Awards Recognize Innovations in Infection Measures, AI-Driven Recovery and Surgeon Engagement across Asia Pacific.

SINGAPORE, March 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Zimmer Biomet (NYSE and SIX: ZBH), a global medical technology leader, today announced it received three awards at the Healthcare Asia Medtech Awards 2026, recognizing the company’s innovations across orthopedic product development, digital health and surgeon engagement.

Zimmer Biomet earned honors in the following categories:

• Orthopedic Product Innovation Award for its new iodine-treated hip implant;
• Digital Innovation of the Year in Australia for its WalkAI knee replacement recovery tracking platform; and
• Marketing & Communications Initiative of the Year in Thailand for its You’ll Be Back awareness campaign featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger as the company’s Chief Movement Officer.

“These awards reflect the strength of Zimmer Biomet’s innovation and the relevance of our solutions across Asia Pacific,” said Sang Yi, Group President, Asia Pacific. “From addressing infection risk with advanced implant technologies, to enabling more proactive, data-driven recoveries and strengthening how we engage surgeons, we are focused on solving the most meaningful health care challenges and improving outcomes for patients across the region.”

Advancing Infection Measures in Orthopedics
Zimmer Biomet received the Orthopedic Product Innovation Award for its implants treated with iodine technology, the iTaperloc Complete and iG7 Hip System. These implants are designed to inhibit bacterial adhesion^1,2 and reduce the risk of periprosthetic joint infection, a serious complication affecting approximately 1%–2% of primary procedures.³

Iodine, a biocompatible nutrient, helps prevent biofilm formation without contributing to antibiotic resistance.^4,5 The technology has received regulatory recognition globally, including approval from Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in September 2025 and Breakthrough Device Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in October 2025.

Advancing Recovery Through AI
Zimmer Biomet’s WalkAI platform received the Digital Innovation of the Year – Australia award. The application uses artificial intelligence to analyze real-world mobility data and predict a patient’s 90-day gait speed following total knee replacement surgery.

By identifying deviations in recovery between days 15 and 40 post-surgery, a typically “lower-touch” period in care, WalkAI is designed to flag patients who may not be recovering as expected and enable earlier clinical intervention. This added visibility allows surgeons to prioritize patients who may require closer monitoring or adjustments to rehabilitation, helping reduce the risk of complications.

The platform is currently used by more than 180 surgeons across Australia and New Zealand to support over 20,000 knee replacement patients, demonstrating strong clinical adoption and scalability in practice.

Raising Awareness of Movement and Treatment Options
The Marketing & Communications Initiative of the Year – Thailand award recognized the “You’ll Be Back” campaign, which builds on Zimmer Biomet’s partnership with Arnold Schwarzenegger as the company’s Chief Movement Officer.

Launched at the Royal College of Orthopaedic Surgeons of Thailand Annual Conference, the campaign was adapted specifically for a highly regulated market through close collaboration across corporate communications, marketing, legal and compliance teams. Rather than focusing on product promotion, the initiative centered on the importance of movement and aimed to raise awareness of available treatment options for people living with pain.

The message resonated strongly by shifting conversations beyond products toward recovery, longevity and quality of life. The campaign significantly increased engagement, with booth interactions tripling year over year and strong resonance among surgeons.

The Healthcare Asia Medtech Awards recognize leading companies and innovations across the region, highlighting advancements in medical devices, digital health and patient care solutions.

Scaling Digital Transformation: Innovation with Trust

14 April 2026 | Sofitel, Sydney

SYDNEY, March 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Australia continues to position itself as a global leader in digital innovation, with organisations across industries rapidly embracing cloud computing, digital banking, artificial intelligence, and large-scale digital transformation initiatives. While these advancements are driving economic growth and operational efficiency, they are also expanding the cyber threat landscape—making cybersecurity resilience a critical priority for enterprises and government institutions alike.

Ranked among the world’s leading cyber nations, Australia is currently the fifth most powerful cyber nation globally. This position is supported by a rapidly growing cybersecurity market, valued at USD 7.09 billion in 2024 and projected to reach USD 16.52 billion by 2029. However, the nation’s expanding digital footprint also presents increasing risks, with cybercrime incidents reported approximately every seven minutes—highlighting the urgent need for stronger cyber defence mechanisms and proactive security strategies.

Curated by Exito Media Concepts—a global leader in B2B technology platforms—the Cyber Security Summit Australia brings together cybersecurity leaders, government representatives, and industry experts to foster strategic discussions on strengthening Australia’s cyber resilience. By combining global best practices with regional insights, the summit supports organisations in building robust security frameworks while enabling secure and sustainable digital innovation.

As businesses across Australia accelerate digital adoption, protecting sensitive data, securing critical infrastructure, and ensuring regulatory compliance have become top priorities for both public and private sector organisations. The increasing sophistication of cyber threats—from ransomware attacks and phishing campaigns to advanced persistent threats—is compelling enterprises to rethink their cybersecurity strategies and adopt more proactive, intelligence-driven security models.

HONG KONG, March 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Unisound (09678.HK) announced its audited annual results for the year ended December 31, 2025. As the Company’s first annual results announcement since listing, it underscores strong growth momentum and continued improvement in its financial profile.

Revenue Mix Continues to Improve, with Faster Growth in H2

For the full year of 2025, Unisound achieved total revenue of $175 million, representing a year-on-year (YoY) increase of 29%. Revenue in the second half of the year increased by 33% YoY to $117 million.

It is worth noting that the Company’s large language model (LLM) business generated a full-year revenue of $88.43 million, surging by over 10 times YoY. In particular, this business contributed approximately $72.49 million in H2 revenue, five times the level recorded in H1, demonstrating a compelling capacity for large-scale commercial application.

Losses Narrowed Significantly, Making the Path to Profitability Increasingly Clear

Alongside the rapid revenue growth, the Company’s losses improved markedly. In the second half of 2025, the Company’s net loss narrowed by 84% YoY, and its adjusted loss narrowed by 92% YoY, approaching break-even. This reflects the Company’s ongoing improvements in cost control and operational efficiency.

Simultaneously, some of the Company’s operating metrics saw marked improvement. The adjusted expense ratio declined significantly by 10 percentage points YoY, while selling expenses decreased rather than increased and accounted for only 5.4%, highlighting a clear improvement in cost-to-efficiency ratio. In 2025, revenue per employee reached $365,300, up 25% YoY from $292,900 in 2024. Employee productivity continued to lead the industry, clearly underscoring the Company’s core strengths in technology-driven, lean operations.

Dual-Engine Strategy Gains Traction, with AI in Healthcare and AI in Daily Life Advancing in Tandem

In 2025, driven by both technological breakthroughs and policy tailwinds, global demand for AI continued to rise. Unisound adhered to its “Strong Foundation Model + Deep Application” strategy, continued to strengthen its multimodal technology foundation, and drove the continuous elevation of the global influence of its proprietary large model matrix in fields such as healthcare, speech, and OCR.

On the commercialization front, the Company leveraged its AI-native organization to accelerate business execution, and its dual-engine strategy in AI in Healthcare and AI in Daily Life delivered notable results. During the reporting period:

The AI in Daily Life business achieved revenue of $140 million, a YoY increase of 30.8%. Among this, the Transportation segment recorded nearly 40% YoY growth. At present, AI agent applications based on the Shanhai large model have been deployed in more than 10 cities, including Qingdao, Ningbo, Shenzhen and Nanning. In addition, cumulative AI chip shipments exceeded 110 million units, further validating the Company’s scale capabilities in endpoint AI products.

The AI in Healthcare business achieved revenue of $35.38 million, a YoY increase of 22.3%, with average revenue per customer growing by 53.2% YoY. In 2025, over 70% of the hospitals the Company collaborated with were tertiary hospitals, and more than one-third of customers had maintained continuous cooperation for over three years. The medical-record entry and generation products powered by the medical large model delivered a 10-fold YoY increase in full-annual medical record generation at a single campus of a leading Class III hospital. The commercial insurance AI agent platform recorded a 37-fold YoY increase in case processing volume. In deep cooperation with a leading insurance group, the expense control rate was effectively raised to approximately 20%, delivering more than $145 million in incremental cost management compared with traditional review methods, comprehensively empowering insurance institutions to refine their medical risk management operations.

Continued R&D Investment Strengthens the Technology Moat

To consolidate its industry-leading position, the Company continued to invest heavily in R&D in 2025. Full-year R&D expenses exceeded $55.09 million, accounting for 75% of the Company’s adjusted operating expenses, while R&D personnel accounted for 69% of the total workforce. This sustained investment drove breakthroughs across multiple technology areas. For example, in the MedBench 4.0 evaluation, the Company ranked first place in three technical paradigms: “Medical AI Agent,” “Medical Large Language Model,” and “Medical Multimodal Large Model,” earning a “Triple Crown.”

Outlook: Deepening the Technological Foundation and Expanding Application Boundaries

Looking ahead, Unisound will continue to deepen its “Strong Foundation Model + Deep Application” strategy. On the technological front, the Company will continue to increase strategic investment in foundational large models and strive to maintain a world-class level. On the application front, it will use the large-scale expansion of MaaS (Model-as-a-Service) and AI agents as its core growth engine, driving exponential growth in its AI in Daily Life and AI in Healthcare businesses. Meanwhile, the Company is actively exploring the establishment of a recurring revenue system through models such as API calls and Token-based billing, and regards opportunities in consumer-facing (C-end) products as a second growth curve to further expand its commercialization boundaries.

Between Q2 and Q3 2026, Unisound will launch a native AI agent large model for programming and office applications, which is expected to double both intelligence density and token production efficiency.
