Peer-reviewed publication reinforces efzofitimod’s differentiated profile and potential to advance pulmonary sarcoidosis care.

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —  aTyr Pharma, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATYR) (“aTyr” or the “Company”), a clinical stage biotechnology company engaged in the discovery and development of first-in-class medicines from its proprietary tRNA synthetase platform, today announced the publication of results from the Phase 3 EFZO-FIT™ study of its lead therapeutic candidate, efzofitimod, in patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis, a major form of interstitial lung disease, in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine. The publication, entitled, “Efzofitimod versus placebo in patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis (EFZO-FIT): a multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial,” is available on the journal’s website and at: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanres/article/PIIS2213-2600(26)00283-3/abstract.

EFZO-FIT™ was a global Phase 3 interventional study in 268 patients with moderate to severe pulmonary sarcoidosis that was designed to address patient and physician needs by investigating the impact of efzofitimod on steroid reduction and key patient-reported outcomes (PROs) through a protocol guided steroid taper.

The trial demonstrated that a large proportion of all patients in the study could be managed with substantially lower doses of steroids for the duration of the intervention. While treatment with efzofitimod did not result in a statistically significant steroid reduction compared to placebo, it did improve multiple PRO measures, which are priority outcomes for patients with sarcoidosis, and was generally well-tolerated.

“The findings from this largest interventional, randomized, controlled trial ever conducted in pulmonary sarcoidosis represent an important advancement in our understanding of how patients can be appropriately managed with steroids and is likely to lead to a paradigm shift in the way that we treat sarcoidosis patients and evaluate new therapies for this patient population in the future,” said Daniel Culver, D.O., Chair of the Division of Pulmonary Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic and lead author of the publication. “There is an urgent need for safe, effective and tolerable treatments for sarcoidosis that have a positive impact on patient quality of life. The study not only demonstrated that a large reduction of steroids was possible in all patients in the study, but remarkably, efzofitimod improved multiple PRO measures, including those specific to sarcoidosis, and warrants further investigation in this patient population.”

“Publication of the EFZO-FIT™ results strengthens the evidence supporting efzofitimod and brings greater visibility to its differentiated clinical profile,” said Sanjay S. Shukla, M.D., M.S., President and Chief Executive Officer of aTyr Pharma. “The improvements across multiple PROs, together with preserved lung function and a favorable safety profile, reinforce our confidence in efzofitimod’s potential and provide a strong foundation for its continued development in pulmonary sarcoidosis.”

About the EFZO-FIT™ Study

EFZO-FIT™ was a global Phase 3 interventional study in 268 patients with moderate to severe pulmonary sarcoidosis that compared the efficacy and safety of efzofitimod at 3.0 mg/kg and 5.0 mg/kg doses versus placebo after 48 weeks of treatment, which included a protocol guided steroid taper in the first 12 weeks of the study, followed by continued taper or rescue until week 48. While the study did not meet its primary endpoint of change from baseline in mean daily oral corticosteroid dose at week 48, clinical benefit for 5.0 mg/kg efzofitimod was observed across multiple pre-specified PROs at week 48 compared to placebo, including the King’s Sarcoidosis Questionnaire (KSQ)-Lung score, Fatigue Assessment Scale score, KSQ-General Health score, and complete steroid withdrawal with KSQ-Lung score improvement. Additionally, treatment with efzofitimod maintained lung function as measured by forced vital capacity and was well-tolerated with a safety profile consistent with prior trials conducted to date.

About Pulmonary Sarcoidosis

Pulmonary sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease characterized by the formulation of granulomas, clumps of inflammatory cells, in one or more organs of the body. Approximately 160,000 Americans are diagnosed with pulmonary sarcoidosis and the prognosis ranges from benign and self-limiting to chronic, debilitating disease, permanent loss of lung function and death. Current treatment options include corticosteroids and other immunosuppressive therapies, which have limited efficacy and are associated with serious side-effects that many patients cannot tolerate long-term.

About Efzofitimod

Efzofitimod is a novel biologic immunomodulator in clinical development for the treatment of interstitial lung disease (ILD), a group of immune-mediated disorders that can cause inflammation and fibrosis, or scarring, of the lungs. Efzofitimod is a tRNA synthetase derived therapy that selectively modulates activated myeloid cells through neuropilin-2 to resolve inflammation without immune suppression and potentially prevent the progression of fibrosis. Efzofitimod is currently being investigated in the Phase 2 EFZO-CONNECT™ study in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc, or scleroderma)-related ILD,   and aTyr recently initiated study-related activities for a global Phase 3 study of efzofitimod in patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis, a major form of ILD. These forms of ILD have limited therapeutic options and there is a need for safer and more effective, disease-modifying treatments that improve outcomes.

About aTyr

aTyr is a clinical stage biotechnology company leveraging evolutionary intelligence to translate tRNA synthetase biology into new therapies for fibrosis and inflammation. tRNA synthetases are ancient, essential proteins that have evolved novel domains that regulate diverse pathways extracellularly in humans. aTyr’s discovery platform is focused on unlocking hidden therapeutic intervention points by uncovering signaling pathways driven by its proprietary library of domains derived from all 20 tRNA synthetases. aTyr’s lead therapeutic candidate is efzofitimod, a novel biologic immunomodulator in clinical development for the treatment of interstitial lung disease, a group of immune-mediated disorders that can cause inflammation and progressive fibrosis, or scarring, of the lungs.

Creating a Proof of Concept for R3ALM’s Tokenization Business Model

  • STRATEGIC INVESTMENT OPTION INTO COIN AGE ENTERTAINMENT
  • STRATEGIC INVESTMENT OPTION INTO BLOODLINE KILLERS 2
  • STRATEGIC INVESTMENT OPTION INTO FINAL STAY MOVIE TOKEN
  • DEVELOPED NEW ECOMMERCE PLATFORM ADVANCING R3ALM INTO FILM PRODUCTION AND AI-POWERED COMMERCE COMPLETE WITH DIGITAL CURRENCY

BOSTON, MA, Oct. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Vystar Corporation (OTCQB: VYST) today announced that it has purchased an option in Coin Age Entertainment, Inc., allowing for the acquisition of up to a 20% equity interest at an agreed company valuation of $2.5 million. This investment into film production and AI-Powered commerce creates a Proof of Concept for R3ALM’s Tokenization Business Model, Stated Jamie Rotman CEO of Vystar.

Vystar has partnered with Coin Age Entertainment to implement a first of its kind Token for movies and AI-Powered ecommerce platform. FSMT (Final Stay Movie Token) is currently trading at a 4X appreciation with approximately a $2 million market cap.

Alongside the investment, Vystar, and some of its larger shareholders and Coin Age Entertainment have signed a separate commercial option agreement covering the motion picture Bloodline Killers 2. This is a unique opportunity backed by refundable film and television state tax credits.

Vystar was happy to offer a percentage of its allocation to some of its bigger shareholders and hopes to continue to do so with future projects. It allows Vystar to deploy larger investment capital, without constraining cash flow or raising equity dollars, Stated Jamie Rotman, CEO of Vystar

The investment follows Vystar’s acquisition of a 50% interest in R3ALM, Inc. It is the company’s next step in moving R3ALM’s technology from development to commercial use.

From Concept to Commercial Application

Through Coin Age, Vystar intends to demonstrate how R3ALM’s artificial intelligence and commercial infrastructure can support each stage of a film’s life: creative development, financing support, marketing, merchandising, distribution and audience engagement.

R3ALM is not building a collection of separate tools. Its aim is a single platform that can serve one production after another, and many entertainment companies at once. One of Vystar’s partners and Coin Age’s principals, currently has a three-year co-financing deal with a major studio and has completed over 70 films, including National Lampoons Christmas Vacation where he was CEO and Chairman.

The strategy is straightforward: build a working commercial model, prove its value, and offer that model to the wider entertainment industry, Stated Jamie Rotman CEO of Vystar.

A Platform Built for Repeated Use

Every film needs financing, marketing, merchandise, distribution and intellectual property services. Those needs recur with each new production.

R3ALM intends to meet them through one common technology base, supported by its A.E.G.I.S. governed-intelligence architecture.

The opportunity is not limited to sharing in a film’s box office success. It includes steady revenue from services provided over the life of each production, repeated across many projects.

Vystar’s stake in Coin Age and its ownership interest in R3ALM give the company two sources of potential return: investment gains from entertainment, and service revenue from technology.

The objective is not simply to finance or promote movies. It is to build a business that serves the companies making them.

Vystar will provide further updates on the contracts specifics and as R3ALM’s commercial applications are developed and put into use into film and other industries. These include; Token and Social Media Websites, Artist and/or Movie ticketing packages, fan experiences, travel packages, mobile fan club, merchandise, One of a Kind, Collectibles and Memorabilia, advertising and sponsorship activities.

Fourth quarter operating income of $1.4 million and Operating EBITDA of $1.9 million; revenue up 22% year-over-year to $22.7 million

Hauppauge, NY, Oct. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — – Cemtrex, Inc. (Nasdaq: CETX, CETXP) today reported preliminary, unaudited results for the fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2026. Final results will be reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Key Highlights

  • Fourth quarter revenue increased 22% year-over-year to $22.7 million, and 23% sequentially from Q3. Fiscal 2026 revenue was $75.3 million, compared to $76.5 million in fiscal 2025, which included a single $10.4 million Security technology sale.
  • Fourth quarter gross margin was 46.3%, compared to 38.0% in the prior-year fourth quarter and 41.7% in Q3.
  • Fourth quarter operating income was $1.4 million, compared to operating losses of $1.2 million in both the prior-year fourth quarter and Q3, and includes a $0.5 million non-cash gain from the release of contingent consideration related to the Plant Engineering Services acquisition. Fiscal 2026 operating loss was $4.8 million, compared to operating income of $0.5 million in fiscal 2025.
  • Fourth quarter Operating EBITDA was $1.9 million, compared to a loss of $0.6 million in Q3 and a loss of $0.8 million in the prior-year fourth quarter. Fiscal 2026 Operating EBITDA was a loss of $2.8 million, compared to $1.9 million in fiscal 2025. Operating EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure defined and reconciled below.
  • Completed three acquisitions during fiscal 2026: Invocon (January), Richland Industrial, now AIS Tennessee (February), and Plant Engineering Services (July). An additional Industrial Services acquisition is under letter of intent.
  • At September 30, 2026, stockholders’ equity was $35.7 million, compared to $8.7 million a year earlier; working capital was $10.6 million, compared to $5.2 million; and warrant liabilities were $2.8 million, compared to $8.7 million.

Management Commentary

Cemtrex Chairman and CEO, Saagar Govil, commented on the results:

“The fourth quarter continued the sequential improvement we have reported through the year. Operating results moved from an operating loss of $2.8 million in the first quarter to operating income of $1.4 million in the fourth, with revenue up 22% year-over-year and gross margin of 46%. The Security segment, now operating on the cost base established in January, was the largest contributor.

Fiscal 2026 was a year of building the platform. We completed three acquisitions, established the Aerospace & Defense segment, grew Industrial Services revenue 11%, and restructured the Security business from a $4.4 million operating loss in the first half of the year to $2.0 million of operating income in the second half. Cost optimization at AIS Tennessee, which is expected to conclude in fiscal 2027, and the milestone-driven timing of Invocon’s revenue weighed on results in the fourth quarter, as we have discussed in prior periods. We remain under letter of intent on an additional Industrial Services acquisition.”

Segment Results

Security. Fourth quarter revenue was $10.8 million, an increase of 28% from the prior-year fourth quarter and 71% sequentially from Q3, with gross margin of 53% and segment operating income of $2.3 million, compared to a segment operating loss of $0.3 million in Q3. Results include approximately $0.8 million of tariff refunds recognized during the quarter; excluding the refunds, segment operating income was approximately $1.5 million. For fiscal 2026, Security revenue was $28.3 million and the segment operating loss was $2.3 million, consisting of a $4.4 million loss in the first half of the year and $2.0 million of operating income in the second half.

Industrial Services. Fourth quarter revenue was $10.8 million, an increase of 6% year-over-year, with gross margin of 35% and segment operating income of $0.2 million, compared to a segment operating loss of $0.7 million in Q3. Plant Engineering Services, acquired July 1, 2026, contributed $1.2 million of revenue in its first quarter at approximately breakeven. AIS Tennessee incurred an operating loss of approximately $0.9 million in the quarter; cost optimization at the operation has been underway and is expected to conclude in fiscal 2027. The $0.5 million release of contingent consideration related to the Plant Engineering Services acquisition is not included in Industrial Services segment operating income and is shown as a separate line in the segment table below. For fiscal 2026, Industrial Services revenue increased 11% to $42.4 million and segment operating income was $1.6 million.

Aerospace & Defense. Fourth quarter revenue was $1.1 million with a segment operating loss of $0.2 million, compared to revenue of $2.2 million and segment operating income of $1.0 million in Q3, reflecting the timing of program milestones following a milestone-heavy third quarter. From the January 8, 2026 acquisition date through September 30, 2026, the segment generated $4.5 million of revenue and $0.4 million of segment operating income, with .4 million of amortization costs included.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure: Operating EBITDA

The Company presents Operating EBITDA as a primary measure of operating performance. Operating EBITDA is defined as operating income (loss) before depreciation and amortization. Management believes this measure reflects the performance of the Company’s operating businesses without the effects of financing activities and other non-operating items, and provides investors with a consistent basis for evaluating operating trends across periods. Operating EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, operating income (loss), net income (loss), or other measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following table reconciles Operating EBITDA to operating income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure:

  Q4 FY2026 Q4 FY2025 Q3 FY2026 FY2026 FY2025
Operating income (loss) $ 1,358,863 $ (1,183,161 ) $ (1,193,142 ) $ (4,812,476 ) $ 509,826
Depreciation and amortization   577,672   394,608     581,651     1,998,469     1,355,538
Operating EBITDA $ 1,936,535 $ (788,553 ) $ (611,491 ) $ (2,814,007 ) $ 1,865,364

Additional details will be available in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Preliminary Results

The financial results in this release are preliminary, unaudited, and based on information available to management as of the date of this release.

New AI Usage Consent Module supports varying state disclosure and consent requirements, helping enterprises adopt AI in hiring with greater confidence across the United States

NEW YORK, Oct. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Fusemachines Inc. (NASDAQ: FUSE) (“Fusemachines” or the “Company”), a leading provider of enterprise AI products and services, today announced the rollout of compliance features in HireFoundry.ai, including a new AI Usage Consent Module designed to help enterprises navigate evolving state requirements for AI use in hiring. The features bring candidate disclosures, adaptable consent workflows and controls over AI participation into the interview experience, helping reduce compliance complexity for enterprises hiring across all 50 states.

As states introduce and revise rules governing AI in employment, enterprises face a growing patchwork of requirements around candidate notification, consent and the collection and analysis of interview data. Employers cannot rely on a single nationwide consent standard that resolves every hiring use case. Requirements differ by jurisdiction, the technology used and its role in the hiring process, creating a challenging legal and operational landscape for organizations recruiting across state lines.

HireFoundry.ai’s AI Usage Consent Module helps enterprises address these differences through a unified workflow that supports varying levels of disclosure and consent based on applicable state requirements and employer policies. The module is designed to help organizations explain AI’s role, obtain candidate consent before Interview Agent participates and honor a candidate’s decision to proceed without it.

“Enterprises should be able to focus on finding the right talent without having to build a separate AI consent process for every state where they hire,” said Giovanni Lemus, Vice President of Product at Fusemachines. “We are bringing adaptable disclosure and consent workflows into HireFoundry.ai to reduce that operational burden, strengthen compliance practices and give employers greater confidence as they adopt AI across their hiring operations.”

Candidates enter through a company-branded page explaining Interview Agent’s participation and presenting the applicable disclosures and consent choices. If a candidate declines, the interview continues directly with the recruiter, and Interview Agent does not join, listen to, transcribe or analyze the call.

The module is part of Fusemachines’ broader rollout of features that support responsible AI use in hiring, including candidate-facing transparency, explicit opt-in controls and recruiter oversight. Together, these capabilities help enterprises establish a consistent approach to AI-assisted interviews while accommodating differences in applicable requirements.

“Candidate choice needs to control what the technology actually does,” said Anish Joshi, Head of Technology at Fusemachines. “With Interview Agent, declining consent means the agent does not participate in the interview. By connecting disclosures and consent directly to AI participation, we help enterprises put their governance policies into practice while preserving a natural conversation between recruiters and candidates.”

When candidates opt in, Interview Agent uses their answers, role requirements and company context to recommend follow-up questions in real time. Recruiters can explore competencies and clarify incomplete answers while candidates are still present to respond. Recruiters choose what to ask and remain responsible for candidate assessments and hiring decisions.

By embedding these safeguards into the hiring workflow, HireFoundry.ai helps enterprises strengthen compliance and reduce the administrative burden of adopting AI nationwide. The features support employers’ broader compliance programs; applicable obligations may also include privacy protections, nondiscrimination requirements, audits and other safeguards beyond consent.

PLANO, Texas, Oct. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Integer Holdings Corporation (NYSE:ITGR) today announced results for the three months ended October 2, 2026.

Third Quarter 2026 Highlights (compared to Third Quarter 2025, except as noted)

  • Sales decreased 3.9% to $450 million. Organic sales decreased 2.2%.
  • GAAP operating income from continuing operations totaled $28 million, a decrease of $28 million or 50%. Non-GAAP adjusted operating income totaled $66 million, a decrease of $20 million or 23%.
  • GAAP income from continuing operations totaled $15 million, a decrease of $25 million or 62%. Non-GAAP adjusted net income totaled $46 million, a decrease of $17 million or 27%.
  • GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations totaled $0.43, a decrease of $0.68 or 61%. Non-GAAP adjusted EPS totaled $1.34, a decrease of $0.45 or 25%.
  • Adjusted EBITDA  totaled $88 million, a decrease of $18 million or 17%.
  • From the end of 2025, total debt increased $34 million to $1.219 billion and Non-GAAP net total debt increased $33 million to $1.223 billion, resulting in a leverage ratio of 3.3 times adjusted EBITDA as of October 2, 2026.

As previously announced, given Integer’s pending acquisition by an affiliate of investment funds managed by KKR (the “Transaction”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 2, 2026, by and among Integer, Armstrong Parent, Inc. (“Parent”), and Armstrong Bidco, Inc. (the “Merger Agreement”), the Company is not providing a financial outlook and will not host a conference call to discuss its third quarter 2026 financial results. On September 29, 2026, the Company received early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and on October 21, 2026, Integer’s stockholders approved the adoption of the Merger Agreement. The Transaction is anticipated to close by the end of 2026, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the remaining customary closing conditions specified in the Merger Agreement, including receipt of required regulatory approvals.

Discussion of Product Line Third Quarter 2026 Sales

  • Cardio & Vascular sales decreased 5% to $263 million in the third quarter 2026 compared to the third quarter 2025, reflecting the previously communicated impact from the two new Electrophysiology products.
  • Cardiac Rhythm Management & Neuromodulation sales increased 4% to $176 million in the third quarter 2026 compared to the third quarter 2025. Growth was partially offset by the previously communicated impact from the one new Neuromodulation product.
  • Other Markets sales totaled $11 million in the third quarter 2026, compared to $21 million in the third quarter 2025, primarily due to the Portable Medical exit.

Notes Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to our results reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), we provide adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, and organic sales change. Unless otherwise indicated, all financial metrics presented reflect continuing operations only.

Adjusted net income and adjusted EPS consist of GAAP income (loss) from continuing operations and diluted EPS from continuing operations, respectively, adjusted for the following to the extent occurring during the period: (i) amortization of intangible assets, (ii) certain legal expenses; (iii) restructuring and restructuring-related charges; (iv) acquisition and integration costs; (v) other general expenses; (vi) ERP implementation, (vii) (gain) loss on equity investments; (viii) extinguishment of debt charges, (ix) debt conversion inducement expense; (x) European Union medical device regulation incremental charges; (xi) inventory step-up amortization; (xii) unusual, or infrequently occurring items; (xiii) the income tax provision (benefit) related to these adjustments and (xiv) certain tax items that are outside the normal tax provision for the period. Adjusted EPS is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by adjusted weighted average shares.

The weighted average shares used to calculate diluted EPS in accordance with GAAP includes dilution, when applicable, resulting from the potential conversion of our 2028 Convertible Notes and 2030 Convertible Notes (collectively, the “Convertible Notes”).  In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, we entered into capped call contracts which are expected to reduce the potential dilution on our common stock in connection with any conversion of the Convertible Notes, subject to a cap.  Adjusted weighted average shares consists of GAAP weighted average shares used to calculate diluted EPS, including, when applicable, dilutive common stock equivalents that were excluded from weighted average shares used to calculate diluted EPS as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive and excluding, when applicable, dilution resulting from the potential conversion of our Convertible Notes expected to be offset by the capped call contracts.

EBITDA is calculated by adding back interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation expense, and amortization expense from intangible assets and financing leases, to income (loss) from continuing operations, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA plus adding back stock-based compensation and the same adjustments as listed above except for items (i), (viii), (xiii) and (xiv). Adjusted operating income consists of operating income adjusted for the same items listed above except for items (vii), (viii), (ix), (xiii) and (xiv).

Organic sales change is reported sales growth adjusted to remove the impact of foreign currency, the contribution of acquisitions and the strategic exit of the Portable Medical market. To calculate the impact of foreign currency on sales growth rates, we convert any sale made in a foreign currency by converting current period sales into prior period sales using the exchange rate in effect at that time and then compare the two, negating any effect foreign currency had on our transactional revenue. For contribution of acquisitions, we exclude the impact on the growth rate attributable to the contribution of acquisitions in all periods where there were no comparable sales. For the strategic exit of the Portable Medical market, we exclude the impact on the growth rate attributable to Portable Medical sales for all periods presented.

We believe that the presentation of adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, and organic sales change, provides important supplemental information to management and investors seeking to understand the financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. In addition to the performance measures identified above, we believe that net total debt and leverage ratio provide meaningful measures of liquidity and a useful basis for assessing our ability to fund our activities, including the financing of acquisitions and debt repayments. Net total debt is calculated as total principal amount of debt outstanding less cash and cash equivalents. We calculate leverage ratio as net total debt divided by adjusted EBITDA for the trailing 4 quarters.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Some of the statements contained in this communication and other written and oral statements made from time to time by us and our representatives are not statements of historical or current fact. As such, they are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and are subject to the safe harbor created thereby under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations, and these statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements relating to: the completion of the Transaction on anticipated terms and timing, or at all, including obtaining regulatory approvals and satisfying other conditions to the completion of the Transaction; potential litigation relating to the Transaction that has been or could be instituted against the parties to the Merger Agreement, or their respective directors, managers, or officers, including the effects of any outcomes related thereto; our goals, plans, and strategic initiatives; long-term growth prospects; maximizing value for our stockholders; other events, conditions or developments that will or may occur in the future; and the timing of any of the foregoing. You can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “projects,” “forecast,” “outlook,” “assume,” “potential” or “continue” or variations or the negative counterparts of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and are not guarantees of future performance, and investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as predictive of future results. Actual events or results may differ materially from those stated or implied by these forward-looking statements. In evaluating these statements and our prospects, you should carefully consider the factors set forth below. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary factors and by others contained throughout this communication.

Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain, such as statements regarding the Transaction. All such forward-looking statements are based upon current plans, estimates, expectations, opportunities and ambitions that are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other important factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements. Key factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, the expected timing and likelihood of completion of the Transaction, including the timing, receipt and terms and conditions of any required governmental and regulatory approvals; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Transaction; the risk that the parties may not be able to satisfy the conditions to the Transaction in a timely manner or at all; risks related to disruption of management time from ongoing business operations due to the Transaction; the risk that any announcements relating to the Transaction could have adverse effects on the market price of the Company’s common stock; the risk that the Transaction and its announcement could have an adverse effect on the parties’ business relationships and business generally, including the ability of the Company to retain customers and retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with their suppliers and customers, and on their operating results and businesses generally; the risk of unforeseen or unknown liabilities; customer, regulatory and other stakeholder approvals and support; the risk of unexpected future capital expenditures; the risk of potential litigation relating to the Transaction that has been or could be instituted against the Company or its directors and/or officers; the risk associated with third-party contracts containing material consent, anti-assignment, transfer or other provisions that may be related to the Transaction which are not waived or otherwise satisfactorily resolved; significant costs, or expenses incurred in connection with the Transaction; Parent’s ability to obtain the necessary financing arrangements set forth in the commitment letters received in connection with the Transaction; certain restrictions contained in the Merger Agreement that may impact the Company’s ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions; the risk of various events that could disrupt operations, including pandemics, epidemics or other public health crises or severe weather (such as droughts, floods, avalanches and earthquakes), cybersecurity attacks, security threats and governmental response to them, and technological changes; the risks of labor disputes, changes in labor costs and labor difficulties; and the risks resulting from other effects of industry, market, economic, legal or legislative, political or regulatory conditions outside of the Company’s control. All such factors are difficult to predict and are beyond our control, including those detailed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 23, 2026, the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended July 3, 2026, which was filed with the SEC on August 4, 2026, the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on September 14, 2026, as supplemented, and other documents subsequently filed by the Company with the SEC. The Company’s forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable but that may not prove to be accurate. Other unpredictable factors not discussed in this communication could also have material adverse effects on forward-looking statements. The Company does not assume an obligation to update any forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable law. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof.

(a)  Income from continuing operations (GAAP) per diluted share amounts are calculated in accordance with GAAP using weighted average shares for diluted EPS.  The per share amounts for the adjustments in the table above and adjusted net income are calculated using adjusted weighted average shares. The following table provides a reconciliation from GAAP weighted average shares for diluted EPS to non-GAAP adjusted weighted average shares.

(b)  The difference between pre-tax and net of tax amounts is the estimated tax impact related to the respective adjustment. Net of tax amounts are computed using a 21% U.S. tax rate, and the statutory tax rates applicable in foreign tax jurisdictions, as adjusted for the existence of net operating losses (“NOLs”). Expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes (i.e. permanent tax differences) are added back at 100%.
(c)  Certain legal expenses associated with non-ordinary course legal matters. Amounts for the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 include $0.7 million and $2.5 million, respectively, of expense incurred in connection with the Company’s defense of a securities class action lawsuit.
(d) We initiate discrete restructuring programs primarily to realign resources to better serve our customers and markets, improve operational efficiency and capabilities, and lower operating costs or improve profitability. Depending on the program, restructuring charges may include termination benefits, contract termination, facility closure and other exit and disposal costs. Restructuring-related expenses are directly related to the program and may include retention bonuses, accelerated depreciation, consulting expense and costs to transfer manufacturing operations among our facilities. Amounts for the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 include $2.2 million and $5.0 million, respectively, relating to our global manufacturing alignment restructuring initiative. In addition, the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 includes $0.6 million and $3.0 million, respectively, related to an organizational realignment to enhance execution of our strategy through dedicated focus on growth and operational excellence.
(e) Acquisition and integration costs are incremental costs that are directly related to a business or asset acquisition. These costs may include, among other things, professional, consulting and other fees, system integration costs, and fair value adjustments relating to contingent consideration.
(f)  Other general expenses are discrete transactions occurring sporadically and affect period-over-period comparisons. The Company recorded fixed asset impairment charges during the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 of $1.2 million and $7.1 million, respectively, which were primarily due to revised expectations regarding the future use of certain fixed assets, and expense of $2.9 million and $4.4 million, respectively, related to termination benefits from actions to align labor with manufacturing volumes. The third quarter and first nine months of 2025 include $6.2 million related to termination benefits from actions to align labor with manufacturing volumes.
(g)  These adjustments represent direct and incremental costs incurred in connection with our implementation of a new global enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) solution and related IT transition costs. An implementation of this scale is a significant undertaking and will require substantial time and attention of management and key employees. The associated costs do not represent normal and recurring operating expenses and will be inconsistent in amounts and frequency making it difficult to contribute to a meaningful evaluation of our operating performance. Expenses for 2026 were primarily included in SG&A. 
(h)  Amounts reflect our share of equity method investee (gains) losses including unrealized appreciation/depreciation of the underlying interests of the investee. 
(i)  The charges represent incremental costs of complying with European Union medical device regulations for previously registered products and primarily include charges for contractors supporting the project and other direct third-party expenses. 
(j)   Other adjustments include costs which impact period-to-period comparability and do not represent the underlying ongoing results of our business. For 2025 and 2026, amounts include costs associated with leadership transitions, strategic projects, a stockholder activist matter, the Company’s strategic review and the Transaction, and a cyber incident. Other adjustments includes the following expenses (in millions):

(k) Tax adjustments include changes to uncertain tax benefits and associated interest for all periods presented, and for 2026 also reflect nondeductible transaction costs. In addition, included in the amount for the first nine months of 2025 is the write off of a deferred tax asset for $4.1 million related to a portion of the unamortized original issue discount due to the partial exchange of the 2028 Convertible Notes.
(l) Loss on extinguishment of debt consists of accelerated write-offs of unamortized deferred debt issuance costs and discounts, which are included in interest expense.
