Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Total revenue in the second quarter of 2026 was $28.1 million, a 33% increase from $21.2 million in the second quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily driven by continued growth in new account additions and increased utilization within the Company's existing account base, which grew despite the seasonal moderation in ICU census typically experienced during the summer months. Product revenue for the second quarter of 2026 was $21.2 million, representing an increase of 33% from $15.9 million in the second quarter of 2025. Subscription revenue for the second quarter of 2026 was $6.9 million, representing an increase of 30% from $5.3 million in the second quarter of 2025, reflecting continued growth in the Company’s installed base of Clarity subscriptions.

Gross profit in the second quarter of 2026 was $25.9 million, compared to $18.7 million for the second quarter of 2025. Gross margin for the second quarter of 2026 was 92%, compared to 88% for the same period in 2025. Gross margins improved due to manufacturing cost reduction initiatives and the impact of the Company's introduction of a fully operational manufacturing line in Vietnam. The Company also recognized a one-time benefit of tariff refunds previously paid under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”).

Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2026 were $45.9 million, compared to $33.6 million for the second quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 37%. The increase in operating expenses was primarily attributable to continued

 


 

investments in the Company’s commercial organization, increased headcount and related payroll and stock-based compensation expenses to support the growth of the business and expansion of its product pipeline, and legal costs associated with intellectual property enforcement activities, including the patent infringement suit initiated against Natus Medical Incorporated in July 2025.

Net loss in the second quarter of 2026 was $19.3 million, or $0.51 net loss per share, compared to a net loss of $13.6 million, or $0.38 net loss per share, for the same period in 2025.

 

Adjusted EBITDA loss (a non-GAAP measure) for the second quarter of 2026 was $9.8 million, compared to $10.0 million in the second quarter of 2025. Reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 are in the financial schedules that are included with this press release.

Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities totaled $129.3 million as of June 30, 2026. In August 2026, the Company further strengthened its balance sheet by entering into a new credit facility providing access to up to $60 million in committed capital, comprising a $30 million term loan and a $30 million revolving credit facility, with an additional $25 million of uncommitted capital available at the lender's discretion.

 

2026 Financial Outlook

Ceribell is raising its revenue guidance for the full year 2026 to a range of $114 million to $117 million, representing growth of approximately 28% to 31% over the Company’s prior year revenue. This update reflects the Company’s continued momentum in its core business, driven by both new account additions and increased utilization within its established account base.

Given their forward-looking nature, these statements involve substantial risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, and we cannot ensure that any outcome expressed in these forward-looking statements will be realized in whole or in part. You can identify these statements by the fact that they use future dates or use words such as “will,” “may,” “could,” “likely,” “ongoing,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “assume,” “target,” “forecast,” “guidance,” “goal,” “objective,” “aim,” “seek,” “potential,” “hope,” and other words and terms of similar meaning. Our financial guidance is based on estimates and assumptions that are subject to significant uncertainties. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from past results and future plans and projected future results are the following: risks related to our limited operating history and history of net losses; our ability to successfully achieve substantial market acceptance and adoption of our products; competitive pressures; our manufacturing operations, including our reliance on third-party manufacturers and suppliers in China and Vietnam and our ability to adapt to evolving demand; product defects or complaints and related liability; the complexity, timing, expense, and outcomes of clinical studies, legal matters and regulatory compliance; our ability to obtain and maintain adequate coverage and reimbursement levels for our products; our ability to comply with changing laws and regulatory requirements and resulting costs; our dependence on a limited number of suppliers; geopolitical conflicts and related supply chain disruptions; and other risks and uncertainties, including those described under the heading “Risk

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. Ceribell defines EBITDA as GAAP net loss adjusted to exclude (i) provision for income taxes (ii) depreciation and amortization expense, and (iii) interest income and interest expense, net. EBITDA is then adjusted to exclude (iv) stock-based compensation expense and (v) legal fees and related professional services costs incurred in connection with the patent infringement action we filed against Natus Medical Incorporated and certain of its subsidiaries in July 2025, as further described in Part II, Item 1 — Legal Proceedings of Ceribell's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, to arrive at Adjusted EBITDA. Management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Ceribell believes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide investors with meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of its business, results of operations, or outlook. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or superior to GAAP net loss, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Reconciliations between U.S. GAAP and non-GAAP results are presented in the accompanying tables of this release.
