- Increased demand for OviTex® and OviTex PRS Reinforced Tissue Matrix products during the second quarter, resulting in year-over-year revenue increase for each product of approximately 12% and 53%, respectively;
- Appointed Jeffrey Blizard as President, effective June 2025, to strengthen commercial leadership and drive consistent performance in sales execution as the Company enters its next phase of growth;
- Announced European commercial launch of OviTex Inguinal for robotic and laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair, marking a continued expansion of the Company’s European footprint; and

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Revenue was $20.2 million in the second quarter of 2025, an increase of 26% compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in unit sales, primarily attributable to the addition of new customers, growing international sales, and the U.S. launch of a new, larger-sized OviTex PRS configuration. This growth was partially offset by a decrease in average selling prices for our hernia products caused by product mix as the share of smaller-sized units increased following the introduction of robotically compatible OviTex IHR and our increased focus on growing market share in high-volume minimally invasive and robotic procedures. In addition, we experienced normalized procedural volumes during the second quarter of 2025, as opposed to the second quarter of 2024, where multiple cybersecurity events substantially reduced surgeries at certain customer facilities.
Gross profit was $14.1 million in the second quarter of 2025, or 69.8% of revenue, compared to $11.1 million, or 68.8% of revenue, in the same period in 2024. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to a lower charge for excess and obsolete inventory as a percentage of revenue.
Operating expenses were $23.2 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $22.6 million in the same period in 2024. The increase was due to higher commission costs on an increased revenue base, higher study and outside development costs, and increased professional fees, which were partially offset due to lower compensation and benefits from a lower headcount resulting from efficiency efforts.
Loss from operations was $9.1 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to a loss from operations of $11.6 million in the same period in 2024.
Net loss was $9.9 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to a net loss of $12.6 million in the same period in 2024.
Cash and cash equivalents on June 30, 2025, totaled $35.0 million.
2025 Financial Guidance Reiterated
- Full year 2025 revenue is projected to range from $85.0 million to $88.0 million, representing growth of 23% to 27% over full year 2024.
