Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Total revenue increased 6% year-over-year, driven by a 4% increase in product revenue (primarily consumables) and a 9% increase in service revenue. Console revenue decreased by $2.1 million, offset by a $3.0 million increase in consumable revenue.
• Margin Expansion: Gross margin improved by 8.0 percentage points to 37.2%, attributed to a higher mix of consumable and service revenue and lower costs per unit.
• Expense Reduction: Total operating expenses decreased 39% to $27.5 million. Research and Development (R&D) dropped 56%, Sales and Marketing (S&M) dropped 35%, and General and Administrative (G&A) dropped 27%, largely due to restructuring and reduced stock-based compensation.
• Debt Restructuring: The company repaid its previous $200 million SLR Term Loan in full, incurring a $7.7 million loss on extinguishment. It simultaneously entered a new $100 million Perceptive Term Loan facility.
• Capital Raise: The company raised approximately $172.7 million through a private placement of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Most of these shares were subsequently converted to common stock.

Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary

• Liquidity: Management believes existing cash, investments, and proceeds from recent financing are sufficient to meet needs for at least the next 12 months. The company maintains a minimum cash balance covenant of $10.0 million under its new credit agreement.
• Operational Focus: The company continues to focus on profitability initiatives, including workforce reductions and supply chain optimization. It aims to expand its installed base in acute care and grow the home dialysis market.
• Regulatory & Legal Risks:
  • Nasdaq Compliance: The company regained compliance with Nasdaq minimum bid price requirements following the reverse stock split in March 2025.
  • Litigation: Two consolidated stockholder class action lawsuits and a derivative suit are pending, alleging false statements regarding the company's business and FDA processes. The company cannot currently estimate potential losses.
  • FDA: The company received 510(k) clearance for TabloCart with Prefiltration in May 2024 and was notified in February 2025 that issues cited in a 2023 FDA Warning Letter have been addressed.
• Macroeconomic Factors: Rising interest rates and cautious capital spending by hospital customers continue to elongate sales cycles. Potential tariffs and trade policy changes pose risks to supply chain costs.

Key Facts for Investor Verification

• Debt Covenants: Verify the company's ability to meet the trailing twelve-month net revenue targets and minimum cash balance covenants required by the new Perceptive Credit Agreement to avoid an event of default.
• Revenue Mix Sustainability: Confirm if the improved gross margin is sustainable given the shift toward higher-margin consumables and services versus lower-margin console sales.
• Legal Exposure: Monitor the status of the consolidated securities class action lawsuits and the derivative suit, as outcomes could result in significant financial liability or reputational damage.
• Capital Efficiency: Assess the burn rate relative to the $192.3 million liquidity position to determine the runway before additional financing may be required.
• Reverse Stock Split Impact: Verify the long-term impact of the 15-for-1 reverse stock split on trading liquidity and investor sentiment.
