Recent Highlights

  • Continued to advance the clinical procedural experience through PTP(Prone TransPsoas) and launch of LTP (Lateral TransPsoas), the strongest contributors to Q2 revenue growth;
  • Launched ALIF access system to further LTP with midline ALIF approach for L3 to S1;
  • Acquired navigation-enabled robotics platform, which will integrate into ATEC’s procedural workflow, improving precision, clinical predictability and efficiency, while minimizing radiation;
  • Drove 32% increase in surgical volume and 7% increase in average revenue per procedure;
  • Expanded adjusted EBITDA margin by 1,110 basis points.

“ATEC’s 100% spine focus gives us a unique ability to create comprehensive, ground-up procedures that directly improve spine care,” said Pat Miles, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Our long-held thesis - that good surgery is good business - is proving out. We are delivering unmatched clinical distinction, which is compelling strong surgeon adoption, attracting some of spine’s most talented sales professionals, and fueling industry-leading procedural volume growth. But we're still just getting started. We are focused on developing the most actionable informatics ecosystem in spine, which will use EOS and navigation-enabled robotics to address spine surgery’s biggest challenges. With the knowhow we have assembled at ATEC, I love our chances."

Financial Outlook for the Full Year 2023

The Company now expects total revenue to grow 32% to $462 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. This includes surgical revenue growth of approximately 33% and $58 million of EOS revenue. The Company also now expects non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of approximately $2 million for the full year 2023.

Inducement Awards Granted

As an inducement material to accepting employment with the Company, and in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4), ATEC today announced that the independent Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has approved aggregate grants to seventeen new employees (who are not executive officers) of, collectively, 12,772 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the Company’s 2016 Employment Inducement Award Plan. The RSUs will vest in equal annual installments on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date, provided that the recipient remains continuously employed by ATEC as of such vesting date. In addition, the RSUs will vest fully upon a change of control of ATEC.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement the Company’s financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP), the Company reports certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating loss, and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA. 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, particularly related to non-recurring, unusual items. 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 below are reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures.
