AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mobia Medical, Inc. (Nasdaq: MOBI), a medical device company redefining stroke recovery for survivors living with life-altering motor impairments, today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026.
Third Quarter 2026 and Recent Highlights
• Reported revenue of $15.6 million, representing 73% growth over the prior year period
• Achieved gross margin of 83.2%
• Increased average active territories in the quarter to 40, compared to 22.5 in the prior year period
• Announced inclusion of paired VNS in the updated 2026 AHA Guideline for stroke recovery
• Increased full year 2026 revenue guidance to be in the range of $57.0 million to $57.5 million compared to prior range of $54.0 million to $56.0 million
“This quarter, we delivered our strongest results yet. Revenue growth of 73% reflects the strength of our commercial execution and the predictable nature of our patient funnel,” said Richard Foust, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mobia Medical. “Additionally, we were pleased to announce the inclusion of paired VNS in the updated AHA Stroke guidelines for 2026, serving as validation of our evidence-based approach to stroke recovery and further recognition of how Vivistim® Paired VNS™ Therapy can redefine what is possible for stroke survivors. With our continued commercial traction and expanding territory footprint we are making substantial progress in generating greater access and awareness for this profoundly underserved patient population.”
Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Revenue increased by 73%, to $15.6 million for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $9.0 million for the third quarter of 2025. The growth was driven by broader adoption of the Vivistim System and increased product unit sales.
Gross profit increased by 81%, to $13.0 million for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $7.2 million for the third quarter of 2025. Gross margin was 83.2% for the third quarter of 2026, compared to 79.6% for the third quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to lower freight and tariff costs as a percentage of revenue and lower inventory write-offs compared to the prior year period.
Operating expenses increased 71% to $31.5 million for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $18.4 million for the third quarter of 2025, reflecting continued investment in the Company’s commercial organization to support revenue growth. The increase was primarily driven by higher personnel-related expenses, including increased headcount and higher sales commissions, as well as $2.2 million in additional stock-based compensation expense. Operating expenses declined as a percentage of revenue.
Net loss was $17.3 million, or $0.52 per share for the third quarter of 2026, compared to a net loss of $11.4 million, or $13.31 per share for the third quarter of 2025. The year-over-year improvement in net loss per share primarily reflects the significant increase in weighted-average common shares outstanding following the Company’s IPO and the related conversion of its outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock and convertible notes into common stock.
As of September 30, 2026, cash and cash equivalents totaled $160.7 million.
2026 Outlook
The Company now expects revenue for the full year 2026 to be in the range of $57.0 million to $57.5 million, representing growth of 78% to 79% over the full year 2025, compared to the prior range of $54.0 million to $56.0 million.
