"The macro environment remains volatile, with external factors affecting sales and supply chain challenges driving higher cost and delays in delivery of products. However, sales growth continues to be strong in EMEA and APAC with the exception of China. We are very pleased with how the Power Knee has been received in the market and are optimistic about the potential of powered prosthetics. While managing through this volatile environment that is impacting our operational cost, our focus remains on providing innovative mobility solutions to more individuals."
