Business Highlights

  • Portfolio-wide strength drove fourth quarter 2023 surgical revenue growth of 34% with an acceleration in volume growth to 29% compared to 24% in the prior quarter;
  • Expanded lateral platform with full launch of Lateral TransPsoas (LTP™) + Midline ALIF approaches and Calibrate LTX™, a lateral expandable implant;
  • Elevated the procedural sophistication of comprehensive portfolio with launch of 15 new products and line extensions in 2023;
  • Trained over 500 surgeons in 2023, contributing to a 27% increase in surgeon users compared to 2022.

Pat Miles, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "The success we’ve achieved to date is testament: ATEC lateral sophistication, alone, is capable of building a good, profitable company. But we aspire for much more. We are building a spine monster, and the informatics and procedural innovation that our 100% spine-focused knowhow will unleash in the years ahead will further our mission to truly revolutionize spine care. We are all systems go in the pursuit of ATEC’s best, which is yet to come."

Non-GAAP Financial Definition Update

The Company is updating its non-GAAP financial measures to include the non-cash impact of the provision for excess and obsolete inventory (“E&O”) in the calculation of Cost of Goods Sold. With the majority of ATEC’s strategic portfolio transformation complete, the Company has determined that E&O charges are a normal and recurring aspect of operating the business and should be included in the assessment of operating performance. For detail on the impact of this reporting change on previously reported periods and 2024 guidance, a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures under both the updated and prior definitions has been included in this release and on the Investor Relations Section of ATEC’s Corporate Website.

Financial Outlook for the Full Year 2024

The Company continues to expect total revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, to approximate $595 million, reflecting growth of approximately 23% compared to 2023. This includes surgical revenue of $530 million and approximately $65 million of EOS revenue. The Company expects full year 2024 non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA to approximate $22 million, which implies 560 basis points of improvement in adjusted EBITDA margin compared to full year 2023. Under the prior non-GAAP financial definition, adjusted EBITDA guidance would have approximated $40 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement the Company’s financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), the Company reports certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating loss, and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA. 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. Non-GAAP financial results should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Included below are reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures and a discussion of the Company’s non-GAAP definitions. We have not reconciled our adjusted operating expenses and adjusted EBITDA estimates for full year 2024 because certain items that impact these figures are uncertain or out of our control and cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, a reconciliation of 2024 adjusted operating expenses and adjusted EBITDA estimates is not available without unreasonable effort.

Inducement Awards Granted

As an inducement material to accepting employment with the Company, and in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4), ATEC today announced that the independent Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has approved aggregate grants to 22 new employees (who are not executive officers) of, collectively, 31,780 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the Company’s 2016 Employment Inducement Award Plan. The RSUs will vest in equal annual installments on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date, provided that the recipient remains continuously employed by ATEC as of such vesting date. In addition, the RSUs will vest fully upon a change of control of ATEC.

Non-GAAP Definitions

  • Amortization of intangible assets:

    Represents amortization expense in connection with business combinations or asset acquisitions associated with acquired intangible assets including, but not limited to customer relationships, intellectual property and trade names.
  • Litigation-related expenses:

    We are involved in various litigation matters that from time-to-time result in settlements. Litigation matters can vary in their characteristics, frequency and significance to our operating results and core business operations. We review litigation matters from both a qualitative and quantitative perspective to determine whether such matters are a normal and recurring part of our business. We include in our GAAP financial statements litigation fees and settlement expenses that we determine to be normal, recurring and routine to our business. When we determine that certain litigation matters are not normal and recurring to our core business operations, we believe excluding these expenses will provide our management and investors with useful incremental information. Litigation fees and settlement expenses excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures in the periods presented relate primarily to patent litigation and other litigation matters that relate directly to the business transformation that we started in 2018 and are discussed more fully in our periodic reports filed with the Securities Exchange Commission.
  • Other non-recurring expenses:

    These expenses represent non-recurring expenses that we consider to be one-time in nature.
  • Purchase accounting adjustments on acquisitions:

    Includes non-cash expenses incurred as a result of fair value asset step-ups associated with tangible assets acquired from business combinations or asset acquisitions.
  • Restructuring expenses:

    From time-to-time, in order to realign the Company’s operations or to achieve synergies associated with an acquisition, the Company may eliminate roles or restructure its operations and footprint. In such cases the Company may incur one-time severance and personnel costs associated with workforce reductions, or costs associated with exiting and/or relocating facilities. We exclude these costs as we do not consider such amounts to be part of the ongoing operations.
  • Stock-based compensation:

    Stock-based compensation is charged to cost of revenue and operating expenses. We exclude stock-based compensation from certain of our non-GAAP financial measures because we believe that excluding these non-cash expenses provides meaningful supplemental information regarding operational performance. Because of the variety of equity awards used by companies, the varying methodologies for determining stock-based compensation expense, the subjective assumptions involved in those determinations, and the volatility in valuations that can be driven by market conditions outside the Company’s control, the Company believes excluding stock-based compensation expense enhances the ability of management and investors to understand and assess the underlying performance of its business over time.
  • Transaction-related expenses:

    These expenses represent one-time costs associated with business combinations and asset acquisitions. These items may include but are not limited to consulting and legal fees, contract termination costs and other related deal costs.
  • Adjusted EBITDA:

    Represents earnings before non-operating income/expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted for the applicable non-GAAP adjustments previously described.
