First Quarter 2023 Highlights
Revenue
- Decrease in product revenue year-over-year was primarily due to declines in U.S. knee orders following our business model transition and manufacturing/supply chain challenges.
- Royalty and licensing revenue decreased year-over-year as a result of $0.5 million in revenue recognized under the License Agreement with Paragon 28 in the prior period.
Gross Margin
- Product gross profit margin was 39% in the first quarter of 2023, compared to 34% in the same period last year. The product gross margin rate increased year-over-year primarily as a result of higher selling prices on our fully personalized knees due to our Platinum Services℠ Program, volume transition to our lower cost Imprint™ knee system, and decreased cancelled case inventory expense partially offset by increased labor and material costs and lower manufacturing volumes.
- Total gross profit decreased $0.6 million to $5.1 million, or 40% of revenue, for the first quarter of 2023, compared to $5.7 million, or 37% of revenue, in the same period last year.
Operating Expenses
- Total operating expenses of $14.5 million decreased $5.9 million, a 29% reduction year-over-year, driven by cost management efforts, lower litigation expense, and lower variable expenses as a result of the decline in revenue.
- Sales and marketing expenses decreased $1.6 million primarily due to lower tradeshow, commission, and personnel expenses.
- Research and development expenses decreased $2.0 million primarily driven by lower personnel, revenue share, and project related expenses.
- General and administrative expenses decreased $2.3 million primarily driven by lower litigation, professional services, personnel, and freight expenses.
Net Loss
- Net loss was $9.6 million, or $1.32 per basic and diluted share, in the first quarter of 2023, compared to a net loss of $16.0 million, or $2.24 per basic and diluted share, in the same period last year.
- Foreign currency exchange transaction income was $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2023, compared to foreign currency exchange transaction loss of $0.8 million in the same period last year.
- Weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding of 7.3 million for the first quarter of 2023, compared to weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding of 7.2 million for the same period last year. All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to give effect to the 1-for-25 reverse stock split that occurred in November 2022.
Capital Structure and Liquidity
- Cash and cash equivalents totaled $37.8 million as of March 31, 2023, compared to $48.7 million as of December 31, 2022.
Outlook
- We expect our second quarter product revenue to be in the range of $11.0 million to $13.0 million.
Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company provides certain information regarding the Company’s financial results or projected financial results on a non-GAAP “constant currency basis.” This information estimates the impact of changes in foreign currency rates on the translation of the Company’s current or projected future period financial results as compared to the applicable comparable period. This impact is derived by taking the adjusted current or projected local currency results and translating them into U.S. dollars based upon the foreign currency exchange rates for the applicable comparable period. It does not include any other effect of changes in foreign currency rates on the Company’s results or business. Non-GAAP information is not a substitute for, and is not superior to, information presented on a GAAP basis. Company management uses these non-GAAP measures internally to measure operational performance.
