Previous Earnings Reports
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nov 03 | Q3 2025 earnings | Positive | +4.6% | Strong Q3 growth, higher margins, guidance raised and debt repaid. |
| Aug 04 | Q2 2025 earnings | Neutral | +26.8% | Moderate growth, airway strength, but mixed profit and guidance update. |
| May 05 | Q1 2025 earnings | Negative | -29.0% | Flat revenue, wider loss and reduced full-year outlook. |
| Feb 18 | FY 2024 earnings | Positive | -13.3% | Strong 2024 growth, margin expansion and upbeat 2025 guidance. |
| Nov 04 | Q3 2024 earnings | Negative | -11.1% | Slower growth and sharply lower net income despite higher EBITDA. |
Earnings reactions have been volatile: despite an average move of -4.39% around earnings, the company has seen both sharp selloffs and strong rallies, particularly in 2025 as results and guidance improved quarter-to-quarter.
Over the last five earnings cycles from Q3 2024 through Q3 2025, Tactile Medical has steadily grown revenue and frequently expanded gross margins. 2024 results showed solid top-line growth but were followed by negative share reactions. In 2025, successive quarters delivered stronger earnings, significant airway clearance growth, debt repayment, and multiple share repurchase programs, with mixed but improving price responses that frame today’s 2025 year-end report.
Historical Comparison
Across the last five earnings releases, TCMD’s average one-day move was -4.39%, highlighting a history of volatile and often negative reactions around results.
Earnings since late 2024 show consistent revenue growth, improving gross margins, deleveraging via term-loan repayment, and escalating share repurchases, with 2025 results generally stronger than 2024 despite occasionally adverse stock reactions.
Market Pulse Summary
The stock is surging +21.6% following this news. A strong positive reaction aligns with the solid Q4 and full-year 2025 performance, including 21% Q4 revenue growth, higher gross margins, and increased Adjusted EBITDA. Past earnings days averaged a -4.39% move, so a sharp gain would have stood out versus history. Investors could weigh how sustained revenue growth, debt repayment, and buybacks balance against execution and reimbursement risks.

Legal Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This release contains forward-looking statements, including guidance for the full year 2025. Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by the use of words like “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend,” “continue,” “confident,” “outlook,” “guidance,” “project,” “goals,” “look forward,” “poised,” “designed,” “plan,” “return,” “focused,” “prospects” or “remain” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. The reader is cautioned not to put undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, as these statements are subject to numerous factors and uncertainties outside of the Company’s control that can make such statements untrue, including, but not limited to, the Company’s ability to obtain reimbursement from third-party payers for its products; adverse economic conditions, including inflation, rising interest rates or a recession; the adequacy of the Company’s liquidity to pursue its business objectives; price increases for supplies and components; wage and component price inflation; loss of a key supplier or other supply chain disruptions; entry of new competitors and/or competitive products; compliance with and changes in federal, state and local government laws and regulations; technological obsolescence of, or quality issues with, the Company’s products; the Company’s ability to expand its business through strategic acquisitions; the Company’s ability to integrate acquisitions and related businesses; the effects of current and future U.S. and foreign trade policy and tariff actions; or the inability to carry out research, development and commercialization plans. In addition, other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are discussed in the Company’s filings with the SEC. Investors and security holders are urged to read these documents free of charge on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise its forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA, which differs from financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA in this release represents net income, plus interest expense, net, or less interest income, net, less income tax benefit or plus income tax expense, plus depreciation and amortization, plus stock-based compensation expense, and plus executive transition costs. Reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in this press release.
This non-GAAP financial measure is presented because the Company believes it is a useful indicator of its operating performance. Management uses this measure principally as a measure of the Company’s operating performance and for planning purposes, including the preparation of the Company’s annual operating plan and financial projections. The Company believes this measure is useful to investors as supplemental information and because it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in its industry. The Company also believes this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to its management and investors as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is used as a performance metric in the Company’s compensation program.
The non-GAAP financial measure presented in this release should not be considered as an alternative to, or superior to, its respective GAAP financial measure, as a measure of financial performance or cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, and it should not be construed to imply that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as it does not reflect certain cash requirements such as tax payments, debt service requirements, capital expenditures and certain other cash costs that may recur in the future. Adjusted EBITDA contains certain other limitations, including the failure to reflect our cash expenditures, cash requirements for working capital needs and cash costs to replace assets being depreciated and amortized. In evaluating non-GAAP financial measures, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. The Company’s presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed to imply that its future results will be unaffected by any such adjustments. Management compensates for these limitations by primarily relying on the Company’s GAAP results in addition to using non-GAAP financial measures on a supplemental basis. The Company’s definition of these non-GAAP financial measures is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to different methods of calculation.
