AMBU ANNOUNCES FINANCIAL OUTLOOK FOR THE 2023/24 FINANCIAL YEAR
Today, Ambu announces its financial guidance for
the fiscal year 2023/24. Also, today, Ambu will publish its Q4 and
full-year earnings release along with its Annual Report, including
the company’s Sustainability Report, and its Remuneration Report
and Corporate Governance Report for 2022/23.
MARKET CONDITIONSDuring 2022/23, Ambu
witnessed increased geopolitical uncertainty and a volatile
macroenvironment, affecting the global economy and resulting in
inflationary effects on raw materials, energy prices and logistics
costs. This is a tendency that the company expects to continue
throughout 2023/24. Despite this, Ambu expects the single-use
endoscopy market to continue to grow in 2023/24, driven by hospital
systems’ and clinics’ growing needs for workflow efficiencies and
improved economics, as well as the increased awareness of infection
control and the strong clinical performance that single-use
solutions bring to healthcare professionals and patients.
Organic revenue growthAmbu’s Endoscopy Solutions business
remains the key growth engine for the company, and it makes up 56%
of the company’s total revenue in 2022/23. In 2023/24, this
business area is expected to grow 15% organically, with the ENT and
urology segments expected to continue their double-digit organic
growth trajectory. Similarly, due to Ambu’s strengthened
pulmonology portfolio, as well as the company’s expanded
gastroenterology (GI) portfolio, both the pulmonology and GI
businesses are expected to contribute positively towards a solid
organic revenue growth in 2023/24. Also, with the objective of
increasing long-term profitability in the Anaesthesia & Patient
Monitoring business areas, Ambu will continue to drive the
strategic initiatives launched in 2022/23, related to addressing
selected low-margin areas with sizable price increases and exiting
40 countries to reduce geographical complexity.Overall, Ambu’s
total organic growth is expected to be 7-10% for the 2023/24
financial year, compared to 7.6% in 2022/23.EBIT margin before
special itemsFor 2023/24, the EBIT margin before special items
is expected to be 8-10%, compared to 6.3% in 2022/23. This will be
driven by an improved gross margin from a strengthened product mix,
as well as from a continued overarching cost focus. Ambu’s free
cash flow before acquisitions is expected to improve to around DKK
+270m, compared to DKK 192m in 2022/23. The continued increased
cash flow will be driven by a higher EBIT margin before special
items and continued annual savings from the cost reduction program,
reflecting a disciplined capital allocation.
