Paragon 28 Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Financial Results

and Provides 2024 Net Revenue Guidance

ENGLEWOOD, CO., February 29, 2024 – Paragon 28, Inc. (NYSE: FNA) (“Paragon 28” or “Company”), a leading medical device company exclusively focused on the foot and ankle orthopedic market, today reported financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2023 and provided 2024 Net Revenue guidance.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Financial Results

 

  •  

Consolidated net revenue for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $60.6 million, representing 17.6% and 17.3% reported and constant currency growth, respectively, compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. Consolidated net revenue for the full year 2023 was $216.4 million, representing 19.3% and 19.7% reported and constant currency growth, respectively, compared to the full year 2022.

 

  •  

U.S. net revenue for the fourth quarter and full year 2023 was $51.7 million and $183.5 million, respectively, representing 14.1% and 16.1% reported growth, respectively, compared to the prior year periods.

 

  •  

International net revenue for the fourth quarter and full year 2023 was $8.9 million and $32.9 million, respectively, representing 43.1% and 41.3% reported growth, respectively, and 40.7% and 44.1% constant currency growth, respectively, compared to the prior year periods.

 

  •  

Gross profit margin was 74.5% for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to 81.5% in the fourth quarter of 2022. Gross profit margin was 79.9% for the full year 2023, compared to 82.1% for the full year 2022. Related to the recent inventory stockpiling, during the fourth quarter of 2023 the Company recorded inventory write-downs totaling $4.0 million which reduced fourth quarter and full year 2023 gross profit margins by 6.6 and 1.8 percentage points, respectively.

 

  •  

Research and development expenses and selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by 10.5% to $56.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $51.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase was driven by additional investments in new product development and selling and marketing initiatives. Research and development expenses and selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by 14.2% to $210.1 million for the full year 2023, compared to $184.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase was driven by further investments in new product development, selling and marketing initiatives, as well as investments in corporate and operations infrastructure.

 

  •  

Net loss was $19.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to a net loss of $38.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. Net loss was $47.8 million for the full year 2023, compared to a net loss of $67.3 million for the full year 2022.

 

  •  

Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2023, negatively impacted by the $4.0 million of inventory write downs, was a $4.4 million loss compared to a $1.5 million loss in the fourth quarter of 2022. Adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2023, negatively impacted by the $4.0 million of inventory write downs during the fourth quarter 2023, was a $9.7 million loss compared to a $10.7 million loss for the full year 2022.

“Our team ended the year with solid performances across each foot and ankle segment both in the U.S. and International markets.” said Albert DaCosta, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Turning to 2024, we are incredibly excited to launch several new and high-impact solutions to start the year. Our continued growth is proof of our ability to address unmet needs in the foot and ankle market by committing to innovation and improving patient outcomes.”

2024 Net Revenue Guidance

The Company expects 2024 net revenue to be $249 million to $259 million, representing 15.1% and 19.7% reported growth compared to 2023.

The Company’s 2024 net revenue guidance assumes foreign currency translation rates remain consistent with current foreign currency translation rates.

Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters set forth in this press release are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, but not limited to: Paragon 28’s potential to shape a better future for foot and ankle patients and its estimated net revenue for full year 2024. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are only predictions based on our current expectations, estimates, and assumptions, valid only as of the date they are made, and subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which we are not currently aware. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and may not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by, which such performance or results will be achieved. These forward-looking statements are based on Paragon 28’s current expectations and inherently involve significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of these risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties are described more fully in the section titled “Risk Factors” in Paragon 28’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including Paragon 28’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 29, 2024.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Their Limitations

In addition to our results and measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP presented in this press release, we believe that certain non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating and comparing our financial and operational performance over multiple periods, identifying trends affecting our business, formulating business plans and making strategic decisions.

Adjusted EBITDA is a key performance measure that our management uses to assess our financial performance and is also used for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, employee stock purchase plan expense, non-recurring expenses and certain other non-cash expenses.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, together with a reconciliation to net income, helps identify underlying trends in our business and helps investors make comparisons between our company and other companies that may have different capital structures, tax rates, or different forms of employee compensation. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allowing for greater transparency with respect to a key financial metric used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making. Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these potential limitations include:

 

  •  

other companies, including companies in our industry which have similar business arrangements, may report Adjusted EBITDA, or similarly titled measures but calculate them differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures;

 

  •  

although depreciation and amortization expenses are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditures for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;

 

  •  

Adjusted EBITDA also does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs or the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation; and

 

  •  

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt that we may incur.

Additionally, we report revenue growth on a constant-currency basis in order to facilitate period-to-period comparisons of results without regard to the impact of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. The term foreign currency exchange rates refers to the exchange rates used to translate the company’s operating results for all countries where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar into U.S. dollars. Because we are a global company, foreign currency exchange rates used for translation may have a significant effect on our reported results. References to revenue growth on a constant-currency basis means without the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

The company believes disclosure of constant-currency revenue growth rates is helpful to investors because it facilitates period-to-period comparisons. However, constant-currency revenue growth rates are non-GAAP financial measures and are not meant to be considered as an alternative or substitute for comparable measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Constant-currency growth has no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. We calculate constant-currency growth rates by translating local currency amounts in the current period at actual foreign exchange rates for the prior period.

Because of these and other limitations, you should consider our non-GAAP measures only as supplemental to other GAAP-based financial measures.

Forward Looking Statements Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters set forth in this presentation are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, but not limited to: Paragon 28’s potential to shape a better future for foot and ankle patients and its estimated net revenue for full year 2024. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are only predictions based on our current expectations, estimates, and assumptions, valid only as of the date they are made, and subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which we are not currently aware. Forward‐looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and may not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by, which such performance or results will be achieved. These forward‐looking statements are based on Paragon 28’s current expectations and inherently involve significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward‐looking statements as a result of these risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties are described more fully in the section titled “Risk Factors” in Paragon 28’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including Paragon 28’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 29, 2024. Paragon 28 does not undertake any obligation to update forward‐looking statements and expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward‐looking statements contained herein. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Paragon 28’s views as of any date subsequent to the date of this presentation. Paragon 28’s results for the quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of our operating results for any future periods. 2

Slide 3

Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to our results and measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP presented in this press release, we believe that certain non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating and comparing our financial and operational performance over multiple periods, identifying trends affecting our business, formulating business plans and making strategic decisions.   Adjusted EBITDA is a key performance measure that our management uses to assess our financial performance and is also used for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, employee stock purchase plan expense, non-recurring expenses and certain other non-cash expenses.   We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, together with a reconciliation to net income, helps identify underlying trends in our business and helps investors make comparisons between our company and other companies that may have different capital structures, tax rates, or different forms of employee compensation. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allowing for greater transparency with respect to a key financial metric used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making. Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these potential limitations include: other companies, including companies in our industry which have similar business arrangements, may report Adjusted EBITDA, or similarly titled measures but calculate them differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures; although depreciation and amortization expenses are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditures for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements; Adjusted EBITDA also does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs or the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation; and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt that we may incur.   Additionally, we report revenue growth on a constant-currency basis in order to facilitate period-to-period comparisons of results without regard to the impact of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. The term foreign currency exchange rates refers to the exchange rates used to translate the company's operating results for all countries where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar into U.S. dollars. Because we are a global company, foreign currency exchange rates used for translation may have a significant effect on our reported results. References to revenue growth on a constant-currency basis means without the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.   The company believes disclosure of constant-currency revenue growth rates is helpful to investors because it facilitates period-to-period comparisons. However, constant-currency revenue growth rates are non-GAAP financial measures and are not meant to be considered as an alternative or substitute for comparable measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Constant-currency growth has no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. We calculate constant-currency growth rates by translating local currency amounts in the current period at actual foreign exchange rates for the prior period.   Because of these and other limitations, you should consider our non-GAAP measures only as supplemental to other GAAP-based financial measures.
