Q & A Highlights

Q: Can you elaborate on the impact of product mix and market dynamics on your guidance? A: Moshe Mizrahy, CEO, explained that the slowdown began in mid-2023 due to rising interest rates and inflation, affecting leasing packages for equipment purchases. This led to reduced capital expenditure by doctors and decreased consumer confidence, impacting the number of procedures. The company sold fewer disposables compared to two years ago, indicating a decline in minimally invasive procedures. Despite introducing new platforms, the market has not yet shown signs of recovery.

Q: How are you factoring in the macroeconomic environment into your guidance? A: Moshe Mizrahy, CEO, stated that the guidance of $395 million to $405 million was set with the expectation of a typical seasonal pattern. The company is hopeful for market recovery in the next two quarters. If Q2 results do not meet expectations, the guidance may need to be adjusted.

Q: What is the status of your sales force and investment strategy during this slowdown? A: Moshe Mizrahy, CEO, emphasized the importance of retaining talent and maintaining investment in the business. The company has decided not to cut costs by reducing workforce or development efforts, believing that retaining their skilled team will position them well for future growth when the market recovers.

Q: Can you provide more details on the tariff impact and how it affects your margins? A: Yair Malca, CFO, explained that the tariff impact is estimated to be 2% to 3% on gross margins, assuming current US tariffs remain at 10%. The situation is fluid, and the company is monitoring developments closely. The guidance includes this tariff impact from Q2 to Q4.

Q: How are new products contributing to your revenue guidance? A: Moshe Mizrahy, CEO, noted that new products typically contribute more than 20% of total revenue. However, in the current market slowdown, the contribution from new products is not expected to exceed the average. The company continues to innovate and introduce new platforms, but market conditions will influence their impact.
