47th Annual Raymond James Institutional Investor Conference summary
9 Mar, 2026Business Overview and Market Position
Operates as a global MedTech provider focused on infusion and IV therapy, with core segments in consumables and systems, serving over 100 countries and generating $2.1 billion in revenue, with most profits and two-thirds of revenue from North America.
Maintains leading US market positions in consumables, infusion pumps, IV connectors, and sets, with a strong global installed base and clinically preferred products.
87-88% of sales are single-use disposables and software, supporting resilient, sticky demand.
Market is consolidated with high regulatory barriers, leading to long product cycles and strong incumbency.
Employs 14,000 people worldwide.
Strategic Evolution, Innovation, and Growth Drivers
Grew from a $200 million parts supplier to a $2.1 billion company through acquisitions, including Hospira (defensive), Smiths Medical (offensive, 2022), and a JV with Otsuka, expanding from IV components to a full infusion therapy portfolio.
Innovation is incremental in consumables and more substantial in systems, with new product launches like Plum Duo/Solo and Medfusion 5000 expected to drive a multi-year refresh cycle and share gains.
Investment of over $100 million in pump modernization, targeting upgrade and replacement cycles, with new product cycles pending FDA approval to unify device interfaces and software.
Continued investment in software and hardware platforms enables deeper clinical integration, improved workflows, and future-ready connectivity.
Clinical studies support better outcomes with key products, driving adoption and cross-selling, especially in home infusion and biologics markets.
Financial Performance and Outlook
Recent share price around $150, equity value $3.8 billion, enterprise value $4.8 billion as of February 2026, net debt just under $1 billion, and leverage at 2.4x.
Reports non-GAAP trailing 12-month revenue of $2.1 billion, with both consumables and systems growing 5-7% annually and guidance reflecting continued growth.
Gross margins hit a low of 34% post-acquisition but are targeted to exceed 41% this year, 43% next year, and 45% pre-tariffs, with expansion driven by supply chain consolidation, pricing, and product mix.
Tariffs and integration costs have impacted margins, but these are expected to decline by end of Q2, with restructuring and quality remediation costs also being reduced.
Free cash flow is expected to improve as gross margins rise and below-the-line costs decrease, enabling potential capital returns as leverage declines.
