Note 1. Nature of Business and Operations

Tactile Systems Technology, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company”) manufactures and distributes medical devices for the treatment of patients with underserved chronic diseases in the home. Our lymphedema product portfolio includes the Flexitouch® Plus, Entre™ Plus, and Nimbl compression device systems, which help manage the symptoms of lymphedema, a chronic and progressive medical condition. We market these products through a direct sales force that engages healthcare providers involved in the diagnosis and treatment of lymphedema, including vascular specialists, vein and wound care clinicians, oncology providers, and certified lymphedema therapists throughout the United States. Our lymphedema products are prescribed for home use and are sold or rented to patients through commercial and government channels, including the Department of Veterans Affairs.

On September 8, 2021, we acquired the assets of the AffloVest airway clearance business (“AffloVest Acquisition”). AffloVest is a portable, wearable vest that treats patients with chronic respiratory conditions. We sell this device through home medical equipment and durable medical equipment (“DME”) providers throughout the United States.

On February 17, 2026, we acquired all outstanding equity interests of LymphaTech, Inc. (“LymphaTech”). LymphaTech is a medical technology company pioneering a digital, three-dimensional (the “3D”) full body measurement and monitoring platform designed specifically for lymphedema.

On April 24, 2026, we entered into a 3-year exclusive distribution agreement with ElastiMed, Inc. to bring MyoSleeve™, a discreet, wearable non-pneumatic compression device for the lower leg, to Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”) and Department of Defense (“DoD”) patients across the United States. Under the agreement, we received exclusive rights to distribute MyoSleeve through the VA and DoD channels and limited non-exclusive distribution rights in the broader U.S. commercial market, subject to certain contractual conditions. In exchange for these rights, we made a $3.0 million upfront payment in the second quarter of 2026, which was recorded as an intangible asset and will be amortized on a straight-line basis beginning on the date the product is commercially available for sale, which is expected to be in the second half of 2026.

We were originally incorporated in Minnesota under the name Tactile Systems Technology, Inc. on January 30, 1995. During 2006, we established a merger corporation and subsequently, on July 21, 2006, merged with and into this merger corporation, resulting in our reincorporation as a Delaware corporation. The resulting corporation assumed the name Tactile Systems Technology, Inc. In September 2013, we began doing business as “Tactile Medical”.

On August 2, 2016, we closed the initial public offering of our common stock, which resulted in the sale of 4,120,000 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $10.00 per share. We received net proceeds from the initial public offering of approximately $35.4 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and approximately $2.9 million of transaction expenses.

On February 27, 2023, we closed on a public offering of 2,875,000 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $13.00 per share. We received net proceeds from this offering of $34.6 million after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and offering expenses.

Our business is affected by seasonality. In the first quarter of each year, when most patients have started a new insurance year and have not yet met their annual out-of-pocket payment obligations, we experience substantially reduced demand for our products. We typically experience higher revenue in the third and fourth quarters of the year when patients have met their annual insurance deductibles, thereby reducing their out-of-pocket costs for our products, and because patients desire to exhaust their flexible spending accounts at year end. This seasonality applies only to purchases and rentals of our products by patients covered by commercial insurance and is not relevant to Medicare, Medicaid or the Veterans Administration, as those

payers either do not have plans that have declining deductibles over the course of the plan year and/or do not have plans that include patient deductibles for purchases or rentals of our products.
