26 November 2008 10 Ambu heading for new goals Activities in the next two years Product development The launch of significantly more new and differentiated products than has been the case so far Acquisitions The acquisition of new products and activities Markets and products Increased focus on growing markets and product areas Sales Enlarging the sales force and further focusing of sales efforts Streamlining General streamlining of important areas
11
26 November 2008 11 Several new products The ability to develop new products is decisive to ensuring higher growth Further focusing and intensification of development efforts Focus on products developed by Ambu as well as acquired products Several new products in the pipeline will contribute to revenue from 2008/09, but primarily in 2009/10 Identifying several new product areas – one being sleep diagnostics Primary focus on differentiated single-use products for: Hospitals Rescue services Outpatient surgery centres
12
26 November 2008 12 More efforts going into making acquisitions Acquisitions to stimulate growth Continuous scanning of the market – focus is on the acquisition of small companies and product lines as well as large companies What we are finding is that prices are moving towards more realistic levels The criteria for making acquisitions remain the same – consolidation and synergies Business areas:
13
26 November 2008 13 Sleep diagnostics – agreement with Sleepmate Conclusion of conditional agreement con- cerning the purchase of activities from Sleepmate Technologies Inc. in November 2008 Sensors used to examine obstructive sleep apnoea Sleepmate a leading player in the US market Some of Ambu’s products are already used within sleep diagnostics. Through acquisitions, a full product programme of sensors and electrodes can be offered Transaction expected to be finalised before the end of the year Price: USD 6.9m Sleep diagnostics – growth drivers Market growth of 15% Only a small percentage of the estimated 20 million people suffering from sleep apnoea have been diagnosed Obesity epidemic causes severe increase in sleep disorders High growth expected in Europe, which is an underdeveloped market compared with USA Shift to single-use products
14
26 November 2008 14 Focus on growth markets and bigger sales force Further streamlining of the sales efforts in Europe and the USA and taking on more salespeople Increased efforts in selected markets with high growth and developed health systems China – establishment of own sales offices Selected countries in Eastern Europe – expansion of distributor networks
15
26 November 2008 15 New production strategy Production will be based at the existing factories in Denmark, China and Malaysia in the coming four years Future production capacity expansions will be implemented in Malaysia – the factory in Malaysia will be extended by approx. 8,000 square metres Production in China will be maintained close to the current level Production in Denmark will be reduced – production of the Blue Sensor products will be moved to Malaysia. The move will start once the extension of the factory in Malaysia has been completed in the first half of 2010 Further streamlining of existing factories
16
26 November 2008 16 General streamlining of key areas Sales and marketing – further intensified efforts Development – including strengthening of search team Supply chain – including the establishment of strategic purchasing function, improvement of forecasting system and better inventory management Production – including improved management and higher efficiency and capacity utilisation at factories
17
26 November 2008 17 Financial objectives Growth at significantly higher level than market growth Increase in EBIT margin – no increase in 2008/09, however, due to increase in sales force Increase in cash flow – among other things via working capital optimisation
18
26 November 2008 18 Agenda Developments in 2007/08 More ambitious strategy Outlook for 2008/09
19
26 November 2008 19 Outlook for 2008/09 Growth in revenue of approx. 8%, corresponding to approx. DKK 850m (USD: 550) EBIT margin of approx 11-11.5%, corresponding to approx.

20
26 November 2008 20 Gearing for higher profitable growth in 2008/09 Launch of new products – more in the pipeline Acquisition of new products and activities – identification of opportunities Increased sales efforts in both growing markets and product areas – establishment of sales offices in China and expansion of distribution networks in selected markets in Eastern Europe Further focusing of sales efforts and expansion of sales force – taking on more salespeople in both Europe and the USA Continued optimisation of production – e.g. commencement of extension of the factory in Malaysia
