Rhea-AI Filing Summary

STERIS plc reported fiscal 2027 first-quarter results and outlined a new chemistries consolidation plan. Revenue rose 7% to $1.5 billion, with constant currency organic growth of 6%. Net income attributable to shareholders was $200.1 million and diluted EPS was $2.04, up from $1.79. Adjusted EPS increased to $2.59 from $2.34.

Healthcare revenue grew 8% to $1.05 billion, Applied Sterilization Technologies 6% to $297.6 million, and Life Sciences 9% to $146.7 million, with operating income higher in all three segments. Operating cash flow was $367.1 million and free cash flow $279.6 million, lower than the prior year mainly because working capital contributed less, partly offset by higher net income.

The company announced a targeted restructuring linked to a new formulated chemistries Center of Excellence in North Carolina. STERIS expects total pre-tax restructuring charges of $55–$70 million, including $40–$50 million of cash costs and $15–$20 million of non-cash charges, with completion anticipated during fiscal 2030; these will be excluded from adjusted earnings. The company reaffirmed its fiscal 2027 outlook for 7–8% reported revenue growth and adjusted EPS of $11.10–$11.30, while increasing planned capital expenditures to about $450 million and lowering expected free cash flow to approximately $800 million.

constant currency organic revenue growth financial
"Constant currency organic revenue growth was 6% in the first quarter."
free cash flow financial
"Free cash flow for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 was $279.6 million compared with $326.5 million."
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
Center of Excellence technical
"to a new Center of Excellence in North Carolina."
A "Center of Excellence" is a dedicated team or group within a company that specializes in a particular area, like technology or customer service. It helps the company improve practices, share best ideas, and stay ahead by focusing on expertise, much like a sports team with experts who lead training and strategies.
restructuring charges financial
"expects to incur total pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $55 million to $70 million."
Restructuring charges are costs that a company pays when it changes how it operates, like closing factories or laying off employees. These expenses are often one-time and happen to help the company become more efficient in the long run. They matter because they can affect the company's profits and how investors see its future prospects.
amortization of acquired intangible assets financial
"Amortization of acquired intangible assets $65.3 million in Q1 fiscal 2027."
Amortization of acquired intangible assets is the gradual allocation of the purchase cost of non-physical items a company bought—like patents, brands, customer lists or software—spread over their expected useful life. It matters to investors because this accounting charge reduces reported profits even though it does not use cash at the time, so understanding it helps separate bookkeeping effects from underlying cash performance and valuation.
backlog financial
"Healthcare Backlog $444.0 million and Life Sciences Backlog $109.9 million."
A backlog is the amount of work or orders that a company has received but hasn't completed yet. It’s like a restaurant with many dishes to serve; the backlog shows how many orders are still waiting to be finished. It matters because a large backlog can indicate strong demand or potential delays in delivering products or services.
Revenue $1,492.7 million up 7% from $1,391.1 million in the prior-year quarter
Net income attributable to shareholders $200.1 million increased from $177.4 million in the prior-year quarter
Diluted EPS $2.04 up from $1.79 in the prior-year quarter
Adjusted EPS $2.59 up from $2.34 in the prior-year quarter
Operating cash flow $367.1 million down from $420.0 million, mainly due to lower working-capital contribution
Free cash flow $279.6 million down from $326.5 million in the prior-year quarter
Guidance

For fiscal 2027, STERIS expects reported revenue growth of 7–8%, constant currency organic revenue growth of 6–7%, and adjusted EPS between $11.10 and $11.30, with capital expenditures of about $450 million and free cash flow of approximately $800 million.

STERIS Announces Financial Results for Fiscal 2027 First Quarter

Fiscal 2027 first quarter revenue increased 7%; constant currency organic revenue growth was 6%
Fiscal 2027 first quarter as reported diluted EPS increased to $2.04; adjusted EPS per diluted share increased to $2.59
Targeted restructuring plan announced associated with new Formulated Chemistries Center of Excellence in North Carolina

DUBLIN, IRELAND - (August 5, 2026) - STERIS plc (NYSE: STE) (“STERIS” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for its fiscal 2027 first quarter ended June 30, 2026. Total revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 increased 7% to $1.5 billion compared with $1.4 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Constant currency organic revenue growth was 6% in the first quarter.

“We are pleased with our performance in the first quarter,” said Dan Carestio, President and CEO of STERIS. “Our first quarter results reflected stable underlying demand, while our commercial teams continue to drive meaningful growth within the Healthcare segment. In particular, share gains in consumables and services are fueling our performance, underpinned by solid order growth for capital equipment. Our revenue and earnings expectations for the year are unchanged, as the strength of our portfolio continues to enable us to help our Customers navigate a complex operating environment.”

Total Company First Quarter Results
As reported, net income for the first quarter was $200.1 million, or $2.04 per diluted share, compared with net income of $177.4 million, or $1.79 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Adjusted net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 was $253.4 million, or $2.59 per diluted share, compared with the previous year’s first quarter of $231.2 million or $2.34 per diluted share.

First Quarter Segment Results
Healthcare revenue as reported grew 8% in the first quarter to $1.05 billion compared with $974.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. This performance reflected 10% improvement in service revenue, 9% growth in consumable revenue, and a 1% increase in capital equipment revenue. Constant currency organic revenue growth was 6%. Healthcare operating income was $260.2 million compared with $235.5 million in last year’s first quarter. The increase in operating income was primarily due to improved volume, price, productivity and favorable mix, which were somewhat offset by inflation and increased tariff costs.

Fiscal 2027 first quarter revenue for Applied Sterilization Technologies (AST) increased 6% as reported to $297.6 million compared with $281.2 million in the same period last year. This performance reflected 6% growth in service revenue and a 13% decline in capital equipment revenue. Constant currency organic revenue growth was 5%. Segment operating income was $142.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, compared with operating income of $136.7 million in the same period last year. The increase in operating income compared with the prior year primarily reflects improved price, which was partially offset by increased depreciation and labor.

Life Sciences first quarter revenue as reported increased 9% to $146.7 million compared with $135.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. This performance reflected 17% growth in capital equipment revenue, 8% improvement in consumable revenue, and 2% growth in service revenue. Constant currency organic revenue increased 8%. Operating income increased to $61.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 compared with $58.7 million in the prior year’s first quarter. The increase in operating income reflects improvement in price and volume, somewhat offset by inflation and lower productivity.

Cash Flow
Net cash provided by operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 was $367.1 million, compared with $420.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Free cash flow for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 was $279.6 million compared with $326.5 million in the prior year period. The decrease in cash flow from operations and free cash



flow was driven primarily by a significantly lower contribution from working capital in fiscal 2027 compared with fiscal 2026, partially offset by higher net income.

Restructuring
STERIS today is also announcing a targeted restructuring plan in connection with its recent announcement to consolidate manufacturing and distribution for formulated chemistries to a new Center of Excellence in North Carolina. The investment is expected to accelerate innovation, expand capacity and optimize our U.S. chemistries manufacturing and distribution network. Once complete, the plan includes the anticipated closure of chemistry manufacturing and distribution facilities in St. Louis, Missouri, and Plymouth, Minnesota. The Company currently expects to incur total pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $55 million to $70 million, consisting of approximately $40 million to $50 million of cash expenditures and approximately $15 million to $20 million of non-cash charges. Cash expenditures are expected to primarily consist of Associate retention, severance and benefits, and also include transition, facility exit and other related costs. Non-cash charges are expected to primarily relate to accelerated depreciation. These charges are expected to be incurred over time, with completion anticipated to occur during fiscal 2030, and will be excluded from adjusted earnings measurements.

The estimated costs and timing associated with the restructuring actions are based on the Company's current expectations and are subject to various assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates. Accordingly, the Company may revise its estimates in future periods as implementation activities progress.

Fiscal 2027 Outlook
The Company is reiterating its prior guidance for revenue and earnings for fiscal 2027. This includes as reported revenue growth of 7-8% and constant currency organic revenue growth of 6-7%. Adjusted earnings per diluted share are anticipated to be in the range of $11.10 to $11.30, unchanged from prior expectations.

Reflecting the recently announced investment to build a formulated chemistries manufacturing Center of Excellence in North Carolina, capital expenditures are now anticipated to be approximately $450 million compared with prior expectations of $375 million. Free cash flow is now expected to be approximately $800 million compared with prior expectations of $850 million, as the increase in capital expenditures are anticipated to be somewhat offset by the stronger than expected first quarter cash flow.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted net income, adjusted income from operations, free cash flow, adjusted EPS and constant currency organic revenue are non-GAAP measures that may be used from time to time and should not be considered replacements for U.S. GAAP results. Non-GAAP financial measures are presented in this release with the intent of providing greater



transparency to supplemental financial information used by management and the Board of Directors in their financial analysis and operational decision making. These amounts are disclosed so that the reader has the same financial data that management uses with the belief that it will assist investors and other readers in making comparisons to our historical operating results and analyzing the underlying performance of our operations for the periods presented. The Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered along with our U.S. GAAP financial measures, provides a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure.

Adjusted net income, adjusted gross profit, adjusted EPS and adjusted income from operations exclude the amortization of intangible assets acquired in business combinations, acquisition and divestiture related transaction costs and gains or losses, integration costs related to acquisitions, tax restructuring costs, restructuring charges (credits), and certain other unusual or non-recurring items. STERIS believes these measures are useful because they exclude items that may not be indicative of or are unrelated to our core operating results and provide a baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses.

The Company defines free cash flow as cash flows from operating activities less purchases of property, plant, equipment and intangibles, plus proceeds from the sale of property, plant, equipment, and intangibles. STERIS believes that free cash flow is a useful measure of the Company’s ability to fund future principal debt repayments and growth outside of core operations, pay cash dividends, and repurchase ordinary shares.

To measure the percentage organic revenue growth, the Company removes the impact of significant acquisitions and divestitures that affect the comparability and trends in revenue. To measure the percentage constant currency organic revenue growth, the impact of changes in currency exchange rates and acquisitions and divestitures that affect the comparability and trends in revenue are removed. The impact of changes in currency exchange rates is calculated by translating current year results at prior year average currency exchange rates.

Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. These adjusted financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for reported sales, gross profit, operating income, net earnings and net earnings per diluted share, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are an additional way of viewing aspects of the Company’s operations that, when viewed with U.S. GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures below, provide a more complete understanding of the business. The Company strongly encourages investors and shareholders to review its financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This release may contain statements concerning certain trends, expectations, forecasts, estimates, or other forward-looking information affecting or relating to STERIS or its industry, products or activities that are intended to qualify for the protections afforded “forward-looking statements” under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other laws and regulations. Forward-looking statements speak only as to the date the statement is made and may be identified by the use of forward-looking terms such as “may,” “will,” “expects,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “estimates,” “projects,” “targets,” “forecasts,” “outlook,” “impact,” “potential,” “confidence,” “improve,” “optimistic,” “deliver,” “orders,” “backlog,” “comfortable,” “trend,” and “seeks,” or the negative of such terms or other variations on such terms or comparable terminology.

Many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements including, without limitation, those identified in STERIS’s recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Other potential risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, without limitation: (a) the impact on STERIS and its operations of any legislation, regulations or orders, including but not limited to any new trade, regulations or orders, that may be implemented by the U.S. administration or Congress, or of any responses thereto by non-U.S. governments; (b) operating costs, pressure on pricing (including, without limitation, as a result of inflation), Customer loss and business disruption (including, without limitation, difficulties in maintaining relationships with



Associates, Customers, clients or suppliers) being greater than expected and leading to erosion of profit margins; (c) the potential of international unrest, military conflicts, economic downturns, currency fluctuations and cybersecurity events and any resulting effects on STERIS’s anticipated growth, performance or other results; (d) changes in healthcare policy or government or other third-party payor reimbursement levels; (e) the possibility that compliance with laws, court rulings, certifications, regulations, or other regulatory actions, or the outcome of any pending or threatened litigation, including the EO litigation, may delay, limit or prevent new product or service introductions, impact production, supply and/or marketing of existing products or services, result in uncovered costs, or otherwise affect STERIS’s performance, results, prospects or value; (f) changes in tax laws or interpretations or the adoption of certain income tax treaties in jurisdictions where we operate that could increase our consolidated tax liabilities, including changes in tax laws that would result in STERIS being treated as a U.S. resident for U.S. federal tax purposes, or the impact of tariffs and/or other trade barriers as a result of STERIS’s corporate structure; (g) the impacts of increasing consolidation and competition within our industry, which may exert pressure on our pricing strategy, manufacturing strategy or lead to decreasing demand for our products and services; (h) the effects on our operations resulting from labor-related issues, such as strikes, unsuccessful union negotiations and other workforce disruptions or from our inability to recruit or retain management and other personnel; (i) the level of STERIS’s indebtedness limiting financial flexibility or increasing future borrowing costs; (j) the effects of changes in credit availability and pricing, as well as the ability of STERIS and STERIS’s Customers and suppliers to adequately access the credit markets, on favorable terms or at all, when needed; (k) the possibility that anticipated financial results, anticipated revenue, productivity improvements, cost savings, growth synergies, and other anticipated benefits of acquisitions, restructuring efforts, and divestitures will not be realized or will be less than anticipated due to unknown or inestimable liabilities, impairments, or increases in expected integration costs or difficulties in connection with the integration of acquired businesses; and (l) the possibility that expectations about the benefits, charges and cash expenditures from the new Center of Excellence in North Carolina and the related facility consolidation plan may not be accurate or realized on anticipated timelines, or at all. Unless legally required, STERIS does not undertake to update or revise any forward-looking statements even if events make clear that any projected results, express or implied, will not be realized.

Segment Data
(in millions)
Financial information for each of the segments is presented in the following table. We disclose a measure of segment income that is consistent with the way management operates and views the business. The accounting policies for reportable segments are the same as those for the consolidated Company. Segment income is calculated as the segment’s gross profit less direct costs and indirect costs if the resources are dedicated to a single segment. Corporate costs include corporate and administrative functions, public company costs, legacy post-retirement benefits, certain services and facilities related to distribution and research and development that are shared by multiple segments, as well as the benefit of refunds received on tariffs previously paid under the International Economic Emergency Powers Act.

The following table presents a financial measure which is considered to be "non-GAAP financial measures" under Securities Exchange Commission rules. Free cash flow is defined by the Company as cash flows from operating activities less purchases of property, plant, equipment and intangibles (capital expenditures) plus proceeds from the sale of property, plant, equipment and intangibles. The Company uses free cash flow as a measure to gauge its ability to pay cash dividends, fund growth outside of core operations, fund future debt principal repayments, and repurchase shares. STERIS's calculation of free cash flows may vary from other companies.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(in millions)
Non-GAAP financial measures are presented with the intent of providing greater transparency to supplemental financial information used by management and the Board of Directors in their financial analysis and operational decision making. These amounts are disclosed so that the reader has the same financial data that management uses with the belief that it will assist investors and other readers in making comparisons to our historical operating results and analyzing the underlying performance of our operations for the periods presented.
Management and the Board of Directors believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered along with our U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation to the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures, provides the reader with a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. It is important for the reader to note that the non-GAAP financial measure used may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, a similarly titled measure used by other companies.
To measure the percentage organic revenue growth, the Company removes the impact of acquisitions and divestitures that affect the comparability and trends in revenue. To measure the percentage constant currency organic revenue growth, the impact of changes in currency exchange rates and acquisitions and divestitures that affect the comparability and trends in revenue are removed. The impact of changes in currency exchange rates is calculated by translating current year results at prior year average currency exchange rates.
