping with the reporting standard normally used in the medical technology field, the number of monitors placed comprises all placements made in the last 7 years, since this corresponds to the expected useful life of a monitor. In the case of disposables, we have only taken PiCCO catheters into account:

a) Accumulated PiCCO monitor sales and placements in the past 7 years (excluding modules placed with business partners):

at June 30, 2013: 4,105 at June 30, 2012: 4,054

b) Disposables per monitor extrapolated to a 12-month period: at June 30, 2013: 21.9

at June 30, 2012: 22.2

Based on the above figures, the utilization intensity of monitors fell slightly during the first half of 2013. This development was influenced in particular by the lower level of

disposables sold to distributors.

Earnings performance

The gross margin for the six-month period was 70.0 % (HY 1 2012: 70.3 %) and hence right on line with target. This was achieved despite the fact that new user fees introduced by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2013 reduced earnings by approximately KEUR 95 or 0.5 % of sales.

Sales and marketing expenses for the first half of the year were 2.0 % higher than in

the previous year at KEUR 5,244 (HY 1 2012: KEUR 5,142) and represented 28.3 % of sales (2012: 29.8%). PULSION's selling capacities were expanded in emerging countries and Latin America.

At KEUR 823, six-month research and development expenses were KEUR 286 lower than in 2012 (KEUR 1,109). The reduction compared to the previous was due to the capitalization of development costs for two major near-market projects. Before capitalization of such costs, the R&D ratio for the six-month period was 7.0 % (HY 1 2012: 6.5 %). The R&D team was strengthened during the second quarter, as a result of which the R&D ratio can be expected to rise further over the course of the year.

Six-month general and administrative expenses amounting to KEUR 1,905 were significantly higher than one year earlier (HY 1 2012: KEUR 1,677). The expense ratio for the six-month period increased accordingly from 9.7 % to 10.3 %. It remains our target to achieve a ratio below the 10 % mark.

Net operational costs (i.e. net of other operating income) in the first six months

increased by KEUR 677 from KEUR 7,329 in 2012 to KEUR 8,006 in 2013. The principal changes compared to the previous year related to the increase in the general allowance on trade accounts receivable in Spain (up by KEUR 547), measured in accordance with the Group's rules based on the number of days outstanding. We expect these receivables to be settled over the course of the year. The second major negative factor came from exchange rate losses totaling KEUR 210.

Overall, PULSION reports an EBIT for the six-month period of KEUR 4,807, corresponding to an EBIT margin of 25.9 %. In the period from January to June 2013, write-downs on receivables in Spain and exchange rate losses had the effect of reducing the EBIT margin by 4.0 percentage points compared to the previous year. In current operating terms therefore, the EBIT margin was in fact 2.1 percentage points ahead of the previous year (HY 1 2012: KEUR 4,793; 27.8 %).

Segment information shows that the EBIT margin for the Critical Care business unit

over the six-month period was 26.1 %, unchanged from the previous year.

Margins in the Perfusion business unit were lower than in the previous year, mainly as a result of newly introduced fees for product approvals in the USA as well as higher development and selling expenses.

Group net profit for the six-month period amounted to KEUR 4,141, a 15%

improvement on the previous year's KEUR 3,568. The net profit for the second quarter increased to KEUR 2,267 (HY 1 2012: KEUR 2,053).

Earnings per share for the six-month period amounted to 51 cents, 21% higher than in

the same period one year earlier (HY 1 2012: 42 cents). Second-quarter earnings per share increased to 28 cents (HY 1 2012: 24 cents). Treasury shares acquired by the Company have not been included in the calculation of the total number of shares in issue.

Net assets position

Balance sheet structure

No PULSION shares (treasury shares) were bought back during the second quarter 2013. In total, 40,568 shares were bought back during the first six months of 2013. Following the withdrawal of a total of 650,000 shares in accordance with the Administrative Board resolution dated March 14, 2013 and the related reduction in the

number of outstanding shares to 8,250,000, the Company held 43,540 treasury shares

held at June 30, 2013, corresponding to 0.5 % of the Company’s new share capital. On a net basis (i.e. after offset of own shares), the total number of shares therefore remained unchanged at June 30, 2013 at 8,206,460.

Working capital management

Trade accounts receivable increased by KEUR 592 compared to December 31, 2012

to stand at KEUR 5,828 at the end of the reporting period (by comparison: June 30, 2012: KEUR 5,729). A number of major contracts were billed just before the end of the second quarter which fall due for settlement during the third quarter. As a result, the number of days of sales outstanding (DSO) increased to 60 days (compared to 56 days at December 31, 2012 and 54 days at June 30, 2012).

At KEUR 6,788, inventories were KEUR 1,052 higher than at December 31, 2012 and also higher than at the end of the second quarter last year (TEUR 5,067). Inventories on hand at June 30, 2013 corresponded to 135 days (June 30, 2012: 116 days) of production costs. For December 31, 2013, we are targeting a DSO at a similar or lower level to the end of the previous financial year.

Within current liabilities, trade accounts payables increased during the first six months of the year by KEUR 641 to KEUR 2,726.

In direct response to the current assets management issues described above, PULSION has initiated a project to review and optimize the processes affecting this area of the business. First impressions are that the project will highlight a host of process improvements which can be implemented relatively quickly. Our intention is to ensure that trade accounts receivable and inventories levels are no higher at December 31, 2013 than at the end of the previous financial year.

Net liquidity

Cash and cash equivalents amounted to KEUR 973 at June 30, 2013. Net liquidity – defined as cash and cash equivalents less bank and financial liabilities – was a negative amount of KEUR 858 at June 30, 2013.

The deterioration of EUR 11.3 million is primarily attributable to the dividend of EUR 13.5 million paid during the second quarter.

(9)

Financial position

The Group manages cash flow on the basis of the key performance indicator “free cash

flow”, i.e. the cash inflow from operating activities less the cash flow resulting from

changes in net current assets and the cash outflow for investing activities – but before acquisitions and share buybacks. Cash flows for the periods under report are disclosed in the notes and commented on below.

Cash flows from operating activities fell to KEUR 3,199 for the six-month period (HY 1

2012: KEUR 5,060). The main items contributing to the EUR 1.9 million decrease were as follows:

a) deterioration of EUR 2.2 million in the net amount of line items relating to tax in the statement of cash flows.

b) improvement EUR 0.3 million in net amount of all other line items in the statement of cash flows relating to cash flows from operating activities.

The sharp increase in tax payments reflect the fact that tax loss carryforwards available in Germany up to the end of 2011 meant that no or only small amounts of tax (including advance tax payments) were required to be made in years though to 2012. In 2013, however, PULSION was required to make both current and advance tax payments. The change in timing of payments has now largely taken effect, so that the cash impact of tax payments should normalize at a lower level.

Changes in net working capital gave rise to a cash outflow of KEUR 831 in the six-month period under report, a deterioration of KEUR 1,484 compared to the previous year, caused among other things by the fact that the previous year's figure had benefitted from exceptional, state-financed debt repayments in Spain. Within net current assets, trade accounts payable went up by KEUR 940, which did not, however, fully offset the impact of the EUR 1.5 million increase in inventories.

Overall, cash flow from operating activities after changes in net current assets decreased in the first half of 2013 by KEUR 3,345 to KEUR 2,368 (HY 1 2012: KEUR 5,713).

The cash outflow for investing activities for the six-month period went up from TEUR 701 in the previous year to TEUR 938 in the current year.

Free cash flow decreased by KEUR 3,582 to KEUR 1,430 for the six-month period. The

reasons for the decrease, described above, can be summarized as follows:

Cash flow components Amounts in

EUR million

Tax-related items -2.2

Increase in net working capital -1.5

Increase in capital expenditure -0.2

Other operating items +0.3

Total: -3.6

The EBIT /free cash flow conversion rate in the first six months of 2013 was 30 % and was therefore significantly lower than our target of 70 % for the full year. The target remains and PULSION will do all in its power to at least reach this level by the end of the year.

(10)

Personnel

Number of employees

PULSION had an average worldwide workforce of 128 employees in the first half of 2013 (HY 2012: 126). The second quarter of 2013 saw a noticeable increase in the number of employees, with the worldwide workforce totaling 132 employees at June 30, 2013. Most of this increase related to the R&D function, in advance of product launches planned for 2014.

Employee fluctuation

The employee fluctuation rate is calculated on the basis of the average number of employees during the past 12 months - to the end of the reporting period - and the number of employees leaving the Group during that period (BDA formula: fluctuation rate = departures/average number of employees x 100).

Temporary staff and apprentices are not included for the purposes of calculating the employee fluctuation rate.

The fluctuation rate in the sales field force remained stable on a quarter-on-quarter comparison (14 % in both first and second quarters of the current year)

The fluctuation rate in other areas (administration and R&D) fell slightly from 28 % in the first quarter to 27 % in the second.

In the case of employees who have already been with the company for more than one year and who have not left on a temporary basis (i.e. employees on maternity leave), the employee fluctuation rate for the PULSION Group as a whole is 13 %. This level is

considered to be satisfactory.

The difference relates primarily to new recruits who leave during the first 12 months. For this reason, we remain committed to improving our selection and recruiting process on the one hand and to ensuring better integration of new members of staff on the other.

Research and development

New products

A new software version (4.0) for PulsioFlex® has been available since July 2013. The new release enables doctors to identify quickly which values are outside the normal range and which procedures need to be taken.

In June, a development prototype constructed by the Perfusion business unit successfully attained the "functionality test" milestone. This prototype illumination

camera system is able to detect the fluorescence of PULSION-ICG®.

Significant milestones in terms of measurement concept and sensor technology were also achieved during the first half of the year in connection with the continual non-invasive measurement of blood pressure and other hemodynamic parameters. A prototype is scheduled to be presented in March 2014.

Development of a CeVOX® sensor for the US market is in line with schedule. It is planned to submit an approval application to the FDA in December 2013.

Risk and opportunity report

Risks and opportunities and the risk management system of PULSION SE are described in the Annual Report 2012. The situation described in that report has not changed significantly.

Outlook

PULSION recorded sales growth of 7 % for the first six months of 2013. For the full financial year 2013 we are targeting growth of at least 6 %, which would entail a slight acceleration in the growth rate compared to the previous year.

We therefore remain committed to our sales target for the full year and, in the meantime, are becoming increasingly confident that we will reach this target.

After the actual results for the first quarter 2013 became known, a target-EBIT corridor of 24 % to 28 % was announced as guidance for the full year 2013; we consider that this guidance remains realistic.

Earnings per share are expected to be within a range of EUR 0.95 to EUR 1.05, approximately 20 % higher than the previous year's figure of EUR 0.82.

5. Segment information

IFRS 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internally used criteria (the “management approach”). Accordingly, external segment reporting is based on PULSION's internal organizational and management structure and on the way information is reported internally to the "Chief Operating Decision Maker" (Executive Director). IFRS 8 requires an entity to report financial and descriptive information about its reportable segments.

At PULSION, the individual segments are managed on the basis of the operating result achieved. Segment results are measured after taking account of directly attributable income and expenses and costs allocated for cross-segment functions.

7. Earnings per share

Earnings per share are calculated in accordance with IAS 33 on the basis of consolidated earnings for the first six months of the year and the weighted average number of shares and exercisable option rights in circulation during the reporting period.

8. Dividends

In accordance with the resolution passed at the Annual General Meeting held on May 16, 2013, PULSION declared and paid a dividend for the first time in its corporate history.

An amount of EUR 13,490,251.50 out of the unappropriated profit of PULSION Medical Systems SE at December 31, 2012 was used to pay a dividend of EUR 0.30 per share plus a special dividend of EUR 1.35 per share, giving a total of EUR 1.65 per share on 8,175,910 shares entitled to receive a dividend.

The remaining amount of EUR 250,421.97 was carried forward. The dividend was paid on or after May 17, 2013.

9. Order book and price trends

Since PULSION processes customer orders within a few days, it has virtually no order backlog. Despite the launch of a competitor’s product, the Group does not consider at present that it is exposed to price pressure. Revenues are, however, increasingly shifting in favor of disposal products as a result of the competitive situation on the one hand and reticence on the part of customers to make investments on the other. The Group’s products require a high degree of explanation and are marketed with the help of intensive and expert advice.
