However, the MHRA has confirmed in its response to the consultation on pre-market requirements for medical devices in Great Britain that it intends to remove the requirement for a medical device and its labeling (i.e., packaging and instructions for use) in Great Britain to bear a physical UKCA mark.
Removed
However, even in this case, manufacturers must comply with a number of new or reinforced requirements set forth in the MDR, in particular the obligations described below.
Added
Instead of requiring a medical device and its labeling to bear a UKCA mark, manufacturers will be required to assign a unique design identification (“UDI”) to a medical device and register the UDI in a publicly accessible database before the medical device is placed on the Great Britain market.

The effective tax rate for Loss from continuing operations before income taxes during 2023 was 19.8%, which was different than the 2023 U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to a build in valuation allowance on interest limitation carryforwards, non-deductible expenses and U.S. taxation on international operations.
The effective tax rate for Loss from continuing operations before income taxes during 2024 was (0.5)%, which differed from the 2024 U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21%, primarily due to a build in valuation allowance on interest limitation carryforwards and non-deductible goodwill impairment charges.
The Goodwill impairment charge of $645.0 million was due to the sustained decrease in the Company’s publicly quoted share price and market capitalization. See Item 7. Critical Accounting Policies for further discussion.

Determining the fair value of a reporting unit requires the application of judgment and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions which can be affected by changes in business climate, economic conditions, the competitive environment and other factors. We base these fair value estimates on assumptions our management believes to be reasonable but which are unpredictable and inherently uncertain.
Determining the fair value of a reporting unit requires the application of judgment and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions which can be affected by changes in business climate, economic conditions, the competitive environment and other factors.
As a result, the Company recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $645 million ($330 million for the Reconstructive reporting unit and $315 million for the Prevention & Recovery reporting unit).
As a result, the Company recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $501.0 million ($157.6 million for the Prevention & Recovery reporting unit and $343.4 million for the Reconstructive reporting unit).
If we determine that it is more likely than not for a reporting unit’s fair value to be less than its carrying value, a calculation of the fair value is performed and compared to the carrying value of that reporting unit.
If we determine that it is more likely than not for a reporting unit’s fair value to be less than its carrying value, a calculation of the fair value is performed and compared to the carrying value of that reporting unit. In certain instances, we may elect to forgo the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the quantitative impairment test.
Based upon the results of the quantitative impairment test, the Company determined the carrying values of each of the Reconstructive and Prevention & Recovery reporting units exceeded their fair values as of the date of our annual impairment test.
Based on the results of the quantitative impairment test, the Company determined the carrying value of the Reconstructive and Prevention & Recovery reporting units exceeded their fair values as of December 31, 2025.
