Robust TMTT Growth to Drive Edwards Lifesciences' Q2 Earnings
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
EW's TMTT sales may rise 57.1% in Q2, driven by global demand for PASCAL and EVOQUE systems.
EW's TAVR revenue likely rose 5.2%, backed by U.S. and EU adoption of SAPIEN 3 Ultra RESILIA.
EW's Surgical Structural Heart arm may post 6.2% growth on strong RESILIA valve product demand.
Edwards Lifesciences Corp. (EW - Free Report) is scheduled to report second-quarter 2025 results on July 24, after market close.
In the last reported quarter, the company’s adjusted earnings per share of 64 cents beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 6.67%. Its earnings beat estimates in two of the trailing four quarters and matched on the other two occasions, the average surprise being 3.49%.
Q2 Estimates
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $1.49 billion, suggesting an 8.9% decline from the year-ago reported figure.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for net earnings of 62 cents per share indicates an 11.4% decline from the year-ago reported figure.
Estimate Revision Trend Ahead of Edwards’ Q2 Earnings
Estimates for earnings have remained unchanged at 62 cents per share in the past 60 days.
Here’s a brief overview of the company’s progress ahead of this announcement.
Factors at Play
In the second quarter of 2025, the Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (“TAVR”) arm is likely to have delivered a strong performance in the United States, thanks to its market-leading SAPIEN 3 Ultra RESILIA platform. The continued expansion of SAPIEN3 Ultra RESILIA in Europe is expected to have supported the international performance. The platform has demonstrated remarkable patient outcomes, and the momentum is expected to have continued with more centers adopting it. Although we expect the company to have endured a weak procedure growth environment and competitive pressure in Japan, it remained dedicated to addressing significant undertreatment of aortic stenosis among the country’s substantial elderly population.
On its previous earnings call, Edwards stated that it experienced a few instances of regional variability despite holding a strong competitive position and stable global pricing. The trend is likely to have continued in the second quarter, restricting the segment’s full potential. Our model assumes TAVR sales to be $1.09 billion, implying a 5.2% year-over-year increase.
In the Transcatheter Mitral and Tricuspid Therapies (“TMTT”) segment, strength in the portfolio of repair and replacement technologies for both Mitral and Tricuspid valves is likely to have supported Edwards’ performance in second-quarter 2025. The PASCAL repair system is expected to have gained traction in the United States, Europe and globally, thanks to its differentiated features, leading to increased adoption of the technology at both existing and new centers.
Additionally, the commercial launch of the EVOQUE tricuspid replacement system might have continued to progress in the United States and Europe. As of March, it gained Medicare coverage under the finalized NCD for transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement, expanding access.
Edwards Lifesciences Corporation Price and EPS Surprise
Edwards has raised its 2025 sales guidance for this segment to $530-$550 million (earlier $500 million), and we expect the company to have progressed meaningfully in the to-be-reported quarter. Our model estimates the TMTT business to report revenues of $130.4 million, implying a 57.1% improvement from the year-ago period’s level.
Lastly, Edwards’ Surgical Structural Heart might have delivered a strong performance in the to-be-reported quarter, driven by global adoption of its premium RESILIA portfolio, including MITRIS, INSPIRIS and KONECT. The company likely saw positive procedural growth globally for the many patients best treated surgically, including complex and concomitant procedures. Furthermore, MITRIS’ launch in China with positive surgeon feedback might have contributed to the second-quarter top line.
Our model estimates the segment’s revenues to be $263.1 million, suggesting a modest 6.2% rise from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
