Anshul Maheshwari: For the full year 2025, net loss narrowed by 38.8% to $18.9 million or $0.44 per diluted share. We delivered positive Adjusted EBITDA of $5.1 million in the Q4, a 176.2% improvement over the prior year. Our 9.1% Adjusted EBITDA margin in the Q4 highlights the scalability of our infrastructure. Adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2025 was positive $8.9 million, compared to $5.1 million of Adjusted EBITDA loss in 2024, representing approximately $14 million improvement. Turning to liquidity. We exited 2025 with $147.8 million in cash and equivalents. This was an increase of $2.1 million from the Q3.

Speaker #2: Our 9.1% adjusted EBITDA margin in the fourth quarter highlights the scalability of our infrastructure. Adjusted EBITDA for the full-year 2025 was positive 8.9 million, compared to 5.1 million of adjusted EBITDA loss in 2024, representing approximately 14 million improvement.

Speaker #2: Turning to liquidity, we exited 2025 with $147.8 million in cash and equivalents. This was an increase of $2.1 million from the third quarter. The fourth quarter was our second consecutive quarter of positive cash flow from operating activities, and the first quarter in which we generated free cash flow.

Anshul Maheshwari: The Q4 was a second consecutive quarter of positive cash flow from operating activities and the Q1 in which we generated free cash flow. We generated nearly $0.5 million in net free cash flow in the Q4. This was well ahead of our previously stated goal to achieve free cash flow at some point in 2026. For the full year 2025, our cash consumption was just $2.2 million, compared to $16 million in cash consumption in 2024. This significant improvement, achieved while continuing to invest in surgical capacity, reflects our disciplined working capital management and our highly efficient asset-light business model. Our robust liquidity position, consistent profitability, and recent cash flow inflection positions us to self-fund revenue-accelerating investments in platform technologies targeting new addressable markets. Finally, moving to our outlook for 2026.

Speaker #2: We generated nearly half a million dollars in net free cash flow in the fourth quarter. This was well ahead of our previously stated goal to achieve free cash flow at some point in 2026.

Speaker #2: For the full-year 2025, our cash consumption was just $2.2 million, compared to $16 million in cash consumption in 2024. This significant improvement achieved while continuing to invest in surgical capacity reflects our disciplined working capital management and our highly efficient asset-light business model.

Speaker #2: Our robust liquidity position, consistent profitability, and recent cash flow inflection position us to self-fund revenue-accelerating investments in platform technologies targeting new addressable markets.

Speaker #2: Finally, moving to our outlook for 2026, in 2026, we expect worldwide revenue of $228.5 million to $232.5 million, implying year-over-year growth of 14 to 16 percent.

Anshul Maheshwari: In 2026, we expect worldwide revenue of $228.5 million to $232.5 million, implying year-over-year growth of 14% to 16%, driven by high teens growth in US procedure volume. Our guidance also assumes revenue growth to be weighted towards the second half of the year, as we expect the tailwinds that Laura highlighted to increasingly benefit the business as we progress through the year. Consistent with our guidance philosophy, we believe it's prudent to allow these tailwinds to materialize before we fully incorporate them into our expectations. Based on the revenue assumptions, we expect 2026 annual gross margin to be approximately 78%.

Speaker #2: Driven by high teams growth in US procedure volume. Our guidance also assumes revenue growth to be weighted towards the second half of the year, as we expect the tailwinds that Laura highlighted to increasingly benefit the business as we progress through the year.

Speaker #2: Consistent with our guidance philosophy, we believe it's prudent to allow these tailwinds to materialize before we fully incorporate them into our expectations. Based on the revenue assumptions, we expect 2026 annual gross margin to be approximately 78%.

Speaker #2: We expect annual operating expenses to grow 12.5% at the midpoint of the revenue range, allowing us to fund key growth initiatives, including new product launch activity, planned Salesforce expansion, and pipeline development that we expect to commercialize in 2027 and beyond.

Anshul Maheshwari: We expect annual operating expenses to grow 12.5% at the midpoint of the revenue range, allowing us to fund key growth initiatives, including new product launch activity, planned sales force expansion, and pipeline development that we expect to commercialize in 2027 and beyond. Importantly, in 2026, based on the operating leverage inherent in our model, we will deliver increased Adjusted EBITDA compared to the prior year and remain firmly on track to deliver on our free cash flow commitment. With that, I will turn the call over to Laura.

Speaker #2: Importantly, in 2026, based on the operating leverage inherent in our model, we will deliver increased adjusted EBITDA compared to the prior year, and remain firmly on track to deliver on our free cash flow commitments.

Speaker #2: With that, I will turn the call over to Laura.

Speaker #1: Thanks, Anshul. I want to congratulate my colleagues for record performance across revenue, procedure engagement, and profitability. You are our most valuable asset, and I want to thank you for your commitment and contributions, which have helped tens of thousands of patients this year improve their lives.

Laura Francis: Thanks, Anshul. I want to congratulate my colleagues for record performance across revenue, physician engagement, and profitability. You are our most valuable asset, and I want to thank you for your commitment and contributions, which have helped tens of thousands of patients this year improve their lives. As we look ahead, I'm excited about the momentum we're carrying into 2026. With a strong foundation, a robust pipeline of innovative products, and expanding market opportunities, we're well positioned to deliver another impactful year. With that, we're happy to answer your questions. Operator?

Speaker #1: As we look ahead, I'm excited about the momentum we're carrying into 2026. With a strong foundation, a robust pipeline of innovative products, and expanding market opportunities, we're well positioned to deliver another impactful year.

Speaker #1: With that, we're happy to answer your questions. Operator?

Speaker #3: Certainly, and our first question for today, comes from the line of Patrick Wood from Morgan Stanley. Your question, please.

Operator: Certainly, our first question for today comes from the line of Patrick Wood from Morgan Stanley. Your question, please.

Speaker #4: Amazing. Thanks so much for taking the questions. I'll just do two quick ones. The first one on the Smith & Nephew partnership—how did that come about?

Patrick Wood: Amazing. Thanks so much for taking the questions. I'll just do two quick ones. The first one on the Smith & Nephew partnership, like, how did that come about? How are you thinking about the potential contribution for that, and did we factor any of that into the guide?

Speaker #4: How are you thinking about the potential contribution for that? And did we factor any of that into the guide?

Speaker #1: Hi, Patrick. It's Laura. Thank you so much for the question. We are really excited about the partnership with Smith & Nephew. And as you know, over the last few years, we've actually successfully deployed a hybrid sales model, and it's really been a key contributor as we expanded access to our solutions and it also translated into significant territory productivity gains as well.

Laura Francis: Hi, Patrick, it's Laura. Thank you so much for the question. We are really excited about the partnership with Smith & Nephew. You know, as, as you know, over the last few years, we've actually successfully deployed a hybrid sales model, it's really been a key contributor as we expanded access to our solutions, it also translated into significant territory productivity gains as well. What we did is, building on that experience, we are announcing that partnership with Smith & Nephew. We understood that they had a very significant footprint on the trauma side, we have particular strengths, and wanna focus our team on spine and on interventional. We had talked about this on our last couple of earnings calls, that we were looking at large strategic distribution partnerships, we're very excited that this one came to fruition.

Speaker #1: So, what we did is, building on that experience, we are announcing that partnership with Smith & Nephew. We understood that they had a very significant footprint on the trauma side, and we have particular strengths and want to focus our team on spine and on interventional.

Speaker #1: And so we had talked about this on our last couple of earnings calls that we were looking at large strategic distribution partnerships. And we're very excited that this one came to fruition.

Speaker #1: In terms of the partnership itself, it covers level one, level two trauma centers, and it's going to allow trauma surgeons to get access to our trauma solutions and to treat these patients that have sacral insufficiency fractures.

Laura Francis: In terms of the partnership itself, it covers level one and level two trauma centers, and it's gonna allow trauma surgeons to get access to our trauma solutions and to treat these patients that have sacral insufficiency fractures. Really, for both of us, it's a win-win situation, gives a large number of trauma surgeons working with Smith+Nephew access to our breakthrough technology. We do believe that it will become a standard of care for treating pelvic fractures, similar to what we did with Granite and pelvic fixation. As I said, it also frees up our direct sales force to focus more on market development and physician engagement with spine surgeons as well as interventionalists, especially given our march toward commercializing new products this year as well.

Speaker #1: So really, for both of us, it's a win-win situation. It gives a large number of trauma surgeons working with Smith & Nephew access to our breakthrough technology, and we do believe that it'll become a standard of care for treating pelvic fractures similar to what we did with Granite and pelvic fixation.

Speaker #1: And as I said, it also frees up our direct sales force to focus more on market development and positioning engagement with spine surgeons, as well as interventionalists.

Speaker #1: And especially given our march toward commercializing new products this year as well.

Speaker #4: And then, Patrick, on your question on what's included in the guide, as we shared in our prepared remarks, trauma was a nice growth driver for us last year.

Anshul Maheshwari: Patrick, on your question on whether what's included in the guide, as we shared in our prepared remarks, trauma was a nice growth driver for us last year. It's still year one into its launch, and we saw a 50% increase in the number of physicians actually using our solution. So really excited about what this partnership can do in terms of expanding the access of our platform to these level one, level two trauma sites. It's too early. We just signed the agreement. We wanna see how it seasons and matures as we go through the year. We'll be sharing more as we go through the year on the impact it's having on the business.

Speaker #4: It's still year one into its launch, and we saw a 50% increase in the number of physicians actually using our solution. So really excited about what this partnership can do in terms of expanding the access of our platform to these level one, level two trauma sites.

Speaker #4: But it's too early. We just signed the agreement. We want to see how it seasons and matures as we go through the year. And we'll be sharing more as we go through the year on the impact it's having on the business.

Speaker #3: Too powerful. And then, just as a quick follow-up, you guys now have a clear clinical data set showing that the IPM physicians are getting very similar clinical outcomes to the direct surgeons on that side.

Patrick Wood: Super powerful. Just as a quick follow-up, you know, you guys now have a clear clinical data set showing that, you know, the IPM physicians, you know, are getting very similar clinical outcomes to, to the direct surgeons on that side. Do you think that helps sort of create more engagement on that side? Do you think the mix changes over time, or should we see a similar mix of physicians being onboarded?

Speaker #3: Do you think that helps sort of create more engagement on that side? Do you think the mix changes over time, or should we see a similar mix of physicians being onboarded?

Speaker #1: So I think what you're asking is the opportunity that we have with interventional in SI joint fusion. And as you can see with the launch of our intra, product, it shows the dedication that we're making to the interventional physicians.

Laura Francis: I, I think what you're asking is the opportunity that we have with interventional in SI joint fusion. As you can see with the launch of our iFuse INTRA product, it, it, it shows the, the dedication that we're making to the interventional physicians. Also, you mentioned clinical data. Our STACI study was recently published and showed the efficacy of our iFuse TORQ product used by interventionalists. You know, it shows that they are able to perform these cases and have the same sorts of outcomes that we've seen in our other prospective studies, as well as randomized controlled trials. Yeah, as, as you can tell, we're really leaning into our work with interventionalists. We're seeing significant growth in our interventional business, and our IntraTi product really rounds out our SI joint fusion portfolio.

Speaker #1: Also, you mentioned clinical data, as Stacey's study was recently published and showed the efficacy of our TORC product. Used by interventionalists, and it shows that they are able to perform these cases.

Speaker #1: And have the same sorts of outcomes that we've seen in our other prospective studies as well as randomized controlled trials. But yeah, as you can tell, we're really leaning into our work with interventionalists.

Speaker #1: We're seeing significant growth in our interventional business, and our intra-TI product really rounds out our SI joint fusion portfolio. It's going to allow physicians to use iFuse regardless of their preferred approach and implant type to fuse the SI joint.

Laura Francis: It's gonna allow physicians to use iFuse regardless of their preferred approach and implant type to fuse the SI joint. In this particular case, IntraTi is a posterior metal implant with piercing features. It qualifies for CPT 27279, which is clearly covered at all sites of service. The posterior approach really aligns with interventional spine physicians' preferred workflow. We have a streamlined single-use instrument kit, and it's gonna allow us to drive procedural efficiency, specifically in the ambulatory surgery center site of service.

Speaker #1: So, in this particular case, intra-TI, it's a posterior metal implant with piercing features. It qualifies for CPT 27279, which is clearly covered at all sites of service.

Speaker #1: And also, the posterior approach really aligns with interventional spine physicians' preferred workflow. And we have a streamlined, single-use instrument kit, and it's going to allow us to drive procedural efficiency, specifically in the ambulatory surgery center site of service.

Speaker #1: So we're excited about the opportunity with Interventional and with our suite of products, which includes TORC and Intra, as well as Intra-TI.

Patrick Wood: Go ahead.

Laura Francis: We're, we're excited about, about the opportunity with interventional and with our suite of products, which includes TORQ and Intra, as well as IntraTi.

Speaker #4: Nice. Thanks, Laura. Thanks, Anshul.

Patrick Wood: Nice. Thanks, Laura. Thanks, Anshul.

Speaker #1: Thanks, Patrick.

Laura Francis: Thanks, Patrick.

Speaker #3: Thank you. And our next question comes from the line of Matthew Blackman from TD Cowen. Your question, please.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Mathew Blackman from TD Cowen. Your question, please.

Mathew Blackman: Good afternoon, everybody. Can you hear me okay?

Speaker #5: Good afternoon, everybody. Can you hear me okay?

Mathew Blackman: Good afternoon, everybody. Can you hear me okay?

Speaker #1: Yes.

Laura Francis: Yes.

Speaker #5: Great. I appreciate you taking my questions. I've got two—excuse me—maybe, Anshul, starting with you. If I'm backing into your adjusted EBITDA from some of the commentary—some assumptions on stock-based comp and maybe a little bit of math—it seems like you're guiding to somewhere north of $20 million.

Mathew Blackman: Great. Appreciate you taking my questions. Excuse me. Maybe Anshul, starting with you, if I'm backing into your Adjusted EBITDA from some of the commentary, some assumptions on stock-based comp and maybe a little bit of math, it seems like you're guiding to somewhere north of $20 million for EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA in 2026. The first question is, is that right? Am I doing that math right? Any help there will be appreciated, and then I've got one follow-up.

Speaker #5: For EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA in 2026. So the first question is, is that right? Am I doing that math right? Any help there would be appreciated.

Speaker #5: And then I've got one follow-up.

Speaker #4: Yeah, thanks for that question. So, the way we've talked about it externally is if you look at our growth rate for the year from a guidance perspective, it's around between 14 and 16%, gross margins of 78%.

Anshul Maheshwari: Yeah, thanks for that question. The way we've talked about it externally is, you know, if you look at our growth rate for the year from a guidance perspective, it's around between 14% and 16%, gross margins of 78%, and OpEx growth of 12.5%. Rough math, that would imply operating leverage for 2026 being at 1.2x. There are 3 reasons for the operating leverage to be at 1.2x this year, is we've got 2 new products that we wanna look to commercialize this year. We're making investments in potentially putting out TNT in Europe as well in 2026. You got a lot of training and commercial activity that goes on to drive the adoption of the technologies, that's number 1. Number 2 is we are investing in expanding our commercial infrastructure.

Speaker #4: And OPEX growth of 12.5%. So, rough math, that would imply operating leverage for 2026 being at 1.2 times. And there are three reasons for the operating leverage to be at 1.2 times this year.

Speaker #4: We've got two new products that we want to look to commercialize this year. We're making investments in potentially putting out TNT in Europe as well in 2026.

Speaker #4: So, you've got a lot of training and commercial activity that goes on to drive the adoption of the technologies—that's number one. Number two is, we are investing in expanding our commercial infrastructure.

Speaker #4: So as we've shared in our prepared remarks, we want to add 10 more territories part of that is in anticipation of these new product launches and making sure we can maximize the opportunity ahead of us.

Anshul Maheshwari: As we've shared in our prepared remarks, we want to add 10 more territories. Part of that is in anticipation of these new product launches and making sure we can maximize the opportunity ahead of us. Indexing on R&D again, growth remains a key priority for us. Laura's talked about a regular cadence of product launches that will happen between now and 2030, so we're really indexing heavily on the R&D side as well. On the Adjusted EBITDA side, what we've said is, we expect it to be an increase from prior year. We're not being very specific, but if you did the math, it would come not at $20 million, but a bit lighter than that.

Speaker #4: And then, indexing on R&D again, growth remains a key priority for us. Laura's talked about a regular cadence of product launches that will happen between now and 2030.

Speaker #4: So, we're really indexing heavily on the R&D side as well. And on the adjusted EBITDA side, what we've said is we expect it to be an increase from the prior year.

Speaker #4: We're now being very specific. But if you did the math, it would come not at 20 million, but a bit lighter than that.

Speaker #5: Okay. I appreciate that. And then my follow-up is on intra-TI. And just thinking about its ASC-centric nature, how should we think about or should we think about a possible halo effect from intra-TI that perhaps pulls through more of the portfolio in that setting as the product ramps over the next couple of years?

Mathew Blackman: Okay. I, I appreciate that. Then my follow-up is on IntraTi, and just thinking about its ASC-centric nature, how should we think about, or should we think about a, a possible halo effect, from IntraTi that perhaps pulls through more of the portfolio in that setting as the product, you know, ramps over the next couple of years? Thanks.

Speaker #5: Thanks.

Speaker #1: Yeah. I think it's a good question that you're asking because it really is targeted toward the ambulatory surgery center. I did talk about how it really fits well with the interventional spine physician preferred workflow and typically those cases are done at the ambulatory surgery center.

Laura Francis: Yeah, I think it's a good question that you're asking, because it, it really is targeted toward the ambulatory surgery center. I did talk about how it, it really fits well with the interventional spine physician-preferred workflow, and typically, those cases are done at the ambulatory surgery center. It is also true that many of our spine surgeons also are working at ASCs too. We, we do think it's important in terms of continuing to see the growth that we would expect in our SI joint fusion part of the business. Just a little more information on it, is a 3D-printed titanium solution. It has a similar workflow to our allograft solution. As I said previously, it is reimbursed under CPT 27279, which has nationwide coverage.

Speaker #1: But it is also true that many of our spine surgeons also are working at ASCs too. And so we do think it's important in terms of continuing to see the growth that we would expect in our SI joint fusion part of the business.

Speaker #1: So just a little more information on it: it is a 3D-printed titanium solution. It has a similar workflow to our allograft solution. And as I said previously, it is reimbursed under CPT 27279, which has nationwide coverage.

Laura Francis: In, in terms of revenue impact, I'd, I'd say that it expands the market in a couple of ways. It provides interventional spine physicians with a product similar to our IntraX workflow, but there are 22 states where allograft solutions are not reimbursed, we think that it's gonna be an important solution for the physicians that are there. There's also a subset of interventionalists who prefer a non-allograft solution that's delivered in a posterior approach. IntraTi is, is allowing us to, to serve those particular physicians. What I think what's most important is that we have a full suite of products for SI joint fusion.

Speaker #1: So in terms of revenue impact, I'd say that it expands the market in a couple of ways. It provides interventional spine physicians with a product similar to our intra-X workflow.

Speaker #1: But there are 22 states where allograft solutions are not reimbursed, and so we think that it's going to be an important solution for the physicians that are there.

Speaker #1: And then there's also a subset of interventionalists who prefer a non-allograft solution. That's delivered in a posterior approach. So intra-TI is allowing us to serve those particular physicians.

Speaker #1: But I think what's most important is that we have a full suite of products for SI joint fusion. So with TORC, Intra-X, iFuse 3D, and now Intra-TI, we have a setup to continue to lead the market both with spine surgeons as well as interventional physicians as well.

Laura Francis: With iFuse TORQ, IntraX, iFuse 3D, and now IntraTi, we have a setup to continue to lead the market, both with spine surgeons as well as interventional physicians as well. Maybe the final thing I would say is that we, we still are in alpha launch right now, so we expect an adoption ramp and, you know, we, we expect to see progress through the year and into the back half of 2026 for that particular product.

Speaker #1: And maybe the final thing I would say is that we still are in alpha launch right now. So we expect an adoption ramp and we expect to see progress through the year.

Speaker #1: And into the back half of 2026 for that particular product.

Speaker #5: All right. Much appreciated. Thank you.

Mathew Blackman: All right. Much appreciated. Thank you.

Speaker #1: Thank you.

Laura Francis: Thank you.

Speaker #3: Thank you. And our next question comes from the line of Travis Diet from BofA Securities. Your question, please.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Travis Steed from BofA Securities. Your question, please.

Travis Steed: Hey, thanks for the good question. I wanted to ask more on the cadence on revenue. You mentioned second half, a little bit more weighted. Any color on kind of how you would titrate Q1 and if you'd kind of quantify some of the tailwinds and benefit in the second half?

Speaker #6: Hey, thanks for that good question. I wanted to ask more about the cadence of revenue. You mentioned the second half being a little bit more weighted.

Speaker #6: Any color on how you would titrate Q1 and if you'd kind of quantify some of the tailwinds and benefiting the second half?

Speaker #4: Yeah, Travis, happy to take the question. So look, coming into 2026, I think we have more tailwinds in the business than we've ever had before.

Anshul Maheshwari: Yeah, Travis, happy to take the question. Look, coming into 2026, I think we have more tailwinds in the business than we've ever had before. If you look at the physician base that we entered the year with, we exited 2025 with over 1,640 active physicians, so that's a pretty formidable physician base. You've got the improved reimbursement backdrop that Laura's talked about, whether it's the NTAP for TNT, the TPT for Granite, the increase in OBL fees for SI joint dysfunction. You've got the IntraTi product that just launched. You've got the second BDD product that we're looking to commercialize, potentially, in late 2026. Then you've got the commercial expansion, both direct as well as the strategic partnership. A lot of tailwinds coming into the business.

Speaker #4: If you look at the physician base that we entered the year with, we exited 2025 with over 1,640 active physicians. So that's a pretty formidable physician base.

Speaker #4: You've got the improved reimbursement backdrop that Laura's talked about, whether it's the NTAP for TNT, the TPT for granite, the increase in OBL fees for SI joint dysfunction.

Speaker #4: You've got the intra-TI product that we just launched. You've got the second BDD product that we're looking to commercialize, potentially in late 2026. And then you've got the commercial expansion, both direct as well as the strategic partnership.

Speaker #4: So, a lot of tailwinds coming into the business. Now, we do think about our business on an annual basis, and increasingly in a multi-year cycle basis.

Anshul Maheshwari: Now, you know, we do think about our business on an annual basis and increasingly on a multiyear cycle basis, so we don't really provide quarterly guidance. You know, as you know, at our scale, the cadence of the business can vary based on the timing and scale of new product launches, and how they get commercialized, especially through this new commercial model, the hybrid commercial model. For modeling purposes, we're expecting the revenue growth to be back-half weighted, so we can see all of these tailwinds starting to materialize and incorporate them in our guidance.

Speaker #4: So we don't really provide quarterly guidance. And as you know, at our scale, the cadence of the business can vary based on the timing and scale of new product launches.

Speaker #4: And how they get commercialized, especially through this new commercial model, the hybrid commercial model. So for modeling purposes, we're expecting the revenue growth to be back half weighted.

Speaker #4: So we can see all of these tailwinds starting to materialize. And incorporate them in our guidance.

Speaker #6: Okay, helpful. And I think earlier in the prepared remarks you mentioned an innovation super cycle over the next five years. Should we think about that as kind of sustaining the long-term growth rate?

Travis Steed: Okay, helpful. I think earlier in the prepared remarks, you mentioned an innovation super cycle over the next five years. Like, should we think about that as kind of sustaining the long-term growth rate, or is there a potential that this company is actually growing faster, you know, over the next five years than it, than it has been over the last five years?

Speaker #6: Or is there a potential that this company is actually growing faster over the next five years than it has been over the last five years?

Speaker #1: Yeah, thanks for that question, Travis. And if you think about it, since our IPO, we've been delivering average revenue growth of around 20%. And we've been doing that through developing these innovative solutions and addressing failures of incumbent standard of care.

Laura Francis: Yeah, thanks for that question, Travis. If you think about since our IPO, we've been delivering average revenue growth of around 20%, and we've been doing that through developing these innovative solutions and, you know, addressing failures of incumbent standard of care. You know, as we look at applications in compromised bone, we're looking at markets that have these higher weighted average market growth rates because of these unmet clinical needs in the space. Our technologies have gone on to become category leaders. We're in, whether it's SI joint fusion or whether it's pelvic fixation or now in pelvic trauma, it's allowing us to grow multiple times at the broader market growth rates in spine and interventional.

Speaker #1: So as we look at applications and compromised bone, we're looking at markets that have these higher weighted average market growth rates because of these unmet clinical needs in the space.

Speaker #1: And our technologies have gone on to become category leaders. So we're in—whether it's SI joint fusion, or whether it's pelvic fixation, or now in pelvic trauma—it's allowing us to grow multiple times at the broader market growth rates in spine and interventional.

Speaker #1: So as we think about developing these various platform technologies, they are meaningful expanding the total addressable market across various new disease states. But very specifically targeted towards spine and interventional, which is really important to us in terms of focus.

Laura Francis: As we think about developing these various platform technologies, they are meaningfully expanding the total addressable market across various new disease states, but very specifically targeted towards spine and interventional, which is really important to us in terms of focus. Looking ahead, over the next 5 years, we had used that term innovation super cycle, and we think that's the right way to, to think about it. We're going to be regularly launching a cadence of, of products, but they're gonna be these unique technologies, and they're gonna be targeting these new clinical adjacencies that focus on spine and interventional. It really, first of all, takes these core competencies that we've developed in the business to address issues with compromised bone, but then also to lead the space for the long term.

Speaker #1: But looking ahead, over the next five years, we had used that term 'innovation super cycle.' And we think that's the right way to think about it.

Speaker #1: We're going to be regularly launching a cadence of products, but they're going to be these unique technologies. And they're going to be targeting these new clinical adjacencies that focus on spine and interventional.

Speaker #1: And it really first of all takes these core competencies that we've developed in the business to address issues with compromised bone. But then also to lead the space for the long term.

Anshul Maheshwari: Great. Thanks a lot.

Speaker #6: Great. Thanks a lot.

Speaker #3: Thank you. And our next question comes from the line of Matthew O'Brien from Piper Sandler. Your question, please.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Matthew O'Brien from Piper Sandler. Your question, please.

Speaker #7: Hi there. This is Ana on from Matt. Thanks for taking the questions. I wanted to start with one on the guide. I mean, it seems like you guys have a ton of tailwinds throughout the year.

[Analyst] (Piper Sandler): Hi there. This is Anna on for Matt. Thanks for taking the questions. I wanted to start with one on the guide. I mean, it seems like you guys have a ton of tailwinds, you know, throughout the year, but you're baking in sort of a 500 basis point sequential slowdown versus last year. Just wondering if there's anything specific to call out on areas for upside. It seems like there's, there's a lot of areas for things to move higher. Yeah.

Speaker #7: But you're baking in sort of a 500-basis-point sequential slowdown versus last year. So just wondering if there's anything specific to call out on areas for upside.

Speaker #7: It seems like there's a lot of areas for things to move higher. So yeah.

Speaker #4: Yeah. So happy to take that, Ana. In terms of potential areas for upside, you're right. We've got a lot of tailwinds in the business.

Anshul Maheshwari: Yeah. Happy to take that, Anna. In terms of potential areas for upside, you're right, we got a lot of tailwinds in the business. The way I would categorize it is, if you look at our base guidance, assumes high teens growth in procedure volume and sort of a degradation in ASP, mostly driven by the mix in procedures. Some of the deformity and trauma procedures use fewer implants, so the ASP tends to be lower. What we've been able to do in the last few years is actually offset that ASP pressure with continued growth on the deformity side and the SI joint dysfunction side as well. Just simplistically, maintaining that discipline and execution focus should provide some upside on the ASP. That's number one.

Speaker #4: And the way I would categorize it is if you look at our base guidance, it assumes high teens growth in procedure volume. And sort of a degradation in ASB, mostly driven by the mix in procedures.

Speaker #4: Some of the deformity and trauma procedures use fewer implants of the ASB tends to be lower. And what we've been able to do in the last few years is actually offset that ASB pressure with continued growth on the deformity side.

Speaker #4: And the SI joint dysfunction side, as well. So just simplistically, maintaining that discipline and execution focus should provide some upside on the ASB. That's number one.

Speaker #4: And then you get into the potential ramp expectations of intra-TI, the continued acceleration of intra-X. And also this partnership with Smith & Nephew, which will continue to evolve as we progress through the first half of the year.

Anshul Maheshwari: Then you get into the potential ramp expectations of IntraTi, the continued acceleration of InterAX, and also this partnership with Smith & Nephew, which will continue to evolve as we progress through the first half of the year. That also gives us a lot of confidence in the continued ramp in the business as we progress through the year, and more importantly, that ramp continuing into 2027, especially as when you incorporate the rollout of TNT in Europe at some point in 2026, the potential impact of our ability to commercialize the third breakthrough device at the end of 2026, which would be a material impact in 2027.

Speaker #4: So that also gives us a lot of confidence in the continued ramp in the business as we progress through the year. And more importantly, that ramp continuing into 2027, especially when you incorporate the rollout of TNT in Europe at some point in 2026, the potential impact of our ability to commercialize the third breakthrough device at the end of 2026, which would be a material impact in ’27.

Speaker #7: Super helpful. And then I guess just, again, on the new intra-TI product for the ASC, I was wondering if you could give a bit more color on what your presence in the ASC is today, what you size that opportunity as, and how long it'll take to really penetrate that market.

[Analyst] (Piper Sandler): Super helpful. I guess just again on, on the new IntraTi product for the ASC, I was wondering if you could give a bit more color on, you know, what your presence in the ASC is today, what you size that opportunity as, and how long it'll take to really penetrate that market.

Speaker #1: Yeah. I can help out on that. So I've been the CEO for five years of the company. Five years ago, virtually none of our sales were in the ASC.

Laura Francis: Yeah, I can, I can help out on that. I, I've, I've been the CEO for 5 years of the company. 5 years ago, virtually none of our sales were in the ASC, and today, around 35% of our SI joint fusion sales are in the ASC. We do have a significant footprint there already. I think the point you're trying to make is that with this new product, IntraTi, that it's going to provide another opportunity for us to grow the business overall, and that a significant amount of that growth should be seen in the ASC.

Speaker #1: And today, around 35% of our SI joint fusions sales are in the ASC. So we do have a significant footprint there already. But I think the points you're trying to make is that with this new product intra-TI, that it's going to provide another opportunity for us to grow the business overall.

Speaker #1: And that a significant amount of that growth should be seen in the ASC. And just given the nature of the product, the single-use system that we have, the simplicity of it, it's really set up perfectly in order to grow overall in the SI joint fusion market and to drive additional sales to the ASC.

Laura Francis: Just given the nature of the product, the single-use system that we have, the simplicity of it, it's really set up perfectly in order to grow overall in the SI joint fusion market and to drive additional sales to the ASC.

Speaker #7: Great. Thanks so much.

[Analyst] (Piper Sandler): Great. Thanks so much.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Caitlin Cronin from Canaccord Genuity. Your question, please.

Speaker #3: Thank you. And our next question comes from the line of Kathleen Roberts from Canaccord Genuity. Your question, please.

[Analyst] (Canaccord Genuity): Hi, thanks so much for taking the questions, and congrats on the quarter. Just to talk about the commercial expansion, the direct commercial expansion, as you think about adding these new territories and, you know, the focus on growing the outpatient business, you're just touching on the ASC, how are you thinking about, you know, strategically adding these territories?

Caitlin Cronin: Hi, thanks so much for taking the questions, and congrats on the quarter. Just to talk about the commercial expansion, the direct commercial expansion, as you think about adding these new territories and, you know, the focus on growing the outpatient business, you're just touching on the ASC, how are you thinking about, you know, strategically adding these territories?

Speaker #8: Hi. Thanks so much for taking the questions. And congrats on the quarter. Just to talk about the commercial expansion, the direct commercial expansion, as you think about adding these new territories and the focus on growing the outpatient business, we were just touching on the ASC, how are you thinking about strategically adding these territories?

Speaker #1: Yeah. I mean, what we do obviously, we have quite a bit of information already on the opportunities that we have there. And so you identify where your targets actually are.

Laura Francis: Yeah, I mean, what we do, obviously, we have quite a bit of information already on the opportunities that we have there. You identify where your targets actually are and where we're penetrated and where we're less penetrated. We're looking across the United States and addressing those areas where we have a significant opportunity, and it could be on the spine side, or it could be on the interventional side, and then you add accordingly in terms of territory managers in those particular locations. In addition, in around half of our cases, we actually will split a territory where the more junior territory rep is promoted to a territory manager. On around 50% of the cases, we're typically promoting somebody into that level, and another 50% we're actually hiring from the outside.

Speaker #1: And where we're penetrated and where we're less penetrated. So what we're doing is we're looking across the United States. And addressing those areas where we have a significant opportunity.

Speaker #1: And it could be on the spine side. Or it could be on the interventional side. And then you add accordingly in terms of territory managers in those particular locations.

Speaker #1: In addition, in around half of our cases, we actually will split a territory, where the more junior territory rep is promoted to a territory manager.

Speaker #1: So, in around 50% of the cases, we're typically promoting somebody into that level, and in another 50%, we're actually hiring from the outside. But we do have very significant opportunities across the portfolio to continue to grow and expand. We've gotten very significant leverage through our hybrid sales model with the addition of third-party agents.

Laura Francis: We do have very significant opportunities across the portfolio to continue to grow and expand. We've gotten very significant leverage through our hybrid sales model. With the addition of third-party agents, we have over 300 of them just in the US alone. There is a balance between growing your direct sales force and then supplementing it with hybrid, and we think that we're striking the right balance by adding 10 more territories in 2026 to capture the opportunity.

Speaker #1: We have over 300 of them. Just in the US alone. But there is a balance between growing your direct sales force and then supplementing it with hybrid.

Speaker #1: And we think that we're striking the right balance by adding 10 more territories in 2026 to capture the opportunity.

[Analyst] (Truist Securities): That's great. Just a quick one on the patent extension. Seems like it applies to your original, you know, Triangular iFuse implant. How much of your business would you say is that, you know, legacy segment?

Speaker #8: That's great. And actually, a quick one on the patent extension. Seems like it applies to your original triangular iFuse implants. How much of your business would you say is that legacy segment?

Caitlin Cronin: That's great. Just a quick one on the patent extension. Seems like it applies to your original, you know, Triangular iFuse implant. How much of your business would you say is that, you know, legacy segment?

Anshul Maheshwari: Caitlin, happy to take that. The legacy classic is barely any part of our business. I'd say it's less than 0.1%. At this point, majority of our SI joint business comes from TORQ, 3D, and now with the going into interventional allograft. Now we expect iFuse INTRA to be a bigger contributor to the business as a portfolio.

Speaker #4: Kathleen, happy to take that. The legacy classic is barely any part of our business, I'd say. It's less than 0.1% at this point. Majority of our SI joint business comes from pork, 3D, and now with the going into interventional, allograft, and now we expect intra-TI to be a bigger contributor to the business.

Speaker #4: As a portfolio.

Speaker #8: Understood. Thank you so much.

[Analyst] (Truist Securities): Understood. Thank you so much.

Caitlin Cronin: Understood. Thank you so much.

Speaker #3: Thank you. And our next question comes from the line of David Saxon from Needham & Company. Your question, please.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of David Saxon from Needham & Company. Your question, please.

Speaker #9: Great. Good afternoon, Lauren and Anshul. Thanks for taking my questions. I wanted to follow up on the Smith & Nephew partnership. Maybe you can talk about the cadence of how that partnership ramps up in 2026.

David Saxon: Great. Good afternoon, Laura and Aanchal. Thanks for taking my questions. I wanted to follow up on the Smith & Nephew partnership. Maybe you can talk about the cadence of how that partnership ramps up in 2026. You know, when do Smith & Nephew reps actually start carrying TORQ and TNT or, you know, those sets place? Is that a, like, a Q2 dynamic or can that start as early as March?

Speaker #9: When do Smith & Nephew reps actually start carrying torque and TNT, or are those sets placed? And then, is that a second-quarter dynamic, or can that start as early as March?

Speaker #1: Yeah. I can at least start to answer that question. I mean, we just signed the agreement last week. But we are already in discussions to train and place implants as well as instrument trays into the field as well.

Laura Francis: Yeah, I can at least start to answer that question. I mean, we just signed the agreement last week. We are already in discussions to train and place implants as well as instrument trays into the field as well. We're forming a joint steering committee between the two different companies. They're gonna meet on a weekly basis and really get into a lot of the details of the relationship. We do expect to start seeing some activity already in the month of March and then ramping up over the rest of the year.

Speaker #1: So we're forming a joint steering committee between the two different companies. They're going to meet on a weekly basis and really get into a lot of the details of the relationship.

Speaker #1: But we do expect to start seeing some activity already in the month of March, and then ramping up over the rest of the year.

Speaker #4: Yeah. And what I would say there, David, is just like when we put out a new product, we want to make sure we have the surgical capacity available to be able to support it.

Anshul Maheshwari: Yeah, what I would say there, David, is just like when we put out a new product, we wanna make sure we have the surgical capacity available to be able to support it. The expectation is you should see the capacity ramp in Q2 and Q3 in preparation for Q4, which tends to be the biggest quarter.

Speaker #4: And the expectation is you should see the capacity ramp in Q2 and Q3 in preparation for Q4, which tends to be the biggest quarter.

Speaker #9: Okay, that's helpful. Thanks for that. And then, Anshul, maybe sticking with you—so, gross margin guidance: 78%. Looking back, you've seen expansion to varying degrees over the last couple of years.

David Saxon: Okay, that's helpful. Thanks for that. Then, Aanchal, maybe sticking with you. Gross margin guidance, 78%. You know, looking back, you've, you've seen expansion to varying degrees over the last couple of years. I understand, you know, there's this product mix dynamic that you might be considering, but would love to just understand kind of the drivers of the, you know, 160 basis points of compression, you know, m- mix, pricing, ramping product launches, et cetera. Thanks so much.

Speaker #9: I understand there's this product mix dynamic that you might be considering, but would love to just understand the drivers of the 160 basis points of compression—mix, pricing, ramping product launches, etc.

Speaker #9: Thanks so much.

Speaker #4: Yeah. No. Happy to take that. On the gross margin side, again, look, really proud of how we've been able to address our gross margin.

Anshul Maheshwari: Yeah, no, happy to take that. On the gross margin side, again, look, really proud of how we've been able to address our gross margin. Obviously, we started the year in 2025, at 77% to 78%. We, we did much better than that, about 200 basis points higher. You know, as we get bigger, as the business scales, we're actually more focused on top line acceleration and operating profit dollars growth. For 2026, as we look at our guidance of 78% gross margin, we exited the year at about 79, so it's 100 basis points of gross margin impact. I'd put most of that is non-cash impact from depreciation. A lot of that's associated with the increase in surgical capacity.

Speaker #4: Obviously, we started the year in 2025 at 77 to 78 percent. We did much better than that about 200 basis points higher. And as we get bigger, as the business scales, we're actually more focused on top-line acceleration and operating profit dollars growth.

Speaker #4: So for 2026, as we look at our guidance of 78% gross margin, we exited the year at about 79. So it's 100 basis points of gross margin impact.

Speaker #4: I'd put most of that is non-cash impact from depreciation. A lot of that's associated with the increase in surgical capacity. So for example, as we're building out this Smith & Nephew distributorship, we're going to be putting out TNT trays.

Anshul Maheshwari: For example, as we're building out this Smith & Nephew distributorship, we're gonna be putting out TNT trays that support the volume of demand we see there. Granite continues to perform really well. We're gonna be putting capacity out there for that. Potentially, the new product that we want to commercialize towards the tail end of 2026, there's gonna be surgical capacity for that as well. ASP does have some pressure on gross margins, but we're offsetting them by some of the operational initiatives that we've been working on over the last 12 to 18 months to bring our own costs down. I'd say, by and large, a lot of the impact is non-cash. Look, like, like we've seen over the last couple of years, the investment in surgical capacity and the new products, that does drive meaningful acceleration in our revenue growth.

Speaker #4: That support the volume of demand we see there. Granite continues to perform really well. We're going to be putting capacity out there for that.

Speaker #4: Potentially, the new product that we want to commercialize towards the tail end of 2026 is going to be surgical capacity for that as well.

Speaker #4: ASB does have some pressure on gross margins, but we're offsetting them by some of the operational initiatives that we've been working on over the last 12 to 18 months to bring our own costs down.

Speaker #4: So, I'd say, by and large, a lot of the impact is non-cash. And look, like we've seen over the last couple of years, the investment in surgical capacity and the new products—that does drive meaningful acceleration in our revenue growth.

Speaker #4: And while it is driving some de minimis pressure on the gross margin side, it's allowed us to get significant leverage and profitable dollar expansion over the subsequent period.

Anshul Maheshwari: While it is driving some de minimis pressure on the gross margin side, it's allowed us to get significant leverage and profitable dollar expansion over the subsequent period. We feel really good about the setup and the balance we're striking.

Speaker #4: And so we feel really good about the setup and the balance we’re striking.

Speaker #9: Great. Appreciate that. Thanks so much.

David Saxon: Great, appreciate that. Thanks so much.

Speaker #3: Thank you. And our next question comes from the line of Richard Newitter from Truist Securities. Your question, please.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line, Richard Newitter from Truist Securities. Your question, please.

Speaker #10: Hi, this is Ravi here from Rich. Thanks for taking the questions. Congratulations on the promotions, everybody. I guess two on our end. First, on guidance.

[Analyst] (Truist Securities): Hi, this is Ravi here for Rich. Thanks for taking the questions. Congratulations on the promotions, everybody. I guess two on, on our end. First, on guidance, you're talking about kind of high teens, US volume growth, procedure weighted, and that, you know, that would represent a little bit of a step down versus what you did in 2025. I'd like to just kind of understand the rationale behind that outlook, given that you, you know, you have a little bit more of a focused sales force coming in that's growing. You have this partnership with Smith & Nephew that should help kind of lever each product set in the respective areas of the hospital, and you have a number of new product launches.

Speaker #10: You're talking about kind of high-teens US volume growth, procedure-weighted. And that would represent a little bit of a step down versus what you did in 2025.

Speaker #10: And I'd like to just kind of understand the rationale behind that outlook, given that you have a little bit more of a focused Salesforce coming in that's growing.

Speaker #10: You have this partnership with Smith & Nephew that should help kind of lever each product set in the respective areas of the hospital. And you have a number of new product launches.

Speaker #10: So just why was kind of high teams the right point for that? And then I have a follow-up.

[Analyst] (Truist Securities): Just why was kind of high teens the right point? Then I have a follow-up.

Speaker #4: Yeah, so Ravi, happy to take that. The first part of why it's high, teams, is you have to think about it from a comp perspective.

Anshul Maheshwari: Yeah. Ravi, happy to take that. The first, the first part of why it's high teens, it's, you have to think about it from a comp perspective. Some of the impact from new products is gonna happen as we progress through the years. If you look at 2025, Q1, Q2 continued to benefit from new product launches that had happened in late 2024. If you look at it on a stack basis, actually, you do see a much higher increase in procedure volume growth versus 2024. I, I'd say part of that is just the comps being the way they are. That's number 1.

Speaker #4: Some of the impact from new products is going to happen as we progress through the years. If you look at 2025, Q1, Q2 continue to benefit from new product launches that had happened in late 2024.

Speaker #4: If you look at it on a stack basis, actually, you do see a much higher increase in procedure volume growth versus 2024. So I'd say part of that is just the comps being the way they are.

Speaker #4: That's number one. Number two is, look, whenever you're putting out new products or expanding the impact of reimbursement coverage or commercial footprint expansion, we want to see how those play out before we start incorporating them in our guidance.

Anshul Maheshwari: Number two is, look, whenever you're putting out new products or expanding, the impact of reimbursement coverage or commercial footprint expansion, we want to see how those play out before we start incorporating them in our guidance. As you look at the rest of the year, you will see that impact happen more pronounced, but we think it's prudent early in the year to be thoughtful.

Speaker #4: So, as you look at the rest of the year, you will see that impact happen more pronounced. But we think it's prudent, early in the year, to be thoughtful.

Speaker #10: Great. And then I guess on another question on the Smith & Nephew partnership, can you help us understand what the incremental or the kind of marginal profit looks like for each dollar of sale transferred over to Smith & Nephew?

[Analyst] (Truist Securities): Great. Then I guess on the, another question on the, the Smith & Nephew partnership. Can you help us understand, you know, what the incremental or the kind of marginal profit looks like, for, you know, each $1 of sale transferred over to, to Smith & Nephew? Thanks.

Speaker #10: Thanks.

Speaker #4: Yeah. We're not going to break down what the relationship details are from that perspective for us. What's important with the Smith & Nephew relationship is, number one, getting a product in Level 1, Level 2 trauma sites at a national level.

Anshul Maheshwari: Yeah, we're not gonna break down what the, what the relationship details are from that perspective. For us, what's important with the Smith & Nephew relationship is, number 1, getting a product in level 1, level 2 trauma sites at a national level. Number 2, being able to satisfy the demand that we're seeing from the trauma physicians. Number 3, which is a natural offset of building this distribution partnership, is allowing our reps to be freed up, to continue to go build relationships, engage surgeons and interventionalists to drive that side of the business growth. It's a multifaceted impact versus just 1-off with what the impact Smith & Nephew will have on the P&L.

Speaker #4: Number two, being able to satisfy the demand that we're seeing from the trauma physicians; number three, which is a natural offset of building this distribution partnership, is allowing our reps to be freed up to continue to go build relationships, engage surgeons and interventionalists to drive that side of the business growth.

Speaker #4: So it's a multifaceted impact versus just one-off with what the impact Smith & Nephew will have on the P&L.

Speaker #3: Thank you. This does conclude the question-and-answer session of today's program. I'd like to hand the program back to Laura for any further remarks.

Operator: Thank you. This does conclude the question and answer session of today's program. I'd like to hand the program back to Lara for any further remarks.
