Recent Operational Highlights

Published early SILVIA results which demonstrate the feasibility and safety of pelvic fixation and fusion with iFuse-3D and highlighted the prevalence of SI joint pain in 16% of the patients undergoing deformity surgery
Built on the success of iFuse TORQ with interventional spine physicians and completed the first SI joint allograft procedure, reimbursed under CPT 27278, using iFuse INTRA

“2023 was a year of records for us, as our annual worldwide revenue growth exceeded 30%, led by over 32% procedure volume growth in the U.S. I am proud of our team’s stellar execution as we supported a record 1,600 U.S. physicians to help improve the lives of nearly 15,000 patients in the U.S., while driving substantial operating leverage and reduction in cash usage,” said Laura Francis, Chief Executive Officer. “I expect 2024 to be an exciting year for us as we capitalize on favorable demand dynamics, launch products across each of our target markets, and make significant progress toward our Adjusted EBITDA breakeven goal.”

Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Worldwide revenue was $38.9 million in the fourth quarter 2023, a ~22% increase from $32.0 million in the corresponding period in 2022. U.S. revenue for the fourth quarter 2023 was $36.7 million, an increase of ~22% from $30.0 million in the corresponding period in 2022. International revenue was $2.2 million in the fourth quarter 2023 compared to $2.0 million in the corresponding period in 2022.

Gross margin was ~74% for the fourth quarter 2023, compared to ~84% in the corresponding period in 2022. Gross margin in the fourth quarter 2023 was impacted by procedure and product mix as well as the impact of higher depreciation from instrument trays, depreciation associated with our second facility in Santa Clara, and higher freight costs. The fourth quarter 2023 gross margin also reflects a ~4 percentage point reduction from a $1.7 million excess inventory reserve.

Operating expenses increased ~8% to $41.2 million in the fourth quarter 2023, compared to $38.2 million in the corresponding period in 2022. The change in operating expenses was primarily driven by higher commission related to revenue growth, increase in compensation as well as research and development investments.

Net loss improved by ~2% to $11.0 million, or $0.27 per diluted share for the fourth quarter 2023, as compared to a net loss of $11.2 million, or $0.32 per diluted share in the corresponding period in 2022. Net loss per diluted share for the fourth quarter 2023 includes the impact of the increase in shares outstanding as a result of the follow-on common stock offering in May 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA loss, including the $1.7 million impact from excess inventory reserve, declined by approximately ~16% to $4.8 million in the fourth quarter 2023 compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $4.2 million in the corresponding period in 2022.

2023 Financial Results

Worldwide revenue was $138.9 million for 2023, a ~31% increase from $106.4 million in 2022. U.S. revenue for 2023 was $130.6 million, a ~32% increase from $98.8 million in 2022. International revenue was $8.3 million in 2023 compared to $7.7 million in 2022.

Gross margin was ~79% for 2023, compared to ~85% in 2022. In 2023, gross margin was impacted by procedure and product mix, higher depreciation from instrument trays, depreciation associated with the second facility in Santa Clara, and freight costs. The 2023 gross margin reflects a ~1 percentage point reduction from excess inventory reserve.

Operating expenses increased ~4% to $156.4 million in 2023, compared to $150.3 million in 2022. The change in operating expenses was primarily driven by higher commission related to revenue growth, increase in compensation as well as research and development investments offset by timing of certain commercial activity, lower headcount and travel costs.

Net loss improved by ~29% to $43.3 million, or $1.13 per diluted share for 2023, as compared to a net loss $61.3 million, or $1.79 per diluted share in 2022. Net loss per diluted share for 2023 includes the impact of the increase in shares outstanding as a result of the follow-on common stock offering in May 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA loss, which includes the impact of excess inventory reserve, improved by ~48% to $17.3 million for 2023, compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $33.2 million in 2022.

Cash and marketable securities were ~$166.0 million as of December 31, 2023.

2024 Financial Guidance

SI-BONE expects 2024 worldwide revenue of $162 million to $165 million, implying year-over-year growth of ~17% to ~19%. SI-BONE estimates fiscal year 2024 gross margin to be ~78% and operating expenses growth to be ~9%. Based on these assumptions, SI-BONE expects significant year-over-year improvement in Adjusted EBITDA loss for full year 2024.

Forward-Looking Statements

The statements in this press release regarding expectations of future events or results, including SI-BONE’s expectations of continued revenue and procedure growth and financial outlook, contained in this press release are "forward-looking" statements. These forward-looking statements are based on SI-BONE's current expectations and inherently involve significant risks and uncertainties. These risks include SI-BONE's ability to introduce and commercialize new products and indications, SI-BONE's ability to maintain favorable reimbursement for procedures using its products, the impact of any future economic weakness on the ability and desire of patients to undergo elective procedures including those using SI-BONE's devices, SI-BONE's ability to manage risks to its supply chain, and future capital requirements driven by new surgical systems requiring investment in instrument trays and implant inventory. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of these and other risks and uncertainties, many of which are described in the company's most recent filings on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, and the company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) available at the SEC's Internet site (www.sec.gov), especially under the caption "Risk Factors". SI-BONE does not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements and expressly disclaims any obligations or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein, except as required by law.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

SI-BONE uses Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measures that excludes from net loss the effects of interest income, interest expense, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation. SI-BONE believes the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is useful to management because it allows management to more consistently analyze period-to-period financial performance and provides meaningful supplemental information with respect to core operational activities used to evaluate management's performance. SI-BONE also believes the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and other interested persons as it enables these persons to use this additional information to assess the company’s performance in using this additional metric that management uses to assess the company’s performance.

Adjusted EBITDA should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA excludes the effect of items that increase or decrease the Company's reported results of operations, management strongly encourages investors to review, when they become available, the Company's consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety. The Company's definition of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from similarly titled measures used by others.
