“I am proud of the team's execution as we defied industry seasonality and delivered another exceptional quarter with a 34% increase in U.S. procedure volume, as we exceeded 1,000 U.S. active surgeons in a quarter for the first time in company's history. Additionally, we continued our progress toward profitability as the record revenue in the quarter translated to significant operating leverage and reduced cash usage," said Laura Francis, Chief Executive Officer. "As we exit 2023 with strong momentum, our planned product portfolio expansions combined with the demand inflection in our large addressable market of almost half a million annual procedures gives me confidence that we are in the early phase of growing demand for our solutions. As well, we have the operational framework and strong balance sheet to deliver long-term, strong and sustainable revenue growth."

Worldwide revenue was $34.0 million in the third quarter 2023, a 29% increase from $26.4 million in the corresponding period in 2022. U.S. revenue for the third quarter 2023 was $32.3 million, a 31% increase from $24.6 million in the corresponding period in 2022.

Operating expenses increased 6% to $38.1 million in the third quarter 2023, as compared to $35.8 million in the corresponding period in 2022. The change in operating expenses was primarily driven by increases in commission related to revenue growth, research and development investments, and commercial activities to support revenue and active surgeon growth.

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, future capital requirements driven by new surgical systems requiring instrument tray investment, and the pace of the re-normalization of the healthcare operating environment including the ability and desire of patients and physicians to undergo and perform procedures using SI-BONE's devices. 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 SI-BONE'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.
