David Bailey, President & CEO of OrthoPediatrics, commented, “The third quarter results represent yet another strong performance for OrthoPediatrics in which we continued our positive momentum and executed our strategic initiatives. With multiple levers driving our growth, we saw strength across all business segments as Trauma and Deformity, Scoliosis, and OPSB all contributed to further establishing our dominant market share position within pediatric orthopedics. As we look ahead, we are confident in the remainder of 2024 and ending the year in a position of strength. Even more, we are excited about our long-term outlook as we expect to continue extending our growth while we maintain healthy gross margins and generate substantial EBITDA, all while we surround the children's hospital with everything needed to optimize pediatric care."   

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Total revenue for the third quarter of 2024 was $54.6 million, a 37% increase compared to $40.0 million for the same period last year. U.S. revenue for the third quarter of 2024 was $42.7 million, a 45% increase compared to $29.4 million for the same period last year, representing 78% of total revenue. The increase in domestic revenue in the third quarter of 2024 was driven by additional market share gains across Trauma and Deformity, Scoliosis, and OPSB. International revenue for the third quarter of 2024 was $11.9 million, a 12% increase compared to $10.6 million for the same period last year, representing 22% of total revenue. Growth in the quarter was primarily led by Scoliosis revenue.

Trauma and Deformity revenue for the third quarter of 2024 was $37.6 million, a 31% increase compared to $28.8 million for the same period last year. This growth was driven primarily by strong growth across numerous product lines, as well as the addition of Boston O&P. Scoliosis revenue was $15.6 million, a 52% increase compared to $10.3 million for the third quarter of 2023. The growth was driven primarily by increased international scoliosis revenue, new users of spine systems, RESPONSE 5.5/6.0, as well as 7D. Sports Medicine/Other revenue for the third quarter of 2024 was $1.3 million, a 50% increase compared to $0.9 million for the same period last year.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2024 was $40.1 million, a 29% increase compared to $31.0 million for the same period last year. Gross profit margin for the third quarter of 2024 was 73%, compared to 77% for the same period last year. The change in gross margin was primarily driven by changes in product mix due to increased 7D unit sales at lower margin, set sales internationally, as well as less favorable purchase price variance compared to the third quarter of 2023.

Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2024 were $45.6 million, a 29% increase compared to $35.5 million for the same period last year. The increase was mainly driven by the addition of Boston O&P, as well as increased commission expense and incremental personnel required to support the ongoing growth of the Company.

Sales and marketing expenses increased $2.8 million, or 20%, to $16.8 million in the third quarter of 2024. The increase was driven primarily by increased sales commission expenses coupled with additional employees to support the OPSB.

Research and development expenses increased negligibly to $2.6 million in the third quarter of 2024. The slight increase was driven by timing of external development expenses.

General and administrative expenses increased $8.3 million, or 46%, to $26.3 million in the third quarter of 2024. The increase was driven primarily by the addition of Boston O&P, increased depreciation and amortization as well as personnel and resources to support the continued expansion of the business.

Total other expense was $3.6 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $0.8 million of other income for the same period last year. The increase was driven by a one-time refinancing expense of $3.2 million.

Net loss for the third quarter of 2024 was $7.9 million, compared to $4.6 million for the same period last year. Net loss per share for the period was $0.34 per basic and diluted share, compared to $0.20 per basic and diluted share for the same period last year.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2024 was $4.0 million as compared to $3.6 million for the third quarter of 2023.

Weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2024, was 23,171,249 shares.

As of September 30, 2024, cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash were $78.1 million compared to $82.3 million as of December 31, 2023.

Full Year 2024 Financial Guidance
For the full year of 2024, the Company increased its revenue guidance from $200 million to $203 million to $202 million to $204 million , representing growth of 36% to 37% over 2023 revenue. The Company reiterated annual set deployment to be less than $20 million and reiterated $8 million to $9 million of Adjusted EBITDA for the full year of 2024.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of U.S. federal securities laws. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of words such as "may," "might," "will," "should," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "could," "believe," "estimate," "project," "target," "predict," "intend," "future," "goals," "potential,” "objective," "would" and other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, such as the impact of widespread health emergencies, such as COVID-19 and respiratory syncytial virus, and the other risks, uncertainties and factors set forth under "Risk Factors" in OrthoPediatrics’ Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 8, 2024, as updated and supplemented by our other SEC reports filed from time to time, that may cause our results, activity levels, performance or achievements to be materially different from the information expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements;. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. OrthoPediatrics assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, subsequent events, or circumstances or other changes affecting such statements except to the extent required by applicable securities laws.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures such as organic revenue, adjusted loss per share and Adjusted EBITDA, which differ from financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Sales on an organic basis excludes from our reported net revenue growth the impacts of revenue from any acquired business that have been owned for less than one year. We believe that providing the non-GAAP organic revenue is useful as a way to measure and evaluate our underlying performance consistently across the periods presented. Adjusted loss per share in this press release represents diluted loss per share on a GAAP basis, plus the accreted interest attributable to acquisition installment payables, the fair value adjustment of contingent consideration, acquisition related costs, loss on early extinguishment of debt, nonrecurring Pega conversion fees, and minimum purchase commitment costs. The fair value adjustment of contingent consideration is associated with our estimates of the value of earn-outs in connection with certain acquisitions. We believe that providing the non-GAAP diluted loss per share excluding these expenses, as well as the GAAP measures, assists our investors because such expenses are not reflective of our ongoing operating results. Adjusted EBITDA in this release represents net loss, plus interest expense, net plus other expense, provision for income taxes (benefit), depreciation and amortization, tradename impairment, stock-based compensation expense, fair value adjustment of contingent consideration, acquisition related costs, nonrecurring PEGA conversion fees, Midcap financing termination loss, and the cost of minimum purchase commitments. The Company believes the non-GAAP measures provided in this earnings release enable it to further and more consistently analyze the period-to-period financial performance of its core business operating performance. Management uses these metrics as a measure of the Company’s operating performance and for planning purposes, including financial projections. The Company believes these measures are useful to investors as supplemental information because they are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in its industry. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as an alternative to, or superior to, net income or loss as a measure of financial performance or cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, and it should not be construed to imply that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. In addition, the measure is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as it does not reflect certain cash requirements such as debt service requirements, capital expenditures and other cash costs that may recur in the future. Adjusted EBITDA contains certain other limitations, including the failure to reflect our cash expenditures, cash requirements for working capital needs and other potential cash requirements. In evaluating these non-GAAP measures, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses that are the same or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. The Company’s presentation of non-GAAP diluted loss per share or Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed to imply that its future results will be unaffected by any such adjustments. Management compensates for these limitations by primarily relying on the Company’s GAAP results in addition to using these adjusted measures on a supplemental basis. The Company’s definition of these measures is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to different methods of calculation. The schedules below contain reconciliations of reported GAAP net revenue to non-GAAP organic revenue, GAAP diluted loss per share to non-GAAP diluted loss and net loss to non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA.
