Welcome to BONESUPPORT Q3 2025. For the first part of the conference call, the participants will be in listen-only mode. During the questions and answers session, participants are able to ask questions by dialing pound key five on their telephone keypad. Now, I will hand the conference over to CEO Torbjörn Sköld and CFO Håkan Johansson, please go ahead. Thank you, operator. Welcome everyone to BONESUPPORT's Q3 2025 results call. My name is Torbjörn Sköld and since September 1st, I am the CEO of BONESUPPORT. With me here today is our CFO, Håkan Johansson, and together the two of us will use the next 25 minutes to guide you through the Q3 report and then open the line for any questions. Before starting the presentation, I would like to draw your attention to the disclaimers covering any forward-looking statements that we will make today. Next slide, please. Let's look at the financial and operational highlights from the quarter. Q3 was another strong quarter with solid execution across the business. Net sales came in at SEK 294 million, corresponding to a growth of 24% versus Q3 2024. Sales growth at constant currency was 34%, showing that there is continued strong currency impact on our figures for the quarter. Our operating results, excluding incentive program effects, was SEK 79 million, corresponding to an adjusted operating margin of 27%. Reported operating results was SEK 65 million, and we saw strong cash generation with operating cash flow reaching SEK 71 million, leading to a cash position at the end of the quarter of SEK 379 million. One highlight in the quarter was the publication of the long-awaited CeraHip study, which now kicks off our market penetration efforts in this market segment: revision arthroplasty. We will look deeper into this later in the presentation. We continue to see strong traction for CERAMENT G in the U.S., where both new accounts and increased use among current users contributed to the strong progress. CERAMENT G sales in the U.S. reached SEK 192 million for the quarter. Furthermore, the proposed NTAP for CERAMENT G in open trauma has now been decided upon, as well as a 6% general increase in CERAMENT relevant DRG codes by CMS for orthopedics. All in all, an eventful and successful quarter. As I've transitioned into my new role and reflect on the business, I find our strategy sound and that the business develops very well. What really stands out is the solid evidence base supporting the CERAMENT platform and the significant long-term opportunity of CERAMENT globally in several clinical segments. This spring, we're planning to host a Capital Markets Day where we'll share a structured overview of our key initiatives and our path forward. We'll follow up with more details and the official date later. Hi, this is the moderator speaking. We're having some technical issues, but we are going to try to get the speakers back as soon as possible. The speakers have connected again. Can the moderator please confirm whether the sound and technology is up again? Yes, everything is great. Thank you very much. Thank you, moderator. Moderator, can you please inform us how long did you listen to us? We came to, you were at the third slide in the third quarter report. Okay. I assume that we have gone through Slide 3 and we move over to the sales development. This chart shows the last 12 months' sales in Swedish krona by quarter since 2019 in stacked bars by region by product category. As you can see, the launch momentum for CERAMENT G in the U.S. is exceptionally strong. However, in the last two quarters, we've seen strong influence from the U.S. dollar to Swedish krona depreciation. Last 12 months' growth in Q3 of 37% in the graph corresponds to an even stronger 41% at constant exchange rates. Most of this quarter-over-quarter slowdown in the last 12 months' sales is due to the strong currency impact. CERAMENT BVF last 12 months dropped 2% year- over- year in constant currency. In total, antibiotic-eluting CERAMENT grew with 59% last 12 months in the quarter in constant currency. Next slide, please. In the U.S., sales amounted to SEK 246 million, representing a growth of 40% at constant exchange rates. There was some general variability during the quarter due to the usual stop-and-go dynamics, a reflection of the strong pace of new customer recruitment over the past six to eight months. As part of our mission to modernize an outdated standard of care in the U.S., we have successfully opened one market segment after another. We started with foot and ankle, then we followed with trauma, and now we're moving into revision arthroplasty. Revision arthroplasty and the subset segment of periprosthetic joint infections are areas we have not specifically focused on in the past. Each year, approximately 1.5 million primary joint replacements are performed in the U.S., with just over 70,000 revision procedures requiring bone graft. The CeraHip study results are groundbreaking. Although the study is not very large, patients have been followed for an average of 3.3 years with no infections reported. I'll speak more about CeraHip on the next slide. We have expanded our U.S. organization, and we plan to recruit additional team members with specialized expertise in revision arthroplasty to support the market entry and the medical education programs. We are expanding our presence in the market to introduce CERAMENT BVF for use in spine procedures in Q4 2025. Several distributors are now in place to begin engaging with spine surgeons. Some of these distributors are already our partners today on the extremity side, while others represent new collaborations. The spine segment is new for us, and we will begin generating clinical data during 2026 to establish a foundation for further market penetration. We've also made strong progress in evaluating and preparing the regulatory pathway for introducing CERAMENT G into the spine segment. We have reached a stage where guidance from the FDA on the regulatory path is required. We plan to meet with the FDA at the beginning of 2026. The path forward will be shared and communicated at the Capital Markets Day this spring in 2026. The team has been working diligently with assembling data in reply to FDA's question on CERAMENT V, and we expect to send in the supplementary data pack in November. The material relates mostly to clarifications and making sure that the evidence is presented in the way that FDA wants to have it. Being a pioneer technology, there's no template as how to bring forward the evidence. The thoroughness of the process testifies to the rigor of solid data required to qualify a product into the unique category of antibiotic-eluting bone graft. We should remember that this category is defined by another CERAMENT product, namely CERAMENT G. Let's turn to Europe. Next slide, please. Sales performance in Europe continues to be influenced by the same dynamics observed in Q2. The third quarter typically shows some volatility due to seasonal factors. Additionally, the contraction and disruption in Germany have persisted as anticipated. Sales in Europe came in at SEK 48 million, representing 5% year-over-year growth and 7% at constant exchange rates. Hybrid markets in Southern Europe, Australia, and Canada are performing strongly. We're beginning to see positive traction from the investments made during the first half of 2025, reflected in improved sales performance. In the U.K., the previously announced prioritization of hip and knee surgeries is gradually restoring procedure volumes, which bodes well for the future of BONESUPPORT in the U.K. However, the pace of recovery varies by region and is largely dependent on staffing levels. During the quarter, the European Bone and Joint Infection Society held its annual meeting. Several podium presentations and posters highlighted the efficacy of CERAMENT G and CERAMENT V in single-stage procedures and demonstrated improvements in patient outcomes. A poster presentation by Dr. Meller from Charité, showcasing results from the CeraHip study, attracted significant interest and a large audience. We'll review the detailed findings from the now published study on the next slide. Also, Professor Ferreira from University Hospital Stellenbosch presented results from his study involving 103 trauma patients with bone infections. These patients were treated with a single-stage procedure using CERAMENT G or CERAMENT V. After an average follow-up of 11 months, 96% remained infection-free, and no amputations done. Sorry, we're having some technical issues again. The speakers will be back as soon as possible. Annual meeting of the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons, AAHKS, in Texas, which last year attracted over 5,100 participants. In fact, our U.S. team is actively preparing for the event at this very moment as it kicks off today. Now, I'll leave a deep dive into the numbers to Håkan. Håkan, please. Thank you, Torbjörn. Again, sorry for what seems to be a day of technical disruptions, and hopefully somehow everything stabilizes. Into the financials, net sales improved from SEK 237 million to SEK 294 million, equaling a growth of 24%. Reported sales growth of 34% in constant currency. Torbjörn has already spoken about the solid performance in especially the U.S. and the major drivers behind the sales growth. As the weak U.S. dollar somewhat hides a continued strong trajectory in the U.S., I would like to share the U.S. sales performance in U.S. dollar. This slide shows the quarterly sales in the U.S. in U.S. dollar with continued solid performance quarter to quarter. The growth in dollar in the quarter of 40% should be viewed in perspective of volatility on CERAMENT BVF sales, being 1.7% below same quarter last year, whilst CERAMENT G continued to show solid performance with a growth of 59.2%. The contribution from the U.S. segment improved with SEK 31.9 million and amounted to SEK 111.2 million. The improved contribution relates to increased sales after the effect from increased costs. Sales and marketing expenses during the quarter amounted to SEK 123.6 million compared with SEK 102.6 million previous year, of which sales commissions to distributors and fees amounted to SEK 84.2 million compared with SEK 65 million in the same quarter last year. From the lower graph showing net sales as bars and gross margin as the orange marker, it can be noted that the gross margin remains stable and strong around 95%. In Europe and the rest of the world, a contribution of SEK 12.5 million was reported to be compared with SEK 15.6 million previous year. Sales and marketing expenses increased with SEK 4.6 million, including SEK 2 million related to the previously communicated commercial investment in the Euro booster program. From the lower graph and orange marker, a minor drop in gross margin is noted, mainly impacted by market mix. The flat selling expenses compared with the same quarter previous year is due to a depreciated U.S. dollar, but also an effect of seasonality. As mentioned previously, the quarter also included SEK 2 million related to the Euro booster program. R&D remained focused on the execution of strategic initiatives such as the application studies in spine procedures and the market authorization submission for CERAMENT V in the U.S. These initiatives have been progressing well during the quarter and among others leading up to the launch of our product CERAMENT BVF in spine later this year. Administration expenses, excluding the effects from the long-term incentive programs, remain on a stable level. The reported operating result amounted to SEK 65.4 million, despite unfavorable currency effects totaling SEK 5.7 million, and I will come back to this in a following slide. The newly introduced tariffs in the U.S. are not expected to have a material impact on cost in 2025 due to high safety inventories. The full effect of the current 15% tariff equals a 0.8% impact on U.S. gross margins and will come gradually with full effect from 2027. The difference between adjusted and reported operating result are costs regarding the long-term incentive programs amounting to an expense of SEK 13.2 million in the quarter compared with SEK 7.3 million previous year, as you could see from the previous slide. Cash conversion remains solid with a fifth consecutive quarter with strong cash flow and an increase in cash during the period with SEK 69.3 million. Despite unfavorable currency effect, with this report, with a strong adjusted operating result and a solid cash flow, we continue to confirm a strong operating leverage and a business scalability. During the period, the Swedish krona has continued to strengthen against the U.S. dollar. Other operating income and expenses therefore contain foreign exchange gains and losses from the translation of the group's assets and liabilities in foreign currency, amounting to a -SEK 5.7 million. Simply put, the -SEK 5.7 million is mainly driven by the operating assets in the U.S., such as inventories and trade receivables. These are originally valued in U.S. dollars and at quarter end translated into a much stronger Swedish currency versus last quarter. The graph on this slide shows with the gray bars how the relationship between the U.S. dollar closing rate and the Swedish krona has varied over time. This is read out on the right y-axis. The blue dotted line read out to the left axis shows the reported adjusted operating result. The adjusted operating result excluding translation exchange effects is the orange line. To explain, in Q4 2024, the U.S. dollar to SEK was above 11 SEK, which gave a positive effect of SEK 20 million in the quarter, and therefore the blue dotted line is above the orange line. In Q1 2025, the U.S. dollar to SEK rate was 10.02, creating a negative impact of SEK 30 million. In Q2, the U.S. dropped down to 9.49, creating a negative impact of $11 million, and in Q3, continuing down to 9.41 with a negative impact of $5.7 million, meaning that the blue dotted line dropped below the orange line for these three quarters. The orange line eliminates the translation exchange effects and gives a more comparable view of the underlying trend in operating profit. In the table below the graph, you can see the FX adjusted operating margin of close to 29% in the period compared with 23% in the same quarter last year. With this, I hand back to you, Torbjörn. Thank you, Håkan. If we take the last slide. To summarize, Q3 2025 for BONESUPPORT, sales grew 34% in constant currency, reflecting steady and consistent progress. Adjusted operating margin reached 27%. Cash flow remains robust, underscoring the health of the business and its scalability. With the publication of the CeraHip study, strong endorsement from leading surgeons at Charité, and detailed procedural guidance for using CERAMENT G in revision arthroplasty, we're unlocking a new avenue for market expansion. This marks a significant step forward in our ongoing mission to transform the standard of care. We maintain our guidance on sales growth above 40% in constant currency for full year 2025. To conclude, my first period at BONESUPPORT has been as rewarding as it has been intense. I'm convinced that the most exciting part of our journey still lies ahead. As said, to provide a clearer view of what that journey will look like, we will host a Capital Markets Day in the spring of 2026. Lastly, again, apologies for the technical issues that we've had during the call, but now we're happy to open the line for any questions that you might have. Thank you. If you wish to ask a question, please dial pound key five on your telephone keypad to enter the queue. If you wish to withdraw your question, please dial pound key six on your telephone keypad. The next question comes from Erik Cassel from Danske Bank. Please go ahead. Hi, good morning. Inderes probably cut out 70% of what you said, so you have to excuse us if we repeat some stuff. First, I just want to confirm the sales lever for CERAMENT G in the U.S. Was that $19.9 million, 59% organic growth, or is it a completely different figure? Again, as commented as well, CERAMENT G reported a 59% growth. Okay, good. First, I then want to ask, what are you seeing for trauma now during the initial three weeks of NTAP for CERAMENT G in the U.S.? Again, as communicated previously, what we see is a slightly different market dynamics than what we experienced launching into when there is a bone infection. When there is a bone infection, the surgeon was looking for treatment options, and CERAMENT G fitted very well. With trauma surgeons, it's a bit of a timing issue. If we meet a trauma surgeon and the trauma surgeon hasn't had a patient coming back with a bone infection during the latest weeks or months, it's a harder call to convince the surgeon to try a new product. However, if the surgeon has had a bone infection lately, it's an easier call to convince the surgeon to start trying. What we see confirms what's been previously communicated. It's a big market potential in trauma, but market penetration to start with will be somewhat slower than when there is a bone infection. Okay, just specifically on the NTAP, you haven't seen that in and of itself accelerate uptake anything? Again, the NTAP, Erik, is valid from 1st of October, so it's too early to see whether this has any impact in the penetration of the trauma segment. Okay, thanks. U.K. down 5.5% year- over- year. Germany, you said, was worse. Is it possible to give any sort of more specific numbers on how bad Germany is doing and sort of how much that represents of the European sales? Again, we have always been precautious to disclose exact numbers on a geographic level, but again, there are structural challenges. Sorry, the speakers have been disconnected again. If you have to stay on the line, I hope they will. Oh, the speakers were not disconnected. We heard them. Okay. Thank you. Do you hear us now, Erik? Yeah, I hear you loud and clear. Thank you. Again, some of the challenges we. Okay, now I don't hear the speakers. Yes, just a second. We're trying to fix the connection problems.. Dear moderator, where are we now in terms of technology? It feels like things went silent. Yes, now you came back. Maybe, Erik, can you repeat your last question so we can go back from there? Yeah, sure. It was on Germany. U.K. down 5.5%. You said Germany was worse. I asked if we could add any more color on Germany. How much is it down and how big is Germany in terms of Europe sales? Germany is our second biggest market. Of course, when we have a setting in a market like Germany, it impacts on the totals. Okay. Lastly, do you have any visibility on U.K. and Germany coming back? You're saying that you're seeing a gradual, I'd say, recovery in the U.K., but when can you be back to sort of normal levels or normal growth rates in those markets, do you think? Again, what is impacting in the U.K. is that the U.K. is a market where a substantial healthcare backlog is impacting hospital priorities. Already before the pandemic, there were 5.5 million patients in queue. That has increased to 8 million patients. The political priorities have started to reduce that queue, but still from a very high level. We will be fighting against hospital priorities from time to time. In the environment, we start to see that patients that have been waiting for surgeries where CERAMENT G is a good fit are gradually coming back. As Torbjörn said in the call, it will probably be a slow process for the market to return into a normal and steady situation. All right, thank you. I'll jump back in queue. The next question comes from Viktor Sundberg from Nordea. Please go ahead. Yes, thank you for taking my questions. I have two. I guess it's not your main product in the U.S., but I just wanted to dig into the CERAMENT BVF product in the U.S. a bit. We've seen a negative trend in the U.S. for that product here for a couple of quarters. I just wanted to understand a bit more what is driving that and how to extrapolate that negative growth we see at the moment into the coming quarters and into 2026. I have another question. Thanks. Again, I think that it's two. As you said, we've seen that the CERAMENT BVF has been soft in the latest quarters, but also that showing volatility with a few quarters where we have good CERAMENT BVF sales. We see that when we look at sales on hospital levels, there is an underlying volatility in the volumes used. What we also see, and this is important for the longer term, is that with the extending customer base and with surgeons recruited thanks to CERAMENT G, we also see these surgeons starting to use CERAMENT BVF in such cases where there is a controlled infection risk, etc. We remain with the belief that over time, CERAMENT BVF will stabilize and CERAMENT BVF will, like we've seen in Europe, deliver a small organic growth, but the main driver will be our antibiotic-eluting products. Okay, thanks. Just looking into 2026, if we see substantial cuts to Medicaid as part of the one Big Beautiful Bill Act, even if you're not particularly relying on Medicaid directly, I guess hospitals could see an increase in uncompensated care and maybe strained overall budgets due to this. What's your thinking around how hospitals will look at CERAMENT G as it carries bigger upfront costs? Our feedback, just by speaking to some orthopedic surgeons, is that price is the main barrier for wider adoption of CERAMENT G in the U.S. I'm just thinking that if major cuts to Medicaid will materialize in 2026, hospitals might focus even more on price next year. I just wanted to understand how you plan to mitigate some of those budget headwinds, I guess, for next year. Yeah, no, I'll start and then Håkan can fill in. I think the plan to mitigate that is just to follow the BONESUPPORT strategy where we focus on evidence. I think it was very interesting to listen in on what was discussed and presented at the European Bone and Joint Infection Society. It's very clear from those presentations and the discussions that are ongoing, and it's similar also at OTA that happened last week, which is a big trauma meeting in the U.S., that it's very clear that there is a paradigm shift in the market in orthopedics going from long systemic antibiotic regimes in orthopedic surgeries to move to shorter, if any, systemic antibiotic regimes and combining that with local antibiotics with, for example, CERAMENT G. That paradigm shift is happening. There is clear evidence already now on the market. The topic is clearly highlighted. More evidence will come in the future, partly by BONESUPPORT and the CERAMENT and partly because the market moves in this direction. I think it's nothing new, really. It's something that has been happening. It will continue. Our plan to address this is just to focus on the strategy, continue to build really, really strong clinical and health economic evidence, and make sure that that evidence is right and centered, not just in front of orthopedic surgeons, but also the other decision makers that play a role in those conversations. Anything to add, Håkan? No, I think that's covered quite well. The pricing is something we meet in as part of the go-stop go dynamics that we have referred to. We have hospitals that are becoming frequent users and hospital administration noticing as well that this drives a certain level of costs. In those discussions, when we come with strong clinical evidence and health economic evidence, these are discussions that we're able to handle part through. We're confident in the evidence around the technology and the difference to standard of care it represents. Thank you very much. The next question comes from Mattias Vadsten from SEB. Please go ahead. Hello, Torbjörn, Håkan. I have three questions. I think I'll take them one by one. First, I think quite confident wording around Q4, if I read it correctly. You want to reiterate guidance of at least 40% sales growth. This requires a quite strong finish to the year. I guess very close to 40% organic sales growth at least, and an acceleration quarter over quarter. Just what brings this confidence? If you have any further color on sort of how the start of Q4 have looked for you, that's the first question. Sure. I'll start with that more from a, let's say, tactical operational side, and then Håkan can hopefully back it up in the numbers. As we've reviewed both the U.S. business and as we've reviewed the Euro business in detail and the outlook for the quarter, the fundamentals look very strong from my view in terms of the number of accounts that we have, the penetration in the accounts, whether we are increasing penetration or losing penetration. I feel very confident in the numbers on an account level and regional level that we've gone through. I think also very high level, and Håkan will speak to this also, if you look at the comparables Q3 versus Q4, that also gives me more comfort in the numbers. I feel pretty confident in hitting that guidance that we've provided with 40% sales growth above prior year on a full year basis in constant currencies. Håkan? I think you cover this quite well, Torbjörn. To bear in mind, if we look at the U.S. dollar sales in U.S. dollars, for instance, in the U.S. Q3 to Q4 last year, Q4 was a bit soft after a strong Q3, then followed by a strong Q1, etc. With the momentum that we have, we believe that Q3 somehow gives us a lot of confirmations in that underlying momentum. We are confident that we... No, I can't hear Torbjörn Håkan anymore. Yes, just a second. We're trying to fix the issue here. I hope they will be back at us soon. Moderator, do you hear us now over the mobile line instead of over the internet? Yes, now I can hear you. Yes. Yeah, I can hear you, Håkan. I heard the full answer from Torbjörn, and I heard the first sentences from you, Håkan. What I've heard is that when we look at, for instance, the U.S. in U.S. dollars, last year, Q3 was strong and Q4 was a bit soft. With the underlying momentum we see in the U.S., we see good opportunities to be well in line with the target we have set for the full year. Okay, that's perfectly clear. Thank you. I have two more. The next one is the revision arthroplasty segment. I mean, as you said, quite supportive data, to say the least. What are the sales volumes of CERAMENT G in this segment today? Could you talk about what you think is required to achieve a meaningful uptake in this segment? Sure. I think it's fair to say that currently this is a segment where CERAMENT, it's been on label. It's been on label in the U.S. and it's been on label in Europe. At the same time, without clinical evidence, very few orthopedic surgeons will pick it up. That's just how orthopedics works. Over the last couple of years, the team has worked with Charité, which is, you know, I would argue, top three, top five hospitals in the world when it comes to revision arthroplasty. They've done a study, and to be frank, the results could not have been better. That's the first important step. To answer your question, our sales in this segment, I would argue, is very, very limited. There is some, but very limited. I think the potential, if we look at the number of procedures that are done in revision arthroplasty in general and specifically in periprosthetic joint infection, which is going to be our primary focus area, those are pretty considerable volume numbers that we have at hand. What is required is, of course, that we have a sales force that is in front of the customers that are in the ORs talking about this and that we promote the evidence and the application techniques that we already have today. Also, let's be frank, we will continue to invest in education. We will continue to invest in further evidence in this space. This is work that we've kicked off, and that's something that I foresee will continue for several years ahead because this is such an interesting and important segment for us strategically for many years. Very clear. I have a final one. I think it will be quite quick. If you take away the effects of incentive program and sales commission costs, the OpEx looks a bit low, I'd say. I know quite substantial OpEx effects year- on- year, but I think down $5 million versus Q2. The question is, is this just usual seasonality or is it anything you would mention here, Håkan? It primarily relates to normal seasonality. Outside the U.S., people tend to have vacation, and during a vacation period, there's a lower level of activities, etc. Yes, normal seasonality. Thank you very much. Thank you. The next question comes from Christopher Lilleberg from Carnegie. Please go ahead. Thank you. Three questions. First, just to follow up on the previous one on implant revision. Is this something you think will start to generate revenues for you already in 2026, or will that be later? On revision arthroplasty? Yes. I mean, it will generate revenue in Q4 this year, and it will for sure generate revenue in 2026. If it doesn't, then we do something fundamentally wrong. Do you think you could see a faster uptake in this indication than for open fracture trauma, for example? That's a really good question. I don't have any solid data points on that because of my somewhat limited history in BONESUPPORT. If you think about the segment and how surgeons generally work and how they take decisions, and you compare revision arthroplasty, which is an elective procedure, and trauma, and especially open trauma, which is acute trauma, so it's not an elective procedure, it's always easier to sell into a segment where you have elective procedures. Only looking at those sort of characteristics, you could argue that it should be easier and faster to enter revision arthroplasty than it is trauma. I think there's something in that that you're absolutely right on, but I have a hard time quantifying it, to be perfectly honest. Okay, thanks. I don't know whether we missed that due to the technical problems, but did you say anything about the expected launch timing for CERAMENT V in the U.S.? CERAMENT V in the U.S., we follow the plans. We deliver on the plans. The plans that were previously communicated were that we submit additional data to the FDA in November. That is according to plan. We feel comfortable that we have the right data in place and expect a positive outcome of that review with the FDA. Exactly when FDA will come with an answer, it's hard for us to predict. Typically, historically, what we've seen is that there's a 90-day period following the submission of the supplemental data until an FDA decision is taken. That's typically the guidance that we give on the CERAMENT V for the U.S. Great. Finally, just on R&D cost, should we expect that to be more stable now quarter over quarter or year- over- year before you start the CERAMENT G spine study? I think that's a fair comment. You've seen quite a solid, stable level over the last year, etc. It's a fair estimate to assume that that level continues. High activity level remains, but there is no true acceleration until we would start a clinical study preparing for getting CERAMENT G approved for spine. Great. Thank you very much. That's all for me. The next question comes from Sten Gustafsson from ABG Sundal Collier. Please go ahead. Yes, thank you. Good morning. I think most of it has been covered already, even though there were some technical issues. I just want to confirm that I heard it correctly. Did you say that you had CERAMENT G sales in the U.S. of, was it $19.9 million in the quarter? We did not confirm the dollar amount, but we say that we confirmed that the growth in constant currency is 59%. Okay. That's good. The number of procedures in the U.S. related to this hip joint infection category, did I hear it right? 70,000 or? The number of primary hip and knee arthroplasty, as per previously communicated data from BONESUPPORT, is estimated to 1.5 million. That's the number of primary arthroplasty. Revision arthroplasty is a smaller number, of course. The initial focus that we have on revision arthroplasty is the subsegment that is called periprosthetic joint infection. The previous numbers from BONESUPPORT that have been communicated related to the size of that segment is 70,000 for U.S. only. Those were the numbers that we referred to. We're not communicating any new numbers on this call compared to what's been communicated earlier. That was 17, one seven? No, 17. The 70,000, just for absolute clarity, those are revision arthroplasties with bone infection where a bone graft is needed. Okay. Excellent. Thank you. You're welcome. On NTAP finally, I heard it, I think correctly, that you expect that the trauma NTAP will be more challenging than when you got it initially on osteomyelitis, which makes perfect sense. Do you think that the net impact here short-term will be then a negative driver, or do you expect the underlying osteomyelitis procedures to carry on even though you don't have the NTAP on those particular procedures? I think that to clarify, I think when we were talking about what the market dynamics and the differences between some of them, there is a bone infection and in trauma. When we talk the value of the NTAP specifically, I think that it didn't show to not have so much impact in penetrating the market when there is a bone infection, etc. When we are talking trauma, open trauma, and the surgeon has the patient in front of him or her, there's always a consideration between risks and costs. Here, the NTAP is taking away the cost aspect. Potentially, the NTAP for open trauma has a bigger value. Again, it remains to be seen over time. It's been valid from October 1. That's after Q3, and we don't have the data to back that up. We honestly believe that it has the potential of having a bigger impact than for bone infection. Okay, thank you very much. The next question comes from Maria Vara from Stifel. Please go ahead. Good morning, and thank you for taking my questions. Just a couple of them. I think, you know, we, of course, see extremities as the near-term opportunity, what's going to be driving growth for the company for many years. I think we haven't dedicated much time to the opportunity in the spine during the Q&A session. I just wanted to maybe get some thoughts on how this recruitment of sales reps is going and any kind of guidance on contribution we could see from the first quarter launch as well as from 2026. Thank you. Yeah, no, good question. I think to put spine in perspective, spine is clearly a very interesting area for BONESUPPORT for the long- term. We also want to be realistic in the short term. We will likely see much bigger uptake from revision arthroplasty than we will see in spine. Spine is an important strategically and large opportunity for us. The approach that we take is that we first launch spine with CERAMENT BVF to build the market. We are going to have a relatively focused launch. We're not going to go fully and nationwide to all the accounts everywhere at the same time. We want to take a focused approach with certain distributors that we already work with, some new distributors that are specialized in spine. We want to make sure that we build the right clinical evidence and the right and validated surgical techniques over time. Of course, the big strategic play for us is to go into spine with CERAMENT G. That, of course, requires a market approval. We see a couple of good scenarios ahead of us. The question is not if, it's about how and when. That's why we engage with a discussion with FDA in the near term to make sure that we feel comfortable on the right way to market and that we are also able to execute on that. Okay, that's helpful. If we think about the profile of the sales commissions in the U.S., we see a little bit of an increase with respect to the U.S. revenue for Q3. If I'm not wrong, 35% with respect to the U.S. sales. How should we think about this percentage changing over time, especially as of the U.S. launch in spine? I mean, there's not much of an investment there, but still with something. If you can guide whether we could think about this same range with respect to revenue or any major changes here, it will be appreciated. Thank you, Maria. In the short to mid-term, you can expect the increase in Q3 is merely related to some short-term volatility. The commission level remains stable. There is no change in commission levels. There are a few performance-related aspects in the commission structure. That's why it can be some volatility between quarters. In general, it should keep itself among the commissions plus other fees that are involved around, I mean, between 34% and 35% over time. We don't see the inroads into spine with the CERAMENT BVF changing that structure. Okay, thank you so much. That's from my side. Thank you. The next question comes from Oscar Bergman from Redeye. Please go ahead. Hello, Torbjörn and Håkan. I know you've answered a lot of questions, but I only have a few more to you guys. First off, on your current base of U.S. CERAMENT G users, is there any noteworthy crossover to spine surgery among these? Very limited, I would say. Of course, we have hospital accounts where you have both surgeons on the extremity side and on the spine side. Yeah, it's very limited. As we've communicated, our strategy launching into spine will be very focused. We have a list of hospitals and a list of surgeons that we are addressing so that we reach the right surgeons to build additional clinical data and validation, etc., before we go wider. With that, we also work very focused with what distributors and what sales reps we're contracting. Okay. I'm just wondering if you can elaborate a bit more on the situation on eventual pushback on price, both for customers in the bone infection segment and in trauma. Has this been sort of a driver of customers either not signing up or perhaps even signing off during this quarter? Price is always a discussion. We're living in a commercial environment and so on. However, so far, it has had no impact in terms of listing and continued growth of listed hospitals. We meet that also, as I mentioned in the call, as part of Go Stop Go, we have hospitals where we have surgeons becoming frequent and high users. Not seldom, there is a reaction from hospital administration where we have them to involve with our med and health economic specialists to help explain the data that is backing up the price level and the savings that is enabled by the clinical and health economic benefits by using CERAMENT G. Of course, that's part of daily life. However, so far, we don't see a general pushback on price. Those efforts in training and education on the health economic benefits, they are holding back customers from perhaps, well, signing off then, essentially? As for now, that's also the reason why we're confident with the approach that we're using. That's why we also will continue to invest in additional med and health economic resources. All right, thanks. What can you say in terms of user rate at the existing customers? Are they at desirable levels in bone infection, or is there still plenty of room to grow on the existing number of CERAMENT G surgeons? From my perspective, what I see is that there's plenty of room to grow in current markets, in current products, in current clinical indications. I might be wrong on that, but all the data that I've seen so far after a couple of weeks indicate that we're just scratching the surface on these three main segments that we prioritize short term, which is foot and ankle, trauma, and revision arthroplasty. Of course, longer term, we're entering spine. I think there's plenty of room to grow going forward. All right. Just two more quick questions. I suspect you're in a hurry. The geographical reach in the U.S., are you at a good capacity already in the different key regions, or are there any initiatives that you will accelerate on? I mean, the U.S., as you well know, that's our most important market, both from a growth and profitability point of view. It has priority number one. I think we have good coverage, but that doesn't mean that we will not continue to invest. We're investing in Q3. We will continue to invest because if we're not investing, we're not taking advantage of the potential that we have. I don't think it's a coverage issue. It's about making sure we invest to address the potential we have in terms of increasing the penetration. Okay, there's no specific region in the U.S. where you feel like, okay, we should really focus on this specific region? I mean, when we look at the map, of course, we have certain regions where we think our penetration slash market share is lower, but that's not something that we disclose on this call. At a high level, we will continue to invest to make sure that we increase the penetration in the U.S., and certain regions have higher priority than others. Okay. Here's my final question. You are quickly accumulating a lot of cash, over SEK 220 million since Q3 last year. Will you perhaps present some sort of plan on how you aim to deploy this growing mountain of cash in your Capital Markets Day in the spring? I think that, as Torbjörn Sköld mentioned during the call, and sorry for all the technical breakouts, that's an area where we own the market, some clearer communication. The Capital Markets Day in springtime is a good opportunity to do that. In the shorter term, this gives us the comfort of continuing to invest in the business. We believe in the business. We think we do the right things. We see strong confirmations also in the Q3 report on the work that we're doing. The cash just helps us to continue investing in this. It gives us the freedom to operate in a way to take advantage of all of the opportunities that we see in the three priority segments plus spine, as well as on more longer-term strategic initiatives and scenarios that we, of course, also work on. More on that in the Capital Markets Day this spring. Unfortunately, now we have to close this call. We're coming to an end. Again, thank you all for attending. Also from our side, we apologize for the technical issues that you guys have experienced. We thank you for your patience with us. Thank you.
