Headwinds
- The projected da Vinci procedure growth for 2026 (13%-15%) is lower than the 18% growth experienced in 2025, indicating a potential slowdown.
- The non-GAAP gross profit margin range includes an estimated impact from tariffs of 1.2% of revenue, plus or minus 10 basis points, which could negatively affect profitability.
- The ultimate effect of tariffs depends on various factors and could be material, posing a risk to financial results.
- The company's ability to predict with reasonable certainty the exact timing and ultimate outcome of certain items, including legal proceedings, without unreasonable efforts, introduces uncertainty.
- Potential for additional tariffs or modifications to existing tariffs could materially impact the company's financial results in 2026.
