Q&A Highlights
- Physician density lever: only ~25% of SI surgeons perform another modality; expanding cross-platform use and two 2026 launches should deepen density; operating leverage expected in 1.25–1.75x range over time .
- Guidance philosophy: top-end updated to incorporate ~$2M Q3 outperformance; early Q4 momentum solid (strong October, November trends) despite tougher comp .
- Gross margin durability: medium-term GM seen stabilizing ~78–78.5% (vs prior expectations), with non-cash depreciation a headwind offset by potential cost reductions and operating leverage .
- Commercial footprint: target ~100 territories over 12–18 months (from 88); hybrid model expansion (agents) to support demand and 2026 launches .
- Reimbursement and TNT adoption: NTAP >$4,100 effective Oct 1 supports hospital economics; fielding interest from national trauma distributors to scale TNT .
Estimates Context
- Q3 2025: Revenue $48.66M vs $46.67M consensus (+$1.99M, ~+4.2%); EPS $(0.11) vs $(0.165) (+$0.055). S&P Global target price consensus: ~$24.89 across 9 estimates (for context).*
- S&P’s standardized EBITDA actual was $(3.90)M vs $0.30M consensus; note this differs from company-reported adjusted EBITDA of +$2.3M due to metric definitions (S&P excludes add-backs that company includes).*
- FY25 consensus $199.04M aligns with raised $198–$200M guide; FY26 consensus revenue ~$229.5M mid-teens growth with upside dependent on product ramps and tailwinds.*

Key Takeaways for Investors
- Quality beat and raise: clear top- and bottom-line outperformance vs consensus, plus higher FY25 revenue and gross margin targets should support positive estimate revisions and sentiment .
- Structural tailwinds into 2026: 17% OBL reimbursement increase (SI joint), TNT NTAP >$4,100, likely Granite TPT extension, and robotics-enabled workflows underpin multi-year adoption and mix benefits .
- Execution leverage showing up: 75 bps GM expansion, OpEx down QoQ, adjusted EBITDA inflecting, and positive operating cash flow—supporting the case for FCF positive in 2026 .
- Physician flywheel: record quarterly physician adds (+330) and low cross-modality penetration (~25%) create a long runway for density-driven growth as the platform expands .
- International optionality: early EU TORQ momentum should contribute more visibly in 2026; broader OUS portfolio expansion under evaluation .
- Watch the definitions: S&P-standardized EBITDA will differ from company adjusted EBITDA; anchor EPS and revenue comparisons on S&P for consistency, but use company Adj. EBITDA to track internal profitability .
- Near-term catalysts: Q4 print vs elevated comp; updates on 2026 SI-joint and late-2026 breakthrough device timelines; distributor partnerships for TNT; progress toward ~100 territories .
