“We are excited to announce the acquisition of BIOTRONIK’s Vascular Intervention business, which we anticipate will significantly enhance our global presence in the cath lab, expand our suite of innovative technologies, and improve patient care” said Liam Kelly, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Teleflex. “We believe the acquisition will allow us to position this advanced coronary portfolio alongside our existing Interventional business and establish our global footprint in the fast-growing peripheral intervention market. In particular, the acquired coronary products will be highly complementary to our well-established complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) platform and expand and enhance the legacy Interventional salesforce and offerings by combining existing Teleflex access products with the Vascular Intervention therapeutic devices. The acquired business is rooted in robust research and development, clinical expertise, and global manufacturing capabilities, which we believe will further bolster Teleflex’s innovation pipeline, and position the company to participate in the emerging potential for resorbable scaffold technologies. We believe the acquired business will be a meaningful contributor to our growth in the coming years, diversify our geographic revenue mix with 50% of the acquired revenues generated in EMEA

, and provide additional scale for investment into innovation.”
The acquired Vascular Intervention business consists of a comprehensive and differentiated portfolio for coronary and peripheral interventions performed in the cath lab and interventional radiology suites. In coronary vascular interventions, key products include the Pantera™ Lux™ Drug-Coated Balloon Catheter, the novel PK Papyrus™ Covered Coronary Stent for acute coronary artery perforations, and the Orsiro™ Mission Drug Eluting Stent, an ultrathin drug-eluting stent with differentiated clinical features. For peripheral interventions, the portfolio includes the Passeo™-18 Lux™ Peripheral Drug-Coated Balloon Catheter, Dynetic™-35 Balloon-Expandable Cobalt Chromium Stent, and the Pulsar™-18 T3 Self-Expanding 4F Stent.
The acquisition of the Vascular Intervention business will also allow Teleflex the opportunity to invest in and expand the clinical trial program for BIOTRONIK’s Freesolve™, a sirolimus-eluting Resorbable Metallic Scaffold (RMS) technology, including possible pursuit of the U.S. market. Freesolve™, which received its CE Mark in February 2024, is indicated in CE-mark accepting countries for de novo coronary artery lesions. The combination of temporary scaffolding with drug delivery is anticipated to address the current trend in interventional coronary and endovascular procedures toward leaving behind less permanent hardware. As demonstrated in the BIOMAG-I study, Freesolve™ RMS demonstrated resorption after 12 months, a target lesion failure rate comparable to contemporary drug-eluting stents, and no definite or probable scaffold thrombosis.

The European pivotal BIOMAG-II study is now enrolling.
Teleflex’s established peer-to-peer education, patient outreach, and clinical platform for its existing Interventional business will be further leveraged by the acquired portfolio of coronary vascular and peripheral vascular intervention devices.
As the interventional cardiology and peripheral intervention markets grow on a global basis, Teleflex anticipates that this acquisition will enhance its offerings to cardiac and peripheral care specialists, while significantly advancing its corporate growth objectives.
Vascular Intervention Acquisition Financial Outlook
The acquired BIOTRONIK products delivered a constant currency revenue CAGR of 5.4% from 2022 to 2024. The acquired products are expected to generate approximately €91 million in revenues in the fourth quarter of 2025. Beginning in 2026, the BIOTRONIK acquisition is expected to deliver constant currency revenue growth of 6% or better.
Excluding non-recurring purchase accounting items and other acquisition and integration related costs, the transaction is expected to be approximately $0.10 accretive to the Company’s adjusted earnings per share in the first year of ownership from the date of close, and to be increasingly accretive, thereafter.
Teleflex plans to initially finance the acquisition through a new term loan and revolving borrowings under its existing senior credit facility and cash on hand.
Additionally, the Company entered into foreign exchange derivative contracts to economically hedge against the foreign currency exposure associated with the cash consideration needed to complete the acquisition.
