Exclusive co-promotion agreement combines AROA's regenerative tissue technology with Mölnlycke's wound care expertise and commercial reach

AUCKLAND, New Zealand, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Aroa Biosurgery Limited (ASX: ARX), a soft tissue regeneration company, has entered into an exclusive agreement with Mölnlycke Healthcare US to co-promote Endoform™ in U.S. post-acute settings, effective October 16, 2026.

The agreement combines Endoform and AROA's proprietary AROA ECM™ technology with Mölnlycke's established wound care expertise and commercial reach. It is intended to bring Endoform to more clinicians and patients and support the product's continued growth.

AROA retains ownership of Endoform and AROA ECM technology and will continue to manufacture, distribute and supply the product. The arrangement also allows AROA to focus its resources on growing Myriad™ adoption in surgical settings and pursuing the opportunity for Symphony™ in outpatient wound care.

"We welcome the opportunity to partner with Mölnlycke, a well-established advanced wound care business known for excellence," said Brian Ward, AROA Founder and CEO. "Mölnlycke's deep expertise in wound care and broad commercial footprint provide a strong platform to bring Endoform to more clinicians and patients.

"This arrangement also allows us to concentrate our efforts on AROA's strategic priorities — sustaining Myriad's growth and pursuing the significant opportunity for Symphony, while continuing to manufacture and supply Endoform."

"Improving wound care requires strong partnerships and continued innovation," said Craig Kennedy, Mölnlycke VP Americas. "Our collaboration with AROA reflects a shared commitment to advancing clinical practice, supporting healthcare professionals, and improving patient outcomes. By adding Endoform to our advanced wound dressing portfolio, we're expanding the solutions available to clinicians and addressing the diverse needs of the patients they serve."

The agreement relates solely to Endoform in U.S. post-acute settings. AROA's other product portfolios and commercial arrangements, including Endoform distribution outside the United States, remain unchanged.

AROA's FY27 financial guidance remains unchanged at NZ$115–125 million in total revenue and NZ$8–11 million in normalized EBITDA.*
