First Quarter 2024 Results Discussion¹

Net Sales

MIMEDX reported net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2024, of $85 million, compared to $72 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of 18%. Net sales growth came from solid contributions in both the Wound & Surgical end markets and across each of our main sites of service.

_______________

¹ The following discussion of the Company's first quarter 2024 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 March 31, 2024, was $72 million, an increase of $12 million as compared to the prior year period. Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was 84.7%, compared to 82.7% 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.

Operating Expenses

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024, were $55 million compared to $52 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. SG&A expense during the first quarter 2024 included increased sales commissions due to higher sales volumes.

Research and development expenses were $3 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023.

Investigation, restatement and related expense was immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. 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 ended March 31, 2024 was $9 million compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $48 million of cash and cash equivalents compared to $82 million as of December 31, 2023. The decrease during the period ended March 31, 2024 was primarily a result of our repaying the $30 million outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility during the first quarter, as well as the $5 million cash payment associated with our agreement with TELA Bio, Inc., paving the way for our exclusive manufacturing and supply agreement with Regenity Biosciences.

Selected Unaudited Financial Information

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.
• Investigation, restatement, and related expense - expenses incurred toward the legal defense of the Company and advanced on behalf of certain former officers and directors, net of negotiated reductions and settlements of amounts previously advanced, related to certain legal matters. This expense is reflected in the line of the same name in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
• Strategic and other expenses - reflects expenses incurred resulting from the consummation of material transactions or the integration of acquired assets or operations into our core business, impairment of intangibles, and certain regulatory expenses. With respect to the three months ended March 31, 2024, this relates to the acquisition and integration of exclusive distribution rights to a collagen particulate xenograft product and regulatory and litigation expenses incurred relating to the FDA designation of one of our products.
• Loss on extinguishment of debt - reflects the excess of cash paid to extinguish debt over the carrying value of the debt on our balance sheet upon the repayment and termination of a loan agreement. With respect to the three months ended March 31, 2024, this relates to the repayment and termination of the Hayfin Loan Agreement. Amounts in this line reflect (i) prepayment premium paid and (ii) write-offs of unamortized original issue discount and deferred financing costs.
• 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.
• 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 quarters ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

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 and employees (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.

Adjusted Net Income is defined as GAAP net income (loss) plus (i) loss on extinguishment of debt, (ii) investigation restatement and related expenses, (iii) expenses related to disbanding of our Regenerative Medicine business unit, (iv) strategic and other expenses, and (v) the long-term effective income tax rate adjustment.

A reconciliation of GAAP Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted Net Income appears in the table below (in thousands):

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 employees 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):

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.
