• AVITA reported Q3 revenue of $26.1 million, up 53% year over year and 20% sequentially, led by RECELL. It raised 2026 revenue guidance for the second consecutive quarter to $92 million–$94 million and reaffirmed its goal of cash flow breakeven in Q4.
• Cash use fell to approximately $600,000 from $3.2 million in Q2, while gross margin rose to 84% and operating expenses stayed flat sequentially. AVITA also received the remaining $10 million available under its credit facility, and management said substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern had been alleviated.
• U.S. RECELL revenue increased about 20% sequentially, with unit volume up approximately 21%; management attributed most of the growth to its commercial strategy, while estimating roughly $1 million of Q3 revenue came from seasonal burn activity. A simpler national Medicare reimbursement framework for RECELL procedures is scheduled to take effect in January 2027.

Cohealyx revenue grew 21% sequentially, while PermeaDerm was essentially flat; management said adoption and repeat use for the newer products are still developing.
