Key takeaways

What improved, and what deserves a closer read.

Constructive signals

  • Worldwide revenue grew 14.3% (12.8% constant currency) to $141.2 million, with U.S. revenue accelerating to 14.9% growth
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $17.1 million was up 95% year-over-year and net income turned breakeven versus a $0.14 loss per share in Q1 2025
  • Pain management franchise revenue grew 28% year-over-year, with cryoSPHERE MAX probe contributing roughly 70% of pain management sales
  • Appendage management franchise grew 16% worldwide, with AtriClip FLEX-Mini reaching approximately 40% of U.S. open appendage management revenue
  • BoxX-NoAF clinical trial enrolled approximately 300 patients and is now expected to complete enrollment around year-end 2026, nearly one year ahead of plan
  • STS announced concomitant Afib treatment as a quality metric with a 70% target, expected to drive adoption uplift beginning in 2027

Risks & pressure points

  • Minimally invasive ablation franchise continued to face headwinds in the first quarter
  • International revenue grew only 11.5% reported (3.3% constant currency), with management noting some Q1 gross margin favorability is transient due to international mix
  • Accelerated BoxX-NoAF enrollment into 2026 brings incremental costs that the company is absorbing while holding the bottom-line guidance unchanged despite the Q1 beat
  • Full-year 2026 adjusted EPS guidance of $0.00 to $0.04 implies breakeven to only modestly positive earnings per share
  • U.S. open ablation growth, while 17.3% in the quarter, was noted by management as approaching the 4-year anniversary of full market launch for EnCompass

“we have made exceptional progress in our BoxX-NoAF clinical trial. Since initiating trial enrollment in the fourth quarter of last year, we have enrolled approximately 300 total patients. To date in this 960-patient randomized controlled trial, we are tracking well ahead of our original timeline and now expect to complete enrollment around the end of this year, nearly 1 year ahead of plan.” Michael Carrel, CEO
