WE HAVE COMMUNICATED THE FOLLOWING REGARDING FINANCIAL YEAR 2022/23

ORGANIC REVENUE GROWTH

"2022/23 will be a transition year for Ambu, and combined with high external volatility, the outlook for 2022/23 is associated with uncertainty"

(Q4 2021/22 investor presentation, November 15, 2022)

"The organic revenue growth for 2022/23 is projected at 5-8%, where we will see highest growth coming from Endoscopy Solutions. The ENT (aScope™ 4 RhinoLaryngo) and cystoscopy (aScope™ 4 Cysto) businesses will continue to deliver double-digit growth, and the pulmonology business is expected to deliver year-over-year growth from the second half of 2022/23. The newly launched aScope™ 5 Broncho is expected to contribute positively to the growth in pulmonology"

(Q4 2021/22 investor presentation, November 15, 2022)

"In 2022/23 the GI portfolio (…) is expected to contribute to the growth, however, the uptake for both products (aScope™ Duodeno 1.5 and aScope™ Gastro) will be gradual compared to the other segments we are present in" (Q4 2021/22 investor presentation, November 15, 2022)

Q3 2022_23 AIDE-MÉMOIRE

PAGE 1 OF 4

"Anaesthesia and Patient Monitoring, combined, showed 3% organic decline in Q2, mainly driven by reduction of backlog last year, offset by a market normalization post Covid 19 (…). It's fair to assume that the revenue for Anesthesia and Patient Monitoring (combined, red.) remaining roughly at the same level (in Q3, red.) as we have seen in Q2."

(Q2 2022/23 investor presentation Transcript, May 3, 2023)

MARGINS

"For Q3 2022/23, EBIT before special items totalled DKK 91m (DKK 42m), with an EBIT-margin before special items of 7.6% (3.7%), mainly driven by a better-than-expected gross margin, based on product mix and lower distributions costs"

(July 10, 2023, preliminary Q3 2022/23 results)

FINANCIALS

"The free cash flow before acquisitions will improve in the range of DKK 350-450m in 2022/23 vs. 2021/22, approaching full-year neutral level, mainly driven by a normalisation of the inventory level and savings from the cost reduction program. The savings are expected to come from lower investment levels into future technologies and

new product developments within Anaesthesia and Patient Monitoring" (Annual Report 2021/22, November 15, 2022)

"CAPEX relative to revenue is expected to be approximately 9% in 2022/23" (Annual Report 2021/22, November 15, 2022)
