Greetings, and welcome to the Tenon, Inc. Second Quarter 2025 Earnings Conference Call. [Operator Instructions] As a reminder, this conference is being recorded. It is now my pleasure to introduce your host, Steven Foster, CEO and President. Thank you. You may begin.

Thank you, Maria, and good afternoon, everyone. I'm pleased to welcome you to today's second quarter 2025 financial results and corporate update conference call for Tenon Medical. We recently marked a pivotal step forward for Tenon Medical, highlighted by a strategic acquisition on top of a second quarter that included continued clinical validation and meaningful progress towards diversification of our product offering. Speaking to our recent announcement, a significant focus of our second quarter initiatives was a thorough due diligence and successful completion of the strategic acquisition of SiVantage, which we announced subsequent to quarter end. With integration to take place over the next 60 to 90 days, this transaction delivers active case volume, revenue-generating technologies and a robust pipeline that will continue to scale. The deal significantly enhances our commercial organization and unlocks new pathways through hospital approval processes, distribution networks and market access. Importantly, the transaction energizes our commercial infrastructure and the tools and talent to drive sustainable top line growth. In tandem, we continue to advance the Catamaran platform with real-world adoption in complex spine procedures. Dr. Andrew Trontis completed initial Catamaran cases, demonstrating successful integration into lumbar fusion constructs. These procedures now supported by FDA clearance for use as an adjunct to thoracic lumbar fixation validate Catamaran's role in preparing and immobilizing the SI joint in preparation for fusion while reducing morbidity, blood loss and operative time. This expanded indication opens a new market opportunity and expands our footprint in the sacropelvic fixation space. The Catamaran SE, our second-generation low-profile implant, remains on track for full commercial launch in the coming weeks. The SE platform has already shown favorable feedback and alpha review. Combined with the SiVantage assets, we now offer a multiproduct dynamic approach fusion solution that differentiates Tenon in an increasingly competitive sacropelvic marketplace.…

Thank you, Steve. I will now provide a summarized review of our financial results. A full breakdown is available in our press release that crossed the wire this afternoon. Revenue for the second quarter of 2025 was $564,000 compared to $901,000 in the same period last year. Revenue for the 6 months ended June 30, 2025, was $1.3 million compared to $1.6 million in the 6 months ended June 30, 2024. The year-over-year decline was primarily due to lower procedure volumes and account mix headwinds in the second quarter of 2025, driven primarily by the strategic shift in our commercial initiatives with the impending SiVantage acquisition. With the transaction now closed, we are already seeing increased volume and interest in the Tenon story, which we expect to be meaningful moving forward. Gross profit was $245,000 or 43% of revenue in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $470,000 or 52% of revenue in the prior year quarter. For the 6 months ended June 30, 2025, gross profit was $568,000 or 44% of revenue compared to $940,000 or 58% of revenue for the previous year's period. The decline in gross margin was a result of reduced procedure volumes and lower revenue with consistent variable direct product costs and relative fixed production overhead costs year-over-year. Operating expenses totaled $3.1 million in Q2 2025, down from $4.3 million in the prior year period. For the 6 months ended June 30, 2025, operating expenses totaled $7.1 million, compared to $8.3 million in the prior year period. The 29% reduction in the quarter was driven by lower expenses across G&A, R&D and sales and marketing. The reduction in G&A and R&D was primarily driven by disciplined spending and project timing as well as a reduction in stock-based compensation, which is expected to continue. The reduction…

Thank you, Kevin. We are energized by this progress made in Q2 and the strong momentum building into the second half of 2025. From the SiVantage acquisition to the launch of Catamaran SE and ongoing clinical validation, we are executing across all pillars of our strategy. Tenon remains focused on delivering solutions that promote true biologic fusion and structural stability for patients suffering from sacropelvic disorders. We're confident in our long-term trajectory and remain committed to driving value for our patients, physicians and shareholders. I thank you all for attending. And now I'd like to hand the call over to our operator to begin our question-and-answer session with covering analysts. Maria?

[Operator Instructions] Our first question comes from Scott Henry with AGP.

I'm excited for you with the SiVantage acquisition/merger, however you want to phrase it. I find that smaller companies are often in a race for scale. And do you want to achieve scale to leverage the cost in the whole business model. Is that what you're trying to get here? Do you think this could help bring you scale, make the company more viable in the big picture?

Yes. Scott, this is Steve, and thanks for the great question. You could be more right. I think it gets us a number of things, certainly gives us a pathway to scale. But as we move to a more intensive commercialization, what happens in medical devices is you're trying to leverage and build access. And when I say access, access to hospital system contract groups and things of that nature. So one of the things that happens here is we combine all of the work that was done in the 2 organizations in the access part of the equation. This gives salespeople on the street the ability to go and get after these opportunities. That's one. Two, Tenon a month ago was a single product company. Now that's changed. Now we're going to be able to -- this is what I noticed in this whole thing, right, is that as physicians start to really think about the problems they're trying to solve in the sacropelvic region, they need flexibility and they need options. Having a one-size fit all was starting to become an issue. This gives us a chance to have multiple approaches to the anatomy, multiple formats of implant to address the issue, whether they're dealing with a primary situation, a revision situation or an adjunctive situation and a bigger procedure. So we become more diversified, we get more access out there. To your point, we get to build scale more effectively. And quite candidly, as excited I am about the products, more excited about the people. These guys are people I've known for many years now, great respect for. We're bringing some real horsepower to the team that I'm just -- it's hard for me to describe how excited I am about it. I think we're going to be able to do things commercially at a much higher clip and in a much more intense way. So very excited about all those parts.

Okay. That's fantastic. And as we try to get our arms around this combined company, I don't know if you can talk to the combined revenue, the combined OpEx, gross margin picture? Or will there be filings with that? I just pulled up an 8-K pretty long. I don't see any tables in there, but they might be in there. Just trying to get an idea of how we can kind of build a picture of this combined entity.

Sure. And I'll let Kevin comment in a moment. But as part of the transaction and as part of us closing, there are some audited financials being done that need to be completed before we can share the kind of details you're looking for. So we'll need a short period of time here to wrap those things up, and then we'll be able to provide more specifics. And Kevin, if you want to comment real quickly, that might be appropriate.

Yes, happy to. So Scott, there's about a 75-day post-close period to file the audited financials for SiVantage. So we should have those filed here come mid-October based on that time line. So I can't speak directly to the numbers, but it is an immediate revenue pickup meaningful for Tenon with the Symmetry product line that's out there. And I think, as Steve mentioned, even more specifically, we're excited for the pickup we believe is going to come from the Symmetry Plus launch that's coming up here in Q4. But immediate revenue now and more to go as Symmetry Plus gets launched in Q4.

Okay. And for clarification, is there anything that needs to be done to complete this merger? Are there any votes? Or is this final?

No, yes, -- it's closed and approved. The only remaining item to it is filing the audited 2024 financials and its review period for '25 for SiVantage. That's all in works and have, again, a 75-day post-close period to get those filed with the SEC.

Okay. And final question, more on the micro side. Obviously, revenues declined in the quarter, but expenses went way down, too. I don't know if you're optimizing to get ready for the planned acquisition. But how should we think about Catamaran and you also have the SE launch coming up. How should we think about the Catamaran revenues sequentially in third quarter and fourth quarter?

Yes. This is Steve. I agree. I think it's fair to say Q2, we were a bit obsessed with working through all of this and getting it done with our new SiVantage partners that was a little bit disruptive for certain. I don't anticipate that softness being ongoing. I really think we'll recover very quickly. We just felt ourselves a bit on hold with adding street personnel, sales personnel, replacing any changes, things of that nature until we got this thing closed. So that's kind of where my mind is as it relates to Catamaran.

Okay. Fair enough. And based on -- I mean, what are we -- 1.5 months into Q3, are you expecting -- I mean, a lot of that stuff is still ongoing, was ongoing. Should we temper our expectations in Q3 and then wait for kind of the Q4 combined rollout? Would that be a reasonable way to think of it?

I think it is reasonable -- and Kevin, go ahead and comment. But yes, I think it is reasonable. Certainly, in July, we were still wrapping this up. It's very intensive at the end, as you can imagine. But things have really started to turn very quickly now that we're closed, I'm very encouraged that we'll recover very quickly.

Yes. I'll just add there, Scott. I think the excitement of announcing the deal, getting -- officially getting the teams together and getting going here, I think you'll see Catamaran revenue back to where you've seen it before and plus the incremental revenue that we're going to pick up from Symmetry immediately. So we feel good about where Catamaran is at, where Catamaran revenue is at. And I think a big piece of it that Steve alluded to is leveraging the hospital agreements, hospital approvals, the distributor agreements across both sides and now starting to kind of cross- sell through the synergies, both products into both sides, and then grow from there. So I think you'll see a good bounce back in Q3.

Our next question comes from Nicholas Sherwood with Maxim.

Kind of talking about the acquisition, what sort of is the incremental physician and hospital network that you've kind of acquired through the acquisition? And have you begun cross-selling to the sort of legacy physician partners from both Tenon and SiVantage? Or are you still waiting for everything to be integrated before you begin doing that?

Yes. Thanks for the question. A couple of things. Yes, there's going to be overlap between the 2 groups, if you will, at the physician level as well as at the hospital and facility level, right? Our challenge is to integrate that and leverage that as best we can, right? The reality is Tenon had some access and contracting and pricing stuff done, so did SiVantage. Some of it overlaps, some of it's incremental. So it builds from day 1, gives us a chance to reinforce that group and then continue to expand from there. As to the sales folks and cross-selling, that is happening immediately. We're not waiting for the audits to be done or anything like that. We've already begun the training process to get everyone prepared to sell across the portfolio, position it appropriately, support it appropriately, what have you. Our folks are very consultative out there with the physicians and their staff. And so all of that process has begun in earnest, and we'll continue to do so probably for the next 60 days or so.

Okay. Perfect. And then kind of a follow-up. What is the kind of the reimbursement landscape for the Symmetry product and the Symmetry Plus product? Is it a similar like Medicare reimbursement code as the Catamaran system? Does it have private payer coverage? Can you kind of talk about how that exists? And then any synergies there with the acquisition?

Yes, certainly. So the SI joint, there are 3 distinct CPT codes that cover SI procedures. The SiVantage technology is coming over, participates with those codes just like Catamaran does. So I would position that as very similar, right? Coverage goes to supporting these technologies with data. And I mentioned in the prepared comments that not only are we excited about this second interim analysis coming out from our MAINSAIL trial and reinforcing that Catamaran delivers on its promises, but the SiVantage portfolio also brings prospective data to the mix that shows that Symmetry and we believe also Symmetry Plus can deliver on very specific aspects of safety and effectiveness. So we feel like we're well positioned with data to continue the pursuit of proper coverage of these technologies. But no new incremental codes or anything like that. The SiVantage technology participates with the SI codes that are in existence.

Okay. That makes sense. And then my last question is just what kind of color can you give us on this Symmetry Plus launch? Do we have an idea of when that will be? Kind of how much of a catalyst we expect that to be for the top line? Just kind of break down what you're thinking?

Excellent. Yes, we're really excited about it. It is a lateral approach technology that will be state-of-the-art and really bringing some features that we believe are going to be very compelling for physicians. From a timing perspective, we anticipate alpha surgeries beginning in the October time frame with that technology. And when I refer to Alpha, these are our physician advisers and our close relationship physicians who use these technologies and give us specific feedback, what do they like, what do they not like, what needs to be tweaked, et cetera. And candidly, the number of tweaks will determine the timing of a full-scale launch. But usually, those things run 2 to 3 months and then we build out -- make any changes, build out inventory and execute on a full launch. So I think what would be fair is saying in October, November, December will be in alpha, and then you'll see a launch of that technology in the early part of next year.

I would now like to turn the call back over to Mr. Foster for his closing remarks.

Great. Thank you, Maria. I'd like to thank each of you for joining our earnings conference call today and look forward to continuing to update you on our ongoing progress and growth.
