• On March 14, 2019, the Company entered into a new credit agreement with Silicon Valley Bank and MidCap Financial, providing an aggregate principal amount of $100 million consisting of a $60 million term loan and a $40 million revolving credit facility.

• On May 1, 2019, the Company announced that it received an Innovative Technology contract from Vizient, Inc. for its portfolio of Advanced Wound Care and Surgical & Sports Medicine products.

“2019 is off to a strong start,” said Gary S. Gillheeney, Sr., President and Chief Executive Officer of Organogenesis. “We delivered significant year-over-year revenue growth across both our Advanced Wound Care and Surgical & Sports Medicine portfolios driven by strong sales of our PuraPly and amnion products. With successful execution against our commercial strategy, we leveraged PuraPly’s pass through advantage to gain new PuraPly accounts, drive customer and clinician adoption of PuraPly deeper into existing accounts, and drive sales of our other products into accounts that had previously only purchased PuraPly. Strong execution from our sales team also drove penetration of our amnion products into existing and new accounts despite suspension of Affinity production in Q1 2019. Additionally, we grew our customer base across both our Advanced Wound Care and Surgical & Sports Medicine portfolios, and continued to build our commercial infrastructure by adding direct sales representatives and agencies. Based on our solid first quarter financial results and our expectation for continued strong commercial execution, we have increased our 2019 full year financial guidance.”

Mr. Gillheeney, Sr. continued: “We remain committed to delivering on our mission to provide integrated healing solutions that substantially improve medical outcomes and the lives of patients, while lowering the overall cost of care. To that end, we recently announced that we received an ‘Innovative Technology’ contract from Vizient, Inc., the largest health care performance improvement company in the country as part of Vizient’s move to value-based care.”

Net Revenue Summary:

The following table represents revenue by product grouping for the three months ended March 31, 2019:

First Quarter 2019 Results:

Net revenue for the first quarter of 2019 was $57.1 million, compared to $35.5 million for the first quarter of 2018, an increase of $21.6 million, or 60.8%. The increase in net revenue was driven by a $18.6 million increase in net revenue of Advanced Wound Care products and a $3.0 million increase in net revenue of Surgical & Sports Medicine products, representing growth of 63.7% and 47.2%, respectively, compared to the first quarter of 2018. The increase in Advanced Wound Care net revenue was primarily attributable to additional sales personnel, PuraPly regaining pass-through reimbursement status for the two-year period effective October 1, 2018 and the continued growth in adoption of our amnion products. The increase in Surgical & Sports Medicine revenue was primarily due to the expansion of the sales force and penetration of existing and new customer accounts. Net revenue of PuraPly products for the first quarter of 2019 was $25.4 million, compared to $10.6 million for the first quarter of 2018, an increase of $14.8 million, or 139.1%. Net revenue of PuraPly products represented approximately 45% of net revenue in the first quarter of 2019, compared to 30% of net revenue in the first quarter of 2018.

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2019 was $40.1 million or 70.3% of net revenue, compared to $21.0 million, or 59.1% of net revenue, for the first quarter of 2018, an increase of $19.1 million, or 91.1%. The improvement in gross profit and gross profit margin percentage resulted primarily from a more favorable product mix of revenue in the first quarter of 2019, PuraPly regaining pass-through reimbursement status, and volume-based manufacturing efficiencies.

Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2019 were $52.3 million, compared to $41.0 million for the first quarter of 2018, an increase of $11.3 million, or 27.5%. The increase in operating expenses in the first quarter of 2019 as compared to the first quarter of 2018 was driven primarily by higher selling, general and administrative expenses which increased to $48.9 million, compared to $38.2 million in the first quarter of 2018, an increase of $10.7 million, or 28.1%. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily due to additional headcount, predominantly in the direct sales force, higher sales commissions and increased marketing and promotional expenses for the Company’s products. R&D expense was $3.4 million for the first quarter of 2019, compared to $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2018, an increase of $0.5 million, or 19.4%. The increase in R&D was driven by additional headcount and continued and new investment in clinical programs.

Operating loss for the first quarter of 2019 was $12.1 million, compared to an operating loss of $20.0 million for the first quarter of 2018, a decrease of $7.9 million, or 39.3%. Total other expenses, net, for the first quarter of 2019 were $3.5 million, compared to $2.5 million for the first quarter of 2018, an increase of $1.0 million, or 41.5%. The increase was driven primarily by a $1.9 million non-cash loss on the extinguishment of debt and entering into the Company’s new $100 million credit agreement with Silicon Valley Bank and MidCap Financial.

Net loss for the first quarter of 2019 was $15.7 million, or $0.17 per share, compared to a net loss of $22.5 million, or $0.35 per share, for the first quarter of 2018, a decrease of $6.8 million, or 30.3%.

As of March 31, 2019, the Company had $30.6 million in cash and $88.1 million in debt obligations, of which $17.4 million were capital lease obligations, compared to $21.3 million in cash and $59.3 million in debt obligations, of which $17.7 million were capital lease obligations, as of December 31, 2018.

Use of Non‑GAAP Measures
Our management uses financial measures that are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, in addition to financial measures in accordance with GAAP to evaluate our operating results. These non‑GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, our reported financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA principally as a measure of our operating performance and believes Adjusted EBITDA helps identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the items that we exclude. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allowing for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision‑making.

We define EBITDA as net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, net interest expense and income taxes and we define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, further adjusted for the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance. These items consist of non-cash equity compensation, mark to market adjustments on our warrant liabilities, change in fair value of interest rate swaps and our contingent asset and liabilities, write-off of deferred offering costs, Avista merger transaction costs and loss on the extinguishment of debt. We have presented Adjusted EBITDA in this press release because it is a key measure used by our management and Board of Directors to understand and evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. In particular, we believe that the exclusion of certain items in calculating Adjusted EBITDA can produce a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business.
 

Our Adjusted EBITDA is not prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of Adjusted EBITDA rather than net income (loss), which is the most directly comparable GAAP equivalent. Some of these limitations are:

• Adjusted EBITDA excludes stock-based compensation expense, as stock-based compensation expense has recently been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense for our business and an important part of our compensation strategy; 
• Adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization expense and, although these are non-cash expenses, the assets being depreciated may have to be replaced in the future; 
• Adjusted EBITDA excludes net interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest, which reduces cash available to us; 
• Adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of the changes in the fair value of our warrant liability, our contingent consideration forfeiture asset, and the fair value of interest rate swaps; 
• Adjusted EBITDA excludes the write-off of deferred offering costs, as well as merger transaction costs, consisting primarily of legal and professional fees;
• Adjusted EBITDA excludes the loss on extinguishment of debt, which is a non-cash loss related to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs upon repayment of affiliate and third-party debt, and related prepayment penalties;
• Adjusted EBITDA excludes income tax expense (benefit); and
• Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, we consider, and you should consider, Adjusted EBITDA together with other operating and financial performance measures presented in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, has been included herein.
