Outlook and guidance

• Global IVF cycles are expected to grow at a mid-single-digit rate in coming years, supported by improving reimbursement, coverage and policy.

• 2027 is expected to be a record year for product launches by number and scale; rollout will be regional, and revenue impact will take time.

• Restructuring remains on plan, with most actions completed by end-Q3 and targeted annualised savings of SEK 65m at full run rate; some savings are reinvested.

• Q4 consumables growth is expected to return to normal levels after distributor-order timing affected Q3; the prior-year comparison is strong for Technologies.

• Long-term objectives are organic growth above 10%, EBITDA margin above 33% and net debt/EBITDA below 3.
