Removed
Our international sales and operations are subject to a variety of market and financial risks and costs that could affect our profitability and operating results.
Added
Our operating results depend in part on our ability to contain or reduce costs. There is substantial price competition in our industry and upward pressure on material and labor costs. Our success and profitability will depend on our ability to maintain a competitive cost and price structure.
Removed
If we violate, or fail to comply with these requirements, we could be fined or otherwise sanctioned by regulators.
Added
Our efforts to maintain and improve profitability depend in part on our ability to maintain or reduce the costs of materials, components, supplies and labor.
Added
While the failure of any single cost containment effort by itself would most likely not significantly impact our results, we cannot give any assurance that we will be successful in controlling material and labor 6 Table of Contents costs to maintain a competitive cost structure.
Added
There is substantial price competition in our industry, and our success and profitability will depend on our ability to maintain a competitive cost and price structure. We may have to reduce prices in the future to remain competitive.
Added
Also, our future profitability will depend in part upon our ability to continue to improve our manufacturing efficiencies and maintain a cost structure that will enable us to offer competitive prices in the face of upward pressure on material and labor costs.
Added
Our inability to maintain a competitive cost structure could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Added
Laws and regulations in various countries around the world with regards to cybersecurity, privacy and data protection are rapidly expanding and creating a complex compliance environment.
Added
These laws include evolving legislation with respect to the collection, storage, handling, use, disclosure, transfer, and security of personal data and the notification requirements in the event of unauthorized access to or acquisition of certain types of personal information.
Added
Implementation standards and enforcement practices are likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future, and we cannot yet determine the impact that future laws, regulations, standards, or perception of their requirements may have on our business.
Added
This evolution may create uncertainty in our business, affect our ability to operate in certain jurisdictions or to collect, store, transfer, use and share personal information, necessitate the acceptance of more onerous obligations in our contracts, result in liability or impose additional costs on us.
Added
Failure to comply with these laws may affect our reputation and operating results negatively, subject us to significant liabilities, costs or expenses, and may require significant management time and attention. In some cases, these legal requirements may be either unclear in their interpretation and application or they may have inconsistent or conflicting requirements with each other.
Added
In addition, some of the privacy and data protection laws and regulations in the U.S., the EU, China and other countries place restrictions on our ability to process personal data across our business or across country borders, and could impact our business and operations.
Added
Compliance with these laws, many of which entail substantial penalties for non-compliance, or future regulations could impose even greater compliance burdens and risks on us.
Added
Furthermore, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and many state Attorneys General continue to enforce federal and state consumer protection laws against companies for online collection, use, dissemination and security practices that appear to be unfair or deceptive.
Added
For example, according to the FTC, failing to take appropriate steps to keep consumers’ personal information secure can constitute violations under Section 5(a) of the Federal Trade Commission Act.
Added
The FTC expects a company’s data security measures to be reasonable and appropriate in light of the sensitivity and volume of consumer information it holds, the size and complexity of its business, and the cost of available tools to improve security and reduce vulnerabilities.
Added
The EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”), the CCPA, and the data protection and security laws of other states and countries impose additional requirements with respect to disclosure and deletion of personal information of their residents, imposing penalties for violations and, in some cases, private right of action for data breaches.
Added
These laws, and similar legislation that is developing or has been recently enacted, impose transparency and other obligations with respect to personal data of their respective residents and provide residents with similar rights for certain types of data breaches.
Added
We have invested, and continue to invest, human and technology resources in our data compliance efforts that may be time-intensive and costly.
Added
Despite our efforts, there is a risk that we may be subject to fines and penalties for non-compliance and experience litigation, reputational harm and business interruption if we fail to protect the privacy of third-party data or to comply with the GDPR, CCPA, and other applicable data privacy and protection regimes.
Added
Security breaches, including cybersecurity incidents and other disruptions could compromise our information, expose us to liability and harm our reputation and business.
Added
If unauthorized parties gain access to our systems or databases, such as with the Cyber Incident, or those of third parties on which we rely, they could be able to steal, publish, delete, hold ransom or modify our private and sensitive information, including payment information, personal information, and confidential and other proprietary business information.
Added
The Company, its customers, suppliers and business partners, as well as the Company’s employees, could suffer harm if valuable business data, or employee, customer and other confidential and proprietary information were corrupted, lost, accessed or misappropriated by third parties due to a cyber-attack, a security systems failure, or due to one of our third-party service providers or our employees.
Added
Even the most well protected IT networks, systems and facilities remain potentially vulnerable because the techniques used in attempted cybersecurity attacks are continually evolving, and may not be recognized until after the attack is launched against a target or, in some instances, are designed not to be detected and, in fact, may not be detected.
Added
Any such compromise of the Company’s or any of our partners’ IT systems could result in unauthorized access, public disclosure, or loss of personal, sensitive, or confidential business information, could result in legal claims and proceedings, liability under applicable laws and regulatory penalties, and could disrupt the Company’s operations, require significant management attention and resources to remedy any damages that result, and damage the Company’s reputation and customer willingness to transact business with it, any of which could adversely affect its business.
Added
We experienced a material information technology (“IT”) systems incident in February 2026, which could result in a number of potentially unknown outcomes, including but not limited to, litigation, regulatory investigations or enforcement actions, or reputational harm, any of which could have a material impact on our business operations, financial condition, or results of operations.
Added
On or about February 14, 2026, the Company detected suspicious activity involving its IT systems (the “Cyber Incident”). Upon detecting the issue, the Company began taking steps to assess, contain, and remediate the unauthorized activity, including isolating the affected systems and launching an investigation with the assistance of external cybersecurity advisors.
Added
The incident appears to have impacted many but not all of the Company’s IT systems and affected functions such as billing and label making for customer deliveries. Certain Company or Company-related data appear to have been stolen or destroyed.
Added
Although the Company has ascertained that certain files were exfiltrated, it is still investigating the extent of any sensitive information contained in the accessed systems, including whether any personal information was exfiltrated.
Added
It is evaluating what legal and regulatory notifications and filings may be required as a result of this incident and will make such filings as are required based on its findings.
Added
As a result of the Cyber Incident, we may be subject to business disruptions or governmental investigations, private litigation or other claims, which could result in fines, other monetary relief, or injunctive relief that could materially increase our data security costs, adversely impact how we operate our systems and collect and use personal information.
Added
If, as a result of any such governmental investigation, other investigation or claim, we are found to be in violation of applicable laws and regulations including, without limitation, any applicable data privacy and information security laws or regulations, we could be subject to legal risk, including governmental enforcement action and civil litigation, which could adversely affect our business, reputation, financial condition or results of operations.
Added
Defending any such litigation claim or enforcement action, regardless of merit, and whether successful or unsuccessful, and cooperating with regulatory investigations, could be expensive and time-consuming and adversely affect our business, reputation, results of operations or financial condition.
Added
In addition, we may be adversely impacted by reputational harm or a loss of confidence in the security and integrity of our IT systems among customers, employees and business partners.
Added
As of the date hereof, the Cyber Incident has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial systems, operations or financial condition due in part to the Company’s planned solutions for the issues posed by the incident.
Added
There is no 11 Table of Contents assurance these planned solutions will work in the future for the Cyber Incident or any future incident.
Added
While the Company’s investigation and assessment of the Cyber Incident is ongoing, as of the date hereof, the Company does not believe the incident is reasonably likely to materially impact the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
Added
There can be no assurance that the Cyber Incident or any future cybersecurity incidents will not have a material impact on the Company’s future operations, financial systems or financial condition.
Added
If we fail to accurately forecast component and raw material requirements for our products, we could incur additional costs and experience significant delays in shipments, which could have an adverse effect on the results of our business operations, and could damage our relationships with customers. We use rolling forecasts based on anticipated product orders to determine our production requirements.

Organic net sales grew 8.5%, fueled by strong sales in the robotic surgery and infection prevention markets.
Added
The increase was primarily attributable to 23.2% growth in sales to customers in the medical market, which was largely due to sales from the companies we acquired in 2024 and 2025 (See Note 2 for further information regarding these acquisitions).
Removed
We attribute the increase in net sales primarily to increased net sales from newly acquired companies of $70.3 million as well as 8.5% increased organic net sales fueled by increases in the robotic surgery and infection prevention markets. Overall net sales to customers in the medical market increased 30.2% while net sales to customers in other markets were flat.
Added
These companies collectively contributed approximately $168.3 million in sales for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $73.1 million in the same period last year. Organic sales growth was 1.5% for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.
Removed
As a percentage of net sales, material costs decreased 1.8% while overhead and labor costs collectively increased 0.8%. We attribute the increase in gross margin primarily to the accretive margins from the Company’s recent acquisitions as well as increased manufacturing efficiencies and the containment of fixed overhead costs.
Added
In 2025, we executed a post-acquisition review of our AJR labor force’s United States employment eligibility through E-Verify protocols. This review has resulted in significant workforce turnover during the year (the "AJR Labor Issue").
Removed
The gross margin increases were achieved despite the absorption of approximately $1.1 million in purchase accounting expenses (step-up of inventory to fair value at acquisition date).
Added
Attention spent by experienced employees training new direct and indirect employees in our standards and policies has decreased productivity and therefore, has created inefficiencies in our AJR operations. To address the AJR Labor Issue, we recruited legally eligible replacement associates.
Removed
Other (Income) Expense Other income was approximately $189 thousand and other expense was approximately $117 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The changes in other income/expense are primarily generated by equity method investment income in 2024 and foreign currency transaction gains/losses in both 2024 and 2023.
Added
We estimate that the AJR Labor Issue added over $6.3 million in incremental labor cost to our cost-of-sales for year ended December 31, 2025.
Removed
The increase in the effective tax rate for the current period as compared to the prior period is largely due to the difference in discrete items during the two periods as well as more United States based income in 2024 as a result of the recent acquisitions.
Added
Impact of Tariffs In 2025, the United States imposed increased tariffs on foreign imports into the United States, including all the countries in which we manufacture goods outside the United States and also the countries in which our customers operate.
Removed
Cash Flows Net cash provided by operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 was approximately $66.6 million and was primarily a result of net income generated of approximately $59.0 million, depreciation and amortization of approximately $14.7 million, share-based compensation of approximately $6.8 million, a change in the fair value of contingent consideration of approximately $1.0 million, an increase in net deferred income tax liabilities of approximately $ 1.3 million, a decrease in accounts receivable of approximately $1.2 million due to the collection of an escrow receivable, and a decrease in other assets of approximately $0.6 million. 23 These cash inflows and adjustments to income were partially offset by an increase in inventory of approximately $4.7 million due to inventory build for upcoming demand, an increase in prepaid expenses of approximately $0.5, an increase in refundable income taxes of approximately $3.4 million due to conservative estimated tax payments in in 2024, a decrease in accounts payable of approximately $1.1 million due to the timing of vendor payments in the ordinary course of business, a decrease in deferred revenue of approximately $1.9 million due to the recognition of development revenue and a decrease in other long-term liabilities of approximately $6.5 million due primarily to non-compete payments and payments of contingent consideration.
Added
Although agreements have been made with various countries, the tariff policy environment remains dynamic, particularly in light of recent Supreme Court decisions, and we cannot predict what additional actions may ultimately be taken by the United States or other governments with respect to tariffs or trade relations, including retaliatory trade measures taken by other countries in response to existing or future United States tariffs or other measures.
Removed
Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $152.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 and was primarily the result of borrowings under the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement of approximately $284.2 million to recent acquisitions.
Added
We estimate that tariffs not reimbursed by customers were immaterial to our 2025 results. Cyber Incident On or about February 14, 2026, the Company detected the Cyber Incident (as defined in Item 1C, Cybersecurity). As of the date hereof, the incident has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial systems, operations or financial condition.
Removed
The Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amends and restates the Company’s prior credit agreement, originally dated as of December 22, 2021.
Added
While the Company’s investigation and assessment of this incident is ongoing, as of the date of this filing, the Company believes its primary IT systems are operational in all material respects and the Company does not believe the incident is reasonably likely to materially impact the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
Removed
The Company’s obligations under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Subsidiary Guarantors and secured by substantially all assets of the Company.
Added
There can be no assurance that the Cyber Incident or any future cybersecurity incidents will not have a material impact on the Company’s future operations, financial systems or financial condition.
Removed
The Company’s longer-term liquidity is contingent upon future operating performance and the availability of draws on its revolving credit facility.
Added
The increase in net sales is primarily due to increased sales to customers in the medical market of 23.2%. This increase includes sales from the companies we acquired in 2024 and 2025, which collectively contributed approximately $168.3 million in sales during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $73.1 million in the same period last year.
Removed
Stock Repurchase Program The Company accounts for treasury stock under the cost method, using the first-in, first-out cost flow assumption, and includes treasury stock as a component of stockholders’ equity. On June 16, 2015, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $10.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock.
Added
The increase is primarily attributable to increased headcount and other back-office resources for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.
Removed
Under the program, the Company is authorized to repurchase shares through Rule 10b5-1 plans, open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block purchases or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Added
These costs were primarily for legal, due diligence and valuation services and are reflected on the face of the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Removed
The stock repurchase program will end upon the earlier of the date on which the plan is terminated by the Board or when all authorized repurchases are completed. The timing and amount of stock repurchases, if any, will be determined based upon our evaluation of market conditions and other factors.
Added
The change in fair value of contingent consideration for the Welch, Marble, and DAS Medical acquisitions resulted in an expense of approximately $0.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Removed
The stock repurchase program may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time, and the Company has no obligation to repurchase any amount of its common stock under the program. There were no share repurchases during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022.
Added
The decrease in the effective tax rate for the current period as compared to the prior period is largely due to a shift in mix or pre-tax income to jurisdictions where we are taxed at a favorable rate as well as increased discrete tax benefits associated with vested equity and a state tax refund.
Removed
The Company evaluates its estimates, including those listed below, on an ongoing basis.
Added
At December 31, 2025, the weighted average interest rate was approximately 5.1% and we were in compliance with all covenants under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
Removed
Valuation of Intangible Assets and Contingent Consideration Liability We base the fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination on detailed valuations that use information and assumptions provided by management, which consider management’s best estimates of inputs and assumptions that a market participant would use.
Added
Enactment of the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (OBBBA) On July 4, 2025, President Donald Trump signed the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (OBBBA) into law, which is considered the enactment date under U.S. GAAP.
Removed
Further, for those arrangements that involve potential future contingent consideration, we record on the date of acquisition a liability equal to the fair value of the estimated additional consideration we may be obligated to pay in the future.
Added
Key corporate tax provisions include the restoration of 100% bonus depreciation, immediate expensing for domestic research and experimental expenditures, changes to Section 163(j) interest limitations, updates to GILTI and FDII rules, amendments to energy credits, and expanded Section 162(m) aggregation requirements.
Removed
We remeasure this liability each reporting period and record changes in the fair value through a separate line item within our consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Added
In accordance with ASC 740, the effects of the new tax law have been recognized in the period of enactment. The impact of OBBBA to our income tax expense is immaterial.
Removed
Increases or decreases in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability can result from changes in discount rates, periods, timing and amount of projected revenue or timing or likelihood of achieving regulatory, revenue or commercialization-based milestones.
Added
We do not believe that any of the significant accounting policies required significant judgment and estimates in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. 27 Table of Contents
