In February, we launched RECELL GO mini, a targeted innovation designed specifically for trauma centers treating smaller wounds. Let me step back for a moment and explain why we've created it. Our original RECELL System was developed to treat large burns, covering up to 10% total body surface area or about 1,920 sq cm. However, data from our pivotal trial to support our pre-market approval of full-thickness skin defects for trauma and early market observations made it clear.

In fact, the surgical team described Cohealyx as a welcome addition to their toolkit and emphasized its compatibility with their existing protocols. These initial experiences reflect the kind of clinical feedback we're hearing as adoption expands, and it's exactly the type of outcome other centers are looking for as they evaluate integration into their protocols. Cohealyx is now available in multiple sheet sizes, including a large format 700 square centimeter sheet. Importantly, 3 large format sheets cover the treatment area of a typical RECELL burn case of 1,920 square centimeters, enabling full coverage of the wound.

Slide 4 shows what that means in terms of potential revenue per case. As hospitals adopt across our portfolio, we expect the realized average selling price per case to rise meaningfully. Now, to support our portfolio transformation, we needed to evolve our commercial model to match. This required a significant shift in our commercial approach. Historically, our reps provided heavy service-oriented, case-based procedural support, meaning our clinical special staff or sales reps will be physically present for many RECELL cases. That model served us well during the initial introduction of this first-in-category product when we were a burn-only single-product company. With the launch of multiple products and a more complex call point, we need to evolve our sales model.

David OToole: As Jim indicated, we are on the precipice of recharging this historical growth rate in the coming quarter. Early indicators from the February launch of Resell Go Mini and April launch of Cohelix continue to suggest that these products will meaningfully contribute to revenue growth throughout 2025. alongside the increasing momentum from premium. Gross profit margin for the first quarter was $84.7. down from 86.4% during the same period of 2024. Note that the gross margin for resale products only was 86.4% for the. which we believe will remain in this range for future quarters.

Note that the gross margin for RECELL products only was 86.4% for the quarter, which we believe will remain in this range for future quarters. The decrease in the overall gross margin percentage from the prior year was primarily caused by volume discounts, a higher inventory reserve, and product mix. As the percentage of our revenue derived from new products increases, we will continue to see a small degradation of our overall gross margin percentage while increasing our gross margin dollars and operating dollars.

David OToole: while increasing our gross margin dollars and operating. As we have disclosed, we share the average sales price for Cohelix at 50% and for Permioderm at 60%.

Brooks O'Neil: Good afternoon, everyone. I guess I'll start. I have a sense that you've said a limited commercial launch of Cohealyx occurred in Q1. Can you share anecdotally any response, impressions, performance you've witnessed of that product and says to you about the pending full launch that's occurring now?
Brooks O'Neill: I guess I'll start.
Speaker Change: Good afternoon.
James Corbett: I have a Since that you've said a limited commercial launch of Cohelix occurred in Q1, can you share anecdotally any response, impressions, performance you've witnessed of that product and says to you about the pending full launch that's occurring now. Sure can, Brooks. Thanks for the question. So first of all, we, you may recall that the preclinical work demonstrated a graft readiness at seven days, which is quite almost seven to 14 days faster than other dermal matrices that we studied in that same preclinical work. what we experienced in the Limited Market Release was really us gathering case data to help support commercialization April 1, is we actually validated that experience.
Speaker Change: Everyone I guess I'll start.
Speaker Change: Dan that you said limited commercial launch of co helix occurred in Q1 can you share anecdotally any.
Speaker Change: Response impressions performance, you've witnessed of that product and does deal about that.

Jim Corbett: Sure can, Brooks. Thanks for the question. First of all, you may recall that the preclinical work demonstrated a graft readiness at 7 days, which is quite almost 7 to 14 days faster than other dermal matrixes that we studied in that same preclinical work. What we experienced in the limited market release was really us gathering case data to help support commercialization 1 April, is we actually validated that experience. There was a case that's in the news put out by Ohio State, where they had a 7-day graft-ready experience with Cohealyx. That is consistent with a couple dozen cases that we did there in Q1. In Q1, we didn't have a broad, full SKU array of sizes, so we were limited to treat certain size of cases. On 1 April, we're fully stocked, including the 700 sq cm sheets.
Speaker Change: Sure sure Ken Brooks, Thanks for the question.

They've been through IRB, and right now they're screening patients and preparing to enroll. So during the year, we'll get access to that data as well. So since that time, we've had a number of early commercial adoption cases where they've been through VAC already, shorter than we were experiencing, frankly, with resell-go times. So we're really excited about how CoHelix is going.
Speaker Change: In Q1, we didn't have abroad.

Since that time, we've had a number of early commercial adoption cases where they've been through VAC already, shorter than we were experiencing, frankly, with RECELL GO times. We're really excited about how Cohealyx is going. The organization is trained, and as you heard, we reconfigured the sales organization as well because, of course, Cohealyx gets sold at the first stage of a 2-stage procedure.

Brooks O'Neil: Great. That was very helpful, Jim. The other question I want to ask is just obviously RECELL GO mini and the expansion of the product into the level 1 and level 2 trauma centers. I'm curious if you could give us just any sense for whether that's working, what the response is.
Brooks O'Neill: That was very helpful, Jim.
Speaker Change: Yes.
James Corbett: So the other question I want to ask is just Obviously, resale go mini and the expansion of the product into the level one and level two trauma centers. I'm curious if you could give us just any, any sense for whether that's working, what the response So first of all, we had our, although the product was approved at the end of December, our first inventory was in early February. So that was our first promotion time. We've had a fair, I would say a good response from existing VAC approved accounts. that were in the trauma area that we had converted last year.
Speaker Change: Great that was very helpful. Jim So the other question I wanted to ask you is just.
Speaker Change: Obviously, we sell go many and the expansion of the product into the level, one and level two trauma centers I'm curious if you could give us just any.
Speaker Change: Any sense for whether that's working what the responses.
Jim Corbett: First of all, although the product was approved at the end of December, our first inventory was in early February, so that was our first promotion time. We've had a fair, I would say a good response from existing VAC-approved accounts that were in the trauma area that we had converted last year, who've taken in inventory for RECELL GO mini. It's a real important distinction that those patients are way in the majority under that 2.5% total body surface area that RECELL GO mini covers, which is 480 square centimeters. The response is good. You know what else we've noticed is with the portfolio as we now have it with PermeaDerm and Cohealyx and RECELL GO mini, there's more opportunities to provide value to the trauma surgeon. It is making a difference on our selling activity.
Speaker Change: So first of all we had our although the product was approved at the end of December our first inventory was in early February so that was our first promotion time we've.

James Corbett: who've taken in inventory for ReCell Go Mini. It's a real important distinction that those patients are way in the majority under that two and a half percent total body surface area that ReCell Go Mini covers, which is 480 square centimeters. So the response is good. And you know what else we've noticed is with the portfolio as we now have it, with Permiaderm and ReCell Go Mini, Cohelix, and Resulco Mini, there's more opportunities to provide value to the trauma surgeon. So it is making a difference on our selling activity. Great.
Speaker Change: Converted last year.
Speaker Change: Who've taken in inventory for resale go many.
Speaker Change: A really important distinction that those patients are.
Speaker Change: Way in the majority under that two 5% total body surface area that we saw Germany covers which is 480 square centimeters.

Speaker Change: With a portfolio as we now have it with Permian Derm and.

That's very helpful, and it sounds like that rollout is off to a nice start. I was hoping we could talk just about any potential revenue contributions from that launch that we should be assuming within the guidance for 2025 and maybe beyond that. Just wondering if you have any target attachment rates that you're working towards where folks are using Cohealyx in concert with the RECELL platform.
Eric: Hi, This is Eric on for Josh. Thank you guys for taking the question.

Yeah, that is a good question. We're not quite ready to give guidance on that mix. I will tell you it is expected by us to be a material contributor. We think, in fact, it is likely that by Q3, that we'll be breaking out the non-resale sales as a consequence, just to give you some directional guidance.
Speaker Change: I was hoping we could talk.
Speaker Change: About any potential revenue contributions from the launch that we should be assuming within the guidance for 25.
Speaker Change: And maybe beyond that just wondering if you have any target attachment rates that youre working towards where folks are using co helix in concert with the retail platform.
Jim Corbett: Yeah, that is a good question. We're not quite ready to give guidance on that mix. I will tell you it is expected by us to be a material contributor. We think, in fact, it is likely that by Q3 that we'll be breaking out the non-RECELL sales as a consequence, just to give you some directional guidance, if that's helpful.
Speaker Change: That is a good question, we're not quite ready to give guidance on that mix I will tell you. It is expected by us to be a material contributor. We think in fact, it is likely to by Q3, because that will be breaking out the non retail sales as a consequence, just to give you some directional.
Eric: if that's helpful. That is, yeah. Thank you for sharing that.
Speaker Change: Guidance.
Speaker Change: If that's helpful.
[Analyst] (TD Cowen): That is, yeah. Thank you for sharing that. Maybe secondly, just thinking about the sales force here, just looking at where revenues need to be by the end of this year to reach guidance.
Speaker Change: That is yes, thank you for sharing that.
James Corbett: And maybe secondly, just thinking about the sales force here, just looking at where revenues need to be by the end of this year to reach guidance. I was just wondering if you think you have the sales force in place now to, to reach those targets or if that's something that needs to be, to be looked at at some point. Now, actually, we feel very good about our staffing level. We reconfigured, because if you recall, we were... Structurally, we had, I think, 59 sales positions and 29 clinical specialist positions. And those clinical specialist positions were attached to two sales reps, right?
Speaker Change: And maybe secondly, just thinking about the sales force here, just looking at where revenues need to be by the end of this year to reach guidance. I was just wondering if you think you had the sales force in place now to to reach those targets or if that's something that needs to be to be looked at at some point here.
Jim Corbett: Yeah.
[Analyst] (TD Cowen): I was just wondering if you think you have the sales force in place now to reach those targets, or if that's something that needs to be looked at at some point here?
Jim Corbett: Actually, we feel very good about our staffing level. We reconfigured because if you recall, structurally we had, I think, 59 sales positions and 29 clinical specialist positions. Those clinical specialist positions were attached to 2 sales reps, right? The model very much was heavily a sales service model, and in a 2-stage procedure, the clinical specialist, not the sales rep, would be present. Of course, during the initial stage, there was no explicit reason why our rep would be present. What we did is we have a number of very large accounts where we kept the clinical specialist model. We converted the roles of clinical specialists into essentially a sales associate level. We call them market development specialists, but they have a sales role.
Speaker Change: And now actually we feel very good about our staffing level, we reconfigured because if you recall we were.
Speaker Change: Structurally we had I think 59 sales positions and 29 clinical specialist positions and those kinds of asbestos specials positions were attached to.
Speaker Change: So sales reps right.
James Corbett: And the model very much was heavily a sales service model. And in a two-stage procedure, the sales rep... I mean, the clinical specialist, not the sales rep, would be present. And of course, during the initial stage, there was no explicit reason why our rep would be present. So what we did is we have a number of very large accounts where we kept the clinical specialist model. We converted the roles of clinical specialists into a sales associate level, we call them market development specialists, but they have a sales role. And so now our sales coverage is about.
Speaker Change: And the model very much was heavily to us our sales service model and in a two stage procedure the sales rep.
Speaker Change: I mean, the clinical specialist sales ramp.
Speaker Change: President and of course during the initial stage there was no explicit reason why our rep would be present. So what we did is we have a number of very large accounts, where we kept the clinical specialist model.
Speaker Change: We converted the roles of.
Speaker Change: Yes.
Speaker Change: Clinical specialists into a.
Speaker Change: So essentially our sales associate level, we call market development specialist, but they have a sales role.
Jim Corbett: Now our sales coverage is about approximately 70, and their goal is to be a selling team that is in stage 1 of the procedure when a dermal matrix is potentially used, and then to also be there when the split-thickness skin graft is used with RECELL and be there when the dressing that could be PermeaDerm would be applied. It's a much more selling-oriented model, and we trained on that during the Q1 and early in April. That is something that we've been preparing with this portfolio expansion.
Speaker Change: And so now our sales coverage is about.
James Corbett: approximately 70. And their goal is to be a selling team that is in stage one of the procedure when a dermal matrix is potentially used, and then to also be there when the split thickness skin graft is used with resale and be there when the dressing that could be permeaderm would be applied. So it's a much more selling-oriented model, and we trained on that during the first quarter and early in April. So that is something that we've been preparing with this portfolio expansion. Understood. That makes sense.
Speaker Change: Approximately 70.
Speaker Change: And their goal is to be a selling team that is in stage one of the procedure when a dermal matrixes potentially used and then to also be there when the split thickness skin graft is used with resell and be there when the dressing that could be Permian.
Speaker Change: <unk> will be applied.
Speaker Change: A much more selling oriented model and we trained on that during the first quarter and early in April so that is something that we've been.
Speaker Change: Preparing with this.
Speaker Change: Portfolio expansion.
[Analyst] (TD Cowen): Understood. That makes sense. If I could squeeze one last question, maybe for David here.
David OToole: And if I could squeeze one last question, maybe for David here. Just think about the cadence of revenues through the rest of this year. Should we be expecting to steady sequential increases through 2Q, 3Q, 4Q? Or is this going to be more heavily weighted towards those end of the year quarters as some of the new offerings from the pipeline begin to contribute? Yeah, I think that. Thank you for the question. I appreciate that. You know, the way we model it is there's more just sequential growth every quarter, with some weighted towards the back end, you can imagine that as we get more back approvals, especially for co helix, which is going to be a major contributor for us for this year and into next year.
Speaker Change: Understood that makes sense and if I could squeeze one last question maybe for David here. It looks like just given the cadence of revenues through the rest of this year should we be expecting to steady sequential increases through <unk> or is this going to be more heavily weighted towards those ended the year quarters as some of the new offerings from the pipeline begin to contribute.
Jim Corbett: Go for it.
[Analyst] (TD Cowen): Just thinking about the cadence of revenues through the rest of this year, should we be expecting just steady sequential increases through Q2, Q3, Q4, or is this going to be more heavily weighted towards those end-of-the-year quarters as some of the new offerings from the pipeline begin to contribute?
David O'Toole: Yeah. Thank you for the question. I appreciate that. The way we modeled it is there's more just sequential growth every quarter with some weighted towards the back end. You can imagine that as we get more VAC approvals, especially for Cohealyx, which is going to be a major contributor for us for this year and into next year. As we get more VAC approvals with Cohealyx, that will be towards the back end of the year that will take off. Overall, kind of an even sequential growth is what we're looking to do for the rest of the year.
David: Yes, I think that thank you for the question I appreciate that.
Speaker Change: Okay.
Speaker Change: The way, we modeled it as theres more just sequential growth every quarter with some weighted towards the backend you can imagine that as we get more vac approvals, especially for <unk>.
Speaker Change: <unk> helix, which is going to be a major contributor for us.
David OToole: So as we get more back approvals with co helix, that will be towards the back end of the year that that will take off. But overall, kind of an even sequential growth is what we're looking to do for the rest of the year. Okay, that's very helpful.
Speaker Change: For this year and into next year, so as we get more vac approvals with <unk> that will be towards the back end of the year that that will take off but overall kind of and even sequential growth is what we're looking to do for the rest of the year.
[Analyst] (TD Cowen): Okay. That's very helpful. Thank you for all the questions.
Eric: Thank you for all the questions.
Speaker Change: Okay. That's very helpful. Thank you for all the questions.
Operator: Thank you. Our next question coming from the line of Chris Callis with MSD Access.
Speaker Change: Yes.
Chris Kallos: Our next question coming from the line of Chris Kallos with MSD Access. Your line is now open. Thank you for taking my call.
Speaker Change: Thank you.
Speaker Change: Our next question coming from the line of Chris Collett with MST access your line is now open.
Chris Callis: Oh, thank you for taking my call. Hi, Jim. I just wanted to ask just some clarifying point on the vitiligo initiative. Could you just maybe just clarify where exactly that stands at the moment in terms of pursuing reimbursement?
Chris Collett: Thank you for taking my call Hi, Jim just wanted to ask.
Chris Kallos: Hi Jim, I just wanted to ask some clarifying point on the Vitiligo initiative. So could you just maybe just clarify where exactly that Stand at the moment in terms of pursuing reimbursement. Yes, Chris, I can. Good to hear from you.
Speaker Change: Terrifying point on the <unk> initiatives.
Speaker Change: Could you just.
So could you just maybe just clarify where exactly that. [inaudible]
Speaker Change: Staying at the moment in terms of pursuing reimbursement.
Jim Corbett: Yes, Chris, I can. Good to hear from you. What we've done is we have made a decision to pause spending on vitiligo because of the uncertainty of achieving reimbursement in the, it's called the office-based lab setting, which is a physician's office. That's where the market desire to treat is. RECELL is not reimbursed for vitiligo there, only in the hospital. As a consequence of our expanded opportunity in therapeutic acute wound care and the big opportunity we have there, we've decided that the best use of our resources is to build that market. As of now, we don't have a plan that we can define for solving vitiligo. We don't have a plan that we can define, and therefore we've suspended spending as a consequence until we identify a path.
James Corbett: So what we've done is we have made a decision to pause spending. on vitiligo because of the uncertainty of achieving reimbursement in the It's called the office-based lab setting, which is a physician's office. That's where the market desire to treat is. And resale is not reimbursed for vitiligo there, only in the hospital. And as a consequence. of our expanded opportunity in therapeutic acute wound care and the big opportunity we have there, we've decided that the best use of our resources is to build that market.
Yes, Chris, I can. Good to hear from you.
Speaker Change: So, what we've done is we have made a decision to pause suspending.
Speaker Change: Resel is not reimbursed for a bit like of their only in the hospital [inaudible]
and as a consequence, Williams.
of our expanded opportunity in therapeutic to acute wound care.
Speaker Change: and the bigger, in the big opportunity we have there, we've decided that the best use of our resources is to build that market.
James Corbett: So as of now, we don't have a plan that we can define. for solving for solving dental LIGO. And so we don't have a plan that we can define. And therefore, we've suspended spending as a consequence until we. Identify a Path. Urspan Agencies. I'm sorry. And that would include ongoing discussions that have now been suspended with reimbursement agencies. Since we talked with them on other reimbursement matters, we'll be talking to them about this.
Speaker Change: So, as of now, we don't have a plan that we can define.
for solving, for solving it a lot ago.
Speaker Change: and so we don't have a plan that we can define and therefore we suspended spending as a consequence until we
Identify a path
Chris Callis: Reimbursement agencies?
Jim Corbett: I'm sorry?
Chris Penagencies,
Chris Callis: That would include ongoing discussions that have now been suspended with reimbursement agencies?
I'm sorry.
Speaker Change: and that would include ongoing discussions that have now been suspended with reimbursement agencies.
Jim Corbett: Since we talked with them on other reimbursement matters, we'll be talking to them about this. It's not an absolute zero, but I'd say that there should be no revenue dependence in any future estimates for the company on vitiligo until we come forth with some defined plan.
Since we talked with them on other reimbursement matters,
Chris Kallos: So it's not an absolute zero, but I'd say that there should be no revenue dependence in any future estimates for the company on vitiligo until we come forth with some defined plan.

Speaker Change: We'll be talking to them about this, so it's not an absolute zero, but I'd say that there should be no revenue dependence in any future estimates for the company I'm going to lie to until we come forth with some defined plan.
