Price Chart
Executive Summary
Orthofix disclosed that CMS updated billing requirements for non-invasive bone growth stimulators, effective May 18, 2026, following FDA reclassification to Class II. The company expects average Medicare reimbursement to decline ~10%, leading to lowered full-year 2026 guidance: net sales of $838M-$848M and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $90M-$93M, with no positive free cash flow expected. The three-year financial targets are withdrawn.
Actionable Insight
The reimbursement cut directly pressures Orthofix's largest revenue segment. Watch for further CMS changes and competitor responses. The withdrawal of three-year targets signals structural headwinds — consider reducing exposure until clarity on payer mix and volume offsets emerges.
