Added paragraphs (1)

Current report

General and administrative expenses decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to an overall decrease in compensation-related and stock-based compensation expense. The decrease was partially offset by the higher legal costs related to the stockholder class action and related derivative lawsuits.
Removed paragraphs (3)

Previous report

In July 2023, we received a warning letter (the Warning Letter) from the FDA that raised two observations. The first observation asserted that certain content reviewed by the FDA and found on our website promotes Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT), a modality outside of the current indications for Tablo. The second observation asserted that TabloCart with Prefiltration required prior 510(k) clearance for marketing authorization. TabloCart with Prefiltration is an accessory to Tablo launched in the third quarter of 2022. We took action to address the first observation regarding CRRT promotion through revision of processes and procedures and updates to existing labeling and promotional materials. We also took action to address the second observation regarding TabloCart with Prefiltration. Although we evaluated TabloCart with Prefiltration prior to marketing and distributing the product and concluded that no marketing authorization was necessary, we paused distribution of TabloCart with Prefiltration pending the FDA’s review and clearance of a 510(k) application for the same that we submitted in September 2023. In early May 2024, we received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for TabloCart with Prefiltration, and we have resumed distribution of TabloCart with Prefiltration. In February 2025, we were notified by the FDA that the issues cited in the Warning Letter have been addressed.

Previous report

In September 2024, we received notice from the Listing Qualifications staff of Nasdaq that we no longer complied with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. Although compliance was regained in December 2024, we received a second notice of non-compliance in February 2025 after again failing to meet the minimum bid price requirement. Following the Reverse Stock Split, the Company regained compliance. However, if we are unable to maintain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement or other applicable Nasdaq listing rules, we may not be able to maintain the listing of our common stock on Nasdaq, which could adversely affect our ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
Reworded paragraphs (19)

Previous wording

We generate revenue from the placement of Tablo consoles along with accessories, and shipping and handling charged to customers, which revenue is recognized up-front. We also earn recurring revenue from sales of consumables, including Tablo cartridge, and services, which generates significant total revenue over the life of Tablo consoles. Our total revenues were $31.4 million and $27.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $61.2 million and $55.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Previous wording

We primarily sell our solutions through our direct sales organization, which covers most major metropolitan markets in the United States. Our sales organization is comprised of our capital sales team, responsible for generating new customer demand for Tablo, and our clinical sales team, responsible for driving utilization and fleet expansion of Tablo at existing customer sites. In addition, our field service team provides maintenance services and product support to our customers. Our field sales and service teams represent 59% of our total full-time employees as of June 30, 2025. The same sales organization and field service team drive Tablo penetration in both the acute and home markets. We believe the ability to leverage one team to serve both markets will result in significant productivity and cost optimization as we continue to scale our business.

Previous wording

We plan to further broaden our installed base by continuing to target national and regional integrated delivery networks and health systems, SNFs, LTACHs and other post-acute providers. In addition, we focus on driving utilization and fleet expansion with existing customers by providing an exceptional user experience delivered through our commercial team and a steady release of software enhancements that amplify Tablo’s operational reliability and clinical versatility. Our ability to successfully execute on this strategy, and thereby increase our revenue in the acute market, will depend on several factors. These factors include our ability to recover from the adverse impact in the field from the Warning Letter as we resume distribution of TabloCart with Prefiltration, as well as the success of our initiatives to optimize and further evolve our commercial organization, infrastructure and sales processes to support the growth of our business in the acute and post-acute care markets as we focus more heavily on enterprise selling and transition beyond earlier stage adoption of Tablo.

Previous wording

From a supply chain perspective, we have worked closely with our manufacturing partners and suppliers to enable us to source key components and maintain appropriate inventory levels to meet customer demand, and have not experienced material disruptions in our supply chain to date. However, macroeconomic factors such as rising inflation, increasing labor costs, and surges and shifts in consumer demand have disrupted the operations of certain of our third-party suppliers, resulting, in some cases, in increased lead times and higher component costs. We believe that localizing production of a majority of Tablo cartridges in Mexico (in-house at our manufacturing facility) has helped achieve cost reductions through lower freight costs, further our long-term gross margin expansion and supply continuity strategies and improve the flexibility of our operations. However, we may face increased supply chain constraints in the future, which could negatively impact our ability to meet customer demand on a timely basis, result in customer dissatisfaction and adversely impact our operating margins and results of operations. Moreover, increased tariffs imposed by the current administration, including on goods imported into the United States from Mexico and China, could adversely impact our supply chain and distribution costs, as well as our ability to achieve sustainable gross margins. While we do not believe we have exposure to these potential tariffs as Tablo, TabloCart and Tablo cartridge are covered under a special exemption, we cannot predict what actions may ultimately be taken with respect to tariffs or trade relations between the United States and other countries (including Mexico and China), what products may be subject to such actions, or what actions may be taken by the other countries in retaliation.

Moreover, increased tariffs imposed by the current administration, including on goods imported into the United States from Mexico and China, could adversely impact our supply chain and distribution costs, as well as our ability to achieve sustainable gross margins. We currently do not believe we have exposure to these tariffs as Tablo, TabloCart and Tablo cartridge are covered under a special exemption. However, in September 2025, the U.S. Department of Commerce initiated an investigation under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 to assess the national security implications of imports of personal protective equipment, medical consumables, and medical equipment, including medical devices. The outcome of this investigation could result in additional tariffs or other trade restrictions. While we continue to believe our products will remain exempt, the scope and outcome of the investigation are uncertain and could affect existing exemptions or expand coverage to additional product categories. We cannot predict what actions may ultimately be taken with respect to tariffs or trade relations between the United States and other countries (including Mexico and China), what products may be subject to such actions, or what actions may be taken by the other countries in retaliation.

Previous wording

The net cash used in operating activities of $30.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was due to a net loss of $44.3 million, a net cash outflow from the change in our operating assets and liabilities of $5.3 million, and the amortization of premiums on investments of $1.0 million, which were adjusted by loss on extinguishment of term loan of $7.7 million, stock-based compensation expense of $6.5 million, depreciation and amortization of $2.4 million, provision for credit losses of $1.6 million, non-cash interest expense of $1.3 million, non-cash lease expense of $0.8 million, and provision for inventories of $0.2 million. The net cash outflow from operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to a decrease in accrued compensation and related benefits resulting from the payouts of 2024 annual cash bonus, a decrease in accrued interest as a result of the termination of the SLR Term Loan, a decrease in accounts payable, an increase in accounts receivable resulting from the timing of collection and decreases in operating lease liabilities and accrued warranty liability.
