Thank you, operator, and welcome everyone to Organogenesis Holdings Second Quarter 2025 earnings conference call. I am joined on the call today by Dave Francisco, our Chief Financial Officer. Let me start with a brief agenda of what we'll cover during our prepared remarks. I'll begin with an overview of our second quarter revenue results and provide an update on key operating and strategic developments in recent months. And then Dave will provide you with an in-depth review of our second quarter financial results, our balance sheet and financial condition at quarter end, as well as our financial guidance for 2025, which we updated in our press release this afternoon. Then we will open up the calls for questions. Beginning with the review of our revenue results in Q2, we delivered sales results within the guidance range outlined on our first quarter call, driven by better than expected growth in our surgical and sports medicine products and sales of advanced wound care products that came in at the lower end of our expectations. Our second quarter advanced wound care results reflect the expected disruption in customer demand and ordering patterns related to the delay and the effective date of the final LCD for skin substitute grafts and cellular tissue-based products for the treatment of DFUs and VLUs until January 1st, 2026. Our team's second quarter execution and focus on engagement, education and support helped our customers navigate a confusing and challenging environment. While the delay and the effective date for the final LCD fueled even more aggressive pricing strategies from our competitors, our team remains committed to building upon our deep customer relations and promoting access to existing and recently launched products. Last month, CMS announced the proposed Medicare physician fee schedule and outpatient perspective payment systems for calendar year 2026. This is a watershed moment for this industry and the most impactful development in more than a decade. We applaud the proposed new payment approach for skin substitutes as we have long advocated for an integrated coverage and payment policy to address rapid escalation of Medicare spending while ensuring patients have access to the products best suited to their care. Organogenesis has more than 40 years of experience and pioneered the use of cellular and tissue-based products for wound treatment and we have spent the past several years leading key stakeholders who share our patient-focused values to inform policymakers and advocate for reform that will increase access, improve outcomes, and curb the rampant waste and abuse in the space. We have long supported many of the points included in the proposed rules, notably a per square centimeter payment methodology based on FDA classification for skin substitutes covering all ASP sites of care as well as the hospital outpatient setting, bringing a much needed consistent payment approach. Exploitation of the current ASP-based payment system has resulted in excessive and unsustainable spending these past few years. Closing this loophole and shifting away from the ASP model will bring stability to the market and push spending on dehydrated placentals in line with appropriate utilization. And we are pleased that the proposed FDA classification categories ensures patients will have access to appropriate therapies and encourage innovation in the space. As the population ages and more people face the prospect of chronic wounds associated with diabetes and other comorbid conditions, it's imperative that the industry reignite its innovation engine to deliver advanced regenerative technologies that will speed healing and reduce the total cost of care. We believe the proposed rule, if finalized, will support these goals while bringing long-term stabilization to the skin substitute markets. Importantly, we are pleased that CMS has recognized the clinical differentiation of pre-market approval or PMA products that outline steps to expand access to these healing technologies. PMA products such as Aplegraph and Dermagraph have been proven to reduce life-threatening amputations and costly complications associated with DFUs and VLUs. The proposed rules will encourage the continued development of PMA products that will greatly benefit both clinicians and patients. As the public comment period opens, we remain committed to engage with CMS and other stakeholders to refine and enhance the proposed rules that will expand access to appropriate therapies for patients while reducing the overall cost to Medicare. With the payment and coverage changes expected to be implemented in 2026, we believe we are better positioned to continue to lead the space with highly innovative, highly efficacious products that deliver on our mission of advancing healing and recovery beyond our customers' expectations. Before turning the call over to David, I want to provide updates on key strategic focuses for our companies. We believe gathering robust and comprehensive clinical and real-world evidence is an essential component of developing a competitive product portfolio and driving further penetration in the markets where we compete. We expect to submit published clinical data supporting PureApply AM for DFU and Affinity for VLU to the max by the established deadline of November 1st, 2025. We have been preparing our organization to succeed in a new world that is coming to fruition by investing to optimize our industry-leading portfolio of healing technologies. In May, we mark the expansion of our bio-manufacturing capabilities at our new facility in Smithfield, Rhode Island, welcoming the governor and other state and civic leaders to share our plans for the site. When completed, the Smithfield facility will support the reintroduction of Dermagraph, a PMA-approved product for the treatment of DFUs, and Transite, a PMA-approved bioengineered cellular tissue scaffold for the treatment of deep second and third degree burns, as well as the introduction of FortiShield, a biosynthetic transitional wound matrix for the treatment of second degree burns and surgical wounds. We believe the added manufacturing capacity and portfolio expansion will further enhance our long-term growth and margin profile, create additional stakeholder value and positively impact more people's lives. With

to our renew program, we remain on plan for submission for renew by the end of this year, which, if approved, will further enrich our already robust regenerative portfolio. All patients completed the second phase three study, and we remain on track to share publicly the top-line data results from the study in September of 2025. Our timeline continues to target completion of the final clinical study report required for the BLA submission in the fourth quarter, which has us on track for a modular BLA submission by the end of 2025. We continue to believe in the potential of renew to address the need for more than 30 million Americans suffering from symptomatic knee osteoarthritis. This is a defining moment for the industry and an exciting opportunity for organogenesis to serve more patients. We see our vision for skin substitutes in wound care becoming a reality following years of advocating for health policy reform to ensure patient access to the most appropriate products while achieving significant cost savings to Medicare. We believe we are positioned to win going forward with our comprehensive portfolio, including products from all FDA classifications. We have a development engine fueling new innovation and the capacity to launch and reintroduce products in a transformational opportunity with renew. With that, let me turn the call over to Dave.

Dave Francisco
Chief Financial Officer

Thanks, Gary. I'll begin with a review of

speaker
Dave Francisco
Chief Financial Officer

our second quarter financial results. Unless otherwise specified, all growth rates referenced during my prepared remarks are on a -over-year basis. Net product revenue for the second quarter was 100.8 million, down 23%. As Gary mentioned, these results came in within the range of the expectations we provided on our Q1 call, which called for total revenue in the range of 100 million to 110 million. Our advanced wound care net product revenue for the second quarter was 92.7 million, down 25%. As Gary mentioned, the commercial team executed well in the period, driving increased momentum towards the end of Q2, despite the delay of the effective date of the LCD, which increased the aggressive competitive pricing tactics in the period. Net product revenue from surgical and sports medicine products for the second quarter was 8.1 million, up 16%. Our total revenue results for the second quarter included 0.2 million of grant income related to the grant issued from the Rhode Island Life Sciences Hub, offsetting our employee-related costs in our Smithfield facility. This compares to no impact in the prior year period, and we expect grant income to be immaterial in 2025. Gross profit for the second quarter was 73.1 million, or 73% of net product revenue, compared to 78% last year. Gross profit was unfavorably impacted in the period, due primarily to lower revenue over a fixed cost, as well as the expiration of excess product, resulting from the delayed implementation of the LCD and related uncertainty. Operating expenses for the second quarter were 113.6 million, compared to 144.1 million last year, a decrease of 30.5 million, or 21%. Excluding cost of goods sold of 27.6 million for the second quarter and 29.2 million last year, our non-GAAP operating expenses for the second quarter were 86 million, compared to 114.9 million last year, a decrease of 29 million, or 25%. The -over-year change in operating expenses, excluding cost of goods sold, was driven by a $22.8 million write-down of certain non-recurring costs in the second quarter of 2024, compared to a 1.7 million in the second quarter of 2025, as well as lower research and development and SG&A expenses, which declined 33% and 4% -over-year, respectively. Operating loss for the second quarter was 12.6 million, compared to an operating loss of 13.9 million last year, a decrease of 1.3 million. Excluding non-cash amortization and the write-down of certain non-recurring costs in both periods, our non-GAAP operating loss was 10 million, compared to 9.7 million of income last year. GAAP net loss for the second quarter was 9.4 million, compared to a net loss of 17 million last year, a decrease of 7.6 million. Net loss to common for the second quarter was 12.2 million, compared to a net loss of 17 million last year. Net loss to common includes the impact of both the cumulative dividend and the non-cash accretion to redemption value on our convertible preferred stock. Adjusted EBITDA loss for the second quarter was 3.6 million, compared to adjusted EBITDA income of 15.6 million last year. Turning to the balance sheet, as of June 30th, 2025, the company had 73.7 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, with no outstanding debt obligations. That compared to 136.2 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, with no outstanding debt obligations as of December 31st, 2024. Now turning to a review of our 2025 revenue guidance, which we updated this afternoon's press release. For the 12 months ending December 31st, 2025, the company now expects net revenue of between 480 million and 510 million, representing a -over-year change in the range of flat to an increase of 6%. The 2025 net revenue guidance now assumes net revenue from advanced wound care products between 450 million and 475 million, representing a -over-year change in the range of a decline of 1% to an increase of 5%. Net revenue from surgical and sports medicine products between 30 million and 35 million, representing a -over-year increase in the range of 6% to 23%. The expected increase in our revenue over the second half of 2025 will be driven by our recently launched in-licensed products that are all well positioned in today's market. We have tightened our total revenue guidance range, reflecting the performance in the first half of 2025 and our more refined expectations for the remaining two quarters. With respect to our profitability and EBITDA guidance, the company now expects gap net loss in the range of 6.4 million to net income of 16.4 million, compared to net income of 4.7 million to 34 million previously. EBITDA on the range of 6.2 million to 37 million, compared to 20 million to 59.6 million previously. Non-GAP adjusted net income in a range of 5.5 million to 28.3 million, compared to 15.3 million and 44.6 million previously. Adjusted EBITDA on the range of 31.1 million to 61.9 million, compared to 43.6 million to 83.2 million previously. In addition to our formal financial guidance for 2025, we are providing some considerations for modeling purposes. For modeling purposes, we expect the third quarter revenue in the range of approximately 130 million to 145 million. Our profitability guidance for 2025 now assumes gross margins in the range of approximately 74% to 76%, compared to 78% to 79% previously. The updated gross margin range reflects the expected impact related to product mix shift in our in-licensed brands in the second half of 2025. GAP operating expenses excluding cost of goods sold in the range of flat up 1% year over year and excluding non-cash intangible amortization of approximately 3.4 million. The non-recurring FDA payment related to our renewed BLA filing of 4.6 million and the 8.3 million of breakdown of assets in the first half. Our total non-GAP operating expenses will increase 3 to 4% year over year compared to a range of 5 to 7% previously. With that, I'll turn the call over to the operator to

speaker
Ryan Zimmerman
Analyst, BTIG

Thanks for taking our questions. Good afternoon, Gary and Dave. Good afternoon. Maybe we could start with the CMS proposal for 2026. It is a radical change from what we've seen. And I believe the proposal was set at about 125,000 and change per square centimeter, if I'm not mistaken. Maybe Gary, you could talk about kind of how you see ORGO fitting within that structure as it starts the year in 2026. And what are your expectations for the market from let's say today through the back half of 25, and then what changes in 26 with that proposal and how the market may change?

speaker
Dave Francisco
Chief Financial Officer

Sure,

speaker
Ryan Zimmerman
Analyst, BTIG

I'd be happy to.

speaker
Gary S. Ohini
President, Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the Board

So as you know, we've been advocating for this type of payment reform for years, literally years. So it is a transformational event for the industry and a real opportunity for our products and the organogenesis organization. And we agree with the CMS approach of setting tiers and those tiers based on clinical differentiation, relative resource cost. They've kind of broken them out based on FDA classifications where data and evidence really matters. So we feel great about this change. The fact that it's also in HOPD, it's not just in the ASP sites of care, it's now opened up the HOPD market to larger, more complex wounds where we are the leader in that space. That just gives more opportunity for folks to utilize our technologies like Apligraf and soon to be released Dermagraph. So Apligraf is reimbursed today at $30 per square centimeter and the current proposal at 125 would be a significant change. It would eliminate any of the disincentives financially to use the product and put it on a level playing field. But what we really appreciate is CMS establishing these tiers and we expect that we'll be lobbying for different payment rates based on those tiers. So Apligraf and Dermagraf and other PMA products will have the appropriate reimbursement based on the evidence and relative resource costs to produce those products. So this is very exciting for us, very exciting for the industry. As it relates to the market, today, Apligraf represents about 3% of the units sold, believe it or not, a PMA product with arguably the best evidence in the space has about 3% of the market. We see that significantly changing in 2026. 510K products as well. Our pure apply product is priced below the $125 per square centimeter today. So we would see an enhancement in that product and more utilization going forward. And then a level playing field for all the amnions. So there wouldn't be a significant price advantage going forward levels of playing field. So we see a lot of reasons why 26 is gonna be extremely positive for us. The rest of 25, I think, we've seen in Q2, we've seen some aggressive pricing. We think that's going to continue and get worse at the end of the year. I assume there'll be a lot of discounting and inventory sales. Anybody who's got a lot of inventory at higher prices are gonna need to move those products and we expect to see aggressive pricing. But for us, we've seen strong momentum coming out of the second quarter. Dave will talk a little bit about that. That momentum's continuing, both in accounts and in revenue. And we have a couple of new products that we've launched that will compete extremely well in this market as we bridge the 2026.

speaker
Ryan Zimmerman
Analyst, BTIG

Yeah, just to follow up on that, thank you for that answer, Gary. It's appreciated. Your guidance reduction, I think, is around 12 and a half million, if I'm not mistaken. If I did my math right, for the year at the midpoint. Given the results today, Dave, do you think you've sufficiently accounted for this kind of aggressive behavior in the back half of the year with the reduction of the AWC segment for the balance of the year?

speaker
Dave Francisco
Chief Financial Officer

Yeah, we do, Ryan. Thanks for the question. I mean, obviously, as Gary mentioned, we did exit Q2. We came in at the low end, but exited with a fair amount of momentum. And we've recently launched some new products. And in this environment, you have to have the right products in the portfolio to succeed. And so we believe those recently launched products are gonna contribute quite a bit in the back half. As Gary mentioned, there could be some challenging periods, call it in the late period of Q4, but we think we've accounted for that. We've always anticipated that this would be, remember, it was a relatively wide range when we first issued guidance, simply because the market is in such an unusual spot here. So from our perspective, at least we just took down the top end, knowing that we've got two quarters behind us, two quarters ahead. So we just thought we'd narrow that range, but we think the low end we're confident in, given the performance that we saw at the end of the second quarter.

speaker
Ryan Zimmerman
Analyst, BTIG

Okay, last one for me, and I'll hop back into Q. Gary, I don't think I heard, you may not wanna say, the timing of the dermagraph reintroduction, can you be more specific or for competitive purposes are you not then?

speaker
Gary S. Ohini
President, Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the Board

Well, we can give you a sense, we think that by the second half of 27, that we'll have the opportunity to launch dermagraph. Okay,

speaker
Matt Park
Analyst, Counter Fitzgerald

Hey guys, this is Matt Park on for Ross today, thanks for taking the questions. I guess something right then on renew, you guys move closer to the ALA submission, I guess we're trying to get your thoughts on how you think about renews positioning within the broader NEOA treatment landscape and I guess what you guys view as the key differentiators versus existing injectable options.

speaker
Gary S. Ohini
President, Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the Board

I think what's really exciting is the actual data. So, in both studies, we had a significant number of KL4s in the study. So, the second study hasn't been completed yet, but in the first study, those KL4s performs similar to KL3s and KL2s. So, that is unique and it speaks to the strength of the product and potential labeling improvements in the product over anything else. So, we're pretty excited that the data is showing that it's a robust product and will compete extremely well against the other competitors, which is primarily haloronic acid and steroids.

speaker
Matt Park
Analyst, Counter Fitzgerald

Got it, that's helpful. And then maybe just one more from me on the surgical and sports side of the business. We're hoping to get some more color on what driving or on what drove strength in the quarter and how you expect this momentum to continue in the back half of the year.

speaker
Dave Francisco
Chief Financial Officer

Yeah, sure, we didn't adjust the guidance there. I think we did see some very strong performance. I think you're seeing some transition into some of the key products that we've got in the portfolio. And so, we continue to see some nice numbers coming up from there. In addition to that, we've kind of implemented some hybrid rep situations where you're really seeing reps spanning across both wound care and surgical, and that added some value in the quarter as well. So, we held that guidance, but it's between six and 23%. So, nice performance in the first half, up 16% in the quarter and 13% for the half. So, we're excited to see that.
