Segment performance

Gross profit margin for the first quarter was 84.7% down from 86.4% in the same period of 2024.

Q&A highlights
Q: Could you share anecdotally about the response and performance of Cohealyx from its limited commercial launch and pending full launch?

Q: Any sense of RECELL GO mini's response in Level 1 and Level 2 trauma centers?
A: Good response from existing VAC approved accounts in trauma area, with RECELL GO mini covering wounds under 2.5% total body surface area, and the portfolio providing more value to trauma surgeons.
Q: Potential revenue contributions from Cohealyx launch and target attachment rates?

A: Sales force is reconfigured, with clinical specialists converted to sales associate roles, and a selling-oriented model trained, feeling good about staffing level to reach targets.
Q: Cadence of revenues through rest of 2025?
A: Expect sequential growth every quarter, with some weighted towards back end as Cohealyx gains more VAC approvals.
