Proposal
The Board of Directors proposes that the members of the Board of Directors and the members of the Executive Management Board be granted discharge for their activities in the 2025 business year.
Rationale
The company does not have knowledge of any facts or matters that would contradict the full discharge of the members of the Board of Directors and the Executive Management Board for their activities in the 2025 business year.
-
APPROVAL OF THE MAXIMUM AGGREGATE COMPENSATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Proposal
The Board of Directors proposes that a maximum aggregate compensation of the members of the Board of Directors for the period commencing at the 2026 Annual General Meeting and ending at the Annual General Meeting in 2027 in the amount of CHF 2.6 million be approved.
Rationale
Pursuant to article 3.1.9 of the Articles of Association, the General Meeting of Shareholders shall approve the maximum aggregate compensation of the Board of Directors for the period of one term of office until completion of the next Annual General Meeting. Pursuant to article 4.1 of the Articles of Association, the compensation of the members of the Board of Directors consists of fixed compensation payable in cash and shares.
Shares are granted at market value of the date of the grant and are blocked for two years.
The proposed aggregate maximum amount of CHF 2.6 million remains unchanged when compared to the amount approved at the 2025 Annual General Meeting. The proposed aggregate maximum amount includes all social security charges and the fringe benefits specified in the compensation report.
-
APPROVAL OF THE MAXIMUM AGGREGATE COMPENSATION OF THE EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT BOARD
The proposed amounts specified in items 5.1 to 5.4 below include the fringe benefits listed in the compensation report as well as social security charges and forecasted changes against the amount approved in the prior year, to determine the relative and absolute changes within the Annual General Meeting year (1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027). Actual payments are then disclosed in the compensation report each year and may be at or below the respective proposals depending on business performance. Please refer to the table "compensation approved, dispensed and proposed" in this document or to the compensation report in the annual report for further information on fixed and variable compensation for the Executive Management Board.
-
APPROVAL OF THE MAXIMUM FIXED COMPENSATION OF THE EXECUTIVE
MANAGEMENT BOARD FOR THE PERIOD FROM 1 APRIL 2026 TO 31 MARCH 2027
Proposal
The Board of Directors proposes that a maximum aggregate fixed compensation of the members of the Executive Management Board for the period from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027 in the amount of CHF 9.3 million be approved.
Rationale
Pursuant to article 3.1.9 of the Articles of Association, the General Meeting of Shareholders shall approve the maximum aggregate fixed compensation of the Executive Management Board for the period commencing on 1 April of the year during which the Board of Directors submits its proposal and ending on 31 March of the following year. Article 4.2 of the Articles of Association provides that the fixed compensation consists of the base salary and may include further compensation elements. The fixed compensation components are individually defined by the Board of Directors within the limits approved by the Annual General Meeting.
The proposed maximum fixed compensation of CHF 9.3 million represents an increase of 1.1% when compared to the amount approved at the 2025 Annual General Meeting
(CHF 9.2 million), to bring Executive Management Board members in line with the competitive market benchmark.
-
APPROVAL OF THE LONG-TERM VARIABLE COMPENSATION
OF THE EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT BOARD FOR THE CURRENT BUSINESS YEAR
Proposal
The Board of Directors proposes that an aggregate long-term variable compensation of the members of the Executive Mangement Board for the 2026 business year in the amount of CHF 4.4 million (market value at grant) be approved.
Rationale
Pursuant to article 3.1.9 of the Articles of Association, the General Meeting of Shareholders shall approve the long-term variable compensation elements of the Executive Management Board for the current business year. In accordance with article 4.2 of the Articles of Association, the long-term variable compensation of the individual members of the Executive Management Board will be granted in the form of "Performance Share Units" (PSUs). The grant value is the annual LTI grant amount to be converted to a number of PSUs on the grant date. Vesting is subject to performance conditions of absolute and relative total shareholder return and a core EBIT growth amount after three years. The achievement of all performance conditions can result in a vesting factor ranging from zero to a maximum of two shares per PSU.
The proposed long-term variable compensation of CHF 4.4 million represents an increase of 10% when compared to the amount approved at the 2025 Annual General Meeting
(CHF 4.0 million). This reflects increases for selected members of Executive Management Board to maintain market value competitive long-term incentives and paymix, as well as changes to the Executive Management Board during the year.
-
APPROVAL OF THE SHORT-TERM VARIABLE COMPENSATION
OF THE EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT BOARD FOR THE 2025 BUSINESS YEAR
Proposal
The Board of Directors proposes that an aggregate short-term variable compensation of
the members of the Executive Management Board for the business year 2025 in the amount of CHF 7.7 million be approved.
Rationale
Pursuant to article 3.1.9 of the Articles of Association, the General Meeting of Shareholders shall approve the short-term variable compensation elements of the Executive Management Board for the preceding business year. In accordance with article 4.2 of the Articles of Association, the short-term variable compensation component has been calculated for the individual members of the Executive Management Board based on the achievements of company-specific targets.
The proposed short-term variable compensation of CHF 7.7 million reflects the annualized impact of changes during the year including target adjustments made for the 2025 performance year. When factoring in the achievement level, the resulting payout is lower by 8.3% when compared to the amount approved during the 2025 Annual General Meeting (CHF 8.4 million).
-
APPROVAL OF A ONE-TIME RETENTION AND ENGAGEMENT AWARD FOR SELECTED EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT BOARD MEMBERS FOR THE CURRENT BUSINESS YEAR
Proposal
The Board of Directors proposes that an aggregate, one-time retention and engagement award for selected members of the Executive Management Board for 2026 in the amount of CHF 1.15 million be approved.
Rationale
Pursuant to article 3.1.9 of the Articles of Association, the General Meeting of Shareholders shall approve additional proposals of the Board for Executive Management compensation.
The proposed retention and engagement award of CHF 1.15 million represents a one-time award for selected Executive Management Board members that are critical to delivering key transformation activities through 2027 as well as to support continued engagement. The award is supported by the CEO and CFO, who are both not recipients themselves. It will be granted as "Restricted Share Units" (RSUs), vesting in the third quarter of 2027 (18 months after grant), and will be forfeited if participants are not employed on the vesting date.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIR AND CEO DEAR READER,2025 was a year in which the Straumann Group continued to deliver industry-leading results while operating in an increasingly complex and volatile global environment. Macroeconomic uncertainty, trade tariffs, regulatory developments and pronounced currency headwinds shaped the year.
We navigated these challenges with agility and remained focused on what has consistently defined our success: a strong culture rooted in customer focus, a deep commitment to innovation, and disciplined execution.
"We helped to create more than 7.3 million smiles in 2025."
For the full year, the Straumann Group achieved an organic revenue growth of 8.9%, reaching revenues of CHF 2.6 billion, and delivered a core EBIT margin of 26.5% margin at constant 2024 currencies, or 25.2% including currency impact. Beyond financial results, we helped to create more than 7.3 million smiles, 600 000 more than last year, reflecting the growing impact of our solutions worldwide.
What truly defined 2025 was our people. The team's spirit and agility made up for the significant impacts on the business from currency headwinds which lowered revenue by more than 100 million Swiss francs and led to a 4.1% growth in Swiss francs. At the same time, we were able to maintain high profitability of 25.2%, compensating for 130 basis points of currency headwinds and tariff impacts.
This success is thanks to the dedication of our teams, the strengths of our portfolio, and the trust placed in us by our customers around the world.
"Strong regional performance rooted in agility, purpose and customer trust in a challenging environment."
In 2025, growth remained broad-based, though regional dynamics differed. We saw continued momentum in the Europe, Middle East and Africa region, supported by a strong demand for our premium and challenger implant brands, a growing digital adoption, and our ongoing investment in education.
Petra Rumpf, Chair and Guillaume Daniellot, Chief Executive Officer
Against this backdrop, the North American team operated in a softer, more volatile market, with cautious patient spending. Yet, thanks to disciplined execution, and the new leadership, the region steadily improved over the year ending strongly.
Asia Pacific delivered solid growth outside of China, with encouraging results in India, Thailand, Australia, and Japan. In China, demand softened toward year-end in anticipation of the next round of the volume-based procurement (VBP) 2.0, a government-led program where public hospitals purchase medical products through centralized tenders at pre-negotiated prices in exchange for guaranteed volumes.
Latin America maintained its strong momentum, delivering robust growth despite a tough comparisons base.
A highlight was the performance of our dental service organization (DSO) team. We welcomed new customers into the Straumann Group and further strengthened the long-standing strategic relationships that underpin our success.
"Innovation was a driving force in 2025, enabling solutions that meet and exceed clinician and patient needs."
2025 was a year of strong innovation across many businesses, also shaped by years of customer feedback. At the International Dental Show (IDS) in Cologne, Germany, we presented a range of innovations improving workflows for clinicians and outcomes for patients.
Notable launches included SIRIOS X3 in the fourth quarter, a next-generation, wireless intraoral scanner. SIRIOS X3 expands our intraoral scanner portfolio into the mid-price segment and lowers the entry barrier for clinicians to adopt digital workflows in their practices. It enables faster and more comfortable impressions and integrates seamlessly with the Straumann AXS platform for immediate processing.
Another highlight was the continued global rollout of iEXCEL. With more than one million implants sold, it streamlines four implant lines into one flexible system featuring our proven Roxolid and SLActive surface for enhanced osseointegration.
With the launch of Straumann AXS, we made further progress in our transformation from a predominantly product-led company toward a more service-led business model. Straumann AXS supports clinicians and laboratories across the full patient journey, reducing complexity, saving time, and enabling consistent clinical outcomes. For example, clinicians can scan with our intraoral scanners, plan cases with AI-driven software, and order prosthetics or guides through one platform. By the end of 2025, thousands of customers were actively using AXS, benefitting from a more efficient and user-friendly digital set-up.
We also launched our first chairside 3D printing solution, Straumann Signature MIDAS which we
co-developed with SprintRay. MIDAS enables dental professionals to fabricate crowns, inlays, onlays, and other restorations in the dental office during a patient visit. The high-speed 3D printer is fully integrated into the Straumann AXS workflow and connects with our SIRIOS scanner. MIDAS marks an important step in Straumann Group's entry into chairside prosthetics, bringing speed, simplicity, and precision to in-practice restoration workflows. The launch was met with strong interest from customers and industry experts alike.
"We started to transform our orthodontics business through new strategic partnerships and a sharpened market approach."
In 2025, we took a decisive step to reposition our orthodontics business for sustainable growth and stronger profitability.
We sharpened our go-to-market focus and prioritized resources on high-growth geographies and customer segments, with a focus on general practitioners and dental service organizations. In parallel, we leveraged partnerships to enable a more agile and efficient manufacturing set-up and innovate the patient experience. We enter 2026 with ClearCorrect in a much stronger position.
While disciplined execution remains essential, we are encouraged by the progress made and confident in the strategic direction we have set.
"We made critical investments to build a resilient organization for growth and global expansion."
Throughout 2025, we continued to invest in strategic initiatives to secure our future growth. A key priority was to expand and optimize our global manufacturing footprint, now spanning 18 sites, to meet rising demand and improve our operational agility. This includes a strong production presence in the United States, providing resilience amid tariff dynamics.
We reinforced our commitment to Switzerland as a hub for innovation and excellence. In 2025, we announced further investments in our Villeret manufacturing site, committing CHF 60 to 80 million over the next five years to enhance Villeret as a center of excellence for precision manufacturing. This investment will focus on high value-added products such as our new iEXCEL implant line and advanced automation, ensuring that Switzerland remains at the forefront of our global production network.
At the same time, we reached a milestone in China with the opening of our new Shanghai manufacturing campus. Establishing manufacturing in China enhances our resilience in the face of regulatory changes, like VBP and tariff barriers, and positions us to capture growth in the world's largest dental market. In fact, as China's next VBP implant tender approaches in 2026, we can offer competitive, locally made solutions and ensure supply continuity for our customers in China.
In July 2025, we reached another strategic milestone by increasing our stake in maxon dental GmbH from 49% to full ownership. Located in Germany, maxon dental pioneered the world's first two-piece ceramic implant system using proprietary ceramic injection molding (CIM) technology. By fully integrating the newly named Straumann Ceramics into the Straumann family, we secure a distinctive innovation platform in the growing field of ceramic dental implants, an area of increasing interest among clinicians and patients.
"Education activities were intensified, expanding access and empowering clinicians worldwide."
It is essential to innovate and combine this with the necessary education activities to ensure our solutions reach our customers and ultimately patients. Investing in education continues to be part of our core business, as knowledge and skills are essential for our success and customer satisfaction.
In 2025, we delivered over 10 700 educational activities and trained more than 370 000 doctors around the world, supporting their growth in implantology, orthodontics, and digital dentistry.
With more than 25 000 members, our partner, the International Team for Implantology (ITI) continues to lead the way in evidence-based learning and clinical excellence globally, while ILAPEO remains a strong regional anchor in Latin America and now also Asia Pacific, blending education, research, and hands-on training.
By building on these trusted partners and expanding our reach, we help clinicians grow, strengthen long-term relationships, and support the adoption of innovation, making education a lasting driver of quality care and sustainable growth.
"Our people remain our strong foundation of success."
Our continued success is fundamentally built on our people and our culture. Our high-performance player-learner culture has been instrumental in driving our achievements and in attracting new talent.
Even as we navigated changes through geopolitical challenges, business transformation and adjustments in manufacturing, our teams showed resilience, empathy, and strong support for one another. An engagement score of 80 reflects the strength of our culture and the dedication of our people. In 2025, we doubled down on talent development, offering expanded training and leadership programs to help our employees grow both personally and professionally. We remain committed to investing in talent and leadership, knowing that our people are the key to our success.
"Our strong, diverse Board and Executive Management team share a unified vision and conviction to deliver on our strategic direction."
As announced with our 2025 full-year results, Thomas Straumann, the founder of the company, has decided to step down from his active role on the Board and will transition to the role of Honorary Chairman, as appointed by the Board. While he is stepping back from formal responsibilities, Thomas will remain closely connected to the Straumann Group, continuing his involvement as an honorary fellow in the ITI and serving as a trusted advisor to the Board. As the founder of the Straumann Group today, his entrepreneurship, vision, values, and long-term commitment have shaped the company over more than 36 years into what it is today, and we are deeply grateful for his continued support.
To represent the founder family going forward, we will propose Sébastien Schatzmann, Thomas Straumann's son-in-law, to be elected as a Board member. Sébastien is a successful young entrepreneur who brings not only deep financial and business expertise but also the spirit of the next generation of leadership. His perspective will be valuable as we continue to innovate, grow, and build the Straumann Group for the future.
We are also pleased that Wolfgang Becker, who served the Group for more than 40 years with an exceptional track record across multiple roles, including as member of the Executive Management Board and Head of our largest region EMEA, will stand for election to the Board of Directors. Marco Gadola has decided not to stand for re-election in 2026 as a board member. We are grateful that he will continue to support the Straumann Group as an advisor to the Chair. We sincerely thank him for his long-standing dedication to the company as a highly regarded CEO and valued member of the Board of Directors and trusted Vice Chair since 2024.
We also strengthened our leadership team this year to support the Group's next stage of growth. In July, we welcomed Isabelle Wege as our new Chief Financial Officer. At the regional level, Alexei Costa joined us as Head of Latin America, and during the first half of the year we appointed Grant Bester as Executive Vice President and Commercial Head for North America. All three are exceptional, passionate leaders and together, these transitions, along with other key hires, ensure we have the right talent in place to execute our strategy and sustain our performance-driven culture.
"Committed to sustainable value and impact, we pursue responsible growth."
In 2025, we continued to progress on our environmental ambitions, including maintaining close to 100% renewable electricity across all our sites globally. In parallel, we strengthened education and access-to-care, with 42% of activities in low- and middle-income countries, while reinforcing responsible business practices across our value chain, linking growth with positive social impact.
Our Smile Movement, an internal employee-led initiative, raised funds for the Straumann Group Foundation to expand access to oral care for those in need and create lasting impact.
"We are confident in our 'Go Beyond' strategy which will fuel our long-term growth ambition, barring unforeseen circumstances."
Five years after launching our 2030 ambition, we are proud of the progress achieved. Our revenue growth is now more balanced geographically, our portfolio more diversified, and our leadership in digital workflows and intraoral scanning firmly established.
In 2025, we entered the next phase of our strategy with Go Beyond. Our focus is to build on our leadership in implantology, expand our addressable markets, and grow our position across all core areas of the Group. We are accelerating the adoption of digital workflows with our customers and advancing chairside digital prosthetics in close collaboration with partners and laboratories.
At the same time, we are reshaping our orthodontics business to establish a stronger platform for sustainable growth and improved profitability. Across the Group, we continue to deploy technology to drive operational excellence, ensuring that growth is disciplined and consistently translates into healthy cash flow.
Today, the Group operates in an estimated global market of around CHF 20 billion. With our strong market position, resilient business model, and solid balance sheet, we are well equipped to navigate uncertainty and seize new opportunities. Our high-performance, player-learner culture remains a core strength, and we are confident in our ability to deliver on our ambition of around 10% average annual revenue growth over the mid-term. This growth strategy will be underpinned by continued investment and a clear focus on operational excellence. We are targeting an average annual increase in our core EBIT margin of 40 to 50 basis points at constant exchange rates until 2030. We will continue to provide annual guidance and are committed to steadily increasing our gross dividend based on performance.
"We thank all our stakeholders for their continued trust."
In 2025, we were pleased to see our shareholder base grow, a sign of continued trust in our longterm strategy and direction. We demonstrated that our strategy continues to deliver tangible performance, even in the face of a demanding external environment, reinforcing our resilience and confidence in the future.
We would like to thank all our teams, who are committed to patient care and have contributed to the success of Straumann Group through their untiring efforts despite the ongoing challenges caused by the macroeconomic environment.
Our sincere thanks also go to our customers and partners for their trust and for continuously inspiring us to raise the bar and to you, our shareholders, for your ongoing support and confidence in our company.
Yours sincerely,
Petra Rumpf Guillaume Daniellot
Chair of the Board Chief Executive Officer
