ITGR Shares Down Despite Q4 Earnings & Revenues Beat Estimates

By Zacks Equity Research | February 20, 2026, 11:44 AM

Integer Holdings Corporation ITGR delivered adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.76 in the fourth quarter of 2025, which improved 23.1% year over year. The figure surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3.5%.

The adjustments include expenses related to the amortization of intangible assets and restructuring and restructuring-related charges, among others.

GAAP EPS for the quarter was $1.38, up 51.6% from the prior-year quarter.

ITGR’s Revenues in Detail

Integer Holdings registered revenues of $472.1 million in the fourth quarter, up 5% year over year. The figure topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2%.

Organically, revenues increased 2%.

Robust sales from the majority of the product lines drove the company’s top line in the reported period.

For the full year 2025, ITGR reported revenues of $1.85 billion, up 8% compared with 2024. The company delivered full-year 2025 EPS of $6.4, up 21% year over year.

Integer Holdings’ Q4 Segmental Analysis

Integer Holdings operates through three product lines — Cardio and Vascular (C&V); Cardiac Rhythm Management & Neuromodulation (CRM&N) and Other Markets.

During the third quarter of 2025, management began referring to ITGR’s Advanced Surgical, Orthopedics & Portable Medical product line as the Other Markets product line. This was aimed at better capturing the evolving nature of the company’s products and ongoing strategic focus. Per management, the name change has no impact on the financial information previously reported.

Revenues of the C&V business totaled $284.2 million, up 11.3% from the prior-year quarter on a reported basis and up 4.4% organically. Strong growth in the segment was driven by new product ramps in electrophysiology, Precision Coating and VSi Parylene acquisitions and strong customer demand in neurovascular. This compares to our fourth-quarter projection of $261.9 million.

Revenues of the CRM&N business were $167.3 million, down 1.9% year over year on a reported as well as on an organic basis. The decline was due to Cardiac Rhythm Management growth, which was offset by a decline in Neuromodulation, primarily caused by lower demand from select emerging customers with premarket approval.

Integer Holdings’ Other Markets revenues amounted to $20.5 million, down 13.2% year over year on a reported basis, but up 5.9% on an organic basis. Per management, this resulted from the execution of the planned multi-year Portable Medical exit announced in 2022. This compares to our fourth-quarter projection of $26.7 million for Other Markets revenues.

ITGR’s 2026 Guidance

Integer Holdings has provided its financial outlook for 2026.

For 2026, the company expects revenues between $1,826 million and $1,876 million (implying a change of negative 1% to 1% from the 2025 reported figure). The Zacks Consensus Estimate is pegged at $1.84 billion.

The company expects full-year adjusted EPS in the band of $6.29-$6.78 (implying a change of negative 2% to 6% from the 2025 reported figure). The Zacks Consensus Estimate is pegged at $6.32.

Our Take

Integer Holdings exited the fourth quarter of 2025 with strong results. The strong year-over-year top-line and bottom-line performances were impressive. Fourth-quarter revenues rose 5% year over year, while adjusted EPS climbed 23%, reflecting solid operating leverage and continued margin expansion. Cardio & Vascular delivered double-digit growth, supported by acquisitions and healthy neurovascular demand, and full-year adjusted operating income increased 13%, underscoring disciplined execution. The company also generated steady free cash flow and reinforced its capital allocation strategy with share repurchases, highlighting confidence in its long-term outlook.

Despite the strong finish to 2025, ITGR shares slipped about 4% yesterday as investors focused more on the 2026 guidance than the quarter itself. Management projected reported sales to range from down 1% to up 1%, citing slower-than-expected adoption of three newer products that will create a near-term headwind. While the underlying core business is still expected to grow in line with its markets, the tempered outlook suggests 2026 will be more of a reset year before a potential reacceleration in 2027.

Shares of ITGR have lost 22.7% in the last six-month period compared with the industry’s 4.9% decline. However, the S&P 500 Index has increased 9.6% during the same time frame.
