Insights

This divestiture marks a significant shift in Anika Therapeutics' business strategy. The sale of Arthrosurface, which was originally acquired by Anika in 2020 for $60 million, represents a strategic pivot. While financial terms weren't disclosed, this transaction will likely impact Anika's revenue stream and market position in the joint preservation segment.

The move suggests Anika is streamlining its portfolio, potentially to focus on core assets and improve operational efficiency. For investors, this raises questions about Anika's growth strategy and future revenue projections. The company's joint preservation segment has been a significant revenue contributor and this divestiture could lead to short-term revenue headwinds.

The return of Arthrosurface to its original leadership team, backed by Primo Medical Group, could reinvigorate the brand's market presence. With a portfolio of over 150 surface implant curvatures and established clinical history, Arthrosurface maintains strong positioning in the joint preservation market. The continuation of product availability and service levels should maintain market stability.

The joint preservation market continues to grow, driven by increasing demand for minimally invasive procedures and an aging, active population. This transaction reflects ongoing consolidation trends in the medical device sector, where specialized players often perform better independently than within larger corporate structures.

WEST BRIDGEWATER, Mass., Oct. 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Executive management from Primo Medical Group along with others, combined to acquire Arthrosurface, Inc., a leading provider of joint restoration and preservation solutions for active patients, from Anika Therapeutics (NASDAQ: ANIK). Two former Arthrosurface leaders joined the Primo Medical Group executives in this strategic acquisition which ensures that Arthrosurface's position as a leader in orthopedic joint preservation solutions will resume with its portfolio of innovative products and expertise.

Arthrosurface: A Pioneer in Joint Restoration and Preservation

Shane Shankle, who was appointed Arthrosurface's new President said, "As a leader in joint preservation, I'm excited to drive our company's growth plan by delivering products that help patients maintain an active quality of life."   Frank Fedorowicz, Chief Operating and Financial Officer, added, "I'm very happy to be reunited with many of our founding executives to propel Arthrosurface into its next exciting phase."

With a commitment to minimally invasive techniques, Arthrosurface products are designed to restore natural joint function while preserving surrounding bone and tissue. Arthrosurface's product portfolio includes more than 150 different surface implant curvatures for the knee, shoulder, wrist and toe that are designed to treat upper and lower extremity orthopedic conditions caused by trauma, injury and arthritic disease. Andrea Patisteas, Senior Executive Vice President emphasized that "With over two decades of clinical experience with our implants, we're thrilled to continue working with physicians and patients to provide them with options for the treatment of orthopedic conditions."  Steven Tallarida, President and CEO of Primo Medical Group simply commented "It is great to be back!"

Phoenix Brio will be Arthrosurface's parent company, and both will be based in West Bridgewater, Massachusetts. "The acquisition of Arthrosurface aligns with our mission to create and deliver innovative medical solutions that address today's clinical needs. Arthrosurface is a natural fit for us," said Chris LaPlante, CFO at Primo Medical Group.

Customers and distributors of Arthrosurface products should not expect to see any change in service or disruption in product access or availability.
