Grounding quotes
  • “We're happy to report another great quarter with results ahead of our guidance for both revenue and adjusted EBITDA.”
  • “We are more confident than ever, not just that the transplant ecosystem sees value in our platform, but that the capabilities we bring, captive nationwide logistics integrated with device agnostic clinical support, are essential to solve the shortage of donor organs in this country.”
  • “Our 87% year-over-year revenue growth reflected organic growth of 32% in logistics, coupled with a particularly strong contribution from our new clinical business.”
  • “If we do see a continued recovery of deceased donors, we think there's upside to the number of transplants, which is great for the community, for everyone on the transplant waiting list, but we're not underwriting that in our guidance.”

Key takeaways

What improved, and what deserves a closer read.

Constructive signals

  • Revenue grew 87.4% YoY to $67.4 million, with logistics revenue up 32.4% and logistics gross profit up 29.9% YoY.
  • Clinical division contributed $19.8 million of revenue with sequential gross profit growth of 29.2% versus Q4 2025.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $6.4 million and net income from continuing operations of $2.4 million, both ahead of guidance.
  • Company generated operating cash flow and free cash flow before aircraft acquisitions in Q1, a first for the transformed model.
  • Completed bolt-on acquisition of Ohio Valley Perfusion Associates (~ $1 million value, ~$100K of adjusted EBITDA contribution); active M&A pipeline with several opportunities under exclusivity.
  • Deceased donor activity showed sequential improvement in Q4 2025 and more meaningful sequential improvement in Q1 2026; transplant growth re-accelerated from low single-digits to mid-single-digits.

Risks & pressure points

  • Deceased donors were still down year-over-year in Q1 2026 following 2025 media and regulatory scrutiny.
  • Logistics gross margin contracted 30 bps YoY to 19.3% even as logistics gross profit grew 29.9%.
  • SG&A rose 26.6% YoY to $15.6 million and amortization of intangibles jumped 264.2% to $1.5 million, contributing to an operating loss from continuing operations of $3.0 million.
  • Operating loss from continuing operations widened expense ratio despite revenue beat, with management guiding only modest sequential SG&A increases but ongoing investment.
  • Weather disruption at Teterboro (airport closed for several days in Q1) caused some negative impact on flight operations.
  • Modest reduction in average transport distance and shifts in OBO logistics mix flagged as quarter-to-quarter customer mix variability rather than structural, but a watch item.
