08/12/14
Second Quarter 2014 Revenues Increase Approximately 7.5% Over Second Quarter 2013

BELGRADE, Mont., Aug. 12, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bacterin International Holdings, Inc. (NYSE MKT:BONE), a leader in the development of bone graft material and coatings for medical applications, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014. The Company reported quarterly revenues of approximately $8.9 million, and a net loss for the quarter of approximately ($1.9) million, or ($0.35) per common share.

Revenue

Second quarter 2014 revenue was approximately $8.9 million, an increase of 7.5% compared to approximately $8.3 million for the same period during 2013. Sequentially, revenues were flat with approximately $8.9 million in revenues also reported for the first quarter of 2014.

"During the second quarter, we continued restructuring our sales organization. Melanie Head joined us as Vice President of Sales on May 1, 2014, and Bob DiSilvio joined us as President on July 1, 2014. These new executives have taken steps to further enhance our sales organization," says Bacterin CEO, Dan Goldberger. "I am looking forward to continued revenue growth in the second half of the year as our new team takes hold."

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the second quarter 2014 was $5.6 million or 63% of revenues, compared to $4.7 million or 57% of revenues for the second quarter 2013. The increase was the result of improved processes between the two periods. Sequentially, gross profit increased slightly from $5.5 million in the first quarter to $5.6 million in the second quarter of 2014. Gross margin in those quarters increased from 62% to 63%, respectively.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Second quarter 2014 sales and marketing expenses increased 4.8% to $4.4 million, as compared to $4.2 million during the same period in 2013. For the quarter, sales and marketing as a percentage of revenues decreased to 50%, compared to 51% in 2013, as a result of increased efficiency within the sales organization. On a sequential basis, sales and marketing expense increased from $4.1 million in the first quarter to $4.4 million in the second quarter. This increase is due to the hiring of a Vice President of Sales and restructuring of the sales team.

Mr. Goldberger continued, "Through the second quarter, we brought exciting new leadership to our sales function. As new members are integrated into our field sales force, we expect revenue growth to accelerate. Going forward, we expect to continue to add productive employees and distributors in order to drive profitable revenue growth."

General and Administrative Expenses

Second quarter 2014 general and administrative expenses remained relatively flat year over year at $2.1 million. Sequentially, general and administrative expenses decreased approximately 9% from $2.3 million in the first quarter of 2014.

Research and Development Expenses

The Company reported second quarter 2014 research and development expenses of approximately $322,000, an increase from $255,000 reported in the first quarter of this year. Second quarter research and development expenses increased 89% from the same period in 2013 due to increased activity on the company's hMatrix product family and investment in product line extensions to our catalogue of demineralized bone products.

Loss from Operations

The second quarter 2014 loss from operations was approximately ($1.3) million, a decrease of approximately 29% over second quarter 2013 operating losses of ($1.9) million.

EBITDA

The Company defines earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") as net income/loss from operations before depreciation, amortization and non-cash stock-based compensation. EBITDA for the second quarter of 2014 was a loss of approximately ($770,000), a significant decrease over the second quarter of 2013 EBITDA loss of ($1.4) million. On a sequential basis, this compares to a first quarter 2014 EBITDA loss of approximately ($715,000).

Financial Liquidity

Cash, cash equivalents and net accounts receivable were $7.9 million as of June 30, 2014 compared to $10.3 million at March 31, 2014. On August 6, 2014, the Company announced that it issued 1,143,000 shares of its common stock in a public offering at a price per share of $5.70 as well as warrants to purchase 571,500 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $7.12 per share. Gross proceeds from the transaction were approximately $6.5 million. Net proceeds, after deducting investment banking fees and offering expenses, were approximately $5.8 million and will be utilized to enhance the company's sales force and increase inventory levels to support expected future growth.

On July 28, 2014 the company completed a 1:10 reverse stock split, which reduced the number of Bacterin's outstanding common shares from approximately 55 million to approximately 5.5 million after the reverse split. After the company's public offering, total common shares outstanding were approximately 6.6 million.

Mr. Goldberger further commented, "We have recently taken a number of steps to ensure the sustainability of our business. Now that we have removed some of these overhangs, we can focus on the operations of the company."

About the Presentation of EBITDA

EBITDA is not a financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other financial measures so calculated and presented, nor as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. The company defines EBITDA as net income/(loss) from operations before depreciation, amortization and non-cash stock-based compensation. Other companies (including competitors) may define EBITDA differently. The company presents EBITDA because management believes it to be an important supplemental measure of performance that is commonly used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Management also uses this information internally for forecasting and budgeting. It may not be indicative of the historical operating results of Bacterin nor is it intended to be predictive of potential future results. Investors should not consider EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the company's results as reported under GAAP.
