Did VREX Beat Earnings? Q1 2026 Results
Varex Imaging delivered a stronger-than-expected fiscal first quarter, with non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.19 beating the $0.13 consensus estimate by 50.79% and revenue of $209.60 million edging past the $207.80 million forecast by 0.87%, representing 4.9% year-over-year growth. The standout driver was the Industrial segment, which surged 17% year-over-year to $64.80 million, fueled by robust demand in the cargo security systems business, while the Medical segment held essentially flat at $144.80 million. Profitability improved meaningfully despite slight gross margin compression, with non-GAAP operating income reaching $18.90 million at a 9.0% margin, up from 7.2% a year ago, and adjusted EBITDA climbing to $28.50 million from $25.50 million. The company also swung to GAAP net income of $2.30 million, compared to a loss in the prior-year period. Looking ahead, management guided Q2 FY2026 revenue of $210 million to $225 million and non-GAAP EPS of $0.15 to $0.25, citing continued strength in CT product demand and sustained cargo security momentum.
