Current report

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $4,172, or 5.3%, driven by $2,228 higher personnel costs, including travel and share-based compensation, largely as a result of headcount growth.

Previous wording

During the first quarter of 2026, we realized strong growth resulting from our strategic initiatives of product innovation, clinical science and physician education and training to expand awareness and adoption. Our worldwide revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $141,249, representing an increase of $17,629, or 14.3% (12.8% on a constant currency basis), over the first three months of 2025, highlighted by accelerated adoption in our pain management, appendage management, and open ablation product lines, where recent product innovation contributed to growth. There are limited competitors in our key markets; however, new entrants are developing competing products, procedures, and/or clinical solutions that may cause variability in our results.

Current wording

In 2026, we have maintained growth across most of our key franchises and geographies, resulting from our strategic initiatives of product innovation, clinical science and physician education and training to expand awareness and adoption. Our worldwide revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $294,853, representing an increase of $35,094, or 13.5% (12.6% on a constant currency basis), over the first six months of 2025, highlighted by accelerated adoption in our pain management, appendage management, and open ablation product lines, where recent product innovation continued to contribute to growth. We have limited competition today; however, our key markets are attracting competition from new entrants developing competing products, procedures, and/or clinical solutions. Increasing competition may lead to loss of market share in critical franchises, pricing and margin pressure, and increased costs, which could adversely affect our revenue and profitability.

Previous wording

PRODUCT INNOVATION. We continue to see growth from our most recent product innovations. We remain focused on sustaining this momentum by advancing our internal research and product development efforts with the objective of enhancing our existing portfolio and supporting the introduction of future products while pursuing regulatory approvals to market and sell globally across all franchises. In April 2026, we received CE mark approval under EU MDR in Europe for our AtriClip FLEX-Mini® and PRO-Mini® devices and expect to launch both products in Europe later this year.
