Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

Outlook and Strategy: Management plans to accelerate revenue growth in fiscal 2026 by expanding the sales force into four new territories, increasing brand awareness for bronchiectasis treatment, and developing clinical evidence to support physician adoption. The company expects to finance operations through cash flows and its existing credit facility.

Key Risks and Contingencies:

• Regulatory and Legislative Changes: The company highlights significant uncertainty regarding the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (OBBBA) signed in July 2025, which includes budgetary cuts to Medicaid and Medicare and work requirements that could increase the uninsured population. Additionally, the Supreme Court's Loper Bright decision may increase litigation challenging federal regulations.
• Reimbursement Dependency: Revenue is heavily dependent on third-party reimbursement (Medicare, Medicaid, private payers). Changes in coverage policies or reimbursement rates could materially impact financial results.
• Supply Chain: Potential inflationary trends, component shortages, and trade regulations (tariffs) could impact gross margins and supply continuity.
• Intellectual Property: The company ceased efforts to maintain patents outside the U.S. and Mexico in Q4 2025, recording a $212,000 impairment charge.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Reimbursement Rates: Verify current Medicare and Medicaid allowable amounts for HCPCS code E0483 and monitor for potential reductions under new federal legislation.
• Stock Repurchase Impact: Confirm the exhaustion of the $5.0 million buyback authorization and assess future capital return strategies.
• Regulatory Exposure: Review the specific provisions of the OBBBA and state-level implementations to gauge potential impacts on Medicaid/Medicare eligibility and funding.
• Share-Based Compensation: Note the significant acceleration of share-based compensation expense in fiscal 2025 and its impact on future earnings volatility.
• International Strategy: Confirm the strategic shift to focus solely on U.S. and Mexican patents and the resulting impact on international market expansion.
