Consolidated Cash flow generation continued to be a key highlight in the second quarter of 2026. Operating cash flow increased by 45% year-over-year, while free cash flow grew by 181%, driven by disciplined working capital management and improved payor collections. Despite initial margin pressure, our leverage ratio improved to 3.6x, underscoring the resilience of our business model and supporting our progress toward a medium-term target of below 3.0x.

Capital expenditures guidance remains unchanged at approximately 4% of revenues. Although we did not provide formal free cash flow guidance, we expect it to exceed our original internal expectations, supported by strong working capital management and improved collections, further supporting our deleveraging path.
Overview of 2Q26 Consolidated Results
Revenues in 2Q26 increased 9% FXN and 13% YoY on a reported basis to S/1,238 million, with revenues in local currency (“LC”) increasing across all segments: 4% in
Adjusted EBITDA in 2Q26 decreased 9% FXN, or 6% YoY on a reported basis, to S/227 million, with an Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 18.4%. In LC, Segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased 16% in
Reported results were impacted by foreign exchange fluctuations, specifically, a 5% appreciation of the Mexican Peso (“MXN”) and a 9% appreciation of the Colombian Peso (“COP”) against the PEN.
Net finance costs for 2Q26 were S/105 million, compared to S/46 million in 2Q25. Excluding foreign exchange effects, net finance costs totaled S/113 million in 2Q26, compared to S/115 million in 2Q25, reflecting a YoY decrease of S/2 million, or 1%. When also excluding the non-cash impact related to the future purchase obligation for IMAT Oncomedica, which began affecting finance expenses in 3Q25, net finance costs decreased by S/4 million. The increase in reported net finance costs primarily reflected lower non-cash FX gain of S/8 million, compared to a non-cash gain of S/68 million in 2Q25.
Net Income for 2Q26 was S/33 million compared to S/84 million in 2Q25. The decline was primarily driven by a S/61 million decrease in positive non-cash FX impact on net finance costs compared to the prior-year period. On a per-share basis, Net Income was S/0.40, based on a weighted average of 74,237,368 basic and diluted shares.
Adjusted Net Income for 2Q26 was S/40 million, compared to S/89 million in 2Q25. The decline reflects the same FX-driven variance on the net finance costs described above. As mentioned in previous quarters, the FX volatility has been reduced by resetting the levels on USD PEN hedges after the refinancing exercise at the end of 2025. On a per-share basis, Adjusted Net Income was S/0.50, based on a weighted average of 74,237,368 basic and diluted shares.
