Oura S-1 filing, read
Oura Inc. filed its S-1/A with the SEC on 21 September 2026. This is what it says, read from the printed pages by code with no AI, in a fixed order: four questions about the business, and the price last. Every figure carries the page it was printed on.
What the business does
Oura is an always-on health intelligence platform designed to transform how people understand and manage their health in everyday life. Oura was built to give the body a voice, translating physiological signals across sleep, activity, readiness, stress, heart health, metabolic health, and women’s health into more than 50 metrics and predictive insights. p.1
The five questions
Each reading with the chart behind it. Hover or tap a bar for its figure.
Is revenue really growing?
Revenue grew 123% in FY25. Year to date it is up 74% (9M ’26 on 9M ’25). Only 2 audited years exist; stay humble about calling a trend. Across the audited years it went from $407M in FY24 to $908M in FY25. The filing reports no segment split, so growth cannot be checked business by business.
Does it fund its own growth?
Free cash flow was positive in every period shown. The business paid for its own growth. In FY25 operations produced $122M, capital spending was $22M, and $654M came in from shareholders and lenders.
Is the debt sane?
Equity is below zero, so the usual debt ratios mean nothing here. The flags show pre-IPO funding that turns into shares at the offering, which is usually why. At FY25 the balance sheet held $764M of cash against $3.2M of debt and $1.6B of convertible preferred stock outside equity.
Does the profit show up as cash?
In FY25, reported result $12K against $122M of operating cash. The largest non-cash item in FY25 was “accrued liabilities”, $161M.
Only then: is the price sane?
A range of $40 to $44 a share is set. The final price comes in the last prospectus. At the middle of the range, the 320.9M shares outstanding after the offering put the market value at $13.5B and the enterprise value, after debt and cash, at $12.2B, 8.6 times revenue for the last 12 months through 9M ’26.
Who controls it
One class of shares, one vote a share
Oura has a single class of common stock, so a holder's share of the vote is its share of the company.

The risks it lists first
The filing lists 73 risk headings. The first 8, in its own words:
- We have experienced rapid growth in recent years. This rapid growth may not be sustainable or indicative of future performance, and we expect our growth rate to slow over time. p.23
- If we fail to attract new members, retain existing members, or maintain or increase sales to those members, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and growth prospects will be adversely affected. p.23
- We operate in a highly competitive market, including against larger companies with greater resources, brand recognition, distribution capabilities, and track record of technology innovation, and we may be unable to compete successfully, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. p.24
- We have only recently achieved profitability and may not maintain profitability in the future. p.25
- If we do not continue to successfully develop and commercialize new, innovative, and updated products and features, including new product generations, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be adversely affected. p.25
- Actual or perceived defects in, or safety issues with, our products, including issues relating to battery performance, skin irritation, inaccurate health data, or hardware failures, have in the past and could in the future lead to warranty claims, product replacements or recalls, reputational harm, regulatory proceedings, or litigation, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. p.26
- We may be subject to warranty claims that could result in significant direct or indirect costs, or we could experience greater product returns than expected, either of which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results. p.26
- If our products fail to provide accurate metrics and data to our members, our brand and reputation could be harmed, we may become subject to litigation and regulatory proceedings, and we may be unable to retain our members. p.27
