May 6, 2022

CARLSBAD, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Alphatec Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATEC), a provider of innovative solutions dedicated to revolutionizing the approach to spine surgery, today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, and recent corporate highlights.

First Quarter 2022 Financial Results

First Quarter Highlights

• ATEC lateral procedures, including the Prone Trans-Psoas (PTP) Technique, delivered approximately 40% of revenue growth;
• Grew average revenue per surgery by 11% on strong adoption of procedures with greater complexity;
• Trained over 100 surgeons, contributing to an 18% increase in surgeon users compared to prior year;
• Generated over $10 million in EOS-related revenue with strong order book growth.

“Momentum accelerated throughout the first quarter, marking a strong start to the new year,” said Pat Miles, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Our organic growth is a direct result of our willingness to invest in unique technologies that increase the predictability and reproducibility of spine surgery. PTP will be a long-term growth driver because it improves lateral surgery with proprietary advances in neuromonitoring and purposefully designed instruments that create more predictable outcomes for a broader surgeon population – including those who historically have favored posterior approaches. Similarly, the information that EOS affords today, and the differentiated capabilities under development, will bring unprecedented clinical, operational, and economic predictability to spine. Surgeons are increasingly endorsing our thesis by partnering with ATEC for more surgeries and surgeries of greater complexity, utilizing more of the technology we now offer. Yet, this is still just the beginning. ATEC is primed to perform – not just in 2022, but throughout this decade.”

Financial Outlook for the Full Year 2022

The Company now expects total revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, to approximate $316 million, reflecting growth of approximately 30% compared to the full year 2021. This includes organic revenue growth of 27% and approximately $47 million of revenue related to EOS imaging. This compares to previous total revenue guidance of approximately $305 million.

The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with an additional tool for evaluating the Company’s core performance, which management uses in its own evaluation of continuing operating performance, and a baseline for assessing the future earnings potential of the Company. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in the Company’s industry, as other companies in the industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently, particularly related to non-recurring, unusual items.
