Q&A Highlights
- Ship holds: Incremental holds identified late Q1 lifted annual impact to $55–$70M (from $27M); Q2 revenue headwind ~$25M; high-end FY revenue guide still possible given offsets (Integra Skin, FX tailwind, demand) .
- Tariffs: ~half of 2025 impact is China; mitigation (pricing, sourcing, surcharges, exemptions) underway but not embedded in guidance yet .
- Private label: Expect ~$10M step-up H2 vs H1; full-year now low single-digit decline vs prior “flat” assumption .
- Capital structure: August convert to be repaid via revolver; swaps to fix >50% of debt at low-3% through 2027; covenant step-down to 4.25x in Q4 but company expects compliance .
- Braintree & FDA: Aim to resolve warning letter actions by time Braintree is operational; most remediations by year-end 2025, some into 2026 .
Estimates Context
- Q1 2025: Revenue beat ($382.653M vs $381.166M*), EPS miss ($0.41 vs $0.431*), both inside prior company guidance ($375M–$385M revenue; $0.40–$0.45 EPS) .
- FY 2025: S&P Global consensus EPS ~$2.20* sits near the low end of updated company guidance ($2.19–$2.29), suggesting limited immediate estimate cuts if mitigation offsets tariffs; consensus revenue ~$1.634B* is below guidance range midpoint .

Key Takeaways for Investors
- Near-term revenue stability with organic challenges: Q1 revenue near top of guide, but organic declines from ship holds and Integra Skin timing underscore operational execution risk .
- Tariffs drive EPS reset: FY adjusted EPS cut to $2.19–$2.29 reflects ~$0.22/share tariff impact; watch mitigation cadence (pricing, sourcing) and any policy changes .
- Execution pivot underway: PMO launch, site assessments, and leadership additions aim to improve quality/supply reliability; trajectory should show into H2’25 and 2026 .
- Segment mix supportive: ENT/Acclarent remains a growth engine; Instruments strong; Neurosurgery constrained by holds—monitor release timing and international resolution pace .
- Cash and leverage manageable: Liquidity ~$1.16B; leverage 4.3x with revolver and swaps plan for convert; covenant dialogue active—operational improvement key to de-risk .
- Q2 setup: Guidance implies sequential revenue step-up on seasonality and Integra Skin yields, offset by ~$25M ship hold and ~$0.04 tariff EPS headwind; track execution vs plan .
- FY revenue guide intact: Despite expanded ship holds, reaffirmed revenue range suggests demand strength outside supply-constrained SKUs; monitor private label recovery timing .
