Analysis
Butterfly reported record quarterly revenue of $32.6 million, up 39% from $23.4 million in the second quarter of 2025. U.S. revenue rose 57% to $27.6 million, driven primarily by Butterfly Embedded™ partnership revenue, including the Midjourney co-development partnership, and by higher probe sales to health systems, medical schools and eCommerce customers. International revenue declined 14% year-over-year to $5.0 million because of lower probe sales to international distribution partners, partially offset by expansion into Brazil.
Profitability improved substantially despite higher spending. Gross profit increased to $23.3 million from $14.9 million, while GAAP gross margin rose to 71.4% from 63.7%. Management attributed the margin improvement to higher-margin Butterfly Embedded™ licensing revenue and lower software amortization costs. Operating expenses increased 19% to $37.0 million, and operating expenses excluding stock-based compensation and other expenses increased to $26.3 million from $23.1 million, reflecting higher headcount supporting revenue growth, product development and software development projects.
The higher revenue and gross-margin result reduced losses. Net loss was $12.9 million, compared with $13.8 million in the prior-year period, while adjusted EBITDA loss improved 78% to $1.4 million from $6.2 million. GAAP EPS was $(0.05), compared with $(0.06), and adjusted EPS was $(0.01), compared with $(0.03). Cash and cash equivalents were $124.7 million as of June 30, 2026.
The Company raised Fiscal Year 2026 guidance to revenue of $119 million to $123 million, or approximately 22% to 26% growth, and an adjusted EBITDA loss of $19 million to $23 million. Third Quarter of 2026 guidance calls for revenue of $26 million to $30 million and an adjusted EBITDA loss of $6 million to $9 million. Operational milestones include two new Embedded partners, six new enterprise software agreements, provisional authorization to sell across the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, and planned Home & Community Care commercialization in the second half of 2026.
The central items for investors are the durability of Embedded licensing revenue and the associated gross-margin benefit, the recovery trajectory for international distribution sales, and progress on the stated third-quarter FedRAMP certification target. Management also expects three existing Butterfly Garden™ partner tools to become commercially available by year-end and expects Home & Community Care revenue in the fourth quarter.
