  • Urology Momentum:: Urology growth (21% in Q1) driven by aScope 4, 5 Cysto, and 5 Uretero, with continued single-use endoscopy penetration expected to sustain momentum.
  • Production Shift to Mexico:: Mexico production ramp-up mitigates tariffs but delayed gross margin impact, with 50% of Mexico’s physical capacity utilized and higher costs in H2 2026 expected.
