Overview
Letter from the CEO
2025 was a year of meaningful progress for Embla Medical. Across geographies and patient care settings, the need for our solutions remains as strong as ever, and once again, our teams delivered with focus and purpose.
We achieved 6% organic growth driven by strong performance in Prosthetics & Neuro Orthotics and delivered a robust EBITDA margin of 20%, reflecting operational efficiency and effective cost control. These results underscore the strength of our business model and our ability to operate in a dynamic environment.
We continued to advance our Growth’27 strategy through a combination of innovative solutions, market expansion, and operational execution. A key milestone during the year was the acquisition of a majority share in Streifender ortho.production, positioning Embla Medical as a full-range provider. This investment strengthens our presence in key markets and expands our reach in less developed healthcare markets – enabling us to better support clinicians, customers and, most importantly, reach more patients.
Innovation remains at the heart of our progress. In 2025, we introduced new solutions across our portfolio of leading global brands: Össur, College Park and Fior & Gentz. Our innovations have improved millions of lives and created lasting value for patients and healthcare systems. Yet, there is so much more we can do to reach more people with even more impactful solutions, and we are fortunate to have one of the most innovative teams in the industry leading the way.
We also strengthened our foundation in Patient Care following a year with lower-than-expected growth, as we undertook important changes to better support patients and clinicians over the long term. With the global rollout of our ForMotion brand and the implementation of new performance management systems nearing completion, our focus is on creating the best possible environment for clinicians to deliver exceptional patient care and on ensuring optimal outcomes for patients. These efforts position our Patient Care business to return to a stronger growth trajectory in 2026.
One particularly meaningful milestone was the opening of a new clinic in Kyiv. Establishing a presence in Ukraine underscores our commitment to ensuring access to high-quality mobility care and reflects our belief that mobility is fundamental to dignity and independence.
During the year, we were honored to receive multiple awards and accolades, not only for our products and innovation capabilities but also our broader commitment to responsible growth. This includes being named one of TIME Magazine‘s World‘s Best Companies in Sustainable Growth. These recognitions are a testament to the dedication of our employees and the trust placed in us by customers, partners, and end-users around the world.
While the global environment remains challenging, we stay grounded and focused on what we can control. What has not changed, and will not change, is the need for what we do. People around the world continue to count on us to improve their mobility, and our purpose remains as strong as ever.
As we look ahead, we remain confident in our strategy and our ability to navigate change while creating value for patients, customers, employees, healthcare systems and shareholders. The underlying drivers of demand - an aging population, rising incidence of mobility-limiting conditions and growing expectations for quality of life, remain firmly in place. Our focus is clear: putting patients first. We will continue to innovate, collaborate, and invest in solutions that help people live life without limitations.
I would like to sincerely thank our employees, customers, end-users, and shareholders for their trust and continued collaboration. Together, we are shaping a future where more people can live a life with greater mobility, independence, and confidence.

Performance
Performance in 2025
- Sales amounted to USD 929 million where organic growth was 6% and local currency growth was 7% including acquisitions.
- Prosthetics & Neuro Orthotics sales grew by 10% organic, Bracing & Supports declined 1%, and Patient Care sales grew by 1% organic. Growth in 2025 was mainly attributed to strong volume growth and positive product mix supported by high-end solutions.
- EMEA and APAC regions both demonstrated strong performance; especially in Prosthetics & Neuro Orthotics supported by solid contribution of recently launched innovation. Growth in Neuro Orthotics was also good following an ongoing expansion into multiple new markets.
- Gross profit margin was 62%, compared to 63% in 2024. The gross profit margin was positively impacted by strong sales in Prosthetics & Neuro Orthotics and efficiency gains in manufacturing but partially offset by tariffs, negative FX impact, and initiatives in Patient Care during the year.
- EBITDA margin was 20%, on par with 2024. The EBITDA margin was negatively impacted by a lower gross profit margin, FX, temporary dilution effect from Streifeneder, and initiatives in Patient Care to strengthen growth and profitability of the segment. Total impact on EBITDA margin from these initiatives and other items amounts to ~1.5%-points in 2025.
- Net profit grew by 21% and amounted to USD 84 million or 9% of sales, compared to 8% of sales in 2024.
- Free cash flow amounted to USD 100 million or 11% of sales, compared to 9% of sales in 2024. The strong free cash flow generation benefitted from solid operating results and lower CAPEX compared to 2024.
- NIBD/EBITDA before special items was 2.4x at the end of 2025, within our target range of 2-3x EBITDA in line with our Capital Structure and Capital Allocation Policy.

Strategy
Growth'27 Strategy
Embla Medical introduced its five-year Growth’27 strategy in 2023. The focus of the Growth’27 strategy is to reach more people in need of mobility solutions.
The strategy addresses key industry themes and supports our transformation into an increasingly patient-centric company. It is our aim to drive accelerated organic growth and continue generating value for individuals and healthcare systems.
Unlocking a Larger Playing Field as an Increasingly Patient-Centric Organization
Over the past years, we have been transitioning from a product-focused company to an increasingly patientcentric organization. This shift primarily focuses on chronic mobility categories, where individuals require lifelong solutions, as well as on those who have suffered acute injuries requiring short-term solutions. This transition presents opportunities to gain direct access to patients, payers, and providers while addressing a broader set of chronic mobility categories.
Growth Drivers
Patient Reach, Innovative Solutions, and O&P Value Creation are the three growth drivers that form the basis of Growth’27. These growth drivers address our ambition to become increasingly patient driven and to cater for the needs of individuals with chronic mobility challenges. In other words, they guide our strategic priorities within Prosthetics, Neuro Orthotics and Patient Care.
In Bracing & Supports, we will continue to drive growth in line with our “Bracing Simplified” strategy, by being a trusted partner for our customers through the delivery of a simplified and strong product portfolio.
