Net Sales of $84 million Grew 3% Year-Over-Year for the Third Quarter

Third Quarter GAAP Net Income and Earnings Per Share were $8 Million and $0.05, Respectively

Third Quarter Adjusted EBITDA was $18 Million, or 22% of Net Sales

Raises 2024 Net Sales Growth Expectations to the High Single-Digits

Management to Host Conference Call Today, October 30, 2024, at 4:30 PM ET

MARIETTA, Ga., Oct. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MiMedx Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:MDXG) ("MIMEDX" or the "Company"), today announced operating and financial results for the third quarter 2024.

Joseph H. Capper, MIMEDX Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Our solid third quarter 2024 results include total net sales growth of 3% year-over-year and an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 22%, both compared to tough comparisons in the third quarter of 2023. During the quarter, we strengthened our commercial organization, filling roles throughout the country, and continued to execute on our strategic priorities, which I believe will put us in the best position to lead this space over the long term. This performance, along with the associated free cash flow generation, demonstrates the strength of our Company even as we weather reimbursement-related market disruption. As a result, we now expect our 2024 net sales growth will be on the upper end of our prior stated guidance range of mid-to-high single-digits."

Mr. Capper continued, "During the quarter, we continued conversations with CMS, lawmakers and the MACs, leaving us optimistic that change is coming to address the runaway Medicare spend in the private office and associated care settings, which is now over $1 billion per month. As we have known for some time, and The New York Times recently pointed out, the potential for placental tissue products is enormous. Our unwavering commitment to research and evidence production designed to support expanded utilization of our products puts us in an advantageous position as more clinicians seek to incorporate placental allografts into their practices."

Third Quarter 2024 Results Discussion¹

Net Sales

MIMEDX reported net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2024, of $84 million, compared to $82 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of 3%. The increase was primarily driven by growing contributions from its AMNIOEFFECT^® and EPIEFFECT^® products and initial contributions associated with sales of our recently launched HELIOGEN^® product, partially offset by commercial challenges associated with recent turnover of certain of our sales team and customers, declines in sales of AXIOFILL^® and the conclusion of sales of our dental product during the third quarter 2023.

Gross Profit and Margin

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2024, was $69 million, an increase of $2 million as compared to the prior year period. Gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was 81.8%, compared to 81.9% in the prior year period. While third quarter 2024 gross margin was negatively impacted by the amortization of distribution rights stemming from the TELA Bio, Inc. and Regenity Biosciences agreements entered into during the first quarter of 2024, this impact was offset by favorable product mix and continued execution on improvements in manufacturing scale up, including reductions in scrap and improvements in yield.

Operating Expenses

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024, were $54 million compared to $53 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in SG&A was driven by year-over-year increases in compensation related to higher salary and benefit costs from merit raises, promotions, as well as commissions driven by increases in sales volumes and proportionally higher sales through sales agents. Incremental spend from legal and regulatory disputes in the current period also contributed to the increase.

Research and development ("R&D") expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024, were $3 million compared to $3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. R&D spend in the quarter was driven, in part, by the randomized controlled trial for EPIEFFECT and ongoing investments in the development of future products in our pipeline.

Investigation, restatement and related expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024, was $1 million compared to an immaterial benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The benefit in the third quarter 2023 resulted from various settlements, including those with former officers and other matters.

Net income from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $8 million compared to $9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $89 million of cash and cash equivalents compared to $82 million as of December 31, 2023. As of September 30, 2024, our cash position, net of debt on our balance sheet, was $70 million, representing a sequential increase of $20 million.

Financial Outlook

For 2024, MIMEDX expects net sales growth to be in the high single-digits as a percentage compared to 2023. 2024 Adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to be above 20% on a full year basis.

Longer-term, the Company continues to expect to achieve annual net sales growth in the low double-digits as a percentage with an adjusted EBITDA margin above 20%.

MIMEDX will host a conference call and webcast to review its second quarter 2024 results on Wednesday, October 30, 2024, beginning at 4:30 p.m., Eastern Time. The call can be accessed using the following information:

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to our GAAP results, we provide certain non-GAAP measures including Adjusted EBITDA, related margins, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Earnings Per Share ("Adjusted EPS"). We believe that the presentation of these measures provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding our performance. These measures are not a substitute for GAAP measures. Company management uses these non-GAAP measures as aids in monitoring our ongoing financial performance from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year on a regular basis and for benchmarking against comparable companies.

These non-GAAP financial measures reflect the exclusion of the following items:

Share-based compensation expense - expense recognized related to awards to employees and our board of directors pursuant to our share-based compensation plans. This expense is reflected amongst cost of sales, research and development expense, and selling, general, and administrative expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Investigation, restatement, and related (benefit) expense - expenses incurred toward the legal defense of the Company and advanced on behalf of certain former officers and directors, net of negotiated reductions and settlements of amounts previously advanced, related to certain legal matters. This expense is reflected in the line of the same name in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Impairment of intangible assets - reflects the impairment of intangibles. This expense is reflected in the line of the same name in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Transaction-related expenses - reflects expenses incrementally incurred resulting from the consummation of material strategic transactions or the integration of acquired assets or operations into our core business. With respect to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, this relates to our acquisition and integration of exclusive distribution rights to HELIOGEN.
Strategic legal and regulatory expenses - With respect to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, this relates to litigation and regulatory expenses. Litigation expenses incurred relate to suits filed against former employees and their employers for violation of non-compete and non-solicitation agreements and related matters. Regulatory expenses relate to legal fees incurred stemming from action taken against the United States Food & Drug Administration ("FDA") surrounding the designation of one of our products.
Loss on extinguishment of debt - reflects the excess of cash paid to extinguish debt over the carrying value of the debt on our balance sheet upon the repayment and termination of a loan agreement. With respect to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, this relates to the repayment and termination of the Company's loan agreement with Hayfin. Amounts in this line reflect (i) prepayment premium paid and (ii) write-offs of unamortized original issue discount and deferred financing costs.
Expenses related to the Disbanding of Regenerative Medicine - incremental expenses recognized or incurred directly as a result of our announcement to disband our Regenerative Medicine segment.
Amortization of acquired intangible assets - reflects amortization expense recognized solely related to assets which were acquired as part of a transaction. With respect to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, this relates solely to the amortization of distribution rights stemming from the TELA Bio, Inc. and Regenity Biosciences agreements entered into during the first quarter of 2024. These expenses are reflected in cost of sales in our consolidated statements of operations.
Reorganization expenses - reflects severance expense incurred arising from separations from certain officers of the Company.
Income Tax Adjustment - for purposes of calculating Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share, reflects our expectation of a long-term effective tax rate, which is normalized and balance sheet-agnostic. Actual reporting tax expense will be based on GAAP earnings, and may differ from the expected long-term effective tax rate due to a variety of factors, including the tax treatment of various transactions included in GAAP net income and other reconciling items that are excluded in determining Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS. The actual long-term normalized effective tax rate was 25% for each of the quarters ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin

Adjusted EBITDA consists of GAAP net income excluding: (i) depreciation, (ii) amortization of intangibles, (iii) interest (income) expense, net, (iv) income tax provision, (v) share-based compensation, (vi) investigation, restatement and related expenses, (vii) expenses related to disbanding of the Regenerative Medicine business unit, (viii) strategic legal and regulatory expenses, (ix) transaction-related expenses, (x) impairment of intangible assets, and (xi) reorganization expenses.

Please refer to the tables at the beginning of this press release for reconciliation to GAAP net income (loss).

Adjusted Net Income

Adjusted Net Income provides a view of our operating performance, exclusive of certain items which are non-recurring or not reflective of our core operations.

Adjusted Net Income is defined as GAAP net income plus (i) loss on extinguishment of debt, (ii) investigation restatement and related expenses, (iii) impairment of intangible assets, (iv) amortization of acquired intangible assets, (v) transaction related expenses, (vi) strategic legal and regulatory expenses, and (vii) expenses related to disbanding of our Regenerative Medicine business unit, and (viii) the long-term effective income tax rate adjustment.

Adjusted Earnings Per Share

Adjusted Earnings Per Share is intended to provide a normalized view of earnings per share by removing items that may be irregular, one-time, or non-recurring from net income. This enables us to identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by such items. Adjusted Earnings Per Share consists of GAAP diluted net income (loss) per common share including adjustments for: (i) loss on extinguishment of debt, (ii) investigation restatement and related expenses, (iii) impairment of intangible assets, (iv) amortization of acquired intangible assets, (v) transaction related expenses, (vi) strategic legal and regulatory expenses, (vii) expenses related to disbanding of our Regenerative Medicine business unit, (viii) reorganization expenses, (ix) the long-term effective income tax rate adjustment, and (x) the effect of antidilution. The effect of antidilution reflects the changes resulting from the removal of the dilutive impact of convertible securities which were dilutive for purposes of calculating GAAP net income per common share, but are antidilutive for non-GAAP purposes.

A reconciliation of GAAP diluted earnings per share to Adjusted Earnings Per Share appears in the table below (per diluted share):

Free Cash Flow
