Previous report
Demand for our cardiac preservation services has traditionally been seasonal, with peak demand generally occurring in the third quarter. We believe this trend for cardiac preservation services is primarily due to the high number of surgeries scheduled during the summer months for school-aged patients. Based on experience in recent years, we believe that this trend is lessening as we are distributing a higher percentage of our tissues for use in adult populations.

Sales of certain products through our direct sales force and distributors across Europe and various other countries are denominated in a variety of currencies including Euros, Brazilian Reals, Polish Zlotys, British Pounds, Canadian Dollars, and Swiss Francs with a concentration denominated in Euros. Each currency is subject to exchange rate fluctuations. For thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the US Dollar weakened in comparison to major currencies, resulting in revenue increases when these foreign currency denominated transactions were translated into US Dollars. Future changes in these exchange rates could have a material, adverse effect on our revenues denominated in these currencies. Additionally, our sales to many distributors around the world are denominated in US Dollars, and although these sales are not directly impacted by currency exchange rates, we believe that some of our distributors may delay or reduce purchases of products in US Dollars depending on the relative price of these goods in their local currencies.

Constant currency revenues from the sales of aortic stent grafts increased 31% and 24% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. Revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 increased in all geographies, with the most significant increases in North America and Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (collectively, “EMEA”). The revenue increase in EMEA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily due to an increase in volume of higher priced products within the aortic stent graft product line in direct (to hospitals) markets. The revenue increase in North America for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily due to sales of AMDS as a result of humanitarian device exemption (“HDE”) granted by the FDA in December 2024 for use of the AMDS™ Hybrid Prosthesis in acute DeBakey Type I dissections in the presence of malperfusion. The HDE allows for, subject to certain restrictions, commercial distribution of AMDS in the United States (“US”) prior to the approval of a Premarket Approval Application, which we currently anticipate receiving in 2026 allowing for full commercial distribution of AMDS in the US.

On July 4, 2025 the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions.

The increase in gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was primarily due to an increase in the volume of all products shipped as well as the increase in the average sales price of certain products and tissues shipped and favorable mix of certain products shipped for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was partially offset by unfavorable cost of certain products and tissues shipped as well as an unfavorable mix of tissues shipped, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Gross margin as a percentage of total revenues increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
