Speaker #4: Thanks, Sarah. And thanks again, everyone, for your time and attention today. As many of you know, this is my first time participating in a Perimeter investor call.

Abby Goodman: Thanks, Sara Brien. Thanks again, everyone, for your time and attention today. As many of you know, this is my first time participating in a Perimeter investor call. I know we have talked often in the past about how our goal in 2025 was to seed the market with our legacy S-Series OCT in order to create a strong network of early adopters and technology champions in preparation for potential FDA PMA approval and subsequent rollout of our next generation Claire OCT plus AI device. Though our commercial team has been and remains relatively lean and mean, it did achieve that goal, and the positive momentum we built throughout 2025 translated into strong recurring revenues in Q1 2026. This was despite our being in what can be best described as a transition period following the March 2026 FDA PMA approval of our next generation Claire device.

Speaker #4: Though our commercial team has been and remains relatively lean and mean, it did achieve that goal. And the positive momentum we built throughout 2025 translated into strong recurring revenues in the first quarter of 2026.

Abbey Goodman: Though our commercial team has been and remains relatively lean and mean, it did achieve that goal, and the positive momentum we built throughout 2025 translated into strong recurring revenues in Q1 2026.

Speaker #4: This was despite our being in what can best be described as a transition period following the March 2026 FDA PMA approval of our next-generation CLARE device.

Speaker #4: While I just described this as a typical transition phase between selling a legacy and a next-generation device, we are actually thinking about it more as an inflection point.

Abby Goodman: While I just described this as a typical transition phase between selling a legacy and a next generation device, we are actually thinking about it more as an inflection point, one that marks entering into what we believe will be a phase of rapid growth supported by potentially game-changing innovation. Since this is my inaugural Perimeter investor call, let me provide some color on our pipeline to help illustrate that. Today, at the top of our Claire sales funnel, there are close to 50 qualified leads. Of those, more than a dozen are currently classified as being within one of the prospecting, developing, validating, and contracting stages. There are two things I'd like to highlight here.

Speaker #4: Today, at the top of our CLARE sales funnel, there are close to 50 qualified leads. Of those, more than a dozen are currently classified as being within one of the prospecting, developing, validating, and contracting stages.

Speaker #4: There are two things I'd like to highlight here. First, our sales funnel consists of a mix of current legacy S series users looking to upgrade to CLARE at a higher per-procedure ASP due to the AI, and brand new users who are looking to use OCT in the operating room for the first time.

Abby Goodman: First, our sales funnel consists of a mix of current legacy S-Series users looking to upgrade to Claire at a higher per procedure ASP due to the AI, and brand new users who are looking to use OCT in the operating room for the first time. Second, it's important to note that we couldn't even talk with any potential Claire customers before we received FDA PMA approval for the technology at the beginning of March. We obviously can't guarantee all of the qualified leads, even those at the last contracting stage, will result in final installs before the end of the year, if ever. We believe reasonable assumptions and basic math drive our confidence that we will start to see commercial traction with Claire to grow in H2 of the year. We aren't relying on hope or probability models.

We aren't relying on hope or probability models.

Speaker #4: But we believe reasonable assumptions and basic math drive our confidence that we will start to see commercial traction with CLARE begin to grow in the second half of the year.

Speaker #4: We aren't relying on hope or probability models. We have taken the opportunity to plan out how to drive and support the next stages of our growth.

Abby Goodman: We have taken the opportunity to plan out how to drive and support the next stages of our growth. Today, we've organized geographically around a small handful regional sales hubs, and our commercial team consists of three groups of sales professionals. Market development folks who, as the title implies, are responsible for new capital sales and demand creation. Clinical sales specialists who own the account once Claire is installed and are primarily responsible for surgeon engagement and utilization ramp in their territory. Clinical application specialists who have primary OR case coverage. Like with many medtech companies, we aren't giving granular detail on the number of hubs, nor on the team size and/or makeup that service them. I can say that we expect to grow proactively and methodically expand our sales organization across the country as we grow. Thank you again for your time.

Speaker #4: I will now turn the call over to Adrian to wrap things up.

Abby Goodman: I will now turn the call over to Adrian to wrap things up.

Abbey Goodman: I will now turn the call over to Adrian to wrap things up.

Adrian Mendes: Thanks, Abby. All right, it's an exciting quarter. To summarize what you just heard, we saw yet another period of positive commercial traction driven by our legacy S-Series product, as demonstrated by our 14% recurring revenue growth in Q1. At the same time, we continue to carefully manage our resources as we grow. As a result of our cost control efforts, we were able to reduce operating expenses by 30%, operating cash burn by 41%, and the net loss by 31% respectively in Q1. We received FDA PMA approval for our next generation AI-enabled Claire device in early March. Since then, our sales team has already built a Claire sales funnel of close to 50 qualified leads, with over a dozen of those classified as being within the active management stages of the pipeline.

Speaker #5: Thanks, Abby. All right. It's an exciting quarter.

Speaker #5: We plan to methodically and opportunistically expand our commercial team to drive growth, without getting too far ahead of it. And finally, pulling all of this together, we believe we are at a pivotal inflection point in our business, and on the cusp of entering a stage of anticipated rapid growth.

Adrian Mendes: We plan on methodically and opportunistically expanding our commercial team to drive growth without getting too far ahead of it.

Speaker #6: Thank you. And, ladies and gentlemen, we will now begin the question and answer session. To ask a question, you may press star followed by the number one on your telephone keypad.

Operator: Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, we will now begin the question and answer session. Our first question comes from the line of Scott McAuley with Paradigm Capital. Please go ahead.

Speaker #6: If you're using a speakerphone, please speak up your handset before pressing the keys. To withdraw your question, please press a star, followed by the number two.

Speaker #6: Once again, that would be star one. If you would like to ask a question, one moment, please, for your first question. And our first question comes from the line of Scott McCauley with Paradigm Capital.

Speaker #6: Please go ahead.

Scott McAuley: Good afternoon, everyone. Thanks for taking the questions and welcome to the call. Abby, great to hear from you. First of all, great to hear that there's two Claire systems already up and running in facilities in the States. Quick question, have they performed any procedures yet with the device? Maybe a bit of detail in terms of the process of getting them set up, like had they already put up their hands before the approval? How long did it take to go through the procurement process? Any of those kind of color would be interesting.

Speaker #7: Good afternoon, everyone. Thanks for taking the questions, and welcome to the call, Abby. Great to hear from you. First of all, it's great to hear that there are two CLARE systems already up and running in facilities in the States.

Speaker #7: Quick question. Have they performed any procedures yet with the device? And maybe a bit of detail in terms of the process of getting them set up, like, had they already put up their hands before the approval?

Speaker #7: How long did it take to go through the procurement process? Any other color of that kind would be interesting.

Speaker #5: Hey, Scott. Yeah, thanks for the question. So it really has just happened, so there have been no procedures on it yet, on those machines, yes.

Adrian Mendes: Hey, Scott. Yeah, thanks for the question. It really has just happened, so there have been no procedures on it yet, on those machines yet, but we'll keep you posted as that happens. Which it shouldn't take too long now for that. These were existing customers, so it's quicker than as if it were a brand-new customer, of course. Obviously, all our existing customers were aware of what we were working on from an AI perspective ahead of the FDA approval, but we couldn't really actively engage with them in terms of getting those conversations started until that happened in March. It was quicker than a brand-new customer, but really we only could start engaging with them after the FDA approval. That's kind of the timeline from beginning of March till now for us to get this first one through.

Speaker #5: But we'll keep you posted as that happens, which shouldn't be—I mean, it shouldn't take too long now for that. These were existing customers.

Speaker #5: So it's quicker than as if it were a brand new customer, of course. Obviously, all our existing customers were aware of what we were working on from an AI perspective ahead of the FDA approval.

Adrian Mendes: Obviously, all our existing customers were aware of what we were working on from an AI perspective ahead of the FDA approval, but we couldn't really actively engage with them in terms of getting those conversations started until that happened in March. It was quicker than a brand-new customer, but really we only could start engaging with them after the FDA approval. That's kind of the timeline from beginning of March till now for us to get this first one through.

Speaker #5: But we couldn't really actively engage with them, in terms of getting those conversations started, until that happened in March. So, it was quicker than a brand-new customer.

Speaker #5: But really, we only could start engaging with them after the FDA approval. So that's kind of the timeline from beginning of March till now for us to get this first one through.

Speaker #5: But there's a deep pipeline, as you've heard about. And so we expect to be talking about more of those, hopefully in the not-too-distant future.

Adrian Mendes: There's a deep pipeline as you've heard about, and so we expect to be talking about more of those, hopefully in the not too distant future.

Speaker #7: Yeah, that's great. And maybe on that pipeline, it's good to hear about both the top and at least the midpoint of the funnel.

Scott McAuley: Yeah, that's great. Maybe on that pipeline, good to hear both kind of the top and at least midpoint of the funnels, and kind of two months from engagement to installation. Maybe a bit more on kind of timelines, how you see things moving through that pipeline, and maybe comparing getting a new site up and running versus converting old sites and if there is any kind of quantification around are these majority transitioning existing sites or majority completely new sites, kind of any other color on the makeup of that pipeline would be of interest?

Scott McAuley: Yeah, that's great. Maybe on that pipeline, good to hear both kind of the top and at least midpoint of the funnels, and kind of two months from engagement to installation.

Speaker #7: And kind of two months from engagement to installation. So maybe a bit more on kind of timelines, how you see things moving through that pipeline and maybe comparing getting a new set up and running versus converting old sites and if there is any kind of quantification around are these majority transitioning existing sites or majority completely new sites?

Scott McAuley: Maybe a bit more on kind of timelines, how you see things moving through that pipeline, and maybe comparing getting a new site up and running versus converting old sites and if there is any kind of quantification around are these majority transitioning existing sites or majority completely new sites, kind of any other color on the makeup of that pipeline would be of interest?

Speaker #7: Kind of any other color on the makeup of that pipeline would be of interest.

Speaker #5: Yeah. No, it's probably it's a mix. It's a mix of both new and existing. And it's fairly balanced between the two. The process, maybe I'll just talk a little bit about the process of how the folks that are already customers have some experience with the way OCT and the S series works within their workflow.

Adrian Mendes: Yeah. No, it's a mix of both new and existing. It's fairly balanced between the two. The process, maybe I'll just talk a little bit about the process of how the folks that are already customers have some experience with the way OCT and the S-Series works within their workflow. From a clinical standpoint, the idea of having the image assistance helping with that, it fits very nicely into the workflow. What that process ends up looking like is much more of working with the administration because the pricing model is different. We're obviously charging more for Claire than we were for the S-Series to capture the value of what the AI assistant brings. There's a renegotiation of, or a negotiation, I should say, of the conversion over to the next gen, onto Claire. That's where the work is on that respect.

Speaker #5: So from a clinical standpoint, the idea of having the image assistant helping with that, it fits very nicely into the workflow. So what that process ends up looking like is much more of a of working with the administration because the I mean, the pricing model is different.

Adrian Mendes: What that process ends up looking like is much more of working with the administration because the pricing model is different. We're obviously charging more for Claire than we were for the S-Series to capture the value of what the AI assistant brings. There's a renegotiation of, or a negotiation, I should say, of the conversion over to the next gen, onto Claire. That's where the work is on that respect.

Speaker #5: We're obviously charging more for series. To capture the value of what the AI system brings, so there's a renegotiation of or a negotiation, I should say, of the conversion over to the next-generation onto CLARE.

Speaker #5: So that's where the work is on that respect. But because the clinician is already used the physician's already used to using the basic technology, it reduces that portion of the sales cycle.

Adrian Mendes: Because the physician's already used to using the basic technology, it reduces that portion of the sales cycle. The other portion of the pipeline are those physicians, so surgeons that have been aware of our S-Series, have been looking forward for us to release Claire, and now are engaging with us from that standpoint. Many of them have been through, like have seen our product in operation, either in the field or at conferences, ASBrS and others. They have some feel for what it looks like. If they're new, they haven't actually had it inside their workflow themselves personally. For those sales, it's a little bit longer. Awareness is there, so we can kind of fast-forward to the awareness stage and the understanding of what that means from a impact standpoint.

Speaker #5: Now, the other portion of the pipeline are those physicians. So surgeons that have been aware of our S series have been looking forward for us to release CLARE and then now are engaging with us from that standpoint.

Speaker #5: Many of them have been through—like, I've seen our product in operation, either in the field or at conferences, ASBRS and others.

Adrian Mendes: Many of them have been through, like have seen our product in operation, either in the field or at conferences, ASBrS and others. They have some feel for what it looks like. If they're new, they haven't actually had it inside their workflow themselves personally. For those sales, it's a little bit longer. Awareness is there, so we can kind of fast-forward to the awareness stage and the understanding of what that means from a impact standpoint.

Speaker #5: So they have some feel for what it looks like, but if they're new, they haven't actually had it inside their workflow themselves, personally.

Speaker #5: So for those sales, it's a little bit longer. Awareness is there, so we can kind of fast forward to the awareness stage and the understanding of what that means from an impact standpoint.

Speaker #5: But really, part of that process is also getting the surgeon comfortable with the machine inside their operating room and fitting it into their workflow, so a little bit longer on that standpoint.

Adrian Mendes: Really part of that process is also getting the surgeon comfortable with the machine inside their operating room, and fit into their workflow. A little bit longer on that standpoint. As we look at the opportunities moving through the pipeline from now through the rest of the year and beyond, I think what we'll see is a mixture of current conversions and new customers. Current customers converting and new customers intermixed going forward at different rates as we can move them through that pipe.

Speaker #5: So as we look at the entire pipe opportunities moving through the pipeline from now through the rest of the year and beyond, I think what we'll see is a mixture of current conversions and new customers, current customers converting and new customers intermixed going forward at different rates as we can move them through that pipe.

Scott McAuley: That's great. Any details on that economics? How much more you are able to charge on a consumable basis for the AI and how that thinking's evolving?

Speaker #7: That's great. Any details on that economics? So how much more you are able to charge on the consumable basis for the AI and how that thinking is evolving?

Speaker #5: Yeah. So we're testing and we've been able to sign, obviously, been quoting and getting business done at a price that is it's it is not going to be at the same rate.

Adrian Mendes: Yeah. We're testing, and we've been able to sign, obviously, been quoting and getting business done at a price that is not going to be at the same rate. It's going to be significantly higher, let's say, than the S-Series pricing. We're not talking about specific pricing at this point as we are testing out the markets. I think you'll be able to see as the financials start to come through, you'll start to see a significant uplift in our revenue model and our margins based off the pricing on the new product.

Speaker #5: So it's going to be relatively higher—significantly higher, let's say—than the S series pricing. So we're not talking about specific pricing at this point.

Speaker #5: As we are testing out the market, but I think you'll be able to see as the financials start to come through, you'll start to see a significant uplift in our revenue model and our margins based off the pricing on the new product.

Scott McAuley: That's great. Maybe in the number of procedures for Q1, growth year over year, but in the consumable revenue, but down quarter over quarter. Would you say that the actual number of procedures performed in Q1 was kind of equivalent or more than in Q4 and it's just a kind of timing of ordering or anything like that kind of drove that change in the consumable revenue?

Speaker #7: That's great. Maybe in the number of procedures for Q1, gross year-over-year, but in the consumable revenue, but down quarter-over-quarter—would you say that the actual number of procedures performed in Q1 was kind of equivalent to, or more than, in Q4?

Speaker #7: And it's just a kind of timing of ordering or anything like that that kind of drove that change in the consumable revenue?

Speaker #5: Yeah, it was down slightly from Q4 to Q1. There is some seasonality built into that, of course. With the way that the way economics and people's health plans and stuff coverage work, Q4 ends up being a very large quarter, both because of breast cancer awareness month and then people trying to get through the deductibles.

Adrian Mendes: It was down slightly from Q4 to Q1. There is some seasonality built into that, of course. With the way economics and people's health plans, stuff coverage work. Q4 ends up being a very large quarter, both because of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and then people trying to get through the deductibles. It was down quarter-on-quarter. Q2's looking to be right on track again. We're seeing that bounce back now.

Speaker #5: So, it was down quarter on quarter, but Q2 is looking to be right on track again. So, we're seeing that bounce back now.

Speaker #7: That's great. Maybe on expanding the team: I know that there are a number of positions posted, and kind of how you're finding qualified people coming in.

Scott McAuley: That's great. Maybe on expanding the team, I know that there's a number of positions posted, and how you're finding qualified people come in. You're happy with the quality of the candidates and excited to bring them on and let them loose on the pipeline?

Speaker #7: You're happy with the quality of the candidates and excited to bring them on and let them loose on the pipeline?

Speaker #5: Yeah. So there's a couple of things in terms of team growth. One is we're being very cautious on the speed at which we grow the team.

Adrian Mendes: Yeah. There's a couple things in terms of team growth. One is we're being very cautious on the speed at which we grow the team. What we don't want to end up is in a failure mode where we hire too quickly, expand too quickly, and end up having efficiency go down because we've got so many new folks on board, number one. Number two, we're a small company right now, and we've got a small sales team. We do want to preserve the culture and make sure we're managing that culture appropriately. The best way to destroy culture is just hire way too quickly and get overwhelmed. There's a pacing item from just a core building out the company strategy. We have lots of candidates that would love to work on this technology or work with us. That's been great.

Speaker #5: What we don't want to end up in is a failure mode where we hire too quickly, expand too quickly, and end up having efficiency go down because we've got so many new folks on board, number one.

Speaker #5: And number two, we're a small company right now and we've got a small sales team. But we do want to preserve the culture and make sure we're managing that culture appropriately and so the best way to destroy culture is just hire way too quickly.

Adrian Mendes: Number two, we're a small company right now, and we've got a small sales team. We do want to preserve the culture and make sure we're managing that culture appropriately. The best way to destroy culture is just hire way too quickly and get overwhelmed. There's a pacing item from just a core building out the company strategy. We have lots of candidates that would love to work on this technology or work with us. That's been great.

Speaker #5: And get overwhelmed. So there's a pacing item from just at the core, building out the company strategy. And then, in terms of— but we have lots of candidates that would love to work in this technology, work with us, and so that's been great.

Speaker #5: We've had those jobs out there, and we're getting a very strong sort of flow of candidates through. But the flip side is we're also being quite selective in who we want to bring onto the team.

Adrian Mendes: We've had those jobs out there, and we're getting a very strong sort of flow of candidates through. The flip side is we're also being quite selective in who we want to bring onto the team. As a company at the stage we're at right now, which is early stage, the people you bring up early in a company are the ones that sort of define your culture and the way your company's going to work going forward. These early folks are so important for us. They have to be able to work in a startup environment. They have to be able to be dynamic. They have to be willing to learn, and sort of develop the playbook, so to speak, as we say internally, as we go expanding this product out. We're also making a market.

Speaker #5: As a company at this stage—where we are right now, which is early stage—we really need the people we bring on early in the company, as they are the ones that sort of define your culture and the way your company is going to work going forward.

Speaker #5: So, these early folks are so important for us. They have to be able to work in a startup environment, and they have to be able to be dynamic.

Adrian Mendes: These early folks are so important for us. They have to be able to work in a startup environment. They have to be able to be dynamic. They have to be willing to learn, and sort of develop the playbook, so to speak, as we say internally, as we go expanding this product out. We're also making a market.

Speaker #5: They have to be willing to learn and develop—sort of develop the playbook, so to speak, as we say internally, as we go expanding this project.

Speaker #5: We're also making a market. Margin assessment is for breast cancer. It's not a market that currently exists out there, so we're creating it—something where there is nothing.

Adrian Mendes: Margin assessment for breast cancer is not a market that currently exists out there. We're creating it, something where there is nothing. That takes a very unique sort of person. We're holding true to that, right? Making sure we're getting the right people in. The inbounds have been great. We've got a lot of applicants, and we're being very selective of who we actually get into the company.

Speaker #5: So that takes a very unique sort of person. And so, we're holding true to that, right? Making sure, again, the right people are in. The inbounds have been great.

Speaker #5: We've got a lot of applicants. And we're being very selective of who we actually get into the company.

Speaker #7: That's great. And finally, so not hogging the mic too much, outside of just kind of progress on installations and utilization, kind of any kind of key things that you're looking at or working on, kind of for the balance of the year, that we should be looking out for, maybe reimbursement or anything else?

Scott McAuley: That's great. Finally, so I'm not hogging the mic too much. Outside of just progress on installations and utilizations, any key things that you're looking at or working on for the balance of the year that we should be looking out for, maybe reimbursement or anything else?

Speaker #5: Yeah, so obviously, just commercialization, getting customers, expanding our customer base and procedure counts, etc., is going to be the major focus for us.

Adrian Mendes: Yeah. Obviously just commercialization, getting customers, expanding our customer base, and procedure counts, et cetera, is going to be the major focus for us. We are working on reimbursements, we're getting ready to launch an application with CMS here in the next few days, with the hope that gets into place by early next year. We're feeling pretty good about that process. That'll get launched, of course, there's an interactive period with CMS over the next few months as that application goes through. We have Breakthrough Device Designation, which helps our ability to get to a reimbursable state much quicker than if we did not have that. That's a focus for us, and that's, again, in service of being able to accelerate revenue growth and commercial traction as we enter into 2027. I think those are the two major things.

Speaker #5: We are working on reimbursements, and so we're getting ready to launch an application with CMS here in the next few days, with the hope that that gets into place by early next year.

Speaker #5: So we're feeling pretty good about that process, so that's another one that'll get launched. And then, of course, there's an interactive period with CMS over the next few months.

Adrian Mendes: That'll get launched, of course, there's an interactive period with CMS over the next few months as that application goes through. We have Breakthrough Device Designation, which helps our ability to get to a reimbursable state much quicker than if we did not have that. That's a focus for us, and that's, again, in service of being able to accelerate revenue growth and commercial traction as we enter into 2027. I think those are the two major things.

Speaker #5: That's an application that goes through. We have breakthrough device designation, which helps our ability to get to a reimbursable state much quicker than if we did not have that.

Speaker #5: So that's a focus for us, and that's, again, in service of being able to accelerate revenue growth and commercial traction as we enter into 2027.

Speaker #5: So I think those are the two major things. Of course, we're always cognizant of capital. We're coming off a raise that we just completed a few weeks ago.

Adrian Mendes: Of course, we're always cognizant of capital. We're coming off a raise that we just completed a few weeks ago, which gives us that firepower to be able to expand, so that's great. We're always managing that and have our eye on that ball as well. I think those are the three major areas that we're focused on at this point.

Speaker #5: Which gives us that firepower to be able to go and expand, so that's great. But we're always managing that and have our eye on that ball as well.

Speaker #5: So I think those are the three major areas that we're focused on at this point.

Speaker #7: That's great. Thanks, Adrian, and the team. Congrats on all the progress today—that FDA approval is great stuff.

Scott McAuley: That's great. Thanks, Adrian and the team. Congrats on all the progress to date, that FDA approval. Great stuff.

Speaker #5: Thanks, Scott.

Adrian Mendes: Thanks, Scott.

Speaker #2: And once again, if you would like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypad. The next question comes from the line of Michael Freeman with Raymond James.

Operator: The next question comes from the line of Michael Freeman with Raymond James. Please go ahead.

Speaker #2: Please go ahead.

Michael Freeman: Hey, Adrian, Sara, and Abby, good to hear from you. The first question is related to the financings you just mentioned. I wonder, should all the financings close as expected, what we should anticipate for total liquidity following the close of all those deals?

Speaker #8: Hey, Adrian and Sarah, and Abby, good to hear from you. The first question is related to the financing. As you just mentioned, I wonder—should all the financings close as expected?

Speaker #8: What you what we should anticipate for total liquidity or I guess total yeah, total liquidity following the close of all those deals?

Speaker #5: Sarah, do you want to take that question?

Adrian Mendes: Sara, do you want to take that question?

Speaker #4: Yeah, sure. Hi, Michael. How are you? Yeah. I mean, our expectation is that the capital raised and anticipated cash into the business this year from revenue will give us a 12-month runway.

Sara Brien: Yeah, sure. Hi, Michael, how are you? Yeah, our expectation is that the capital raised, and anticipated cash into the business this year from revenue, will give us a 12-month runway. Hopefully that answers your liquidity question.

Speaker #4: So, hopefully that answers your liquidity question.

Speaker #8: Are you able to put a round number on that, or is that all you can say?

Michael Freeman: Are you able to put a round number on that, or is that all you can say?

Speaker #4: We announced, what, $7.5 million US dollars raised to date. We're expecting to close—we've already press-released an announcement of another $2 million from Social Capital.

Sara Brien: We announced, what, $7.5 million for US dollars raised to date. We've already press released an announcement of another $2 million from Social Capital. We're just waiting to close out the debenture on that, so it'll be north of the $9.5 million.

Speaker #4: We're just waiting to close out the venture on that, so it'll be north of $9.5 million.

Michael Freeman: Fabulous. Okay. Thank you. On the approval for Claire, it left room for you guys to push AI model updates. I wonder if you could describe how meaningful this is for you, plans for future model updates in the next little while, and how they might expand the capabilities of the Claire today.

Speaker #8: Fabulous. Okay. Thank you. Now, on the approval for Claire, there was room in the it left room for you guys to push AI model updates.

Speaker #8: I wonder if—you know, I wonder if you could describe, I guess, how meaningful this is for you, and your plans for future model updates in the next little while.

Speaker #8: And how they might expand the capabilities of the Claire today.

Speaker #5: Yeah, thanks. That's a great question, Michael. Okay. So, yes, you're correct. As a part of our FDA approval, we also had approved what's called a pre-determined change control plan, or a PCCP.

Adrian Mendes: Yeah, thanks. That's a great question, Michael. Okay. Yes, you're correct. As a part of our FDA approval, we also had approved what's called a pre-determined change control plan or a PCCP. What that allows us to do is get authorization from the FDA to make changes that they pre-approve, and as long as we follow the bounds around what those changes can be, we can make those changes and deploy them without having to go through another review cycle. We had that. We got that applied to our AI algorithm. What it doesn't mean is that we've got free rein to do whatever we want to with our AI models. What it does mean, it still gives us a lot of room to maneuver in what we can do. We can add more data to training.

Speaker #5: And what that allows us to do is get authorization from the FDA to make changes that they pre-approve. And as long as we follow the balance around what those changes can be, we can make those changes and deploy them without having to go through another review cycle.

Speaker #5: So we had that. We got that applied to our AI algorithms. So what that what it doesn't mean is that we've got free rein to do whatever we want to with our AI models.

Adrian Mendes: We had that. We got that applied to our AI algorithm. What it doesn't mean is that we've got free rein to do whatever we want to with our AI models. What it does mean, it still gives us a lot of room to maneuver in what we can do. We can add more data to training.

Speaker #5: But what it does mean, it still gives us a lot of room to maneuver in what we can do. So we can add more data to training.

Speaker #5: We can update our algorithms using the same basic architecture, and we can make those changes as we go through our internal processes.

Adrian Mendes: We can update our algorithms using the same basic architecture. We can make those changes as we go through our internal processes, we can release them and follow our normal release procedures for changes of the product. The version of the software that we ran the trial on is what we called ImgAssist AI 2.0. That was developed some years ago before the trial started. That's what we have been frozen to through the FDA approval cycle. Of course, our AI team has been working on next versions of that. We got approval on early March, and by late April, we had our next generation version of that available and on the machine. In fact, that's what we demoed at the ASBrS conference a few weeks ago, which had significant improvements over what the first generation was, right?

Speaker #5: We can release them and follow our normal release procedures for changes to the product. We got our the version of the software that we ran the trial on is what we called Image Assist 2.0.

Speaker #5: That's what was developed some years ago before the trial started. And that's what we have been frozen to through the FDA approval cycle. But of course, our AI team has been working on next versions of that.

Adrian Mendes: Of course, our AI team has been working on next versions of that. We got approval on early March, and by late April, we had our next generation version of that available and on the machine. In fact, that's what we demoed at the ASBrS conference a few weeks ago, which had significant improvements over what the first generation was, right?

Speaker #5: So, we got approval in early March, and by late April, we had our next generation version of that available and on the machine.

Speaker #5: In fact, that's what we demoed at the ASPRS conference a few months, or a few weeks ago, which had significant improvements over what the first generation was, right?

Speaker #5: So the two key things are: Are you able to—is your algorithm able to find more of what it's looking for? In our case, suspicious areas.

Adrian Mendes: The two key things are, is your algorithm able to find more of what it's looking for? In our case, suspicious areas within the images. Can it find less false positives? Like filter out more of the stuff that looks like it might be an issue, but isn't. We made great improvements, 20% to 25% improvements in both of those metrics as we went from the algorithm that was in the trial to what we now have on machine. We do have a roadmap of continued improvement on where we are right now over the rest of the year as we gather more images, as the AI team improves the algorithm. We still feel like there's still more juice to squeeze from the lemon from the PCCP, even without having to go through a whole another review cycle.

Speaker #5: Within the images. And can it find fewer false positives? So, like, filter out more of the stuff that looks like it might be an issue but isn't.

Speaker #5: And we made great improvements—20 to 25 percent improvements—in both of those metrics as we went from the algorithm that was in the trial to what we now have on-machine.

Speaker #5: We do see—we do have a roadmap of continued improvement on where we are right now. Over the rest of the year, as we gather more images, and as the AI team improves the algorithm.

Adrian Mendes: We do have a roadmap of continued improvement on where we are right now over the rest of the year as we gather more images, as the AI team improves the algorithm. We still feel like there's still more juice to squeeze from the lemon from the PCCP, even without having to go through a whole another review cycle.

Speaker #5: So we still feel like there's more juice to squeeze from the lemon with the PCCP, even without having to go through a whole other review cycle.

Speaker #5: And we're super excited about that because, with the speed at which AI moves, we want to be following that as closely as we can.

Adrian Mendes: That's why we're super excited about that, because the speed at which AI moves, we want to be kind of following that as closely as we can. Yeah, it's a big part of our strategy for product improvement, definitely.

Speaker #5: So yeah, it's a big part of our strategy for product improvements, definitely.

Speaker #7: That's great. Gotcha. I mean, a 25% improvement in the algorithm is super meaningful, so thank you for sharing that. Okay, those are all my questions.

Michael Freeman: That's great. I mean, 25% improvements on the algorithm, super meaningful. Thank you for sharing that. Okay, those are all my questions. I'm excited for this company. I'm excited for patients. This is a big deal, this being on market. I'll leave it there. Thank you.

Speaker #7: I'm excited for—I'm excited for this company. I'm excited for patients. This is a big deal. This being on the market—I'll leave it there.

Speaker #7: Thank you.

Speaker #5: Thanks, Michael.

Adrian Mendes: Thanks, Michael.

Speaker #2: And I'm showing no further questions at this time. I would like to turn it back to Adrian Mendez for closing remarks.

Operator: I'm showing no further questions at this time. I would like to turn it back to Adrian Mendes for closing remarks.

Speaker #5: All right. Thank you. So the first quarter of 2026 marked a critical milestone for Perimeter. That was highlighted by the FDA PMA approval in March.

Adrian Mendes: All right. Thank you. The Q1 2026 marked a critical milestone for Perimeter that was highlighted by the FDA PMA approval in March, the approval of our next generation Claire OCT plus AI platform. This achievement represents a major validation of our clinical, regulatory, and technology development efforts and positions us to advance to the next phase of our commercialization strategy, which is focused on scaling adoption. During the Q1, we continued to generate strong year-over-year growth in recurring consumable revenue from our legacy S-Series install base, which we believe demonstrates the clinical utility and value of our technology provided to surgeons. Moving forward with Claire, now FDA PMA approved, we believe our next gen AI-enabled platform can broaden adoption, strengthen our commercial opportunity, and support rapid growth.

Speaker #5: The approval of our next-generation ClaireOCT plus AI platform.

Speaker #5: Moving forward, with Claire now FDA PMA-approved, we believe our next-gen, AI-enabled platform can broaden adoption, strengthen our commercial opportunity, and support rapid growth.

Speaker #5: We're in very exciting times here at Perimeter, and we thank you for your support and for your time.

Adrian Mendes: We're in very exciting times here at Perimeter, and we thank you for your support and for your time.

Operator: Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes today's conference call. Thank you all for joining. You may now disconnect.
