The earnings report shows strong financial performance with significant revenue and EPS growth, despite minor inefficiencies. The Q&A indicates solid market positioning, no excess inventory issues, and growth in several segments. However, modest growth in the robotic surgery market and lack of a share repurchase program slightly temper the overall sentiment. Given the small-cap market cap, the positive aspects are likely to lead to a stock price increase in the range of 2% to 8% over the next two weeks.
Revenue $148.1 million (up 41.1% year-over-year from $105 million). Growth driven by a 50.4% increase in medical market sales to $135.4 million, while sales to other markets decreased by 15%.
Operating Income $25.8 million (up 49.5% year-over-year). Growth rate exceeds sales growth due to leveraging SG&A expenses.
Gross Margin 28.5% (down slightly from 28.6% year-over-year). Decrease attributed to inefficiencies in newly acquired AJR operations during onboarding of new labor associates.
Adjusted EPS $2.47 (up 39.5% year-over-year). Growth attributed to strong overall performance and operational efficiencies.
GAAP EPS $2.21 (up 34.8% year-over-year). Growth driven by increased sales and operational performance.
Adjusted EBITDA $30.2 million (up 45.9% year-over-year). Growth driven by increased sales and effective cost management.
Cash from Operations $13.8 million generated during the quarter. This reflects strong operational performance.
Debt Repayment Approximately $7 million paid down during the quarter, contributing to a leverage ratio of below 1.5 times.
Capital Expenditures $2.8 million during the quarter, reflecting ongoing investments in growth initiatives.

The earnings call reflects a positive sentiment with key highlights: a 5.1% increase in robotic surgery revenue, strong demand in interventional orthopedics, and successful acquisitions. Despite AJR's labor issues, the company maintains a stable operating margin and continues debt reduction. The Q&A section reveals optimism about future contracts and growth, particularly with Intuitive. Although AJR inefficiencies impact margins, improvements are anticipated. The market cap suggests moderate sensitivity to these developments, leading to a positive stock price prediction.
The earnings call highlights strong revenue growth, especially in the medical business and with key customers like Stryker. Despite labor inefficiencies impacting margins, the company expects recovery by Q4. The Q&A session reveals optimism in robotic surgery opportunities and resolved inventory issues.
