Company to Host Conference Call on November 5, 2020 at 8:30 AM ET

MARIETTA, Ga., Nov. 04, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MiMedx Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: MDXG) (“MiMedx” or the “Company”), an industry leader in advanced wound care and a therapeutic biologics company, today announced the filing of its third quarter 2020 Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2020.

Timothy R. Wright, MiMedx Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased to have achieved several key objectives, including a strong rebound in sequential sales growth, the launch of EpiCord® Expandable, and importantly, the relisting of our shares today on Nasdaq. We are investing across Commercial, Research and Development, and Manufacturing, with strategic initiatives designed to achieve profitable growth and expand our core market. Bolstered by the recent addition of coverage for EpiFix® by the largest U.S. Commercial payor, we will be increasing the size of our salesforce and are scaling our field sales territories to ensure we have the right capacity in the right places to capture market growth. We are advancing our promising late-stage Investigational New Drug (IND) clinical trials to address unmet patient needs in large markets, and recently completed enrollment in our Plantar Fasciitis and Knee Osteoarthritis studies. Finally, the buildout of our Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMP) facility remains on track, positioning us to benefit from favorable cost and quality controls throughout our entire product portfolio.”

2. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. See “Reconciliation of GAAP Net Sales to Adjusted Net Sales and Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA” for a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to Net loss, located in “Selected Unaudited Financial Information” of this release.

Net sales for the third quarter of 2020 were $64.3 million, primarily recognized on an “as-shipped” basis, a 28% decrease compared to net sales for the same period in 2019 of $88.9 million, recognized on a “cash-receipts” basis. Net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, include a benefit of $21.4 million resulting from a change in the Company’s methods for recognizing revenue from the time of cash collection to the time of shipment (the “Transition”). For more information regarding the Transition, refer to Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Included in the three months ended September 30, 2020, is $1.0 million of cash collected related to sales made prior to the transition in the Company’s revenue recognition methodology.

Adjusted net sales, which excludes impacts of the Company’s transition in revenue recognition and cash collected on the remaining contracts, were $63.3 million, a decrease of 6.2% from the third quarter of 2019. Cash collections in the third quarter of 2019 were higher than shipments in that period. On an “as-shipped” basis, revenue between the two periods were relatively consistent.

Gross margin in the third quarter of 2020 was 84.0% as compared to 85.1% in the third quarter of 2019. Excluding the impact of the transition in revenue recognition, gross margin in the current period was 84.0%, compared to 84.8% for the year ago period. This decrease is primarily a result of the higher quality standards of CGMP and lower production yield.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2020 were $48.0 million, or a decrease of 6.3% compared to the third quarter of 2019. The decrease was driven, in part, by lower expenses related to travel restrictions implemented by the Company, reduced severance expenses, and the result of fewer legal, consulting, and accounting expenses, exclusive of those recognized in investigation, restatement and related expenses.

Investigation, restatement and related expenses for the third quarter of 2020 were $12.0 million, consisting of costs incurred under indemnification agreements with the Company’s former management and the resolution of certain legal matters involving the Company. These expenses were $7.2 million in the third quarter of 2019, which primarily consisted of legal and restatement expenses.

Research and development expenses were $3.4 million for the third quarter of 2020, compared to $2.7 million for the third quarter of 2019. The increase is driven by consulting fees related to the Company’s clinical research efforts. The Company expects these costs to increase over time as it invests in additional clinical and scientific research, including internal product development, clinical efficacy and economic data, and pre-clinical research supportive of future growth objectives.

Net loss in the third quarter of 2020 was $19.4 million, and reflected the investigation, restatement and related expenses of $12.0 million, along with the $8.2 million loss on extinguishment of debt early in the quarter. This compares to net income of $12.4 million in the third quarter of 2019 that included a net benefit of $18.6 million related to the transition in the Company’s revenue recognition methodology and $7.2 million of investigation, restatement and related expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA was $6.9 million in the third quarter of 2020, or 10.8% of net sales, compared to $7.6 million in the third quarter of 2019, or 8.5% of net sales. The current period amount is 11.0% of adjusted net sales, compared to 11.2% of adjusted net sales in the prior year period, as the impact of continued cost management offset the higher level of R&D spending.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had approximately $109.6 million of cash and cash equivalents, compared to $69.1 million as of December 31, 2019. Cash and cash equivalents, net of debt, were $62.0 million at September 30, 2020, compared to $3.4 million at December 31, 2019.

Peter M. Carlson, MiMedx Chief Financial Officer, said, “By adapting to the current environment, we continue to manage our costs well and will remain prudent in our spending. Our healthy cash position, supported by $150 million in proceeds from our private equity and debt financings in July, gives us the financial flexibility to invest in initiatives that strengthen our core business, and to pursue new growth opportunities, including our late-stage pipeline that targets unmet patient needs, while also addressing remaining legal contingencies.”

Reconciliation of GAAP Net Sales to Adjusted Net Sales and Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

In addition to our GAAP results, we provide certain non-GAAP metrics including Adjusted Net Sales, Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA. We believe that the presentation of these measures provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding our performance. These measurements are not a substitute for GAAP measurements. Company management uses these Non-GAAP measurements 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. Adjusted Net Sales is intended to allow one to understand the trend, if any, in sales and to facilitate comparison of sales amounts in periods that used different revenue recognition methods. EBITDA is intended to provide a measure of the Company’s operating performance as it eliminates the effects of financing and capital expenditures. EBITDA consists of GAAP net loss excluding: (i) depreciation, (ii) amortization of intangibles, (iii) interest expense, net and (iv) loss on extinguishment of debt, and (v) income tax provision (benefit). Adjusted EBITDA is intended to provide a normalized view of EBITDA and our broader business operations that we expect to experience on an ongoing basis by removing items that may be irregular, one-time, or non-recurring from EBITDA; most significantly those expenses related to the Audit Committee investigation and restatement. This enables us to identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by such items. Adjusted EBITDA consists of GAAP net loss excluding: (i) depreciation, (ii) amortization of intangibles, (iii) interest expense, (iv) income tax provision (benefit), (v) costs incurred in connection with the Audit Committee investigation and restatement, (vi) the effect of the Company’s change in revenue recognition pattern, (vii) impairment of intangibles, and (viii) share-based compensation. A reconciliation of (i) Adjusted Net sales to GAAP Net Sales, (ii) GAAP Net Loss to EBITDA, and (iii) Adjusted EBITDA appears in the table below (in thousands).
