Management Commentary

"I am very pleased with the company's performance during 2025, which built momentum throughout the year and especially into the fourth quarter, where we reported record revenues in excess of $5 million," said Trent Northcutt, CEO of Aurora Spine. "The strong year-end results validate our current strategy, as evidenced by rising product adoption and high customer retention. Our efforts of building an internal sales force are taking shape and we continue to add more personnel to cover more open territories in the U.S."

"Contributing to our record revenue results was the introduction of new products, however our Zip and SiLO franchises experienced solid returns during the year and continue to remain strong. We are very excited about 2026, as we enter the year with more salespeople and new product offerings. Now that our Apollo plate is in production, we are prepared to forge ahead with our DEXA offerings, including the DEXA-C for cervical applications and the DEXA-L for lumbar applications. These product offerings carry key differentiators sought out by surgeons, especially in cases where patient bone density is lower than normal. We expect sales of DEXA to build throughout the year," added Mr. Northcutt.

"As we accomplished key milestones in operating performance in 2025, we have hit the ground running in 2026 and believe we have a lot to look forward to. We will continue to expand our sales team during 2026. We are also busy building a few new extensions to our current product platforms and expect those to be released later this year. While we have a great lineup of products, we want to offer new alternatives to maximize our offerings and sales efforts. We believe these new offerings will add value to our product platforms and broaden our reach among new customers in 2026 and beyond," concluded Mr. Northcutt.

Chad Clouse, Chief Financial Officer of Aurora Spine, commented, "I am pleased with how the company performed from a financial perspective. The company achieved several new records including revenues, gross profit margin percentage and EBITDAC. In addition, we made solid progress during the year through the addition of new personnel and product kits while keeping expenses under tight controls. In addition, we were extremely productive on the collection of receivables with a very strong finish to the year, giving the company additional financial flexibility as we enter into 2026. We are positioned well for the future and expect to remain diligent with our expenses and remain very strategic in nature of how we deploy capital for future growth."

Financial Results

Revenues: Total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $5.02 million, an increase of 6.8% when compared to $4.70 million in the same quarter one year ago. Total revenues for fiscal 2025 were $18.4 million, an increase of 4.6% from $17.6 million in the prior fiscal year. Revenues for the fourth quarter and fiscal year were higher due to increased sales in Zip implants and SI fusion devices along with the release of the facet fusion device, as the company has targeted the pain market with increased marketing and training, and an increase in the sales force.

Gross Profit Margin: Gross profit margin on total revenues was 62.4% for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to 57.8% in Q4 of 2024. For fiscal 2025, gross profit margin was 61.0%, up from 60.5% in 2024. Gross margins were higher due to increased sales of higher margin implants, lower distributor commissions, and lower royalty expense offset by higher shipping costs.

Operating Expenses: Total operating expenses were $3.15 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, slightly lower when compared to $3.22 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Total operating expenses were $11.8 million in fiscal year 2025, a slight increase when compared to $11.5 million for fiscal year 2024. Operating expenses were lower in the fourth quarter due to lower research and development costs as the Zip study concluded during the quarter, as well as prudent expense controls to offset increases from new salespeople and insurances.

EBITDAC: EBITDAC (a non-GAAP figure non IFRS measure defined as Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, Amortization and Stock based compensation) was $301,112 for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $(320,360) in the fourth quarter of 2024, an improvement of $621,472. EBITDAC for 2025 was $587,532 compared to $282,450 in 2024, an improvement of $305,082.
