MASON, Ohio, May 6, 2026 - AtriCure, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATRC), a leading innovator in surgical treatments and therapies for atrial fibrillation (Afib), left atrial appendage (LAA) management and post-operative pain management, today announced first quarter 2026 financial results.

First Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Worldwide revenue for the first quarter 2026 was $141.2 million, an increase of 14.3% over first quarter 2025 revenue (12.8% on a constant currency basis). U.S. revenue was $116.2 million, an increase of $15.1 million or 14.9%, compared to the first quarter 2025. U.S. revenue growth was driven by sales of our cryoSPHERE® MAX™ probe for post-operative pain management, AtriClip FLEX-Mini® and AtriClip PRO-Mini® devices for appendage management, and the EnCompass® clamp in open ablation. International revenue increased $2.6 million or 11.5% (3.3% on a constant currency basis) to $25.0 million, with growth across most of our direct markets in appendage management, open ablation, and pain management.
Gross profit for the first quarter 2026 was $109.3 million compared to $92.6 million for the first quarter 2025. Gross margin was 77.4% for the first quarter 2026, an increase of 246 basis points from the first quarter 2025, driven primarily by favorable product and geographic mix. Income from operations for the first quarter 2026 was $0.5 million, compared to a loss from operations of $6.0 million for the first quarter 2025. Basic and diluted net income per share was breakeven at $0.00 for the first quarter 2026, compared to net loss per share of $0.14 for the first quarter 2025.
Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter 2026 was $17.1 million, an increase of $8.3 million or 95% from the first quarter 2025. For the first quarter 2026, net income per share and adjusted income per share were breakeven at $0.00, compared to $0.14 net loss per share and adjusted loss per share for the first quarter 2025. For both 2026 and 2025, the per share amounts are equivalent because there were no reconciling items between the GAAP and non-GAAP results for the periods.
Constant currency revenue, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted income (loss) per share are non-GAAP financial measures. We discuss these non-GAAP financial measures and provide reconciliations to GAAP measures later in this release.
