Gatos, CA - March 12, 2024 - Tenon Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: TNON) ("Tenon Medical" or the "Company"),
a company transforming care for patients suffering with certain sacroiliac joint (SI Joint) disorders, today reported financial results
for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023.
Quarter & Full Year 2023 and Subsequent Highlights
Foster, President and Chief Executive Officer of Tenon Medical, commented, "Tenon's strong fourth quarter and full year of
2023 was underscored by solid momentum in revenue, gross profit and gross margin, with fourth quarter's solid performance driven
by a 312% year-over-year increase in surgical procedures utilizing The Catamaran System. In tandem, fourth quarter revenue increased
192% to $0.8 million, and full year 2023 achieved a 324% revenue increase to $2.9 million from 2022. Our notable achievement of three
consecutive quarters of positive gross profit resulted in full year 2023 gross profit of $1.2 million and is a key performance metric
we utilize for internal goal setting. Gross margin followed as well, achieving 69% in the fourth quarter, a striking sequential increase
from 57% in Q3 2023.
results throughout 2023, our first full year of commercialization, were driven by the successes of our sales and marketing team, and
a cadence of targeted physician workshop activities including a fourth quarter webinar series attracting over sixty healthcare providers
interested in the simple inferior-posterior implantation technique of our unique transfixing SI joint implant. For the full year, we
hosted 133 physicians in Catamaran focused training sessions.
throughout 2023, we successfully secured capital that has positioned our balance sheet to support our accelerated sales and marketing
initiatives to advance the commercialization of the Catamaran System. We are appreciative of the confidence in our SI products as represented
by our supportive and prominent investor syndicate. Importantly, our $1.25 million secured note financing led by Ascent Special Ventures
in November 2023 has been fully repaid with the issuance in February 2024 of Series A Preferred Stock to the investors in such financing."
Foster continued, "Moving into 2024, we will leverage all we've learned in our first full year of commercialization by listening
intently to our physician customers. Additionally, we will expand our educational activities to encompass the full suite of applications
of our unique technology and we will continue to refine our instrument and implant offerings. We continue to make progress on our post-market
multi-center study and expect a preliminary glimpse of this important data in the coming weeks.
the long-term, our goal is to further expand our product portfolio to address SI Revision with our innovative patent protected technology.
Taken together, we are proud of our 2023 accomplishments including the revenue ramp and attractive gross profit from increased awareness
and adoption of The Catamaran System. We've positioned Tenon's balance sheet and operating structure to drive continued revenue
growth in 2024 as we continue to pursue a long-term value proposition for all stakeholders," concluded Foster.

Medical, Inc., a medical device company formed in 2012, has developed The Catamaran SI Joint Fusion System that offers a novel,
less invasive approach to the SI joint using a single, robust titanium implant. The system features the Catamaran Fixation Device
which passes through both the axial and sagittal planes of the ilium and sacrum, stabilizing and transfixing the SI joint along its longitudinal
axis. The angle and trajectory of the Catamaran surgical approach is also designed to provide a pathway away from critical neural and
vascular structures and into the strongest cortical bone. Tenon is underway with a national launch of this system to address the greatly
underserved market opportunity that exists in this space. For more information, please visit www.tenonmed.com.
