“The first quarter of 2026 reflects the early returns on the strategy we have been executing, broadening our SI joint fusion platform, deepening surgeon engagement, and translating those investments into meaningful top-line growth. We delivered significant first quarter revenue of $1.4 million, up approximately 90% year-over-year, and significant first quarter gross profit of $0.9 million, up approximately 193%, demonstrating both the commercial traction of our Catamaran® and SImmetry®+ systems and the operating leverage we have been working to build.” said Steven M. Foster, President and CEO of Tenon Medical, Inc. “Looking ahead, our priorities are clear: drive continued procedure growth across both Catamaran® and SImmetry®+, expand our base of trained surgeons, and maintain the disciplined cost structure that is now showing through in our gross margin and field productivity. With a differentiated multi-approach portfolio, a strengthened balance sheet, and the capital flexibility from our recent financing, we believe Tenon is well positioned to build on this quarter’s momentum and deliver increasing value to patients, providers, and stockholders.”
First Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Revenue was $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2026, an increase of approximately 90% compared to $0.7 million in the same period of 2025. The increase in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to 2025 was primarily driven by continued adoption of our Catamaran system, leading to an increase in the number of surgical procedures, and the addition of revenue related to the SImmetry®+ System following the August 2025 acquisition.
Gross profit was $0.9 million, or 68.5% of revenue, in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $0.3 million, or 44.5% of revenue, in the first quarter of 2025. The twenty-four percentage point gross margin improvement was primarily driven by higher revenue in the period, driving further absorption of production overhead costs within cost of goods sold.
Operating expenses totaled $4.2 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $4.0 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase in the three months ended March 31, 2026 was driven by higher sales and marketing expenses associated with increased commercial activity due to higher revenue and ongoing rollout of the SImmetry®+ System, partially offset by lower research and development expenses.
Net loss was $3.5 million, or $0.31 per share, in the first quarter of 2026, compared to a net loss of $3.6 million, or $1.01 per share, in the first quarter of 2025. The year-over-year improvement was largely driven by increased revenue and gross profit, partially offset by higher operating expenses and interest expense related to the convertible notes issued in March 2026.
As of March 31, 2026, cash and cash equivalents totaled $4.6 million, compared to $3.8 million at December 31, 2025. In March 2026, the Company closed a private placement of senior convertible notes for gross proceeds of $4.3 million to fund continued commercial expansion, upcoming product launches, clinical studies, working capital and general corporate purposes.

Tenon Medical, Inc. is a medical device company founded in 2012 and committed to developing novel technologies for patients suffering from debilitating SI joint pain and dysfunction. The Company markets the Catamaran® and SImmetry+® SI Joint Fusion Systems, which offer a novel, less invasive approach to treating SI joint disease.

This multi-platform, multiapproach strategy strengthens Tenon’s competitive advantage in the expanding SI joint fusion market and underscores the Company’s commitment to delivering proven, durable outcomes for physicians and patients.
