Operator, and welcome every quarter of the 2026 Earnings Conference call. I'm 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 first quarter revenue results and provide an update on key developments in recent months. They will then provide you with an in-depth review of our first quarter financial results, our balance sheet and financial condition at quarter end, as well as our financial outlook for 2026, which we updated in our press release this afternoon. Then I will provide you with some closing comments before we open the call up for questions. Beginning with a review of our revenue results for Q1, Our revenue results reflect the significant challenges in the operating environment outlined on our fourth quarter call in February. That revenue declined 58% year over year, driven by a 63% decline in sales of our advanced wound care products. Sales of our surgical and sports medicine products were flat year over year. And as expected, the withdrawal of the LCD coverage policies for skin substitutes announced on December 24th and comments regarding discarded product on December 30th resulted in clinicians confusion in material disruption in the market during the first quarter our team performed well during this period of unprecedented disruption in the skin substitute market as a leader in the industry we expect to gain share in this new environment as we leverage the largest most comprehensive portfolio across multiple FDA classification despite the significant decline in our product revenue in the first quarter, we believe we enhanced our market share position as our unit volume outperformed the declines that have been reported across the industry. This is encouraging in isolation but it's even more impressive when viewed in light of the significant impact on utilization of our PMA approved product over the first four months of 2026 as a result of CMS's commentary on December 30th. As discussed on our fourth quarter call we believe the comments on December 30th regarding product wastage were intended to proactively address activity from certain competitors in the market that were attempting to exploit the new payment policies by focusing on larger size skin substitute products specifically amniotic products the initial market response to these comments was significant clinician confusion and uncertainty unfortunately these market headwinds have not abated Rather, in some cases, it has resulted in clinicians moving away from skin substitutes entirely. While CMS's December 30th commentary represents what we believe to be a material but transient impact on 2026 revenue trends, the harm to patients is both more severe and enduring. The impact on utilization of our clinically superior, PMA-approved skin substitutes doesn't just delay healing. It exposes our most vulnerable patients to preventable complications, infections, amputations, and potentially fatal outcomes. This market disruption requires urgent correction. We believe the significant clinician confusion impacting utilization of our PMA approved products as a result of the agency's comment on December 30th will be less of a headwind as we progress

through 2026. We continue to believe CMS's efforts to overhaul coverage and payment for our market

represents meaningful steps towards reform. We believe that CMS should clarify the comments on discarded products to stem the unintended impact on patient access in clinically validated skin substitute products, particularly PMA products like Apple Brown. While we will continue to engage with CMS on this issue our level of uncertainty as the timing of the resolution has unfortunately increased since the fourth quarter earnings call in February. Accordingly we have updated our expectations for total revenue in

2026 in this afternoon's press release. Our 2026 total revenue guidance now reflects the expectation that we see more measured improvement and clinician

confusion and the overall operating environment as we move through the year. While we continue to expect improvement in our revenue results on a sequential basis over the balance of the year, our overall revenue outlook reflects a more measured recovery this year. The prolonged recovery is now expected to

impact our financial results over the first nine months of 2026 with a return

to more normalized profitability now expected in the fourth quarter. Given the impact on our revenue expectations as a result of prolonged recovery, we completed a restructuring in March. The restructuring included a workforce reduction of 88 employees and the closing of operations in our St. Petersburg, Florida facility and is expected to result in cost reductions is of approximately $14 million on an annualized basis.

While our 2026 is off to a difficult start,

I want to make it clear that I am very optimistic about our future. We continue to expect to drive significant market share gains in the second half of 2026, and we remain confident in long-term opportunity for our energenesis. Our overall position is very strong, and it is from this strong position that we are making capital investments that will support our company's future growth

and continued leadership.

Before I turn the call over to David, I wanted to provide updates on some key regulatory and clinical developments in recent months, beginning with an update of our Renew program. On April 28th, we announced the completion of our BLA submission to the FDA. This represents a significant milestone in our effort to bring a new regenerative therapy intended to treat a large and growing unmet need in symptomatic knee osteoarthritis, a serious condition affecting more than 30 million Americans. We believe Renew has the potential to meaningfully change the treatment paradigm by offering a non-surgical biologic option designed to address pain and improve functionality, particularly for patients with severe disease who lack an approved non-surgical option. We initiated a rolling BLA submission in December of 2025 with non-clinical modules and have now completed the application with the submission of the clinical and chemistry manufacturing and control logical. We are confident in the progress of our regulatory engagement, and we look forward to continuing our productive discussions with the FDA during the review process. We believe gathering robust and comprehensive clinical and real-world evidence is an essential component of developing a competitive product portfolio and driving further penetrations in the markets where we compete. Science and evidence have always been core to our foundation and as coverage policies evolve, evidence will be the currency of credibility and we intend to remain a leader in these markets. On April 6th, we announced the completion of a randomized control trial evaluated the safety and efficacy of pure-plied AM plus standard of care versus standard of care alone in the management of non-healing diabetic foot ulcers. This was a prospective multi-center randomized control trial of 170 patients. The trial achieved its primary endpoint, demonstrating statistically significant wound closure at 12 weeks compared to standard of

care alone with the p-value of less than 0.0477 this strong performance is an

important study which underscores the clinical efficacy of pure apply AM and the management of non-healing DF use these wounds pose a significant burden to patients that are extremely costly to our health care system we believe publication of these impactful results will strongly support pure apply AM's inclusion in future coverage policies underscoring its critical role in the wound healing algorithm further demonstrating the clinical effectiveness of our purify antimicrobial technology and advancing renew represents further validation of our long-term strategy to invest in expanding the body of clinical evidence supporting our technology in developing regenerative medicine solutions that address significant unmet medical needs as we expand our mission to include transformative new markets for organogenesis. With more than 40 years of regenerative medicine and a diverse evidence-based portfolio with technologies in each FDA category, we believe we are best positioned in the skin substitute market and will continue to be a leader in the space with highly innovative, highly efficacious products that deliver on our mission of advancing healing and recovery beyond our customers' expectations. With that, let me turn the call over to David.

I'll begin with a review of our first quarter financial results, unless otherwise specified all growth rates referenced during my prepared remarks or on a year-over-year basis. Net product revenue for the first quarter was $36.3 million, down 58% year-over-year. As Gary mentioned, these results came in below the expectations we provided on our Q4 call, which called for total revenue decline of approximately 50% year-over-year. Our advanced wound care net product revenue for the first quarter was $29.5 million, down 63%. Net product revenue from surgical and sports medicine products for the first quarter was $6.8 million, flat year-over-year. Our total revenue results for the first quarter include $1 million of income related to the grant issued from the Rhode Island Life Sciences Hub, offsetting the employee-related costs in our Smithfield facility. This compares to no impact, and the gross profit for the first quarter was $10.5 million, or 29% of net product revenue, compared to 73% last year. First quarter cost of goods included $4.3 million of inventory for excess and obsolete inventory, resulting from a facility closure and LTV regulatory changes of $1 million and $3.3 million, respectively. Excluding inventory write-down adjustments, non-gap gross profit, operating expenses for the first quarter were $106.1 million. compared to $113.4 million last year, a decrease of $7.3 million, or 6%. Excluding cost of goods sold of $25.8 million for the first quarter and $23.7 million last year, our non-GAAP operating expenses were $80.3 million, compared to $89.7 million last year, a decrease of 9.4%. The year-over-year change in operating expenses excluding cost of goods sold was driven by a 10% decrease in SG&A expenses. Gap net loss for the first quarter was $53.2 million compared to an increase in net loss. Net loss to common stockholders was $2 million compared to a first stock. Adjusted net loss for the first quarter was $4 million. Adjusted net write-down of assets, health, as well as other and non-recurring. We've included a detailed reconciliation of gap to non-gap. Adjusted EBITDA loss for the first quarter was $48.2 million compared to adjusted EBITDA loss. Turning to the balance sheet as of December 31st. We believe we are well-capitalized with our $5 million and net cash flows. Turning to our 2026 house, as a result, we now expect representing a decline in the range compared to our prior guidance range of 25% to 38% year-over-year. Note the change in our total revenue expectations is a result of a revised assumption. Our updated total revenue guidance continues to reflect the expectations we see in the first half revenue. We continue to expect strong sequential results resulting in a second half revenue. With respect to our profitability expectations, our updated guidance continues to assume, given the lower revenue rate, we have adjusted our assumptions for operating expenses, excluding cost of goods sold, to reduce the impact on our profitability. Specifically, we now expect to reduce our operating expenses, excluding cost of goods sold, including more than 30% year-over. Note these updated assumptions are inclusive of estimates. With that, I'll turn to call.

Thanks, Dave. In closing, the first quarter was a challenging start to the year. I want to thank our team for their performance and resilience during a period of unprecedented market disruption, but despite the headwinds, we believe we've enhanced our market share position, met a significant milestone by completing our and generated strong clinical evidence supporting PurePly AM, further validating our long term. We expect the operating environment will remain difficult through the first nine months of 2026 with sequential revenue improvement over the balance of the year and a return to more normalized profitability in the fourth quarter. We remain confident in our position as a leader in regenerative medicine with a diverse and evidence-based portfolio and more than 40 years of innovation in service of our mission to advance healing and recovery for the patients who depend on us most. With that, I'll turn the call over to the operator to open the call up for questions.

Thank you, sir. If you'd like to ask a question, please signal by pressing star 1-1 on your telephone keypad. If you're using a speakerphone, please make sure your mute function is turned off to allow your signal to reach our equipment.

Please stand by while we compile the Q&A roster. Our first question comes from Ryan Zimmerman with BTIG.

Please go ahead.

Hi, Gary, Dave. This is Izzy on for Ryan. Thank you for taking the questions. I was hoping to start with spending some time on the first quarter performance. Could you unpack a little bit what you guys saw throughout the quarter and particularly what changed between the fourth quarter call in February and today in terms of volumes? I mean, what was better or worse than expected?

Sure, I'll start. Well, we've certainly seen a lot of disruption as we expected. You normally would see with a change in reimbursement. But the level of complexity of that change was more than we've seen in the past. So you've had two sites of care with complete changes in the reimbursement model in addition to changing the actual reimbursement for each product. We also had the issue in the first quarter around Wiser. So Wiser really did have an impact in the first quarter. We didn't expect some of the challenges that they've had technology-wise in the states in which pre-authorization is required. There was also an issue with a large MAC that was struggling to process claims the entire first quarter. In fact, it just recently started to process claims in March, and unfortunately, customers have to rebuild for claims in January and February. So all of that disruption on top of what you normally see when there's a reimbursement change. So we've typically guided to a three-month impact of a reimbursement change, but with the additional complexity that we're seeing now and the issue of wastage, which came out in December 30th, has created enormous confusion in the market, which is why this prolonged delay in market recovery. so what we've seen is a contraction of the market by about 63% that's an enormous contraction in the market we're certainly down less than that we believe we've taken share and four brands excluding our Apple graph brand are down about 22% so you know we're definitely seeing some share to gain from our perspective but the just contraction in the market the issues around wastage and the technology challenges with the Mac and Wiser are things that we didn't see when we had our call in February.

David, anything to add? No, no, that's absolutely right.

I appreciate that. What, if anything, or do you have any line of sight as to when we might get an update from CMS clarifying some of their comments around these wastage policies?

We don't have any direct clarity on when they would do that. We're still engaged with them. You know, our objective is to either get them to, you know, exempt PMAs because of all of the confusion around the handling and the billing and usage of a biologic, like our product Applegraph, or to come out with, you know, an indication for use. There's been no instructions or clarity on exactly what, you know, what their wastage policy is. So, you know, we don't have clarity on when they will change or when they'll bring clarity, but we're certainly bringing clarity to our customers and we're seeing more and more comfort in utilizing the product AppleGraph appropriately for patients that need it.

Got it. And then last one for me kind of dovetails into guidance for the year. I was just curious, what gives you confidence in that back half recovery? I understand that the updated range accounts for more moderation through the remainder of the year, but have you seen anything through April and May that gives you more confidence? Thanks for taking the questions.

Yeah, we did see improvement month over month in the first quarter, and that's continued into April. So that's one part of it. And what we've always expected here, as Gary mentioned, we're going to continue to gain share. But there's two things. One is the customer confusion should abate as we move through the year. And then in addition to that, we think the competition dynamics will be quite a bit different at that point as well. So that's how we built up our forecast with sequential growth quarter for quarter as we move through the year.

Thank you. We are currently showing no remaining questions at the queue at this time. This does conclude our conference for today.

Thank you for your participation.
