Artivion Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial Results and Announces Exercise of Option to Acquire Endospan

First Quarter & Recent Business Highlights:

•Achieved revenue of $116.3 million in the first quarter of 2026 versus $99.0 million in the first quarter of 2025, an increase of 18% on a GAAP basis and 12% on a non-GAAP constant currency basis

•Net income for the first quarter of 2026 was $1.4 million, or $0.03 per fully diluted share, and non-GAAP net income was $4.2 million, or $0.08 per fully diluted share

•Adjusted EBITDA increased 26% to $22.1 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $17.5 million in the first quarter of 2025

•Announced U.S. FDA PMA Approval of the NEXUS Aortic Arch System for the treatment of aortic arch disease, including chronic aortic dissections

•Exercised option to acquire Endospan for an upfront purchase price of $135 million, net of previously extended loans

ATLANTA, GA – (May 7, 2026) – Artivion, Inc. (NYSE: AORT), a leading cardiac and vascular surgery company focused on aortic disease, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

“In the first quarter of 2026, we achieved 12% constant currency revenue growth and 26% adjusted EBITDA growth, reflecting continued execution of our strategy to deliver long-term, profitable performance with an expanding and clinically differentiated product portfolio. Revenue results were driven by year-over-year gains in stent grafts of 21%, On-X of 20%, preservation services of 23%, BioGlue of 4%, all compared to the first quarter of 2025. On a constant currency basis, first quarter year-over-year stent grafts, On-X, and preservation services grew 10%, 17%, and 23%, respectively,” said Pat Mackin, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Mackin continued, “We also continued to advance our best-in-class, aortic-focused product pipeline in the first quarter, driving strong enrollment in the ARTIZEN clinical trial. Further, we were pleased to see our partner Endospan receive U.S. FDA PMA approval for the NEXUS Aortic Arch System, ahead of our initial expectations. We have since exercised our option to acquire Endospan and expect the acquisition to close in the second quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions. Our acquisition of the NEXUS system would expand our market-leading aortic arch portfolio, position us at the forefront of this segment, and broaden our pipeline with three additional PMA programs. With AMDS, NEXUS, and ultimately, Arcevo LSA, we stand to become the only company with a complete portfolio of aortic arch solutions.”

Mr. Mackin concluded, “While our first quarter performance fell short of our constant currency expectations due to some transient factors, we are confident that the fundamentals underpinning our strategy remain intact. We are seeing strong reordering behavior within AMDS accounts, which exceeded our expectations and reinforces our conviction in long-term adoption. Meanwhile, On-X continues to take share from both mechanical and bioprosthetic valves as the leading aortic valve on the market for patients under the age of 65.”

First Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Total revenues for the first quarter of 2026 were $116.3 million, an increase of 18% on a GAAP basis and 12% on a non-GAAP constant currency basis, both compared to the first quarter of 2025.

Net income for the first quarter of 2026 was $1.4 million, or $0.03 per fully diluted common share, compared to net loss of $(0.5) million, or $(0.01) per fully diluted common share for the first quarter of 2025. Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2026 was $4.2 million, or $0.08 per fully diluted common share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $2.5 million, or $0.06 per fully diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2025. Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2026 includes pretax losses related to foreign currency revaluation of $0.8 million.

2026 Financial Outlook

Artivion has lowered its expectations for revenue for the full year 2026 and now expects revenue to be in the range of $480 to $496 million, representing growth of 7% to 11% on an adjusted constant currency basis compared to 2025 adjusted revenue1. This compares to the previous range of $486 to $504 million, representing growth of 10% to 14% on an adjusted constant currency basis compared to 2025 adjusted revenue1. This guidance contemplates currency to represent an approximate one percentage point tailwind for the full year.

Additionally, Artivion has lowered its expectations for adjusted EBITDA, and now expects adjusted EBITDA growth of between 12% and 20% for the full year 2026, compared
