I'll now turn the call over to your speakers. You may now begin.
Thank you very much, operator. Good morning and welcome to the Embla Medical conference call where we will review the fourth quarter and full-year results for 2025. I'm Sveinn Sölvason , President and CEO of Embla Medical. Today also joining me here is our Chief Financial Officer, Arna Sveinsdóttir, and Embla Medical's Head of Investor Relations, Klaus Sindahl . The presentation should take approximately 20 minutes, after which there will be an opportunity to ask questions during a Q&A session. If you can please go to the next slide. 2025 was a year of meaningful progress for Embla Medical, with several milestones as we continue to take steps on our journey to build a company that is focused on delivering products and services for individuals with a chronic as well as acute mobility need.
The need for our solutions remains as strong as ever, and once again our team delivered with focus and purpose. I want to take the opportunity to recap some of the key highlights on this slide. In September, we completed the majority investment in Streifeneder. The investment marks a key milestone for Embla Medical positioning us as a full-range provider in the prosthetics market while strengthening our presence in key markets, especially private pay markets with less developed healthcare systems. In addition, Streifeneder will help us expand our reach and ultimately enable us to reach more patients that need our products. Innovation remains at the heart of our progress. In 2025, we introduced new impactful solutions, including two new bionic knees, NAVii and Icon, as well as the Odyssey iQ bionic support.
We're also pleased to see that Fior & Gentz was awarded its first reimbursement code in the United States last summer for their microprocessor-controlled knee joint. Another meaningful milestone I also wanted to highlight is the opening of our first clinic in Ukraine. Establishing a presence in Ukraine during a very difficult time underscores our commitment to ensuring access to high-quality mobility care. In conjunction with the opening of our Kyiv clinic, we also announced a landmark partnership with the Government of Iceland to launch the Iceland Support Mobility in Ukraine initiative. This initiative is a three-year program designed to deliver high-quality prosthetic care and rehabilitation to Ukrainian amputees. Lastly, I'm also proud that Embla Medical earned a place among the world's top 500 companies pairing strong growth with environmental responsibility. This was the second consecutive year Embla Medical was highlighted as one of the world's best companies in sustainable growth.
If you please turn to the next slide for an overview of the key highlights for the fourth quarter and full year. In 2025, we delivered solid organic sales growth with increasing underlying profitability as well as strong cash flow. For the full year, organic sales growth was 6%, driven by strong performance in prosthetics and neuroorthotics. Reported growth was 9%, and growth in local currency was 7% for 2025, including contribution from the majority investment in Streifeneder, which was completed, as earlier mentioned, in September. Sales in the fourth quarter amounted to EUR 257 million, representing 7% organic growth. Our reported growth was 14% for the quarter, including 5 percentage points contribution from FX and 3 points from M&A.
Growth in the fourth quarter was solid, driven again by the prosthetics and neuro orthotics segment, as well as also now patient care, where sales picked up in quarter four with a strong finish to the year. The EBITDA margin came in at 20% for the full year, on par with 2024. For the fourth quarter, the EBITDA margin was 19% compared to 21% in quarter four 2024, and Arna will elaborate on that later. We delivered strong cash flow in the quarter and full year as well, benefiting from solid operating results and lower CapEx compared to the same period in 2024. During the fourth quarter, we continued the rollout of our ForMotion brand at several patient care facilities in the U.S. and Australia, and we expect our global rebranding to complete in the first quarter this year.
In patient care, we have implemented several initiatives during last year to enhance long-term growth and profitability in our patient care business, and I'll add a little bit more color on that also later. I also want to highlight progress in our R&D in the fourth quarter with two important product launches during the quarter: Pro-Flex LP Junior by Össur is a new prosthetic ankle and foot designed for active young users, delivering enhanced durability and waterproof performance. In our power portfolio, we have updates for our Power Knee with functional improvements, enhancing both mobility and adoption of powered solutions.
Lastly, we have issued new guidance for 2026 of 5%-8% organic sales growth and an EBITDA margin of 20%-22%. In line with our capital structure and capital allocation policy, a new share buyback program was initiated here in the beginning of January.
If you please turn to the next slide. In both EMEA and APAC regions, we had strong sales growth in the fourth quarter. Sales were very strong in the EMEA region with 12% growth, while APAC delivered 9%. Americas ended, however, flat following a good third quarter. We'll cover the dynamics in each of our reporting segments on the following slide. If you turn to the next slide, please. Starting with prosthetics and neuro-orthotics, we delivered 9% organic sales growth for the quarter and 10% for the full year. In EMEA, we continue to see strong momentum in the quarter with good sales growth across all major markets, driven by solid contribution from recently launched innovations. In addition, we see very encouraging and strong organic contribution in the quarter from the newly acquired Streifeneder.
Growth in the Americas was moderate after a strong quarter three and somewhat below our expectations. The weaker performance in the fourth quarter is partly explained by a strong comparison with the same period in 2024. Meanwhile, we remain encouraged with the progress as we saw strong sales growth, especially in our College Park portfolio, driven by the Icon knee and the new Odyssey iQ. Lastly, solid growth in APAC, driven by Australia, while partly offset by more moderate growth in the rest of Asia. In Neuro Orthotics, the business continues to track in line with expectations following the expansion into new international markets in the last 12-18 months. Sales growth in the fourth quarter was very solid, driven by continued growth momentum in our existing German business and supported by good uptake in new markets such as Australia and France.
If you turn to the next slide, please, on bracing. Sales in bracing and supports were soft in the fourth quarter and for the full year, with some regional variances. Sales performance in 2025 continues to be impacted by shift in market dynamics and price sensitivity, causing partial loss of business in addition to an overall just an increasing and a very competitive environment. Embla Medical has a very good position in the key bracing markets in both the U.S. and Europe, and we expect to grow in line with market year in 2026, reported by focused initiatives as well as new product launches. If you go to the next slide, please, sales in patient care picked up in quarter four with a strong finish to the year. In EMEA, we saw strong growth return across our key markets.
Meanwhile, Americas ended down in the quarter due partly to a very strong comparable quarter in 2024. Despite the declining sales in Americas, we see very encouraging signs, results of the work we're doing to get our patient care business back on track. Lastly, we saw a strong finish to the year in APAC, driven by very solid performance in Australia. As communicated in the third quarter of 2025, our patient care business has over the last few quarters experienced lower-than-expected growth, mainly in our biggest regions, both EMEA and Americas. The performance can partly be ascribed to some softness and timing or fluctuations in patient volumes, especially in the first quarters of the year, but also these internal change initiatives, including the brand change, systems integrations, and other change initiatives that have had some disruption in or caused some disruption in our business temporarily.
We have several initiatives that are being implemented in our patient care business with heavy focus on performance management to strengthen the long-term growth and profitability of this important segment. It's our clear ambition to get the patient care business back on track and deliver in line with the structural growth we see elsewhere in the O&P industry.
With this overview of our performance for the quarter and year, I would like to now hand it over to you, Arna, to go through the financials in more detail. Arna, please.
Yes. Thank you, Sveinn. If you can please turn to the next slide for an overview of our financials. In quarter four, the gross profit margin was 62% compared to 63% in the comparable period 2024. The gross profit margin was positively impacted by strong sales in prosthetic and Neuro Orthotics and efficiency gains in manufacturing, but offset by FX tariffs and initiatives in patient care. For the full year, the gross profit margin was 62%, largely explained by the same items as for the quarter. OpEx grew organically 7% in the fourth quarter, but excluding the initiatives in patient care, OpEx grew organic below sales growth, in line with continued focus on cost management on the SG&A side.
Our EBITDA margin was 90% for the quarter compared to 21% in quarter four 2024, while the margin was 20% in the full year and on par with 2024. While the EBITDA margin was positively impacted by strong sales growth and efficiency in manufacturing, it was negatively impacted by FX tariffs and initiatives in patient care. The initiatives in patient care impacted both COGS and OpEx by approximately $2 million in the quarter and around $6 million in the full year. If you sum up the impact of the patient care initiatives, FX, and tariffs, the total impact on EBITDA margin was around 3 percentage points in the quarter and 1.5 percentage point in the full year.
I'm very pleased to see that we delivered strong net profit in the quarter, which grew 33% compared to the same period in 2024, and our net profit for the full year grew 21% compared to 2024. If you please turn to the next slide for the status on our cash flow and leverage. During the first quarter, CapEx was $8 million or 3% relative to sales. CapEx in 2025 returned to normalized level around 3%-4% following closure of facility expansion program carried out in 2024 to support growth. Our free cash flow was strong in the quarter as it generated $42 million compared to $33 million for the same period last year. The strong cash flow benefited from solid operating results, positive effect from working capital, and normalized CapEx levels.
For the full year 2025, free cash flow amounted to $ 100 million or 11% of sales compared to $ 75 million or 9% of sales in 2024. On the balance sheet, our net interest-bearing debt to EBITDA corresponded to 2.4x at year-end and within the range of 2x-3x. As we are within our target range, we continue with our share buyback program.
With this overview of our financials, I will hand over to Sveinn again for his closing remarks and comment around our guidance.
Thank you, Arna. If you please turn to the next slide. We delivered solid organic growth in 2025 in line with our guidance as well as our Growth 2027 financial ambition. This is a testament to our ability to execute on our targets and priorities despite an increasingly more uncertain geopolitical environment. For 2026, we are issuing new guidance. We expect organic sales growth to be in the range of 5%-8%. In prosthetics and neuroorthotics, we anticipate continued momentum across regions, supported by solid contributions from our Bionic portfolio and recently launched innovations, in addition to upcoming launches in 2026. Some positive impact from the U.S. Medicare coverage expansion is also expected to contribute to sales supported by our existing portfolio of microprocessor-controlled knee solutions.
These solutions will, in the future, be complemented by a more dedicated K2 solution to better serve the less mobile users in the low-active K2 patient population. In neuroorthotics, we expect to see contributions from the ongoing rollout of our neuroorthotics offering into new markets, leveraging our global commercial infrastructure and our ForMotion footprint. In patient care, we expect growth to gradually improve during 2026 with the aim of eventually returning to consistent sales performance in line with the market. Growth in 2026 is expected to be driven by volume growth and increased efficiency or productivity supported by the initiatives implemented across our patient care business in the second half of 2025. Focus will be on enhancing our long-term growth profile and profitability of the business while benefiting from the structural growth in the O&P industry that we have served in recent periods.
Lastly, bracing and supports is expected to grow approximately in line with market growth. We expect solid growth in selected key regions supported by launches of new product, but also with continued competitive pressure in selected markets. For 2026, our EBITDA margin is expected to be in the range of 20%-22%. The EBITDA margin is expected to be positively impacted by solid sales performance, a favorable product mix from increased sales of our high-end solutions, continued efficiency gains in manufacturing, and increasing profitability in patient care, and also continued cost control in our SG&A structure. At current foreign exchange rate, keeping all other factors constant, the EBITDA margin is expected to be negatively impacted by about 30 basis points in 2026 when compared to 2025.
With this overview, our presentation is now concluded, and we would like to open the call for questions. Operator, please move to the next slide, and the Q&A can begin.
Thank you. We'll now start the Q&A session. If you wish to ask a question, please press five-star on your telephone keypad. To withdraw your question, you may do so by pressing five-star again. There'll be a brief pause while questions are being registered. Our first question will be from Tobias Berg Nissen from Danske Bank. Please go ahead. Your line will now be unmuted.
Good morning. Thank you for taking my questions. I have a few. Let's just start out with EMEA, very strong here with 12% organic growth for the quarter and quite the acceleration from the last few quarters. Sveinn, can you talk more to what's actually the driver here for this growth acceleration and any standout countries or products? And can you say if there's any you can say one-offs that contribute to this solid growth here? That's my first question.
Hi, Tobias. Thanks for your question. Yes, we've had consistent solid performance in our EMEA region here in the quarter across all business areas with the exception of bracing, which was flattish. This is a result of, yeah, solid contribution, I would say, across all our major markets in the prosthetics and neuro side where we have essentially our base business, our mechanical business across our prosthetic portfolio, both on the premium Össur side as well as the, as you could say, the more value side with Streifeneder doing well. And we have also good development on our high-end Bionic side, which drives that extra benefit on the mix side. Then there is we have been building our presence also in Ukraine and selling more products there.
If you remember, we stopped selling products to Russia a couple of years ago, and Ukraine is starting to become a meaningful market for us. Then finally, on the patient care side, this was a quarter where we had good progress across all our European markets and are starting to see some impact of the initiatives we are doing to build a global patient care franchise. I think that these are the highlights, Tobias.
Okay. That makes sense. Is the Ukraine you also opened the clinic you mentioned? This is perhaps a little bit early, but how do you see momentum here as then one-offs related to Ukraine here in the quarter?
No one-offs, no, as such. This is not contributing yet. It's only cost at the moment as such, but we are starting to build infrastructure to be able to serve what is an important market for us. We want to make sure we are there to deliver to a need for what we do well. But this is not. There are no one-offs, meaningful one-offs, just maybe on the cost side, but nothing material. But I'll say this is more something that will have meaningful impact, we believe, medium-long term.
Perfect, Sveinn. That makes sense. Then just on Americas, it was a bit soft here with 0% organic growth. I know you mentioned some tough comps, but with Europe benefiting from these new innovations, why do we not see this in the numbers for Americas? I know patient care is also a bit soft. But what is the market growth actually in Americas, and actually, what is required to get Americas back to growing again?
The market in the Americas is healthy. And if we look at our reported growth in the Americas, that's a net result of our bracing business, patient care business, and our prosthetics and neuro business. Well, starting with the bracing business, the environment in bracing in the U.S. has been tough, very competitive, and some price erosion in some key categories. So we see a decline here in the fourth quarter. But going into 2026, we have especially some new products that will help us fight the erosion we see in some selected pockets. On the patient care side, that has been the main reason for our softness in the U.S.
And there, we've talked about our initiative to build one business on the back of a portfolio of acquisitions, introducing a new brand, introducing new systems and processes to make sure we benefit from being a large integrated company in patient care, and that has caused some disruption. On the product side in prosthetics and neuro orthotics, we are generating actually decent growth, however, a little bit below our expectation, but we're working hard on positioning as well here for 2026. So that's a little bit the big picture here. So the main kind of reason for the sluggish quarter four is the patient care side of the business.
Okay. That makes sense. You mentioned you are finished or expected to be finished with the ForMotion, you can say, rebranding here in Q1 in Americas. Do we have to get on the other side of this before you see patient care starting to return to market growth, or is it possible to get there before this?
What we are communicating is that during the year, we will get back to at least market growth in patient care. Exact timing, I'm not going to comment on that, but we are gradually expected to be, let's say, in the mid-single-digit growth area. Maybe I'll use the opportunity to kind of refresh the context around patient care. I mean, last 18 months have been a period where we have been taking the next step in our maturity journey as a patient care business or in our patient care business, moving from a, you could say, a portfolio of acquired businesses with some limited integration into really building a global business. That includes the brands, systems, and processes such that we can gain benefit from being a real global player in patient care. That has caused some disruption in our business, all these change initiatives.
But as we get that behind us, we will grow in line, at least in line with the market. We're working hard on achieving that milestone.
Perfect. Thanks, Sveinn. Just a final one from me on tariffs. What was the impact here in Q4, and what are your assumptions going into Q2 or 2026 here in terms of headwind?
So, I mean, the tariff impact here in the quarter was around $2 million and around sort of $5 million-$6 million in full year 2025. And remember, sort of we didn't have a lot of tariffs in the beginning of 2025. So let's say the full year impact for 2026, keeping everything constant, will be a little bit higher.
Perfect. That makes sense. Thank you for answering my questions.
Thank you, Tobias.
Thank you. The next question will be from the line of Sam England from Berenberg. Please go ahead. Your line will now be unmuted.
Hi, guys. Thanks for taking the questions. Just a couple from me. So on the margin side, among other things, you had some impact from the Streifeneder acquisition in Q4. Can you comment on how the integration there is progressing and how the acquisition will impact margins as you head into 2026? And then the second one, on the U.S. rollout of Neuro Orthotics, can you provide some comments on how that's progressing after you've got the new reimbursement code last quarter? And then more broadly, what your expectations are for the neuroorthotics business as we head into 2026. Thanks.
Yes. Thanks, Sam. Appreciate your questions. On the Streifeneder piece, yes, it's slightly dilutive for our margins, this business. But as we progress with integration, we expect the dilution to be marginal in 2026, only, yeah, + 10-20 basis points in 2026-ish. But the integration is going well. We're pleased with this investment, good performance here in quarter four. And we're sort of continuing to advance and mature our approach to how we position the overall business to be a supplier across the whole spectrum, essentially, both premium and value when it comes to prosthetic components. With regards to neuro orthotics, great milestone in 2026 that we are eligible for the Medicare code. And we've done a lot of groundwork here in the latter half of 2025 to prepare the business for growth here in 2026. So this will be part of our growth story here in 2026.
We have not provided any specific communication with regards to the impact, but we will start to see some traction here in the first half of 2026.
Okay. Great. Thanks very much.
Thanks, Sam.
The next question will be from Dominic Rose from Intron Health. Please go ahead. Your line will now be unmuted.
Good morning, and thanks for taking my questions. I've got two. My first question is about the guidance. The top end of your guidance is slightly above the trend growth in the market. What would you have to see to hit that top end? And just making sure whether there's any M&A impacts included within that. Question two, when could the Ukrainian markets become a material growth driver? And can you help to contextualize the potential size of that market? Thanks.
Hi, Dominic. Thanks for your questions. Yes, we've guided 5%-8% organic growth, which is largely in line with kind of our overall kind of growth ambition for the five-year strategy we're executing on now. So as always, when we start a new year, we build our guidance based on a set of assumptions, how we read the current trends in the business, and what our plans are to drive sales growth. And what needs to happen for us to deliver in the upper end? We need another solid year in our prosthetics and neuroorthotics business, similar to what we've done this year. We need to get patient care business delivering at least in line with market. And the earlier we get there, the better chance we have of delivering in the upper end of the range. And then we need to deliver in line with market growth in bracing. This will position us in the upper end of the range.
Sort of then, yeah, I hope that kind of gives a little bit of color. I mean, where we do have the strongest structural growth driver, that is, in our neuro or our prosthetics and neuro business, where ultimately, it's about defending and growing us here in our mechanical range and driving the mix or driving more adoption of these high-end solutions. And that is what you need to follow, where you need to follow the progress on our ability to do that. That will determine largely where we'll end up in the range. Then on Ukraine, I'll be cautious here in terms of communicating. I think everybody knows the facts around the size of the amputee population in Ukraine.
How the market will develop will depend on a lot of factors, how the development will be in the country itself and when the war will stop, and how a system will develop around supporting amputees. These are all factors that will sort of that will ultimately impact how the market will develop. But I think just looking at the need there, it's a big need. And this will be a there is a lot of work for our industry to do as well as we can to support the amputee population with good solutions. But I'm cautious to provide any estimates to how the market will develop in terms of size.
Okay. Thank you. That's helpful.
Thank you, Dominic.
Thank you. The next question will be from Jesper Ingildsen from Carnegie. Please go ahead. Your line will now be unmuted.
Thanks. Just a couple of questions from my side. Just going back to the strong MEA growth that you saw here in Q4, the 12% organic growth, as far as I understand, that's also helped by the way you treat acquisitions. Could you just maybe highlight how much the Streifeneder acquisitions has contributed towards that growth? And then maybe just broadly in terms of 2026, is there anything to call out here in terms of guidance, both in terms of top-line growth, but also from a margin perspective? So, I mean, obviously, you're calling out gradual improvement in patient care, but also bracing and support, getting back on track to market growth. What is the timing there? And also from a cost perspective, anything to call out that could impact the margin?
Yeah. Thanks, Jesper. I mean, on the organic growth, yes, the way we include acquisitions in organic growth is basically we will just compare to the previous year what Streifeneder did in quarter four last year because that is essentially, ultimately, the organic growth in the business, in the portfolio that we own for the quarter. So this had a, yeah, I would say, a slight positive impact on the MEA growth, but it's not the deciding factor. The main theme there is, again, just solid performance across our core portfolio in prosthetics and neuroorthotics, as well as just our patient care business delivering a solid quarter. On your question with regards to bracing, yes, our goal is to deliver bracing growth in line with market here in the year. I mean, the macro picture in bracing is unchanged. There is pricing pressure, especially in the U.S. market, partly reimbursement-related.
But it's important to keep in mind that still, these products which account for the vast majority of our portfolio in bracing are fundamental products and standard of care in each and every major healthcare system. What will be different for us here in 2026 versus 2025 is that we have some important product launches in big categories that we expect to contribute and help us fight, let's say, the erosion we see still in some selected pockets. So there is where we are in bracing. It's a competitive marketplace, but our position is strong in the key markets we operate in bracing. It's our goal to deliver, at least in line with market.
As a reminder, if you have a question for the speakers, please press five-star on your telephone keypad. The next question will be from Martin Brenøe . He just jumped up. So our next question will be from Yiwei Zhou from SEB. Please go ahead. Your line will now be unmuted.
It's Wei from SEB. Thank you for taking my question. Also a couple of questions from my side. Firstly, maybe a question to Arna. You mentioned here just restructuring initiatives for patient care. When do you expect this to be complete during 2026?
Restructuring initiatives in patient care have more or less been done. We are now starting to focus on the performance management and the initiatives we have implementing and make sure that we deliver in 2026. As you said, it will gradually impact the year, but we do not expect any material initiatives in 2026 affecting our margins from Patient Care.
Okay. Very clear. Then also a question on the EBITDA margin guidance. The range is a bit wider than usual now for 2026. Apart from the continued external headwinds, is there any internal variables you're seeing and sort of uncertainties?
No. Well, I think it's fair to say that the Internal environment is part of the overall picture, especially the cracks on the tariffs. Sorry. Could you please mute your lines? There's some background noise.
Yeah. Okay. All right, John.
Thanks.
Is it better now?
Yeah. Yes. I think it's mainly because of just the external environment that we're operating in that we go in with a little bit broader range. I think it's important to keep in mind the big picture in margin. I mean, in the beginning of 2025, we guided for 20%-21% EBITDA margin. And kind of the main then always things change as we get into the year. Some things are better than what we anticipated. Some things are not as good as we anticipated. I mean, we did anticipate that we would take a lot of cost through our P&L because of the work we're doing in patient care. That did not surprise us, even though it's maybe been a little bit higher than what we anticipated.
But what we did not anticipate in the beginning of the year were, there's the FX impact and also the tariffs. These are meaningful topics. And I think it's important to also understand that despite these you could say the tariffs that I mentioned earlier, which is probably $5 million-$6 million on a full-year basis, the FX impact and the cost we've pushed through in relation to the brand and system changes in Patient Care was still growing or increasing our margins year-over-year. And I think that is a key message. And that also goes back to, again, our overall hypothesis in terms of what our financial ambitions are within that Growth 2027 framework is to grow our top line faster than we did pre-COVID.
We've delivered consistently on that here in the first three years of this five-year strategy period, as well as also delivering on the margin piece. So yes, we're going into 2026 with a little bit broader range. You could say perhaps the volatility on the tariff side and on the FX side is a big puff of that going in a little bit broader. Our intention still remains the same to continue to grow our margin.
Okay. Thank you. But I just want to understand what needs to happen to get to the 22% EBITDA margin. I mean, there's no sign that the FX headwind will be reversed and then the tariff is still there. Could you maybe comment a bit also?
Yeah. That will ultimately, it depends on our ability to grow the business and our ability to move forward, specifically our patient care plans, to benefit from running a global platform around how we deliver mobility solutions, how we source the materials we use in our fabrication processes, and how we're able to create an environment that is better for our clinical workforce that is every day doing an incredible job in seeing and serving patients. So all of our efforts in patient care are essentially aimed at enabling more productivity, such that we're able to see more patients and deliver more solutions. So this is probably the biggest single topic with regards to our margin story this year, our ability to make progress on our patient care plans.
Great. Very clear. And then the last question, maybe challenge a bit on the long-term growth target. I mean, initially, you provided was 5%-7% organic growth at the latest capital market day. And you recently sort of indicate you see the upside 5%-8%, which is also what you are guiding for 2026. I mean, but looking back, 2024 and 2025, both years, you delivered only 6%, close to lower end of this range. I mean, what I mean, what makes you confident to accelerate the growth in the coming years? I just want to get a feeling in. I mean, how realistic is this 8%, the high end of the guidance range?
Yeah. That's a fair question, Wei. If you look at, going back to, this Growth 2027 period that we're now in, we delivered 9% in 2023, which was, though, partly impacted by an inflationary environment that is different to what we see now, of course, 6% in 2024 and then now again 6% in 2025. I think, ultimately, our organic growth will be a result of our performance in, or the weighted average of, the growth in the three segments. What we've delivered here, especially in our legacy product business, prosthetics and neuroorthotics, is that we've delivered a very clear step up in growth compared to historically. That is, again, driven by just solid performance in our bracing and custom mechanical business and good execution on the bionics side that drives that mixed growth.
Regarding our ability to deliver an offer end of this 5%-8% range, again, it will require still solid execution in prosthetics and neuroorthotics and our ability to deliver more in line with market on the patient care side. These are the biggest topics. Yes, bracing will have to be there as well, but that is a smaller part of our portfolio, around 14% of our overall sales. But still, also to push into the upper end of the range, we need to do better than what we did in 2025 in bracing.
Okay. Very clear. Thank you so much. I'll jump back. Thank you.
Thank you, Wei.
Thank you. Our next question will be from the line of Martin Brenøe from Nordea. Please go ahead. Your line will now be unmuted.
Hi. Thank you very much for taking my questions, Sveinn and Arna. Just have three quite simple questions. First of all, you mentioned Australia had quite decent growth, strong growth there. Just wondering whether there is any special ordering or any phasing we should be aware of. And to broaden that a little bit, is there any phasing we should be aware of when we are doing our model for Q1 in terms of any growth that could have happened in Q1 that was pulled a bit forward to Q4 2025? That's the first question.
Yeah. Hi, Martin. Thanks for your question. No, not as such. I mean, we have a high-quality business and a favorable market in Australia. We did exceptionally well across both our product and patient care business here in 2025. We are also in a position to have a good year in 2026 in Australia. So no one-offs or anything like that here in the quarter.
That sounds very promising. Thank you for that. And then my second question is on Fior & Gentz. Maybe just a quick status on if you look at that compared to your overall prosthetics business, how much does that account for? And how much, in terms of the group growth, do you expect it to contribute with? If you can provide just some color on Fior & Gentz's contribution would be very helpful.
Martin, what I'll say there is I'll just point back to the announcement we did when we acquired the business in terms of its relative size. It is, at that point in time, the business was roughly, yeah, $25 million. And growing and historical growth was around 14% organic growth. And what we've communicated since then is that we continue to deliver growth around that range. Now, when it comes to contribution to overall growth, we are, for example, starting from a low base in the U.S. And that will, as we are able to gain some traction on especially the new reimbursement code for the knee brace, the bionic knee brace, that can and will impact our growth. So I hope this gives you a little bit of color.
We don't report specifically on Fior & Gentz, but it's, by all means, delivering in line with our plans. And also, as we roll out to new markets and leverage our commercial infrastructure in other regions where there is good reimbursement for these types of solutions.
That's very clear. Thank you, Sveinn . Just a final question for me, and then I'll jump back in the line. It says in the report that you have, in the future, will launch a dedicated K2 MPK solution. Just wondering if you can specify, in the future, a little bit more to an analyst like me.
Yeah. Thanks, Martin. I think it's no secret that we are working hard on complementing our strong bionic range with a product that is, you could say, specifically designed for low-active amputees. We do have a strong range. We have, obviously, the NAVii , the Rheo, and also the Icon from College Park. So we have a strong range that fits onto the new reimbursement scheme also in the United States. And we believe that we are capturing our fair share of the uptake in the U.S. But we are working hard on a new low-active knee. It will not come to the market this year. But as we get closer, we will provide more guidance on timeline.
Okay. That's very helpful. Thanks so much, Sveinn, for taking my questions.
Thank you, Martin.
Thank you. As a reminder, if you have a question for the speakers, please press 5-star on your telephone keypad. We'll have a brief pause while questions are being registered. As there appears to be no more questions in the queue, I'll hand it back to the speakers for any closing remarks.
