“Our fourth quarter results reflected record revenue and meaningful growth in both our spinal implants and orthobiologics portfolios, despite the greater impact of the pandemic on surgery volumes compared to the third quarter. Our results were particularly encouraging when compared to the fourth quarter of 2019, which included 21% growth in our U.S. spinal implants portfolio,” said Keith Valentine, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Despite all the uncertainty and disruption we faced in 2020, the entire SeaSpine organization remained committed to our mission to deliver cost effective spinal implants and orthobiologics procedural solutions to surgeons and hospitals to improve the quality of patient lives. That focus translated into 19 product launches in 2020, the most ever in a single year for SeaSpine, and nearly 9% year-over-year U.S. revenue growth in the second half of 2020 compared to the second half of 2019.”

Fourth Quarter 2020 Financial Results
Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2020 totaled $46.4 million, an increase of 6.2% compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. U.S. revenue was $42.1 million, a 7.2% increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. The increase in U.S. revenue was driven by both the spinal implants and orthobiologics portfolios. Sales of new and recently launched products represented 68% and 35% of U.S. spinal implants and U.S. orthobiologics revenue, respectively. International revenue was $4.3 million, a 3.2% decrease compared to the fourth quarter of 2019.

Spinal implants revenue totaled $23.1 million, a 7.0% increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. The increase in spinal implant revenue was driven by growth in recently launched products, led primarily by the Mariner MIS and Revision systems, the NorthStar OCT™ System, and the Company’s expanded line of NanoMetalene® interbody devices featuring Reef Topography.

Orthobiologics revenue totaled $23.3 million, a 5.4% increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. The increase in orthobiologics revenue was driven primarily by growth in recently launched products, led by the OsteoStrand Plus product.

Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2020 was 62.8%, compared to 64.2% for the fourth quarter of 2019. The decrease in gross margin was due to higher spinal implant excess and obsolete inventory provisions in the current year.

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2020 totaled $39.5 million, a $2.6 million increase compared to $36.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2019. The increase in operating expenses was driven primarily by $1.8 million in higher selling and marketing expenses, the majority of which relates to selling commissions and spinal implant set depreciation and instrument deployment costs, $0.3 million in higher research and development expenses, and $0.5 million in higher general and administrative expenses.

Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $10.3 million, compared to a net loss of $8.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2019.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at December 31, 2020 totaled $76.8 million, and the Company had no amounts outstanding under its credit facility.

2020 Financial Results
Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020 totaled $154.3 million, a decrease of 3.0% compared to the prior year. U.S. revenue was $138.9 million, a 2.1% decrease compared to 2019. Spinal implants revenue totaled $75.9 million, a 2.3% decrease compared to 2019. Orthobiologics revenue totaled $78.4 million, a 3.6% decrease compared to 2019.

Gross margin for 2020 was 63.2%, compared to 63.6% for 2019. The decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by idle plant costs associated with a nearly two-month shutdown of orthobiologics manufacturing operations at the Company’s Irvine facility during the second quarter due to the pandemic.

Operating expenses for 2020 totaled $140.9 million, a $0.6 million increase compared to $140.3 million for 2019. The increase was driven primarily by $2.3 million in higher general and administrative expenses, $1.1 million in higher research and development expenses, and $0.9 million in higher selling and marketing expenses, which were offset by $3.7 million lower intangible asset impairment charges.

Net loss for 2020 was $43.2 million, compared to a net loss of $39.3 million for 2019.
