MiMedx Announces Filing of 2020 First Quarter Form 10-Q

Company Now Caught Up in Financial Reporting

First Quarter Net Sales of $61.7 million

MARIETTA, Ga., July 06, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MiMedx Group, Inc. (OTC PINK: MDXG) (“MiMedx” or “the Company”), an industry leader in advanced wound care and an emerging therapeutic biologics company, today announced the filing of its 2020 first quarter Form 10-Q. The Company has additionally filed each of the 2019 Form 10-Qs, for the first, second, and third quarters of 2019, and is now caught up in its financial reporting.

Peter M. Carlson, MiMedx Chief Financial Officer, said, “This is a significant milestone for MiMedx. We have made tremendous progress as a company with the filing of our 2019 Annual Report, the closing of critical financing from premier healthcare investors, and the addition of two industry leaders to our Board of Directors. Now, with the filing of our first quarter Form 10-Q and the initial steps taken to apply to relist our common stock, we are focused on positioning the organization to anticipate and address unmet patient needs.”

Timothy R. Wright, MiMedx Chief Executive Officer, commented, “The early, innovative work by the Company to develop foundational clinical and scientific evidence enabled amniotic tissue to reach the market in a safe, commercially viable, and logistically feasible way. Today, more than 30 million Americans have diabetes and close to three million of these people suffer from chronic wounds. Many will face serious complications – including repeated, unhealed wounds – that may lead to limb amputation. Our essential purpose is to provide advanced treatment options for these patients and the health professionals that serve them. Our improved financial stability enables us to focus on that work and demonstrate the clinical and economic value of our products. Today is a clear turning point for MiMedx. Our ability to advance wound-healing science that informs the pathology of healing will further differentiate the value of our business and set the foundation for our platform portfolio to address other areas of unmet need.”

Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 were $61.7 million, primarily recognized on an “as-shipped” basis, a 7.2% decrease compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2019 revenue of $66.6 million, recognized on a “cash-receipts” basis. The decrease is due to lower shipment levels in the last half of March 2020, reflecting the impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic further discussed below. Included in net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 are net sales of $4.5 million related to the contracts as to which revenue is being recognized when the Company receives payment from the customer, as more fully described in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in the 2020 first quarter Form 10-Q.

Gross margin in the first quarter of 2020 was 84% as compared to 89% in the first quarter of 2019. The gross margin decrease reflects the cost of higher quality standards of current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and investments in our Biologic License Application (BLA) programs.

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses for the first quarter of 2020 decreased approximately $3.9 million, or 7.7%, to $46.9 million compared to $50.9 million for the first quarter of 2019. The decrease was primarily related to a reduction in legal fees related to normal course of business matters, and a decrease in discretionary expenses as the Company implemented safety and cost-containment measures to mitigate the impact to the business from COVID-19. This was partially offset by an increase in severance expense.

Investigation, restatement and related expense for the first quarter of 2020 decreased approximately $2.5 million, or 13.9%, to $15.6 million, compared to $18.1 million for the first quarter of 2019. The decrease was primarily related to a reduction in investigation and litigation costs, as the Audit Committee investigation concluded in May 2019.

COVID-19 Impact

Our ability to sell our product has been hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our sales force is spread across the country, and in many areas, our sales force was excluded from hospitals and other medical facilities. Additionally, many patients stayed away from healthcare facilities, in part due to shelter-in place restrictions. The impact of the pandemic had an adverse effect on our revenues beginning late in the first quarter of 2020 and continuing into April. By mid-May, access to hospitals and healthcare providers by our sales force had been mostly restored, and we began to see significant numbers of patients return for treatment, including for elective procedures. However, as of the date of this release, additional restrictions have been put in place in some areas of the country that again limit or postpone elective surgical procedures, and in particular, in areas of the country that contribute a larger portion of our sales. Future sales will depend on patients’ willingness to visit healthcare providers for care, and our sales force’s access to healthcare providers. At this time, the future impacts of COVID-19 on our business remain uncertain.

In response to these challenges, our management team initiated several actions. Most discretionary expenses such as travel were cancelled. Merit salary increases were deferred and, beginning on April 5, 2020, we reduced employee salaries, including those of senior executives, on a sliding scale with larger reductions applied to larger salaries. We intend for these reductions to last up to six months, and estimate that the combination of these efforts has saved the Company approximately $9 million through June 30, 2020. This has allowed us to reduce our expense base and reduce cash outlays, although we expect our margins to be temporarily reduced until sales levels return to normal. Nevertheless, at the end of the first quarter of 2020 and continuing into April, we saw a reduction in the amount of cash generated by the business. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $53.5 million of cash and cash equivalents and $72.2 million of long-term debt.

Recent Developments

We expect net sales during the quarter ended June 30, 2020 to decline between 23-27% from $67.4 million of net sales in the quarter ended June 30, 2019. We attribute most of this anticipated decline to the impact of COVID-19. The pandemic caused elective procedures to be delayed and/or canceled, as well as increased access restrictions within patient settings, making it difficult to retain and generate new business. Gross margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 is expected to be between 84-86%. Cost-containment actions continued in the second quarter, and we expect SG&A expenses in the quarter ended June 30, 2020 to have decreased 16-20%, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2019. We expect Investigation, restatement and related expenses to be approximately $11 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2020.

On July 2, 2020, the Company announced the closing of concurrent $150 million private equity and debt financings, consisting of an equity financing pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement with EW Healthcare Partners and certain funds managed by Hayfin Capital Management LLP (“Hayfin”) and a debt financing pursuant to a Loan Agreement with Hayfin. Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issued shares of a newly created Series B Convertible Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000,000 (the “Equity Investment”), with $90,000,000 being made by an affiliate of EW Healthcare Partners and $10,000,000 being made by Hayfin. Under the Loan Agreement, Hayfin is providing MiMedx with a five-year term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $50 million, the full amount of which has been borrowed and funded, and a one-year delayed draw term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $25 million, which has not been drawn or funded (collectively, the “Hayfin Loan Transaction”).

The aggregate proceeds of the Equity Investment and the Hayfin Loan Transaction have been or will be used (i) to repay the outstanding principal, interest, and prepayment premium resulting from the early termination of the Company’s Term Loan Agreement with Blue Torch Finance LLC (the “BT Loan Agreement”), (ii) for working capital and general corporate purposes, and (iii) to pay transaction fees, costs, and expenses incurred in connection with the Equity Investment, the Hayfin Loan Transaction, and related transactions.

Prior to the Equity Investment and the Hayfin Loan Transaction, at June 26, 2020, the Company had approximately $48 million of cash and cash equivalents and approximately $73 million of long-term debt. Following the closing of the Preferred Stock Transaction and the Hayfin Loan Transaction, and the repayment and termination of the BT Loan Agreement, as of July 2, 2020, the Company had approximately $110 million of cash and cash equivalents and approximately $50 million of long-term debt.
