Press release
Gothenburg, Sweden on July 17, 2026
"We delivered a strong quarter both financially and operationally with several important key achievements", says Mattias Perjos, President and CEO of Getinge.
Sales in Acute Care Therapies increased in most product categories, and the positive trend in consumables for life-supporting ECLS therapy was maintained. Surgical Workflows continued to display good momentum. The situation in Life Science remains mixed - the high-margin category of Sterile Transfer reported double-digit growth for both its order intake and sales. However, the pharma sector's willingness to invest remains dominated by geopolitical uncertainty, which can primarily be seen in the project-based and capital-intense product category of WIS.
The adjusted EBITA margin was 17.6%, positively impacted by a tariff refund of approximately SEK 336 M, as well as by a continued positive underlying performance in the operations featuring a favorable mix, continued price adaptations and productivity improvements - which also led to a clear improvement in cash flow. Excluding the net effect of tariffs (SEK+244 M) and currency effects compared to last year (SEK -73 M), the adjusted EBITA margin was 15.2%.
Innovation focusing on customer value is vital, and Getinge launched several products during the quarter that strengthen our offering. One example is a new product generation within endoscopic vessel harvesting (EVH). In addition, a system for increased capacity and enhanced safety in automated endoscope reprocessing was launched and a product expanding the fluorescence imaging portfolio for small-incision surgery. A key regulatory milestone was achieved alongside these launches when the 510(k)-application for the Cardiosave intra-aortic balloon pump was submitted to the FDA in June.
"We also strengthen our infection prevention offering in endoscopy by the acquisition of Pennamed, a UK-based distributor of endoscopic consumables", says Mattias Perjos.
In addition, a new innovation center was opened in Hamburg that seeks to accelerate the path to a more intelligent, digital perioperative workflow.
"Overall, we are well positioned in the prioritized product categories of our customers, which gives us confidence for the future. While geopolitical uncertainty remains, based on our regular dialogue with customers, we maintain our forecast of organic sales growth of 3-5% in 2026", says Mattias Perjos.
