MARIETTA, Ga., Aug. 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MiMedx Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: MDXG) (“MIMEDX” or the “Company”), today announced operating and financial results for the second quarter 2023, which ended June 30, 2023, including net sales of $81.3 million, net income of $1.2 million and Adjusted EBITDA ¹ of $14.1 million.

Joseph H. Capper, MIMEDX Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our second quarter results demonstrate excellent momentum in the business, as we continue to see increasing demand for our products across all sites of service.   The Company’s 21.5% top-line growth was driven by solid execution on the part of our commercial team, which continues to out-perform the market.   Our Operations team also deserves tremendous credit for not only ensuring production levels to meet this increasing demand, but to do so in a highly efficient manner, resulting in an improved gross margin percentage.

“We were also excited to record a much improved second quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $14.1 million, representing 17.4% of net sales. With the elimination of the expenses that were associated with our knee osteoarthritis ("KOA") development project, we now expect our Adjusted EBITDA margin in the second half of 2023 to be above 20%, demonstrating excellent leverage as the business scales.

“As a result of our progress to date, we are increasing guidance for our full-year 2023 net sales percentage growth rate to be in the mid to high teens.

“Finally, we could not be more pleased with the arrival of Doug Rice, who has joined MIMEDX as our new CFO, rounding out a team of highly accomplished and seasoned healthcare executives, capable of taking the Company to new heights.”

Recent Operating and Financial Highlights:

• Announced strategic realignment; increasing focus on Wound & Surgical businesses and positioning the Company with opportunity to significantly improve profitability.

Segment Information

MIMEDX’s second quarter results are summarized using the Company’s two reportable segments: Wound & Surgical and Regenerative Medicine. Following the announced strategic realignment in June 2023, the Company anticipates it will present its financial results as one segment prospectively. A summary of the Company’s performance for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and three months ended June 30, 2022 by segment is included below (amounts in thousands):

Three Months Ended June 30, 2023

Note: Net sales in Corporate & Other reflect the Company's only sales of Dental products, from a contract under which sales will terminate in 2023.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2022

Note: Net sales in Corporate & Other reflect the Company's only sales of Dental products, from a contract under which sales will terminate in 2023.

Net Sales

MIMEDX reported net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2023 of $81.3 million, compared to $66.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of 21.5%. Net sales growth benefited from strong demand for the Company’s Wound & Surgical product offering across all of its sites-of-service and continued uptake of new products launched in the last twelve months.

Gross Profit and Margin

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2023, was $67.7 million an increase of $12.6 million, as compared to the prior year period.

Gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2023, was 83.3% compared to 82.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The year-over-year improvement in gross margins was driven by continued execution on yield improvement projects as well as favorable product mix, with increased sales in higher margin care settings.

Operating Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023, were $51.9 million compared to $55.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease primarily reflects continued focus on expense management, more than offsetting higher commissions associated with increased sales.

Research and development expenses were $8.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $5.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily driven by clinical trial costs as well as severance expense associated with the Company’s strategic realignment announced in June 2023.

Restructuring expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023 were $3.3 million, reflecting certain charges related to the disbanding of our Regenerative Medicine business unit, including write-downs of prepaid clinical trial costs and other wind-down activities.

Investigation, restatement and related expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 were $1.0 million compared to $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2023, was $1.2 million compared to a net loss of $10.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Liquidity

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $68.7 million of cash and cash equivalents compared to $61.2 million as of March 31, 2023 and $66.0 million as of December 31, 2022. Also as of June 30, 2023, the Company had $48.8 million in long term debt, essentially flat versus the prior year period.

For the second quarter 2023, the Company generated operating cash flows of $7.8 million, compared operating cash flow usage of $3.0 million in the prior year period. Also, for the second quarter 2023, the Company generated Free Cash Flow ² of $7.5 million, compared to negative Free Cash Flow of $3.4 million in the prior year period.

Financial Goals

Based upon the strong commercial momentum in the business on a year-to-date basis, MIMEDX expects full year 2023 net sales growth in the mid-to-upper teens as a percentage, driven by continued demand for the Company’s Wound & Surgical product offering across its sites of service, and ongoing uptake of new products launched in the last twelve months.

Additionally, based in part on the financial benefits associated with the Company’s recently announced strategic realignment, Adjusted EBITDA margin in the second half of 2023 is expected to exceed 20%.

Selected Unaudited Financial Information

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to our GAAP results, we provide certain non-GAAP metrics including Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”), Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and related margins. 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.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin
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) income tax provision. 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 certain non-cash items and items that may be irregular, one-time, or non-recurring from EBITDA. 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, net, (iv) income tax provision, (v) investigation, restatement and related expenses, (vi) expenses related to disbanding of the Regenerative Medicine business unit and (vii) share-based compensation.

A reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA appears in the table below (in thousands):

We are not able to provide a reconciliation of our Adjusted EBITDA margin expectation to the corresponding GAAP measure without unreasonable effort because of the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of the non-recurring and other items that are excluded from such non-GAAP financial measures. Such adjustments in future periods are generally expected to be similar to the kinds of charges excluded from such non-GAAP financial measures in prior periods. The exclusion of these charges and costs in future periods could have a significant impact on our non-GAAP financial measures.

Free Cash Flow
Free Cash Flow is intended to provide a measure of our ability to generate cash in excess of capital investments. It provides management with a view of cash flows which can be used to finance operational and strategic investments.

Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures, including purchases of equipment.
