Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements,” which include information relating to future events, future financial performance, strategies, expectations, competitive environment and regulation, including revenue growth. Words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” and similar expressions, as well as statements in future tense, identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and may not be accurate indications of when such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information we have when those statements are made or our management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to:

The foregoing does not represent an exhaustive list of matters that may be covered by the forward-looking statements contained herein or risk factors that we are faced with that may cause our actual results to differ from those anticipated in our forward-looking statements. For a discussion of these and other risks that relate to our business and investing in our common stock, you should carefully review the risks and uncertainties described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and those described from time to time in our future reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which any such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Overview

We are a medical device company focusing on the development and commercialization of products for the treatment of carotid artery disease and other vascular disease, including our proprietary CGuard™ stent platform. A stent is an expandable scaffold-like device, usually constructed of a metallic material, that is inserted into the lumen of an artery to create patency and improved blood flow. A sleeve of MicroNet™ mesh is attached over a stent to provide embolic protection both during and after stenting procedures.

Our CGuard™ carotid embolic prevention system (“CGuard EPS”) combines MicroNet and a unique self-expandable nitinol stent in a single device for use in carotid artery revascularization. Our CGuard EPS originally received CE mark approval under Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC (“MDD”) in the European Union (“EU”) in March 2013 and was fully launched in Europe in September 2015. Subsequently, we launched CGuard EPS in over 30 countries and on February 3, 2021, we executed a distribution agreement with Chinese partners for the purpose of expanding our presence in the Asian markets. In January 2024, we received CE mark recertification under the EU’s Medical Device Regulation regulatory framework.

On September 8, 2020, we received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) of our Investigation Device Exemption (“IDE”), thereby allowing us to proceed with a pivotal study of our CGuard™ Carotid Stent System, C-GUARDIANS, for prevention of stroke in patients in the United States. C-GUARDIANS is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm, pivotal study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the CGuard™ Carotid Stent System when used to treat symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis in patients undergoing carotid artery stenting (“CAS”). The study, which completed enrollment in June 2023, enrolled 316 patients across 24 trial sites in the U.S. and Europe and from April 2023 included deployment of the CGuard stent using CGuard Prime, our next generation CAS stent platform.

The primary endpoint was a composite of: (1) incidence of major adverse events including Death (all-cause mortality), any Stroke, and Myocardial Infarction (DSMI) through 30-days post index procedure, or (2) ipsilateral stroke from day 31 to day 365 post-procedure. All events were adjudicated by an independent clinical events committee. The composite index was compared to a performance goal based on the observed rate of the two components of the primary endpoint from previous pivotal stent trials which are considered industry standard. The performance goal was considered met if the upper bound of the two-sided 95% confidence interval calculated from the observed primary endpoint rate is < 11.6% and the p-value is less than 0.025.

In May 2023, we announced positive 30-day follow up results from the C-GUARDIANS trial in which stenting with the CGuard Carotid Stent System in patients with carotid artery stenosis and at high risk for carotid endarterectomy had a DSMI rate of 0.95%, measured from the date of the procedure through 30 days follow-up post-procedure. In May 2024, we announced positive one-year follow up results from the C-GUARDIANS trial, with a rate of 30-day DSMI and ipsilateral stroke between 31 and 365 days of 1.95%.

These data were used to support the premarket approval (“PMA”) submission in September 2024 with a view to potential FDA approval of the CGuard Prime carotid stent system, currently expected in the third quarter of 2025.

In October 2024, the FDA approved the Company’s IDE to initiate the CGUARDIANS II pivotal study of its CGuard Prime 80cm Carotid Stent System during transcarotid revascularization (TCAR) procedures.

In October 2023, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service (“CMS”) issued its final National Coverage Determination (“NCD”), expanding coverage for both CAS and TCAR to include both asymptomatic and standard risk patients, significantly expanding and supporting the future growth of the U.S. CAS addressable market.

We continue to invest in current and future potential new indications, products and manufacturing enhancements for CGuard that are expected to reduce cost of goods and/or provide the best-in-class performing delivery systems, such as CGuard Prime. In furtherance of our strategy that focuses on establishing the CGuard Carotid Stent System as a viable alternative to vascular surgery, we are developing a new transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) system, SwitchGuard™ neuroprotection system (“SwitchGuard NPS”), for transcarotid access and neuro protection. In addition, we intend to explore new indications for CGuard to leverage the advantages of stent design and mesh protection, well suited in labels such as acute stroke with tandem lesions.

We consider our current addressable market for our CGuard Carotid Stent System and SwitchGuard NPS to be both symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals with diagnosed high-grade carotid artery stenosis for whom intervention is preferable to medical (drug) therapy. This group includes not only carotid artery stenting patients but also individuals undergoing carotid endarterectomy, as the two approaches compete for the same patient population. Assuming full penetration of the intervention caseload by CGuard, we estimate that the addressable market for CGuard Carotid Stent System and SwitchGuard NPS is approximately $1.3 billion (source: Health Research International Personal Medical Systems, Inc. September 13, 2021 Results of Update Report on Global Carotid Stenting Procedures and Markets by Major Geography and Addressable Markets and internal estimates). According to this same report and internal estimates, assuming full penetration of treatment for all individuals diagnosed with high-grade carotid artery stenosis, we estimate the total available market for CGuard Carotid Stent System and SwitchGuard NPS to be approximately $9.3 billion, which may grow over time if expanded treatment options such as CGuard Carotid Stent System and SwitchGuard NPS lead to increased patient screening for carotid artery disease.

We were organized in the State of Delaware on February 29, 2008. In October 2024, we established our global headquarters in Miami, Florida to support the anticipated U.S. launch and commercialization of the CGuard Prime carotid stent system.

Critical Accounting Policies

A critical accounting policy is one that is both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operation and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our critical accounting policies are more fully described in both (i) “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and (ii) Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. There have not been any material changes to such critical accounting policies since December 31, 2024.

The currency of the primary economic environment in which our operations are conducted is the U.S. dollar (“$” or “dollar”).

Results of Operations

Three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024

Revenues. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, revenue increased by $18,000, or 1.2%, to $1,529,000, from $1,511,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Growth in the quarter was driven by continued adoption of our CGuard technology, offset by the impact of foreign exchange and distributors managing CGuard inventory levels in anticipation of the potential CGuard Prime approval in Europe.

With respect to geographical regions, the increase in revenue was primarily attributable to a $50,000 increase in Latin America, a $21,000 increase in Asia due to continued adoption of our CGuard technology, and a $22,000 increase in North America due to sales in the United States related to stents used in our CGUARDIANS II pivotal study. This increase was offset by a $71,000 decrease in Europe driven by the impact of foreign exchange and distributors managing CGuard inventory levels in anticipation of the potential CGuard Prime approval in Europe and a $3,000 decrease in other territories.

Gross Profit. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, our gross profit was $292,000, no change in our gross profit compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. Gross margin (gross profits as a percentage of revenue) decreased to 19.1% during the three months ended March 31, 2025, from 19.3% during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Research and Development Expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, research and development expenses increased by 1,434,000, or 54.6%, to $4,059,000, from $2,625,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2024. This increase resulted primarily due to an increase of $670,000 of SwitchGuard NPS development and regulatory approval process including expenses related to the IDE application for the CGUARDIANS II pivotal study of the CGuard Prime 80cm Carotid Stent System, an increase in compensation expenses of $373,000, due to an increase of share-based compensation-related expenses and due to hiring of new employees in connection with our expansion in the United States, an increase of $282,000 related to CGuard Prime product preparation expenses for the anticipated U.S. commercial launch of CGuard Prime, and an increase of $109,000 in miscellaneous expenses.

Selling and Marketing Expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, selling and marketing expenses increased by $1,513,000, or 122.3%, to $2,750,000 from $1,237,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2024. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in compensation expenses of $1,123,000 and related travel expenses of $129,000 as the Company build its U.S. commercial infrastructure to enter the U.S. market in anticipation of the potential FDA approval for CGuard Prime. In addition, there was an increase of $236,000 in promotional activities and an increase of $25,000 in miscellaneous expenses.

General and Administrative Expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, general and administrative expenses increased by $1,099,000, or 28.6%, to $4,943,000, from $3,844,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by a $757,000 increase in compensation expenses and related accruals, mainly due to new hires for our Miami headquarters, salary increases and expected severance payments accrued for as a result of our chief financial officer’s announced retirement, a $223,000 increase in employee headhunting fees, $98,000 for rent expenses, mainly related to our Miami headquarters, and an increase of $21,000 in miscellaneous expenses.

Financial Income. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, financial income decreased by $88,000 or 23.0%, to $294,000, from $382,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in financial income primarily resulted from a $90,000 decrease in interest income from investment in marketable securities, money market funds and short-term bank deposits.

Tax Expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, there was no material change in our tax expenses as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Net Loss. Our net loss increased by $4,134,000, or 58.8%, to $11,166,000, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $7,032,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in net loss resulted primarily from an increase of $4,046,000 in operating expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had an accumulated deficit as of March 31, 2025, of $265 million, as well as a net loss of $11,166,000 and negative operating cash flows. We expect to continue incurring losses and negative cash flows from operations until our product, CGuard EPS, reaches commercial profitability. As a result of these expected losses and negative cash flows from operations, along with our current cash position, we believe we do not have sufficient resources to fund operations for at least the next 12 months. Therefore, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our plans include continued commercialization of our products and raising capital through sale of additional equity securities, debt or capital inflows from strategic partnerships and exercise of warrants. There are no assurances, however, that we will be successful in obtaining the level of financing needed for our operations. If we are unsuccessful in commercializing our products or raising capital, we may need to reduce activities, curtail or cease operations.

In May 2023, we closed a private placement offering of 10,266,270 shares (the “Private Placement Shares”) of our common stock, pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 15,561,894 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 51,656,328 shares of common stock, consisting of Series H warrants to purchase up to 12,914,086 shares of common stock (the “Series H Warrants”), Series I warrants to purchase up to 12,914,078 shares of common stock (the “Series I Warrants”), Series J warrants to purchase up to 12,914,086 shares of Common Stock (the “Series J Warrants”) and Series K warrants to purchase up to 12,914,086 shares of common stock (the “Series K Warrants” and together with the Series H Warrants, Series I Warrants and Series J Warrants, the “Warrants”), at an offering price of $1.6327 per Private Placement Share and associated Warrants and an offering price of $1.6326 per Pre-Funded Warrant and associated Warrants that resulted in aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $42.2 million, before deducting fees payable to the placement agent and other offering expenses payable by us. If the Warrants issued in the private placement offering are exercised in cash in full this would result in an additional $71.4 million of gross proceeds.

In May 2024, we entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement with Piper Sandler & Co., as sales agent (“Piper Sandler), pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time, at our option, through or to Piper Sandler up to $75,000,000 of our common stock (the “ATM Program”). As of the issuance date of this report, we have sold 920,898 shares of our common stock for total gross proceeds of approximately $2,396 thousands   under the ATM Program.

During June 2024, Series H warrants to purchase 12,914,086 shares of common stock were exercised in full into 292,996 of shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants to purchase 12,621,090 shares of common stock. The net proceeds to the Company from the exercise of the Series H Warrants were $16.9 million after deducting placement agent fees.

Three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the Three months ended March 31, 2024

General. At March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $12,383,000 and marketable securities of $13,703,000, as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $18,916,000 and marketable securities of $15,721,000 as of December 31, 2024. We have historically met our cash needs through a combination of issuing new shares, borrowing activities and product sales. Our cash requirements are generally for research and development, marketing and sales activities, finance and administrative costs, capital expenditures and general working capital.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash used in our operating activities increased by $3,728,000, or 73.6%, to $8,792,000, from $5,064,000 during the same period in 2024. The primary reason for the increase in cash used in our operating activities was an increase of $986,000 in payments for third party related expenses and for professional services, an increase of $2,151,000 in compensation costs paid during the three months ended March 31, 2025 (from $3,675,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $5,826,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2025), a decrease of $555,000 in payments received from customers during the three months ended March 31, 2025 (from $2,110,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $1,555,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2025) and a decrease of $36,000 in interest income received from money market funds and marketable securities.

Cash provided by our investing activities was $1,702,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $4,817,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The primary reason for the decrease in cash provided by our investing activities is withdrawal of $2,949,000, net of investment in marketable securities and an increase of $164,000 in payments made for purchase of property, plant and equipment during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $506,000. The source of the cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025, were the proceeds from issuance of shares of $506,000, net of issuance costs, received from our ATM Program. There was no cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations) or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons that have, or may have, a material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Factors That May Affect Future Operations

We believe that our future operating results will continue to be subject to quarterly variations based upon a wide variety of factors, including the cyclical nature of the ordering patterns of our distributors, timing of regulatory approvals, the implementation of various phases of our clinical trials and manufacturing efficiencies due to the learning curve of utilizing new materials and equipment. Our operating results could also be impacted by a weakening of the Euro and strengthening of the NIS, both against the U.S. dollar. Lastly, other economic conditions we cannot foresee may affect customer demand, such as individual country reimbursement policies pertaining to our products.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, there were no material changes to our contractual obligations and commitments since the year ended December 31, 2024.

Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 3 to our condensed financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for new accounting pronouncements adopted.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Management’s Conclusions Regarding Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of March 31, 2025, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and participation of management including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

Based upon this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2025.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. There are currently no pending material legal proceedings, and we are currently not aware of any legal proceedings or claims against us or our property that we believe will have any significant effect on our business, financial position or operating results.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Except as set forth below in this Item 1A and the Risk Factors included in our previous filings made with the SEC, there have been no material changes to our risk factors from those disclosed in “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 12, 2025.

Management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, and our condensed financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 includes an explanatory paragraph as to our ability to continue as a going concern, which could prevent us from obtaining new financing on reasonable terms or at all.

Because we have had recurring losses and negative cash flows from operating activities, substantial doubt exists regarding our ability to remain as a going concern at the same level at which we are currently performing. Accordingly, our condensed financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 includes an explanatory paragraph as to our potential inability to continue as a going concern. The doubts regarding our potential ability to continue as a going concern may adversely affect our ability to obtain new financing on reasonable terms or at all.

If there are significant shifts in the political, economic and military conditions in Israel and its neighbors, it could have a material adverse effect on our business relationships and profitability.

Our current manufacturing facility, certain of our key personnel and one of our offices are located in Israel. Our business is directly affected by the political, economic and military conditions in Israel and its neighbors. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a number of armed conflicts have occurred between Israel and its Arab neighbors.

In October 2023, Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a series of attacks on civilian and military targets. Hamas also launched extensive rocket attacks on Israeli population and industrial centers located along Israel’s border with the Gaza Strip and in other areas within the State of Israel. These attacks resulted in extensive deaths, injuries and kidnapping of civilians and soldiers. Following the attack, Israel’s security cabinet declared war against Hamas and a military campaign against these terrorist organizations commenced in parallel to their continued rocket and terror attacks.

In addition, since the commencement of these events, there have been continued hostilities along Israel’s northern border with Lebanon (with the Hezbollah terror organization) and on other fronts from various extremist groups in region, such as the Houthis in Yemen and various rebel militia groups in Syria and Iraq. In October 2024, Israel began limited ground operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon, and in November 2024, a ceasefire was brokered between Israel and Hezbollah. In addition, Iran recently launched direct attacks on Israel involving hundreds of drones and missiles and has threatened to continue to attack Israel and is widely believed to be developing nuclear weapons. Iran is also believed to have a strong influence among extremist groups in the region, such as Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthi movement in Yemen and various rebel militia groups in Syria and Iraq. These situations may potentially escalate in the future to more violent events which may affect Israel and us. Additionally, Yemeni rebel group, the Houthis, launched series of attacks on global shipping routes in the Red Sea, causing disruptions of supply chain. Such clashes may escalate in the future into a greater regional conflict.

In connection with the Israeli security cabinet’s declaration of war against Hamas and possible hostilities with other organizations, several hundred thousand Israeli military reservists were drafted to perform immediate military service, including five full time employees in Israel of ours. Although many of such military reservists have since been released, including all our employees, they may be called up for additional reserve duty, depending on developments in the war in Gaza and along Israel’s other borders. Military service call ups that result in absences of personnel from us for an extended period of time may materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. As of the date hereof, we currently have 66 full-time employees located in Israel.

Since the war broke out on October 7, 2023, our operations have not been adversely affected by this situation, and we have not experienced disruptions to our clinical studies. None of the clinical sites currently participating in our clinical studies are located in Israel; however, we currently manufacture our CGuard at our facility in Tel Aviv, Israel. If there were a disruption to our existing manufacturing facility or our ability to procure raw materials and ship our products, we would have no other means of manufacturing and distributing CGuard until we were able to restore the manufacturing and distribution capability at our facility or develop alternative manufacturing facilities and distribution capabilities.

The intensity and duration of Israel’s current war is difficult to predict at this stage, as are such war’s economic implications on the Company’s business and operations and on Israel’s economy in general. If the ceasefires declared collapse or a new war commences or hostilities expand to other fronts, our operations may be adversely affected.

Our commercial insurance does not cover losses that may occur as a result of events associated with war and terrorism. Although the Israeli government currently covers the reinstatement value of direct damages that are caused by terrorist attacks or acts of war, we cannot assure you that this government coverage will be maintained or that it will sufficiently cover our potential damages. Any losses or damages incurred by us could have a material adverse effect on our business. Any armed conflicts or political instability in the region would likely negatively affect business conditions and could harm our results of operations.

The continued political instability and hostilities between Israel and its neighbors and any future armed conflict, terrorist activity or political instability in the region could adversely affect our operations in Israel and adversely affect the market price of our shares of common stock. In addition, several organizations and countries may restrict doing business with Israel and Israeli companies have been and are today subjected to economic boycotts. The interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and its present trading partners could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Finally, political conditions within Israel may affect our operations. Israel has held five general elections between 2019 and 2022, and prior to October 2023, the Israeli government pursued extensive changes to Israel’s judicial system, which sparked extensive political debate and unrest. Actual or perceived political instability in Israel or any negative changes in the political environment, may individually or in the aggregate adversely affect the Israeli economy and, in turn, our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.

Changes to trade policy, including tariff and customs regulations, or failure to comply with such regulations may have an adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.

Changes in U.S. or international social, political, regulatory and economic conditions or in laws and policies governing trade, manufacturing, development and investment in the countries where we currently conduct our business could adversely affect our business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations. Changes or proposed changes in U.S. or other countries’ trade policies may result in restrictions and economic disincentives on international trade.

We currently manufacture, package and distribute all of our products, including the CGuard Prime carotid stent system, which is under FDA review for U.S. commercial approval, at our own facility in Israel. To support our anticipated production growth following the anticipated commercialization of the CGuard Prime carotid stent system, we have engaged Aptyx Interventional Systems (“Aptyx”), a contract manufacturer that is a developer and manufacturer of complex components and devices for the life sciences, to transfer the manufacturing of CGuard Prime finished goods to full-scale production at their ISO Class 7 cleanroom facility in North Carolina. While we are in the process of establishing manufacturing operations in the United States with Aptyx, this transition will take time, and until it is operational, we expect to rely entirely on product shipments from Israel to the U.S. market.

The U.S. government has recently imposed, or is currently considering imposing, tariffs on certain products, including medical devices, on certain trade partners, including Israel. Tariffs, economic sanctions and other changes in U.S. trade policy have in the past and could in the future trigger retaliatory actions by affected countries, and certain foreign governments have instituted or are considering imposing retaliatory measures on certain U.S. goods. Further, any emerging protectionist or nationalist trends (whether regulatory- or consumer-driven) either in the United States or in other countries could affect the trade environment. Our business, like many other corporations, would be impacted by changes to the trade policies of the United States and foreign countries (including governmental action related to tariffs, international trade agreements, or economic sanctions). If new tariffs are enacted while we remain dependent on Israeli manufacturing, our cost of goods sold for the U.S. market may increase materially, which could negatively impact our gross margins and limit our pricing flexibility. Additionally, changes to trade agreements or customs regulations between the U.S. and Israel could increase lead times, introduce logistical complexities, or require modifications to our supply chain planning. These or similar trade-related developments may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
