| 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). | $329.5M | +12.5% | +13.9% |
| 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. | $19.1M | +12.5% | +541.6% |
| 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. | +75.2% | +1.6% | -10.3% |
| 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). | +8.9% | +17.4% | +490.8% |
| 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. | +5.8% | +0.1% | +487.8% |
| 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. | $40.4M | +6.0% | +269.3% |
| 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. | +12.3% | -5.8% | +248.6% |
| 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. | 7.3% | -65.0% | -7.9% |
| 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. | 4.03x | -7.6% | -2.9% |
| 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. | $273.9M | -8.0% | +2.8% |
| Metric | Annual (A vs E) | Annual Surprise | Quarter (A vs E) | Quarter Surprise |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EPS Surprise | 0.82 vs 0.80 | +3.0% | 0.34 vs 0.28 | +22.9% |
| Revenue Surprise | $329.5M vs $319.7M | +3.1% | $85.7M vs $92.0M | -6.9% |

Operator: Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the second quarter 2026 Earnings Conference Call for Tactile Medical. [Operator Instructions] Please note that this conference call is being recorded and will be available on the company's website for replay shortly. I would now like to turn the call over to Sam Bentzinger, Investor Relations at Gilmartin Group, for a few introductory comments. Please go ahead. Sam Bentzinger: Good afternoon and thank you for joining today's call. With me from Tactile's management team are Sheri Dodd, Chief Executive Officer, and Elaine Birkemeyer, Chief Financial Officer. Before we begin, I'd like to remind everyone that our remarks and responses to your questions today may contain forward-looking statements that are based on the current expectations of management and are not intended to be used to address the problems of the current inherent risks, and uncertainties. These could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated, including those identified in the risk factor section of our annual report on Form 10-K, as well as our most recent 10-Q filing to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such factors may be updated from time to time in our filings with the SEC, which are available on our website. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise our forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. This call will also include references to certain financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP. We generally refer to these as non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of those non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are available in the earnings press release on the Investors Relations portion of our website. With that, I'll now turn the call over to Sheri. Sheri Dodd: Thanks, Sam. Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to our Second Quarter 2026 Earnings Call. Here with me is Elaine Birkemeyer, our Chief Financial Officer. We delivered another strong quarter of execution in Q2, highlighted by continued strength in our lymphedema business and meaningful profitability expansion. Total revenue was $85.7 million, up 9% year-over-year, with lymphedema contributing $73.6 million, up 12% year-over-year. AffloVest contributed $12.1 million, a 7% decline year-over-year due to temporary inventory management dynamics among several of our large DME partners associated with the launch of our next-generation AffloVest system during the quarter. Importantly, on a trailing 12-month basis, AffloVest revenue remains up 32% year-over-year, underscoring the durability of the underlining growth trend, even as we work through this near-term dynamic, which I will touch on shortly. Our strong revenue performance was complemented by another quarter of meaningful profitability expansion. Gross margin improved 180 basis points …
