Avanos Medical, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2025 Results

ALPHARETTA, Ga., August 5, 2025/PRNewswire/ -- Avanos Medical, Inc. (NYSE: AVNS) today reported second quarter 2025 financial results.

“Building off our first quarter results, we delivered a strong second quarter anchored by continued healthy performance in our life-sustaining Specialty Nutrition Systems segment along with continued progress in our opioid-sparing Pain Management & Recovery segment,” said David Pacitti, Avanos’ chief executive officer. Pacitti continued, “Our overall execution this quarter was solid, and the steady progress we’ve made against each of our transformation priorities provides confidence in our ability to achieve the ranges of our 2025 financial guidance.”

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights

•Total net sales were $175.0 million, a 1.9% increase from the comparable prior year period.

•Net loss was $76.8 million, compared to net income from continuing operations of $4.3 million a year ago.

•Adjusted net income was $7.9 million, compared to $15.8 million a year ago.

•Diluted loss per share was $1.66, compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.09 a year ago.

•Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.17, compared to $0.34 a year ago.

•Adjusted EBITDA was $17.0 million, compared to $26.8 million a year ago.

Second Quarter of 2025 Operating Results

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, net sales totaled $175.0 million, an increase of 1.9% compared to the prior year period, due to continued strong demand and volume across our Specialty Nutrition Systems (“SNS”) portfolio and positive momentum in radiofrequency ablation (“RFA”) generator sales, which resulted in more RFA procedures. This was partially offset by lower volume in our surgical pain and recovery portfolio.

Gross margin during the second quarter of 2025 was 52.6%, compared to 55.7% in the prior year period. Adjusted gross margin was 55.7% compared to 59.6% last year. Gross profit margin decreased primarily due to the effects of higher tariffs and lower pricing for our hyaluronic acid (“HA”) products.

Selling and general expenses as a percentage of net sales was 47.7% for the second quarter of 2025, compared to 47.1% for the second quarter of 2024. On an adjusted basis, selling and general expenses as a percentage of net sales was 45.2% for the second quarter of 2025, compared to 43.0% for the second quarter of 2024. Selling and general expenses increased primarily due to post-divestiture restructuring costs that are included in “Corporate and Other.”

Operating loss in the second quarter of 2025 was $74.5 million, compared to operating profit of $6.3 million in the prior year period, primarily due to a goodwill impairment charge of $77.0 million. On an adjusted basis, operating profit was $12.2 million, compared to $21.8 million a year ago.

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was $17.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $26.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024.

First Six Months of 2025 Operating Results

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net sales were $342.5 million, an increase of 1.4% compared to the prior year period, driven by volume growth across the SNS portfolio and in RFA solutions and partially offset by lower volume in surgical pain and recovery.

Gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was 53.1%, compared to 56.4% in the prior year period. Adjusted gross margin was 56.2% compared to 59.7% last year and was impacted by higher tariffs and unfavorable pricing for our hyaluronic acid (“HA”) products, which are reported in “Corporate and Other.”

Selling and general expenses as a percentage of net sales were 46.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 48.7% for the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to lower costs associated with restructuring, transformation and divestiture-related transition activities. On an adjusted basis, selling and general expenses as a percentage of net sales was 44.3% for the first six months of 2025, unchanged from the prior year period.

Following a $77.0 million impairment charge to goodwill, operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $64.2 million, compared to an operating income of $10.3 million in the prior year period. On an adjusted basis, operating income for the second quarter was $29.3 million compared to $38.1 million in the prior year period.

Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $70.2 million, compared to net income from continuing operations of $4.8 million in the prior year period. Adjusted net income was $19.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $25.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $38.6 million, compared to $48.4 million in the prior year period.

Second Quarter 2025 Segment Results

Specialty Nutrition Systems (“SNS”)

The SNS segment delivered above-market results in the second quarter of 2025, achieving net sales of $102.7 million, an increase of $5.0 million compared to the prior year period, with 4.4% volume growth driven by continued strong demand across both our life-sustaining enteral feeding and neonate solutions categories. Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $18.0 million, or 18% of SNS net sales, a decrease of $3.8 million compared to the prior year period.

Pain Management & Recovery (“PM&R”)

The PM&R segment net sales for the second quarter of 2025 were $61.0 million, an increase of $1.7 million compared to the prior year period, with volume growth partially offset by the effects of certain revenue streams that we strategically decided not to pursue this year. Net sales of RFA products grew 13.7%, reflecting momentum in RFA generator sales, which resulted in more procedures, especially in the ESENTEC and TRIDENT product lines, designed to help patients get back to the things that matter. Net sales in surgical pain and recovery for the second quarter of 2025 were 9.4% lower than last year, in line with our expectations. Operating profit for the second quarter of 2025 was $1.8 million compared to $0.1 million last year.

First Six Months of 2025 Segment Results

Specialty Nutrition Systems (“SNS”)

The SNS segment delivered above-market results in the six months ended June 30, 2025, achieving net sales of $203.8 million, an increase of $11.5 million compared to the prior year period, with 6.5% volume growth driven by continued strong demand across both our enteral feeding and neonate solutions categories. Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $39.1 million, or 19.2% of SNS net sales, due to higher volume. This was an increase of $1.9 million compared to the prior year period.

Pain Management & Recovery (“PM&R”)

The PM&R segment net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were $117.2 million, an increase of $1.6 million compared to the prior year period, with volume growth partially offset by the effects of certain revenue streams that we strategically decided not to pursue this year. Net sales of RFA products grew 11.0%, reflecting momentum in RFA generator sales, which resulted in more procedures, especially in the ESENTEC and TRIDENT product lines. Net sales in surgical pain and recovery for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were 9.3% lower than last year, in line with our expectations. Operating profit for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $2.0 million compared to an operating loss of $2.0 million last year.

Non-Cash Goodwill Impairment

During the second quarter, due to downward pressure on our market capitalization, we assessed goodwill for impairment and recorded an impairment charge of $77.0 million in the PM&R segment.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

We had $90.3 million of cash on hand as of June 30, 2025 compared to $107.7 million at year-end 2024. Cash flow from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $32.5 million, compared to $19.8 million a year ago. Free cash flow for the second quarter of 2025 was a negative $4.2 million compared to an inflow of $21.9 million in the comparable prior year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, free cash flow was an inflow of $14.8 million, compared to $9.8 million a year ago. Total debt outstanding, net of unamortized discounts, was $105.1 million at June 30, 2025, compared to $134.7 million at December 31, 2024.

Sale of HA Product Line

On July 31, 2025, we announced the divestiture of our HA product line to Channel-Markers Medical, LLC, a privately held company. This transaction aligns with our ongoing transformation, which is focused on advancing our strategic segments in PM&R and SNS.

2025 Outlook

We are maintaining our 2025 estimated revenue of between $665 million and $685 million and our estimated adjusted diluted earnings per share to between $0.75 and $0.95 inclusive of the HA divestiture impact.

The guidance on adjusted diluted earnings per share range affirms the Company’s previous estimate of the impact of the tariffs. The estimate assumes that management’s mitigation plans will be able to moderate the impact of tariffs, including through cost containment measures, pricing actions where appropriate, supply chain adjustments and reliance on existing international agreements that allow for reduced or duty-free importation of products. Tariff rates continue to fluctuate, and if the final tariffs are higher than we anticipate, or if we are unable to successfully mitigate the impact of tariffs, the adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be material. The ultimate impact from any tariffs remains uncertain and will depend on various factors, including the level of our imports from China and Mexico, the level of tariff exemptions we are able to achieve, the proportion of our components procured and our finished goods manufactured outside of the United States, and the amount, scope, nature, timing and duration of the tariffs.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release and the accompanying tables include the following financial measures that have not been calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., or GAAP, and are therefore referred to as non-GAAP financial measures:

•Adjusted gross and operating income;

•Adjusted income before taxes;

•Adjusted effective tax rate;

•Adjusted net income;

•Adjusted diluted earnings per share;

•Adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses;

•Adjusted EBITDA; and

•Free cash flow.

These non-GAAP financial measures exclude the following items, as applicable, for the relevant time periods as indicated in the accompanying non-GAAP reconciliations to the comparable GAAP financial measures:

•Certain acquisition and integration charges related to acquisitions;

•Expenses associated with restructuring and transformation activities, including the divestiture of the Company’s respiratory health business;

•Expenses associated with European Union Medical Device Regulation (“EU MDR”) compliance;

•The amortization of intangible assets associated with prior business acquisitions;

•Impairments of intangibles or goodwill;

•The tax effects of certain adjusting items; and

•The positive or negative effect of changes in currency exchange rates during the year.

The Company provides these non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental information to its GAAP financial measures. Management and the Company’s board of directors use net sales on a constant currency basis, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted operating income, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow to: (a) evaluate the Company’s historical and prospective financial performance and its performance relative to its competitors, (b) allocate resources and (c) measure the operational performance of the Company’s business units and their managers. Management also believes that the use of an adjusted effective tax rate provides improved insight into the tax effects of the Company’s ongoing business operations.

Additionally, the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors will use certain of the non-GAAP financial measures when setting and assessing achievement of incentive compensation goals. These goals are based, in part, on the Company’s net sales on a constant currency basis and adjusted EBITDA, which will be determined by excluding certain items that are used in calculating these non-GAAP financial measures.

Our competitors may define these non-GAAP financial measures differently, and as a result, our measure of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be directly comparable to those of other companies. Items excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent, and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or substitute for, the financial statement data presented in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as indicators of financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using these non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental information.

Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the attached financial tables.
