    Second Quarter Net Sales Increase 27% to $68.2 million Versus Q2 2020

    On Track to Deliver Topline Results for Late-Stage Musculoskeletal Pipeline in Late Summer

    Company to Host Conference Call on August 4, 2021, at 8:30 AM ET

    MARIETTA, Ga., Aug. 03, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MiMedx Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: MDXG) (“MIMEDX” or the “Company”), an industry leader in utilizing amniotic tissue as a platform for regenerative medicine, today announced the filing of its second quarter 2021 Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2021.

    Timothy R. Wright, MIMEDX Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our expanded commercial team is working aggressively toward the goal of achieving above-market growth for our Advanced Wound Care business, and executing on multiple initiatives that reinforce the differentiation of our products and convey the clinical and economic value of our brands. As the only data-driven amniotic tissue allograft to have complete national commercial coverage for the treatment of Diabetic Foot Ulcers, we continue to leverage our expansive reimbursement coverage and invest in medical education programs that are designed to raise awareness on the appropriate and timely use of our Advanced Wound Care products. It is imperative that we continue to grow this base business to support patients in need.”

    Mr. Wright continued, “I applaud the team for their efforts to exercise strong leadership and exceptional customer service throughout the end of the period of Enforcement Discretion. Our proactive and continued dialogue with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) enabled us to mitigate customer disruption, dispel misinformation, and partner with customers throughout the transition. Backed by years of clinical, tissue engineering, and manufacturing knowledge about the science of amniotic tissue, MIMEDX is well-positioned to advance into a more rigorously regulated biologics pathway, and we are making significant progress on the critical steps necessary for a complete and potentially successful Biologics License Application (BLA). We remain on track to share topline results for our Plantar Fasciitis and Knee Osteoarthritis programs by late summer and review these data with the FDA."

    Second Quarter 2021 and Recent Operating Highlights:

    • Announced a collaborative agreement with the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM) to develop and advance scientific evidence in support of safe and effective clinical therapies
    • Received regulatory approval to commercialize PURION® processed EPIFIX® in Japan

    MIMEDX reported net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2021, of $68.2 million, a $14.6 million increase compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020, in which the Company reported revenue of $53.6 million. Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2021, includes revenue recognized on the remaining contracts of $0.3 million, compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

    Adjusted net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2021, which excludes cash collected on the remaining contracts outstanding at the time of the change in the Company's revenue recognition methodology, were $67.9 million compared to $51.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of 30.6%. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in sales volume over the prior year period, which was previously impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Sales from EPICORD® Expandable, which the Company launched in the second half of 2020, growth in the flagship EPIFIX® sheet portfolio, and sales of Section 351 products prior to the end of Enforcement Discretion contributed to the year-over-year increase in net sales.

    MIMEDX has two primary classes of products: (1) Advanced Wound Care, or Section 361, products, consisting of its sheet allograft products, and (2) Section 351 products, consisting of the Company’s micronized and particulate products. Advanced Wound Care is further disaggregated between the Company’s Tissue/Other and Cord products. A summary of the Company's revenue, including revenue derived from its Section 351 products, is included in the table below (amounts in thousands):

     Three Months Ended June 30,  Six Months Ended June 30,
     2021  2020  2021  2020
    Advanced Wound Care          
    Tissue/Other$53,408   $42,528   $99,977   $87,134

    Total$68,165   $53,647   $128,132   $115,383  
               
    1. “Other” represents cash collections on the Remaining Contracts. Remaining Contracts are those contracts for which performance obligations have been satisfied as of September 30, 2019, but for which the criteria required for revenue recognition had not been met and would not be met until the ultimate collection of cash. For all practicable purposes, the Company is not able to allocate these revenues to different product groups.

    Gross profit margin for the three months ended June 30, 2021, was 81.3% compared to 84.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily due to reserves recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2021, specifically related to Section 351 products, resulting from the end of the FDA's Enforcement Discretion period. Additionally, negative production variances from lower than planned production volumes affected gross profit margin.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2021, increased $16.3 million, or 43.6%, to $53.6 million, compared to $37.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses during the current period reflects the restoration of full-salary levels and merit increases that were previously restricted during the prior period, along with significantly reduced travel costs in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company also saw consulting and advisory expenses rise year-over-year, including $3.8 million related to the proxy contest during the second quarter 2021. Furthermore, the increase in selling, general and administrative expense was driven by year-over-year increases in commission expenses resulting from the increases in sales volume.

    Research and development expenses were $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase reflects higher consulting fees, increases in personnel costs, and additional head-count to support the Company's clinical research efforts. In addition, the Company, as planned, increased its investments in preclinical studies, supportive of current and potential clinical study indications. MIMEDX expects these costs to increase over time as the Company commences new clinical trials and continues working toward the filing of BLAs. The amount and timing of these expenses are partially dependent on whether interim results from MIMEDX's ongoing IND clinical trials merit further investment.

    Investigation, restatement and related expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2021, was a benefit of $2.1 million compared to an expense of $11.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The benefit incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2021, reflects funds received from certain director and officer insurance policies, as well as negotiated reductions in previously recognized legal expenses advanced on behalf of certain former members of management. While MIMEDX expects to continue to incur some litigation costs moving forward, the Company anticipates continued reduction in investigation, restatement and related expenses, other than costs related to resolution of the securities class action matter, the amount and timing of which are highly uncertain. For additional details, see Note 12, “Commitments and Contingencies,” in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements on Form 10-Q.

    Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2021, was $1.8 million compared to a net loss of $8.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

    Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2021, was $2.8 million, or 4.2% of adjusted net sales, compared to $10.2 million, or 19.7% of adjusted net sales, for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

    As of June 30, 2021, the Company had $85.0 million of cash and cash equivalents, compared to $95.8 million as of December 31, 2020.

    Enforcement Discretion

    In November 2017, the FDA developed the regenerative medicine policy framework to support innovations in regenerative medicine therapies, including human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products (HCT/Ps). As a result of the COVID-19 public health emergency, the FDA extended the Enforcement Discretion policy for certain HCT/Ps that do not raise reported safety concerns or potential significant safety concerns, from November 2020 to May 31, 2021. On April 21, 2021, the FDA reaffirmed that the period of Enforcement Discretion would not be extended and would therefore end on May 31, 2021.

    Outlook for 2021

    The Company expects that adjusted net sales for 2021 will be consistent with the prior year. This reflects the end of the period of Enforcement Discretion on May 31, 2021, and is in line with the expected impact previously disclosed in the Company’s 2021 Outlook, within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

    Reconciliation of GAAP Net Sales to Adjusted Net Sales and Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

    In addition to our GAAP results, we provide certain non-GAAP metrics including Adjusted Net Sales, Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA. 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. Adjusted Net Sales is intended to allow one to understand the trend, if any, in sales and to facilitate comparison of sales amounts in periods that used different revenue recognition methods. 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; most significantly those expenses related to the Audit Committee Investigation and Restatement. This also includes share-based compensation, which is predominantly settled in shares. 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, (iv) income tax provision, (v) (benefits) costs incurred in connection with the Audit Committee Investigation and Restatement, (vi) the effect of the Company’s change in revenue recognition on net loss, and (vii) share-based compensation.
