Paragraph as it now reads, with added and removed wording marked:

We may use and integrate artificial intelligence into our business processes, and this innovation presents risks and challenges that could affect its adoption, and therefore our business. If we enable or offer solutions that draw controversy due to perceived or actual negative societal impact, we may experience brand or reputational harm, competitive harm or legal liability. The use of certain artificial intelligence technology can give rise to intellectual property risks, including compromises to proprietary intellectual property and intellectual property infringement. Additionally, we expect to see increasing government and supranational regulation related to artificial intelligence use and ethics, which may also significantly increase the burden and cost of research, development and compliance in this area. For example, the EU’s Artificial Intelligence Act (“AI Act”) — the world’s first comprehensive AI law — which has entered into force on August 1, 2024 and most provisions of which will become effective on August 2, 2026. This legislation imposes significant obligations on providers and deployers of high-risk artificial intelligence systems and encourages providers and deployers of artificial intelligence systems to account for EU ethical principles in their development and use of these systems. If we develop or use AI systems that are governed by the AI Act, it may necessitate ensuring higher standards of data quality, transparency, and human oversight, as well as adhering to specific and potentially burdensome and costly ethical, accountability, and administrative requirements. The rapid evolution of artificial intelligenceAI will require the application of significant resources to design, develop, test and maintain our products and services to help ensure that artificial intelligenceAI is implemented in accordance with applicable law and regulation and in a socially responsible manner and to minimize any real or perceived unintended harmful impacts. Our vendors may in turn incorporate artificial intelligenceAI tools into their offerings, and the providers of these artificial intelligenceAI tools may not meet existing or rapidly evolving regulatory or industry standards, including with respect to privacy and data security. Further, bad actors around the world use increasingly sophisticated methods, including the use of artificial intelligence,AI, to engage in illegal activities involving the theft and misuse of personal information, confidential information and intellectual property. In addition, the use of generative AI models in our internal or third-party systems may create new attack surfaces or methods for adversaries, which could impact us and our vendors. Any of these effects could damage our reputation, result in the loss of valuable property and information, cause us to breach applicable laws and regulations, and adversely impact our business.business, financial condition and results of operation.

Reworded

Because healthcare costs have risen significantly over the past decade, numerous initiatives and reforms have been launched by legislators, regulators, and third-party payers to curb these costs. As a result, there has been a consolidation trend in the healthcare industry to create larger companies, including hospitals, with greater market power. As the healthcare industry consolidates, competition to provide products and services to industry participants has become and may continue to become more intense. This may result in greater pricing pressures and the exclusion of certain suppliers from important markets such as group purchasing organizations, independent delivery networks, and large single accounts continuecontinuing to use their market power to consolidate purchasing decisions. If a group purchasing organization excludes us from being one of their suppliers, our net sales could be adversely impacted. We expect that market demand, government regulation, third-party reimbursement policies, and societal pressurespressure will continue to change the worldwide healthcare industry, which may exert further downward pressure on the prices of our products and limit our access to sell our products and services to customers.

Reworded

We have historically derived most of our revenuesrevenue from a small number of customers who resell our products to end-users. Many of these customers are significantly larger companies than us. In 2024,2025, J&J MedTech accounted for 57%50% of our revenue. While we have started to diversify our sales channels, including through the implementation of a direct commercial model in the United States for our Regenerative Solutions products, we expect to continue to be dependent on a small number of large customers for a substantial portion of our business. The failure of key customers to purchase our products in the amounts they historically have or in amounts that we expect would seriously harm our business.

Reworded

Although we believe that alternative sources for many of these and otherthe components and raw materials that we use in our manufacturing processes are available, we cannot be certain that the supply of key raw materials will continue to be available at current levels or will be sufficient to meet our future needs. We continue to see impacts on our supply chain as the companies that produce our products, product components or otherwise support our manufacturing processes, the distribution centers where we manage our inventory, or the operations of our logistics and other service providers, including third parties that sterilize and store our products, were disrupted, temporarily closed or experienced worker shortages for a sustained period of time during and following the global pandemic or due to other supply chain disruptions. We also have to enter into longer termlonger-term purchase commitments with these key suppliers that could lead impacts on cost and volatility of supply. Any supply interruption could harm our ability to manufacture our products until a new source of supply is identified and qualified. We may not be able to find sufficient alternative suppliers in a reasonable time period, or on commercially reasonable terms, if at all, and our ability to produce and supply our products could be impaired.

Reworded

We manufacture our global commercial supply from a single site located in Bedford, Massachusetts. The operation of biomedical manufacturing plants involves many risks, including the risks of breakdown, failure, substandard performance of equipment, the inability of production runs to pass internal quality standards, the need to comply with the requirements of directives of government agencies, including the FDA, and the occurrence of natural and other disasters. Such occurrences could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations during the period of such operational difficulties and beyond.

Reworded

In addition, governmental agencies of the United States or other countries may impose new requirements regarding registration, labeling or prohibited materials that may require us to modify or re-register our devices once they are already on the market or otherwise impact our ability to market the devices in the United States or other countries. For example, on February 2, 2024, the FDA published a final rule to amend its QSR requirements to align more closely with the international consensus standards for medical devices by converging with quality management system requirements used by other regulatory authorities from other countries. Specifically, the final rule does so primarily by incorporating by reference the 2016 edition of the ISO 13485 standard is effective February 2, 2026. If we are slow or unable to adapt to changes in existing requirements or the adoption of new requirements or policies, or if we are not able to maintain regulatory compliance, we may lose any marketing authorization that we may have obtained, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and our ability to achieve or sustain profitability. The process of complying with these governmentalgovernment regulations can be costly and time consuming,time-consuming, and could delay or prevent the production, manufacturing or sale of our products.

Reworded

We and our third-party providers are subject to national, international, federal or state laws and regulations, regulatory guidance and industry standards relating to data protection, privacy and information security. This includes the European Union (“EU”),EU, GDPR, and the United Kingdom (“UK”) equivalent of the same (the “UK GDPR” together with the EU GDPR, the “GDPR”), as well as other national data protection legislation in force in relevant European Economic Area (“EEA”) Member States and the UK (including the UK Data Protection Act 2018), which governs the collection, use, storage, disclosure, transfer, or other processing of personal data (including health data processed in the context of clinical trials): (i) regarding individuals in the EEA and UK; and/or (ii) carried out in the context of the activities of our establishment in any EEA Member State or the UK.

Reworded

The GDPR is wide-ranging in scope and imposes numerous additional requirements on companies that process personal data, including imposing special requirements in respect of the processing of special categories of personal data (such as health and data), relying on a legal basis or condition for processing personal data, where required, requiring that consent of individuals to whom the personal data relates, requiring information disclosures to individuals regarding data processing activities, requiring that safeguards are implemented to protect the security and confidentiality of personal data, creating mandatory data breach notification requirements in certain circumstances, requiring data protection impact assessments for high risk processing and requiring that certain measures (including contractual requirements) are put in place when engaging third-party processors. The GDPR also provideprovides individuals with various rights in respect of their personal data. The definition of personal data under GDPR is defined broadly and includes pseudonymized or coded data; GDPR will, therefore, apply in the context of data collected and processed about clinical trial participants and investigators in the EU and UK. We are required to apply GDPR standards to any clinical trials that our EEA and UK established businesses carry out anywhere in the world.

Reworded

Significantly, the GDPR imposes strict rules on the transfer of personal data out of the EEA or the UK to the United States or other regions that have not been deemed to offer “adequate” privacy protections. Currently, we rely mainly on Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission (“SCCs”) to legitimize transfers of personal data out of the EEA. On June 4, 2021, the European Commission issued new forms of SCCs for data transfers from controllers or processors in the EEA (or otherwise subject to the EU GDPR) to controllers or processors established outside the EEA (and not subject to the EU GDPR). The new SCCs replace the SCCs that were adopted previously under the Data Protection Directive. The UK is not subject to the EC’s new SCCs but has published its own standard clauses, the International Data Transfer Agreement, which enables transfers from the UK. We will be required to implement these new safeguards in the event these safeguards are used as our basis for conducting restricted data transfers under the EU GDPR and UK GDPR and doing so may require significant effort and cost. If relying on the SCCs or UK IDTA for data transfers, we may also be required to carry out transfer impact assessments to assess whether the recipient is subject to local laws which allow public authority access to personal data. There continue to be concerns about whether the SCCs and other international transfer mechanisms will face additional legal challenges. Any inability to transfer personal data from the EEA to the U.S. in compliance with data protection laws may impede our ability to conduct trials and may adversely affect our business and financial position.

Reworded

The UK’s data protection regime is independent from but aligned to the EU’s data protection regime. Although the UK is regarded as a third country under the EU’s GDPR, the European Commission has now issued an adequacy decision recognizing the UK as providing adequate protection under the EU GDPR andand, therefore, transfers of personal data originating in the EEA to the UK GDPRremain currentlyunrestricted. imposeIn substantiallyDecember similar2025, obligations,the itEuropean isCommission possibleadopted thata overdecision timeto extend the validity of the UK GDPRadequacy coulddecision becomefor lesssix alignedyears withuntil December 2031, determining that the UK continues to offer a level of data protection that is “essentially equivalent” to the EU GDPR,standards. particularlyThis withfollows the UKUK’s plansadoption to reformof the country’s data protection legal framework in the new Data (Use and Access) BillAct introduced2025 intoon 19 June 2025. Like the EU GDPR, the UK legislativeGDPR process.restricts personal data transfers outside the UK to countries not regarded by the UK as providing adequate protection. The UK Government has confirmed that personal data transfers from the UK to the EEA remain free flowing. In addition, EEA Member States have adopted implementing national laws to implement the GDPR which may partially deviate from the GDPR and the competent authorities in the EEA Member States may interpret GDPR obligations slightly differently from country to country, so that we do not expect to operate in a uniform legal landscape in the EEA and UK with respect to data protection regulations. The potential of the respective provisions and enforcement of the EU GDPR and UK GDPR further diverging in the future creates additional regulatory challenges and uncertainties for us. The lack of clarity on future UK laws and regulations and their interaction with EU laws and regulations could add legal risk, uncertainty, complexity and compliance cost to the handling of European personal data and our privacy and data security compliance and could require us to amend our processes and procedures to implement different compliance measures for the UK and the EEA.

Failure to comply with the requirements of the GDPR and the related national data protection laws of the EEA Member States and the UK may result in fines up to €20 million (£17.5 million for the UK GDPR) or 4% of a company’s global annual revenues for the preceding financial year, whichever is higher. The GDPR also confers a private right of action on data subjects and consumer associations to lodge complaints with supervisory authorities, seek judicial remedies, and obtain compensation for damages resulting from violations of the GDPR.

Reworded

In the United States, numerous federal and state laws and regulations, including federal health information privacy laws, state data breach notification laws, state health information privacy laws and federal and state consumer protection laws that govern the collection, use, disclosure and protection of health-related and other personal information could apply to our operations or the operations of our collaborators and third-party service providers. For example, California enacted the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”)., This law, which became effective on January 1, 2020 givesgrants California residentsconsumers expanded(as defined in the law) individual privacy rights, including the rights to accessaccess, correct and delete their personal information, opt out of certain personal information sharing and receive detailed informationnotice about how their personal information is used.used Itor also provides for civil penalties for violations, as well as a private right of action for data breaches that are expected to increase data breach litigation.

Regulators and legislators in the U.S. are increasingly scrutinizing and restricting certain personal data transfers and transactions involving foreign countries. For example, the Department of Justice’s January 8, 2025, Rule on Preventing Access to U.S. Sensitive Personal Data and Government-Related Data by Countries of Concern or Covered Persons, prohibits transfers of data, including health data, genetic data, and biospecimens, to countries of concern, including China. The regulations also restrict certain investment agreements, employment agreements and vendor agreements involving such data and countries of concern, absent specified cybersecurity controls. Actual or alleged violations of these regulations may be punishable by criminal and/or civil sanctions and may result in exclusion from participation in federal and state programs and could restrict our ability to use certain vendors, sites, investigators, or service providers in clinical trials.

In addition, many jurisdictions around the world have adopted legislation that regulates how businesses operate online and enforces information security, including measures relating to privacy, data security and data breaches. Many of these laws require businesses to notify data breaches to the regulators and/or data subjects. These laws are not consistent, and compliance in the event of a widespread data breach is costly and burdensome.

Removed

In many jurisdictions, enforcement actions and consequences for non-compliance with protection, privacy and information security laws and regulations are rising. In the EEA and the UK, data protection authorities may impose large penalties for violations of the data protection laws, including potential fines of up to €20 million (£17.5 million in the UK) or 4% of annual global revenue, whichever is greater. The authorities have shown a willingness to impose significant fines and issue orders preventing the processing of personal data on non-compliant businesses. Data subjects also have a private right of action, as do consumer associations, to lodge complaints with supervisory authorities, seek judicial remedies, and obtain compensation for damages resulting from violations of applicable data protection laws. In the United States, possible consequences for non-compliance include enforcement actions in response to rules and regulations promulgated under the authority of federal agencies and state attorneys general and legislatures and consumer protection agencies.

We may use and integrate artificial intelligence (“AI”) into our business processes, and this innovation presents risks and challenges that could affect its adoption, and therefore our business. The use of AI presents risks and challenges that could adversely affect our business and reputation, including cybersecurity, data privacy, IT, confidentiality, regulatory, legal, operational, competitive, reputational, intellectual property and other risks. Specifically, risks related to accuracy, bias, AI hallucinations, discrimination, harmful content, misinformation, fraud, scams, targeted attacks (including model poisoning or data poisoning), surveillance, data leakage, bias and inequality, environmental and other harms may flow from our development or use of AI technologies. For example, use of certain AI tools may increase the risk of unauthorized disclosure of confidential information, compromise of proprietary intellectual property, or inadvertent inclusion of third-party intellectual property or other protected material, which could result in disputes or claims of infringement.

Added

Additionally, government and supranational regulation related to AI is evolving as new laws and regulations are implemented globally and could increase the operational cost of compliance, including through requirements related to transparency, accountability, risk management, human oversight, and data governance. We expect to see increasing regulation related to AI governance, use and ethics, which may also significantly increase the burden and cost of research, development and compliance in this area. For example, the EU’s Artificial Intelligence Act (“AI Act”) — the world’s first comprehensive AI law —entered into force on August 1, 2024, with most important provisions scheduled to become effective on August 1, 2026. As currently enacted, the AI Act imposes significant obligations on providers and deployers of high-risk AI systems and general purpose AI models, and encourages providers and deployers of AI systems to account for EU ethical principles when developing and using AI technology. The scope of requirements depends on legal and risk determinations that rely on novel legal provisions that have not yet been fully interpreted by courts or regulators, and non-compliance can lead to significant fines.

Added

In the U.S., the regulatory environment is complex and uncertain. Over the past year, states have advanced, and in some cases passed, dozens of laws focusing on AI governance and regulation, including deployment of AI in healthcare settings. At the Federal level, the current executive administration has endorsed a federal moratorium on the enforcement of state AI laws, including through a December 11, 2025, executive order on “Ensuring a National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence.” So far, these efforts have not been successful at curtailing state action on AI regulation, contributing to a complicated legislative patchwork, which may be litigated in state and federal courts. In addition, there is continued uncertainty regarding the application of existing federal and state legal frameworks to uses and development of AI, and legal norms and market standards regarding AI continue to evolve. For example, various federal and state regulators have issued guidance and focused enforcement efforts on the use of AI in regulated sectors. The FDA, for example, issued guidance on the use of artificial intelligence in medical devices, requiring detailed risk management and review processes to obtain approvals. The FDA has further issued, for example, draft guidance on the use of AI in regulatory decision-making for drug and biological products that centers on the context of use while establishing a credibility assessment framework for establishing and evaluating AI model outputs intended to support regulatory decision-making. If we develop or use AI systems that are governed by these laws or regulations, including as informed by regulatory guidance, we will need to meet higher standards of data quality, transparency, and human oversight, and we would need to adhere to specific, potentially burdensome and costly ethical, accountability, and administrative requirements. We may also be subject to significant enforcement or litigation in the event of any perceived non-compliance.

Any of these effects could damage our reputation, result in the loss of valuable property and information, cause us to breach applicable laws and regulations, and adversely impact our business.business, financial condition and results of operation.

Reworded

We are increasingly dependent on sophisticated information technology for our products and infrastructure. As a result of technologytechnological initiatives, recently enacted regulations, changes in our system platforms and integration of new business acquisitions, we have been consolidating and integrating the number of systems we operate and have upgraded and expanded our information systems capabilities. We also have outsourced elements of our operations to third parties, and, as a result, we manage a few third-party suppliers who may or could have access to our confidential intellectual property or business information.

Reworded

Although we devote resources to protect our information systems, we realize that cyberattacks, cyber intrusions and other disruptions are a threat, and there can be no assurance that our efforts will prevent information security incidents or breaches that would result in business, legal, financial or reputational harm to us, or would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. We may not be able to anticipate all types of security threats, nor may we be able to implement preventive measures to be effective against all such security threats. The techniques used by cyber criminals change frequently, may not be recognized until launched and can originate from a wide variety of sources, including insider threats and outside groups such as external service providers, organized crime affiliates, terrorist organizations or hostile foreign governments or agencies, or generated using artificial intelligence.

Reworded

Likewise, we rely on third parties for various operations, including the manufacture of our products and to conduct clinical trials, and similar events relating to their computer systems could also have a material adverse effect on our business. We rely on our third-party providers to implement effective security measures and identify and correct for any such failures, deficiencies or data security incidents or breaches. Any data security incident or breach in our or our third-party providers’ information technology systems could lead to the unauthorized access, disclosure and use of non-public information, including protected health information and other personally identifiable information which is protected by HIPAA, and other laws. Any such access, disclosure, or other loss of information could result in legal claims or proceedings, liability under laws that protect the privacy of personal information, damage to our reputation and the further development and commercialization of our products could be delayed.

Reworded

Any compromise to our information security or that of our third-party service providers or contractors could result in an interruption in our operations, the unauthorized publication of our confidential business or proprietary information, the unauthorized release, use, disclosure and/or dissemination of customer, vendor, or employee data, the violation of privacy and/or data protection laws, including under the GDPR, in the European UnionEU or the UK, or other laws and exposure to litigation, any of which could harm our business and operating results. Our contracts may not contain limitations of liability, and even where they do, there can be no assurance that limitations of liability in our contracts are sufficient to protect us from liabilities, damages, or claims related to our privacy and data security obligations. Further, applicable privacy and data security obligations may require us to notify relevant stakeholders of a data security incident, breach, or other interruptions. Such disclosures are costly, and the disclosure or the failure to comply with such requirements could lead to adverse consequences. In addition, cyberattacks, cyber intrusions, or other interruptions may cause stakeholders (including investors and potential customers) to stop supporting our business, deter new customers from using our products, and negatively impact our ability to grow and operate our business.

Reworded

If the fair value of any of our long-lived assets decreasedecreases as a result of an economic slowdown, a downturn in the markets where we sell products and services, a downturn in our stock price, financial performance or future outlook, or other reasons, we may be required to record an impairment charge on such assets. We are required to test intangible assets with indefinite life periods for potential impairment annually and on an interim basis if there are indicators of a potential impairment. We also are required to evaluate amortizable intangible assets and fixed assets for impairment if there are indicators of a possible impairment. Impairment charges could have a negative impact on our results of operations and financial position, as well as on the market price of our common stock.

Reworded

We are highly dependent on the members of our management, operations and technical staff, the loss of one or more of whom could have a material adverse effect on us. We have experienced a number of management changes in recent years, and there can be no assurances that any future management changes will not adversely affect our business. Effective February 1, 2026, we had a transition in our President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) role, in which Cheryl Blanchard became Executive Chair of our Board of Directors and she was replaced as President and CEO by Stephen Griffin, who had been Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer. This transition in our CEO role may disrupt our operations, create uncertainty among employees and investors, and result in changes to our strategic direction. We believe that our future success will depend in large part upon our ability to attract and retain technical and highly skilled executive, managerial, professional, and technical personnel. We continue to engage with our employees on a regular basis to limit voluntary employee turnover. We face significant competition for such personnel from competitive companies, research and academic institutions, government entities, and other organizations. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in hiring or retaining the personnel we require. The failure to hire and retain such personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

To the extent funds generated from our operations, together with our existing capital resources, are insufficient to meet future requirements, we will be required to obtain additional funds through equity or debt financings,financing, through strategic alliances with corporate partners and others, or through other sources. The terms of any future equity financing may be dilutive to our investorsinvestors, and the terms of any debt financing may contain restrictive covenants, which limit our ability to pursue certain courses of action. Our ability to obtain financing is dependent on the status of our future business prospects as well as conditions prevailing in the relevant capital markets at the time, we seek financing. No assurance can be given that any additional financing will be made available to us or will be available on acceptable terms should such a need arise.

Substantial changes to U.S. tax law may adversely affect our business.

Added

On July 4, 2025, tax reform legislation included in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) was enacted in the United States. Key corporate tax provisions include the restoration of 100% bonus depreciation, allowing for the potential for immediate expensing of domestic research and experimental expenditures, changes to Section 163(j) interest limitations, updates to Global Intangible and Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) and Foreign Derived Intangible Income (“FDII”) rules, amendments to energy credits, and expanded Section 162(m) aggregation requirements. We have evaluated the elective provisions allowed under the new U.S. tax legislation and accounted for tax deductions for bonus depreciation and research and development expenses allowed under the new legislation. Other changes enacted did not have a material impact to our financial statements.

Although we assess our banking and customer relationships as we believe necessary or appropriate, our access to funding sources and other credit arrangements in amounts adequate to finance or capitalize our current and projected future business operations could be significantly impaired by factors that affect the Company,us, the financial institutions with which thewe Company hashave credit agreements or arrangements directly, or the financial services industry or economy in general. These factors could include, among others, events such as liquidity constraints or failures, the ability to perform obligations under various types of financial, credit or liquidity agreements or arrangements, disruptions or instability in the financial services industry or financial markets, or concerns or negative expectations about the prospects for companies in the financial services industry. These factors could involve financial institutions or financial services industry companies with which the Company has financial or business relationships but could also include factors involving financial markets or the financial services industry generally.

The impact of the Russianongoing invasionconflict ofbetween Russia and Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East on the global economy, energy supplies and raw materials is uncertain, but may prove to negatively impact our business and operations.

Reworded

The short and long-term implications of Russia’sthe invasionongoing ofconflict between Russia and Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East are difficult to predict at this time. We continue to monitor any adverse impact that the outbreak of war in Ukraine, the subsequent institution of sanctions against Russia by the United States and several European and Asian countries, and the conflict in the Middle East may have on the global economy in general, on our business and operations and on the businesses and operations of our suppliers and other third parties with which we conduct business. For example, a prolonged conflict in Ukraine or the Middle East may result in increased inflation, escalating energy prices and constrained availability, and thus increasing costs, of raw materials. We also have suppliers and customers in and around those areas that we periodically do business with that could be disrupted by these events. We will continue to monitor this fluid situation and develop contingency plans as necessary to address any disruptions to our business operations as they develop. To the extent these conflicts may adversely affect our business as discussed above, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described herein. Such risks include, but are not limited to, adverse effects on macroeconomic conditions, including inflation; disruptions to our global technology infrastructure, including through cyberattack, ransom attack, or cyber-intrusion; adverse changes in international trade policies and relations; disruptions in global supply chains; and constraints, volatility, or disruption in the capital markets, any of which could negatively affect our business and financial condition.

Added

Significant political, trade, regulatory developments, and other circumstances beyond our control, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Added

Significant political, trade, or regulatory developments, such as those stemming from changes in the U.S. federal administration, are difficult to predict and may have a material adverse effect on us, as we both import materials and equipment necessary to manufacture our products in the U.S., and export materials and products from the U.S. Similarly, changes in U.S. federal policy that affect the geopolitical landscape could give rise to circumstances outside our control that could have negative impacts on our business operations. Changes to U.S. policy implemented by the U.S. Congress, the current administration or any new administration have impacted and may in the future impact, among other things, the U.S. and global economy, international trade relations, unemployment, immigration, healthcare, taxation, the U.S. regulatory environment, inflation and other areas. For example, certain governments (including the United States and other countries) have imposed or may impose tariffs on a wide range of products, raw materials, and intermediate goods, including on products that we purchase from certain key suppliers. Additional tariffs, or retaliatory measures by other countries in response, may be implemented at any time. Historically, tariffs have led to increased trade and political tensions. In response to tariffs, other countries have implemented retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods. Political tensions as a result of trade policies could reduce trade volume, investment, technological exchange, and other economic activities between major international economies, resulting in a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets. Any changes in political, trade, regulatory, and economic conditions, including U.S. trade policies, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. Until we know what policy changes are made, whether those policy changes are challenged and subsequently upheld by the court system, the duration that those policy changes remain in effect, and how those changes impact our business and the business of our competitors over the long term, we will not know if, overall, we will benefit from them or be negatively affected by them.

The U.S. Congress, the Trump administration, or any new administration may make substantial changes to fiscal, tax and other federal policies that may adversely affect our business.

Removed

In 2017, the U.S. Congress and the Trump administration made substantial changes to U.S. policies, which included comprehensive corporate and individual tax reform. In addition, the Trump administration called for significant changes to U.S. trade, healthcare, immigration and government regulatory policy. With the transition to the Biden administration in early 2021, changes to U.S. policy occurred and since the start of the Trump Administration in 2025, U.S. policy changes have been implemented at a rapid pace and additional changes are likely. Changes to U.S. policy implemented by the U.S. Congress, the Trump administration or any new administration have impacted and may in the future impact, among other things, the U.S. and global economy, international trade relations, unemployment, immigration, healthcare, taxation, the U.S. regulatory environment, inflation and other areas. Although we cannot predict the impact, if any, of these changes to our business, they could adversely affect our business. Until we know what policy changes are made, whether those policy changes are challenged and subsequently upheld by the court system and how those changes impact our business and the business of our competitors over the long term, we will not know if, overall, we will benefit from them or be negatively affected by them.

In October 2025, J&J MedTech announced that it planned to divest its orthopedics implants and related surgical products business which would include Monovisc and Orthovisc products that we manufacture. This action by J&J MedTech could impact our ability to predict and generate revenue and have a material impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Beginning in 2019, we started selling and marketing many of our products directly to customers, including hospitals and ASCs, through our direct Anika sales team and largea network of independent third-party distributors. This approach was a departure from our historical distribution model in the United States, and we cannot be certain that we will be successful in implementing and executing on this commercial approach or that, even if we are able to implement it, the approach will be successful at scale. We may not be able to attract or retain the sophisticated personnel required for our approach, to identify or negotiate favorable or acceptable terms with distribution agents and ensure that they dedicate time and focus to our products, to achieve in-market pricing at the levels we have targeted, to develop and tailor our product portfolio to be specifically desired by clinicians who practice in ASCs, or to timely execute on our strategies for market penetration generally. Our failure to successfully implement and execute this commercial approach could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Added

Even when our products or procedures that use our products are covered by third-party payers, reimbursement may be subject to significant administrative requirements, including prior authorization, claims documentation, and utilization management processes. Payers may delay, deny, or reduce payment for administrative or technical reasons, or may require providers to pursue appeals or resubmissions, which can be costly and time-consuming. Such delays or denials may discourage providers from purchasing or administering our products and could negatively impact sales, cash flows, and operating results.

In 2018, we received and analyzed the results of our second Phase III clinical trial for Cingal and found that the data did not meet the primary study endpoint of demonstrating a statistically significant difference in pain reduction between Cingal and the approved steroid component of Cingal at the six-month time point. After discussions with the FDA, it was determined that an additional Phase III clinical trial would most likely be necessary to support U.S. marketing approval for Cingal. In 2019, we began the design of our third Phase III clinical trial to enable us to evaluate our full-scale Phase III clinical trial design, including patient and site selection criteria, and increase the probability of success for the Phase III trial. In 2022, we completed this third Phase III clinical trial, which achieved its primary endpoint. Together with previous clinical studies, Cingal has demonstrated superiority over each of its active ingredients and placebo over 26 weeks for long-acting pain relief. We have been engaging with the FDA on next steps for U.S. regulatory approval. We acquired the Aristospan NDA s in September 2024 to assist with our Cingal regulatory filing with the FDA. In parallel, we are exploring the potential to advance Cingal through commercial partnerships in the U.S. and select Asian markets. Other unforeseen future developments could have a substantial negative impact on the timeline for and the cost associated with a potential Cingal regulatory approval, our overall business condition, financial results, and competitive position could be affected.

We may experience difficulties or delays in securing regulatory approval for Hyalofast, which could negatively affect our business and financial results.

Added

In July 2025, we announced topline results from our U.S. pivotal FastTRACK Phase III trial of Hyalofast, our single-stage, off-the-shelf, cartilage repair therapy, currently sold only outside the United States. This trial failed to achieve the pre-specified co-primary endpoints, although it did demonstrate consistent improvements in treated patients across all measures of pain and function relative to microfracture. Based on this clinical and other data, we submitted a PMA on October 31, 2025, with the FDA for Hyalofast.

Added

As expected, we received in January 2026 a deficiency letter from the FDA informing us that the Hyalofast PMA lacks information needed to complete its review. Among other things, the letter addressed matters related to chemistry, manufacturing and controls (CMC) and the statistical analysis plan for both primary and secondary endpoints and whether any of these endpoints achieved statistical significance. We plan to continue to engage with the FDA to explore potential approaches to address the FDA’s concerns so that it might complete its review. Although there can be no assurance that we will be able to fully address the FDA’s concerns, we continue to believe the totality of evidence presented in this study and the data from outside the United Sates demonstrates the clinical value of Hyalofast.

Added

Although we believe the totality of the data may be sufficient to support approval, there can be no assurance that the FDA will agree. Failure to achieve the pre-specified co-primary endpoints in the trial could materially negatively impact our ability to obtain regulatory approval or delay a decision by FDA. Moreover, the FDA may determine that any post hoc analyses or alternative endpoints we propose are not sufficient to support approval. Although the FDA may have used similar endpoints for other cartilage repair product approvals in the past, there can be no assurance they will apply the same standards in this case because, among other factors, these endpoints used by the FDA were not part of our original trial design. If the FDA’s review of this submission is delayed, or if we fail to achieve regulatory approval for this product candidate, it would have a material adverse effect on our future revenue and adversely impact our business and financial results, including impairment of our in-process research and development intangible asset.

Added

Any unforeseen developments or delays could have a substantial negative impact on the timeline for and the cost associated with a potential Hyalofast regulatory approval, and our overall business condition, financial results, and competitive position could be affected.

Removed

We also are conducting our clinical trial to support approval in the United States for Hyalofast, our single-stage, off-the-shelf, cartilage repair therapy, currently sold only outside the United States. We have fully enrolled the 200 patients targeted in the trial. This pivotal trial has a two-year follow-up protocol expected to be achieved in early 2025 before regulatory submission is completed. We have filed the first two modules as part of a modular PMA which is the first step in seeking FDA approval for Hyalofast in the United States. The final module of the PMA will be filed in 2025 once the clinical data becomes available to be submitted to the FDA. Any unforeseen developments or delays could have a substantial negative impact on the timeline for and the cost associated with a potential Hyalofast regulatory approval, and our overall business condition, financial results, and competitive position could be affected.

Several of our current products under development, and certain future products we may develop, will require clinical trials to determine their safety and efficacy for marketing approval by regulatory bodies, including the FDA. Product development and clearance or approval within the FDA and international regulatory frameworks takes several years and involves the expenditure of substantial resources. There can be no assurance that the FDA or other regulatory authorities will accept submissions related to our new products or the expansion of the indications of our current products, and, even if submissions are accepted, there can be no guarantee that the FDA or other regulatory authorities will grant clearance or approval for our new products, on a timely basis, if at all. In addition to regulations enforced by the FDA, we are subject to other existing and future federal, state, local, and foreign regulations applicable to product clearance or approval, which may vary significantly across jurisdictions. Additional clearance or approval of existing products may be required when changes to such products may affect the safety and effectiveness, including for new indications for use, labeling changes, process or manufacturing changes, the use of a different facility to manufacture, process or package the product, and changes in performance or design specifications. For our devices that are subject to 510(k) clearances, the FDA requires device manufacturers to make a determination of whether a modification requires a clearance; however, the FDA can review a manufacturer’s decision not to submit for additional clearances. We cannot provide any assurance that the FDA will agree with our decisions not to seek clearances for particular device modifications. If the FDA disagrees, and requires new clearances or approvals for any modifications, and we fail to obtain such approvals or clearances or fail to secure approvals or clearances in a timely manner, we may be required to recall and to stop the manufacturing and marketing of the modified device until we obtain the FDA approval or clearance, and we may be subject to significant regulatory fines or penalties. Failure to obtain regulatory clearance or approvals of our products, including any changes to existing products, could have an adverse material impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Reworded

The FDA and foreign regulatory bodies impose extensive regulations applicable to our operations and products, including regulations governing product and sterilization standards, packaging requirements, labeling requirements, adverse event reporting, quality management system and manufacturing requirements, import restrictions, tariff regulations, duties, and tax requirements. The FDA and other foreign regulatory bodies worldwide conduct periodic inspections of our facilities to determine compliance with the FDA’s requirements and all comparable foreign regulations. We cannot assure you that we will be able to achieve and maintain compliance required for the FDA, CE marking, or other foreign regulatory clearances or approvals for any or all our operations and products or that we will be able to produce our products in a timely and profitable manner while complying with applicable requirements.

Additionally, the implementation of the EU MDRMDR, which was put into effect in 2021, has changed several aspects of the medical device regulatory framework in the EU. Specifically, the EU MDR requires (i) changes in the clinical evidence required for medical devices, (ii) post-market clinical follow-up evidence, (iii) annual reporting of safety information for Class III and Class IIb products, and reporting every two years for Class IIa products, (iv) Unique Device Identification (“UDI”) for all products and submission of core data elements to an EU UDI database prior to placement of a device on the market, (v) reclassification of some medical devices, and (vi) multiple other labeling changes. Approvals for certain of our currently marketed products could be curtailed or withdrawn as a result of the implementation of the EU MDR, and acquiring approvals for new products could be more challenging and costly. The EU MDR requires all devices to undergo review and approval for compliance to EU MDR by the expiry of a transitional period. The original expiry date of May 26, 2024 has been extended to May 26, 20262026, or December 31, 2027 or December 31, 2028 for certain devices, depending on the risk classification of the device, in response to concerns raised about notified body capacity and the ability for devices to be re-certified within the original time period. We have reviewed our products that are sold in the EU market and have completed the product rationalization exercise to identify the products that we will continue to market in the EU. Products we intend to continue marketing require substantial submissions to be made to the notified bodies for a conformity assessment under the EU MDR. We secured certification extensions for several products in accordance with EU MDR transitional guidance. We have achieved EU MDR certification for Monovisc and Hyalofast, and have other products’ submissions either under review, or planned to meet updated certification deadlines. Compliance with this and any other requirements is time consumingtime-consuming and costly, and our failure to comply may subject us to significant liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We are subject to periodic inspections by the FDA and other regulatory bodies related to regulatory requirements that apply to products designed and manufactured, and clinical trials sponsored,sponsored by us. If we receive a notice of inspectional observations or deficiencies from the FDA or other regulatory bodies following an inspection, we may be required to undertake corrective and protective actions or other actions in order to address the FDA or other regulatory bodies concerns which could be expensive and time-consuming to complete and could impose additional burdens and expenses. We have previously received notices of observations or deficiencies from the FDA. Failure to adequately address the FDA’s or other regulatory bodies’ concerns could expose us to enforcement or administrative actions.

Reworded

We have hired experienced clinical development and regulatory staff, and we have also retained the services of knowledgeable external service providers, including consultants and clinical research organizations, to develop and supervise our clinical trials and regulatory processes. Despite our internal investment in staffing, we will remain dependent upon these third-party contract research organizations and consultants to carry out portions of our clinical and preclinicalpre-clinical research studies and regulatory filing assistance for the foreseeable future. As a result, we have had and will have less control over the conduct of the clinical trials, the timing and completion of the trials, the required reporting of adverse events, and the management of data developed through the trials thanthat would be the case if we were relying entirely on our own staff. Outside parties may have staffing difficulties, may undergo changes in priorities or may become financially distressed, adversely affecting their willingness or ability to conduct our trials. Failure by these third parties to comply with regulatory requirements or to meet timing expectations may require us to repeat clinical trials or preclinical studies, which would delay the regulatory clearance or approval process, or require substantial unexpected expenditures.

Reworded

If we are found to have improperly promoted our products for off-labeloff label uses, we may become subject to significant fines and other liability.

Reworded

The FDA and other regulatory agencies strictly regulate the promotional claims that may be made about medical devices and drugs. For example, devices cleared under section 510(k) of the FDCA cannot be marketed for any intended use that is outside of the FDA’s substantial equivalence determination for such devices. Physicians nevertheless may use our products on their patients in a manner that is inconsistent with the intended use cleared by the FDA. If we are found to have promoted such “off-labeloff label” uses, we may become subject to significant government fines and other related liability. In the current administration, the FDA has increased its enforcement scrutiny over prescription drug advertising, particularly direct-to-consumer product promotion and advertising. If the FDA finds any of our promotional communications or advertising to be violative, we may receive an untitled or warning letter, requests for corrective advertising, or fines, amongst other enforcement tools available to the FDA. The federal government has levied large civil and criminal fines against companies for alleged improper promotion and has enjoined several companies from engaging in off-label promotion. The FDA has also requested that companies enter into consent decrees or permanent injunctions under which specified promotional conduct is changed or curtailed.

The sales, marketingmarketing, pricing, and pricingreimbursement practices of productsmedical product companies, and thetheir relationships that medical products companies have with healthcare providers such as physicians, hospitals, ASCs, and othersothers, are undersubject increasedto extensive regulation and enforcement scrutiny. Our industry is subject to various laws and regulations pertaining to healthcare fraud and abuse, as well as other laws that impose extensive tracking and reporting related to all transfers of value provided to certain health care providers and others. These laws include the False Claims Act, the Anti-Kickback Statute, the Stark law, the Physician Payments Sunshine Act, the FDCA, and similar laws and regulations in the United States and around the world. These laws and regulations are broad in scope and are subject to evolving interpretation. Because our products are administered by healthcare providers and reimbursed by government healthcare programs under a “buy-and-bill” model, our pricing, contracting, discounting, reimbursement support, and other arrangements with customers and third parties may be subject to heightened scrutiny under federal and state fraud and abuse laws, including the Anti-Kickback Statute and the False Claims Act. Even arrangements intended to facilitate product access, reimbursement, or patient affordability may be subject to regulatory interpretation or enforcement. We could be required to incur substantial costs to investigate, audit, and monitor compliance or to alter our practices, to the extent that we are subject to government scrutiny under these laws. In addition, we are subject to various laws concerning anti-corruption and anti-bribery matters (including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act), sales to countries or persons subject to economic sanctions and other matters affecting our international operations. Violations of these laws are punishable by criminal and/or civil sanctions, including, in some instances, fines, imprisonment and, within the United States, exclusion from participation in government healthcare programs, including Medicare, Medicaid and Veterans Administration health programs. These laws are administered by, among others, the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Office of Foreign Access Control, the Bureau of Industry and Security of the U.S. Department of Commerce, and state attorneys general. Any failure to comply with these laws could subject us to significant liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

In early 2020, we completed the acquisitions of Parcus Medical and Arthrosurface Incorporated, in which we expanded our product portfolio and pipeline, diversified our business, expanded our commercial infrastructure, entered new markets, and increased the scope of our operations and the number of our employees. In October 2024, we sold the Arthrosurface asset group and in March 2025, we sold the Parcus Medical asset group. This decision was made as the cost to manage these product lines impacted our profitability and took focus away from our core HA relatedHA-related business.

This resulted in additional expenses, the disruption of our ongoing business, processes and systems, or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures, practices, policies and compensation arrangements, which adversely affected our ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisitions. Therethere may be increased risk with the divestitures of these businesses due to diversion of the attention of management created by the divestiture process, disruptions or other difficulties encountered in the divestiture process, and unforeseen liabilities or unanticipated problems with the businesses being sold, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. We are working diligently to complete divestiture associated activities to minimize employee, supplier, distributor, and customer disruptions. The acquisition of these two companies and the related investment in the business have significantly contributed to our net losslosses in recent years.

The trading market for our common stock is influenced by the research and reports that securities or industry analysts may publish about us, our business, our market, or our competitors. No person is under any obligation to publish research or reports on us, and any person publishing research or reports on us may discontinue doing so at any time without notice. If adequate research coverage is not maintained on our company or if any of the analysts who cover us downgrade our stock or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business or provide relatively more favorable recommendations about our competitors, our stock price would likely decline. If any analysts who cover us were to cease coverage of our company or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

In early 2020, we expanded our product portfolio and commercial capabilities through the acquisitions of Parcus Medical, LLC and Arthrosurface Incorporated, adding sports medicine, joint preservation, and instrumentation offerings to our business. In 2024, we refined our strategic focus to prioritize OA Pain Management and regenerative solutions and, consistent with this focus, divested Arthrosurface Incorporated in October 2024 and Parcus Medical, LLC in March 2025.

In early 2020, we expanded our overall technology platform, product portfolio, and significantly expanded our commercial infrastructure, especially in the United States, through our strategic acquisitions of Parcus Medical, LLC, a sports medicine and instrumentation solutions provider, and Arthrosurface Incorporated, a company specializing in bone preserving partial and total joint replacement solutions. These acquisitions augmented our HA-based OA Pain Management and regenerative products with a broad suite of products and capabilities focused on early intervention joint preservation primarily in upper and lower extremities such as shoulder, foot/ankle, knee and hand/wrist.

Our OA Pain Management product family consists of Monovisc and Orthovisc, our injectable, HA-based OA Pain Management offerings that are indicated to provide pain relief from osteoarthritis conditions; and Cingal, our novel, next-generation, single-injection OA Pain Management product consisting of our proprietary cross-linked HA material combined with a fast-acting steroid. Cingal is our next generation fast-acting, long-lasting, non-opioid, clinically proven osteoarthritis pain product which is designed to provide both short- and long-term pain relief, through at least six months. It is currently sold outside the United States in over 3553 countries. In 2022, we completed a third Phase III clinical trial for Cingal, which achieved its primary endpoint. Cingal is currently not approved for commercial use in the United States. We have been actively engaging with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) on next steps for U.S. regulatory approval. We acquired the Aristospan New Drug Application (“NDA”) regulatory approval in the United States in September 2024 to assist with our Cingal regulatory filing with the FDA.

We classify our revenue between the Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”) Channel and the Commercial Channel. In the OEM Channel, we are responsible for development and manufacturing of products sold to our OEM partners governed by long-term agreements, but we do not control sales, marketing, or pricing with end users. In the Commercial Channel, we have full responsibility for sales, marketing, and pricing of products through our commercial leaders, direct sales representatives, and independent distributors. Revenue from our Regenerative Solutions and international OA Pain Management businesses is included in the Commercial Channel.

Added

The following table presents revenue by product family for fiscal years 2025 and 2024 (dollars in thousands):

Added

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $112.8 million, a decrease of $7.1 million, or 6%, compared to the prior year. The decrease in revenue was driven by lower pricing with our OEM channel partners, primarily J&J MedTech.

Added

Revenue from our OEM Channel product family decreased 17% for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to prior year, due to a $12.6 million decrease in J&J MedTech revenue, primarily due to lower pricing contributing $10.0 million of the decrease and lower volumes contributing to $2.6 million of the decrease. There was a $0.8 million decrease in the Non-Orthopedic category revenue with prior year due to lower veterinary sales offset by higher ophthalmic and surgery product sales.

Added

Revenue from our Commercial Channel product family increased 15% for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to prior year, due to international sales growth on Cingal and Orthovisc, offset by lower Monovisc shipments due to manufacturing delays. This sales growth in international OA Pain Management products was primarily related to increased product demand of $3.6 million and minimal change on pricing with international customers. We also continued our full market release of Integrity in the U.S. in 2025 which contributed to a $3.4 million increase during the year ended December 31, 2025 and we had a $0.8 million increase in Hyalofast which is sold only outside of the United States. These increases in international OA Pain Management, Hyalofast and Integrity revenues were offset by a $1.5 million decrease in Tactoset sales during 2025.

Added

Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $63.8 million, or gross margin of 57%, as compared with $76.0 million, or gross margin of 63%, for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2025, primarily resulted from lower revenue, primarily related to OA Pain Management products in the U.S., product channel mix with a higher percentage of international sales which have a lower selling price, increased manufacturing costs and higher inventory reserves.

Added

Research and development costs for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

Added

Research and development external costs for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $11.1 million and $9.7 million, respectively. The increase in research and development external costs was primarily due to increased spending on Cingal regulatory submission activities offset by lower regulatory costs related to EU MDR requirements.

Added

Research and development internal costs for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $14.7 million and $15.8 million, respectively. The decrease in internal research and development costs was primarily due to a reduction in headcount and a $0.1 million gain on the sale of an intangible asset during the year ended December 31, 2025.

Added

For additional information on our research and development activities, please see the section captioned “Part I. Item 1. Business—Research and Development” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Added

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $49.1 million, a decrease of $6.5 million, or 12%, as compared to the prior year. The decrease in SG&A expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 was due primarily to lower general and administrative expenses such as $2.2 million in shareholder activism costs that occurred in prior year, $1.5 decrease in stock-based compensation and the remainder attributable to lower headcount and professional fees. We have been investing and expect to continue to invest in selling and marketing expenses primarily related to our Commercial Channel.

Added

Loss from Continuing Operations

Added

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the loss from continuing operations was $10.0 million, compared to a loss from continuing operations of $8.8 million for the prior year. The $1.2 million decrease in the loss from continuing operations was due to lower revenues, primarily from J&J MedTech offset somewhat by lower operating expenses, primarily related to lower SG&A expenses.

Added

The provision for income taxes was $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, resulting in an effective tax rate of (7.1%). The provision from income taxes was $6.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, resulting in an effective tax rate of (219.4%). The decrease in our effective rate for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024 is primarily due to the fact that we did not incur current income taxes in the United States during the year ended December 31, 2025.

Added

We present certain information with respect to adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”), adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share or adjusted Earnings Per Share (“EPS”), which are financial measures not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), and is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Added

We have presented adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, because they are key measures used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our operating performance and to develop operational goals for managing our business. We believe these financial measures help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses that we exclude. We believe that the exclusion of these items in calculating these measures can provide a useful tool for period-to-period comparisons of our core operating performance. Accordingly, we believe that these measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allowing for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics used by our management in their financial and operational decision-making.

Added

The following is a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net loss from operations for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 respectively:

Added

Adjusted EBITDA for year ended December 31, 2025 was $5.3 million, a decrease of $10.2 million as compared to 2024. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower revenues, primarily related to J&J MedTech and lower gross profit due to higher inventory reserves and manufacturing costs.

Added

We present information below with respect to adjusted net loss and adjusted EPS from continuing operations. We define adjusted net loss from continuing operations as our net loss from continuing operations excluding amortization and depreciation of acquired assets, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, as well as certain impairment charges, including impairment related to IPR&D assets and non-cash product rationalization charges, each on a tax effected basis. Acquisition-related expenses are those that we would not have incurred except as a direct result of acquisition transactions. The amortized assets contribute to revenue generation and the amortization of such assets will recur in future periods until such assets are fully amortized. These assets include the estimated fair value of certain identified assets acquired in acquisitions, including in-process research and development (“IPR&D”), developed technology, customer relationships and acquired trade names. We define adjusted EPS from continuing operations as U.S. GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations excluding the above adjustments to net loss from continuing operations used in calculating adjusted net loss from continuing operations, each on a per share and tax effected basis.

Added

The following is a reconciliation of adjusted net income from continuing operations to net loss from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively:

Added

The following is a reconciliation of adjusted diluted income from continuing operations per share to diluted loss from continuing operations per share for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively (in thousands, expect per share data):

Added

Adjusted net income from continuing operations in 2025 was $1.6 million, a decrease of $0.8 million as compared to 2024. The decrease in adjusted net income from continuing operations and adjusted diluted income from continuing operations per share for the period was primarily due to lower revenues and higher manufacturing expenses during the year.

Removed

During the year ended December 31, 2024, we changed our classification of revenue. We previously disclosed revenue in three categories: OA Pain Management, Joint Preservation and Restoration and Non-Orthopedic. As a result of a change in strategic focus announced by us in 2024, revenue classification was delineated to provide the investment community a clear view to our value drivers. Revenue has been split between the Commercial Channel and the Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”) Channel. In the Commercial Channel, we have full responsibility for sales, marketing, and pricing of products through our commercial leaders, direct sales representatives, and independent distributors. Revenue from our Regenerative Solutions and international OA Pain Management businesses is included in the Commercial Channel. In the OEM Channel, we are responsible for development and manufacturing of products sold to our OEM partners governed by long-term agreements, but we do not control sales, marketing, or pricing with end users. Revenue from our U.S. OA Pain Management business and the Non-Orthopedic business is now included in the OEM Channel. All other revenue is reported in the Commercial Channel.

Reworded

Revenue from our OEM Channel product family decreased 8% for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to prior year, due to lower J&J MedTech revenue, mostlyprimarily relateddue to Orthovisclower volumes resulting in a decrease of $4.3 million and lower pricing contributing to a $1.6 million decrease and the discontinuation of certain non-orthopedic products.products resulting in a decrease of $1.1 million.

Reworded

Revenue from our Commercial Channel product family increased 17% for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to prior year, due to an international sales growth on all our main OA Pain Management products (Monovisc, Cingal and Orthovisc). This sales growth for international OA Pain Management products was primarily related to increased product demand of $4.3 million and minimal change on pricing with international customers. We also launched a full market release of Integrity in the U.S. in 2024 which contributed to a $1.7 million increase in regenerative product sales during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Added

Research and development costs for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

Reworded

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $55.6 million, a decrease of $4.4 million, or 7%, as compared to the prior year.

Removed

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $120.8 million, an increase of $7.0 million, or 6%, compared to the prior year. The increase in revenue was driven by growing global commercial adoption of our OA Pain Management products as well as our introduction of new products in recent years.

Removed

Revenue from our OEM channel product family increased 4% for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to prior year, due to domestic sales growth of our Monovisc single injection pain product and favorable ordering patterns from J&J MedTech.

Removed

Revenue from our Commercial Channel product family increased 12% for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to prior year, due to international sales growth of our Monovisc single injection pain product and our Cingal next generation non-opioid single injection pain product, as well as favorable ordering patterns from our distributors.

Removed

Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $82.5 million, or gross margin of 68%, as compared with $73.2 million, or gross margin of 64%, for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily resulted from higher revenue growth, improved manufacturing efficiency and lower product rationalization charges. This increase was partially offset by higher costs due to inflationary pressures for raw materials and freight charges.

Removed

Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2023 were $21.8 million, an increase of $3.5 million, or 19%, as compared to the prior year, primarily due to increased costs to ensure compliance with growing regulatory requirements globally, such as EU MDR, as well as new product development associated with our research and development pipeline, led by Integrity, which received FDA clearance in August 2023 and was launched with first surgeries in rotator cuff repair and other tendon procedures in November 2023.

Removed

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the year ended December 31, 2023 were $59.9 million, an increase of $8.7 million, or 17%, as compared to the prior year. The increase in SG&A expenses for the year ended December 31, 2023 was primarily due to shareholder activism and related corporate costs during the year.

Income from Operations

Removed

For the year ended December 31, 2023, the loss from operations was $0.8 million, compared to income from operations of $3.7 million for the prior year. The $2.8 million decrease in income from operations was due higher operating expenses.

We have historically derived the majoritymost of our revenue from a small number of customers, most of whom resell our products to end-users and are significantly larger companies than us. For the year ended December 31, 2024,2025, J&J MedTech accounted for 57%50% of revenue, as compared to 62%57% in prior year. While we believe that our expanded commercial infrastructure has been and will continue to diversify our revenue base, we expect to continue to be dependent on a small number of large customers, especially J&J MedTech, for a sizeable portion of our revenues in the near-term future. The failure of these customers to purchase our products in the amounts they historically have or in amounts that we expect could materially impact our business.

We are a global leader in the design, development, manufacturing,manufacturing and commercialization of hyaluronic acid, or HAHA, innovations. In partnership with our clinicians, our sole focus is dedicated to delivering and advancing osteoarthritis, or OAOA, pain management,management and orthopedic regenerative solutions. At our core is a passion to deliver a differentiated portfolio that improves patient outcomes around the world.

Reworded

We have over thirty30 years of global expertise developing, manufacturing and commercializing products based on our technology platform, HA. HA is a naturally occurring polymer found throughout the body that is vital for proper joint health and tissue function. Our proprietary technologies for modifying the HA molecule allow product properties to be tailored specifically to multiple uses, including enabling longer residence time to support OA pain management and creating a solid form of HA called Hyaff, which is a platform utilized in our Regenerative Solutions portfolio.

Reworded

Our OA Pain Management product family consists of Monovisc and Orthovisc, our injectable, HA-based OA pain management offerings that are indicated to provide pain relief from OAosteoarthritis conditions; and Cingal, our novel, single-injection OA Pain Management product consisting of our proprietary cross-linked HA material combined with a fast-acting steroid.

Reworded

Cingal is our next generation fast-acting, long-lasting, non-opioid, clinically proven OA pain product that is designed to provide both short- and long-term pain relief through at least six months. It is currently sold outside the United States in over 35 countries. In 2022, we completed a third Phase III3 clinical trial for Cingal, which achieved its primary endpoint. We have been actively engaging with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA, on next steps for U.S. regulatory approval. We have made significant progress in addressing the FDA's requirements for Cingal's approval. In April 2023, we held a Type-C meeting with the FDA, which led to an advice letter received from the FDA in April 2024. The letter included positive feedback and new challenges that we are actively addressing. We also received confirmation that the clinical data for Cingal is a review issue and not a filing issue. Additionally, in September 2024, we acquired the Aristospan New Drug Application, or NDA, which allowed us to address a recent FDA requirement and will enable us to source the reference drug for a bioequivalence study. In April 2025, we subsequently sold the Aristospan NDA to a third-party manufacturer who will supply the reference drug for the bioequivalence study. We had another Type-C meeting with the FDA in February 2025 to discuss finalizing NDA submission requirements, including bioequivalence study requirements. TheWe preclinicalare continuing to advance NDA preparation activities and bioequivalenceare studiesworking havetowards beena initiated.submission to the FDA. Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls (“CMC”) activities required for approval of HA as a drug remain a key milestone in the regulatory pathway and are expected to be a primary focus as we advance toward filing. While we remain confident in the clinical profile and commercial opportunity for Cingal, the timing of any potential NDA submission or regulatory approval remains subject to the completion of these development and regulatory requirements. We are committed to bringing this revolutionary pain management therapy to the approximate $1 billion U.S. addressable market.

Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations

Added

For the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2026, the income (loss) from continuing operations was $3.3 million and ($1.7) million, respectively. For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025, the loss from continuing operations was $4.6 million and $8.6 million, respectively. The increase in the income from continuing operations was primarily due to higher revenue and increased manufacturing production and efficiency.

Removed

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, the loss from continuing operations was $5.1 million, compared to a loss from continuing operations of $4.0 million for the same period in 2025.

The income tax expense was $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026, resulting in effective tax rates of 2.1% and (21.2) %, respectively. The income tax expense was $0.7 million and $0.8 million for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025, resulting in an effective tax rate of (17.2) % and (9.8) %, respectively. The decrease in income tax expense was due to lower taxable income expected in the U.S. in 2026 due to the ability to deduct more research and development costs. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026, was primarily driven by the full valuation on the Company's deferred tax assets in the US and the projected taxable income for the Company resulting in current tax expense in 2026.

We present certain information with respect to adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization, or EBITDA, adjusted net incomeincome, (loss), from continuing operations, and adjusted diluted earnings per share or adjusted EPS, which are financial measures not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, and are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Reworded

We have presented adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, (loss) from continuing operations, and adjusted EPS, because they are key measures used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our operating performance and to develop operational goals for managing our business. We believe these financial measures help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses that we exclude. In particular, we believe that the exclusion of these items in calculating these measures can provide a useful tool for period-to-period comparisons of our core operating performance. Accordingly, we believe that these measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allowing for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics used by our management in their financial and operational decision-making.

Reworded

We present information below with respect to adjusted EBITDA, which we define as our net income (loss) from continuing operations excluding interest and other (income), expense, net, provision for income tax,tax benefit (provision), depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, and severance costs and non-recurring professional fees.costs.

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to use judgment in making estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We believe that our accounting policies for revenue recognition, accounts receivable and allowance for credit losses, goodwill, acquired in-process research and development, inventory and contingencies are based on, among other things, judgments and assumptions made by management that include inherent risks and uncertainties. There have been no significant changes to the above critical accounting policies or in the underlying accounting assumptions and estimates used in such policies from those disclosed in our annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our 2025 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.10-K. We monitor our estimates on an ongoing basis for changes in facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates could occur in the future. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates if past experience or other assumptions do not turn out to be substantially accurate.
