Simultaneously, we are actively transforming AVITA Medical into a broad wound care business by expanding our portfolio to address the full spectrum of clinical needs. We are confident that our strategic initiatives to transform our business will enhance accessibility and reach more patients."

Future Milestones

• Expect to submit both our post-market study (TONE) treating patients with stable vitiligo, and separate health economics study for publication by year-end

Financial Guidance

• Commercial revenue for the second quarter 2024 is expected to be in the range of $14.3 to $15.3 million
• Commercial revenue for the full-year 2024 is expected to be in the lower end of our previously provided guidance range of $78.5 to $84.5 million, reflecting growth of approximately 57% at the lower end of the range over the full-year 2023
• Expect to achieve previously given guidance of cashflow break even and GAAP profitability no later than the third quarter of 2025

"We acknowledge the significant cash utilization this quarter, however we remain confident in our financial stability and our ability to reach cashflow break even as guided," said David O'Toole, Chief Financial Officer of AVITA Medical. "It's important to note that the cash use was driven by several non-recurring items, including expenses incurred related to our distribution agreement with Stedical, totaling approximately $4.0 million for inventory purchases and other costs. Of this amount, approximately $3.1 million represents inventory that we will recover through future product sales, with gross sales in the range of $6 million."

First Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Our commercial revenue, which excludes Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) revenue, increased by approximately 5.8% to $11.1 million in the three-months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $10.5 million in the same period in 2023.

Gross profit margin was 86.4% compared to 84.2% in the corresponding period in the prior year.

Total operating expenses for the quarter were $26.8 million, compared to $19.4 million in the same period in 2023. The increase in operating expenses is primarily attributable to an increase of $6.1 million in sales and marketing expenses due to employee-related costs, including salaries and benefits, commissions, professional fees, and travel expenses, collectively, as a result of the expansion of our commercial organization to support our growing commercial operations in the second quarter of 2023. G&A expenses increased by $0.7 million as a result of higher salaries and benefits, partially offset by lower stock-based compensation. In addition, the increase in operating expenses included an increase of $0.6 million in R&D costs, which was primarily due to employee compensation costs of the team of Medical Science Liaisons.

Other income/expense, net increased by $0.8 million of expense, compared to the same period in 2023, as we recognized $0.4 million and $0.9 million in expense for non-cash charges due to the change in fair value of the debt and the warrant liability, respectively. These expenses were offset by an increase of approximately $0.5 million in income related to our investment activities and other income.

Net loss was $18.7 million, or a loss of $0.73 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $9.2 million, or a loss of $0.37 per basic and diluted share, in the same period in 2023.

BARDA income consisted of funding from the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, under the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, under ongoing USG Contract No. HHSO100201500028C.
