2026 Financial Guidance
OrthoPediatrics projects 2026 revenue to be in the range of $262 million to $266 million, representing 11% to 13% growth compared to full year 2025 preliminary unaudited net revenue. The Company also expects approximately $10 million annual set deployment and expects to generate approximately $25 million Adjusted EBITDA in 2026.
“Throughout 2025, we delivered another year of strong performance, advanced our strategic initiatives, and widened our leadership position in pediatric orthopedics. Our Trauma and Deformity and Scoliosis implant businesses continued to execute effectively, taking market share, driving topline revenue, and improving profitability,” commented David Bailey, President & CEO of OrthoPediatrics. “We are also extremely pleased with the specialty bracing (OPSB) business, which remains a tremendous market opportunity and a strategic catalyst for deepening customer relationships. OPSB is proving to be a capital-efficient driver of both revenue and earnings, and we are only beginning to unlock its full potential as we scale in the years ahead. In 2025, we helped over 37,500 children in the fourth quarter alone and nearly 1.3 million since inception, while generating record preliminary unaudited revenue growth of 15% from 2024, and significantly reducing free cash flow usage year-over-year. Looking forward, we are confident that our growth drivers and operational discipline position us to execute on our long-term outlook and continue making a meaningful impact for children worldwide.”
The Company plans to release its fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results and provide additional commentary on its financial outlook in late February to early March. The quarterly and annual preliminary unaudited net revenue estimates for 2025 included in this press release are prior to the completion of review and audit procedures by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and are therefore subject to adjustment.
