Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Worldwide revenue was $22.3 million in the third quarter 2021, a 9% increase from $20.4 million in the corresponding period in 2020. U.S. revenue for the third quarter 2021 was $20.4 million, a 8% increase from $18.9 million in the corresponding period in 2020. International revenue for the third quarter 2021 was $1.9 million, a 31% increase from $1.4 million in the corresponding period in 2020. The third quarter 2021 was negatively impacted by COVID deferrals while the third quarter 2020 benefited from COVID rescheduling.

Gross margin was 89% for the third quarter 2021, as compared to 87% in the corresponding period in 2020. Gross margin in the third quarter 2020 was impacted by increased write-downs of iFuse-related inventory as a result of the more rapid than anticipated adoption of iFuse-3D.

Operating expenses increased 25% to $33.0 million in the third quarter 2021, as compared to $26.5 million in the corresponding period in 2020. The increase was driven by higher sales and marketing expenses related to increased sales hiring, research and development expenses and increased stock-based compensation expense. The third quarter 2020 operating expenses were impacted by preemptive steps taken in response to COVID-19 to reduce discretionary spending.

Operating loss was $13.2 million in the third quarter 2021, as compared to an operating loss of $8.7 million in the corresponding period in 2020.

Net loss was $15.9 million, or $0.48 per diluted share for the third quarter 2021, as compared to a net loss of $9.5 million, or $0.33 per diluted share in the corresponding period in 2020. Net loss was impacted by $1.8 million in debt extinguishment costs as part of the refinancing.

Cash and marketable securities were $160.9 million and long-term borrowings were $34.9 million as of September 30, 2021.

2021 Financial Guidance Updated

While the operating environment continues to improve, SI-BONE remains cognizant of the near-term uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 and the potential impact on elective procedures as well as to healthcare infrastructure. The Company is updating the full year 2021 total revenue guidance to be approximately $89 million to $90 million, representing growth of 21% to 23% compared to full year 2020.
