Sentiment:

Annual Report


Varex Imaging reported a 4% revenue increase to $844.6 million in fiscal year 2025, but recognized a significant $93.9 million goodwill impairment charge in its Medical segment.

Delay expectedThe China Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) initiated two investigations related to medical products imported into China, including CT X-ray tubes and tube inserts from the United States. These investigations were temporarily suspended in May 2025 and August 2025, and then indefinitely suspended in November 2025. If recommenced, they are anticipated to take approximately one year to resolve, creating uncertainty and potential delays in market access or increased costs.
Capital raiseThe company issued an additional $125.0 million of 7.875% Senior Secured Notes (Senior Secured Notes Add On) on December 20, 2024.The net proceeds from the Senior Secured Notes Add On, approximately $123.9 million, were used to repay a portion of the Convertible Notes on their maturity date of June 1, 2025.
Worse than expectedThe company reported a net loss of $70.3 million in fiscal year 2025, which is worse than the $48.8 million net loss in fiscal year 2024.A significant goodwill impairment charge of $93.9 million was recorded in the Medical reporting unit, directly contributing to the increased net loss.Cash provided by operating activities decreased by $5.6 million in fiscal year 2025, indicating weaker operational cash generation.

Sentiment

Score: 4

Explanation: While revenue growth and gross margin improvement are positive, the significant goodwill impairment charge and increased net loss, coupled with ongoing geopolitical and trade risks, indicate a challenging financial performance for the year. The indefinite suspension of MOFCOM investigations adds uncertainty, despite the positive impact of the OBBBA on future cash taxes.

  • The company successfully repaid $200.0 million of Convertible Senior Unsecured Notes that matured in June 2025.

Negatives

  • A significant goodwill impairment charge of $93.9 million was recorded in the Medical reporting unit during fiscal year 2025.
  • Net loss attributable to Varex increased to $70.3 million in fiscal year 2025 from $48.8 million in fiscal year 2024.
  • Cash provided by operating activities decreased by $5.6 million in fiscal year 2025 compared to fiscal year 2024.

  • The effective tax rate was negative (18.1)% in fiscal year 2025, primarily due to the goodwill impairment and unfavorable impact of U.S. deferred tax attributes and foreign losses.
  • The Medical reporting unit's goodwill remains susceptible to future impairment charges if projections or macroeconomic conditions significantly change adversely.

Risks

  • Changes in import/export regulatory regimes, tariffs, trade wars, and national policies, including the ongoing U.S.-China trade war, can increase costs, lower margins, and reduce competitiveness.
  • Dependence on a limited number of OEM customers (top five accounted for 40% of revenue) means delays or loss of business from one or more could materially reduce sales.
  • Customer-driven changes in order forecasts, economic uncertainties, and geopolitical tensions make it difficult to accurately predict demand or delivery schedules, potentially leading to excess inventory or sales slowdowns.
  • Intense competition and pricing pressures in the imaging components business, including from OEM customers with in-house manufacturing capabilities, could lead to margin erosion and customer loss.
  • Inability to anticipate and meet evolving customer needs and demands, including shifts in product preferences or challenges with U.S. Dollar strength, could adversely affect revenue and margins.
  • Supply chain disruptions, loss of suppliers, and inability to obtain raw materials or key components due to inflation or other constraints can delay production and increase costs.
  • Operations are vulnerable to interruption or loss due due to natural disasters, climate change, power loss, strikes, and other events beyond control.
  • Unpredictable demand for security, industrial, and inspection products, influenced by government policies and budgets, leads to revenue and earnings volatility.
  • Disruption of critical information systems or material breaches in cybersecurity could adversely affect business operations, customer relations, and expose the company to litigation and liability.
  • Inability to maintain or defend intellectual property rights, and the high costs associated with protecting IP and defending against infringement claims, could harm competitive position.
  • Noncompliance with U.S. and foreign regulations applicable to marketing, manufacturing, labeling, and distributing products, or delays in obtaining regulatory clearances, could harm the business.
  • Limitations imposed by operating and financial restrictions of debt financing agreements could limit operating flexibility and ability to make payments or refinance debt.
  • Failure to maintain effective internal controls and procedures, or changes in accounting standards and subjective management judgments, could negatively impact financial reporting.
  • Future impairment charges related to goodwill could have an adverse effect on financial condition and results of operations, especially for the Medical reporting unit.
  • Inability to retain, attract, expand, integrate, and train management and other key personnel could hinder business maintenance or expansion.
  • Evolving environmental, social, and governance (ESG) matters and reporting requirements could expose the company to numerous risks, including reputational harm and increased costs.
  • Legal proceedings, claims, government inspections, audits, or investigations, such as the VEC joint venture disputes and MOFCOM investigations, can be costly, time-consuming, and disruptive.

Future Outlook

Varex Imaging anticipates solid demand for Linatron X-ray accelerators in fiscal year 2026, despite some expected contraction. The company expects the U.S. One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) to lower U.S. taxable income and cash taxes over the next several years, with normalization expected in fiscal year 2027. The indefinitely suspended MOFCOM investigations, if recommenced, are anticipated to take approximately one year to resolve. The company continues to expand manufacturing capabilities globally and implement local sourcing strategies to mitigate tariff impacts and supply chain disruptions. The Medical reporting unit's goodwill remains susceptible to future impairment charges if projections or macroeconomic conditions change adversely.

  • We remain committed to working with our customers to minimize the effects of the tariffs.
  • At this time, however, we do not anticipate these efforts will allow us to fully offset the additional costs or other negative impacts resulting from such tariffs.
  • Considering the mitigation efforts we have in flight at this point, we are not currently planning to do any restructuring in China.
  • We expect demand to remain solid in fiscal year 2026 for Linatron X-ray accelerators, despite some anticipated contraction.

Industry Context

Varex Imaging operates in highly competitive medical diagnostic imaging, security inspection, and industrial quality inspection markets. The company's strategy of developing customized components and leveraging its scale as a large independent supplier helps maintain customer loyalty, especially with long-term OEM relationships. The industry faces challenges from geopolitical tensions, trade wars (particularly U.S.-China), and regulatory scrutiny (e.g., China's anti-corruption campaign and MOFCOM investigations), which can impact demand and increase costs. The shift towards advanced technologies like photon counting detectors and AI integration is a key trend. The healthcare sector's demand is also influenced by government healthcare policies and reimbursement rates, while the industrial sector is affected by government spending on security and broader manufacturing trends.

Comparison to Industry Standards

  • Varex is one of the largest independent global manufacturers of X-ray imaging components, producing over 27,000 X-ray tubes and 20,000 X-ray detectors annually, indicating a significant market presence compared to smaller competitors.
  • The company competes with in-house X-ray tube manufacturing operations of major diagnostic imaging systems companies like Canon, Philips Healthcare, and Siemens Healthineers, requiring Varex to maintain a competitive advantage in technology, performance, quality, availability, or price.
  • In the digital flat panel detector business, Varex competes against Trixell S.A.S., Canon, Vieworks Co., Ltd., Hamamatsu Corporation, iRay Technology (Shanghai) Limited, and Jiangsu CareRay Medical Systems Co., Ltd., highlighting a fragmented and competitive landscape.
  • For high-energy industrial X-ray sources, Varex competes with Nuctech Company Limited, Siemens, ETM Electromatic Inc., and PMB Alcen, and also competes with OEMs like Rapiscan, Smiths, Leidos, and Astrophysics for cargo system sales, indicating a dual role as supplier and competitor in some segments.
  • The company's gross profit for Industrial products is generally higher relative to its Medical business, suggesting more favorable pricing dynamics or cost structures in the industrial sector compared to industry averages for medical components.

Corporate Governance

Change TypeDescriptionEffective DateImpact Assessment
Bylaws AmendmentAmended and Restated Bylaws provide that they may be amended by the board of directors or by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of voting stock then-outstanding.Maintains flexibility for board and majority stockholders to amend bylaws.
Certificate of Incorporation AmendmentAffirmative vote of holders of at least 66 2/3% of voting stock then-outstanding is required to amend certain provisions (e.g., director term/removal, board vacancies, special meetings, written consent, director liability, indemnification). This 66 2/3% threshold will be of no force and effect after the completion of the 2021 annual meeting, after which a majority vote will suffice.2025-02-13The amendment effective February 13, 2025, and the future reduction of the voting threshold to a majority after the 2021 annual meeting, could make it easier for stockholders to amend certain corporate governance provisions, potentially reducing anti-takeover protections over time.
Board DeclassificationThe board of directors was initially classified into three staggered terms. Commencing with the 2020 annual meeting, directors stand for two-year terms; commencing with the 2021 annual meeting, directors stand for one-year terms; and commencing with the 2022 annual meeting, all directors will stand for election for a one-year term.2022-01-01The declassification of the board to one-year terms by the 2022 annual meeting enhances accountability of directors to shareholders and reduces anti-takeover defenses by making it easier for shareholders to change a majority of the board in a single election cycle.
Director Removal StandardFor so long as the board is classified, directors may be removed only for cause by a majority vote. Following the 2022 annual meeting, directors may be removed with or without cause by a majority vote.2022-01-01The change to allow removal of directors with or without cause by a majority vote after the 2022 annual meeting increases shareholder power and director accountability.
Stockholder Action by Written ConsentThe right of stockholders to act by written consent is expressly eliminated effective as of the distribution. Stockholder action must take place at annual or special meetings.2017-01-27This provision limits shareholder ability to act outside of formal meetings, serving as an anti-takeover measure.
Special Stockholder MeetingsOnly the board of directors (by majority resolution) or the chairman of the board (with majority board concurrence) may call special meetings of stockholders. Stockholders may not call special meetings.This restricts shareholder ability to call special meetings, acting as an anti-takeover defense.
Exclusive Forum ProvisionDelaware state courts (or federal court for District of Delaware) are the sole and exclusive forum for certain internal corporate claims (derivative actions, breach of fiduciary duty, DGCL claims, internal affairs doctrine claims).Aims to centralize litigation in Delaware, potentially reducing costs and increasing predictability for corporate governance disputes, but may limit forum options for plaintiffs.

Legal Proceedings

  • Varex Imaging Deutschland AG (Varex Germany) holds a 50% interest in VEC Imaging GmbH & Co. KG (VEC), a joint venture. In August 2023, February 2024, and August 2024, the partners filed judicial proceedings in Germany disputing the validity of shareholder resolutions, with each party seeking to remove the other's managing director(s) and exclude the other from the joint venture.
  • On October 31, 2025, a German court ruled that neither party had been validly excluded from the VEC joint venture, and both remain parties. Either party has 30 days to appeal, and a successful appeal would require the prevailing party to purchase the non-prevailing party's interest for 75% of fair market value (amount in dispute).
  • In June 2024, Varex Germany filed an action in Germany for a negative declaratory judgment and an injunction against business damaging statements made by certain third parties.
  • In August 2024, October 2024, and subsequently, Varex Germany and Varex Imaging Corporation filed additional lawsuits in Germany and the United States relating to intellectual property matters, breach of contracts, and other matters. The October 2024 lawsuit was voluntarily dismissed for settlement negotiations.
  • Varex Imaging International AG holds a 75% interest in Varex Imaging Arabia LLC and has ongoing disputes with its joint venture partner regarding the operation of the joint venture.
  • The China Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) initiated two investigations in April 2025 related to medical products imported into China, including CT X-ray tubes and tube inserts from the United States. These investigations were temporarily suspended in May 2025 and August 2025, and indefinitely suspended in November 2025. If recommenced, they could negatively impact Varex's business.
  • The company is currently a party to certain product liability litigation which, if adversely determined, could have a material adverse impact on financial results.

Related Party Transactions

  • Varex has a 40% ownership interest in dpiX Holding Company LLC, a supplier of amorphous silicon-based thin film transistor arrays. Varex accounts for this investment under the equity method.
  • In fiscal year 2025, Varex recorded a loss of $2.3 million on its equity investment in dpiX Holding.
  • Varex purchased $19.8 million in glass transistor arrays from dpiX in fiscal year 2025.
  • As of October 3, 2025, Varex had accounts payable to dpiX totaling $1.9 million.
  • Varex is committed to pay 50% of dpiX's fixed costs, which was $13.7 million for calendar year 2025, with an estimated $3.4 million remaining for the rest of 2025.
  • Varex has a 50% interest in VEC Imaging GmbH & Co. KG (VEC), a joint venture for X-ray imaging component technology, accounted for under the equity method. Varex recorded a loss of $0.0 million on this investment in fiscal year 2025.
  • As of October 3, 2025, Varex had loans and other receivables from VEC of $0.8 million.

Stakeholder Impact

  • Shareholders: Experienced a net loss of $70.3 million and a significant goodwill impairment, which negatively impacted equity. The stock price declined, leading to a lower market capitalization. The declassification of the board and changes in amendment thresholds could increase shareholder influence over governance.
  • Employees: Kimberley Honeysett's transition out of her CLO role impacts executive leadership. The company continues to invest in competitive total rewards, health and wellness benefits, equity incentives, and training, aiming to attract and retain talent in a competitive labor market.
  • Customers (OEMs): Face potential impacts from tariffs and trade wars, which could increase costs or reduce competitiveness. Varex's efforts to localize manufacturing and offer local content aim to mitigate these impacts for customers. Delays in product delivery due to supply chain issues could affect customer production schedules.
  • Suppliers: Some key components are sourced from a limited group or single suppliers, making them critical to Varex's operations. Supply chain disruptions or changes in supplier relationships could impact Varex's ability to meet demand.
  • Creditors: The company's debt obligations, including Senior Secured Notes due 2027 and the Revolving Credit Facility, impose financial covenants. The repayment of Convertible Notes reduces immediate debt, but new Senior Secured Notes were issued. The goodwill impairment could affect credit perceptions, though the company believes it has sufficient liquidity.

Next Steps

  • Continue to expand manufacturing capabilities at facilities in China, Germany, the Netherlands, the Philippines, and India to mitigate tariff impacts and be closer to the global customer base.
  • Implement local sourcing strategies to offer local content, acting as a natural hedge against trade wars and supply chain disruptions.
  • Monitor potential changes in customer procurement decisions resulting from the current trade climate and other tariff-related actions.
  • Actively pursue new potential applications for products in non-destructive testing, which is identified as a significant growth opportunity.
  • Continue to invest in research and development, focusing on smaller footprint linear accelerators, improvements to tube life and stability, reductions of tube noise, and new panel technologies like photon counting.
  • Address the VEC joint venture disputes, with a German court ruling that neither party was validly excluded, and potential appeals within 30 days.
  • Kimberley Honeysett will transition out of her CLO role by October 3, 2025, and continue as a non-executive employee or advisor until December 12, 2027, with a second release to be signed by December 1, 2027.

Recommendation

hold

Varex Imaging's fiscal year 2025 results present a mixed picture. While the company achieved revenue growth in both Medical and Industrial segments and improved gross margins, the significant goodwill impairment charge of $93.9 million led to a substantial net loss. This impairment, coupled with ongoing geopolitical risks, trade wars, and regulatory uncertainties (like the MOFCOM investigations), creates a cautious outlook. The company's efforts to mitigate tariff impacts and expand manufacturing globally are positive strategic moves. However, the increased net loss and the susceptibility of the Medical segment's goodwill to future impairment warrant a 'hold' recommendation. Investors should monitor the resolution of legal disputes, the impact of trade policies, and the company's ability to convert its backlog into profitable revenue, especially given the competitive landscape and reliance on a limited number of OEM customers. The long-term potential in non-destructive testing and advanced X-ray technologies is promising, but current headwinds suggest a period of stabilization rather than aggressive growth.
