Reported net sales of $5.442 billion, representing an increase of 7.5 percent on a reported basis, compared to the company's guidance range of 5.5 to 7.5 percent; and 7.0 percent on an operational and organic basis, compared to the company's guidance range of 5 to 7 percent, all compared to the prior year period.

Reported GAAP net income attributable to Boston Scientific common stockholders of $0.61 per share, and achieved adjusted EPS of $0.86 per share, compared to the guidance range of $0.82 to $0.84 per share.

Achieved the following net sales growth in each reportable segment, compared to the prior year period:
- MedSurg: 5.9 percent reported, 5.4 percent operational and organic
- Cardiovascular: 8.3 percent reported, 7.8 percent operational and organic

Achieved the following net sales growth in each region, compared to the prior year period:
- United States (U.S.): 6.2 percent reported and operational
- Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA): 6.1 percent reported and 4.2 percent operational
- Asia-Pacific (APAC): 11.2 percent reported and operational
- Latin America and Canada (LACA): 22.4 percent reported and 16.2 percent operational

Completed the previously announced $2 billion accelerated share repurchase program, repurchasing approximately 40 million shares.

Invested $1.5 billion in MiRus LLC, which is developing and commercializing proprietary biomaterials, implants and procedural solutions for the treatment of cardiovascular and orthopedic diseases, including the SIEGEL™ Balloon Expandable Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) system, in return for an approximately 34% equity stake and exclusive option to acquire the MiRus TAVR business.⁴

Presented late-breaking findings at EuroPCR from the FRACTURE Investigational Device Exemption trial, which met its primary endpoints with the SEISMIQ™ 4CE Coronary Intravascular Lithotripsy Catheter, demonstrating high rates of freedom from major adverse cardiac events at 30 days as well as procedural success in patients with severely calcified coronary artery disease.⁴

Announced clinical trial results that were presented in late-breaking sessions at Heart Rhythm 2026 including:
- The AVANT GUARD study of FARAPULSE™ Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) for the treatment of persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients who had not previously been treated for their condition. Data met all safety and effectiveness endpoints and demonstrated statistical superiority of FARAPULSE PFA over anti-arrhythmic drugs with significantly higher primary effectiveness.
- The ELEVATE-PF feasibility study of the FARAFLEX™ Mapping and PFA Catheter — a novel large focal, high-density map-and-ablate catheter — in patients with paroxysmal and persistent AF. The trial demonstrated strong lesion durability validated by cardiac remapping, with no reported cases of pulmonary vein stenosis, hemolysis, coronary spasm or clinical stroke.⁴

Commenced enrollment in the pivotal FARADIGM clinical trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the FARAFLEX Mapping and PFA Catheter for treating patients with paroxysmal and persistent AF.⁴

Received U.S. Food and Drug Administration 510(k) clearance for the TruSelect™ 2.6 Microcatheter, expanding Boston Scientific's embolization portfolio with a device designed to provide physicians with a single solution for navigation and efficient embolic delivery during minimally invasive procedures.

Amounts may not add due to rounding. Growth rates are based on actual, non-rounded amounts and may not recalculate precisely.

Net sales growth rates that exclude the impact of foreign currency fluctuations and/or the impact of certain acquisitions/divestitures are not

prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Guidance for Full Year and Third Quarter 2026

The company now estimates net sales growth for the full year 2026, versus the prior year period, to be approximately 5.5 to 6.5 percent on a reported basis and 5 to 6 percent on an organic basis. Full year organic net sales guidance excludes the impact of foreign currency fluctuations and net sales attributable to certain acquisitions and divestitures for which there are less than a full period of comparable net sales. The company now estimates adjusted EPS, excluding certain charges (credits), of $3.28 to $3.32.

The company estimates net sales growth for the third quarter of 2026, versus the prior year period, to be approximately 3 to 5 percent on a reported and organic basis. Third quarter organic net sales guidance excludes the impact of foreign currency fluctuations and net sales attributable to certain acquisitions and divestitures for which there are less than a full period of comparable net sales. The company estimates adjusted EPS, excluding certain charges (credits), of $0.80 to $0.82.

The company has not provided reconciliations of the forward-looking adjusted EPS guidance to GAAP guidance as it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty and without unreasonable efforts the impact of certain items such as intangible asset impairment charges, acquisition-related charges, restructuring and restructuring-related charges and litigation-related charges. The combined impact of these items is uncertain, dependent on various factors and cannot be predicted with reasonable certainty, and could be material to our GAAP measures of financial results.

Conference Call Information

Boston Scientific management will be discussing these results with analysts on a conference call today at 8:00 a.m. ET. The company will webcast the call to interested parties through its website: investors.bostonscientific.com. Please see the website for details on how to access the webcast. The webcast will be available for approximately one year on the Boston Scientific website.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our unaudited consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, we disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) attributable to Boston Scientific common stockholders and adjusted net income (loss) per share (EPS) that exclude certain charges (credits); operational net sales, which exclude the impact of foreign currency fluctuations; and organic net sales, which exclude the impact of foreign currency fluctuations as well as the impact of certain acquisitions and divestitures with less than a full period of comparable net sales. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and should not be considered in isolation from or as a replacement for the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Further, other companies may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, which may limit the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.

To calculate adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) attributable to Boston Scientific common stockholders and adjusted net income (loss) per share, we exclude certain charges (credits) from GAAP net income and GAAP net income attributable to Boston Scientific common stockholders, which include amortization expense, goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges, acquisition/divestiture-related net charges (credits), investment portfolio net losses (gains) and impairments, restructuring and restructuring-related net charges (credits), litigation-related net charges (credits), European Union (EU) Medical Device Regulation (MDR) implementation costs, debt extinguishment net charges, deferred tax expenses (benefits), discrete tax items and other charges (credits) as appropriate. Amounts are presented after-tax using the company's effective tax rate, unless the amount is a significant unusual or infrequently occurring item in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740-270-30, "General Methodology and Use of Estimated Annual Effective Tax Rate." In addition to the explanation below, please refer to Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or Part I, Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in any Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that we have filed or will file thereafter for an explanation of each of these adjustments and the reasons for excluding each item. The following is an explanation of each incremental or revised adjustment type, since our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, that management excluded as part of these non-GAAP financial measures as well as the reason for excluding each item:

Restructuring and restructuring-related net charges (credits) - These adjustments primarily represent severance and other compensation-related charges, fixed asset write-offs, contract cancellations, project management fees, facility shut down costs, costs to transfer manufacturing lines between geographically dispersed facilities and other direct costs associated with our restructuring plans. These restructuring plans each consist of distinct initiatives that are fundamentally different from our ongoing, core cost reduction initiatives in terms of, among other things, the frequency with which each action is performed and the required planning, resourcing, cost and timing. Examples of such initiatives include the movement of business activities, facility consolidations and closures and the transfer of product lines between manufacturing facilities, which, due to the highly regulated nature of our industry, requires a significant investment in time and cost to create duplicate manufacturing lines, run product validations and seek regulatory approvals. Restructuring plans take place over a defined timeframe and have a distinct project timeline that requires, and begins subsequent to, approval by our Board of Directors. In contrast to our ongoing cost reduction initiatives, restructuring plans typically result in duplicative cost and exit costs over the defined timeframe and are not considered part of our core, ongoing operations. In addition, we may incur certain charges such as severance and other compensation-related charges, fixed asset write-offs, contract cancellations, facility shutdown costs, and inventory write-downs associated with discontinuations of significant product lines. These restructuring plans and activities are incremental to the core activities that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Restructuring and restructuring-related net charges (credits) are excluded from management's assessment of operating performance and from our operating segments' measures of profit and loss used for making operating decisions and assessing performance.
Deferred tax expenses (benefits) - These amounts represent significant non-cash tax benefits arising from internal reorganizations or intra-entity asset transfers. The deferred tax effects related to the establishment and subsequent reversal of net deferred tax assets are excluded from management's assessment of operating performance used for making operating decisions and assessing performance.
IEEPA tariff refund - This amount relates to the benefit recognized in connection with the recovery of previously incurred tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) recognized in Cost of products sold within our unaudited consolidated statements of operations. This amount is excluded from management's assessment of operating performance used for making operating decisions and assessing performance.

The GAAP financial measures most directly comparable to adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) attributable to Boston Scientific common stockholders and adjusted net income (loss) per share are GAAP net income (loss), GAAP net income (loss) attributable to Boston Scientific common stockholders and GAAP net income (loss) per common share – diluted, respectively.

To calculate operational net sales growth rates, which exclude the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, we convert actual net sales from local currency to U.S. dollars using constant foreign currency exchange rates in the current and prior periods. To calculate organic net sales growth rates, we also remove the impact of certain acquisitions and divestitures with less than a full period of comparable net sales. The GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to operational net sales and organic net sales is net sales reported on a GAAP basis.

Reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP financial measure are included in the accompanying schedules.

Management uses these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate performance period over period, to analyze the underlying trends in our business, to assess our performance relative to our competitors and to establish operational goals and forecasts that are used in allocating resources. In addition, management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to further its understanding of the performance of our operating segments. The adjustments excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures are consistent with those excluded from our operating segments' measures of net sales and profit or loss. These adjustments are excluded from the segment measures reported to our chief operating decision maker that are used to make operating decisions and assess performance.

We believe that presenting adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) attributable to Boston Scientific common stockholders, adjusted net income (loss) per share, operational net sales growth rates and organic net sales growth rates, in addition to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provides investors greater transparency to the information used by management for its operational decision-making and allows investors to see our results "through the eyes" of management. We further believe that providing this information assists our investors in understanding our operating performance and the methodology used by management to evaluate and measure such performance.
