Second Quarter & Recent Highlights
- Increased total revenue to $18.2 million for second quarter 2019, up 20.7% from $15.1 million in second quarter 2018
- Deployed $9.3 million of consignment sets during the second quarter 2019
- Acquired Vilex, including its Orthex Hexapod circular fixation technology and proprietary CORA-based x-ray planning software, for $60.2 million
- Increased domestic sales organization to 152 reps, including Orthex, up 22% from the second quarter 2018

- Received FDA 510(k) clearance in August for PediFoot, the first pediatric-specific to address the most common foot deformities in children
- Updated full year revenue guidance from 21% to 23% growth to 23% to 25%, including Orthex
Mark Throdahl, President and Chief Executive Officer of OrthoPediatrics, commented, “I am very pleased with the momentum we are sustaining in the marketplace and by our record-setting revenues of $18.2 million, the highest achieved in any quarter, despite one less selling day, which had a 2% unfavorable impact. This 21% increase was driven by improved Trauma & Deformity growth, significant international growth despite very strong comparables, an increase in new surgeons using our scoliosis systems, and the initial impact of Orthex. Furthermore, with $9.3 million of deployed sets in the second quarter, we are on pace to achieve our full year set investment guidance of $15-$17 million. We will continue to benefit from these set investments as well as new products, the recent acquisition of Orthex, and our previously-announced partnership with CoorsTek, all which highlight our commitment to innovation and the expansion of our capabilities as we continue to scale the business.”
Mr. Throdahl continued, “We are pleased with the initial integration of the Orthex acquisition and are encouraged by the number of unsolicited expressions of interest in purchasing the adult Vilex business, which we previously reported would be sold later this year. We look forward to growing contributions from Orthex as our sales representatives are trained on this unique product. Overall, we remain confident that this will prove to be another successful year of strong growth that will support our updated revenue guidance of 23-25%.”
