Preliminary full year domestic net revenue is expected to be $186.2 million, representing 16% annual growth and international net revenue is expected to be $49.9 million, representing 15% annual growth. • Generated preliminary unaudited fourth quarter 2025 net revenue of $61.3 million, representing 16% growth compared to $52.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Preliminary domestic fourth quarter net revenue is expected to be $48.4 million, representing 13% growth compared to the prior year period, and international net revenue is expected to be $12.9 million, representing 32% growth compared to the prior year period. • Generated approximately $6.0 - $7.0 million dollars of fourth quarter 2025 free cash flow, resulting in total year 2025 free cash flow usage being over 50% lower than total year 2024. • Received EUMDR certification for Response Spine 4.5/5.0 and 5.5/6.0, as well as trauma and deformity plates, screws, intramedullary nails, and related instruments. 2026 Financial Guidance OrthoPediatrics projects 2026 revenue to be in the range of $262 million to $266 million, representing 11% to 13% growth compared to full year 2025 preliminary unaudited net revenue.

"We are also extremely pleased with the specialty bracing (OPSB) business, which remains a tremendous market opportunity and a strategic catalyst for deepening customer relationships. OPSB is proving to be a capital-efficient driver of both revenue and earnings, and we are only beginning to unlock its full potential as we scale in the years ahead. In 2025, we helped over 37,500 children in the fourth quarter alone and nearly 1.3 million since inception, while generating record preliminary unaudited revenue growth of 15% from 2024, and significantly reducing free cash flow usage year-over-year. Looking forward, we are confident that our growth drivers and operational discipline position us to execute on our long-term outlook and continue making a meaningful impact for children worldwide."
