MARIETTA, Ga., May 02, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MiMedx Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: MDXG) (“MIMEDX” or the “Company”), a pioneer and leader in placental biologics, today announced operating and financial results for the first quarter 2023, which ended March 31, 2023, including net sales of $71.7 million, net loss of $5.0 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $5.5 million.

Joseph Capper, MIMEDX Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), commented, “Our first quarter 2023 results demonstrate an excellent level of focus and execution across our organization, particularly among our commercial team. Our double-digit net sales growth this quarter was driven by robust demand for our new products in the surgical market and an accelerated growth rate in the private physician office setting. Our entire product offering is winning across the care settings we serve, as we work to make our best-in-class placental biologics products available to a large and growing number of patients each day.”

Mr. Capper continued, “In addition to delivering strong top-line results, we continued to make progress on multiple structural and operational initiatives to improve the financial profile of the Company. Our gross margin improved sequentially, reversing the trend we had during 2022, and our operating expenses grew slower than sales, resulting in Adjusted EBITDA of $5.5 million for the quarter, a substantial increase over the prior year period. We are encouraged by the initial improvement in several of these financial metrics, and we look forward to continuing to build on these results.”

Recent Operating and Financial Highlights:

• Reported first quarter 2023 net sales of $71.7 million, an increase of 21.7% over first quarter 2022.
• Commented on recent data brief published by Office of Inspector General, applauding recommendation for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to quickly address issues associated with average sales price reporting requirements for skin substitute products.
• Announced upcoming Chief Financial Officer transition.

Segment Information

MIMEDX operates as two reportable segments: Wound & Surgical and Regenerative Medicine. A summary of the Company’s performance for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and three months ended March 31, 2022 by segment is included below (amounts in thousands):

Three Months Ended March 31, 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 March 31, 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 March 31, 2023, of $71.7 million, compared to $58.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of 21.7%. Net sales growth benefited from an improved environment in reaching customer accounts in 2023 following the challenges due to the Omicron wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2022. Increased net sales reflect solid contributions in both of the Wound & Surgical end markets, with continued uptake from new products, strong growth in the private physician office setting, one additional selling day as compared to the first quarter of 2022, and initial sales of EPIFIX^® in Japan.

Gross Profit and Margin

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was $59.3 million, an increase of $10.3 million as compared to the prior year period.

Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was 82.7% compared to 83.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Operating Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023, were $52.3 million compared to $49.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase primarily reflects higher commissions associated with increased sales.

Research and development expenses were $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily driven by higher costs associated with the initiation of our knee osteoarthritis ("KOA") clinical trial program.

Investigation, restatement and related expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $3.7 million compared to $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was $5.0 million compared to a net loss of $10.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had $61.2 million of cash and cash equivalents compared to $66.0 million as of December 31, 2022. The decrease during the quarter ended March 31, 2023 reflects continued investments in working capital and seasonal employee compensation expenses.

Financial Goals

The Company continues to believe the business is capable of delivering sales growth in the low double-digits as a percentage annually, driven by continued uptake of new products, solid demand across its sites of service and ramping contributions from sales in Japan.

As previously communicated, the Company has goals to achieve a Wound & Surgical segment contribution margin at or above 30% of segment net sales and corporate expenses as a percentage of sales below 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, 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 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, and (vi) share-based compensation.

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