3. Sales targets for Hillrom
Our understanding of Addressable Market Opportunity is as follows, based on joint analysis with
Hillrom team:
Plan Current
Last FY 20 Growth %
FY21
Vital Signs 8 500 000 8 585 000 1%
(US$)
From that point here you go proposed consolidated commitments – based on combined MDS Cardio
performance itself and summary of all the other Hillrom partners/distributors in Poland – subject for sole
distribution by MDS Cardio:
It means overall growth expectation for Hillrom business at 111% YoY FY20 to FY21, from app.
$0,75m - in FY20, to $1,5m - in Fy21.
Major contribution comes from new business of VSM – expected to become well marketed and grow
YOY by over app 50%. We want to make it happen by new and more efficient accounts segmentation,
management and development strategy being implemented at MDS already (described later in this
document), as well as new resources to be allocated (already done) and hired in course of FY2021 – as
soon as it’s only possible (please refer to hiring plan reported earlier).
Second biggest contributor is Mortara business, which is already pretty stabilized and we do expect to
get growing partially in line with market dynamics, but also due to new and more efficient accounts
segmentation and management, being already implemented at MDS, as well as new resources to be
hired in course of FY2021 – as soon as it’s only possible (please refer to hiring plan reported earlier).
Third element consists in new product lines to MDS i.e. Therm/BP and PA. This is to be achieved by
dedicating own MDS resources (please refer to resources setup reported earlier), MDS internet shop
(covered later) and partnering with MDS external partners (covered later), including former Hillrom
distributors becoming MDS Cardio subcontractors in FY2021.
4
It all comes with four distinct tasks to be driven over FY21 and on and new MDS Management strategy
framework, both described below:
Accounts segmentation itself including detailed focused accounts set for Hillrom, with respective
resources allocation are both completed and listed below:
As a consequence, dedicated MDS representatives are about to look after geographically segmented
accounts, out of TOP500 and keep focus on particularly app. 120 focused accounts selected for
acquisition, management and development. Selection is based mainly on independent analysis driven by
i.e. CMJ authorities and based on relevant criteria i.e. quality of medical care, IT infrastructure
readiness, financial standing, market competitive management. This is subject for later adjustments in
line with experienced real performance results and new resources being hired in course of FY2021.
That’s all about getting entire sales force to be proactively engaged in market penetration, and doing this
in organized and well setup way, set for activity and performance tracking and management. That
consists of, but it’s not limited to categories as per outcome of business case calculation:

Quarterly Business Plan Tactics
Run Rate Solutions Marketing Programs 14 166
Average Project Value ($) 30 000
Anticipated Yield Rate 40%
# of projects (total) 50
Pipeline Target (QSO's) 124
Pipeline Target ($) 3 726 539
QSO Acquisition Cost 7 453
# of NEW accounts 24
# of EXISTING accounts 32
From that point, here you go MDS Sales Out commitment estimation:
Category Share
Vital Signs 43%
Therm/ Blood Pressure 16%
Physical Assessment 9%
Lighting, WH, RESP, Service 3%
MORTARA 29%

Seasonality total year 100%
Here you go quarterly Sales Out targets with prepared quarterly and YTD monitoring template:

We do consider major opportunities to be lie in:
Growing market for VSM solutions. Expected strenghteening of fierce competition - Mindray, Philips, but still high
dynamics in terms of overall revenue growth, as well as higher margin experience - justifying investment in dedicated
HQ and new dedicated team setup for FY2021, towards better market penetration.
Key opportunities current FY
Gaining back position with Mortara, based on stable market position, by proper business and market segmentation.
Expectatoin to run deals in size of $100k+ each, while giving smaller ones to be managed by Public Tender Team.
New hospital protfolio added. To be driven by existing MDS team: "Disposables" and "Public Tenders Team" and "e-
shopper by MDS" internet shop being considered, and respective Reginal Sales Managers actively promoting.
Positive climate for partnering with selected business partners i.e. former Hillrom distributors, effectively utilizing
multiple sales resources spreaded around entire country.
Key challenges, out of these we can influence and deal with, are as follows.
Key challenges to capture the opportunities
Problem with business case profitability while allocating additional fully dedicated resources (HQ) to Hillrom business.
So far it seems we can setup the team of 7 fully dedicated Sales Managers - 5 of them already on board and 2 to be
hired (in process now).
Gaining necessary knowledge in respect to Hillrom hospital solutions - realtivey new to MDS. Series of trainings and
certifications for MDS by Hillrom (in process now)
New hospital portfolio requires additional investments in i.e. e_shopping solution. The decision to go for it is already
taken, but there is time needed to set it right and get promoted.
Marketing budget to support all activities requred to effectively promote VSM and hospital solutions. Tight
cooperation with Hillrom is a must i.e coop marketing fund and Back&Rebate incentive.
8
To bluntly and firmly comment profitability and investments situation, here you go Hillrom business
case analysis below, with respective product group lines percentage contribution to it.
Please bear in mind this is only healthy, i.e. set for profitable performance, in case MDS delivers all
quarterly commitments and is awarded by Back&Rebate credit. That’s very brave assumption, but in
MDS opinion necessary to go for.

Few comments to it in terms of FY21 planned business case vs. FY20 actuals and reality:
o MDS Sell-out Target is a minimum that business can become profitable for the company
with current and planned headcount and cost setup
o Critical for healthiness of business case – expected business profitability – is successful
quarterly performance by MDS, so the company is granted by respective Back&Rebates,
set in business case at 2% against Sales In performance. This has to be confirmed by
Hillrom upfront, so the business case is solid stated and valid.
o Revenue Type can be seen as some theoretical exercise, but actually we do look for these
three categories:
o Run-Rate – related to two product categories: Therm/ Blood Pressure and
Physical Assessment - to be driven by dedicated manager by MDS subdistis /
partners i.e. former distributors of Hillrom and supported/directed to MDS
e_shop.
o Project – related to two product categories: Vital Signs & Cardio and
MORTARA - to be driven by dedicated sales team and mostly expected to be
multi-unit opportunities after selected named accounts, in size of ~$100k+ each.
o Fulfilment – related to two product categories: Lighting, Women Health,
Service and Respiratory (VEST) - deals developed together with
subdistis/partners i.e. former distributors of Hillrom and supported/directed to
MDS e_shop
o Inventory – including demo equipment to be kept at max. $200k (including new hospital
solutions portfolio), in line with revenue panned and expected for FY21. After recent
inventory check and clearing, it’s all possible and fine.
o Demonstration Equipment – we want to distinguish that cost our from Inventory and keep
an eye on proper usage and utilization. So far, budget is set at minor level, to make
business case running well. Free of charge demo units support by Hillrom are very
welcome. Every Regional Sales Manager is supposed to be fully equipped with proper
demo set. Detail plan provided earlier. It’s all together budgeted in business case for up to
$20k.
o Total Marketing Investments need – that’s pretty modest expectation and we do count on
Hillrom to invest in marketing activities in form of coop marketing sponsoring at budget
level of min. ~$30-35k+ as per business case calculation.
Overall, there is very modest gross profit expected in FY21, respectively 3,9%. It means we’re in the
heavy investment phase, Mortara part of business also has to be manage carefully looking from P&L
perspective, due to experienced push by GE lately, VSM by Philips. Anyway, we see more to gain by
growing sales revenue and gaining market share, than squeezing particular costs, or limiting planned and
rational investments.
From business case perspective we’re ready to execute the business as planned, being aware of series of
critical business case factors to make FY21 fly right:
business
Market segmented named accounts: in line with ranking of biggest, most profitable and well developed hospitals (IT
infrastructure and quality of dignostic services). Based on reports by CMJ, PulsMedycyny, Wprost and others. Selected
120+ hospitals, out of public sector and 20 out of private. Full coverage by dedicated HQ.
Marketing investments, likely with Hillrom participation budgeted and commited at 1.5-2% of expected revenue level,
estimated in Buiness Case outcome at $30-35k level minimum.
Back & Rebate incentive for reaching agreed SalesIn goals at 2% level, i.e. $32k as per Business Case outcome
4. Training needs
Incentives for meeting and overachieving quarterly and yearly revenue targets, i.e.:
quarterly incentive: vouchers or cash; respective % of delivered result.
yearly incentive: Sort of “TOP Performers Club” event by Hillrom

3. Product focus
Entire Hillrom portfolio (covered and listed earlier)
The concept consist in giving dedicated portals to future customers, with agreed portfolio access and
with individually agreed prices.
Goal is to be able to direct also public accounts to “e-shopper by MDS” service, after public tender is
won, so they can order contractual quantities at fixed prices and agreed conditions.
Same concept for non-public accounts, we wish to have contractually agreed products, prices,
conditions, than automatic process for easy execution of orders and purchases
2. Product focus
Hospital solutions by Hillrom mainly.

Marketing strategy – please provide sales and marketing strategy milestones for 2021
Both roles has to be served by Team Leader Sales Manager – Paweł Goławski and supervised by Board
Assistant – Małgorzata Bazańska.
o Showrooom

MDS and Hillrom demo units.
