Axogen, Inc Reports 2023 Second Quarter Financial Results
ALACHUA and TAMPA, FL – August 7, 2023 – Axogen, Inc. (NASDAQ: AXGN), a global leader in developing and marketing innovative surgical solutions for peripheral nerve injuries, today reported financial results and business highlights for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.
Second Quarter Financial Results and Business Highlights
•Revenue was $38.2 million during the second quarter, an increase of approximately 11% over the second quarter of 2022.
•The Company estimates that revenues from scheduled non-trauma procedures represented approximately half of total revenues during the second quarter and grew over 20% from the second quarter of 2022.
•The Company estimates that revenues from emergent trauma procedures represented approximately half of total revenues during the second quarter and grew in the low single digit range versus the second quarter of 2022.
•Gross margin was 81.1% for the quarter, compared to 81.8% in the second quarter of 2022.
•Net loss of $6.7 million, or $0.16 per share, compared to net loss of $7.7 million, or $0.18 per share in the second quarter of 2022.
•Adjusted net loss of $1.3 million, or $0.03 per share, compared to adjusted net loss of $2.6 million, or $0.05 per share, in the second quarter of 2022.
•Adjusted EBITDA loss of $0.2 million, compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2022.
•The balance of all cash and cash equivalents and investments on June 30, 2023, was $40.8 million, as compared to $44.1 million on March 31, 2023. The net change includes capital expenditures of $3.6 million related to the construction of the Company's new processing facility in Dayton, OH, partially offset by $0.3 million of net positive other operating cash flow in the quarter.
•The Company successfully initiated the pilot launch of the Axoguard HA+ Nerve Protector™ in the second quarter and will fully launch this extension of its nerve protection platform later this month.
•On August 2nd the Phase 3 RECON study was published online in The Journal of Hand Surgery. The Company had previously announced in May of 2022 that RECON had met its primary endpoint. The publication includes the authors analysis of the results, which found that Avance
returned a greater degree of functional recovery than conduits and superiority was demonstrated as gap lengths increased.
"We are encouraged by the continued momentum of our overall business, which was led by over 20% growth of scheduled procedures," stated Karen Zaderej, AxoGen's Chairman, CEO, and President. "The strength of our scheduled procedures category is delivering on the Company’s underlying goal of gaining deeper surgeon adoption and expanded use cases of our products across our core and active accounts."
"Emergent trauma procedures continue to experience headwinds as hospitals prioritize resources and address operating challenges particularly with routine trauma procedures. We believe that these challenges are transient and that recent clinical publications, demonstrating the clinical effectiveness, cost, and surgical time efficiencies of allograft nerve repairs, will support continued surgeon adoption and expansion of the trauma category,” continued Zaderej.
•Core Accounts totaled 347, an increase of 16% over an adjusted* prior-year level of 299, and a decrease of 1% sequentially. Revenue from Core Accounts continued to represent approximately 60% of total revenue.
•Active Accounts totaled 974, an increase of 4% over an adjusted* prior-year level of 941, and a decrease of 1% sequentially. Revenue from the top 10% of Active Accounts represents approximately 35% of total revenue.
•Ended the quarter with over 200 peer-reviewed clinical publications featuring Axogen’s nerve repair product portfolio.
•We ended the quarter with 115 direct sales representatives compared to 116 on March 31, 2023 and a year ago.
Update on Axogen Processing Center (APC) and BLA Submission
The Company completed construction of the APC and in the second quarter placed into service the warehouse and office spaces, and now expects to begin processing tissue in the new facility later this month. The Company will include tissue processing information from the APC in its submission of the BLA for Avance Nerve Graft. Additionally, the Company will be requesting to utilize a rolling submission process with the FDA at a pre-BLA meeting that is expected to occur early first quarter of 2024. If the FDA agrees, the Company expects to begin the submission in the first quarter of 2024 and complete the submission in the second quarter of 2024. The company believes this process will support BLA approval in the first half 2025.
Axoguard HA+ Nerve Protector Launch
The Company successfully initiated the pilot launch of the Axoguard HA+ Nerve Protector™ in the second quarter and will fully launch this extension of its nerve protection platform later this month. Axoguard HA+ Nerve Protector is a proprietary nerve protection device designed to provide short- and long-term protection for peripheral nerve injuries. The device is comprised of a processed porcine submucosa extracellular matrix (ECM) base layer with a hyaluronate-alginate gel coating. The gel layer facilitates enhanced nerve gliding to aid in minimizing soft tissue attachments, while the base layer is remodeled into a long-term protective tissue layer. It is available in a variety of sizes to meet patients' and surgeons' needs.
2023 Financial Guidance
Management is maintaining full-year 2023 revenue guidance in the range of $154 million to $159 million, which represents annual growth of 11% - 15%. The Company anticipates that gross margin will be reduced with the transition to the new processing facility in the third and fourth quarters and that gross margins for the full year 2023 will be approximately 80%.
*The Company voluntarily suspended market availability of Avive® Soft Tissue Membrane on June 1, 2021; and therefore, no Avive revenue was recorded in 2022. Core and Active Account metrics for prior periods were adjusted for Avive revenue. For a reconciliation of adjusted Core and Active Account numbers, please see our Corporate Presentation on the investors page on www.axogeninc.com.

About RECON
RECON is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, subject and evaluator blinded comparative clinical study of nerve cuffs (manufactured conduits) and Avance® Nerve Graft, evaluating recovery outcomes for the repair of nerve discontinuities. The phase 3 pivotal study is designed to provide clinical evidence for the Company’s BLA filing to transition the Company’s Avance Nerve Graft from a section 361 tissue product to a section 351 biologic product; and, as such was designed to test for non-inferiority between static two-point discrimination outcomes for Avance Nerve Graft and manufactured conduit. The study design also allows for a sequential test for superiority of Avance Nerve Graft, following the non-inferiority analysis.
About Avance Nerve Graft
Avance Nerve Graft is a biologically active off-the-shelf processed human nerve allograft for bridging severed peripheral nerves without the comorbidities associated with a second surgical site. Avance provides structural guidance for regenerating axons, and revascularizes and remodels into the patient’s own tissue. It is available in a variety of lengths and diameters.
A 2010 written agreement between the FDA and Axogen allows the company to continue marketing Avance as a section 361 Human Cells, Tissues and Cellular and Tissue Based Product (HCT/P) while taking the necessary steps to file a Biologics License Application (BLA) under section 351.
In 2018 the FDA granted a Regenerative Medicine Advance Therapy (RMAT) designation for Avance Nerve Graft. A regenerative medicine therapy is eligible for the designation if it is intended to treat, modify, reverse, or cure a serious or life-threatening disease or condition, and preliminary clinical evidence indicates that the product has the potential to address unmet medical needs for such a disease or condition. The RMAT designation provides access to a streamlined approval process for
regenerative medicine technologies and ensures continued informal meetings with the FDA in support of the BLA for Avance Nerve Graft.
About Axogen
Axogen (AXGN) is the leading Company focused specifically on the science, development, and commercialization of technologies for peripheral nerve regeneration and repair. Axogen employees are passionate about helping to restore peripheral nerve function and quality of life to patients with physical damage or transection to peripheral nerves by providing innovative, clinically proven, and economically effective repair solutions for surgeons and health care providers. Peripheral nerves provide the pathways for both motor and sensory signals throughout the body. Every day, people suffer traumatic injuries or undergo surgical procedures that impact the function of their peripheral nerves. Physical damage to a peripheral nerve, or the inability to properly reconnect peripheral nerves, can result in the loss of muscle or organ function, the loss of sensory feeling, or the initiation of pain.
Axogen's platform for peripheral nerve repair features a comprehensive portfolio of products that are used across two primary application categories: scheduled, non-trauma procedures and emergent trauma procedures. Scheduled procedures are generally characterized as those where a patient is seeking relief from conditions caused by a nerve defect or surgical procedure. These procedures include providing sensation for women seeking breast reconstruction following a mastectomy, nerve reconstruction following the surgical removal of painful neuromas, oral and maxillofacial procedures, and nerve decompression. Emergent procedures are generally characterized as procedures resulting from injuries that initially present in an ER. These procedures are typically referred to and completed by a specialist either immediately or within a few days following the initial injury.
Axogen’s product portfolio includes Avance® Nerve Graft, a biologically active off-the-shelf processed human nerve allograft for bridging severed peripheral nerves without the comorbidities associated with a second surgical site; Axoguard Nerve Connector®, a porcine submucosa ECM coaptation aid for tensionless repair of severed peripheral nerves; Axoguard Nerve Protector®, a porcine submucosa ECM product used to wrap and protect damaged peripheral nerves and reinforce the nerve reconstruction while preventing soft tissue attachments; Axoguard HA+ Nerve Protector™, a porcine submucosa ECM base layer coated with a proprietary hyaluronate-alginate gel, a next-generation technology designed to provide short- and long-term protection for peripheral nerve injuries; and Axoguard Nerve Cap®, a porcine submucosa ECM product used to protect a peripheral nerve end and separate the nerve from the surrounding environment to reduce the development of symptomatic or painful neuroma. The Axogen portfolio of products is available in the United States, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain, South Korea, and several other countries.

The forward-looking statements are representative only as of the date they are made and, except as required by applicable law, we assume no responsibility to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements.
About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our consolidated financial statements, we use the non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA, which measures earnings before interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization, and Adjusted EBITDA which further excludes non-cash stock compensation expense and litigation and related expenses. We also use the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss Per Common Share - basic and diluted which excludes non-cash stock compensation expense and litigation and related expenses from Net Loss and Net Loss Per Common Share - basic and diluted, respectively. These non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures should be read in conjunction with our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. The reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP should be carefully evaluated.
We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because (1) they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and (2) they are used by our institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze the performance of our business, the Company’s cash available for operations, and the Company’s ability to meet future capital expenditure and working capital requirements.

As we have introduced new applications, we now think about our business along two primary categories revolutionizing the science of nerve repair™ 8 Emergent Trauma Procedure Examples Transected Sensory nerves Transected Mixed/Motor nerves Non-transected nerve injury Scheduled Procedure Examples Breast Reconstruction Mandibular Reconstruction Neuroma repair Cubital and Carpal Tunnel Revisions
Scheduled procedures involve a patient seeking relief of a condition caused by a nerve defect or surgical procedure revolutionizing the science of nerve repair™ 9 ▪ Patients seeking a scheduled procedure weeks or months in advance allows patients to advocate for solutions that may improve quality of life outcomes ▪ Procedures lend themselves to standardized surgical techniques and more consistent repair algorithms, and extended follow-up evaluations ▪ Completed in specialist centers on regular intervals, typically in existing core accounts ▪ Concentrated group of surgeon specialists allow for more focused surgeon training and adoption ▪ Typically involve a higher value of Axogen products per procedure Scheduled Procedures: Scheduled Procedure Examples Breast Reconstruction Mandibular Reconstruction Neuroma repair Neurotization of the breast and/or nipple areolar complex may be possible in many delayed or immediate breast reconstruction settings. Reconstruction of the inferior alveolar nerve with ablation of the mandible Symptomatic neuroma resection with nerve reconstruction Cubital and Carpal Tunnel Revisions
Emergent trauma cases generally result from injuries that initially present in an ER revolutionizing the science of nerve repair™ 10 ▪ Significant number of nerve injuries typically referred to and completed by a specialist either immediately or within a few days following the injury with limited post op follow-up evaluations ▪ Emergent and diverse nature of injuries result in variable patient pathways from ER to nerve repair specialist and diverse repair algorithms ▪ Specialist surgeons typically perform nerve repair as a minor portion of their overall practice ▪ Opportunity to drive care pathways with surgeon education supported by clinical and economic data ▪ Opportunity to shift site of care for routine traumatic injuries to more cost-efficient settings (ASC) Emergent Procedures: Emergent Trauma Examples Transected Sensory nerves Transected Mixed/Motor nerves Non-transected Nerve Injury Digital nerve injury after sharp lacerations e.g., a knife slipping when cutting an avocado, glass injuries More complex trauma injuries e.g., circular saw injury to hand and wrist resulting in ulnar and median nerve damage Trauma induced compression and stretch injuries e.g., peroneal nerve compression at the fibular head after knee dislocation, shoulder trauma causing stretching of the brachial plexus
