November 3, 2026 at 4:01 PM EST
  • Third Quarter 2026 worldwide revenue of $154.5 million, an increase of 15.0% year over year
  • Profitability expansion in the Third Quarter 2026, with net income of $4.1 million and adjusted EBITDA of $26.8 million

MASON, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 3, 2026-- AtriCure, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATRC), a leading innovator in surgical treatments and therapies for atrial fibrillation (Afib), left atrial appendage (LAA) management and post-operative pain management, today announced third quarter 2026 financial results.

“Our third quarter results demonstrate the strength of our broad portfolio and our team’s disciplined execution,” said Michael Carrel, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Adoption of our innovative technologies is driving strong growth and expanding profitability, while the rapid progress of our BoxX-NoAF clinical trial reinforces our confidence in the opportunities ahead. We are well positioned to extend our leadership in cardiac surgery and post-operative pain management, creating lasting value for patients and our shareholders.”

Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Worldwide revenue for the third quarter 2026 was $154.5 million, an increase of 15.0% over third quarter 2025 revenue (15.1% on a constant currency basis). U.S. revenue was $128.0 million, an increase of $18.7 million or 17.1%, compared to the third quarter 2025. U.S. revenue growth was driven by sales of our cryoSPHERE® MAX™ probe for post-operative pain management, EnCompass® clamp in open ablation, and AtriClip FLEX-Mini® and AtriClip PRO-Mini® devices for appendage management. Minimally invasive ablation sales declined during the quarter from continued reduction in Hybrid procedures as physicians adopt PFA catheters to treat patients. International revenue increased $1.4 million or 5.8% (6.1% on a constant currency basis) to $26.4 million, with growth in all franchises.

Gross profit for the third quarter 2026 was $119.4 million compared to $101.3 million for the third quarter 2025. Gross margin was 77.3% for the third quarter 2026, an increase of 180 basis points from the third quarter 2025, driven primarily by favorable product and geographic mix. Income from operations for the third quarter 2026 was $4.4 million, compared to $0.2 million for the third quarter 2025. Basic and diluted net income per share was $0.08 for the third quarter 2026, compared to basic and diluted net loss per share of $0.01 for the third quarter 2025.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter 2026 was $26.8 million, an increase of $9.0 million or 51% from the third quarter 2025. For the third quarter 2026, adjusted earnings per share was $0.18, compared to $0.01 adjusted loss per share for the third quarter 2025.

Constant currency revenue, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings (loss) per share are non-GAAP financial measures. We discuss these non-GAAP financial measures and provide reconciliations to GAAP measures later in this release.

2026 Financial Guidance

Full year 2026 revenue is now projected to be approximately $606 million to $610 million, and management also projects full year 2026 adjusted EBITDA of approximately $91 million to $94 million. Full year 2026 net income per share is expected to be in the range of $0.21 to $0.27 and adjusted earnings per share of approximately $0.40 to $0.46. Additionally, management expects continued positive cash generation for 2026.

Forward-Looking Statements

Except for historical information, certain statements in this press release, including financial guidance and outlook, are forward-looking in nature and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us. Such statements are covered by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act safe harbor. Our business and operations are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and, consequently, actual results may differ materially from those projected by any forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: our estimate of the market for our products; the rate and degree of market acceptance of our products; negative clinical data; clinical trial enrollment, readouts and outcomes; competition from existing and new products and procedures, including the development of drugs or catheter-based technologies; our reliance on independent distributors to sell our products; inventory-related charges; the timing of and ability to obtain and maintain regulatory clearances and approvals for our products and launching our products; impacts of rising healthcare costs; our ability to comply with extensive FDA regulations; the timing of and ability to obtain third party payor reimbursement of procedures utilizing our products; unfavorable publicity; the potential impact of any acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments we may make; disruptions to our manufacturing operations; the impact of tariffs or other restrictive trade measures; our failure to properly manage growth; disruptions of critical information systems or material breaches in the security of our systems; our ability to manage our intellectual property rights to provide meaningful protection; fluctuation of quarterly financial results; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; reliance on third party manufacturers and suppliers; and litigation, administrative or other proceedings. These risks and uncertainties, as well as others, are discussed in greater detail in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on February 19, 2026, and our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. There may be additional risks of which we are not presently aware or that we currently believe are immaterial which could have an adverse impact on our business. Any forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, estimates and assumptions regarding future events and are applicable only as of the dates of such statements. We make no commitment to revise or update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect events or circumstances that may change, except as required by law.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement AtriCure’s condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, AtriCure provides certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release as supplemental financial metrics.

Revenue reported on a constant currency basis is a non-GAAP measure, calculated by applying previous period foreign currency exchange rates to each of the comparable periods. Management analyzes revenue on a constant currency basis to better measure the comparability of results between periods. Because changes in foreign currency exchange rates have a non-operating impact on revenue, the Company believes that evaluating growth in revenue on a constant currency basis provides an additional and meaningful assessment of revenue for both management and investors.

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income (loss) before other income/expense (including interest), income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, share-based compensation expense, and non-recurring charges that are not reflective of the operational results of the Company’s core business and may affect comparability of results period-over-period. Non-recurring charges include acquisition costs, acquired-in-process research and development (IPR&D) and related milestone payments arising from asset acquisitions, legal settlement costs, impairment of intangible assets and changes in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities.

Management believes in order to properly understand short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may wish to consider the impact of these excluded items in addition to GAAP measures. The excluded items vary in frequency and/or impact on our continuing results of operations and management believes that the excluded items are typically not reflective of our ongoing core business operations and financial condition. Further, management uses adjusted EBITDA for both strategic and annual operating planning. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA reported in this release to the most comparable GAAP measure for the respective periods appears in the table captioned “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Adjusted Income (Adjusted EBITDA)” later in this release.

Adjusted earnings (loss) per share is a non-GAAP measure which calculates the net income (loss) per share before non-cash adjustments in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities, acquired IPR&D and related milestone payments arising from asset acquisitions, legal settlement costs, impairment of intangible assets and debt extinguishment.

The non-GAAP financial measures used by AtriCure 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 AtriCure’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.
