Business Commentary:

* Revenue Growth and Product Expansion: - Tenon Medical reported record revenue of $1.2 million for Q3, up 32% year-on-year. - The growth was driven by unprecedented Catamaran procedure volumes and the integration of the SiVantage portfolio, indicating the success of the company's strategic growth initiatives and acquisition strategy.

  • Clinical Milestones and Product Launches:
  • The company achieved several clinical milestones, including the full commercial launch of the Catamaran SE SI joint fusion system, which expands its implant portfolio and strengthens its competitive position.
  • The successful transition from alpha testing to full launch reflects Tenon's commitment to innovation and execution speed.

  • Operational Integration and Financial Performance:

  • Tenon's gross profit was $0.8 million or 66% of revenue in Q3, improving from 47% in the prior year quarter.
  • This improvement was due to higher revenue absorbing fixed overhead costs in the cost of goods sold as a result of the strategic acquisition and integration of SiVantage's assets.

  • Regulatory Approvals and Product Diversification:

  • Tenon received FDA 510(k) clearance for its SImmetry+ SI joint fusion system, expanding its product portfolio and offering two distinct minimally invasive surgical approaches.
  • This clearance strengthens Tenon's competitive position and allows physicians to tailor treatments to individual patient anatomy and pathology, supporting long-term growth.

    Sentiment Analysis:

    Overall Tone: Positive

    • Management highlighted "record revenue of $1.2 million, a 32% increase" and said the SiVantage acquisition "has been immediately accretive to revenue." CFO noted gross margin improved to 66% vs 47% prior-year and expects margins to continue improving as revenue scales. Management emphasized successful product launches, clinical publications showing strong outcomes, and a $2.85M PIPE to fund growth.

Q&A:

  • Question from Scott Henry (Alliance Global Partners, Research Division): Could you comment on of the product revenues, how much was the kind of base SiVantage revenues of the $1.2 million?
    Response: About $1.1M of the $1.2M was Catamaran revenue; the remainder was a small, two-month contribution from legacy SiVantage products.

  • Question from Scott Henry (Alliance Global Partners, Research Division): Would you expect Catamaran to grow sequentially from third quarter '25 to fourth quarter '25?
    Response: Yes — management expects Catamaran procedures to continue growing sequentially into Q4, plus an extra month of SiVantage activity and initial SImmetry+ alpha contribution.

  • Question from Scott Henry (Alliance Global Partners, Research Division): When we think about the SImmetry+ alpha launch, should I think of that as a pilot launch at first or a full-scale launch?
    Response: SImmetry+ will begin as a small, focused alpha pilot (roughly 60–90 days) to gather feedback and make refinements before broader commercial expansion.

  • Question from Scott Henry (Alliance Global Partners, Research Division): Is third-quarter G&A reflective of what we'll start to see on a quarterly basis, should we think about $2.1M–$2.2M per quarter?
    Response: Q3 included some one-time integration costs; going forward G&A is expected to be slightly below Q3 but materially higher than historical quarters—closer to the Q3 level than prior periods.

  • Question from Thomas McGovern (Maxim Group): How is the SiVantage integration progressing? Is it fully done and what milestones remain as you move into Q4?
    Response: Integration is largely complete operationally—assets, inventory and quality-system integration done—with remaining tactical items; on-time SImmetry+ alpha launch is cited as evidence of successful integration.

  • Question from Thomas McGovern (Maxim Group): Can you quantify the scope of commercial headcount additions and explain whether salespeople will be specialized or cross-trained across products?
    Response: Tenon is implementing a hybrid commercial model—onboarding distributors and 1099s managed by direct sales leadership; new hires from SiVantage strengthen the team and field reps will be trained across the full product portfolio.

  • Question from Thomas McGovern (Maxim Group): How are you balancing clinical data generation/payer coverage efforts with commercial ramp and headcount additions?
    Response: Payer-coverage work (data-driven) and commercial ramp are being run in parallel by separate, dedicated teams, with both treated as equally important priorities.
