EXHIBIT 99.1
MIMEDX Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2021
Operating and Financial Results

Fourth Quarter Net Sales of $67.4 Million and Full Year 2021 Net Sales of $258.6 Million; Reflects a Double-Digit Revenue Increase in the Company's Continuing Portfolio of Products

Vibrant Commercial Business is Funding New Product Development Initiatives and Promising Late-stage Musculoskeletal Pipeline

Management to Host Conference Call Today at 5:00 PM ET

MARIETTA, Ga., February 28, 2022 -- MiMedx Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: MDXG) (“MIMEDX” or the “Company”), a transformational placental biologics company, today announced the filing of its 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Timothy R. Wright, MIMEDX Chief Executive Officer, commented, “The above-market growth of 15% in our Advanced Wound Care products in 2021 is a direct result of the investments we have made to align our sales professionals, focus our territories on high-growth areas and streamline execution in a way that best serves our patients and customers. We are equipping the team with meaningful clinical, scientific and economic evidence, and reinforcing their efforts with medical education initiatives designed to amplify the important benefits of our leading technologies to patients, clinical decision makers and payers. Our recent health economic publication substantiates the potential positive impact of adopting PURION® processed EPIFIX® as part of a best-practices protocol to achieve clinically significant and cost-effective decreases in amputations and hospital utilization, while improving quality of life for patients. The continued establishment of rigorous data and supportive evidence is critical to elevating the standard of care for patients, and differentiates MIMEDX as a leading partner and provider of choice for our customers.”

Mr. Wright continued, "Looking to 2022, MIMEDX is well-poised for continued growth, and I am eager to lead the team forward in accomplishing the strategic initiatives we have outlined to further characterize our transformative potential. In anticipation of the upcoming EPIFIX launch in Japan, expected in mid-2022 following reimbursement approval, we are putting in place the necessary structure, medical education programs and market development initiatives to enable our commercial strategy as the first amniotic tissue on the market in Japan for hard-to-heal chronic wounds. In the U.S., our Product Development team is fueling our near-term pipeline with organic product innovations that broaden our portfolio and enable expansion into areas of unmet clinical need, the first two of which are planned for later this year: AMNIOEFFECT™ and our Placental Collagen Matrix product. Finally, we remain



invigorated by our late-stage musculoskeletal pipeline as a potential blockbuster drug opportunity. The science behind our placental biologics platform represents tremendous therapeutic potential, and we are methodically focused on initiating our Phase 3 Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA) trial program in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of micronized dehydrated human amnion chorion membrane (mdHACM) in the clinic."

Select Full Year 2021 and Recent Operating Highlights:
Received regulatory approval to commercialize EPIFIX in Japan
Joined the Russell 3000® and 2000® Indexes
Furthered the scientific understanding of the significant therapeutic potential of mdHACM in Knee Osteoarthritis
Achieved mid-teens double-digit top-line sales growth in continuing portfolio of products
Outlined the Company's long-term value creation strategy at the first Investor Day under the new MIMEDX leadership team
Published new research demonstrating that dehydrated human amnion chorion membrane (dHACM) outperforms the standard of care in select Mohs defect reconstructions
Published a peer-reviewed study in The Journal of Wound Care demonstrating that the use of PURION processed dHACM provides improved clinical benefits, shorter average length of treatment and increased quality-adjusted life years
Amended financial and minimum liquidity covenants within Hayfin Loan Agreement; Net positive for the Company provides continued financial flexibility
Remediated remaining material weaknesses in Company’s Internal Control environment

Peter M. Carlson, MIMEDX Chief Financial Officer, said, “MIMEDX has made extraordinary progress over the past two years to restore the Company’s financial credibility, reputation and overall foundation. Remediation of the remaining material weaknesses was a defined priority for us in 2021, and I am proud of the progress the team has made to strengthen our internal control environment."

See “Reconciliation of GAAP Net Sales to Adjusted Net Sales and Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA” for reconciliations of Adjusted Net Sales, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to the nearest GAAP measures, located in “Selected Unaudited Financial Information” of this release.

MIMEDX reported net sales for the fourth quarter 2021, of $67.4 million, compared to net sales for the same period in 2020 of $68.5 million. Net sales for both periods include cash collections on the remaining contracts outstanding at the time of the change in the Company's revenue recognition methodology: $0.1 million in the 2021 period and $0.5 million in the 2020 period.

Adjusted net sales for the fourth quarter 2021, which excludes cash collected on the remaining contracts, were $67.3 million compared to $68.0 million for the fourth quarter 2020. Adjusted net sales in these periods includes net sales of Section 351 products of $0.4 million and $8.7 million, respectively. Sales of our Advanced Wound Care products (see table below) increased $7.6 million, or 13% over the prior year, reflecting growth in the Company's AMNIOFIX® sheet portfolio for surgical recovery applications, and in the EPICORD® Expandable product line.

MIMEDX has two primary classes of products: (1) Advanced Wound Care, or Section 361, products, consisting of its tissue and cord sheet allograft products, and (2) Section 351 products, consisting of the Company’s micronized and particulate products, which prior to the end of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) period of Enforcement Discretion on May 31, 2021, were used to treat a variety of patient needs, including both advanced wound care and musculoskeletal applications. As of May 31, 2021, we no longer sell Section 351 products in the United States. Advanced Wound Care is further disaggregated between the Company’s Tissue/Other and Cord products. A summary of the Company's revenue, including revenue derived from its Section 351 products, is included in the table below (amounts in thousands):

1.In connection with guidance provided by the FDA in November 2017, the FDA chose to exercise enforcement discretion with respect to investigational new drug applications and pre-market approval requirements for certain products regulated as Human Cells, Tissues and Cellular and Tissue-Based Products (HCT/Ps) through May 31, 2021 (referred to as the period of Enforcement Discretion). As of May 31, 2021, we no longer sell Section 351 products in the United States.
2.“Other” includes cash collections on the Remaining Contracts. For more information, refer to Item 8, Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Net sales for the full year ended December 31, 2021 were $258.6 million compared to $248.2 million for the same period in 2020. Net sales for the full year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 include the benefit of $1.0 million in 2021 and $7.8 million in 2020 resulting from collections on the remaining contracts. For more information, refer to Item 8, Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

For the full year ended December 31, 2021, adjusted net sales were $257.6 million compared to $240.5 million for the full year 2020, an increase of 7.1%. Sales of our Advanced Wound Care products, which do not include our Section 351 products that we no longer sell in the U.S. following the end of the period of Enforcement Discretion, were $240.0 million in 2021, an increase of $31.4 million, or 15% year-over-year. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in sales volume due to lessening of restrictions implemented at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and reflects the initial results of our commercial efforts to focus strategically on areas of Surgical Recovery. We also saw growth in our EPIFIX sheet portfolio and a positive impact in sales of our EPICORD Expandable product, launched in September 2020.

Gross margin for the fourth quarter 2021, was 84.0% compared to 84.2% for the fourth quarter 2020. Gross margin for the full year ended December 31, 2021 was 83.3% compared to 84.2% for the full year 2020. The decrease in gross margin was driven primarily by write-downs related to products impacted by the end of the period of Enforcement Discretion, and certain other discontinued products.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the fourth quarter 2021, were $53.1 million, compared to $48.7 million for the fourth quarter 2020. The increase in SG&A expenses during the period was driven by higher professional fees and expansion of the sales force, as well as increases in travel



expenses over the prior year period, when the Company implemented travel restrictions at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. For the full year ended December 31, 2021, SG&A expenses were $198.4 million compared to $181.0 million for the same period in 2020. The full year 2021 increase reflects the restoration of full salary levels, which were restricted for a portion of 2020 as part of our response to the COVID-19 pandemic, expansion of the sales force, merit increases, and increased commissions from higher sales volumes as access to hospitals and other healthcare facilities increased. The Company also incurred $3.9 million of expenses associated with a proxy contest during the second quarter of 2021.

Research and development expenses were $4.6 million for the fourth quarter 2021, compared to $3.4 million for the fourth quarter 2020. For the full year ended December 31, 2021, research and development expenses were $17.3 million compared to $11.7 million for the same period in 2020. The increase reflects higher personnel costs, due to headcount increases to support investments in our clinical trials, the restoration of full salary levels, which were restricted for a portion of 2020, and merit increases. We also incurred higher consulting fees in 2021, primarily to assist in the evaluation of the results of our clinical trials. While the Company has increased its investments in clinical studies, it did not incur as much research and development expenses as anticipated, due to the delayed timing of clinical trials.

Investigation, restatement and related expenses for the fourth quarter 2021, were a benefit of $4.5 million compared to an expense of $20.4 million for the fourth quarter 2020. For the full year ended December 31, 2021, investigation, restatement and related expenses were $3.8 million compared to $59.5 million for the same period in 2020. During the three months ended December 31, 2021, MIMEDX incurred expenses toward the advancement of legal fees of certain former officers and directors of the Company, offset by recoveries from our Directors & Officers insurance program.

Net income for the fourth quarter 2021, was $2.2 million compared to a net loss of $16.6 million for the fourth quarter 2020. For the full year ended December 31, 2021, net loss was $10.3 million compared to a net loss of $49.3 million for the same period in 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter 2021, was $3.5 million, or 5.2% of adjusted net sales, compared to $10.3 million, or 15.2% of adjusted net sales, for the fourth quarter 2020. For the full year ended December 31, 2021, Adjusted EBITDA was $17.9 million, or 6.9% of adjusted net sales, compared to $30.6 million, or 12.7% of adjusted net sales for the same period in 2020.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $87.1 million of cash and cash equivalents, compared to $95.8 million as of December 31, 2020.





Outlook for 2022
The Company expects net sales of its continuing portfolio of products, which were $240.0 million in 2021, to grow 11% to 14% in 2022; we expect mid-single digit growth in the first quarter, building to a high-teens or 20% growth in the fourth quarter. The Company expects gross margin for 2022 to be slightly lower than 2021. Management anticipates beginning the Phase 3 KOA clinical trial program in 2022, and expects the cost to be approximately $30 million, representing $15 million per trial for two trials incurred over the next three years. The Company expects research and development expenses to increase over 2021 as it plans and begins these new clinical trials and executes other product development initiatives.

MIMEDX will host a conference call and webcast to review its fourth quarter and full year 2021 results on Monday, February 28, 2021, beginning at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time. The call can be accessed using the following information:

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 investing activities. EBITDA consists of GAAP net loss excluding: (i) depreciation, (ii) amortization of intangibles, (iii) interest expense, net, (iv) loss on extinguishment of debt, and (v) income tax provision. Adjusted EBITDA is intended to provide an enduring, normalized view of EBITDA and our broader business operations that we expect to experience on an ongoing basis by removing certain non-cash items and items that may be irregular, non-recurring, or non-cash items not excluded when calculating EBITDA. In particular, this includes those expenses related to the investigation, completed in May 2019, conducted by the Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") into prior-period matters relating to allegations regarding certain sales and distribution practices at the Company and certain other matters (the "investigation" or the "Audit Committee Investigation"), the restatement of our consolidated financial statements previously filed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, as well as selected unaudited condensed consolidated financial data as of and for the years ended December 31, 2015 (Restated) and 2014 (Restated), which reflected adjustments to our previously filed consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 (collectively, the "Restatement"), and related litigation. This also includes share-based compensation, which is predominantly settled in shares. 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) loss on extinguishment of debt, (v) income tax provision, (vi) costs incurred in connection with Audit Committee Investigation and Restatement, (vii) the effect of the change in revenue recognition on net loss, (viii) share-based compensation, and (ix) impairment of intangible assets.
