Insights

Q1 shows solid top-line growth but weaker profitability, with full-year guidance maintained.

Park Dental Partners grew Q1 2026 revenue to $62.7M, up 6.2%, supported by 4.1% same practice revenue growth and a small increase in patient visits. Operating metrics such as doctor count and patient retention also improved year over year.

Profitability, however, softened. Gross margin declined to $6.4M and 10.2%, while net income swung to a $0.4M loss, partly influenced by higher salaries, benefits, and significant share-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA slipped to $4.7M with margin down to 7.6%.

Management maintained its 2026 outlook for revenue of $254.0–$258.0M and adjusted EBITDA of $21.0–$23.0M, assuming 3.5%–5.0% same practice growth and about $2M in recurring public company costs. Subsequent filings may provide more detail on whether cost pressures ease over the remainder of 2026.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA (b) | | $ | 4.7 | | | $ | 5.5 |"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
Same Practice Revenue Growth financial
"Same Practice Revenue Growth | | | 4.1 | % | | | 1.2 | %"
Same practice revenue growth measures how much revenue has risen or fallen at medical or professional practices that were operating in both the current and prior reporting periods, excluding income from newly acquired or newly opened locations. Think of it like comparing sales at the same set of stores instead of counting results from fresh storefronts; it tells investors whether existing operations are gaining patients, charging more, or improving efficiency, and thus reveals the business’s organic performance apart from expansion.
Patient Retention Rate financial
"Patient Retention Rate 3 | | | 90.1 | % | | | 89.2 | %"
Non-GAAP Financial Measures financial
"This news release and the related conference call include presentation of Non-GAAP measures"
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.
forward-looking statements regulatory
"Certain statements in this press release are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.
Adjusted Gross Margin financial
"RECONCILIATION OF GROSS MARGIN TO ADJUSTED GROSS MARGIN (unaudited)"
Adjusted gross margin is a measure of how much profit a company makes from its sales after accounting for certain expenses or one-time costs, but before deducting other operating expenses. It helps investors see the company's core profitability more clearly by removing factors that might distort the usual profit picture, similar to a runner measuring their speed without considering obstacles or weather. This metric provides a clearer view of the company's ongoing financial health.
Revenue $62.7 million +6.2% year over year
Net Income (Loss) $(0.4) million down from $1.6 million in Q1 2025
Diluted EPS $(0.09) down from $0.88 in Q1 2025
Adjusted EBITDA $4.7 million down from $5.5 million in Q1 2025

Executive Commentary – Pete Swenson, Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the Board of Directors

 

“We delivered a solid start to 2026, with revenue increasing 6.2% year over year, driven by strong same practice performance and continued patient demand. Results were consistent with our expectations and reflect continued execution against our operating plan. We continue to invest in recruiting, staffing, and clinical capacity to support long-term growth.

 

With strong liquidity and a flexible balance sheet, we remain well positioned to execute on our growth strategy, including expanding current practices and adding new practices through disciplined acquisitions and de novo expansion.”

 

Financial Results – First Quarter 2026

 

·Revenue increased 6.2% over the prior year’s comparable quarter to $62.7 million, due to increased patient visits and growth in clinical hours, the impact of acquisitions, and reimbursement growth. Same practice revenue growth was 4.1%. Revenue from acquisitions in the past 12 months contributed approximately $0.8 million in the quarter.

·Total General Practice revenue grew 6.4% over the prior year’s comparable quarter to $46.1 million. Total Multi-Specialty Practice revenue grew 5.7% to $16.6 million.

 

1 

 

 

·Cost of services was $56.3 million, an increase of $7.1 million above the prior year’s comparable quarter, driven primarily by share-based compensation recorded in the quarter, and growth in doctors and team members.

·General and administrative costs were $7.8 million, an increase of $0.9 million above the prior year’s comparable quarter. The primary driver of these increases was share-based compensation, acquisition-related costs, and public company costs, net of lower IPO preparation costs related to our 2025 offering.

·Net loss was $(0.4) million, compared to net income of $1.6 million in the prior year comparable quarter, primarily driven by increased salaries and benefits, and share-based compensation, partially offset by revenue growth, tax benefits on share-based compensation, and operating leverage.

·Adjusted EBITDA was $4.7 million, or 7.6% of revenue, compared to $5.5 million, or 9.3% of revenue in the prior year comparable quarter.

·Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.44 versus $1.14 in the prior year’s comparable quarter, due primarily to the increase in shares issued and vested during the IPO.

 

Affiliated Practice Updates

 

·As of March 31, 2026, we supported 86 affiliated practices and 221 affiliated doctors.

·First quarter patient retention rate was 90.1%.

·Patient visits increased to 178,527 across our affiliated dental practices.

·During the first quarter our affiliated dental practices completed one general practice acquisition in Tucson, Arizona, as previously announced on January 23, 2026. The acquired practices’ impact on revenues and net earnings was not material for the quarter.

 

Balance Sheet, Liquidity, and Cash Flow

 

·Cash and cash equivalents were $24.4 million as of March 31, 2026.

·Total debt outstanding was approximately $11.5 million as of March 31, 2026, and our $15 million line of credit was undrawn at quarter end.

·Total shares outstanding were 4.5 million shares as of the end of the quarter.

·We generated $5.0 million in operating cash flow in the first quarter, a decrease of $0.8 million compared to the prior year comparable quarter due primarily to changes in working capital.

·First quarter capital investments were $2.3 million.

 

Full-Year 2026 Outlook

 

First quarter results were consistent with our expectations, and we are maintaining our fiscal 2026 outlook range. Our outlook excludes the impact of any future practice affiliations or acquisitions that have not yet closed. As a result, actual results may differ materially depending on the timing and number of future affiliations, de novo practice openings, or acquisitions completed during the year.

Our outlook includes 3.5% to 5.0% same practice revenue growth and approximately $2 million recurring public company costs we expect to incur in 2026. The outlook assumes continued patient demand across general and specialty services, stable reimbursement trends across commercial and government payors, ongoing recruitment and retention initiatives, and contributions from recently acquired and affiliated practices and de novos. We continue to monitor patient demand and labor market trends that could impact our outlook.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

This news release and the related conference call include presentation of Non-GAAP measures that include or exclude special items of a nonrecurring and/or nonoperational nature.

Providing the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, or a quantitative reconciliation thereto, cannot be done without unreasonable effort due to the inherent uncertainty and difficulty in predicting certain non-cash, material and/or non-recurring expenses or benefits; legal settlements or other matters; and certain tax positions. The variability of these items could have an unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.

1 A patient visit is counted when service is provided to a patient at one of our affiliated dental general dentistry practices. Measuring the year-over-year change in patient visits helps us to evaluate how the affiliated dental practices are performing. It also helps with evaluating demand for services which influences decision-making relating to matters such as appropriate staffing levels and recruiting needs. In addition, it influences decision-making processes relating to our marketing, sales and advertising strategies and helps us with evaluating the effectiveness of those strategies. Further, with respect to continuing care patient count, it allows us to evaluate the ability of affiliated dentists to encourage patients to complete their diagnosed dental treatment plans.

 

2 Same practice revenues represent total revenues for same dental practice locations that have been operating for at least 13 full months prior to the end of a given reporting period and which have not been closed, or sold during such period. Measuring the year-over-year change in same practice revenues allows us to evaluate how affiliated dental practices are performing. We believe various factors affect comparable practice revenues, including patient demand for dental services, economic trends, dentist and hygienist staffing levels, availability of dentists and hygienists, pricing, competition, visibility and accessibility of the dental practices, quality of the tenants surrounding the dental practices, clinical hours and the level of patient service provided inside and outside of the dental practices.

 

3 Patient retention rate is calculated by counting patients that remain active at the beginning and end of a twelve-month period. Active patients are defined as general dentistry patients having been seen by our affiliated dental practices within the past 36 months, or last 18 months for patients under the age of 18. Patients who have not been seen by our affiliated dental practices within these time periods are removed from our active patient lists. This methodology is aligned with ADA clinical procedure codes, and is consistent with treatment protocols for new patients, before being considered an active patient again. Measuring the year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter change in patient retention allows us to evaluate the recurring nature of patient visits at the dental practices and affiliated dentists which influences decision-making around matters such as appropriate levels of staffing, recruiting, advertising and facility expansion opportunities.

 

4 Dentists operating in one of our affiliated dental practices are included in this calculation, which includes both full and part-time dentists. Measuring the year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter change in dentist count allows us to evaluate the production capacity of affiliated dental practices. It also influences decision-making relating to matters such as appropriate staffing levels and recruiting needs.
