Said Chas McKhann, president and CEO, "The third quarter delivered record revenue and our seventh consecutive quarter of double-digit revenue growth. Our strong growth demonstrated continued acceleration in endobariatrics, where medical professionals are achieving clinically meaningful weight loss for patients with greatly reduced recovery time and side effect risk compared to traditional surgeries. We also expanded adoption in our G.I. defect closure business, particularly with our innovative X-Tack® line, which has nearly doubled in revenue over last year and surpassed Orbera in third quarter revenue in the U.S."
"We also secured FDA marketing authorizations for our Apollo ESGTM and Apollo REVISETM endoscopic systems and announced publication of the landmark MERIT study in The Lancet," added McKhann. "These two milestones position Apollo to play a significant role in addressing the global obesity epidemic with clinically validated and relevant solutions backed by thousands of cases in the published clinical literature demonstrating excellent weight loss and safety profiles. Based on our strong operating results and important strategic milestones, we feel that Apollo is well positioned to revolutionize patient care in both G.I. health and obesity with advanced endoscopic solutions."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the Company's financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company reports certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses, non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP product sales percentage change in constant currency. Adjusted operating expense is calculated as operating expense less stock-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as GAAP net loss, plus depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net, income tax expense, stock-based compensation, unrealized foreign exchange, and gain on forgiveness of PPP loan. Product sales percentage change in constant currency is calculated by translating current foreign currency sales at last year's exchange rate. These supplemental measures of the Company's performance are not required by, and are not determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with an additional tool for evaluating the Company's core performance, which management uses in its own evaluation of continuing operating performance, and a baseline for assessing the future earnings potential of the Company. The Company's non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in the Company's industry, as other companies in the industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently. Non-GAAP financial results should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Included in the supplemental tables to this press release is a reconciliation of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net loss.
