Berlin, November 10, 2026

aap Implantate AG (“aap”) continued its operational recovery in the third quarter of 2026. Compared to the previous quarter, revenue rose from EUR 2.8 million to EUR 3.3 million, slightly exceeding the level of the same quarter last year. For the first nine months of 2026, this results in a revenue decline of only 1.4% compared to the same period last year. This reflects a gradual improvement in revenue performance over the course of the year.

Regional Revenue Trends

EMEA, the region with the highest revenue, posted revenue growth of 3% in the third quarter of 2026 compared with the same quarter of the previous year. In the Middle East, revenue recovered significantly, rising 22% compared with the same quarter of the previous year. However, revenue there remained 51% below the prior-year level for the first nine months. New products drove dynamic growth in Spain and Portugal and offset the decline in revenue in South Africa. Most other markets in the region saw slight increases or decreases in revenue in the third quarter.

The US business remained a key growth driver for the Group. As early as the third quarter of 2025, aap had already increased revenue by 18% compared with the same quarter of the previous year. Against this high comparative base, revenue grew by an additional 2% in local currency in the third quarter of 2026. The fourth quarter also began with the highest monthly order intake of the year.

In the LATAM region, revenue matched the level of the exceptionally strong prior-year quarter, in which 21% growth had been achieved. An expanded product portfolio and new markets offset the high one-time orders from the third quarter of 2025. This creates a solid foundation for the coming year. For the fourth quarter, aap is confident that it will further reduce the cumulative revenue shortfall compared to the prior year.

In the APAC region, revenue in the third quarter was 14% below the prior-year figure. The comparable quarter of 2025 had been exceptionally strong, with growth of over 200%. For the fourth quarter, aap is confident that it will make further progress and generate additional growth on the region’s continuously expanding foundation.

Revenue and Earnings Performance in the First Nine Months

The strong third quarter helped narrow the year-over-year revenue shortfall in the first nine months. Cumulative revenue reached EUR 9.3 million (9M/2025: EUR 9.5 million).

Earnings performance also remained positive: EBITDA improved again in the first nine months of 2026 and was above the break-even point under IFRS. This underscores the progress made in efficiency, cost control, and operational performance.

Outlook for the Fourth Quarter

aap is starting the fourth quarter on a solid footing. A corresponding outlook is included in the investor presentation, which on our website will be available starting November 11, 2026.
