Management attributed performance to meaningful progress on its Compliance Master Plan and remediation actions, as well as strong demand for key products like Integra Skin. CEO Mojdeh Poul highlighted, “We completed assessments at all of our internal manufacturing sites ahead of schedule, with no new shipholds identified.” The company’s operational focus and improved production output helped counteract the headwinds from supply disruptions and ongoing remediation costs.

While we enjoy listening to the management's commentary, our favorite part of earnings calls are the analyst questions. Those are unscripted and can often highlight topics that management teams would rather avoid or topics where the answer is complicated. Here is what has caught our attention.
Our Top 5 Analyst Questions From Integra LifeSciences’s Q2 Earnings Call
- Vikramjeet Singh Chopra (Wells Fargo): asked about the impact of CMS’s proposed 2026 reimbursement changes for skin substitutes. CEO Mojdeh Poul responded that most exposure is in acute care settings, so short-term risk is limited, but long-term opportunities exist for evidence-backed products.
- Vikramjeet Singh Chopra (Wells Fargo): also inquired about the implied Q4 step-up in earnings. CFO Lea Knight explained that normal seasonal lift and anticipated supply recovery will drive higher revenue and EPS in Q4.
- Xuyang Li (Jefferies): questioned the lingering effects of shipholds and risks into 2026. Knight said most shiphold impact is now visible, with no material new holds expected, but remediation will continue into 2026 and further updates will follow.
- Xuyang Li (Jefferies): followed up on the challenge of winning back customers after product holds. Knight stated that most business returns quickly after supply resumes, but reintroducing PriMatrix and SurgiMend will require more effort and time.
- Lilia-Celine Breton Lozada (JPMorgan): probed the lower organic growth guidance and margin outlook. Knight attributed this to market demand softness, private label partner headwinds, and extended remediation timelines, but noted cost controls should support margins.
