Second Quarter 2020

The Company’s worldwide revenues for the second quarter of 2020 were $54.2 million compared with $81.6 million during the same period in the prior year.  Spine revenue was $20.5 million compared with $32.6 million in the prior year and OEM revenue was $33.7 million compared with $49.0 million in the prior year.  Gross profit for the second quarter of 2020 was $23.1 million, or 43% of revenue compared to $46.1 million, or 57% of revenue, in the second quarter of 2019.

Net loss applicable to common shares was $38.7 million, or $0.51 per fully diluted common share in the second quarter of 2020 compared to approximately breakeven in the second quarter of 2019.  Adjusted for the impact of non-recurring charges, net loss applicable to common shares was $24.1 million, or $0.32 per fully diluted common share in the second quarter of 2020.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA), for the second quarter of 2020 was a loss of $5.3 million compared to income of $9.4 million for the second quarter of 2019.  The decline in adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by the reduction of revenue and gross margin as a result in the reduction of elective surgical procedures related to COVID – 19, partially offset by reduction in spending primarily driven by employee furloughs and management salary reductions.

Due to the inability to estimate the size and impact of the COVID – 19 pandemic on the Company’s operations and financial results, Surgalign Holdings, Inc. is not providing guidance for fiscal 2020.  We will continue to evaluate the impact of the COVID – 19 pandemic on our operations and financial results and will provide additional information when we are more certain.
