Capitalization Update
In October, OrthoPediatrics completed its initial public offering of 4,600,000 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $13.00 per share, raising $59.8 million in gross proceeds, before underwriting expenses and commissions and offering expenses.

On November 8, 2017, the Company signed a Letter of Intent to amend its current debt agreement with its largest shareholder, Squadron Capital LLC (“Squadron”), to modify and extend the terms of its existing term notes and revolving credit facility. The Letter of Intent consolidates a majority of the term note amounts into a $20.0 million term loan and reestablishes a $15.0 million revolver. Both facilities will have an interest rate equal to the three month LIBOR plus 8.61%, which in total equals 10.0%, compared to a previous interest rate of 10.0% for the term notes and 11.0% for the revolving credit facility. The Letter of Intent extends the loan period through January 31, 2023 (previously May 31, 2019 or May 31, 2020 based on revenue). As of September 30, 2017, the Company had approximately $27.6 million in total outstanding indebtedness, including $7.5 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility, of which the Company expects to convert $1.6 million to term notes plus pay back $2.5 million in the near term, leaving over $11.0 million in available capacity.

Fred Hite, Chief Financial Officer of OrthoPediatrics, commented, “We are pleased to have signed a Letter of Intent to amend our loan agreement with Squadron, which will provide for a more favorable interest rate and extend the length of the agreement. It demonstrates Squadron’s commitment and confidence in our business and its long-term dedication to supporting the Company.”

By Peter Hall of The Morning Call / November 7, 2017

Medical device maker B. Braun concealed from regulators problems with its line of ceramic-coated artificial knees and promoted the products to surgeons despite knowing they were prone to fail, a lawsuit filed in a California court alleges.

The Bethlehem-based company’s Aesculap Implant Systems subsidiary marketed the “advanced surface” ceramic coated knees as superior to standard bare metal implants, claiming they would last longer, the lawsuit says. But the ceramic joints were defective, the suit alleges, because they didn’t adhere properly to cement used to bond them with the patients’ bones.

As a result, the 25 knee replacement patients who are suing B. Braun and Aesculap in a California court were or will be required to undergo additional surgeries to correct problems with the joints or implant different devices, the suit says.

A spokesman for B. Braun, a German company with U.S. headquarters in Bethlehem, did not respond to messages Tuesday.

The lawsuit was filed last month in Los Angeles Superior Court by attorneys Christopher K. Johnston of Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, and Anthony Buzbee of Houston on behalf of the patients, who are from Louisiana, Florida and 10 other states.

According to the lawsuit, Aesculap sought and received permission from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to sell its advanced surface replacement knees by demonstrating that the devices were as safe and effective as devices that had already been approved. The process is less rigorous than the FDA’s standard medical device approval process, the suit says.

FARMINGDALE, N.Y., Nov. 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Misonix, Inc. (Nasdaq: MSON), a provider of minimally invasive therapeutic ultrasonic medical devices that enhance clinical outcomes, announced today financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, ended September 30, 2017.

Financial Highlights for the First Quarter:

Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 was $7.3 million, an increase of 18% compared with $6.2 million in the previous year’s first quarter.
Consumables sales in the United States increased 25% to $4.1 million in the first quarter of the new fiscal year compared to $3.3 million in the comparable quarter of fiscal 2017.
The gross profit percentage for the quarter was 70.1% primarily from a strong mix of higher margin consumables, compared to 69.0% in last year’s first quarter.
For the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, the Company reported a net loss of $(1.2) million, or $(0.14) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(0.5) million, or $(0.07) per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017.
At September 30, 2017, the Company maintained cash of $10.5 million with no long-term debt.

Stavros Vizirgianakis, President and Chief Executive Officer of Misonix, said, “Sales orders continued to be strong in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, with double-digit revenue growth, picking up where we left off in fiscal 2017. Total revenue increased 18% in the first quarter of the new year primarily attributable to a 25% increase in domestic consumables sales. A significant contribution to the increase in domestic sales was made by the addition of new clinical sales specialists to support the sales activities of our distribution channel. The channel, coupled with our team of 28 clinical sales specialists, was successful in driving a 35% increase in BoneScalpel revenue in the U.S. over the prior year. We are making steady progress with the surgical community, and the hospitals where they practice, to further embed our technology in their respective surgical suites.”

“At the recent 32^nd Annual Meeting of the North American Spine Society,” Mr. Vizirgianakis continued, “Dr. Wade Jensenof the Center for Neurosciences, Orthopaedics & Spine (“CNOS”) presented data showing a significant reduction in the use of bone grafting material when the Misonix BoneScalpel is employed compared to the use of standard power drill instruments. An estimated $1.9 billion is spent annually on bone graft substitutes. This is valuable data as we are able to show that our products contribute significant value to the overall healthcare system by reducing costs in spinal fusion procedures.”

The Company also recently entered into its most significant license, royalty and manufacturing agreement with Hunan Xing Hang Rui Kang Bio-Technologies Co., Ltd., a Chinese corporation, where Misonix will receive at least $11 million in revenue and royalties over the next four years, and further strengthen its balance sheet.

Conference Call
The Company has scheduled a conference call for Tuesday, November 7, 2017, at 4:30 pm ET to review the results.

Interested parties can access the conference call by dialing (844) 861-5497 or (412) 317-6579 or can listen via a live Internet webcast, which is available in the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website at www.misonix.com.

November 07, 2017

CAESAREA, Israel–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Mazor Robotics Ltd. (TASE: MZOR; NASDAQGM: MZOR), a pioneer and a leader in the field of robotic guidance systems, reported record third quarter revenue of $17.2 million. As previously announced, the Company received purchase orders for 22 systems in the 2017 third quarter, including 19 Mazor X systems.

Recent Significant Highlights

Entered the next phase of its strategic partnership with Medtronic assuming exclusive worldwide distribution of the Mazor X system, and Medtronic making a $40 million third tranche investment in Mazor. On November 1, Mazor and Medtronic completed the transfer of Mazor X capital sales, clinical sales and support activities to Medtronic and the absorption of 29 former Mazor employees into the Medtronic robotic sales team.
Received CE approval of the Mazor X system, allowing Medtronic to market the Mazor X in the European Union, as well as other countries that recognize the CE Mark.
Interim data from the first multi-center prospective study of spinal surgical robotics was presented at the North American Spine Society (NASS) annual meeting, demonstrating that spinal surgeries performed using Mazor Robotics’ proprietary Mazor Core™ technology have a five-fold reduction in surgical complications and a seven-fold reduction in revision surgeries, compared to freehand-based minimally invasive lumbar fusion surgeries.

“We delivered record quarterly revenue and more than doubled last year’s Q3 results,” commented Ori Hadomi, Chief Executive Officer. “Our performance demonstrates that we are executing our objectives to drive market penetration and increased utilization of our systems. We entered the next phase with Medtronic, our commercial partner, for the Mazor X system and the smooth transition ensures continued sales momentum while significantly lowering our operating costs beginning Q4 2017. In addition to the operational achievements, the recent prospective data results that were presented at NASS are a game changer for Mazor as it validates the strength of our proprietary Mazor Core ™ technology and reinforces the patient value and economic proposition of our systems.”

THIRD QUARTER 2017 FINANCIAL RESULTS ON IFRS BASIS (“GAAP”)

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased 126% to $17.2 million compared to $7.6 million in the year-ago third quarter. U.S. revenue increased 170% to $15.4 million compared to $5.7 million in the year-ago third quarter, as the Company recognized revenue from 17 systems (16 Mazor X and one Renaissance) compared to six systems (three Mazor X and three Renaissance) in the third quarter of 2016. International revenue was $1.8 million compared to $1.9 million in the year-ago third quarter. Recurring revenue from kits sales, services and other increased 63% to $7.0 million in the third quarter of 2017 compared to $4.3 million in the year-ago third quarter, which is primarily attributed to the higher system installed base. The Company ended the quarter with a backlog of 17 systems (15 Mazor X and two Renaissance). As of September 18, 2017, Medtronic assumed exclusive worldwide distribution of the Mazor X under the Exclusive Lead Sharing and Distribution Agreement signed between the parties. The contracted pricing with Medtronic is at a lower rate than Mazor realized through its direct sales channel.

The Company’s gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was 69.2% compared to 65.7% in the year-ago third quarter. Total operating expenses were $15.7 million compared to $10.6 million in the year-ago third quarter primarily reflecting the Company’s increased investment in sales and marketing activities. The Company’s sales and marketing expenses are now expected to decrease as Medtronic assumed commercial responsibility for the Mazor X, effective September 18, 2017. Operating loss was $3.8 million compared to an operating loss of $5.6 million in the year-ago third quarter. Net loss for the third quarter of 2017 was $3.7 million, or $0.07 per share, compared to a net loss of $5.2 million, or $0.11 per share, for the year-ago third quarter.

Cash used in operating activities during the 2017 third quarter was $2.9 million compared to $4.6 million used in operating activities in the year-ago third quarter. The lower cash use is due to the significantly higher revenue in the 2017 third quarter. As of September 30, 2017, cash, cash equivalents and investments totaled $98.8 million.

THIRD QUARTER 2017 FINANCIAL RESULTS ON NON-GAAP BASIS

The tables below include reconciliation of the Company’s GAAP results to non-GAAP results. The reconciliation relates to non-cash expenses in the amount of $2.6 million with respect to share-based payments and amortization of intangible assets recorded in the third quarter of 2017. On a non-GAAP basis, the net loss in the third quarter of 2017 was $1.0 million, or $0.02 per share, compared to $4.9 million, or $0.11 per share, for the year-ago third quarter.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017 FINANCIAL RESULTS ON IFRS BASIS (“GAAP”)

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, revenue increased 99% and totaled $44.4 million compared to $22.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, due to higher system sales and an increase in recurring revenue. Recurring revenue totaled $18.5 million, an increase of 50% compared to $12.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The growth in recurring revenue is attributed to the increase in the installed base and high utilization of the Company’s robotic guidance systems, both in the U.S. and globally. Gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was 68.0% compared with 72.3% in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This expected decrease is attributed mainly to the higher manufacturing costs of the Mazor X compared to the Renaissance system. Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $12.6 million, or $0.26 per share, compared to a net loss of $14.4 million, or $0.33 per share, in the first nine months of 2016.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017 FINANCIAL RESULTS ON NON-GAAP BASIS

On a non-GAAP basis, the net loss for the first nine months of 2017 was $7.3 million, or $0.15 per share, compared to a net loss of $12.9 million, or $0.29 per share, in the first nine months of 2016.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (GAAP), this press release contains Non-GAAP financial measures for gross profit, operating expenses, operating loss, net loss and basic and diluted earnings per share that exclude the effects of capitalization of development costs, non-cash expense of amortization of intangible assets and share-based payments. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance that enhances management’s and investors’ ability to evaluate the Company’s net income and earnings per share and to compare them to historical net income and earnings per share.

The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP measures when operating and evaluating the Company’s business internally and therefore decided to make these non-GAAP adjustments available to investors.

SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 06, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Amedica Corporation (Nasdaq:AMDA), an innovative biomaterial company that develops and manufactures silicon nitride as a platform for biomedical applications, announced that the company made a 510(k) submission to the U.S Food and Drug Administration for its Valeo C+CSC with Lumen spinal implant.

The Valeo C+CSC with Lumen is a modified CSC (cancellous structured ceramic) that is similar to Amedica’s commercially available Valeo C and Valeo C+ CSC (cleared in Europe only) cervical implants. This device increases implant surface area and plays an active role in the spinal fusion process while maintaining the other benefits silicon nitride brings to patients and physicians.

“The Valeo C+CSC with Lumen submission is a key step in introducing our proprietary porous silicon nitride technology into the US market. We look forward to working with the FDA on this important company milestone,” said Dr. Sonny Bal, Amedica CEO

About Amedica Corporation

Orthopediatrics Corp KIDS 4.9% is poised to achieve strong top-line growth due to its exclusive focus on the sizeable and largely underserved $2.5 billion pediatric orthopedic market, according to Stifel.

Stifel initiated coverage of Orthopediatrics with a Buy rating and a $23 price target for the shares. The valuation represents a 5.5 times enterprise value to revenue multiple, applied to Stifel’s 2019 revenue estimate for Orthopediatrics of $63.6 billion and discounted 10 percent to the end of 2018.

The pediatric orthopedic market, including trauma and deformity, complex spine and sports medicine, offers the most comprehensive and still-expanding portfolio of pediatric orthopedic implants and instruments to treat a wide array of orthopedic conditions, said analyst Rick Wise.

Capitalizing on this opportunity, Wise said the firm can deliver top-line CAGR in the solid high teens, suggesting revenues that would icrease from an estimated $45 million this year to $98.5 million in 2022. This would put Orthopediatrics above the average revenue growth among its peers.

Hologic (NSDQ:HOLX) said this week its current prez and CEO Stephen MacMillan will stay on with the company, resolving rumors that he may depart it to take up the corner office at Zimmer Biomet (NYSE:ZBH).

In an SEC filing, the Marlborough, Mass.-based company’s board said it approved a special “performance-based retention equity grant” to MacMillan after he had begun to receive interest from other medical device firms.

“Mr. MacMillan has led a dramatic turnaround of Hologic since joining in December 2013. The company’s performance has increased significantly under his leadership and he personally has recruited a large number of leaders to the company. In light of his long track record of success, other larger medical device companies have expressed interest over time in retaining him to serve as chief executive officer. Mr. MacMillan recently received such an offer from a large medical device company. The independent members of the company’s board of directors considered the potential for disruption to Hologic and its business should Mr. MacMillan leave, and determined that it was in the best interests of Hologic and its stockholders to retain him as chairman, president and chief executive officer. Accordingly, the independent members of the board, after careful consideration and discussions with Mr. MacMillan and the compensation committee’s compensation consultant, awarded him a special retention equity grant, all of which is performance-based. He has formally declined the other more substantial offer, reaffirmed his full commitment to Hologic, and will remain as chairman, president and chief executive officer of Hologic,” the company wrote in an SEC filing.

SUWANEE, GA–(Marketwired – Nov 3, 2017) – SANUWAVE Health, Inc. (OTCQB: SNWV) is pleased to announce that the company will exhibit at Wounds Canada 2017 Fall Conference in Mississauga, Ontario on 16 – 19 November 2017.

Wounds Canada’s fall conference is a continuing education event designed to support healthcare professionals who work with patients with wounds or who are at risk for developing wounds.

In Canada, 2.4 million people were living with diabetes in 2008-2009, a figure that is expected to rise to close to 4 million people by 2018-2019. Ulceration of the foot is one of the major health problems with diabetes, diabetic foot ulcers in acute inpatient care is a serious chronic disease, and is a major factor in the story of wounds. Wounds Canada, formerly Canadian Association of Wound Care, estimates that the average cost of treating a chronic wound in Canada is $10K and diabetes related ulcers cost the Canadian health care system $150M annually. Early treatment intervention with dermaPACE can prevent ulcers from developing complications such as infection that could lead to amputation.

“We are very excited about growing our activities in Canada in the wound care arena,” stated Mr. Richardson, Chief Executive Officer of SANUWAVE. “Our exhibition will be the springboard to establish and then grow our market presence in Canada.”
