CONMED reported 1Q25 orthopedic sales of $138.3 million, up 2.5% compared to the first quarter of 2024.
The company’s supply chain improvement initiative has three focus areas: procurement and relationships with supply partners, better production planning and production itself. CONMED said it made early progress in the first quarter, reducing the number of SKUs on backorder, but isn’t where it needs to be.
On the bright side, however, the company drove double-digit growth in its foot and ankle offering while also generating strong demand for BioBrace.
There was also some good news, if such a phrase may be used, on CONMED’s exposure to tariffs. The company’s plant in Mexico will be exempt and China is likely to exempt medical devices entering its borders. However, exposure to the high tariff rates in China will increase in 2026.
“It has become clear that product coming from our plant in Mexico will be exempt from tariffs as we are USMCA compliant,” said CONMED CFO Todd Garner. “Our disclosure today is based on a 145% tariff on products coming from China, 25% from Canada and 10% on products from Europe and the rest of the world. Using those percentages, we estimate approximately $5.5 million of supply chain exposure in 2025. 85% of that is from China, 12% is from Europe.”
For the full year, CONMED expects total revenues between $1,350 million and $1,378 million, representing growth between 3.3% and 5.4%.
