Q & A Highlights

Q: Can you provide more details on capital deployment and share repurchase plans? Are you still considering M&A opportunities? A: Moshe Mizrahy, CEO: We are always exploring M&A opportunities, but currently, we haven't found anything synergetic. Therefore, we expanded our buyback program, repurchasing $285 million in 2024 and announcing another 10% buyback. If a suitable opportunity arises, we will explore it.

Q: Are you seeing any signs of economic recovery that could impact your business positively in 2025? A: Moshe Mizrahy, CEO: Unfortunately, we don't see signs of economic recovery yet. We previously estimated improvement in the second quarter of 2024, but that was incorrect. We remain cautious and will report any positive changes when they occur.

Q: Can you update us on the management changes and their impact on operations? A: Moshe Mizrahy, CEO: We made significant management changes in 2024, including new leadership in Europe and the US. We are focusing on direct sales to enhance market presence. In Asia, we appointed a new VP to drive growth. These changes aim to improve efficiency and market reach.

Q: How do you expect the business to recover once economic conditions improve? A: Moshe Mizrahy, CEO: Recovery will depend on interest rates decreasing and patients returning for minimally invasive procedures. We monitor disposable sales as an indicator. Once conditions improve, we expect demand for our systems to increase.

Q: What are your expectations for seasonality in 2025 compared to 2024? A: Yair Malca, CFO: We anticipate returning to traditional seasonality in 2025, with Q1 being the slowest and Q4 the strongest. This contrasts with 2024, where seasonality was atypical.
