• Results were well above Wall Street consensus: revenue beat by ~12.9% and EPS swung to a positive $0.02 vs an expected loss of -$0.01; adjusted EBITDA materially exceeded estimates, aided by licensing and royalty revenue and cost discipline .

What Went Well and What Went Wrong

What Went Well

• Strong top-line growth and mix: revenue +18% y/y to $35.4M, driven by orthobiologics and licensing; gross margin expanded to 68.6% (from 62.1%) on royalty revenue, lower product costs, and scale .
• Profitability inflection: net income $3.6M vs loss of $3.9M prior-year; adjusted EBITDA $6.9M vs loss of $0.6M y/y; positive operating cash flow of ~$1.2M .
• Strategic focus and portfolio cleanup: definitive agreements to sell non-core Coflex/CoFix and OUS businesses (~$19.2M proceeds) to strengthen the balance sheet and focus on higher-margin biologics; CEO: “We delivered strong financial and operating results… enhancing our focus on our core biologics business… driving operating leverage, consistent profitability, and cash flow” .

What Went Wrong

• Continued reliance on non-GAAP adjustments: adjusted EBITDA excludes separation-related expenses, non-cash compensation, divestiture/acquisition-related costs, fair value adjustments, and FX; methodology recast since Q4 2024, complicating comparability .
• Operating expense still sizable: total OpEx $19.7M, though improved y/y vs $21.5M; sales and marketing remains the largest component ($11.6M), implying ongoing investment needs .
• Execution risks around divestiture financing and timing: transaction subject to Companion Spine funding and customary conditions; if delayed, interim deposits contemplated, and note maturity by year-end adds timing risk .

Financial Results

• Drivers: Q2 revenue included product revenue of $30.436M and license revenue of $4.975M; license/royalty contributed to gross margin expansion and profitability .
• Non-GAAP methodology: adjusted EBITDA recast starting Q4 2024 to exclude phased bargain purchase gain sell-through on acquired inventory from Surgalign; prior period comparatives recast accordingly .

Key Takeaways for Investors

• Margin expansion is real and repeatable: licensing/royalty revenue plus vertical integration lowered product costs, expanding gross margins to 68.6% and lifting adjusted EBITDA margins to 22.7% .
• Profitability inflection: swing to GAAP profitability and strong adjusted EBITDA beat indicate operating leverage and improved cost structure; monitor sustainability of license/royalty streams .
• Cleaner, higher-margin portfolio: pending sale of non-core implants and OUS businesses (~$19.2M proceeds) should reduce debt and enhance liquidity, focusing capital on biologics growth .
• Guidance trajectory positive: FY25 revenue raised twice this year (now $131–$135M) and likely to be revisited post-divestiture; watch for incremental updates in H2 2025 .
• Estimate revisions likely: consensus underappreciated license/royalty impact; expect upward adjustments to EBITDA and EPS trajectories. Values retrieved from S&P Global.
• Execution watchpoints: divestiture closing/funding, non-GAAP adjustments consistency, and continued OpEx discipline; monitor FX and interest expense headwinds .
• Near-term trading setup: beats plus guidance raise are supportive; any confirmation of divestiture close and additional product launch traction (e.g., OsteoFactor Pro™, Trivium™) could be incremental catalysts .
