We are pleased that we are starting to see the benefits of the recent facility consolidation efforts and cost reduction initiatives. At the same time, our sales results are below our potential. We are working on plans that are expected to improve sales through a combination of new products, marketing programs, and more effective channel management.”
Third Quarter 2018 Financial Results
Revenue for the third quarter of 2018 was $17.3 million, compared to $19.8 million in the same period last year. This decrease occurred primarily due to company-initiated discontinued distributor arrangements and channel management challenges.
Gross profit for the third quarter of 2018 was 66.7%, up from 57.5% for the same period in 2017. This improvement is largely due to expenses for inventory reserves and impairment of surgical instrument asset values in the third quarter of 2017 that did not recur in 2018, and favorable impacts from cost reduction initiatives.
Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2018 were $13.0 million, a decrease of $3.1 million compared to $16.1 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2017. The reduction is primarily due to lower commission expense as a result of lower revenue due to discontinued distributor arrangements and channel management challenges. In addition, the Company continued to execute its cost reduction initiatives to consolidate facilities used for biologics and fixation systems operations.
Net loss from operations for the third quarter of 2018 was $3.2 million, or $0.24 per share, compared to a net loss of $8.5 million, or $5.62 per share, for the same period in the prior year, primarily the result of the reduced operating expenses and lower interest expense, and in the case of the net share decrease, increased shares outstanding during the current year period.
Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2018 was $1.5 million compared to $1.4 million for the same period during 2017. Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 was $3.4 million, compared to a loss of $0.8 million in the same period in the prior year. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income/loss from operations before depreciation, amortization and interest expense, and as further adjusted to add back in or exclude, as applicable, non-cash compensation, change in warrant derivative liability, separation related expenses, litigation reserve, facility consolidation costs and restructuring expenses. A calculation and reconciliation of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to net loss can be found in the attached financial tables.
Amendments to Credit Facility and Issuance of Warrants
On September 17, 2018, the Company announced the execution of 24th and 25th amendments to its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which, among other provisions, reduced interest payable under the credit facility. In connection with the 25th amendment, the Company issued warrants for the purchase of 1.2 million shares of Xtant common stock with an exercise price of $0.01 per share and an expiration date of August 1, 2028, to OrbiMed Royalty Opportunities II, LP and ROS Acquisition Offshore LP, which collectively own approximately 70% of Xtant’s outstanding common stock and are the sole holders of the Company’s outstanding long-term debt under the credit facility.
