Third Quarter 2025 Financial and Operating Results

Revenue was $14.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $1.3 million, or 10%, over the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Revenue generated in the U.S. was $13.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $1.2 million, or 10%, over the three months ended September 30, 2024. Revenue units in the U.S. totaled 420 and 394 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increases were primarily driven by continued growth in the U.S. HF business as a result of the expansion into new sales territories, new accounts, and increased physician and patient awareness of Barostim.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had a total of 250 active implanting centers in the U.S., compared to 240 as of June 30, 2025. Active implanting centers are customers that have completed at least one commercial HF implant in the last 12 months. The number of sales territories in the U.S. increased by three to a total of 50 during the three months ended September 30, 2025.

Revenue generated in Europe was $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $0.1 million, or 12%, over the three months ended September 30, 2024. Total revenue units in Europe decreased to 50 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 56 in the prior year period. The number of sales territories in Europe remained consistent at five for the three months ended September 30, 2025.

Gross profit was $12.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $1.6 million, or 15%, over the three months ended September 30, 2024. Gross margin increased to 87% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 83% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was higher due to an increase in the average selling price and a decrease in the cost per unit, primarily due to an increase in manufacturing efficiencies.

R&D expenses increased $0.6 million, or 26%, to $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. This change was driven by a $0.5 million increase in compensation expenses and a $0.2 million increase in consulting expenses, partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in clinical trial expenses.

SG&A expenses increased $0.2 million, or 1%, to $21.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. This change was primarily driven by a $0.2 million increase in consulting expenses, a $0.2 million increase in travel expenses, and a $0.2 million increase in non-cash stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in advertising expenses and a $0.2 million decrease in compensation expenses.

Interest expense increased $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was driven by the interest expense on higher levels of borrowings under the term loan agreement with Innovatus Capital Partners.

Other income, net was $0.9 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. These balances consisted of interest income on our interest-bearing accounts.

Net loss was $12.9 million, or $0.49 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to a net loss of $13.1 million, or $0.57 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Net loss per share was based on 26.2 million weighted average shares outstanding for three months ended September 30, 2025 and 22.8 million weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

As of September 30, 2025, cash and cash equivalents were $85.1 million. Net cash used in operating and investing activities was $10.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $10.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
