Management Comments

Seth Yon, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sanara, commented, We continued to drive solid revenue growth in the second quarter of 2026 with net revenue of $28.1 million, representing a 9% increase over the second quarter of 2025, as well as gross margin of 93% supporting Adjusted EBITDA of $5.0 million.

Subsequent to the close of the quarter, we announced our entry into a transformational agreement in which Sanara is expected to be acquired by MIMEDX, a leading provider of products for applications in wound care, burn and surgical sectors of healthcare,” Mr. Yon continued. “The transaction is expected to combine Sanara’s pure play surgical focus and innovative technologies across collagen particulate, wound irrigation and bone fixation with MIMEDX’s high-growth, best-in-class surgical portfolio, creating a leading regenerative medicine company across numerous surgical subspecialties. The completion of this combination, which remains subject to customary closing conditions, would allow us to deepen our existing distributor relationships and expand our operating presence by bringing together two highly focused organizations with deep benches of talent and strong momentum in the surgical space.

“We remain focused on continuing to meet the needs of our customers and expanding penetration of our portfolio of surgical products, which include our leading product CellerateRX Surgical, BIASURGE and OsStic, a licensed synthetic injectable structural bio-adhesive bone void filler which remains on track to be introduced to the market in the first quarter of 2027,” Mr. Yon concluded.

Second Quarter and Year-to-Date 2026 Revenue

The following table summarizes revenue streams from product sales for the periods presented:

Second Quarter of 2026 Financial Results⁽¹⁾

Net revenue for the second quarter of 2026 was $28.1 million, compared to $25.8 million for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $2.3 million, or 9%, year-over-year. Higher net revenue for the second quarter of 2026 was driven by an increase of $2.5 million, or 11%, in sales of soft tissue repair products, including CellerateRX^® Surgical Powder (“CellerateRX Surgical”), BIASURGE^® Advanced Surgical Solution (“BIASURGE”) and FORTIFY TRG^® Tissue Repair Graft (“FORTIFY TRG”), offset by a slight decrease of $0.2 million, or 8%, in sales of bone fusion products.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2026 was $26.2 million, compared to $23.9 million for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $2.3 million, or 10%, year-over-year. Gross margin was 93% of net revenue for the second quarter of 2026, compared to 92% of net revenue for the second quarter of 2025. Higher gross profit and margin for the second quarter of 2026 was primarily due to the net revenue growth factors above and product mix.

Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2026 were $24.4 million, or 86.8% of net revenue, compared to $21.4 million, or 82.9% of net revenue, for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $3.0 million, or 14%, year-over-year. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to higher selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) as well as slightly increased research and development (“R&D”). Higher SG&A in the second quarter of 2026 was primarily due to increased direct sales and marketing expenses, which accounted for approximately $1.2 million of the increase, approximately $0.6 million related to compensation expense and approximately $1.1 million related to legal and advisory services associated with corporate strategic initiatives. R&D for the second quarter of 2026 increased to $1.2 million, or 4% of net revenue, compared to $1.1 million, or 4% of net revenue, for the second quarter of 2025.

Operating income for the second quarter of 2026 was $1.8 million, compared to operating income of $2.5 million for the second quarter of 2025.

Other expense for the second quarter of 2026 was $2.2 million, compared to $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2025. The increase in other expense for the second quarter of 2026 was primarily due to higher interest expense related to our term loan with CRG Servicing LLC (the “CRG Term Loan”) and our share of losses from equity method investments. In the second quarter of 2025, interest on the CRG Term Loan was paid-in-kind and capitalized to the loan balance, whereas all interest was paid in cash in the second quarter of 2026.

Net loss from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2026 was $0.4 million, or a loss of $0.05 per diluted share, compared to net income from continuing operations of $0.5 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2025. Net loss from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2026 was primarily due to higher SG&A, interest expense related to the CRG Term Loan and share of losses from equity method investments, partially offset by net revenue growth. Net loss from discontinued operations for the second quarter of 2026 was $41,720, compared to a net loss from discontinued operations of $2.5 million for the second quarter of 2025.

Adjusted EBITDA⁽²⁾ for the second quarter of 2026 was $5.0 million, compared to $4.7 million for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $0.3 million. Higher Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2026 was primarily due to net revenue growth offset by increases in SG&A.

First Six Months of 2026 Financial Results⁽¹⁾

Net revenue for the first six months of 2026 was $55.9 million, compared to $49.2 million for the first six months of 2025, an increase of $6.7 million, or 14%, year-over-year. Higher net revenue for the first six months of 2026 was driven by an increase of $7.0 million, or 16%, in sales of soft tissue repair products, including CellerateRX Surgical, BIASURGE and FORTIFY TRG, offset by a slight decrease of $0.3 million, or 5%, in sales of bone fusion products.

Gross profit for the first six months of 2026 was $52.0 million, compared to $45.5 million for the first six months of 2025, an increase of $6.5 million, or 14%, year-over-year. Gross margin was 93% of net revenue for the first six months of 2026, compared to 92% of net revenue for the first six months of 2025. Higher gross profit and margin for the first six months of 2026 was primarily due to the net revenue growth factors above and product mix.

Operating expenses for the first six months of 2026 were $47.6 million, or 85.2% of net revenue, compared to $42.2 million, or 85.8% of net revenue, for the first six months of 2025, an increase of $5.4 million, or 13%, year-over-year. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to higher SG&A offset by lower R&D, for the first six months of 2026. Higher SG&A in the first six months of 2026 was primarily due to increased direct sales and marketing expenses, which accounted for approximately $3.1 million of the increase, approximately $1.1 million related to compensation expense, approximately $1.1 million related to legal and advisory services associated with corporate strategic initiatives and approximately $0.2 million related to contracted services. R&D for the first six months of 2026 decreased to $1.9 million, or 3% of net revenue, compared to R&D of $2.0 million, or 4% of net revenue, for the first six months of 2025. Lower R&D in the first six months of 2026 was primarily due to the timing of product enhancement initiatives associated with the Company’s soft tissue repair products when compared to the first six months of 2025.

Operating income for the first six months of 2026 was $4.4 million, compared to operating income of $3.3 million for the first six months of 2025.

Other expense for the first six months of 2026 was $4.4 million, compared to $3.4 million for the first six months of 2025. The increase in other expense for the first six months of 2026 was primarily due to higher interest expense related to the CRG Term Loan and share of losses from equity method investments. In the first six months of 2025, interest on the CRG Term Loan was paid-in-kind and capitalized to the loan balance, whereas all interest was paid in cash in the first six months of 2026.

Net loss from continuing operations for the first six months of 2026 was $13,457, or zero per diluted share, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $0.1 million, or a loss of $0.01 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2025. Net loss from continuing operations for the first six months of 2026 was primarily due to higher SG&A, interest expense related to the CRG Term Loan and share of losses from equity method investments, partially offset by net revenue growth. Net income from discontinued operations for the first six months of 2026 was $19,196, compared to a net loss from discontinued operations of $5.4 million for the first six months of 2025.

Adjusted EBITDA⁽²⁾ for the first six months of 2026 was $9.3 million, compared to $7.4 million for the first six months of 2025, an increase of $1.9 million. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA in the first six months of 2026 was primarily due to net revenue growth offset by increases in SG&A.

Net cash used in operating activities in the first six months of 2026 was $0.4 million, compared to $0.7 million of net cash provided by operating activities in the first six months of 2025. The increase in net cash used in operating activities during the first six months of 2026 was primarily due to the timing of commissions payments, higher cash interest expense resulting from a larger outstanding debt balance compared to the prior-year period and the absence of paid-in-kind interest.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $15.4 million of cash and cash equivalents and $46.5 million of long-term debt, compared to $16.6 million and $46.0 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2025.

(1) As a result of the Company’s strategic realignment, the operations of THP, which were previously reported as the THP segment, have been classified as discontinued operations in Sanara’s consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS (UNAUDITED)

SANARA MEDTECH INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED)

To supplement the Company’s financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we present certain non-GAAP financial measures in this press release, including Adjusted EBITDA. The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, both internally and externally, to assess and communicate the financial performance of the Company. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) from continuing operations excluding interest expense/income, provision/benefit for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash share-based compensation expense, change in fair value of earnout liabilities, asset impairment charges, share of losses from equity method investments, gains/losses on the disposal of property and equipment, executive separation costs, and acquisition and other transaction related costs, as each is applicable to the periods presented.

The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it facilitates comparisons of the Company’s core business operations across periods on a consistent basis. Accordingly, the Company adjusts certain items when calculating Adjusted EBITDA because the Company believes that such items are not related to the Company’s core business operations.

The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, nor an alternative for, measures conforming to GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. The Company continues to provide all information required by GAAP, but it believes that evaluating its ongoing operating results may not be as useful if an investor or other user is limited to reviewing only GAAP financial measures. The Company does not, nor does it suggest that investors should, consider these non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Material limitations associated with the use of such measures include that they do not reflect all costs included in operating expenses and may not be comparable with similarly named financial measures of other companies. Furthermore, these non-GAAP financial measures are based on subjective determinations of management regarding the nature and classification of events and circumstances. The Company presents these non-GAAP financial measures to provide investors with information to evaluate the Company’s operating results in a manner similar to how management evaluates business performance. To compensate for any limitations in such non-GAAP financial measures, management believes that it is useful in understanding and analyzing the results of the business to review both GAAP information and the related non-GAAP financial measures. Whenever the Company uses a non-GAAP financial measure, it provides a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Investors are encouraged to review and consider these reconciliations.
