Lifeward Ltd. expects its total revenue for the full year 2026 to be similar to its 2025 results [3].
The projection comes as the company attempts to stabilize its financial trajectory after facing early-year setbacks. By integrating a new acquisition and securing fresh capital, Lifeward aims to overcome supply chain disruptions that hindered its initial quarterly performance.
During an earnings call on May 15, the company's unnamed president, CEO, and director said the first quarter of 2026 marked an important strategic milestone for Lifeward as it successfully completed the acquisition of Oratech.
The Oratech acquisition brought $6.5 million in cash [4] and is intended to expand the company's product portfolio. To further support growth and address working-capital constraints, Lifeward also secured $10 million through convertible note financing [1].
Despite these strategic moves, the company faced challenges at the start of the year. Revenue declined in the first quarter due to temporary AlterG shipment disruptions caused by supply chain execution issues and working capital constraints [5].
Management said that while the year began with these hurdles, they expect a "better exit trajectory" than entry for the 2026 fiscal year [3]. This suggests the company anticipates stronger performance in the latter half of the year to offset the early losses.
The combination of the Oratech integration and the new financing is designed to mitigate the constraints that led to the first-quarter dip. By bolstering its cash position, the company seeks to ensure more reliable shipment schedules and a broader market reach through its expanded offerings.
“The first quarter of 2026 marked an important strategic milestone for Lifeward as we successfully completed the acquisition of Oratech.”
Lifeward is currently in a recovery phase, using inorganic growth and debt financing to counteract operational failures. The reliance on a convertible note to solve working-capital constraints indicates that the company struggled with liquidity, which directly impacted its ability to ship products. By targeting revenue parity with the previous year, the company is signaling a goal of stabilization rather than aggressive growth for 2026.
