We may face increased cybersecurity risks due to our reliance on internet technology and the number of our employees who are working remotely, which may create additional opportunities for cybercriminals to exploit vulnerabilities. If we, or third parties on whom we rely, fail to maintain or protect our information systems and dataintegrityeffectively, we could lose existing customers, have difficulty attracting new customers, suffer backlash from negative public relations, experience increased regulatory scrutiny or have regulatory sanctions or penalties imposed, have increases in operating expenses, incur expenses or lose revenues as a result of a data privacy incident (including from class action settlements or awards), or suffer other adverse consequences (including from litigation, class action settlements, or awards), have increased cybersecurity protection and insurance costs, miss reporting deadlines, or suffer other adverse consequences. For example, a vulnerability affecting a third-party provider’s enterprise software we use was exploited in a threat actor campaign that affected numerous of the third-party provider’s customers. As a result, we have an ongoing investigation to assess the nature and scope of any impacted Company data. Several putative class action lawsuits also have been filed relating to this incident, including against us, and additional litigation, regulatory inquiries, or claims may arise and we cannot predict the ultimate outcome, scope or impact of this matter.
State, federal and foreign laws, such as HIPAA, Section 5 of the FTC Act, or the California Consumer Privacysee in full comparisonAct, as amended by the CCPA,Act and other similar state laws regulate the confidentiality of personal information, including sensitive information and the circumstances under which such information may be released. These measures may govern the disclosure and use of personal and patient medical record information and may require users of such information to implement specified securitymeasures,measures and to notify individuals in the event of privacy and cybersecurity incidents. Evolving laws and regulations in this area could restrict the ability of our customers to obtain, use or disseminate patient information, or could require us to incur additional costs to re-design our products in a timely manner, either of which could have an adverse impact on our results of operations. Other health information standards, such as regulations under HIPAA and FDA guidance and requirements, establish standards regarding device security, electronic health data transmissions and transaction code set rules for specified electronic transactions, for example transactions involving submission of claims to third-party payors. These standards also continue to evolve and are often unclear and difficult to apply. We have incurred and expect that we will continue to incur costs implementing additional security measures to protect against new or enhanced data security or privacy threats, or to comply with current and new federal, state and international laws governing data privacy and cybersecurity which arecontinuouslyfrequently being enacted and proposed. Moreover, as a result of the broad scale release and availability of AI technologies such as generative AI, there is a global trend towards more regulation (e.g., the EU AI Act and AI laws passed in U.S. states) designed to ensure the ethical use, privacy, and security of AI and the data that it processes. Compliance with such laws will likely be an increasing and substantial cost in the future. Outside the U.S., we are also impacted by privacy and data security requirements at the international, national and regional level, and on an industry specific basis.More privacy and cybersecurity laws and regulations are being adopted and enforced, with the potential for financial penalties. The EU GDPR, including as implemented in the UK, applies across the EU and includes, among other things, a requirement for prompt notice of data breaches to data subjects and supervisory authorities in certain circumstances as well as requirements prior to transferring personal data to other jurisdictions. The GDPR also requires companies processing personal data of individuals in the EU to comply with EU data protection rules. The GDPR, and its United Kingdom equivalent, is also influential for a growing number of jurisdictions who have adopted, or contemplated adoption, of similar data protection laws. Failure to maintain the confidentiality of personal data in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements, or to abide by electronic health data transmission standards, could expose us to breach of contract claims, regulatory fines and penalties, litigation expenses, costs for remediation and harm to our reputation.
We have programs, processes (including ongoing improvements) and technologies in place to prevent, detect, contain, respond to and mitigatesee in full comparisonsecuritycybersecurity related threats and potential incidents. Because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or interrupt services change frequently and can be difficult to detect, anticipating, identifying or preventing these threats or mitigating them if and when they occur, may be challenging. And as increased regulatory compliance for cybersecurity protocols and disclosures are required or expected by regulatory authorities, there is no guarantee that the increased amount of resources, both time and expense, will not adversely affect our business, or that a court or regulator will agree that the measures we have put in place are reasonable, appropriate, or adequate. Further, adoption of artificial intelligence (“AI”) tools by us or by third parties may pose new cybersecurity challenges. Threat actors may use AI tools to automate and enhance cybersecurity attacks against us. We use software and platforms designed to detect such cybersecurity threats but these threats could become more sophisticated and harder to detect and counteract, which may pose significant risks to our data security and systems. We are also dependent on third party vendors to supply and/or support certain aspects of our information technology systems which may contain defects in design or manufacture or other problems that could result in system disruption or unexpectedly compromise the information security of our own systems. In addition, as we grow in part through new acquisitions we may face risks due to implementation, modification, or remediation of controls, procedures, and policies relating to data privacy and cybersecurity at the acquired business that may or may not have been identified as part of due diligence or encounter issues as part of integration. We continue to consolidate and integrate the number of information systems we operate, and to upgrade and expand our information system capabilities for stable and secure business operations.DespiteWhile we have obtained cybersecurity insurance, there are no assurances that the coverage would be adequate in relation to any incurred losses. Moreover, as cyber attacks increase in frequency and magnitude, we may be unable to obtain cybersecurity insurance in amounts and on terms we view as adequate for ourimplementationoperationsof controls to protect our systems and information, we remain vulnerable to cybersecurity incidents such as theft, misplaced, lost or corrupted data, employee errors and/or malfeasance (including misappropriation by departing employees), ransomware, and evolving attacks such as within theassistance of the use of AI tools or involving open source software vulnerabilities, that could potentially lead to the compromising of sensitive, confidential or personal data or information, improper use of our systems, software solutions or networks, unauthorized access, use, disclosure, modification or destruction of information, defective products, production downtimes and operational disruptions. In addition, a cybersecurity incident could result in other negative consequences, including damage to our reputation or competitiveness, remediation or increased protection costs, litigation or regulatory action.future.

Uncertainty about global economic and geopolitical conditions may also cause decreased demand for our products and services and increased competition, which could result in lower sales volume and downward pressure on the prices for our products, longer sales cycles, and slower adoption of new technologies. Such conditions may also constrain the liquidity of hospitals and other customers or limit their access to financing, which could further delay or reduce capital equipment purchases. A weakening of macroeconomic conditions may also adversely affect our suppliers, which could result in interruptions in supply. In addition, heightened macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty may impair our ability to accurately forecast demand and plan our business and operational activities.
“Our international operations increase our compliance risk, as such operations subject us to laws regarding sanctioned countries, entities and persons, customs, import-export, laws regarding transactions in foreign countries, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and local anti-bribery and other laws regarding interactions with healthcare professionals, and product registration requirements. Among other things, these laws restrict, and in some cases prevent, U.S. companies from directly or indirectly selling goods, technology or services to people or entities in certain countries. …”see in full comparison

Our business faces significant risks. These risks include those described below and may include additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial. Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks, and the trading prices of our common stock could decline by virtue of these risks. Some of the factors, events and contingencies discussed below may have occurred in the past, but the disclosures below are not representations as to whether or not the factors, events or contingencies have occurred in the past and instead reflect our beliefs and opinions as to the factors, events or contingencies that could materially and adversely affect our business in the future.
The United States and foreign countries have experienced recessionary pressures and face continued concerns about the systemic impacts of adverse economic conditions and geopolitical issues. Any negative impact on economic conditions and international markets, including increased geopolitical instability and other macroeconomic factors, including heightened inflation, trade barriers and related restrictions (including tariffs and related countermeasures), import or export licensing requirements, armed conflict and acts of terrorism, geopolitical tension and instability, supply chain disruptions, interest rate and foreign currency rate fluctuations, and volatility in the capital markets could negatively impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Continued concerns about the systemic impact of potential long-term and wide-spread recession and geopolitical issues, including wars, such as the war between Russia and Ukraine and the conflicts in the Middle East involving Israel, and acts of terrorism, have contributed to increased market volatility and diminished expectations for economic growth in the world. Our business and results of operations have been and may continue to be adversely impacted by changes in macroeconomic conditions, including inflation, rising interest rates, bank failures and the accessibility of capital markets. Uncertainty about global economic and geopolitical conditions may also cause decreased demand for our products and services and increased competition, which could result in lower sales volume and downward pressure on the prices for our products, longer sales cycles, and slower adoption of new technologies.

A weakening of macroeconomic conditions may also adversely affect our suppliers, which could result in interruptions in supply. In addition, heightened macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty may impair our ability to accurately forecast demand and plan our business and operational activities.
Market acceptance of our medical products in the U.S. and other countries is dependent upon the medical equipment purchasing and procurement practices of our customers, patient need for our products and procedures and the reimbursement of patients' medical expenses by government healthcare programs and third-party payors. The continuing uncertainty surrounding global economic conditions and financial markets may cause the purchasers of medical equipment to decrease their procurement activities.activities, particularly the sales of capital equipment such as our ultrasonic surgical aspirators, neuro monitors and cranial stabilization products. Economic uncertainty, an increase in unemployment rates, as well as increasing health insurance premiums, co-payments and deductibles may adversely affect demand for our products and elective or non-reimbursed procedures. Furthermore, governments and other third-party payors around the world facing tightening budgets could move to further reduce the reimbursement rates or the scope of coverage offered, which could adversely affect the sales of our products.

There is intense competition among medical device companies. We compete with established medical technology companies in many of our products. Competition also comes from early-stage companies, universities, research institutions and other non-profit entities. In certain cases, our products compete primarily against medical practices that treat a condition without using a device or any particular product, such as the medical practices that use autograft tissue instead of our dermal regeneration products, duraplasty products and nerve repair products, or that use other technologies that cost less than our products. Many of our competitors have access to greater financial, technical, research and development, marketing, manufacturing, sales, distribution, administrative, consulting and other resources than we do. Our competitors may be more effective at developing commercial products or navigating the regulatory approval process in the markets in which we operate.

We cannot guarantee that any of our acquisitions, investments or alliances will be successful.
We seek to supplement our internal growth through strategic acquisitions, investments and alliances. Such transactions are inherently risky, and the integration of any newly-acquired business requires significant effort and management attention. The success of any acquisition, investment or alliance may be affected by a number of factors, including our ability to properly assess and value the potential business opportunity or to successfully integrate any business we may acquire into our existing business. Even if the operations of an acquired business are integrated successfully, we may not realize the full benefits of such acquisition, including the synergies, cost savings or sales or growth opportunities, that we expect. There can be no assurance that any past or future transaction will be successful.
Our current strategy involves growth through acquisitions, which requires us to incur substantial costs and potential liabilities for which we may never realize the anticipated benefits, and also requires us to successfully integrate acquired businesses into our business operations in order to avoid our business being materially and adversely affected.
In addition to internally generated growth, our current strategy involves growth through acquisitions. Between January 1, 2022 and December 31, 2024, we have acquired two businesses at a total cost of approximately $329.3 million, which includes our acquisition of Surgical Innovation Associates, Inc. for $51.5 million in December 2022 and our acquisition of Acclarent, Inc. for $277.8 million in April 2024. In addition, on October 2, 2024, we acquired the product rights for Durepair® Regeneration Matrix for total consideration of $45.0 million. These acquisitions added products to our plastic and reconstructive surgery, ENT, neurosurgery and complex wound management product portfolios and provides additional growth opportunities for our TT segment.
We may be unable to continue to implement our growth strategy and it may ultimately be unsuccessful. A significant portion of our growth in revenues has resulted from, and is expected to continue to result from, the acquisition of businesses or products complementary to our own. We engage in evaluations of potential acquisitions and are in various stages of discussion regarding possible acquisitions, certain of which, if consummated, could be significant to us. Any new acquisition could result in material transaction expenses, increased operating, amortization and interest expenses, and possible in-process research and development charges for acquisitions that do not meet the definition of a “business”, any of which could have a material, adverse effect on our operating results. Certain businesses that we acquire may not have adequate financial, disclosure, regulatory, quality or other compliance controls at the time we acquire them and could require significant expenditures to address those controls or subject us to increased risk. As we grow by acquisition, we must manage and integrate the new businesses to bring them into our systems for financial, disclosure, compliance, regulatory and quality control, realize economies of scale, and control costs. Failure to integrate acquired businesses and operations (including acquired employees and systems), retain key customers and suppliers of any acquired business or manage the cost of providing our products or price our products appropriately could preclude realization of the full benefits that we expect from there transactions. Our failure to meet the challenges involved in integrating the business in order to realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisitions could cause an interruption of, or loss of momentum in, our activities and could materially and adversely affect our results of operations. In addition, acquisitions involve other risks, including diversion of management resources otherwise available for the running of our business and the development of our business as well as risks associated with entering markets in which our marketing teams and sales force has limited experience or where experienced distribution alliances are not available. Some acquisitions may include the need for ongoing product development to occur consistent with time sensitive milestones in order for the Company to achieve its commercial projections for the acquisition. Our future profitability will depend in part upon our ability to develop our resources to adapt to these new products or business areas and to identify and enter into or maintain satisfactory distribution networks. As a result of our acquisitions of other healthcare businesses, we may be subject to the risk of unanticipated business uncertainties, regulatory and other compliance matters or legal liabilities relating to those acquired businesses for which the sellers of the acquired businesses may not indemnify us, for which we may not be able to obtain insurance (or adequate insurance), or for which the indemnification may not be sufficient to cover the ultimate liabilities. We may not be able to identify suitable acquisition candidates in the future, obtain acceptable financing or consummate any future acquisitions. Certain potential acquisitions are subject to antitrust and competition laws that could impact our ability to pursue strategic acquisitions and could result in mandated divestitures. If we are unsuccessful in our acquisition strategy, we may be unable to meet our financial targets and our financial performance could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, dispositions of certain key products, technologies and other rights, including pursuant to conditions imposed on us to obtain regulatory approvals, may affect our business operations.
These risks may be heightened in cases where a substantial portion of an acquired businesses’ operations, employees or customers are located outside the U.S. Any one or all of these factors could complicate the integration of acquired employees and operations, increase operating costs or lower anticipated financial performance. Many of these factors are also outside of our control. For example, the conflicts in the Middle East involving Israel, including any escalation or expansion thereof, and the measures enacted by the Israeli and other governments in response, may make it more difficult for us to both integrate Acclarent and realize the anticipated benefits of that acquisition.
Even if the operations of an acquired business are integrated successfully, we may not realize the full benefits of such acquisition, including the synergies, cost savings or sales or growth opportunities, that we expect. These benefits may not be achieved within the anticipated time frame, or at all. Additional unanticipated costs could be incurred in the integration of a business. All of these factors could cause a reduction to our earnings per share, decrease or delay the expected accretive effect of a transaction, and negatively impact the price of our common stock.
Our global business exposes us to operationalcertain operational, compliance and economic risks.
A significant portion of our current operations are conducted and located outside the United States, and our growth strategy involves expanding our existing foreign operations and entering into new foreign jurisdictions. We have significant manufacturing and distribution sites in North America, Europe, China and Japan.
Our international operations subject us to laws regarding sanctioned countries, entities and persons, customs, import-export, laws regarding transactions in foreign countries, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and local anti-bribery and other laws regarding interactions with healthcare professionals, and product registration requirements. Among other things, these laws restrict, and in some cases prevent, U.S. companies from directly or indirectly selling goods, technology or services to people or entities in certain countries. In addition, these laws require that we exercise care in structuring our sales and marketing practices and effecting product registrations in foreign countries.
A significant portion of our current operations are conducted and located outside the United States, and our growth strategy involves expanding our existing foreign operations and entering into new foreign jurisdictions. We have significant manufacturing and distribution sites in North America, Europe, China and Japan. Our acquisition of Acclarent resulted in our acquiring research-and-development facilities and personnel located in Israel. As we seek to continue to expand and strengthen our international operations, we may experience difficulty in growing our sales in certain new markets and other international markets in which we are attempting to increase our presence due to, among other things, customer acceptance, undeveloped and/or unfamiliar distribution channels, regulatory restrictions and changes, and business knowledge of these markets.
The success of our operations outside the U.S. also depends, in part, on our ability to make necessary infrastructure enhancements to, among other things, our production facilities and sales and distribution networks, and our strategic staffing plans required to support our international operations. These and other factors may adversely impact our ability to pursue our growth strategy in these markets.
Our international operations increase our compliance risk, as such operations subject us to laws regarding sanctioned countries, entities and persons, customs, import-export, laws regarding transactions in foreign countries, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and local anti-bribery and other laws regarding interactions with healthcare professionals, and product registration requirements. Among other things, these laws restrict, and in some cases prevent, U.S. companies from directly or indirectly selling goods, technology or services to people or entities in certain countries. In addition, these laws require that we exercise care in structuring our sales and marketing practices and effecting product registrations in foreign countries. Global enforcement of anti-corruption and bribery laws has increased substantially in recent years, with more enforcement proceedings by foreign governmental agencies and the imposition of significant fines and penalties. While we have implemented policies, procedures and training related to compliance with these laws, our international operations, which often involve customer relationships with foreign governments, create the risk that there may be unauthorized payments or offers of payments made by employees, consultants, sales agents or distributors. Any alleged or actual violations of these laws may subject us to government investigations and significant criminal or civil sanctions and other liabilities, and negatively affect our reputation which could result in a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
The current tensions in international trade and rising international political tensions and uncertainties may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Our operations and performance are significantly impacted by global, regional and U.S. economic and geopolitical conditions and increased trade barriers, including tariffs, from the U.S., China, the EU or other nations could materially adversely affect our business. The current tariff environment is dynamic and uncertain, as the U.S. government has imposed, modified and paused tariffs multiple times since the beginning of 2025. Changes to tariffs and other trade restrictions can be announced at any time with little or no notice. Additionally, potential tariffs or other U.S. trade policy measures have already prompted, and may prompt further, retaliatory actions by other countries, including by countries that are significant markets for our products, such as China. In addition, the U.S. Department of Commerce recently initiated an investigation under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended, into (among other things) imports of personal protective equipment, medical consumables and medical equipment (including devices), to determine whether they threaten U.S. national security, which further creates policy uncertainty in terms of tariffs.
The use of tariffs as a policy tool has created significant uncertainty about the future trading relationship among the U.S., China, the EU, Canada, Mexico and other exporting countries, including with respect to trade policies, treaties, government regulations and tariffs, and has led to concerns regarding the potential for extended trade barriers. The escalation of trade tensions could impact us in a variety of ways, including increases in manufacturing costs, disruptions or delays to our global supply chain, limitations on our ability to sell our products; and reductions in sales volumes and gross margins for our products, any of which could materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Political uncertainty surrounding trade and other international disputes could also have a negative effect on customer confidence and spending, including capital equipment purchases by hospitals and some of our other customers. Changing our operations in accordance with new or changed trade restrictions may be expensive, time-consuming, disruptive to our operations and distracting to management. Further, such trade barriers could also lead to fluctuations in both the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies and our financial results may be materially adversely affected by such fluctuations.
Changes in U.S. and international trade policies, particularly with respect to China, may adversely impact our business and operating results.
From time to time, proposals are made to significantly change existing trade agreements and relationships between the U.S. and other countries. In recent years, the U.S. government has implemented substantial changes to U.S. trade policies, including import restrictions, increased import tariffs and changes in U.S. participation in multilateral trade agreements, such as the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement to replace the former North American Free Trade Agreement.
The ongoing global economic competition and trade tensions between the U.S. and China has resulted in the U.S. government assessing supplemental tariffs on certain goods imported from China and China’s assessment of retaliatory tariffs on certain imports of U.S. goods into China. It is unknown whether and to what extent new tariffs, export controls, or other new laws or regulations will be adopted, or the effect that any such actions would have on us or our industry. For example, the recently proposed BIOSECURE Act targets U.S. government contracts, grants, and loans for entities that use equipment and services from certain named Chinese biotech companies, and authorize the U.S. government to name additional Chinese biotechnology companies of concern. If the bill becomes law, or similar laws are passed, they would have the potential to severely restrict the ability of companies to work with certain Chinese biotechnology companies of concern without losing the ability to contract with, or otherwise receive funding from, the U.S. government.
Since we have operations based outside the U.S. and we generate revenues and incur operating expenses in multiple foreign currencies, we experience currency exchange risk with respect to those foreign currency-denominated revenues and expenses. Our most significant currency exchange risk relates to transactions conducted in Australian dollars,Euros, British pounds, Swiss francs, Canadian dollars, Chinese yuan, Euros, Japanese yen, Israeli shekel, Australian dollars and SwissChinese francs.yuan.
We are required to test both goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis based upon a fair value approach, rather than amortizing them over time. We are also required to test goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs such as a significant decline in revenues or cash flows for certain products, or the discount rates used in the calculations of discounted cash flows change significantly, or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce our enterprise fair value below its book value. If such a decline, rate change or circumstance were to materialize, we may record an impairment of these intangible assets that could be material to the financial statements. SeeFor example, during the second quarter of 2025 we recognized an aggregate charge of $511.4 million in goodwill impairment expense in our consolidated statement of operations following our completion of a quantitative assessment of our Tissue Technologies, Neurosurgery, and Instruments and ENT reporting units in accordance with ASC 350. The quantitative assessment was initiated following the decrease in the price per share of our common stock related to a number of factors including recent tariff changes that have created broad economic uncertainty and the impact of quality, operational, and supply issues. For more information concerning the goodwill impairment charge we recorded in 2025 and related matters, please see Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Estimates” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, and Note 7. Goodwill and Other Intangibles to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K).
We rely on independent suppliers and third-party providers in our supply chain for raw materials, packaging materials and components, sterilization services, and some finished goods; we could experience inventory shortages if any of these suppliers encounter a manufacturing or distribution disruption.
Lack of market acceptance for our products or market preference for technologies that compete with our products could reduce our revenues and profitability.
Market acceptance of our products depends on many factors, including our ability to convince prospective customers that our technology is an attractive alternative to other technologies, to manufacture products in sufficient quantities and at acceptable costs, and to supply and service sufficient quantities of our products directly or through our distribution alliances. For example, the use of autograft tissue is a well-established means for repairing the dermis, and it competes for acceptance in the market with our collagen-based wound care products. In addition, unfavorable payment amounts or adverse coverage determinations of private and public health insurers, such as Medicare and Medicaid, and foreign governmental health systems, regarding our products or third-party determinations that favor a competitor’s product over ours, could harm acceptance or continued use of our products. For example, greater market acceptance of our wound graft products may ultimately depend on our ability to demonstrate that coverage and reimbursement are available and favorable, or because they are an attractive, cost-effective alternative to other treatment options.
If there are negative events in the healthcare industry, whether real or perceived, there could be a negative impact on the industry as a whole. The industry is subject to rapid and continuous change arising from, among other things, consolidation, technological improvements, the pressure on governments, third-party payors and providers to reduce healthcare costs, and healthcare reform legislation and initiatives domestically and internationally. In addition, our future success depends, in part, on our ability to license and develop additional products. Even if we determine that a product candidate has medical benefits, the cost of commercializing, either through internal development or payments associated with licensing arrangements, could be too high to justify development and we could ultimately face competitors with more effective products and better reimbursement status that cost less and are ready for commercial introduction before our products. If we are unable to develop additional commercially viable products, our future prospects could be materially and adversely affected.
One or more of these factors could vary unpredictably, and such variations could have a material, adverse effect on our competitive position. We may not be able to adjust our contemplated plan of development to meet changing market demands.
It could be difficult to replace some of our suppliers.
Outside vendors, some of whom are sole-source suppliers, provide key componentscomponents, raw materials, packaging materials and rawcomponents, materialssterilization services, and some finished goods used in the manufacture of our products. Although we believe that alternative sources for many of these componentscomponents, raw materials, packaging materials and rawsome materialsfinished goods are available, any interruption in supply of a limited or sole-source component or raw material could harm our ability to manufacture our products until a new or alternative source of supply is identified and qualified. In addition, an uncorrected defect or supplier’s variation in a component or raw material, either unknown to us or incompatible with our manufacturing process, could harm our ability to manufacture products and create inventory shortages of our products. We may not be able to find a sufficient alternative supplier 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. We believe that these factors are most likely to affect the following products that we sell:
For example, in 2025, we initiated voluntary recalls of our MediHoney products due to a variety of packaging failures which compromised the sterility of such products. Although MediHoney supply resiliency has been incorporated into our broader CMP efforts to strengthen our supply chains, a definitive relaunch date for our MediHoney products remains unknown at this time.
Our supply chain and our cost of goods also may be negatively impacted by unanticipated price increases due to factors such as global economic disruptions, electronic component shortages, trade wars, inflation, including wage inflation, recessionary conditionsconditions, geopolitical conflict and geopolitical events,instability, including thewars warand inacts Ukraine,of the conflicts in the Middle East involving Israelterrorism, and fear of future or ongoing pandemics, all of which are beyond our control or the control of our suppliers.
While it is our policy to maintain sufficient inventory of components so that our production will not be significantly disrupted even if a particular component or material is not available for a period of time, we remain at risk that we will not be able to qualify new components or materials quickly enough to prevent a disruption if one or more of our suppliers ceases production of important componentscomponents, materials or materials.sterilization services.
In recent years, we consolidated several facilities or transferred manufacturing operations (including between third parties, from third parties to our existing internal manufacturing facilities, and from our existing manufacturing facilities to new internal manufacturing facilities) and may further undertake similar consolidations or transfers in the future in order to improve our cost structure, achieve increased operating efficiencies,efficiencies and reliability, and improve our competitive standing or results of operations and/or to address unfavorable economic conditions. For example, in the second quarter of 2024, the Company has announced its plans to operationalize its Braintree, Massachusetts manufacturing facility (the “Braintree facility”) by the first half of 2026 and to transition the restart of the manufacture of PriMatrix and SurgiMend to the Braintree facility rather than attempt to restart the manufacture of these products at the Company’s Boston, Massachusetts manufacturing facility (the “Boston facility”). The consolidation, transfer or operationalization of manufacturing facilities requires such facilities to meet all applicable requirements related to quality control, quality assurance, and the maintenance of records and documentation as required by the FDA and any other applicable regulatory body both before and following the commencement of the manufacture of any approved product at such facility. For more information concerning the regulation related to our products, please refer to the risk factors appearing under the heading “—Risks Related to Our Regulatory Environment” below. As part of these initiatives, we may also lose favorable tax incentives or not be able to renew leases on acceptable terms. We may further reduce staff, make changes to certain capital projects, close certain production operations and abandon leases for certain facilities that will not be used in our operations. In conjunction with any actions, we will continue to make significant investments and build the framework for our future growth. We may not realize, in full or in part, the anticipated benefits and savings from these efforts because of unforeseen difficulties, delays, implementation issues or unexpected costs. If we are unable to achieve or maintain all of the resulting savings or benefits to our business or other unforeseen events occur, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected.
Damage to our manufacturing, distribution, development and/or research facilities because of fire, extreme weather conditions, natural disaster, power loss, communications failure, geopolitical disruption, unauthorized entry or other events, such as a flu or other health epidemic, could significantly disrupt our operations, the operations of suppliers and critical infrastructure and delay or prevent product manufacture and shipment during the time required to repair, rebuild or replace the damaged facilities. Certain of our manufacturing facilities are located in Puerto Rico, which in the past has experienced both severe hurricanes and other natural disasters. Climate change may increase both the frequency and severity of extreme weather conditions and natural disasters and, consequently, risks to our operations and growth. Although we maintain property damage and business interruption insurance coverage on these facilities, our insurance might not cover all losses under such circumstances, and we may not be able to renew or obtain such insurance in the future on acceptable terms with adequate coverage or at reasonable costs. Moreover, climate change may increase both the frequency and severity of extreme weather conditions and natural disasters and, consequently, risks to our operations and growth.
Global supplySupply constraints have and may continue to adversely affect our ability to meet customer demand, and increase our costs to manufacture, transport and warehouse a certain subset of our products. In addition, global supply constraints have resulted in increases to the costs of production of certain of our products that we may not be able to pass on to our customers. We expect these factors will continue to impact us in the future and obtaining alternative sources of raw materials and components could involve significant costs and regulatory challenges and may not be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.
Economic and political instability around the world could adversely affect the ability of hospitals, other customers, suppliers and distributors to access funds or otherwise have available liquidity, which could reduce orders for our products or interrupt our production or distribution or result in a reduction in elective and non-reimbursed operative procedures.
Economic and political instability around the world could adversely affect the ability of hospitals and other customers to access funds to enable them to fund their operating and capital budgets. As a result, hospitals and other customers could reduce budgets or put all or part of their budgets on hold or close their operations, which could have a negative effect on our sales, particularly the sales of capital equipment such as our ultrasonic surgical aspirators, neuro monitors and cranial stabilization products, or result in a reduction in elective and non-reimbursed procedures. The occurrence of those economic conditions could make it more difficult for us to accurately forecast and plan our future business activities and depending on their severity, could have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our medical devices and technologies, development activities and manufacturing processes are subject to extensive and rigorous regulation by numerous government agencies, including the FDA and comparable foreign agencies, as discussed in “Part 1, Item 1. Business – Government Regulation” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. To varying degrees, each of these agencies monitors and enforces our compliance with laws and regulations governing the development, testing, manufacturing, labeling, marketing and distribution of our medical devices. We are also subject to regulations that may apply to certain of our products that are Drug/Device Combination products or are considered to be subject to pharmaceutical regulations outside the U.S. Before a new medical device, or a new use of an existing product can be marketed in the United States, it must first receive either premarket clearance under Section 510(k) of the FD&C Act, a grant of a request for de novo classification, or a PMA from the FDA, unless an exemption applies. The process of obtaining marketing approval or clearance from the FDA and comparable foreign regulatory agencies for new products, or for enhancements or modifications to existing products could be costly, time consuming and burdensome, may be impacted by failed clinical trials or weakened clinical evidence, involve modifications, repairs or replacements of our products and result in limitations on the indicated use of our products, which may negatively impact our ability to market our products and services, result in delays or prevent full commercial realization of future products or service. Furthermore, failure to obtain timely approvals, certifications or renewals may result in penalties and fines. Additional regulations govern the approval, initiation, conduct, monitoring, documentation and reporting of clinical studies to regulatory agencies in the countries or regions in which they are conducted. Failure to comply, could subject us to significant enforcement actions and sanctions, including halting the study, rejection of data generated in the study, seizure of investigational devices or data, sanctions against investigators, civil or criminal penalties, and other actions. In addition, without the data from one or more clinical studies, it may not be possible for us to secure the data necessary to support certain regulatory submissions, to secure reimbursement or demonstrate other requirements. We cannot assure that access to clinical investigators, sites and subjects, documentation and data will be available on the terms and timeframes necessary. We also cannot predict the likelihood, nature or extent of government regulation that may arise from future legislation or administrative or executive action, either in the United States or abroad. Further,In changesaddition, orgovernment shortagesshutdowns, recent reductions in FDAU.S. government agency staffing resultingand fromgovernment spending more generally could impact ordinary course operations of agencies with which we interact routinely, such as the changeFDA. inFollowing these reductions, the federalagencies administrationmay couldlack resultadequate instaff delaysand in the FDA’s responsiveness or in its abilityresources to reviewmeet submissionscurrent orreview, applications,approval issueand regulationsinspection or guidance, or implement or enforce regulatory requirements in a timely fashion or at all,schedules, which could negativelydelay impactthe ourreceipt business.of or otherwise adversely affect the outcomes of product authorizations we seek.
We are subject to extensive complex regulatory requirements by domestic and foreign government agencies and any failure to comply with our ongoing responsibilities under their applicable laws and regulations could result in a material adverse impact on our business. Failure to comply with applicable regulations could result in reduced sales, increased costs, delays to new product introductions, harm to our reputation or competitiveness, future product recalls, injunctions preventing the shipment of products or other enforcement actionsactions, thatall of which could have a material adverse effect on our business.business and financial results. In addition, the FDA has taken the position that device manufacturers are prohibited from promoting their products other than for the uses and indications set forth in the cleared or approved product labeling, and any failure to comply could subject us to significant civil or criminal exposure, administrative obligations and costs, and/or other potential penalties from, and/or agreements with, the federal government. Similar restrictions exist in many other countries where we do business, includedincluding the EEA.
As we disclosed above in “Part 1, Item 1. Business – Government Regulation,” we also are subject to the EU MDR, which was adopted by the EU as a common legal framework for all EU Member States (and also applies to Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein). The EU MDR also sets out certain transitional provisions that permit certain legacy devices to remain on the market for a limited period, and failure to obtain, maintain, or timely transition required certifications under the EU MDR, including within those transitional periods, could restrict our ability to market certain products in the EEA and other jurisdictions that rely on EU certifications, and could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We also are subject to the EU MDR, which was adopted by the EU as a common legal framework for all EU Member States (and also applies to Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein). The EU MDR became applicable on May 26, 2021, repealing the EU MDD. The EU MDR sets out certain transitional provisions that allow for medical devices covered by the repealed EU MDD (called “legacy devices”) to still be marketed in the EEA for a certain period of time. Most Class I medical devices had to comply with the EU MDR from May 26, 2021. However, the European Commission has recently extended the transition periods to December 31, 2027, for high-risk legacy devices (all Class III devices, and Class IIb implantable devices except sutures, staples, dental fillings, dental braces, tooth crowns, screws, wedges, plates, wires, pins, clips and connectors) and to December 31, 2028 for medium and low-risk devices (other Class IIb devices, Class IIa devices, and Class I devices placed on the market in sterile condition or having a measuring function).
Under the EU MDR, companies that wish to manufacturemanufacture, import and distribute medical devices in EEA must meet certain quality system, performance and safety requirements as well as ongoing product monitoring responsibilities. Companies must also affix a “CE” marking to their products. The right to affix the “CE” marking requires that the manufacturer has previously undergone a conformity assessment procedure for the relevant medical devices, in most cases involving a Notified Body (an organization accredited by the competent authority of an EEA country to conduct conformity assessments). Complying with the requirements of these regulations may require us to incur significant expenditures. Expenditures for EU MDR compliance activities amounted to $44.6$41.9 million for the year ended December 31, 20242025 and we anticipate incurring additional expenditures in connection with our on-going efforts to obtain certification for our products under the EU MDR. Various penalties exist for non-compliance with the requirements of the EU MDR and the related laws of EEA countries which, if incurred, could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and cash flows.
Should we delay or fail to comply with one or more of the regulatory requirements we could have reduced sales, increased costs, delays to new product introductions, enhancements or our strategic plans, or harm to our reputation or competitiveness, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.
In addition, maintaining compliance with multiple regulators, and multiple centers within the FDA, adds complexity and cost to our manufacturing processes. Our manufacturing facilities and those of our contract manufacturers are subject to periodic regulatory inspections by the FDA and other regulatory agencies, and these facilities are subject to the FDA's Quality System Regulation and Good Manufacturing Practices. Please refer to “Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – FDA Matters" (Part II, Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K) for more information relating to the warning letter we received from the FDA related to inspection observations of the quality systems at our Boston facility and our remediation efforts and expectations regarding the operationalization of our Braintree facility and the transition of manufacturing activities from the Boston facility to the Braintree facility and the warning letter we received from the FDA in December 2024 (the “December 2024 Warning Letter”) related to quality system issues identified during FDA inspections at three of the Company’s facilities located in Mansfield, Massachusetts, Plainsboro, New Jersey, and Princeton, New Jersey. We or our contractors may fail to satisfy these regulatory requirements in the future, and any failure to do so may prevent us from selling our products. Further, there can be no assurance that the Company will build and operationalize the Braintree facility, transition manufacturing activities to the Braintree facility or realize the anticipated benefits of the Company’s consolidation of its efforts at Braintree on the planned timeline, or at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.
We are subject to laws and regulations that govern the means by which companies in the healthcare industry may market their products to healthcare professionals and may compete by discounting the prices of their products, including for example, the federal AKS, the False Claims Act, HIPAA, state law equivalents to these federal laws that are meant to protect against fraud and abuse and analogous laws in foreign countries. Violations of these laws are punishable by criminal and civil sanctions, including, but not limited to, in some instancesinstances, civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines, restitution and exclusion from participation in federal and state healthcare programs, including Medicare and Medicaid. For a more detailed discussion of these laws, see “Item 1. Business — Government Regulation and Compliance — Other Regulations — Healthcare Fraud and Abuse Laws.”
Maintaining compliance with multiple regulators, and multiple centers within the FDA, adds complexity and cost to our manufacturing processes. Both before and after a device is placed on the market, numerous regulatory requirements apply, which require manufacturers to follow, among other things, design, testing, production, control, documentation and other quality assurance procedures during the manufacturing process; labeling regulations, which prohibit the promotion of unapproved products foror unapproved or “off-label” uses of cleared or approved products and impose other restrictions on labeling; and medical device reporting regulations that require us to report to FDA or similar governmental bodies in other countries if our products are ineffective or may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or malfunction in a way that would be reasonably likely to contribute to death or serious injury if the malfunction were to recur. The FDA and similar governmental bodies in other countries have the authority to require the recall, repair, replacement, or refund of such products, refuse to grant pending pre-market approval applications or require certificates of non-U.S. governments for exports, and/or require us to notify health professionals and others that the devices present unreasonable risks of substantial harm to the public health, and in certain rare circumstances, ban medical devices. We may voluntarily recall a product if a reasonable possibility of serious injury or any material deficiency in a device is found, or withdraw a product to improve device performance or for other reasons. For example, in May 2023, after consultation with the FDA, we initiated a voluntary global recall of all products manufactured in our Boston facility distributed between March 1, 2018 and May 22, 2023. Additionally, in response to Form 483s issued to the Company by the FDA at the conclusion of the FDA’s inspection of three of the Company’s facilities located in Mansfield, Massachusetts, Plainsboro, New Jersey, and Princeton, New Jersey during June and August of 2024, the Company took a number of voluntary actions including the initiation of shipping holds for several products and a voluntary recall of certain disposable cottonoid patties and strips. In July 2024, we announced plans to implement an enterprise-wide CMP, a systematic and holistic approach to improving our quality management system across our manufacturing and supply network. We currently cannot predict with certainty whether we will be able to effectively implement the CMP and realize the benefits contemplated thereby within the anticipated timeframe, or at all. Further, there can be no assurance that the Company will build and operationalize the Braintree facility, transition manufacturing activities to the Braintree facility or realize the anticipated benefits of the Company’s consolidation of its efforts at Braintree on the planned timeline, or at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results. For more information concerning our remediation efforts, including the status of the implementation of the CMP, and our expectations regarding the Company’s plans to build and operationalize the Braintree manufacturing facility and to transition manufacturing activities from the Boston facility to the Braintree facility and respond to the December 2024 Warning Letter, please see "“Item 7. Management'sManagement’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - FDA Matters"” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Recalls of any of our products may divert managerial and financial resources and have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations and cash flows. A recall might not only impact our results of operations and financial results but also could harm our reputation with customers and consumers which could reduce the future sales of our products. In addition, the FDA or other foreign governmental agencies may implement enforcement actions Any adverse regulatory action, depending on its magnitude, may place us under heightened scrutiny by the FDA and other regulators, including more frequent or more extensive inspections and increased monitoring of our quality and compliance activities, may restrict us from effectively marketing and selling our products and subject us to increased requirements for documentation or data in connection with future submissions or otherwise limit our ability to obtain future pre-market clearances or approvals, and could result in a substantial modification to our business practices and operations.

Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation is a global medical technology company dedicated to restoring lives. We are advancing transformational care through impactful innovation and our portfolio of highly differentiated technologies is trusted by healthcare professionals to deliver transformative care.
Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation was founded in 1989 and is a leading global medical technology company innovating treatment pathways to advance patient outcomes and set new standards of surgical, neurologic, ear, nose, and throat (“ENT”) and regenerative care. Our common stock trades on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “IART.” We have developed numerous product lines from this technology for applications ranging from burn and deep tissue wounds to the repair of dura mater in the brain, as well as nerves and tendons. We have expanded our base regenerative technology business to include ENT, surgical instruments, neurosurgical products and advanced wound care through global acquisitions and product development to meet the evolving needs of our customers and enhance patient care.
Integra products are sold in more than 120 countries through a direct sales force as well as distributors and wholesalers. We manufacture and sell medical technologies and products in two reportable business segments: Codman Specialty Surgical (“CSS”) and Tissue Technologies (“TT”). The CSS segment, which represents approximately two-thirds70% of our total revenue, consists of market-leading technologies and instrumentation used for a wide range of specialties, such as neurosurgery, neurocritical carecare, and otolaryngology.otolaryngology, commonly referred to as ear, nose, and throat (“ENT”). We are the world leader in neurosurgery and one of the top three providers in the U.S. in instruments used in precision, specialty, and general surgical procedures. Our TT segment generates about one-third30% of our overall revenue and focuses on three main areas: complex wound surgery, surgical reconstruction,reconstruction and peripheralcare nerveand repair.private label.
We have key manufacturing and research facilities located in California, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio, Puerto Rico, Tennessee, Utah, France, Germany, Ireland, Israel and Switzerland. We source most of our handheld surgical instruments and dural sealant products through specialized third-party vendors.
Our strategies are focused around five pillars. Of these five pillars, we have identified three core growth drivers: (1) innovating for outcomes, (2) growing internationally, and (3) broadening our impact on care pathways. Our execution of the core growth drivers is enabled by two key levers: (4) driving operational and customer excellence and (5) cultivating a high-performance culture. As outlined in greater detail below, we believe these five pillars will enable us to realize and advance our integrated growth strategy.
To this end, the executive leadership team has established the following key priorities aligned to the following five pillars:
Innovating for Outcomes. An important part of Integra’s growth strategy is introducing new products to strengthen and expand our portfolio through clinical evidence to support regulatory approval and strong reimbursement of our product portfolio around the world, including new indications for existing technologies. For example, in 2021, we filed a pre-market approval (“PMA”) application for a specific indication for Surgimend® in the use of post-mastectomy breast reconstruction. We anticipate PMA approval following the operationalization of the Braintree facility, which is expected in the first half of 2026. We are also pursuing a PMA for DuraSorb for use in implant-based breast reconstruction (“IBBR”). We completed enrollment for the DuraSorb U.S. investigational device exemption clinical study for two-stage breast reconstruction in June 2023; and in 2024 we have continued to advance the PMA application. Currently, we hope to secure PMA approval for DuraSorb in 2026.
In 2024 we expanded our urinary bladder matrix platform with the U.S. launch of MicroMatrix® Flex, a dual-syringe system enabling the convenient mixing and precise delivery of MicroMatrix® paste to provide convenient access to hard-to-reach spaces and to help prepare an even wound surface in challenging wound areas.
Additionally, in 2024, we successfully re-launched our CereLink intracranial pressure (“ICP”) monitor system. CereLink provides enhanced accuracy, usability and advanced data presentation that provides clinicians with uncompromised, advanced continuous ICP monitoring when treating patients with traumatic brain injuries.
Growing Internationally. Over the years, we have been significantly expanding our global footprint through investments in our commercial and manufacturing organizations, the expansion and development of international markets and new product introductions. As part of our In-China-For-China strategy, we continue to build out our assembly capabilities in our new facility in Suzhou, China. Several new products were introduced in select international markets in 2023 and 2024, including MicroMatrix® and Certas Plus® Programmable Valve, which were launched in Europe, and CUSA Clarity laparoscopic tip, which was launched in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Canada, South Africa and Israel. In addition, DuraGen® Secure, received approval in Japan, while DuraGen Plus, an absorbable and sutureless collagen onlay indicated as a dura substitute for the repair of dura mater, and Certas Plus were approved in China.
Broadening Impact on Care Pathways. We seek ways to develop and acquire products and technologies that impact the lives of patients, starting with the journey that a patient takes from diagnosis and treatment planning to surgery and postoperative care. We are well-established in acute care in the hospital setting and continue to leverage that strong position to grow in this segment and shape treatment pathways into preoperative care and additional sites of care. On April 1, 2024, we successfully completed the acquisition of Acclarent, Inc. (“Acclarent”). Acclarent is an innovator and market leader in ENT procedures and the acquisition of Acclarent has positioned Integra as one of the leading providers of ENT products and technologies. Furthermore, we believe that, owing to the ENT business being an anatomical adjacency to neurosurgery, the acquisition will allow Integra to deliver future innovation both within the ENT business and across our other CSS technology platforms.
Driving Operations and Customer Excellence. We have been making investments to build more responsive and scalable processes, enhance the reliability of our quality systems and supply chain, and drive productivity initiatives to further supply and lower costs. We continue to invest in technologies, systems and processes to enhance the customer experience. We also continue to invest in our capacity expansion. This includes ongoing projects of transferring our Boston manufacturing to a new location in Braintree, Massachusetts and further investing in capacity and validating manufacturing processes in our manufacturing facility in Plainsboro, New Jersey. We are implementing a Compliance Master Plan (the “CMP”), a systematic and holistic approach to improving our quality management system across our manufacturing and supply network. The primary objectives of the CMP are to remediate quality system gaps, harmonize the quality management system across the company, and enhance the quality culture at the company.
Cultivating a High-Performance Culture. In seeking to sustain a culture of excellence and accountability, we focus on employee empowerment, professional development and building an environment where all employees can contribute to their fullest potential. These efforts have been recognized through our inclusion in several best workplace lists globally in 2023 and 2024. Additionally, we continue to advance our broader organizational sustainability initiatives and published our third annual environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) report. For more information on our ESG strategy, goals, performance, and achievements, please visit “Our Company—ESG Report” at https://www.integralife.com/esg-report.

Neurosurgical Solutions, Surgical Instruments, and ENT Solutions. The CSS neurosurgical business consists of a broad portfolio of market-leading brands, such as Codman®, DuraGen®, DuraSeal®, CUSA®, CereLink®, Mayfield®, Bactiseal®, and Certas® Plus, which are used for the management of multiple disease states, including brain tumors, traumatic brain injury, hydrocephalus and other neurological conditions. The growth in this business in recent years has been fueled by geographic expansion and new product registrations in markets, such as China, Japan, and Europe, which we expect to continue in the near-to-long term. Because our electromechanical products and instruments address significant needs in surgical procedures and limit uncertainty for surgeons, we continue to invest in registrations, clearances, and approvals for new indications and next generation improvements to our market-leading products. We have several active programs focused on life cycle management and innovation for capital and disposable products in our portfolio. Our product development efforts are focused on core clinical applications in cerebrospinal fluid (“CSF”) management, neuro-critical care monitoring, minimally invasive instruments and electrosurgery and ultrasonic medical technologies, as well as our ambition to transform the standard of care in neurosurgery with product advancements in minimally invasive surgery (“MIS”) and the surgical management of intracerebral hemorrhage (“ICH”). Our lighting franchise is among the most dynamic in the industry.
We are focused on the development of core clinical applications in our electromechanical technologies portfolio. We continue to update our CUSA® Clarity platform by incorporating new ultrasonic handpiece and integrated electrosurgical capabilities. We have made several enhancements to our CUSA® Clarity Tissue Ablation System. The extended laparoscopic tip was launched in the U.S. to enhance laparoscopic liver procedures. In addition, a single-sided bone tip received 510(k) clearance from the FDA. Commercial launch was completed successfully in early 2023. In August 2023, we launched a modified 23 kHz CUSA® Electrosurgery Module (“CEM”) for Clarity handpieces that can be used with additional electrosurgery generators. We continue to work with several instrument partners to bring new surgical instrument platforms to the market.
We also continuedcontinue to advance the early-stage technology platforms we acquired in 2019. Through the acquisition of Arkis Biosciences, Inc. (“Arkis”) we added a platform technology, CerebroFlo® external ventricular drainage (“EVD”), a catheter with Endexo® technology,technology. The Endexo polymer in polyurethane is a permanent additive designedwhich has shown to reducebe effective in reducing platelet adhesion in-vitro, reducing thrombus accumulation in-vitro and in vivo, and reducing the potentialclinical forincidence catheterof obstructionthrombus dueformation. In vitro evaluations and in vivo animal evaluations do not necessarily predict the clinical performance of the SureFlo EVD Catheter with respect to thrombus formation. The incidence of thrombus formation on polyurethane containing Endexo polymer in other medical devices and/or tissues systems does not necessarily predict the clinical performance of the SureFlo EVD Catheter for the intended use of CSF external drainage and monitoring. The CerebroFlo EVD catheter has demonstrated an average of 99% less thrombus accumulation onto its surface, in vitro, compared to a market leading EVD catheter. Our work to combine our Bactiseal® antimicrobial technology with the Endexo anti-occlusive technology continues to progress for both a silicone-based hydrocephalus and EVD project.product.
We also continuedcontinue to advance our innovation from the Rebound Therapeutics Corporation (“Rebound Therapeutics”), which was acquired in 2019. Rebound Therapeutics specializes in a single-use medical device, known as the Aurora® Surgiscope, which is the only tubular retractor system designed for cranial surgery with an integrated access channel, camera and lighting. The 9mm15mm x 60mm and 15mm x 80mm Aurora Surgiscope System version received 510(k) clearance from the FDA in the fourth quarter of 2023.2025.
In July 2025, we announced the inaugural enrollment of the first patient in the AERA Pediatric Registry, a prospective, multi-center observational registry evaluating the real-world use of the AERA Eustachian Tube Balloon Dilation System in children. This marks the focused effort to measure the ongoing, clinical performance of AERA in pediatric patients with obstructive Eustachian tube dysfunction. The registry is designed to capture both safety and efficacy outcomes for up to 300 pediatric patients who undergo Eustachian tube balloon dilation using AERA.
In September 2025 the Mayfield® Ghost Base Unit Post launched in the U.S., which is designed to help provide clear visualization of anatomical structure and to support surgical accuracy and patient positioning.
In the first quarter of 2024, we relaunched our CereLink ICP monitoring system, after initiating an immediate voluntary global product removal of all CereLink® intracranial pressure monitors in 2022. Cerelink provides enhanced accuracy, usability and advanced data presentation to clinicians treating patients with traumatic brain injuries.
In the second quarter of 2024, we acquired Acclarent, expanding our capabilities in the U.S. ENT market. Acclarent pioneered the balloon sinuplasty market and has a broad portfolio including the RELIEVA SPINPLUS® Balloon Sinuplasty System. Acclarent also pioneered eustachian tube balloon dilation, and currently markets the AERA® Eustachian Tube Dilation System, which received 510(k) clearance for expanded pediatric indications in 2023. Acclarent sells the TruDi® Navigation System, which includes a portfolio of navigated surgical instrumentation.
Regenerative Technologies. We were the first company to receive an FDA claim for regeneration of dermal tissue and are a world leader in regenerative technology. Our regenerative technology development program applies our expertise in bioengineering to a range of biomaterials including natural materials such as purified collagen, intact human or animal tissues, honey as well as resorbable synthetic polymers with our DuraSorb and DuraSeal® product lines. These unique product designs are used for neurosurgical and reconstructive surgical applications, as well as dermal regeneration, including the healing of chronic and acute wounds, tendon and nerve repair.regeneration. Our regenerative technology platform includes our legacy Integra® Dermal Regeneration Template (“IDRT”) products and complementary technologies that we have acquired.

On December 19, 2024, athe subsidiary of Integra LifeSciences Holdings CorporationCompany received a warning letter from the FDA (the “2024 Warning Letter”). The 2024 warningWarning letterLetter relates to quality system issues identified during FDA inspections at three of the Company’s facilities located in Mansfield, Massachusetts,Massachusetts; Plainsboro, New Jersey,Jersey; and Princeton, New Jersey. The warning2024 letterWarning Letter did not identify any new observations that had not already been provided in the Form 483s previously issued to the Company by the FDA at the conclusion of its three inspections in June and August of 2024 (the “2024 Form 483s”). In the 2024 Form 483s, the FDA deemed certain of the Company'sCompany’s devices, including cranial perforators, disposable cottonoid patties and strips, and collagen-based products, to be out of compliance with respect to the quality system regulation.regulations. At that time, the Company took a number of voluntary actions including the initiation of shipping holds for several products and a voluntary recall of the disposable patties and strips. The warning2024 letterWarning Letter does not restrict the Company’s ability to manufacture or ship products, require recall of any products, nor restrict the Company’s ability to seek FDA 510(k) clearance of products. The warning2024 letterWarning Letter states that premarket approval applications for Class III devices to which the quality system regulation violations are reasonably related will not be approved until the violations have been corrected. The Company has already submitted several responses to the 2024 Form 483s issued to each of the three manufacturing facilities to the FDA and has submitted aseveral written responseupdates to the warning2024 letterWarning inLetter the first quarter ofthroughout 2025.
On March 7, 2019, TEI Biosciences, Inc. (“TEI”), one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, received a Warning Letter (the “2019 Warning Letter”), dated March 6, 2019, from the FDA. The 2019 Warning Letter was related to quality systems issues at TEI’s manufacturing facility located in Boston, Massachusetts (the “Boston facility”). The Boston facility manufacturesmanufactured extracellular bovine matrix products in our TT segment that arewere sold both in wound reconstruction and care and surgical reconstruction franchises, and in private label channels. The letter2019 Warning Letter resulted from an inspection held at thatthe Boston facility in October and November 2018 and did not identify any new observations that were not already provided in the Form 483 that followed the inspection. We submitted our initial response to the 2019 Warning Letter on March 28, 2019 and provide regular progress reports to the FDA as to itsour corrective actions. On October 28, 2021, the FDA initiated an inspection of the Boston facility and at the conclusion of the inspection, issued an FDA Form 483 on November 12, 2021 (the “2021 Form 483”). We provided an initial response to the inspection observations. On March 1, 2023, the FDA commenced an inspection of the Boston facility and issued an FDA Form 483 at the conclusion of this inspection (the “2023 Form 483”). In May 2023, after consultation with the FDA, Thethe Company initiated a voluntary global recall of all products manufactured at the Boston facility, including PriMatrix®,PriMatrix, SurgiMend®,SurgiMend, Revize™, and TissueMend™, distributed between March 1, 2018 and May 22, 2023.2023 (the “Boston recall”). On July 19, 2023, TEI received a Warning Letter, dated July 17, 2023, from the FDA related to quality system issues at the Boston facility (the “2023 Warning Letter”). The 2023 Warning Letter did not identify any new observations that had not already been provided in the 2023 Form 483. The Company has submitted periodic responses to the FDA for both the 2023 Form 483 and the 2023 Warning Letter. We are committed to resolving the matters identified in the Warningwarning Lettersletters and Form 483s and are continuing our significant efforts to remediate the observations.
Although the warning letters do not restrict the Company’s ability to seek FDA 510(k) clearance of products, PMAs for Class III devices to which the quality system regulation violations are reasonably related will not be approved until the violations have been addressed. Following its assessment of the results of a third-party audit of the Boston facility, the Company announced in the second quarter of 2024 that it no longer planned to restart the manufacture of PriMatrix and SurgiMend at its Boston facility. The restart of the manufacturing of SurgiMend will occur at the Company’s new tissue manufacturing facility in Braintree, Massachusetts (the “Braintree transition”). The Company anticipates the Braintree facility to be operational in 2026. In addition, the Company entered into a new third-party agreement, which facilitated the relaunch of PriMatrix, as well as Durepair Dural Regeneration Matrix, ahead of previously disclosed timelines.
Although the Warning Letters do not restrict the Company’s ability to seek FDA 510(k) clearance of products, PMAs for Class III devices to which the quality system regulation violations are reasonably related will not be approved until the violations have been addressed. We cannot give any assurances that the FDA will be satisfied with our response to the issues identified by the FDA in any of the foregoing Form 483s or warning letters or as to the expected date of the resolution of such issues. Until the issues cited by the FDA are resolved to the FDA’s satisfaction, the FDA may initiate additional regulatory action without further notice. Any adverse regulatory action, depending on its magnitude, may restrict us from effectively manufacturing, marketing and selling our products and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
As a result of our ongoing acquisition strategy and significant growth in recent years, we have undertaken cost-saving initiatives in 2024 and 2025 to consolidate manufacturing operations, distribution facilities and transfer activities, eliminate duplicative positions, realign various sales and marketing activities, and expand and upgrade production capacity for our regenerative technology products. These efforts are expected to continue and while we expect a positive impact from ongoing restructuring, integration, and manufacturing transfer and expansion activities, such results remain uncertain.
As a result of audits and inspections by regulatory agencies as well as our own review of the Company’s quality management system, we have implemented an enterprise-wide Compliance Master Plan (the “CMP”), a systematic and holistic approach to improving our quality management system across our manufacturing and supply network. The primary objectives of the CMP are to remediate quality system gaps, harmonize the quality management system and enhance the quality culture across the Company. The Company has completed baseline audits across all manufacturing facilities, conducted CMP training, and has made significant progress in its prioritized work streams.
During the fourth quarter of 2025, we approved a restructuring initiative to improve the Company’s operational performance by strengthening the stability and resilience of our supply chain and advancing our prioritization and execution discipline. We expect to incur aggregate restructuring costs associated with this initiative of approximately $12.6 million related to severance and other employee costs. The costs will be incurred as specific actions required as part of the initiative are identified and approved and are expected to continue through the end of 2026. The amounts and timing of estimated restructuring costs are subject to change until finalized; actual amounts and timing may vary materially based on various factors. We incurred $8.5 million of restructuring related costs related to this initiative during the year ended December 31, 2025. Restructuring costs were included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet for the year ended December 31, 2025. See Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K) for further details.
As required by the 2023 Warning Letter, we retained an outside expert consultant to perform an audit of the Boston facility in March 2024. Since receiving the third-party audit findings for the Boston facility in March, the Company has reassessed its plans and timeline to resume the manufacture of PriMatrix® and SurgiMend®. In parallel, the Company has been furthering its plans to complete the construction and operationalization of its new tissue manufacturing facility in Braintree, Massachusetts. The Company announced in the second quarter of 2024 that it no longer plans to restart the manufacture of PriMatrix® and SurgiMend® at its Boston facility and will, instead, restart manufacturing of these products at the Braintree facility. The Company expects to operationalize the Braintree facility in the first half of 2026. As a result of these decisions, in the second quarter of 2024, the Company recorded a $4.6 million impairment charge, comprised of a $1.7 million impairment of an operating lease right-of-use asset and a $2.9 million write-off of fixed assets, which was recorded as a component of cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of operations. For further detail on the impairment, see Note 11. Lease and Related Party Leases.
The Company elected to perform impairment testing on certain definite-lived intangibles and goodwill in the first quarter of 2024, which resulted in an intangible impairment of $7.1 million. For further detail on the impairment testing, see Note 7. Goodwill and Other Intangibles.
Revenues of products manufactured in the Boston facility for the year ended December 31, 2022 were approximately 5.3% of consolidated revenues. No revenues were recorded in 2024 for products manufactured at the Boston facility.
Durepair® Acquisition

DuraSorb sales are reported within Integra’s Tissue Technologies segment.
Divestitures
On August 31, 2022, the Company completed the sale of its non-core traditional wound care (“TWC”) business to Gentell, Inc. (“Gentell”) for $28.8 million, which consists of $27.8 million in cash plus $1.0 million in contingent consideration which may be received upon achieving certain revenue-based performance milestones two years after the closing date. The proceeds from the sale of the TWC business of $27.8 million is presented in the consolidated statement of cash flows net of cash transferred of $3.5 million and other transaction fees. The transaction included the sale of the Company's TWC products, such as sponges, gauze and conforming bandages, and certain advanced wound care dressings, such as supportive, calcium alginate, hydrogel, and foam dressings. The transaction is subject to final working capital adjustments, which are pending finalization between the parties.
As a result of our ongoing acquisition strategy and significant growth in recent years, we have undertaken cost-saving initiatives to consolidate manufacturing operations, distribution facilities and transfer activities, eliminate duplicative positions, realign various sales and marketing activities, and expand and upgrade production capacity for our regenerative technology products. These efforts are expected to continue and while we expect a positive impact from ongoing restructuring, integration, and manufacturing transfer and expansion activities, such results remain uncertain.
As a result of both audits by regulatory agencies as well as our own reviews of the company’s quality management system, we are implementing a CMP, a systematic and holistic approach to improving our quality management system across our manufacturing and supply network. The primary objectives of the CMP are to remediate quality system gaps, harmonize the quality management system across the company, and enhance the quality culture at the company.

We typically define special charges as items for which the amounts and/or timing of such expenses may vary significantly from period to period, depending upon our acquisition, divestiture, integration and restructuring activities,activities; anditems for which the amounts are non-cash in nature; and items which are not expected to recur at the same magnitude. We believe that given our ongoing strategy of seeking acquisitions, our continuing focus on rationalizing our existing manufacturing and distribution infrastructure and our continuing review of various product lines in relation to our current business strategy, some of the special charges discussed above could recur with similar materiality in the future.
OurThe Company’s revenues and gross margin on product revenues were as follows:
Revenues
For the year ended December 31, 2024, total revenues increased by $69.0 million, or 4.5%, to $1,610.5 million from $1,541.6 million during the prior year. Excluding the impacts of the Acclarent acquisition and foreign currency impact, revenues declined low single digits compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily driven by impacts from quality and operational issues.
In the CSS segment, revenues were $1,143.6 million which was an increase of $84.6 million, or 8.0% as compared to the prior-year period, inclusive of $95.0 million related to the Acclarent acquisition and a $6.1 million unfavorable foreign currency impact on revenue. Excluding these impacts, revenue remained flat compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily driven by lower sales due to temporary shipping holds in CSF Management and Dural Access & Repair, partially offset by growth in instruments and advanced energy.
In the TT segment, revenues were $466.9 million, which was a decrease of $15.7 million, or 3.3% as compared to the prior-year period. The TT segment decreased low single digits as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily attributable to a decline in Integra Skin due to production challenges, partially offset by growth in MicroMatrix® & Cytal and Durasorb.

In the third quarter of 2021, we filed a PMA application for a specific indication for SurgiMend® in the use of post-mastectomy breast reconstruction and in July 2024 received approvable pending GMP status from FDA, which approved and closed out the clinical portion of this PMA application. We currently expect the Braintree facility to be operational in June 2026, with PMA approval anticipatedfor to followSurgiMend in 2027. We are also pursuing a PMA for DuraSorb for use in implant-based breast reconstruction (“IBBR”).reconstruction. We completed enrollment for the DuraSorb U.S. investigational device exemption clinical study for two-stage breast reconstruction in June 2023;2023, completed treatment in 2024, completed patient 1-year follow up in 2025, and we continue to advance the PMA application. Currently,We we hope to secureexpect PMA approval for DuraSorb later in 2027.
In 2024, we acquired the product rights for Durepair® Dural Regeneration Matrix, a suturable dural graft which complements our portfolio of dural grafts and sealants, and subsequently launched the product for commercial sale in the U.S. in October 2025.
EUROPEAN UNION MEDICAL DEVICE (“EU MDR”) REGULATION UPDATES
On December 19, 2024, the Company received a warning letter from the FDA (the “2024 Warning Letter”). The 2024 Warning Letter relates to quality system issues identified during FDA inspections at three of the Company’s facilities located in Mansfield, Massachusetts; Plainsboro, New Jersey; and Princeton, New Jersey. The 2024 Warning Letter did not identify any new observations that had not already been provided in the Form 483s previously issued to the Company by the FDA at the conclusion of its three inspections in June and August of 2024 (the “2024 Form 483s”). In the 2024 Form 483s, the FDA deemed certain of the Company’s devices, including cranial perforators, disposable cottonoid patties and strips, and collagen-based products, to be out of compliance with respect to quality system regulations. At that time, the Company took a number of voluntary actions including the initiation of shipping holds for several products and a voluntary recall of the disposable patties and strips. The 2024 Warning Letter does not restrict the Company’s ability to manufacture or ship products, require recall of any products, nor restrict the Company’s ability to seek FDA 510(k) clearance of products. The 2024 Warning Letter states that premarket approval applications for Class III devices to which the quality system regulation violations are reasonably related will not be approved until the violations have been corrected. The Company has submitted several responses to the 2024 Form 483s issued to each of the three manufacturing facilities to the FDA and has submitted several updates to the 2024 Warning Letter throughout 2025.2025 and 2026.
On March 7, 2019, TEI Biosciences, Inc. (“TEI”), one of our wholly-ownedwholly owned subsidiaries, received a Warning Letter (the “2019 Warning Letter”), dated March 6, 2019, from the FDA. The 2019 Warning Letter was related to quality systems issues at TEI’s manufacturing facility located in Boston, Massachusetts (the “Boston facility”). The Boston facility manufactured extracellular bovine matrix products in our Tissue Reconstruction segment that were sold both in wound reconstruction and care and surgical reconstruction franchises, and in private label channels. The 2019 Warning Letter resulted from an inspection held at the Boston facility in October and November 2018 and did not identify any new observations that were not already provided in the Form 483 that followed the inspection. We submitted our initial response to the 2019 Warning Letter on March 28, 2019 and provide regular progress reports to the FDA as to our corrective actions. On October 28, 2021, the FDA initiated an inspection of the Boston facility and at the conclusion of the inspection, issued an FDA Form 483 on November 12, 2021 (the “2021 Form 483”).2021. On March 1, 2023, the FDA commenced an inspection of the Boston facility and issued an FDA Form 483 at the conclusion of this inspection (the “2023 Form 483”). In May 2023, after consultation with the FDA, the Company initiated a voluntary global recall of all products manufactured at the Boston facility, including PriMatrix, SurgiMend, Revize™, and TissueMend™, distributed between March 1, 2018 and May 22, 2023 (the “Boston recall”). On July 19, 2023, TEI received a Warning Letter, dated July 17, 2023, from the FDA related to quality system issues at the Boston facility (the “2023 Warning Letter”). The 2023 Warning Letter did not identify any new observations that had not already been provided in the 2023 Form 483. The Company has submitted periodic responses to the FDA for both the 2023 Form 483 and the 2023 Warning Letter. We are committed to resolving the matters identified in the warning letters and Form 483s and are continuing significant efforts to remediate the observations.
Although the warning letters do not restrict the Company’s ability to seek FDA 510(k) clearance of products, PMAs for Class III devices to which the quality system regulation violations are reasonably related will not be approved until the violations have been addressed. Following its assessment of the results of a third-party audit of the Boston facility, the Company announced in the second quarter of 2024 that it no longer planned to restart the manufacture of PriMatrix and SurgiMend at its Boston facility. The restart of the manufacturing of SurgiMend 510k product will occur at the Company’s new tissue manufacturing facility in Braintree, Massachusetts (the “Braintree transition”). The Company anticipates the Braintree facility to be operational in 2026. In addition, the Company entered into a new third-party agreement, which facilitated the relaunch of PriMatrix, as well as Durepair Dural Regeneration Matrix in 2025, ahead of previously disclosed timelines. The Braintree facility became operational in June 2026 and is currently ramping up production to support the planned SurgiMend relaunch in the fourth quarter of 2026.
In the fourth quarter of 2025, we approved a restructuring initiative to improve the Company’s operational performance by strengthening the stability and resilience of our supply chain, strengthening global commercial capabilities and advancing our prioritization and execution discipline. We expect to incur aggregate restructuring costs associated with this initiative of approximately $12.3 million related to severance and other employee costs. The costs will be incurred as specific actions required as part of the initiative are identified and approved and are expected to continue through the end of 2026. The amounts and timing of estimated restructuring costs are subject to change until finalized; actual amounts and timing may vary materially based on various factors. During 2025, we incurred $8.5 million of restructuring costs related to this initiative. In the firstsix quartermonths ofended June 30, 2026, we incurred an additional $3.8 million in restructuring related expenses, consistent with the previously announced plans. In addition, we incurred costs related to executive restructuring activities during the six months ended June 30, 2026, which were separate from the previously announced plans.
CINCINNATI FACILITY FLOOD DAMAGE
On July 17, 2026, our manufacturing facility in Cincinnati, Ohio sustained flood damage as a result of severe weather conditions. The flooding caused damage to portions of the facility, equipment, inventory and other assets and resulted in operational disruptions at the site. We responded immediately to the event and implemented our business continuity plans to support ongoing customer service and operational continuity. We are continuing to assess the full extent of the damage and finalize remediation and recovery plans. Based on our current assessment, including available inventory at our distribution centers and our insurance coverage, we do not currently expect the event to have a material adverse effect on our operations or financial condition. However, our evaluation of the full financial impact of the event remains ongoing, including the ultimate costs of remediation and restoration, the amount of any potential asset impairments, and the timing and extent of insurance recoveries. We maintain insurance coverage for property damage and business interruption losses and are actively working with our insurance carriers to assess available coverage and potential recoveries. While we believe the event may result in insurance recoveries, the amount and timing of any such recoveries cannot be assured. For additional information regarding the flood damage to the Cincinnati facility, see Note 17. Subsequent Events.

The Company’s effective income tax rates for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025 were (91.7)%5.5% and 15.8%,8.8%, respectively.
The 2026 effective tax rate was primarily impacted by tax benefits associated with returns filed in certain foreign jurisdictions, as well as the jurisdictional mix of income, including its impact on the Company’s net Controlled Foreign Corporation tested income (“NCTI”) inclusion, formerly referred to as Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (“GILTI”). The 2025 effective tax rate was primarily impacted by a partially non-deductible goodwill impairment charge, NCTI, and additional taxes related to global minimum tax requirements in certain foreign jurisdictions, partially offset by tax benefits from operating losses in certain jurisdictions.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company’s effective tax rate was primarily driven by a $2.9 million tax expense related to a shortfall from stock-based compensation, due to market conditions. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company’s effective tax rate was driven by federal, state, and international tax benefits generated from operating losses in certain jurisdictions, offset by a $2.1 million tax expense related to a shortfall from stock-based compensation.
