INTERIM REPORT FOR Q4 2024/25 (UNAUDITED)

Ambu A/S, Baltorpbakken 13, DK-2750 Ballerup Registration no. 63644919

INTERIM REPORT FOR Q4 2024/25 (UNAUDITED)

Solid growth in Q4 enables Ambu to close the financial year within the current guidance range, delivering 13.1% organic growth and a 13.0% EBIT margin. This consistent momentum highlights the resilience and strength of Ambu's business model.

Looking toward next year, Ambu expects 10–13% organic growth, driven by increased overall procedure volume and continued single-use conversion, and an EBIT margin of 12–14%, supported by continued operating leverage, though partially offset by shortterm tariff costs. 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.

"In line with our guidance, we delivered solid financial results, achieving 10.0% organic growth in Q4 and 13.1% for the full year. This performance was fueled by strong momentum in Endoscopy Solutions across all business areas, alongside extraordinary growth in Anesthesia & Patient Monitoring.

With continued profitability improvements, we have achieved a strong turnaround since launching ZOOM IN in November 2022, and I'm incredibly proud of the progress delivered by everyone in Ambu.

As we kicked off our new financial year, we launched our next-era strategy, ZOOM AHEAD, designed to accelerate our growth trajectory and deepen our impact in healthcare. Our long-term aspiration remains clear: to achieve global endoscopy leadership. In a landscape where clinicians face mounting pressure to do more with less, we are committed to helping them treat more patients and improve outcomes, powered by our innovative, efficient, and technologically advanced solutions."

Financial highlights for Q4

  • Revenue increased organically by 10.0% (10.6%) to DKK 1,466m (DKK 1,387m), with reported growth of 5.7% (10.2%). This brings organic growth for the full year to 13.1% (13.8%), with reported growth of 12.0% (12.9%).
  • Endoscopy Solutions increased organically by 12.4% (14.5%). The Respiratory business group posted 8.8% (5.7%) organic growth, positively impacted by continued aScope 5 Broncho adoption, as well as the newly launched video laryngoscopy solution. The Urology, ENT, & GI business group posted 16.0% (24.8%) organic growth, mainly driven by the aScope 4 portfolio, with sustained strong growth momentum for aScope 5 Uretero. Anesthesia & Patient Monitoring increased organically by 6.4% (5.3%), driven by solid volume development.
  • EBIT before special items (b.s.i.) was DKK 147m (DKK 147m), with an EBIT margin b.s.i. of 10.0% (10.6%). EBIT margin for the quarter was negatively impacted by both tariff costs and FX headwind but positively impacted by continued operational leverage from solid organic growth. This brings EBIT for the full year to DKK 784m (DKK 645m), with an EBIT margin b.s.i. of 13.0% (12.0%).
  • Free cash flow (FCF) before acquisitions totaled DKK 130m (DKK 98m). This was impacted by continued elevated inventory levels to mitigate global geopolitical dynamics and support growth, and profitability was impacted by both FX headwind and tariff costs. This brings FCF before acquisitions to DKK 407m (DKK 524m) for the full year.
  • Total distribution of cash of DKK 260m, consisting of a dividend of DKK 110m planned for proposal by the Board of Directors at the annual general meeting, as well as a DKK 150m share buy-back program.

Business highlights for Q4

Revenue split by businesses Q4 2024/25

ENDOSCOPY SOLUTIONS

Ambu's Endoscopy Solutions business continued to be the biggest revenue contributor in Q4 2024/25. It accounted for 61% of the total revenue, with an organic revenue growth of 12.4% (14.5%), in line with the market growth of procedure volumes and single-use conversion. Ambu experienced growth across both business groups in Endoscopy Solutions, mainly driven by continued growth of existing solutions in a high-growth market.

Drivers of the quarter

The global endoscopy market continued to grow in number of procedures as expected, contributing to strong growth in the single-use market through further adoption.

The Urology, ENT, & GI business group posted 16.0% organic revenue growth. Ambu's single-use market share continued to grow, primarily driven by continued penetration of our aScope™ 4 portfolio. Urology continued strong growth momentum, while ENT grew at a lower pace. As expected, revenue from newly launched solutions was limited, reflecting the typical length of hospitals' sales processes. Growth in GI was mainly driven by Ambu's two gastroscopy solutions, Ambu® aScope Gastro and Ambu® aScope Gastro Large, successfully targeting specific needs for bleed management. Although GI remains a smaller part of Ambu's 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 8.8% organic revenue growth. The continued growth acceleration was driven by both Ambu's existing broad portfolio of bronchoscopy

solutions and the launch of the new Ambu® SureSight™ Connect video laryngoscopy solution, launched this financial year. Respiratory was renamed from Pulmonology to reflect the broad clinical scope of Ambu's offering - from 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.

Recent developments in new solutions

In Urology, the commercialization of Ambu® aScope™ 5 Uretero and Ambu® aScope™ 5 Cysto HD solutions continued. Following the CE mark in Europe earlier this year, Ambu strengthened its Urology offering with FDA clearance for aScope™ 5 Cysto HD, clearing it to function as a cysto-nephroscope for PCNL procedures. Although these new solutions and indications did not contribute significantly to this year's endoscopy growth, the performance feedback was very positive, and we remain confident of the growth potential.

In Respiratory, we launched our video laryngoscopy solution, Ambu® SureSight™ Connect, throughout the year. In the beginning of 2025, it was launched together with a handful of blades; then we expanded the solution with more blades for pediatric patients later in the year, completing the blade portfolio. The feedback from clinicians on Ambu® SureSight™ Connect has been highly positive. They highlight the benefit of Ambu's Respiratory portfolio synergies, where Ambu® SureSight™ and aScope™ bronchoscopes can be used simultaneously with dual view functionality. Looking ahead, this positions Ambu well to win in Respiratory and extend its global endoscopy leadership position.

ANESTHESIA & PATIENT MONITORING

Ambu's Anesthesia & Patient Monitoring business accounted for 39% of the company's total revenue in Q4 2024/25. The revenue grew organically by 6.4% (5.3%), mainly volume-driven with a modest impact from pricing.

Drivers of the quarter

Overall, the growth of Ambu's Anesthesia & Patient Monitoring business was driven by strong volume development, while previously announced price increases had an extraordinarily positive effect in the first half of the year but more inflation-alike price increases in the second half of the year.

The markets within Anesthesia & Patient Monitoring are fragmented, but typically more mature and stable growing markets, driven by demographics, increased healthcare access, and chronic diseases. With refined market data access and the acceptance of price increases in selected low-margin areas, the assumption of market outlook has changed to 3-5% market growth versus previously 2-4%. Ambu holds, and is expected to continue to hold, a dominant position in these markets with innovative solutions that have been developed over decades.

SUSTAINABILITY UPDATE

Sustainability is playing an increasingly important role in healthcare – both for clinicians using our solutions and for hospitals and health systems. Ambu is integrating sustainability into its strategy, innovations, business processes, and value chain, serving as a valuable partner in helping customers reach their sustainability goals.

Ambu's sustainability focus is centered on three key areas: developing circular products and packaging, take-back and recycling, and achieving net-zero emissions.

Circular products and packaging

To provide customers with an opportunity to collect and recycle used Ambu endoscopes for new non-medical purposes, Ambu launched a first-of-its-kind endoscope recycling program, the Ambu® Recircle Program, in June 2025. Initially launched in the UK and the U.S., the program has since been expanded to Germany and France. Ambu plans to expand the program further within these four key markets, supporting a growing number of customers in participating in an efficient, traceable recycling process that promotes sustainability, meets regulatory requirements, and reduces plastic waste.

In addition, on 29 October 2025, Ambu announced that the recycling program will be expanded beyond endoscopes to also include blades from the company's single-use video laryngoscopy solution, Ambu® SureSight Connect. This expansion of the program is a natural next step in Ambu's growing recycling efforts across multiple solutions, reinforcing the company's commitment to customers as a full-service partner.

Net-zero emissions

Ambu is working towards net-zero emissions by 2045 in collaboration with suppliers, customers, and other partners. This year, total emissions decreased by 3%, compared to the last financial year. To deliver on the Ambu's near-term carbon reduction targets for scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas emissions*, the company is executing on its plan, which includes:

  • For targets encompassing Ambu's facilities (scope 1 and scope 2), Ambu decreased emissions by 43% this year, compared to the baseline, and will continue to expand the use of renewable energy and reduce the energy consumption through a combination of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) and investments in installation of renewable power, e.g., solar panels near the company's production sites.
  • For targets attributed to its entire value chain (scope 3), Ambu is committed to engaging with suppliers to further safeguard the company's sustainable transformation.

SUSTAINABILITY HIGHLIGHTS

Journey towards net-zero emissions

FY FY
2024/25 2023/24 Change
Recycled waste, % of total waste 46% 52% -12%
Waste per tonne finished goods 0.29 0.27 7%
CO2e* per tonne finished goods 1.21 1.50 -19%
Energy (GJ) per tonne finished goods 18.12 18.00 1%

* Including scope 1 and 2

Focus on waste management

Waste management continued to be a priority across Ambu's manufacturing facilities and offices. In 2024/25, Ambu experienced a 12% decline in the proportion of recycled waste, compared to the same period last year. This was driven by changes in operations and lower amounts of recyclable waste. Due to the rise in waste at manufacturing locations and an insignificant drop in production output, the waste generated per tonne of finished goods rose by 7%. Ambu remains dedicated to waste management initiatives, including recycling efforts and conversion of food waste into biogas and fertilizers, as well as recycling of materials (runners) from injection molding processes at its production sites.

Focus on CO2 reduction

Ambu continues its commitment to lowering carbon emissions in accordance with its near-term reduction targets, validated by the Science Based Targets initiative. In 2024/25, the CO2e emissions per tonne of finished goods decreased by 19%. This was driven by factors such as increased production and enhanced energy efficiency measures implemented at Ambu's manufacturing sites, alongside the early acquisition of IREC in the U.S., Malaysia, and China. Ambu continues to focus on targeted energy improvement initiatives and enhanced data collection.

* Scope 1 includes greenhouse gas emissions occurring from activities under Ambu's direct control in sources that are owned or controlled by Ambu. Scope 2 refers to indirect greenhouse gas emissions caused by the energy Ambu purchases, such as electricity and district heating. Scope 3 encapsulates indirect greenhouse gas emissions – not included in scope 2 – that occur in our value chain, including both upstream and downstream emissions.

FINANCIAL OUTLOOK 2025/26

Ambu has launched its next-era strategy, ZOOM AHEAD, signaling a pivotal step in the company's long-term growth trajectory. This strategy reflects the aspiration to achieve global endoscopy leadership and underscores a commitment to setting new standards in the field. In 2024/25, Ambu continued to generate double-digit organic revenue growth, while also improving profitability.

Market conditions

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 single-use endoscopy market is expected to demonstrate continued growth. This is underpinned by increasing demand from hospitals and clinics for solutions that enhance efficiency and cost-effectiveness, 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 highgrowing market.

Organic revenue

Ambu's Endoscopy Solutions business continues to be the primary growth driver. For 2025/26, Ambu expects 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 Ambu's confidence in the scalability and resilience of the 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 Ambu's Respiratory portfolio solutions. In the business group 'Urology, Ear-Nose-Throat (ENT), and Gastroenterology (GI)', Ambu expects 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. Ambu will continue to strengthen pricing governance to expand margins. Furthermore, the company will optimize its commercial organization to support growth as well as invest in its 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

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.

Cash conversion

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 EBIT before special items and continued improvements from transformation efforts.

INCOME STATEMENTS COMMENTS

Revenue

Total revenue in Q4 2024/25 amounted to DKK 1,466m, corresponding to an organic growth of 10.0% and a reported growth of 5.7%, compared to Q4 2023/24. The organic growth was positively impacted by continued solid momentum in Endoscopy Solutions and strong performance in Anesthesia & Patient Monitoring. Particularly, North America and Europe contributed to overall growth.

Gross margin

Gross margin in Q4 2024/25 was 60.0%, corresponding to an increase of 1.1%-pts, compared to Q4 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 better price governance. Short term, gross margin was impacted by FX, but benefited from Ambu's long-term natural hedge strategy, compared to Q3 2024/25. Revenue reflected current FX rates, as it is recognized in P&L immediately, while costs hit the P&L with a lag and carry older rates, creating quarterly fluctuations.

OPEX to revenue

OPEX to revenue in Q4 2024/25 was 49.9%, corresponding to an increase of 1.6%-pts, compared to Q4 2023/24. In general, operating leverage possibilities is significant, however, as previously communicated, Ambu remains committed to investing in future growth through further resources to drive organic growth, especially within our commercial set-up. Furthermore, tariff costs are included under OPEX, negatively affecting the OPEX leverage.

Depreciation, amortization, and impairment losses (DA)

DA in Q4 2024/25 was DKK -97m, in line with Q4 2023/24.

EBIT margin b.s.i.

EBIT margin b.s.i. in Q4 2024/25 was 10.0%, corresponding to a decrease of 0.6%-pts, compared to Q4 2023/24. EBIT margin for the quarter was negatively impacted by external factors that included FX headwind of around DKK 30m and tariff costs of more than DKK 20m but positively impacted by continued operational leverage from the solid organic growth.

Despite these external headwinds, 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 the Americas, which are also set to continue. This reflects the continuation of a strategic vision established years ago to establish production in the Americas to meet the needs of the American market.

Net financials

Net financials in Q4 2024/25 were DKK 3m, compared to DKK 6m in Q4 2023/24.

Tax

Tax in Q4 2024/25 amounted to an expense of DKK -35m, corresponding to an effective tax rate of 23%, in line with Q4 2023/24.

CASH FLOW COMMENTS

Cash flow from operating activities (CFFO)

CFFO in Q4 2024/25 was DKK 249m. The solid cash flow was driven by operating profitability (EBITDA), positively impacted by change in net working capital.

Cash flow from investing activities (CFFI) before acquisitions

CFFI before acquisitions in Q4 2024/25 was DKK 119m, corresponding to 8% of revenue. CFFI was primarily driven by R&D activities, which amounted to DKK 82m, corresponding to 6% of revenue, however, when factoring in development costs, less depreciation and amortization, total R&D expenditure amounted to DKK 121m, corresponding to 8% of the total revenue.

Free cash flow (FCF) before acquisition

FCF before acquisitions came to DKK 130m in Q4 2024/25. This was mainly impacted by profitable growth, and although change in net working capital was positive, it remained elevated to mitigate the global geopolitical uncertainties and support growth, and profitability was impacted by both FX headwind and tariff costs

Acquisitions of enterprises and technology

No acquisitions were made in Q4 2024/25.

Cash flow from financing activities (CFFF)

CFFF in Q4 2024/25 was DKK -15m. This was primarily related to repayment of lease liabilities

Dividend

No dividends was paid out in Q4, but for the financial year 2024/25 a total of DKK 102m dividends was paid out.

For 2025/26, a total cash distribution of DKK 260m is intended, corresponding to 43% of net profit. This consist of:

  • A proposed dividend distribution of DKK 110m, corresponding to DKK 0.41 per share) and 18% of net profit.
  • A share buy-back programme of DKK 150m, corresponding to 25% of net profit.

The proposed dividends of DKK 110 is intended to be recommended by the Board of Directors at the annual general meeting in December 2025 and is determined based on an assessment of Ambu's cash position and liquidity forecast.

The share buy-back program will be initiated after annual general meeting held December 3, 2025. The repurchased shares are bought with the aim of future cancellation

The total cash distribution of DKK 260m exceeds our objective of paying out 30% of net profit through dividends and share buybacks, reflecting our commitment to actively use share buy-backs to distribute excess cash.

Cash position

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
