LEWISVILLE, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Orthofix Medical Inc. (NASDAQ:OFIX) today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019. Net sales were $115.9 million, loss per share (“EPS”) was ($0.03) and adjusted EPS was $0.28.
“First and foremost, I am very pleased to announce that Jon Serbousek, a highly regarded and seasoned orthopedic and spine executive, has joined the Orthofix executive team. For more details, please see the press release we will issue today on the announcement,” said Brad Mason, Orthofix President and Chief Executive Officer. “Regarding the second quarter results, net sales were in line with our expectations, led by another quarter of outstanding performance in our Biologics products and notably, as reported by SmartTRAK®, Orthofix now has the number one market share position in the U.S. cellular allograft segment.”
Mason continued, “I am also happy to report that the launch of the M6-C™cervical disc in the U.S. is going very well and ahead of plan. With fewer than two dozen surgeons implanting discs to date, we’ve generated $500,000 in sales since June 1st and expect to end the year with more than 150 surgeons trained. This gives us great confidence that we will meet or exceed our sales expectations for 2019 and exit the year on a strong growth trajectory.”
