INTERIM REPORT FOR Q4 2024/25 AND OUTLOOK FOR FY 2025/26

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 short-term 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.
