Bull points
- This was a strong quarter for us, which exceeded our expectations. Q1 2026 was the first full quarter in which we were entirely focused on the surgical market, and the results reflect our sharpened, focused, and enhanced financial model.
- our products were contracted or approved to be sold in over 4,000 hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers throughout the United States. Our products were sold in over 1,400 facilities throughout the United States, up from more than 1,300 in the first quarter of last year. And we had agreements with more than 450 distributors compared to 400 at this time last year.
- our team continues to, one, get wider into facilities that they've been working in for some time, and two, reaching into new facilities as well.
Bear points
- Other expense for the first quarter of 2026 was $2.2 million compared to $1.4 million for the first quarter of 2025. The increase in other expense was primarily due to higher interest expense and fees related to our CRG term loan and share of losses from equity method investments
