Executive Commentary – Mark Augusti, President and CEO

"Our second quarter results show signs that we are on the right long-term path. We were in-line with our revenue expectations for the quarter and continued to grow our Imprint case volume. The recent signing of our first national agreement for our new Platinum Services Program highlights that our portfolio shift is taking hold. Like many companies, we continue to deal with macro-economic and supply chain challenges that have impacted our business. In light of this, I'm pleased with the recent progress we have made on expense management. These efforts when combined with the continued positive surgeon feedback keep us confident in our long-term strategy."

Second Quarter 2022 Highlights

Revenue

• Product revenue remained flat year-over-year.
• Royalty and licensing revenue decreased year-over-year as a result of $41.0 million of royalty and licensing revenue recognized in the prior year related to non-recurring patent license settlement and development agreements.

Gross Margin

• Product gross profit margin was 35.1% in the second quarter of 2022, compared to 42.0% in the same period last year. The gross margin rate declined year-over-year as a result of higher labor and material costs, operational inefficiencies as we transition to our new business model, higher cancelled case inventory expense, and a reduction in selling price.
• Total gross profit was $5.5 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $47.5 million in the same period last year. The second quarter of 2021 included $41.0 million of non-recurring royalty and license revenue.

Operating Expenses

• Total operating expenses of $18.2 million, an increase of $1.6 million year-over-year.
• Sales and marketing expenses increased $0.3 million primarily due to higher personnel, marketing, and training costs partially offset by lower commissions expense.
• Research and development expenses increased $0.3 million primarily driven by higher revenue share expense and project-related costs for our new hip stem, porous coated knee, and design software enhancements.
• General and administrative expenses increased $1.0 million primarily driven by higher customer delivery related costs and professional fees related to litigation involving our intellectual property.

Net Loss

• Net loss was $15.5 million, or $0.09 per basic and diluted share, in the second quarter of 2022, compared to a net income of $38.0 million, or $0.21 per basic and diluted share, in the same period last year.
• Foreign currency exchange transaction loss was $2.4 million in the second quarter of 2022, compared to foreign currency exchange transaction income of $0.5 million in the same period last year.
• Weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding of 180.3 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding of 177.7 million and 180.0 million respectively, for the same period last year.
  
  

Capital Structure and Liquidity

• Cash and cash equivalents totaled $72.6 million as of June 30, 2022, compared to $100.6 million as of December 31, 2021.
  
  

Outlook

• We expect our third quarter product revenue to be in the range of $13.0 million to $14.0 million.
• We are updating our full year product revenue expectations to a range of $57 million to $61 million.
• For operating expenses, we now expect to be at the low end of our previous guidance range of $75 million to $81 million for the year.
  
  

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.
