NasdaqGS:IART Earnings & Revenue History as at Feb 2026
NasdaqGS:IART Earnings & Revenue History as at Feb 2026

Net loss of US$516 million over the year

  • On a trailing 12 month basis, Integra reported net income loss of about US$516.5 million on US$1.6b of revenue, compared with quarterly net income loss of US$1.7 million on US$434.9 million in Q4 2025.
  • Consensus narrative points to longer term margin improvement. However, this recent loss profile still lines up with concerns about high leverage and remediation costs:
    • Analysts expect profit margins to move from about a 30.9% loss today to a 4.9% margin in three years, but current trailing losses highlight how much needs to change for that to happen.
    • At the same time, net debt of US$1.59b at 4.5x EBITDA in the consensus narrative sits uncomfortably next to these losses and the comment that interest payments are not well covered by earnings.

2.7% revenue growth vs 10.4% market

  • Revenue over the last 12 months is growing at 2.7% per year, which is slower than the cited 10.4% per year for the broader US market, while quarterly revenue has moved between US$382.7 million and US$434.9 million across FY 2025.
  • Bulls argue that supply chain and compliance fixes can lift growth, and the current numbers partly frame that opportunity but also the challenge:
    • Bullish assumptions in the narrative use revenue growth of 4.9% per year for the next three years, a step up from the current 2.7% rate that would rely on product relaunches and new capacity such as the Braintree facility.
    • The recent history of shipholds, recalls, and remediation costs in the bullish story helps explain why trailing growth is modest and why any acceleration would first need those operational issues to be fully resolved.

Bulls see these earnings as the low point before supply chain fixes and higher growth show up in the numbers, while the current 2.7% revenue pace and large trailing loss keep the bar high for that turnaround. 🐂 Integra LifeSciences Holdings Bull Case

DCF fair value and low P/S vs risks

  • With the share price at US$11.33, the stock is trading below a DCF fair value of about US$19.64 and on a P/S of 0.5x compared with peers at 4.6x and a US Medical Equipment industry average of 2.9x.
  • Bears focus on whether the business can earn enough to justify even these low multiples, and the current results give them specific points to lean on:
    • Bears highlight that the company is unprofitable on a trailing 12 month basis and that losses have grown at about 68.5% per year over the past five years, which is a sharp contrast to valuation work that assumes a return to positive earnings.
    • They also point to interest payments not being well covered by earnings, which matters a lot when net income loss is around US$516.5 million and leverage is already flagged as high in the consensus narrative.

Skeptics see the wide gap between the current US$11.33 price and DCF fair value of US$19.64 as only meaningful if the company can move away from repeated losses and improve interest coverage. 🐻 Integra LifeSciences Holdings Bear Case
