Greg Jensen, VP, Finance and Interim CFO of Xtant Medical, said, “The first quarter of 2019 was a period of significant progress for Xtant, as we continue to position the company for renewed growth. Our solid execution resulted in a significant reduction in the company’s net loss and generated a positive year-over-year cash flow from operations, enabling us to invest further in our operations. These investments include key personnel hires to expand our sales capabilities and continue to improve the efficiency of our operations. Further boosted by OrbiMed’s recent commitment for an additional $10 million in debt capital, we have strengthened our capital structure, enhanced our financial flexibility and continued to build a strong foundation on which to pursue our growth and value-creating objectives.”
First Quarter 2019 Financial Results
Gross margin for the first quarter of 2019 was 64.6%, compared to 68.2% for the same period in 2018. The year-over-year decrease was attributed primarily to inventory reserves and manufacturing overhead absorption.
Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2019 were $11.5 million, compared to $13.9 million for the first quarter of 2018. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower sales commissions and travel expenses, as well as a decrease in amortization expense related to the impairment of intangible assets that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2018.
First quarter 2019 net loss was $2.8 million, or $0.21 per share, compared to first quarter 2018 net loss of $5.3 million, or $0.70 per share.
Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2019 was $1.0 million compared to $1.2 million for the same period of 2018. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income/loss from operations before depreciation, amortization and interest expense, and as further adjusted to add back in or exclude, as applicable, non-cash special charges, provision for losses on inventory and accounts receivable, non-cash compensation, change in warrant derivative liability, separation related expenses, litigation reserve, facility consolidation costs and restructuring expenses. A calculation and reconciliation of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to net loss can be found in the attached financial tables.
