Bioventus Issues Revised Third Quarter Results; Updates Full-Year 2022 Financial Guidance
DURHAM, NC – November 21, 2022 – Bioventus Inc. (Nasdaq: BVS) ("Bioventus" or "the Company"), a global leader in innovations for active healing, today amended its previously announced financial results for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2022.
Due to the adverse effect on the previously announced third quarter 2022 financial results and revenue guidance that resulted from additional rebate claims related to certain of the Company’s products and a non-cash impairment charge required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles resulting from the recent decline in the Company’s market capitalization subsequent to its previously announced financial results for the third quarter of 2022, the Company is amending its previously announced third quarter financial results as provided below, which replaces the earnings release of November 8, 2022 in its entirety.
Q3 Financial Summary & Recent Highlights:
Net Sales of $128.7 million, up $19.8 million, or 18.2%, year-over-year as reported (19.1% constant currency*) and down (0.5%) organically* (0.3% constant currency*)
Net Loss of $145.7 million, compared to Net Loss of $2.3 million in prior-year period
Adjusted EBITDA* of $21.0 million, compared to $21.3 million in prior-year period
Loss per share of Class A common stock of $1.76, compared to $0.03 in prior-year period
Non-GAAP earnings per share of Class A common stock* of $0.06, compared to $0.19 in prior-year period

“We remain focused on delivering above market revenue growth and driving enhanced profitability while improving our internal processes for efficiencies and effectiveness," commented Ken Reali, Bioventus’ chief executive officer. “We are also thoroughly investigating all options to strategically strengthen our portfolio and financial profile and position our company for long-term success.”

Total net sales were $128.7 million compared to $108.9 million for the third quarter of 2021, an increase of $19.8 million, or 18.2%, year-over-year, primarily due to acquisitions.

Operating loss was ($200.9) million, compared to operating loss of ($1.0) million for the third quarter of 2021, a decrease of ($199.8) million, year-over-year. This loss was primarily related to a $189.2 million non-cash impairment charge due to the recent decline in our market capitalization subsequent to our previously announced financial results for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2022. Operating margin was (156.1%) of net sales, compared to (1.0%) of net sales for the third quarter of 2021. Non-GAAP operating income* was $15.9 million, compared to $15.7 million for the third quarter of 2021, an increase of $0.2 million year-over-year. Non-GAAP operating margin* was 12.4% of net sales, compared to 14.4% of net sales for the third quarter of 2021.

Updated Full Year 2022 Financial Guidance:
For the twelve months ending December 31, 2022, the Company now expects:
Net sales of $517 million to $522 million, representing year-over-year growth of approximately 20% to 21%, representing an update to the prior guidance of $547.5 million to $562.5 million.
Adjusted EBITDA* of $75 million to $79 million, compared to $80.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, and representing an update from the prior guidance of $94 million to $104 million.
Non-GAAP EPS* of $0.20 to $0.25, compared to $0.75 for the year ended December 31, 2021, and representing an update from the prior guidance of $0.47 to $0.57.
During the second quarter of 2022, prior to obtaining the results from our Phase 2 trial, we elected to discontinue the development of MOTYS, to focus our resources on other priorities, including the integration of our recent acquisitions and our expanded R&D and product development portfolio we inherited with these acquisitions. We may assess further strategic options at a future date. Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP EPS guidance reflect costs related to the fulfillment of remaining regulatory obligations as an adjusting item. Please see footnote (j) to the table "Reconciliation of Net (Loss) Income to Adjusted EBITDA (unaudited)" below for additional information regarding the reconciling item for MOTYS Costs (as defined below).
The Company does not provide U.S. GAAP financial measures, other than net sales, on a forward-looking basis, because the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the impact and timing of acquisition related expenses, accounting fair-value adjustments, and certain other reconciling items without unreasonable efforts. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to the Company’s results computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The Company's guidance reflects its current expectations regarding the impact of COVID-19 on its business. The severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic are outside of the Company’s control and, given the uncertain nature of the pandemic, could cause the Company’s future operating results to be different from our current expectations, particularly if the impact of the pandemic worsens.

Legal Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements contained in this press release that do not relate to matters of historical fact should be considered forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements concerning our financial guidance (including expected MOTYS Costs) and expected financial performance; our business strategy, position and operations; expected sales trends, opportunities, market position and growth (including from the acquisition of CartiHeal); our integration plans; and expected impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “aim,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “could,” “due,” “estimate,” “expect,” “goal,” “intend,” “may,” “objective,” “plan,” “predict,” “potential,” “positioned,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would” and other similar expressions that are predictions of or indicate future events and future trends, or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words.
*See below under “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for more details.


Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified. Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in this press release include, but are not limited to, the risk that the material weakness we identified or a new material risk could adversely affect our ability to report our results of operations and financial condition accurately and in a timely manner; our ability to complete acquisitions or successfully integrate new businesses, such as CartiHeal, products or technologies in a cost-effective and non-disruptive manner; we might not be able to continue to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months as a going concern; we might not meet certain of our debt covenants under our Credit Agreement and might be required to repay our indebtedness; we might not be able to fund the remainder of the deferred consideration for the CartiHeal acquisition as it becomes due; our business may continue to experience adverse impacts as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; we are highly dependent on a limited number of products; our long-term growth depends on our ability to develop, acquire and commercialize new products, line extensions or expanded indications; we may be unable to successfully commercialize newly developed or acquired products or therapies in the United States; demand for our existing portfolio of products and any new products, line extensions or expanded indications depends on the continued and future acceptance of our products by physicians, patients, third-party payers and others in the medical community; the proposed down classification of non-invasive bone growth stimulators, including our Exogen system, by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) could increase future competition for bone growth stimulators and otherwise adversely affect the Company’s sales of Exogen; failure to achieve and maintain adequate levels of coverage and/or reimbursement for our products or future products, the procedures using our products, such as our hyaluronic acid (HA) viscosupplements, or future products we may seek to commercialize, such as our recently acquired Agili-C product; pricing pressure and other competitive factors; governments outside the United States might not provide coverage or reimbursement of our products; we compete and may compete in the future against other companies, some of which have longer operating histories, more established products or greater resources than we do; the reclassification of our HA products from medical devices to drugs in the United States by the FDA could negatively impact our ability to market these products and may require that we conduct costly additional clinical studies to support current or future indications for use of those products; our ability to maintain our competitive position depends on our ability to attract, retain and motivate our senior management team and highly qualified personnel; our failure to properly manage our anticipated growth and strengthen our brands; risks related to product liability claims; fluctuations in demand for our products; issues relating to the supply of our products, potential supply chain disruptions and the increased cost of parts and components used to manufacture our products due to inflation; our reliance on a limited number of third-party manufacturers to manufacture certain of our products; if our facilities are damaged or become inoperable, we will be unable to continue to research, develop and manufacture our products; failure to maintain contractual relationships; security breaches, unauthorized disclosure of information, denial of service attacks or the perception that confidential information in our possession is not secure; failure of key information technology and communications systems, process or sites; risks related to international sales and operations; risks related to our debt and future capital needs; failure to comply with extensive governmental regulation relevant to us and our products; we may be subject to enforcement action if we engage in improper claims submission practices and resulting audits or denials of our claims by government agencies could reduce our net sales or profits; the FDA regulatory process is expensive, time-consuming and uncertain, and the failure to obtain and maintain required regulatory clearances and approvals could prevent us from commercializing our products; if clinical studies of our future products do not produce results necessary to support regulatory clearance or approval in the United States or elsewhere, we will be unable to expand the indications for or commercialize these products; legislative or regulatory reforms; risks related to intellectual property matters; and the other risks identified in the Risk Factors section of the Company’s public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including Bioventus’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 as updated by Bioventus' subsequent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended October 1, 2022 and as may be further updated from time to time in Bioventus’ other filings with the SEC, which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and the Investor Relations page of Bioventus’ website at https://ir.bioventus.com. Except to the extent required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update or review any estimate, projection, or forward-looking statement. Actual results may differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Organic Revenue Growth
The Company defines the term “organic revenue” as revenue in the stated period excluding the impact from business acquisitions and divestitures. The Company uses the related term “organic revenue growth” to refer to the financial performance metric of comparing the stated period's organic revenue with the reported revenue of the corresponding period in the prior year. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with our GAAP financial measures, allow the Company and its investors to better measure the Company’s performance and evaluate long-term performance trends. Organic revenue growth also facilitates easier comparisons of the Company’s performance with prior and future periods and relative comparisons to its peers. The Company excludes the effect of acquisitions and divestitures because these activities can have a significant impact on the Company's reported results, which the Company believes makes comparisons of long-term performance trends difficult for management and investors.
Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Gross Margin, Non-GAAP Operating Income, Non-GAAP Operating Expense, Non-GAAP Operating Margin, Non-GAAP Net Income, and Non-GAAP Earnings per share of Class A Common Stock
We present Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Gross Margin, Non-GAAP Operating Income, Non-GAAP Operating Expense, Non-GAAP Operating Margin, Non-GAAP Net Income, and Non-GAAP Earnings per share of Class A common stock, all non-GAAP financial measures, to supplement our GAAP financial reporting, because we believe these measures are useful indicators of our operating performance. We revised our prior year presentation of our Non-GAAP measures to condense the adjustments in order to simplify the presentation. Prior periods have been recast to conform to the current periods.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income from continuing operations before depreciation and amortization, provision of income taxes and interest expense (income), net, adjusted for the impact of certain cash, non-cash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These items include acquisition and related costs, remeasurement gains and losses on investments, impairments on goodwill, restructuring and succession charges, equity compensation expense, equity loss in unconsolidated investments, foreign currency impact, and other items. See the table below for a reconciliation of net (loss) income to Adjusted EBITDA. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA principally as a measure of our operating performance and believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to our investors because it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of the operating performance of companies in industries similar to ours. Our management also uses Adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and financial projections.
Our management uses Non-GAAP Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Gross Margin, Non-GAAP Operating Income, Non-GAAP Operating Expense, Non-GAAP Operating Margin and Non-GAAP Net Income principally as measures of our operating performance and believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to better understand the long term performance of our core business and to facilitate comparison of our results to those of peer companies. Our management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and financial projections.
We define Non-GAAP Gross Profit as gross profit, adjusted for the impact of certain cash, non-cash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These items include depreciation and amortization included in the cost of goods sold and acquisition and related costs in the cost of goods sold. We define Non-GAAP Gross Margin as Non-GAAP Gross Profit divided by net sales. See the table below for a reconciliation of gross profit and gross margin to Non-GAAP Gross Profit and Non-GAAP Gross Margin.
We define Non-GAAP Operating Income as operating income, adjusted for the impact of certain cash, non-cash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These items include depreciation and amortization, acquisition and related costs, remeasurement gains and losses on investments, impairments on goodwill, restructuring and succession charges, and other items. Non-GAAP Operating Margin is defined as Non-GAAP Operating Income divided by net sales. See the table below for a reconciliation of operating (loss) income and operating margin to Non-GAAP Operating Income and Non-GAAP Operating Margin.
*See below under “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for more details.


We define Non-GAAP Operating Expense as operating expenses, adjusted to exclude certain cash, non-cash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These items include depreciation and amortization, acquisition and related costs, remeasurements gains and losses on investments, impairments on goodwill, restructuring and succession charges, and other items. See the table below for a reconciliation of operating expenses to Non-GAAP Operating Expenses.
We define Non-GAAP Net Income as Net Income, adjusted for the impact of certain cash, non-cash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These items include depreciation and amortization, acquisition and related costs, restructuring and succession charges, other items, and the tax effect of adjusting items. Starting in the fourth quarter of 2021, we revised our presentation of Non-GAAP Net Income to include the income tax effect of adjusting items. The income tax effect was calculated by applying management's expectation of a long-term normalized effective tax rate to the adjusting items. Prior period presentation has been recast to conform to current period presentation. See the table below for a reconciliation of Net (Loss) Income to Non-GAAP Net Income.
We define Non-GAAP Earnings per Class A share as Earnings per Class A share, adjusted for the impact of certain cash, non-cash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These items include depreciation and amortization, acquisition and related costs, restructuring and succession charges, other items, and the tax effect of adjusting items divided by weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Starting in the fourth quarter of 2021, we revised our presentation of Non-GAAP Earnings per Class A share to include the income tax effect of adjusting items. The income tax effect was calculated by applying management's expectation of a long-term normalized effective tax rate to the adjusting items. Prior period presentation has been recast to conform to current period presentation. See the table below for a reconciliation of loss per Class A share to Non-GAAP Earnings per Class A share.
Net Sales, International Net Sales Growth and Organic Revenue Growth on a Constant Currency Basis
Net Sales, International Net Sales Growth and Organic Revenue Growth on a Constant Currency Basis are non-GAAP measures, which are calculated by translating current and prior year results at the same foreign currency exchange rate. Constant currency can be presented for numerous GAAP measures, but is most commonly used by management to facilitate the comparison sales in foreign currencies to prior periods and analyze net sales performance without the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
*See below under “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for more details.


Limitations of the Usefulness of Non-GAAP Measures
Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or as superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. These measures might exclude certain normal recurring expenses. Therefore, these measures may not provide a complete understanding of the Company's performance and should be reviewed in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures. Additionally, other companies might define their non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures provided in this press release, including in the tables below, to their most directly comparable GAAP measures.

We incurred $1.8 million and $2.5 million during the three and nine months ended October 1, 2022, respectively, and we expect to incur approximately $4.0 million to $6.0 million exclusively to fulfill our remaining regulatory obligations related to our Phase 2 trial (MOTYS Costs).
