Dane Reinhardt's questions to Enovis Corp (ENOV) leadership • Q2 2025
Question
Dane Reinhardt of Baird asked for an update on orthopedic end-market trends, noting the lighter U.S. Hip & Knee growth. He also questioned the updated financial impact of tariffs and whether the new CEO's focus on R&D would alter the company's long-term margin expansion targets.
Answer
CFO Ben Berry characterized the market as a 'post-COVID norm' with some vacation-related softness, but expects acceleration in the second half. On tariffs, he noted the 90-day China pause was helpful, but uncertainty remains. CEO Damien McDonald clarified that his focus on R&D is about reallocating resources to more effective programs, not increasing overall spend, and it should not change the company's margin expansion goals.
