SOUTH JORDAN, Utah, July 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Merit Medical Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: MMSI), a leading global manufacturer and marketer of healthcare technology, today announced financial results for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026. “Merit delivered second quarter financial results that exceeded the high end of our expectations, driven primarily by 9% organic, constant currency revenue growth, excluding the impact of a strategic divestiture,” said Martha G. Aronson, Merit’s President and CEO. “We experienced improving revenue growth trends across our global business in Q2, as expected, with notable strength in sales to customers in the U.S. which increased 10% year-over-year, well ahead of our expectations. We also delivered improvement in both our non-GAAP operating margin and our non-GAAP earnings per share, which increased by 140 basis points and 18%, respectively, year-over-year.” Ms. Aronson continued: “We have increased our 2026 revenue and non-GAAP earnings per share guidance to reflect the stronger-than-expected results over the first half of 2026 and remain confident in our team’s ability to execute, with attractive constant currency growth, improving profitability, and solid cash flow generation this year. Our team remains focused on delivering our Continued Growth Initiative financial targets for the three-year period ending December 31, 2026, and, in parallel, we are developing our longer-term strategic plan focused on identifying opportunities to better position the company for sustainable growth, enhanced profitability and value creation for our shareholders.” Merit’s revenue by product category for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was as follows (unaudited; in thousands, except for percentages):   Three Months Ended  Reported    Constant Currency*  June 30,    Impact of foreign June 30,     2026 2025 % Change exchange 2026 % ChangeFoundational                  Access $161,786 $152,122 6 % $(2,340) $159,446 5 %OEM  48,338  43,218 12 %  (29)  48,309 12 %Procedural Solutions  27,949  31,741 (12)%  140   28,089 (12)%Vascular Intervention  41,652  34,955 19 %  (409)  41,243 18 %Other  1,236  346 257 %  1,102   2,338 576 %Total Foundational  280,961  262,382 7 %  (1,536)  279,425 6 %                   Therapeutic                  Cardiac Therapies  28,510  22,930 24 %  (479)  28,031 22 %Endoscopy  23,647  18,400 29 %  37   23,684 29 %OEM  12,797  9,735 31 %  (20)  12,777 31 %Oncology  25,774  23,943 8 %  (171)  25,603 7 %Renal Therapies  12,713  12,817 (1)%  (164)  12,549 (2)%Vascular Intervention  34,441  32,255 7 %  (654)  33,787 5 %Total Therapeutic  137,882  120,080 15 %  (1,451)  136,431 14 %                   Total $418,843 $382,462 10 % $(2,987) $415,856 9 %   Six Months Ended  Reported    Constant Currency *  June 30,    Impact of foreign June 30,     2026 2025 % Change exchange 2026 % ChangeFoundational                  Access $312,910 $286,520 9 % $(7,520) $305,390 7 %OEM  87,878  86,641 1 %  (264)  87,614 1 %Procedural Solutions  54,437  60,310 (10)%  (18)  54,419 (10)%Vascular Intervention  80,690  67,804 19 %  (1,472)  79,218 17 %Other  525  1,489 (65)%  2,749   3,274 120 %Total Foundational  536,440  502,764 7 %  (6,525)  529,915 5 %                   Therapeutic                  Cardiac Therapies  55,914  43,489 29 %  (1,694)  54,220 25 %Endoscopy  45,339  34,951 30 %  20   45,359 30 %OEM  20,276  20,877 (3)%  (50)  20,226 (3)%Oncology  49,282  45,994 7 %  (526)  48,756 6 %Renal Therapies  24,225  26,206 (8)%  (392)  23,833 (9)%Vascular Intervention  69,244  63,532 9 %  (1,756)  67,488 6 %Total Therapeutic  264,280  235,049 12 %  (4,398)  259,882 11 %                   Total $800,720 $737,813 9 % $(10,923) $789,797 7 % Financial Summary: GAAP gross margin was 51.4%, compared to 48.2% for the second quarter of 2025. Non-GAAP gross margin* was 55.8%, compared to 53.2% for the second quarter of 2025. GAAP operating margin was 14.4%, compared to 12.3% for the second quarter of 2025. Non-GAAP operating margin* was 22.6%, compared to 21.2% for the second quarter of 2025. GAAP net income was $38.8 million, or $0.65 per share, compared to $32.6 million, or $0.54 per share, for the second quarter of 2025. Non-GAAP net income* was $71.3 million, or $1.19 per share, compared to $61.0 million, or $1.01 per share, for the second quarter of 2025. As of June 30, 2026, Merit had cash and cash equivalents of $448.7 million and total debt obligations of $747.5 million, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $446.4 million and total debt obligations of $747.5 million as of December 31, 2025. Merit had available borrowing capacity of approximately $697 million as of June 30, 2026. Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Guidance Based upon the information currently available to Merit’s management, for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2026, absent the potential impact of trade policies and related actions implemented by the U.S. and other countries subsequent to today’s date, material acquisitions, non-recurring transactions or other factors beyond Merit’s current expectations, Merit anticipates the following financial results: Revenue and Earnings Guidance*   Updated GuidancePrior Guidance(2)  Year Ending% ChangeYear Ending% ChangeFinancial Measure December 31, 2026Y/YDecember 31, 2026Y/YTotal Revenue $1.631 – $1.643 billion8% – 8%$1.612 – $1.634 billion6% – 8%      Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share(1) $4.25 – $4.3511% – 14%$4.01 – $4.155% – 8% *Percentage figures approximated; dollar figures may not foot due to rounding. (1) Merit’s non-GAAP earnings per share reflect the dilutive impact of its 3.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Convertible Notes”) calculated using the if-converted method of approximately $0.03 per share for the year ending December 31, 2026. Any offsetting impacts of the capped call associated with the Convertible Notes are not considered. (2) “Prior Guidance” reflects Merit’s full-year 2026 financial guidance, previously introduced on April 30, 2026. Merit does not provide guidance for GAAP reported financial measures (other than revenue) or a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP reported financial measures (other than revenue) because Merit is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the financial impact of various items which could impact Merit’s future financial results, such as expenses attributable to acquisitions or other extraordinary transactions, non-cash expenses related to amortization or write-off of previously acquired tangible and intangible assets, certain employee termination benefits, performance-based stock compensation expenses, expenses resulting from non-ordinary course litigation or administrative proceedings and resulting settlements, governmental proceedings, and changes in governmental or industry regulations. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results for the guidance period. For the same reasons, Merit is unable to address the significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results. Specifically, Merit is not, without unreasonable effort, able to reasonably predict the amount and impact of these items and Merit believes inclusion of the most comparable GAAP financial measure, and a reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP measures to their GAAP counterparts could be confusing to investors or cause undue reliance. Merit’s financial guidance for the year ending December 31, 2026 is subject to risks and uncertainties identified in this release and Merit’s filings with the SEC. This guidance is based on information and estimates available to Merit as of July 30, 2026. Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results will likely vary, and could vary materially, from past results and those anticipated, estimated or projected. CONFERENCE CALL As previously announced, Merit will hold its investor conference call today, Thursday, July 30, 2026, at 4:30 p.m., Eastern Time, to discuss its results for the second quarter and provide an operational update.

(“GAAP”), Merit’s management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures referenced in this release may provide investors with useful information regarding the underlying business trends and performance of Merit’s ongoing operations and can be useful for period-over-period comparisons of such operations. Non-GAAP financial measures used in this release include: constant currency revenue;constant currency revenue, organic;non-GAAP gross profit and margin;non-GAAP operating income and margin;non-GAAP net income;non-GAAP earnings per share; andfree cash flow. Merit’s management team uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate Merit’s profitability and efficiency, to compare operating and financial results to prior periods, to evaluate changes in the results of its operating segments, and to measure and allocate financial resources internally. However, Merit’s management does not consider such non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Readers should consider non-GAAP measures used in this release in addition to, not as a substitute for, financial reporting measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures generally exclude some, but not all, items that may affect Merit’s net income. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by management about which items are excluded. Merit believes it is useful to exclude such items in the calculation of non-GAAP gross profit and margin, non-GAAP operating income and margin, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP earnings per share (in each case, as further illustrated in the reconciliation tables below) because such amounts in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of Merit’s business operations and can vary significantly between periods as a result of factors such as acquisition or other extraordinary transactions, non-cash expenses related to amortization or write-off of previously acquired tangible and intangible assets, certain employee termination benefits, expenses resulting from non-ordinary course litigation or administrative proceedings and resulting settlements, governmental proceedings or changes in tax or industry regulations, gains or losses on disposal of certain assets, equity method investment loss (income) from equity investees, and debt issuance costs. Merit may incur similar types of expenses in the future, and the non-GAAP financial information included in this release should not be viewed as a statement or indication that these types of expenses will not recur. Additionally, the non-GAAP financial measures used in this release may not be comparable with similarly titled measures of other companies. Merit urges readers to review the reconciliations of its non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures included herein, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Merit’s business or results of operations. Constant Currency Revenue Merit’s constant currency revenue is prepared by converting the current-period reported revenue of subsidiaries whose functional currency is a currency other than the U.S. dollar at the applicable foreign exchange rates in effect during the comparable prior-year period and adjusting for the effects of hedging transactions on reported revenue, which are recorded in the U.S. dollar. The constant currency revenue adjustment of $(3.0) million and $(10.9) million to reported revenue for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 was calculated using the applicable average foreign exchange rates for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025. Constant Currency Revenue, Organic Merit’s constant currency revenue, organic, is defined, with respect to prior fiscal year periods, as GAAP revenue less revenue from certain divestitures. For the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025, Merit’s constant currency revenue, organic, excludes revenues attributable to the DualCap® product line which Merit sold to Health Line International Corporation (“Health Line”) on February 17, 2026 (the “DualCap Divestiture”). With respect to current fiscal year periods, constant currency revenue, organic, is defined as constant currency revenue (as defined above), less revenue from certain acquisitions and divestitures. For the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026, Merit’s constant currency revenue, organic, excludes revenues attributable to products acquired in connection with (i) Merit’s acquisition of View Point Medical, Inc. (“View Point”) in April 2026 (the “View Point Merger”), (ii) the assets acquired from Pentax of America, Inc. related to the C2 CryoBalloon™ device in November 2025 (the “C2 Acquisition”) and (iii) Merit’s acquisition of Biolife Delaware, L.L.C. (“Biolife”) in May 2025 (the “Biolife Merger”). For the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, Merit’s constant currency revenue, organic, excludes revenues attributable to the DualCap Divestiture. Non-GAAP Gross Profit and Margin Non-GAAP gross profit is calculated by reducing GAAP cost of sales by amounts recorded for amortization of intangible assets and inventory mark-up related to acquisitions. Non-GAAP gross margin is calculated by dividing non-GAAP gross profit by reported net sales. Non-GAAP Operating Income and Margin Non-GAAP operating income is calculated by adjusting GAAP operating income for certain items which are deemed by Merit’s management to be outside of core operations and vary in amount and frequency among periods, such as expenses related to acquisitions or other extraordinary transactions, non-cash expenses related to amortization or write-off of previously acquired tangible and intangible assets, certain employee termination benefits, performance-based stock compensation expenses, expenses resulting from non-ordinary course litigation or administrative proceedings and resulting settlements, governmental proceedings, and changes in governmental or industry regulations, as well as other items referenced in the tables below. Non-GAAP operating margin is calculated by dividing non-GAAP operating income by reported net sales. Non-GAAP Net Income Non-GAAP net income is calculated by adjusting GAAP net income for the items set forth in the definition of non-GAAP operating income above, as well as for expenses related to Merit’s long-term debt, gains or losses on disposal of certain assets, equity method investment loss (income) from equity investees, and other items set forth in the tables below. Non-GAAP EPS Non-GAAP EPS is defined as non-GAAP net income divided by the diluted shares outstanding for the corresponding period. Free Cash Flow Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operations calculated in accordance with GAAP, less capital expenditures for property and equipment calculated in accordance with GAAP, as set forth in the consolidated statement of cash flows.
