Here are the key takeaways from Butterfly Network’s conference call:

  • Q4 revenue was a record $31.5M (+41% YoY) and the company reported its first quarter of positive operating cash flow, driven largely by upfront payments from the Midjourney agreement.
  • Butterfly says Embedded is accelerating — it executed a $74M Midjourney contract (contributed $6.8M in Q4), reports ~8–9 embedded partners and a large pipeline, and expects potential future chip sales and revenue‑share as partners commercialize.
  • Profitability and liquidity improved (Q4 adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed to -$3.2M, FY cash use fell to $19.4M, year‑end cash $154.5M) and 2026 revenue guidance is $117–121M (+20–24%), though the company still expects a full‑year adjusted EBITDA loss of $21–25M.
  • International revenue declined (Q4 down 6% YoY) and sales mix showed a 79% drop in iQ+ units, highlighting U.S. concentration and exposure to timing, tariff and commercialization risks tied to large Embedded partners.
