  • Drove operating cost leverage, with a $3 million sequential improvement in adjusted EBITDA;
  • Signed term sheet for a $50 million revolver with $25 million accordion feature.

“By focusing on the entire surgical procedure and investing to obviate clinical variability, we are bringing increased predictability and reproducibility to spine surgery and fueling sector-leading growth,” said Pat Miles, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “That growth has enabled us to begin to lever sales channel investments while expanding our geographic footprint. At our Investor Day in May, we shared a long-term financial outlook that included a 23% revenue CAGR toward $555 million in 2025 and positive adjusted EBITDA in 2023. We are executing against those commitments and I am confident that years of sustainable growth and scale lie ahead.”

Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement the Company’s financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP), the Company reports certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating loss, and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with an additional tool for evaluating the Company's core performance, which management uses in its own evaluation of continuing operating performance, and a baseline for assessing the future earnings potential of the Company. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in the Company’s industry, as other companies in the industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently, particularly related to non-recurring, unusual items. Non-GAAP financial results should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Included below are reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures.
