Orthofix reports third-quarter loss, mixed sales and 2026 revenue outlook

On November 9, Orthofix reported third-quarter GAAP net loss of $6.07M and diluted EPS of -$0.15, while adjusted EPS was $0.18; net sales were $207.86M. Its 10-Q showed reported sales up 1.1% year over year, while the earnings-call transcript described reported sales as up 2.3% year over year and said its referenced growth rates used a pro forma constant-currency basis excluding discontinued M6 product lines. Orthofix expects FY 2026 net sales of $825M-$830M as it reshapes its spine distributor network and product portfolio.

The revenue outlook sets the expected FY 2026 sales range at $825M-$830M, while the company says distributor exits, portfolio simplification and supplier delays will pressure near-term sales. The quarter also showed a narrower loss, but lower gross margin and reduced cash reserves affect the company’s financial profile.
