Current report
The GLP market continues to rapidly evolve from a niche, high priced injectable drug segment to a broad competitive and increasingly accessible metabolic health platform. Recent approvals are expanding indications (beyond diabetes into obesity and cardiovascular risk) are significantly increasing the addressable market, while the emergence of oral versions is lowering barriers to adoption and bringing these therapies into more mainstream, primary care use. At the same time, growing competition and policy pressure are driving prices down, shifting the market from a premium, supply-constrained model to one focused on volume and access. Overall, we believe the landscape is moving toward large-scale, chronic use with wider patient reach, more treatment options, and intensifying competition shaping both innovation and affordability.
Current report
Research and development expenses decreased 4.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2026. There were no significant changes from the prior period in the components of research and development expense.
Current report
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, salaries and related expenses increased 5.6%, primarily due to an increase in salaries and benefits to existing employees ($0.3 million). This was partially offset by a decrease in stock-based compensation expense as we have not granted any options in 2026.

Previous report
On May 13, 2025, we announced that we had received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) for the AYON Body Contouring System™ (“AYON”). We completed our soft launch of AYON, leveraging our relationships with key surgeons in critical geographies. Additionally, we commenced the commercial launch of AYON in September 2025.
Previous report
In November 2024, we undertook a cost saving restructuring which included an organizational reduction in force to better focus, optimize and streamline operations. As a result of the organizational changes, we reduced our workforce by nearly 25%. We estimate the annualized future cost savings from the reduction in force to be approximately $4.3 million which we expect to contribute to our goal of decreasing loss and achieving cash-flow breakeven. In addition, to the reduction in force, we eliminated bonuses in 2024, reduced the board of directors from eight to five members and reduced board cash compensation from $0.5 million annually to $0.1 million. In addition to the organizational changes, we have identified other direct cost savings we anticipate achieving in 2025. The identified cost savings include reductions in professional fees, lower research and development costs as we complete the development of AYON, credit card fees and stock-based compensation. We foresee, in totality, these cost savings will reduce our annual operating expenses below $40 million in 2025.
Previous report
We are actively monitoring trade policy and tariff announcements including the recent executive orders issued by the U.S. federal administration regarding tariffs on imports from various countries, including the European Union, Canada, Mexico and China. In addition, we are monitoring the potential impact of actions taken by these countries in response to the announced tariffs. We currently manufacture in Clearwater, Florida and Sofia, Bulgaria and we intend to utilize these locations to minimize the impact of the tariffs, but such tariffs may make our products less cost competitive and reduce gross margins. At this time, the overall impact on our business related to these or any other tariffs that may be imposed, remains uncertain and depends on multiple factors, including the duration and expansion of current tariffs, future changes to tariff rates, scope or enforcement, retaliatory measures by impacted trade partners, inflationary effects, and the effectiveness of our responses in managing these challenges.
Previous report
Research and development expenses decreased 29.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to lower compensation and benefits costs ($0.2 million) and lower spending on our product development initiatives and clinical studies ($0.1 million), as we complete the development of AYON.
Previous report
Research and development expenses decreased 38.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to lower compensation and benefits costs ($1.0 million) and lower spending on our product development initiatives and clinical studies ($0.5 million), as we complete the development of AYON.
Previous report
Professional services expense decreased 10.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to a decrease in physician and marketing consulting expenses ($0.3 million). This decrease was partially offset by an increase in board of director’s stock-based compensation expense ($0.1 million), which was offset by lower board cash compensation included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Previous report
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, salaries and related expenses decreased 9.0%, primarily due to a decrease in salaries and benefits ($0.6 million), which was due to lower headcount following our reduction in force in the fourth quarter of 2024 and lower stock-based compensation expense ($0.5 million). These decreases were partially offset by the prior year reversal of our annual bonus accrual during the third quarter of 2024 (0.7 million). Annual bonuses for 2025 are discretionary.
Previous report
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, salaries and related expenses decreased 27.5%, primarily due to a decrease in salaries and benefits ($1.9 million), which was due to lower headcount following our reduction in force in the fourth quarter of 2024, lower stock-based compensation expense ($1.4 million) and bonus expense ($0.2 million), as bonuses for 2025 are discretionary.
Previous report
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, selling, general and administrative expense decreased 20.3%, primarily due to lower travel expenses ($0.9 million), meeting and training costs ($0.8 million), regulatory and translation expenses ($0.4 million), insurance expense, including claims on our policies ($0.3 million), board of directors cash compensation ($0.3 million), sales and property taxes ($0.1 million), payment processing fees ($0.1 million), software subscriptions ($0.1 million), foreign currency gains and losses ($0.1 million) and office supplies and shipping costs ($0.1 million). These decreases were partially offset by higher advertising expense, including trade show fees and related costs ($0.3 million) and allowances for credit losses ($0.1 million).
Reworded paragraphs (21)
Previous wording
We operate in two business segments: OEM and Surgical Aesthetics, formerly known as Advanced Energy. The OEM segment is primarily development and manufacturing contracts and product driven. The Surgical Aesthetics segment sells both capital equipment and consumables in the form of a single-use handpiece. Sales of handpiece units are a substantial portion of our business and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we sold approximately 63,000 and 64,000 units, respectively. This is a result of an overall lower number of liposuction procedures and commercial focus on the launch of AYON. In the U.S. Handpiece revenue accounts for more than 50% of our total Surgical Aesthetics revenue.

Previous wording
Glucagon- like peptide -1 receptor agonists ("GLP-1s"), such as Mounjaro®, Wegovy® and Ozempic®, are prescribed for the treatment of diabetes and/or weight loss in combination with exercise to improve glycemic control. GLP-1’s have also been found to mimic the GLP-1 satiety hormone in our bodies. When one eats, GLP-1 is released in the small intestines regulating blood sugar and sending signals to the brain centers that control appetite. Studies have shown patients taking GLP-1’s have experienced a loss of body weight. Currently, three GLP-1’s are cleared by the FDA for weight loss, but we anticipate a number of additional drug candidates will be cleared, as well as oral versions of these medications.

When one eats, GLP-1 is released in the small intestines regulating blood sugar and sending signals to the brain centers that control appetite. Studies have shown patients taking GLP-1’s have experienced a significant loss of body weight.
Previous wording
We believe the increased use of GLP-1s had an initial negative impact on the revenue for plastic and cosmetic surgeons and created uncertainty in the aesthetic space. However, we believe, that the use of these drugs will have a ripple effect which will drive people towards plastic surgery and may provide a tailwind for sales of our Renuvion products. Rapid weight loss caused by these drugs can contribute to loose skin. To address this, the cosmetic surgery market focuses on body contouring. Body contouring is a customizable treatment for patients to target specific fat deposits, engage in the transfer of fat, and treatments to address loose or lax skin. Renuvion is the only FDA approved device for the treatment of this issue post liposuction. Additionally, Renuvion may be used to treat skin laxity without the use of liposuction, potentially increasing the total available market for our products.

Previous wording
The initial 510(k) clearance for AYON covers a wide variety of aesthetic treatments, including Renuvion to address loose and lax skin, ultrasound-assisted liposuction, electrosurgery to support procedures requiring removal of excess tissue and closed loop contouring, among others. October 13, 2025, we announced that we had submitted the 510(k) premarket notification to the FDA for the label expansion of AYON to include power liposuction.
Current wording

Previous wording
The consequences of global supply chain instability and inflationary cost increases, potential and actual tariffs, and their adverse impact to the global economy, continue to evolve. Accordingly, the significance of the future impact to our business and financial statements remains subject to significant uncertainty. We continue to work on initiatives to mitigate the effects of inflation on our business, including finding alternative suppliers that meet our quality standards, streamlining our supplier network to reduce the use of middlemen and redesigning some components to achieve better volume purchase prices. Inflation has not, to date, materially impacted our operations or financial performance. However, as these trends continue for raw materials, freight, and labor costs, our future financial performance could be adversely impacted.

Total revenue increased by 12.1%, or approximately $1.4 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 when compared with the three months ended September 30, 2024. Surgical Aesthetics segment sales increased 19.1%, or approximately $1.8 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 when compared with the three months ended September 30, 2024. The Surgical Aesthetics sales increase was driven by sales of AYON, as we commenced our commercial launch during the quarter and an increased volume of single-use handpieces in both domestic and international markets. These increases were partially offset by decreases in domestic sales of generators, including upgrades to the Apyx One Console, where the purchase of AYON was not part of the sale and upgrades to the Apyx One Console in international markets. Overall, domestic Surgical Aesthetics segment sales increased by over 30% from the prior year period. OEM segment sales decreased 17.6%, or approximately $0.4 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 when compared with the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in OEM sales was due to decreases in sales volume to existing customers, including Symmetry Surgical under our 10-year generator manufacturing and supply agreement.
Current wording
Total revenue increased by 32.4%, or approximately $3.1 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 when compared with the three months ended March 31, 2025. Surgical Aesthetics segment sales increased 36.1%, or approximately $2.8 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 when compared with the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Surgical Aesthetics sales increase was driven by sales of AYON, as we commenced our commercial launch in the third quarter of 2025, increased sales of generators internationally and increased volume of single-use handpieces in both domestic and international markets. These increases were partially offset by decreases in domestic sales of generators, including upgrades to the Apyx One Console, where the purchase of AYON was not part of the sale, as expected, and upgrades to the Apyx One Console in international markets. OEM segment sales increased 13.8%, or approximately $0.2 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 when compared with the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in OEM sales was due to increases in sales volume to existing customers. While OEM segment sales increased for the three month period, with the increased focus on Surgical Aesthetics, we expect that OEM segment revenue will decrease for the year and that this trend will continue over time.
Previous wording
International sales represented approximately 27.5% and 29.2% of total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, as compared with 32.2% and 30.8% of total revenues for the same period in the prior year. Management estimates our products have been sold in more than 60 countries through local dealers, coordinated by our sales and marketing personnel through our facilities in Clearwater, Florida and Sofia, Bulgaria.

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2025, increased 19.3% to $8.3 million, compared to $7.0 million for the same period in the prior year. Gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was 64.4%, compared to 60.5% for the same period in 2024. The increase in gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from the prior year period is primarily attributable to mix between our segments with Surgical Aesthetics comprising a higher percentage of total sales, geographic mix, with domestic sales comprising a higher percentage of total sales and product mix within our OEM segment. These increases were partially offset by changes in product mix within our Surgical Aesthetics segment.
Current wording
Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2026, increased 39.9% to $7.9 million, compared to $5.7 million for the same period in the prior year. Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was 63.5%, compared to 60.1% for the same period in 2025. The increase in gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from the prior year period is primarily attributable to mix between our segments with Surgical Aesthetics comprising a higher percentage of total sales and product mix within our OEM segment. This was partially offset by geographic mix, with international sales comprising a higher percentage of total sales and tariffs that began effecting us in the second half of 2025.
Previous wording
Professional services expense decreased 14.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to a decreases in physician and marketing consulting expenses ($0.4 million), legal expenses ($0.3 million), recruiting expenses ($0.1 million) and accounting and audit fees ($0.1 million). This decrease was partially offset by an increase in board of director’s stock-based compensation expense ($0.1 million), which was offset by lower board cash compensation included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

These decreases were partially offset by an increase in commissions ($0.1 million).
Current wording
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, selling, general and administrative expense increased 3.2%, primarily due to an increase in commissions ($0.2 million), travel expenses ($0.1 million) and miscellaneous other expenses ($0.2 million). These increases were partially offset by a decrease in advertising expense ($0.4 million).
Previous wording
Interest income decreased approximately $0.1 million and $0.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, when compared with the same period in the prior year. These decreases are due to a lower average balance and lower average yield in our investments in money market funds and U.S. Treasury securities included in cash and cash equivalents.

Income tax expense was approximately $78,000 and $60,000 with effective tax rates of (4.2)% and (1.3)% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Income tax expense was approximately $176,000 and $163,000 with effective tax rates of (1.8)% and (0.9)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net cash used in operating activities was approximately $5.5 million, compared with net cash used in operating activities of approximately $15.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in cash used in operations is primarily due to improvements in our accounts receivable and accounts payable positions and the decrease in operating loss, which is a result of the cost cutting measures implemented in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to the same period in the prior year. These decreases were partially offset by cash used to procure inventory as we commenced the commercial rollout of AYON during the period and decreases in non-cash expenses included in our operating losses.
Current wording
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net cash used in operating activities was approximately $0.6 million, compared with net cash used in operating activities of approximately $0.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in cash used in operations is primarily due to the reduction in our operating loss, which was driven by an increase in Surgical Aesthetics sales. This was partially offset by the payment of 2025 bonuses in the first quarter of 2026 and cash used to procure inventory for our expanded product portfolio.

Previous wording
We maintain a reserve for uncollectible accounts receivable. When evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses, we analyze historical bad debt experience, the composition of outstanding receivables by customer class, and the age of outstanding balances, and we make estimates in connection with establishing the allowance for credit losses, including the expected impacts of changes in the operating environment in multiple countries as well as the credit terms being offered to customer, to determine where adjustments to historical experience are warranted. The economic uncertainty in the capital equipment market being experienced in the aesthetic space as a result of the disruption from GLP-1's has resulted in the granting of extended credit terms. Accordingly, we believe that there is additional exposure in our outstanding receivables and have adjusted our accounts receivable allowance for this expectation. Changes in estimates are reflected in the period they are made. If the financial condition of our customers deteriorates, resulting in an inability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

Total revenue decreased by 0.6%, or approximately $0.2 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 when compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Surgical Aesthetics segment sales increased 8.0%, or approximately $2.1 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 when compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The Surgical Aesthetics sales increase was driven by sales of AYON, as we commenced our commercial launch during the third quarter. This increase was partially offset by decreases in domestic and internal sales of generators, including upgrades to the Apyx One Console, where the purchase of AYON was not part of the sale. OEM segment sales decreased 31.4%, or approximately $2.3 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 when compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in OEM sales was due to decreases in sales volume to existing customers, including Symmetry Surgical under our 10-year generator manufacturing and supply agreement.

Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, increased 3.2% to $21.0 million, compared to $20.4 million for the same period in the prior year. Gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was 62.5%, compared to 60.2% for the same period in 2024. The increase in gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from the prior year period is primarily attributable to mix between our segments with Surgical Aesthetics comprising a higher percentage of total sales, geographic mix, with domestic sales comprising a higher percentage of total sales. These increases were partially offset by changes in product mix within our OEM segment.
