- Guidance lifted on revenue, EPS, and margins; tariff headwind cut materially: GAAP revenue growth to 9–10% (from 1.28–2.28%), adjusted constant currency to 7.7–8.7% (from 1–2%), adjusted EPS to $13.90–$14.30 (from $13.20–$13.60); tariffs now
$29M ($0.55/share) vs prior$55M ($1.05/share) . - Strategic catalysts: closed BIOTRONIK Vascular Intervention acquisition (adds ~$204M 2H’25 revenue; ~+$0.10 adjusted EPS accretion first year), and accelerated progress on planned separation into RemainCo/NewCo; management also flagged active exploration of a potential sale of NewCo .
- Operational drivers: Interventional strength (IABP, complex catheters) offset UroLift and OEM pressures; China VBP headwinds moderated sequentially; CMS proposed 2026 rule boosts office economics for UroLift and Barrigel .

Q&A Highlights
- EPS/guidance bridge: ~$0.50 benefit from lower tariffs; operational performance ~$0.20; FX negative; tax and shares positive; net interest higher due to VI financing .
- RemainCo vs NewCo growth: RemainCo expected upper‑5% underlying for 2025 (ex China VBP), Interventional high single to low double‑digit for 2025 .
- VI cadence and synergies: €86M in Q3 and €91M in Q4; synergies via cath lab access and portfolio combinations (e.g., complex catheters with stents; perforation management with Ringer catheter + PK Papyrus) .
- CMS proposed rule (2026): Barrigel office ~+40% uplift; ASC/hospital +9%; UroLift office ~+10%; improves physician office economics .
- Pricing as mitigation: planning to implement increased pricing as contracts renew; larger opportunity in 2026 .
Estimates Context
- Q2 beat vs Street: revenue $780.9M vs ~$771.5M consensus; adjusted EPS $3.73 vs ~$3.37 consensus. Potential upward estimate revisions supported by raised FY revenue/EPS guidance, lower tariff headwinds, and VI contributions in 2H’25 . Values retrieved from S&P Global.*
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Interventional momentum remains the core growth engine; continued strength in IABP, complex catheters, and VI portfolio integration supports top‑line acceleration and future margin leverage .
- Guidance reset higher with reduced tariff drag is a positive revision cycle catalyst; monitor pricing actions and USMCA mix to sustain mitigation .
- UroLift remains pressured near‑term, but proposed 2026 CMS changes and Barrigel growth provide medium‑term recovery optionality; position sizing should reflect the 2025 office headwinds vs 2026 tailwinds .
- China VBP headwinds are moderating sequentially; management expects continued improvement through 2025, reducing a key regional risk .
- VI deal adds scale in cath lab and creates cross‑selling synergies; expect ~$204M 2H’25 revenue, with incremental accretion thereafter; watch for integration updates and investor event in fall .
- Separation path (and potential NewCo sale) is a structural catalyst; outcome could unlock valuation by clarifying growth/margin profiles; diligence underway with numerous interested parties .
- Near‑term trading: raised guidance + lower tariffs + acquisition close are supportive; medium‑term thesis: Interventional strength, portfolio optimization, and structural catalysts (spin/sale) drive durable growth and earnings expansion .
