"Our momentum is accelerating across both the United States and OUS (outside of the U.S.) markets," said Peter Caldini, Chief Executive Officer. "The U.S. launch of our minimally invasive platform is off to a strong start and is contributing meaningfully to our growth we now expect it to make up at least 13% of 2026 revenue, up from previous guidance. At the same time, we've delivered our third consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA, underscoring the strength of our execution and the operational leverage inherent to this business."
"Our first quarter performance gives us confidence to raise our annual guidance," said Sandra Harris, Chief Financial Officer of Establishment Labs. "Our recent refinancing with Oaktree extends our debt maturity and further enhances our financial flexibility. We expect to be free cash flow positive in the second half of the year and are focused on meaningfully increasing earnings per share every year moving forward."
First Quarter 2026 Financial Results (Unaudited)
Total revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was $59.9 million, compared to $41.4 million for the same period in 2025, representing a growth of approximately 44.7%, with Motiva U.S. revenue increasing to $19.6 million from $6.2 million in the prior-year period.
Gross profit for the first quarter of $42.3 million, or 70.7% of revenue, increased compared to $27.8 million, or 67.2% of revenue, for the same period in 2025. The improvement in gross profit margin was primarily driven by geographic and channel mix.
Total operating expenses for the first quarter were $48.8 million, $4.0 million higher compared to $44.8 million in the first quarter of 2025. This represents a 8.9% increase supporting a 44.7% growth of revenue, showing our ability to leverage operating expenses as we scale the business.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, this release includes the following measures defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission as non-GAAP financial measures EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies, limiting the usefulness of the measures for comparison with other companies.
EBITDA is defined as net income or loss excluding (1) interest income and expense (2) provision for income taxes and (3) depreciation and amortization. We consider EBITDA useful to an investor in evaluating and facilitating comparisons of our operating performance between periods by removing the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense) and asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from our operating results.
We also present Adjusted EBITDA which includes additional adjustments for items such as other non-cash charges, gains or losses on extinguishment of debt, share-based compensation, contract termination costs, foreign currency gains and losses and restructuring costs. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding our ongoing operating performance that, when considered with net income and EBITDA, is beneficial to an investor's understanding of our performance.
We believe disclosure of this information is also useful to investors as it provides insight into the earnings that management uses to make strategic decisions. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income or loss as prescribed by GAAP as a measure of our operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent cash generated from operating activities under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to cash flows from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. These measures are not measures of our liquidity, nor are indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs. These measurements do not reflect cash expenditures for long-term assets and other items that have been and will be incurred. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may include funds that may not be available for management's discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures, property acquisitions, and other commitments and uncertainties.
Please see "Reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA" for a reconciliation of these measures to net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure. This release also includes information about our expectations regarding Adjusted EBITDA on a forward-looking basis. We have not provided a reconciliation of such forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA information because a reconciliation of such measure to our expected GAAP net income (loss) on a forward-looking basis is not available without unreasonable efforts. The timing or amount of various reconciling items that would impact the forward-looking expectations for this non-GAAP financial measure are uncertain, depend on various factors and cannot be reasonably predicted. Such unavailable information could be material to our results computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). You can find many (but not all) of these statements by looking for words such as "approximates," "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates," "intends," "plans," "intends to," "would," "will," "may" or other similar expressions in this press release.

We claim the protection of the safe harbor contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We caution investors that any forward-looking statements presented in this report, or that we may make orally or in writing from time to time, are expressions of our beliefs and expectations based on currently available information at the time such statements are made. Such statements are based on assumptions, and the actual outcome will be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties, and factors that are beyond our control. Although we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future performance, and some will inevitably prove to be incorrect. As a result, our actual future results and the timing of events may differ from our expectations, and those differences may be material. Factors, among others, that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from those described in any forward-looking statements include risks and uncertainties relating to our ability to successfully, timely and cost-effectively develop, seek and obtain regulatory clearance for and commercialize our product offerings the rate of adoption of our products by healthcare providers or other customers the success of our marketing initiatives the safe and effective use of our products our ability to
protect our intellectual property our future expansion plans and capital allocation our ability to expand upon and or secure sources of credit or capital our ability to develop and maintain relationships with qualified suppliers to avoid a significant interruption in our supply chains our ability to attract and retain key personnel our ability to scale our operations to meet market demands the effect on our business of existing and new regulatory requirements and other economic and competitive factors. These and other factors that could cause or contribute to actual results differing materially from our expectations include, among others, those risks and uncertainties discussed in the company's annual report on Form 10-K filed on February 27, 2026, which risks and uncertainties may be updated in the future in other filings made by the company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The risks included in those documents are not exhaustive, and additional factors could adversely affect our business and financial performance. We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all such risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. We are not undertaking any obligation to update any forward-looking statements. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on past forward-looking statements, which are based on known results and trends at the time they are made, to anticipate future results or trends.
