During today's call, management will discuss the results included in the press release and accompanying financial schedules and then use the remaining time for Q&A. Please note that management will be making forward-looking statements that are based on estimates, assumptions and projections. These statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and Edwards does not undertake any obligation to update them after today. Additionally, these statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.์˜ค๋Š˜ ์ปจํผ๋Ÿฐ์Šค ์ฝœ์—์„œ ๊ฒฝ์˜์ง„์€ ๋ณด๋„์ž๋ฃŒ ๋ฐ ์ฒจ๋ถ€๋œ ์žฌ๋ฌด์ œํ‘œ์— ํฌํ•จ๋œ ์‹ค์ ์„ ๋…ผ์˜ํ•œ ํ›„, ๋‚จ์€ ์‹œ๊ฐ„์€ ์งˆ์˜์‘๋‹ต์— ํ• ์• ํ•  ์˜ˆ์ •์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ฒฝ์˜์ง„์ด ์ถ”์ •์น˜, ๊ฐ€์ • ๋ฐ ์ „๋ง์— ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜ํ•œ ๋ฏธ๋ž˜์˜ˆ์ธก์ง„์ˆ (forward-looking statements)์„ ํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ž„์„ ์œ ์˜ํ•ด ์ฃผ์‹œ๊ธฐ ๋ฐ”๋ž๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์ง„์ˆ ์€ ์ง„์ˆ ์ด ์ด๋ฃจ์–ด์ง„ ๋‚ ์งœ๋ฅผ ๊ธฐ์ค€์œผ๋กœ๋งŒ ์œ ํšจํ•˜๋ฉฐ, Edwards๋Š” ์˜ค๋Š˜ ์ดํ›„ ์ด๋ฅผ ์—…๋ฐ์ดํŠธํ•  ์˜๋ฌด๋ฅผ ์ง€์ง€ ์•Š์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋˜ํ•œ, ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์ง„์ˆ ์—๋Š” ์‹ค์ œ ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ๊ฐ€ ๋ฏธ๋ž˜์˜ˆ์ธก์ง„์ˆ ์— ๋ช…์‹œ๋˜๊ฑฐ๋‚˜ ์•”์‹œ๋œ ๋‚ด์šฉ๊ณผ ์ค‘๋Œ€ํ•˜๊ฒŒ ๋‹ฌ๋ผ์งˆ ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ์œ„ํ—˜๊ณผ ๋ถˆํ™•์‹ค์„ฑ์ด ํฌํ•จ๋˜์–ด ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Factors that could cause these differences can be found in today's press release and Edwards' other SEC filings, all of which are available on the company's website at edwards.com. Unless otherwise noted, our commentary on sales growth refers to constant currency sales growth which is defined in the financial results press release issued earlier today. Reconciliations between GAAP and non-GAAP numbers mentioned during this call are also included in today's press release. Quarterly and full year growth rates refer to continuing operation. With that, I'll turn the call over to Bernard for his comments. Bernard Zovighian
CEO & Director

This is the result of our differentiated strategy with a clear vision around three key elements: focusing thoroughly on structural heart, solving large, urgent and very complex patient needs and pursuing unique opportunities to innovate and lead. This is only possible due to our deeply experienced teams, their excellent execution and their commitment to patients worldwide. With our achievement in 2025, we are entering 2026 with strength and momentum globally with many growth catalysts in each area across the company.์ด๋Š” ์„ธ ๊ฐ€์ง€ ํ•ต์‹ฌ ์š”์†Œ๋ฅผ ์ค‘์‹ฌ์œผ๋กœ ๋ช…ํ™•ํ•œ ๋น„์ „์„ ๊ฐ€์ง„ ์ฐจ๋ณ„ํ™”๋œ ์ „๋žต์˜ ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค: ๊ตฌ์กฐ์  ์‹ฌ์žฅ์งˆํ™˜์— ์ฒ ์ €ํžˆ ์ง‘์ค‘ํ•˜๊ณ , ๋Œ€๊ทœ๋ชจ์˜ ์‹œ๊ธ‰ํ•˜๊ณ  ๋งค์šฐ ๋ณต์žกํ•œ ํ™˜์ž ๋‹ˆ์ฆˆ๋ฅผ ํ•ด๊ฒฐํ•˜๋ฉฐ, ํ˜์‹ ์„ ์ฃผ๋„ํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ๋…ํŠนํ•œ ๊ธฐํšŒ๋ฅผ ์ถ”๊ตฌํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์˜ค์ง ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ํ’๋ถ€ํ•œ ๊ฒฝํ—˜์„ ๋ณด์œ ํ•œ ํŒ€๋“ค, ๊ทธ๋“ค์˜ ํƒ์›”ํ•œ ์‹คํ–‰๋ ฅ, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ „ ์„ธ๊ณ„ ํ™˜์ž๋“ค์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ํ—Œ์‹  ๋•๋ถ„์— ๊ฐ€๋Šฅํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2025๋…„์˜ ์„ฑ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ๋ฐ”ํƒ•์œผ๋กœ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์ „์‚ฌ์ ์œผ๋กœ ๊ฐ ์˜์—ญ์—์„œ ๋งŽ์€ ์„ฑ์žฅ ์ด‰๋งค๋ฅผ ๊ฐ€์ง€๊ณ  ์ „ ์„ธ๊ณ„์ ์œผ๋กœ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ํž˜๊ณผ ๋ชจ๋ฉ˜ํ…€์„ ๊ฐ€์ง€๊ณ  2026๋…„์„ ๋งž์ดํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Starting with TAVR, there is a renewed focus on SAPIEN across the healthcare ecosystem, led by the 7-year PARTNER III and the 10-year PARTNER II data which confirm the long-term durability and proven valve performance of the SAPIEN platform. This data presented last October at TCT reinforced the confidence physicians and patients have in Edwards TAVR and set a new clinical benchmark for safety, efficacy, durability and lifetime management of patients. In addition, the practice-changing EARLY TAVR trial is resonating with the clinical community, starting with the guideline changes in Europe.TAVR๋ถ€ํ„ฐ ์‹œ์ž‘ํ•˜๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์˜๋ฃŒ ์ƒํƒœ๊ณ„ ์ „๋ฐ˜์—์„œ SAPIEN์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ๊ด€์‹ฌ์ด ์ƒˆ๋กญ๊ฒŒ ์ง‘์ค‘๋˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” 7๋…„๊ฐ„์˜ PARTNER III ์—ฐ๊ตฌ์™€ 10๋…„๊ฐ„์˜ PARTNER II ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ๊ฐ€ ์ฃผ๋„ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ๋“ค์€ SAPIEN ํ”Œ๋žซํผ์˜ ์žฅ๊ธฐ ๋‚ด๊ตฌ์„ฑ๊ณผ ๊ฒ€์ฆ๋œ ํŒ๋ง‰ ์„ฑ๋Šฅ์„ ํ™•์ธ์‹œ์ผœ ์ฃผ์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ง€๋‚œ 10์›” TCT์—์„œ ๋ฐœํ‘œ๋œ ์ด ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ๋Š” ์˜์‚ฌ์™€ ํ™˜์ž๋“ค์ด Edwards TAVR์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๊ฐ–๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ์‹ ๋ขฐ๋ฅผ ๊ฐ•ํ™”ํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ํ™˜์ž์˜ ์•ˆ์ „์„ฑ, ์œ ํšจ์„ฑ, ๋‚ด๊ตฌ์„ฑ ๋ฐ ํ‰์ƒ ๊ด€๋ฆฌ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ์ž„์ƒ ๊ธฐ์ค€์„ ์ˆ˜๋ฆฝํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋˜ํ•œ, ์ง„๋ฃŒ ๊ด€ํ–‰์„ ๋ณ€ํ™”์‹œํ‚ค๋Š” EARLY TAVR ์ž„์ƒ์‹œํ—˜์€ ์œ ๋Ÿฝ์˜ ๊ฐ€์ด๋“œ๋ผ์ธ ๋ณ€๊ฒฝ์„ ์‹œ์ž‘์œผ๋กœ ์ž„์ƒ ์ปค๋ฎค๋‹ˆํ‹ฐ์—์„œ ํฐ ๋ฐ˜ํ–ฅ์„ ์ผ์œผํ‚ค๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Together, all of these will have a lasting impact on the continued expansion of a SAPIEN platform globally. Continuing with TMTT, growth is fueled by a comprehensive portfolio of repair and replacement therapies and strengthened by new options for patients. These include the launch of SAPIEN M3, the scaling of EVOQUE, the upcoming introduction of next gen PASCAL in Q4 of this year and the introduction of PASCAL for U.S. tricuspid patients also in Q4. Together, these are significant advancements for mitral and tricuspid patients and represent large opportunities to achieve our $2 billion revenue expectation for TMTT in 2030.์ด ๋ชจ๋“  ๊ฒƒ๋“ค์ด ์ „ ์„ธ๊ณ„์ ์œผ๋กœ SAPIEN ํ”Œ๋žซํผ์˜ ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ํ™•์žฅ์— ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฏธ์น  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Overall for Edwards in 2026, we have increased confidence in meeting our 8% to 10% sales growth guidance as well as in our EPS guidance. We are looking forward to an updated national coverage determination for TAVR, which may present a potential tailwind later this year, recognizing that our impressive results in 2025 have set a higher bar for 2026, especially in the second half. Long term, we are well positioned to execute our compelling growth strategy. And specifically over the next 3 years, we will be pioneering new therapies, launching next generation of existing technologies as well as expanding indication to impact more patients.2026๋…„ ์—๋“œ์›Œ์ฆˆ ์ „์ฒด์ ์œผ๋กœ๋Š” 8%~10% ๋งค์ถœ ์„ฑ์žฅ ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค์™€ ์ฃผ๋‹น์ˆœ์ด์ต(EPS) ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค ๋‹ฌ์„ฑ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ํ™•์‹ ์ด ๋†’์•„์กŒ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์˜ฌํ•ด ํ›„๋ฐ˜์— ์ž ์žฌ์  ์ˆœํ’์ด ๋  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” TAVR์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์ „๊ตญ ๋ณดํ—˜๊ธ‰์—ฌ ๊ฒฐ์ •(NCD) ์—…๋ฐ์ดํŠธ๋ฅผ ๊ธฐ๋Œ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, 2025๋…„์˜ ์ธ์ƒ์ ์ธ ์‹ค์ ์ด 2026๋…„, ํŠนํžˆ ํ•˜๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์— ๋” ๋†’์€ ๊ธฐ์ค€์„ ์„ค์ •ํ–ˆ๋‹ค๋Š” ์ ์„ ์ธ์‹ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์žฅ๊ธฐ์ ์œผ๋กœ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์„ค๋“๋ ฅ ์žˆ๋Š” ์„ฑ์žฅ ์ „๋žต์„ ์‹คํ–‰ํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ์ข‹์€ ์œ„์น˜์— ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ตฌ์ฒด์ ์œผ๋กœ ํ–ฅํ›„ 3๋…„๊ฐ„ ์‹ ๊ทœ ์น˜๋ฃŒ๋ฒ•์„ ๊ฐœ์ฒ™ํ•˜๊ณ , ์ฐจ์„ธ๋Œ€ ๊ธฐ์กด ๊ธฐ์ˆ ์„ ์ถœ์‹œํ•˜๋ฉฐ, ๋” ๋งŽ์€ ํ™˜์ž๋“ค์—๊ฒŒ ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฏธ์น  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋„๋ก ์ ์‘์ฆ์„ ํ™•๋Œ€ํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Leveraging our experience, we are extending into structural heart failure and aortic regurgitation or AR for the many patients who are not well served today. This will create additional growth opportunities and extend our structural heart leadership. In 2027 and beyond, we continue to expect average annual sales growth of 10% with constant currency operating margin expansion as we continue to address patients in need by advancing novel therapies to extend lives, improve quality of life and provide greater impact and efficiency for health systems.

TAVR overall procedural growth in the quarter remained in the high single digit. And for Edwards, TAVR's fourth quarter global sales of $1.16 billion increased 10.6% over the prior year and slightly sequentially over a high Q3, which was inconsistent with typical summer seasonality. The Q4 performance reflected clinicians elevated focus on SAPIEN therapy and proactive disease management of patients suffering from severe aortic stenosis. Edwards TAVR procedural growth was comparable across the U.S. and OUS. And our average price and competitive position were stable on a global basis.TAVR ์ „์ฒด ์‹œ์ˆ  ์„ฑ์žฅ๋ฅ ์€ ์ด๋ฒˆ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ํ•œ ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜ ํ›„๋ฐ˜๋Œ€๋ฅผ ์œ ์ง€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์—๋“œ์›Œ์ฆˆ์˜ ๊ฒฝ์šฐ, TAVR 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๊ธ€๋กœ๋ฒŒ ๋งค์ถœ์€ 11์–ต 6์ฒœ๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋กœ ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ 10.6% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ๋†’์€ ์‹ค์ ์„ ๊ธฐ๋กํ–ˆ๋˜ 3๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ํ•ด์„œ๋„ ์†Œํญ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์ผ๋ฐ˜์ ์ธ ์—ฌ๋ฆ„์ฒ  ๊ณ„์ ˆ์„ฑ๊ณผ๋Š” ๋‹ค๋ฅธ ์–‘์ƒ์ด์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์‹ค์ ์€ ์ž„์ƒ์˜๋“ค์ด SAPIEN ์น˜๋ฃŒ๋ฒ•์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ๊ด€์‹ฌ์„ ๋†’์ด๊ณ  ์ค‘์ฆ ๋Œ€๋™๋งฅ ํ˜‘์ฐฉ์ฆ์„ ์•“๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ํ™˜์ž๋“ค์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์„ ์ œ์  ์งˆํ™˜ ๊ด€๋ฆฌ์— ์ง‘์ค‘ํ•œ ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ๋ฐ˜์˜ํ•œ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์—๋“œ์›Œ์ฆˆ์˜ TAVR ์‹œ์ˆ  ์„ฑ์žฅ๋ฅ ์€ ๋ฏธ๊ตญ๊ณผ ํ•ด์™ธ ์‹œ์žฅ์—์„œ ๋น„์Šทํ•œ ์ˆ˜์ค€์„ ๋ณด์˜€์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ํ‰๊ท  ๊ฐ€๊ฒฉ๊ณผ ๊ฒฝ์Ÿ์  ์ง€์œ„๋Š” ๊ธ€๋กœ๋ฒŒ ๊ธฐ์ค€์œผ๋กœ ์•ˆ์ •์ ์ด์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
While early TAVR studied TAVR AS patients without symptom, we are encouraged by the impact this study has had on increasing the sense of urgency for the treatment of patients who have symptoms. The timely referral evaluation and treatment of patients with severe aortic stenosis is fueled by a large and growing body of evidence on the long-term outcomes of SAPIEN valves. Our position as the only TAVR therapy with asymptomatic indication will provide additional benefits along with the potential of an updated TAVR NCD and U.S. and Japan guideline evolution. These additive catalysts provide multiple layers of durable growth.์ดˆ๊ธฐ TAVR ์—ฐ๊ตฌ๊ฐ€ ๋ฌด์ฆ์ƒ AS ํ™˜์ž๋ฅผ ๋Œ€์ƒ์œผ๋กœ ํ–ˆ์ง€๋งŒ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์ด ์—ฐ๊ตฌ๊ฐ€ ์ฆ์ƒ์ด ์žˆ๋Š” ํ™˜์ž ์น˜๋ฃŒ์˜ ๊ธด๊ธ‰์„ฑ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์ธ์‹์„ ๋†’์ด๋Š” ๋ฐ ๋ฏธ์นœ ์˜ํ–ฅ์— ๊ณ ๋ฌด๋˜์–ด ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ค‘์ฆ ๋Œ€๋™๋งฅ ํ˜‘์ฐฉ์ฆ ํ™˜์ž์˜ ์ ์‹œ ์˜๋ขฐ, ํ‰๊ฐ€ ๋ฐ ์น˜๋ฃŒ๋Š” SAPIEN ํŒ๋ง‰์˜ ์žฅ๊ธฐ ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ๋ฐฉ๋Œ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•˜๋Š” ์ฆ๊ฑฐ ์ž๋ฃŒ์— ์˜ํ•ด ์ด‰์ง„๋˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ฌด์ฆ์ƒ ์ ์‘์ฆ์„ ๊ฐ€์ง„ ์œ ์ผํ•œ TAVR ์น˜๋ฃŒ์ œ๋กœ์„œ์˜ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ์ž…์ง€๋Š” ์—…๋ฐ์ดํŠธ๋  TAVR NCD(๊ตญ๊ฐ€๋ณดํ—˜์ ์šฉ๊ฒฐ์ •)์™€ ๋ฏธ๊ตญ ๋ฐ ์ผ๋ณธ ๊ฐ€์ด๋“œ๋ผ์ธ ๊ฐœ์ • ๊ฐ€๋Šฅ์„ฑ๊ณผ ํ•จ๊ป˜ ์ถ”๊ฐ€์ ์ธ ์ด์ ์„ ์ œ๊ณตํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๋ถ€๊ฐ€์  ์ด‰๋งค์ œ๋“ค์€ ์ง€์† ๊ฐ€๋Šฅํ•œ ์„ฑ์žฅ์˜ ์—ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์ธต์„ ์ œ๊ณตํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
In addition to the long-term data presented at TCT, more than 30 distinguished physician thought leaders published the first ever AS global consensus document. This validates the movement away from the outdated practice of watchful waiting and further supports the importance of guideline management of CV AS patients. Let me turn to some U.S. commentary. We saw intentional and urgent treatment of severe aortic stenosis patients, fueled by a large and growing body of world-class evidence on the SAPIEN platform and the increased adoption of SAPIEN 3 Ultra RESILIA.

This decision has the potential to improve timely and equitable access to life-saving TAVR therapy. The initial 30-day public comment period closed on January 14 and we look forward to the process continuing.

It is a multiyear program to elevate heart valve disease as a critical focus area for hospital systems through adherence to specific quality metric based care, expanded data collection, enhanced health care professional education and patient engagement. In Europe, fourth quarter results reflected healthy underlying TAVR procedure growth as well as our consistent execution across the region. Updated guidelines from the European Society of Cardiology and the European Association for Cardiothoracic surgery are reshaping clinical discussions around proactive disease management and reinforcing the role of TAVR for a broader patient population.์ด๋Š” ํŠน์ • ํ’ˆ์งˆ ์ง€ํ‘œ ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜ ์น˜๋ฃŒ ์ค€์ˆ˜, ํ™•๋Œ€๋œ ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ ์ˆ˜์ง‘, ๊ฐ•ํ™”๋œ ์˜๋ฃŒ ์ „๋ฌธ๊ฐ€ ๊ต์œก ๋ฐ ํ™˜์ž ์ฐธ์—ฌ๋ฅผ ํ†ตํ•ด ์‹ฌ์žฅ ํŒ๋ง‰ ์งˆํ™˜์„ ๋ณ‘์› ์‹œ์Šคํ…œ์˜ ํ•ต์‹ฌ ์ง‘์ค‘ ์˜์—ญ์œผ๋กœ ๊ฒฉ์ƒ์‹œํ‚ค๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•œ ๋‹ค๊ฐœ๋…„ ํ”„๋กœ๊ทธ๋žจ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์œ ๋Ÿฝ์˜ ๊ฒฝ์šฐ, 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์‹ค์ ์€ ๊ฒฌ๊ณ ํ•œ ๊ธฐ์ € TAVR ์‹œ์ˆ  ์„ฑ์žฅ๊ณผ ํ•จ๊ป˜ ์ง€์—ญ ์ „๋ฐ˜์— ๊ฑธ์นœ ์ผ๊ด€๋œ ์‹คํ–‰๋ ฅ์„ ๋ฐ˜์˜ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์œ ๋Ÿฝ์‹ฌ์žฅํ•™ํšŒ(European Society of Cardiology)์™€ ์œ ๋Ÿฝ์‹ฌ์žฅํ‰๋ถ€์™ธ๊ณผํ•™ํšŒ(European Association for Cardiothoracic Surgery)์˜ ์—…๋ฐ์ดํŠธ๋œ ๊ฐ€์ด๋“œ๋ผ์ธ์€ ์„ ์ œ์  ์งˆํ™˜ ๊ด€๋ฆฌ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์ž„์ƒ ๋…ผ์˜๋ฅผ ์žฌํŽธํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ๋” ๊ด‘๋ฒ”์œ„ํ•œ ํ™˜์ž๊ตฐ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ TAVR์˜ ์—ญํ• ์„ ๊ฐ•ํ™”ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
We also continue to see modest year-over-year share improvement in several key countries, strengthening our leadership position in the wake of a competitor's exit. In summary for TAVR, we are pleased with our strong Q4 results and full year 2025 performance.

As we look ahead, we are well positioned to continue the momentum and remain focused on driving our patient access strategy, generating additional clinical evidence and delivering on our innovation pipeline to address the growing patient needs across the world. These strengths reinforce our confidence in Edwards' TAVR as a durable growth engine and a meaningful contributor to long-term value creation. Now let's turn to our TMTT product group. Our comprehensive portfolio of repair and replacement therapies offers meaningful opportunities to physicians to best treat their mitral and tricuspid patients.

We were also pleased that for the full year, TMTT sales exceeded $0.5 billion. Continued global adoption of PASCAL and EVOQUE contributed to overall growth. Physicians continue to provide positive feedback on PASCAL's differentiated benefits for treatment of their patients who need transcatheter edge-to-edge repair. With EVOQUE, we are expanding the number of centers and training more physicians while focusing on excellent patient outcomes. The recent FDA approval of SAPIEN M3 expands our mitral portfolio in the U.S. and represents the first transcatheter replacement option suffering from mitral disease.๋˜ํ•œ ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ๊ธฐ์ค€์œผ๋กœ TMTT ๋งค์ถœ์ด 5์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋ฅผ ์ดˆ๊ณผํ•œ ๊ฒƒ์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๊ธฐ์˜๊ฒŒ ์ƒ๊ฐํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Similar to our other therapy launches, the strategic introduction of SAPIEN M3 is leveraging our proven high-value support model and focusing on outstanding clinical outcomes. We are initially opening sites that were previously in our ENCIRCLE pivotal clinical trials and physician interest in this technology is growing. With PASCAL and EVOQUE globally and now with the introduction of SAPIEN M3 in the U.S. and Europe, Edwards continues to deliver on our vision of offering a portfolio of therapies to treat more mitral and tricuspid patients. Overall, PASCAL adoption globally is delivering differentiated outcome for patients.๋‹ค๋ฅธ ์น˜๋ฃŒ๋ฒ• ์ถœ์‹œ์™€ ๋งˆ์ฐฌ๊ฐ€์ง€๋กœ, SAPIEN M3์˜ ์ „๋žต์  ๋„์ž…์€ ๊ฒ€์ฆ๋œ ๊ณ ๋ถ€๊ฐ€๊ฐ€์น˜ ์ง€์› ๋ชจ๋ธ์„ ํ™œ์šฉํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ ํƒ์›”ํ•œ ์ž„์ƒ ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ์— ์ง‘์ค‘ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ดˆ๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ์ด์ „์— ENCIRCLE ์ค‘์ถ” ์ž„์ƒ์‹œํ—˜์— ์ฐธ์—ฌํ–ˆ๋˜ ๊ธฐ๊ด€๋“ค์„ ์ค‘์‹ฌ์œผ๋กœ ๊ฐœ์„คํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด ๊ธฐ์ˆ ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์˜์‚ฌ๋“ค์˜ ๊ด€์‹ฌ์ด ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ „ ์„ธ๊ณ„์ ์œผ๋กœ PASCAL๊ณผ EVOQUE, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ด์ œ ๋ฏธ๊ตญ๊ณผ ์œ ๋Ÿฝ์—์„œ SAPIEN M3์˜ ๋„์ž…์œผ๋กœ, Edwards๋Š” ๋” ๋งŽ์€ ์Šน๋ชจํŒ๋ง‰ ๋ฐ ์‚ผ์ฒจํŒ๋ง‰ ํ™˜์ž๋ฅผ ์น˜๋ฃŒํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•œ ์น˜๋ฃŒ๋ฒ• ํฌํŠธํด๋ฆฌ์˜ค๋ฅผ ์ œ๊ณตํ•˜๊ฒ ๋‹ค๋Š” ๋น„์ „์„ ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ์‹คํ˜„ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ „๋ฐ˜์ ์œผ๋กœ PASCAL์˜ ์ „ ์„ธ๊ณ„์  ๋„์ž…์€ ํ™˜์ž๋“ค์—๊ฒŒ ์ฐจ๋ณ„ํ™”๋œ ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ์ œ๊ณตํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
The introduction of next gen PASCAL in Q4 will further distinguish this important therapy for patients who need edge-to-edge repair. The upcoming U.S. approval of PASCAL for tricuspid patients will provide an enhanced therapy alternative. And the scaling of EVOQUE and launch of SAPIEN M3 will further advance treatment for tricuspid and mitral patients. This represents multiyear growth opportunities starting in 2026 and contributing to achieving $2 billion of revenue in 2030 and additional growth beyond. Finally, this year, we continue to expect sales in the range of $740 million to $780 million.4๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ์ฐจ์„ธ๋Œ€ PASCAL์˜ ์ถœ์‹œ๋Š” edge-to-edge ์น˜๋ฃŒ๊ฐ€ ํ•„์š”ํ•œ ํ™˜์ž๋“ค์„ ์œ„ํ•œ ์ด ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ์น˜๋ฃŒ๋ฒ•์„ ๋”์šฑ ์ฐจ๋ณ„ํ™”ํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ณง ์žˆ์„ ์‚ผ์ฒจํŒ ํ™˜์ž๋ฅผ ์œ„ํ•œ PASCAL์˜ ๋ฏธ๊ตญ ์Šน์ธ์€ ํ–ฅ์ƒ๋œ ์น˜๋ฃŒ ๋Œ€์•ˆ์„ ์ œ๊ณตํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  EVOQUE์˜ ํ™•๋Œ€์™€ SAPIEN M3์˜ ์ถœ์‹œ๋Š” ์‚ผ์ฒจํŒ ๋ฐ ์Šน๋ชจํŒ ํ™˜์ž๋“ค์„ ์œ„ํ•œ ์น˜๋ฃŒ๋ฅผ ๋”์šฑ ๋ฐœ์ „์‹œํ‚ฌ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” 2026๋…„๋ถ€ํ„ฐ ์‹œ์ž‘ํ•˜์—ฌ 2030๋…„ ๋งค์ถœ 20์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ๋‹ฌ์„ฑ์— ๊ธฐ์—ฌํ•˜๊ณ  ๊ทธ ์ดํ›„์—๋„ ์ถ”๊ฐ€ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ์ด์–ด๊ฐˆ ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ๋‹ค๋…„๊ฐ„์˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ ๊ธฐํšŒ๋ฅผ ์˜๋ฏธํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋งˆ์ง€๋ง‰์œผ๋กœ, ์˜ฌํ•ด ๋งค์ถœ์€ 7์–ต 4์ฒœ๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์—์„œ 7์–ต 8์ฒœ๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ๋ฒ”์œ„๋ฅผ ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
In our Surgical product group, fourth quarter global sales of $254 million increased 2% over the prior year. The underlying fundamentals of our Surgical product group remains strong while growth in Q4 was impacted by end of year distributor inventory adjustments in one country. Full year surgical sales grew 4.3% and for the first time, exceeded $1 billion. We continue to expect mid-single-digit sales growth rate in Surgical in 2026, driven by continued adoption of our RESILIA therapies that offer extended durability of our surgical therapies, including INSPIRIS, KONECT and MITRIS.๋‹น์‚ฌ์˜ ์™ธ๊ณผ ์ œํ’ˆ๊ตฐ(Surgical product group)์—์„œ 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๊ธ€๋กœ๋ฒŒ ๋งค์ถœ์€ 2์–ต 5,400๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋กœ ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ 2% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์™ธ๊ณผ ์ œํ’ˆ๊ตฐ์˜ ๊ธฐ๋ณธ์ ์ธ ํŽ€๋”๋ฉ˜ํ„ธ์€ ๊ฒฌ์กฐํ•˜๊ฒŒ ์œ ์ง€๋˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋‚˜, 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์„ฑ์žฅ๋ฅ ์€ ํ•œ ๊ตญ๊ฐ€์—์„œ์˜ ์—ฐ๋ง ์œ ํ†ต์—…์ฒด ์žฌ๊ณ  ์กฐ์ •์œผ๋กœ ์ธํ•ด ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฐ›์•˜์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ์™ธ๊ณผ ๋งค์ถœ์€ 4.3% ์„ฑ์žฅํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ฒ˜์Œ์œผ๋กœ 10์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋ฅผ ๋ŒํŒŒํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹น์‚ฌ๋Š” INSPIRIS, KONECT, MITRIS๋ฅผ ํฌํ•จํ•œ ์™ธ๊ณผ ์น˜๋ฃŒ์ œ์˜ ๋‚ด๊ตฌ์„ฑ์„ ์—ฐ์žฅํ•˜๋Š” RESILIA ์น˜๋ฃŒ๋ฒ•์˜ ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ์ฑ„ํƒ์— ํž˜์ž…์–ด 2026๋…„ ์™ธ๊ณผ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์—์„œ ์ค‘๊ฐ„ ํ•œ ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜(mid-single-digit) ๋งค์ถœ ์„ฑ์žฅ๋ฅ ์„ ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ๊ธฐ๋Œ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
We were encouraged by new data presented at the recent STS meeting, including strong 1-year data from the MOMENTIS study. MOMENTIS is studying long-term durability for the Edwards' MITRIS systems for surgical mitral valve replacement and 1-year result from the study demonstrated 100% freedom from SVD, impressive stable hemodynamic performance and excellent safety. This specifically designed surgical valve customized for mitral patients will advance and improve care. We are also pursuing multiple new innovation to advance surgical solutions for patients, including left atrial appendage closure or LAAC.์ตœ๊ทผ STS ํ•™ํšŒ์—์„œ ๋ฐœํ‘œ๋œ ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ, ํŠนํžˆ MOMENTIS ์—ฐ๊ตฌ์˜ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ 1๋…„ ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ์— ๊ณ ๋ฌด๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

This is a new therapeutic area that is a complementary solution to specific valvular procedures and we are planning on a preliminary introduction of our new surgical LAAC technology later this year. In summary, we still expect to deliver our mid-single-digit sales growth rate guidance in 2026. And finally, we are looking forward to seeing 10-year data from our COMMENCE trial at the ATS conference in May, studying long-term durability of our best-in-class RESILIA tissue. And now Scott will cover the details of the company's financial performance. Scott Ullem

๊ฐ์‚ฌํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค, Bernard.
Today, I will provide a wrap-up of 2025, including detailed results of our fourth quarter and guidance for the first quarter and full year 2026. We were pleased with our better-than-expected Q4 sales performance with strength across all product groups. Total sales of $1.57 billion grew 11.6% year-over-year. Our adjusted earnings per share was $0.58, this lower-than-expected EPS was driven by higher spending on patient access initiatives and a higher-than-expected tax rate. It is important to note that we have increased confidence in our 2026 earnings per share guidance of $2.90 to $3.05.์˜ค๋Š˜์€ 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์ƒ์„ธ ์‹ค์ ๊ณผ 2026๋…„ 1๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋ฐ ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค๋ฅผ ํฌํ•จํ•œ 2025๋…„ ์ด๊ด„ ๋‚ด์šฉ์„ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ชจ๋“  ์ œํ’ˆ๊ตฐ์—์„œ ๊ฐ•์„ธ๋ฅผ ๋ณด์ด๋ฉฐ ์˜ˆ์ƒ์„ ์ƒํšŒํ•œ 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋งค์ถœ ์‹ค์ ์— ๋งŒ์กฑ์Šค๋Ÿฝ๊ฒŒ ์ƒ๊ฐํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋งค์ถœ์€ 15์–ต 7์ฒœ๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋กœ ์ „๋…„ ๋™๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ 11.6% ์„ฑ์žฅํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์กฐ์ • ์ฃผ๋‹น์ˆœ์ด์ต(EPS)์€ 0.58๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋ฅผ ๊ธฐ๋กํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์˜ˆ์ƒ์น˜ ํ•˜ํšŒ EPS๋Š” ํ™˜์ž ์ ‘๊ทผ์„ฑ ๊ฐœ์„  ์‚ฌ์—…์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์ง€์ถœ ์ฆ๊ฐ€์™€ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋ณด๋‹ค ๋†’์€ ์„ธ์œจ์— ๊ธฐ์ธํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ์ ์€ ๋‹น์‚ฌ๊ฐ€ 2026๋…„ ์ฃผ๋‹น์ˆœ์ด์ต ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค์ธ 2.90๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์—์„œ 3.05๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ํ™•์‹ ์ด ๋†’์•„์กŒ๋‹ค๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Our GAAP EPS for the quarter was $0.11, which included onetime charges related to the JenaValve acquisition that did not close as well as litigation expenses. A full reconciliation between our GAAP and adjusted EPS for this and other items is included with today's release. And now I'll cover additional details of our P&L. For the fourth quarter, our adjusted gross profit margin was 78.3%, in line with our expectations compared to 79.0% in the same period last year. This expected year-over-year change was driven by additional manufacturing expenses related to the fast expansion of new therapies.๋‹น์‚ฌ์˜ 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ GAAP ์ฃผ๋‹น์ˆœ์ด์ต์€ 0.11๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์˜€์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์—ฌ๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ์„ฑ์‚ฌ๋˜์ง€ ์•Š์€ JenaValve ์ธ์ˆ˜ ๊ด€๋ จ ์ผํšŒ์„ฑ ๋น„์šฉ๊ณผ ์†Œ์†ก ๋น„์šฉ์ด ํฌํ•จ๋˜์–ด ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋ฒˆ ๊ฑด๊ณผ ๊ธฐํƒ€ ํ•ญ๋ชฉ๋“ค์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ GAAP์™€ ์กฐ์ • ์ฃผ๋‹น์ˆœ์ด์ต ๊ฐ„์˜ ์ „์ฒด ์กฐ์ •๋‚ด์—ญ์€ ์˜ค๋Š˜ ๋ฐœํ‘œ์ž๋ฃŒ์— ํฌํ•จ๋˜์–ด ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด์ œ ์†์ต๊ณ„์‚ฐ์„œ์˜ ์ถ”๊ฐ€ ์„ธ๋ถ€์‚ฌํ•ญ์„ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์กฐ์ • ๋งค์ถœ์ด์ด์ต๋ฅ ์€ 78.3%๋กœ ๋‹น์‚ฌ์˜ ์˜ˆ์ƒ์น˜์— ๋ถ€ํ•ฉํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ „๋…„ ๋™๊ธฐ 79.0%์™€ ๋น„๊ต๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ ๋ณ€ํ™”๋Š” ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋œ ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ, ์‹ ๊ทœ ์น˜๋ฃŒ๋ฒ•์˜ ๋น ๋ฅธ ํ™•๋Œ€์™€ ๊ด€๋ จ๋œ ์ถ”๊ฐ€ ์ œ์กฐ๋น„์šฉ์— ๊ธฐ์ธํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
We continue to expect our full year 2026 adjusted gross profit margin to be within our original guidance range of 78% to 79%. Selling, general and administrative expense in the quarter was $603 million or 38% of sales compared to 35% of sales in the prior year. We increased SG&A spending in the fourth quarter to fund strategic investments in order to amplify patient access to therapy, such as early TAVR education, investment in field resources and the AHA heart valve initiative. Some of the strategic spending was delayed from previous quarters in the year.๋‹น์‚ฌ๋Š” 2026 ํšŒ๊ณ„์—ฐ๋„ ์ „์ฒด ์กฐ์ • ๋งค์ถœ์ด์ด์ต๋ฅ ์ด ๊ธฐ์กด ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค ๋ฒ”์œ„์ธ 78%~79% ๋‚ด์— ์žˆ์„ ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ๊ณ„์† ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹น๋ถ„๊ธฐ ํŒ๋งค๊ด€๋ฆฌ๋น„๋Š” 6์–ต 3๋ฐฑ๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋กœ ๋งค์ถœ์˜ 38%๋ฅผ ์ฐจ์ง€ํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์ „๋…„๋„ ๋งค์ถœ์˜ 35%์™€ ๋น„๊ต๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹น์‚ฌ๋Š” 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ์กฐ๊ธฐ TAVR ๊ต์œก, ํ˜„์žฅ ์ธ๋ ฅ ํˆฌ์ž, AHA ์‹ฌ์žฅํŒ๋ง‰ ์ด๋‹ˆ์…”ํ‹ฐ๋ธŒ ๋“ฑ ํ™˜์ž์˜ ์น˜๋ฃŒ ์ ‘๊ทผ์„ฑ์„ ํ™•๋Œ€ํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•œ ์ „๋žต์  ํˆฌ์ž ์žฌ์›์„ ๋งˆ๋ จํ•˜๊ณ ์ž ํŒ๋งค๊ด€๋ฆฌ๋น„ ์ง€์ถœ์„ ์ฆ๊ฐ€์‹œ์ผฐ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ผ๋ถ€ ์ „๋žต์  ์ง€์ถœ์€ ์—ฐ์ค‘ ์ด์ „ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ์—์„œ ์ง€์—ฐ๋œ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Research and development expense was $268 million in the fourth quarter or 17.1% of sales compared to $271 million or 19.6% of sales in the same period last year. This decrease in R&D as a percentage of sales reflects our strategic prioritization of investments in our expanding structural heart portfolio. We continue to expect 2026 R&D as a percentage of sales to be approximately 17%. Fourth quarter adjusted operating profit margin of 23.7% was aligned with our previous guidance of mid-20%.

For 2026, we expect approximately 150 basis points constant currency operating margin expansion, which includes less spending related to removing JenaValve from our operating plans for the year. We continue to plan for 50 to 100 basis points of operating margin expansion annually on average in 2027 and beyond. We continue to plan to deliver leveraged earnings per share. Turning to taxes. Our reported tax rate this quarter was 29% or 17.9%, excluding the impact of special items, which was above our expectation for the quarter, driven by Pillar Two impact and country income mix. We continue to expect our 2026 tax rate, excluding special items, to be between 16% and 19%.2026๋…„์—๋Š” ์•ฝ 150bp์˜ ๊ณ ์ •ํ™˜์œจ ๊ธฐ์ค€ ์˜์—…์ด์ต๋ฅ  ๊ฐœ์„ ์„ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” JenaValve๋ฅผ ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ์šด์˜ ๊ณ„ํš์—์„œ ์ œ์™ธํ•จ์— ๋”ฐ๋ฅธ ์ง€์ถœ ๊ฐ์†Œ๋ฅผ ํฌํ•จํ•œ ์ˆ˜์น˜์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2027๋…„ ์ดํ›„์—๋„ ์—ฐํ‰๊ท  50~100bp์˜ ์˜์—…์ด์ต๋ฅ  ๊ฐœ์„ ์„ ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ๊ณ„ํšํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ ˆ๋ฒ„๋ฆฌ์ง€ ํšจ๊ณผ๊ฐ€ ๋ฐ˜์˜๋œ ์ฃผ๋‹น์ˆœ์ด์ต ๋‹ฌ์„ฑ์„ ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ๊ณ„ํšํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Turning to the balance sheet. We continue to maintain a strong and flexible balance sheet with approximately $3 billion in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31. Edwards currently has approximately $2 billion remaining under its share repurchase authorization. Average diluted shares outstanding during the quarter were 582 million. We continue to expect average diluted shares outstanding for 2026 to be between 580 million to 585 million. Foreign exchange rates increased fourth quarter reported sales growth by 170 basis points or $20 million compared to the prior year. FX rates had minimal impact on our fourth quarter gross profit margin compared to the prior year.๋Œ€์ฐจ๋Œ€์กฐํ‘œ๋ฅผ ์‚ดํŽด๋ณด๋ฉด, 12์›” 31์ผ ๊ธฐ์ค€ ์•ฝ 30์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์˜ ํ˜„๊ธˆ ๋ฐ ํ˜„๊ธˆ์„ฑ์ž์‚ฐ์„ ๋ณด์œ ํ•˜๋ฉฐ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•˜๊ณ  ์œ ์—ฐํ•œ ๋Œ€์ฐจ๋Œ€์กฐํ‘œ๋ฅผ ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ์œ ์ง€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Relative to our October guidance, FX rates had a nominal impact on fourth quarter earnings per share. At current rates, we now expect FX to have an approximately $40 million upside to full year 2026 sales compared to the prior year. I'll finish with comments related to our outlook. We have increased confidence in meeting our 2026 full year sales growth rate guidance of 8% to 10% and earnings per share guidance of $2.90 to $3.05. The product group sales guidance we provided at Investor conference remains unchanged. For the first quarter, we're projecting sales of $1.55 billion to $1.63 billion.10์›” ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค ๋Œ€๋น„ ํ™˜์œจ ๋ณ€๋™์€ 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์ฃผ๋‹น์ˆœ์ด์ต์— ๋ฏธ๋ฏธํ•œ ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฏธ์ณค์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ˜„์žฌ ํ™˜์œจ ๊ธฐ์ค€์œผ๋กœ, 2026 ํšŒ๊ณ„์—ฐ๋„ ์ „์ฒด ๋งค์ถœ์— ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ ์•ฝ 4์ฒœ๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์˜ ๊ธ์ •์  ์˜ํ–ฅ์ด ์žˆ์„ ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ „๋ง์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์ฝ”๋ฉ˜ํŠธ๋กœ ๋งˆ๋ฌด๋ฆฌํ•˜๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹น์‚ฌ๋Š” 2026 ํšŒ๊ณ„์—ฐ๋„ ์ „์ฒด ๋งค์ถœ ์„ฑ์žฅ๋ฅ  ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค 8%~10% ๋ฐ ์ฃผ๋‹น์ˆœ์ด์ต ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค $2.90~$3.05 ๋‹ฌ์„ฑ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ํ™•์‹ ์ด ๋†’์•„์กŒ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํˆฌ์ž์ž ์ปจํผ๋Ÿฐ์Šค์—์„œ ์ œ์‹œํ•œ ์ œํ’ˆ๊ตฐ๋ณ„ ๋งค์ถœ ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค๋Š” ๋ณ€๋™ ์—†์ด ์œ ์ง€๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 1๋ถ„๊ธฐ์˜ ๊ฒฝ์šฐ ๋งค์ถœ์„ 15์–ต 5์ฒœ๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์—์„œ 16์–ต 3์ฒœ๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋กœ ์ „๋งํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
We expect slightly higher growth rates in the first half of 2026, following unusual summer seasonality that benefited 2025. We are expecting adjusted EPS in Q1 of $0.70 to $0.76, representing mid-teens growth at the midpoint of that range. And with that, I'll pass it back to Bernard. Bernard Zovighian

Robert Marcus: JPMorgan Chase & Co, Research Division Great. Congrats on a good quarter. Two for me. First, maybe just on TAVR, 10.6%, another very strong quarter. I would have to imagine you're taking some share even excluding the Boston Scientific exit. So maybe just speak to the strength you're seeing, the confidence in it and any regional differences? And just one thing, if you can talk to volumes versus sales.

CEO & Director: Thanks, Robbie. Good afternoon, everyone. Yes, one is we are very pleased about the quarter overall in the year for Edwards. With regards to TAVR, very pleased about the quarter. Like you said, we're growing 10.6% year-over-year. And what we see is truly the results of our strategy here, where last year, we brought a very compelling evidence, EARLY TAVR, PARTNER III, 7 years, PARTNER II, 10 years. And all of this gave confidence. All of this also enabled a renewed focus on TAVR as a category and specifically the SAPIEN platform. So this is creating the physicians to talk more about TAVR, to talk more about SAPIEN. This is enabling a physician to treat their patients a little bit early. This is also enabling providers to prioritize TAVR. So it is all of that together, but I'm going to ask you, Dan, to give you more specific details about the quarter.**CEO & Director:** ๊ฐ์‚ฌํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค, Robbie. ์—ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋ถ„ ์•ˆ๋…•ํ•˜์„ธ์š”. ๋„ค, ๋จผ์ € ์ด๋ฒˆ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ์™€ ์˜ฌํ•ด Edwards์˜ ์ „๋ฐ˜์ ์ธ ์‹ค์ ์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๋งค์šฐ ๋งŒ์กฑ์Šค๋Ÿฝ๊ฒŒ ์ƒ๊ฐํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Daniel Lippis: Corporate Vice President of JAPAC (Japan, Greater China & Asia Pacific) Yes. Thanks, Bernard. And Robbie, you're spot on, right? Like the overall procedural growth rate in the quarter was in the high single digit. And so there is a gap. And you're absolutely on the money as far as share gain and pricing contributing to that gap. Largely on the share perspective, I mean, the share gain that we had from the Boston Scientific exit, contributed a big chunk of that. We are pleased to see the stickiness of that share gain from quarter 3 to quarter 4. We took our piece of that. But most of the competitors in Europe also benefited from Boston's exit. I would say that we benefited about in line with our competitive position in the market. But if you look at globally, like overall, our competitive position remains relatively stable, I would say. I mean, for sure, we're not weaker in Q4 than we were in Q3. But another piece of this is S3UR penetration, right? And we continue to see very strong adoption of this outstanding platform, a lot of positive feedback from physicians.

Robert Marcus: JPMorgan Chase & Co, Research Division Great. Maybe, Scott, just if you could talk to the increased spend on market access, you highlighted in fourth quarter, step up in SG&A was roughly $100 million, which is pretty substantial. So maybe just dig into that, where did the spending go? And how should we think about that rolling in? Do we think of that as onetime cost?**Robert Marcus:** ๋„ค, ์ข‹์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์Šค์ฝง, 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ๊ฐ•์กฐํ•˜์…จ๋˜ ์‹œ์žฅ ์ ‘๊ทผ์„ฑ ๊ด€๋ จ ์ง€์ถœ ์ฆ๊ฐ€์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๋ง์”€ํ•ด ์ฃผ์‹œ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๊นŒ? ํŒ๋งค๊ด€๋ฆฌ๋น„๊ฐ€ ์•ฝ 1์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ๋Š”๋ฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์ƒ๋‹นํžˆ ํฐ ๊ทœ๋ชจ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ž˜์„œ ์ข€ ๋” ์ž์„ธํžˆ ์„ค๋ช…ํ•ด ์ฃผ์‹œ๋ฉด ์ข‹๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ง€์ถœ์ด ์–ด๋””์— ์‚ฌ์šฉ๋˜์—ˆ๋‚˜์š”? ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ด๊ฒƒ์ด ์•ž์œผ๋กœ ์–ด๋–ป๊ฒŒ ๋ฐ˜์˜๋ ์ง€ ์–ด๋–ป๊ฒŒ ์ƒ๊ฐํ•ด์•ผ ํ• ๊นŒ์š”? ์ผํšŒ์„ฑ ๋น„์šฉ์œผ๋กœ ๋ด์•ผ ํ• ๊นŒ์š”?
Scott Ullem: Corporate VP & CFO Yes. Thanks, Robbie. I appreciate the question. We had planned a step-up in the fourth quarter spending, and we decided to be aggressive in light of the reception we were getting to the things Bernard mentioned earlier, the asymptomatic trial, the 7-year results, the 10-year results. And so we intentionally upped their spending in the fourth quarter, $112 million year-over-year. We were still in operating margin terms in the area that we had expected for the fourth quarter. So we had said mid-20% and that was sort of in the range of where we came in. We invested more aggressively in patient access. So asymptomatic amplification. Bernard mentioned the American Heart Association partnership. We've also been reinforcing our field force in THV and also in TMTT. Some of the spending was delayed from earlier quarters in 2025. So following this elevated level of spending in Q4, we are planning a more moderated operating expense growth and SG&A expense growth in 2026, which is how we get to the operating margin guidance of the high end of our original 28% to 29%. The other benefit in that margin increase or margin expansion is the exclusion of the original spending that we had planned for JenaValve. Maybe, Dan, do you want to talk a little bit more about some of these initiatives?**Scott Ullem:** ๋„ค, ๊ฐ์‚ฌํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค, ๋กœ๋น„. ์งˆ๋ฌธ ์ฃผ์…”์„œ ๊ณ ๋ง™์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ๋Š” 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ์ง€์ถœ ์ฆ๊ฐ€๋ฅผ ๊ณ„ํšํ–ˆ์—ˆ๊ณ , ๋ฒ„๋‚˜๋“œ๊ฐ€ ์•ž์„œ ์–ธ๊ธ‰ํ•œ ๋ฌด์ฆ์ƒ ์ž„์ƒ์‹œํ—˜, 7๋…„ ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ, 10๋…„ ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ ๋“ฑ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์‹œ์žฅ์˜ ๋ฐ˜์‘์„ ๊ณ ๋ คํ•ด ๊ณต๊ฒฉ์ ์œผ๋กœ ํˆฌ์žํ•˜๊ธฐ๋กœ ๊ฒฐ์ •ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ž˜์„œ ์˜๋„์ ์œผ๋กœ 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์ง€์ถœ์„ ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ 1์–ต 1,200๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ๋Š˜๋ ธ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋Ÿผ์—๋„ ๋ถˆ๊ตฌํ•˜๊ณ  ์˜์—…์ด์ต๋ฅ  ์ธก๋ฉด์—์„œ๋Š” 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ์˜ˆ์ƒํ–ˆ๋˜ ๋ฒ”์œ„ ๋‚ด์— ์žˆ์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 20% ์ค‘๋ฐ˜๋Œ€๋ฅผ ์ œ์‹œํ–ˆ์—ˆ๊ณ , ์‹ค์ œ๋กœ๋„ ๊ทธ ๋ฒ”์œ„ ์•ˆ์—์„œ ๋‹ฌ์„ฑํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ™˜์ž ์ ‘๊ทผ์„ฑ์— ๋”์šฑ ์ ๊ทน์ ์œผ๋กœ ํˆฌ์žํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ฌด์ฆ์ƒ ํ™˜์ž๊ตฐ ํ™•๋Œ€ ๋ถ€๋ถ„์ด์ฃ . ๋ฒ„๋‚˜๋“œ๊ฐ€ ์–ธ๊ธ‰ํ•œ ๋ฏธ๊ตญ์‹ฌ์žฅํ˜‘ํšŒ ํŒŒํŠธ๋„ˆ์‹ญ๋„ ์žˆ๊ณ ์š”.

Daniel Lippis: Corporate Vice President of JAPAC (Japan, Greater China & Asia Pacific) Yes. I think like a couple of big ones here, right? So with the change in the European guidelines. This is the biggest shift that we've seen in over 10 years. And it's a real important shift from watchful waiting to intentional and urgent treatment of severe aortic stenosis earlier in the disease pathway. This is a big shift. It involves change management and change of behavior, particularly at the referral level. And so we see an opportunity here to bend the curve of adoption of these guideline changes. And so we have a number of significant amplification programs that we have started and started to implement in Europe. This is a big one. Second one, as Scott and Bernard mentioned, our partnership with the AHA. This is an important one, and this is a multiyear partnership, and it's designed to do the same thing, democratize and educate on the importance of treating earlier in the disease pathway for aortic stenosis. And so this is all designed to improve diagnosis and treatment of severe AS through guideline-based care, through extended data collection, but also heavy on education. And so these are two big ones. We also invested further in some of the sort of short-range pilot stage marketing programs to improve treatment rates and patient and referral education in the United States and like Scott said, there are some field -- we're very much a high-touch field clinical field force and with volumes increasing, we need to get ahead of those resources in the field. They take time. They take time to train and get people certified. So we got ahead a little bit of that, but also a big chunk we got behind early in the year and a lot of that caught up with us in Q4. So they are the big items.**Daniel Lippis:** ๋„ค, ๋ช‡ ๊ฐ€์ง€ ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ์‚ฌํ•ญ๋“ค์ด ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋จผ์ € ์œ ๋Ÿฝ ๊ฐ€์ด๋“œ๋ผ์ธ ๋ณ€๊ฒฝ๊ณผ ๊ด€๋ จํ•ด์„œ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๋ฉด, ์ด๋ฒˆ ๋ณ€ํ™”๋Š” ์ง€๋‚œ 10๋…„ ์ด์ƒ ์ค‘์—์„œ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ํฐ ๋ณ€ํ™”์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ค‘์ฆ ๋Œ€๋™๋งฅ ํŒ๋ง‰ ํ˜‘์ฐฉ์ฆ(severe aortic stenosis)์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ์‹ ์ค‘ํ•œ ๊ด€์ฐฐ์—์„œ ์งˆ๋ณ‘ ๊ฒฝ๋กœ ์ดˆ๊ธฐ ๋‹จ๊ณ„์—์„œ์˜ ์˜๋„์ ์ด๊ณ  ๊ธด๊ธ‰ํ•œ ์น˜๋ฃŒ๋กœ์˜ ์ „ํ™˜์ด๋ผ๋Š” ์ ์—์„œ ์ •๋ง ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ๋ณ€ํ™”์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์ƒ๋‹นํ•œ ๋ณ€ํ™”์ด๋ฉฐ, ํŠนํžˆ ์˜๋ขฐ ๋‹จ๊ณ„์—์„œ ๋ณ€ํ™” ๊ด€๋ฆฌ์™€ ํ–‰๋™ ๋ณ€ํ™”๊ฐ€ ํ•„์š”ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ž˜์„œ ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๊ฐ€์ด๋“œ๋ผ์ธ ๋ณ€๊ฒฝ์˜ ์ฑ„ํƒ ๊ณก์„ ์„ ๊ฐ€์†ํ™”ํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ๊ธฐํšŒ๋ฅผ ๋ณด๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋ฅผ ์œ„ํ•ด ์œ ๋Ÿฝ์—์„œ ์—ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ํ™•๋Œ€ ํ”„๋กœ๊ทธ๋žจ๋“ค์„ ์‹œ์ž‘ํ–ˆ๊ณ  ํ˜„์žฌ ์‹คํ–‰ ์ค‘์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๊ฒƒ์ด ์ฒซ ๋ฒˆ์งธ ํฐ ์‚ฌํ•ญ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‘ ๋ฒˆ์งธ๋กœ๋Š” Scott๊ณผ Bernard๊ฐ€ ์–ธ๊ธ‰ํ•œ AHA(๋ฏธ๊ตญ์‹ฌ์žฅํ˜‘ํšŒ)์™€์˜ ํŒŒํŠธ๋„ˆ์‹ญ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๊ฒƒ์€ ๋งค์šฐ ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ์‚ฌ์•ˆ์ด๋ฉฐ, ๋‹ค๋…„๊ฐ„์˜ ํŒŒํŠธ๋„ˆ์‹ญ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด ํŒŒํŠธ๋„ˆ์‹ญ์˜ ๋ชฉ์ ๋„ ๋™์ผํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋Œ€๋™๋งฅ ํ˜‘์ฐฉ์ฆ์˜ ์งˆ๋ณ‘ ๊ฒฝ๋กœ์—์„œ ์กฐ๊ธฐ ์น˜๋ฃŒ์˜ ์ค‘์š”์„ฑ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ๋Œ€์ค‘ํ™”์™€ ๊ต์œก์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด ๋ชจ๋“  ๊ฒƒ์€ ๊ฐ€์ด๋“œ๋ผ์ธ ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜ ์น˜๋ฃŒ์™€ ํ™•์žฅ๋œ ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ ์ˆ˜์ง‘์„ ํ†ตํ•ด ์ค‘์ฆ ๋Œ€๋™๋งฅ ํ˜‘์ฐฉ์ฆ์˜ ์ง„๋‹จ๊ณผ ์น˜๋ฃŒ๋ฅผ ๊ฐœ์„ ํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด ์„ค๊ณ„๋˜์—ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ํŠนํžˆ ๊ต์œก์— ์ค‘์ ์„ ๋‘๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด ๋‘ ๊ฐ€์ง€๊ฐ€ ํฐ ํˆฌ์ž ํ•ญ๋ชฉ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Scott Ullem: Corporate VP & CFO Thanks, Travis. Yes. So I mentioned that we expect about $40 million of tailwind from FX to sales. This has changed since our investor conference. A lot of that falls in the first quarter. And so we're expecting Q1 sales growth on a reported basis to be about 300 basis points higher than the underlying growth that we are expecting in Q1. Now remember, the first half growth rates in 2026 should be higher than the second half growth rates.

Daniel Lippis: Corporate Vice President of JAPAC (Japan, Greater China & Asia Pacific) Yes. Thanks, Scott. Travis, yes, it's true. The growth rate in our guidance moves down a little bit over the course of this year. As previously, we guided that the front half will be stronger than the back half in '26, and this is because we have much tougher, much higher year-over-year comps in the second half. We also applied classical seasonality and other assumptions to the year that weren't the case in 2025. That makes it a little bit more of a challenge. But the Q4 results that we had in 2025 give us increased confidence in our 6% to 8% guidance, and this is really important. On top of that, we have these meaningful tailwinds and catalysts later in the year that give us confidence in the mid- to-high single digit beyond 2026.**Daniel Lippis:** ๋„ค, ๊ฐ์‚ฌํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค, Scott.

Travis Steed: BofA Securities, Research Division Got it. And then I have a follow-up on the TAVR NCD. You called it a potential tailwind later this year. Just wanted to kind of think about how you're seeing that help growth more centers, faster patient pathways and if you read the public comments, they're all mostly positive on expanding the indication, but there's a bit more debate on the care team. So curious if you think how that shapes up in the final and how that might impact the different scenarios you're thinking about?**Travis Steed:** ์•Œ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  TAVR NCD ๊ด€๋ จํ•ด์„œ ์ถ”๊ฐ€ ์งˆ๋ฌธ์ด ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์˜ฌํ•ด ํ›„๋ฐ˜ ์ž ์žฌ์  ์ˆœํ’ ์š”์ธ์ด ๋  ๊ฒƒ์ด๋ผ๊ณ  ๋ง์”€ํ•˜์…จ๋Š”๋ฐ์š”. ์ด๊ฒƒ์ด ์–ด๋–ป๊ฒŒ ์„ฑ์žฅ์— ๋„์›€์ด ๋ ์ง€ ์ƒ๊ฐํ•ด๋ณด๊ณ  ์‹ถ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋” ๋งŽ์€ ์„ผํ„ฐ, ๋” ๋น ๋ฅธ ํ™˜์ž ๊ฒฝ๋กœ๋ฅผ ์˜๋ฏธํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฑด์ง€์š”. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ๊ณต๊ฐœ ์˜๊ฒฌ๋“ค์„ ๋ณด๋ฉด ์ ์‘์ฆ ํ™•๋Œ€์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด์„œ๋Š” ๋Œ€๋ถ€๋ถ„ ๊ธ์ •์ ์ด์ง€๋งŒ, ์น˜๋ฃŒํŒ€ ๊ตฌ์„ฑ์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด์„œ๋Š” ๋‹ค์†Œ ๋…ผ์Ÿ์ด ์žˆ๋Š” ๊ฒƒ ๊ฐ™์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ตœ์ข…์•ˆ์—์„œ ์ด ๋ถ€๋ถ„์ด ์–ด๋–ป๊ฒŒ ์ •๋ฆฌ๋  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ๋ณด์‹œ๋Š”์ง€, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ๊ทธ๊ฒƒ์ด ๊ท€์‚ฌ๊ฐ€ ์ƒ๊ฐํ•˜๊ณ  ๊ณ„์‹  ์—ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์‹œ๋‚˜๋ฆฌ์˜ค์— ์–ด๋–ค ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฏธ์น  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์„์ง€ ๊ถ๊ธˆํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Daniel Lippis: Corporate Vice President of JAPAC (Japan, Greater China & Asia Pacific) Yes. So I'll take this one. I think, obviously, it's very, very important. The first phase -- first of all, it's important that the process was formally reopened. That was really important that happened right before the end of the year. And the first phase is now over, as Bernard mentioned. So we expect the initial draft around the June time frame. There will be a second round of public commentary at that point. And then assuming that the normal CMS process follows, the final determination could be in the Q4 time frame. So if you think about impact for 2026, negligible, but probably important and more relevant in 2027 and beyond. Now the key priority areas for us is to ensure timely and equitable access to care for patients, right? And the big win for patients would be coverage to label and any changes that may reduce procedural complexity or help improve equitable access to care. So that's what we're focused on. But we need to see what the draft looks like, and we look forward to the process continuing. And like you mentioned, we're also pleased that most of the commentary was positive and largely in line with our thinking.**Daniel Lippis:** ๋„ค, ์ œ๊ฐ€ ๋‹ต๋ณ€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด ๊ณผ์ •์ด ๊ณต์‹์ ์œผ๋กœ ์žฌ๊ฐœ๋œ ๊ฒƒ์ด ๋งค์šฐ ์ค‘์š”ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์—ฐ๋ง ์ง์ „์— ์ด๋ฃจ์–ด์ง„ ๊ฒƒ์ด ์ •๋ง ์ค‘์š”ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ๋ฒ„๋‚˜๋“œ๊ฐ€ ์–ธ๊ธ‰ํ–ˆ๋“ฏ์ด 1์ฐจ ๋‹จ๊ณ„๊ฐ€ ์ด์ œ ์ข…๋ฃŒ๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋”ฐ๋ผ์„œ 6์›” ๊ฒฝ์— ์ดˆ์•ˆ์ด ๋‚˜์˜ฌ ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ ์‹œ์ ์— 2์ฐจ ๊ณต๊ฐœ ์˜๊ฒฌ ์ˆ˜๋ ด์ด ์žˆ์„ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ •์ƒ์ ์ธ CMS ํ”„๋กœ์„ธ์Šค๊ฐ€ ์ง„ํ–‰๋œ๋‹ค๊ณ  ๊ฐ€์ •ํ•˜๋ฉด, ์ตœ์ข… ๊ฒฐ์ •์€ 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๊ฒฝ์— ๋‚˜์˜ฌ ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2026๋…„ ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ์ƒ๊ฐํ•ด๋ณด๋ฉด ๋ฏธ๋ฏธํ•œ ์ˆ˜์ค€์ด์ง€๋งŒ, 2027๋…„๊ณผ ๊ทธ ์ดํ›„์—๋Š” ์ค‘์š”ํ•˜๊ณ  ๋” ์˜๋ฏธ์žˆ๋Š” ์˜ํ–ฅ์ด ์žˆ์„ ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ๋ด…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ˜„์žฌ ์ €ํฌ์˜ ํ•ต์‹ฌ ์šฐ์„ ์ˆœ์œ„๋Š” ํ™˜์ž๋“ค์ด ์ ์‹œ์— ๊ณตํ‰ํ•˜๊ฒŒ ์น˜๋ฃŒ๋ฅผ ๋ฐ›์„ ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋„๋ก ๋ณด์žฅํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ™˜์ž๋“ค์—๊ฒŒ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ํฐ ์„ฑ๊ณผ๋Š” ๋ผ๋ฒจ ๋ฒ”์œ„ ๋‚ด ๋ณดํ—˜ ์ ์šฉ๊ณผ ์ ˆ์ฐจ์  ๋ณต์žก์„ฑ์„ ์ค„์ด๊ฑฐ๋‚˜ ์น˜๋ฃŒ ์ ‘๊ทผ์„ฑ ํ˜•ํ‰์„ฑ์„ ๊ฐœ์„ ํ•˜๋Š” ๋ฐ ๋„์›€์ด ๋˜๋Š” ๋ณ€ํ™”๋“ค์ด ๋  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๊ฒƒ์ด ๋ฐ”๋กœ ์ €ํฌ๊ฐ€ ์ง‘์ค‘ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ๋ถ€๋ถ„์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹ค๋งŒ ์ดˆ์•ˆ์ด ์–ด๋–ป๊ฒŒ ๋‚˜์˜ฌ์ง€ ์ง€์ผœ๋ด์•ผ ํ•˜๋ฉฐ, ์ด ๊ณผ์ •์ด ๊ณ„์† ์ง„ํ–‰๋˜๊ธฐ๋ฅผ ๊ธฐ๋Œ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ง์”€ํ•˜์‹  ๊ฒƒ์ฒ˜๋Ÿผ, ๋Œ€๋ถ€๋ถ„์˜ ์˜๊ฒฌ์ด ๊ธ์ •์ ์ด์—ˆ๊ณ  ์ €ํฌ ์ƒ๊ฐ๊ณผ ๋Œ€์ฒด๋กœ ์ผ์น˜ํ–ˆ๋‹ค๋Š” ์ ๋„ ๊ณ ๋ฌด์ ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

CEO & Director: Thanks, Larry. We apply always the same filter. When we decide to get into a new space, it is all about is there a big unmet patient needs? Can we have an impact? Can we bring differentiated technologies? And so we look at this one and we say, yes, yes and yes. So how big it is? We don't know where very well in this segment yet, but we believe there is some technology out there. We believe there is still an unmet patient needs. And long term, we believe we can have an impact here.

Daveen Chopra: Corporate Vice President of Transcatheter Mitral & Tricuspid Therapies Thanks, Bernard. Thanks, Larry, for the question. Yes. Obviously, as we mentioned, we're looking to enter the market later this year. And if you look at existing technologies out there, we think there's still unmet patient needs. And that's where we believe, obviously, that we can come out with the technology in this new therapeutic area for Edwards Surgical, we can come out with a solution that can really help patient care. And we see this as a complementary solution to our specific valvular procedures that we're already in. So as a result of that, we kind of see kind of a measured commercial rollout and opportunity to be a growth driver in the future for Edwards Surgical.**Daveen Chopra:** ๊ฐ์‚ฌํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค, Bernard.

CEO & Director: Thanks, Larry. I'm glad you saw a long list and indeed, it is a very long list. And let me first talk a little bit about why all of these catalysts that we get to your question about moderate. The risk is very long because of our very unique strategy, where we invest early, we are very committed. We have a flawless execution. I'm sure you have seen that the kind of results we have had in 2025 is pretty spectacular. Financially, having all these catalysts, new technologies, new evidence, lasting evidence, lasting impact. All of them are basically in play for this year. With moderate, for sure, moderate is a big category. We know that the moderate prevalence is bigger than the severe one. We know it is big, but at the same time, we don't know what the study result will be. So we are waiting to know more about PROGRESS, the PROGRESS trial, which will be presented at TCT to talk more about it. But at least what you have seen is where we know for sure when it is coming and the type of impact we are going to have.

How that might end up being a contributor to incremental market share gains as you think about the TAVR business here in 2026 and beyond.**David Roman:** TAVR์˜ ํ‰์ƒ ๊ด€๋ฆฌ(lifetime management)์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์–ธ๊ธ‰๊ณผ ๊ด€๋ จํ•ด์„œ ์ข€ ๋” ์ž์„ธํžˆ ์„ค๋ช…ํ•ด ์ฃผ์‹ค ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์„๊นŒ์š”? ํŠนํžˆ ํŒ๋ง‰ ๋ฐ ๊ณต๊ธ‰์—…์ฒด ์„ ํƒ, ํ’์„  ํ™•์žฅํ˜•(balloon expandable) ๋Œ€ ์ž๊ฐ€ ํ™•์žฅํ˜•(self-expandable) ํŒ๋ง‰์— ์–ด๋–ค ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฏธ์น ์ง€ ๊ตฌ์ฒด์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋ง์”€ํ•ด ์ฃผ์‹œ๋ฉด ์ข‹๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2026๋…„ ์ดํ›„ TAVR ์‚ฌ์—…์˜ ์ ์ง„์ ์ธ ์‹œ์žฅ ์ ์œ ์œจ ํ™•๋Œ€์— ์ด๊ฒƒ์ด ์–ด๋–ป๊ฒŒ ๊ธฐ์—ฌํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์„์ง€์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ๊ฒฌํ•ด๋„ ๋ถ€ํƒ๋“œ๋ฆฝ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Daniel Lippis: Corporate Vice President of JAPAC (Japan, Greater China & Asia Pacific) You're on the right point, David. I mean, look, the evidence -- and when I say evidence, I'm talking the EARLY TAVR evidence, the sub-analyses from EARLY TAVR, the evidence that the likes of Philippe Genereux has published now on acute bowel syndrome. And then you've got PARTNER III and PARTNER II long-term data on top of this, all pointing to the fact that you're going to get a better clinical and economic benefit if you treat earlier in the disease pathway. This is a huge shift, and it changes the conversation between doctor and patient. So if you can imagine a year ago or a little bit more, you might have -- it might have been something along the lines of, let's see if we can eat this out another 6 months or 12 months or maybe a patient would want to thinking that they're trying to time their treatment and trying to figure out how to make their valve last as long as possible to avoid secondary or tertiary procedures. And this conversation has completely shifted because the evidence says that the benefit of doing that is not -- there's no upside to that, right? There's no upside to waiting anymore. And so this brings into the very important conversation and the concept of lifetime management. This is very, very important because you got to get the first procedure right to make sure you've got options and the right options for patients for their second procedure, whether that be another valve and valve or whether that be coronary artery access, PCI or what have you. And so we think our platform is uniquely positioned both acutely and with lifetime management options, whether that be secondary or tertiary procedures. And I think that's going to be one of the key value propositions that we have not only immediately but in the years to come.**Daniel Lippis:** ๋งž์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค, David. ์ฆ๊ฑฐ๋“ค์„ ๋ณด๋ฉด - ์—ฌ๊ธฐ์„œ ์ฆ๊ฑฐ๋ผ๊ณ  ํ•˜๋ฉด EARLY TAVR ์—ฐ๊ตฌ ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ, EARLY TAVR์˜ ํ•˜์œ„ ๋ถ„์„๋“ค, Philippe Genereux๊ฐ€ ๋ฐœํ‘œํ•œ ๊ธ‰์„ฑ ์žฅ ์ฆํ›„๊ตฐ(acute bowel syndrome)์— ๊ด€ํ•œ ์—ฐ๊ตฌ๋ฅผ ๋งํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  PARTNER III์™€ PARTNER II์˜ ์žฅ๊ธฐ ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ๊นŒ์ง€ ๋”ํ•ด์ง€๋ฉด์„œ, ์ด ๋ชจ๋“  ๊ฒƒ๋“ค์ด ์งˆ๋ณ‘ ๊ฒฝ๋กœ์˜ ์ดˆ๊ธฐ ๋‹จ๊ณ„์—์„œ ์น˜๋ฃŒํ•  ๋•Œ ๋” ๋‚˜์€ ์ž„์ƒ์ , ๊ฒฝ์ œ์  ์ด์ ์„ ์–ป์„ ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋‹ค๋Š” ์ ์„ ๋ณด์—ฌ์ฃผ๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๊ฒƒ์€ ์—„์ฒญ๋‚œ ๋ณ€ํ™”์ด๋ฉฐ, ์˜์‚ฌ์™€ ํ™˜์ž ๊ฐ„์˜ ๋Œ€ํ™” ๋ฐฉ์‹ ์ž์ฒด๋ฅผ ๋ฐ”๊พธ๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 1๋…„ ์ „์ด๋‚˜ ๊ทธ๋ณด๋‹ค ์กฐ๊ธˆ ๋” ์ „๋งŒ ํ•ด๋„ ์ƒํ™ฉ์„ ์ƒ์ƒํ•ด๋ณด์‹œ๋ฉด, "6๊ฐœ์›”์ด๋‚˜ 12๊ฐœ์›” ์ •๋„ ๋” ๋ฒ„ํ…จ๋ณผ ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์ง€ ์•Š์„๊นŒ"๋ผ๋Š” ์‹์˜ ๋Œ€ํ™”๊ฐ€ ์˜ค๊ฐ”์„ ๊ฒ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ™˜์ž๋“ค๋„ 2์ฐจ, 3์ฐจ ์‹œ์ˆ ์„ ํ”ผํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด ํŒ๋ง‰์„ ์ตœ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์˜ค๋ž˜ ์œ ์ง€ํ•˜๋ ค๊ณ  ์น˜๋ฃŒ ์‹œ๊ธฐ๋ฅผ ์กฐ์œจํ•˜๋ ค๋Š” ์ƒ๊ฐ์„ ํ–ˆ์—ˆ์ฃ . ๊ทธ๋Ÿฐ๋ฐ ์ด๋Ÿฐ ๋Œ€ํ™”๋Š” ์™„์ „ํžˆ ๋ฐ”๋€Œ์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์™œ๋ƒํ•˜๋ฉด ์ž„์ƒ ๊ทผ๊ฑฐ๋“ค์ด ๊ทธ๋ ‡๊ฒŒ ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์˜ ์ด์ ์ด ์—†๋‹ค๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์„ ๋ณด์—ฌ์ฃผ๊ณ  ์žˆ๊ธฐ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋” ์ด์ƒ ๊ธฐ๋‹ค๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์ด์ ์ด ์ „ํ˜€ ์—†์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ž˜์„œ ์ด์ œ๋Š” ๋งค์šฐ ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ๋Œ€ํ™”, ์ฆ‰ ํ‰์ƒ ๊ด€๋ฆฌ(lifetime management)๋ผ๋Š” ๊ฐœ๋…์œผ๋กœ ๋…ผ์˜๊ฐ€ ์˜ฎ๊ฒจ๊ฐ€๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๊ฒƒ์€ ๋งค์šฐ ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ๋ถ€๋ถ„์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ฒซ ๋ฒˆ์งธ ์‹œ์ˆ ์„ ์ œ๋Œ€๋กœ ํ•ด์•ผ ํ™˜์ž๋“ค์ด ๋‘ ๋ฒˆ์งธ ์‹œ์ˆ ์„ ๋ฐ›์„ ๋•Œ ์ ์ ˆํ•œ ์˜ต์…˜๋“ค์„ ํ™•๋ณดํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๊ธฐ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‘ ๋ฒˆ์งธ ์‹œ์ˆ ์ด ๋˜ ๋‹ค๋ฅธ ํŒ๋ง‰-๋‚ด-ํŒ๋ง‰(valve-in-valve) ์‹œ์ˆ ์ด ๋˜๋“ , ๊ด€์ƒ๋™๋งฅ ์ ‘๊ทผ์ด๋‚˜ ๊ฒฝํ”ผ์  ๊ด€์ƒ๋™๋งฅ ์ค‘์žฌ์ˆ (PCI) ๋“ฑ์ด ๋˜๋“  ๋ง์ด์ฃ . ๊ทธ๋ž˜์„œ ์ €ํฌ ํ”Œ๋žซํผ์€ ๊ธ‰์„ฑ๊ธฐ ์น˜๋ฃŒ๋ฟ๋งŒ ์•„๋‹ˆ๋ผ ํ‰์ƒ ๊ด€๋ฆฌ ์ธก๋ฉด์—์„œ๋„ ๋…๋ณด์ ์ธ ์œ„์น˜์— ์žˆ๋‹ค๊ณ  ์ƒ๊ฐํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2์ฐจ ์‹œ์ˆ ์ด๋“  3์ฐจ ์‹œ์ˆ ์ด๋“  ๋ชจ๋“  ์˜ต์…˜์„ ์ œ๊ณตํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๊ฒƒ์ด ๋ฐ”๋กœ ๋‹น์žฅ์€ ๋ฌผ๋ก ์ด๊ณ  ์•ž์œผ๋กœ ์ˆ˜๋…„๊ฐ„ ์ €ํฌ๊ฐ€ ๊ฐ€์ง„ ํ•ต์‹ฌ ๊ฐ€์น˜ ์ œ์•ˆ ์ค‘ ํ•˜๋‚˜๊ฐ€ ๋  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
David Roman: Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., Research Division And maybe just a clarification there. So in that scenario, is it reasonable to expect that just a significant percentage of patients receiving TAVR either in the asymptomatic or call it the sub-75 population that creates a unique opportunity for SAPIEN? And maybe just my follow-up, I'd ask you on capital allocation. You've obviously pulled the JenaValve deal did not end up coming to fruition. You bought back a good amount of stock last year, but you've also made some key hires to the business development team.

Daniel Lippis: Corporate Vice President of JAPAC (Japan, Greater China & Asia Pacific) Yes. So as far as the -- look, whether it be younger patients or whether it be elderly patients, there's a good chance now with modern medicine and the way that this is going, that patients will outlive their first valve. I mean it's -- I think lifetime management considerations is not just now for youthful patients. And in fact, more and more, we see -- we find ourselves in scenarios where certain valve platforms were chosen with the idea that the patient would not outlive that valve and then finding the options for that patient limited at that time point, which is really disappointing. So this lifetime management thing, getting the first procedure right upfront is a big thing. It is a conversation that everybody is focused on in the clinical community. Now as far as strategic allocation, look, we think valve and valve and whether you throw in leaflet modification or other types of things associated with secondary procedures, we think this is going to be very real. It's small now, but it will be growing. It's all about the denominator, right, and the numerator. And so we're looking at ways, as we always do to lead in this space. And that's something that we're looking at very, very closely. The other thing that, obviously, we do is we look at how we apply our field force here and how we invest in our field force and what kind of value that we bring with our service model as these conversations and these types of procedures evolve in terms of how to get the best outcome for a patient at any given time.**Daniel Lippis:** ๋„ค, ํ˜„๋Œ€ ์˜ํ•™์˜ ๋ฐœ์ „๊ณผ ์น˜๋ฃŒ ๋ฐฉํ–ฅ์„ ๊ณ ๋ คํ•  ๋•Œ, ์ Š์€ ํ™˜์ž๋“  ๊ณ ๋ น ํ™˜์ž๋“  ์ƒ๊ด€์—†์ด ์ด์ œ๋Š” ํ™˜์ž๋“ค์ด ์ฒซ ๋ฒˆ์งธ ํŒ๋ง‰๋ณด๋‹ค ๋” ์˜ค๋ž˜ ์ƒ์กดํ•  ๊ฐ€๋Šฅ์„ฑ์ด ์ƒ๋‹นํžˆ ๋†’์•„์กŒ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ‰์ƒ ๊ด€๋ฆฌ(lifetime management) ์ธก๋ฉด์˜ ๊ณ ๋ ค์‚ฌํ•ญ์€ ๋” ์ด์ƒ ์ Š์€ ํ™˜์ž๋“ค๋งŒ์˜ ๋ฌธ์ œ๊ฐ€ ์•„๋‹™๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์‹ค์ œ๋กœ ์ ์  ๋” ๋งŽ์€ ๊ฒฝ์šฐ์—์„œ, ํ™˜์ž๊ฐ€ ํ•ด๋‹น ํŒ๋ง‰๋ณด๋‹ค ์˜ค๋ž˜ ์‚ด์ง€ ๋ชปํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ด๋ผ๋Š” ์ „์ œ ํ•˜์— ํŠน์ • ํŒ๋ง‰ ํ”Œ๋žซํผ์„ ์„ ํƒํ–ˆ๋‹ค๊ฐ€, ๋‚˜์ค‘์— ๊ทธ ํ™˜์ž์—๊ฒŒ ์„ ํƒํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ์˜ต์…˜์ด ์ œํ•œ๋˜๋Š” ์ƒํ™ฉ์„ ๋ชฉ๊ฒฉํ•˜๊ฒŒ ๋˜๋Š”๋ฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์ •๋ง ์•ˆํƒ€๊นŒ์šด ์ผ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋”ฐ๋ผ์„œ ํ‰์ƒ ๊ด€๋ฆฌ ๊ด€์ ์—์„œ ์ฒ˜์Œ ์‹œ์ˆ ์„ ์ œ๋Œ€๋กœ ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ด ๋งค์šฐ ์ค‘์š”ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์ž„์ƒ ์ปค๋ฎค๋‹ˆํ‹ฐ์—์„œ ๋ชจ๋‘๊ฐ€ ์ฃผ๋ชฉํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ๋Œ€ํ™” ์ฃผ์ œ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ „๋žต์  ์ž์› ๋ฐฐ๋ถ„ ์ธก๋ฉด์—์„œ ๋ณด๋ฉด, ํŒ๋ง‰ ๊ด€๋ จ ์‹œ์ˆ , ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ฒจํŒ ์ˆ˜์ •์ˆ ์ด๋‚˜ ์ด์ฐจ ์‹œ์ˆ ๊ณผ ๊ด€๋ จ๋œ ๋‹ค๋ฅธ ์œ ํ˜•์˜ ์‹œ์ˆ ๋“ค์„ ํฌํ•จํ•ด์„œ, ์ด๊ฒƒ์ด ๋งค์šฐ ์‹ค์งˆ์ ์ธ ์‹œ์žฅ์ด ๋  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ๋ณด๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ง€๊ธˆ์€ ๊ทœ๋ชจ๊ฐ€ ์ž‘์ง€๋งŒ ์„ฑ์žฅํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ฒฐ๊ตญ ๋ถ„๋ชจ์™€ ๋ถ„์ž์˜ ๋ฌธ์ œ์ด์ฃ . ๊ทธ๋ž˜์„œ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ํ•ญ์ƒ ๊ทธ๋ž˜์™”๋“ฏ์ด ์ด ๋ถ„์•ผ์—์„œ ์„ ๋„์  ์œ„์น˜๋ฅผ ์ฐจ์ง€ํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ๋ฐฉ๋ฒ•๋“ค์„ ๋ชจ์ƒ‰ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ๋งค์šฐ ๋ฉด๋ฐ€ํžˆ ๊ฒ€ํ† ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ๋ถ€๋ถ„์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋˜ํ•œ ์ €ํฌ๊ฐ€ ์ฃผ๋ชฉํ•˜๋Š” ๋ถ€๋ถ„์€ ํ˜„์žฅ ์ธ๋ ฅ์„ ์–ด๋–ป๊ฒŒ ๋ฐฐ์น˜ํ•˜๊ณ  ํˆฌ์žํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ธ๊ฐ€, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ํ™˜์ž์—๊ฒŒ ์ตœ์ƒ์˜ ์น˜๋ฃŒ ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ์ œ๊ณตํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•œ ๋…ผ์˜์™€ ์‹œ์ˆ  ๋ฐฉ์‹์ด ๋ฐœ์ „ํ•ด ๋‚˜๊ฐ€๋Š” ๊ณผ์ •์—์„œ ์ €ํฌ ์„œ๋น„์Šค ๋ชจ๋ธ์ด ์–ด๋–ค ๊ฐ€์น˜๋ฅผ ์ œ๊ณตํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š”๊ฐ€ ํ•˜๋Š” ์ ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Scott Ullem: Corporate VP & CFO And on capital allocation, David, our priorities have not changed. Our first priority is investing in the business to support our growth. And that comes in the form of making sure we've got sufficient production capacity. And as we mentioned at the investor conference, we are increasing our production capacity to keep up with the growth in TAVR, and TMTT and Surgical. It also involves making external investments. And so we've got a number of different activities underway. We've always been active in M&A. As you know, most of the things that we invest in or purchase tend to be smaller in size because we're focused on structural heart. But that's going to be a continual direction for allocation of capital. And then share repurchase is one of our best ways to return capital to shareholders. And we continued our share repurchase activities in the fourth quarter. We bought back about $40 million, bringing the total repurchase in 2025 to just under $900 million. We still have about $2 billion of authorization remaining. And you should expect that we're going to continue to look for opportunistic times to repurchase more shares.**Scott Ullem:** ์ž๋ณธ ๋ฐฐ๋ถ„๊ณผ ๊ด€๋ จํ•ด์„œ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๋ฉด, ๋ฐ์ด๋น„๋“œ, ์ €ํฌ์˜ ์šฐ์„ ์ˆœ์œ„๋Š” ๋ณ€ํ•จ์ด ์—†์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ฒซ ๋ฒˆ์งธ ์šฐ์„ ์ˆœ์œ„๋Š” ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๋’ท๋ฐ›์นจํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•œ ์‚ฌ์—… ํˆฌ์ž์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์ถฉ๋ถ„ํ•œ ์ƒ์‚ฐ ๋Šฅ๋ ฅ์„ ํ™•๋ณดํ•˜๋Š” ํ˜•ํƒœ๋กœ ์ด๋ฃจ์–ด์ง‘๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํˆฌ์ž์ž ์ปจํผ๋Ÿฐ์Šค์—์„œ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฐ ๊ฒƒ์ฒ˜๋Ÿผ, ์ €ํฌ๋Š” TAVR, TMTT, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์™ธ๊ณผ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ์— ๋ฐœ๋งž์ถ”๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด ์ƒ์‚ฐ ๋Šฅ๋ ฅ์„ ํ™•๋Œ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋˜ํ•œ ์™ธ๋ถ€ ํˆฌ์ž๋„ ํฌํ•จ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ˜„์žฌ ์—ฌ๋Ÿฌ ๊ฐ€์ง€ ํ™œ๋™๋“ค์„ ์ง„ํ–‰ ์ค‘์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ํ•ญ์ƒ M&A์— ์ ๊ทน์ ์ด์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์•„์‹œ๋‹ค์‹œํ”ผ, ์ €ํฌ๊ฐ€ ํˆฌ์žํ•˜๊ฑฐ๋‚˜ ์ธ์ˆ˜ํ•˜๋Š” ๋Œ€๋ถ€๋ถ„์˜ ๊ฑด๋“ค์€ ๊ตฌ์กฐ์  ์‹ฌ์žฅ์งˆํ™˜(structural heart)์— ์ง‘์ค‘ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๊ธฐ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์— ๊ทœ๋ชจ๊ฐ€ ์ž‘์€ ํŽธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ ์ด๋Š” ๊ณ„์†ํ•ด์„œ ์ž๋ณธ ๋ฐฐ๋ถ„์˜ ๋ฐฉํ–ฅ์ด ๋  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ž์‚ฌ์ฃผ ๋งค์ž…์€ ์ฃผ์ฃผ๋“ค์—๊ฒŒ ์ž๋ณธ์„ ํ™˜์›ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฐ€์žฅ ์ข‹์€ ๋ฐฉ๋ฒ• ์ค‘ ํ•˜๋‚˜์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ์—๋„ ์ž์‚ฌ์ฃผ ๋งค์ž…์„ ์ง€์†ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์•ฝ 4์ฒœ๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋ฅผ ๋งค์ž…ํ–ˆ๊ณ , 2025๋…„ ์ด ๋งค์ž… ๊ทœ๋ชจ๋Š” 9์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์— ์กฐ๊ธˆ ๋ชป ๋ฏธ์นฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์•„์ง ์•ฝ 20์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์˜ ์Šน์ธ๋œ ํ•œ๋„๊ฐ€ ๋‚จ์•„ ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์•ž์œผ๋กœ๋„ ์ ์ ˆํ•œ ์‹œ๊ธฐ๋ฅผ ํฌ์ฐฉํ•ด์„œ ์ž์‚ฌ์ฃผ ๋งค์ž…์„ ๊ณ„์† ์ง„ํ–‰ํ•  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•˜์‹œ๋ฉด ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Daveen Chopra: Corporate Vice President of Transcatheter Mitral & Tricuspid Therapies Thanks, Joanne, It's Daveen. I appreciate the question. Talk a little bit about the SAPIEN M3 launch. We're just starting in the U.S., right? We got approval, obviously, right before the end of the year. And it's kind of scaling in line with our expectations here in the U.S. and we are just starting to open up centers, really focusing on centers who are, in our who are in our ENCIRCLE pivotal clinical study first. In Europe, we're scaling in line with expectations as well, but it's still pretty early in the process. I think what we like that we're seeing is that we're getting really high procedural success, and we're getting really great patient outcomes. Remember I was with a patient just the other week who had previously had mitral valve surgery and then needed an M3 because the surgery had failed. And for him, hearing about the difference his life made when he had no other tear or surgical alternatives with mitral regurgitation really hurting his life and how it just got so much better, just it worn my heart so much to kind of hear that. So because of that, we're seeing this physician excitement because there's a group of patients who didn't -- who don't really have tear or have great surgical options for which M3 really becomes a good opportunity. So for us, we're continuing to appropriately kind of scale up, open up new centers and bring this therapy to new patients. So that's kind of SAPIEN M3. And maybe moving on to kind of European guidelines, you want to start with TAVR guidelines? The European guidelines, I can talk about the FMR guidelines a little bit. Yes. So on the European guidelines with FMR, they're now Class I for functional mitral regurgitation for reduction of heart failure hospitalizations. So we're seeing, I think, increased awareness, specifically in mitral and tricuspid, increased awareness for these 2 diseases and increased kind of referrals happening with this guideline shift. So we see it as a helping continue that double-digit tier market growth that we've been seeing. And maybe passing on to TAVR for a comment on the guidelines, Dan.**Daveen Chopra:** ๊ฐ์‚ฌํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค, ์กฐ์•ค. ๋‹ค๋นˆ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์งˆ๋ฌธ ๊ฐ์‚ฌ๋“œ๋ฆฝ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Daniel Lippis: Corporate Vice President of JAPAC (Japan, Greater China & Asia Pacific) Joanne, as you may recall, the guidelines on the TAVR side changed in a meaningful way on two fronts. One is they reduce the age recommendation for TAVR going from 75% to 70%, right? That's one big element of the change. And then the other element was this whole concept of recommending proactive disease management regardless of symptom or heart function. So this is basically taking -- changing the dogma of watchful waiting in Europe. And so this is a huge shift. Now that is a -- that requires a lot of education. You can imagine, we're seeing -- definitely, we did see healthy procedural growth in Q4 in Europe and some of the large countries contributed to that in a meaningful way. But the way that we look at this is the guidelines won't be a light switch, whether it be in Europe or the U.S. or Japan, but give us an opportunity as those get disseminated as those get democratized and then put into practice, it's just layers and layers of durable growth for us. And so that's kind of how it's playing out, not a light switch, but definitely momentum.**Daniel Lippis:** JAPAC(์ผ๋ณธ, ๋Œ€์ค‘ํ™”๊ถŒ ๋ฐ ์•„์‹œ์•„ํƒœํ‰์–‘) ๋‹ด๋‹น ๋ถ€์‚ฌ์žฅ

Daniel Lippis: Corporate Vice President of JAPAC (Japan, Greater China & Asia Pacific) So yes, thanks for the question. And I think without trying to be on repeat here, but this data, this very, very compelling data, not just on the early TAVR and the asymptomatic side and not just clinical but also economic data. I mean, I can't stress how important the economic data -- benefit of economic -- of the economics -- treatment of patients and the hospital economics earlier in the disease pathway is having an effect as much as the clinical data. So these two things tied with definitive durability data is creating a wave of confidence in the community to have a different conversation. It is also forcing, if you like, the aortic stenosis patient, the TAVR patient to be prioritized differently and to be treated with urgency. Typically, you might see a little bit more rearranging of the patient list to bring more sick patients to the front of the list and the more healthier patients towards the back of the list rather than just getting through the list. And this conversation is completely different now, and people are focusing on this intentional and urgent treatment of symptomatic AS. So this is regardless of whether the patient is asymptomatic or not. This is the impact that it is having on symptomatic aortic stenosis is what we see largely driving our growth. When we look at the claims data, we don't see asymptomatic patients coming in, in waves through the claims data. And that shouldn't be a surprise because the NCD doesn't cover asymptomatic indications at the moment. So right now, that's not a huge surprise. What we do see, though, since the indication in the United States, we do see increase in the number of echoes. We do see increase in the number of referrals. We do see a decrease in time from referral to CT, which is the heart team evaluation. And interestingly enough, we do see a relatively sharp increase in stress tests for patients and nobody typically likes to do stress tests. And so that's also an interesting finding that we see in the data. And so definitively, this is all positive momentum, and it's driving a lot of growth. But as I mentioned before, the other thing that is supporting and contributing to the performance in Q3 and Q4 is the success of SAPIEN 3 Ultra RESILIA. That's making a meaningful contribution to our performance, and we're pretty happy with that.**Daniel Lippis:** ๋„ค, ์งˆ๋ฌธ ๊ฐ์‚ฌํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ฐ™์€ ๋ง์„ ๋ฐ˜๋ณตํ•˜๋ ค๋Š” ๊ฑด ์•„๋‹ˆ์ง€๋งŒ, ์ด ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ๋“ค, ์ •๋ง ์„ค๋“๋ ฅ ์žˆ๋Š” ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ๋“ค์ด ์กฐ๊ธฐ TAVR(๊ฒฝ์นดํ…Œํ„ฐ ๋Œ€๋™๋งฅํŒ๋ง‰ ์น˜ํ™˜์ˆ )๊ณผ ๋ฌด์ฆ์ƒ ํ™˜์ž ์ธก๋ฉด์—์„œ๋ฟ๋งŒ ์•„๋‹ˆ๋ผ ์ž„์ƒ์  ์ธก๋ฉด๋ฟ ์•„๋‹ˆ๋ผ ๊ฒฝ์ œ์  ์ธก๋ฉด์—์„œ๋„ ๋‚˜์˜ค๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ฒฝ์ œ์  ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ๊ฐ€ ์–ผ๋งˆ๋‚˜ ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ์ง€ ์•„๋ฌด๋ฆฌ ๊ฐ•์กฐํ•ด๋„ ์ง€๋‚˜์น˜์ง€ ์•Š์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์งˆ๋ณ‘ ๊ฒฝ๋กœ ์ดˆ๊ธฐ์— ํ™˜์ž๋ฅผ ์น˜๋ฃŒํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์˜ ๊ฒฝ์ œ์  ํšจ๊ณผ, ๋ณ‘์› ๊ฒฝ์ œ์„ฑ ์ธก๋ฉด์—์„œ์˜ ํšจ๊ณผ๊ฐ€ ์ž„์ƒ ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ๋งŒํผ์ด๋‚˜ ํฐ ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฏธ์น˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด ๋‘ ๊ฐ€์ง€ ์š”์†Œ๊ฐ€ ํ™•์‹คํ•œ ๋‚ด๊ตฌ์„ฑ ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ์™€ ๊ฒฐํ•ฉ๋˜๋ฉด์„œ ์˜๋ฃŒ๊ณ„์—์„œ ์™„์ „ํžˆ ๋‹ค๋ฅธ ์ฐจ์›์˜ ๋Œ€ํ™”๋ฅผ ๋‚˜๋ˆŒ ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋‹ค๋Š” ์ž์‹ ๊ฐ์˜ ๋ฌผ๊ฒฐ์„ ๋งŒ๋“ค์–ด๋‚ด๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ๋Œ€๋™๋งฅํŒ๋ง‰ํ˜‘์ฐฉ์ฆ ํ™˜์ž, ์ฆ‰ TAVR ํ™˜์ž๋“ค์˜ ์šฐ์„ ์ˆœ์œ„๋ฅผ ๋‹ค๋ฅด๊ฒŒ ์„ค์ •ํ•˜๊ณ  ๊ธด๊ธ‰ํ•˜๊ฒŒ ์น˜๋ฃŒํ•˜๋„๋ก ๋งŒ๋“ค๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ผ๋ฐ˜์ ์œผ๋กœ๋Š” ๋‹จ์ˆœํžˆ ๋Œ€๊ธฐ์ž ๋ช…๋‹จ์„ ์ˆœ์„œ๋Œ€๋กœ ์ฒ˜๋ฆฌํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ด ์•„๋‹ˆ๋ผ, ์ค‘์ฆ ํ™˜์ž๋“ค์„ ์•ž์œผ๋กœ ๋ฐฐ์น˜ํ•˜๊ณ  ์ƒ๋Œ€์ ์œผ๋กœ ๊ฑด๊ฐ•ํ•œ ํ™˜์ž๋“ค์„ ๋’ค๋กœ ๋ฏธ๋ฃจ๋Š” ๋ฐฉ์‹์œผ๋กœ ํ™˜์ž ๋ช…๋‹จ์„ ์žฌ์กฐ์ •ํ•˜๋Š” ๋ชจ์Šต์„ ๋ณผ ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด์ œ ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๋…ผ์˜๋Š” ์™„์ „ํžˆ ๋‹ฌ๋ผ์กŒ๊ณ , ์‚ฌ๋žŒ๋“ค์€ ์ฆ์ƒ์ด ์žˆ๋Š” ๋Œ€๋™๋งฅํŒ๋ง‰ํ˜‘์ฐฉ์ฆ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์˜๋„์ ์ด๊ณ  ๊ธด๊ธ‰ํ•œ ์น˜๋ฃŒ์— ์ง‘์ค‘ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ํ™˜์ž๊ฐ€ ๋ฌด์ฆ์ƒ์ธ์ง€ ์—ฌ๋ถ€์™€ ๊ด€๊ณ„์—†์ด ์ ์šฉ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ฆ์ƒ์ด ์žˆ๋Š” ๋Œ€๋™๋งฅํŒ๋ง‰ํ˜‘์ฐฉ์ฆ์— ๋ฏธ์น˜๋Š” ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์˜ํ–ฅ์ด ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ์ฃผ๋„ํ•˜๋Š” ์ฃผ์š” ์š”์ธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ฒญ๊ตฌ ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ๋ฅผ ์‚ดํŽด๋ณด๋ฉด, ๋ฌด์ฆ์ƒ ํ™˜์ž๋“ค์ด ๋Œ€๊ทœ๋ชจ๋กœ ์œ ์ž…๋˜๋Š” ํ˜„์ƒ์€ ๋ณด์ด์ง€ ์•Š์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ํ˜„์žฌ NCD๊ฐ€ ๋ฌด์ฆ์ƒ ์ ์‘์ฆ์„ ๋ณด์žฅํ•˜์ง€ ์•Š๊ธฐ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์— ๊ทธ๋‹ค์ง€ ๋†€๋ผ์šด ์ผ์€ ์•„๋‹™๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋”ฐ๋ผ์„œ ํ˜„ ์‹œ์ ์—์„œ๋Š” ์˜ˆ์ƒ ๊ฐ€๋Šฅํ•œ ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

All what we are doing right now, all the things we have been doing, all of these catalysts are impacting severe symptomatic patients. And so the asymptomatic patients are still in front of us. This is why we are so confident as to have TAVR as the durable growth opportunity for Edwards.**CEO & Director:** ํฐ ๊ทธ๋ฆผ์—์„œ ๋ณด๋ฉด, Dan์ด ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฐ ๋ชจ๋“  ๋‚ด์šฉ์„ ์ข…ํ•ฉํ•ด๋ณด์‹œ๋ฉด, ์ด๊ฒƒ์ด ๋ฐ”๋กœ ์˜ฌํ•ด TAVR ์‚ฌ์—…์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ 6~8% ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค์™€ 2026๋…„ ์ดํ›„ ์ค‘๊ฐ„์—์„œ ๋†’์€ ํ•œ ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ํ™•์‹ ์„ ๋’ท๋ฐ›์นจํ•˜๋Š” ๊ทผ๊ฑฐ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ˜„์žฌ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ๋ชจ๋“  ์ผ๋“ค, ๊ทธ๋™์•ˆ ํ•ด์˜จ ๋ชจ๋“  ๋…ธ๋ ฅ๋“ค, ์ด ๋ชจ๋“  ์„ฑ์žฅ ๋™๋ ฅ๋“ค์ด ์ค‘์ฆ ์ฆ์ƒ ํ™˜์ž๋“ค์—๊ฒŒ ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฏธ์น˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ๋ฌด์ฆ์ƒ ํ™˜์ž๋“ค์€ ์•„์ง ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ์•ž์— ๋‚จ์•„์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๊ฒƒ์ด ๋ฐ”๋กœ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ TAVR์„ Edwards์˜ ์ง€์† ๊ฐ€๋Šฅํ•œ ์„ฑ์žฅ ๊ธฐํšŒ๋กœ ํ™•์‹ ํ•˜๋Š” ์ด์œ ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Scott Ullem: Corporate VP & CFO Yes, sure. Thanks for the question. Yes, the surgical inventory adjustment was in one country, it was the end of the year, and it was really adjusting inventories in the distribution channel. In China, we go through distributors, and we work very carefully on managing inventory levels. And so this is just something that we did at the end of the year. We still expect mid-single-digit growth from Surgical in 2026 and beyond.

Scott Ullem: Corporate VP & CFO Yes. So Q1, the guidance implies -- I mentioned before, on a reported basis, about 300 basis points higher than the underlying growth guidance. We haven't broken out specific underlying growth guidance, but know that the growth in the first half of the year is higher than the growth in the second half of the year.

Vijay Kumar: Evercore ISI Institutional Equities, Research Division That's helpful. And then maybe one on the moderate AS. What is, I guess, the right way to think about moderate AS.

CEO & Director: Maybe let me start with Vijay. And first, when we when we decide to start a big pivotal study, randomized study, multiyear randomized studies like this one, it is because we believe we can show the benefit to patients. It is because we believe it is a big opportunity. It is because we believe in that case, SAPIEN 3 will have a big positive impact on these patients. So that's just to make sure that you feel our confidence and our belief behind progress and the moderate AS patient population. Having said that, we know the importance of highly scientific clinical studies. And as a company relying a lot on world-class evidence, we are trying not to talk a lot about before having seen the results. We know the importance of it. But -- so it is why some studies are more like post-market studies, marketing studies. So people have a freedom to talk about it. And here, we want to have a very high bar in terms of clinical evidence. So we have confidence, belief. It's a large patient population, and we are going to wait TCT to share more about it. Now Dan, do you have anything that you want to share in addition to what I said here?**CEO & Director:** ๋จผ์ € Vijay์˜ ์งˆ๋ฌธ๋ถ€ํ„ฐ ๋‹ต๋ณ€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ๊ฐ€ ์ด๋Ÿฐ ๋Œ€๊ทœ๋ชจ ํ”ผ๋ฒ— ์—ฐ๊ตฌ, ๋ฌด์ž‘์œ„ ์—ฐ๊ตฌ, ์ˆ˜๋…„๊ฐ„์˜ ๋ฌด์ž‘์œ„ ์—ฐ๊ตฌ๋ฅผ ์‹œ์ž‘ํ•˜๊ธฐ๋กœ ๊ฒฐ์ •ํ•  ๋•Œ๋Š” ํ™˜์ž๋“ค์—๊ฒŒ ํ˜œํƒ์„ ๋ณด์—ฌ์ค„ ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋‹ค๊ณ  ๋ฏฟ๊ธฐ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํฐ ๊ธฐํšŒ๋ผ๊ณ  ๋ฏฟ๊ธฐ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์ด๊ณ , ์ด ๊ฒฝ์šฐ SAPIEN 3๊ฐ€ ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ํ™˜์ž๋“ค์—๊ฒŒ ํฐ ๊ธ์ •์  ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฏธ์น  ๊ฒƒ์ด๋ผ๊ณ  ๋ฏฟ๊ธฐ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ž˜์„œ ์ €ํฌ๊ฐ€ ์ง„ํ–‰ ์ค‘์ธ ์—ฐ๊ตฌ์™€ ์ค‘๋“ฑ๋„ ๋Œ€๋™๋งฅ ํ˜‘์ฐฉ์ฆ ํ™˜์ž๊ตฐ์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๊ฐ–๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ํ™•์‹ ๊ณผ ๋ฏฟ์Œ์„ ๋А๋ผ์…จ์œผ๋ฉด ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Daniel Lippis: Corporate Vice President of JAPAC (Japan, Greater China & Asia Pacific) Yes. The only additional color that I would say is as we learned a ton from now asymptomatic EARLY TAVR trial about how unpredictable the nature of the diseases and any -- and this whole idea of that it's a progressive, predictable disease has been thrown out the window even on EARLY TAVR. And we -- this is not an asymptomatic trial, right? PROGRESS is not a symptomatic moderate, right? So we're talking about a symptomatic patient population. And we don't know the results of the trial. We don't know what it looks like. What we do know is it enrolled very fast, right? And that's usually a bit of an indicator of things. And so we're excited to sort of just learn more about how this can inform this patient population and how transcatheter therapies may fit into this. But until we see the data, until we get past TCT, there's not a lot more to add.**Daniel Lippis:** ๋„ค, ์ถ”๊ฐ€๋กœ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ์ž๋ฉด ๋ฌด์ฆ์ƒ EARLY TAVR ์‹œํ—˜์„ ํ†ตํ•ด ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ๋ฐฐ์šด ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ์ ์€ ์งˆ๋ณ‘์˜ ํŠน์„ฑ์ด ์–ผ๋งˆ๋‚˜ ์˜ˆ์ธก ๋ถˆ๊ฐ€๋Šฅํ•œ์ง€์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ด๊ฒƒ์ด ์ ์ง„์ ์ด๊ณ  ์˜ˆ์ธก ๊ฐ€๋Šฅํ•œ ์งˆ๋ณ‘์ด๋ผ๋Š” ๊ธฐ์กด์˜ ๊ฐœ๋…์€ EARLY TAVR ์‹œํ—˜์—์„œ์กฐ์ฐจ ์™„์ „ํžˆ ๋’ค์ง‘์–ด์กŒ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  PROGRESS๋Š” ๋ฌด์ฆ์ƒ ์‹œํ—˜์ด ์•„๋‹™๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
