The following are excerpts of the transcript of Boston Scientific Corporation's Q1 2026 Earnings Call, held on April 22, 2026.

**Q1 2026 Earnings Call**

**<u>CORPORATE PARTICIPANTS</u>**

**Lauren Tengler**<br> *Vice President-Investor Relations, Boston Scientific Corp.*

**Michael F. Mahoney**<br> *Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, Boston Scientific Corp.*

**Jonathan Richard Monson**<br> *Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer, Boston Scientific Corp.*

**<u>MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION SECTION</u>**

*[ . . . ]*

**Lauren Tengler**<br> *Vice President-Investor Relations, Boston Scientific Corp.*

Thank you, Bailey, and thanks to everyone for joining us. With me today are Mike Mahoney, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer; Jon Monson, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. During the Q&A session, Mike and Jon will be joined by our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Ken Stein.

We issued a press release earlier this morning announcing our Q1 2026 results, which included reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures used in this release. The release, as well as reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures used in today's call, can be found on the Investor Relations section of the website.

Please note that on the call operational revenue excludes the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, and organic revenue further excludes certain acquisitions and divestitures, for which there is less than a full period of comparable net sales.

Guidance excludes the previously announced agreement to acquire Penumbra, which is expected to close in 2026, subject to customary closing conditions. For more information, please refer to the Q1 Financial and Operational Highlights deck, which may be found in the Investor Relations section of our website.

On this call, all references to sales and revenue are organic, and relative growth is compared to the same quarter in prior year, unless otherwise specified. This call contains forward-looking statements regarding, among other things, our financial performance, business plans, and product performance and development. These statements are based on our current beliefs, using information available to us as of today's date, and are not intended to be guarantees of future events or performance.

If our underlying assumptions turn out to be incorrect, or certain risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results could vary materially from those projected by the forward-looking statements.

Factors that may cause such differences are discussed in our periodic reports and other filings with the SEC, including the Risk Factors section of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Boston Scientific disclaims any intention or obligation to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by law.

In addition, this call does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of any offer to buy any securities or solicitation of any vote or approval in connection with the proposed transaction with Penumbra. Boston Scientific has filed with SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 containing a proxy statement of Penumbra and a prospectus of Boston Scientific that contains important information about Penumbra, Boston Scientific, the proposed transaction, and related matters.

At this point, I'll turn it over to Mike.

**Michael F. Mahoney**<br> *Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, Boston Scientific Corp.*

*[ . . . ]*

We remain excited about the opportunity to add the Penumbra team and highly differentiated portfolio to Boston Scientific. We anticipate that the deal will close in the second half of 2026, subject to the Penumbra shareholder vote on May 6th and the receipt of the remaining regulatory clearances.

*[ . . . ]*

With that, I'll hand it over to Jon.

*[ . . . ]*

**Jonathan Richard Monson**<br> *Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer, Boston Scientific Corp.*

*[ . . . ]*

Our top capital allocation priority remains strategic tuck-in M&A, followed by share repurchase. In alignment with this strategy, we recently closed the acquisition of Valencia Technologies, which complements our Urology business, and we expect our announced acquisition of Penumbra to close in the second half of 2026.

**<u>QUESTION AND ANSWER SECTION</u>**

**David Roman**

*Goldman Sachs*

Thank you. Good morning, everybody. I wanted maybe just to toggle over to the other 70-plus percent of the business end that's non-EP and WATCHMAN—and appreciate some of the dynamics that you walked through on the call—but maybe you could unpack a little bit for us in more detail, kind of where you see that cohort of the business going, some of the specific product launches that you expect to see in 2026 and 2027 that we should be watching, and the extent to which that piece of the business can get back toward kind of an 8% growth level where it was, call it, before the ACURATE discontinuation.

**Michael F. Mahoney**<br> *Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, Boston Scientific Corp*.

*[ . . . ]*

The Interventional Oncology business grew mid-teens—and I talked about a key workflow launch that they additionally had, along with some tuck-in M&A that they're executing on. And hopefully, the shareholder vote goes positive for us with Penumbra on May 7th.

And we're really excited about that team, which is extremely talented and brings a really differentiated portfolio in gaps that we have across Boston Scientific in that category.

So, particularly in combination—you know, standalone without Penumbra, that business is doing extremely well. In the future—ideally with Penumbra—that's a very unique, powerful growth driver for the company over this LRP period. And I think a lot of the discussion will still be on WATCHMAN and EP, but much more will pivot to that area given the launches and momentum in that area.

**Matthew O'Brien**

*Piper Sandler*

Good morning. Thanks for taking the question. I was hoping to talk a little bit about Penumbra. I know the vote's coming up here in just a few weeks. Just curious about Boston's comfort level in adding additional cash to that transaction, if required, just given the pullback in your stock and the degradation in the value of the overall transaction. If that were to be the case, would you still be committed to the deal at the current—or at the previous valuation—if a higher cash component is required? Thanks.

**Michael F. Mahoney**<br> *Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, Boston Scientific Corp*.

Yes, I would just comment on Penumbra in general. We've gotten to know their leadership team extremely well. We've really focused on the winning spirit of the—the momentum of the ICVT team we have and the potential addition to Penumbra. We think is a very, very powerful business and combination over time.

We've said many, many times that we essentially plan to run Penumbra as a business unit consistent with how we do Boston Scientific: global presidents, keeping their strong commercial team intact, keeping their R&D pipeline. So, we have a very solid way to maintain and enhance the Penumbra momentum post-closing. We have the shareholder vote on May 7th. We're hopeful and confident that will be approved as planned.
