Teleflex Inc. reported its full‑year 2025 results on February 26, 2026, showing continuing‑operations revenue of $1.99 billion, up 17.2% from the prior year, and adjusted revenue of $1.98 billion, a 16.3% increase. The company’s adjusted diluted earnings per share for the year were $6.98, an 8.7% rise over 2024. The results were driven by the integration of the BIOTRONIK Vascular Intervention business and the divestiture of its Acute Care, Interventional Urology, and OEM units.
The company’s Q4 2025 adjusted EPS of $1.93 missed analyst expectations, which ranged from $1.93 to $3.79. Q4 GAAP revenue was $569 million, up 28.7% year‑over‑year, reflecting strong demand in the Vascular segment—$917.7 million in revenue—while Interventional and Surgical segments contributed $647.8 million and $418.2 million, respectively. The earnings miss was largely attributable to higher integration costs and a one‑time charge related to the divestiture of legacy businesses, which also contributed to a 200‑basis‑point decline in adjusted gross margin and a 230‑basis‑point drop in adjusted operating margin.
Teleflex’s full‑year 2026 guidance projects GAAP revenue between $2.28 billion and $2.30 billion, a 14.4%–15.4% growth from 2025 continuing‑operations revenue. Adjusted EPS guidance is $6.25 to $6.55, a decline from the 2025 adjusted EPS of $6.98, reflecting the impact of stranded costs and transition expenses associated with the divestitures. Management noted that the 2026 outlook is a “transition year” and that the company expects 2027 to better reflect its underlying business.
Management emphasized the strategic rationale behind the divestitures. Interim President and CEO Stuart Randle said, “Teleflex is in the midst of a transformation that optimizes our portfolio, creates a more focused medical technologies leader and positions our company for meaningful value creation opportunities going forward.” Chief Financial Officer John Deren added, “The 2026 results include transient factors related to strategic divestitures, and we anticipate 2027 will be more reflective of the underlying business going forward, ultimately building a clearer financial profile.”
The market reacted with a modest after‑market gain of 1.7% and a slight pre‑market decline of 0.17%, followed by a 0.74% rise in extended trading. Analysts noted that the Q4 EPS miss and the lower 2026 EPS guidance tempered enthusiasm, while the company’s focus on core segments and the expected use of divestiture proceeds for share repurchases and debt reduction were viewed as positive long‑term drivers.
The earnings miss and margin compression signal short‑term headwinds, but the company’s strategic portfolio realignment and the anticipated return of capital to shareholders suggest a potential rebound in 2027. Investors will likely monitor the company’s ability to manage integration costs and achieve the projected cost‑reduction targets as it transitions to a leaner, core‑focused business model.
