    MARIETTA, Ga., April 28, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MiMedx Group, Inc.

    MiMedx reported net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2021, of $60.0 million, a $1.8 million decrease compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020, in which the Company reported revenue of $61.7 million. Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2021, includes revenue recognized on the remaining contracts of $0.3 million, compared to $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

    Adjusted net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2021, which excludes cash collected on the remaining contracts outstanding at the time of the change in the Company's revenue recognition methodology, were $59.7 million compared to $57.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in the first quarter includes the impact of sales from EpiCord® Expandable, which the Company launched in the third quarter of 2020, along with growth in its flagship EpiFix® sheet portfolio.

    Gross profit margin for the three months ended March 31, 2021, was 83.9% compared to 83.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021, decreased $1.5 million, or 3.3%, to $45.4 million, compared to $46.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease was driven primarily due to year-over-year decreases in travel expenses, as the government and Company imposed restrictions on travel in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company anticipates that travel expenses will increase as the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are mitigated.

    Research and development expenses were $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase was driven by higher consulting fees 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 does expect these costs to increase over time as the Company plans to file INDs and continue working towards the filing of its Biologic License Applications (BLAs). The amount and timing of these expenses are partially dependent on whether interim results from the ongoing IND clinical trials merit further investment.

    Investigation, restatement and related expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021, were $7.2 million compared to $15.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in expenses incurred related to the restatement of prior period financial information. The Company does not anticipate incurring any more costs related to the restatement of prior period financial information. Other decreases were driven by fewer expenses incurred relative to obligations to advance litigation defense costs to certain former members of management.

    MiMedx expects to continue to incur some litigation costs moving forward, but expects a 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 13, “Commitments and Contingencies,” in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements on Form 10-Q.

    Net loss for three months ended March 31, 2021, was $8.4 million compared to a net loss of $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

    Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2021, was $4.7 million, or 7.9% of adjusted net sales, compared to $3.1 million, or 5.4% of adjusted net sales, for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

    As of March 31, 2021, the Company had $84.7 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. Combined sales of micronized and particulate products represented approximately 14% and 13% of the Company’s net sales, for the three months ended March 31, 2021, and the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively.

    Mr. Wright, commented, “We have been watching and expecting this FDA development for some time and, in tandem, have been advancing our innovative late-stage pipeline. We remain committed to doing our part to evolve the science and technology that advances human health, and we unequivocally support the advancement of safe and effective treatment options for patients.”

    Outlook for 2021
    As a result of the end of the period of Enforcement Discretion on May 31, 2021, the Company now expects adjusted net sales for 2021 will be consistent with the prior year. This 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.

    Important Cautionary Statement
    This press release includes forward-looking statements. Statements regarding: (i) planned responses to the end of enforcement discretion; (ii) planned engagement with the FDA regarding potential extension to enforcement discretion; (iii) future sales or sales growth; (iv) the status, timing, and expected results of the Company’s clinical trials and planned regulatory submissions, and our expectations regarding our ability to potentially accelerate the timing of any trial or regulatory submission; (v) the Company’s plans to review and analyze the results of its plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and knee osteoarthritis clinical trials, and to announce top-line data from the plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and knee osteoarthritis clinical trials in Q3 2021; (vi) plans for meetings with the FDA, and planned submissions to the FDA, and their timing; and (vii) the effectiveness of amniotic tissue as a therapy for any particular indication or condition; and (viii) estimates of potential addressable markets for our potential future products. Additional forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as "believe," "expect," "may," "plan," “goal,” “outlook,” "potential," "will," "preliminary," and similar expressions, and are based on management's current beliefs and expectations.

    Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, and the Company cautions investors against placing undue reliance on such statements. Actual results may differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from expectations include: (i) notwithstanding the FDA’s statement today, there remain a number of uncertainties regarding the application of the FDA’s regulations to the Company’s products and practices, and the Company may adjust its plans to comply with FDA’s requirements; (ii) there can be no assurance that the FDA will further extend enforcement discretion to cover products that have a regulatory approval pending, nor can there be any assurance that the Company will even be able to engage with the FDA on the subject; (iii) the Company’s estimate of the impact of enforcement discretion assumes that the Company is able to sell its products through May 31, 2021, and that the Company may continue to sell its cord products thereafter; (iv) the status, timing, and expected results of the Company’s clinical trials and planned regulatory submissions, and our expectations regarding our ability to potentially accelerate the timing of any trial or regulatory submission depend on a number of factors including favorable trial results, patient access, and our ability to manufacture in accordance with CGMP and appropriate chemistry and manufacturing controls; (v) the Company may change its plans due to unforeseen circumstances, and delay or alter the timeline for future trials, analyses, or public announcements; (vi) generally any meeting with the FDA depends on successful clinical trial results and the availability of such a meeting and its timing is outside of the Company’s control; (vii) the results of a clinical trial or trials may have little or no statistical value, or may fail to demonstrate that the product is safe or effective; and (viii) our estimates of potential addressable markets for our potential future products are merely estimates and will depend on market acceptance of our potential, future products. The Company describes additional risks and uncertainties in the Risk Factors section of its most recent annual report and quarterly reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release and the Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement.

    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 (benefit). 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 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 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 (benefit), (v) costs incurred in connection with the Audit Committee investigation and restatement, (vi) the effect of the Company’s change in revenue recognition pattern, and (vii) share-based compensation. A reconciliation of (i) Adjusted Net sales to GAAP Net Sales, (ii) GAAP Net Loss to EBITDA, and (iii) Adjusted EBITDA appears in the table below (in thousands).
