Management to Host Conference Call Today, October 30, 2024, at 4:30 PM ET

MARIETTA, Ga., Oct. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MiMedx Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: MDXG) ("MIMEDX” or the "Company”), today announced operating and financial results for the third quarter 2024.

Joseph H. Capper, MIMEDX Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Our solid third quarter 2024 results include total net sales growth of 3% year-over-year and an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 22%, both compared to tough comparisons in the third quarter of 2023. During the quarter, we strengthened our commercial organization, filling roles throughout the country, and continued to execute on our strategic priorities, which I believe will put us in the best position to lead this space over the long term. This performance, along with the associated free cash flow generation, demonstrates the strength of our Company even as we weather reimbursement-related market disruption. As a result, we now expect our 2024 net sales growth will be on the upper end of our prior stated guidance range of mid-to-high single-digits."

Mr. Capper continued, "During the quarter, we continued conversations with CMS, lawmakers and the MACs, leaving us optimistic that change is coming to address the runaway Medicare spend in the private office and associated care settings, which is now over $1 billion per month.   As we have known for some time, and The New York Times recently pointed out, the potential for placental tissue products is enormous. Our unwavering commitment to research and evidence production designed to support expanded utilization of our products puts us in an advantageous position as more clinicians seek to incorporate placental allografts into their practices."

Net Sales

MIMEDX reported net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2024, of $84 million, compared to $82 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of 3%. The increase was primarily driven by growing contributions from its AMNIOEFFECT^® and EPIEFFECT^® products and initial contributions associated with sales of our recently launched HELIOGEN^® product, partially offset by commercial challenges associated with recent turnover of certain of our sales team and customers, declines in sales of AXIOFILL^® and the conclusion of sales of our dental product during the third quarter 2023.

Gross Profit and Margin

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2024, was $69 million, an increase of $2 million as compared to the prior year period. Gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was 81.8%, compared to 81.9% in the prior year period. While third quarter 2024 gross margin was negatively impacted by the amortization of distribution rights stemming from the TELA Bio, Inc. and Regenity Biosciences agreements entered into during the first quarter of 2024, this impact was offset by favorable product mix and continued execution on improvements in manufacturing scale up, including reductions in scrap and improvements in yield.

Operating Expenses

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024, were $54 million compared to $53 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in SG&A was driven by year-over-year increases in compensation related to higher salary and benefit costs from merit raises, promotions, as well as commissions driven by increases in sales volumes and proportionally higher sales through sales agents. Incremental spend from legal and regulatory disputes in the current period also contributed to the increase.

Research and development ("R&D") expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024, were $3 million compared to $3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. R&D spend in the quarter was driven, in part, by the randomized controlled trial for EPIEFFECT and ongoing investments in the development of future products in our pipeline.

Investigation, restatement and related expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024, was $1 million compared to an immaterial benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The benefit in the third quarter 2023 resulted from various settlements, including those with former officers and other matters.

Net income from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $8 million compared to $9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $89 million of cash and cash equivalents compared to $82 million as of December 31, 2023. As of September 30, 2024, our cash position, net of debt on our balance sheet, was $70 million, representing a sequential increase of $20 million.

Financial Outlook

For 2024, MIMEDX expects net sales growth to be in the high single-digits as a percentage compared to 2023. 2024 Adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to be above 20% on a full year basis.

Longer-term, the Company continues to expect to achieve annual net sales growth in the low double-digits as a percentage with an adjusted EBITDA margin above 20%.
