Q&A:

  • Question from Frank Takkinen (Lake Street Capital Markets): When should we expect the pump business to reach the ~$50M pump revenue run rate — late 2026 or 2027?
    Response: Management: Sales launch in mid‑January; bookings to build in Q2 2026 with revenue ramping in H2 2026 and clear, material contribution by Q4 2026.

  • Question from Frank Takkinen (Lake Street Capital Markets): You maintained a 78% gross margin despite the manufacturing transition—does that imply potential to reach ~80% or was this mix-driven?
    Response: Management: Transition execution minimized negative impact; the ~1% margin improvement was largely due to stronger domestic mix; margins may fluctuate with domestic vs international mix.

  • Question from Kyle Bauser (ROTH Capital Partners): Is pricing stable on the legacy 3860 given strong demand — any discounting planned as you roll out 3870?
    Response: Management: No discounts; 3860 orders are selling at existing ASPs with pricing stable.

  • Question from Kyle Bauser (ROTH Capital Partners): How are you managing inventory for the 3870 ahead of launch and what are current build plans?
    Response: Management (CFO): Buying for 3870 has begun; inventory builds in Q4 and into Q1 are planned and working capital is sufficient to support the builds.

  • Question from Kyle Bauser (ROTH Capital Partners): What is the plan and timing to enter international markets with the 3870 (CE/other approvals)?
    Response: Management: International rollout is regulatory-driven; targeting MDR/CE registration and Japan clearance with conversion to 3870 expected in 2027 (MDR work progressing through late 2026).

  • Question from Kyle Bauser (ROTH Capital Partners): The new facility is ~2.5x larger—what sales/capacity can it support?
    Response: Management: Facility is 2.5x larger, unconstrained by land, and can support up to ~$50M per quarter in sales with easy expansion into adjacent owned land.

What is the expected pace of the ramp to $50 million in pump revenue? - Frank James Takkinen

2025Q2: Q1 bookings will be weak, but Q2 should see a strong booking and sales ramp-up, leading to over $100 million run rate by the end of 2026. - Roger Susi(CEO)

Contradiction Point 2

Gross Margin Sustainability

2025Q3: The 1% increase in gross margin was due to domestic revenue, not the transition. - Roger Susi(CEO)

Could the new pump's ASP increase gross margins? - Jason Hart Wittes

What drove the strong growth in disposable revenue in Q1? - Frank Takkinen (Lake Street Capital Markets)

2025Q1: The growth in disposable revenue was driven by working down some of the backlog and striving to decrease lead times to meet customer demand.
