Aziyo Biologics Reports Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results

 

SILVER SPRING, Md. – November 19, 2020 – Aziyo Biologics, Inc. (Nasdaq: AZYO), a commercial-stage regenerative medicine company focused on creating the next generation of differentiated products and improving outcomes in patients undergoing surgery, today reported financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

 

Recent Highlights

·Recorded net sales of $11.8 million for the third quarter of 2020, representing a 6% increase over the third quarter of 2019
o31% growth in Core Products over Q3 2019
·Completed initial public offering, raising approximately $43.0 million in net proceeds, after deducting underwriting fees and other expenses
·Awarded “breakthrough technology” designation and subsequent group purchasing agreement from Premier Inc. to provide its alliance of approximately 4,100 U.S. hospitals and 200,000 other providers with access to Aziyo’s CanGaroo® Envelope
·Expanded partnership with Surgalign Holdings to include the distribution of Aziyo’s ViBone® Moldable, a next generation moldable cellular bone matrix product

 

“Our third quarter results reflect the strong performance of our Core Products, which showed year-over-year growth in sales over 30%,” said Ron Lloyd, Chief Executive Officer. “Following our initial public offering in October, we are now better positioned financially and operationally to deliver on the opportunity we have in three large markets within regenerative medicine: implantable electronic devices, orthopedic and spine repair, and soft tissue reconstruction. Today, we are addressing this estimated $3 billion market with a comprehensive and growing portfolio of next-generation products driven by an expanding commercial team and partnerships with industry leaders.

 

“Looking ahead, we're especially excited about our strong pipeline of anticipated new product launches, including a growing platform opportunity with CanGaroo to potentially reduce complications associated with a range of implantable electronic devices,” concluded Lloyd.

 

Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Net sales for the third quarter of 2020 were $11.8 million, an increase of 6%, compared to the third quarter of 2019. The increase was driven primarily by growth of the company’s proprietary Core Products, which delivered sales of $10.3 million, a 31% increase over Q3 2019.

 

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2020 was $5.5 million and gross margin was 47%, as compared to 50% in the corresponding prior-year period. Gross margin, excluding intangible asset amortization (a non-GAAP financial measure) was 54% for the third quarter of 2020, as compared to 57% in the third quarter of 2019. The decrease in gross margin in Q3 2020 primarily resulted from a two-week shutdown of the company’s main production facility, resulting in plant costs being charged directly to cost of goods sold during this shutdown period rather than being a component of inventory, which allowed for the early completion of maintenance activities that would otherwise take place closer to year-end.

Total operating expenses were $8.2 million for the third quarter of 2020, as compared to $7.4 million in the corresponding prior year period, an increase of 11%. The increase was driven primarily by investments in research and development and increased general and administrative expenses in anticipation of the company’s initial public offering.

 

Net loss was $6.7 million in the third quarter of 2020, as compared to $3.1 million in the corresponding period of the prior year. Loss per share in the third quarter of 2020, which includes the accretion of deemed dividends to the preferred stockholders, was $15.79 per share, compared to a loss of $4.81 per share in the third quarter of 2019.

 

Cash and cash equivalents were $1.6 million as of September 30, 2020. However, following the end of the third quarter of 2020, Aziyo completed its initial public offering, raising approximately $43.0 million of net proceeds, after deducting underwriting fees and other expenses.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

This press release presents our gross margin, excluding intangible asset amortization. We calculate gross margin, excluding intangible asset amortization, as gross profit, excluding amortization expense relating to intangible assets we acquired in our acquisition of all of the commercial assets of CorMatrix Cardiovascular, Inc. in 2017, divided by net sales. Gross margin, excluding intangible asset amortization, is a supplemental measure of our performance, is not defined by or presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, (“GAAP”), has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to our GAAP gross margin, gross profit or any other financial performance measure presented in accordance with GAAP. We present gross margin, excluding intangible asset amortization, because we believe that it provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our operating performance by removing the impact of amortization expense, which is not indicative of our overall operating performance. We believe this provides our management and investors with useful information to facilitate period-to-period comparisons of our operating results. Our management uses this metric in assessing the health of our business and our operating performance, and we believe investors’ understanding of our operating performance is similarly enhanced by our presentation of this metric.

 

Although we use gross margin, excluding intangible asset amortization, as described above, this metric has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may use other measures to evaluate their performance, which could reduce the usefulness of this non-GAAP financial measure as a tool for comparison.

 

 

 

The following table presents a reconciliation of our gross margin, excluding intangible asset amortization, to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, which is our GAAP gross margin (in thousands).
