Earnings reports have generally been strong, but price reactions have been mixed, with both sharp rallies and notable selloffs.
Over the last five earnings cycles, LeMaitre consistently reported double‑digit sales growth, expanding margins, and rising EPS, often accompanied by dividend increases and share repurchase authorizations. Cash balances steadily climbed above $300mm, while product and regional growth remained broad-based. Despite this fundamentally positive trend, share reactions varied, from a 24.41% jump on Feb 25, 2026 to declines after other strong quarters, underscoring that solid results have not always translated into uniform price gains.
Historical Comparison
Over the last five earnings releases, LMAT’s average move was 2.78%, with reactions ranging from double‑digit gains to notable pullbacks despite consistently strong fundamentals.
Recent earnings show a pattern of steady sales growth, expanding gross margins, rising EPS, and recurring capital returns via dividends and share repurchases, reinforcing a multi‑quarter trajectory of operational leverage.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement highlights strong Q1 2026 performance with sales of $66.6mm, gross margin of 72.7%, and EPS up 42%, alongside a cash balance of $367.2mm. Management reiterated growth via product and geographic expansion and guided FY 2026 mid sales to $280mm and EPS to $3.00. A quarterly dividend of $0.25/share and a $100.0mm repurchase authorization underscore ongoing capital returns. Investors may watch execution versus guidance and continued margin trends in future quarters.

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 operating income and EPS guidance adjusted to exclude the effects of the employee retention tax credit received in 2025. Management believes that viewing projected growth in operating income and EPS excluding those effects provides an alternative and meaningful view of the Company’s projected profitability. The Company’s EPS guidance assumes no dilution from the Company’s convertible notes. Dilution from convertible notes is included in GAAP EPS if the average stock price during the period exceeds the conversion price and the effect is dilutive.
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.
