Rhea-AI Filing Summary

LivaNova PLC reported stronger results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, with net revenue of $362.3 million, up 14.3% from the prior-year period. The company generated net income of $22.3 million, compared with a net loss of $327.3 million a year earlier, when it recorded a large SNIA environmental liability charge.

Cardiopulmonary revenue rose 18.3% to $208.7 million, helped by Essenz Perfusion System sales and consumables demand, while Neuromodulation revenue grew 9.3% to $151.8 million on higher implants and pricing. Operating income declined modestly to $41.5 million as research and development spending increased, including expenses tied to ImThera contingent consideration and sleep apnea device development.

The company ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $539.7 million and total debt of $287.8 million after early repaying $95.9 million under its term facilities. LivaNova recorded a current SNIA environmental liability of $389.5 million and a Saluggia site environmental provision of $41.0 million, and noted it believes it has sufficient resources to satisfy the SNIA obligation.

Insights

Revenue grew double digits and profitability normalized, but heavy environmental and contingent obligations remain significant.

LivaNova delivered net revenue of $362.3 million, up 14.3% year over year, with growth in both Cardiopulmonary and Neuromodulation. Cardiopulmonary income benefited from Essenz Perfusion System adoption and consumables, while Neuromodulation growth was offset by higher R&D and ImThera-related contingent consideration.

Operating income of $41.5 million compares with $48.6 million a year ago, but the prior period included a $360.4 million SNIA environmental liability expense that drove a large net loss. The current quarter’s net income of $22.3 million reflects a more typical earnings profile, albeit with higher R&D at 16.2% of revenue.

Liquidity appears solid with $539.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and $225.0 million of undrawn revolving capacity as of March 31, 2026. However, the recorded SNIA environmental liability of $389.5 million, Saluggia site provision of $41.0 million, Italian MedTech payback reserve of $13.3 million, and 3T litigation provision of $12.6 million represent sizable obligations. Future filings may provide additional clarity as the Court of Appeal proceedings and settlement discussions on SNIA progress.

Difficult-to-treat Depression - The Company’s broader business and strategic communications reference DTD as the preferred disease state when speaking more broadly about depression treatment, as it is a more inclusive and clinically evolving concept that encompasses patients whose depression continues to cause significant burden despite usual treatment efforts. Meanwhile, LivaNova’s RECOVER clinical study defines the patient population using the inclusion criteria for TRD, typically characterized by major depressive disorder that does not adequately respond to at least two different antidepressant treatments given at an appropriate dose and duration. As a result, the Company uses TRD in the context of the RECOVER study to maintain consistency with the study protocol approved by the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

CAUTIONARY NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in this Report, other than statements of historical or current fact, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. These statements include, but are not limited to, LivaNova’s plans, objectives, strategies, financial performance and outlook, trends, the amount and timing of future cash distributions, prospects, or future events, and involve known and unknown risks that are difficult to predict. As a result, the Company’s actual financial results, performance, achievements, or prospects may differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Generally, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “could,” “seek,” “guidance,” “predict,” “potential,” “likely,” “believe,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “intend,” “forecast,” “foresee,” or variations of these terms and similar expressions, or the negative of these terms or similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements are necessarily based on estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by LivaNova and its management based on their knowledge and understanding of the business and industry, are inherently uncertain. These statements are not guarantees of future performance, and shareholders should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. There are a number of risks, uncertainties, and other important factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this Report, and include, but are not limited to, the following risks and uncertainties: volatility in the global market and worldwide economic conditions; adverse changes in export and import costs and other trade restrictions as well as uncertainty over global tariffs; risks relating to supply chain pressures; failure to protect, maintain, or upgrade LivaNova’s IT systems or products, or safeguard against cybersecurity incidents, service disruptions, or data corruption; costs of complying with privacy and security of personal information requirements and laws; changes in technology, including the development of superior or alternative technology or devices by competitors and/or competition from providers of alternative medical therapies; risks related to AI integration and regulation; failure of investments, alliances, acquisitions, or divestitures to achieve expected returns; failure to maintain appropriate working relationships with healthcare professionals to aid in the continuing development of products; the risk of quality issues and the impacts thereof; risks relating to recalls, replacement of inventory, enforcement actions, or product liability claims; failure to comply with, or changes in, laws, regulations, or administrative practices affecting government regulation of the Company’s products; failure to retain talent, maintain an effective succession plan, and negotiate successfully with local works councils; failure to obtain or maintain approvals, clearance, or reimbursement in relation to the Company’s products; unfavorable results from clinical studies or failure to meet milestones; global healthcare policy changes that may lead to restricted access and pricing as well as payback requirements and limited reimbursement; failure to comply with rules relating to healthcare goods and services as well as anti-bribery laws; the unfavorable impact of pending or existing climate change; product liability, intellectual property, shareholder-related, environmental-related, income tax, and other litigation, disputes, losses, and costs, including in the case of the Company’s 3T Heater-Cooler litigation; risks associated with environmental laws and regulations as well as environmental liabilities, violations, and litigation, including in the case of Saluggia and SNIA; failure to protect the Company’s proprietary intellectual property; changes in tax laws and regulations, including exposure to additional income tax liabilities; risks relating to the Company’s indebtedness; risks associated with potential government shutdowns; the potential for impairments of intangible assets, goodwill, and other long-lived assets; risks associated with public health crises; risks associated with shareholder activism; effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting; changes in the Company’s profitability and/or failure to manage costs and expenses; fluctuations in future quarterly operating results and/or variations in revenue and operating expenses relative to estimates; and other unknown or unpredictable factors that could harm the Company’s financial performance.
Other factors that could cause LivaNova’s actual results to differ from projected results are described in: (1) “Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Report and the Company’s other Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, (2) the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K, (3) the Company’s reports and registration statements filed with and furnished from time to time to the SEC, and (4) other announcements LivaNova makes from time to time.

The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Report.

LIVANOVA PLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of LivaNova and the notes thereto as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of LivaNova as of December 31, 2025 has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements contained in LivaNova’s 2025 Form 10-K but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the operating results of LivaNova and its subsidiaries for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026. The financial information presented herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto accompanying LivaNova’s 2025 Form 10-K.
Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements
During the second quarter of 2025, the Company identified and corrected an immaterial error related to the classification of certain employee costs in the Cardiopulmonary segment between cost of sales and selling, general, and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of income (loss). This misclassification understated cost of sales and overstated selling, general, and administrative expense by equal and offsetting amounts, with no impact to operating income (loss) or net income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company evaluated the error and determined that the related impact was not material to the consolidated statements of income (loss) for any prior period and had no impact on the consolidated balance sheets, statements of comprehensive income (loss), statements of cash flows, or statements of shareholders’ equity for the above period. The Company has revised the previously issued condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to correct for the error, and these revisions are reflected in this Form 10-Q. A summary of the corrections to the impacted financial statement line items in the previously issued consolidated statements of income (loss) and disaggregated Cardiopulmonary segment income disclosure for each affected period is presented in “Note 13. Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements.”
Significant Accounting Policies
LivaNova’s significant accounting policies are included within “Note 2. Basis of Presentation, Use of Accounting Estimates, and Significant Accounting Policies” and “Note 3. Revenue Recognition” of LivaNova’s 2025 Form 10-K.
Note 2. Derivatives and Risk Management
Due to the global nature of LivaNova’s operations, the Company is exposed to FX fluctuations. LivaNova enters into FX derivative contracts to reduce the impact of FX fluctuations on earnings and cash flow.
LivaNova is also exposed to equity price risk in connection with its 2029 Notes, including exchange/conversion and settlement provisions based on the price of its ordinary shares at exchange/conversion or maturity of the 2029 Notes. The 2029 Capped Calls associated with the 2029 Notes also include settlement provisions that are based on the price of LivaNova’s ordinary shares, subject to a capped price per share.
These derivatives are intended to serve as economic hedges and follow the cash flows of the economic hedged item. LivaNova does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes.
LivaNova had no designated hedging instruments as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Freestanding FX Derivatives
LivaNova uses freestanding derivative forward contracts to offset the variability of the value associated with intercompany loans denominated in a foreign currency. The gross notional amount of freestanding FX derivative contracts outstanding as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $128.2 million and $113.2 million, respectively. LivaNova recorded net losses of $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and net gains of $10.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from freestanding derivatives. These amounts, together with foreign currency remeasurement gains and losses on the underlying intercompany loans, are included in foreign exchange and other income/(expense) in LivaNova’s condensed consolidated statements of income (loss).
9


Capped Call Derivatives
The Capped Call Transactions are carried on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as a derivative asset at their estimated fair value and are adjusted at the end of each reporting period, with unrealized gain or loss reflected in foreign exchange and other income/(expense) in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). The Capped Call Transactions are measured at fair value using the Black-Scholes model utilizing observable and unobservable market data, including share price, remaining contractual term, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividend yield, as applicable. For additional information, refer to “Note 3. Fair Value Measurements,” and “Note 11. Supplemental Financial Information.”
2029 Capped Calls
In March 2024, LivaNova issued the 2029 Notes. In connection with the pricing of the 2029 Notes, the Company entered into related privately-negotiated capped call transactions with certain financial institutions. Under the 2029 Capped Calls, the Company purchased a capped call option with an initial strike price of $69.40 and an initial cap price of $94.28 per share. The strike price, which is subject to certain adjustments, corresponds to the initial conversion price of the 2029 Notes. The 2029 Capped Calls are intended to offset any cash payments and/or cash equivalent value of ordinary shares upon conversion of the 2029 Notes if the market value per ordinary share is greater than the strike price, with such offsets being subject to the initial cap price of $94.28 per share. However, the proceeds under the 2029 Capped Calls are limited to the initial cap price in the event the Company’s share price exceeds the cap price at the time of conversion. The 2029 Capped Calls expire on March 15, 2029, and must be settled in cash. The 2029 Capped Calls are subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the 2029 Notes and cover the number of LivaNova’s ordinary shares underlying the 2029 Notes. If the 2029 Capped Calls are terminated early, settlement occurs at their termination value, which is equal to their fair value at the time of the early termination.
2025 Capped Calls
In June 2020, LivaNova issued the 2025 Notes. In connection with the pricing of the 2025 Notes, the Company entered into related privately-negotiated capped call transactions with certain financial institutions. Under the 2025 Capped Calls, the Company purchased a capped call option with an initial strike price of $60.98 and an initial cap price of $100.00 per share. The strike price, subject to certain adjustments, corresponds to the initial exchange price of the 2025 Notes. The 2025 Capped Calls were intended to offset any cash payments upon exchange of the 2025 Notes in excess of the principal amount. In connection with the issuance of the 2029 Notes, the Company repurchased an aggregate principal amount of $230.0 million of the 2025 Notes and unwound a corresponding portion of the 2025 Capped Calls at the fair value of such portion of the 2025 Capped Calls. The Company received $22.5 million in cash consideration, the fair value of the terminated portion, upon settlement. The remaining 2025 Capped Calls expired with a fair value of zero on December 15, 2025.
Embedded Derivatives
The 2025 Notes included, and the 2029 Notes include, terms resulting in a bifurcated embedded derivative. The Embedded Derivatives are measured at fair value using a binomial lattice model and estimated discounted cash flows that utilize observable and unobservable market data and are adjusted at the end of each reporting period, with the unrealized gain or loss reflected in foreign exchange and other income/(expense) in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). For additional information, refer to “Note 11. Supplemental Financial Information.”
Balance Sheet Presentation
LivaNova offsets fair value amounts associated with its derivative instruments that are executed with the same counterparty under master netting arrangements on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Master netting arrangements include a right to set off or net together purchases and sales of similar products in the settlement process.

Note 3. Fair Value Measurements
LivaNova reviews its fair value hierarchy classification on a quarterly basis. Changes in the ability to observe valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of levels for certain securities in the fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

(2)For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the contingent consideration change in fair value resulted in an increase of $1.1 million recorded to cost of sales and an increase of $9.6 million recorded to R&D. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the contingent consideration change in fair value was primarily recorded to R&D.
Share Price Volatility
The share price volatility utilized in determining the fair value of LivaNova’s 2029 Capped Call derivative assets and 2029 Embedded Derivative liability as of March 31, 2026 was 39%. In general, an increase in LivaNova’s share price or share price volatility would increase the fair value of the embedded and capped call derivatives, which would result in an increase in net expense. As the remaining time to the expiration of the derivatives decreases, the fair value of the derivatives decreases. The future impact of the derivatives on net income (loss) depends on how significant inputs, such as share price volatility, and time to the expiration of the derivatives, change in relation to other inputs.
Contingent Consideration Arrangements
The ImThera business combination involved contingent consideration arrangements comprised of potential cash payments upon the achievement of a certain regulatory milestone and a sales-based earnout associated with sales of products. The sales-based
12


earnouts are valued using projected sales from LivaNova’s internal strategic plan. These arrangements are Level 3 fair value measurements and include the following significant unobservable inputs as of March 31, 2026:

Other
The carrying value of LivaNova’s long-term debt including the current portion as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $285.3 million and $376.1 million, respectively. The fair value of the 2029 Notes, excluding the conversion feature, as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $306.0 million and $315.2 million, respectively. The fair value was estimated using a discounted cash flow model and is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. For all other long-term debt obligations, LivaNova believes the carrying value approximates fair value. The fair values and principal values consider the terms of the related debt and exclude the impacts of debt discounts and hedging activity.

Revolving Credit and Term Facilities
The outstanding principal amount of LivaNova’s short-term unsecured revolving credit agreements and other agreements with various banks was $2.5 million and $0.6 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, with an interest rate of 5.33% as of March 31, 2026.
On March 8, 2024, LivaNova and LivaNova USA entered into Incremental Facility Amendment No. 3, which provides for LivaNova USA to obtain revolving commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $225.0 million, and matures on March 8, 2029. There were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving facilities under the 2021 First Lien Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. As of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the applicable commitment fee percentage was 0.25% per annum. As of March 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants contained in the 2021 First Lien Credit Agreement.
On January 8, 2026, LivaNova paid $95.9 million in an early repayment of the remaining amount outstanding under the Term Facilities in full. The early repayment resulted in the recognition of a loss on debt extinguishment of $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, associated with the write-off of the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs, and is included within interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss).

2029 Notes
The effective interest rate of the 2029 Notes was 9.84% as of March 31, 2026. The unamortized debt discount and issuance costs related to the 2029 Notes as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were $64.8 million and $69.4 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, the conditions for conversion were not met. The Company included its obligations from the 2029 Notes and the associated embedded derivative as long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2026, and the 2029 Notes are not convertible for the three months ending June 30, 2026. For additional information regarding the 2029 Notes, refer to LivaNova’s 2025 Form 10-K.
Note 5. Commitments and Contingencies
Saluggia Site Hazardous Substances
LSM, formerly a subsidiary of Sorin, one of the companies that merged into LivaNova PLC in 2015, manages site services for the campus in Saluggia, Italy. In addition to being a former LivaNova manufacturing facility, the Saluggia campus is also the location of manufacturing facilities of third parties, a cafeteria for workers, and storage facilities for hazardous substances and equipment previously used in a nuclear research center, later turned nuclear medicine business, between the 1960s and the late 1990s. Pursuant to authorization from the Italian government, LSM performs ordinary maintenance, secures the facilities, monitors air and water quality, and files applicable reports with the competent environmental authorities.
In 2020, LSM received correspondence from ISIN requesting that, within five years, LSM demonstrate the financial capacity to meet its obligations under Italian law to clean and dismantle any contaminated buildings and equipment, as well as to deliver hazardous substances to a national repository. The national repository will be built by the Italian government at a location and time yet to be determined. ISIN subsequently published Technical Guide n. 30, which identifies the technical criteria and general safety and protection requirements for the design, construction, operation, and dismantling of temporary storage facilities for the hazardous substances.
Although there is no legal obligation to deliver any hazardous substances, as the performance of these obligations is contingent on the construction of the as-yet unbuilt national repository, based on the aforementioned factors, the Company concluded its obligation to clean, dismantle, and deliver any hazardous substances to a national repository is probable and reasonably estimable. The estimated liability as of March 31, 2026 was $41.0 million (€35.5 million), which represented the estimated low end of the range of loss, with an estimated maximum end of the range of loss of $54.6 million (€47.3 million). The estimated liability as of December 31, 2025 was $41.8 million (€35.6 million).
SNIA Environmental Litigation
Sorin was created as a result of a spin-off from SNIA in 2004. SNIA subsequently became insolvent, and the Public Administrations sought compensation from SNIA in an aggregate amount of approximately $4.0 billion for remediation costs relating to the environmental damage at chemical sites previously operated by SNIA’s other subsidiaries. In 2012, SNIA filed a civil action against Sorin in the Civil Court of Milan, asserting joint liability of a parent and a spun-off company; the Public Administrations entered voluntarily into the proceeding, asking Sorin, as jointly liable with SNIA, to pay compensation for SNIA’s environmental damages. In 2015, Sorin was merged into LivaNova.
In 2016, the Court of Milan dismissed all legal actions of SNIA and of the Public Administrations, further requiring the Public Administrations to pay Sorin €292,000 ($336,677 as of March 31, 2026) for legal fees. The Public Administrations appealed the 2016 Decision to the Court of Appeal. In March 2019, the Court of Appeal issued a partial decision on the merits declaring LivaNova jointly liable with SNIA for SNIA’s environmental liabilities in an amount up to the fair value of the net worth received by Sorin because of the spin-off of Sorin from SNIA in 2004, an estimated €572.1 million ($659.6 million as of March 31, 2026). LivaNova appealed the partial decision on liability to the Italian Supreme Court in August 2019.
In 2021, the Court of Appeal delivered the remainder of its decision, ordering LivaNova to pay damages of €453.6 million ($523.0 million as of March 31, 2026). LivaNova appealed the decision on damages in December 2021. In February 2022, the Court of Appeal notified the Company that it granted the Company a suspension with respect to the payment of damages until a decision was reached on the appeal to the Italian Supreme Court, subject to LivaNova providing a first demand bank guarantee of €270.0 million ($311.3 million as of March 31, 2026); LivaNova delivered the SNIA Litigation Guarantee in March 2022.
In November 2022, the Italian Supreme Court issued a procedural document whereby the Italian Supreme Court referred a question on the interpretation of a European directive on demergers to the ECJ. Specifically, the ordinance asked the ECJ to provide a binding decision as to whether a company resulting from a demerger can be held jointly and severally liable not only for the established liabilities of the demerged company that were articulated at the time of demerger, but also for the environmental liabilities of the demerged company that materialized after the demerger which are derived from actions performed prior to the demerger. In July 2024, the ECJ issued a judgment, stating that a demerged company can be held
14


responsible for liabilities not established prior to a demerger as long as the liabilities derive from the conduct of a demerged company prior to the demerger. The ECJ judgment also states that national law should determine whether liability for damages stemming from conduct after a demerger can be assigned to a demerged company.
On March 14, 2025, the Italian Supreme Court issued its decision in response to all of the appeals of the Company and counter-appeals submitted by the Public Administrations. The Italian Supreme Court determined that LivaNova can be held jointly and severally liable for the established liabilities of SNIA at the time of demerger, as well as the environmental liabilities of the demerged company that materialized after the demerger, which are derived from actions performed prior to the demerger; however, the Italian Supreme Court also ruled that the Company should not be held responsible for certain payments previously approved by the Court of Appeal in the amount of €157.3 million ($181.3 million as of March 31, 2026). The case was referred back to the Court of Appeal to implement the decisions respecting costs and damages in accordance with the judgment of the Italian Supreme Court.
On March 31, 2025, as a result of the decision by the Italian Supreme Court, the SNIA Litigation Guarantee was terminated, and the restriction on the cash deposit held as collateral was released. For additional information on the financing of the guarantee, refer to “Note 11. Supplemental Financial Information.”
On May 15, 2025, as a procedural step, the Public Administrations served the Company with a filing to return the proceedings to the Court of Appeal. In addition to seeking a return of the case to the Court of Appeal, the Public Administrations asserted that the Court of Appeal forgo an examination of the amounts disapproved by the Italian Supreme Court and instead impose costs of €108.8 million ($125.4 million as of March 31, 2026) at a minimum. These assertions are counter to the decision of the Italian Supreme Court’s judgment, which disapproved costs of €157.3 million ($181.3 million as of March 31, 2026). The Public Administrations’ filing is not a legal judgment or demand for payment.
At a hearing on January 28, 2026, the Court of Appeal scheduled a hearing for June 24, 2026 to allow the parties to discuss a possible out-of-court resolution of the matter. Discussions remain ongoing, and there can be no assurance that they will result in a settlement.
As a result of the March 14, 2025 decision by the Italian Supreme Court, the Company recorded a current liability in the first quarter of 2025. As of March 31, 2026, the current liability on the consolidated balance sheet was €337.8 million ($389.5 million), representing the Company’s best estimate inclusive of estimated costs, fees, interest, and taxes. These estimated costs do not include the Company’s legal fees, which are expensed as incurred and included in SG&A in LivaNova’s condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). As of the date of this filing, the Company believes the amount recorded for the SNIA matter remains its best estimate and has determined that it has sufficient resources to satisfy the liability.
Product Liability Litigation
The Company continues to be involved in litigation involving LivaNova’s 3T device. The litigation includes the cases remaining in the federal multi-district litigation in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania and various U.S. state courts, as well as claims in jurisdictions outside the United States. As of May 6, 2026, the Company was aware of approximately 60 filed and unfiled claims worldwide. The complaints generally seek damages and other relief based on theories of strict liability, negligence, breach of express and implied warranties, failure to warn, design and manufacturing defect, fraudulent and negligent misrepresentation or concealment, unjust enrichment, and violations of various state consumer protection statutes.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the provision for these matters was $12.6 million and $15.6 million, respectively. While the amount accrued represents LivaNova’s best estimate for those worldwide filed and unfiled claims of which LivaNova is aware and believes are both probable and estimable at this time, the actual liability for resolution of these matters may vary from the Company’s provision. A provision has not been recorded for any claims where a potential loss is not determined to be probable, or a potential loss or range of potential loss is not reasonably estimable at this time.

Italian MedTech Payback Measure
In 2015, the Italian Parliament introduced a law regarding public contracts with the National Healthcare System for the supply of goods and services. In particular, the law introduced a payback measure requiring companies selling medical devices in Italy to repay a percentage of the healthcare expenditures exceeding the regional maximum caps for medical devices. In 2024, the Constitutional Court upheld the payback law, and it entered into force in August 2025. In June 2025, the Italian government introduced a settlement mechanism for 2015-2018 obligations, in which the Company elected to participate. In September 2025, the Company paid €3.5 million ($4.0 million as of March 31, 2026), representing full settlement of its obligations for that period, and reversed the remaining $3.8 million reserve associated with those years. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had a reserve of $13.3 million and $12.8 million, respectively, reflecting its best estimate of the full potential obligation for 2019 to present; however, the actual liability could vary. The reserve is included in accrued liabilities and other in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amounts recognized associated with the Italian MedTech payback measure are recorded as a reduction to net revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss).
Other Matters
LivaNova is the subject of various pending or threatened legal actions and proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of LivaNova’s business. These matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes that are not predictable and may not be known for extended periods of time. Since the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the costs associated with them could have a material adverse effect on LivaNova’s consolidated results of operations, financial condition, and/or cash flows.

Note 8. Income Taxes
LivaNova’s effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was 15.8% and (3.7)%, respectively. The changes in the effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the prior year period, were primarily attributable to year-over-year changes in income before income tax in countries with varying statutory tax rates, certain discrete tax items, including the SNIA environmental liability, and changes in valuation allowances.
The OBBBA was enacted in the U.S. on July 4, 2025 and includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework, and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. LivaNova has accounted for the relevant changes within its annual effective tax rate and cash taxes.
The Company considers all available evidence (both positive and negative) in determining whether a valuation allowance is required. Depending on operating results in the future, a release of a valuation allowance could occur within the next 12 months. The timing and amount of the valuation allowance release could vary based on the Company’s assessment of all available evidence.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes, which appear elsewhere in this Report, and with LivaNova’s 2025 Form 10-K. LivaNova’s discussion and analysis may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company’s actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A. of LivaNova’s 2025 Form 10-K, as updated and supplemented by LivaNova’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, including in Part II, Item 1A. and elsewhere in this Report. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of LivaNova and its consolidated subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP on an interim basis. The capitalized terms used below are defined in the “Definitions” section and in the notes to LivaNova’s condensed consolidated financial statements in this Report.
Description of the Business
LivaNova PLC is a market-leading global medical technology company. The Company designs, develops, manufactures, markets, and sells products, therapies, and services that are consistent with LivaNova’s mission to “create ingenious medical solutions that ignite patient turnarounds.” LivaNova is a public limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales and is headquartered in London, England. LivaNova’s ordinary shares are listed for trading on the Nasdaq under the symbol “LIVN.”
Macroeconomic Environment and Global Supply Chain
The current macroeconomic environment, including FX volatility, inflationary pressures, and geopolitical instability, and global supply chain challenges have impacted and may continue to impact LivaNova’s business, consolidated results of operations, financial condition, and/or cash flows. Furthermore, LivaNova continues to experience logistical, capacity, and labor constraints. However, to date, the Company’s supply of raw materials and the production and distribution of finished products have not been materially affected. The Company continues to respond to such challenges. While LivaNova has business continuity plans in place, the impact of the ongoing challenges the Company is navigating, along with their potential escalation, may adversely affect its business.
In addition, the impact that the imposition of tariffs and changes to global trade policies could have on the Company’s results of operations is uncertain. A significant number of LivaNova’s Cardiopulmonary products and component parts are sourced and produced outside of the U.S., including in Italy and Germany. Similarly, LivaNova manufactures its Neuromodulation products in the U.S., which are then often distributed internationally. For additional information, see “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K.
Business Segments
LivaNova identifies operating segments based on how it manages, evaluates, and internally reports its business activities to allocate resources, develop, and execute its strategy and assess performance. LivaNova has two reportable segments: Cardiopulmonary and Neuromodulation. For additional information regarding LivaNova’s reportable segments, historical financial information, and its methodology for the presentation of financial results, refer to the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of this Report.
Cardiopulmonary
LivaNova’s Cardiopulmonary segment is engaged in the design, development, manufacture, marketing, and sale of cardiopulmonary products, including HLMs, oxygenators, autotransfusion systems, perfusion tubing systems, cannulae, and other related accessories, and provides services related to certain of these products. In particular, the Cardiopulmonary segment includes the Essenz Perfusion System, the Company’s next-generation HLM with an embedded patient monitor for tailored patient care strategies and sensing technology for data-driven decision-making during cardiopulmonary bypass procedures.
Information on the Cardiopulmonary segment that could potentially impact LivaNova’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures is incorporated by reference to “Note 5. Commitments and Contingencies: Product Liability Litigation” in the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Report.
Neuromodulation
LivaNova’s Neuromodulation segment is engaged in the design, development, manufacture, marketing, and sale of devices that deliver neuromodulation therapy for treating DRE and DTD, as well as the design and development of neurostimulation devices for treating OSA.
24


The segment’s principal product for DRE and DTD, the VNS Therapy System, consists of an implantable pulse generator and connective lead that stimulates the left vagus nerve, surgical equipment to assist with the implant procedure, and equipment and instruction manuals that enable a treating healthcare professional to set parameters for a patient’s pulse generator. The lead does not need to be removed to replace a generator with a depleted battery.
The Neuromodulation segment also includes devices for the treatment of OSA, which are designed to stimulate the hypoglossal nerve and activate specific tongue and palate muscles to help keep the airway open during sleep. On March 18, 2026, the FDA granted PMA for the aura6000 System for the treatment of adult patients with moderate to severe OSA who have failed, do not tolerate, or are ineligible for first-line therapies, such as positive airway pressure.
Critical Accounting Estimates 
For a discussion of LivaNova’s critical accounting estimates, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in the 2025 Form 10-K. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, there were no material changes to the application of critical accounting policies and estimates previously disclosed in LivaNova’s 2025 Form 10-K.

Cardiopulmonary
Cardiopulmonary net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased 18.3% to $208.7 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, with growth across all regions, driven by Essenz Perfusion System sales, strong consumables demand, and favorable realized price.
Cardiopulmonary segment income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $30.1 million, compared to segment income of $24.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in segment income primarily resulted from an increase in net revenue, as described above.
Neuromodulation
Neuromodulation net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased 9.3% to $151.8 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, with growth across all regions, driven by total implant growth and favorable realized price.
Neuromodulation segment income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $44.2 million, compared to $52.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in segment income primarily resulted from $9.7 million of higher expense from the net unfavorable change in fair value of contingent consideration arrangements associated with the ImThera
26


acquisition, as well as a $5.5 million increase in R&D expense associated with the design and development of neurostimulation devices for treating OSA, partially offset by an increase in net revenue, as described above.

(1)The above table and commentary below present revised financial results, as discussed in “Note 1. Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” and “Note 13. Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements” in the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Report.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales consists of direct labor, allocated manufacturing overhead, and the acquisition of raw materials and components.
Cost of sales as a percentage of net revenue was 32.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, representing an increase of 1.0 percentage points compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to unfavorable product mix.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expense
SG&A expense consists of sales, marketing, general, and administrative activities.
SG&A expense as a percentage of net revenue was 39.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, representing a decrease of 1.2 percentage points compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily driven by fixed cost leverage.
Research and Development Expense
R&D expense consists of product design and development efforts, clinical study programs, and regulatory activities.
R&D expense as a percentage of net revenue was 16.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, representing an increase of 4.2 percentage points compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to $8.9 million of higher expense from the net unfavorable change in fair value of the milestone-based contingent consideration arrangement associated with the ImThera acquisition, as well as a $5.5 million increase in costs associated with the design and development of neurostimulation devices for treating OSA.
SNIA Environmental Liability Expense
On March 14, 2025, the Italian Supreme Court issued its decision in response to all of the appeals of the Company and counter-appeals submitted by the Public Administrations. The Italian Supreme Court determined that LivaNova can be held jointly and severally liable for the established liabilities of SNIA at the time of demerger, as well as the environmental liabilities of the demerged company that materialized after the demerger, which are derived from actions performed prior to the demerger. As a result of the decision by the Italian Supreme Court, the Company recorded €333.3 million ($360.4 million) as SNIA environmental liability expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025. For additional information, refer to “Note 5. Commitments and Contingencies” in the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Report.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased to $8.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $15.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to repayments of the Term Facilities and 2025 Notes. For additional information, refer to “Note 4. Financing Arrangements” in the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Report.
Foreign Exchange and Other Income/(Expense)
Foreign exchange and other income/(expense) consists primarily of gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in a currency different from an entity’s functional currency, FX derivative gains and losses, interest income, changes in the fair value of embedded and capped call derivatives, and gains and losses associated with LivaNova’s investments.
27


Foreign exchange and other income/(expense) was expense of $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to income of $11.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. For additional information, refer to “Note 11. Supplemental Financial Information” in the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Report.
Income Tax Expense
LivaNova’s effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was 15.8% and (3.7)%, respectively. The changes in the effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the prior year period, were primarily attributable to year-over-year changes in income before income tax in countries with varying statutory tax rates, certain discrete tax items, including the SNIA environmental liability, and changes in valuation allowances.
The OBBBA was enacted in the U.S. on July 4, 2025 and includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework, and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. LivaNova has accounted for the relevant changes within its annual effective tax rate and cash taxes.
The Company considers all available evidence (both positive and negative) in determining whether a valuation allowance is required. Depending on operating results in the future, a release of a valuation allowance could occur within the next 12 months. The timing and amount of the valuation allowance release could vary based on the Company’s assessment of all available evidence.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Based on LivaNova’s current business plan, the Company believes that its sources of liquidity, which primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, future cash generated from operations, and available borrowings under its revolving credit facility, will be sufficient to fund its uses of liquidity, primarily consisting of day-to-day operating expenses, working capital, capital expenditures, acquisition earnouts, commitments and contingencies, including the SNIA environmental liability, and debt service requirements over the twelve-month period beginning from the issuance date of this Report. From time to time, LivaNova may access debt and/or equity markets to optimize its capital structure, raise additional capital, or increase liquidity, as necessary. LivaNova’s liquidity could be adversely affected by the factors affecting future operating results, including those referred to in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the 2025 Form 10-K, as well as “Note 5. Commitments and Contingencies” in the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Report.
LivaNova’s operating and working capital obligations primarily consist of liabilities arising from the normal course of business, including inventory supply contracts, the future settlement of derivative instruments, and future payments of operating leases, as well as contingent consideration arrangements resulting from acquisitions and obligations associated with legal and other accruals.

Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased by $8.8 million, compared to the same prior year period, primarily due to an increase in annual incentive payouts and higher cash outflows for inventories, partially offset by higher customer collections resulting from an increase in sales, as well as lower payments for professional services.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased $4.0 million, compared to the same prior year period, primarily due to an increase in purchases of property, plant, and equipment of $3.5 million, principally related to purchases and development of internal-use software.
Financing Activities

Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

Disclosure Pursuant to Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act of 1934
Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act requires issuers to disclose in quarterly reports, among other things, certain types of dealings with Iran and other entities, including transactions or dealings with government-owned entities, even when those activities are lawful and do not involve U.S. persons. Two of LivaNova’s non-U.S. subsidiaries currently sell medical devices, including cardiopulmonary and neuromodulation products, to distributors and a non-governmental organization in Iran to support patient care in that country. LivaNova has limited visibility into the identity of the customers of these distributors and non-governmental organizations in Iran. It is possible that their customers include entities, such as government-owned hospitals or sub-distributors that are owned or controlled directly or indirectly by the Iranian government. However, to the best of its knowledge at this time, LivaNova does not have any contracts or commercial arrangements with the Iranian government or other relevant entities.
LivaNova’s gross revenue and net profits attributable to the above-mentioned Iranian activities were $1.6 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
LivaNova believes its activities are consistent with applicable law, including U.S., UK, European Union, and other applicable sanctions laws, though such laws are complex and continue to evolve rapidly. The Company intends to continue its business in Iran.

LivaNova reported net revenue of $362.3 million and net income of $22.3 million for Q1 2026. A year earlier it posted a $327.3 million net loss driven by a large SNIA environmental liability charge, so results reflect a return to normal profitability.

How did LivaNova’s Cardiopulmonary and Neuromodulation segments perform in Q1 2026?

Cardiopulmonary revenue rose to $208.7 million, up 18.3%, supported by Essenz Perfusion System sales and consumables. Neuromodulation revenue increased 9.3% to $151.8 million, driven by implant growth and pricing, though segment income declined due to higher R&D and ImThera contingent consideration.

What is the status of LivaNova’s SNIA environmental liability as of March 31, 2026?

LivaNova recorded a current SNIA environmental liability of €337.8 million (about $389.5 million) as of March 31, 2026. This reflects its best estimate of amounts owed, including estimated costs, fees, interest, and taxes, following the Italian Supreme Court decision and ongoing Court of Appeal proceedings.

At March 31, 2026, LivaNova held $539.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and had total debt of $287.8 million. The company also had $225.0 million available under its revolving credit facility and reported working capital of $251.8 million, supporting its stated liquidity outlook.

How did LivaNova’s cash flow change in Q1 2026 compared with Q1 2025?

Net cash provided by operating activities was $15.2 million in Q1 2026 versus $24.0 million a year earlier. The decline mainly reflected higher incentive payouts and inventory outflows, partly offset by stronger customer collections and lower professional services payments, while capital expenditures increased to $23.7 million.

On March 18, 2026, the FDA granted premarket approval (PMA) for LivaNova’s aura6000 System to treat adult patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea who have failed, do not tolerate, or are ineligible for first-line therapies such as positive airway pressure.
