“While we have made significant investments that have Xtant well-positioned for long-term growth, the impact from the delta variant of COVID-19 created near-term pressures on elective spinal procedures across our key markets,” said Sean Browne, President and CEO of Xtant Medical. “In spite of these challenges, we continued to grow our distribution network, expand into adjacent markets and introduce exciting, new products to market, all of which are important pillars of our growth strategy. Our unyielding focus on bringing innovative biologics products to patients in need allows us to fulfill our mission of honoring the gift of donation.”
Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Third quarter 2021 revenue was $13.8 million, compared to $14.0 million for the same quarter in 2020. The decrease in revenue was largely attributable to reductions in elective procedures in key markets due to the impact of COVID-19.
Gross margin for the third quarter of 2021 was 52.2%, compared to 66.0% for the same period in 2020. The decrease was primarily attributable to a shift in product sales mix with an increase in original equipment manufacturer (OEM) channel sales and a reduction in independent agent channel sales, a temporary reduction in manufacturing overhead absorption, and an increase in the write-down of excess and obsolete inventory.
Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2021 totaled $8.6 million, compared to $8.5 million for the third quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily due to greater salaries and wage expenses and marketing and travel expenses, partially offset by reduced employee compensation expense and lower commissions resulting from a greater a mix of commission-free private label and OEM sales.
Third quarter 2021 net loss totaled $1.8 million, or $0.02 per share, compared to the third quarter 2020 net loss of $1.4 million, or $0.10 per share.
Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2021 totaled a loss of $0.5 million, compared to Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA of $1.5 million for the prior-year period. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income/loss from operations before depreciation, amortization and interest expense and provision for income taxes, and as further adjusted to add back in or exclude, as applicable, non-cash compensation, separation related expenses, and litigation settlement reserves. A calculation and reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss can be found in the attached financial tables.
