Picard Medical / SynCardia Reports Revenue Growth Based on Top-line Results for the First Quarter 2026
– Growth driven by increased U.S. demand and pricing –
TUCSON, Ariz., April 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Picard Medical, Inc. (NYSE American: PMI) (“Picard Medical” or the “Company”), parent company of SynCardia Systems, LLC, (“SynCardia”) maker of the world’s first total artificial heart approved by both the U.S. FDA and Health Canada, today announced preliminary, unaudited top-line revenues for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.
Revenue rose 79.9% to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, reflecting higher utilization of the SynCardia Total Artificial Heart (“STAH”) and increased driver rental income.
Growth was driven by higher STAH sales, which was due to favorable reimbursement and economic conditions in the United States. The Company also implemented pricing adjustments for its driver rental program during the quarter, contributing to higher recurring revenue.
Patrick NJ Schnegelsberg, Chief Executive Officer of Picard Medical, said, “Our preliminary revenue growth reflects progress across our commercial and operational initiatives, as well as increased utilization of our total artificial heart as a bridge to transplant. We remain focused on expanding patient access, supporting clinical partners, and advancing development of our next generation fully implantable total artificial heart platform.”
