Given the pending transaction, Integer Holdings withdrew its previously issued financial outlook. The company also canceled its previously scheduled second-quarter earnings conference call and webcast.
Wrapping Up
Integer Holdings exited the second quarter of 2026 with a mixed performance. Revenues declined year over year, reflecting continued pressure from previously communicated product-related headwinds and the strategic exit from Portable Medical. However, adjusted EPS increased 3.2%, supported by a relatively stable adjusted net income despite the softer top line.
On the product-line front, performance remained uneven. Cardio & Vascular sales declined as two new Electrophysiology products continued to weigh on results, while Cardiac Rhythm Management & Neuromodulation posted modest growth despite the impact from one new Neuromodulation product. Profitability also remained under pressure, with adjusted operating income declining 10.2% and gross margin contracting year over year. Still, operating cash flow for the first six months improved to $84.4 million from $75.1 million a year ago.
The company withdrew its previously issued 2026 financial outlook in light of the pending acquisition. Integer Holdings and KKR announced a definitive agreement under which an affiliate of KKR-managed investment funds will acquire all outstanding shares of ITGR for $127 per share in cash, valuing the transaction at an enterprise value of $5.7 billion.The transaction is expected to close by the end of 2026.
