(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Reports Continued Double-Digit Year-Over-Year Volume Growth for Surgical Franchise

Delivers Wound Care Center Volume Growth Both Sequentially and Year-Over-Year

Obtained Favorable Federal Court Ruling in AXIOFILL^® Regulatory Classification Matter During Quarter

Today Announced Patent License Agreement, Underscoring Strength of IP Portfolio

Management to Host Conference Call Today, October 28, 2026, at 4:30 PM ET

MARIETTA, Ga., Oct. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MiMedx Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: MDXG) (“MIMEDX” or the“Company”) today announced operating and financial results for the third quarter of 2026.

Joseph H. Capper, MIMEDX Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Our third quarter results reflect the progress we have made in reshaping MIMEDX into a Surgical-led company with a leaner cost structure that returned us to positive Adjusted EBITDA. Our Surgical franchise delivered mid-teens volume growth against a strong prior-year comparison and softer U.S. surgical procedure volumes. While a few discrete items dampened reported Surgical sales growth of 9% in the quarter, underlying demand remained strong across the portfolio, and Surgical now represents nearly two-thirds of our net sales."

Mr. Capper continued, "As the Wound Care market works through a sluggish reset, we are beginning to see the anticipated signs of adjustment, including patient migration into Wound Care Centers, where MIMEDX unit volume grew 7% sequentially in the quarter. We continue to believe the market will ultimately favor established manufacturers that have scale and prioritize investment in robust clinical research. With our cost actions from earlier this year now fully reflected in our run rate, we delivered a significant sequential improvement in our GAAP net loss and a return to positive Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter.

"We are working diligently with the FTC to obtain HSR clearance and look forward to completing the acquisition of Sanara MedTech. As we prepare for the combination of the two companies, our conviction in both the strategic rationale and the financial merits of this transaction remains strong," concluded Mr. Capper.

Third Quarter 2026 Results Discussion

Net Sales

MIMEDX reported net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2026 of $62 million, compared to $114 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of 45%. During the quarter, Surgical product sales increased 9% compared to the prior year period, led by sales of AMNIOFIX^®, AMNIOEFFECT^® and HELIOGEN^®. These results were offset by a year-over-year decrease in Wound sales of 71%, despite continued sequential growth of sales to Wound Care Centers. The performance of the Wound business in the quarter continues to be negatively impacted by several Medicare reimbursement changes that went into effect on January 1, 2026.

Gross Profit and Margin

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2026, was $50 million, compared to $95 million the prior year period. Gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2026 was 80%, compared to 84% in the prior year period and 69% last quarter. The year-over-year decline in gross margin was driven primarily by the Medicare reimbursement rules negatively impacting the prices of our Wound products along with unfavorable product mix. However, the sequential improvement in gross margin highlights management's efforts to remove costs from the business and implement manufacturing efficiencies.

Operating Expenses

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2026, were $58 million compared to $69 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in SG&A was driven primarily by lower expenses as a result of the cost reduction initiative announced in April as well as lower commissions on lower sales, partially offset by $6 million of incremental legal and strategic expenses associated with our ongoing litigation matters and other transaction costs incurred related to the proposed acquisition of Sanara.

Research and development ("R&D") expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, were $3 million and $4 million, respectively. R&D spend in the quarter reflects ongoing investments in the development of future products in our pipeline, including the costs associated with our two 510(k) submissions under review with the United States Food & Drug Administration, offset by the impact of our cost reduction initiative.

Net Income

Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2026 was $9 million compared to net income of $17 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of September 30, 2026, the Company had $121 million of cash and cash equivalents compared to $166 million as of December 31, 2025. Net cash increased $2 million compared to the second quarter 2026. During the quarter, the Company repaid the remaining $17 million term loan balance and ended the quarter with no debt outstanding.

Financial Outlook

For 2026, MIMEDX now expects 2026 net sales to be in a range of $250 to $260 million.

The Company expects Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter to be sequentially higher than the third quarter.

Longer-term, the Company continues to expect to achieve annual net sales growth in the low double-digits as a percentage with an adjusted EBITDA margin above 20%.

The Company has not provided a reconciliation of its forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin to the most directly comparable GAAP measures because it is unable to do so without unreasonable efforts. The Company cannot predict with reasonable certainty the timing or amount of items excluded from these measures, such as acquisition and transaction-related costs relating to the proposed Sanara acquisition, strategic legal and regulatory expenses, reorganization expenses, share-based compensation and income tax effects, which could be material to the Company's GAAP results.

AXIOFILL

During the quarter, the Company announced that the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia issued a favorable ruling in the Company's litigation challenging the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (“FDA”) regulatory classification of AXIOFILL, the Company's human placental-derived extracellular matrix particulate product.

The Court vacated FDA's determination that AXIOFILL is not a Section 361 HCT/P because it is more than minimally manipulated and FDA's determination that AXIOFILL should be classified as a biological product rather than a medical device. The Court remanded both matters to FDA for further consideration consistent with its order.

Patent License Agreement

The Company also announced today that it has entered into a license agreement with a wound care competitor that resolves allegations of infringement of MIMEDX's patents.

Under the agreement:

• The licensee will pay MIMEDX a total of $25 million in five equal installments of $5 million.
• The first installment has been received, and the four remaining installments will be paid annually on the anniversary of the signing date.
• MIMEDX has granted the licensee a non-exclusive license to the covered patents.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to our GAAP results, we provide certain non-GAAP measures including Adjusted EBITDA and related margins, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Earnings Per Share ("Adjusted EPS"). We believe that the presentation of these measures provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding our performance. These measures are not a substitute for GAAP measures. Company management uses these non-GAAP measures as aids in monitoring our ongoing financial performance from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year on a regular basis and for benchmarking against comparable companies.

These non-GAAP financial measures reflect the exclusion of the following items:

• Share-based compensation - expense recognized related to awards to employees and our board of directors issued pursuant to our share-based compensation plans. This expense is reflected amongst cost of sales, research and development expense, and selling, general, and administrative expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
• Amortization of acquired intangible assets - reflects amortization expense recognized solely related to assets which were acquired as part of a transaction. These expenses are generally reflected in cost of sales in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
• Acquisition and other transaction-related costs – reflects expenses incrementally incurred resulting from the consummation of material strategic transactions or the integration of acquired assets or operations into our core business. In the third quarter of 2026, this primarily reflected expenses relating to our proposed acquisition of Sanara. These expenses are generally reflected in selling, general and administrative expense and other expense, net in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
• Strategic legal and regulatory expenses - relates to litigation and regulatory expenses deemed strategically important to our operations. Litigation expenses primarily relate to legal fees incurred and relate to suits filed against former employees and their employers for violation of non-compete and non-solicitation agreements and certain patent infringement matters. Regulatory expenses relate to legal fees incurred stemming from action taken against the United States Food & Drug Administration ("FDA") surrounding the designation of one of our products. These expenses are generally reflected in selling, general and administrative expense in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
• Reorganization expense - expenses incurred toward the realignment of our operating strategy. These expenses relate to severance expenses related to certain executive leaders and other employment actions, including the implementation of our cost reduction initiative during the second quarter of 2026. These expenses are reflected as a component of cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expense, and research and development expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
• Strategic software implementation costs - incremental expenses incurred toward the implementation of software as a service arrangements which are not capitalizable under GAAP and are determined to be material to the Company's operations. These expenses are reflected in the caption of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations which is commensurate with the intended use of the software. For the quarter ended September 30, 2026, this is primarily cost of sales.
• Long-term effective income tax rate adjustment - for purposes of calculating Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share, reflects our expectation of a long-term effective tax rate, which is normalized and balance sheet-agnostic. Actual tax expense will be based on GAAP earnings, and may differ from the expected long-term effective tax rate due to a variety of factors, including the tax treatment of various transactions included in GAAP net income and other reconciling items that are excluded in determining Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS. The actual long-term normalized effective tax rate was 25% for each of the quarters ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.
  

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin

Adjusted EBITDA consists of GAAP net (loss) income excluding (i) strategic legal and regulatory expenses, (ii) acquisition and other transaction-related costs, (iii) share-based compensation expense, (iv) amortization of intangible assets, (v) depreciation expense, (vi) strategic software implementation costs, (vii) reorganization expense, (viii) interest income, net, and (ix) income tax provision (benefit).

Adjusted Net Income (Loss)

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) provides a view of our operating performance, exclusive of certain items which are non-recurring or not reflective of our core operations.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is defined as GAAP net (loss) income plus (i) strategic legal and regulatory expenses, (ii) acquisition and other transaction-related expenses, (iii) amortization of acquired intangible assets, (iv) strategic software implementation costs, (v) loss on extinguishment of debt, (vi) reorganization expense, and (vii) long-term effective income tax rate adjustment.

Adjusted Earnings Per Share

Adjusted Earnings Per Share is intended to provide a normalized view of earnings per share by removing items that may be irregular, one-time, or non-recurring from net income. This enables us to identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by such items. Adjusted Earnings Per Share consists of GAAP diluted net (loss) income per common share adjusted for (i) strategic legal and regulatory expenses, (ii) acquisition and other transaction-related expenses, (iii) amortization of acquired intangible assets, (iv) strategic software implementation costs, (v) loss on extinguishment of debt, (vi) reorganization expense, and (vii) long-term effective income tax rate adjustment.

Free Cash Flow

Free Cash Flow is intended to provide a measure of our ability to generate cash in excess of capital investments. It provides management with a view of cash flows which can be used to finance operational and strategic investments.

Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, including purchases of equipment.
