BELGRADE, Mont., March 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xtant Medical Holdings, Inc. (NYSE American: XTNT), a global medical technology company focused on surgical solutions for the treatment of spinal disorders, today reported financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022.

“Highlighted by strong fourth quarter revenue results and last week’s acquisition of the Coflex® product line, we are executing on our key growth initiatives,” said Sean Browne, President and CEO of Xtant Medical. “We continue to generate robust demand for our biologics products, which grew 14% for the quarter, and improve our operating efficiencies by increasing our production capacity that now has us well-positioned to sustain our momentum in 2023. Additionally, with the addition of the Coflex product line, we significantly enhanced our fixation offering at ASCs and outpatient facilities. We are excited to add proven treatment devices while expanding our commercial team and distributor network, all of which are core focus areas to our long-term growth strategy.”

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Financial Results

Fourth quarter 2022 revenue grew 9% to $15.3 million, compared to $14.0 million for the same quarter in 2021. Full year 2022 revenue was $58.0 million, compared to $55.3 million for 2021. The increase in revenue was largely attributable to our new products.

Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2022 was 54.4%, compared to 55.1% for the same period in 2021 and 55.4% for the full year 2022, compared to 58.8% for the full year 2021. These decreases were primarily attributable to higher production costs with increased charges for excess and obsolete inventory also contributing to the full year decline.

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2022 totaled $10.0 million, compared to $9.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, and were $38.9 million for the full year 2022 compared to $36.3 million for the full year 2021. The increase for the quarterly comparison was primarily due to higher independent agent commission expenses. The increase for the annual comparison was primarily due to higher independent agent commission expenses and employee compensation expenses as well as costs related to ERP system upgrades, partially offset by lower legal settlement expenses.

Fourth quarter 2022 net loss totaled $2.2 million, or $0.02 per share, compared to the fourth quarter 2021 net loss of $2.3 million, or $0.03 per share. Net loss for 2022 was $8.5 million, or $0.09 per share, compared to a net loss of $4.8 million, or $0.06 per share, for 2021.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2022 totaled a loss of $0.8 million, compared to Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss of $0.9 million for the same period in 2021. Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA for 2022 totaled a loss of $3.0 million, compared to a gain of $0.3 million for 2021. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income/loss from operations before depreciation, amortization and interest expense and provision for income taxes, and as further adjusted to add back in or exclude, as applicable, non-cash compensation and legal settlement reserves. A calculation and reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss can be found in the attached financial tables.
