UTAH MEDICAL PRODUCTS INC (UTMD)·Q2 2025 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- Q2 2025 revenue was $9.95M (-4.3% YoY; +2.5% QoQ) and diluted EPS was $0.939 (-4.0% YoY; +2.2% QoQ), with margin compression driven by unfavorable mix and lower Ireland sales; domestic direct device and U.S. Filshie sales grew solidly .
- Management reiterated PendoTECH sales headwinds are bottoming and guided 2025 PendoTECH revenue to be about $2M lower vs 2024; adjusted EBITDA TTM was $18.69M and the $17–$18M 2025 target still looks achievable .
- Operating expenses fell YoY on sharply lower litigation costs, partially offset by FX-driven increases in UK amortization; net non-operating income decreased on lower interest rates and lower cash balances post buybacks .
- No S&P Global Wall Street consensus estimates were available for EPS or revenue; therefore beats/misses vs estimates cannot be assessed (Values retrieved from S&P Global)*.
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Domestic performance resilient: U.S. Filshie sales +8% YoY to $1.107M and direct non-Filshie device sales +10% YoY to $4.047M; domestic sales rose to $5.865M despite PendoTECH decline .
- Litigation costs down meaningfully: U.S. litigation expense was $280K in Q2 vs $635K in Q2 2024; OE -$416K YoY supported OI margin resilience at 32.1% .
- Management confidence in EBITDA: “Management’s beginning of year EBITDA target of $17–$18 million continues to look achievable,” with TTM adjusted EBITDA at $18.686M .
What Went Wrong
- International softness and mix: OUS sales fell to $4.088M (vs $4.569M), with direct end-user sales -15.8% and Ireland, Canada, Australia/NZ notably weaker, pressuring gross margins (56.2% vs 60.1% YoY) .
- Non-operating income headwind: Net NOI declined to $640K (vs $773K) on lower rates and reduced cash from buybacks; EBT margin fell to 38.5% (vs 40.5%) .
- FX and tariffs added friction: FX boosted reported OUS revenues modestly, but constant currency OUS sales were -21.4% YoY; management cited “threat of reciprocal tariffs” possibly causing ordering pauses .

Management Commentary
- “Reports second calendar quarter (2Q) and first half (1H) 2025 financial results which are consistent with overall beginning-of-year projections.”
- “Although the negative PendoTECH sales comparisons are bottoming out... UTMD expects 2H of 2025 PendoTECH sales will be about $200 lower than in 2H 2024… about $2 million lower compared to year 2024.”
- “Management’s beginning of year EBITDA target of $17–$18 million continues to look achievable.”
- “Canadian medical facilities openly put pressure on Canada distributors to not purchase medical devices from the U.S.”
- “The threat of reciprocal tariffs… may have caused a pause for some [OUS distributors].”
- “Shares repurchased in 2Q 2025 were 64,988 at an average price of $53.67… The Company retains the strong desire and financial ability for repurchasing its shares…”

Estimates Context
- S&P Global consensus EPS and revenue for UTMD were not available for Q2 2025, Q1 2025, or Q4 2024, indicating limited or no analyst coverage for near-term quarterly forecasts (Values retrieved from S&P Global)*.
- Without consensus, we do not assess beats/misses; following this print, sell-side models (where they exist) may need to reflect: (1) domestic strength, (2) sustained OUS weakness in direct end-user channels, (3) lower litigation expense run-rate, and (4) mix/FX dynamics impacting GP margin .
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Domestic demand is solid and offsetting OEM headwinds: U.S. Filshie and direct device sales grew double-digit YoY, supporting OI margin stability despite GP compression .
- International mix remains the swing factor: Ireland/Canada/Australia softness and distributor timing create variability; watch FX and tariff-related behavior into 2H .
- Litigation expense trending down materially, providing upside to OI vs 2024 levels even with lower GP; monitor cadence in 2H .
- PendoTECH drag is bottoming; full-year 2025 expected ~$2M lower vs 2024 is consistent with plan—reduces uncertainty into 2H .
- Capital returns continue: steady dividend ($0.305/share) and ongoing buybacks reduced diluted shares, mitigating EPS declines; potential technical support for the stock .
- EBITDA trajectory in range: TTM $18.686M and reiterated $17–$18M target suggest resilient cash-generation; watch GP mix from Ireland .
- Near-term trading: Stock may react to signs of OUS demand recovery and continued litigation cost moderation; medium-term thesis hinges on stabilizing OUS channels, mix improvement, and amortization relief by 1Q 2026 .
