With these required announcements completed, I will turn the call over to Pat Beyer, President and Chief Executive Officer, for opening remarks. Mr. Beyer. Thank you, Latif. Good afternoon, and thank you for joining us for CONMED's Second Quarter 2025 Earnings Call. With me on the call is Todd Garner, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. I'll provide a brief overview of the financial and operating performance for the second quarter, as well as an update on our priorities and our growth drivers. Todd will then provide a more detailed analysis of our financial performance and guidance, as well as our updated view on the impact of tariffs. We will then open the call to your questions. I'll start by quickly reviewing our second quarter results. Total sales for the quarter were $342.3 million, which came in slightly above the high end of our guidance range on year-over-year growth of 3.1% as reported and 2.9% in constant currency. Sales growth was driven by worldwide general surgery sales of 4.4%. Worldwide orthopedic sales grew 0.8% year- over- year. We are confident our supply chain initiatives can accelerate growth in orthopedics as well as move into 2026. We will discuss these initiatives in more detail later on in my prepared remarks. From an earnings perspective, excluding special items that affected comparability, our adjusted net income of $35.6 million increased 16.4% year- over- year and our adjusted diluted EPS of $1.15 increased 17.3% year- over- year. Importantly, we believe the work we are doing with our supply chain, the ongoing review of our portfolio, and the investments we're making behind our four key growth drivers support a mid-single-digit to high single-digit revenue growth profile for the business over the longer term. I will now discuss each of these topics, starting with our four key growth drivers: AirSeal, Buffalo Filter, BioBrace, and CONMED Foot & Ankle products. I'll begin with AirSeal. This platform remains the largest single contributor to our general surgery growth and is the primary driver of its 92% recurring revenue profile. We want to provide a more granular look at the potential of the platform here. With a little over a year now of experience with DV5 in the marketplace, we are seeing AirSeal being used in 10% - 20% of DV5 procedures. The procedures on XI continue to grow at a healthy level, and AirSeal is used in 35%- 40% of those procedures. For the purposes of this update, we are projecting that the AirSeal use in non-robotic procedures can grow between 10%- 15% annually over the next five years. If we apply those rates to the sell-side consensus of what the mix between DV5 and XI will be over the next five years, we project AirSeal procedures will grow in the high single digits to the low double digits over that period. We believe that the clinical benefits of AirSeal in complex procedures, continued XI placements, and growing adoption in laparoscopy will provide durable, healthy growth in this differentiated product line. Turning to Buffalo Filter, quarter two direct sales reflect another quarter of double-digit growth. Growth in Buffalo Filter is supported by legislative adoption, new product introductions, and deeper hospital protocols that protect caregivers from the harmful byproducts of surgical smoke. 19 U.S. states have enacted smoke-free operating room laws, with West Virginia, Virginia, and Minnesota taking effect in 2025. On July 1, North Carolina became the 19th state to enact such laws, with implementation required by January 1, 2026. Globally, we continue to see geographies around the world also enact legislation. We estimate the global smoke evacuation market is approximately $300 million today, with line-of-sight to $2 billion over the next several years. We also continue to drive innovation in this market. In the first half of 2025, we have launched PlumeSafe PX5, a smaller and quieter next-generation evacuator designed for ambulatory and outpatient settings. Moving on, sales for our orthopedic products grew in quarter two despite ongoing supply chain recovery work, which I will touch on shortly. Growth in the quarter was led by double-digit demand for BioBrace, our highly differentiated biologic implant designed for soft tissue repair and augmentation. BioBrace is now in clinical use across 52 distinct procedures, from rotator cuff and ACL repairs to Achilles and gluteus medius reconstructions, underscoring its versatility across sports medicine anatomies. In April, the FDA cleared a dedicated BioBrace surgery device for rotator cuff repair, BioBrace RC. Early surgeon feedback indicates the instrument streamlines workflow and improves reproducibility. Based on the strong feedback we received in the second quarter, we are moving into full market release in the United States. Importantly, hospital systems continue to prioritize minimally invasive surgery spend, and BioBrace aligns squarely with that trend. Our CONMED Foot & Ankle products delivered double-digit growth for the third consecutive quarter, reflecting the successful resolution of prior supply chain challenges. This sustained momentum is a direct result of the foundational work we completed last year to stabilize our operations and improve product availability. At CONMED, we're focused on building a stronger, more resilient operational foundation to support long-term growth and deliver exceptional value to our customers and stakeholders. A key priority is resolving our remaining supply chain challenges, particularly within sports medicine, and transforming this area into a competitive advantage. Looking ahead, our strategy here centers on three core objectives. First, stabilizing and scaling operations. We are implementing targeted improvements in procurement, planning, and production to enhance reliability and scalability. These efforts will allow us to better meet customer demand and support future growth. Two, driving efficiencies. We've engaged a top-tier consulting firm to help optimize our operations. This collaboration is expected to generate at least $20 million in annual savings while also accelerating our ability to execute with precision and agility. Three, building a high-performance supply chain. Our goal is to evolve our supply chain into a strategic asset, one that is agile, cost-effective, and capable of supporting innovation. We are focused on strengthening supplier relationships, improving inventory management, and leveraging data to drive smarter decision-making. We are confident that by the end of the year, we will be in a significantly improved position. The path forward is clear, and the opportunity to turn operations into a true engine of growth and value creation is well within our control. To support these initiatives, CONMED is committed to maintaining a strong balance sheet and reducing debt. We expect our leverage ratio to fall below 3.0 by the end of 2025, providing financial flexibility for future investments. In conclusion, we remain confident in our business fundamentals and long-term strategy. We are actively optimizing our portfolio towards higher margin, high growth opportunities to enhance shareholder returns. Thank you to our employees, partners, and stakeholders for your continued commitment and support. We look forward to updating you on our progress in the quarters ahead. With that, I'll turn the call over to Todd, who will provide a more detailed analysis of our quarter two financial performance and discuss our 2025 financial guidance, as well as quantifying our latest thinking on tariffs. Todd? Thank you, Pat. All sales growth numbers I referenced today will be given in constant currency. The reconciliation to GAAP numbers is included in our press release. As usual, we have included an investor deck on our website that summarizes the results of the quarter and our financial guidance. For the second quarter of 2025, our total sales increased 2.9% year- over- year. For Q2, our sales in the U.S. increased 2.8% versus the prior year quarter, and our international sales grew 2.9%. Total worldwide orthopedics sales grew 0.8% in the second quarter. In the U.S., orthopedic sales decreased to 0.8%, and internationally, orthopedic sales increased 1.8%. Total worldwide general surgery sales increased 4.4% in the quarter. U.S. general surgery sales grew 4.3%, while internationally, general surgery sales increased 4.7%. Now let's move to the expense side of the income statement. We will discuss expenses and profitability in the second quarter, excluding special items, which are detailed in our press release. Adjusted gross margin for the second quarter was 56.5%, which is 120 basis points higher than the prior year quarter and consistent with our expectations. We continue to make progress on back order with the numbers headed in the right direction. Research and development expense for the second quarter was 4.1% of sales, 10 basis points lower than the prior year quarter. Second quarter adjusted SG&A expenses were 37.1% of sales, 20 basis points higher than the prior year. On an adjusted basis, interest expense was $6.4 million in the second quarter. The adjusted effective tax rate in Q2 was 24.8%. Second quarter GAAP net income was $21.4 million compared to $30.0 million in 2024. GAAP earnings per diluted share were $0.69 this quarter compared to $0.96 a year ago. Excluding the impact of special items discussed earlier, in the second quarter, we reported adjusted net income of $35.6 million, an increase of 16.4% compared to the second quarter of 2024. Our Q2 adjusted diluted net earnings per share were $1.15, an increase of 17.3% compared to the prior year quarter. Turning to the balance sheet, our cash balance at June 30th was $33.9 million compared to $35.5 million at March 31. Accounts receivable days as of June 30th were 62 days, no change from the end of Q1. Inventory days at June 30th were 212, which is 10 days lower than March 31. Long-term debt at the end of the quarter was $881.1 million compared to $891.4 million at March 31st. Our leverage ratio on June 30th was 3.1x, which was a little better than expected. Cash flow provided from operations in the quarter was $29.1 million compared to $43.3 million in the second quarter of 2024. Capital expenditures in the second quarter were $5.7 million compared to $3.6 million a year ago. Now let's turn to financial guidance. Let's start with revenue. We are updating our full-year reported revenue guidance to a range of $1.356 billion- $1.378 billion, which is a narrowing from the prior range of $1.350 billion - $1.378 billion. FX is now projected to be essentially neutral for the full year 2025. We expect Q3 reported revenue to be between $330 million and $337 million, with about 50 basis points of tailwind from FX. Last quarter, we talked about margin and EPS guidance without tariffs and then gave specific disclosure on the expected tariff impact on 2025 by quarter. With the first six months of the year behind us and our cost of goods sold being deferred with inventory for six months, we now know the tariff impact on 2025, which is $0.02 in Q3 and $0.07 in Q4. That is now incorporated in our guidance. We told you back in January to expect gross margins in 2025 to be similar to 2024. That was without any additional tariffs. We continue to expect 2025 gross margins to be similar to 2024. While digesting the additional tariffs, currency has ameliorated somewhat. The FX impact on gross margins is still a headwind, but better than the original estimate of 50 basis points. We told you a quarter ago to expect margins in Q2 to be in the mid-56% range, Q3 in the mid-55% range, and Q4 approaching 57%, which was without tariffs. Including our tariff disclosure from the same call, that translated to Q4 guidance in the mid-55% range. We continue to see the year playing out that way. Turning to EPS, we started the year guiding adjusted EPS between $4.25 and $4.40, with currency headwind between $0.15 and $0.20. The organic constant currency guide without additional tariffs was $4.45- $4.55 at the beginning of the year. That organic constant currency guidance without tariffs is now increased to $4.59 - $4.74. We now expect currency to be a headwind of approximately $0.10 and tariffs to be approximately $0.09, resulting in reported adjusted EPS between $4.40 and $4.55, which is $0.09 better on both ends than our guidance last quarter, inclusive of tariffs. Our guidance slide in the investor deck shows the apples-to-apples comparison of our prior guidance and today's guidance. Specific to Q3, we expect adjusted EPS to be between $1.03 and $1.08. In summary, we are overperforming in profitability, and our leverage is lower than projected halfway through the year. We remain focused on our growth drivers to improve our execution and get back to above-market revenue growth consistently. With that, we'd like to open the call to your questions. As a reminder, to ask a question, you will need to press star one one on your telephone. To remove yourself from the queue, you may press star one one again. You will be limited to one question and one follow-up. Please stand by while we compile the Q&A roster. Our first question comes from the line of Joseph of Needham & Company. Please go ahead, Joseph. Hi, this is Joseph on for Mike. Maybe just starting with Buffalo Filter, was just wondering if you guys have seen any increased competition or pressure in the market, just given all the legislative tailwinds, if you've seen them, any large players out there. Joseph, we have not seen any new players other than the ones we continue to compete with. The market continues to grow. You know, we announced the 19th state in the United States just passed legislation, North Carolina, but the competition remains the same. Okay, that's helpful. I guess, you know, maybe just a concern around where your capacity is at, supply chain restraints, and where is that kind of going together with Salesforce expansion. I know you guys usually talk about Salesforce expansion maybe around the beginning of the year. I'm not sure if you guys have talked about it in 2025 yet. It's just kind of curious your view on that. Let me have both questions. Let's start with getting our supply chain fixed and back on offense there. We're making progress. We made progress in the first half. Again, we're focused on planning, production, and procurement. We finished quarter two with lower back order and lower SKUs on back order and expect to be finishing 2025 in a much better position. From a standpoint of adding sales professionals, we typically add them in the second half to be ready to kick off a new year with an expanded sales force. To be honest, we typically add sales reps dynamically throughout the year. As we lose sales professionals where we have opportunities, we continue to add them where the sales territory becomes open. When new products are expanding and moving throughout the year, we add sales professionals where it makes sense, be that the geography has the opportunity to do them. We will continue to add sales professionals as our business grows. Hi, this is Lilia-Celine Breton Lozada on for Robbie Marcus. Thanks for taking the question. Maybe I'll start with capital. That came in a bit softer than what we were thinking. Can you talk a bit to the trends that you're seeing there? Is there any impact that you've seen in the quarter or that you're expecting moving forward from tighter hospital budgets? Good question. Let me start with we're not seeing, in general, the slowdown from hospitals. The capital market continues to be what it has been. When we look at our specific capital comparables versus prior year, you're probably seeing three things. Number one, in 2024, there was a competitive recall in the insufflation market, and we saw our numbers were probably more robust than they normally would have been in that period. We also had a number of new distributors on the international side in 2024 that started up. You saw a higher capital flow last year on that. Our supply chain has also impacted our capital flow a little bit this year. All in all, one side, capital demand from hospitals continues to be strong. We had some tough comparables, and our supply chain is challenging our current capital mobility to sell. Outside of that, we continue to have a capital portfolio we're proud of and expect capital to continue to have the same trends going forward as it has in prior years. Got it. That's helpful. As a follow-up, can you talk a bit about how you're feeling generally about your share position in ortho in light of these supply constraints? To what extent do you think that any share loss that you may have seen has been sticky, just given it's been a few quarters of disruption? How would you characterize your share position evolving over the last few months? Sorry. Thank you. From a pure numbers standpoint, you know, we're not taking the share that we would like, and we know that our growth is lower than the actual market growth. From a pure numbers standpoint, we've lost market share. The good news is, with a platform like BioBrace, we're still driving forward, and we're on offense there. We're continuing to be seen as an innovative orthopedic company globally. Our sales professionals continue to be in operating rooms solving clinical issues, and our sales forces are continuing to be ready to get on offense when our supply chain challenges mitigate over at the second half of the year. On one hand, we have lost market share this year. The numbers say that. On the other side, our innovation from new products continues to roll out, and our BioBrace platform continues to put us in a good position going forward. Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Anna of Piper Sandler. Please go ahead, Anna. Hi there. This is Anna on for Matt. Thanks for taking the questions. I just wanted to ask on the guide here, you guys beat on revenues, but are only raising the bottom end of the guide, especially when considering FX improvements. Could you just help us understand the perspective maybe on the next two quarters as it relates to the top line? Yes. Thanks, Anna. We've delivered the first half pretty much in line with what we thought. As we look at the back half, our guidance today shows a little bit, you know, we expect a gradual improvement in the growth rate. As Pat said, we don't expect the same kind of capital headwinds in the back half that we had in the front half. We see kind of gradual, hopefully steady improvement as we work through the rest of the year. That led us to provide the guidance we did today, which is keeping the reported range the same, even though to your point, you're absolutely correct that currency did get a little easier. Brought the bottom end up, kept the top end the same, and that's how we're going to move into the back half. Got it. On EPS, you raised the guide there. Is that primarily just due to margin improvements or more so on the FX tariff side of things? If you look at the $0.09 raise from what we said a quarter ago, about $0.03 is from FX, about $0.03 is from tariffs, and about $0.03 is from performance and operations. It's kind of all three of those add up to $0.09. Great. Thank you. Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Young Li of Jefferies. Please go ahead, Young. All right. Great. Thanks for taking those questions. I guess to start, maybe just on the new AirSeal disclosures, wondering if you can put that in a perspective a little bit. I think the XI attachment rate is 35% to 40%. How did that change vs. before the introduction of DV5? That's been trending up really over the last decade. It was, you know, we talked about it being about a third of procedures a few years ago. It was closer to 35%. Now we're north of 35%. That's just been a very consistent increased adoption and usage rate that we've seen with robotics and AirSeal. All right. Great. Just, you know, following up on the DV5 comments, 10%- 20% utilization. I'm kind of curious what type of procedures typically are, I guess, are these procedures being used because the DV5 system doesn't have their own insufflation products on it, or is it being used because of, you know, more complex procedures and the clinicians are choosing AirSeal for those types of procedures on DV5? Yeah. Young, it's the latter. Just to, you know, maybe remind you, DV5 has an integrated insufflator that's supplied with the robot. The more complex procedures where the surgeon understands the benefit of single-digit low-pressure insufflation will improve patient outcomes through less pain and shorter length of stay. Those procedures, such as a laparoscopic prostatectomy, the surgeon is actually asking the hospital to have the AirSeal brought into the procedure. We're seeing between 10% - 20% of the DV5 procedures are actually the surgeon is saying, "I want to use single-digit low-pressure AirSeal for those procedures." It's worth, you know, we're a little over a year out now with DV5 in the marketplace. We're learning more every day, and this is an opportunity for us to update you on what we're seeing real time. Thank you. I would now like to turn the conference back to Pat Beyer for closing remarks, sir. Thank you. I would like to reiterate what we said. We feel really strong about our growth outlook going forward. We're excited to get off of back order in the second half of the year and move on offense on our orthopedic side. We're thankful to be able to have four strong growth drivers in our portfolio and excited about the team CONMED has to deliver aggregate growth for our shareholders in the future. Thank you, everybody, for joining us on the call. This concludes today's conference call. Thank you for participating. You may now disconnect.
