LEWISVILLE, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Orthofix Medical Inc. (NASDAQ:OFIX) today reported its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. Net sales were $118.1 million, earnings per share (“EPS”) was $0.12, and adjusted EPS was $0.08.
“We’re pleased with our execution in the second quarter, which was led by double digit growth in our global orthopedic business as well as early commercial traction of new spine products. In addition, we made significant progress on our innovation initiatives, highlighted by the successful launches of the AccelStim™ Bone Healing Therapy and Virtuos Lyograft, as well as our recent partnerships with LimaCorporate and CGBio,” said Orthofix President and Chief Executive Officer Jon Serbousek. “We had solid operational execution, despite the challenges that macro headwinds continue to present, including continued hospital staffing shortages, complex spine procedure softness, and patients deferring care due to economic pressures. In addition, currency fluctuations during the quarter dampened reported revenue results.”
Continued Serbousek, “We remain incredibly bullish on the long-term opportunity here at Orthofix. While the macro environment is causing near-term volatility, we are fully committed to driving accelerated topline growth in the high single digits and continuing to execute towards increasing profitability. With the strength of our balance sheet as well as organic and inorganic investments made throughout the organization, we will work to continue to drive growth over the near term from key new product launches and channel expansion.”

CGBio Exclusive Recombinant Bone Growth Protein Partnership
On August 2, 2022, we announced our new long-term strategic license and distribution agreement with CGBio, a developer of innovative, synthetic bone grafts currently approved and commercially available in South Korea, Southeast Asia, Mexico, and India. The agreement grants us the exclusive right to conduct pre-clinical and clinical studies, commercialize, promote, market, and sell the Novosis (rhBMP-2) recombinant bone growth protein in the U.S. and Canada. Novosis is a novel composite bone graft material that is flowable and provides moldable handling characteristics that are unique compared to what is currently on the market in the U.S. and Canada and represents the next evolution of bone growth factor technology.
Business Outlook
As of the date hereof, the Company expects the following net sales results for the year ended December 31, 2022. These expectations are based on the current foreign currency exchange rates and do not include any additional exchange rate changes that may occur this year.
The Company is not able to provide expectations of operating income or GAAP EPS, the closest comparable U.S. GAAP measures to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS, respectively (each of which are non-GAAP measures), on a forward-looking basis because the Company is unable to predict without unreasonable efforts the ultimate outcome of matters (including legal proceedings, acquisition-related expenses, accounting fair value adjustments, and other such items) that will determine the quantitative amount of the items excluded from the applicable non-GAAP measure, which items are further described in the reconciliation tables and related descriptions below. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to the Company’s results computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
