Current report

During 2025, management completed a quantitative analysis as part of our annual impairment test, and determined the fair value of our ApiFix, MedTech, Orthex and Telos trademark assets were below their respective carrying values. Additionally, in connection with our decision to exit our Telos regulatory consulting business, we wrote off the remaining carrying value of its customer relationship intangible asset. We recorded an impairment charge of $4.6 million and $1.8 million during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. See Note 5 - Goodwill and Intangible Assets for further details.

Current report

Income tax expense (benefit) had a change of $4.6 million, with income tax expense of$0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to income tax benefit of $4.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The year-over-year change was largely driven by the remeasurement of the valuation allowance in 2024 subsequent to recording the deferred tax liability as a result of the purchase accounting from the Boston O&P acquisition, resulting in a large income tax benefit.

Current report

We classify our implant and bracing inventory as a current asset and the related deployed instrument inventory is classified within Property and Equipment, Net. Instruments are reusable hand-held devices, specifically designed for use with our implants, and are used by surgeons during surgery. Instruments are typically not sold and are routinely used longer than one year. The implant and bracing inventory is classified as a current asset because it is expected to be sold, consumed, or converted into cash within a year or within the normal operating cycle of the business. Each inventory set contains multiple sizes of implants, most of which do not expire. The usage of the majority of the surgical implants falls within a normal standard deviation, however to meet patient needs, the surgeon requires access to all implant sizes within each set because they may not know what implant sizes are needed until in surgery. The need to stock sufficient amounts of inventory in various sizes results in higher inventory levels which can and does lead to longer inventory turns. The outlier implant sizes not routinely used in surgery will remain in the set until required for a surgery which could be several months after consignment, extending inventory turns. Before inventory sets are consigned and used in surgery, the Company acquires the necessary set components which are initially recorded as inventory. When all implants are received and the entire set is complete, the set is deployed into the distribution channel as consigned inventory for surgical use in new or existing children’s hospitals within a distributor’s geographical territory. Since all implants are necessary before a set can be placed on consignment, there is additional lead time required between product procurement, receipt, and deployment into the channel, which typically takes several months. In addition, the Company’s surgical implant business has historically experienced aggressive growth, typically in excess of 20% annually, which has also contributed to increased inventory levels to meet current and future customer demand.

Current report

The market approach considered valuation multiples of comparable publicly traded companies and recent market transactions.

Previous wording

We sell implants, instruments and specialized braces to our customers for use by pediatric orthopedic surgeons, orthotists or physical therapists to treat orthopedic conditions in children. We provide our implants in sets that consist of a range of implant sizes and include the instruments necessary to perform the surgical procedure. In the United States and a few selected international markets, our customers typically expect us to have full sets of implants and instruments on site at each hospital but do not purchase the implants until they are used in surgery. Accordingly, we must make an up-front investment in inventory of consigned implants and instruments before we can generate revenue from a particular hospital and we maintain substantial levels of inventory at any given time. We operate approximately 30 orthotic and prosthetic ("O&P") clinics in the United States serving children's hospitals in numerous states. In the international markets where we sell to stocking distributors or in the case of our braces, we transfer control of our products to the distributor or customer when title passes upon shipment.

The majority of our revenue from implants, instruments and specialized braces has been generated in the United States. Our global sales management organization leads a network of sales agencies, stocking distributors as well as direct sales representatives. We sell our implants and instruments through a network of multiple direct sales representatives as well as nearly over 40 independent sales agencies employing approximately 230 sales representatives specifically focused on pediatrics. These independent sales agents are trained by us, distribute our products and are compensated through sales-based commissions and performance bonuses. We do not sell our products through or participate in physician-owned distributorships, or PODs. The revenue generated in the United States from our bracing products is sold directly to orthopedic surgeons, orthotists, physical therapists or, at certain times, directly to the end customer.

Previous wording

We market and sell our products internationally inover 75 coun tries through independent stocking distributors and sales agencies. Our independent stocking distributors manage the billing relationship with each hospital in their respective territories and are responsible for servicing the product needs of their surgeon customers. In 2017, we began to supplement our international stocking distributors with sales agencies using direct sales programs in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand where we sell directly to the hospitals. We began selling direct to Canada in September 2018, Belgium and the Netherlands in January 2019, Italy in March 2020 and Germany, Switzerland and Austria in January 2021. In these markets we work through sales agencies that are paid commissions. In order to further enhance our operations in Europe, we established operating companies in the Netherlands and Germany in March 2019 and April 2022, respectively. In 2023 and 2024, we hired operating and sales representatives in Germany as salaried employees to better serve our customers and opened warehouses in Germany and Australia in 2024. These arrangements have generated an increase in revenue and gross margin. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, international sales accounted for approximately 21%, 25% and 24% of our revenue, respectively.

From time to time we acquire, make investments in or license other technologies, products and business that may enhance our capabilities, complement our current products or expand the breadth of our markets or customer base. As a result of these transactions, we may record certain intangible assets, including goodwill and trademarks, which are subject to annual impairment testing. Fair value is based on our current assessment of the expected future cash flows based on recent results and other specific market factors. During 2024, 2023, and 2022, we determined that a triggering event had occurred indicating it was more likely than not the fair value of the ApiFix trademark was less than the associated carrying value. Subsequently, the company completed a quantitative analysis and concluded that the fair value was in fact less than the carrying value and impairment losses of $1.8 million, $1.0 million, and $3.6 million were recorded in 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. We believe that the expected future cash flows in the most recent calculations represent management’s best estimate; however, if actual results differ materially from these estimates, we could record an additional impairment charge which could be material to our consolidated financial statements and have an adverse impact on our results of operations.

Previous wording

Our cost of revenue consists primarily of products purchased from third-party suppliers, inbound freight, excess and obsolete inventory adjustments, royalties, material, labor and overhead related to the manufacturing of our braces. Our implants and instruments are manufactured to our specifications by third-party suppliers. We purchase the raw materials to make our specialized bracing products in our own facilities in Iowa and Boston. The majority of our implants and instruments are produced in the United States. We recognize cost of revenue for consigned implants at the time the implant is used in surgery and the related revenue is recognized. Prior to their use in surgery, the cost of consigned implants is recorded as inventory in our balance sheet. The costs of instruments are typically capitalized and not included in cost of revenue unless sold as a set to our international stocking distributors or directly to hospitals. We recognize the cost of revenue on our braces sold to other O&P clinics not owned by us when they are shipped and the cost of our O&P clinic services when the customized brace has been fitted and accepted by the patient. We expect our cost of revenue to increase in absolute dollars due primarily to increased sales volume and changes in the geographic mix of our sales as our international operations tend to have a higher cost of revenue as a percentage of sales.

In the United States and infourteen international markets, we primarily sell our implants, and to a much lesser extent our instruments, through third-party independent sales agencies to medical facilities and hospitals. For such sales, revenue and associated cost of revenue is recognized when a product is used in a procedure. In a few cases, hospitals purchase our products for their own inventory, and such revenue and associated cost of revenue is recognized when a product is shipped or delivered and the title and risk of loss passes to the customer. Sales of our bracing products are sold to stocking distributors, hospitals, orthotist and other medical professionals or directly to end customers. Revenue is recognized for braces generally when title passes upon shipment. Our O&P clinics recognize revenue when our custom manufactured braces or other products are fitted to and accepted by patients. Revenue from these O&P clinic is primarily derived from contracts with third party payors. At, or subsequent to delivery, an invoice is issued to the third-party payor, which primarily consists of commercial insurance companies, Medicare, Medicaid, and private or patient pay individuals. Revenue is recognized for the amounts expected to be received from payors based on contractual reimbursement rates, which are net of estimated contractual discounts and other implicit price concessions. These revenue amounts are further revised as claims are adjudicated, which may result in additional disallowances, which are considered as part of the transaction price and recorded as a reduction of revenues.

Outside of the United States, we sell our products directly to hospitals through independent sales agencies or to independent stocking distributors. Generally, the distributors are allowed to return products, and some are thinly capitalized. Based on a history of reliable collections, we have concluded that a contract exists and revenue should be recognized when we transfer control of our products to the customer, generally when title passes upon shipment. Additionally, based on our history of immaterial returns from international customers, we have historically estimated no reserve for returns.

Our goodwill represents the excess of the cost over the fair value of net assets acquired. The determination of the value of goodwill and intangible assets arising from acquisitions requires extensive use of accounting estimates and judgments to allocate the purchase price to the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized and is assessed for impairment using fair value measurement techniques on an annual basis or more frequently if facts and circumstances warrant such a review. The goodwill is considered to be impaired if we determine that the carrying value of either of our reporting units exceeds its respective fair value.

Current wording

Our goodwill represents the excess of the cost over the fair value of net assets acquired. The determination of the value of goodwill and intangible assets arising from acquisitions requires extensive use of accounting estimates and judgments to allocate the purchase price to the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized and is assessed for impairment using fair value measurement techniques on an annual basis or more frequently if facts and circumstances warrant such a review. The goodwill is considered to be impaired if we determine that the carrying value of either of our reporting units exceeds its respective fair value. In 2025, we performed a quantitative analysis of our two reporting units. Fair value was determined using a combination of the income approach (discounted cash flows) and the market approach, which are weighted based on the relevance and availability of observable inputs for each of the reporting units. The income approach uses a reporting unit's projection of estimated operating results and cash flows that is discounted using a weighted-average cost of capital that reflects current market conditions appropriate to the Company's reporting unit. The discounted cash flow model uses projections based on management's best estimates of economic and market conditions over the projected period using the best information available, including growth rates in revenues, costs and estimates of future expected changes in operating margins and cash expenditures. Other significant estimates and assumptions include terminal value growth rates, weighted average cost of capital and changes in future working capital requirements.

We have indefinite lived trademark assets that are reviewed for impairment by performing a quantitative analysis, which occurs annually in the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to future net discounted cash flows expected to be generated by the associated asset. Calculating net discounted cash flows requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions related to forecasts of future revenues and discount rates. Changes in these assumptions could have a significant impact on the fair value of trademarks. If such assets are determined to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the assets. The calculation of the fair value of the trademark assets involves Level 3 fair value measurements. To estimate the fair value of the trademark asset and associated impairment, we utilized an income approach, or discounted cash flow model. This approach requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions including preparation of forecasted revenue, selection of a royalty rate and discount rate and estimate of the terminal year revenue growth rate.

During 2024, 2023 and 2022, management determined that a triggering event occurred, indicating that it was more likely than not the fair value of the ApiFix trademark asset was less than the carrying value. As such, the company completed a quantitative analysis whereby we determined the fair value of the ApiFix trademark asset was below the carrying value. The primary reason for the impairment is the lower forecasted revenue of our ApiFix product than previously expected. We recorded impairment charges of $1.8 million, $1.0 million, and $3.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively, to reduce the carrying amount of the intangible asset to its estimated fair value. Following the impairment, the newly calculated fair value becomes the new accounting basis and carrying value of the trademark.
