# Steris: Business Model & Revenue Engine

## Direct Answer

Steris reports revenue across 3 business segments in its fiscal 2026 Form 10-K. Healthcare is the largest, with $4.2 billion of revenue (71% of the total), followed by Applied Sterilization Technologies at $1.1 billion (19%). 73% of revenue came from the United States.

## How Does Steris Make Money?

Healthcare supplies 71% of revenue, so Steris's results move mostly with that one business; the others matter more for diversification than for the headline number. Between fiscal 2025 and 2026, Applied Sterilization Technologies grew fastest (+9.6%) and Healthcare slowest (+8.5%), so the revenue mix tilts toward Applied Sterilization Technologies while that gap lasts.

| Segment | FY2026 revenue | FY2025 revenue | Share of revenue | Change |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Healthcare | $4.2 billion | $3.9 billion | 70.9% | 8.5% |
| Applied Sterilization Technologies | $1.1 billion | $1.0 billion | 19.2% | 9.6% |
| Life Science | $589 million | $542 million | 9.9% | 8.6% |

## What Does Steris Sell?

Steris also breaks revenue down by product and service line, which shows what customers pay for rather than how management organizes the business.

| Product or service | FY2026 revenue | FY2025 revenue | Share of revenue | Change |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Product | $3.1 billion | $2.9 billion | 51.6% | 6.6% |
| Service | $2.9 billion | $2.6 billion | 48.4% | 11.1% |

## Where Does Steris's Revenue Come From?

Regions follow the definitions in the filing; most companies assign revenue by customer location.

| Region | FY2026 revenue | FY2025 revenue | Share of revenue | Change |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| United States | $4.3 billion | $4.0 billion | 73.0% | 8.1% |
| Otherforeignlocations | $1.5 billion | $1.3 billion | 25.2% | 11.1% |
| Ireland | $109 million | $107 million | 1.8% | 1.1% |

## What the Segment Figures Do Not Show

The rows above add up to 100% of Steris's reported revenue for fiscal 2026; the difference is intersegment eliminations, corporate revenue or items the company reports outside its segments. Segment definitions are management's choice and change when a company reorganizes, in which case it restates prior years in the next filing, so a multi-year comparison should use the figures from a single filing. Revenue shows where sales come from, not where profit or cash is earned: a small segment can carry most of the margin.

## Where These Numbers Come From

Every figure on this page is a value Steris reported in the segment note and revenue disclosures of its Form 10-K filed May 29, 2026 (accession 0001628280-26-039136), read from the SEC's Financial Statement Data Sets. The prior-year column is the comparative figure from that same filing, so it reflects any restatement for a change in segments. Category names are the company's own XBRL labels, lightly reformatted for reading.

Rows that only total other rows (for example a "Products" line beside the individual products) are left out so nothing is counted twice. This page is educational and describes reported history for fiscal 2026; it is not a forecast or a recommendation.
