Management Comments

“Our team delivered an impressive conclusion to 2024, with net revenue growth in the fourth quarter of 49% year-over-year, fueled primarily by sales of soft tissue products in our Sanara Surgical segment,” stated Ron Nixon, Sanara’s Executive Chairman and CEO. “Throughout 2024, our Sanara Surgical commercial team achieved strong execution with respect to our growth strategy, expanding our coverage and penetration of the markets we serve. We also made significant progress in developing the technology platform and infrastructure for Tissue Health Plus, our value-based wound care program. In parallel, we continued our efforts to evaluate and pursue new partnerships, enhance our intellectual property portfolio and develop our product pipeline, while securing a new credit facility to provide increased financial flexibility as we pursue our long-term strategy.”

Mr. Nixon continued: “Looking ahead, our team remains focused on driving revenue growth and improving profitability in our Sanara Surgical segment, while continuing to invest in our Tissue Health Plus segment. In 2025, we remain focused on improving the profitability in our Sanara Surgical segment, while continuing to invest in our Tissue Health Plus segment in preparation for a planned launch of our first pilot program with a wound care provider group during the second quarter. Specifically, we expect our continued investment in Tissue Health Plus over the first half of 2025 to be between $7.5 to $10.0 million. Importantly, we are pursuing financial partners to invest in the execution of our Tissue Health Plus strategy. We look forward to expanding awareness and adoption of our technologies this year, with the goal of improving patient outcomes, reducing healthcare costs and enhancing the long-term value of our organization.”

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Revenue

The following tables summarize revenue streams from product sales and royalties for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:

Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Net revenue for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $26.3 million, compared to $17.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, an increase of $8.6 million, or 49%, year-over-year. The increase in net revenue was driven by an increase of $8.5 million, or 56%, in sales of soft tissue repair products and an increase of $0.2 million, or 8%, in sales of bone fusion products.

The increase in sales of soft tissue repair products was driven primarily by increased demand for CellerateRX^® Surgical Activated Collagen^® (“CellerateRX Surgical”) and, to a lesser extent, BIASURGE^® Advanced Surgical Solution (“BIASURGE”). Fourth quarter 2024 BIASURGE^® sales were driven, in part, by approximately $1.8 million of revenue that we believe is attributable to supply chain issues and shortages of intravenous fluids and saline solutions experienced by the broader industry due to Hurricane Helene.

Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $24.1 million, compared to $15.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, an increase of $8.2 million, or 51%, year-over-year. The increase in gross profit was driven by increased sales of soft tissue repair and bone fusion products. Gross margin was 91% of net revenue for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to 90% of net revenue for the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase in gross margin was driven by increased sales of soft tissue repair products, particularly CellerateRX^® Surgical and BIASURGE^®.

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2024 were $24.4 million, compared to $16.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, an increase of $8.3 million, or 51%, year-over-year. The increase in operating expenses was driven by an increase of $6.1 million, or 37%, in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”), an increase of $1.8 million, or 270%, in research and development (“R&D”), and an increase of $0.5 million, or 47%, in depreciation and amortization. The increase in depreciation and amortization in the fourth quarter of 2024 was driven by a $0.5 million non-cash charge to write-off the remaining net book value of certain Tissue Health Plus internal use software assets.

Operating loss for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $0.4 million, compared to operating loss of $0.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2023.

Other expense for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $1.3 million, compared to $36,449 for the fourth quarter of 2023. Other expense for the fourth quarter of 2024 primarily included higher interest expense related to the Company’s term loan with CRG.

Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $1.7 million compared to a net loss of $0.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. The Company’s Sanara Surgical segment generated net income of $0.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to a net loss of $0.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. The Company’s Tissue Health Plus segment generated a net loss of $2.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to net income of $0.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. The year-over-year increase in net loss in the Company’s Tissue Health Plus segment was primarily due to higher SG&A and R&D related to the buildout of the Tissue Health Plus platform and infrastructure, and higher depreciation and amortization related to a $0.5 million non-cash charge in the fourth quarter of 2024 to write-off the remaining net book value of certain Tissue Health Plus internal use software assets.

Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $0.9 million, compared to $0.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. The Company’s Sanara Surgical segment generated Segment Adjusted EBITDA⁽²⁾ of $4.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $1.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. The Company’s Tissue Health Plus segment generated Segment Adjusted EBITDA⁽²⁾ of ($3.1) million for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to ($1.1) million for the fourth quarter of 2023.

As of December 31, 2024, Sanara had $15.9 million of cash and $30.5 million of principal debt obligations outstanding, and $24.5 million of available borrowing capacity, compared to $5.1 million, $9.8 million, and $2.3 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2023.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED)

To supplement the Company’s financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we present certain non-GAAP financial measures in this press release and on the related teleconference call, including Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted EBITDA. The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, both internally and externally, to assess and communicate the financial performance of the Company. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) excluding interest expense/income, provision/benefit for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash share-based compensation expense, change in fair value of earnout liabilities, share of losses from equity method investments, executive separation costs, legal and diligence expenses related to acquisitions, and gains/losses on the disposal of property and equipment, as each is applicable to the periods presented. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is calculated in the same manner as Adjusted EBITDA but is presented on a segment basis. The Company has historically presented Segment Adjusted EBITDA as Segment EBITDA, and starting with the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2024, is presenting it as Segment Adjusted EBITDA. The definition and methodology for calculating this measure has remained unchanged.

The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors because they facilitate comparisons of its core business operations across periods on a consistent basis. Accordingly, the Company adjusts for certain items, such as change in fair value of earnout liabilities, when calculating Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted EBITDA because the Company believes that such items are not related to the Company’s core business operations.

The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, nor an alternative for, measures conforming to GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. The Company continues to provide all information required by GAAP, but it believes that evaluating its ongoing operating results may not be as useful if an investor or other user is limited to reviewing only GAAP financial measures. The Company does not, nor does it suggest that, investors should consider these non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Material limitations associated with the use of such measures include that they do not reflect all costs included in operating expenses and may not be comparable with similarly named financial measures of other companies. Furthermore, these non-GAAP financial measures are based on subjective determinations of management regarding the nature and classification of events and circumstances. The Company presents these non-GAAP financial measures to provide investors with information to evaluate the Company’s operating results in a manner similar to how management evaluates business performance. To compensate for any limitations in such non-GAAP financial measures, management believes that it is useful in understanding and analyzing the results of the business to review both GAAP information and the related non-GAAP financial measures. Whenever the Company uses a non-GAAP financial measure, it provides a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Investors are encouraged to review and consider these reconciliations.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA is reported to the chief operating decision maker for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the segments and assessing their performance. We have provided a reconciliation of this measure as it relates to our segments below.
