Orthofix Reports First Quarter 2026 Results Highlighting Steady Execution Following Spine Commercial Channel Actions; Reaffirms Full-Year 2026 Financial Guidance

Orthofix Medical Inc. (NASDAQ:OFIX), a leading global medical technology company, today reported its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, reflecting steady execution following recent spine commercial channel actions. Based on first-quarter performance, the Company reaffirmed its full-year 2026 financial guidance. All pro forma measures contained within this release exclude the impact of the Company's decision to discontinue its M6™ product lines.

Highlights

• First quarter 2026 reported net sales of $196.7 million, including sales from M6 artificial cervical and lumbar discs. Non-GAAP pro forma net sales of $196.4 million, excluding sales from M6 discs, increased 3% year over year on a constant currency basis, reflecting steady execution during the final stages of distributor transitions, with further improvement expected as productivity increases.
• Global Spine Fixation¹ delivered reported net sales growth of 6% and constant currency growth of 6% compared to the prior year period, including U.S. Spine Fixation growth of 4%, driven by enhanced commercial focus, deeper procedural penetration, and continuing benefits from distributor transition initiatives.
• Therapeutic Solutions (formerly Bone Growth Therapies) achieved year-over-year net sales growth of 5%, supported by continued demand across the portfolio and effective commercial execution.
• Global Limb Reconstruction reported net sales growth of 10% and constant currency growth of 3% compared to the prior year period, reflecting continued demand for core fixation and reconstruction systems.
• First quarter 2026 reported net loss of $(20.9) million and non-GAAP pro forma adjusted EBITDA of $9.7 million, reflecting impacts from geography mix and commercial transitions.

"Our first-quarter results reflect steady execution as we complete key spine commercial channel actions and sharpen our strategic focus," said Massimo Calafiore, President and Chief Executive Officer. "While the quarter continued to absorb the impact of these transitions, most notably in biologics, we saw improved commercial focus and operating discipline as the quarter progressed."

Mr. Calafiore continued, "Importantly, distributor transitions are now largely behind us, providing greater visibility for the remainder of the year. As we move through 2026, our priorities are clear: driving more consistent commercial execution, advancing targeted innovation across our portfolio, and expanding margins through disciplined operational management. With recent spine leadership changes, a renewed focus on advancing our biologics portfolio, and planned product launches later this year, we believe Orthofix is positioned to deliver more consistent growth, expand margins, and generate strong free cash flow to support long-term shareholder value."

Financial Results Overview

First Quarter 2026 Net Sales and Financial Results

The following table provides net sales by major product category and by reporting segment on a pro forma basis, removing the effects of the Company's discontinued M6 product lines:

For the first quarter of 2026, net sales were $196.7 million, including sales from M6 artificial cervical and lumbar discs, and non-GAAP pro forma net sales were $196.4 million, excluding sales from M6 discs, representing an increase of 1.6% on a reported basis and 2.7% on a non-GAAP pro forma constant currency basis compared to first quarter 2025.

For the first quarter of 2026, GAAP gross margins were 70.9% and were 70.7% on a non-GAAP pro forma adjusted basis.

For the first quarter of 2026, reported net loss was $(20.9) million, or $(0.52) per share compared to reported net loss of $(53.1) million, or $(1.35) per share in the prior year period. Non-GAAP pro forma adjusted EBITDA was $9.7 million, or 4.9% of pro forma net sales, in the first quarter of 2026, compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted EBITDA of $11.4 million, or 6.0% of pro forma net sales, in the first quarter of 2025.

Liquidity

Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash on March 31, 2026, totaled $120.9 million compared to $85.1 million on December 31, 2025. The cash increase was a result of financing activities during the quarter.

Business Outlook

Based on first-quarter performance and current visibility, the Company is reaffirming its full-year 2026 financial guidance. This outlook reflects expectations for improved execution through the remainder of the year, including contributions from recent and planned product launches, balanced against ongoing macro and operational considerations.

• Net sales expected to range between $850 million to $860 million. The Company's expected net sales represent implied year-over-year pro forma constant currency growth of approximately 5.5% at the midpoint of the range. This guidance range is based on current foreign currency exchange rates and does not take into account any additional potential exchange rate changes that may occur this year.
• Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA expected to be $95 million to $98 million. This represents 70 basis points of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin expansion at the midpoint of the range compared to 2025.
• Free cash flow expected to be positive for full-year 2026, excluding the impact of any potential legal settlements, supported by margin improvement initiatives.

Forward-looking statements in this communication include the Company's expectations regarding net sales, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2026. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of our future performance, are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions, and are subject to risks, uncertainties and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict, including the risks described in Part I, Item 1A under the heading Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and in Part II, Item 1A under the heading Risk Factors in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. Factors that could cause future results to differ from those expressed by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, (i) our ability to maintain operations to support our customers and patients in the near-term and to capitalize on future growth opportunities, (ii) risks associated with acceptance of surgical products and procedures by surgeons and hospitals, (iii) development and acceptance of new products or product enhancements, (iv) clinical and statistical verification of the benefits achieved via the use of our products, (v) our ability to adequately manage inventory, (vi) our ability to successfully optimize our commercial channels, (vii) our success in defending legal proceedings brought against us, and (viii) the other risks and uncertainties more fully described in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date hereof, unless it is specifically otherwise stated to be made as of a different date. The Company undertakes no obligation to update, and expressly disclaims any duty to update, its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of circumstances or events that arise after the date hereof, new information, or otherwise, except as required by law.

The Company is unable to provide expectations of GAAP net income (loss), the closest comparable GAAP measures to adjusted EBITDA (which is a non-GAAP measure), on a forward-looking basis because the Company is unable to predict, without unreasonable efforts, the ultimate outcome of matters (including acquisition-related expenses, accounting fair value adjustments, and other such items) that will determine the quantitative amount of the items excluded in calculating adjusted EBITDA, which items are further described in the reconciliation tables and related descriptions below. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to the Company's results computed in accordance with GAAP.

For further information regarding the nature of these exclusions, why the Company 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 press release filed today with the SEC available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov and on the "Investors" page of the Company's website at www.orthofix.com.
