How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue"
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.
pro forma revenue financial
"On a pro forma basis, revenue increased 8.5% year-over-year"
An adjusted measure of a company’s sales that shows what revenue would have been after removing one-time items or applying certain assumptions—for example, treating a recent acquisition as if it had existed for the whole period. It matters to investors because it aims to reveal the business’s underlying trend by smoothing out irregular events, like showing a photo with distractions removed; however, the adjustments can vary, so compare how the number was calculated before relying on it.
indemnity holdback financial
"retention earn-out and indemnity holdback release"
An indemnity holdback is a portion of the purchase price that a buyer keeps in reserve for a set time after a deal to cover any losses from broken promises, errors, or undisclosed problems discovered later. Think of it like money held in escrow after buying a house to pay for unexpected repairs; it protects the buyer from sudden costs and signals potential ongoing financial risk for investors because it delays full cash delivery and may lead to future claims.
normothermic regional perfusion medical
"organ placement and normothermic regional perfusion"
Normothermic regional perfusion is a medical technique that temporarily restores warm blood flow to specific organs after a patient’s circulation has stopped, keeping the organs alive and functional until they can be removed for transplant. For investors, it matters because the method can increase the number and quality of transplantable organs, creating demand for specialized equipment, supplies and services and potentially affecting regulatory approvals, reimbursement and market growth in transplant-related technologies.

"Our strong third quarter results speak for themselves," said Melissa Tomkiel, Co-CEO and General Counsel. "We demonstrated additional market share gains in our clinical business, continued sequential margin improvement, and a reduction in our Adjusted SG&A base quarter-over-quarter, even following our significant growth and the completion of three acquisitions during Q2."
Tomkiel continued, "Strategically, this quarter puts a spotlight on the scalability and cash generation potential of our business model with a record $8.6 million of Free Cash Flow in Q3. Tactically, we are happy to see Logistics gross margins back up above our 20% target faster than we anticipated."
"Given Strata's improved cash generation coupled with the receipt of our first passenger sale earn-out, we are now in a position to both accelerate our target pace of acquisitions as well as opportunistically return cash to shareholders through our new buyback program," said Will Heyburn, Co-CEO and CFO. "We have an excellent pipeline of opportunities to deploy capital at mid-single-digit cash flow multiples with a focus on opportunities that will further enhance our overall margin and free cash conversion profile."
Heyburn continued, "We are also pleased to report that we are pacing ahead of the medium-term goals we set out last year. The underlying driver of our financial performance is simple: better service, architected for efficiency, delivered in partnership with our customers to prioritize their individual preferences and our shared goal to save more lives."

Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2026 Financial Highlights
▪Total revenue increased 50.3% to $74.1 million in Q3 2026 versus $49.3 million in the prior year period driven by Clinical acquisitions partially offset by Logistics. On a pro forma(1) basis, revenue increased 8.5% year-over-year in Q3 2026.
▪Logistics revenue decreased 3.5% to $44.9 million in Q3 2026 versus $46.5 million in the prior year period. On a sequential basis, Logistics revenue decreased 6.9%, towards the high end of our guidance framework and consistent with seasonal transplant industry volume declines.
▪Clinical revenue increased to $29.2 million in Q3 2026 versus $2.8 million in the prior year period driven by a full quarter contribution from the Keystone acquisition that closed in Q3 2025 and three acquisitions that closed in Q2 2026. Clinical revenue increased 20.3% sequentially in Q3 2026, driven primarily by the full quarter impact of recent acquisitions as well as modest organic sequential growth.
▪Gross profit increased 57.9% to $16.8 million in Q3 2026 versus $10.7 million in the prior year period driven by growth in Clinical and Clinical acquisitions partially offset by Logistics.
▪Gross margin increased 110 basis points to 22.7% in Q3 2026 versus 21.6% in the prior year period driven primarily by the positive mix impact of our larger Clinical segment, which also saw margin expansion versus 2025, partially offset by a decline in Logistics gross margin.
▪Logistics gross profit decreased 6.6% to $9.3 million in Q3 2026 versus $10.0 million in the prior year period. Logistics gross margin of 20.8% in Q3 2026 declined versus 21.5% the prior year period driven primarily by an increase in fuel surcharge pass through revenue, and a reduction in average distances between donor and recipient, industry-wide and at Strata, which results in lower margins on owned aircraft. Logistics gross margin rebounded 240 basis points sequentially to 20.8% from 18.4% in Q2 2026.
▪Clinical gross profit increased to $7.5 million in Q3 2026 versus $0.7 million in Q3 2025, driven primarily by a full quarter contribution from the Keystone acquisition that closed in Q3 2025 and three acquisitions that closed in Q2 2026. Clinical gross margin increased to 25.6% in Q3 2026 versus 23.8% in Q3 2025. Clinical gross margin declined 50 basis points versus 26.1% in Q2 2026 primarily due to investments in staff and training to support future growth.
▪Total Selling, General and Administrative expenses decreased $0.8 million to $15.1 million in Q3 2026 versus $15.9 million in Q3 2025. Adjusted SG&A(1) increased $1.5 million to $8.9 million in Q3 2026 versus $7.5 million in Q3 2025 driven primarily by the acquisitions in Clinical. On a sequential basis, Adjusted SG&A(1) decreased $0.2 million in Q3 2026 versus Q2 2026.
▪Net loss from continuing operations improved by $2.0 million to $(7.6) million in Q3 2026 versus $(9.7) million in Q3 2025.
▪Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $9.6 million in Q3 2026 versus $4.2 million in Q3 2025. Adjusted EBITDA margin rose to 13.0% in Q3 2026 versus 8.5% in Q3 2025. The 450 basis points increase in Adjusted EBITDA margin versus Q3 2025 was driven by the increase in Clinical gross margin and a reduction in Adjusted SG&A as a percentage of revenue, partially offset by a decrease in Logistics gross margin.
▪Cash flow from operating activities was $9.5 million in Q3 2026.
▪Free Cash Flow was $8.6 million in Q3 2026.
▪Ended Q3 2026 with $41.6 million in cash and short-term investments.

Business Highlights and Recent Updates
▪Announced a $20 million share repurchase authorization, which will be utilized alongside our M&A strategy.
▪Launched a new cardiothoracic surgical locum tenens business line to address customer demand, enabling increased opportunities for Strata surgeons to cover traditional surgical needs in addition to transplant.
▪Received the EBITDA earn-out from the Passenger business sale during the quarter, settled in Joby Aviation stock that we sold for net proceeds of $15.3 million. Up to an additional $27.5 million of retention earn-out and indemnity holdback release may be received by Q1 2027.
Financial Outlook
Today, we are reiterating our 2026 guidance:
▪Revenue of $285-295 million
▪Adjusted EBITDA(2) of $33-35 million
▪Free cash flow, before aircraft and engine acquisitions(2) of $15-22 million
Pro forma, assuming all acquisitions completed in 2026 closed on January 1, 2026, our 2026 revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance would be approximately:
▪Revenue of $295-305 million
▪Adjusted EBITDA(2) of $36-38 million
Conference Call
The Company will conduct a conference call starting at 8:00 a.m. ET on November 3, 2026 to discuss the results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026.
A live audio-only webcast of the call may be accessed from the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website at https://ir.stratacritical.com/. An archived replay of the call will be available on the Investor Relations section of the Company's website for one year.
(1) See "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information" and "Key Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Information" sections attached to this release for an explanation of Non-GAAP measures used and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
(2) We have not reconciled the forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow, before aircraft and engine acquisitions guidance included above to the most directly comparable GAAP measures because this cannot be done without unreasonable effort due to the variability and low visibility with respect to certain costs, the most significant of which are, with respect to Adjusted EBITDA, incentive compensation (including stock-based compensation), transaction-related expenses, and certain fair value measurements, which are potential adjustments to future earnings, and with respect to free cash flow, before aircraft and engine acquisitions, changes in operating assets and liabilities. We expect the variability of these items to have a potentially unpredictable, and a potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
Strata believes that the non-GAAP measures discussed below, viewed in addition to and not in lieu of our reported U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") results, provide useful information to investors by providing a more focused measure of operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making. The non-GAAP measures presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted SG&A, Free Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow before aircraft and engine acquisitions, and pro forma revenue have all been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure in the tables within this press release.
Adjusted EBITDA – Strata reports Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Strata defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) from continuing operations adjusted to exclude: (1) depreciation and amortization; (2) stock-based compensation; (3) change in fair value of warrant liabilities and other assets and liabilities; (4) interest income and expense; (5) income tax; (6) realized gains and losses on short-term investments; and (7) certain other non-recurring items that management does not believe are indicative of the Company's ongoing operating performance and would impact the comparability of results between periods.
Adjusted SG&A – Strata defines Adjusted selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses as SG&A adjusted to exclude: (1) depreciation; (2) stock-based compensation; and (3) other non-cash items and certain other non-recurring items that management does not believe are indicative of the Company's ongoing operating performance that would impact the comparability of results between periods.
Free Cash Flow, and Free Cash Flow before aircraft and engine acquisitions – Strata defines Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by / (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures and capitalized software development costs (net of proceeds from disposals). Free Cash Flow before aircraft and engine acquisitions is defined as Free Cash Flow excluding cash outflows related to aircraft and engine acquisitions. Strata believes these measures provide valuable insights into the Company's cash-generating capacity. In particular, Free Cash Flow before aircraft and engine acquisitions highlights the cash generated by Strata's continuing operations prior to the impact of aircraft and engine acquisitions, which are discretionary and strategic in nature.
Pro forma revenue – Strata defines pro forma revenue as reported revenue adjusted to include the revenue of the OVPA, LPS and HLT-NRP acquisitions and the Keystone acquisition as if each had occurred at the beginning of the annual period preceding the year of acquisition. Strata believes this measure is useful to investors because it facilitates the evaluation of period-over-period revenue growth of the combined business on a comparable basis. Pro forma revenue is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results that would have been achieved had the acquisitions occurred on those dates or of future results.

Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and may be identified by the use of words such as "will", “anticipate”, “believe”, “could”, “continue”, “expect", “estimate”, “may”, “plan”, “outlook”, “future”, "target", and “project” and other similar expressions and the negatives of those terms. These statements, which involve risks and uncertainties, are based on forecasts of future results and estimates of amounts not yet determinable and may also relate to Strata’s future prospects, developments and business strategies.

Such forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are outside Strata’s control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.
