Sanara MedTech Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2023 Results
FORT WORTH, TX / GlobeNewswire / August 14, 2023 / Sanara MedTech Inc. Based in Fort Worth, Texas, Sanara MedTech Inc. (“Sanara,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) (NASDAQ: SMTI), a medical technology company focused on developing and commercializing transformative technologies to improve clinical outcomes and reduce healthcare expenditures in the surgical, chronic wound and skincare markets, announced today its strategic, operational and financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.
Zach Fleming, Sanara’s CEO stated, “The second quarter of 2023 was another record revenue quarter for the Company. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, we completed the acquisition of certain assets related to our collagen products business that we believe will significantly add to our businesses’ performance by decreasing costs and eliminating the royalties we paid on CellerateRX Surgical and HYCOL to the sellers. Additionally, we believe the acquisition will allow us to further develop and commercialize new efficacious products.”
Second Quarter 2023 Strategic and Operational Highlights (Unaudited)
- During the trailing twelve-month period, the Company’s products were sold in over 950 facilities across 33 states.
- The Company’s products were contracted or approved to be sold in more than 3,000 hospitals/ASCs as of June 30, 2023. The large increase quarter over quarter was attributable to the Company signing an agreement with a major group purchasing organization.
- Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets related to its collagen products business. The assets acquired included, among others:
- All rights and ownership (for human wound care uses) for four 510(k) cleared collagen-based wound care products, including CellerateRX® Surgical Powder and Gel (“CellerateRX Surgical”) and HYCOL® Hydrolyzed Collagen (“HYCOL”).
- All rights and ownership (for human wound care uses) for three new collagen-based products currently under development.
- All patents, patents pending, trademarks and regulatory approvals related to collagen human wound care products owned by the sellers. This includes nine patents and all of the sellers’ patents pending for collagen products for human wound care uses and five trademarks.
Sales Analysis
The Company generated net revenues of $15.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to net revenues of $9.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, a 63% increase from the prior year period. The higher net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2023 were primarily due to increased sales of soft tissue repair products (CellerateRX Surgical, FORTIFY TRG® Tissue Repair Graft, FORTIFY FLOWABLE® ECM, and TEXAGEN® Amniotic Membrane Allograft) and, to a lesser extent, bone fusion products (BiFORM® Bioactive Moldable Matrix, AMPLIFY™ Verified Inductive Bone Matrix, and ALLOCYTE® Advanced Cellular Bone Matrix), as a result of the Company’s increased market penetration and geographic expansion, additional revenues as a result of the Company’s acquisition of Scendia Biologics, LLC in 2022 and the Company’s continuing strategy to expand its independent distribution network in both new and existing U.S. markets. The Company’s sales continue to be negatively impacted by supply issues related to its ALLOCYTE® Advanced Cellular Bone Matrix product. The Company is starting to see improvement and expects an alternative source to come online in the near future.
Earnings Analysis
The Company had a loss before income taxes of $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to a loss before income taxes of $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The lower loss before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was due to operating expenses increasing at a slower rate than net sales in addition to the benefit recorded as a result of the change in fair value of earnout liabilities. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company had a net loss of $1.9 million, compared to net income of $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The higher net income in 2022 was primarily due to a one-time noncash income tax benefit realized in Q2 of 2022. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets related to its collagen products business. The Company believes that cost savings and the elimination of royalties paid to the sellers will meaningfully contribute to the Company’s earnings going forward. In 2022, the Company paid $1.8 million in royalties on its collagen products.
