separation from Siemens is expected to introduce recurring standalone costs, which management continues to estimate at a

mid-double-digit million euro level and is equivalent to a headwind of c. -€0.02 to -0.03.

Against these headwinds, the company highlighted several offsetting tailwinds. Tariff mitigation measures announced at the

Capital Markets Day are expected to begin contributing in 2026/27E , forming the first phase of management's plan to fully

mitigate the approximately €400m tariff impact by 2027/28E. In addition, Imaging continues to benefit from strong adoption

of photon-counting CT and DryCool MRI, while Precision Therapy remains supported by the strong momentum in Advanced

Therapies and Varian. Management also reiterated its confidence in maintaining high-single-digit growth at Varian over time,

aided by an upcoming radiation therapy platform launch and a strong installed base.

One key variable is inflation. Healthineers now sees rising costs for memory chips, selected raw materials and logistics

becoming a meaningful headwind. Management currently assumes that the benefit from tariff mitigation in 2026/27E could be

largely offset by these inflationary pressures, neutralizing one of the more obvious earnings tailwinds.

We forecast a 2026/27 adj. EPS of €2.36, which is +5% above our tariff refund adjusted forecast for 2026 adj. EPS.
