LivaNova plc, the 10-K for 2025

LivaNova is a medical technology company that makes equipment used in heart surgery and implanted devices that stimulate the vagus nerve to treat epilepsy and depression. It is a public limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales, headquartered in London, and its shares trade on the Nasdaq. It reports two segments, Cardiopulmonary and Neuromodulation.

Cardiopulmonary

This segment makes the equipment that lets surgical teams oxygenate and circulate a patient's blood while the heart is stopped, most often during coronary artery bypass grafting and valve surgery, for neonatal, pediatric and adult patients. Its products include HLMs, machines that temporarily take over the heart and lung functions, among them the Essenz Perfusion System; heater-coolers that warm or cool patients during surgery; Inspire oxygenators, disposable devices that exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood; autotransfusion systems that collect and return the patient's own blood lost during surgery; perfusion tubing; and cardiopulmonary bypass cannulae.

Neuromodulation

Its VNS Therapy System is an implanted pulse generator with a lead that stimulates the left vagus nerve. It is approved in many countries, including the U.S., as an add-on treatment to reduce seizures in patients four years of age or older whose epilepsy is drug-resistant, meaning two of the first-line drug treatments the filing calls ASMs have failed. Its devices include the Demipulse, AspireSR, SenTiva and SenTiva Duo pulse generators, and AspireSR and SenTiva can respond to changes in heart rate that can indicate a seizure. The FDA approved VNS Therapy in 2005 for chronic or recurrent depression in adults who have not responded to four or more antidepressant treatments, and the company's RECOVER study is testing it in patients with depression that is difficult to treat. It is also developing the aura6000 System, from its 2018 acquisition of ImThera, which stimulates the hypoglossal nerve to keep the airway open during sleep in patients with obstructive sleep apnea; in 2024 the company reported that its OSPREY trial met its primary endpoints.

Selling and making

It sells through its own sales representatives, agents and independent distributors to perfusionists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, hospitals and other providers. It makes most of its products in facilities in the U.S., Italy, Germany, Australia and Brazil.

People

It had approximately 3,300 employees in 34 countries at December 31, 2025.

Read moreFree cash flow is operating cash flow less capital expenditure; the effective tax rate is income tax over pre-tax income; margins are the line over revenue. Gross profit is revenue less cost of revenue, and operating income is revenue less the company's own total costs, where the statement does not print those lines. Those four are arithmetic on the filed numbers; everything else is as filed. Money is in $ million as the company files it, or in $ billion by the switch above the tables; per share figures and share counts are as they are.
