Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis, or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many important factors, including those set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 25, 2025, our actual results could differ materially from the results described in, or implied, by these forward-looking statements.*

### Overview

We are a medical device company dedicated to solving musculoskeletal disorders of the sacropelvic anatomy. Leveraging our knowledge of pelvic anatomy and biomechanics, we have pioneered proprietary minimally invasive surgical implant systems to address sacroiliac joint dysfunction as well as address unmet clinical needs in pelvic fixation and management of pelvic fractures.

Our products include a series of patented titanium implants and the instruments used to implant them, as well as implantable bone products. Since launching our first generation iFuse in 2009, we have launched multiple implant product lines, including iFuse-3D in 2017, iFuse TORQ in 2021, iFuse Bedrock Granite in 2022, and iFuse INTRA and iFuse TORQ TNT in 2024. In the United States, iFuse, iFuse-3D, iFuse TORQ and iFuse Bedrock Granite have clearances for applications in sacroiliac joint dysfunction, adult spinal deformity and pelvic trauma. iFuse TORQ TNT has clearances for applications in pelvic trauma and sacroiliac joint dysfunction. In Europe, iFuse, iFuse-3D and iFuse TORQ are approved for applications in sacroiliac fusion, adult spinal deformity and pelvic fracture fixation.

We market our products primarily with a direct sales force as well as a number of third-party sales agents in the United States, and with a combination of a direct sales force, and sales agents and resellers in other countries. As of June 30, 2025, over 127,000 procedures have been performed using our products by over 4,600 physicians in the United States and 38 other countries since we introduced iFuse in 2009.

### Factors Affecting Results of Operations and Key Performance Indicators

We monitor certain key performance indicators that we believe provide us and our investors indications of conditions that may affect results of our operations. Our revenue growth rate and commercial progress is impacted by, among other things, our key performance indicators, including our ability to expand access to solutions, increase physician penetration, launch new products, address human capital needs and gain operational efficiencies.

### Expand Access to Solutions

As we expand our portfolio, the experience, caliber, and strong clinician relationships of our sales force, including our network of third-party sales agents, will be crucial to drive adoption of our future products and procedures. Since our initial public offering in 2018, we have made significant investments in our commercial infrastructure to build a valuable sales team to expand the market, drive physician engagement and deliver revenue growth.

While we will continue to selectively expand our sales force, we are also focused on increasing our sales managers' capacity and driving sales force productivity by adding more clinical support specialists and implementing hybrid models, including selectively adding third-party sales agents for case coverage, and by placing instrument trays and implants at select sites of service. This expansion of our sales force is one aspect of increasing the overall number of procedures in a given period that we can support with products, which is what we call “surgical capacity.” Our surgical capacity is also limited by the volume of implant inventory and the number of instrument trays held ready for surgery, either at our headquarters facility, forward deployed with our sales force or placed at customer facilities. As we grow, and as adoption of our solutions continues to mature, our overall surgical capacity may become an important driver of the amount of revenue that we can generate.

As of June 30, 2025, our U.S. sales force consisted of 85 territory sales managers and 75 clinical support specialists directly employed by us and 295 third-party sales agents, compared to 85 territory sales managers and 67 clinical support specialists directly employed by us and 204 third-party sales agents as of June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2025, our international sales force consisted of 10 sales representatives directly employed by us and a total of 29 third-party sales agents and resellers, compared to 11 sales representatives directly employed by us and a total of 29 third-party sales agents and resellers as of June 30, 2024.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, over 30 percent of our procedures for sacroiliac joint dysfunction were performed at ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) or Office-Based Labs (OBLs). With the steady increase in the numbers of minimally invasive procedures, including sacroiliac joint fusion procedures, being performed at ASCs or OBLs, we continue to actively engage with these facilities to educate their management groups on our clinical evidence, exclusive commercial payor coverage and focus on driving improved education and pathways between pain physicians and surgeons.

### Physician Engagement

Engaging and educating physician and other healthcare professionals about the clinical merits and patient benefits of our solutions will be important to grow physician adoption. Our medical affairs team works closely with our sales team to increase physician engagement and activation. Physician activity includes both the number of physicians performing our procedures as well as the number of procedures performed per physician. In addition to training new physicians, we have several initiatives to re-engage inactive physicians.

We use a combination of hands-on cadaveric and dry-lab training, as well as the SI-BONE SImulator - a portable, radiation-free, haptics and computer-based simulator - for training purposes, and optimize our programs to improve adoption rate, time to first case and ultimately physician productivity.

We are currently targeting over 12,000 U.S. physicians, including over 8,000 orthopedic and neurological spine surgeons and approximately 4,500 interventional spine physicians, to perform our procedures. As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, in the United States more than 3,600 and 2,900 physicians, respectively, have been trained on our products and have treated at least one patient. Outside the United States, as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, more than 1,100 and 1,000 physicians, respectively, have been trained on our product and have treated at least one patient. Since launching our academic training program in August 2018, we have trained residents and fellows in over 285 academic programs in the United States, resulting in the training of approximately 2,000 surgical residents and fellows.

### Expand Addressable Markets

Expanding our platform of sacropelvic solutions to address sacroiliac joint dysfunction, pelvic fixation and pelvic trauma has been a key tenet of our strategy, and we have made substantial progress on this mission. With iFuse-3D, iFuse TORQ, iFuse Bedrock Granite and iFuse TORQ TNT, we believe that the value of our innovative, versatile, and complementary product portfolio provides physicians with a comprehensive set of alternatives, and positions us as the top choice for physicians for sacropelvic solutions. We also offer an allograft bone implant for physicians who believe that this kind of implant can be important in addressing sacroiliac joint dysfunction.

Demonstrating the safe and effective use of our implants in post-market clinical trials, including their use in ways that may not yet be part of standard-of-care practice, is an important component of our market-building strategy. In June 2022, we completed enrollment in SILVIA, a two-year prospective international multi-center randomized controlled trial comparing pelvic fixation with and without the addition of an iFuse-3D implant. iFuse-3D is used to provide sacroiliac fusion as part of multilevel spinal fusion procedures, both to improve the stability of the pelvic fixation construct and to decrease the incidence of new-onset postoperative SI joint pain. Data analysis from SILVIA showed that the study’s primary clinical endpoint was met, namely that placement of iFuse-3D implants adjacent to pelvic fixation screws in these procedures reduced the incidence of new-onset SI joint pain following the procedure. A manuscript describing these findings is currently under review.

In September 2022, we began enrolling patients in our SAFFRON study, a prospective randomized controlled trial of surgery using our iFuse TORQ device compared to non-surgical management in patients with debilitating sacral fragility or insufficiency fractures. The study was completed using available data. Results from SAFFRON were published in May 2025 and showed a higher rate of recovery of mobility after surgical treatment using iFuse TORQ compared to non-surgical treatment.

STACI is a prospective study on the use of iFuse TORQ in patients with sacroiliac joint dysfunction. The purpose of STACI is to provide information on the safety and effectiveness of minimally invasive sacroiliac joint fusion performed by interventional physicians using iFuse TORQ. Study enrollment completed in November 2024. Early results from STACI were published in June 2025 and showed that placement of iFuse TORQ by interventional pain management physician was associated with a low adverse event rate and early improvement in pain and function.

We continue to invest in research and development initiatives to bring new and differentiated solutions to the market that deliver on our vision of improving patient quality of life through differentiated solutions to target segments with a clear unmet clinical need. Robust clinical evidence is central to drive adoption and favorable reimbursement, and we remain focused on continuing to set the industry standard in delivering evidence-based care through best-in-class clinical trials that demonstrate the efficacy, safety, and economic benefit of our solutions. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we spent $8.8 million on research and development, equating to 9% of our revenue. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we spent $8.7 million on research and development, equating to 11% of our revenue.

### Enhance Employee Experience and Engagement

Our ability to recruit, develop and retain highly skilled talent is a significant determinant of our success. To attract, develop and retain our talent, we seek to create a diverse and inclusive workplace with opportunities for our employees to thrive and advance in their careers. We support this with market-competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and health and wellness programs.

In addition to fostering an inclusive workplace and ensuring equitable compensation for our employees, we maintain a strong focus on enhancing employee retention and job satisfaction. To achieve this, we have established a feedback mechanism to continually monitor and respond to employee sentiment. Using this feedback, we deploy strategies that enhance the skills of our people managers and improve internal communications with employees. Furthermore, we provide ongoing learning and leadership training opportunities to support professional growth.

In 2024, we conducted instructor-led trainings designed to build people leadership capabilities and train managers on delivering actionable feedback. We have also adopted a goal for each of our managers to have regular check-ins with employees to discuss their personal goals and career plans in furtherance of our commitment to career and professional development.

### Gain Operational Efficiency

To support our growing portfolio of solutions, we continue to evolve our business processes to identify, measure and improve operational efficiency. The information developed will allow us to optimize processes, increase sales force productivity and improve asset utilization.

We are focused on increasing our territory sales managers’ and sales representatives’ capacity, efficiency and productivity. We may do this by adding more clinical support specialists and third-party sales agents as part of hybrid arrangements for case coverage, and by consigning instrument trays and implants at select sites of service. As of June 30, 2025, our trailing twelve month average revenue per territory sales manager has increased to approximately $2.1 million from $1.7 million as of June 30, 2024.

We have made significant investments in instrument trays used to perform surgeries. Our goal is to deploy instrument trays to the market where the demand exists to increase our asset utilization rates over time and use capital more effectively by having our instrument trays used in more surgeries in any given time period. Given supply chain disruptions impacting the industry, we are working closely with our suppliers to reduce lead time for our implants to ensure we can support our expanding physician footprint and over time build the resilience in our supply chain to reduce our cash investment in inventory. Additionally, we are partnering with our suppliers around design for manufacturing, specifically for newer products, to reduce the overall cost of the implants as we scale, and reduce waste and rework. Lastly, we are integrating our demand planning and manufacturing systems, to ensure we leverage actual usage trends as we build surgical capacity to support our growth.

### Components of Results of Operations

### Revenue

Our revenue from sales of implants fluctuates based on volume of cases (procedures performed), discounts, mix of international and U.S. sales, different implant pricing and the number of implants used for a particular patient. Similar to other orthopedic companies, our case volume can vary from quarter to quarter due to a variety of factors including reimbursement, sales force changes, physician activities, product launches, and seasonality. In addition, our revenue is impacted by changes in average selling price as we respond to the competitive landscape and price differences at different medical facilities, such as hospitals, ASCs and OBLs. Further, revenue results can differ based upon the mix of business between U.S. and international sales mix of our products used, and the sales channel through which each procedure is supported. Our revenue from international sales is impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar (our reporting currency) and the local currency.

Our business is affected by seasonal variations. For instance, we have historically experienced lower sales in the summer months and higher sales in the last quarter of the fiscal year as patients have more time in the winter months to have the procedure completed or want to take advantage of their annual limits on deductibles, co-payments and other out-of-pocket payments specified in their insurance plans. However, taken as a whole, seasonality does not have a material impact on our financial results from year to year.

### Cost of Goods Sold, Gross Profit, and Gross Margin

We utilize third-party manufacturers for production of our implants and instrument trays. Cost of goods sold consists primarily of costs of the components of implants and instruments, instrument tray depreciation, royalties, scrap and inventory obsolescence, as well as distribution-related expenses such as logistics and shipping costs. Our cost of goods sold has historically increased as case levels increase and from changes in our product mix.

### Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses consist of sales and marketing, research and development, and general and administrative expenses. Personnel costs are the most significant component of operating expenses and consist of salaries, sales commissions and other cash and stock-based compensation related expenses. We intend to make investments to execute our strategic plans and operational initiatives. We anticipate certain operating expenses will continue to increase to support our growth.

#### Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of salaries, stock-based compensation expense, and other compensation related costs, for personnel employed in sales, marketing, medical affairs, reimbursement and professional education departments. In addition, our sales and marketing expenses include commissions and bonuses, generally based on a percentage of sales, as well as certain commission guarantees paid to our senior sales management, territory sales managers, clinical support specialists and third-party sales agents.

#### Research and Development Expenses

Our research and development expenses primarily consist of engineering, product development, clinical and regulatory expenses (including clinical study expenses), consulting services, outside prototyping services, outside research activities, materials, depreciation, and other costs associated with development of our products. Research and development expenses also include related personnel compensation and stock-based compensation expense. We expense research and development costs as they are incurred.

Research and development expenses for engineering projects fluctuate with project timing. Based upon our broader set of product development initiatives and the stage of the underlying projects, we expect to continue to make investments in research and development. As such, we anticipate that research and development expenses will continue to increase in the future.

#### General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses primarily consist of salaries, stock-based compensation expense, and other costs for finance, accounting, legal, insurance, compliance, and administrative matters.

### Interest Income

Interest income is primarily related to our investments of excess cash in money market funds and marketable securities.

### Interest Expense

Interest expense is primarily related to borrowings, amortization of debt issuance costs, and accretion of final fees on the First-Citizens Third Amended Loan Agreement.

### Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net consists primarily of net foreign exchange gains and losses on foreign transactions.

*Sales and Marketing Expenses.* The increase in sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to a $4.2 million increase in commissions and personnel costs driven by higher revenues, partially offset by $1.1 million decrease in travel costs and stock-based compensation.

*Research and Development Expenses.* The research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 is consistent as compared to the research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

*General and Administrative Expenses*. The increase in general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to a $2.5 million increase in personnel costs and stock-based compensation associated with an increase in headcount within general and administrative departments, and a $1.7 million increase in legal, consulting, and bad debt expense.

***Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net:***

*(in thousands, except for percentages)*

|  | Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 | 2024 | $ Change | % Change |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Interest income | $3,112 | $4,128 | $(1,016) | (24.6)% |

| Total interest and other expense, net | $1,790 | $2,278 | $(488) | (21.4)% |

*Interest Income.* The decrease in interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to lower investment balance.

*Interest Expense*. The decrease in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to lower interest rates associated with the First-Citizens Third Amendment Term Loan.

*Other Income (Expense), Net.* The change in other income (expense), net for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to foreign currency fluctuations.

### Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2025, we had cash and marketable securities of $145.5 million as compared to $150.0 million as of December 31, 2024. We have financed our operations primarily through the sale of our common stock in our public offerings and debt financing arrangements. As of both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $35.5 million in outstanding debt.

As of June 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $444.0 million as compared to $431.4 million as of December 31, 2024. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we incurred a net loss of $6.2 million. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we incurred a net loss of $30.9 million and $43.3 million, respectively, and expect to incur additional losses in the future. We have not achieved positive cash flow from operations to date.

Based upon our current operating plan, we believe that our existing cash and marketable securities will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements over the next 12 months from the filing of this Form 10-Q. However, the financial impact of a potential economic downturn or capital market disruptions pose risks to and uncertainties in our future available capital resources. We may face challenges and uncertainties and, as a result, may need to raise additional capital as our available capital resources may be consumed more rapidly than currently expected due to, but not limited to (a) decreases in sales of our products and the uncertainty of future revenues from new products; (b) changes we may make to the business that affect ongoing operating expenses; (c) changes we may make in our business strategy; (d) regulatory and reimbursement developments affecting our existing products; (e) changes we may make in our research and development spending plans; and (f) other items affecting our forecasted level of expenditures and use of cash resources. In addition, as we seek to deploy new product offerings, the need for additional capital to fund the purchase of inventories of implants and instrument trays may become more acute and may limit the number of revenue opportunities that we pursue. Each new product family introduced typically requires the purchase of consumable implant inventory as well as investment in a fleet of instrument trays required to support procedures nationwide.

### Term Loan

Our outstanding debt is related to a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Original Loan Agreement”) dated August 12, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), entered into by us and Silicon Valley Bank, a California corporation (“SVB”). Pursuant to the Original Loan Agreement, SVB provided us with a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $35.0 million (the “Original Term Loan”).

On January 6, 2023, we entered into a First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement with SVB (the “First Amendment”, and together with the Original Loan Agreement, collectively the “Amended Loan Agreement”). Upon entry into the Amended Loan Agreement, we borrowed $36.0 million pursuant to a new term loan (the “First Amendment Term Loan”), which was substantially used to repay in full the $35.0 million Original Term Loan outstanding under the Original Loan Agreement, and we also obtained a secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $15.0 million (the “Revolving Line").

On January 25, 2024, we entered into a Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank, a division of First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company, as successor in interest to SVB (“First-Citizens”) which further amended our Amended Loan Agreement (the “Second Amendment” and together with the Amended Loan Agreement, collectively, the “Second Amended Loan Agreement”). The Second Amendment revised certain provisions related to financial covenants and the periods in which such covenants applied.

On November 8, 2024, we entered into a Third Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement with First-Citizens (the “Third Amendment” and together with the Second Amended Loan Agreement, collectively, the “Third Amended Loan Agreement”), relative to a new term loan in the original aggregate principal amount of $36.0 million extended by First-Citizens to the Company (the “Third Amendment Term Loan”), which was substantially used to refinance and repay in full the then-outstanding $36.0 million existing First Amendment Term Loan. We also paid a certain final payment fee due relative to such prior First Amendment Term Loan. The Third Amendment set the maturity date for the Third Amendment Term Loan to September 1, 2029 (the "Third Amendment Term Loan Maturity Date"), and set the first principal repayment due date relative to the Third Amendment Term Loan to October 1, 2027; provided that upon the achievement of the Performance Milestone (as defined in the Third Amendment), the first principal payment shall become due on October 1, 2028. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Third Amendment Term Loan is payable monthly at a floating rate per annum equal to the greater of 4.25% and the WSJ prime rate minus 0.5%. The Company may elect to prepay the Third Amendment Term Loan in whole prior to the Third Amendment Term Loan Maturity Date, subject to a prepayment fee equal to 1.5% of the original principal amount of the Third Amendment Term Loan if the loan is prepaid within 18 months following the closing of the Third Amendment. The Third Amendment further revised certain provisions related to financial covenants and the periods in which such covenants apply, and First-Citizens and the Company also agreed to terminate the Revolving Line and an uncommitted accordion term loan provision.

Our material cash requirements include various contractual and other obligations consisting of long-term debt obligations with First-Citizens, operating lease obligations and purchase obligations with some of our suppliers and have not changed materially since the Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 25, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, expected timing of those payments are as follows:

*(in thousands)*

|  | Total | Payments Due By Period Less than 1 year | 1-3 years | 4-5 years | More than 5 years |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Principal obligations (1) | $36,000 | $— | $6,000 | $30,000 | $— |
| Interest obligations (2) | 8,207 | 1,288 | 5,056 | 1,863 | — |
| Operating lease obligations | 1,491 | 540 | 935 | 16 | — |
| Purchase obligations | 1,902 | 1,902 | — | — | — |
| Total | $47,600 | $3,730 | $11,991 | $31,879 | $— |

(1) Represents the principal obligations of our First-Citizens Third Amendment Term Loan.

(2) Represents the future interest obligations on our First-Citizens Third Amendment Term Loan estimated using an interest rate of 7% as of June 30, 2025.

This compares to $48.1 million of contractual obligations as of December 31, 2024.

### Cash Flows

The following table sets forth the primary sources and uses of cash for each of the periods presented below:

*(in thousands)*

| Net cash provided by (used in): | Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 | 2024 | $ Change |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Operating activities | $(4,738) | $(13,905) | $9,167 |
| Investing activities | 1,159 | 4,517 | (3,358) |
| Financing activities | 2,336 | 1,881 | 455 |
| Effects of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents | 445 | (187) | 632 |
| Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents | $(798) | $(7,694) | $6,896 |

#### Cash Used in Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 of $4.7 million resulted from cash outflows due to a net loss of $12.7 million, adjusted for $16.6 million of non-cash items, and cash outflows from net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $8.7 million. Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 of $13.9 million resulted from cash outflows due to a net loss of $19.8 million, adjusted for $14.0 million of non-cash items, and cash outflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities of $8.1 million. The decrease in net loss, net of non-cash items for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 was mainly due to increased revenues. Net cash outflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to higher inventory build-up related to our new product introductions and lower accrued liabilities attributable to the normal timing of expenses, offset by lower account receivable balance resulting from improved collections. Net cash outflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to lower accrued liabilities attributable to the normal course timing of expenses and higher Account Receivable due to timing of collection.

#### Cash Flows From Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $1.2 million as compared to cash provided by investing activities of $4.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024. Net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 consisted of maturities of our marketable securities net of purchases of $5.3 million, and purchases of property and equipment of $4.2 million primarily related to individual components in instrument sets to support revenue growth. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 consisted of purchases of our marketable securities net of maturities of $9.7 million, and purchases of property and equipment of $5.2 million primarily related to individual components in instrument sets.

#### Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $2.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively, resulting from the issuance of common stock under our stock-based incentive compensation plans.

### Critical Accounting Policies, Significant Judgments, and Use of Estimates

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported revenue generated, and expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Our critical accounting policies and estimates are described in “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies, Significant Judgments, and Use of Estimates” in our 2024 Annual Report. There had been no material changes to the descriptions of these accounting policies, judgments and estimates.

### Seasonality

Our business is affected by seasonal variations. For instance, we have historically experienced lower sales in the summer months and higher sales in the last quarter of the fiscal year. However, taken as a whole, seasonality does not have a material impact on our financial results.

## Market risk

As filed, 2,676 characters.

We are exposed to market risks, including changes to foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.

### Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We have foreign currency risks related to our revenue and operating expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily the Euro. Accordingly, changes in exchange rates, and in particular a strengthening of the U.S. dollar, have in the past, and may in the future, negatively affect our revenue and other operating results as expressed in U.S. dollars.

We have experienced and will continue to experience fluctuations in net loss as a result of transaction gains or losses related to remeasuring certain current asset and current liability balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the entities in which they are recorded. At this time, we have not entered into, but in the future we may enter into, derivatives or other financial instruments in an attempt to hedge our foreign currency exchange risk. It is difficult to predict the effect hedging activities would have on our results of operations. Foreign currency gains or losses, net recognized in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were not material. A hypothetical 100 basis point change in foreign exchange rates during any of the periods presented would not have had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

### Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to changes in interest rates relates to interest earned and market value on our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. Our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments consist of cash, money market funds, U.S. government securities. The market value of our marketable securities may decline if current market interest rates rise. Our investment policy and strategy are focused on preservation of capital and supporting our liquidity requirements. We do not make investments for trading or speculative purposes.

With the execution of the Third Amendment with First-Citizens relative to the Third Amendment Term Loan, interest is payable monthly at a floating annual rate set at the greater of the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal minus 0.5% or 4.25%. Rising interest rates will increase the amount of interest paid on this debt. We believe that our exposure to interest rate risk is not significant due to the low risk profile of our investments and the amount of our Third Amendment Term Loan, therefore a hypothetical 100 basis point change in market interest rates during any of the periods presented would not have had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

## Controls and procedures

As filed, 2,053 characters.

### Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

As of June 30, 2025, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a‑15(e) and 15d‑15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on that evaluation, our CEO and our CFO have concluded that, as of June 30, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

### Changes in internal control over financial reporting

During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

## Risk factors

As filed, 15,904 characters.

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our 2024 Annual Report. The risk factors described in our 2024 Annual Report, as well as other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, and should be carefully considered. The risks and uncertainties that we face, however, are not limited to those described in the 2024 Annual Report. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also adversely affect our business and the trading price of our securities

***Disruptions in the supply of the materials and components used in manufacturing our products or the sterilization of our products by third-party suppliers could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.***

Our suppliers purchase many of the materials and components used in the manufacture of our products from third-party suppliers. Certain of these materials and components can only be obtained from a single source or a limited number of sources due to quality considerations, expertise, costs or constraints resulting from regulatory requirements. In certain cases, our suppliers may not be able to establish additional or replacement suppliers for such materials or components or outsourced activities in a timely or cost-effective manner. A reduction or interruption in the supply of materials or components used in manufacturing our products, such as due to one or more suppliers experiencing reductions in operations and/or worker absences due to health epidemics, an inability to timely develop and validate alternative sources if required, or a significant increase in the price of such materials or components, such as that caused by tariffs and retaliatory countermeasures, inflation or rising interest rates, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. For example, certain of our products require titanium, which is sourced from third-party suppliers. While the titanium required for such products is not directly sourced from Russia, the current geopolitical events involving Russia and Ukraine are negatively impacting the wider titanium supply chain. These geopolitical events and related factors and results, including related sanctions, may negatively impact the ability of our suppliers’ third-party supply sources to timely supply titanium to our suppliers and may increase or result in additional costs to us. The imposition of tariffs on titanium sourced from Canada or elsewhere could further exacerbate these challenges and increase the cost of our implants.

In addition, many of our products require sterilization prior to sale, and our suppliers use contract sterilizers to perform this service. To the extent that these contract sterilizers are unable to sterilize our products, whether due to capacity, availability of materials for sterilization, regulatory or other constraints, including reductions in operations and/or worker absences due to health epidemics, we may be unable to transition to other contract sterilizers, sterilizer locations or sterilization methods in a timely or cost effective manner or at all, which could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

***Various factors outside our direct control may adversely affect manufacturing, sterilization, and distribution of our products.***

The manufacture, sterilization, and distribution of our products is challenging. Changes that our suppliers may make outside the purview of our direct control can have an impact on our processes, quality of our products, and the successful delivery of products to our customers. Mistakes and mishandling are not uncommon and can affect supply and delivery. Some of these risks include:

- failure to complete sterilization on time or in compliance with the required regulatory standards;
- transportation and import and export risk;
- delays in analytical results or failure of analytical techniques that we depend on for quality control and release of products;
- large-scale epidemics of communicable diseases;
- supply chain disruptions, including those caused by material and labor supply shortages, tariffs and retaliatory countermeasures, and prolonged inflation;
- natural disasters, labor disputes, financial distress, raw material availability, issues with facilities and equipment, or other forms of disruption to business operations affecting our manufacturers or suppliers; and
- latent defects that may become apparent after products have been released and that may result in a recall or field safety corrective action with respect to such products.
- If any of these risks were to materialize, our ability to provide our products to customers on a timely basis could be adversely impacted.

***The price of our common stock may be volatile, and the value of an investment in our common stock could decline.***

Medical device stocks have historically experienced volatility, and the trading price of our common stock may fluctuate substantially. These fluctuations could cause our stockholders to lose all or part of their investment in our common stock. Factors that could cause fluctuations in the trading price of our common stock include the following:

- changes in interest rates, tariff policy investor risk appetite and other macroeconomic factors impacting the market for securities issued by medical device companies;
- the risk of inflation, interest rate increases, economic downturn or instability and other macroeconomic factors impacting patients’ economic ability and likelihood of undergoing elective procedures, whether real or as perceived by investors;
- actual or anticipated changes or fluctuations in our results of operations;
- the impact of infectious diseases, and measures taken to combat them, on our business;
- results of our clinical trials and that of our competitors’ products;
- regulatory actions with respect to our products or our competitor’s products;
- announcements of new offerings, products, services or technologies, commercial relationships, acquisitions, or other events by us or our competitors;
- price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market from time to time;
- significant volatility in the market price and trading volume of healthcare companies, in general, and of companies in the medical device industry in particular;
- fluctuations in the trading volume of our shares or the size of our public float;
- negative publicity;
- whether our results of operations meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors or those expectations change;
- litigation involving us, our industry, or both;
- regulatory developments in the United States, foreign countries, or both;
- lock-up releases and sales of large blocks of our common stock;
- additions or departures of key employees or scientific personnel; and
- general economic conditions and trends.

In addition, if the market for healthcare stocks or the stock market, in general, experience a further loss of investor confidence, the trading price of our common stock could decline for reasons unrelated to our business, results of operations, or financial condition. The trading price of our common stock might also decline in reaction to events that affect other companies in our industry even if these events do not directly affect us. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been brought against that company. If our stock price is volatile, we may become the target of securities litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention and resources from our business. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

***Inadequate funding for the FDA and other government agencies, disruptions or diminishment of the workforces of these government agencies, or a work slowdown or stoppage at those agencies as part of a broader federal government shutdown, or comparable scenarios with foreign regulatory authorities, could hinder their ability to hire and retain key leadership and other personnel, prevent new products and services from being developed or commercialized in a timely manner, or otherwise prevent those agencies from performing normal business functions on which the operation of our business may rely, which could negatively impact our business.***

The ability of the FDA to review and approve or clear new products can be affected by a variety of factors, including government budget and funding levels, ability to hire and retain key personnel and accept the payment of user fees, and statutory, regulatory, and policy changes and other events that may otherwise affect the FDA’s ability to perform routine functions. Disruptions at FDA and other agencies may also slow the time necessary for new product applications to be reviewed and/or approved by necessary government agencies, which could adversely affect our business. For example, in recent years, including for 35 days beginning on December 22, 2018, the U.S. government shut down several times and certain regulatory agencies, such as the FDA, had to furlough critical employees and stop critical activities. Average review times at FDA have fluctuated in recent years as a result. In addition, funding of other government agencies on which our operations may rely is subject to the political process, which is inherently fluid and unpredictable. More recently, the FDA and other governmental agencies in the U.S. have been subject to sudden and dramatic reductions in the workforces due to termination of probationary employees, broad-based offers of early retirement to government employees and other efforts led by the Department of Government Efficiency under the current presidential administration. The impact of these reductions to the federal workforce remains to be seen.

If a prolonged government shutdown occurs, continued reductions in the U.S. governmental workforce, or if global health concerns or other political or world events prevent the FDA or other regulatory authorities from conducting their regular reviews or other regulatory activities, it could significantly impact the ability of the FDA to timely review and process our regulatory submissions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. Future government shutdowns or delays could also impact our ability to access the public markets and obtain capital to fund the growth of our operations. Similar considerations and concerns apply to foreign regulatory authorities.

***Our ability to access credit on favorable terms, if necessary, for the funding of our operations and capital projects may be limited due to changes in credit markets.***

In the past, the credit markets and the financial services industry have experienced disruption characterized by the bankruptcy, failure, collapse or sale of various financial institutions, increased volatility in securities prices, diminished liquidity and credit availability and intervention from the U.S. and other governments. Continued concerns about the systemic impact of potential long-term or widespread downturn, energy costs, geopolitical issues, tariff policy and potential trade wars, the availability and cost of credit, the global commercial and residential real estate markets and related mortgage markets and reduced consumer confidence have contributed to increased market volatility. The cost and availability of credit has been and may continue to be adversely affected by these conditions. We cannot be certain that funding for our capital needs will be available from our existing financial institutions and the credit markets if needed, and if available, to the extent required and on acceptable terms. On November 8, 2024, we entered into a Third Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) with Silicon Valley Bank, a division of First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company (“First-Citizen”), which amends the Company’s Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of August 12, 2021 (the “Original Loan Agreement”), as amended by that certain First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of January 6, 2023 (the “First Amendment”) and that certain Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of January 25, 2024 (the “Second Amendment” and collectively with the Original Loan Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment, Second Amendment and Third Amendment, the “Third Amended Loan Agreement”). The Third Amendment Term Loan extended by First-Citizens to us pursuant to the current Third Amended Loan Agreement terminates and matures on September 1, 2029, and if we cannot renew or refinance this Third Amendment Term Loan, if needed at such time, or obtain funding when needed, in each case on acceptable terms, such conditions may have an adverse effect on our ability to operate our business. See “Note 7. Borrowings” to the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in this report for additional information.

***Uncertainty in the coverage and reimbursement environment may decrease demand for our products and adversely affect our business.***

Minimally invasive surgical sacroiliac joint fusion procedures are primarily separated into two main types: procedures where the devices transfix the joint, and newer procedures using intra-articular (in-line) devices that do not transfix the joint. The transfixing procedures are described by CPT Code 27279. The non-transfixing procedures are described by CPT Code 27278, which was adopted by the AMA CPT Editorial Panel on January 1, 2024.

We believe that the favorable coverage and reimbursement profile of CPT Code 27279 as compared to CPT Code 27278 is a result of third-party payers’ review and assessment of peer-reviewed clinical literature supporting its use. Most procedures available to U.S. patients have a clear coding interpretation, reported as either CPT Code 27279 or 27278. Ambiguity exists, however, over the proper categorization of some sacroiliac joint devices which use an intra-articular (in-line) approach, but also have integrated fixation design features which “pierce” ilium and sacrum bones on either side of the implant. The AMA has accepted a proposal via the CPT Editorial process to change some of the code definition for CPT Code 27279, to allow newer sacroiliac joint procedures to be reported effective January 1, 2026. These changes will impact the code definition for CPT 27279, but not for CPT 27278.

If procedures requiring lower work effort supported by lower-quality clinical evidence, and/or having less favorable patient outcomes are reported via CPT Code 27279 as a result of changes to the code definitions, it may contribute to a loss of value for CPT Code 27279. This dynamic could also prompt reevaluations of third-party payers’ coverage policies, which could ultimately decrease demand for our products and negatively impact our business and prospects. Additionally, if physicians and facilities are confused about the proper coding for our products or our competitors’ products, physicians may choose competitors’ products or choose not to perform sacroiliac joint procedures altogether, which would adversely affect demand for our products.

Any changes of, or uncertainty with respect to, future coverage or reimbursement rates could affect demand for our products, which in turn could impact our ability to successfully commercialize our products and could have an adverse material effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
