Table of Contents

During the second quarter and first six months of 2026, the increase in our reported net sales was primarily driven by innovation and strong commercial execution in our Interventional Cardiology and Vascular Therapies and Electrophysiology business units. Refer to Results of Operations for a discussion of our net sales by business. During the second quarter of 2026, the increase in our reported net income attributable to Boston Scientific common stockholders was primarily driven by higher net sales. During the first six months of 2026, the increase in our reported net income attributable to Boston Scientific common stockholders was primarily driven by higher net sales and a discrete tax benefit recorded in the first quarter of 2026. Refer to Tax Rate for additional details pertaining to the discrete tax benefit.

To supplement our unaudited consolidated financial statements prepared on a generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) basis, we disclose certain non-GAAP measures, including operational and organic net sales growth, adjusted net income attributable to Boston Scientific common stockholders and adjusted net income per common share - diluted. Operational net sales growth excludes the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. Organic net sales growth excludes the impact of foreign currency fluctuations and net sales attributable to certain acquisitions and divestitures for which there are less than a full period of comparable net sales. There were no applicable acquisitions in the first six months of 2026 or 2025. Our adjusted net income attributable to Boston Scientific common stockholders and adjusted net income per common share - diluted exclude certain charges and/or credits as reported in our net income attributable to Boston Scientific common stockholders and net income per common share - diluted for purposes of assessing operating performance.

Adjusted measures, including operational and organic net sales growth, adjusted net income attributable to Boston Scientific common stockholders and adjusted net income per common share - diluted, exclude certain items required by GAAP, are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a replacement for, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Refer to Additional Information for a discussion of management’s use of these non-GAAP financial measures.

Macroeconomic Environment

Our business is affected by global macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions. There continues to be significant uncertainty with respect to global trade policies, including changing tariff rates, tariff imposition delays, and the potential for reciprocal restrictive trade policies by the U.S. or other governments around the world, which could adversely impact our operations and results. We may also experience higher distribution costs and supply chain disruptions, including those arising from global conflicts and energy market volatility. While we seek to mitigate these impacts, their extent and duration remain uncertain and could negatively impact our business and results of operations. For additional information, refer to Item 1A. Risk Factors and Macroeconomic Environment contained in Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Results of Operations

Net Sales

The following section describes our net sales by reportable segment and business. In the fourth quarter of 2025, an organizational change combined our legacy Cardiology and Peripheral Interventions businesses into a single Cardiovascular business. We have revised prior periods to conform to the current year presentation. The change had no impact on our reportable segments. For additional information on our business units and product offerings, refer to Item 1. Business of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Endoscopy

Our Endoscopy business develops and manufactures devices to diagnose and treat a broad range of gastrointestinal (GI) conditions with innovative, less-invasive technologies. In the second quarter and first six months of 2026, reported net sales growth was primarily driven by our biliary franchise, led by our AXIOS™ Stent and Delivery System, and our core GI franchise.

Urology

Our Urology business develops and manufactures devices to treat various urological conditions for both male and female anatomies, including kidney stones, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostate cancer, erectile dysfunction and incontinence. In the second quarter and first six months of 2026, reported net sales growth was relatively flat, primarily driven by underperformance in our stone franchise as a result of volume-based-procurement in China, and commercial disruption in our sacral neuromodulation franchise.

Neuromodulation

Our Neuromodulation business develops and manufactures devices to treat various neurological movement disorders and manage chronic pain. In the second quarter and first six months of 2026, reported net sales growth was primarily driven by our comprehensive pain portfolio, led by our Intracept™ Intraosseous Nerve Ablation System and Nalu Peripheral Nerve Stimulation System, and our deep brain stimulation franchise.

Cardiovascular

Our Cardiovascular business develops and manufactures devices and medical technologies for diagnosing and treating a variety of diseases and abnormalities of the heart, as well as products to diagnose and treat peripheral arterial and venous diseases and various forms of cancer. In the second quarter and first six months of 2026, reported net sales growth was primarily driven by our coronary therapies franchise, led by our AGENT™ Drug-Coated Balloon, and our Electrophysiology business unit, led by our Farapulse™ Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) System. Net sales for the second quarter and first six months of 2026 were impacted by increased competition within our Electrophysiology business unit and a deceleration of certain WATCHMAN™ procedures.

[[/GREPCENT_TABLE]]

The increases in our reported net sales and reported net income attributable to Boston Scientific common stockholders in 2025 and 2024 were primarily driven by innovation and strong commercial execution across our businesses, particularly in our Electrophysiology business unit, and which was led by the continued growth of our Farapulse™ Pulsed Field Ablation System which launched in the U.S. in early 2024. Refer to Results of Operations for a discussion of our net sales by business.

To supplement our consolidated financial statements prepared on a GAAP basis, we disclose certain non-GAAP measures, including operational and organic net sales growth, adjusted net income attributable to Boston Scientific common stockholders and adjusted net income per common share - diluted. Operational net sales growth excludes the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. Organic net sales growth excludes the impact of foreign currency fluctuations and net sales attributable to certain acquisitions and divestitures for which there are less than a full period of comparable net sales. Those acquisitions included our majority stake investment in Acotec Scientific Holdings Limited (Acotec) and the acquisitions of Apollo Endosurgery, Inc. (Apollo) and Relievant Medsystems, Inc. (Relievant) during the first, second and fourth quarters of 2023, respectively, the endoluminal vacuum therapy portfolio of B. Braun Medical Inc. (Braun), Silk Road Medical, Inc. (Silk Road Medical) and Axonics, Inc. (Axonics) during the first, third and fourth quarters of 2024, respectively, and Intera Oncology®, Inc. (Intera) during the second quarter of 2025. Our adjusted net income attributable to Boston Scientific common stockholders and adjusted net income per common share - diluted exclude certain charges and/or credits as reported in our net income attributable to Boston Scientific common stockholders and net income per common share - diluted for purposes of assessing operating performance.

Adjusted measures, including operational and organic net sales growth, adjusted net income attributable to Boston Scientific common stockholders and adjusted net income per common share - diluted, exclude certain items required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a replacement for, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Refer to Additional Information for a discussion of management’s use of these non-GAAP financial measures.

Macroeconomic Environment

As a global developer, manufacturer and marketer of medical devices, our business is subject to local and international macroeconomic trends as well as geopolitical factors. Continued uncertainty around inflationary pressures, interest rates, foreign currency fluctuations, global trade policies and changes in tax laws, as well as actions by governments in response thereto, could create economic challenges which could negatively impact our business and results of operations. There continues to be significant uncertainty in the tariff environment and with respect to global trade policies, including changing tariff rates, tariff imposition delays, and the potential for reciprocal restrictive trade policies by the U.S. or other governments around the world. We continue to anticipate incurring incremental costs under the current schedule of tariffs on U.S. imports announced by the U.S. government, as well as any potential increases in tariffs introduced by China on U.S. manufactured products. While the U.S. and other governments continue negotiations on such measures, these and any further tariff increases on our products by the U.S., China or any other country or region, as well as sanctions or other measures that restrict international trade, could have a material adverse impact on our business operations and results. We continue to monitor the situation while exploring opportunities to mitigate the impacts of such tariffs. There can be no guarantee that we will be able to offset the impact of tariffs, the ultimate impact of which will depend on various factors, including the timing, scope, duration and nature of any tariffs, any other trade restrictions or opportunities to mitigate such impacts. Global supply chain conditions have continued to improve, however we have continued to experience, and may in the future experience, increases in cost and limited availability of certain raw materials, components, and other inputs necessary to manufacture and distribute our products due to constraints and inflation within the global supply chain, as well as increases in wage costs and the cost and time to distribute our products. Further, geopolitical developments and uncertainties, including related to various ongoing global conflicts and tensions, may also create economic, supply chain, transportation, energy, and other challenges, including disruptions to our suppliers or our customers' operations, which could negatively impact our business and results of operations.

Net Sales

The following section describes our net sales by reportable segment and business. In the fourth quarter of 2025, an organizational change combined our legacy Cardiology and Peripheral Interventions businesses into a single Cardiovascular business. We have revised prior periods to conform to the current year presentation. The change had no impact on our reportable segments. For additional information on our business units and product offerings, refer to Part I, Item 1. Business of this Annual Report.
