Sales grew across segments and was led by North America and Europe. We are moving forward with full energy on our new plan to accelerate profitable growth, built on three strategic pillars: focused segment-specific strategies, differentiated platform-based innovations, and disciplined execution. We are proud to remain the number one MedTech patent applicant in Europe and to have secured regulatory approval for key AI-powered innovations such as SmartHeart, which automates cardiac MR imaging planning in one click. Our unique, differentiated platforms drove strong demand by combining hardware, software and AI. DeviceGuide gained regulatory approval, adding AI-powered real-time guidance to complex cardiac procedures on the Azurion image-guided therapy platform. Our OneBlade grooming platform resonated with customers by providing superior experience and versatility in use. Disciplined execution underpins our progress as we navigate an increasingly dynamic macro-environment. In response to external pressures, we are focused on what we can control: stepping up productivity actions to offset the impact of tariffs and higher cost inflation, keeping our savings plans on track, and further strengthening our supply chain. At the same time, we are intensifying commercial and service excellence to reach more customers and consumers through our innovations. With quality at the heart of our operations, our entire team is dedicated to delivering better care for more people.” Group and segment performanceComparable order intake increased 6%, driven by growth in both Diagnosis & Treatment and Connected Care and continued strong performance in North America and International Region.

Anteris Technologies Announces First U.S. Patients Treated in Global Pivotal PARADIGM Trial

MINNEAPOLIS and BRISBANE, Australia, May 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Anteris Technologies Global Corp. (“Anteris” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: AVR, ASX: AVR), a global structural heart company committed to designing, developing, and commercializing cutting-edge medical devices to restore healthy heart function, today announced that the first patients in the United States have been enrolled and successfully treated in the DurAVR® Transcatheter Heart Valve (“THV”) global pivotal trial for patients with severe calcific aortic stenosis (the “PARADIGM Trial”). The procedures were performed by Azeem Latib, M.D. at Montefiore Medical Center, New York, United States. “Performing the first U.S. cases in the global PARADIGM Trial is a significant achievement for trial investigators, and our early procedural experience with the DurAVR® THV System has been highly encouraging,” said Dr. Latib, Principal Investigator and Director of Interventional Cardiology and Director of Structural Heart Interventions at Montefiore. “PARADIGM is specifically designed to answer clinically meaningful questions and go beyond the usual safety metrics and hemodynamics by also looking at the impact of flow patterns on left ventricular recovery. Initiating enrollment represents a critical step toward generating the evidence needed to inform future patient care.” “Following CMS approval, the Anteris team and our physician partners worked closely together to achieve first patient enrollments within the week. This marks a major milestone for the PARADIGM Trial as our U.S. study sites come on line and expand recruitment capability,” said Wayne Paterson, Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Anteris. About the PARADIGM Trial The PARADIGM Trial is a prospective randomized controlled trial which will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the DurAVR® THV compared to commercially available transcatheter aortic valve replacements (TAVRs). This head-to-head study will enroll approximately 1000 patients in the ‘All Comers Randomized Cohort’ with 1:1 randomization of patients who will receive either the DurAVR® THV or TAVR using commercially available and approved THVs. The PARADIGM Trial will assess non-inferiority on a primary composite endpoint of all-cause mortality, all stroke and cardiovascular hospitalization at one year post procedure. For further information, please refer to ClinicalTrials.gov NCT07194265. About Anteris Anteris Technologies Global Corp. (NASDAQ: AVR, ASX: AVR) is a global structural heart company committed to designing, developing, and commercializing cutting-edge medical devices to restore healthy heart function.

Anteris’ lead product, the DurAVR® THV, was designed in collaboration with the world’s leading interventional cardiologists and cardiac surgeons to treat aortic stenosis – a potentially life-threatening condition resulting from the narrowing of the aortic valve. The balloon-expandable DurAVR® THV is the first biomimetic valve, which is shaped to mimic the performance of a healthy human aortic valve and aims to replicate normal aortic blood flow. DurAVR® THV is made using a single piece of molded ADAPT® tissue, Anteris’ patented anti-calcification tissue technology. ADAPT® tissue, which is FDA-cleared, has been used clinically for over 10 years and distributed for use in over 55,000 patients worldwide. The DurAVR® THV System is comprised of the DurAVR® valve, the ADAPT® tissue, and the balloon-expandable ComASUR® Delivery System.
