CASTEL SAN PIETRO, 31 July 2026 – Medacta Group SA (“Medacta”, SIX:MOVE) announces today the first semester 2026 preliminary unaudited revenue.

Francesco Siccardi, CEO of Medacta, commented: “We delivered another semester of above-market growth against a record high comparable base. Medacta’s revenue growth underlines our unique position and underscores our business model. Our focus on differentiating innovations as well as on surgeon-specific medical education is driven by our commitment to improve patient outcome. I would like to thank the entire Medacta team for its efforts and achievements.”

In H1 2026, Medacta recorded Group revenue of Euro 368 million, a rise of 9.7% in constant currency and of 7.0 % in Euro against an exceptionally strong comparable base.

The good growth was delivered across all business lines and geographies. This was attributable to continued differentiating innovations, the successful attraction of new surgeons supported through our expanded sales force and our sustained focus on medical education. Medacta’s three strategic pillars resulted in higher volumes from new surgeons attracted as compared to the same period last year.  

As part of its ongoing supply chain optimization, Medacta started its operations of its new fully automated warehouse in Cermenate, Italy. When fully operational, the warehouse will reduce handling costs primarily in the southern part of Europe.

In addition, to further amplify Medacta’s growth and strengthen its global supply chain as well as operational footprint, Medacta is advancing two major expansion projects: the construction work at our site in Ticino, Switzerland, is progressing as planned with the building shell already being completed. Furthermore, in July 2026, Medacta acquired land in Tennessee, US, for the development of new manufacturing capacity which involves an investment in different phases of up to USD 85 million over the next five years. The preparatory work for the construction will begin in September 2026.

Outperforming market growth across all geographic areas

Medacta achieved superior growth rates across all geographies. The largest contributions to the Group’s growth came from Asia Pacific and EMEA, which both grew in double-digits at respectively, 13.1% and 10.0% in constant currency.

North America rose a good 6.6% in c.c. The sales channel transition in Spine was the largest contributor to the Group’s slowing revenue in the US; while in joints, there was a notable softening within Medacta’s existing customers, which seems to be consistent with a general US market slowdown. However, Medacta maintained momentum and was able to further increase revenues generated from new surgeon activities across all business lines as compared to the same period last year. Though the strengthening of revenues from new customers could only partially offset the headwinds encountered, they underline and confirm the sustained attractiveness of Medacta’s offerings.

The smallest region, Latin America, advanced by 16.4% in c.c. against a very high prior-year comparable.

Revenue distribution by geographic area:

(Euro million)	H1 2026	H1 2025	Growth in Euro	Growth in constant currency
EMEA*	185	168	10.1%	10.0%
North America	102	102	-0.3%	6.6%
Asia Pacific	73	67	9.7%	13.1%
Latin America	8	8	9.5%	16.4%
TOTAL	368	344	7.0%	9.7%

* Europe, Middle East and Africa

Sustained above-market revenue expansion across all business lines

Hip revenues increased by a good 8.1% in c.c., to Euro 145 million, with a good performance in all geographies. The growth was mainly the result of Medacta’s excellent Anterior Minimally Invasive Surgery (AMIS) platform, which offers an easily reproducible technique that delivers significant benefits to patients, surgeons as well as healthcare systems including shorter hospitalization, reduced postoperative pain, immediate muscle tone preservation, reduced risk of dislocation and shorter rehabilitation time ^[1-9]. In H1 2026, Medacta performed its first cases with NextAR Hip, the most comprehensive Augmented Reality (AR) navigation system for Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) in both, the US as well as in Australia.  This application is the latest addition to the NextAR platform and Medacta’s proprietary AR solution for efficient, precise, and real-time intraoperative guidance, which already supports total knee replacement, shoulder arthroplasty, and spine procedures.

Knee revenues rose by 10.8% in c.c. to Euro 154 million yoy. All geographic regions contributed to this growth, mainly attributable to Asia Pacific and EMEA. The growth is attributed to the Kinematic Alignment (KA) platform and the GMK SpheriKA, the first and only knee implant specifically designed for Kinematic Alignment. The single use instruments set, GMK Ultimate Efficiency, which streamlines instrument management during the surgery and accommodates for reduction in operational room set-up and clean-up time as well as instrument reprocessing time and cost, continuous to find increasing traction with surgeons.

Extremities, which include both, Shoulder and Sportsmed, delivered another remarkable revenue growth of 15.9% in c.c. to Euro 40 million. The progress was the result of both, Shoulder and Sportsmed. In April, Medacta announced the successful completion of the first U.S. revision shoulder arthroplasty using the NextAR Shoulder Augmented Reality application, supported by the new AI based MyShoulder Planner for advanced preoperative 3D planning, which marks a significant expansion of Medacta’s high-value technology portfolio. The integrated workflow between these technologies enables surgeons to transition from CT-based preoperative planning to real-time intraoperative execution, providing AR guidance, which are critical steps in shoulder arthroplasty, where millimeter-level accuracy can influence long-term functional outcomes.

In Sportsmed, Medacta successfully launched the SecureFix All-Inside Meniscal Repair System for knee sports medicine. It is distinguished by its ease of use, reliable implant deployment, and comprehensive range of fixed, curved, and bendable shaft configurations that enable access throughout the medial and lateral meniscus repair zones. This is a further addition to Medacta’s meniscal repair solutions.

Spine revenue growth remained in the single-digit range similar to the second half of 2025. Revenues increased to Euro 29 million, up 4.5% in c.c. year-on-year. The current transition to more direct sales and Medacta focused agents in the US led to an anticipated consecutive single-digit growth in H1 2026 against a very high previous year comparable base. The sales force transition is advancing according to plan. More importantly, Medacta’s innovation journey in Spine is ongoing. In the first half of 2026, the NextAR 2.0 instruments have been launched in most markets globally. These instruments include new features such as the posterior superior iliac spine pin. These instruments are lighter and easier to navigate due to the longer instrumentation allowing for higher precision in obese patients. 

Revenue distribution by business line:

(Euro million)	H1 2026	H1 2025	Growth in Euro	Growth in constant currency
Hip	145	137	5.8%	8.1%
Knee	154	143	7.8%	10.8%
Extremities**	40	36	13.3%	15.9%
Spine	29	29	0.6%	4.5%
TOTAL	368	344	7.0%	9.7%

** Extremities include Shoulder and Sportsmed revenues

These preliminary revenue figures are unaudited for the period ending 30 June 2026 and, therefore, are subject to change. The Group will announce its H1 2026 results on
09 September 2026.
 

Outlook 2026

Medacta is targeting a revenue growth in the range of 10% to 14% in constant currency and an expansion of the adjusted EBITDA margin of around 50bps vs. the prior year (27.9%), in constant currency, subject to unforeseen events.

 Mid-term outlook

Revenue compound annual growth rate (CAGR) (2024–2027E) in constant currency is expected to range between 12% and 15%, with a gradual improvement of the adjusted EBITDA margin vs. 2025, in constant currency, subject to unforeseen events.
