JØRGEN JENSEN BRITT MEELBY JENSEN
The 2024/25 financial year marked a defining year for Ambu, evolving from transformation to acceleration with the launch of our next-era ZOOM AHEAD strategy. Building on a stronger financial foundation and renewed strategic clarity, we are well-positioned for long-term value creation and achieving global endoscopy leadership.
The 2024/25 financial year was defined by strong growth and solid performance across the business. With 13.1% organic growth, well above the MedTech industry average, we demonstrated our ability to scale in a dynamic market as a trusted partner to hospitals worldwide. As the global shift toward single-use endoscopy gains momentum, we continue to lead the way, powered by strong performance in our Endoscopy Solutions portfolio and our clear commitment to helping hospitals and clinicians achieve higher efficiency, better economics, and clinically impactful care. Our innovative solutions enable more patients to be treated, better and faster, across a growing number of care settings.
Our Respiratory business (renamed from Pulmonology to reflect the breadth of our portfolio) regained solid growth momentum at 11.4%, driven by clinical demand, increased procedural penetration, and portfolio depth and performance. This year, we expanded our Respiratory portfolio with our video laryngoscopy solution, Ambu® SureSight™ Connect. The video laryngoscopy market, now a DKK ~4bn opportunity in the U.S. alone, is growing at 15–20%. Our Ambu® SureSight™ Connect solution positions us to capture this growth, leveraging our portfolio synergies and delivering clinical and efficiency benefits. Clinically proven and highly rated by customers, the solution is off to a strong start in the fast-growing video laryngoscopy market.
Urology, Ear-Nose-Throat (ENT), and Gastroenterology (GI) delivered strong growth of 19.6%, reflecting our continued innovation in Urology. Our new ureteroscopy solution, Ambu® aScope™ 5 Uretero, marks our expansion into kidney stone management, broadening our reach to new hospital customer groups and more advanced clinical procedures. The market represents a DKK ~15bn opportunity, and we are committed to meeting evolving clinical needs for efficiency, clinical performance, and cost-effectiveness, set to elevate our impact in Urology.
For our Anesthesia & Patient Monitoring business, we had a year of extraordinary growth. For the full financial year, we reached a growth of 9.9%. This performance reflects the disciplined execution of our commercial strategy, including targeted price increases and the successful renegotiation of key contracts.
We delivered an EBIT before special items (b.s.i.) of DKK 784m and a margin (b.s.i.) of 13.0%, a solid increase from DKK 645m last year. This result reflects our ability to scale efficiently, even as strategic growth investments and currency fluctuations slowed margin expansion. We operate from a position of financial strength – debt-free and generating solid cash flow. While cash flow ended slightly below our initial expectations, this was a conscious decision to build inventory ahead of key launches and maintain flexibility in a dynamic market environment.
In sustainability, we continued our pioneering approach, solidifying our leadership position within MedTech. A stand-out initiative this year was the launch of our Ambu® Recircle Program – the world's first endoscope recycling initiative. It provides hospitals in our four largest markets with the opportunity to collect and recycle used Ambu endoscopes for new non-medical purposes, helping them lower their carbon footprint and waste.
At the center of all our achievements are our people. We continued to make tangible improvements across our organization, strengthening critical capabilities in key positions, setting a path for effective and empowering leadership, and continuing to increase employee engagement and retention of talent.
The 2024/25 financial year marked the successful conclusion of our three-year turnaround. Through our ZOOM IN strategy, we repositioned Ambu for strong, profitable growth, laying the foundation for our next-era strategy, ZOOM AHEAD. With a bold new aspiration to achieve global endoscopy leadership, we are accelerating our momentum for growth and impact – advancing from a product provider to a full-scale hospital partner.
With this strategy transition, we have raised our organic revenue growth ambition to 11-13% CAGR (previous +10%) and extended our targets through FY 2029/30, while maintaining our organic endoscopy growth target at 15-20%. As a high-growth MedTech company, we remain focused on driving growth, while balancing investments with scalable operations.
We are targeting an EBIT margin above 20% by 2029/30 and are on track to deliver around 20% by 2027/28, with potential trade-off with growth investments. Continued margin expansion will be fueled by both expanding our portfolio and commercial footprint, as well as strengthening our scalability. With a solid balance sheet, disciplined capital allocation, and a focused growth strategy, we are well-positioned to create sustained value for all stakeholders.
Innovation remains central to our strategy. We will continue to invest significantly in R&D to keep our solutions at the forefront of clinical and economic value creation. Across all endoscopy areas – particularly Respiratory and Urology, but also ENT and GI – our focus remains on enabling hospitals to perform more procedures with the same resources. A key focus is the advancement of our proprietary digital EndoIntelligence™ platform, powering performance-enhancing technologies across our endoscopy portfolio.
The global endoscopy market opportunity is immense. Today, only 20% of the Respiratory market has transitioned to single-use solutions, Urology stands at 10%, ENT at 2-4%, and GI remains below 1%. For Respiratory, Urology, and ENT alone, clinicians believe in a future where 70% of procedures have transitioned to singleuse solutions, and as the leader in single-use endoscopy, we are dedicated to leading that shift. For GI, we see long-term potential and are committed to leading the transition through a stepwise approach.
Looking ahead to 2025/26 and beyond, we are committed to executing our strategic roadmap, guided by our long-term aspiration of achieving global endoscopy leadership. With disciplined ambition and operational focus, we are wellpositioned to capture market share and deliver long-term value. We remain closely attuned to macroeconomic shifts and policy developments and are prepared to adapt as needed to ensure strong momentum and performance.
Our achievements this year are built on the trust and support of our employees, customers, and shareholders. On behalf of the Board and Executive Management, thank you for standing with us as we shape the future of endoscopy.
Together, we are building a stronger, more focused Ambu.

Ambu has launched our next-era strategy, ZOOM AHEAD, signaling a pivotal step in our long-term growth trajectory. This strategy reflects an aspiration to achieve global endoscopy leadership and underscores a commitment to setting new standards in the field. In 2024/25, we continued to generate double-digit organic revenue growth, while also improving our profitability.
In 2024/25, the global economy demonstrated resilience amid ongoing geopolitical dynamics. The geopolitical dynamics contributed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and increased costs of raw materials, energy, and logistics. Part of the inflationary pressures are expected to continue into 2025/26.
Despite this dynamic environment, the singleuse endoscopy market is expected to demonstrate continued growth. This is underpinned by increasing demand from hospitals and clinics for solutions that enhance efficiency and costeffectiveness, alongside heightened focus on infection prevention and the proven clinical benefits of single-use technologies. These dynamics position Ambu well to capture long-term value in a structurally high-growing market.
Ambu's Endoscopy Solutions business continues to be the primary growth driver. For 2025/26, we expect Endoscopy Solutions to post organic growth of +15%, with all four endoscopy business areas expected to contribute. This broad-based momentum reflects strong market demand and reinforces our confidence in the scalability and resilience of our endoscopy portfolio.
For Endoscopy Solutions, the more established, yet significantly underpenetrated, Respiratory business group is expected to deliver accelerated organic growth momentum in 2025/26, supported by ongoing enhancements to our Respiratory portfolio solutions. In the business group 'Urology, Ear-Nose-Throat (ENT), and Gastroenterology (GI)', we expect continued strong growth momentum, particularly driven by Urology, with existing and new solutions.
For Anesthesia & Patient Monitoring (A & PM), Ambu has managed to increase profitability by raising prices in selected low-margin areas. We will continue to strengthen pricing governance to expand margins. Furthermore, we will optimize our commercial organization to support growth, as well as invest in our supply chain to maintain high reliability. For 2025/26, Ambu
expects Anesthesia & Patient Monitoring to grow mid-single digits.
Overall, for the 2025/26 financial year, Ambu's total organic revenue growth is expected to be 10-13%, compared to 13.1% in 2024/25. The total growth is expected to be back-end loaded.
EBIT margin before special items is expected to be 12-14%, compared to 13.0% in 2024/25. This will be driven by both an improved gross margin and operating leverage, partly offset by growth investments. The EBIT margin is expected to be back-end loaded. Excluding tariff impacts of ~2%-pts, EBIT margin is expected to be 14-16% given the current schedule of expected tariffs. Mitigation actions, including investing in Americas, are ongoing, and the effect will diminish over the coming years.
Ambu's cash conversion is expected to be +40%, compared to 35% in 2024/25. The continued increased cash flow will be driven by a higher EBITDA before special items and continued improvements from transformation efforts.

The financial outlook for 2025/26 is based on the exchange rate assumptions stated at the top of the table below. Approximately 51% of Ambu's total revenue is invoiced in USD. Furthermore, approximately 31% of revenue is invoiced in EUR or DKK, and approximately 8% is invoiced in GBP, while the remaining 10% is invoiced in other currencies. Production and capacity costs are predominantly settled in USD, DKK, EUR, MYR, and CNY. The effect of a weakening of 10% relative to the Danish krone is estimated to be as depicted in the table below.

Forward-looking statements, in particular relating to future sales, operating income, and other key financials, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Various factors, many of which lie outside Ambu's control, may cause the realized results to differ materially from the expectations presented in this report. Such factors include, but are not confined to, changes in market conditions and the competitive situation, changes in demand and purchasing patterns, fluctuations in foreign exchange and interest rates, as well as general economic, political, and commercial conditions. See also the section concerning risks on p. 37.
During 2024/25, Ambu upgraded the outlook for organic revenue growth and EBIT margin before special items (b.s.i.) on two occasions in total. Firstly, in January 2025, we raised our guidance for organic revenue growth to 11-14%, from 10-13%, and for EBIT margin b.s.i. to 13-15%, from 12-14%, based on better-than-expected revenue growth in Anesthesia & Patient Monitoring. Secondly, in August 2025, we raised the lower end of our organic revenue guidance to 12-14% (previously 11-14%), driven by continued procedure growth and conversion toward single-use solutions.

The market potential of single-use endoscopy represents a DKK 190bn opportunity at full single-use penetration. Across the four major endoscopy areas – Respiratory, Urology, Ear-Nose-Throat, and Gastroenterology – only 3-4% of that potential has been realized, reflecting a significant headroom for further growth.
Today, the global Respiratory market is 20% penetrated, Urology stands at 10%, and ENT at 2-4%, while GI remains below 1%. For Respiratory, Urology, and ENT alone, clinicians believe in a future where 70% of procedures have transitioned to single-use.1
The single-use market is expected to grow +20% annually from 2025-2030, supported by underlying endoscopy procedure growth and a continued conversion from reusable endoscopes to single-use endoscopes. This growth is driven by increasing procedure volumes and accelerating adoption of single-use technologies, underpinned by clear advantages in efficiency, economics, clinical performance, and sustainability.

Health systems worldwide face growing pressure from staff shortages, rising patient volumes, tight budgets, and sustainability demands. Additionally, care is shifting toward outpatient settings, reflecting a need for more efficient, affordable, and high-performance solutions. Singleuse endoscopy helps solve these growing challenges by enhancing efficiency, reducing costs, delivering strong clinical performance, and improving sustainability – driving fast adoption and creating real value for healthcare providers and patients alike.

With our ZOOM IN strategy, we have delivered a successful turnaround ahead of plan, securing focused execution and strong profitable growth.
In November 2022, we launched Ambu's focused turnaround strategy, ZOOM IN. At the time, we were navigating a challenging situation shaped by overly optimistic growth expectations in the wake of the global pandemic. With ZOOM IN, we set out to sharpen our focus, accelerate our execution, and drive strong profitable growth.
In less than three years, we successfully completed our turnaround. Our ZOOM IN chapter was defined by strong endoscopy innovation, operational excellence, and impactful transformation across our global organization. These achievements have not only stabilized our business but also reignited momentum across Ambu. Thanks to the progress made, we now stand on a solid platform for the next phase of high growth and impact – a platform that is driven by clear strategic focus, ambitious goals, and a bold aspiration to achieve global endoscopy leadership.

Ambu's ZOOM AHEAD strategy marks a pivotal next era in our growth journey – one defined by focus, ambition, and acceleration.
Building on the momentum of our successful ZOOM IN strategy, we are now well-positioned to accelerate our growth trajectory and customer impact. As we kicked off the 2025/26 financial year, we launched our next-era strategy, ZOOM AHEAD. Focused on raising the bar for endoscopy, our new, long-term aspiration is clear: We want to achieve global endoscopy leadership.
Our ZOOM AHEAD strategy marks the first step on this long-term journey. It is a focused and ambitious growth strategy that sets a clear path to global endoscopy leadership through focus and differentiation. Our strategy is built on clear strategic choices and themes, guiding Ambu to accelerate growth and impact in a large, highgrowth endoscopy market that is rapidly shifting to single-use solutions.
The endoscopy market continues to represent an attractive growth opportunity for Ambu.
Today, single-use endoscopy accounts for just 3-4% of the global endoscopy market. From 2025 to 2030, this market is expected to grow by more than 20% annually, driven by underlying growth in endoscopy procedures and, in particular, the continued conversion from reusable to singleuse endoscopes.
As the market leader in single-use endoscopy, Ambu is heading up this structural shift. We offer the broadest single-use solutions portfolio and a proprietary technology platform, EndoIntelligence™, designed to help clinicians and health systems treat more patients and drive better outcomes. This strong position provides a clear path to deliver double-digit growth and margin expansion through 2030.
With ZOOM AHEAD, we are dedicated to increasing our ambition level, channeling investments where we can create the greatest impact for customers and patients – and lead the market.

ZOOM AHEAD is our focused and ambitious 2030 strategy, setting the path for our next era of accelerated profitable growth and impact.
Guided at every step by our bold, long-term aspiration to achieve global endoscopy leadership, our ZOOM AHEAD strategy model sets clear strategic choices for our business areas and portfolio, and is enabled by four strategic themes.

Strategy

Ambu's ZOOM AHEAD strategy is built on clear choices and prioritization, ensuring focus and differentiation across our portfolio and business areas.
Respiratory (formerly named Pulmonology) and Urology are Ambu's core business areas. In both, our strategic choice is to 'win' - by expanding our leadership position and driving the transition toward making singleuse the standard of care. The renaming of Respiratory represents our portfolio evolution, encompassing the full range of airway visualization procedures we support under one inclusive term.
ENT (Ear-Nose-Throat) is a strategically important growth area for Ambu. Our strategic choice here is to 'grow' by continuing to strengthen our leadership position and accelerate revenue growth, leveraging our strong market presence and the increasing adoption of single-use solutions.
Gastroenterology (GI) is a long-term strategic ambition for Ambu. While single-use endoscopy solutions are still less adopted in GI compared to the other endoscopy areas, we are confident in the transition. With a proven track record, we are uniquely positioned to 'unlock' GI in the long term - leading this transition through a stepwise approach.
EndoIntelligence™ (formerly named Digital Solutions & Systems) refers to our proprietary digital platform that powers performance across all four endoscopy areas: Respiratory, Urology, ENT, and GI. We are committed to advancing Al-powered and performance-enhancing technologies to support clinicians before, during, and after procedures, and further differentiate our endoscopy offering to be centered around patient outcomes and customer efficiency.
Anesthesia & Patient Monitoring remains an important part of our business. While not the focus of our growth strategy, it plays a role in powering our ambition. Our high-quality products and leading market position ensure the continued strength and stable revenue of Anesthesia & Patient Monitoring, allowing us to invest in endoscopy where we see the greatest opportunity to lead and make a lasting impact.
Turning ambitions into measurable results and long-term success.
We will broaden our focus beyond healthcare professionals to deliver integrated, scalable solutions at the health system level. With targeted, commercial execution, we will accelerate adoption and strengthen our position through clear differentiation. We will lead in sustainability through a pioneering customer offering and partnership to help customers reduce emissions and waste, supporting their sustainability targets.
Innovation at Ambu centers on delivering bold and breakthrough customer-centric solutions that improve patient outcomes and customer efficiency. We will deploy transformative technology to strengthen the link between hardware and intelligent software to deliver advanced solutions that streamline workflows and boost clinical confidence. To keep our pipeline strong and scalable, we are using a partnership model to maximize and accelerate innovation, while keeping our core expertise in-house.
Our business platform focuses on building a scalable foundation for growth that enables margin expansion. We will continue to advance our operating model and secure globally resilient operations by balancing our footprint and strengthening supply chain resilience to reliably deliver innovative solutions. Through streamlining processes and expanding shared service centers, we will enhance productivity and future-proof our infrastructure.

Delivering doubledigit organic revenue growth and margin expansion by 2030, supported by disciplined capital allocation
1 Single-use market growth. 2 Share of market value.

Increased and extended long-term financial targets toward 2029/30.
Ambu has successfully executed on our ZOOM IN strategy launched in November 2022. In less than three years, we have reestablished a robust financial foundation, delivering strong double-digit revenue growth, increasing the EBIT margin, generating a strong free cash flow, and eliminating all debt.
Building on this momentum, our ZOOM AHEAD strategy includes a long-term aspiration to achieve global endoscopy leadership. It marks a defining moment in Ambu's growth journey to raise the bar for endoscopy.
Today, single-use endoscopy represents 3-4% of the global endoscopy market. It is expected to grow +20% annually, supported by underlying endoscopy procedure growth and, in particular, continued conversion from reusable endoscopes to single-use endoscopes.
With the launch of our ZOOM AHEAD strategy, we also introduced increased and extended long-term financial targets and reinforced our disciplined capital deployment, focusing investments on sustainable, profitable growth.
At Group level, we expect a 5-year organic revenue CAGR target of 11-13% for the 2029/30 financial year. Within this, Endoscopy Solutions is expected to grow at a CAGR of 15-20%, while Anesthesia & Patient Monitoring is projected at 3-5%.
Furthermore, we target an EBIT margin before special items of +20% by the 2029/30 financial year. Given the market potential, Ambu aims to balance growth and profitability, in line with longterm targets, allowing short-term EBIT margin trade-offs to support sustainable growth investments.
Finally, we expect cash conversion (defined as free cash flow before acquisitions divided by EBITDA before special items) of +40% for the period. The targeted cash conversion is based on net working capital to 12-month rolling sales of around 20% and CAPEX of 6-10% of sales. Strong cash conversion remains a key priority for Ambu to fund and drive accelerated growth.

Ambu's Endoscopy Solutions business continued to be our biggest revenue contributor in 2024/25. It accounted for 60% of total revenue, with organic revenue growth of 15.4%.
We experienced growth across both our Respiratory business group and our Urology, ENT (Ear-Nose-Throat), & GI (Gastroenterology) business group, mainly driven by the continued growth of our existing solutions in a high-growth endoscopy market.
The global endoscopy market continued to grow, contributing to strong growth in the single-use market through further adoption.
The Urology, ENT, & GI business group posted 19.6% organic revenue growth. Ambu's singleuse market share continued to grow, primarily driven by continued penetration of our existing solutions from the aScope™ 4 portfolio. Urology continued strong growth momentum, while ENT delivered solid growth at a structurally lower pace than Urology. With innovation and system integration driving future upside, we are wellpositioned to win in Urology and grow in ENT. As expected, revenue from our newly launched solutions was limited, reflecting the typical length of hospitals' sales processes. Growth in GI was mainly driven by our two gastroscopy solutions. Although GI remains a smaller part of our total endoscopy growth today, it holds significant long-term growth potential – with Ambu as the natural leader to drive single-use conversion in GI through a stepwise and focused approach.
The Respiratory (formerly named Pulmonology) business group posted 11.4% organic revenue growth. The continued growth acceleration in Respiratory was driven by both our existing broad portfolio of bronchoscopy solutions and the launch of our new Ambu® SureSight™ Connect video laryngoscopy solution, launched this financial year. Respiratory was renamed from Pulmonology to reflect the broad clinical scope of our offering – bronchoscopy, video laryngoscopy,

and one-lung ventilation – under one inclusive term. A comprehensive offering that is continuously expanding and evolving, all with the aim of driving further single-use conversion.
In Urology, we launched Ambu ® aScope™ 5 Uretero and Ambu ® aScope™ 5 Cysto HD at the start of 2024/25. Additionally, we extended our CE mark and FDA clearance for Ambu ® aScope™ 5 Cysto HD, clearing the solution to function as a cysto-nephro-scope for removal of large kidney stones during PCNL (percutaneous nephroli thotomy) procedures. The new solutions mark a key expansion of our Urology portfolio, as the combination of Ambu ® aScope™ 4 Cysto, Ambu ® aScope™ 5 Cysto HD, and Ambu ® aScope™ 5 Uretero provides urologists with an extensive offering of advanced solutions that address a wide range of patient needs – all powered by our Endo - Intelligence™ platform with our two endoscopy systems, Ambu ® aView™ 2 Advance and Ambu ® aBox™ 2. Our new solutions represent new customer groups at hospitals, as well as more complex procedures, requiring a refined commercial approach to this new context. Also, ureteroscopy is an area with many endoscopy providers, making sales cycles generally more extensive, and so it takes time to generate meaningful revenue from our new solution. Even though our new solutions and indications did not contribute significantly to our endoscopy growth this year, the performance feedback was very positive, and we are confident in our growth potential for the future.
In Respiratory, we launched our video laryngoscopy solution, Ambu® SureSight™ Connect, throughout the year. In early 2025, it was launched together with a handful of blades; then we expanded with more blades for pediatric patients later in the year, completing the blade portfolio. The feedback from clinicians on the solution has been highly positive. They highlight the benefits of our Respiratory portfolio synergies, where Ambu ® SureSight™ and our bronchoscopes can be used simultaneously with our dual view functionality. This allows for faster intubation and positioning for customers during procedures.
Looking ahead, Ambu is well-positioned to win in Respiratory and extend our global endoscopy leadership position. We will advance our innova tion and commercial execution to grow market leadership and single-use adoption and lead intelligent care delivery via our EndoIntelligence™ platform to create further differentiation and customer-connected solutions. Of the four major endoscopy business areas, Respiratory is the most mature single-use market, yet significantly underpenetrated with only 20% of the market having transitioned to single-use solutions. We will harness our extensive portfolio, proven experience, and leadership position to accelerate adoption. With physicians believing in a future where 70% of procedures are performed with single-use solutions, we are firmly positioned on a winning growth trajectory in the years ahead.

Our Anesthesia & Patient Monitoring business accounted for 40% of Ambu's total revenue in 2024/25. The revenue grew organically by 9.9%, driven both by price increases and volume development.
Overall, the growth of our Anesthesia & Patient Monitoring business was driven by strong volume development throughout the year, while previously announced price increases had an extraordinarily positive effect in first half of the year.
Furthermore, we supported rising demand from health systems and national defence bodies by delivering essential solutions for ventilation, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and CPR training, addressing the unstable situation in parts of the world.
The increased demand of Ambu's Anesthesia & Patient Monitoring solutions reflects the premium quality we consistently deliver and reinforces our position as a trusted global partner. Notably, our iconic Ambu Bag and our Ambu® BlueSensor ECG electrodes remain reference products for clinicians all around the world.
The markets within Anesthesia & Patient Monitoring are fragmented but typically more mature and steadily growing, driven by demographics, increased healthcare access, and chronic diseases. With refined market data access and the implementation of price increases in low-margin areas, we have changed our longterm outlook assumption to 3-5% market growth versus previously 2-4%.
Ambu holds – and is expected to maintain – a leading position in our markets, backed by our strong and proven portfolio of premium-quality solutions. The combined strength of our Anesthesia and Respiratory portfolios create clear synergies for healthcare professionals, positioning Ambu as a trusted global partner across anesthesia, pulmonology, respiratory care, and airway management.


Total reported revenue in 2024/25 was DKK 6,037m, corresponding to reported growth of 12.0% and organic growth of 13.1%, compared to 2023/24.
Organic growth was primarily driven by solid Endoscopy Solutions growth, while Anesthesia & Patient Monitoring (A & PM) continued strong momentum, driven by solid volume growth and the strategic decision to increase prices in low-margin areas. Across regions, North America continued its high growth momentum, with Europe and Rest of World posting solid growth as well.

Gross margin in 2024/25 was 60.2%, corresponding to an increase of 0.8%-pts, compared to 2023/24. The increase in gross margin was driven by economies of scale in production costs as the utilization rate of existing production sites continues to increase, higher revenue share in the more profitable Endoscopy Solutions business, and price increases in A & PM.
OPEX to revenue in 2024/25 was 47.2%, corresponding to a decrease of 0.2%-pts, compared to 2023/24. The decrease was driven by a more effective distribution set-up and scale in admini-

stration costs, although, offset by increased sales and marketing costs that increased in line with the strategy to invest in our commerical infrastructure.
DA was DKK -372m, compared to -364m (excluding special items) in 2023/24. DA primarily comprise amortization of internal development projects and acquired technologies.
EBIT margin b.s.i. in 2024/25 was 13.0%, corresponding to an increase of 1.0%-pts, compared to 2023/24. The increase was driven by revenue growth. EBIT margin was negatively impacted by external factors that included tariff costs of more than DKK 40m and a limited impact from FX mainly due to USD/DKK development, which is being naturally hedged. However, the EBIT margin was postively impacted by continued operational leverage from the solid organic growth.
Despite negative impact from these external factors, the significant investment in commercial infrastructure to drive future growth remained
unchanged. The negative impact from FX and tariffs will leave a short-term impact, but is expected to be managed in the longer term as FX markets stabilize and tariff mitigation actions continue, building on the significant investments already made in North America, which are also set to continue. This reflects the continuation of a strategic vision established years ago to expand production in North America to meet the needs of the North American market.
No special items in 2024/25.
Net financials in 2024/25 were DKK -29m, compared to DKK -11m in 2023/24. The limited net financial amount reflected our strong financial position, with limited debt.
Tax in 2024/25 was DKK -146m (DKK -65m), corresponding to an effective tax rate of 19% (22%). The slightly lower effective tax rate was mainly related to the one-time tax income of DKK 28m due to reassesment of uncertain tax position.
CFFO in 2024/25 was DKK 791m. The solid cash flow was driven by improved operating profitability (EBITDA), offset by elevated inventory levels to support the commercialization of new solutions and secure a stable supply chain in a shifting geopolitical landscape.
CFFI before acquisitions was DKK 384m, corresponding to 6% of the total revenue – or 11% of our endoscopy revenue – which is a more suitable metric as most CFFI go into Endoscopy Solutions.
CFFI was primarily driven by R&D activities that amounted to DKK 244m, corresponding to 4% of revenue, although, when factoring in development costs less depreciation, amortization, and impairment losses, total R&D expenditure amounted to DKK 381m (DKK 320m), corresponding to 6% (6%) of total revenue.
FCF before acquisitions was DKK 407m, corresponding to a decrease of DKK 117m, compared to 2023/24. Ambu's underlying profitable growth (measured by EBITDA) continued to improve. Despite facing external headwinds, including unfavorable foreign exchange (FX) impacts and increased tariffs, innovation and commercial
investments proceeded as planned, to support long-term growth. To manage the ongoing geopolitical uncertainties, inventory levels have been deliberately maintained at elevated levels. As a result, overall investment growth outpaced the increase in profitability during the year.
No acquisitions were made in 2024/25.
CFFF in 2024/25 was DKK -153m, stemming from dividend distribution and repayment of lease liabilities.
At 30 September 2025, cash and cash equivalents were DKK 866m, reflecting an increase of DKK 251m since last year, driven by the free cash flow.
Committed undrawn sustainability-linked credit facilities amounted to DKK 1,000m, with an additional accordion of DKK 1,000m.

Cash conversion


At 30 September 2025, total assets were DKK 7,675m, corresponding to an increase of DKK 521m, compared to 30 September 2024. The development was mainly driven by increased cash and cash equivalents of DKK 251m and higher inventories of DKK 194m.
At 30 September 2025, invested capital was DKK 5,716m, corresponding to an increase of DKK 179m, compared to 30 September 2024. The increase was driven by higher net working capital.
ROIC in 2024/25 was 11%, corresponding to an improvement of 2%-pts, compared to 2023/24. The increase reflects our strategy's aim to drive profitable growth via a focused investment approach.
At 30 September 2025, net working capital was DKK 1,238m, corresponding to 21% of revenue. The current level was slightly above the objective of 20% of revenue, mainly due to elevated inventory levels.
At 30 September 2025, NIBD was DKK -319m, corresponding to a decrease of DKK 262m, compared to 30 September 2024. The decrease was driven by solid cash flow, with approximately maintained levels of lease liabilities.
At 30 September 2025, NIBD to EBITDA b.s.i. was -0.3x, corresponding to a decrease of 0.2x, compared to 30 September 2024. The decrease was driven by improved operating profitability (EBITDA b.s.i).
At 30 September 2025, equity was DKK 6,035m, corresponding to an increase of DKK 441m, compared to 30 September 2024. The increase was mainly due to increased free cash flow.
Total comprehensive income in 2024/25 was DKK 500m, primarily driven by net profit of DKK 609m. This was partially offset by a negative translation adjustment of DKK 109m in foreign subsidiaries, mainly due to depreciation of USD/DKK.
Dividend worth DKK 102m was paid out during 2024/25, corresponding to 43% of net profit.
Other in 2024/25 was DKK 42m, due to sharebased payments and exercise of options.
At 30 September 2025, treasury shares amounted to 2.739m class B shares, changed from 2.905m since 30 September 2024. The decrease of 0.166m reflected shares distributed to employees.

For Ambu, timely due diligence and careful management of risks and opportunities are part of responsible corporate governance and support our pursuit of sustainable growth and, thereby, increased company value. This makes it essential to manage risks and opportunities appropriately.
Our risk management is an integral part of the planning and implementation of our business strategies. Ambu's Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) process focuses on early identification,
thorough assessment, and continuous management of risks and opportunities that could impact strategic, operational, financial, or compliance objectives. The goal is to reduce risks to acceptable levels and ensure only calculated risks are taken.
Ambu has established an ERM system to ensure that the most significant risks and opportunities,

in the short to medium term, are identified and assessed. Potential new risks, as well as updates to the mitigation plans, are reported to Global Risk & Compliance on a quarterly basis. While reporting generally follows a quarterly cycle, this regular reporting process is complemented by an ad hoc reporting process that aims to escalate critical issues in a timely manner. The long-term risks are integrated into the overall development of Ambu's strategy and business plans. This year, further focus was on strengthening the framework for developing and implementing business continuity plans, ensuring that we can maintain or quickly resume essential operations during and after potential disruptions.
Relevant risks are prioritized in terms of impact and likelihood, considering different perspectives, including business objectives, reputation, and regulatory matters. Responsibilities are assigned for all relevant risks and opportunities. The hierarchical assignment of responsibility depends on the significance of the risk or opportunity. In a first step, assuming responsibility involves choosing one of our general response strategies. The general risk response strategies are to avoid, transfer, reduce, retain, or watch the relevant risk. The general response strategy for opportunities is to pursue the opportunity concerned. In a second step, responsibilities involve developing, initiating, and monitoring appropriate response measures according to the chosen response strategy, within an appropriate time frame. To allow for effective risk management, these response measures must be specifically tailored to relevant circumstances.
Based on the reported risks and updated mitigation plans, Global Risk & Compliance conducts a series of in-depth interviews with risk officers in the organization, after which the most significant risks are assessed by risk boards, before being reported to the Executive Management and the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis.
The management of each function is responsible for identifying, assessing, and managing the risks associated with their part of the organization. The Executive Management is responsible for determining Ambu's overall risk profile, in alignment with the our strategy and values. They are also responsible for delegating responsibility for the shared risks across the organization, as well as for approving the mitigating activities that address the most significant risks.
The Board of Directors monitors and reviews the reported risks and the planned mitigation, as well as any recommendations from the Executive Management, every quarter.

In brief Strategy Performance Governance Sustainability Financial statements 38

Ambu's achievement of our strategic targets depends on our ability to develop relevant and unique solutions of high quality. A good clinical and commercial understanding of the sector's long-term needs, as well as customer insights regarding decision-making processes and targeted procedures in selected segments, are essential for integration into product development to keep our market leader position.

As a manufacturer and distributor of medical devices, Ambu adheres to the legislation of the territories in which we operate. Failure to comply may adversely affect our ability to market our solutions. There is an inherent risk of supply chain disruptions, due to infrastructure breakdowns or congestion where delays can lead to higher freight rates. Furthermore, increased demand and/or supply shortages may lead to increased raw material and energy costs and a potential delay of orders to our customers.
Geopolitical risks, such as trade restrictions, sanctions, or conflicts, might impact the availability and cost of raw materials, components, and products, leading to supply chain disruptions.
Global production sites with multiple facilities and maintaining adequate safety stock.


There is a constant and ongoing focus on reducing healthcare costs and ensuring better patient care in Ambu's key markets. This leads to a general demand for hospitals to become more efficient. Ambu's Anesthesia & Patient Monitoring business has historically experienced modest price pressures, while prices within the Endoscopy Solutions business have been more stable.

Climate change in general, including the increased frequency of extreme weather conditions, is assessed to pose a limited risk to Ambu. Climate-related risks are identified as part of our risk management process and are assessed and responded to according to a standardized process for estimating the impact and likelihood of risks in view of their impact on revenue, cost, and reputation, as well as the related compliance requirements.
Increased compliance requirements and demand for more sustainable products and packaging.
Risk scenario analyses are conducted at regular intervals in accordance with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure framework (TCFD) to assess the potential future risks and to ensure business continuity.

Cybercriminal and geopolitical activities continue to occur globally. Cybercrime poses a significant risk to Ambu's operations and could impact delivery performance and competitive advantage.

Ambu operates in a global environment where geopolitical tensions, trade disputes, and regulatory shifts can create uncertainty and disruption, but also opportunities. Variations in political stability, international relations, and trade policies across regions increase the complexity of global operations and supply chains. These dynamics pose risks to Ambu's market access, cost structure, and strategic planning, requiring continuous monitoring and proactive mitigation.
Increased competition in the markets. Higher costs could lead to increased competition against domestic or tariff-exempt suppliers.
Diversification of supply chains. Reduce dependency on single countries by sourcing materials and components from multiple regions.


The development of Ambu's results and equity is subject to several financial risks, including foreign exchange risks, interest rate risks, liquidity risks, and credit risks, as well as the risk of changing international trading conditions.

Ambu operates in a highly regulated industry that is subject to great variation in laws and regulations across geographies and business areas, leading to a complex and often unpredictable legal environment. Enforcement of various anti-corruption, data-privacy, and healthcare-related laws and regulations, as well as increased public awareness of business ethics and protection of personal data, contribute to an increased risk to Ambu.
Investigations by authorities and/or criminal sanctions and other penalties, in case of non-compliance.
Ongoing implementation and monitoring of Ambu's compliance programs, including training and auditing activities.
The overall objective of remuneration is to create value for shareholders by enabling Ambu to attract and retain the bestqualified directors and executives. The Remuneration Policy and Remuneration Report for the Board of Directors and Executive Management are available at Ambu.com/reports.
The remuneration of the Board of Directors and Executive Management is in accordance with the Remuneration Policy and the incentive guidelines, and the latest revision was adopted at the annual general meeting in 2023.
Remuneration of the CEO and CFO at Ambu consists of fixed base salary and a variable component linked to performance. The variable component is primarily based on the achievement of financial targets, which now incorporate areas material to Ambu's ongoing strategic focus on sustainability.
Each year, specific sustainability-related targets are selected based on Ambu's strategic priorities. For the current year, two key targets have been integrated into a variable remuneration component:
Each of these targets account for 5% of the variable component of remuneration for the Executive Management. In total, 10% of the variable remuneration is linked to sustainability-related performance.
The Remuneration Committee is responsible for evaluating whether the Remuneration Policy supports the realization of Ambu's short- and long-term goals and aligns with shareholders' interests. This evaluation occurs at least annually,

If significant revisions to the policy are proposed, they are submitted for approval at Ambu's annual general meeting (AGM). In accordance with the Danish Companies Act, section 139 (2), the Remuneration Policy is presented for a shareholder vote at least every four years. The Remuneration Report is subject to an advisory vote under section 139b (4) of the same Act* .
The total remuneration earned by the Executive Management was DKK 25.5m (DKK 32.3m).

We seek to establish close and trusted relations with relevant stakeholders, including shareholders, employees, customers, suppliers, and society as a whole. We also seek to ensure transparency, and we want to openly share relevant information with our stakeholders.

More information on the mandatory annual Corporate Governance Report is disclosed at Ambu.com in accordance with section 107(b) of the Danish Financial Statements Act.
The shareholders of Ambu A/S exercise their rights at the general meeting, which is the supreme governing body of the company. At the annual general meeting, the shareholders approve the Annual Report, dividends, elect the Board members and the auditors of the company, and adopt Ambu's Articles of Association and proposals submitted by shareholders and the Board. Any shareholder has the right to raise questions and suggestions for consideration at the general meetings.

Ambu has two share classes, and our Articles of Association do not impose any restrictions on ownership or voting rights. Class A shares carry ten votes per share, while class B shares carry one vote per share. Class A and class B shares carry equal economic rights.

The Board of Directors regularly discusses the existing ownership structure with the holders of class A shares. The Board of Directors and the holders of class A shares agree that the ownership structure has been and remains expedient for all of Ambu's stakeholders, as it lays a sound framework for the implementation of our strategy and plans, thereby safeguarding the interests of all shareholders.
Ambu has a two-tier management structure, consisting of the Board of Directors and the Executive Management. The two bodies are independent of each other, and no person serves as a member of both.

At least every three years, the evaluation is conducted by an experienced external facilitator. The self-evaluation in 2024/25 led to focus areas, which will be included in the work of the Board of Directors in 2025/26.*
The Board of Directors currently has six members elected by the shareholders at the annual general meeting, and three members elected by the employees, pursuant to the Danish rules concerning employee representation.

Ambu expects all employees, business partners, customers, and stakeholders across the value chain to uphold the highest ethical standards in their business conduct. The Speak Up – Integrity Line is designed to encourage and enable stakeholders to report serious concerns or suspected misconduct, allowing Ambu to prevent, detect, and address potential abuse or malpractice.
Ambu's Speak Up – Integrity Line supports the Group's Code of Conduct by offering a secure and confidential channel for reporting serious concerns. Employees and business partners are encouraged to report suspected criminal offences, policy breaches, or legal violations, including those involving third parties. Reportable issues include fraud, corruption, bribery, anti-trust violations, discrimination, harassment, major quality non-compliance, conflicts of interest, improper sales practices, health, safety and environmental risks, human rights violations, insider trading, data privacy breaches, IT security issues, and trade sanctions.
The Speak Up – Integrity Line is a secure, confidential, and anonymous reporting channel, available 24/7 and hosted by an independent third party. To support thorough investigation, reporters are encouraged to provide detailed information, enabling the Hotline Committee to assess the grievance and determine an appropriate remedy if needed.
Cases can be reported by submitting a written report online. Links to the Speak Up – Integrity Line are available on Ambu's corporate intranet and website. Reports can be submitted in English or selected local languages, and may be filed anonymously, except where restricted by local law. Once a report is submitted, a case file is created and assigned to a case-handler appointed by the Hotline Committee. The case-handler may delegate tasks to relevant global or local investigators as needed.
The Hotline Committee consists of the Senior Director, Sustainability and Risk & Compliance; Vice President, General Counsel, and the Chief People Officer. Global Risk & Compliance acts as the secretariat and reports to the CFO and Audit Committee.
Each case is assessed individually, and remedies – if deemed necessary – are assigned based on the nature of the grievance and the stakeholders involved. Remedies may range from internal corrective actions to contractual or legal measures, depending on the severity and scope of the issue.
Ambu has a dedicated Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for internal investigations, which applies uniformly to all reported grievances. The purpose of investigation is to determine whether operations or personal conduct deviate from legal requirements and/or Ambu's internal policies.
Investigations are managed by the Hotline Committee, Lead Investigator, and Hotline Secretariat, with support from internal experts and, when necessary, both internal and external investigators. Each case is handled in three phases:
In certain cases, it may be necessary to review stakeholders' files or activities. Such reviews are conducted strictly in accordance with personal data protection legislation, only when essential,
and when the information cannot be obtained through other means. In line with legal requirements, the employee must be informed of the review either beforehand or at a later stage.
Ambu has a clear Anti-Retaliation Policy and does not tolerate retaliation against any individual who, in good faith, reports misconduct or violations, or participates in an investigation.
The governance of Ambu's Speak Up – Integrity Line operates on two levels. All reports submitted through the system are first received by the Global Risk & Compliance team, which acts as the secretariat, responsible for case intake, documentation, coordination, and internal reporting. Once a case is logged and assessed, the Hotline Committee is engaged as the primary decision-making body to manage the investigation and determine appropriate actions. Following resolution, Global Risk & Compliance escalates the case outcomes to the C-suite, CFO, and Audit Committee, ensuring senior leadership oversight and accountability.
The Board of Directors appoints the Executive Management and lays down its terms of service. The Executive Management is responsible for Ambu's day-to-day management, including, but not limited to, the development of Ambu's activities and operations and our risk management, financial reporting, and internal affairs.
The Executive Management prepares and presents Ambu's strategy, long-term financial planning, and budgets to the Board of Directors. The delegation of powers and responsibilities by the Board of Directors to the Executive Management is defined in the Rules of Procedure for Ambu's Board of Directors (Bestyrelsens Forretningsorden) and the provisions of the Danish Companies Act (Selskabsloven).
The Executive Management consists of Ambu's Chief Executive Officer, Britt Meelby Jensen, and Chief Financial Officer, Henrik Skak Bender. The Executive Management is also part of the Executive Leadership Team. To ensure oversight of sustainability matters, Ambu has anchored them in the Executive Management.
The Executive Leadership Team (ELT) is chaired by Ambu's CEO and CFO (Executive Management) and is composed of senior executives responsible for central functions, such as People & Culture, Risk & Compliance, Legal, Operations, R&D, IT, Sales, Marketing, and Procurement. To ensure ownership and leadership focus, each material topic related to the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) has a assigned sponsor from the ELT. The sponsors are responsible for driving the areas forward and are accountable for delivering on associated targets. Responsibility for executing action plans and targets lies with the associated departments for the respective areas.Women represent 37.5% of the Executive Leadership Team, while men account for 62.5%.
As a Danish listed company, Ambu A/S must comply with, or explain deviations from, the "Recommendations for Corporate Governance", implemented by Nasdaq Copenhagen, in the Rules for issuers of shares and Section 107b of the Danish Financial Statements Act.
The Board of Directors has considered the recommendations from the Committee on Corporate Governance and has reported on them in a corporate governance document. Ambu complies with all of the recommendations of the Committee on Corporate Governance, and the report on compliance with the corporate governance recommendations can be found at Ambu.com/ corpgov.

The sustainability statement forms an integral part of the management's review in this Annual Report and provides transparent information on Ambu A/S's environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance for the financial year 2024/25. The structure of the statement differs from prior years, as it has been prepared in accordance with the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), fulfilling Ambu's obligations under Article 99d from Data Ethics Policy, p. 74, and 107d from Board of Directors, pp. 45-46, pp. 50-51, of the Danish Financial Statements Act. As part of our review, no material errors were identified, however EU Taxonomy and scope 3 disclosures were restated to reflect methodology improvements. Read more under EU Taxonomy, pp. 91-95, Scope 3 emissions - accounting policy, pp. 89-90. The statement reflects the outcome of a comprehensive Double Materiality Assessment (DMA), which identified the topics most relevant to Ambu and our stakeholders. To support and interpret the ESRS disclosures, additional frameworks have been applied, including the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHGP), UN Global Compact principles (UNGC), EU Taxonomy, and the Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi). The reporting period covered is from 1 October 2024 to 30 September 2025. No exceptional events occurred during this time. Disclosures related to specific circumstances are presented alongside the relevant topics and accounting policies. The statement has been subject to limited assurance by an independent auditor.
The sustainability statement is prepared on a consolidated basis, consistent with the financial statement, and it covers Ambu A/S, our subsidiaries and affiliates under financial control, and leased or rented assets under Ambu's operational control. For a complete overview of the consolidated group, please refer to the financial statements, p. 134. The statement covers the Group's entire value chain, as detailed in the Value chain, p. 24, and Business model, p. 23, sections, with a primary focus on Ambu's own operations. This approach aligns with the DMA outcomes and reflects where Ambu has the greatest ability to influence ESG impacts.
The time horizons used in this report align with those recommended by the ESRS and are consistent with our financial statements. 'Short term' refers to the current financial reporting period of one year, 'medium term' covers the period from one up to five years, and 'long term' is defined as more than five years. For climate matters, longterm horizons are extended, considering climate
projections from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), as well as our scenario modeling, based on Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and SBTi climate targets.
Estimates and informed assumptions were used as a basis for some of the metrics where direct measurable data is not available. This is addressed in each accounting policy under the relevant metrics, except for the metrics where estimates were based on the third party data, such as scope 3 categories, which are addressed below.
For scope 3, we used the data provided by suppliers for categories 4 and 6. For categories 5 and 12, we relied on UN reports to estimate incineration, recycling, and waste rates in different regions. We ensure accuracy by using primary supplier data whenever available, standardizing calculation methods according to the GHG Protocol and documenting all assumptions. Where data uncertainty still exists, we plan to improve accuracy by engaging with suppliers for better data and iteratively refining assumptions as more primary data becomes available.
This financial year, we identified gender pay gap and resource inflows and outflows as metrics exposed to high level of measurement uncertainties, which will be addressed by improvement of calculation methodologies for the future reporting years. Estimates and assumptions we made can be found under accounting policies for Resource inflows & outflows, pp. 99-100, Gender pay gap, p. 111, and Sustainability reporting data controls, p. 61.
We report in accordance with the requirements of the Danish Transparency Act outlined in Corporate governance, p. 45. For details, see the Transparency Act Report published on our website, and the Statement on Equality and Anti-Discrimination issued in accordance with the Danish Equality and Anti-Discrimination Act, p. 46. We are compliant with the Articles of Association and the relevant legislation for Data Privacy Policy. Several of Ambu's manufacturing facilities, sales offices, and processes are certified to ISO standards. Ambu's guidelines, which form part of our management system, have also been revised in accordance with our ISO certifications.
We apply all relevant phase-in provisions, exclude voluntary disclosures that do not affect the topic review, and follow the ESRS incorporation-by-reference approach, with some dis-

closures presented outside of this statement. Read more in ESRS disclosure index, pp. 127-130, and Datapoints that derive from other EU legislation, pp. 131-133.
This year, Ambu added a new recognition to our accreditations: Sustainalytics' Low Risk rating. This rating indicates that our enterprise value is assessed as having a low risk of material financial impacts driven by ESG factors, relative to industry peers and the global universe. In addition, we sustained our EcoVadis rating, specifically their 'Committed' badge, reflecting our dedication to sustainable business practices. Current ESG ratings reflect our performance in 2023/24, with the exception of CDP, which reflects data from the 2022/2023 reporting year. While rating methodologies were already CSRD‑aligned, our disclosures during this period were not yet fully aligned. As we transition to reporting on a CSRD‑aligned year, we anticipate that ratings will better reflect our progress.
Toward the end of the financial year, we made a public commitment to SBTi to submit and validate our netzero targets within the next two years, confirming our decarbonization and decoupling ambitions. Comple‑ menting this commitment, our largest production site in Mexico is LEED Silver certified for its sustainable design and construction, demonstrating significant environmental, economic, and social benefits, such as lower operating costs, due to higher energy efficiency, advanced recycling, and lower water consumption.

General
We operate a two-tier management structure comprising the Board of Directors (BoD) and Executive Management. The two bodies are independent; no individual serves on both. Shareholder-elected members are appointed annually, while employee-elected members serve four-year terms. Oversight of sustainability matters is anchored in the Executive Leadership Team (ELT). This sustainability statement has been prepared with input from the CEO, CFO, CTO, CMO, COO, CPO, and all other members of the ELT. The ELT comprises our senior executives; "top management" is defined as one level below. Further details on the BoD structure, number of executive members, gender diversity ratio, independence, and governance framework are provided under Corporate governance, pp. 44-46.
The DMA confirms that our key business areas are closely linked to our long-term strategic goals: decoupling growth from environmental footprint, creating an attractive workplace, building long-term customer relationships, and ensuring resilient operations.
Defining sustainability goals and indicators is integral to the Group's strategy and annual business planning at global and regional levels. Each year, internal and external sustainability ambitions are set by the ELT and the Group function leaders, based on input from sales and production regions, and other relevant stakeholders.
Progress is monitored quarterly. The ELT and BoD approve targets related to material impacts, risks, and opportunities (IROs), while climate targets are presented by the Senior Director of Sustainability and Risk & Compliance.
A detailed description of Ambu's strategy and goals is available in the ZOOM AHEAD section, pp. 18-21.
The BoD and ELT collectively possess sufficient sustainability-related competencies to oversee and guide our sustainability strategy across all ESRS standards. We regularly assess and intend to maintain this level of expertise in line with capital market expectations and good corporate governance principles. The BoD collectively holds sufficient sustainability expertise to align overall strategy with sustainability goals. Read more on specific BoD and ELT members' experience under Corporate governance, pp. 48-51.
Our updated DMA identifies key environmental and social priorities, which are reflected in our strategy and daily operations. Initiatives such as our Ambu® Recircle Program and circular product and packaging design demonstrate our commitment to continuous improvement of our sustainability performance.
For strategic sustainability priorities, see the ZOOM AHEAD section, pp. 18-21.
For remuneration of the CEO and CFO, including sustainability-linked components, please see Remuneration, pp. 42-43.
Oversight of IROs rests with the ELT. Each material IRO has a designated ELT Sponsor to ensure ownership and accountability. During BoD meetings, our ELT contributes its experience and operational and administrative insights to guide decision-making on sustainability matters. Final decisions regarding IROs (including policy approval, action planning, target setting, and ongoing monitoring) are jointly made by the BoD and ELT.
The Audit Committee (AC) oversees ESG performance quarterly to enhance transparency and ensure consistent evaluation of our material IROs, and relevant metrics. The BoD, ELT, and AC rely on established processes and internal controls, and on the outcomes of the DMA, to set targets tied to material IROs.
Reporting lines for material IROs are disclosed under Ambu's policies, pp. 73-76, and IRO overview, pp. 67-72. See Corporate governance, p. 44, for governance bodies' roles and procedures.
Our reporting platform focuses on material areas relevant to performance monitoring and enables managers to track developments within their functions. Key climate and social metrics – including safety – are collected and reported quarterly, alongside relevant regional data. The platform currently does not include employee and customer satisfaction, which are captured annually in other tools. Read more under Our Voice employee engagement survey, pp. 105-107.
We currently report in accordance with the following standards: ESRS E1 and E5 (Environment), S1, S2, and S4 (Social), and G1 (Governance), each documented in its respective section.
Ambu embeds material IROs within strategy, guiding decision-making across all organizational levels, including major transactions and risk management. This serves as the foundation for governance structures, internal controls, and risk management described in the preceding section.
Policies, actions, and targets linked to IROs are referenced in the IRO overview, pp. 67-72. Read Corporate governance, pp. 37-55, for governance and control frameworks.
Ambu has mapped information provided in the sustainability process about our due diligence process.

Sustainability due diligence |
This year, we implemented systems to manage sustainability reporting risks after the pre-implementation of CSRD in 2023/24. Internal controls were strengthened and expanded in collaboration with data owners and relevant stakeholders to align sustainability reporting with financial reporting standards and ensure data accuracy and completeness.
The findings from our risk assessments and evaluations of internal controls are reported to relevant internal administrative, Management, and supervisory bodies through a structured process. This includes quarterly updates to the ELT and the AC, annual summaries presented to the BoD as a part of our Annual Report and internal audit review, and ad-hoc reporting if significant changes in risk exposures or control effectiveness are identified.
Depending on the materiality, sustainability data and reporting risks are addressed individually in coordination with data owners, ELT, or the AC. The risks we identified this year related to uncertainties around ESRS E5-4 resource inflows and resource outflows, and ESRS S1-16 on the gender pay gap, due to calculation methods and limitations in our internal datasets. We aim to address these limitations in the future. For ESRS S1-16 on the gender pay gap, our assumptions are based on the representative data sample. Data controls
for both metrics are subject to improvement measures for the next financial year.
To mitigate these risks, the ESG Reporting & Data Management team works with internal and external subject matter experts to strengthen governance of data collection and control systems, while improving the quality and scope of datasets used for calculations.

We have identified our external and internal stakeholders that contribute to and benefit from the value we create. Stakeholder engagement is also a core component of our sustainability due diligence process, and we disclose key actions under each material topic in this report.
Over the past two years, we have engaged in structured stakeholder dialogues to understand what our stakeholders consider the most important in relation to our sustainability efforts. These dialogues have been integral to the development of our DMA, helping us identify opportunities and risks across our value chain and informing strategic decisions and daily operations. Material topics, such as environmental and social sustainability, were highlighted by healthcare professionals and organizations as central to meeting evolving market demands. The interests and expectations of our stakeholders vary depending on the nature of the relationship, but generally, they expect us to operate ethically and uphold high standards of business conduct, including environmental sustainability.
As a result of these engagements, we have begun enhancing key elements of our business model, especially in our approach to environmental sustainability, responsible sourcing, and employee engagement. We consult internal
experts for operational insights and work with external advisors on environmental issues relevant to our business. Building on this momentum, we are planning to expand our stakeholder engagement framework globally and integrate stakeholder feedback more systematically into product development and supply chain decisions. These initiatives, set to roll out over the next 12–24 months, are expected to strengthen our responsiveness and reinforce our commitment to accountability and continuous improvement.
Stakeholder views and interests are regularly discussed across relevant departments, business units, ELT, and BoD meetings. The ELT is formally updated at least once a year during the DMA review process, ensuring that stakeholder perspectives are actively considered in the ongoing development of our strategy and business model.
Our DMA and the information presented in this sustainability statement reflects the most important topics for our stakeholders, based on identified interdependencies and IROs across our value chain and operations.

General
The identification of material topics to be reported on has followed the guidelines of the ESRS standard and EFRAG's IG1 – the implementation guidance for materiality assessment.
Through the DMA process, we have identified material IROs across the entire value chain, each closely integrated with our core business activities and further described under each topic reported on in this statement.
Most of the material IROs are concentrated within our operations, while the remainder are distributed across upstream (suppliers and production partners) and downstream (distribution and end users) value chain, underscoring that we do not operate in isolation, and that our value chain plays a critical role in shaping our sustainability performance. IRO distribution is illustrated in the IRO overview, pp. 67-72 .
The prevalence of material IROs within areas under our operational control enables systematic and ongoing management. For IROs further along the value chain, we are enhancing governance frameworks and deepening collaboration with partners to support effective risk mitigation and value creation. We are also working to integrate IRO identification and analysis into relevant systems and processes. Many of the IROs we manage directly relate to business conduct, our own workforce, and selected environmental topics, such as climate change, resource use,
and circular economy. While these are often addressed within our operations, several environmental IROs have been identified in both the upstream and downstream parts of our value chain. In these cases, our influence is exercised through strengthened policies and procedures in procurement, waste management, and material and resource use. The environmental impacts associated with plastics and other raw materials extend beyond the countries in which we operate – climate change and resource depletion are global challenges, and our approach reflects this broader responsibility.
As a leading international medical device company, we generate positive impacts across multiple dimensions. We help customers reduce their environmental footprint through initia tives like the Ambu ® Recircle Program, invest in employee development through training, and improve patient outcomes by enabling early diagnosis and treatment. We do not assess positive impacts based on remediability, nor do we evaluate actual impacts based on likelihood.
The identified social impacts include both positive and negative effects. To mitigate the negative impacts primarily linked to the global nature of our business, we have implemented policies, actions, and targets aimed at protecting employees, value chain workers, and end users. Discontinuing these initiatives could increase exposure to social risks.

As a global medical device manufacturer, we identify opportunities across our value chain to generate positive social value. By supporting our stakeholders – our employees, value chain workers, consumers, and end users – we uphold human rights throughout the value chain and provide life-saving solutions.
For financial materiality, we evaluated the likelihood and magnitude of financial effects. The assessment covered topics prescribed in ESRS 1 (Article 16) and other relevant matters.
Based on last year's DMA, our resilience is considered high within the applied time horizons. The resilience analysis was informed by qualitative and quantitative input from internal experts, including an assessment of mitigating measures across all IROs.
Following our CSRD pre-implementation last year, the updated DMA assessment methodology included a revised scoring template this year. The updated approach has improved granularity in identifying material topics and subtopics. Financial materiality was assessed together with the impact materiality, using the same scoring methodology. On top of value chain considerations, Ambu considered resource dependencies for each IRO and consulted with impacted stakeholders across different geographies. Consulted stakeholders include internal subject-matter experts, stakeholders directly subjected to impacts (or their legitimate proxies),

the impacts correctly, and helping Ambu gain a deeper understanding of the groups affected. Based on our scoring and thresholds, the following ESRS standards were deemed material and are covered in this sustainability statement:
ESRS E1 – Climate change
ESRS E5 – Resource use & circular economy
ESRS S1 – Own workforce
ESRS S2 – Workers in the value chain
ESRS S4 – Consumers & end users
ESRS G1 – Governance
Standards related to E2 (pollution), E3 (biodiversity), E4 (water), and S3 (affected communities) were assessed as immaterial and are not included in this year's statement. Read more about our IRO identification in the IRO overview, pp. 67-72.
We assessed both positive and negative impacts, distinguishing between actual and potential. For impact materiality, we scored each sustainability matter based on scale, scope, remediability, and likelihood. In line with CSRD, for potential negative human rights impacts, severity is prioritized over likelihood.
With regard to our material risks and negative impacts, we provide remedies when deemed necessary and proportionate.
and external advisors – helping Ambu assess Double materiality overview Thresholds were applied to both financial and impact assessments. Financial thresholds align with standard risk evaluation practices, while impact thresholds – developed with input from internal subject-matter experts – helped identify material IROs and address stakeholder expectations. The new scoring template was used consistently across all IROs, including financial and environmental impacts.
Ambu's ERM and DMA scoring systems are closely aligned, sharing a core methodology – particularly in assessing financial impacts. The financial effects of material risks and opportunities vary depending on the nature of each case, with some being harder to quantify than others.
In line with our sustainability governance, the ESG Reporting & Data Management team led the DMA process. The DMA is reviewed annually and updated as data, insights, and regulatory requirements evolve.
For our first ESRS disclosures, we assessed each requirement in detail, aligning them with identified IROs and preparing all material disclosures for the sustainability statement in the Annual Report.

We are accelerating the shift to sustainable healthcare. With our SBTi commitment targeting net-zero by 2045, we are embedding circularity and climate action across our operations. This year, we launched the world's first endoscope recycling program and advanced our circular design efforts to help customers reduce their environmental footprint.

We are committed to decoupling business growth from carbon emissions by embedding sustainability into our product design, sourcing, and manufacturing. Guided by our Environmental Policy, we focus on climate change mitigation, adaptation, energy efficiency, and renewable energy as part of our decarbonization pathway.
As a global leader in medical device manufacturing, we recognize our responsibility to address negative climate and environmental impacts associated with our sourcing, manufacturing, and distribution activities. Our operations, serving customers worldwide, inevitably contribute to climate change and environmental challenges. In alignment with our ZOOM AHEAD strategy, we are taking decisive actions to decarbonize our
own operations and collaborate with suppliers to reduce GHG emissions throughout our value chain.
Within our strategic framework, we have identified manufacturing and logistics activities that currently rely on fossil-based energy sources, high-emission logistics, and the use of virgin raw materials. These dependencies – detailed in references E1-5, E1-6, E5-3, and E5-4 – are not yet

fully compatible with a climate-neutral economy. By directly targeting these areas, we are implementing initiatives that facilitate our transition to more sustainable solutions, thereby maintaining the resilience and forward-looking nature of our business.
This year, a significant proportion of our GHG emissions – 91% – originate from upstream and downstream value chain activities (scope 3), encompassing sourcing, services, and distribution of our solutions. Emissions from our direct operations (scope 1 and scope 2) constitute a smaller portion, accounting for around 9% due to ongoing progress on our SBTi targets. While our emissions contribute to global warming, we recognize that our climate mitigation efforts may expose us to transition risks, including reputational impacts from a potential increase of emissions. We remain committed to proactively addressing these challenges as part of our ongoing sustainability strategy of decoupling our growth from our environmental footprint.
Our commitment to climate change mitigation drives our continuous assessment of weatherrelated hazards and their potential impact on operations, employee safety, workers in the value chain, as well as on our patients' health and well-being if access to our products is disrupted. Our current resilience analysis indicates that the most severe climate-induced weather events are primarily local and unlikely to pose a material financial risk at present, and we maintain a vigilant approach.
We conducted our resilience analysis this financial year. We regularly assess how negative physical climate impacts may affect our global operations and value chain, ensuring our business strategy strengthens resilience and long-term value for stakeholders through climate adaptation and mitigation. Our strategy and ongoing assessments help us remain adaptive, transparent, and responsive in addressing the impacts of climate change. We screen our activities quarterly to assess actual and potential climate impacts, in line with our Climate transition plan and EU Taxonomy reporting framework. We track our GHG emissions by monitoring our direct emissions and energy consumption across our facilities, as well as emissions in our upstream and downstream value chain, through supplier data, activity data, and financial spend data.
Climate change mitigation and adaptation are significant considerations in our resilience analysis, risk management process and systems, and DMA. We considered likelihood, magnitude, duration, and overall hazards. Short-term and medium-term risks are assessed across business areas, while long-term risks are assessed as part of our company-wide risk identification process in line with TCFD. Our resilience analysis combines internal and external risk tools, geospatial production site data (considering geospatial coordinates specific to Ambu's locations, as well
as related planetary boundaries), and findings from the latest IPCC report, which serves as a baseline for evaluating potential hazards. Material climate risks were assessed using timeframes and methodologies from the TCFD and NGFS, in line with DMA. Climate-related risks are expected to materialize in the long term (five years or more), as disclosed in the Basis for Preparation, p. 58. Based on these scenarios, Ambu has identified both transitional and physical risks linked to climate change.
After evaluating the physical risks relevant to Ambu, it has been determined that the likelihood of significant climate change impacts is intermediate-to-high for our company. Although we believe that the local mitigation activities and monitoring of these risks make Ambu well positioned to manage these risks in the Orderly (1.5°C), Disorderly (2°C), and Hot House World scenarios (3+/4°C), we must remain attentive to changes in severity and frequency caused by climate change to ensure that we continue to manage these risks adequately. The latest IPCC report serves as a reference point for this analysis, highlighting immediate high or very high risk of damage to infrastructure and key economic sectors and production sites in North America, as well as immediate high or very high risk of flood or storm-related damage in coastal areas of Asia (impacting production facilities in Malaysia and China). While local mitigation efforts strengthen our preparedness, we remain vigilant as risk profiles evolve.
Most transition risks relate to market and reputation-based factors that are financially material to Ambu. These risks were analyzed using geospatial coordinates specific to Ambu's locations, as well as local regulatory developments concerning carbon trading, carbon pricing, the transition to a low-carbon economy, energy supply security, raw material costs, labor expenses, and revenue fluctuations under different scenarios and global warming models. We reviewed Ambu's strategy and financial planning, as well as the management of climate-related risks and opportunities, to identify key areas for transitioning to low-carbon operations. As part of our DMA, we conducted interviews regarding the business resilience of our operations and offices under various scenarios. Our risks include:
To enhance the resilience of our business and operations, insights on IROs derived from the DMA are integrated into our risk management calibration process. This enables a comprehensive estimation of effects on revenue, costs, reputation, and compliance. Risks are reported quarterly and addressed at various levels of the

organization, including by the BoD and the ELT, to ensure that our DMA accurately reflects their true impact. This approach captures the financial risks and opportunities associated with sustainability considerations.
Our approach to risk mitigation falls into two categories:
We used the same scenario analysis to identify opportunities as we did for risks. We identified the following opportunities:
ment the traditional business model.
The analysis is subject to uncertainties related to the pace of regulatory change, technological advancement, and socio-economic developments. Simplified modeling tools may overstate or understate risks, especially in regions with limited data granularity.
Read more about our DMA on pp. 64-67.
Read more about our risk management process on pp. 37-41.
We are dedicated to responsible operations and have publicly committed to achieving our SBTialigned net-zero target by 2045, see pp. 82-84. With the record-breaking global temperatures underscoring the urgent need for climate action, we aim to lead by cutting emissions through innovative, circular products, recycling initiatives, renewable energy use, and setting sustainability standards in the MedTech industry and beyond by fostering sustainability across the entire healthcare sector.
To achieve this, we have developed a Climate transition plan that outlines our strategic approach to mitigating GHG emissions across our value chain. This plan is aligned with a 1.5°C scenario under the Paris Agreement and the SBTi, and it forms an integral part of our ZOOM AHEAD strategy. It is designed to support longterm value creation, manage transition risks, and ensure regulatory alignment, including the ESRS reporting standards. The Climate transition plan is guided by the TCFD, the GHG Protocol, and the SBTi framework. It was approved in August 2025 by Ambu's ELT and BoD and is reviewed annually to ensure continued alignment with evolving science, regulation, and stakeholder expectations.
We have considered a diverse range of climate scenarios to identify relevant environmental, societal, technological, market, and regulatory developments. This analysis has informed our understanding of potential transition and phyEnvironment
sical risks, and guided the identification of key decarbonization levers across our operations and value chain. The scenarios support strategic planning and help ensure resilience in the face of evolving climate-related challenges.
As we accelerate our efforts toward reaching net zero, we are focusing on three primary levers to reduce emissions across our operations and product lifecycle:
Designing products and packaging with sustainability, recyclability, and reuse in mind. Read more on Our actions related to resource use & circular economy, p. 98.
Establishing systems to recover and recycle used products, reducing landfill waste, and resource use. Read more on Our actions related to resource use & circular economy, p. 98.
Read more about how we operate in line with environmental sustainability in Responsible operations, p. 83.
In our operations, we are implementing energy efficiency upgrades, conducting site-specific energy audits, and transitioning to renewable energy sources. This financial year, 49% of our total electricity consumption was sourced from renewables, supported by ongoing solar generation and RECs. Our goal is to reach 100% renewable electricity across all operations, including manufacturing and all sites. We are also exploring low-carbon energy sources and decarbonization technologies to further reduce scope 1 and 2 emissions beyond 2030.
In our value chain, we are engaging suppliers through procurement strategies and climate dialogues to encourage emission reductions and renewable energy adoption. We are also transitioning to low-impact raw materials, optimizing transportation, and scaling our circular product and packaging ecosystem. Our pioneering Ambu® Recircle Program is being expanded to recover and process used medical devices, reducing waste and supporting circular economy in the hospitals and the healthcare sector. Read about our actions, allocated resources, and their linkage to material IROs in Our climate change mitigation actions, p. 83. A visual overview of our Climate transition plan can be found on p. 82.
Our GHG emissions accounting is based on a robust calculation model aligned with the GHG Protocol and SBTi methodologies. In 2024/25, we consolidated our GHG emissions accounting practices to ensure consistency and transparency across all scopes. We have updated our climate-related scenario analysis to assess both transition and physical risks.
Our potential locked-in GHG emissions are limited, but relevant in relation to our partially fossil fuel-powered equipment at our production sites, which we are working to convert to electricity whenever possible. No significant CAPEX has been identified for activities that are coal-related, oil-related, or gas-related.
Climate-related investments are integrated into our regular financial planning. Over the next five years, a share of our capital will be invested into sustainability projects, including renewable energy infrastructure, advanced recycling systems, and circular product and packaging development. These investments are critical to achieving our climate targets and ensuring long-term business resilience. Ambu's Climate transition plan is a living document. As we progress toward our 2030 and 2045 targets, we will continue to strengthen our governance, data systems, and internal capabilities. We remain committed to transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement as we work to decarbonize our business and contribute to a sustainable healthcare system.
Ambu's Environmental Policy reflects our commitment to delivering safe, high-quality medical solutions, while minimizing environmental impact through climate mitigation aligned with SBTi, circular economy principles across the value chain, and decarbonization levers detailed in the section Levers to reduce global emissions, p. 82. Read more on our Environmental Policy in Ambu's policies, p. 75.


As we accelerate our efforts toward reaching net zero, we are focusing on three key levers to reduce emissions across our operations and product lifecycle. These levers serve as the key pillars of our decarbonization strategy and can be further broken down into more granular decarbonization levers, projects, and investments that will enable implementation of our Climate transition plan and targets. Our sections about actions provide details about specific projects under our key levers.

Long-term transition 2025-2045



In 2024/25, we continued to advance our climate mitigation efforts by investing in renewable energy and energy efficiency across our global operations.
As part of our ZOOM AHEAD strategy, we allocated capital to install solar panels at our headquarters in Denmark and at our production site in Mexico, building on previous deployments in Germany, Malaysia, UK and Denmark. In addition to infrastructure investments, we dedicated operational resources to maintaining these systems, conducting energy audits, and implementing energy-saving initiatives across our sites. We also invested in employee training and digital tools to monitor and reduce energy consumption. These efforts directly contribute to our scope 2 emission reductions, achieving a reduction of 43% this year compared to the baseline year, with expected reductions of 100% by 2045. This initiative remains ongoing.
Progress on our energy efficiency is measured quarterly and reported under Energy, p. 85.

We are committed to reducing scope 2 emissions and supporting the global transition to renewable energy.
During 2024/25, we invested in Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) covering a portion of the electricity consumed at our facilities in the USA, Malaysia, and China. We use RECs and reduce our market-based emissions. Combined with our existing solar installations, this strategy helps us maximize renewable electricity share across our global operations. We worked closely with our Global Operations teams to ensure our approach aligns with international standards, such as I-REC and Green-e, reinforcing the credibility and traceability of our renewable energy sourcing. This initiative remains ongoing.
Progress on our energy efficiency is measured quarterly and reported under Energy, p. 85.

Our scope 3, category 1 emissions have decreased, in part due to refinements in our calculation methods and the incorporation of supplier-specific emission factors.
This improvement has resulted in a decreased in scope 3 emissions specified under our designated Accounting policy, pp. 89-90. These decrease is reflected in our reported figures and is expected to continue in the upcoming financial years, as we remain committed to transitioning toward an increase of use of primary data. We have implemented this initiative across our upstream value chain, supported by two dedicated FTEs who
Read more on how we incorporated this methodology under Our carbon footprint, pp. 86-87.

To mitigate our environmental impact, we are committed to reducing carbon emissions across our entire value chain.
In December 2023, the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated and published Ambu's near-term carbon reduction targets for scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. These targets are aligned with the Paris Agreement's goal of limiting the global temperature rise to 1.5°C and apply to the entire company and our value chain.
Ambu has committed to reducing absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions (market-based) by 75% by the 2029/30 financial year, using 2020/21 as the base year. For scope 3, we aim for 82% of our suppliers to set SBTi-validated targets by the 2026/27 financial year. These targets have been approved by our ELT and BoD, are governed through our Environmental Policy, and are overseen as a strategic priority by the ELT.
In 2025, Ambu officially committed to a net-zero target, setting out to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across our value chain by 2045. Our 2045 net-zero target will be covering all emissions under scopes 1, 2, and 3, aiming to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 emissions 100% and scope 3 emissions by at least 90% by FY 2045/2046, against our 2020/21 baseline. When designing the targets, the scope 3 projections were based on growth forecasts aligned with anticipated production volumes and expansion
plans between 2024/25 and 2045. Selected suppliers and business units contributed to identifying and assessing decarbonization levers. Progress toward these goals depends on the availability of low-carbon technologies and materials that meet quality standards.
Ambu's decarbonization strategy is detailed in our climate transition plan, which is then embedded in our ZOOM AHEAD strategy. This integration ensures that our climate ambitions are aligned with our long-term growth objectives and operational priorities. As we expand our reach in the healthcare sector, we remain focused on decoupling business growth from emissions – particularly through circular products and packaging design, underscoring our commitment to serving more healthcare professionals, while lowering the environmental impact of hospitals.
We currently anticipate total scope 3 reductions of approximately 160,000 tonnes CO₂e by 2045 to reach net zero. This figure includes both projected emissions growth and planned initiatives, with around 100,000 tonnes CO₂e already attributed to circular products and packaging efforts, including Ambu® Recircle Program. This leaves an estimated gap of 60,000 tonnes CO₂e, which we aim to close by scaling existing measures and exploring new opportunities, such as advancements in production technology. In addition, we project reductions of 25,000 tonnes CO₂e in scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030, driven by our Responsible Operations lever. A visual
overview of our decarbonization trajectory is presented on p. 82.
Despite continued business growth, our emissions decreased by 3% this year – reflecting the tangible impact of our decarbonization efforts. As a growth-oriented company, we anticipate a mild increase in total greenhouse gas emissions through 2030, relative to the unadjusted 2020/21 baseline. This anticipated rise would be driven by expansion activities and the timing of our decarbonization efforts.
Post-2030, emissions are expected to decline as the targeted mitigation measures – already being implemented – begin to take full effect. We expect this downward trajectory to continue as we progress toward achieving our net-zero commitment.
We currently do not use carbon offsetting as a way of reducing our emissions. Our long-term target is to achieve net-zero by 2045 and balance out any remaining emissions with permanent carbon removals/offsets/credits.
Decouple our environmental footprint from business growth by ensuring that scaling operations do not result in proportional increases in emissions or resource use.

Aligned with our Climate transition plan, Ambu continued to advance energy-saving and optimization initiatives throughout 2024/25, as outlined in the table of key actions at Our climate change mitigation actions, p. 83. These have led to a decrease in overall energy consumption by 4.13%, from 61,005 MWh to 58,505 MWh, primarily attributed to energy efficiency improvements in Malaysia. During this period, renewable energy – primarily in the form of electricity sourced through contractual instruments – represented 21,910 MWh or 37% of total energy consumption, which is a significant increase from 25% last year, with the remaining 63% supplied by fossil and alternative sources. Since 2020, we have progressively transitioned our production sites to renewable electricity through an array of solutions, including RECs and proprietary renewables. Currently, three production facilities, along with some of our offices and R&D locations, are powered by renewable electricity, whose share this year rose to 49% from 34%, attributed to purchased 20,367 MWh of RECs.
This is a significant milestone for Ambu and a strong testament to our progress toward 100% renewable powered operations. Over the next years, we will strenghten the resilience of our offices and operations by installing solar panels at our HQ office in Denmark and our production site in Mexico, together with those already deployed at our UK, German, and Danish offices, as well as at our production site in Malaysia.
Our methodology distinguishes between renewable and non-renewable sources for electricity, steam, and heat by classifying only those energies explicitly identified within supplier contracts as renewable energy.
To prevent double counting of energy consumption data, we use a centralized platform to export data and generate tables, ensuring consistency and accuracy in reporting. These tables categorize data by location types: production sites, headquarters, innovation, and sales offices, enabling a comprehensive and precise analysis of energy consumption across the organization.
Total energy consumption is reported in MWh, with unit conversions based on the MWh Protocol cross-sector tool, UK DEFRA conversion factors, and other recognized sources.
Energy and fuel data from production sites and large offices are collected quarterly through standardized reporting. For other entities – such as sales offices, innovation hubs, and warehouses – data is estimated using energy intensity per m². For company cars (fuel-based and hybrids), energy consumption is estimated based on annual driving distance and DEFRA distance-to-energy conversion factors. Renewable energy share reflects the proportion of renewable energy in total energy consumption and is calculated based on performance data, invoices or other documentation. RECs quantities are specified on redemption certificates.

Ambu is a company focused on decoupling economic growth from emissions growth.
This year, despite increased business activities and high market demand for our live-saving products, our total GHG emissions decreased by 3%, compared to last year, with the decrease
observed across all 3 scopes. The decrease is a result of our decarbonization efforts, such as optimization of material use in operations, greener company car fleet, energy efficiency improvements, and increase of renewable energy share in our energy consumption. By continued expansion of our own solar power generation capacities, supplemented with RECs in our
operations, we expect our scope 1 and scope 2 emissions to further decrease in the upcoming years. Compared to last year, our scope 3 emissions had a minor decrease of 0.2% this year, attributed to optimization of material use as well as refinement in calculation methods and activity-based data, which contributed to the emission decrease across a number of categories. The
updated methodology has been systematically reviewed and refined across the most material scope 3 categories, representing nearly 82% of total scope 3 emissions. Updates consist of transferring key manufacturing categories from spend-based to activity-based accounting, as well as adjustments to emission factors and volume conversions. We also increased the share of

primary data, where approximately 5% of scope 3 emissions for all years were calculated using primary data sources.
We report market-based scope 2 emissions based on electricity sourced through contractual instruments, such as RECs.
In 2024/25, we procured renewable electricity for three production sites using these instruments. We substantiate all claims with traceable contracts to ensure accuracy and avoid double counting.
We report biogenic emissions across all scopes in line with the GHG Protocol for the first time this year, amounting to 5,372 tonnes CO₂e.
In scope 1, we include direct emissions from biofuel or biomass combustion in our vehicles and facilities. In scope 2, we account for indirect emissions from purchased energy, such as electricity, heat, steam, or cooling. Scope 3 reflects upstream emissions from the processing of plant-based feedstock used in bioplastics by suppliers.
Compared to last year, Ambu achieved a reduction of 43% in scope 1 and 2 market-based emissions, compared to last year's 23%, attributable to increased procurement of renewable electricity. This marks significant progress toward our near-term SBTi target to reduce absolute market-based scope 1 and 2 emissions by 75% by 2030, positioning us to achieve a 100% reduction ahead of the projected trajectory.
Over the past four financial years, we have successfully reduced our market-based GHG emission intensity per DKKm revenue by 28% – a strong testament to our ability to decouple emissions from business growth. Compared to the previous financial year, total emissions decreased 3%, while our business expanded, and revenue increased in 2024/25, reflecting improved resource efficiency and a more sustainable production footprint. This progress highlights our commitment to reducing the environmental intensity of our products, while scaling operations to serve a growing global customer and patient base.

Scope 1 and 2 emissions
We report GHG emissions in accordance with the GHGP, covering carbon dioxide - CO₂ and the six gases from the Kyoto Protocol, expressed as CO₂ equivalents (CO₂e) using their Global Warming Potential (GWP) for a common basis of measurement. Actual consumption data is used for fuel and electricity at our four production sites, one R&D office, and headquarters, while estimated data is applied to warehouses, additional R&D and sales offices, and company cars where direct data is unavailable.
Scope 1 emissions include direct GHG emissions from sources controlled by Ambu, such as the combustion of natural gas, LPG, and diesel for heating and stationary engines, as well as fuel consumption in company cars. Due to incomplete data from our salesforce vehicles, emissions are estimated using standardized annual driving distances and fuelbased conversion factors. Refrigerant refills from air conditioning and ventilation systems are also included.
Scope 2 emissions cover indirect emissions from purchased electricity and heat, reported using both market-based and location-based methods. To reduce scope 2 emissions, we use our own solar power generation capacity, RECs, which are accounted as zero emissions. Electricity consumption at sales offices and warehouses is estimated using a standardized kWh per square meter.
Biogenic emissions from scope 1 and 2 are reported separately, as they are considered carbon neutral under the GHG Protocol. These include direct emissions from burning biofuels or biomass in our vehicles or facilities, calculated using DEFRA emission factors for biogenic CO₂. Indirect biogenic emissions from purchased electricity, heating, or cooling are
estimated using regional emission factors where available. In the absence of comprehensive data, Ambu applies a conservative average based on UK and Danish sources. This tailored methodology, developed with external advisors, ensures consistency in reporting despite global variability in biogenic emission factors. Our CO₂ accounting platform supports this approach until standardized factors are published by recognized bodies such as the IEA, at which point they will be incorporated into future calculations. Scope 3 biogenic emissions are reported separately and primarily reflect emissions from the production of bioplastics by our suppliers, specifically from the processing of plant-based feedstock. As bioplastics are believed to be the main source of our scope 3 biogenic emissions, the emissions from other parts of the value chain are considered immaterial for disclosure. These emissions are calculated by multiplying the volume of bioplastics purchased by supplier-provided emission factors.
Scope 3 covers the indirect GHG emissions that occur both upstream and downstream our value chain.
For certain categories, emissions for the final month of the reporting period were extrapolated using data from the preceding eleven months to ensure consistency and completeness.
Prior to disclosure, the scope 3 emissions inventory underwent a thorough review to ensure completeness and accuracy. This included validation of the underlying methodology, as well as updates to emission factors and conversion factors in line with the latest available data and standards.
Category 1: Purchased goods and services Emissions are calculated using both quantity and monetary data across three purchase types:
Emissions are calculated based on monetary data from purchases of manufacturing machines, IT equipment and other larger purchases that deviate from the purchases made in every financial year.
Category 3: Fuel- and energy-related activities Emissions are calculated based on energy consumption data, according to the location-based approach reported in scope 1 and 2, including electricity, district heating and various fuels used at our production sites, headquarters, sales offices, warehouses and company cars owned by us.
Category 4: Upstream transportation and distribution
Emissions are calculated based on actual well-towheel CO2e data from supplier-specific reports and monetary data for other third-party transportation and distribution services purchased by Ambu. This includes inbound logistics, outbound logistics and transfers between own facilities. Transportation of goods from tier one suppliers to Ambu is implicitly included in Category 1 and 2, when the transportation is ensured by the suppliers.
Category 5: Waste generated in operations Emissions from the treatment of waste and wastewater generated in operations are calculated based on the actual waste and water data from our production sites and headquarters, together with an estimation
of waste and water generated per employee using HQ data as basis of estimation, multiplied with the total number of employees in Ambu sales offices. For waste that is recycled or incinerated with energy recovery, only transportation-related emissions are included, as emissions from the recovery process are considered out of scope.
Emissions from flights, trains, car rentals, and mileage paid by Ambu are calculated using emission data or distance and monetary data provided by our supplier. Other business travel emissions are based on monetary data recorded in Ambu's procurement system. Emissions from hotel stays are excluded, in line with SBTi guidelines.
Emissions from employees commuting to Ambu's entities are calculated based on information provided via a global survey, filled out by employees, depicting the information on employee's travel distance and modes of transpotation. This information is applied to extrapolate the emissions for the entire Group for different locations, based on the total number of employees as per Q3.
Emissions from the use of products that directly consume electricity are calculated based on sales quantity data. Energy consumption has been estimated by considering inputs on the product usage time for different medical interventions, number of products used per unit, and maximum usage hours. Products that indirectly consume energy are excluded, in accordance with SBTi requirements.
Category 12: Emissions are calculated based on the weight of sold Ambu products, categorized by the material composition of both the product and its packaging. Waste treatment methods are estimated using input from customers and publicly available reports. For waste incinerated with energy recovery,
§ Accounting policy – continued
only transportation-related emissions are included, as emissions from the recovery process fall outside the reporting scope. Electronics, paper, and card board are assumed to be recycled. All other materials are assumed to be incinerated, with 7% incinerated without energy recovery and 93% with energy recovery, based on data from a UNDP report
Categories 8, 9, 10, 13, 14, and 15 Categories 8, 10, 13, 14, and 15 are considered not relevant to Ambu due to the nature of the company's operations. An estimate was performed for Category 9, and the resulting emissions were assessed to be immaterial.

Emission data is considered primary when the emis sion values - or both the activity data and emission factors - are obtained directly from original sources (e.g., supplier declarations), reflecting actual values specific to Ambu's operations.
Emission data is considered secondary when the activity data and/or emission factors are derived from estimates, industry averages, or third-party databases, rather, than original sources.
Updated scope 3 calculation method and data accuracy
This year, we updated scope 3 calculathion method to improve the accuracy of our scope 3 reporting. Updates consist of transferring key manufacturing categories from spend-based to activity-based accounting, as well as adjustments to emission factors and volume conversions.
These adjustment led to a restatement of our emissions from the baseline year to date. For scope 3, Purchased goods and services ( category 1), Capital goods (category 2), Upstream transportation and distribution (category 4), and Business travel (category 6), we have restated our emissions for FY2020/21, FY2021/22, FY2022/23, and FY2023/24 figures. This results in the following changes to total scope 3 emissions:

The EU Taxonomy Regulation (2020/825), which came into force in July 2020, establishes a classification system for environmentally sustainable economic activities. Since then, the framework has been expanded through several Delegated Acts, including the Climate Delegated Act (2021/2139), the Disclosures Delegated Act (2021/2178), the Complementary Climate Delegated Act (2022/1214), and most recently, the Environmental Delegated Act (2023/2486), and amendments to the Climate Delegated Act (2023/2485), both effective from 1 January 2024. Large public-interest entities are now required to report under the regulation. Ambu supports the introduction of standardized sustainability definitions and is working to integrate relevant EU Taxonomy criteria into our operations. At the same time, Ambu identifies business activities that are incompatible with the transition to a climate-neutral economy, including the single-use nature of our products. In the previous reporting year, we did not identify any eligible activities under the EU Taxonomy Regulation. Following a reassessment of our operations and eligibility criteria, we have determined that certain activities do meet the eligibility requirements.
The Taxonomy-related disclosure process at Ambu consists of three main steps:
onomy criteria, including internal projects related to manufacturing, energy efficiency, renewable energy, and environmental impact. The screening process is conducted collaboratively by ESG Reporting & Data Management team members, external advisors, and internal stakeholders.
The activities listed below have been identified as eligible for Ambu under the EU Taxonomy.
CCM/CCA 6.5. Transport by motorbikes, passenger cars and light commercial vehicles;
Ambu's core economic activities are not covered by the EU Taxonomy Regulation. No eligible revenue or OpEx KPIs were identified, and none of the reported activities meet the DNSH technical screening criteria.

OPEX consists of only direct non-capitalized costs that relate to sustainability activities (maintenance, resource efficiency, R&D, training, renovation of buildings, short-term leases, and other direct costs relating to day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment ). For calculation of the denominator of OPEX, figures were extracted directly from Ambu's enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, to ensure that registrations were only counted once. The KPI is defined as Taxonomy-eligible OPEX (numerator) divided by total OPEX (denominator).All operational expenditures related to our eligible activities are immaterial, and thus the OpEx numerator is 0.

At Ambu, we design with circularity in mind, to help reduce environmental impact across the value chain. Through our Ambu® Recircle Program and our dedicated use of bio-attributed materials, we support customers in meeting sustainability goals while promoting responsible resource use.
The majority of our products are single-use medical devices. Their development relies on innovative material choices and responsible resource management to support safe and effective healthcare delivery. We have established a structured process to identify and assess material impacts, risks, and opportunities related to resource inflows, outflows, and waste across our production sites and throughout our global value chain. The business units associated with these impacts include Operations and Procurement, which oversees material sourcing, supplier relationship production, and waste handling; R&D,
which drives material innovation, product design and material selection; and Sustainability & ESG, which coordinates reporting, while also integrating circular economy principles into product development and end-of-life treatment. We conducted a systematic screening of our operations, products, and supply chain to evaluate:

With our Ambu® Recircle Program, plastics from used Ambu endoscopes are collected, recycled, and repurposed into new, nonmedical products – such as the chair and table shown in the image above. These items were featured at our Capital Markets Day 2025. Annual Report 2024/25
Environment

This assessment was informed by internal stakeholder engagement, particularly with our operations and R&D teams. Our materiality process aligns with ESRS 2 IRO-1 and IRO-2, and we applied methodologies, such as material flow analysis, life cycle assessments (LCAs), and spend-based data reviews, to identify and prioritize material impacts, dependencies, risks, and opportunities. As this is our first year of reporting on this KPI, we have not yet conducted consultations with affected local communities. We recognize the importance of such engagement and plan to incorporate it in future assessments. Given the global nature of our supply chain and product use, our impacts are global in scope rather than location-specific.
Our impacts across the value chain include:
We identified several emerging risks, including:
These risks and impacts also present opportunities to:
We identified key interfaces with nature across our value chain, including:
By following circular economy principles and optimizing resource use, we have identified a material opportunity to improve efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and enhance financial and reputational resilience. Transitioning to bioplastics positions Ambu as a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic-based medical device manufacturers.
The outcome of the double materiality assessment (DMA), including the identified material risks, has been established on the assumption that Ambu continues operating under normal conditions ('business as usual').
Our Environmental Policy guides our efforts to reduce climate impact and promote circular resource use across the value chain.
We have not adopted any targets for resource use & circular economy this financial year. We will continue to focus on circular economy principles in our products and packaging together with circular waste management, and are expected to implement and report on targets in the next financial year, 2025/26. We take continuous action to reduce resource use, increase circularity, and minimize waste across product design and development, manufacturing, and product end-of-life. This financial year, we set internal ambitions that stem from our Environmental Policy commitments.

We are committed to advancing circular economy principles across product design, packaging, and material innovation. A dedicated team of 3 FTEs in R&D sustainability, supported by ~1 FTE from technical teams, drives the development and implementation of circular solutions. These efforts are ongoing, with no defined end point, reflecting our long-term strategic commitment. We have successfully integrated bioplastics into all marketed endoscope handles, receiving FDA clearance for the world's first endoscope with a bioplastic handle – an innovation that reduces lifecycle carbon emissions by 6–13%. Bioplastics have also been introduced into packaging components, such as the cuff protector for the Ambu® Aura laryngeal mask portfolio, and we continue to scout bio-based alternatives for primary packaging in high-volume products. Circular design is now embedded in our R&D and governance processes. All innovation projects follow our sustainability procedure, applying our circular design guide, setting project-specific sustainability ambitions, and reviewing outcomes to ensure environmental performance. To support credible green claims, we have strengthened our data-driven approach through life-cycle assessments (LCAs), which evaluate up to 16 environmental parameters, in line with ISO 14040/14044 standards. This year, we expanded our LCA evidence base to cover seven additional products and completed a comparative LCA of single use vs. reusable endoscopy, including third-party review.

The Ambu® Recircle Program is our global recycling program, designed to support a more circular business model by enabling the safe collection, transport, and recycling of used single-use Ambu endoscopes into new raw materials. Over the reporting period, the program progressed from concept to execution, launching in four key markets: the USA, the UK, France, and Germany. Strategic partnerships with recycling and circularity experts were established to ensure long-term scalability. We invested in key infrastructure and allocated dedicated full-time resources both at headquarters and in local markets to drive execution and maintain strategic alignment across regions. A governance model anchored by our CFO ensures oversight, while annual targets and KPIs – focused on customer engagement and environmental impact – are reported to the Executive Leadership Team. The Ambu® Recircle Program is now fully embedded in our sustainability strategy and contributes to both environmental performance and commercial value. Beyond endoscopes, the program will be expanded to include blades from our video laryngoscopy in 2025/26, and as we continue to sell single-use endoscopes and video laryngoscopes, the program remains an ongoing initiative with no defined end point.

We have implemented structured waste management practices across our production sites, supported by internal operational resources, such as production data systems and standard operating procedures (SOPs). These practices are revisited annually to track progress and ensure continuous improvement. At our production facilities in China and the U.S., we apply circular waste handling by recycling runners from the injection moulding process. These runners are re-ground and reintegrated into the production cycle through an internal system, reducing material waste and supporting resource efficiency. This initiative is operationally embedded and ongoing, with no defined end point.

Ambu's approach to resource inflows focuses on reducing overall material use and minimizing reliance on virgin and fossil-based inputs. We apply circular sourcing principles in product and packaging design, defining circular inflows as materials that are sustainably sourced (e.g., bioplastics), recycled (chemically or mechanically), or recyclable.
In 2024/25, bioplastics accounted for 0.53% of materials used in our products, while recycled content was 0%. These figures represent our current baseline and inform future improvements in sustainable sourcing.
Key material inflows include plastics, electronics, metals, paper, cardboard, adhesives, chemi cals, and water. Plastics dominate our material use, which is why our transition efforts prioritize substituting virgin plastics with bio-attributed alternatives and reducing material weight – particularly in strategic components like endoscope handles and packaging. These targeted changes support our circularity goals and demonstrate that even small shifts in material design can drive meaningful environmental and commercial impact.
| Resource inflows | Unit | 2024/25 |
|---|---|---|
| Weight of products and technical and biological materials | Mass (tonnes) | 12,788 |
| Percentage of biological materials (and biofuels) used for | ||
| non-energy purposes | % | 0 |
| Rates of sustainably sourced content | % | 0.53 |
| Absolute weight of recycled materials used to manufacture products and services, including packaging |
Mass (tonnes) | 67 |
| Percentage of recycled materials (secondary reused, or recycled components, secondary intermediary) |
% | 0 |
Ambu reports on material inflows by weight and percentage, categorized by technical and biological materials, as well as secondary (recycled), sustainably sourced (renewable), and virgin/fossil-based materials. This classification aligns with ISO 59004:2024 definitions and circular economy principles. We distinguish our material inflows by aligning with circular eco nomic principles, which inherently address both technical and biological material cycles.
Key definitions:
Technical materials: Durable, non-biodegradable materials designed for reuse or recycling.
Biological materials: Renewable, biodegradable materials intended to return safely to the biosphere.
Secondary materials: Recycled content reprocessed through manufacturing.
Sustainably sourced materials: Bio-based, bio-attributed, or renewable inputs (e.g. FSCcertified cardboard, second-generation bioplastics). Bioplastics fall under technical materials, as they are not biodegradable or renewable.
Data is calculated using product-level material composition and sales information. Primary data is derived from internal product documentation, covering the majority of sold units. For the remaining portion, estimates are based on average product weights and material profiles, applying conservative assumptions informed by available product insights. Double counting has been avoided by grouping resources distinctly to help avoid counting the same resource inflows across multiple entities or departments.
Some data was excluded due to missing weight information, accounting for 5% of total volume. This is Ambu's first year of reporting on this KPI.


Ambu primarily manufactures single-use endoscopes, designed to ensure patient safety and procedural efficiency. In accordance with clinical waste regulations, these devices are typically incinerated after use. We are committed to changing this by diverting waste from incineration to recycling with our pioneering Ambu® Recircle Program. The program is successfully launched in key markets, specifically the U.S., the UK, Germany, and France, where used endoscopes are collected for material recovery, and turned into secondary raw materials for new applications.
Our recycling program is enabled by the composition of our resource outflows, which consist of materials suitable for recovery, including plastics, metals, electronics, cardboard, paper, and other substances, such as gels and adhesives. Material recovery is our preferred end-of-life processing for our products and serves as a cornerstone of our circular design approach, embedded from the earliest stages of product development – through material selection, component design, and packaging choices.
This approach extends to packaging, where rate of recyclable content in the product packaging is 68%, a figure we aim to increase as we introduce more circular products and packaging to the market. This figure reflects our ongoing efforts to improve material circularity and reduce environmental impact across our product portfolio positioning Ambu for sustainable long-term growth. For durable devices, we prioritize repairability, reusability, and recyclability. In our Endo-Intelligence™ endoscopy systems, designs emphasize repair and reuse to extend product life of our durable devices.
This year, we have been developing our methodology for assessing product repairability and recyclability in preparation for next year's CSRD reporting. For this reporting year, we apply a conservative approach and report zero for the design-for-recycling indicator, pending full methodology implementation. The calculation of the design for recycling indicator is based on available product and packaging data. Only simple packaging components – such as cardboard boxes and mono-material plastic items – are currently considered to be designed for recycling.

Products and materials – durability: Durability is the expected lifetime of the product. As our products are primarily single-use, we have used the definition of shelf-life which refers to the period during which a product remains safe and effective for use while in storage. We measure it in years.
Products and materials repairability: We have taken a conservative approach, assuming that we have zero repairable products. We have been developing an approach to enable reporting and monitoring on product repairability for specific product categories next year. *
Rates of recyclable content in products: We used the total weight of products designed for recycling and the weight of products not designed for recycling. The Product Recyclability rate is calculated as the proportion of total product weight that is designed for recycling, based on internal design principles.
Rates of recyclable content in packaging: We used the total weight of packaging designed for recycling and the weight of packaging not designed for recycling. The Packaging Recyclability rate is calculated as the proportion of total packaging weight that is designed for recycling, based on internal design principles.
We have used product-level data on material composition, design attributes, and sales quantities. The core data source provides detailed component-level information on finished goods (products, packaging, and IFUs). This includes weights, materials, circular content, and design for recycling. Necessary estimates are derived from FG data + estimations sheet, which include total weight data for shipped items. Where data is unavailable, conservative assumptions are applied based on average profiles from an internal product database.
The reported figures represent products or packaging designed to be recyclable, meaning they are manufactured in a way that enables recycling where appropriate infrastructure exists.

This financial year, we generated 3,418 tonnes of waste, 98% non-hazardous and 2% hazardous. Our total waste generation increased only 1%, from 3,379 to 3,418, remaining at the levels similar to last year. Due to operational changes that resulted in a change of the waste composition, we observed a decline of 12% in the volume in waste successfully diverted for recycling 46% this year, compared to 52% the previous year. This trend highlights the need for continued investment in scalable recycling infrastructure and partnerships with local recycling facilities to ensure sustainable waste handling in line with our environmental commitments.

Total amounts of waste generated: Ambu has collected data on actual amount of waste generated at our HQ and production sites from our local EHS / ESG teams. We calculated an estimation value for our sales offices, innovation, and warehouses based on HQ consumption, which we then multiplied by headcount number in each office, with disposal methods estimate based on data from the UNDP. This has been done as we have not obtained actual data for our offices. We include waste that goes to recycling, recovery, incineration, and landfill in total waste.
Total hazardous waste: Ambu counts hazardous waste as waste material that poses substantial or potential threats to public health or the environment due to its chemical, physical, or biological properties, based on local regulation at each of our production sites and HQ. For our sales offices we have estimated waste generation based on HQ's waste consumption and headcount at each office.
Total non-hazardous waste: Ambu counts non-hazardous waste as waste materials that do not pose an immediate threat to human health or the environment. We have collected actual data for each of our production sites and HQ, and calculated an estimation for our sales offices based on HQ waste consumption and headcount number in each office.
Percentage of non-recycled waste: This refers to waste that is recovered, incinerated, or sent to landfill at our production sites, headquarters, and offices (estimated values). It is calculated by dividing the amount of non-recycled waste by the total amount of waste generated.
Percentage of recycled waste: This is waste that has been sent for recycling at our production sites, HQ and offices (estimated value). This is calculated by dividing the waste that is recycled by the total amount of waste generated.
Ambu has historically excluded materials diverted through reuse from its waste reporting, as such materials are not classified as waste. Plastics reused internally do not meet the CSRD definition of 'waste' and are therefore reported as zero.





We foster a culture of empowerment and growth and uphold human rights across our operations and through our value chain. We also prioritize the well-being of end users, ensuring our solutions reflect care, safety, and responsibility.

At Ambu, our people are at the heart of our organization. We are committed to fostering a safe, inclusive, and empowering work environment that supports well-being, development, and engagement.
As a medical device manufacturer, our success is driven by the talent of our people. Our global workforce – comprising around 5,200 individuals across 20 countries and four continents – includes full-time and part-time employees, external consultants, advisors, contractors, and individuals engaged through employment agencies. Together, they contribute to our operations across production sites, innovation centers, sales offices, and headquarters.
To understand how views, interests, and rights of people in our own workforce influence our business model and strategy, please refer to Engaging with stakeholders, pp. 63 - 64.
We recognize that all individuals within our workforce – regardless of employment type – may be impacted by our business activities. The nature and extent of these impacts vary based on factors such as job function, geographic location, and individual characteristics, including contract type. We maintain a clear and up-to-date understanding of where specific groups may face any potential negative impacts or risks through quarterly engagement with relevant People & Culture representatives. These insights help us tailor and

reinforce our commitment to a safe and equitable working environment.
As part of our DMA, we have identified workforce groups that may be at heightened risk of adverse impacts. These include migrant workers at our production sites, as well as contractors, temporary staff, individuals in physically demanding roles, and members of our sales force who rely on car transportation. On a quarterly basis, there is engagement with local teams to gather insights into regional risks and workforce conditions. People & Culture is further supported by internal data on incidents, absenteeism, and workforce demographics. Read more under Workforce characteristics, p. 109, and Workplace accidents, p. 111.
Our global presence and industry-specific challenges can introduce potential negative impacts. Based on our DMA (aligned with ESRS 2, IRO-1), we have identified the following:
labor, as outlined in our Code of Conduct (see Ambu's policies, p. 73), we recognize that without our rigorous and protective human rights safeguards, there could be reputational or legal consequences. These safeguards include clear expectations, continuous monitoring, and strict consequences in the event of non-compliance (read more on Actions related to own workforce, p. 107).
Ambu has identified material risks and opportunities related to its dependency on skilled talent, particularly in regions such as Asia, where labor shortages and a competitive hiring environment pose challenges. These dependencies primarily affect specialized roles in production, making workforce availability and retention critical to business continuity and execution. We address risks on an ongoing basis by checking proper compensation of our workforce, through ongoing attrition across locations and the time taken to fill vacant positions. We monitor for labor shortages in some regions. We rely on the workforce in countries where we have our production sites, but by spreading our manufacturing activities globally, we reduce the risk of facing labor shortages at a given location.
To date, we have not identified any material risks or workforce impacts arising from our environmental transition plans. We remain vigilant and continue to monitor potential implications – such as evolving skill requirements – to ensure our
workforce is equipped and supported through any future changes.
We promote good working conditions across our global operations, ensuring fair treatment, safe workplaces, and access to career opportunities for all employees hired under an employment contract. We are committed to the well-being of our entire workforce – including full-time and part-time employees, contractors, freelancers, and consultants – by fostering a healthy worklife balance and a supportive work environment across all locations and employment types.
We uphold human rights and respect every individual's right to organize and engage in collective bargaining, regardless of employment status or geographic location. We ensure equal access to skill development and professional growth, and we actively promote continuous learning and inclusion. Our three employee representatives on the Board hold the same mandate as shareholder-elected members, contributing directly to our business strategy and workplace improvements.
By investing in our people and promoting fair, respectful treatment, we strengthen employee engagement, attract and retain talent, and support the well-being of our end users, ultimately, contributing to stronger organizational performance.
Ambu's commitment to human and labor rights is embedded in our global policies, including the Code of Conduct, Global Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Policy, Speak Up – Integrity Line Policy, and Labor & Human Rights Policy, which collectively guide our workforce practices and ensure alignment with ILO standards. Our Code of Conduct and Business Partner Code address discrimination, safety, human trafficking, and forced and child labor. Currently, Ambu only recognizes the grounds for discrimination listed in ESRS S1-24(b) and any additional grounds specified under national legislation. Respect for workers' rights is further supported through Global Framework Agreements embedded in our Code of Conduct.
104
Our policies are aligned with internationally recognized human rights instruments and the core conventions of the International Labor Organization (ILO). The Labor & Human Rights Policy clearly articulates Ambu's zero-tolerance stance on child labor and forced labor. For further information on the governance, scope, and implications of these policies, refer to Ambu's policies, pp. 73-76.
While we do not currently have a standalone policy dedicated to workplace accident prevention, all employees are covered under our comprehensive workplace accident management system. This ensures consistent and effective
handling of incidents across our global workforce.
We are committed to cultivating a purposeful, and inclusive culture – one where our employees are empowered to apply their competencies, collaborate closely with colleagues and customers, and take ownership of results and shared success. To foster engagement and alignment, we maintain open and ongoing dialogue with our employees through global engagement surveys, town halls, purpose and values sessions, CEO communications, strategy newsletters, intranet updates, performance development dialogues, workers' councils, and sustainability training.
Concerns may also be reported directly to our Global Risk & Compliance team, members of management, line managers, or representatives from global or local People & Culture, or our legal teams.
To date, we have not identified any cases of human rights violations requiring remedial action. At present, we do not have a dedicated policy specifically addressing groups at heightened risk of vulnerability. Instead, we fully recognize the importance of strengthening our approach in this area. As part of our ongoing responsible business conduct, we are actively exploring ways to enhance our policies and practices to better support and protect vulnerable groups across our operations and value chain.
At Ambu, we actively encourage our employees to share their perspectives and insights – both with one another and with leadership. We foster open dialogue through structured engagement channels, such as surveys, events, local town hall meetings, and other feedback mechanisms. This input plays a vital role in shaping our decisions and actions, helping us identify and address both actual and potential impacts on our workforce.
We integrate workforce-related risks into our broader ERM framework. These are identified through audits, engagement surveys, and HR data, and assessed alongside financial risks. Read more under Impacts, risks and opportunities, pp. 103-104, and our IRO overview, pp. 69-70. Governance and mitigation are embedded in our ZOOM AHEAD strategy, and workforce considerations are part of our strategic decision-making.
We use multiple engagement channels to gather insights from employees across all roles and regions. Our annual "Our Voice" global employee engagement survey – led by the Chief People Officer and managed by Group People & Culture – achieving a record 92% participation rate and an engagement score of 4.1, sustaining last year's strong performance and remaining above industry benchmarks. Our results reflect that people at Ambu, across functions and sites, are eager to share their thoughts and ideas about what makes Ambu a great workplace now and in the years to
come. The survey supports improvement efforts by collecting feedback on working conditions from employees across all countries, including insights from potentially vulnerable groups. Ambu fosters open dialogue and a strong sense of community through regular engagement opportunities. Each quarter, we host live-streamed global town hall meetings, where employees can interact directly with members of the ELT. These are followed by functional-specific town halls, led by individual ELT members, such as the CFO, COO, or CTO, enabling focused discussions. We also organize frequent social events throughout the year to strengthen connections across teams. These initiatives are employee-driven. Their impact is assessed through social surveys, with feedback actively informing future planning.

Ambu provides multiple protected channels – including the Speak Up - Integrity Line and direct reporting options – to empower employees, customers, and all other stakeholders across the value chain to safely raise serious concerns about misconduct, human rights, environmental violations, and other critical issues. Employees who experience discrimination or harassment are encouraged to seek support, while leadership has a duty to report any such cases they witness or are notified of. Reports can be submitted directly to People & Culture, or through our Speak Up - Integrity Line if the employee wishes to remain anonymous. Bullying can be reported directly to the Speak Up - Integrity Line, although the first resort for reporting would be approaching People & Culture. Reporting is anonymous and does not require personal details. We run annual campaigns and awareness initiatives for employees and external stakeholders and are strengthening collaboration across the business to streamline concern-raising. Ongoing feedback and internal communication help ensure that employees trust the Speak Up - Integrity Line.
For more information on the Speak up - Integrity Line, our grievance investigations, and relevant governance of handling grievances, please refer to Speak Up - Integrity Line, p. 47.
Through our monitoring and auditing process, we assess the effectiveness of the remedy
provided. This is anchored in our Human & Labor Rights Policy, Code of Conduct, and Code of Conduct for Business Partners, and complies with the relevant legislation.
To learn more about our approach to reporting grievances, investigation process and oversight, and our Anti-Retaliation Policy, please read about our Speak Up - Integrity Line, p. 47, and Ambu's policies, p. 74.
Our unwavering commitment to respecting and protecting human and labor rights is firmly rooted in our company values, Take Charge, Team Up, and Be True. We take a proactive and transparent approach to managing workforce-related matters through a comprehensive set of policies, including our Code of Conduct, Global Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Policy, Speak Up - Integrity Line Policy, and Labor & Human Rights Policy. These policies serve as guiding principles that ensure ethical conduct, inclusivity, and accountability across our global operations. For information on the governance, scope, and implications of these policies, please see Ambu's policies, pp. 73-77.
Tracking the progress and effects of our actions is crucial. Our employee engagement survey, "Our Voice," collects employee feedback to ensure increased engagement. The approach to track our DEI results is data-driven and unbiased. We continue to be committed to bias-free recruitment and promotion processes, and last year, we made significant strides in reducing bias. Our global employee engagement survey helps us identify our DEI score, currently at 4.2 out of 5.
To mitigate material risks arising from our impact and dependencies on our own workforce, we take proactive actions. Read more under Own workforce actions, p. 107.
Due to Ambu's global character, environmental risks and consequently their impacts are material to our own workforce. Following the severe floods in Valencia, Spain, we donated DKK 89,548 to the Aldis Association to support recovery efforts, helping rebuild and furnish a new space for community activities.
To effectively manage material impacts on our workforce, Ambu has established dedicated People & Culture teams within each material legal entity. These local teams collaborate closely with the global People & Culture functions, enabling responsive and context-specific actions.
To pursue material opportunities in relation to our own workforce, Ambu has several actions planned or underway. We aim to invest in training and development programs, according to the results of our engagement survey.
While we are firmly committed to ensuring good working conditions and upholding work-related rights, we do not report on specific actions in
this area. Such reporting would primarily reflect our adherence to existing regulations and internationally recognized human rights standards, rather than addressing any identified adverse impacts. Our focus remains on maintaining consistently high workforce practice standards that align with legal requirements and ethical expectations, ensuring that all employees are treated fairly, respectfully, and with integrity.

We have set targets regarding our own workforce as follows:
• 2.0 for LTIF (Lost Time Injury Frequency) in production sites, innovation centers, and sales offices at all times.
We aim to revisit these targets annually and report on progress in our sustainability statement. This year, our LTIF is 0.796, well below our target, which we observe as a great result and a testament to our focus and ongoing efforts to improve health and safety across all of our production sites and offices globally. Read more on Health & safety, p. 111, to understand methodologies, progress, and metrics used to calculate this number. Progress is measured quarterly. The baseline value remains unchanged, and the base year dates back to last year, when we officially began reporting on this target. Workplace representatives on the BoD engage in setting and monitoring this target.

As part of our material topic on human rights, including belonging, Ambu's approach to diversity focuses on cognitive diversity rather than external characteristics, such as gender, race, or age.
In 2024/25, Ambu carried out several local initiatives aimed at boosting employee belonging across all legal entities. These actions were global in scope and guided by the results of the "Our Voice" employee monitor employee belonging across the organization. Based on the survey results, appropriate local actions were taken. The progress of these initiatives is monitored annually, with local People & Culture representatives determining the specific actions relevant to their entities. Dedicated local People & Culture FTEs oversee the process, while our Chief People Officer is the most senior person accountable for the implementation.

As part of our material topic on working conditions – including talent retention – we launched the Ambu Leadership Compass in December 2024. It aims to set a shared direction for how to lead at Ambu, in line with our strategic goals and our culture.
The Ambu Leadership Compass is founded on our core values – Take Charge, Team Up, and Be True. For each value, it provides our leaders with four concrete and actionable behaviors for how to lead our people. The leadership initiative is global in scope and forms the foundation for all our leadership development activities. One dedicated FTE oversees the process, with governance and implementation led by our Chief People Officer. 100% of our senior leaders participated in Ambu Leadership Compass workshops this year. Further monitoring has not yet begun, however, annual progress will be tracked and disclosed under "Engagement with own workforce" in the Annual Report.

As part of our commitment to the material topic of working conditions and human rights, Ambu conducted a global audit in 2024/25 to ensure that all employees across our Group are paid above the minimum wage. This initiative stems from the implementation of Ambu's Labor & Human Rights Policy and is applied consistently across all business units, including production, sales, and innovation. This is an ongoing action, and Ambu aims to
wage exists, Ambu monitors market trends to ensure fair compensation. A dedicated FTE oversees the process, ensuring that all employees receive an adequate wage. The most senior person accountable for implementation and monitoring is our Chief People Officer. Progress is tracked annually through the "Adequate Wage" KPI, which is reported as part of our ongoing CSRD implementation efforts.

In 2024/25, our total headcount increased slightly, reflecting our focus on sustainable growth and operational resilience. At the same time, we saw a notable improvement in employee retention, with turnover decreasing from 23% in 2023/24 to just 16% in 2024/25, and voluntary turnover improving from 20% to 12%. This highly positive development is a testament to our ongoing focus on fostering an engaged culture and consistent global communication. By consistently spotlight ing our strong financial results, strong execu tive leadership, high ambitions, breakthrough innovations, and local milestones, we have strengthened employee connection and align ment. These developments fuel internal pride and reinforce a shared sense of purpose, helping employees see the direct link between their contributions and the company's success.
The total number of FTEs is also disclosed in the Financial Statement under Staff Cost. Read about staff cost and remuneration (note 2.3) in Section 2: Operating profit and tax, p. 145. This number is different to Headcount.
This year marks our first time reporting on collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) and social dialogue. We have six CBAs within the European Economic Area (EEA). We do not have representation agreements through European Works Council (EWC), Societas Europaea (SE) Works Council, or Societas Cooperativa Europaea (SCE) Works Council.

Ambu categorizes employees into three groups: white-collar, indirect blue-collar, and blue-collar. White-collar employees include those in administrative functions such as Sales, Marketing, Innovation, Finance, and IT, as well as production planners, Heads of Production, student workers, and trainees; indirect blue-collar employees support Production without direct product contact, including roles in QC, warehousing, and transport, but are externally reported as white-collar from FY 2023/24; blue-collar employees work directly with products at production sites, including apprentices. Headcount data is collected quarterly and reported at the end of the financial year. Gender is reported across two categories, althoug 2 employees are reported as other. Permanent employees are defined as those on openended contracts with no predetermined end date, while temporary employees are on fixedterm contracts with a defined start and end date, such as maternity cover or traineeships. Employees with no Ambu contract are excluded from headcount, but included under Staff Cost in Section 2: Operating profit and tax, p. 145.Employee turnover rate is categorized as voluntary, involuntary, retirement and death, respectively. Employee turnover is calculated by dividing the total number of leavers, – voluntary, involuntary, and retirement – by the total headcount and multiplying by 100. Voluntary turnover rate is calculated as sum of voluntary leavers, including retirement divided by the average employee headcount.

The geographic distribution of employees is calculated by aggregating the total headcount within the specific geographic locations where our legal entities are established. The calculation is based on total headcount at year-end. Employees with no Ambu contract are excluded from headcount, but included under Staff Cost in Section 2: Operating profit and tax, p. 145. Two employees identified as other and are included in the number of total employees. A detailed breakdown is provided for locations with 50 or more employees. All other locations are grouped under the "Others" category.

The coverage of collective bargaining is calculated by dividing the total number of employees covered by CBAs during the reporting period by the total number of employees at Ambu, across all legal entities globally. For entities with significant employment—defined as having more than 50 employees and representing at least 10% of Ambu's total workforce – coverage is calculated at the entity level by dividing the number of employees covered by CBAs by the total number of employees in that entity. Although we do not report the number of employees covered by CBAs outside the EEA separately, this data is included in the calculation of the total percentage of employees covered by CBAs. Only those in entities with more than 50 employees and representing at least 10% of the total workforce are reflected in our disclosures.
Workers' representatives are employee-elected individuals who represent staff on matters such as working conditions and the work environment.
For entities with significant employment, representation coverage is calculated by dividing the number of employees represented by workers' representatives by the total number of employees in that entity.Data for both CBAs and workers' representative coverage is collected annually through a structured survey distributed to local People & Culture representatives across all legal entities. This ensures consistency and comparability across the organization and reflects the reporting period accurately.

All employees receive appropriate and adequate pay in accordance with legal and industry standards, which are compiled in our Labor & Human Rights Policy. Read more about our Labor & Human Rights Policy in Ambu's policies, p. 73, and more about Adequate wage audit, p. 107.
Gender distribution at Ambu is calculated by aggregating the total headcount for women and men in top management. Top management is defined as one level below the Executive Leadership Team (ELT), consisting of employees with direct reporting lines to an ELT member globally.
110
The distribution is measured quarterly. At the end of each reporting period, the number of women and men in top management is summed and each gender's share is calculated as a percentage of the total combined headcount.
The age distribution of employees is calculated by aggregating the total headcount across three age groups: under 30 (29 or below), 30 to 49, and 50 or above. The figures are based on an average taken over the reporting period, and percentages are calculated using the total workforce as the denominator to provide a proportional view across the organization.
The adequate wage analysis covers Ambu's three largest manufacturing locations: China, Malaysia, and Mexico. These sites were selected based on their total headcount of direct and indirect blue-collar employees, which represents a significant portion of Ambu's global workforce (~50%). Each employee's base salary is benchmarked against the applicable statutory minimum wage in accordance with the principles of ESRS. All employees in these sites are paid at least an adequate wage in accordance with the applicable minimum wage The analysis is based on compensation data extracted from our HR system, SuccessFactors. It includes all employees at three selected manufacturing locations, blue-collar, indirect blue collar and white collar, with the exception of interns. Each employee has their salary benchmarked against the applicable statuary minimum wage. For China and Mexico, where minimum wage levels vary by region, the analysis applies to a location-specific minimum wage corresponding to each employee's work location to ensure accurate benchmarking. For Mexico, where the minimum wage is reported daily, it is converted to an annual equivalent.

Recordable work-related accidents: The number of recordable work-related accidents for our own workforce includes two incidents with and without time lost.
All workplace accidents are reported locally through a centralized system. Reporting procedures and workplace instructions are in place at all production sites, offices, and legal entities, including those without physical office locations. The rate of recordable work-related accidents is calculated by dividing the total work-related accidents by the total hours worked at year-end and multiplying it by 1,000,000. The total work-related accidents include lost time accidents and accidents without loss time.
Lost Time Injury Frequency: LTIF is calculated by dividing the number of registered loss time injuries/accidents by the total hours worked for the period and multiplying it by 1,000,000 hours worked. We have followed the formula created by the Global General HSE Policy for calculating LTIF.
We collect this data on health and safety quarterly, and report on yearly numbers.
The gender pay gap reflects historical sector factors in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) industry, where men typically occupy senior roles. Ambu is actively preparing for the EU Pay Transparency Directive, and although the current gender pay gap is below the 5% thresholds, we are committed to ensuring that all pay differences are based on objective, gender-neutral criteria.
The annual total remuneration ratio of the highest-paid individual to the median annual total remuneration for all employees (excluding the highest-paid individual) is disclosed in the table below. This ratio reflects the significant disparity in compensation within Ambu. Furthermore, we consider benefits in cash, which is the sum of the base salary and cash allowance, bonuses, commissions, cash profit-sharing and other forms of viable cash payment.

Gender pay gap: The analysis covers all salaried employees on Ambu A/S's Danish payroll only, due to limited access to structured data at Group level. The gender pay gap is calculated as the percentage difference between average male and female total remuneration, which includes base salary, allowances, pension contributions, and target-value incentives. Ambu is actively preparing for the upcoming EU Pay Transparency Directive, with reporting obligations already initiated under ESRS S1-16, while also improving the data structures at Group level. These early requirements are being addressed through enhanced data systems and internal alignment.
Annual total remuneration ratio: Our Code of Conduct prescribes the principle of fair remuneration, ensuring all employees receive at least the applicable national minimum wage. Salary levels for Operators across our operations reflect this principle, as they are aligned with or exceed relevant minimum wage thresholds. The CEO pay ratio is calculated by dividing the total annual remuneration of the CEO by the average total remuneration of all employees, based on full-time equivalent figures across all geographies. This includes fixed salary, bonuses, and other benefits.
The resulting ratio reflects the composition of our workforce across regions, differences in local purchasing power, and our headquarters being located in Denmark.

We received no reports of human rights violations through our Speak Up – Integrity Line. We recorded six people-related cases concerning discrimination and harassment. Of these, five related to discrimination: four were investigated and closed without substantiation, and one investigation remains ongoing. One case concerned harassment and led to the termination of the employee following a completed investigation. Throughout the year, we continued to promote awareness of our grievance mechanisms to ensure completeness of data and encourage reporting. We recognize that some cases may go unreported, and we remain committed to strengthening our internal governance and fostering a culture of transparency and accountability.

At Ambu, we uphold high ethical standards and prioritize the rights and well-being of workers across our value chain. Through our Responsible Supplier Program, we integrate environmental, social, and governance criteria into supplier selection and engagement. Supported by our Code of Conduct for Business Partners and regular assessments, we work to ensure fair labor practices, safe working conditions, and a resilient, sustainable supply chain.
As a global company, we rely on a broad value chain of thousands of suppliers who provide goods and services essential to our business. This means we directly and indirectly impact workers across our value chain – whether through sourcing raw materials for our medical devices, hiring external contractors for expansion projects, or partnering with logistics providers to distribute our products.
Our suppliers are primarily located in parts of Northern Europe, South and Southeast Asia, and North America. Across these regions, our operations can influence value chain workers' interests, views, and rights in several ways. Our procurement decisions may affect labor conditions, including wage levels, working hours, and the ability to exercise freedom of association, to varying extents. In manufacturing and construction environments, our requirements may have

Social
implications for occupational health and safety, potentially exposing workers to physical risks. We aim to mitigate these risks through our Code of Conduct for Business Partners and our Responsible Supplier Program. We carry out supplier audits and screen suppliers for safe working conditions, child labor, and climate-related criteria. The production and transportation of goods can involve environmental hazards that may impact workers' well-being.
Our business relationships can impact access to social protection, job security, and opportunities for skill development, all of which are important for workers' rights and long-term welfare. We aim to ensure that all partners across our global value chain meet and uphold minimum requirements for human rights, social standards, health and safety, and environmental responsibility. All value chain workers who are likely to be materially impacted by our operations, whether through our products, services, or business relationships, are included in the scope of this disclosure. Value chain workers who could be materially impacted by our activities are primarily those employed by entities in our upstream supply chain, including manufacturing and processing partners. While we do not operate in raw material extraction, we engage suppliers whose operations may involve risks related to working conditions, child labor, and climate-related impacts. These considerations are part of our supplier screening and audit procedures.
Ambu does not operate through joint ventures or special purpose vehicles. Therefore, no value chain workers materially impacted by our activities are employed in such structures.
Asia has been identified as a region where there is an elevated risk of child or forced labor, partly due to the presence of migrant workers. This has been recognized as a potential negative impact and may pose risks of labor rights violations. We acknowledge this as a systemic issue and are actively addressing it through rigorous due diligence when engaging with both existing and new suppliers. When assessing this potential negative impact, we have prioritized its likelihood. We recognize the risk of reputational damage if these impacts are not addressed appropriately and in a timely manner.
We have assessed potential impacts across our value chain and identified that material impacts are primarily present in the upstream segment, particularly in sourcing and manufacturing activities. As a result, workers in the downstream value chain – such as those employed by logistics providers, distributors, franchisees, or retailers – are not currently included in the scope of this disclosure, as no significant impacts have been identified in those areas.
We are firmly committed to upholding human rights across our operations and value chain.
This commitment is embedded in both the Ambu Code of Conduct and the Ambu Code of Conduct for Business Partners, which guide our ethical standards and expectations. Together with our Human & Labor Rights Policy, this commitment reflects our alignment with key international standards, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Labor Organization's Declaration (ILO) on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. These principles are integrated into our overall approach to responsible business conduct.
We are committed to establishing processes to identify, prevent, and mitigate potential and actual adverse human rights impacts that we may cause or contribute to through our direct operations, or that we may be contributing to or linked to via our business activities with partners. We are dedicated to remediating any adverse human rights impacts that we either cause directly or to which we contribute.
As part of our Labor & Human Rights Policy, we engage external experts to review our policies and procedures and involve relevant stakeholders in our due diligence processes and discussions on remediation. We maintain appropriate grievance mechanisms to enable stakeholders to raise concerns. Additionally, where we have the potential to influence other parties directly linked to our operations, we use our leverage
to encourage them to cease activities that may lead to adverse human rights impacts, should we become aware of such issues.
In addition to endorsing the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact, our Code of Conduct for business partners and our Labor & Human Rights Policy are grounded in internationally recognized standards. These include the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, and the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas. We also align with the Conventions of the ILO, particularly its fundamental principles and rights at work.
Our Code of Conduct reflects both national and international standards, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, as codified in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. It also incorporates the Guiding Principles of the Drive Sustainability initiative.
No breach of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, or the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises involving value chain workers, has been identified this financial year.

Please read more about our policies related to value chain workers at Ambu's policies, pp. 73-76.
We have established a process to respond when potential adverse impacts on value chain workers are identified. In such cases, we act to ensure that the issue is addressed with transparency and accountability, in line with our commitment to international human rights principles. Engagement is overseen by the Senior Director, Sustainability and Risk & Compliance.
We explicitly address human trafficking, forced labor, and child labor in our Code of Conduct for Business Partners. To promote ethical and environmentally responsible practices, we are committed to assessing, monitoring, and addressing human rights risks across our operations and value chain. Through our Responsible Supplier Program and Code of Conduct for Business Partners, we set clear expectations for suppliers – not only in terms of quality and cost – but also across a broad spectrum of sustainability and integrity criteria, including business ethics, human rights, labor standards, environmental impact, and awareness.
We are actively preparing to meet emerging regulatory requirements, such as the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD). These efforts are aimed at reducing or eliminating human rights-related risks, strengthening value chain resilience, and ensuring the continued delivery of high-quality products to our customers.
We engage with workers in our value chain through audits conducted as part of our Responsible Supplier Program. Our Procurement team initiates contact with suppliers classified as medium or high risk. When a supplier falls into one of these categories, we carry out supplier audits, which include direct interviews with employees to gain insight into working conditions and practices. Supplier questionaires are given to all new high-spend suppliers, and based on scoring, we determine whether a direct audit is necessary. We also offer access to our Speak Up - Integrity Line, a channel for reporting potential violations or sharing feedback. It is available to anyone who wishes to raise concerns or contribute to continuous improvement across our value chain. Read more about its governance under Speak Up - Integrity Line, p. 47.
Our mitigation efforts are action-oriented and tailored to the nature of the risk or negative impact we contribute to. These may include follow-up questionnaires, on-site visits, and audits, and always involve the implementation of a targeted improvement plan. We do not have a specific mechanism which would assess value chain workers' access to our Speak Up - Integrity Line.

Our Code of Conduct for Business Partners, which forms part of our supplier agreements, includes provisions on the protection of human rights. At present, we do not apply additional or separate contractual clauses beyond this framework. Read more about our Code of Conduct for Business Partners under Ambu's policies, p. 73
We have updated our Code of Conduct for Business Partners to reflect relevant international standards, reporting requirements, and grievance mechanisms – including access to the Speak Up - Integrity Line. The Code of Conduct outlines expectations around remedies and continuous improvement. Further details of our approach to remediation can be found under Code of Conduct for Business Partners, p. 73 .
As part of the Code of Conduct for Business Partners, we have Global Framework Unions in place.
The perspectives of value chain workers do not directly inform our decisions or activities aimed at managing actual or potential impacts. However, all suppliers are required to sign our Code of Conduct for Business Partners, which outlines expectations related to safe working conditions, child labor, and ethical practices. This framework supports our efforts to mitigate negative impacts across the supply chain.
We have taken initial steps to address and remediate human rights impacts affecting workers in our value chain. We recognize the need for a more structured and comprehensive approach to fully meet the requirements of ESRS S2. To conclude, we are committed to developing and implementing a due diligence policy that will outline specific actions aligned with identified IROs related to value chain workers. The policy will also provide justifications for any actions not yet adopted. Implementation is planned for 2026/27. We engage with medium- and high-risk suppliers through audits, on-site visits, and close monitoring – typically following the completion of our due diligence questionnaire. In preparation for the upcoming CSDDD, Ambu is developing a more robust procedure that will put greater focus on the human rights of value chain workers and strengthen our engagement measures. Imple mentation is planned for 2026/27. We have not taken any specific actions this financial year, and impementation of action is planned for 2026/27.
We have not yet established specific targets for value chain workers, as we are currently developing a formal due diligence policy.

At Ambu, we are committed to delivering safe, effective, and sustainable medical solutions that meet the needs of healthcare professionals and patients. We prioritize product safety, transparency, and innovation, incorporating user feedback into development to support high-quality care and reduce environmental impact. Through responsible marketing and post-market surveillance, we aim to build trust and enhance the user experience.
We identify our consumers and end users who are materially impacted by our operations as follows:
These stakeholder groups are defined based on their financial and functional roles: the organizations purchasing our products are considered consumers, while the healthcare professionals who use our devices are classified as end users. We do not classify patients as end users, as they do not directly handle or perform procedures using our products.
Building on this definition, our stakeholder engagement process for assessing material impacts across affected groups focuses on maintaining an ongoing understanding of the

Social
needs and concerns of both consumers and end users. These insights are essential for identifying material IROs and for informing decision-making related to IRO management and oversight, as well as product development, safety, and affordability in priority markets. All consumers and end users may be materially affected by our operations and activities across the value chain, although the nature and extent of these impacts can vary between stakeholder groups. No specific stakeholder groups have been found to be particularly vulnerable to our sales and marketing practices.
We have a positive impact on HCPs and health systems by equipping them with the tools they need to deliver timely diagnoses and effective, high-performance treatment. Our solutions directly support health systems by enabling broader access to high-quality, affordable care. In addition, our medical solutions support frontline clinicians, relieving staff shortages, and help reduce operational costs.
We have identified material negative impacts related to product quality and safety, as our products may affect end users if they do not meet established quality and safety standards. To address these impacts, we act swiftly and responsibly by initiating product recalls to safeguard end user well-being and uphold our commitment to quality.
Product quality and safety are also identified as material risks in our DMA, along with cybersecurity and data protection. In parallel, our risk assessment identifies the importance of maintaining rigorous quality and safety assurance processes within our Quality Management System (QMS). To manage these risks, our QMS complies with ISO 13485, MDSAP, EU MDR, and UKCA standards, helping to reduce product safety issues, recalls, and financial risk. Addressing equipment failures, defects, or inadequate risk disclosures also helps limit liability and protect shareholder value. If we do not uphold our commitment to delivering high-quality, safe products, we may face reputational damage, business disruption, and financial consequences, including product recalls or regulatory actions, such as FDA warnings.
We also identify opportunities to strengthen product quality and safety. All Ambu products are accompanied by manuals and labels designed to support correct handling, cleaning, and maintenance, helping to prevent damage and ensure safe use. In addition, the information on product safety and quality is publicly available on our corporate website, reflecting our commitment to transparency and accountability. These measures complement our QMS and reinforce our commitment to delivering reliable, high-performance solutions for HCPs that meet applicable regulatory standards and are designed for both safety and effectiveness. Based on the current assessment,
we have not identified any increased risk of harm to consumers or end users, defined as HCPs who operate our products. However, we recognize that delays in diagnosis or treatment may indirectly affect patient outcomes, underscoring the importance of timely access to safe and effective medical devices.
We have identified fair product cost and affordability as impact areas for certain consumer groups. Fair pricing not only helps contain healthcare costs but also supports revenue growth by enabling broader access to our solutions. While we have not identified specific consumers or end users – primarily HCPs – as disproportionately affected, we have strategically withdrawn from selected emerging markets to focus on fewer, prioritized geographies.
We consider the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights to reference the International Bill of Human Rights, which includes the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the two Covenants that implement it. This understanding informs the alignment of our human rights policies and practices in relation to consumers and end-users.

All our policies are currently being updated to fully align with the UN Guiding Principles, ILO Conventions, and OECD Guidelines. Our Healthcare Professionals Engagement Policy directly addresses respect for human rights, engagement with consumers and end users, and measures to remedy any adverse impacts. Our policies are also aligned with the MedTech Europe Code of Ethical Business Practice and the AdvaMed Code of Ethics. Entities operating outside this scope are also expected to comply with the same standards.
We have not identified any human rights violations involving consumers and end users in our downstream value chain.

Consumers and end users remain the main strategic priority for us, and we place significant value on their perspectives. Read more about customer engagement at Engaging with stakeholders, p. 63. Across all key markets, we deliver innovative solutions that address real clinical needs. Our actions are guided by market indicators, performance data, and direct input from consumers and end users. In response to encouraging feedback from our controlled market release, we launched our Ambu® Sure-Sight™ Connect solution in North America and the UK. We also engaged in a global launch of our new ureteroscopy solution, Ambu® aScope™ 5 Uretero, marking our expansion in Urology into kidney stone management and more complex clinical procedures.
We engage with consumers and end users either directly, as outlined in our Engagement Policy, or through credible proxies - primarily our own workforce - following the Global Engagement of Healthcare Professionals Policy. To ensure transparency and compliance, the engagement registration form must be completed for every
interaction we have with healthcare professionals. The most senior role responsible for ensuring stakeholder engagement and integrating its outcomes into Ambu's strategic approach is the Senior Director, Sustainability and Risk & Compliance. Our engagement with HCPs is illustrated below.
We recognize the significant overlap in requlatory requirements across jurisdictions and have established a unified process to ensure we meet all obligations effectively and consistently. Requirements related to supplier control are addressed in a dedicated quality procedure, while interactions with HCPs are covered in a separate procedure tailored to those specific needs. These requirements are fully integrated into this policy to ensure alignment and compliance across our operations.
Ambu has not yet taken targeted steps to understand the perspectives of particularly vulnerable or marginalized consumer and end-user groups. We recognize this as an important area for future development and are committed to strengthening our stakeholder engagement to ensure a more inclusive and representative approach.

Ambu addresses material impacts on consumers and end users at the local level, with each case managed individually to ensure context-specific and timely resolution. This process is currently decentralized, allowing for tailored responses that reflect the unique circumstances of each situation.
Ambu encourages consumers and end users to report any concerns through our Speak Up - Integrity Line or other available channels, such as audits or external complaints. A dedicated SOP ensures all investigations are handled consistently and thoroughly.
Issues raised typically follow a three-step investigation process.
Read more about our case management process, reporting grievances, investigation procedure under Speak Up - Integrity Line, p. 47. Read more about our Anti-Retaliation Policy under Ambu's policies, p. 74.
Ambu actively pursues initiatives aimed at contributing to improved social outcomes, trust, and well-being among our consumers and end users. These initiatives include community engagement programs, educational campaigns on safe product use, and partnerships with health organizations to enhance public health standards.
To prevent, mitigate, or remediate material negative impacts on consumers and end users, we have selected actions that stem from our policies. We have implemented measures to provide or enable remedies for actual material impacts. When such incidents occur, we promptly address them via corrective actions and support affected stakeholders. This reflects our commitment to upholding high standards of accountability and transparency in our business activities. By implementing these actions, we ensure that we avoid contributing to any material negative impacts on consumers and end users – including in areas such as sales and marketing data use. Various teams across the organization have been involved in executing these actions and managing related impacts. These efforts represent a strategic priority and are embedded in our values, Corporate Strategy, and Code of Conduct.
Please see our actions for consumers and end users on the next page. We have not yet set specific targets for these groups, however, we recognize the importance of this area and are committed to revisiting and evaluating our approach in the coming year.


Upholding quality standards in our solutions and processes is Ambu's license to operate and a core requirement for delivering high-quality solutions to the market. The Ambu Quality Management System (QMS) covers all aspects of our operations, including management responsibilities, design control, risk management, process and production controls, and product surveillance. It ensures compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements. This is an ongoing action embedded in our operational framework, supported by dedicated internal resources and systems. We continuously allocate operational capacity to maintain and improve our QMS, ensuring it evolves in line with regulatory changes and product

Ambu's marketing activities are governed by our Marketing Policy, which ensures that all communications – regardless of audience – are truthful, accurate, and aligned with the intended purpose and scope of use. All claims must be factual, verifiable, and supported by appropriate documentation. Our marketing materials do not include spot prices, promotional gifts, competitions, or premature results from ongoing clinical trials, nor do they contain personal interpretations of clinical data. These principles apply consistently across comparative advertising, electronic marketing, and B2B communications. Ethical marketing is an ongoing commitment embedded in our operations, supported by internal resources and oversight mechanisms to ensure compliance and integrity across all markets. This

Ambu ensures responsible handling of personal data through the use of Complyon, a documentation system that supports compliance with applicable data privacy legislation. Complyon enables structured documentation of how personal data is processed across the organization. To strengthen local ownership and compliance, privacy champions have been appointed within individual departments and business areas. These individuals consolidate operational and legal knowledge relevant to their specific functions, ensuring that data privacy practices are tailored, accurate, and effectively implemented. This is an ongoing initiative embedded in Ambu's governance framework, supported by internal resources and continuously maintained to reflect

Ambu is committed to delivering innovative solutions that address real clinical needs and improve access to high-quality care. Over the reporting period, we achieved several milestones that reflect this commitment: Regulatory clearance was obtained in the North America and the UK for Ambu® SureSight™ Connect, our new video laryngoscopy solution. Following positive feedback from a controlled market release, commercial activities have been initiated here. Also, we obtained FDA clearence for our Ambu® aScope™ 5 Cysto HD solution and furthermore obtained an extended clearance for the solution to be used as a cysto-nephroscope for PCNL procedures. Lastly, we engaged in a global launch of our Ambu® aScope™ 5 Uretero solution, expanding our offering in Urology. These actions are all part of our ongoing innovation strategy, supported by internal resources and embedded in our product improvement and responsiveness to healthcare needs. Actions are ongoing.


We drive ethical business practices through strong governance. This includes Code of Conduct training for employees and business partners, and adherence to supplier payment terms. These measures promote transparency, fairness, and accountability across our operations and value chain.

At Ambu, ethical conduct is foundational to medical device safety and patient care. We uphold transparent, responsible practices aligned with stakeholder expectations, guided by our Code of Conduct. Our governance ensures compliance, supports sustainability, and fosters long-term value – via anti-corruption measures and a speak-up culture via Our Speak Up - Integrity Line. We have seen positive impacts in ethics, principles, and supplier relations, strengthened by our Responsible Supplier Program. To safeguard market access and trust, we maintain rigorous standards across the organization.
At Ambu, the administrative, management, and supervisory bodies play a crucial role in overseeing business conduct. They are responsible for setting ethical standards, ensuring regulatory compliance, and guiding our strategic direction. These bodies regularly review policies and practices to ensure alignment with our company values and our commitment to ethical business operations.
These governing bodies possess extensive expertise in business conduct, including a deep understanding of regulatory requirements, ethical standards, and best practices in corporate governance. Their collective experience ensures that Ambu operates with integrity, accountability, and a strong commitment to ethical practices.
Our approach to corporate business conduct is outlined in Ambu's Code of Conduct, which is accessible to all employees.

Governance

As a MedTech company, we have the potential to positively impact society through our medical devices and solutions, benefiting patients, customers, stakeholders, and society at large. Our environmental and climate impact is amplified through collaborative projects with healthcare providers. Continuous skill development is essential to ensuring employee satisfaction and professional growth.
We have identified positive impacts in business ethics, general principles, and supplier relationships – strengthened by Ambu's Responsible Supplier Program. We uphold high standards at all times, as ethical breahces risk market access and stakeholder trust.
We have also identified risks related to corporate reporting, business ethics, particularly the risk of non-compliance with business conduct rules and regulations. Additionally, there is a risk associated with not effectively streamlining our operations, as well as the potential for revenue loss and reputational damage if our supply chain lacks resilience – for example, due to poor working conditions or inadequate environmental performance among suppliers.
We recognize the opportunity for Ambu to grow by creating a simplified and more agile operating model, which would enhance the execution of our strategic objectives.
We address our policies regarding business conduct and corporate culture in detail in the section on Ambu's policies, pp. 73-76.
Ambu enforces strict supplier compliance with our Code of Conduct for Business Partners, mitigating ESG and operational risks. Currently, 98% of suppliers have signed, reflecting strong governance and progress toward full adherence.
As of now, 99% of all our employees – including white-collar, blue-collar, and indirect blue-collar staff globally – have completed the Code of Conduct training. All white-collar employees are required to complete an annual e-learning module on the Code of Conduct, which includes training on anti-corruption and bribery. Blue-collar employees participate in in-person training sessions covering the same topics.
These training initiatives ensure that all employees and partners are aligned with our ethical standards and business conduct expectations. Employees are informed about the expected ethical standards, the potential consequences of non-compliance with relevant guidelines and policies, and the available channels for reporting concerns.
The ELT is considered an at-risk function, and Global Risk & Compliance conducts annual in-person training with its members in connection with the BoD meeting, where detailed risks are discussed.
Following a recorded conflict of interest incident in China, Ambu conducted a targeted screening to identify specific functions at risk. This included employees from Finance, Operations, Supply Chain, Quality & Assurance, and Procurement.
All identified employees received specialized training on conflict of interest during the current financial year, with 100% of all functions at risk of corruption and bribery receiving related training.
Outside of the procedures described in this chapter, we do not report any new actions undertaken during this financial year, as existing measures to mitigate risks of corruption, bribery, and misconduct were already in place prior to CSRD and continue to be maintained based on business necessity.

In Ambu, we have implemented our Global Procurement Policy, which sets the direction for our global procurement activities. The policy provides clear guidelines aimed at minimizing the impacts of disruptions to our supply chains through:
Social and environmental criteria are considered in our Responsible Supplier Program. This is done through a risk profiling assessment for each supplier in scope. The risk profiling is based on 7 parameters:
After risk profiling, the suppliers are divided into high-risk suppliers, medium-risk suppliers, and low-risk suppliers. If the outcome of risk profiling is medium risk or high risk, a supplier improvement plan must be initiated. Our suppliers must go through the sustainability due diligence process to assess potential sustainability risks associated with the suppliers, to identify potential needs for improvements, and to verify potential improvement actions that have been completed. The process could consist of a supplier sustainability questionnaire, supplier improvement plan, and supplier visits. If the supplier is identified as a low risk profile; if they can be approved based on the supplier due diligence questionnaire; if the supplier implementation of the supplier improvement plan can be verified; and if the supplier can be approved based on supplier visit, the supplier will be approved as sustainable.
All suppliers in scope are monitored on an ongoing basis. Periodical audits will be carried out of a selected group of suppliers. Depending on the result of risk profiling, the supplier must be reassessed every 2 or 3 years, depending on their risk levels.
Ambu does not specifically address SMEs in our policies. This is something we aim to revisit in the next financial year.

The Hotline Committee Secretariat consists of a Global Risk & Compliance team, that reports to the CFO and AC. The investigators are separate from the chain of management involved in the matter. The reporting process for investigation outcomes or accusations aligns with the governance structure outlined in our management responsibilities. Read more about our investigation procedure, reporting grievances, protection of whistleblowers, governance and proceses for reporting corruption and bribery under Speak Up - Integrity Line, p. 47. Also, read more about our Anti-Retaliation Policy, Ambu's policies, p. 74 .
Policies are communicated to all internal stake holders (employees), and external stakeholders (business partners, suppliers, etc.) either via corporate intranet, Global Risk & Compliance campaigns, or via on-site trainings conducted by the Global Risk & Compliance.
As a member of the UN Global Compact, we have access to training in ethical trade practices and provide internal training during meetings. While no mandatory programs were in place last financial year, we ensure that members of our administrative, management, and supervisory bodies receive regular training on ethics, compliance, and governance.
Locally, in our South sales territory (including Italy and Spain), we have conducted anti-corruption and bribery training for both business partners
and our internal salesforce. In China, Ambu addressed a conflict of interest case by delivering targeted training to all relevant teams, with a specific focus on organizations operating within the region. The employee in question was terminated. We conduct training on corruption and bribery regularly with our own employees and business partners. These actions occur based on location, with primary focus on those locations with higher risk of corruption and bribery (such as Italy, Spain, and China). We do not support political parties, lobbying, or any political activity, reflecting our commitment to ethical business practices and neutrality, as outlined in our Codes of Conduct.

The average payment period within contractual terms is calculated by comparing actual payment dates against Ambu's standard payment terms. This metric is based on invoice data from all Ambu legal entities, with the exception of China and Malaysia, which operate under distinct supplier agreements and payment terms; neither reported fines for late payments during the reporting period. A negative value indicates payments made after the defined contractual term. In addition, Ambu reports the percentage of invoices aligned with its standard payment terms, calculated as the proportion of global invoices that follow the company's defined payment practices.


This sustainability statement includes forward-looking statements based on disclosed assumptions about events that may occur in the future, and possible future actions by Ambu. Actual outcomes are likely to be different since anticipated events frequently do not occur as expected.
This sustainability statement has been prepared in accordance with the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). It outlines the foundation of our approach, including Ambu's DMA, our six most material sustainability topics (ESRS E1, ESRS E5, ESRS S1, ESRS S2, ESRS S4, ESRS G1), and their associated impacts, risks, and opportunities. Subsequent sections detail our performance and initiatives across Environmental, Social, and Governance areas, including our approach, actions, targets, and key metrics for each material topic. Under each metric, we listed an accounting policy to showcase our calculation methodology, and our data sources, including where we used estimates. The sustainability statement was subjected to limited assurance by idenpendent auditors.

The Group's general accounting policies are described below. In connection with this, specific accounting policies have been incorporated into each of the individual notes to the consolidated financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with IFRS accounting standards as adopted by the EU and additional disclosure requirements in the Danish Financial Statements Act.
The financial statements of the parent company, Ambu A/S, are presented separately from the consolidated financial statements and can be found on the last pages of this report. The parent company's separate accounting policies are shown in conjunction with the financial statements of the parent company.
The accounting policies described below have been applied consistently in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in the years presented. The accounting policies have been applied consistently with prior year.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Danish kroner (DKK), which is also Ambu A/S' functional currency. All amounts are rounded to the nearest million, unless otherwise stated. The Annual Report has been prepared in accordance with the historical cost principle, except for derivative financial instruments, which are measured at fair value through profit and loss.
The consolidated financial statements are a result of processing large numbers of transactions and aggregating those transactions into classes according to their nature or function. The transactions are presented in classes of similar items in the consolidated financial statements. If a line item is not individually material, it is aggregated with other items of a similar nature in the consolidated financial statements or in the notes.
Management provides specific disclosure required by IFRS, unless the information is not applicable or considered immaterial to the economic decision-making of the users of these consolidated financial statements.
The preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements requires Management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses, and the accompanying disclosures, including contingent liabilities.
Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results hereof form the basis for making judgments about the reported carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of income and expenses that may not be readily apparent from other sources. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities in future periods.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Changes in estimates may be necessary if there are changes in the circumstances on which an estimate was based, or more detailed information becomes available. Such changes are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised. Management has made significant accounting estimates and judgements in respect of the following areas:
| Key accounting estimates and judgments | Note | Estimate / judgment | Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Measurement of unsettled price adjustments in U.S., revenue | 2.2 | Estimate | |
| Impairment test, goodwill | 3.1 | Judgment | |
| Impairment test, acquired technologies and development projects |
3.2 | Estimate and judgment | |
| Level of potential impact on the consolidated financial statements: Medium High |
A further description of the principal accounting estimates and judgments is provided in the relevant notes.
The Group is exposed to risks associated with climate change. In preparing the consolidated financial statements for 2024/25, Management has considered the impact of climate change. While sustainability is an embedded part of the business, Management does not consider sustainability targets or climate change to have a significant impact on the accounting estimates and judgments, consistent with the assessment that climate change is not expected to have a significant impact on the Group's future cash flows, the carrying amount of non-current assets, or going concern assessment, given the geographical location of the Group's tangible assets, and the sector, and markets in which it conducts its business.
Reference is made to the Sustainability Statement section for EU Taxonomy disclosures on eligible activities pp. 65-66 and pp. 79-81, which complement the assessment of climate-related risks in the financial statement.
Management has assessed that new or amended IFRS Accounting Standards and interpretations issued by the IASB and endorsed by the EU effective for the 2024/25 financial year have not had a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements.
New or amended IFRS Accounting Standards and interpretations issued by the IASB that have not yet become effective are generally not adopted until they become effective and are endorsed by the EU.
The new standards that are not yet effective are not expected to have any material impact on the Group, except for IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, which was issued in April 2024 and will be effective from our financial year 2027/28, impacting presentation and disclosure of the financial statements. Ambu is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard.
The consolidated financial statements comprise Ambu A/S and companies in which Ambu A/S has a controlling interest. Control is deemed to be obtained if Ambu A/S owns more than 50% of the voting rights, or if Ambu A/S in any other way has a controlling interest in the company.
The subsidiaries' financial statements are adjusted, if necessary, to ensure that their accounting policies are consistent with those of the rest of the Group. All intercompany transactions, balances, income, and expenses are fully eliminated on consolidation except for currency translations of intercompany balances, which are recognized as financial items.
A functional currency is determined for each company in the Ambu Group. The functional currency is the currency used in the primary economic environment in which the individual subsidiary operates.
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency using the exchange rate applicable at the transaction date. Foreign exchange gains and losses in connection with the settlement of these transactions and the translation of monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies at the exchange rates applicable at the balance sheet date are recognized in the income statement under net financials.
Receivables, payables, and other monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate applicable at the balance sheet date. The difference between the exchange rate applicable at the balance sheet date and the exchange rate applicable at the date on which the receivable or payable occurred or the exchange rate stated in the most recent Annual Report is recognized in the income statement under net financials.
The financial statements of subsidiaries with a functional currency other than Danish kroner (DKK) are translated to DKK at the exchange rates for balance sheet items applicable at the balance sheet date and at average exchange rates as far as income statement items are concerned. Exchange rate differences arising from the translation of the net assets of such subsidiaries at the beginning of the year using the exchange rates applicable at the balance sheet date and the translation of income statement items from the exchange rates applicable at the transaction date to the exchange rates applicable at the balance sheet date are recognized in other comprehensive income and presented as a separate reserve for foreign currency translation adjustments under equity.
Income and expenses are recognized according to the accruals concept. The income statement is presented by functions where the respective cost impacts the function to which the cost is deemed to relate. The Group's functions are divided into production, sales and distribution, development, and management and administrative costs.
Production costs comprise costs incurred in generating the revenue for the year. Production costs include direct and indirect costs for raw materials and consumables, freight costs incurred in connection with the purchase of commodities, etc., production wages and salaries for support functions, and factory management, as well as depreciation and impairment of plant and depreciation of leases.
Selling and distribution costs comprise costs for sales staff, advertising and exhibitions, depreciation, impairment, and operation of central warehouses, as well as all costs relating to the transport of goods from the Group's factories to the customers.
Research and development costs comprise salaries and costs which, directly or indirectly, can be attributed to product improvements and the development of new products which do not meet the criteria for capitalization of an internally generated development project. In addition, the amortization and impairment of capitalised development costs and rights and acquired technologies are recognized.
Administrative costs comprise expenses incurred for management and administration, including expenses for the administrative staff, office premises, office expenses, and IT, as well as amortization and impairment, and depreciation of leases.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in bank, alternating between positive and negative balances, and short-term deposits with a maturity of less than three months.
Prepayments comprise various payments mainly related to IT licences, utilities, and insurance. Amortization of prepayments are recognized in the income statement over the period of time the prepayments cover.
The cash flow statement has been prepared on the basis of the indirect method and shows the Group's cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities for the year.
Cash flows from operating activities are presented as the net profit adjusted for non-cash operating items, working capital changes, as well as financial income received, and financial expenses, and net income taxes paid.
Cash flows from investing activities comprise payments in connection with acquisition of subsidiaries, activities, and fixed and intangible asset investments, and proceeds from the sale of property, plant, and equipment. In the parent financial statements, investing activities also include receipt of dividends from subsidiaries.
Leases are considered to be non-cash transactions. Cash flows relating to assets held under leases are recognized as payment of interest and repayment of debt. Cash flows from financing activities comprise changes in the size or composition of share capital and costs incidental thereto, as well as the arrangement of loans, the repayment of interest-bearing debt, payment of dividend to the Group's shareholders, and the purchase and sale of treasury shares.
Cash flows denominated in currencies other than Danish kroner (DKK) are translated using average exchange rates, unless such rates deviate materially from the exchange rates applicable on the transaction date.
With securities listed on a regulated market within the EU, Ambu is required to prepare the Annual Report using a combination of the HTML format and to tag the primary consolidated financial statements using iXBRL (Inline eXtensible Business Reporting Language).
The Group's iXBRL tags have been prepared in accordance with the ESEF taxonomy, which is included in the ESEF regulation and developed based on the IFRS taxonomy, published by the IFRS Foundation.
The line items in the consolidated financial statements are tagged to elements in the ESEF taxonomy. For financial line items that are not directly defined in the ESEF taxonomy, an extension to the taxonomy has been created. Extensions are anchored to elements in the ESEF taxonomy, except for extensions that are subtotals.
The Annual Report submitted to the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority (the Officially Appointed Mechanism) is included in the zip file AMBU-2025-09-30-en.zip.

Ambu is engaged in a single business activity of medical technology solutions for the global market, and the Group is seen as one operating segment. Ambu's business consists of research and development of new solutions, which are then manufactured, marketed, and sold. Except for the sales of the various solutions, all of these functional activities take place and are managed globally on a highly integrated basis. These individual functional areas are not managed separately.
The Executive Management, established and chaired by the CEO, is the vehicle through which the CEO exercises the authority delegated to her from the Board of Directors, for the management, development, and performance of Ambu as a whole. The Executive Management is considered to be Ambu's Chief Operating Decision Making body, as defined by IFRS 8.
The Group operates in three geographical regions: North America, Europe, and Rest of World. The geographical distribution of revenue is based on the country in which the goods are delivered. See note 2.2 for disclosure of revenue by geography and countries that individually represent more than 10% of the Group's revenue.
The majority of the Group's total intangible and tangible assets are located in Denmark, as the parent company owns the Group's intellectual property rights. Denmark accounts for DKK 1,887m (DKK 1,828m) of the amounts in Europe presented below. Deployed assets in North America and Rest of World primarily relate to the Group's production facilities.
The management monitors goodwill as a whole, and goodwill is thus not allocated to geographical areas.

Consolidated financial statements
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized in the income statement when all performance obligations have been fulfilled at the point in time where risk is transferred. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the agreed consideration, exclusive of VAT and taxes collected on behalf of a third party. At the time of recognition of revenue, a number of price adjustments are also estimated. These are recognized as a reduction to revenue.
The most significant price adjustments stem from sales generated through dealers in the U.S. The dealer contracts contain chargebacks related to contractual arrangements between Ambu and the dealers whereby products are sold to the end-customers at contract prices lower than the list prices originally charged to the dealers. This requires monitoring of sales to individual dealers at the product level. In addition, the sales contracts also contain volume and product-specific rebates, as well as other types of rebates.
The Group's primary performance obligation is the sale and delivery of medical technology solutions to customers. The performance obligation is fulfilled when the risk of the goods is passed to the customer, which most often occurs at a prior agreed delivery address. Due to the Group's focus on disposable devices, the Group is not subject to any material guarantee obligations.
The Group has no open sales orders expected to be delivered more than one year from the balance sheet date, and therefore, no performance obligations have been disclosed in accordance with IFRS 15 par 121.
2 The Group's domicile country, Denmark, is included in Europe at DKK 58m (DKK 58m).
The Group's customers have payment terms that reflect the market in which the sale takes place. For the majority of sales, payment terms are 15-60 days. Historically, the Group has not experienced any major losses on trade receivables. See note 3.6 on trade receivables.
The primary unsettled price adjustments relate to chargebacks stemming from sales to dealers in the U.S., which also constitutes the material accounting estimate impacting revenue.
Chargebacks are offset against revenue and trade receivables. Chargebacks in the U.S. market are subject to estimation uncertainty, as the actual price adjustment is not determined until the dealers sell the products to the end-customers (hospitals, clinics, etc.). Chargebacks are the difference between the prices agreed with the end-customers and the list prices originally charged to the dealers. The price adjustments are estimated using a combination of factors, such as historical experience from actual received claims, contract terms, and the value of claims received, but not yet processed.
The chargebacks are estimated at the time the related sales are recorded. These estimates of unsettled chargebacks are considered a key accounting estimate as not all conditions are known at the time of the sale, for example information about which end-customer will purchase the products from the dealer and at which price. The accruals are calculated on the basis of a percentage of sales for each product, as defined by the contracts with the various dealers.
Unsettled price adjustments recognized in the balance sheet amount to DKK 115m (DKK 72m) as of 30 September 2025.

For a description of accounting policies, reference is made to notes 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3.

The majority of Ambu's sales are invoiced in USD, EUR, and GBP. The majority of Ambu's production costs and OPEX are in DKK, USD, EUR, MYR, MXN, and CNY. All assets and liabilities in the subsidiaries' balance sheets are denominated in foreign currency. As a consequence, fluctuations in these exchange rates against DKK might impact Ambu's financial position and results. The most important exchange rates in relation to risk exposure are USD, MYR, MXN, CNY, and GBP (collectively referred to as 'main currencies'). Furthermore, EUR is a currency with large exposure, but the risk is deemed limited due to DKK being pegged to EUR.
The following table shows the impact on the Group's net profit and other comprehensive income in the event of a 10% fluctuation in the main currencies relative to the recognized financial instruments. The fluctuation of 10% constitutes the management's assessment of a realistic exchange rate development within the main currencies. The financial instruments comprised by the sensitivity analysis include trade receivables, cash, payables, trade payables, and intercompany balances. The sensitivity analysis does not take any translation effect from functional currency to presentation currency into consideration.

In 2024/25, no special items are recognized.
In 2023/24, special items represented a net expense of DKK 334m, relating to an impairment within gastroenterology (GI). A strategic review was performed across the GI endoscopy business, resulting in revised assumptions, based on the longer time required to penetrate this market.
Impairment tests were carried out for each GI technology. 'Colonoscopy' and 'Duodenoscopy' were written down to their recoverable amounts, and 'Cholangio' was fully written down, due to project plans being put on hold as a consequence of the strategic review, resulting in total impairment losses of DKK 327m.
Furthermore, related assets were revaluated, resulting in excess production equipment and excess inventories written down by, respectively, DKK 5m and DKK 3m.
If special items had been recognized in operating profit (EBIT) before special items, the impact would have been allocated to the following functions:
| (DKKm) | 2024/25 | 2023/24 |
|---|---|---|
| Production costs | - | 8 |
| Development costs | - | 326 |
| Total special items | - | 334 |
Special items comprise costs or income that cannot be attributed directly to the Group's ordinary activities and are of a non-recurring of nature, e.g., strategic re-evaluation. Such costs include the cost related to significant restructuring of the cost base and processes, as well as restructuring costs related to resignation of employees. Further special items include redundancy costs' related to the Group's Management, impairment of assets, and remeasurement of technology debt.
These items are presented separately to facilitate the comparability of the income statement and to provide a better picture of the operating results.
Ambu strives to meet the standard of being a good corporate citizen in all countries in which we operate.
Ambu develops, manufactures, and sells solutions to hospitals and rescue services all over the world through its own companies or in collaboration with third parties. This naturally leads to cross-border transactions. In order to counter the inherent tax risk associated with being a multinational company, Ambu follows the OECD's transfer pricing principles and general guidelines. Even though Ambu operates in OECD member countries, a tax risk still exists given the fact that applicable principles and guidelines are, to some extent, subject to interpretation by the member countries, and that applicable case law is not always clear and changes over time.
Ambu utilizes a straightforward transfer pricing system that adheres to the principal structure. In this arrangement, the parent company earns residual profits, due to its ownership of intangible assets, and pays corporate income tax in the countries where it conducts business.
Our work with income taxes is governed by the Tax Policy, approved by the Board of Directors. Ambu's policy is to have a low tax risk appetite and to refrain from having business in tax havens or low tax jurisdictions for the purpose of conducting tax optimization. Ambu does not have activities in tax havens, as defined according to the EU list of non-cooperative jurisdictions for tax purposes.
In some jurisdictions where we operate, tax incentives are offered to all market participants. Our tax approach does not prevent us from making use of such incentives, insofar as our activities are business driven and not motivated by tax considerations. Tax incentives utilized by Ambu mainly relate to R&D activities. Most of the current tax incentives relate to R&D credit relief/uplift in Denmark, entailing a R&D uplift and additionally a 116% depreciation of new equipment rolled forward. In the U.S., the tax incentives received relate to R&D tax credit.
To counter any future tax disputes and disagreements with the tax authorities, the Management makes estimates and assessments of the Group's tax exposure and, on the basis thereof, makes a provision for uncertain tax positions. Even though the Management considers this provision to be sufficient, future liabilities may deviate from this.

Consolidated financial statements
The legislation implementing the OECD's proposals for a global minimum corporate tax rate (Pillar Two) was enacted into Danish law end of 2023, with effect from 2024. Based on the financial strategic planning, we expect Ambu to be subject to this legislation as from 1 October 2026 and onwards.
The Group has performed a high-level assessment of the Group's potential exposure to Pillar Two income taxes for periods from 1 October 2026.
The assessments of the potential exposure to Pillar Two income taxes are based on the most recent tax filings and financial statements for the entities in the Group. Based on the assessments, the Pillar Two effective tax rates in most of the jurisdictions in which the Group operates are above 15% and the transitional safe harbour relief is expected to apply. On this basis, the Group does not expect a material exposure to Pillar Two income taxes in any jurisdiction.
The tax for the year, which consists of current tax and changes in deferred tax, is recognized in the income statement, with the portion attributable to the profit for the year; and in other comprehensive income with the portion attributable to amounts recognized directly in other comprehensive income; and in equity with the portion attributable to amounts recognized directly in equity. The tax effect of share-based payment is included in tax on the profit for the year with the portion attributable to the Group's deductible share of the cost from the Black-Scholes or other applied valuation model, and the remaining tax effect is included in equity. Tax is provided on the basis of the tax rules and tax rates applicable in the individual countries.

On recognizing tax loss carry-forwards in Denmark, the Management has assessed whether convincing evidence was present, as the Group has a history of recent losses in Denmark, due to high investment levels, lower earnings, and tax deductibility of employees' share-based payments.
Ambu A/S have had positive taxable income in Denmark in 2023/24 and 2024/25.
Tax loss carry-forwards in Denmark totaling DKK 358m (DKK 395m) were recognized at the end of the year. The tax loss carry-forwards are recognized on the basis of budgets, and strategy plans for the individual activities approved by the Management. Estimates and assessments of future taxable income are thus consistent with the basis for the impairment tests.
In Germany, unrecognized tax assets amounted to DKK 29m (DKK 30m).
In brief Strategy Performance Governance Sustainability Financial statements
Deferred tax is measured under the balance-sheet liability method on the basis of all temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax base of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax is not recognized on temporary differences resulting from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax assets, including the tax base of tax loss carry-forwards, are recognized under other non-current assets at the expected usable value, either as a set-off against tax on future income or as a set-off against deferred tax liabilities in the same legal tax entity.
Adjustment is made of deferred tax in relation to eliminations made as regards unrealized intercompany profits and losses.
The value of deductible temporary differences is recognized to the extent that the Management, on the basis of budgets, business plans, etc., is able to render probable that the value can be offset against temporary deferred tax liabilities or against future taxable income. Tax losses are recognized to the extent that the Management can render probable that these can be offset against future taxable income.
Deferred tax is calculated on share-based payments to the extent that the individual scheme is deductible for the Group. Deferred tax is calculated as the difference between the value of the share-based payment at the time of allocation and the fair value, whichever is higher. Deferred tax assets from share-based payment schemes are recognized proportionately over the vesting period. The tax asset is recognized in the income statement at a value corresponding to the tax deduction for the scheme-related costs recognized in the income statement. Any additional values are recognized directly in equity.
Deferred tax is measured on the basis of the taxation rules and tax rates, which, pursuant to the legislation in force at the balance sheet date, will apply in the individual countries at the time when the deferred tax is expected to become payable as current tax. Changes in deferred tax resulting from changes in tax rates are recognized in the income statement.

Earnings per share are presented as both earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. Earnings per share are calculated as the net profit for the year divided by the average number of outstanding shares. Diluted earnings per share are calculated as the net profit for the year divided by the sum of the average number of outstanding shares, including the dilutive effect of outstanding share-based payment settled in shares that are 'in the money'. The dilutive effect of share-based payment that is 'in the money' is calculated as the difference between the number of shares that could be acquired at fair value for the proceeds from the exercise of the share-based payment, offset against the share of the granted fair value of the share-based payment not yet recognized.

The carrying amount of goodwill at DKK 1,497m (DKK 1,527m) stems primarily from the business combinations of Invendo Medical GmbH in 2017 and King Systems Corp. in 2013.
As described in section 2.1, the Ambu Group is managed as one single unit, for which reason the Management monitors goodwill at Group level. Consequently, the impairment test is based on the Group's market value.
The market value of Ambu A/S's shares is based on the quoted price of DKK 92.60 per share on Nasdaq Copenhagen at 30 September 2025 (DKK 131.15 per share at 30 September 2024). Based on this market value approximation, Ambu's equity value is DKK 24.7bn (DKK 34.9bn), which leaves DKK 18.7bn (DKK 29.3bn) in headroom to the carrying amount of equity. Therefore, the Management has concluded that the net selling price, calculated on the basis of a level 1 fair value measurement, proves that there is no indication of impairment of goodwill.
On recognition, goodwill represents the excess cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquired company. Subsequently, goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortized.
At the time of acquisition, goodwill is attributed to the cash-generating units which are expected to benefit from the business combination; however, not to a level lower than the segment level and the level at which goodwill is monitored as part of the internal financial management. The Management has identified one operating segment as being the whole Group to which goodwill is allocated.
The carrying amount of goodwill is tested for impairment together with the other non-current assets of the cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated (being the whole Group) and is impaired to the recoverable amount in the income statement if the carrying amount is higher. Impairment of goodwill is recognized as a separate item in the income statement. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment, the first time being by the end of the year of recognition in connection with a business combination.
The impairment test of goodwill is based on the quoted price on Nasdaq Copenhagen at the balance sheet date. Therefore the impairment test is taking base in level 1 in accordance with the fair value hierarchy.
Impairment of goodwill is not reversed. Impairment of other assets is reversed in so far as the assumptions and estimates on the basis of which the impairment is made have been changed. Impairments are only reversed in so far as the new carrying amount of the asset does not exceed the carrying amount of the asset after amortization, had the asset not been impaired.

Consolidated financial statements
Acquired technologies, trademarks, and customer relations, primarily comprising identified technologies, are recognized at fair value at the time of acquisition in connection with a business combination. Any other intangible asset is recognized at cost.
Development and IT projects are recognized as intangible assets if they meet certain criteria. These projects must be clearly defined and identifiable, with proven technical feasibility and sufficient resources available for completion. Additionally, there should be a potential market or scope for the project, and the Group must intend to produce, market, or use the project. The directly attributable cost should be reliably measurable, and there must be certainty that future earnings or the net selling price will cover all costs.
Intangible assets, excl. goodwill, are amortized according to the straight-line method over the expected useful lifetime of the individual asset. The residual value for all intangible assets is assessed as zero. The amortization of the intangible asset commences upon completion of the project or when the asset is ready for use. The basis of amortization is reduced by impairment losses, if any. The useful life of the asset may subsequently be changed if the original assumptions on which the useful life and any residual value are based have changed significantly.
The expected useful lifetimes of intangible assets are as follows:
| Acquired technologies | 5-15 years |
|---|---|
| Completed development projects | 5-10 years |
| Distribution rights, patents, and licenses, etc. | 5-20 years |
| IT software projects | 3-5 years |
Result of impairment testing of the GI technologies
The impairment test of the GI technologies is covering the assets categories 'Acquired technologies, trademarks and cust. relations', 'Completed development projects' and 'Development projects and other assets in progress'. The impairment test of the GI technologies covers approximately a third of the total other intangible assets for the group.
In accordance with the group accounting policy for impairment testing of other intangible assets, both fair value and value in use were evaluated as part of the 2024/25 impairment test of the GI technologies. The assessment confirmed that the fair value represents the recoverable amount of the assets. The impairment test concluded that there are no indications for further impairment, nor any basis for reversing the impairment loss recognized in 2023/24.
In 2023/24, an impairment loss of DKK 327m on Acquired technologies and completed development projects was recognised, following the strategic review across our GI endoscopy business. The impairment loss was charged to special items, as described in note 2.6.
Result of impairment testing of other intangible assets
The impairment test of other intangible assets is covering the remaining part of 'Development projects and other assets in progress' in scope for annual impairment testing.
The impairment tests of other intangible assets, 2024/25, did not result in recognition of impairment losses (2023/24: no impairment losses).
No sensitivity analysis has been made for the impairment test of other intangible assets as the impairment test shows a clear result of no need for recognition of impairment losses.
Consolidated financial statements
The sensitivity analysis assesses the impact of changes in key assumptions of the result of the impairment test.
The 'relief from royalty' method estimates the discounted value of an intangible asset determined by the expected royalty payments to a third party to be saved by owning the respective asset instead of licensing the respective asset. When applying the 'relief from royalty' method in the impairment test for the GI technologies, the fair value is measured over the useful lifetime of the individual assets and by applying the main key assumptions as revenue, royalty rate, and pre-tax discount rate.
Useful lifetime for GI technologies is 15 years from FDA approval of the first product generation, also corresponding to the budgeted period used in the impairment test.
The sensitivity shown for revenue is the amount of decrease in headroom, when reducing the expected revenue in all budgeted years by 5 percentage points, everything else kept equal.
The sensitivity shown for royalty rate is the amount of decrease in headroom, when reducing the applied royalty rate by 5 percentage points, everything else kept equal.
The sensitivity shown for pre-tax discount rate is the amount of decrease in headroom, when increasing the applied pre-tax discount rate by 1 percentage point, everything else kept equal.
| Key assumptions | Description |
|---|---|
| Revenue (CAGR) |
• Revenue in the budgeted period is based on a combination of expected quantities sold and the average selling price, together with a 15 years of survival curve for each technology, commencing upon first FDA approval |
| Royalty rate | • Based on an expected royalty rate paid to an independent third party to license the individual technology |
| Discounted rates (net of tax) |
• Based on 20-year government bonds • Equity risk premium: 8.3% (8.1%) • Premium added to adjust for variability and associated risks of the in-market and pipeline products |

At each reporting date, the Management performs an assessment of whether internal or external indications of impairment of the identified intangible assets exist. If there is any indication of impairment, an impairment test is carried out. If an indication of impairment exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined, i.e. the higher of the fair value of the asset, less anticipated costs of disposal and its value-in-use. For assets that are either fully or partially impaired, both their fair value and value-in-use are assessed to verify whether the impairment remains and to determine if further impairment, or a reversal of previously recorded impairment losses, is necessary.
Reversals of previously recognized impairment losses are only recorded when there is a change in the assumptions for the original impairment. This includes changes in expected future cash flows or the discount rate, in the case of value-in-use, or an increase in fair value, reflecting a genuine improvement of the asset's recoverable amount, excluding changes solely due to the passage of time.
Development projects in progress, either acquired or internally generated, are tested for impairment minimum on an annual basis and if there is any indication of impairment. For completed development projects, it is continuously assessed whether there is any indication of impairment.
Impairment tests are either carried out by calculating the value in use, by using a discounted cashflow model, or by calculating the fair value, depending on the type of intangible asset. If the initial impairment test shows a calculated amount lower than the carrying value of the asset, both fair value and value in use are calculated, and an impairment loss is recognized at the higher amount of either fair value or value in use if both calculated values are below the carrying amount of the asset. The impairment assessment, and the possible following impairment test, is carried out per individual asset.
The Management assess the risk of impairment of the Ambu Group's intangible assets. This requires judgment in relation to the underlying assumptions of the future expected cash flows, of the individual assets, to be applied in the Group's impairment model. An impairment test is performed at least once a year for development projects in progress. The impairment test is for each development project in progress determined on the basis of certain key assumptions, i.e. payback time, net present value, and actual development costs realised compared to the business case.
For acquired and completed development projects related to the GI technologies, the impairment test is conducted by use of the 'relief from royalty' method as valuation model for determining the fair value. This is consistent with the valuation method applied when the technologies were acquired.
The fair value hierarchy, by use of the 'relief from royalty' method is level 3, as unobservable inputs are used to measure the fair value to the extent that relevant observable inputs are not available, which include any information about market participant assumptions that is reasonably available.
The recoverable amount of each identified intangible asset related to the GI technologies is determined on the basis of certain key assumptions, i.e. expected revenue, royalty rate, and discount rate, etc. The cash flow projections for the individual assets, applied in the short-, mid-, and long-term perspective, reflects Management's best estimate, including Group-strategic initiatives, local initiatives, past experience, and external sources of information, where possible and relevant for the individual assets.

Land and buildings, plant and machinery, and other plant, fixtures and fittings, tools and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost comprises the acquisition price and any costs directly attributable to the acquisition until the date when the asset is ready for use. The cost of a total asset is divided into separate elements which are depreciated individually when the useful lives of the individual elements differ.
The basis of depreciation is calculated in consideration of the residual value of the asset and is reduced by impairment losses, if any. The residual value is fixed at the date of acquisition and is subject to annual review. When the residual value exceeds the carrying amount of the asset, depreciation will no longer take place. In connection with changes in the depreciation period or the residual value, the effect of depreciation is recognized in future as a change in the accounting estimate.
The carrying amount of property, plant, and equipment is assessed on an annual basis to establish whether there is any indication of impairment. When such indication exists, an impairment test is performed. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the recoverable amount of the asset.
Property, plant, and equipment are depreciated according to the straight-line method over the expected useful lives of the assets/components, as follows:
| Buildings | 10-40 years |
|---|---|
| Building installations | 10 years |
| Plant and machinery | 2-10 years |
| Other fixtures and equipment | 3-5 years |
Land is not depreciated.
Depreciation is recognized in the income statement under production costs, selling, and distribution costs, development costs, or management and administrative expenses, as appropriate. See note 2.4.

1 Right-of-use assets in progress relate to the rebuild of the leased office premises in Ballerup, Denmark. The rebuild is financed through a construction loan facility, which will be converted into a lease agreement upon completion, currently expected in October 2027.
'Right-of-use assets' refer to a contract or part of a contract that conveys the lessee's right to use an asset for a period of time. At the commencement date, the Group recognizes a lease liability and a corresponding right-of-use asset at the same amount. A right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which equals the initial lease liability and initial direct costs, less any lease incentives received. The Group has applied the practical expedient option allowed under IFRS by using a portfolio approach for the recognition of lease contracts related to assets of the same nature and with similar lease terms.
The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the earlier of the lease term or the useful life of the asset. The impairment testing of right-of-use assets follows the same principles as those applied for property, plant, and equipment, cf. note 3.3. The cost price is adjusted for remeasurement of the lease liability. The Group has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments related to such leases are recognized in the income statement as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
For right-of-use assets, cost is calculated at the lower of the fair value of the assets and the present value of the future minimum lease payments. For calculating the present value, the internal rate of interest of the lease is used as the discount rate. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for remeasurement of the lease liability.
Right-of-use assets in progress are measured at cost in line with accounting policy for property, plant, and machinery, cf. note 3.3, where the Group has control of the underlying assets during the rebuilding phases.

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost calculated according to the FIFO principle and net realizable value. The net realizable value is calculated as the selling price less costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. The cost of goods for resale, as well as raw materials and consumables, comprises the acquisition price plus delivery costs.
The cost of manufactured goods comprises the cost of raw materials, consumables, direct labour costs, and production overheads in the form of logistics and planning costs, production management, as well as expenses for production facilities and equipment, etc.

Ambu monitors trade receivables on a daily basis by means of due date reports, changes in payment pattern trends, and ordinary follow-up routines to identify any indications that the initial expectations for credit losses on the individual receivables should be adjusted. This risk assessment is targeted at private customers.
Public-sector customers are an important part of the company's receivables, and it is believed that no debtor risks are associated with public-sector customers. In addition to a specific assessment for expected credit losses on private customers, the Management estimates general macro risks on the portfolio of trade receivables. The Group does not use factoring in connection with the collection of debts.
Trade receivables are measured at amortized cost less write-down for lifetime expected credit losses. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables are grouped according to shared credit risk characteristics and days overdue. Furthermore, an allowance for lifetime credit losses for trade receivables is recognized on initial recognition.

Ambu is exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange and interest rates. Furthermore, Ambu is exposed to liquidity and financing risks. These risks are managed and monitored centrally by the parent company in accordance with the Finance Policy approved by the Board of Directors. Ambu does not undertake any active speculation in financial risks.
Ambu is, as a global business, exposed to tariffs where applicable to Ambu's business sector and its specific products and components. Tariffs are partly mitigated by the utilization of Ambu's global footprint with the flexibility to move some production between the existing production sites in Asia, the U.S., and Mexico.
Additionally, the Group is exposed to changing raw materials prices incl. resin, silver and copper, and freight rates. Ambu's Global Procurement and Global Supply Chain function, respectively, monitor these risks and work to mitigate them to an acceptable level. The Management assesses these risks to be manageable as they represent a small value of the total cost, despite substantial volatility in recent years.
The effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on the Group's financial targets and financial position is monitored on an ongoing basis. Prior years' analyses and ongoing quantification of short term exposure using reckoned statistical models have indicated an acceptable level of currency risk to Ambu's cash flow and financial targets. On this background, the Company continues to rely on natural hedging given the current mix of transactions in different foreign exchange rates. See note 2.5 for further information about foreign currency exposure and the 'Outlook for 2025/26' section in the Management's commentary section.
Ambu's policy is to hedge material interest rate risk to mitigate fluctuating interest payments, e.g., related to the Group's committed credit facilities with a floating interest rate where the exposure is linked to IBOR/SOFR reference rates. At year end, Ambu had no utilization of committed credit facilities and therefore also no hedge in place.
Financing and sufficient liquidity are fundamental to Ambu's continued operation and growth. Liquidity is managed centrally from the parent company. The objective of the cash management is to ensure that adequate and flexible cash resources are being maintained, thus enabling Ambu to honor its current obligations, such as repaying loans and settling other liabilities.
To improve the relationship with Ambu's suppliers and minimize the financing cost in the value chain, Ambu offers a SCF program on voluntary basis. When participating in this program, the supplier has the option to receive early payment from the bank based on the invoices approved by Ambu through a factoring arrangement between the supplier and the bank, where the outstanding invoices are transferred to the bank without recourse. Ambu's liability in relation to the SCF program is the outstanding invoices, which are recognized and presented as trade payables until paid upon maturity. The trade payables covered by the SCF program arise in the ordinary course of business from the supply of goods and services and the payment terms of the suppliers that participate in the SCF program are not significantly extended compared to trade payables not part of the SCF program. At the end of 2024/25, trade payables covered by the program amounted to DKK 16m (DKK 48m).
To cover the Group's liquidity needs, Ambu has committed credit facilities for a total of DKK 1,000m (DKK 1,800m). The facilities carry floating interest rates in the range of 0.53-1.13% (0.58-2.98%), depending on the Group's gearing and ESG performance. At year end, there was no utilization of the facilities. The credit facilities expire on 30 April 2028 and are subject to standard financial covenants.
The cash resources, that consist of cash at bank, committed and uncommitted unutilized credit facilities in banks, amount to DKK 2bn (DKK 2.5bn). Considering committed facilities and cash at bank only, the cash resource was DKK 1.9bn (DKK 2.4bn). The reduction from last year is a result of reduced committed facilities, reflecting Ambu's current funding need.
Cash-pool solutions are applied, and intercompany loans have been granted by Ambu A/S to relevant subsidiaries. The liquidity risk is mitigated by a consistent focus on budgeted and realized cash flow.
Ambu is mainly exposed to credit risks in respect of trade receivables. The maximum credit risk corresponds to the carrying amount. For many years, Ambu has not realized any significant losses on receivables. Reference is made to note 3.6.
Counterparty risk for cash and financial instruments is mitigated by Ambu setting cash limits for each institution based on their respective credit rating.
The primary objective of the Group's capital management is to ensure the funding of growth of the Group, while maximizing the return to the shareholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance.
For the purpose of the Group's capital management, capital includes share capital and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the parent.
The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders or issue new shares.

At the end of the financial year, it is assessed whether an instrument has moved between the levels of the fair value hierarchy. There have been no movements between the various levels this year or the year before.
Derivative financial instruments are recognized at fair value based on a valuation report prepared by an external party who valuates the instruments based on discounted cash flows and other inputs based on observable market data.
Debt to credit institutions, etc., is recognized at the date of borrowing at fair value corresponding to the proceeds received, less transaction costs paid. In subsequent periods, the financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the 'effective rate of interest method' so that the difference between the proceeds and the nominal value is recognized under financial expenses in the income statement for the duration of the loan term.
Derivative financial instruments are recognized as from the transaction date and are measured at fair value in the balance sheet. The fair value of derivative financial instruments is calculated on the basis of current market data, as well as accepted valuation methods.
Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are recognized on an ongoing basis in the income statement.
Other liabilities are measured at amortized cost.
Fair value hierarchy is as following:

Provisions at the balance sheet date concern deferred purchase price relating to acquired technology in previous years, onerous contracts, and other items.
Provisions are recognized when the Group, as a result of an event occuring before or on the balance sheet date, has incurred a legal or actual liability, and it is probable that economic benefits will flow from the Group in order to settle the liability. If the effect of the time value of money is significant, provisions are discounted using a pre-tax discount rate. When applying a discount rate, the change in provisions, due to the timing, is recognized as a financial cost.

Fee for non-audit services provided to the Group by EY Godkendt Revisionspartnerselskab, Denmark, amounted to DKK 1.7m (DKK 1.7m), relating mainly to other assurance reports.
The Group's related parties include the company's Board of Directors and Executive Management and members of their families. Related parties furthermore include enterprises in which the aforementioned persons have a significant interest.
During the year, no transactions, except for payment of the Management's remuneration (notes 2.3 and 5.4) and ordinary dividend payments, took place with the Board of Directors, Executive Management, major shareholders, or other related parties.
The Group's incentive-based remuneration to the Executive Management is described in the Remuneration Report 2024/25. Share-based payment is governed by the Remuneration Policy approved by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors does not receive share-based payment.
The total expense in profit or loss for share-based payment was DKK 31m (DKK 26m).
In 2024/25 Ambu established a share-based long-term incentive plan for the Executive Management and key employees selected on the basis of job level, by way of granting PSUs. The financial target weighted into the performance was organic revenue growth for the Group (35%) and Endoscopy Solutions (35%), respectively, and EBIT margin before special items (30%), which was achieved by 53% of maximum potential.
In 2023/24 a PSU program was granted under the same conditions as for 2024/25. The financial target was organic revenue growth (50%) and EBIT margin before special items (50%), which was achieved by 91% of maximum potential.
The fair value per PSU at grant date was DKK 111 (DKK 99). PSU programs vest three years after grant.
Ambu offers all its employees the opportunity to acquire a number of shares based on a fixed percentage of their annual base salary. The number of shares with which an employee participates is matched free of charge after two years (Restricted Stock Units).
The fair value per share at grant date was DKK 109 (DKK 130).
The fair value of Ambu's share-based payment is expensed on an accrual basis. Fair value of equity-based schemes at the time of allocation is calculated according to recognized valuation models or methods. This value is expensed over the service period for each of the respective schemes and is taken to equity. On recognition of the fair value during the service period, account is taken of the number of employees who are expected to obtain a final right to the scheme, including the conditions to which the allocation is subject. This estimate is reassessed at the end of each reporting period so that only the number of rights expected to be vested is recognized. Adjustments relating to previous periods are recognized in the period in which the adjustment is made. The fair value per unit does not change.

The Group uses several financial metrics, which are not defined in IFRS accounting. These Alternative Performance Measures (APMs) are used in the daily management of the Group and in the communication with external stakeholders. The non-IFRS financial measures are defined by Management and therefore may not be comparable with other companies' measures.
The most relevant APMs are: 'Organic growth', 'Special items', 'EBITDA before special items', 'Net working capital', 'Net-interest bearing debt', and 'Free cash flow before acquisitions of enterprises and technology'.
Below is a reconciliation of the different APMs used in the Annual Report. Key figure and ratio definitions are found in note 5.10.

Parent company
The parent company, Ambu A/S, operates as the principal of the Ambu Group and is headquartered in Denmark. All inventories are traded from Ambu's production facilities through the parent company to the sales subsidiaries as well as external customers.
The parent company owns the Group's intellectual property rights, with most of the Group's intangible assets located in Denmark.
Apart from the sale of MedTech solutions, the parent company maintains and develops Group functions.
Total reported revenue in 2024/25 was DKK 4,656m (DKK 4,415m), while net profit for the year was DKK 476m (DKK 206m). The increase in net profit was mainly related to last year's recognized impairment loss and lower dividends from subsidiaries this year. Ambu A/S received dividends of DKK 39m in 2024/25, compared with DKK 75m in 2023/24.
As of 30 September 2025, equity amounted to DKK 5,185m (DKK 4,785), impacted by profit for the year, offset by paid dividend of DKK 0.38 per share, corresponding to DKK 102m (2023/24: DKK 0).
Free cash flow decreased to DKK 319m (2023/24: DKK 461m), mainly driven by increased investments in development projects and working capital, namely balances with Group companies.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized in the income statement when all performance obligations have been fulfilled, at the point in time when risk is transferred. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the agreed consideration, exclusive of VAT and taxes collected on behalf of a third party. At the time of recognition of revenue, a number of price adjustments are also estimated. These are recognized as a reduction of revenue.
The parent's primary performance obligation is the sale and delivery of medical technology products to customers, both internally in the Group and to external customers. The performance obligation is fulfilled when the risk of the goods is passed to the buyer, which most often occurs at the prior agreed delivery address. Due to the focus on disposable devices, the parent is not subject to any material guarantee obligations.
The parent's customers have payment terms that reflect the market in which the sale takes place. For the majority of sales, payment terms are 15-60 days.
Historically, the parent has not experienced any major losses on trade receivables. See note 3.6 on trade receivables.
The parent company has no open sales orders expected to be delivered more than one year from the balance sheet date, and therefore no performance obligations have been disclosed in accordance with IFRS 15 par 121.

The Group's transfer pricing setup is based on the widely used principal model. In this model, Ambu A/S distributes an arm's length profit to its subsidiaries and any residual profit is repatriated back to Ambu A/S for taxation. The taxable profit is then reduced by deductions from investments made. Furthermore, income tax payable is reduced by Ambu A/S's tax deduction, resulting from the employees' gains from exercised warrants and share options. Such gains are subject to personal tax.

On recognizing tax loss carry-forwards in Denmark, the Management has assessed whether convincing evidence was present, as the Group has a history of recent losses in Denmark, which is due to high investment levels, low residual profit earned in the parent company as a consequence of the arm's length mechanism in the OECD Principal-model, and tax deductibility of employees' share-based payments.
Tax loss carry-forwards in Denmark totaling DKK 358m (DKK 395m) were recognized at the end of the year. The tax loss carry-forwards are recognized on the basis of budgets, and strategy plans for the individual activities approved by the Management. Estimates and assessments of future taxable income are thus consistent with the basis for the impairment tests and the measurement of contingent consideration carried out.

Ambu monitors trade receivables on a daily basis by means of due date reports, changes in payment pattern trends, and ordinary follow-up routines, to identify any indications that the initial expectations for credit losses on the individual receivables should be adjusted. This risk assessment is targeted at all relevant receivables.
In addition, the Management estimates general macro risks on the portfolio of trade receivables. The parent company does not use factoring in connection with the collection of debts.

Copenhagen, 5 November 2025

We have audited the consolidated financial statements and the parent company financial statements of Ambu A/S for the financial year 1 October 2024 – 30 September 2025, pages 134-187, which comprise income statement, statement of comprehensive income, cash flow statement, balance sheet, equity statement and notes, including material accounting policy information, for the Group and the Parent Company. The consolidated financial statements and the parent company financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU and additional requirements of the Danish Financial Statements Act.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements and the parent company financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and the Parent Company at 30 September 2025 and of the results of the Group's and the Parent Company's operations and cash flows for the financial year 1 October 2024 – 30 September 2025 in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU and additional requirements of the Danish Financial Statements Act.
Our opinion is consistent with our long-form audit report to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) and additional requirements applicable in Denmark. Our responsibilities under those standards and requirements are further described in the "Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements and the parent company financial statements" (hereinafter collectively referred to as "the financial statements")
section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
We are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) and the additional ethical requirements applicable in Denmark, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code.
To the best of our knowledge, we have not provided any prohibited non-audit services as described in article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) no. 537/2014.
We were initially appointed as auditor of Ambu A/S on 13 December 2017 for the financial year 2017/18. We have been reappointed annually by resolution of the general meeting for a total consecutive period of eight years up until the financial year 2024/25.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements for the financial year 2024/25. These matters were addressed during our audit of the financial statements as a whole and in forming our opinion thereon. We do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.
We have fulfilled our responsibilities described in the "Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements" section, including in relation to the key audit matters below. Accordingly, our audit included the design and performance of procedures to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the financial statements.
Recognition of revenue in the U.S. due to price adjustment structure In the U.S. market, a significant portion of Ambu's sales flow through dealers (third-party warehouses) who sell the products to public and private hospitals and clinics (the end-customers). Ambu's sales price to the dealer depends on the pricing arrangement Ambu has agreed with the end-customer.
As Ambu's sales to end-customers deviate in amounts and timing from the amounts invoiced to the dealer, Ambu subsequently adjusts the price stated in the preliminary invoice. Price adjustments are recognized on an ongoing basis, and price adjustments which have not been settled at the balance sheet date are recognized as a reduction in trade receivables in the balance sheet.
We focus on this area, as the assessment of non-settled price adjustments to dealers is complex and includes management estimates and judgments.
Reference is made to note 2.2 in the consolidated financial statements.
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
We have identified, tested and assessed key internal controls and related systems which are used to process and calculate price adjustments for dealers.
We assessed and reviewed management's calculation of price adjustments by comparing the assumptions applied with the group's trading policies, the terms of existing contracts, third-party reported data and historical price adjustment levels.
Statements

Further, we assessed the most significant parameters included in the calculation of the non-settled price adjustments as per 30 September 2025 based on historical data, accounting records, external inventory statements and the terms of existing contracts.
The carrying value of acquired GI technologies and subsequently capitalized development costs amount to DKK 538 million on 30 September 2025.
The value of acquired GI technologies was initially determined in connection with the purchase price allocation from the acquisition of Invendo Medical GmbH in October 2017. Subsequently, additional internally generated development costs associated to the acquired GI technologies have been capitalized. In case of indications of impairment, an impairment test is prepared, based on Management's estimates of the recoverable amount based on an assessment of net present value of future cash flows on the basis of strategic revenue plans, long-term growth, royalty rate and discount rate, etc.
Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in determining the recoverable amount, we considered these impairment tests to be a key audit matter.
Reference is made to note 3.2 in the consolidated financial statements.
Our audit procedures included testing the mathematical accuracy of the impairment models applied by Management to calculate the recoverable amount of investments in acquired GI technologies and comparing forecasted profitability to internally approved budgets and long-term strategy.
We evaluated the assumptions and methodologies used in the impairment models, particularly the assumptions relating to the forecasted revenue growth, including comparing with historical growth rates and the royalty rate and discount rate.
Further, we evaluated the sensitivity analysis on the assumptions applied in the impairment models prepared by Management.
Management is responsible for the Management's review.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the Management's review, and we do not express any assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the Management's review and, in doing so, consider whether the Management's review is materially inconsistent with the financial statements, or our knowledge obtained during the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
Moreover, it is our responsibility to consider whether the Management's review provides the information required by relevant law and regulations. This does not include the requirements in paragraph 99a related to the sustainability statement covered by the separate auditor's limited assurance report hereon.
Based on our procedures, we conclude that the Management's review is in accordance with the financial statements and has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of relevant law and regulations. We did not identify any material misstatement of the Management's review.
Management is responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements and parent company financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU and additional requirements of the Danish Financial Statements Act, and for such internal control as Management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, Management is responsible for assessing the Group's and the Parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements unless Management either intends to liquidate the Group or the Parent Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and additional requirements applicable in Denmark will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.
As part of an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and additional requirements applicable in Denmark, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit.
on the Group's and the Parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group and the Parent Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements and the parent company financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter.
As part of our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements and Parent Company Financial Statements of Ambu A/S, we performed procedures to express an opinion on whether the annual report of Ambu A/S for the financial year 1 October 2024 – 30 September 2025 with the file name AMBU-2025-09-30-en.zip is prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815 on the European Single Electronic Format (ESEF Regulation) which includes requirements related to the preparation of the annual report in XHTML format and iXBRL tagging of the Consolidated Financial Statements including notes.
Management is responsible for preparing an annual report that complies with the ESEF Regulation. This responsibility includes:
Our responsibility is to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the annual report is prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the ESEF Regulation based on the evidence we have obtained, and to issue a report that includes our opinion. The nature, timing and extent of procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material departures from the requirements set out in the ESEF Regulation, whether due to fraud or error.
The procedures include:
In our opinion, the annual report of Ambu A/S for the financial year 1 October 2024 – 30 September 2025 with the file name AMBU-2025-09- 30-en.zip is prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the ESEF Regulation.

We have conducted a limited assurance engagement on the sustainability statement of Ambu A/S (the group) included in the Annual Report 2024/25, pages 57-133 (the sustainability statement), for the financial year 1 October 2024 – 30 September 2025 including disclosures incorporated by reference listed on pages 128-130.
Based on the procedures we have performed and the evidence we have obtained, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the sustainability statement is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the Danish Financial Statements Act section 99a, including:
We conducted our limited assurance engagement in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 (Revised), Assurance engagements other than audits or reviews of historical financial information (ISAE 3000 (Revised)) and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark.
The procedures in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature and timing from, and are less in extent than for, a reasonable assurance engagement. Consequently, the level of assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the assurance that would have been obtained had a reasonable assurance engagement been performed.
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our conclusion. Our responsibilities under this standard are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the assurance engagement section of our report.
We are independent of the group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) and the additional ethical requirements applicable in Denmark. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code.
EY Godkendt Revisionspartnerselskab applies International Standard on Quality Management 1, which requires the firm to design, implement and operate a system of quality management including policies or procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
In reporting forward-looking information in accordance with ESRS, management is required to prepare the forward-looking information on the basis of disclosed assumptions about events that may occur in the future and possible future actions by the group. Actual outcomes are
likely to be different since anticipated events frequently do not occur as expected.
Management is responsible for designing and implementing a process to identify the information reported in the sustainability statement in accordance with the ESRS and for disclosing this process in the section The double materiality assessment on pages 64-66 of the sustainability statement. This responsibility includes:
