BURLINGTON, Mass., Aug. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LeMaitre Vascular, Inc. (Nasdaq: LMAT), a provider of vascular devices, implants, and services, today reported Q2 2026 results, announced a quarterly dividend of $0.25/share, and provided guidance.

Q2 2026:

• Sales $70.4mm, +10% (+10% organic) vs. Q2 2025
  
• Gross margin 72.1% (+210 bps)
  
• Op. income $20.4mm (+26%) 
  
• Op. margin 29%
  
• EPS $0.74 (+23%)
  
• Cash up $9.0mm sequentially to $376.2mm
  
  

Artegraft sales increased 34% in the quarter. Grafts (+23%), carotid shunts (+18%), and patches (+4%) each posted records, as did EMEA (+18%), APAC (+18%) and the Americas (+5%). Catheters were down 11% in the quarter due to recall-driven overstocking in Q2 2025. Q2 organic growth was 12% excluding catheters.

Gross margin of 72.1% was up 210 bps due to higher prices, mix shift, and operational efficiencies. Operating income of $20.4mm (+26%) also benefited from headcount restraint: 660 at 6/30/2026 vs. 658 at 6/30/2025.

Chairman/CEO George LeMaitre said, “Our focus on the Artegraft international launch paid off in Q2. The product is now approved in 56 countries, accounting for 21% of sales. So our largest product is now our fastest-growing product. To underpin the Artegraft launch and pave the way for RFA, we continue to build our sales force, go direct in new countries and we’re now undertaking six international warehouse expansions. $376m of cash provides strategic optionality.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

LeMaitre management believes that in order to better understand the Company's short- and long-term financial trends, investors may wish to consider certain non-GAAP financial measures as a supplement to financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures are not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and do not have standardized meanings. These non-GAAP measures result from facts and circumstances that may vary in frequency and/or impact on continuing operations. Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, GAAP financial performance measures. In addition to the description provided below, reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release.

In this press release, the Company has reported non-GAAP sales growth percentages after adjusting for the impact of foreign currency exchange, business development transactions, and/or other events. The Company refers to the calculation of non-GAAP sales growth percentages as "organic" or “adjusted.” The Company analyzes non-GAAP sales on a constant currency basis, net of acquisitions and other non-recurring events. Because changes in foreign currency exchange rates have a non-operating impact on net sales, and acquisitions, divestitures, product discontinuations, factory closures, and other strategic transactions are episodic in nature and are highly variable to the reported sales results, the Company believes that evaluating growth in sales on a constant currency basis net of such transactions provides an additional and meaningful assessment of sales to management. Additionally, the Company has provided percentages for operating income and EPS guidance adjusted to exclude the effects of the employee retention tax credit received in 2025. Management believes that viewing projected growth in operating income and EPS excluding those effects provides an alternative and meaningful view of the Company’s projected profitability.

Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures set forth in the tables captioned “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
