(Nasdaq: KMTS), a leading wearable medical device and digital healthcare company, today reported financial results for the third quarter fiscal 2026, which ended January 31, 2026.

As we progress on our journey to category leadership, our team remains focused on growing the wearable defibrillator market and executing on our commitments to patients and their prescribers.” Third Quarter Fiscal 2026 Financial Results Total revenue was $24.6 million, an increase of 63% compared to the prior year period. 5,462 prescriptions were written for the ASSURE® system, an increase of 58% compared to the prior year period.Revenue growth was driven by higher market share and wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD) market expansion. Revenue also benefited from a higher mix of in-network patients and improvements in revenue cycle management capabilities. Gross profit was $12.9 million compared to $6.5 million in the prior year period. Gross margin expanded to 52.6% compared to 43.4% in the prior year period, driven by volume leverage, a higher mix of in-network patients and cost improvement programs. GAAP operating expenses were $47.7 million and included $1.5 million of non-recurring costs. GAAP operating expenses were $27.1 million in the prior year period. Excluding non-recurring costs and share-based compensation expense, operating expenses were $36.1 million in Q3 FY26 compared to $24.8 million in Q3 FY25. The increase was attributable to growth in expenses related to accelerated commercial expansion and public company costs. GAAP net loss and comprehensive loss was $34.2 million compared to GAAP net loss and comprehensive loss of $21.8 million in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA* loss was $21.2 million compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $16.3 million in the prior year period. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $291 million as of January 31, 2026. Cash and cash equivalents includes the net proceeds Kestra received from an underwritten public offering of 6.9 million common shares, which closed on December 4, 2025. *Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. See “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for additional information. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in this press release. Fiscal Year 2026 Revenue GuidanceKestra is increasing its FY26 revenue guidance to $93 million, which would represent growth of 55% compared to FY25. This compares to prior FY26 revenue guidance of $91 million and initial FY26 guidance of $85 million. Webcast and Conference CallKestra will host a conference call today at 4:30 p.m. ET to discuss financial results. A live and archived webcast of the event will be available in the “Events” section of the investor relations website. Use of Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresThis press release contains certain financial information that is not presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), including Adjusted EBITDA. The non-GAAP financial measures are provided as supplemental information to Kestra’s financial measures presented in this press release that are calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA, which is calculated as net income (loss), as adjusted to exclude other income/expense (including interest), income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization expense, share-based compensation expense, and non-recurring expenses, is presented because management believes it allows investors to view the Company’s performance in a manner similar to the method used by management to evaluate the Company’s performance for both strategic and annual operating planning. Management believes that in order to properly understand short-term and long-term financial trends, it is helpful for investors to understand the impact of the items excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, in addition to considering the Company’s GAAP financial measures. The excluded items vary in frequency and/or impact on our results of operations and management believes that the excluded items are not reflective of our ongoing core business operations and financial condition. Excluding such items allows investors and analysts to compare our operating performance to other companies in our industry and to compare our period-over-period results. The non-GAAP financial measures used by Kestra may not be the same or calculated in the same manner as those used and calculated by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for Kestra’s financial results prepared and reported in accordance with GAAP. We urge investors to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures included in this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA reported in this press release to the most comparable GAAP measure for the respective periods appears in the table captioned “Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA” later in this release. Within the accompanying financial tables presented, certain columns and rows may not add due to the use of rounded numbers.
