    Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Results Discussion2

    Net Sales

    MIMEDX reported net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2023, of $87 million, compared to $74 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, an increase of 17%. Net sales growth came from solid contributions in both the Wound & Surgical end markets and across each of our main sites of service.

    For the full year 2023, MIMEDX reported net sales of $321 million, compared to $268 million in the prior year period, reflecting growth of 20%, which was also driven by a combination of contributions in Wound & Surgical and across our sites of service.

    _________________________
    2 The following discussion of the Company's fourth quarter and full year 2023 results are made on a "continuing operations basis" and exclude the historical costs of the Regenerative Medicine business unit, which was disbanded beginning in June 2023. For a full discussion of the impact of these discontinued operations, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2023.

    Gross Profit and Margin

    Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2023, was $73 million, an increase of $13 million as compared to the prior year period. Gross margin for the three months ended December 31, 2023 was 84.1%, compared to 80.7% in the prior year period. The year-over-year improvement in gross margin was driven by favorable product mix and our continued execution on yield improvement projects.

    For the full year 2023, gross profit was $267 million, reflecting an increase of $47 million compared to the prior year period. Additionally, gross margin for the full year 2023 was 83.0%, compared to 82.0% for the full year 2022 and the improvement was also driven by improved yields and a favorable product mix.

    Operating Expenses

    Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2023, were $54 million compared to $50 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022. SG&A expense during the fourth quarter 2023 included increased sales commissions due to higher sales volumes.

    For the full year 2023, SG&A expenses totaled $211 million, compared to $209 million for the prior year period, reflecting year over year growth of 1.1%. The increase was driven by higher levels of sales commissions due to higher sales volumes, as well as increases in stock-based compensation in 2023. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in professional services related to certain administrative expenses, including severance expenses associated with the departure of our former CEO in 2022.

    Research and development expenses were $2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to $3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022. For the full year 2023, research and development expenses remained essentially flat at $13 million compared to 2022. Our R&D expenses in 2022 and 2023 were primarily driven by the development and launches of our newest products in the portfolio - AMNIOEFFECT, AXIOFILL and EPIEFFECT - along with additional early-stage Wound & Surgical products in development.

    Investigation, restatement and related expense for the three months ended December 31, 2023 was $1 million, compared to $3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022. For the full year 2023, investigation, restatement and related expenses totaled $5 million compared to $12 million in 2022. The decrease was related to negotiated reductions in legal fees previously incurred. In addition, following the end of a legal proceeding, expenses under our last material proceeding involving indemnification of former officers and directors substantially ceased in 2023.

    Net income from continuing operations for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2023, were $51 million and $67 million, respectively, compared to a net income from continuing operations of $2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and a net loss from continuing operations of $20 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. Net income from continuing operations for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2023 were positively impacted by a $37 million income tax provision benefit, reflecting a non-cash reversal of a valuation allowance that was previously recorded against the deferred tax asset balance. The reversal was a result of an analysis following the Company's conclusion that the Company's disbanded Regenerative Medicine segment qualified as a discontinued operation, in concert with the Company’s operating results.

    Cash and Cash Equivalents

    As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $82 million of cash and cash equivalents compared to $66 million as of December 31, 2022 and $81 million as of September 30, 2023. The increase during the year ended December 31, 2023 was primarily a result of year-over-year increases in net sales, which drove increases in collections from customers, as well as year-over-year decreases in operating expenses, partially offset by the $9.5 million repurchase of a portion of the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, held by certain funds managed by Hayfin Capital Management, LLP in October 2023.

    Financial Goals

    The Company's goal is to deliver net sales percentage growth in the low double-digits annually.

    In 2024, the Company expects to see continued growth in both the Wound and Surgical end markets, despite more difficult prior year growth comparisons. In particular, the Company continues to anticipate solid growth in the private office setting driven by the recent launch of EPIEFFECT and ongoing changes in purchasing behaviors related to Medicare reimbursement. Additionally, the Company expects to continue to drive growth across a variety of Surgical use cases as the body of evidence for utilization of its Surgical products, such as AMNIOEFFECT, continues to grow.

    For the full year 2024, the Company expects its Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of net sales to be above 20%.

    Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

    In addition to our GAAP results, we provide certain non-GAAP metrics including Adjusted EBITDA, related margins, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Earnings Per Share ("Adjusted EPS"). 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.

    These non-GAAP financial measures reflect the exclusion of the following items:

    • Share-based compensation expense - expense recognized related to awards to various employees pursuant to our share-based compensation plans. This expense is reflected amongst cost of sales, research and development expense, and selling, general, and administrative expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Refer to Note 11, Equity, in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for details.
    • Investigation, restatement, and related (benefit) expense - expenses incurred toward the legal defense of certain former officers and directors, net of negotiated reductions and settlements of amounts previously advanced. This expense is reflected in the line of the same name in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
    • Expenses related to the Disbanding of Regenerative Medicine - incremental expenses recognized or incurred directly as a result of our announcement to disband our Regenerative Medicine segment. This reflects (i) write-downs of clinical trial assets, (ii) charges associated with the wind-down of contracts associated with our clinical trial program, (iii) severance expenses incurred which were directly attributable to the disbanding, and (iv) impairment of goodwill. Severance expenses are reflected in research and development expense on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. All other charges are reflected in restructuring expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
    • Reorganization expense - expenses incurred toward the realignment of our operating strategy. These expenses primarily relate to severance expenses related to certain officers. These expenses are reflected as a component of selling, general, and administrative expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
    • Effects of antidilution - reflects the impact of reflecting certain transactions which are dilutive for purposes of calculating EPS on a GAAP basis, but are antidilutive for purposes of calculating Adjusted EPS. For Q4 and FY 2023, this reflects the adjustment for dividends on the Company's Series B Preferred Stock to the numerator and incremental shares which would have been issued if the Series B Preferred Stock were converted at the beginning of the relevant period, weighted for the portion of the period that the shares were not converted, to the denominator. The reflection of this reduced the denominator by 25.3 million and 27.5 million shares, respectively.
    • Income Tax Adjustment - for purposes of calculating Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Earnings Per Share, reflects our expectation of a long-term effective tax rate, which is normalized and balance sheet-agnostic. Actual reporting tax expense will be based on GAAP earnings, and may differ from the expected long-term effective tax rate due to a variety of factors, including the tax treatment of various transactions included in GAAP net income and other reconciling items that are excluded in determining Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EPS. The long-term normalized effective tax rate was 25% for each of the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

    Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin

    Adjusted EBITDA consists of GAAP net income (loss) excluding: (i) depreciation, (ii) amortization of intangibles, (iii) interest expense, net, (iv) income tax provision, (v) investigation, restatement and related expenses, (vi) reorganization expenses related to severance charges for certain officers (vii) expenses related to disbanding of the Regenerative Medicine business unit and (viii) share-based compensation.

    Please refer to the tables at the beginning of this press release for reconciliation to GAAP net income (loss).

    Adjusted Net Income (Loss)

    Adjusted Net Income (Loss) provides a view of our operating performance, exclusive of certain items which are non-recurring or not reflective of our core operations. Management uses Adjusted Net Income to assess Company financial performance.

    Adjusted Net Income is defined as GAAP net income (loss) plus (i) investigation restatement and related expenses, (ii) expenses related to disbanding our Regenerative Medicine business unit, (iii) reorganization expenses related to severance charges for certain officers, and (iv) the long-term adjusted effective income tax rate.

    Adjusted net income (loss)$10,827  $2,265  $23,565  $(11,032)
     

    Adjusted Earnings Per Share

    Adjusted Earnings Per Share is intended to provide a normalized view of earnings per share by removing items that may be irregular, one-time, or non-recurring from net income. This enables us to identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by such items. Adjusted Earnings Per Share consists of GAAP diluted earnings per share including adjustments for: (i) effects of antidilution, (ii) investigation, restatement and related expenses, (iii) reorganization expenses related to severance charges for certain officers and (iv) long-term adjusted effective income tax rate.

    A reconciliation of GAAP diluted earnings per share to Adjusted Earnings Per Share appears in the table below (per diluted share):

     For the Three Months Ended December 31, For the Year Ended December 31,

    Weighted average common shares outstanding - adjusted (in millions) 122.7   114.2   118.5   112.9 
            

    Free Cash Flow

    Free Cash Flow is intended to provide a measure of our ability to generate cash in excess of capital investments. It provides management with a view of cash flows which can be used to finance operational and strategic investments.

    Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures, including purchases of equipment.

    A reconciliation of GAAP net cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities to Free Cash Flow appears in the table below (in thousands):

     For the Three Months Ended December 31, For the Year Ended December 31,
      2023   2022   2023   2022 
    Net cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities 10,257   (5,624)  26,775   (17,893)
