“We’re pleased with our third quarter accomplishments including our limited launch of the X-Twist Fixation System, successful results from our Cingal Phase III clinical trial, significant progress enrolling the Hyalofast pivotal clinical trial, and solid financial performance,” Cheryl R. Blanchard, Ph.D., Anika’s President and CEO, commented. “Our limited launch of the X-Twist platform has been very positive to date, and we remain on track for the full launch in early 2023. We also recently announced the successful results from our third Phase III clinical trial for Cingal which demonstrated superiority over steroid alone and we look forward to meeting with the FDA to determine next steps for U.S. regulatory approval. Despite the global macroeconomic environment, including staffing and supply chain challenges, we are confident that our strong cash position and no debt, robust foundation of clinical data, comprehensive product and technology portfolio, and exciting new product pipeline all position us for accelerated growth as we drive value for Anika shareholders.”

Recent 2022 Business Highlights

  • Continued Leadership in OA Pain Market
    • Maintained #1 U.S. market share position in OA Pain Management with Monovisc® and Orthovisc®. In August 2022, DePuy Mitek extended our license and supply agreement for Orthovisc for another 5-year term through December 2028.
    • International viscosupplement sales continued accelerated growth, including Cingal which is currently sold in over 35 countries.
  • Building a Best-in-Class Portfolio of Joint Preservation and Restoration Solutions
    • Continued accelerated growth of Tactoset®, Anika’s regenerative solution for insufficiency fractures and soft tissue hardware augmentation, with multiple planned 510(k) filings targeting further expansion.
    • First surgeries were performed with strong positive surgeon feedback during the limited market release of the X-Twist Fixation System, a new addition to the Anika sports medicine portfolio that addresses the needs of surgeons performing high volume soft tissue repair procedures, such as rotator cuff; on track for a full market release in early 2023.
    • Advanced development of multiple new products across the largest and fastest growing parts of the joint preservation market, including new innovative shoulder implants and a regenerative rotator cuff repair system.
  • Ramping Up Medical Education Activities
    • Held multiple medical education events, training more than 400 U.S. surgeons in-person to date this year in addition to other training activities at industry meetings.
  • Advancing Cingal Towards U.S. Regulatory Approval
    • Announced that Cingal, Anika’s next generation product for osteoarthritis patients, successfully achieved its primary endpoint in a third Phase III clinical trial, Cingal 19-01, which demonstrated the superiority of Cingal over steroid alone, for OA pain relief at 26 weeks.
    • Together with previous studies, Cingal has now demonstrated superiority over each of its active ingredients and placebo, and consistently demonstrating strong and durable pain relief in OA patients.
    • Company to engage with the FDA in the coming months regarding next steps for U.S. regulatory approval and explore the potential to advance Cingal through commercial partnerships in the U.S. and select Asian markets. These efforts will inform next steps, including if and how to proceed with another clinical trial in the United States.
  • Continuing Clinical Trial Enrollment for Hyalofast Pivotal Phase III Clinical Trial
    • Delivered significant progress towards clinical study enrollment for the Company’s differentiated HA-based single-stage cartilage repair product, Hyalofast, which is now 96% enrolled with 193 patients randomized between Hyalofast implantation and the microfracture surgical technique.
    • Company expects the trial to be fully enrolled in early 2023 and remains on track to file a Pre-Market Approval with the FDA in 2025.

Fiscal 2022 Outlook
The Company continues to expect its overall revenue for fiscal year 2022 to be toward the upper end of its guidance range of low to mid single-digit growth compared with 2021. Revenue ranges by product family are:

  • OA Pain Management up mid to upper single-digit percent (previously low single-digit percent)
  • Joint Preservation and Restoration up low to mid single-digit percent (previously mid single to low double-digit percent)
  • Non-Orthopedic down approximately 20% due largely to legacy product rationalization  

There remains volatility and uncertainty in the global macroeconomic environment and the Company’s outlook for fiscal 2022 is subject to the changing dynamics associated with staffing shortages, supply chain disruption, inflation and other direct and indirect impacts of the COVID pandemic.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, the Company’s reported financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, the Company’s definition of non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. Because non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effect of items that will increase or decrease the Company’s reported results of operations, Anika strongly encourages investors to review the Company’s consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety. The Company presents these non-GAAP financial measures because it uses them as supplemental measures in internally assessing the Company’s operating performance, and, in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, it is set as a key performance metric to determine executive compensation. The Company also recognizes that these non-GAAP measures are commonly used in determining business performance more broadly and believes that they are helpful to investors, securities analysts, and other interested parties as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period.

Adjusted Gross Margin
Adjusted gross margin is defined by the Company as adjusted gross profit divided by total revenue. The Company defines adjusted gross profit as GAAP gross profit excluding amortization of certain acquired assets, the impact of inventory fair-value step up associated with our recent acquisitions and non-cash product rationalization charges.

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is defined by the Company as GAAP net income (loss) excluding depreciation and amortization, interest and other income (expense), income taxes, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition related expenses, non-cash charges related to goodwill impairment and changes in the fair value of contingent consideration associated with the Company’s recent acquisitions as a result of the COVID pandemic, and non-cash product rationalization charges.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EPS
Adjusted net income (loss) is defined by the Company as GAAP net income excluding acquisition related expenses, inclusive of the impact of purchase accounting, on a tax effected basis, and the non-cash product rationalization charges. In the context of adjusted net income (loss), the impact of purchase accounting includes amortization of inventory step up and intangible assets recorded as part of purchase accounting for acquisition transactions. The amortized assets contribute to revenue generation, and the amortization of such assets will recur in future periods until such assets are fully amortized. These assets include the estimated fair value of certain identified assets acquired in acquisitions in 2020 and beyond, including in-process research and development, developed technology, customer relationships and acquired tradenames. As a result of COVID, the Company is also specifically excluding the impacts of goodwill impairment charges and changes in the fair value of contingent consideration associated with the acquisition transactions, each on a tax effected basis. Adjusted diluted EPS is defined by the Company as GAAP diluted EPS excluding acquisition related expenses and the impact of purchase accounting, each on a tax-adjusted per share basis, and non-cash product rationalization charges. Again, the Company is also specifically excluding the impacts of goodwill impairment charges and changes in the fair value of contingent consideration associated with recent acquisition transactions, each on a tax effected basis if applicable.

A reconciliation of adjusted gross profit to gross profit (and the associated adjusted gross margin calculation), adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) to net income (loss) and adjusted diluted EPS to diluted EPS, the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, is shown in the tables at the end of this release.
