The company highlighted that the full-year contribution from its Peters Surgical and Syntacoll acquisitions was a key driver of revenue growth and broadened its product range. The Surgical division was singled out for a particularly strong performance, with growth across adhesives, biosurgical devices, and sutures and meaningful gains reported in the US and Asia-Pacific markets.

Woundcare, which underwent a restructuring, returned to growth during the year. Management cited new supply agreements and a strategic emphasis on higher-margin products as supporting factors for the recovery in that business.

AMS also noted an expectation of multiple product approvals from 2026 onwards, covering adhesives, sutures, and collagen technologies. The company expects these approvals to be part of its forward product pipeline but did not quantify timing beyond the general 2026 reference.

  • Woundcare's recovery followed restructuring and relies on new supply agreements and a shift to higher-margin products, which may present execution risk.
  • Projected product approvals from 2026 onwards are expected but not precisely timed in the company's statement.
