Saga Communications, Inc. Declares a Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.25 per Share

GROSSE POINTE FARMS, Mich., March 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Saga Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq – SGA) (the “Company”, “Saga” or “our”) today announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per share. The dividend will be paid on April 7, 2023, to shareholders of record on March 20, 2023. The aggregate amount of the payment to be made in connection with the quarterly dividend will be approximately $1.5 million. The quarterly dividend will be funded by cash on the Company’s balance sheet. Including this dividend, the Company will have paid over $108.3 million in dividends to shareholders since the first special dividend was paid in 2012.

The Company currently intends to declare regular quarterly cash dividends, special dividends, variable dividends, and stock buybacks in the future. The declaration and payment of any future dividend, whether fixed, special, or based on the variable policy, will remain at the full discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors and will depend on the Company’s financial results, cash requirements, future expectations, and other factors that the Company’s Board of Directors finds relevant at the time of any declaration.

As previously reported our Board adopted a variable dividend policy for the allocation of cash flows aligned with the goals of maintaining a strong balance sheet, increasing cash returns to shareholders, and continuing to grow the Company through strategic acquisitions. Under the new policy in addition to any quarterly and special dividends paid, the Company may declare an additional dividend in the Second Quarter of each year of 70% of the preceding year’s Free Cash Flow as reported in the Company’s fourth quarter earnings release, net of acquisitions, special, quarterly and variable dividends, debt paydowns and debt issuance costs and stock buybacks. It is not currently anticipated that a variable dividend will be paid along with the regular quarterly cash dividend in the Second Quarter of 2023 given that our Board declared $4.86 per share in quarterly and special dividends in 2022. The aggregate amount of quarterly and special dividends declared in 2022 was approximately $29.6 million.

Societal CDMO Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Financial Results

Recorded Q4 Revenue of $24.3 Million, a 9% Increase Compared to Prior Year Period

Clinical Trial Materials Development Business Grew by 58% in 2022; Significantly Expanded and Diversified Customer Base

Executed Multi-Step Strategy Resulting in Reduction of Debt and Strengthened Financial Position

Company to Host Webcast Today at 4:30 p.m. ET

SAN DIEGO and GAINESVILLE, Ga., March 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Societal CDMO, Inc. (“Societal CDMO”; NASDAQ: SCTL), a contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) dedicated to solving complex formulation and manufacturing challenges primarily in small molecule therapeutic development, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022.

“One year ago, the company outlined an aggressive roadmap for 2022, including objectives spanning sales and marketing, corporate identity, facilities and capabilities, stakeholder engagement and finally, our financial position. During the year, we successfully met each of these goals, creating a stronger and more capable CDMO,” said David Enloe, chief executive officer of Societal CDMO. “Our expanding customer base includes businesses ranging from early-stage development to commercially mature, and the economic and industry-related factors impacting their decisions are distinct. During 2022, Societal employed a segment-specific sales approach that accounts for important factors such as different decision-making processes, key drivers and metrics of success, project management and the approach to creating productive relationships with our clients. These strategic steps contributed to strong sales in 2022 with our clinical trial support business (non-legacy) growing 58% compared to the prior year. Importantly, we ended the year with a significantly expanded and diversified customer base compared to 2021, with more than three times the number of customers that we had just two years ago.

“As a complement to our evolved sales and marketing approach, during the year, the company changed its name from Recro Pharma to Societal CDMO and adopted the tag line, ’Bringing Science to Society.’ We believe this new identity, hand-in-hand with our bespoke approach to sales and marketing, signals the corporate transformation that is underway and the company’s commitment to our people, our customers, the communities in which we operate and most of all, the patients we ultimately serve.

“During the year, we achieved multiple other important milestones including expanding and optimizing our technical capabilities with the launch of our new aseptic fill/finish and lyophilization services. We also made substantial investments toward enhancing both our customer and employee experiences. Yet, perhaps one of the most significant achievements during the year was the execution of a multi-step strategy that substantially strengthened our financial position. The concurrent, multiple transactions we successfully executed included selling unused land adjacent to our Gainesville, GA facility for approximately $9 million, which is anticipated to close during the second half of 2023; executing a $39 million gross sale-lease-back agreement for the Gainesville manufacturing site and campus; closing concurrent public offerings of common stock and preferred stock, generating gross proceeds of approximately $35.6 million; and, securing a new debt facility for $36.9 million from Royal Bank of Canada, the terms of which significantly improve upon the terms of the company’s previous credit facility, which was repaid and retired one year prior to its maturity date.

“Given the successes of 2022, we look ahead with great optimism. We cannot emphasize more strongly how pleased we are to begin 2023 from a renewed position of financial strength.”


Fourth Quarter 2022 and Other Recent Developments

Business Development:

  • New and expanded customer projects. During the quarter, the company signed $9.5 million in new and expanded project agreements, representing the second consecutive quarter of highest signed business in Company history. The new projects span clinical trial services, analytical method, tech transfer, formulation development, cGMP manufacturing, and packaging services.

Corporate Achievements:

  • Company completes multi-transaction strategy to recast capital structure including reduction and refinancing of outstanding debt. In addition to significantly reducing the company’s total debt, the transactions helped improve the company’s net debt leverage ratio from greater than six times EBITDA to just over two times EBITDA, immediately reducing Societal CDMO’s annual interest burden by an estimated $6 million with the potential to increase that number to approximately $7 million annually.

    • In December 2022, the company executed a sale and leaseback transaction for its Gainesville, Georgia, manufacturing site and campus with Tenet Equity, yielding $39 million in non-dilutive gross proceeds. Upon closing, Societal CDMO entered into a 20-year lease agreement with Tenet Equity, with multiple renewal options. This transaction does not impact Societal CDMO’s other facilities, including its development, high potency and clinical packaging site also located in Gainesville, Georgia, and its development and sterile vial fill/finish & lyophilization facility in San Diego, California.
    • In December 2022, the company closed concurrent public offerings of common stock and preferred stock, generating gross proceeds of approximately $35.6 million, prior to deducting the underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses. RBC Capital Markets acted as sole book-running manager for the offerings.
    • Also in December 2022, the company secured a new debt facility for $36.9 million from Royal Bank of Canada. The facility is in the form of a three-year Term A Loan bearing interest at the floating Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus an initial base rate of 4.5% per annum. The terms of the new debt facility significantly improve upon the terms of the company’s previous credit facility with Athyrium, which carried an interest rate of approximately 13% and held a near-term maturity date of December 31, 2023.
    • In August 2022, the company signed a sales and purchase agreement to sell approximately 121 acres of lakefront land for approximately $9.1 million. The unused land is located adjacent to Societal’s manufacturing facility in Gainesville, Georgia. Subject to completion of diligence, we expect the sale to close in the second half of 2023, with the proceeds further strengthening the company’s financial position.


Financial Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2022

Revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 were $24.3 million and reflects our highest revenue quarter of the year as well as higher than any quarter in the past two years. This represents a 9% increase compared to revenues of $22.3 million recorded during the prior year period. The increase of $2.0 million was primarily driven by an increase in European Ritalin LA demand from the company’s new customer InfectoPharm, as well as an increase in revenue from the company’s largest commercial customer Teva, correlated with pull through in demand resulting from market share gains against the sole competitor for the Verapamil SR products. These increases were partially offset by lower revenues from commercial product sales in San Diego compared to the prior year due to timing of customer shipments.

Cost of sales for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 was $17.4 million compared to $15.7 million for the comparable period of 2021. The increase of $1.7 million was primarily due to increased costs associated with the clinical trial materials business as we expand capabilities, increased personnel costs primarily due to certain 2021 employment incentive tax credits that were not repeated in 2022 resulting in increased expense in 2022 and increased costs tied to the higher manufacturing revenue during the quarter.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $6.0 million, compared to $5.3 million recorded in the 2021 period. The increase of $0.7 million was primarily related to costs associated with the refinancing in the fourth quarter of 2022 offset by lower public company costs and administrative costs than the prior year.

Interest expense was $3.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, an increase compared to $3.5 million for the comparable period of 2021. The increase of $0.2 million was primarily due to an increase in the variable LIBOR component of interest on the company’s prior term loans. This increase was partially offset by decreases in capitalized interest and the extension of the maturity date of the company’s prior term loans, which deferred a portion of the non-cash amortization of financing expenses to future periods, resulting in lower non-cash interest in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to the fourth quarter of 2021.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, the company recorded a net loss of $9.2 million or $0.15 per diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $2.4 million or $0.04 per diluted share, for the comparable period of 2021. Net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 included refinancing costs, loss on extinguishment of debt and tax expense of $7.9 million, or $0.13 per diluted share. Historical EBITDA, as adjusted* for the period was $5.3 million compared to $3.2 million in the prior year period.


Financial Results for the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2022

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $90.2 million, compared to $75.4 million for 2021. The increase of $14.8 million in revenue was primarily driven by an increase in European Ritalin LA demand from the company’s new customer InfectoPharm, as well as an increase in revenue from the company’s largest commercial customer Teva, correlated with pull through in demand resulting from market share gains against the sole competitor for the Verapamil SR products. In addition, there were higher revenues from the company’s clinical trial materials business as well as a full year of revenue resulting from the acquisition of IriSys compared to approximately five months of revenue in 2021. The increase in revenue was partially offset by a decline in revenue from Lannett’s commercial sales of the Verapamil PM products.

Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $67.1 million, compared to $55.6 million in 2021. The cost of sales increase of $11.5 million was primarily due to the acquisition of the San Diego facility and certain 2021 employment incentive tax credits that were not repeated in 2022 resulting in increased expense in 2022. These increases were partially offset by the reallocation of expenses reflecting the post-acquisition organizational structure.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022 were $21.9 million, compared to $18.4 million in 2021. The increase of $3.5 million was primarily related to costs associated with the debt refinancing in the fourth quarter of 2022 and increased personnel costs tied to the reallocation of expenses. Specifically, effective October 1, 2021, certain employees who previously supported the company’s plant operations, now support the company’s multi-site organization structure and operations. Accordingly, expenses associated with these employees have been reclassified from cost of sales to selling, general and administrative expenses. These increases were offset by lower IriSys acquisition and integration costs.

Interest expense was $14.1 million and $15.1 million for the twelve months of 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease of $1.0 million was primarily due to the extension of the maturity date of the company’s prior term loans, which deferred a portion of the non-cash amortization of financing expenses to future periods and increased capitalized interest. These decreases were partially offset by a full period of interest on the debt portion of the IriSys acquisition purchase price and an increase in the variable LIBOR component of interest on prior term loans with Athyrium.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, Societal reported a net loss of $19.9 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $11.4 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, for 2021. Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2022 included refinancing costs, loss on extinguishment of debt and tax expense of $7.9 million, or $0.14 per diluted share. Historical EBITDA, as adjusted* for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $16.2 million compared to $16.6 million in the prior year period. During the twelve-month period, lower sales of Verapamil PM by Lannett, negatively impacted Historical EBITDA, as adjusted* by approximately $2.3 million as compared to the 2021 period.

At December 31, 2022, Societal had cash and cash equivalents of $15.0 million compared to $25.2 million as of the end of the prior fiscal year.


2023 Guidance

For the full year 2023, the company is projecting revenue of between $94 and $100 million and an EBITDA, as adjusted* of between $15 and $18 million.

* EBITDA, as adjusted and Historical EBITDA, as adjusted* are non-GAAP financial measures (see reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures at the end of this release).


Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Societal’s financial results determined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the company monitors certain non-GAAP information for the business, including EBITDA, as adjusted, and previously Historical EBITDA, as adjusted. The company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are helpful in understanding the business as they are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency of supplemental information used by management. These measures are used by investors, as well as management in assessing the company’s performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, reported GAAP results. Further, Non-GAAP financial measures, even if similarly titled, may not be calculated in the same manner by all companies, and therefore should not be compared. Please see the section of this press release titled “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures
(Unaudited)

To supplement the company’s financial results determined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the company has disclosed in the tables below the following non-GAAP information about EBITDA, as adjusted and Historical EBITDA, as adjusted.

EBITDA, as adjusted, is net income or loss as determined under GAAP excluding interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation, amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation, costs related to the acquisition and integration of IriSys, and costs related to the debt refinancing.

Historical EBITDA, as adjusted, is net income or loss as determined under GAAP excluding interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation, amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation, costs related to the acquisition and integration of IriSys, and costs related to the debt refinancing, as well as the impact of Accounting Standards Update 2014-09 in order to remove the impact of the timing of revenue recognized from profit-sharing arrangements upon transfer of control of the product, which more closely aligns revenue with expected cash receipt, and forgiveness of the COVID-19 relief note.

The company believes that non-GAAP financial measures are helpful in understanding its business as it is useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency of supplemental information used by management. EBITDA, as adjusted and Historical EBITDA, as adjusted, are used by investors, as well as management in assessing the company’s performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, reported GAAP results. Further, Non-GAAP financial measures, even if similarly titled, may not be calculated in the same manner by all companies, and therefore should not be compared.

Paratek Announces Inducement Grants under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(c)(4)

BOSTON, March 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Paratek Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: PRTK), a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of novel life-saving therapies for life-threatening diseases and other public health threats for civilian, government and military use, today announced that on February 28, 2023, the Company granted stock options and restricted stock units to four new employees of the Company. These awards were granted pursuant to the Paratek Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2017 Inducement Plan, as amended, which was approved by the Company’s board of directors on June 15, 2017, under Rule 5635(c)(4) of the NASDAQ Listing Rules, for equity grants to employees entering into employment or returning to employment after a bona fide period of non-employment with the Company, as an inducement material to such individuals entering into employment with the Company.

WESTMINSTER, Colo., March 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ZimVie Inc. (Nasdaq: ZIMV), a global life sciences leader in the dental and spine markets, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022. Management will host a corresponding conference call today, March 1, 2023, at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time.

“Our team has been diligently focused on accelerating independence from our prior parent, and despite a difficult macroenvironment, we launched several innovative products and drove significant operational progress in our first year as a company. We remain focused on innovating around our core platforms and driving adoption of our clinically differentiated solutions,” said Vafa Jamali, President and Chief Executive Officer of ZimVie.

Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Third party net sales for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $228.2 million, a decrease of (12.4%) on a reported basis and (9.1%) on a constant currency[1] basis, versus the fourth quarter of 2021. Third party dental segment net sales of $115.8 million decreased by ($9.6) million, or (7.6%) on a reported basis and (2.9%) on a constant currency[1] basis, driven by a general slowdown of customer purchases due to macroeconomic pressures and in anticipation of volume-based procurement (“VBP”) in China. Third party spine segment net sales of $112.3 million decreased by ($22.9) million, or (16.9%) on a reported basis and (14.8%) in constant currency[1], driven by the exit of a number of unprofitable markets in late 2021, the discontinuation of certain products and brands, a slowdown of customer purchases in China in anticipation of VBP, operational disruptions resulting from an ERP implementation, other IT systems projects, and continued competitive pressures in the spine market. Both segments were unfavorably impacted by one less selling day in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2022 was ($30.3) million, a decrease of $30.3 million versus the net loss of ($60.7) million in the fourth quarter of 2021, and as a percentage of third-party net sales was (13.3%). The decrease in net loss was primarily due to prior year brand rationalization charges that did not recur, lower inventory charges and lower SG&A costs due to lower variable selling costs on lower net sales as well as cost savings initiatives, partially offset by the net loss impact associated with the revenue declines noted above. Adjusted net income[1] for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $4.3 million, an increase of $13.6 million versus the same prior year period.

Basic and diluted EPS were ($1.16) and adjusted diluted EPS[1] was $0.16 for the fourth quarter of 2022. Weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted EPS was 26.1 million.

Adjusted EBITDA[1] for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $28.1 million, or 12.3%, a 70 basis point increase from the fourth quarter of 2021.

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the fourth quarter of 2022 were $89.6 million and reflect the advanced payment in 2022 of the 2023 required principal payments under our credit agreement.

Full Year 2022 Financial
Results

Third party net sales for the full year 2022 were $909.5 million, a decrease of (9.8%) on a reported basis and (6.8%) on a constant currency[1] basis, versus the full year 2021. Third party dental segment net sales of $459.7 million decreased by ($8.8) million, or (1.9%) on a reported basis but increased 2.6% on a constant currency[1] basis. Third party spine segment net sales of $449.8 million decreased by ($90.5) million, or (16.8%) on a reported basis and (14.9%) on a constant currency[1] basis, driven by the exit of a number of unprofitable markets in late 2021, the discontinuation of certain products and brands, the impact of the third party net sales retained by Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. (“Zimmer Biomet”) until we completed our separation activities in certain markets at the end of the third quarter of 2022, distributor bulk orders in the first quarter of 2021 that did not recur, the surge in COVID-19 cases in the first half of 2022 related to the Omicron variant, a slowdown of customer purchases in China in anticipation of VBP, operational disruptions resulting from an ERP implementation and other IT systems projects, continued competitive pressures in the spine market and changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Net loss for the full year 2022 was ($63.9) million, a decrease of $31.4 million versus the net loss of ($95.3) million in the full year 2021, and as a percentage of third-party net sales was (7.0%). The decrease in net loss was primarily due to prior year brand rationalization charges that did not recur, lower inventory charges and lower SG&A costs due to lower variable selling costs on lower net sales as well as cost savings initiatives, partially offset by the decline in spine third party net sales. Adjusted net income[1] for the full year 2022 was $47.9 million, an increase of $10.8 million versus the prior year.

Basic and diluted EPS were ($2.45) and adjusted diluted EPS[1] was $1.84 for the full year 2022. Weighted average shares outstanding for basic EPS and diluted EPS was 26.1 million.

Adjusted EBITDA[1] for the full year 2022 was $122.5 million, or 13.5% of third-party net sales, a decrease of ($9.1) million but an expansion of 50 basis points from 13.0% in 2021.

It is probable that this forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure may be materially different from the corresponding GAAP financial measure

Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures that differ from financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, other measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure provided in this release for certain periods, and is calculated by excluding certain items from net income (loss) on a GAAP basis, as detailed in the reconciliations presented later in this press release. Adjusted EBITDA margin is Adjusted EBITDA divided by third party net sales for the applicable period.

Sales change information in this release is presented on a GAAP (reported) basis and on a constant currency basis. Constant currency percentage changes exclude the effects of foreign currency exchange rates. They are calculated by translating current and prior-period sales at the same predetermined exchange rate. The translated results are then used to determine year-over-year percentage increases or decreases.

Net income (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share in this release are presented on a GAAP (reported) basis and on an adjusted basis. Adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted diluted earnings per share exclude the effects of certain items, which are detailed in the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures presented later in this press release.

Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in this press release.

Management uses non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate the performance of the business. Additionally, management believes these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful incremental information to investors to consider when evaluating the performance of the company. Management believes these measures offer the ability to make period-to-period comparisons that are not impacted by certain items that can cause dramatic changes in reported income but that do not impact the fundamentals of our operations. The non-GAAP measures enable the evaluation of operating results and trend analysis by allowing a reader to better identify operating trends that may otherwise be masked or distorted by these types of items that are excluded from the non-GAAP measures.

Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release also includes certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures for the year ending December 31, 2023. We calculate forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures based on internal forecasts that omit certain amounts that would be included in GAAP financial measures. We have not provided quantitative reconciliations of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures because the excluded items are not available on a prospective basis without unreasonable efforts. For example, the timing of certain transactions is difficult to predict because management’s plans may change. In addition, the company believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors. It is probable that these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures may be materially different from the corresponding GAAP financial measures.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws, including, among others, any statements about our expectations, plans, intentions, strategies, or prospects. We generally use the words “may,” “will,” “expects,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “estimates,” “projects,” “assumes,” “guides,” “targets,” “forecasts,” “sees,” “seeks,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predicts,” “potential,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “work toward,” “intends,” “guidance,” “confidence,” “positioned,” “design,” “strive,” “continue,” “track,” “look forward to” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical or current fact are, or may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Such statements are based upon the current beliefs, expectations, and assumptions of management and are subject to significant risks, uncertainties, and changes in circumstances that could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and changes in circumstances include, but are not limited to: the effects of the COVID-19 global pandemic and other adverse public health developments on the global economy, our business and operations and the business and operations of our suppliers and customers, including the deferral of elective procedures and our ability to collect accounts receivable; dependence on new product development, technological advances and innovation; shifts in the product category or regional sales mix of our products and services; supply and prices of raw materials and products; pricing pressures from competitors, customers, dental practices and insurance providers; changes in customer demand for our products and services caused by demographic changes or other factors; challenges relating to changes in and compliance with governmental laws and regulations affecting our U.S. and international businesses, including regulations of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and foreign government regulators, such as more stringent requirements for regulatory clearance of products; competition; the impact of healthcare reform measures; reductions in reimbursement levels by third-party payors; cost containment efforts sponsored by government agencies, legislative bodies, the private sector and healthcare group purchasing organizations, including the volume-based procurement process in China; control of costs and expenses; dependence on a limited number of suppliers for key raw materials and outsourced activities; the ability to obtain and maintain adequate intellectual property protection; breaches or failures of our information technology systems or products, including by cyberattack, unauthorized access or theft; the ability to retain the independent agents and distributors who market our products; our ability to attract, retain and develop the highly skilled employees we need to support our business; the effect of mergers and acquisitions on our relationships with customers, suppliers and lenders and on our operating results and businesses generally; a determination by the Internal Revenue Service that the distribution or certain related transactions should be treated as taxable transactions; financing transactions undertaken in connection with the separation and risks associated with additional indebtedness; the impact of the separation on our businesses and the risk that the separation and the results thereof may be more difficult, time-consuming and/or costly than expected, which could impact our relationships with customers, suppliers, employees and other business counterparties; restrictions on activities following the distribution in order to preserve the tax-free treatment of the distribution; the ability to form and implement alliances; changes in tax obligations arising from tax reform measures, including European Union rules on state aid, or examinations by tax authorities; product liability, intellectual property and commercial litigation losses; changes in general industry and market conditions, including domestic and international growth rates; changes in general domestic and international economic conditions, including inflation and interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations; and the impact of the ongoing financial and political uncertainty on countries in the Euro zone on the ability to collect accounts receivable in affected countries. You are cautioned not to rely on these forward-looking statements, since there can be no assurance that these forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we expressly disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

ClearPoint Neuro Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2022 Results

Company Reports Record Revenues

SOLANA BEACH, Calif., March 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ClearPoint Neuro, Inc. (Nasdaq: CLPT) (the “Company”), a global therapy-enabling platform company providing navigation and delivery to the brain, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2022.


2022 Full Year and Fourth Quarter Highlights

  • Reported fourth quarter 2022 revenue of $5.2 million, a 21% year-over-year increase compared with the fourth quarter of 2021;
  • Reported revenue of $20.6 million for the full year 2022, an increase of 26% over 2021 and representing the eighth consecutive year of growth;
  • Increased biologics and drug delivery revenue to $9.1 million for the full year 2022, a 34% increase over 2021;
  • Added multiple new biologics and drug delivery partners in the quarter to bring the total to more than 50; and
  • Cash and short-term investments totaled $37.5 million as of December 31, 2022.


Business Outlook

“We are pleased with our performance in 2022, growing revenue 26% year-over-year, achieving FDA clearance for key new products, adding services and capabilities to support our more than 50 biologics partners, and executing against all four pillars of our growth strategy,” commented Joe Burnett, President and CEO at ClearPoint Neuro. “We continue to expect growth of more than 20% in 2023, given the competitiveness of our laser system and the cadence of our pharma partners’ continuing progress through the global regulatory process for new gene and cell therapies. We are reiterating our 2023 revenue forecast of between $25 and $27 million.”


Financial Results – Year Ended December 31, 2022

Total revenue was $20.6 million and $16.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Functional neurosurgery navigation and therapy revenue increased to $9.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2022 from $8.1 million for the same period in 2021. This increase is primarily driven by $1.5 million of service revenue related to development services for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $0.4 million for the same period in 2021.

Biologics and drug delivery revenue, which include sales of disposable products and services related to customer-sponsored pre-clinical and clinical trials utilizing our products, increased 34% to $9.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, from $6.8 million for the same period in 2021. This increase is attributable to a $2.0 million increase in service and license revenue and $0.3 million increase in product revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022, due to expanded commitments from our current biologics and drug delivery partners as well as an increase in new partners.

Capital equipment and software revenue, consisting of sales of ClearPoint reusable hardware and software, and of related services, increased 61% to $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, from $1.4 million for the same period in 2021. This increase is due primarily to an increase in the placements of ClearPoint capital and software.

The Company achieved a gross margin of 66% on its sales for 2022, compared to a gross margin of 68% for 2021. This decrease in gross margin was due primarily to an increase in indirect labor costs in 2022 as compared to 2021 as well an increase in excess and obsolete inventory reserves.

Operating expenses were $29.9 million for the full year 2022, compared with $24.5 million for 2021. The increase was mainly driven by an increase in personnel-related expenses, including share-based compensation, as we increased headcount to fund the expansion of the research and development, clinical, and support organizations.


Financial Results – Quarter Ended December 31, 2022

Total revenue was $5.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, and $4.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, which represents an increase of $0.9 million, or 21%.

Functional neurosurgery navigation and therapy revenue increased 7% to $2.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, from $2.1 million for the same period in 2021. The growth was driven by higher service revenue.

Biologics and drug delivery revenue, which includes sales of disposable products and services related to customer-sponsored pre-clinical and clinical trials utilizing our products, increased 37% to $2.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, from $1.7 million for the same period in 2021. This increase is attributable to a $0.7 million increase in service revenue, partially offset by a slight decrease in product revenue.

Capital equipment and software revenue, consisting of sales of ClearPoint reusable hardware and software, and of related services, increased 25% to $0.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, from $0.5 million for the same period in 2021 due to an increase in the placements of ClearPoint capital and software.

Gross margin for the three months ended December 31, 2022, was 64%, as compared to a gross margin of 77% for the three months ended December 31, 2021. The decrease in gross margin was due primarily to higher overhead expenses and inventory reserves.

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $7.8 million, compared to $7.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase was mainly driven by the increase in headcount across the organization and share-based compensation.

At December 31, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments totaling $37.5 million compared to $54.1 million at December 31, 2021, with the decrease resulting primarily from the use of cash in operating activities of $16.2 million.

“Our fourth quarter performance was in line with our quarterly guidance ranges, and despite macro-related headwinds impacting consumer spending and ad budgets, we delivered double-digit year-over-year growth in 2022,” said Andy Christiansen, CFO of Cardlytics. “We know our success is dependent on executing with a disciplined approach, and I am confident that our strategy and priorities are positioning the company for liquidity, long-term growth, and profitability.”

These forward-looking statements are made as of the date they were first issued and were based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections as well as the beliefs and assumptions of management. Words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “should,” “believe,” “hope,” “target,” “project,” “goals,” “estimate,” “potential,” “predict,” “may,” “will,” “might,” “could,” “intend,” or variations of these terms or the negative of these terms and similar expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which involve factors or circumstances that are beyond our control.

Our actual results could differ materially from those stated or implied in forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including but not limited to: risks related to unfavorable conditions in the global economy and the industries that we serve; our quarterly operating results have fluctuated and may continue to vary from period to period; our ability to sustain our revenue growth and billings; risks related to the integration of Dosh, Bridg and Entertainment with our company; potential payments under the Merger Agreement with Bridg; risks related to our substantial dependence on our Cardlytics platform; risks related to our substantial dependence on JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (“Chase”), Bank of America, National Association (“Bank of America”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) and a limited number of other financial institution (“FI”) partners; risks related to our ability to maintain relationships with Chase, Wells Fargo and Bank of America; the amount and timing of budgets by marketers, which are affected by budget cycles, economic conditions and other factors, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic; our ability to generate sufficient revenue to offset contractual commitments to FIs; our ability to attract new partners, including FI partners, and maintain relationships with bank processors and digital banking providers; our ability to maintain relationships with marketers; our ability to adapt to changing market conditions, including our ability to adapt to changes in consumer habits, negotiate fee arrangements with new and existing partners and retailers, and develop and launch new services and features; and other risks detailed in the “Risk Factors” section of our Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 1, 2023 and in subsequent periodic reports that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. 

The forward-looking statements included in this press release represent our views as of the date of this press release. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our views to change. We undertake no intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release.

Non-GAAP Measures and Other Performance Metrics

To supplement the financial measures presented in our press release and related conference call or webcast in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we also present the following non-GAAP measures of financial performance: billings, adjusted contribution, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted Partner Share and other third party costs, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share as well as certain other performance metrics, such as monthly active users (“MAUs”), average revenue per user (“ARPU”) and annualized recurring revenue (“ARR”).

A “non-GAAP financial measure” refers to a numerical measure of our historical or future financial performance or financial position that is included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in our financial statements. We provide certain non-GAAP measures as additional information relating to our operating results as a complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial information presented herein should be considered in conjunction with, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a measure of liquidity. There are significant limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures. Further, these measures may differ from the non-GAAP information, even where similarly titled, used by other companies and therefore should not be used to compare our performance to that of other companies.We have presented billings, adjusted contribution, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted Partner Share and other third party costs, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share as non-GAAP financial measures in this press release. Billings represents the gross amount billed to customers and marketers for services in order to generate revenue. Cardlytics platform billings is recognized gross of both Consumer Incentives and Partner Share. Cardlytics platform GAAP revenue is recognized net of Consumer Incentives and gross of Partner Share. Bridg platform billings is the same as Bridg platform GAAP revenue. We define adjusted contribution as a measure by which revenue generated from our marketers exceeds the cost to obtain the purchase data and the digital advertising space from our partners. Adjusted contribution demonstrates how incremental revenue on our platforms generates incremental amounts to support our sales and marketing, research and development, general and administration and other investments. Adjusted contribution is calculated by taking our total revenue less our Partner Share and other third-party costs exclusive of deferred implementation costs, which is a non-cash cost. Adjusted contribution does not take into account all costs associated with generating revenue from advertising campaigns, including sales and marketing expenses, research and development expenses, general and administrative expenses and other expenses, which we do not take into consideration when making decisions on how to manage our advertising campaigns. We define adjusted EBITDA as our net loss before income tax benefit; interest expense, net; depreciation and amortization expense; stock-based compensation expense; foreign currency gain (loss); impairment of goodwill and intangible assets; deferred implementation costs; restructuring and reduction of force costs; acquisition and integration (benefits) costs; and change in fair value of contingent consideration. We define adjusted Partner Share and other third party Costs as our Partner Share and other third party costs excluding non-cash equity expense and amortization of deferred implementation costs. Notably, any impacts related to minimum Partner Share commitments in connection with agreements with certain FI partners are not added back to net loss in order to calculate adjusted EBITDA. We define non-GAAP net loss as our net loss before stock-based compensation expense; foreign currency (gain) loss; acquisition and integration costs (benefits); amortization of acquired intangibles; change in fair value of contingent consideration; impairment of goodwill and intangible assets; income tax benefit; and restructuring and reduction of force costs. We define non-GAAP net loss per share as non-GAAP net loss divided by our weighted-average common shares outstanding, diluted.

We believe the use of non-GAAP financial measures, as a supplement to GAAP measures, is useful to investors in that they eliminate items that are either not part of our core operations or do not require a cash outlay, such as stock-based compensation expense. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures when evaluating operating performance and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures help indicate underlying trends in the business, are important in comparing current results with prior period results, and are useful to investors and financial analysts in assessing operating performance.

We define MAUs as targetable customers or accounts that have logged in and visited online or mobile applications containing offers from, opened an email containing offers from, or redeemed an offer from the Cardlytics platform during a monthly period. We then calculate a monthly average of these MAUs for the periods presented. We define ARPU as the total revenue generated in the applicable period calculated in accordance with GAAP, divided by the average number of MAUs in the applicable period. We define ARR as the annualized GAAP revenue of the final month in the period presented for the Bridg platform. ARR should not be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, revenue prepared in accordance with GAAP. We believe that ARR is an indicator of the Bridg platform’s ability to generate future revenue from existing clients.
