| Metric | Latest | YoYYoY means Year-over-Year. It compares the latest annual value with the previous annual value to show long-term trend strength. | QoQQoQ means Quarter-over-Quarter. It compares the latest quarter with the immediately previous quarter to show short-term momentum changes. |
|---|---|---|---|
| RevenueThe total money that came through the front door from selling things, before paying a single bill. Think of it as the grand total of every credit card swipe from customers. (YoY compares this year to last year's performance, while QoQ compares the current three months to the previous three). | $348.7M | +3.9% | +11.7% |
| Net IncomeThe absolute bottom line. If the company paid every single supplier, employee, banker, and tax collector, this is the actual money left in their pocket at the end of the day. | $-22.7M | +36.6% | +53.7% |
| Gross MarginThe basic markup. If they sell a $100 pair of sneakers, this percentage tells you how much of that price tag is profit right after paying for the rubber and shoelaces, but before paying for things like store rent or TV commercials. | +47.6% | +3.2% | -7.3% |
| Operating MarginThe 'day job' efficiency score. Out of every dollar a customer spends, this shows how many cents the company keeps after making the product AND paying for all the everyday corporate overhead (like salaries, marketing, and keeping the lights on). | -8.7% | +31.6% | +45.8% |
| Net MarginThe final take-home percentage. When you strip away every conceivable cost, tax, and interest payment, this is the exact number of cents the company truly gets to keep from every dollar in sales. | -6.5% | +39.0% | +58.6% |
| Free Cash FlowThe holy grail of corporate cash. It's the spendable, physical money left over after the business pays for its daily operations AND buys the big, expensive upgrades (like new factories or servers) it needs to survive. This is the 'free' money they can use to pay dividends or buy back stock. | $-21.6M | -93.2% | +113.8% |
| FCF MarginThe ultimate cash conversion rate. It shows how good the company is at turning regular sales directly into cold, hard, spendable cash. A high percentage means the business is an absolute cash-printing machine. | -6.2% | -86.0% | +112.3% |
| Debt / EquityThe financial risk gauge. It compares how much of the company's empire was built using borrowed money (loans) versus the owners' own money (shareholders). A high number means they are heavily leveraged and playing a riskier game; a low number means they are playing it safe. | 9.1% | -18.6% | -2.4% |
| Current RatioThe 12-month survival check. It simply compares the cash they have right now (plus things they can quickly turn into cash) against the immediate bills they absolutely must pay this year. A score above 1 means they have enough in the wallet to cover the upcoming bills without panicking. | 3.12x | +29.1% | -11.7% |
| Total AssetsThe absolute size of the company's empire. It bundles together absolutely everything of value they own—from the cash in the register and the inventory in the warehouse, to the software patents in the vault and the factories on the ground. | $298.6M | +0.8% | -0.1% |
| Metric | Annual (A vs E) | Annual Surprise | Quarter (A vs E) | Quarter Surprise |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EPS Surprise | -0.85 vs -0.95 | +10.5% | -0.14 vs -0.14 | 0.0% |

Operator: Welcome to Inogen's Second Quarter 2026 Earnings Conference Call. [Operator Instructions] As a reminder, this conference is being recorded today, August 6, 2026. I would now like to turn the call over to Lorna Williams, SVP of Investor Relations and Strategic Planning. Lorna Williams: Thank you all for participating in today's call. Joining me are President and CEO Kevin Smith; and CFO Jason Richardson. Earlier today, Inogen released financial results for the second quarter of 2026. The earnings release is available in the Investor Relations section of the company's website along with a supplemental financial package. During today's call, we will discuss non-GAAP financial measures that we believe provide useful information for investors. This information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial information. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in today's earnings release and supplemental financial package. In addition, our discussion today will include forward-looking statements, including but not limited to expectations on our future financial and operating performance. We make these statements based on current expectations and reasonable assumptions. However, our actual results could differ due to risks and uncertainties. Please review our annual report and other SEC filings for discussion of risk factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements made today. Forward-looking statements made on today's call speak only as of today, and Inogen undertakes no obligation to update or revise these statements except as required by law. The company has not provided a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because certain items that impact net income are uncertain or outside the company's control and cannot be reasonably predicted without unreasonable effort. With that, I will turn the call over to Inogen's President and CEO, Kevin Smith. Kevin Smith: Good afternoon, and thank you for joining our second quarter conference call. Starting with the Q2 results, Q2 total revenue came in at $95.1 million, growing 3% year over year, due to a strong international growth, POC demand, and contribution from our new products, including Voxi and Aurora Mask. We believe that our continued strong POC unit volume growth of over 12% demonstrates that we continue to outpace market growth as we continue to gain traction with more U.S. distributors. In addition, we continue investing in product innovation and commercial leadership to expand our presence in the home respiratory care market with a long-term goal of consistently delivering high single-digit revenue growth. U.S. sales were $42.3 million in the quarter, as the strong mid-single-digit revenue growth in our B2B sales channel was not enough to offset the channel mix challenges in DTC. Results …

Inogen's steep sales-multiple discount, improving margins and firm international demand clash with U.S. sales and rental weakness.

INGN cuts its 2026 revenue outlook as U.S. channel pressure weighs, while international growth, new products and cost control offer support.

INGN's Q2 revenues rise 3% as international sales climb 14.8%, but U.S. weakness led it to cut its 2026 revenue outlook.
