Summary of Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results and Recent Accomplishments

    • U.S. orthobiologics revenue of $20.1 million, a 1.3% increase compared to 2020 and an 11% increase compared to the third quarter of 2019

“Increased restrictions on spine surgeries caused by the resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in unanticipated third quarter volatility in our business; however, we remained steadfast in our commitment to invest for growth and to launch innovative and differentiated products,” said Keith Valentine, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are confident that our spinal implants, orthobiologics product portfolios and enabling technology platforms are among the most clinically relevant and differentiated in the market, and that we are exceptionally well positioned to further expand our presence across the U.S. in both the hospital and ambulatory surgery center settings.”

Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Revenue for the third quarter of 2021 totaled $46.4 million, a 7.5% increase compared to the third quarter of 2020. U.S. revenue, which totaled $41.2 million and included $1.5 million of enabling technologies capital sales revenue, increased 5.5% compared to the third quarter of 2020. Sales of new and recently launched products increased to 78% and 43% of U.S. spinal implants and U.S. orthobiologics revenue, respectively. International revenue, which totaled $5.2 million and included $0.6 million of enabling technologies capital sales revenue, increased 26% compared to the third quarter of 2020.

Gross margin for the third quarter of 2021 was 60.6%, compared to 67.4% for the third quarter of 2020. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to $1.0 million of technology-related intangible asset amortization and $0.4 million of inventory purchase accounting fair market value adjustments associated with the 7D Surgical acquisition, plus $1.3 million in higher excess and obsolete inventory charges recorded in the third quarter of 2021 in connection with the full commercial launches and additional set deployments of numerous spinal implant systems in 2021. Adjusted Gross Margin (as described below) for the third quarter of 2021 was 64.3%, compared to 68.0% for the third quarter of 2020.

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2021 totaled $46.4 million, a $10.6 million increase compared to $35.8 million for the third quarter of 2020, and included $3.4 million of operating expenses directly attributable to 7D Surgical and a $1.7 million charge related to the restructuring of the Company’s European sales and marketing organization. The increase in operating expenses was driven primarily by $5.4 million in higher selling and marketing expenses, the substantial majority of which relates to 7D Surgical operating expenses plus increased commissions, headcount, travel and tradeshow spending, $2.7 million in higher general and administrative expenses, which included the $1.7 million restructuring charge described above, $0.4 million of 7D Surgical operating expenses and $0.2 million in legal and other professional fees incurred in connection with the 7D Surgical acquisition and integration, and $2.3 million in higher research and development expenses, which included $1.3 million of 7D Surgical operating expenses and a $0.5 million charge related to the acquisition of certain intellectual property applicable to the spinal implants portfolio.

Net loss for the third quarter of 2021 was $17.6 million, compared to a net loss of $6.6 million for the third quarter of 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA Loss (as described below) for the third quarter of 2021 was a loss of $7.4 million, compared to a loss of $0.1 million for the third quarter of 2020. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA Loss was primarily the result of the adverse impact on revenue from the COVID-19 pandemic and the dilutive impact of 7D Surgical on the current quarter results, and because the Company incurred significantly lower operating expenses in the third quarter of 2020 resulting from decreased travel and tradeshow activity and from the many targeted headcount and spending restrictions the Company implemented due to the ongoing uncertainty with respect to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2021 totaled $102.4 million, and the Company had no amounts outstanding under its credit facility.

Fourth Quarter 2021 Financial Outlook
SeaSpine expects revenue for the fourth quarter of 2021 to be in the range of $54 million to $55 million, reflecting growth of 16% to 18% over fourth quarter 2020 revenue and 23% to 26% over fourth quarter 2019 revenue.
