Auna Announces Preliminary Update to Full-Year 2026 Outlook
Company Will Host Investor Day Today
Luxembourg - October 22, 2026 - Auna S.A. (“Auna” or the “Company”) (NYSE: AUNA), a Latin American healthcare company with operations in Mexico, Peru and Colombia, announced today a preliminary update to its full-year 2026 outlook.
Consistent with the recently disclosed operating KPIs that reflect favorable volume and specialty service trends in the third-quarter of 2026, the Company expects full-year 2026 revenue growth to be in line with the guidance communicated early in the year. The revenue guidance is supported by a continued strong recovery in Mexico during the second half of the year.
During its second-quarter 2026 earnings call, the Company indicated that, excluding one-time effects primarily related to payor billing penalties associated with reconciliations of prior years’ receivables, full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA growth was expected to be at the lower end of its previously announced guidance range of 10% to 14% FX-neutral.
Subsequently, a specific payor contract in Colombia has resulted in additional temporary cost pressure due to an unexpected high incidence of advanced-stage cancer cases within the covered population. Accordingly, based on management’s current assessment, the Company now expects consolidated Adjusted EBITDA performance to be broadly stable year over year, compared with the growth contemplated in its previous guidance.
Capital expenditures remain within previously communicated guidance of approximately 4.0% of consolidated revenue, while Free Cash Flow and leverage continue to evolve favorably.
The Company is completing its review of the implications of the aforementioned payor contract on full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA and will provide additional details during its upcoming third-quarter 2026 earnings call.

Today the Company will host an Investor Day in a hybrid format from 9:00am ET to 1:00pm ET.
