Executive summary

  • Achieved strong momentum in the first full year as a standalone public company, delivering solid financial and operational results in Q4 FY25 and making significant progress on transformation and separation initiatives.

  • Prioritized five growth drivers, completed the sale of the Purification & Filtration (P&F) business, and acquired Acera Surgical, expanding into regenerative and synthetic tissue markets.

  • Revamped innovation process, restructured global sales, and launched the 'Transform for the Future' program targeting $500 million in cost savings through 2029-2030.

  • Announced a $1 billion share repurchase program, initiated in January 2026.

  • Well-positioned for growth and margin expansion, maintaining confidence in long-range plans.

Financial highlights

  • Q4 FY25 sales were $2 billion, up 3.5% organically but down 3.7% reported year-over-year due to the P&F divestiture.

  • Full-year 2025 sales reached $8.33B, up 0.9% reported and 3.3% organically; Q4 adjusted EPS was $1.57, full-year adjusted EPS was $6.11.

  • Q4 gross margin was 53.5% (adjusted), with operating margin at 19.9% (adjusted); full-year adjusted operating margin was 20.5%.

  • Ended Q4 with $900 million in cash and equivalents, net debt of $4.2 billion, and funded the $725 million Acera acquisition.

  • Free cash flow for FY25 was -$10 million, below expectations due to higher Q4 costs; normalized free cash flow would have been ~$1 billion excluding separation and divestiture costs.

Outlook and guidance

  • 2026 organic sales growth guidance of 2%-3%, or 3%-4% excluding a 100 basis point SKU exit impact.

  • Adjusted EPS guidance for 2026 is $6.40-$6.60; free cash flow expected at ~$200 million, or ~$1 billion excluding separation and divestiture costs.

  • Operating margin expected to expand to 21%-21.5% in 2026, driven by sales leverage and cost savings programs.

  • Capital expenditures projected at $400 million-$450 million, effective tax rate of 19.5%-20.5%, and non-operating expenses of $300 million.

  • Tariff impact estimated at $100 million-$120 million pre-tax, with half as incremental headwind in 1H 2026.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
