    Question

    Matt Taylor of Jefferies & Company Inc. questioned the path to Nevro's earnings accretion, noting the business was already near EBITDA breakeven in Q2. He also asked if the Enabling Technologies business could still achieve double-digit growth for the full year.

    Answer

President & CEO Keith Pfeil added they are cautiously optimistic but it's early. Regarding Enabling Tech, Pfeil noted that achieving double-digit growth would require 27% growth in the back half, which he deemed possible given the strength of the pipeline.
