Iridium Announces Second-Quarter 2024 Results

Published

on

MCLEAN, Va., July 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Iridium Communications Inc. (Nasdaq:IRDM) (“Iridium”), a leading provider of global voice and data satellite communications, today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2024 and reiterated its full-year 2024 outlook. Net income was $32.3 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2024, as compared to net loss of $30.7 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2023. Operational EBITDA (“OEBITDA”)(1) for the second quarter was $114.0 million, as compared to $115.8 million for the prior-year period, representing a year-over-year decrease of 2%. Net income primarily benefitted from a year-over-year decrease in depreciation expense associated with the extension of the estimated useful lives of the Company’s satellites and the prior year write-off of the Company’s remaining ground spare.

Iridium reported second-quarter total revenue of $201.1 million, which consisted of $152.5 million of service revenue and $48.6 million of revenue related to equipment sales and engineering and support projects. Service revenue, which represents primarily recurring revenue from Iridium’s growing subscriber base, grew 5% from the year-ago period and was 76% of total revenue for the second quarter of 2024. Total revenue increased 4% versus the comparable period of 2023, largely due to higher commercial service revenue and higher government engineering revenue.

The Company ended the quarter with 2,413,000 total billable subscribers, which compares to 2,140,000 for the year-ago period and is up from 2,333,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Total billable subscribers grew 13% year-over-year, led by growth in commercial IoT.

“Iridium’s strong capital position continues to support our return of capital to shareholders. During the quarter, we repurchased three percent of our shares and increased our quarterly dividend to common shareholders,” said Matt Desch, CEO, Iridium. Desch added, “We plan to continue being aggressive with our shareholder-friendly activities in 2024, based on current market valuations.”

Iridium Business Highlights

Service – Commercial

Commercial service remained the largest part of Iridium’s business, representing 63% of the Company’s total revenue during the second quarter. The Company’s commercial customer base is diverse and includes markets such as maritime, aviation, oil and gas, mining, recreation, forestry, construction, transportation and emergency services. These customers rely on Iridium’s products and services as critical to their daily operations and integral to their communications and business infrastructure.

Commercial service revenue was $126.0 million, up 6% from last year’s comparable period primarily due to continued growth in IoT data and voice and data services.Commercial voice and data: Revenue was $56.5 million, up 3% from the year-ago period. Subscribers grew 3% from the year-ago period to 417,000. Average revenue per user (“ARPU”) was $46 during the second quarter, consistent with the prior-year period.Commercial IoT data: Revenue was $41.6 million, up 20% from the year-ago period. Subscribers grew 16% from the year-ago period to 1,837,000 customers, driven by continued growth in consumer personal communications devices. ARPU was $7.70 in the second quarter, compared to $7.48 in last year’s comparable period. The increase in ARPU resulted primarily from a new contract with a large customer.Commercial broadband: Revenue was $13.5 million, down 4% from $14.0 million in the year-ago period due to a decrease in ARPU offset in part by subscriber growth. ARPU was $269 during the second quarter, compared to $296 in last year’s comparable period, reflecting the increased prevalence of Iridium’s use as a companion service rather than primary.Hosted payload and other data service: Revenue was $14.4 million, down 4% from $15.1 million in the year-ago period. As previously noted, there was a year-over-year decrease in hosted payload revenue related to the change in the estimated useful lives of Iridium’s satellites that went into effect in the fourth quarter of 2023, offset in part by increases in other data service revenue.Iridium’s commercial business ended the quarter with 2,271,000 billable subscribers, which compares to 1,999,000 for the prior-year quarter and is up from 2,188,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. IoT data subscribers represented 81% of billable commercial subscribers at the end of the quarter, an increase from 79% at the end of the corresponding prior-year period.

Service – U.S. Government

Iridium’s voice and data solutions improve situational awareness for military personnel and track critical assets in tough environments around the globe, providing a unique value proposition that is not easily duplicated.

Under Iridium’s Enhanced Mobile Satellite Services contract (the “EMSS Contract”), a seven-year, $738.5 million fixed-price airtime contract with the U.S. Space Force signed in September 2019, Iridium provides specified satellite airtime services, including unlimited global standard and secure voice, paging, fax, Short Burst Data®, Iridium Burst®, RUDICS and Distributed Tactical Communications System services for an unlimited number of Department of Defense and other federal government subscribers. Iridium also provides maintenance and support work for the U.S. government’s dedicated Iridium® gateway under two other contracts with the U.S. Space Force. Iridium Certus® airtime services are not included under these contracts and may be procured separately for an additional fee.

Government service revenue remained flat at $26.5 million in the second quarter, reflecting the contractual rate in the EMSS Contract.Iridium’s U.S. government business ended the quarter with 142,000 subscribers, which compares to 141,000 for the prior-year quarter and 145,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. We expect subscriber count to be variable due to the nature of this fixed-price contract. Government voice and data subscribers increased 5% from the year-ago period to 63,000 as of June 30, 2024. Government IoT data subscribers decreased 2% year-over-year and represented 56% of government subscribers at quarter-end.Under the terms of the multi-year EMSS Contract, Iridium’s fixed-price rate will increase to $107 million for the contract year beginning September 15, 2024.

Equipment

Equipment revenue was $22.8 million in the second quarter, down 17% compared to $27.4 million in the prior-year quarter.In 2024, the Company expects equipment sales to be lower than 2023 and to be more in line with periods prior to 2022.

Engineering & Support

Engineering and support revenue was $25.8 million during the second quarter, up 25% compared to $20.6 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily due to a rise in activity with the U.S. government.In 2024, the Company expects engineering and support revenue to increase from 2023 with ongoing work on the Space Development Agency contract.

Capital expenditures were $12.4 million for the second quarter, including $1.2 million in capitalized interest. The Company ended the second quarter with gross Term Loan debt of $1.6 billion, $50.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Facility and a cash and cash equivalents balance of $63.5 million. The Company utilized cash from its upsized Term Loan to complete the acquisition of Satelles in April. The Company ended the first quarter with a net debt balance of $1.6 billion, representing net leverage of 3.5 times OEBITDA.

Iridium paid a dividend of $0.14 per common share on June 28, 2024, resulting in year-to-date dividend payments of $32.8 million to stockholders. The Board of Directors’ decision to increase the quarterly dividend to $0.14 per share starting with the second quarter 2024 dividend will result in a full-year dividend increase of 5.8%.

During the quarter, the Company repurchased approximately 3.3 million shares of its common stock under its previously announced share repurchase program at a total purchase price of $96.6 million, in part funded by a $50 million draw down on Iridium’s Revolving Facility. As of June 30, 2024, $180.8 million remained available and authorized for repurchase under this program through December 31, 2025. The Company has retired 21.1 million shares, equivalent to $819.2 million, since its share repurchase program commenced in February 2021.

2024 Outlook and Longer-Term Outlook

The Company reiterated its full-year 2024 outlook and updated its longer-term guidance on net leverage:

Total service revenue growth between 4% and 6% for full-year 2024. Total service revenue for 2023 was $584.5 million.Full-year 2024 OEBITDA between $460 million and $470 million. OEBITDA for 2023 was $463.1 million.Cash taxes of less than $10 million per year from 2024 through 2026. We expect that the longer-term cash tax rate will move closer to the statutory rate in 2028.Net leverage below 4.0 times OEBITDA through 2026 and falling below 2.0 times OEBITDA by the end of the decade, assuming the completion of the Company’s share repurchase authorization and the payment of quarterly dividends consistent with the current level. (Previous near-term guidance for net leverage was below 2.5 times OEBITDA as Iridium exited 2026.) Net leverage was 3.1 times OEBITDA at December 31, 2023.

(1) Non-GAAP Financial Measures & Definitions

In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company provides Operational EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as a supplemental measure to help investors evaluate the Company’s fundamental operational performance. Operational EBITDA represents earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, gain (loss} on equity method investments, acquisition and related costs, and share-based compensation expenses. Such charges are incidental to, but not reflective of, the Company’s day-to-day operating performance. Operational EBITDA does not represent, and should not be considered, an alternative to U.S. GAAP measurements such as net income or loss. In addition, there is no standardized measurement of Operational EBITDA, and the Company’s calculations thereof may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The Company believes Operational EBITDA is a useful measure across time in evaluating its fundamental core operating performance. Management also uses Operational EBITDA to manage the business, including in preparing its annual operating budget, debt covenant compliance, financial projections and compensation plans. The Company believes that Operational EBITDA is also useful to investors because similar measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies in similar industries. As indicated, Operational EBITDA does not include interest expense on borrowed money, the payment of income taxes, amortization of the Company’s definite-lived intangible assets, or depreciation expense on the Company’s capital assets, which are necessary elements of the Company’s operations. Since Operational EBITDA does not account for these and other expenses, its utility as a measure of the Company’s operating performance has material limitations. Due to these limitations, the Company’s management does not view Operational EBITDA in isolation, but also uses other measurements, such as net income, revenues and operating profit, to measure operating performance. Please refer to the schedule below for a reconciliation of consolidated GAAP net income to Operational EBITDA and Iridium’s Investor Relations webpage at www.iridium.com for a discussion and reconciliation of this and other non-GAAP financial measures. We do not provide a forward-looking reconciliation of expected full-year 2024 Operational EBITDA guidance as the amount and significance of special items required to develop meaningful comparable GAAP financial measures cannot be estimated at this time without unreasonable efforts.

CHICAGO, May 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — OppFi Inc. (NYSE: OPFI) (“OppFi” or the “Company”), a tech-enabled digital finance platform that partners with banks to offer financial products and services to everyday Americans, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

“Operationally, OppFi had a healthy start to 2026, generating record first-quarter revenue, which reflects the strength of our core operations. Strategically, we believe 2026 is a pivotal year of investment for OppFi as we evolve the business with the transformative combination of OppFi’s digital-first platform and BNC’s national bank charter. This initiative unlocks significant opportunities for growth and product diversification. Combining our operations under unified regulatory supervision by the OCC and Federal Reserve simplifies and strengthens our compliance and risk management, which positions us for long-term scalability and sustainable growth,” said Todd Schwartz, CEO and Executive Chairman of OppFi. Our new share repurchase program reflects our continued confidence in OppFi’s long-term growth prospects, our commitment to returning value to our stockholders and belief that our stock currently trades at a significant discount to its underlying value,” Todd Schwartz added.

Share Repurchase Program

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, OppFi repurchased 1,040,699 shares of Class A Common Stock, which were held as treasury stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $9.9 million at an average purchase price per share of $9.54. As of March 31, 2026, $11.0 million of the repurchase authorization under the Company’s prior repurchase program remained available. On May 6, 2026, the Board of Directors of OppFi approved a new share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $40 million of its Class A Common Stock. This new program replaces the Company’s prior share repurchase program, which was terminated.

Repurchases under the new program may be made from time to time on the open market, through privately negotiated transactions, or via other methods, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other relevant legal requirements. The timing and amount of repurchases will depend on market conditions, share price, trading volume and other factors. The new program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific dollar amount or number of shares, and it may be extended, modified, suspended or discontinued at any time.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. OppFi’s actual results may differ from its expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “opportunity,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “possible,” “continue,” “positions,” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, OppFi’s expectations with respect to its full year 2026 guidance, the future performance of OppFi’s platform and underwriting models, statements regarding OppFi’s proposed acquisition of BNCC, including the anticipated timing, structure, benefits and strategic rationale of such transactions, OppFi’s expectations with respect to the geographic expansion and product diversification that may come from the acquisition, and expectations for OppFi’s growth and future financial performance. These forward-looking statements are based on OppFi’s current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Most of these factors are outside OppFi’s control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to, the impact of general economic conditions, including economic slowdowns, inflation, interest rate changes, recessions, the impact of tariffs, and tightening of credit markets on OppFi’s business; the impact of challenging macroeconomic and marketplace conditions; the impact of stimulus or other government programs; risks related to the proposed acquisition of BNCC including the risk that the transactions may not be completed in a timely manner or at all and the risk of integration or execution challenges; whether OppFi will be successful in obtaining declaratory relief against the Commissioner of the Department of Financial Protection and Innovation for the State of California; whether OppFi will be subject to AB 539; whether OppFi’s bank partners will continue to lend in California and whether OppFi’s financing sources will continue to finance the purchase of participation rights in loans originated by OppFi’s bank partners in California; OppFi’s ability to scale and grow the Bitty business; the impact that events involving financial institutions or the financial services industry generally, such as actual concerns or events involving liquidity, defaults, or non-performance, may have on OppFi’s business; risks related to any material weakness in OppFi’s internal controls over financial reporting; the ability of OppFi to grow and manage growth profitably and retain its key employees; risks related to new products; risks related to evaluating and potentially consummating acquisitions; concentration risk; risks related to OppFi’s ability to comply with various covenants in its corporate and warehouse credit facilities; risks related to potential litigation; changes in applicable laws or regulations, including, but not limited to, impacts from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act; the possibility that OppFi may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; and other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in OppFi’s filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, in particular, contained in the section captioned “Risk Factors.” OppFi cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive, and readers should not place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. OppFi does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures that are unaudited and do not conform to GAAP, such as Adjusted EBT, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EPS. Adjusted EBT is defined as Net Income, adjusted for (1) income tax expense; (2) change in fair value of warrant liabilities; (3) other adjustments, net; and (4) other income. Adjusted Net Income is defined as Adjusted EBT as defined above, adjusted for taxes assuming a tax rate for each period presented that reflects the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% and a blended statutory rate for state income taxes, in order to allow for a comparison with other publicly traded companies. Adjusted EPS is defined as Adjusted Net Income as defined above, divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding, which represents shares of both classes of common stock outstanding and includes the impact of dilutive securities, such as restricted stock units, performance stock units, and stock options. These non-GAAP financial measures have not been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. OppFi believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends. These non-GAAP measures with comparable names should not be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for reconciliations for OppFi’s non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Raises 2026 Outlook

2026 outlook now reflects revenue growth of 40%-45%% and gross margins of approximately 27-28%, supported by record backlog, expanded capacity, and improving operational execution

TULSA, Okla., May 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AAON, INC. (NASDAQ-AAON), a leader in high-performing, energy-efficient HVAC solutions that bring long-term value to customers and owners, today announced its results for the first quarter of 2026.

First Quarter 2026 Results

Net sales for the first quarter of 2026 increased 54.3% to $496.9 million, from $322.1 million in the first quarter of 2025. This growth was driven by strong demand across both the AAON and BASX brands, and accelerating production throughput made possible by investments made in capacity and operational execution. BASX-branded sales increased 72.4% to $228.6 million, reflecting continued strength in data center cooling demand, higher production volumes, and increased utilization of recently commissioned capacity. AAON-branded sales increased 41.6% to $268.4 million, supported by a strong backlog and accelerating production rates. Booking activity remained solid across both brands, supporting continued share gains and elevated backlog levels. BASX-branded products ended the quarter with backlog up 160.0%, while AAON‑branded bookings demonstrated continued resilience in a softer market environment.

Gross profit margin in the quarter was 25.1%, compared to 26.8% in the prior-year period. The year‑over‑year decline reflected unabsorbed fixed costs associated with recent capacity investments, temporary outsourcing used to support accelerated growth, and transitory price and cost timing dynamics. These effects are intentional and temporary, and are expected to unwind as internal capacity scales and utilization improves.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of sales declined 220 basis points to 13.7%, demonstrating strong operating leverage and disciplined cost management.

Earnings per diluted share were $0.48, an increase of 37.1% from $0.35 in the first quarter of 2025.

“First‑quarter results demonstrate strong earnings growth driven by higher volume, improved execution, and continued share gains,” said President and CEO Matt Tobolski. “We delivered record sales, improved cash flow, and higher production throughput across our manufacturing network. Importantly, the additional volume we are taking on is carrying attractive incremental contribution, allowing earnings to grow while we intentionally sequence margin improvement during this phase of capacity ramp.

“Our backlog provides exceptional visibility, particularly across the BASX-brand, and positions us to drive continued growth as we move through the year. At the same time, increasing utilization across existing capacity is expected to support margin improvement over time as fixed costs are absorbed, equipment comes fully online, and productivity continues to improve.

“As we progress through 2026, our priorities are clear and unchanged. Drive throughput, convert backlog, and deliver disciplined margin progression over time. We have built the foundation, and we are now focused on converting that foundation into durable earnings power and long-term returns.”

Total backlog increased 107.4% year-over-year to $2.13 billion, and increased 16.5% sequentially. The sequential growth was driven entirely by the BASX brand, with backlog increasing 24.4% from the prior quarter. Sustained data center demand and BASX’s custom-engineered solutions continue to support share gains. As planned, AAON-branded products backlog declined sequentially 3.1%, reflecting a deliberate increase in production to address extended lead times, with manufacturing output exceeding order intake during the quarter. Order activity of AAON equipment remained solid, supporting continued share gains despite softer end-market conditions.

2026 Outlook

Dr. Tobolski concluded, “We are encouraged by the start of the year and the momentum we are seeing across the business. Backlog and demand remain exceptionally strong, providing the visibility and stability needed to maintain a sharp focus on execution, production ramp‑up, and customer fulfillment. We are pleased with the benefits we are starting to see from operational investments, and we have meaningful opportunity ahead to further increase production volumes and enhance productivity, which support improved results over time.

“We now expect 2026 sales to grow 40%-45%, with gross margin of 27%-28%, reflecting intentional ramp decisions early in the year and improving margin as utilization and productivity increases through the year. We anticipate SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales will be 14%-15% and expect depreciation and amortization expenses of $95-$100 million.”

25.1 %

Net sales for the AAON Oklahoma segment totaled $244.0 million, an increase of 50.7% year-over-year, driven by a strong starting backlog and ongoing production enhancements that improved backlog conversion despite a challenging industry environment. First‑quarter 2026 results also benefited from an easier year‑over‑year comparison, as the prior‑year period was disrupted by the industry’s refrigerant transition, contributing to regained market share.

Gross margin for the segment was 26.3%, compared to 25.1% in the first quarter of 2025. Overhead expenses associated with the new Memphis facility impacted segment margin by $9.8 million.  Excluding these costs, segment margins were 29.6%.  During the quarter, the segment was impacted by elevated outsourcing levels, price‑cost timing dynamics, and tariff‑related costs, all of which are temporary and do not change the long-term earnings power of the segment.

Net sales for the AAON Coil Products segment totaled $117.6 million, up 25.1% compared to the same period last year. Growth was driven primarily by BASX-branded liquid cooling sales of $93.2 million, up 40.5% during the period, while AAON‑branded sales declined 11.8% year-over-year.

AAON Coil Products gross margin was 24.1%, declining year-over-year from 31.8%, but increasing sequentially from 21.3%. The sequential margin expansion reflected improved operating leverage on higher throughput at the Longview facility, including a favorable mix of higher-margin BASX sales.

Net sales for the BASX segment increased 104.5% to $135.4 million from $66.2 million in the prior-year period. The year-over-year growth reflected strong demand for data center equipment, supported by robust order intake and elevated backlog levels. Increased production from the Company’s new Memphis facility played a key role by expanding capacity and driving higher sales volumes.

BASX segment gross margin was 23.9%, unchanged from the prior-year period. Margin stability reflected strong volume growth, offset by incremental resources and investments to support future growth and share gains. These incremental costs also contributed to the sequential margin contraction.

Balance Sheet & Cash Flow

As of March 31, 2026, the company had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $1.1 million and a balance on its revolving credit facility of $425.2 million. Andy Cheung, CFO and Treasurer, commented, “During the first quarter, operating cash flow totaled $34.0 million, representing the highest level since the third quarter of 2024. This improvement reflected higher earnings and enhanced working capital efficiency. Capital expenditures totaled $52.9 million, primarily reflecting continued investments in incremental capacity to support future growth. As improvements in profitability and productivity continue, we expect these trends to support stronger cash flow and a healthier balance sheet over time.”

Conference Call

The company will host a conference call and webcast this morning at 9:00 a.m. EST to discuss the first quarter of 2026 results and outlook. The conference call will be accessible via dial-in for those who wish to participate in Q&A as well as a listen-only webcast. The dial-in is accessible at 1-888-880-3330.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the company’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), additional non-GAAP financial measures are provided and reconciled in the following tables. The company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP financial measures, provide information that is useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results. The company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure enhances the ability of investors to analyze the company’s business trends and operating performance as they are used by management to better understand operating performance. Since adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP measures and are susceptible to varying calculations, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin, as presented, may not be directly comparable with other similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income

The company defines non-GAAP adjusted net income as net income adjusted for any infrequent events, such as litigation settlements, net of profit sharing and tax effect, in the periods presented.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net income (GAAP) to non-GAAP adjusted net income for the periods indicated:

2Profit sharing effect of the Memphis incentive fee in the respective period.

EBITDA

EBITDA (as defined below) is presented herein and reconciled from the GAAP measure of net income because of its wide acceptance by the investment community as a financial indicator of a company’s ability to internally fund operations. The company defines EBITDA as net income, plus (1) depreciation and amortization, (2) interest expense (income), net and (3) income tax expense. EBITDA is not a measure of net income or cash flows as determined by GAAP. EBITDA margin is defined as EBITDA as a percentage of net sales.

The company’s EBITDA measure provides additional information which may be used to better understand the company’s operations. EBITDA is one of several metrics that the company uses as a supplemental financial measurement in the evaluation of its business and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income, as an indicator of operating performance. Certain items excluded from EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance. EBITDA, as used by the company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The company believes that EBITDA is a widely followed measure of operating performance and is one of many metrics used by the company’s management team and by other users of the company’s consolidated financial statements.

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA adjusted by items in non-GAAP adjusted net income, above, except for taxes, as taxes are already excluded from EBITDA.

Tetrous® Wins “Most Exciting New Product” Award at Shoulder 360™

Published

By

Following its ACE (Advancing Cutting-Edge) Award win in 2024, Tetrous is recognized once again, this time by Shoulder 360™ for its EnFix® product line.

LOS ANGELES, May 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Tetrous, Inc., an emerging leader in orthopedic sports medicine innovation, today announced it has been awarded “Most Exciting New Product” at Shoulder 360, recognizing the company’s continued advancement in solutions for bone-to-tendon healing.

This latest honor builds on Tetrous’ earlier recognition at the AOSSM Annual Meeting, where the company received the prestigious ACE (Advancing Cutting-Edge) Award in 2024—a distinction given to breakthrough technologies with the potential to meaningfully improve patient outcomes in sports medicine. Shoulder 360™ is the pre-eminent forum meeting annually to educate the spectrum of health care providers caring for patients with shoulder disorders.

Tetrous’ product line, including EnFix RC®, EnFix TAC-O®, EnFix TAC-T®, and EnFix ACL™, is designed to address longstanding challenges in orthopedic soft tissue repair, particularly in procedures such as rotator cuff repair, where failure rates remain a significant concern. Restoring the bone-to-tendon interface, known as the enthesis, ultimately determines healing and long-term success.

Tetrous offers the only demineralized bone fiber (DBF) implant designed specifically for placement within bone at the bone-tendon interface, supplying the biological drivers for repair. When the mineral component is removed from allograft bone, the bone morphogenic proteins (i.e. growth factors) are exposed, allowing them to help stimulate new tissue formation. The peg design of EnFix allows surgeons to place the implant directly into the bone at the repair site, while the internal cannulation allows bone marrow cells to access the implant and initiate healing.

Significant Commercial Progress
Since receiving its prior “technology” award, Tetrous has demonstrated significant commercial and clinical progress:

Expanded to more than 100 surgeon users with three times year over year surgeon growthSurpassed 3,500 implanted devices, reflecting strong clinical adoptionExpanded clinical use of EnFix across multiple anatomical enthesesCompleted first cases with EnFix ACL for Anterior Cruciate Ligament ReconstructionScaled distribution internationally, with active markets in the United States, Australia, and New Zealand, and planned expansion into Taiwan

Raffy Mirzayan, MD, DOCS Health, Clinical Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at USC Keck School of Medicine, Los Angeles, and Co-Founder of Shoulder360 said: “Shoulder360 was proud to award the ‘Most Exciting New Product/Service Award’ for 2026 to Tetrous. The winner of the award is voted on by surgeon attendees. Tetrous stood out for its efforts to highlight Enthesis healing with its exciting new EnFix product.”

“The rapid pace of adoption we’ve seen in the past year is incredibly encouraging,” said John Bojanowski, Director and Chief Commercial Officer. “Surpassing 3,500 implants and expanding internationally are strong indicators that surgeons recognize the value of what Tetrous is bringing to the OR.”

“Our recognition at Shoulder 360 reflects the growing confidence from surgeons who are recognizing that we have introduced a differentiated solution that can complete the healing triad of (a) fixation, (b) structure and, now with Tetrous, (c) biology – leading to better outcomes for patients,” said Bradley Patt, PhD, Co-founder, Director and CEO.
