BURLINGTON, Mass., Nov. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LeMaitre Vascular, Inc. (Nasdaq: LMAT), a provider of vascular devices, implants, and services, today reported Q3 2026 results, announced a quarterly dividend of $0.25/share, and provided guidance.
Q3 2026:
- Sales $68.0mm, +11% (+12% organic) vs. Q3 2025
- Gross margin 71.7% (-360bps, +90 bps vs. adjusted)
- Op. expenses $31.0mm (+21%, +18% vs. adjusted)
- Op. income $17.7mm (-13%, +5% vs. adjusted)
- Op. margin 26%
- EPS $0.65 (-14%, +5% vs. adjusted)
- Cash up $13.5mm sequentially to $390mm at 9/30/2026
Grafts (+20%) and shunts (+14%) drove Q3 growth. Artegraft sales increased 18%. EMEA sales increased by 18%, Americas 9%, and APAC 5%. 12% organic growth was comprised of 7% price and 5% units.
Gross margin of 71.7% was up 90 bps (vs. adjusted) due to higher ASPs and operational efficiencies. Operating expenses increased 18% (vs. adjusted) due to Q3 2025 belt-tightening. Headcount of 678 increased 7% versus 9/30/2025 while rep count increased 13% to 171.
In October, the company acquired certain vascular assets from B. Braun for $19.2mm. These polyester and silver-coated grafts, valve cutters and vein strippers recorded sales of $9.4mm in 2025, all outside of North America. Sales will transition into LeMaitre’s channel over the next 18-24 months as B. Braun’s customer contracts conclude or transfer to LeMaitre. During this transition, LeMaitre will receive a portion of the profits on B. Braun-originated sales.
Chairman/CEO George LeMaitre said, “We expect 2026 to be another year of healthy sales (+11%) and EPS growth (+18%). Biologics continue to drive sales due to Artegraft’s international launch and the continued growth of RestoreFlow Allografts. The acquired B. Braun products will strengthen our core vascular portfolio while leveraging our expanding 31-country sales force.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
LeMaitre management believes that in order to better understand the Company's short- and long-term financial trends, investors may wish to consider certain non-GAAP financial measures as a supplement to financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures are not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and do not have standardized meanings. These non-GAAP measures result from facts and circumstances that may vary in frequency and/or impact on continuing operations. Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, GAAP financial performance measures. In addition to the description provided below, reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release.
In this press release, the Company has reported non-GAAP sales growth percentages after adjusting for the impact of foreign currency exchange, business development transactions, and/or other events. The Company refers to the calculation of non-GAAP sales growth percentages as "organic" or “adjusted.” The Company analyzes non-GAAP sales on a constant currency basis, net of acquisitions and other non-recurring events. Because changes in foreign currency exchange rates have a non-operating impact on net sales, and acquisitions, divestitures, product discontinuations, factory closures, and other strategic transactions are episodic in nature and are highly variable to the reported sales results, the Company believes that evaluating growth in sales on a constant currency basis net of such transactions provides an additional and meaningful assessment of sales to management. Additionally, the Company has provided percentages for Q3 2026 operating income, gross margin, operating expense and EPS, as well as operating income and EPS guidance, adjusted to exclude the effects of the employee retention tax credit received in 2025. Management believes that viewing growth in these measures excluding those effects provides an alternative and meaningful view of the Company’s profitability.
Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures set forth in the tables captioned “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
