Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Decline (Q3): Sales decreased 14.1% year-over-year to $30.3 million. This was primarily driven by a 68% reduction in LDD unit sales (25 units sold vs. 78 in Q3 2024) due to slower adoption by practices. This decline was partially offset by a 6% increase in LAL sales volume.
• Revenue Growth (9M): For the nine months ended September 30, sales increased 2.2% to $101.9 million, driven by a 27% increase in LAL sales volume, despite a 38% reduction in LDD sales.
• Margin Expansion: Gross margin improved to 79.9% in Q3 2025 (from 71.4% in Q3 2024) due to a favorable product mix shift toward higher-margin LAL sales, which comprised 85% of revenue in Q3 2025.
• Expense Increases: Operating expenses rose 5.7% in Q3 and 16.5% for the nine-month period. SG&A expenses increased due to higher marketing study costs, compensation, and stock-based compensation. R&D expenses increased due to higher overhead and personnel costs.
• Widening Losses: Net loss increased 54.9% in Q3 and 38.5% for the nine-month period compared to the prior year, reflecting the revenue decline and increased operating costs.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Liquidity: Management believes existing cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments ($227.5 million) are sufficient to fund operations for at least the next 12 months. The company does not currently anticipate the need to raise additional capital to reach profitability but may do so opportunistically.
• Commercial Strategy: The company recently realigned its U.S. commercial organization, integrating clinical and sales teams into a "Customer Success Organization" to improve support for existing customers and drive LAL utilization growth.
• Legal Proceedings:
  • Securities Class Actions: Two putative class actions (Makaveev and Gemesi) were filed in July and September 2025, alleging false statements regarding product demand and financial guidance. These were consolidated in October 2025.
  • Shareholder Derivative Actions: Two derivative actions (Swift and Yost) were filed in August and October 2025 alleging breaches of fiduciary duty and internal control failures. The Swift action has been stayed pending resolution of the class actions.
• Risk Factors: Key risks include supply chain constraints (reliance on single/sole source suppliers), potential tariffs, regulatory changes (including the new FDA Quality Management System Regulation effective Feb 2026), and the outcome of pending litigation.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Verify the sustainability of the 79.9% gross margin given the significant drop in LDD sales volume.
• Monitor the progress of the "Customer Success Organization" realignment and its impact on LAL utilization rates per installed LDD.
• Review the status and potential financial impact of the consolidated securities class action and shareholder derivative lawsuits.
• Assess the company's ability to manage inventory levels given supply chain lead times and the risk of obsolescence.
• Confirm the timeline and costs associated with compliance with the new FDA Quality Management System Regulation (QMSR) effective February 2026.
