Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Intuitive Surgical reported second-quarter 2026 results showing broad-based growth. Revenue rose 19% to $2.89 billion, driven by approximately 16% worldwide procedure growth for da Vinci and Ion systems (da Vinci about 15%, Ion about 36%). GAAP net income attributable to Intuitive was $818 million, or $2.29 per diluted share, while non-GAAP net income reached $1.00 billion, or $2.80 per diluted share. The da Vinci installed base increased 12% year over year to 11,710 systems and the Ion installed base 21% to 1,096 systems.

Income from operations increased on both GAAP and non-GAAP bases, and results included a $28 million net benefit, or $0.08 per diluted share, from IEEPA tariff refunds. Intuitive ended the quarter with $8.63 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and investments after repurchasing 0.9 million shares for $0.38 billion. For full-year 2026, the company expects worldwide da Vinci procedure growth of approximately 13.5%–15.5%, non-GAAP gross profit margin of 68.0%–69.0% of revenue (including about a 1% tariff impact), and non-GAAP operating expense growth of 11%–13%, while noting that additional tariffs could materially affect results.

non-GAAP gross profit margin financial
"Non-GAAP* gross profit margin to be within a range of 68.0% to 69.0% of revenue"
Non-GAAP gross profit margin is a company’s gross profit percentage calculated after removing certain expenses or gains that management considers unusual or not part of ongoing operations. Investors use it like looking at a cleaned-up version of a business’s core profitability—similar to judging a car’s fuel efficiency after ignoring one-off trips—because it can highlight underlying trends, but it may vary from standard accounting and can be adjusted in different ways.
International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") regulatory
"refunds for tariffs paid in prior periods under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA")"
A U.S. law that gives the government broad authority to impose economic controls—such as trade bans, asset freezes, and restrictions on payments—against foreign threats to national security, foreign policy, or the economy. Think of it like an emergency switch the government can flip to cut or limit financial and commercial links with certain countries, businesses, or individuals; investors care because those actions can suddenly block sales, freeze revenue streams, and sharply alter a company’s exposure to international markets.
share-based compensation expense financial
"Second quarter 2026 GAAP income from operations included share-based compensation expense of $213 million"
Share-based compensation expense is the accounting cost a company records when it pays employees or executives with stock, stock options, or other equity instead of cash. It matters to investors because it reduces reported profits and can dilute existing owners’ stake over time — like a bakery paying workers with slices of cake instead of money, leaving fewer slices for original owners and changing each slice’s value.
operating lease arrangements financial
"254 systems placed under operating lease arrangements, of which 131 systems were placed under usage-based operating lease arrangements"
Operating lease arrangements are contracts where a company pays to use assets — like buildings, vehicles or equipment — for a set period without owning them, similar to renting rather than buying. Investors care because these leases affect a company’s reported obligations, cash flow and profit measures: they can change how much debt and assets appear on the balance sheet and influence comparisons of profitability and financial risk across companies.
Revenue $2.89 billion Increased 19% from $2.44 billion in Q2 2025.
GAAP net income attributable to Intuitive Surgical, Inc. $818 million Up from $658 million in Q2 2025.
Non-GAAP net income attributable to Intuitive Surgical, Inc. $1.00 billion Up from $0.80 billion in Q2 2025.
GAAP diluted EPS $2.29 Up from $1.81 in Q2 2025.
Non-GAAP diluted EPS $2.80 Up from $2.19 in Q2 2025.
Worldwide procedures approximately 16% growth Year-over-year increase in combined da Vinci and Ion procedures versus Q2 2025.
Guidance

For full-year 2026, Intuitive expects worldwide da Vinci procedure growth of approximately 13.5% to 15.5%, non-GAAP gross profit margin of 68.0% to 69.0% of revenue including about a 1% tariff impact, and non-GAAP operating expense growth of 11% to 13%, noting additional tariffs could materially affect results.

Q2 Financial Summary
Gross profit, income from operations, net income attributable to Intuitive Surgical, Inc., and net income per diluted share attributable to Intuitive Surgical, Inc. are reported on a GAAP and non-GAAP* basis. The non-GAAP* measures are described below and are reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measures at the end of this release.
Second quarter 2026 revenue was $2.89 billion, an increase of 19% compared with $2.44 billion in the second quarter of 2025. The higher second quarter revenue was driven by growth in procedure volume, higher da Vinci system leasing revenue, and an increase in the installed base of da Vinci and Ion systems.
Second quarter 2026 instruments and accessories revenue increased by 18% to $1.73 billion, compared with $1.47 billion in the second quarter of 2025. The increase in instruments and accessories revenue was primarily driven by approximately 15% growth in da Vinci procedure volume and approximately 36% growth in Ion procedure volume.
Second quarter 2026 systems revenue was $685 million, compared with $575 million in the second quarter of 2025. The higher systems revenue reflected a higher lease installed base, higher da Vinci system average selling prices, and increased da Vinci system placements compared with the second quarter of 2025. The Company placed 468 da Vinci surgical systems, of which 246 were da Vinci 5 systems, in the second quarter of 2026, compared with 395 systems, of which 180 were da Vinci 5 systems, in the second quarter of 2025. The second quarter 2026 da Vinci surgical system placements included 254 systems placed under operating lease arrangements, of which 131 systems were placed under usage-based operating lease arrangements, compared with 193 systems placed under operating lease arrangements, of which 124 systems were placed under usage-based operating lease arrangements in the second quarter of 2025.

Second quarter 2026 GAAP income from operations increased to $972 million, compared with $743 million in the second quarter of 2025. Second quarter 2026 GAAP income from operations included share-based compensation expense of $213 million, compared with $200 million in the second quarter of 2025. Second quarter 2026 non-GAAP* income from operations increased to $1.22 billion, compared with $0.95 billion in the second quarter of 2025.
Second quarter 2026 GAAP net income attributable to Intuitive Surgical, Inc. was $818 million, or $2.29 per diluted share, compared with $658 million, or $1.81 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2025. Second quarter 2026 GAAP net income attributable to Intuitive Surgical, Inc. included excess tax benefits of $17 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared with $33 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2025. Additionally, second quarter 2026 GAAP net income included a benefit of $28 million, net of tax, or $0.08 per diluted share, related to refunds for tariffs paid in prior periods under IEEPA.
Second quarter 2026 non-GAAP* net income attributable to Intuitive Surgical, Inc. was $1.00 billion, or $2.80 per diluted share, compared with $0.80 billion, or $2.19 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2025. Second quarter 2026 non-GAAP* net income included a benefit of $28 million, net of tax, or $0.08 per diluted share, related to refunds for tariffs paid in prior periods under IEEPA.
The Company ended the second quarter of 2026 with $8.63 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and investments, an increase of $0.65 billion during the quarter, primarily driven by cash generated from operations, partially offset by cash used for repurchases of common stock.
“We are pleased with company performance this quarter, which reflects the strength of our portfolio – from da Vinci and Ion to our growing digital solutions,” said Dave Rosa, Intuitive CEO. “Our commitment to customers around the world – our north star – remains the same: helping them deliver better patient outcomes, better patient and care team experiences, lower costs, and broader access to minimally invasive care.”
2026 Financial Outlook
The Company expects the following results for the full year of 2026:
Worldwide da Vinci procedure growth of approximately 13.5% to 15.5% in 2026. The Company expects to be closer to the midpoint of this range.
Non-GAAP* gross profit margin to be within a range of 68.0% to 69.0% of revenue in 2026. This range includes an estimated impact from tariffs of 1.0% of revenue.
Non-GAAP* operating expense growth of 11% to 13% in 2026.
The range for expected non-GAAP* gross profit margin reflects the Company’s estimates of the adverse impact from tariffs that are currently in effect as of the time of this press release and assumes such tariffs remain in place through the end of the year. Should additional tariffs beyond our expectations be implemented, the additional impact on the Company’s financial results in 2026, including the change in expected non-GAAP* gross profit margin, could be material. The ultimate effect of tariffs will depend on various factors, including the proportion of components procured and finished goods manufactured outside of the United States and the amount, scope, nature, and timing of the tariffs.
The 2026 financial outlook provided above includes forward-looking, non-GAAP financial measures, which management uses in measuring performance. We do not provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP outlook measures to corresponding GAAP measures on a forward-looking basis, because we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty the exact timing and ultimate outcome of certain items, including but not limited to legal proceedings, without unreasonable efforts. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to the Company’s results computed in accordance with GAAP. For additional information regarding the nature of these items, refer to the reconciliations of historical GAAP to non-GAAP measures included elsewhere in this release.

*About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income attributable to Intuitive, and non-GAAP net income per diluted share attributable to Intuitive (“EPS”). The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance by excluding items such as amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation (“SBC”) and long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) expenses, acquisition-related items, gains on the sale of businesses and assets, and other special items. LTIP expense relates to phantom share awards granted in China by the Company’s Intuitive-Fosun joint venture to its employees that vest over four years and can remain outstanding for seven to ten years. These awards are valued based on certain key performance metrics. Accordingly, they are subject to significant volatility based on the performance of these metrics and are not tied to performance of the Company’s business within the period. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing its performance and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management’s internal comparisons to its historical performance. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors, because (1) they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making, and (2) they are used by institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze the performance of the Company’s business.
Non-GAAP gross profit. The Company defines non-GAAP gross profit as gross profit, excluding SBC and LTIP expenses, amortization of intangible assets, and acquisition-related items.
Non-GAAP income from operations. The Company defines non-GAAP income from operations as income from operations, excluding SBC and LTIP expenses, amortization of intangible assets, a facilities asset abandonment charge, litigation charges, acquisition-related items, and gains on the sale of businesses and assets.
Non-GAAP net income attributable to Intuitive and EPS. The Company defines non-GAAP net income as net income attributable to Intuitive, excluding SBC and LTIP expenses, amortization of intangible assets, a facilities asset abandonment charge, litigation charges, acquisition-related items, gains on the sale of businesses and assets, gains or losses on strategic investments, tax adjustments, including the excess tax benefits associated with SBC arrangements and the net tax effects related to intra-entity transfers of non-inventory assets, and adjustments attributable to noncontrolling interest in joint venture, net of the related tax effects. The Company excludes the excess tax benefits associated with SBC arrangements as well as the tax effects associated with non-cash amortization of deferred tax assets related to intra-entity non-inventory transfers, because the Company does not believe these items correlate with the ongoing results of its core operations. The tax effects of the non-GAAP items are determined by applying a calculated non-GAAP effective tax rate, which is commonly referred to as the with-and-without method. Without excluding these tax effects, investors would only see the gross effect that these non-GAAP adjustments had on the Company’s operating results. The Company’s calculated non-GAAP effective tax rate is generally higher than its GAAP effective tax rate. The Company defines non-GAAP EPS as non-GAAP net income attributable to Intuitive divided by diluted shares outstanding, which are calculated as GAAP weighted-average outstanding shares plus dilutive potential shares outstanding during the period.
There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP measures versus measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income attributable to Intuitive, and non-GAAP EPS exclude items such as SBC and LTIP expenses, amortization of intangible assets, excess tax benefits associated with SBC arrangements, and non-cash amortization of deferred tax assets related to intra-entity transfers of non-inventory assets, which are primarily recurring items. SBC expense has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense in the Company’s business. In addition, the components of the costs that the Company excludes in its calculation of non-GAAP net income attributable to Intuitive and non-GAAP EPS may differ from the components that its peer companies exclude when they report their results of operations. Management addresses these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from non-GAAP net income attributable to Intuitive and non-GAAP EPS and evaluating non-GAAP net income attributable to Intuitive and non-GAAP EPS together with net income attributable to Intuitive and net income per share attributable to Intuitive calculated in accordance with GAAP.
