by Tristan Rich · The Markets DailyOrthoPediatrics (NASDAQ:KIDS – Get Free Report) released its earnings results on Tuesday. The company reported ($0.26) EPS for the quarter, beating the consensus estimate of ($0.30) by $0.04, FiscalAI reports. The company had revenue of $70.51 million during the quarter, compared to analysts’ expectations of $68.21 million. OrthoPediatrics had a negative return on equity of 7.01% and a negative net margin of 16.31%.
Here are the key takeaways from OrthoPediatrics’ conference call:
- Second-quarter revenue rose 15% to a record $70.5 million, led by 26% growth in Trauma & Deformity and more than 20% growth in OPSB. Adjusted EBITDA reached a record $6.8 million, with gross margin improving to 74%.
- Management raised full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $265 million-$269 million, representing 12%-14% growth, while reiterating approximately $25 million of adjusted EBITDA. The company expects positive free cash flow in the second half and free-cash-flow breakeven or better for the full year.
- The multi-year “innovation super cycle” is beginning to contribute through products such as 3P Hip, VerteGlide, and OPSB’s DF2, with additional launches planned through 2027 and beyond. Management expects these products to support higher growth, margins, and returns on capital, while strengthening opportunities for broader hospital contracts.
- Reported Scoliosis revenue declined 9% because of no 7D unit sales in the quarter and lower Brazil set sales, although underlying implant and bracing revenue grew in the mid-teens. Management said demand remains strong and expects 7D sales, VerteGlide adoption, and a strong summer surgery schedule to support future results, but timing remains difficult to predict.
- International revenue increased 22%, led by record European performance and expanding EU MDR approvals, while Brazil’s weaker set sales reflected cash-collection and ordering discipline rather than demand concerns. The company expects European product access and its Brazilian operational changes to provide additional growth over time.
