1From Q1/2026, the company has transitioned to reporting adjusted sales margin to be aligned with industry reporting standards. The adjusted sales margin describes the profitability of implant sales before commercialization-related expenses, such as sales commissions. Adjusted sales margin comprises the net sales of implants deducted by related cost of sales and extraordinary expenses. Items recognized below the adjusted sales margin will include, among others, commissions and external services considered fixed in nature.

CEO Sarah van Hellenberg Hubar-Fisher's comments
H1 close signals momentum
In the second quarter, our commercial momentum continued by growing net sales by 62% to EUR 1.1 million. We achieved 133% year-over-year growth in the U.S. and 63% in Europe, demonstrating consistent volume growth and representation of market demand across targeted geographies. Our revenue base continues to reflect deliberate diversification through a broader mix of customers and distribution partners across key markets, reducing concentration risk and strengthening the quality of revenue. This is also reflected as improvements in the adjusted sales margin.
Alongside our commercial progress, we maintained a strong focus on cost discipline and operational efficiency. These results continue to signal the impact of the significant strategic adjustments made in 2025 and provide the foundation for sustainable long-term growth. Commercial growth combined with disciplined execution will be key to further improving the scalability of our business.
Expansion of the RemeOs™ platform remains a priority
Our strategy for 2026-2028 prioritizes disciplined execution, capital efficiency, and continued innovation through the expansion of the RemeOs™ platform. In research and development, our focus is on progressing the near-term product pipeline and expanding our patent portfolio across all three distinct materials, addressing a broader range of clinical needs in upper and lower extremities. In early development, we continue to progress our preclinical efforts for our spine portfolio, demonstrating further breadth of indication expansion and material performance with our hybrid composite.
Whilst we secure our future position with the continued development of material expertise and experience, we must also strengthen our focus on evidence generation through reputable clinical studies and related publications that demonstrate the value of our breakthrough claims.
To support us on this path, we announced the appointment of Conan Cavanagh as Head of Research & Development, effective as of 1 September 2026. Conan will be responsible for our R&D strategy, product portfolio management, and the execution of the product development program. We are confident that his experience will support the execution of our strategy, technology development and international growth. In addition, our former CTO Timo Lehtonen will continue his contributions toward our world class materials science leadership, technology expertise and strategy as an External Executive Advisor.
Discipline and Delivery
The results from the first half of this year represent a focus on discipline to drive deliverables. Across all functions of the business, our priorities and processes remain under scrutiny, ensuring that resourcing is allocated appropriately and effectively and the spirit of execution remains in service of a high performing organization. As we build our category leadership position further, we continue to set the foundation for a commercially robust and scalable business in high-value markets with repeatable demand drivers.
To achieve this, we will invest in strengthening our market presence and visibility across key markets, driving excellence in defined measures of success per market such as repeat surgeon utilization, consistent growth targets, industry defining publications, and expansion of the RemeOs™ product line.
The first two quarters of 2026 have provided clear signals that our strategy and commercial investments are translating into measurable results. We carry this momentum and increased confidence into the rest of 2026, with a continued commitment to defining our position as a category leader and delivering on our promise of patient outcomes that represent the best in material science where Biology meets Bone.
