Inogen Inc.: Q3 FY2026 earnings call

What management said about Q3 FY2026, from the documents filed with the SEC on 5 November 2026: press release, press release. Guidance figures: 1 raised, 3 new. The quarter’s numbers.

Key takeaways

  • Revenue fell 2.4% on lower international sales: Continuing-operations revenue was $77.2 million against $79.1 million, down 2.4% and down 3.2% in constant currency. Management said the U.S. grew while international capital softness offset part of that growth. Source
  • GAAP loss widened on impairment charge: The GAAP loss from continuing operations was $14.8 million against $3.6 million a year earlier. Adjusted loss was $0.4 million, against adjusted earnings of $1.2 million in the prior-year quarter. Source
  • International sales fell 9.0%: International sales were $34.9 million against $38.4 million, down 9.0%, or 10.4% in constant currency. This was the offset to U.S. growth in the quarter. Source
  • Gross margin fell on international mix: GAAP gross margin was 44.1% against 45.7%, and adjusted gross margin was 44.2% against 45.9%. Management attributed the decline to a mix change from lower international sales, which more than offset cost of revenue improvements. Source
  • Rental sale worth up to $24.8 million: The U.S. oxygen rental business sold for total estimated cash consideration of up to $24.8 million, which management said sharpens the commercial focus. Source
  • Cost program aims at profitability: A $20 million cost reduction program is intended to accelerate profitability, with actions starting in the fourth quarter of 2026. Source
  • Full-year revenue guided to $298 - 301 million: Full-year 2026 revenue from continuing operations is now expected at $298 million to $301 million. The prior range of $355 million to $361 million was set before the rental business was classified as discontinued. Source

“I am excited to lead Inogen at an important inflection in the Company’s evolution,”

Andy Reding, President and Chief Executive Officer
