Note: Values marked with * retrieved from S&P Global.

What Went Well and What Went Wrong

What Went Well

• Pro forma adjusted gross margin expanded to 72.7% (vs 71.3% in Q2 2024), with pro forma adjusted EBITDA up to $20.6M (10.3% of sales) as mix improved and M6 discontinuation removed a profitability drag.
• BGT net sales reached $62.6M (+6% YoY) with fracture channel growth +7%, reflecting effective investments and new surgeon conversions; U.S. Orthopedics +28% led by TrueLok Elevate TBT and FITBONE launches.
• CEO tone confident: “Strategic initiatives… are gaining traction… creating a powerful foundation for a more scalable commercial organization… I am confident the Company is well positioned to deliver sustainable, long-term shareholder value”.

What Went Wrong

• Price decrease at a major U.S. spine account remained a headwind, offsetting 7% procedure volume growth in U.S. Spine Fixation; management expects impact to persist through year-end.
• Targeted distributor transitions in Spine created short-term disruption, muting growth in Spinal Implants & Biologics (Q2 pro forma +2% YoY) despite portfolio wins in ALIF and cervical.
• International Orthopedics -2% YoY due to prior-year NGO orders not repeating; variability in tender/stocking orders to continue quarter-to-quarter.

Thank you, Operator, and good morning everyone. Welcome to Orthofix Medical Inc.'s second quarter 2025 earnings call. We appreciate you joining us. I'm Julie Dewey, Orthofix Medical Inc.'s Chief IR and Communications Officer. Joining me on the call today are President and Chief Executive Officer Massimo Calafiore and Chief Financial Officer Julie Andrews. Before we get started, please note that our earnings release and the supplemental presentation accompanying this call are available on the Events and Presentations page of the Investors section of our corporate website at orthofix.com. Also, this call is being broadcast live over the internet to all interested parties, and an archived copy of this webcast will be available in the Investors section of our corporate website shortly after the conclusion of this call. During this call, we'll be making forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

All statements, other than those of historical facts, are forward-looking statements. We do not undertake any obligation to revise or update such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are discussed in our most recent filings with the SEC and may be included in our future filings with the SEC. In addition, on today's call, we will refer to various non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to today's news release announcing our second quarter 2025 results for information regarding our non-GAAP results, including our reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to our U.S. GAAP results.

Additionally, and unless otherwise stated, all net sales % changes discussed will be on a pro forma constant currency year-over-year basis, excluding the impact from the discontinuation of the M6-C Artificial Disc and M6-L Artificial Disc product lines, and all results of operations that we will refer to will be on a non-GAAP as adjusted basis. As we announced on our Q4 earnings call, we are discontinuing the M6-C Artificial Disc and M6-L Artificial Disc product lines. We have posted a pro forma P&L excluding M6-C and M6-L on our website to assist you with updating your models. We will update it on a quarterly basis for the remainder of 2025. Moving to today's agenda, Massimo will open with comments on our performance and business updates. Julie Andrews will then review the specifics of our second quarter results and our 2025 financial guidance.

With that, I'll now turn the call over to Massimo.

Speaker 1

Thank you, Julie. Good morning everyone, and thank you for joining us for our second quarter earnings call. I'll spend some time providing business updates and information about our key initiatives before I turn it over to Julie Andrews to cover the specifics of our Q2 results and 2025 guidance. During the second quarter, we continue to execute the priorities that we outlined in our three-year plan to transform our business and deliver on our commitment to drive profitable growth. Our second quarter pro forma net sales of $200.7 million represents year-over-year constant currency growth of 4%. Our disciplined approach led to strong adjusted EBITDA margin growth and positive free cash flow generation, underscoring our ability to grow the business responsibly. Strategic initiatives like accelerating spine distributor transition in certain underpenetrated U.S.

territories are gaining traction and creating a powerful foundation for a stronger, more scalable commercial organization to drive our next phase of growth. We expect to benefit from our recent product launches and deliver meaningful product innovation that improves outcomes and efficiencies for our surgeons and their patients. I'm confident the company's positioned to deliver sustainable long-term shareholder value throughout the second half of 2025 and beyond. Now, I would like to provide additional detail for each of our businesses. Our U.S. spinal fixation net sales grew 5.4% and procedural volume grew 7%, both of which were consistent with our expectation. Importantly, we are off to a strong start accelerating targeted distributor transition in certain U.S. territories that we announced last quarter.

Collectively, these distributors represent a potentially sizable book of business, which we believe will support the above market CAGR of 6.5% to 7.5% reflected in our three-year financial plan. We expect this distributor transition will result in a more robust and scalable commercial organization, paving the way for future growth. In addition to this distributor transition, we continue to gain share in our U.S. anterior lumbar and cervical fusion portfolios, which both grew in excess of 15%, significantly outperforming the market. We launched our Reef L Lateral Lumbar Interbody system in the U.S., the newest addition to our lateral spine portfolio, and the final piece in our comprehensive Reef interbody system. At the same time, we continue to leverage our differentiated 7D FLASH Navigation System to create long-standing relationships with our surgeon partners. Total 7D unit placements in the U.S.

grew by 66% in the first half of 2025, compared to the same prior year period, representing total revenue commitment of about $12 million over the life of the contracts, which are typically three to four-year commitments. 7D earnouts in the first half of this year were ahead of the first half of last year, and our focus on driving 7D placements through our Voyager earnout program is delivering sales results, with earnout customers exceeding their contracted spinal hardware and biologic purchase commitment by over 50% on average. We believe this demonstrates our ability to drive incremental product pull-through with surgeons and seek relationships with surgeons and hospital accounts. As we look at enabling technology driving procedural adoption, we are very excited to announce that we received FDA clearance and initiated the limited market release of our new VRATA Spinal Fixation System in the U.S.

Designed to seamlessly integrate with the 7D FLASH Navigation System, VRATA exemplifies our commitment to developing implant solutions with enabling technology as a core principle. This level of compatibility optimizes surgical workflows, boosts surgeon confidence, and accelerates procedural adoption, all key differentiators that we fully intend to capitalize on. Every aspect of VRATA, from our proprietary screw design to intuitive instrumentation, is engineered for unrivaled ease of use and performance. VRATA is more than just another thoracolumbar fixation option. It's a fully integrated procedural solution designed to empower surgical teams and elevate outcomes in demanding accounts. The limited launch has already generated impressive early traction, with over 80% of surgeons participating in the limited launch representing new or incremental business. This result validates our strategic focus on surgeon-driven innovation powered by cutting-edge 7D FLASH technology and reinforces our ability to drive successful market penetration beyond the current customer base.

We expect this positive trajectory to continue throughout the limited launch period and look forward to VRATA being a meaningful contributor to our growth next year. With continued investment, we expect that our next-generation advancements in enabling technology and our hardware portfolio will build upon this unique foundation and establish us as a partner of choice for surgeons seeking real-time, data-driven interoperative solutions in the OR. U.S. Orthopedics grew 28%, benefiting from strong execution and the launch of our new TruLock Elevate TBT System, which is now in full market release globally. This is the fourth consecutive quarter of double-digit U.S. Orthopedics growth, validating our strategy to become the market leader in the category of complex limb reconstruction.

Since receiving FDA clearance and CMARC registration earlier this year, over 200 TruLock Elevate TBT System bone transport procedures have been completed, making this one of the most exciting product launches in Orthofix Medical Inc. history. The success of the TruLock Elevate TBT System advances our strategy to become the leading limb reconstruction company in the market and, in particular, expands our presence in the growing diabetic wound market with an innovative solution designed to improve blood circulation, support wound healing in diabetic feet, and lower amputation risk in a challenging patient population. Building on the success of TruLock Elevate, orthopedic growth in the second half of 2025 is expected to be fueled by a number of new product introductions that we anticipate will capture additional market share with new and existing customers. These innovations include the exclusive FitBone bone transport and lengthening nail and FitBone trochanteric nail.

Our unique position as the only company in the U.S. offering a complete suite of internal and external limb reconstruction solutions is yielding substantial results. This dedicated focus on limb reconstruction is expected to be a crucial growth engine for Orthofix Medical Inc. for many years to come as we aim to become the global leader in this $1.7 billion market. The Bone Growth Therapies team continues to deliver consistent results, growing twice the market, solidifying our leadership position in spine and capitalizing on the promising opportunity in fracture. Julie will provide further insights into the performance of the segment. Building on recent product launch successes across the business, we are ideally positioned to deliver transformative innovation that benefits surgeons and patients by optimizing outcomes and efficiencies. We have a healthy commercial pipeline that we believe will provide a clear path to achieving sustained growth that outperforms the market.

We remain focused on three strategic priorities. First, further sharpening our commercial execution to drive deeper market penetration through our comprehensive portfolio offering, including the adoption of our 7D FLASH Navigation System. Second, implementing projects to improve our gross margin, and finally, focusing on disciplined capital allocation, adjusted EBITDA expansion, and positive free cash flow generation. I believe we are favorably situated to create long-term value for our shareholders and to deliver life-changing innovation to our patients and surgeons in 2025 and beyond. As we move forward, I'm confident we are well positioned for profitable growth as our efforts to further optimize our spine commercial channel begin to bear fruit, and we continue to build on our financial foundation and prudently deploy capital to create long-term value for our shareholders.

Our momentum continues to build in our Orthopedics business with the groundbreaking opportunity we have to define the limb reconstruction category, as well as prospects we have in our Bone Growth Therapies business to further capitalize on cross-selling opportunities and drive penetration in the fracture market with Axel's team. With that, I'll now turn the call over to Julie to review our second quarter financial results and our 2025 guidance.

Speaker 2

Thank you, Massimo, and good morning everyone. As we get started, all net sales growth rates that I refer to in my prepared comments will be on a pro forma constant currency basis over the prior year quarter and exclude the impact of net sales related to the discontinuation of the M6-C Artificial Disc and M6-L Artificial Lumbar Disc that we previously announced. These pro forma comparisons are non-GAAP financial measures as described by Julie during the introduction of our call. Please refer to the non-GAAP reconciliations in our press release, and I strongly encourage you to review the information posted on our website. This information includes pro forma results through the second quarter of 2025 to assist you with your modeling efforts. During the second quarter, we prioritized investment in spine and biologics distribution expansion and investment in surgeon-driven innovation.

Through rigorous resource allocation efforts, we are focusing on higher return opportunities to further sustain our share capture in U.S. spine and U.S. orthopedics, improve margins, and generate free cash flow. These investments are expected to position the company for both near and long-term profitable growth. With that context, let me walk you through our financial results for the quarter. In the second quarter, total global net sales reached $200.7 million, up 4% over the prior year. I will now take you through the net sales results by product segment. Global spinal implants, biologics, and enabling technologies second quarter pro forma net sales were $104.8 million with year-over-year growth of 2%. These results were in line with our expectations due to the anticipated short-term impact from targeted distributor transitions in key geographies impacting both our U.S. spine and biologics businesses. In our U.S.

spine fixation business, procedure volume increased by 7%. However, this growth was partially offset by an outsized impact from a price decrease at a major account that we mentioned during our first quarter call. We will be working through this for the remainder of the year. We continue to see strong adoption of our 7D FLASH Navigation System with total U.S. unit placements in the first half of 2025 growing by 66% over the same period of the prior year. Moving to Bone Growth Therapies, BGT continues to achieve strong net sales growth, exceeding market performance in the second quarter. Total net sales reached $62.6 million, reflecting 6% growth. This expansion was supported by strong results in both the spine and fracture channels. Fracture growth within BGT was 7%, attributed to investments in the fracture sales channel that have led to new surgeon conversions.

We do expect our BGT growth to remain at or above market growth rates currently estimated to be 2% to 3%. We will continue to focus on adding new surgeons and competitive surgeon conversions in BGT spine and continue our commercial focus in the BGT fracture market where we currently have lower market penetration and see a substantial opportunity to drive new business with orthopedic surgeons. The global orthopedics business grew 5% to $33.3 million in the second quarter, led by 28% growth in the U.S. as a result of the limited market release of TruLock Elevate and the full market launch of the FitBone bone transport nail. The international orthopedics business declined 2% in line with our expectations due to several large NGO orders that occurred in 2024 that did not repeat in 2025.

As we've previously commented, due to the nature of this business, particularly around the timing and volume of stocking distributor and tender orders, we expect to see variability in the growth rates from quarter to quarter. Moving down the P&L, pro forma non-GAAP adjusted gross margin, which excludes the impact of the M6 discontinuation, reached 72.7%, representing an approximate 140 basis point increase compared to the reported non-GAAP adjusted gross margin for the second quarter of 2024 of 71.3%. This improvement was primarily driven by the discontinuation of M6 and favorable product mix. Pro forma non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA excluding the impact of the discontinuation of M6 was $20.6 million or 10.3% of net sales. Pro forma adjusted EBITDA margin expanded approximately 190 basis points compared to reported non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin for the second quarter of 2024 of 8.4%.

The discontinuation of M6, which has been a negative drag on our profitability in prior periods, drove about one half of this improvement with the remaining gains resulting from favorable product mix and the actions to optimize our shared service functions announced in Q1, accounting for the remaining half. We are pleased by these margin expansion results as we see our ability to drive leverage on sales growth materializing as we continue to focus on disciplined, profitable growth. From a cash standpoint, our total cash balance at the end of Q2, including restricted cash, increased to $68.7 million, driven by positive free cash flow of $4.5 million for the second quarter. Overall, we continue to be confident in our ability to drive profitable revenue growth moving forward.

We remain focused on pursuing the vital few initiatives in our long-range plan and prudently deploying capital and resources to areas where we have a differentiated advantage, all of which we believe will support the achievement of our three-year financial targets and propel our business forward. Moving on to 2025 full-year guidance. First, regarding tariffs, we have exposure to tariffs in the EU, Canada, China, and Taiwan. We estimate our annual exposure to be in the range of $3 million to $4 million, consistent with our comments in Q1. This estimate includes currently applicable U.S. tariffs that took effect on August 1 and assumes such tariffs remain in place. This exposure is very manageable, primarily reflected in cost of goods sold and already contemplated in our guidance.

We maintain our expectation of full-year pro forma net sales between $808 million and $816 million, excluding revenue from the discontinued M6 product lines. We expect third quarter 2025 net sales to be similar to the second quarter, with new distributor partners helping to counter usual seasonal declines in procedure volumes. These projections are based on current foreign currency exchange rates and do not assume any additional changes to exchange rates during the remainder of the year. We continue to expect full-year 2025 pro forma non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $82 million to $86 million. This range includes the anticipated impact from the discontinuation of the M6 product lines that was previously announced in February 2025 and represents 190 basis points of EBITDA margin expansion at the midpoint of the range compared to 2024.

We also continue to expect to generate positive free cash flow for the full year 2025, excluding the impact of restructuring charges related to the discontinuation of M6 product lines. Additionally, we expect to generate positive free cash flow for the second half of 2025. Now for some specifics on individual line items for the P&L for 2025. We expect our gross margins to be approximately 72% for the remainder of the year. We continue to expect our operating expenses to improve by approximately 200 basis points this year versus 2024. We now expect stock-based compensation of approximately $28 million to $29 million and adjusted depreciation and amortization of approximately $37 million for the full year, and interest and other expenses of approximately $5 million per quarter.

Finally, building on a resilient financial foundation and delivering long-term shareholder value will continue to be paramount in 2025 and beyond, driven by our heightened focus on disciplined, profitable growth, positive cash flow generation, and strategic capital deployment. Now, before we open up the call for questions, let me turn it back to Massimo for concluding comments. Massimo?

Speaker 1

Thanks, Julie. I want to thank our Orthofix team and our committed commercial partners for their effort in Q2. In the back half of the year, we had a significant opportunity to drive profitable growth and leverage positive momentum. We executed two of the most exciting product introductions in Orthofix history, with VRATA in its early stage evaluation period and TruLock Elevate now fully launched. We remain committed to our focused commercial strategy, a surgeon-centric innovation pipeline, and a clear trajectory toward expanded margins. I believe we are poised to achieve our financial goals and generate sustainable long-term value for our shareholders. Operator, let's now open the line for questions.

Speaker 6

At this time, I would like to remind everyone, in order to ask a question, press the star, the number one on your telephone keypad. Your first question comes from the line of Michael John Petusky with Barrington Research Associates. Your line is open.

Hey, good morning. I guess I wanted to start just asking about the U.S. Orthopedics result. I mean, is that being driven by just deeper utilization of the products among the existing customer base, or are you guys adding new accounts, new surgeons in U.S. Orthopedics? Just curious, what's the driver there primarily?

Speaker 1

Yeah, good morning, Mike. I think that the driver is both. You know, we can keep deeper in the account where we are already doing business, given our stronger and wider product portfolio. Most importantly, I think that the introduction of TruLock Elevate TBT is helping us to enter a market where we were not participating. TruLock transverse is a unique product that helps us to participate in this $1.7 billion diabetes foot market, and the results that we are seeing are very remarkable, avoiding amputation to all of the patients that we treated so far. We had over 200 cases just done and a very high demand out there. We are very pleased about what we are gaining from our new focus strategy on complex limb reconstruction that is creating a unique position for us in the marketplace.

You need to remember that on top of TBT with our FitBone product line, we are the only company in the world right now, the only company in the U.S., sorry, that can provide internal and external solutions also for bone transport. Again, I'm very pleased of these new product launches. I'm very pleased of the strategy, and the results are speaking by themselves.

Terrific. If I could just sneak a quick one in there for Julie as well. Julie, on the free cash flow, obviously a good number. I'm just curious, CapEx was a little bit lighter than we had anticipated. Is there, and I may have missed this, but is there a guide for CapEx for the back half, and then is there any reason you shouldn't see sequential improvements in free cash for the remainder of the year? Thanks.

Speaker 5

Hi, Mike. I'll start with kind of your last part of your question first. Our comments are specific to H2. We'll be free cash flow positive, but not necessarily each quarter. Generally speaking, Q4 will be cash flow positive, and we may see a little slowdown in Q3. We don't have a specific guide for CapEx, but it's probably going to, you know, it was a little bit lighter this quarter, probably a little bit heavier in Q3. Overall, approximately, you know, flat to last year.

Thank you.

Speaker 6

Your next question comes from the line of Caitlin Cronin with Canaccord Genuity. Your line is open.

Hi. Congrats on the quarter, and thanks for taking the questions. Just to talk about the U.S. spine distributor transition, some more color on how that's going. Any changes to the strategy or the timing versus last quarter, particularly given the Q3 guidance commentary, and when you expect to see accelerated growth?

Speaker 1

As we said, first of all, we believe we are very pleased about the interest that we have, that we are seeing on our company. I am very pleased about how the commercial is executing all of the transition that we started to talk about in Q1. You saw already some acceleration in this quarter. I am very excited about the effect that it's going to have on our company from Q3 and beyond. I think that all of this work that we're doing is going to help us to bring the company back to the bull market CAGR that we discussed in our three-year financial plan. Where we are today and why I feel very confident about the business is because all of these initiatives are creating a much stronger foundation.

Besides our commercial, besides the commercial side of the equation, as you see, our innovation pipeline is very strong. VRATA is going to be a great contributor for the growth of our company from now on for the next few years. The demand for 7D FLASH Navigation System is very high. I think that having this highly differentiable product enabling technology platform is helping the team to keep recruiting the talent that we want. All in all, between our commercial execution and our focus on innovation, I feel very confident about what we can achieve from now on.

That's great. You know, strong Bone Growth Therapies growth, ExcelSyn 2.0. Have you launched that yet? You know, any contribution expected from that launch in the second half?

Yes. It was FDA approved, and we are planning to launch it in the second half of the year. We're going to see some contribution of the product, but most importantly, the fact that it's going to connect in a seamless way with our post-op platform. We see a lot of interest on surgeons, given the ability to follow patients during the healing journey. I cannot be more proud about what the BGT team is doing. If you think about being the market leader and posting quarter over quarter, this substantial growth is just a testament about our commercial excellence, but also our ability to leverage the cross-selling opportunities that are appearing both in spine and in orthopedics. The fact that our orthopedics business is growing so fast in the U.S. is going to just accelerate also our opportunity to cross-sell into BGT.

I can firmly say that our strategy also in the BGT is working.

Great. Thanks for taking the questions.

Speaker 6

Your next question comes from the line of Jeffrey Cohen with Ladenburg. Your line is open.

Good morning, Massimo and Julie. Thanks for taking our questions. I wondered at first if you could talk about 7D and, geographically speaking, some of the traction that you're seeing now and what you anticipate in the back half from a geographical standpoint.

Speaker 1

We are not talking about 7D from the geographic point of view. I think that we are, the results of 7D right now are very compelling, are demonstrating the quality of our strategy. The 7D unit placement grew 66% in the first half of 2025. Most importantly, it's giving us a revenue commitment of around $12 million over the lifetime of the contract. Think about normally this commitment at three, four years. What is really great for us is that the majority of our placements are on average 50% on top of what the purchase commitment for hardware biologics. Again, we are not talking about where we place 7D geographically, but thinking about the U.S., very pleased with the success of our Voyager Earnout program.

Thank you. That's helpful. For us, could you talk about, was there any pricing that you were able to take during the second quarter? Is there any pricing anticipated for the back half of the year?

Speaker 5

Yeah, I mean, there weren't any pricing changes in the quarter compared to our comments in Q1. We did talk in Q1 about, we had a pricing contract that went into effect and an account that is having a sizable impact on our spine fixation business. That's not new. That'll continue for the rest of the year. Other than that, pricing was pretty stable.

Got it. Okay. Perfect. Thanks for taking our questions.

Speaker 6

Once again, if you would like to ask a question, please press star, then the number one on your telephone keypad. Your next question comes from the line of Jason Hart Wittes with ROTH Capital Partners. Your line is open.

Hi. Thanks for taking the questions. You know, just looking at the growth over the last few quarters and even the outlook, it seems like you have a very big opportunity in specialized ortho. If you look forward, is that kind of where you think you're going to continue to see outsized growth for the business?

Speaker 1

Yeah, I think that, look, we are working very hard, of course, to balance the growth within all our business units. It's clear that the strategy that we implemented around orthopedics, especially in the U.S., is paying off. We are redefining the category of limb reconstruction. It's on the served market that comprehensive limb preservation, deformity correction, limb lengthening, and complex fracture management. The combination of TBT and FitBone and our legacy product is creating a unique position that we want to try, that we are working very hard to fully capitalize. I don't see the business and the growth in the U.S. slowing down in the foreseeable future. Very excited to participate on this $1.7 billion market with our product line.

Again, the success of the organization is going to come from the combination of our growth in spine, the investment that we're making on our distribution is paving and is creating a stronger foundation for us. The growth that we're experiencing in Bone Growth Therapies quarter over quarter is amazing. Very confident about the ability for this organization to deliver in the foreseeable future.

Okay. That's helpful. Also, looking at Bone Growth Therapies, that's also continuing to grow above market, at least kind of where even you guys see where the market's growing. How much is that product driven and how much of that is cross-selling, which I think initially was a big part of the growth we saw when you first merged with C-Spine?

Yeah. Look, we continue to focus on cross-selling with orthopedics and spine. The growth in orthopedics is also helping to capitalize on this opportunity even further. We are driving, we are helping to, we are planning to drive penetration in the BGT fracture in the second half with Axel's team. Again, I think that the majority of our success is coming from our ability to execute commercially quarter over quarter, giving also the highly differentiable back office that we have that creates a very unique and easy to, you know, and a very unique seamless opportunity for our patients and surgeons that prescribe and use BGT.

Okay. Great. Maybe just one last one. The large customer that impacted pricing in the first quarter, I don't know if that's something you can quantitate going forward, and I assume that will anniversary, I guess, first quarter next year. Just your thoughts on that?

Speaker 5

Yeah. Jason, we said our volume growth was 7% and overall growth was 5.4%. That's basically the differences of pricing.

Is it all due to that single customer, or is that, I assume, pricing across the board?

The vast majority of it is due to that customer.

Okay, thank you. I'll jump back in queue.

Speaker 6

There are no further questions at this time. Julie Dewey, I turn the call back over to you.

Speaker 2

Great. Thank you, Kayla. Thanks, everybody, for joining us today. Your time and interest in Orthofix Medical Inc. is appreciated. If you have questions, please reach out. We'll look forward to talking to you next quarter. This concludes our call.
