- The Company
Kestra Medical Technologies, Ltd. is a commercial stage medical device company, which principally generates revenue through leasing the ASSURE© System, which consists of a Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillator(“WCD”), to patients.
Kestra Medical Technologies, Ltd. was formed as a limited company in Bermuda on May 20, 2021 as a wholly owned subsidiary of West Affum Holdings, L.P. (“West Affum LP”), a company in the Cayman Islands. Kestra Medical Technologies, Ltd. was formed for the purpose of completing a public offering and related transactions to carry on the business of West Affum Intermediate Holdings Corp. and its subsidiaries. Effective on December 31, 2025, West Affum LP was dissolved and all of the Common Shares it had received at IPO were distributed to its unit holders.
West Affum Intermediate Holdings Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Intermediate Holdings”), was incorporated on August 6, 2020, in order to carry on the business of West Affum Holdings Corp. (“WAH Corp.”) and its consolidated subsidiaries. Except as otherwise indicated or the context requires, references to the “Company” are to Intermediate Holdings for transactions occurring in periods prior to the consummation of the initial public offering of Kestra Medical Technologies, Ltd., and references to the “Company” are to Kestra Medical Technologies, Ltd. and its consolidated subsidiaries for transactions occurring in periods following the consummation of the initial public offering.
The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries own certain intellectual property related to the development of personal WCD approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in July of 2021.
Initial Public Offering
On March 7, 2025, Kestra Medical Technologies, Ltd. completed an initial public offering of 11,882,352 common shares, par value $1.00 per share (“Common Shares”) at an offering price to the public of $17.00 per Common Share (“IPO”). On March 14, 2025, the underwriters purchased an additional 1,782,352 Common Shares at an offering price to the public of $17.00 per Common Share.
In connection with the IPO, organizational transactions were effected whereby Kestra Medical Technologies, Ltd. delivered 37,683,952 Common Shares to West Affum LP and its unitholders, including 19,885,382 Common Shares delivered to West Affum LP in exchange for West Affum LP’s contribution of its 105,808 shares of common stock, in Intermediate Holdings to Kestra Medical Technologies, Ltd., and the remainder of which Common Shares, including 32,485 Common Shares of Kestra Medical Technologies, Ltd. that are subject to vesting conditions, were delivered to holders of West Affum LP’s class A common units (the“Class A Common Units”) and equity incentive units (the “Incentive Units”), including a third-party investor in West Affum Holdings Designated Activity Company, a subsidiary of Intermediate Holdings (collectively, the “Organizational Transactions”).
Following the Organizational Transactions, pre-existing interests in Intermediate Holdings, as well as non-controlling interests of its subsidiaries, were exchanged into Common Shares. Kestra Medical Technologies, Ltd. now directly owns 100% of Intermediate Holdings and indirectly owns 100% of each of Intermediate Holdings’ direct and indirect subsidiaries.
The IPO, together with the Organizational Transactions, represent a business combination between entities under common control under the principles of ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. As such, the exchange of Intermediate Holdings common stock into Common Shares of Kestra Medical Technologies, Ltd. have been reflected on a retrospective basis. Other transactions that closed contemporaneously with the Organizational Transactions, including conversions of preferred stock, non-controlling interests, and equity awards were accounted for prospectively beginning on the date such transactions occurred, and were not given retrospective effect.
Liquidity
As of April 30, 2026, the Company’s principal sources of liquidity consisted of $262,201 of cash, cash equivalents, and investments.
The Company has incurred negative operating cash flows and significant losses from operations since its inception. For the years ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company incurred net losses of $131,612 and $113,814, respectively. Cash used in operating activities was $81,703 and $77,608 for the years ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. As of April 30, 2026, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $651,861.
In March 2025, the Company raised $215,789 in proceeds in the IPO after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and before deducting IPO offering costs of $5,398.
On December 4, 2025, the Company completed a public underwritten offering and issued an aggregate of 6,900,000 Common Shares at a price of $23.00 per share, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $149,291, after deducting underwriting discounts but before expenses paid by the Company. The aggregate number of Common Shares offered in the public offering included 900,000 Common Shares issued pursuant to the exercise in full of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares.
Based on the Company’s current operating plan, the Company believes that its existing cash, cash equivalents, and investments will be sufficient to fund the Company’s planned operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months from the date of issuance of these financial statements.
However, the Company may experience lower than expected cash generated from operating activities or greater than expected capital expenditures, cost of revenue or operating expenses and may require additional funding to execute on its growth plans, which may include funding raised through future equity and debt financings. Management cannot predict with certainty that adequate funding will be available on acceptable terms or at all. If the Company cannot obtain sufficient funds on acceptable terms when needed, the Company may experience a material and adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
- Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are required as part of determining the collectability of lease payments for revenue recognition, estimated useful lives of property and equipment, losses for unreturned property and equipment, share-based compensation expense, fair value of warrants and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.
The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other market-specific or relevant assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. Restricted cash consists of amounts related to the Company’s office lease agreement and credit card collateralization. In lieu of a cash security deposit, the landlord required an irrevocable standby letter of credit upon execution of the lease be maintained throughout the term of the lease agreement in the amount of $109 as of April 30, 2026 and 2025. The Company also had restricted cash of $225 for credit card collateralization as of April 30, 2026 and 2025.
Investments
The Company considers investments with an original maturity greater than three months and remaining maturities less than 12 months to be short-term investments. The Company classifies those investments that are not required for use in current operations and that mature in more than 12 months as long-term investments.
The Company classifies its marketable securities as available for sale and reports them at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). For investments sold prior to maturity, the cost of investments sold is based on the specific identification method. Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are recorded in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statement of operations.
If the estimated fair value of a marketable debt security is below its amortized cost basis, the Company evaluates whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery in market value and whether credit losses exist for the related securities. Credit-related losses are recognized as an allowance for credit losses on the balance sheet with a corresponding adjustment to earnings. Unrealized gains and losses that are unrelated to credit deterioration are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
The Company invests in equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values. Equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values are measured using the measurement alternative at cost minus impairment, if any. These investments are included in Other long-term assets on the consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2026. The carrying amount of this investment is $5,000 and there were no adjustments to the carrying amount during the year ended April 30, 2026.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).
Disposable Medical Equipment Supplies
Disposable medical equipment supplies consist of equipment parts, consumables, and associated product supplies that are expensed to the cost of revenue at the time of order delivery to the patient or first use. Disposable medical equipment supplies are valued at cost.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable and net revenues are based on contractually agreed-upon rates for leases for the ASSURE© System, reduced by contractual adjustments. Inherent in these estimates is the risk that they will have to be revised or updated as additional information becomes available. The complexity of third-party billing arrangements and laws and regulations governing Medicare may result in adjustments to amounts originally recorded.
The Company performs a periodic analysis to review the valuation of accounts receivable and collectability of outstanding balances. These estimates are determined utilizing historical realization data under a portfolio approach which is then assessed by management to evaluate whether adjustments should be made based on accounts receivable aging trends, other operating trends, and relevant business conditions such as governmental and managed care payor claims processing procedures.
The Company records a reserve for estimated probable losses as part of net revenue adjustments in reporting revenue at an expected collectable amount based on the total portfolio of receivables for which collectability has been deemed probable. The accounts receivable is presented on the consolidated balance sheets net of the adjustments.
Receivables are considered past due when not collected by established due dates. Specific patient balances are written off after collection efforts have been followed and the account has been determined to be uncollectible. Changes to reserve estimate impacts are recorded as an adjustment to net revenue in the period during which changes in circumstances support a change to the estimate. The estimates of the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable were $5,789 and $3,193 as of April 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment consist of medical rental equipment, test equipment, computer software and equipment, and leasehold improvements. Medical rental equipment used in the delivery of the ASSURE® WCD system consists of a therapy cable, batteries, a battery charger, assistant and WCD monitor, all of which have different useful lives. Upon completion of use by a patient, medical rental equipment is returned to the Company’s third-party manufacturing and supply partner and inspected, tested and re-certified for use by another patient. When not in use by patients, medical rental equipment resides with the Company’s third-party manufacturing and supply partner, at third-party warehouses or with the Company’s territory managers. Physical counts of components are conducted at least annually at the third-party manufacturing and supply partner locations and at least quarterly at other locations.
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of medical rental equipment commences at the date when it becomes available for service, which represents the date that the asset is ready for intended use by the patients and continues through the estimated useful life of the asset. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, including planned major maintenance activities, are expensed as incurred.
Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives:
| April 30, 2026 | April 30, 2025 | |
| Asset Classification | Estimated Useful Lives | Estimated Useful Lives |
|---|---|---|
| Computer software and equipment | 3 years | 3 years |
| Test equipment | 5 years | 5 years |
| Leasehold improvements | Lesser of useful life or lease-term | Lesser of useful life or lease-term |
| Medical rental equipment | 2 - 15 years | 2 - 8 years |
During the year ended April 30, 2026, the estimated useful life of the medical rental equipment asset class was changed prospectively from 2 -8 years to 2 -15 years. This change was the result of actual field experience, established preventive maintenance programs, and an extensive engineering study completed during the period relating to the WCD monitor and battery charger. As a result, the useful life of the battery charger was changed from five years to fifteen years and the useful life of the WCD monitor was changed from seven years to fifteen years. The impact of the change was a reduction of depreciation expense, which is included within cost of revenue, by $1,410 in the year ended April 30, 2026, as compared to the useful life of medical rental equipment had it remained at 2 -8 years. The net loss per share impact of the change is not material.
When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the period.
Deposits
Deposits represent advance payments to contracted suppliers for medical rental equipment. These payments are classified as long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheets.
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception and on the lease commencement date, the Company recognizes an asset for the right to use a leased asset and a liability based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term.
The Company determines whether a contract contains a lease at the inception of a contract. If the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration, the Company considers the contract to contain a lease.
The Company determines whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time if the contract contains both the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset and the right to direct the use of the identified asset.
The Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate. As such, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.
Lease and non-lease components are combined for all leases. The measurement of lease right-of-use assets and liabilities includes amounts related to lease payments made prior to the lease commencement date, incentives from landlords received by the Company for signing a lease, including tenant improvement allowances or deferred lease credits paid to the Company by landlords, fixed payments related to lease components, such as rent escalation payments schedules at the lease commencement date, and fixed payments related to non-lease components, such as taxes, insurance and maintenance costs. The measurement of lease right-of-use assets and liabilities excludes amounts related to variable payments related to lease components, such as contingent rent payments.
Variable payments related to non-lease components, such as taxes, insurance and maintenance costs, are expensed as incurred in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company has elected not to recognize right-of use-assets and lease liabilities for leases with a term of twelve months or less. Lease costs for short-term leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Certain of the Company’s leases may include options to extend the lease or to terminate the lease. The Company assesses these leases and, depending on the facts and circumstances, has not included these options in the measurement of the Company’s lease right-of-use assets and liabilities since extending the lease under an option is not reasonably certain of such option being exercised.
Non-cash amortization related to the lease right-of-use assets and liabilities is calculated on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is reflected in research and development expenses and selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Operating lease payments are classified as cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company periodically reviews its long-lived assets, including property and equipment and right-of-use assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.
The Company compares the carrying value of the long-lived assets (asset group) with the estimated future net undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets (asset group), including cash flows from disposition. An impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets (asset group). No impairment of long-lived assets was recorded during the years ended April 30, 2026 and 2025.
Warrant Liabilities
The Company accounts for certain warrants as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging. The warrants are presented as a warrant liability in the consolidated balance sheets and are measured at fair value, with gains or losses recognized in the Other expense (income) line item of the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss during the years ended April 30, 2026 and 2025.
Revenue
The Company generates revenue from the leases of ASSURE© System, which consists of a WCD combined with a proprietary digital healthcare platform, to at-risk patients for a fixed amount on a month-to-month basis. The lease payments generally consist of the contracted amounts based on reimbursement arrangements with third-party payors including Medicare, Medicaid and private commercial payors, and/or certain patient co-payments. The patient has the right to cancel the lease at any time during the rental period.
The equipment leases are classified as operating leases at lease commencement, and the Company recognizes the revenue associated with ASSURE© rentals in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842, Leases (“ASC Topic 842”). The Company elected the practical expedient provided under ASC Topic 842 to combine the lease of ASSURE© System with the non-lease components, which includes the digital healthcare platform. The ASSURE© System is expected to be the predominant component and, as a result, the Company accounts for the combined revenue components under ASC Topic 842. Revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contractual non-cancellable lease term, which is one month, when collectability of the lease payments is deemed to be probable. If collectability of the lease payments is not deemed to be probable, the lease income is limited to the lesser of the income that would have been recognized if collectability was probable or the lease payments collected. Collectability of all lease payments, which includes amounts reimbursed by third-party payors and/or amounts covered by the patient, is assessed for each contract upon lease commencement and is subject to subsequent reassessment throughout the lease term, as necessary.
Due to the nature of the industry and the reimbursement environment in which the Company operates, the Company periodically evaluates the need to record a general reserve under ASC 450, Contingencies, for a portfolio of operating lease receivables that are probable of collection. Inherent in the reserve estimates is the risk that they will have to be revised or updated as additional information becomes available. Specifically, the complexity of many third-party billing arrangements and the uncertainty of reimbursement amounts for certain services from certain payors may result in adjustments to amounts originally recorded. Such adjustments are expected to be identified and recorded at the point of cash application or claim denial.
Cost of revenue consists of direct material, labor and rental equipment costs and indirect costs related to rental performance of ASSURE© System. It includes the cost of disposable WCD device components, depreciation cost of medical rental equipment reusable components, shipping, and order fulfillment costs, as well as other indirect costs incurred to support the manufacture and medical rental equipment delivery to and ongoing support for the patient’s costs incurred in connection with providing the ASSURE© System to the patients.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established if it is more likely than not that some, or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being recognized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgement occurs.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses consist of salaries and related benefits of product development personnel, prototype materials and other expenses related to the development of new products. Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred.
Patent Costs
Costs related to filing and pursuing patent applications are expensed as incurred, as recoverability of such expenditures is uncertain. Patent-related legal costs are included as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses.
The Company accounts for share-based compensation for employee and non-employee awards in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. ASC 718 requires the recognition of compensation expense using a fair value-based method for costs related to all share-based awards, including stock options.
Share-based compensation expense for share-based payments is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and recognized as compensation expense over the period of service. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of share-based payments. The model requires various assumptions involving the judgement of management, including the fair value of common units or common shares, volatility in price, time to liquidity (prior to the IPO) and risk-free interest rate. As the Company did not have sufficient trading history for share-based awards issued prior to the IPO, the expected volatility was derived from the average historical volatilities of several comparable public companies within the Company’s industry over a period equivalent to the expected term of the share-based awards. The Company will continue to analyze the volatility assumptions as additional data for the Company’s Common Share becomes available. Due to the lack of historical exercise history, the expected term of the Company’s stock options is determined using the “simplified” method. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant for zero-coupon U.S. treasury notes with maturities approximately equal to expected term of the stock options. Expected dividend yield is zero based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and does not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
The Company classifies share-based compensation expense in its statements of operations and comprehensive loss in the same manner in which the award recipient’s payroll costs are classified or in which the award recipient’s service payments are classified.
Payments on Behalf of Shareholder
During the year ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company paid administrative costs to third parties on behalf of one of its shareholders. The payments to third parties on behalf of the Company’s shareholder were recorded as a deemed dividend in the consolidated statements of changes in redeemable preferred stock and shareholders’ equity (deficit).
Concentrations of Risk
Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash. The Company’s cash is mainly held in financial institutions. Amounts on deposit may at times exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and does not believe that it is subject to unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships. Further, the Company holds a small cash balance in its account located in Ireland, which is not insured.
Business Risk
The Company relies and expects to continue to rely on a small number of vendors to manufacture supplies, materials, and rental equipment for its use in the commercial product and the clinical trial programs. These programs could be adversely affected by a significant interruption in these manufacturing services.
Customer Risk
The Company earns revenues by seeking reimbursement for the product from governmental healthcare programs and private health insurance companies, including the federal Medicare program. If the Medicare program were to slow payments of the receivables for any reason, the Company would be adversely impacted. In addition, both governmental healthcare programs and private health insurance companies may seek ways to avoid or delay reimbursement, which could adversely affect the Company’s cash flow and revenues.
Segment Information
The Company has asingle operating and reportable segment. The Company has determined that its Chief Executive Officer is its chief operating decision maker. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis and in a consistent manner with that is included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for purposes of assessing performance and making decisions on how to allocate resources. As the Company operates as one operating segment, all required segment financial information, such as revenues and significant operating expenses, is found in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. For the periods presented, all of the Company’s long-lived assets were located in the United States, and all revenues from leasing of ASSURE© System devices to patients were earned in the United States. The accounting policies for segment reporting are the same as for the Company as a whole.
The chief operating decision maker utilizes the Company’s financial information such as net loss and comprehensive loss derived from revenues and operating expenses included in the Company forecast, performance metrics, and budget versus actual analyses for purposes of evaluating financial performance and how to best allocate resources when developing and reviewing the annual budget to achieve the Company’s long-term objectives. Significant expenses within loss from operations include cost of revenue, research and development expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses, which are each separately presented on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss consists of net loss and other gains or losses affecting shareholders’ equity that, under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, are excluded from net loss. For the year ended April 30, 2026, unrealized losses on marketable securities were included as a component of comprehensive loss. For the year ended April 30, 2025, there were no items which qualify as components of other comprehensive loss and therefore, the Company’s comprehensive loss was the same as its reported net loss.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, primarily related to the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 prospectively during the year ended April 30, 2026. The adoption of the amendments in ASU 2023-09 impacted the Company’s disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements and did not have a material impact on its consolidated balance sheets, results of operations or cash flows.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) (“ASU 2024-03”), requiring disclosure in the notes to the financial statements for specified information about certain costs and expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027; however early adoption is permitted and can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively.

The Company recorded$8,709 and$7,968 of depreciation expense for the years ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
- Leases
The Company had two operating leases for office space that commenced on May 1, 2020 and January 1, 2021 with a 48-month term and 40-month term, respectively. The Company determined at the commencement of both leases that it is reasonably certain that the Company will not exercise the option to extend the terms of either lease. The office leases have variable lease payments to reimburse the lessor for costs, such as insurance and taxes but do not depend on an index rate and are excluded from the measurement of the lease liability and are recognized in operating expense.
In June 2021, the Company amended its office lease that began on May 1, 2020 to expand the leased space, commencing on September 1, 2021. The amendment is subject to all terms and conditions of the original office lease agreement and were set to expire in April 2024. In October 2023, the Company amended the existing office lease to expire in April 2029. The Company has theoption to renew for 3 or 5 years upon expiration of the extended term at prevailing market rates.
The October 2023 office lease amendment provided rent abatement from November 1, 2023 through April 30, 2024. The same amendment further provided a tenant improvement allowance of $943 to be used as rent abatement or tenant improvement reimbursement by June 2026, and $786 specifically for tenant improvement reimbursement. In August 2024, the Company amended its office lease to allow fortwo additional months of rent abatement and for the amount to be used specifically for tenant improvement reimbursement to be used for rent abatement or tenant improvements.

On September 29, 2023, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with a lender that provided a Senior Secured Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility (as amended, the “Term Loan 2024”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $60,000 and matures on September 29, 2028. Borrowings are made available in up tothree tranches, the first of which is available upon closing of the agreement, which included committed equity funding of at least $75,000, and two follow on tranches of $7,500 which became available before November 1, 2024, and February 1, 2025, dependent upon achievement of revenue milestones of trailing twelve-month revenues of $50,000 and $70,000, respectively. The Term Loan 2024 bears interest equal to the sum of Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus 7.25% for each interest period which is measured monthly and is payable on the last day of each fiscal quarter. Through March 31, 2025, the Company had the ability to pay-in-kind up to 2% of the payable interest. The Term Loan 2024 requires a minimum level of cash of $3,000 and certain revenue thresholds based upon trailing twelve-month revenue results. The revenue covenant began to be measured on April 30, 2024.
On September 29, 2023, the Company drew an initial $45,000. In connection with the first draw, the Company incurred a 1% facility fee of the total available loan amount of $60,000 upon the draw of the first tranche of $600 and legal fees of $1,753 for both the Company and the lender. The Company recognized the facility fee and legal fees as a discount of $1,765 to the Term Loan 2024 for the initial draw on the loan, and $588 as an Other long-term asset, for the remainder available to draw. Each of these will be amortized as interest expense over the term of the loan on a straight-line basis.
As of October 31, 2024, the Company determined that the revenue milestone related to the second tranche was not met and the third tranche was not probable of being achieved. As a result, the Company expensed the asset related to debt issuance costs and facility fees in the amount of $462.
In conjunction with the draw of the first tranche, West Affum LP issued a warrant to the lender to purchase up to 256,410 shares of West Affum LP’s common units at an exercise price of $17.55 per share. The fair value of the warrant was $1,632 and was recognized as a debt discount and as a capital contribution, and the debt discount is amortized over the term of the loan to interest expense.
On February 25, 2025, the Company amended the Term Loan 2024 facility to adjust the revenue milestones applicable to the debt covenants therein and amend the ability to draw additional loans under the third tranche to allow for the ability to draw an additional $15.0 million through July 31, 2026 upon the achievement of revenue of at least $60.0 million for anytwelve consecutive month period prior to the third tranche borrowing date. As of April 30, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants.
In connection with the IPO, the warrant issued to the lender on September 29, 2023 was cancelled and exchanged for a new warrant (the “2033 Warrant”)to purchase up to 325,847 Common Shares of Kestra Medical Technologies, Ltd. with an exercise price of $11.54. The 2033 Warrant expires on September 29, 2033. The 2033 Warrant is classified as a liability and is recorded as a discount to the Term Loan 2024. Upon the funding of additional amounts under the third tranche of Term Loan 2024, the Company will issue additional warrants to the lender exercisable for Common Shares with a value equal to 10% of the amount funded.
On September 4, 2025, the lender fully exercised the 2033 Warrant to purchase Common Shares on a cashless basis, resulting in the issuance of 100,397 Common Shares and the cancellation of the 2033 Warrant.
The Company’s long-term debt consisted of the following at:

Warrant Liabilities
As of April 30, 2026, the Company recorded warrant liabilities from issuance of warrants to the lender of the Term Loan 2024 in connection with the amendment on February 25, 2025. The warrant liabilities are based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which represent a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s valuation of the warrant liabilities utilized the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which incorporates assumptions and estimates to value the warrants.
As of April 30, 2026, the quantitative elements associated with the Company’s Level 3 inputs impacting the fair value measurement of the warrant liabilities included the fair value per share of the underlying Common Shares, the remaining contractual term of the warrant, risk-free interest rate, expected dividend yield and expected volatility of the price of the underlying Common Shares. The expected volatility is derived from comparable public companies as the Company did not have sufficient trading history for the Company’s Common Shares. The change in fair value of warrant liability was$2,673 for the year ended April 30, 2026, which is included in other expense within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
The following table presents the significant inputs and assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of the warrant liabilities as of April 30, 2026:
| April 30, 2026 | April 30, 2025 | |
|---|---|---|

In May and July of 2024, Intermediate Holdings issued to West Affum LP a total of 103,400 shares of preferred stock for proceeds$103,400. Following the Organizational Transactions, pre-existing interests in Intermediate Holdings, as well as non-controlling interests of its subsidiaries, were exchanged into Common Shares.

- Non-Controlling Interest
In July 2024, West Affum Holdings Designated Activity Company (the “DAC”), a subsidiary of the Company, received a $17,100 investment from a third party (the “Investor”) in exchange for shares. The DAC sold the Investor 171 Class A redeemable ordinary shares (“Class A Redeemable Ordinary Shares”) of the DAC at a price per share equal to $100,000 for an aggregate cash purchase price of $17,100.

Restricted Stock Units
The 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan also allows for the grants of restricted shares and restricted stock units. During the year ended April 30, 2026, the Company granted restricted stock units which vest under three methods:
Three-year service period restricted unit grants which vest one-third on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant. The fair value of these restricted stock units is determined based upon the Company’s stock price on the date of grant and expensed over the service period.
Performance-based restricted stock unit grants that vest after one year only if the Company has achieved curtained performance objectives as defined and approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. The fair value of the performance awards is determined based on the Company’s stock price at the date of grant and expensed over the performance period based on the probability of achieving the performance objectives. If such targets are not met or service is not rendered for the requisite service period, no compensation cost is recognized, and any recognized compensation cost in prior periods will be reversed.
Market-based restricted stock units that have combined market conditions and service conditions for vesting, for which the Company uses the Monte Carlo valuation model to value equity awards (as of the date of grant). Compensation cost is not adjusted if the market condition is not met, as long as the requisite service is provided.

In 2025, the Company completed its restructuring in connection with its initial public offering. The Company’s parent company is based in Bermuda and is a resident for Irish tax purposes. Its subsidiaries are in the Cayman Islands, Ireland, and the U.S. Under the current laws of Bermuda and the Cayman Islands, the Company is not subject to tax on income. However, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to taxation in Ireland, the U.S. federal government, and various states.
As a result of the restructuring completed in connection with the initial public offering, the Company’s effective tax rate varies from the statutory Irish tax rate due to the effect of U.S. federal income taxes, state income taxes and research and development credits. The Company’s effective tax rate could fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on variations in the estimated and actual level of pre-tax income or loss by jurisdiction, changes in enacted tax laws and regulations, and changes in estimates regarding the realizability of deferred tax assets. As of April 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company provided a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets that we believe, based on the weight of available evidence, are not more likely than not to be realized.
Income tax expense for the year ended April 30, 2026 differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the applicable Irish statutory tax rate to pretax income as a result of the following differences. For purposes of the reconciliation between the provision (benefit) for income taxes at the statutory rate and the effective tax rate, an Irish 12.5% rate is applied to pretax income as a result of the following for the year ended April 30, 2026:
| Amount | Percentage | |
|---|---|---|
| Irish Statutory Tax Rate | $(16,415) | 12.5% |
| Foreign Tax Effects | ||

As previously disclosed for the year ended April 30, 2025, prior to the adoption of ASU 2023-09, income tax expense differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the applicable U.S. statutory federal income tax rate to pretax income as a result of the following differences:
| Tax provision (benefit) at statutory rate | $(28,420) |

The Company does not accrue a deferred tax liability on stock basis of its subsidiaries since the tax basis exceeds the book basis. There areno unremitted foreign earnings.
Utilization of some of the federal and state net operating losses and credit carryforwards may be subject to annual limitations due to the change in ownership provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“Internal Revenue Code”) and similar state provisions. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 limits the use of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards in certain situations where changes occur in the stock ownership of a company. A study has not yet been performed. If there was an ownership change, there could be an annual limitation that may result in the expiration of net operating losses and credits before utilization.
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, carry back opportunities and tax planning strategies in making the assessment. The Company believes it is more likely than not it will not realize the benefits of these deductible differences and has applied a full valuation allowance against them.
Net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards for the year ended April 30, 2026 are as follows:
| 2026 · Expiration Years | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Net operating losses, federal (Pre-TCJA) | — | ||
| Net operating losses, federal (Post-TCJA) | 322,006 | Indefinite | |
| Net operating losses, state | 97,540 | Various | |
| Tax credits, federal | 6,336 | 2039 - 2043 | |
| Tax credits, state | — | ||
| Net operating losses, foreign | 43,657 | Indefinite | |

The Company determines whether a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position in accordance with ASC 740. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the tax amount recognized in the financial statements is reduced by the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant taxing authority.
The following table summarized the activity related to unrecognized tax benefits:
| Unrecognized Tax Benefit - Beginning of Year | $819 | |
|---|---|---|
| Additions - current year | 44 | |
| Additions - prior year | — | |
| Decreases - prior year | — | |
| Unrecognized Tax Benefit - End of Year | $863 |
All of the unrecognized tax benefits as of April 30, 2026 are accounted for as a reduction in our deferred tax assets. Due to the valuation allowance, none of the $863 of unrecognized tax benefits would affect our effective tax rate, if recognized. We do not believe it is reasonably possible that our unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There wereno accrued interest or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits for the year ended April 30, 2026 or April 30, 2025. We do not expect any significant change in our unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months.
The Company files Irish, U.S. federal and U.S. state income tax returns. The Company is not currently under examination but is open to audit by the I.R.S. and state tax authorities for tax years beginning in 2019. The resolutions of any examinations are not expected to be material to these financial statements. As of April 30, 2026, there areno penalties or accrued interest recorded in the financial statements.
- Commitments and Contingencies
The Company considers the likelihood of loss or impairment of an asset, or the incurrence of a liability, as well as the ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss, in determining loss contingencies. An estimated loss contingency is accrued when information available prior to issuance of the consolidated financial statements indicates that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs are expensed as incurred. Gain contingencies are not recognized until they are realized or realizable. From time to time, the Company may become involved in litigation relating to claims arising from the ordinary course of business.
The Company enters into indemnification agreements with its officers and directors, and the Company’s bye-laws include similar indemnification obligations to its officers and directors. To date, there have been no claims under any indemnification provisions, and therefore there isno accrual of such amounts as of April 30, 2026 and 2025. The Company is unable to determine the maximum potential impact of these indemnifications on the future results of operations.
Management believes that there are currently no other claims or actions pending against the Company where the ultimate disposition could have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
- Defined Contribution Plan
The Company sponsors a defined contribution retirement savings plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “401(k) Plan”), for its full-time employees, which covers all eligible employees in the United States. The 401(k) Plan provides for matching and discretionary contributions by the Company. For the years ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, matching and discretionary contributions by the Company totaled $2,240 and $1,660, respectively.
- Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Shareholders
The Organizational Transactions represent a business combination between entities under common control under the principles of ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. In connection with the Organizational Transactions, West Affum LP contributed its 105,808 shares of common stock in Intermediate Holdings for 19,885,382 Common Shares of Kestra Medical Technologies, Ltd. (“Exchange”). Under the principles of ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, the Exchange was applied retrospectively for purposes of calculating basic and diluted net loss per share. Other transactions that closed contemporaneously with the Organizational Transactions, including conversions of preferred stock, non-controlling interests, and equity awards were accounted for prospectively beginning on the date such transactions occurred, and were not given retrospective treatment as they changed the relative subordination characteristics of the securities owned by the respective holders after the effective date of the Organizational Transactions. Similarly, the shares issued upon the Company's equity offerings were accounted for prospectively beginning on the date such shares were issued and were not given retrospective treatment. The total number of outstanding shares disclosed on the face of the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of changes in redeemable preferred stock and shareholders’ equity
(deficit) represents the number of shares legally outstanding as of the latest consolidated balance sheet date. This differs from the number of outstanding shares disclosed for basic and diluted net loss per share, which has been retrospectively adjusted for common shares outstanding but not yet vested.
Basic net loss per share attributable to common shareholders is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding during the period and excludes any dilutive effects of employee share-based awards and warrants to purchase Common Shares. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common shareholders is computed giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares, including common shares issuable upon vesting of share-based payment awards and/or upon exercise of the warrants. For the years ended April 30, 2026 or 2025, the Company didnot have any dilutive shares. For both periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to compute basic and diluted shares outstanding due to the Company’s net loss position.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common shareholders forthe years ended April 30, 2026 and 2025:
| Year Ended April 30, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Numerator: | ||
| Net loss attributable to Kestra Medical Technologies, Ltd. | $(131,612) | $(113,814) |
| Undeclared preferred dividends | — | (12,321) |
| Net loss attributable to common shareholders | $(131,612) | $(126,135) |
| Denominator: | ||
| Weighted average shares of common share outstanding - basic and diluted | 54,184,698 | 24,583,745 |
| Net loss per share attributable to common shareholders - basic and diluted | $(2.43) | $(5.13) |
The following potentially dilutive securities outstanding have been excluded from the computations of weighted-average shares outstanding because such securities have an antidilutive impact due to losses reported (in common stock equivalent shares):
| As of April 30, | ||
|---|---|---|

- Subsequent Event
On July 10, 2026, Kestra Medical Technologies, Inc. (the "Borrower"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and other credit parties thereto (the “Credit Parties”), entered into a loan agreement (the "Loan Agreement”) with BPCR Limited Partnership and BioPharma Credit Investments V (Master) LP (each, a “Lender”) and BioPharma Credit PLC, as collateral agent. The Loan Agreement provides for afive-year senior secured term loan facility of up to $200.0 million, divided into four tranches: (i) a committed Tranche A Loan in an aggregate principal amount of $75.0 million (the “Tranche A Loan”) which was funded on July 10, 2026 (the “Tranche A Closing Date”); (ii) a committed Tranche B Loan in an aggregate principal of $25.0 million (the “Tranche B Loan”) which may be requested, subject to certain limited conditions, at the Borrower’s option through July 31, 2027; (iii) a committed Tranche C Loan in an aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million (the “Tranche C Loan”) which is available to the Borrower upon reaching a trailing twelve-month revenue of $150.0 million and which may be requested on or prior to June 30, 2028 and (iv) an uncommitted Tranche D Loan for acquisitions at the Company's option in aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million (the “Tranche D Loan” and collectively with the Tranche A Loan, the Tranche B Loan, and the Tranche C Loan, the “Term Loans”), subject to certain limited conditions and upon approval of the Lenders, on such date mutually agreed upon between the Lenders and the Borrower.
The Borrower’s net proceeds from the Tranche A Loan were approximately $20.0 million, after deducting estimated debt issuance costs, fees and expenses, and repaying the Borrower's obligations under Term Loan 2024 on July 10, 2026. The remaining proceeds will be used to fund the Company’s general corporate and working capital requirements.
The Term Loans mature on July 10, 2031 (the “Maturity Date”). The Term Loans bear interest as a variable rate per annum equal to a 5.50% plus three-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) with a SOFR floor of 3.25%. Interest is due and payable on the last day of each quarter, with payment beginning in the calendar quarter immediately following July 10, 2026. The Loan Agreement requires the Borrower to pay an amount equal to 1.75% of the Lenders’ total committed amount to fund the Term Loans, payable with respect to each Term Loan on the funding date of such Term Loan. The Term Loans provide for 48 months of interest-only payments and amortizes in four equal quarterly installments beginning in the second fiscal quarter of 2030 and continuing through the Maturity Date. The Term Loans may be voluntarily prepaid in whole (but not in part), and are subject to make-whole, prepayment premium and exit fees, and must be prepaid upon a Change in Control (as defined in the Loan Agreement). The Borrower is required to maintain a minimum liquidity of at least $20.0 million in cash and cash equivalents at all times.
