Integra LifeSciences Reports Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results

PRINCETON, N.J., Oct. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation (Nasdaq: IART), a leading global medical technology company, today reported financial results for the third quarter ending September 30, 2026.

Third Quarter 2026 Highlights

• Third quarter revenues of $411.2 million increased 2.3% on a reported basis and 2.5% on an organic basis compared to the prior year. Results included an approximate $7 million revenue impact related to flood damage at the Company’s Cincinnati facility.
  
  
• Third quarter GAAP earnings per diluted share of $0.19, compared to $(0.07) in the prior year.
  
  
• Adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.59, compared to $0.54 in the prior year.
  
  
• Generated operating cash flow of $96.0 million and reduced the consolidated total leverage ratio to 3.8x.
  
  
• Subsequent to quarter-end, completed a $2.1 billion debt refinancing that extended debt maturities and enhanced financial flexibility.
  
  
• 2026 full-year revenue guidance of $1.634 billion to $1.654 billion and adjusted earnings per share guidance of $2.30 to $2.40, consistent with the outlook provided on October 2, 2026.
  

"Our third quarter performance reflected mixed results across our portfolio, with stronger performance in Specialty Surgery partially offset by a $7 million impact from the Cincinnati disruption and softer-than-expected results in Tissue Reconstruction. We delivered results within our guidance ranges, generated strong cash flow, reduced leverage, and subsequently completed our debt refinancing," said Stuart Essig, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

"Our updated outlook reflects both the recovery timeline in Cincinnati and more measured expectations for portions of our Tissue Reconstruction business. We are focused on executing against these challenges while continuing to support our customers, advance key product launches and returns, and strengthen the business for more consistent long-term growth."                             

Third Quarter 2026 Consolidated Performance

Total reported revenues of $411.2 million increased 2.3% on a reported basis and 2.5% on an organic basis compared to the prior year.

The Company reported GAAP gross margin of 51.0%, compared to 51.5% in the third quarter of 2025. Adjusted gross margin was 61.1%, compared to 62.9% in the prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2026 was $79.8 million, or 19.4% of revenue, compared to $78.5 million, or 19.5% of revenue, in the prior year.

The Company reported GAAP net income of $14.9 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2026, compared to GAAP net loss of $(5.4) million, or $(0.07) per diluted share, in the prior year.

Adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2026 was $46.4 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, compared to $41.6 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, in the prior year.

Third Quarter 2026 Segment Performance

Specialty Surgery (~70% of Revenues)

Total revenues were $304.1 million, representing reported growth of 3.9% and an organic growth of 4.2% compared to the third quarter of 2025. Results were impacted by approximately $7 million related to flood damage at the Company’s Cincinnati facility.

• Sales in Neuro increased 6.5% on an organic basis primarily driven by growth in CereLink®, Certas® Plus, Bactiseal®, DuraSeal® and recovery in cranial perforators.
• Sales in Instruments declined (0.9%) on an organic basis due to order timing.
• ENT sales declined (1.1%), largely due to a low-single digit decline in sinus balloons.
  

Tissue Reconstruction (~30% of Revenues)

Total revenues were $107.1 million, representing reported and organic decline of (2.2)% compared to the third quarter of 2025. Key drivers for the quarter include:

• Low-single digit decline in wound reconstruction, with strong growth in DuraSorb® and PriMatrix®, offset by declines in MicroMatrix® and Integra Skin.
• Beginning this quarter, we are referring to our Private Label business as Corporate Partnerships, a name that better reflects the nature of these customer relationships. Corporate Partnerships, was approximately flat compared to the third quarter of last year.

Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and Capital Allocation

The Company generated cash flow from operations of $96.0 million in the quarter. Net debt at the end of the quarter was $1.5 billion, and the consolidated total leverage ratio was 3.8x.

As of the end of the quarter, the Company had total liquidity of approximately $559 million, including $311.9 million in cash plus short-term investments and the remainder available under its revolving credit facility.

Debt Refinancing and Enhanced Financial Flexibility

On October 19, 2026, the Company completed a $2.1 billion debt refinancing consisting of a $1.65 billion senior secured credit facility and $450 million aggregate principal amount of 9.5% senior secured notes due 2033. The new credit facility consists of a $600 million Term Loan A, a $600 million revolving credit facility, and a $450 million Term Loan B.

The Company used the proceeds from the refinancing to repay its existing credit facilities and pay related fees and expenses. The transaction extended the Company’s debt maturity profile, enhanced financial flexibility, and supports the Company's continued focus on cash generation and deleveraging. Additional information regarding the refinancing is available in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Related to the refinancing, the amended debt covenants provide additional near-term covenant capacity by temporarily increasing the Company’s maximum allowable net leverage ratio from its current level followed by scheduled step-downs to 4.25x during 2027. Under the previous covenants the step down for 2027 was to 4.0x. The Company expects the increase in its effective interest rate to be near the high end of the previously communicated 100- to 200-basis-point range.

2026 Revenue and Adjusted Earnings Per Share Guidance

For the fourth quarter of 2026, the Company expects reported revenues in the range of $413 million to $433 million, representing a reported decline of -5.2% to -0.5% and an organic decline of -5.1% to -0.4%. The Company expects adjusted earnings per diluted share in the range of $0.61 to $0.71.

For the full year 2026, the Company expects revenues in the range of $1.634 billion to $1.654 billion representing reported growth of -0.1% to 1.2% and organic growth of -0.3% to 0.9%. The Company expects adjusted earnings per diluted share in the range of $2.30 to $2.40. The Company continues to expect operating cash flow of approximately $190 million to $200 million for the full year. These expectations are consistent with the preliminary results and updated guidance provided on October 2, 2026.

The updated fourth quarter and full-year outlook reflects the expected revenue impact of the Cincinnati disruption, an updated outlook for Tissue Reconstruction performance, and a consistent outlook for Specialty Surgery. The adjusted earnings per diluted share outlook also reflects business interruption insurance recoveries for lost revenue related to the Cincinnati disruption and incremental interest expense associated with the refinancing.

Discussion of Adjusted Financial Measures
In addition to our GAAP results, we provide certain non-GAAP measures, including organic revenues, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), adjusted net income, adjusted gross margin, adjusted earnings per diluted share, and net debt. Organic revenues consist of total revenues excluding the effects of currency exchange rates, revenues from current-period acquisitions and product divestitures. Adjusted EBITDA consists of GAAP net income excluding: (i) depreciation and amortization; (ii) other income (expense); (iii) interest income and expense; (iv) income tax expense (benefit); (v) impairment charges; and (vi) those operating expenses also excluded from adjusted net income.   The measure of adjusted net income consists of GAAP net income, excluding: (i) structural optimization charges; (ii) divestiture, acquisition and integration-related charges; (iii) EU Medical Device Regulation-related charges; (iv) charges related to the transition of Boston-related manufacturing operations to the Company’s Braintree, Massachusetts facility (the "Braintree transition"); (v) charges related to the flooding of the Company’s Cincinnati, Ohio manufacturing facility, including inventory losses, asset write-offs, remediation costs, plant restart costs and other directly related costs, net of associated insurance reimbursements, as applicable (the “Cincinnati flood and recovery”); (vi) intangible asset amortization expense; (vii) income tax impact from adjustments; and (vii) impairment charges. The measure of adjusted gross margin is calculated by dividing adjusted gross profit by total revenues. Adjusted gross profit consists of GAAP gross profit adjusted for: (i) structural optimization charges; (ii) divestiture, acquisition and integration-related charges; (iii) charges related to Braintree transition; (iv) EU Medical Device Regulation-related charges; (v) charges related to the Cincinnati flood and recovery; and (vi) intangible asset amortization expense. The adjusted earnings per diluted share measure is calculated by dividing adjusted net income attributable to diluted shares by diluted weighted average shares outstanding. The measure of net debt consists of GAAP total debt (excluding deferred financing costs) less short-term investments, cash and cash equivalents.

The Company has included reconciliations of GAAP revenues to organic revenues, GAAP net income to adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted net income, GAAP gross margin to adjusted gross margin, and GAAP earnings per diluted share to adjusted earnings per diluted share all for the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. The Company has included a reconciliation of GAAP total debt to net debt for the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.  

The Company is providing forward-looking guidance regarding organic revenue and adjusted earnings per diluted share but is not providing reconciliations to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures because certain GAAP expense items and the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates are highly variable and management is unable to predict them with reasonable certainty and without unreasonable effort. Specifically, the actual impact of changes in foreign exchange rates and the financial impact and timing of divestitures, acquisitions, integrations, structural optimization, efforts to comply with the EU Medical Device Regulation, and income tax impact from adjustments are uncertain, depend on various dynamic factors and are not reasonably ascertainable at this time. The unavailable information could have a material impact on GAAP results.

The Company believes that the presentation of organic revenues and the other non-GAAP measures provide important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the Company's financial condition and results of operations.   For further information regarding why Integra believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors, the specific manner in which management uses these measures, and some of the limitations associated with the use of these measures, please refer to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K regarding this earnings press release filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This Current Report on Form 8-K is available on the SEC's website at   www.sec.gov or on our website at www.integralife.com.
