Bull points
- Our updated total revenue guidance continues to reflect the expectations we see sequential improvement in our revenue trends in the second quarter, however, at a more measured rate versus what our prior guidance assumed, resulting in first-half revenue decline in the range of approximately 52% to 49% year-over-year. We continue to expect strong sequential revenue growth in both third and fourth quarters of 2026.
- we believe we enhanced our market share position as our unit volume outperformed the declines that have been reported across the industry.
- 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.
