Sanara MedTech Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2021 Results and Business Update

FORT WORTH, TX / ACCESSWIRE / August 16, 2021 / Sanara MedTech Inc .

Based in Fort Worth, Texas, Sanara MedTech Inc. (“Sanara,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) (NASDAQ:SMTI), a provider of surgical and chronic wound care products dedicated to improving patient outcomes, announced today its strategic, operational and financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

Ron Nixon, Sanara’s Executive Chairman, stated, “Sanara had another record sales quarter to end the first half of 2021. Our results were driven by strong product sales across a wider number of facilities and geographies. Additionally, we continued to execute on our comprehensive wound and skin strategy by closing on the Pixalere partnership, arranging pilots to prove the value of the Company’s offering, and continuing to focus on developing new products. Subsequent to the end of the quarter we completed our acquisition of certain assets of Rochal Industries, LLC (“Rochal”) and brought their team in-house, which we believe will contribute to our long-term success.”

Second Quarter 2021 Strategic Highlights

• The Company announced an exclusive partnership with Pixalere Healthcare Inc. (“Pixalere”) to advance its comprehensive wound and skin care strategy. This partnership combines Pixalere’s technology, including decision support, documentation, and wound tracking analytics, with complementary Sanara solutions that offer virtual access to expert wound and skin physicians/clinicians, advanced diagnostics, and wound care product order fulfillment.
• The Company’s surgical products continued to be approved for use in additional facilities throughout the quarter. As of June 30, 2021, CellerateRX was approved to be used in over 900 hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers.
• Sanara hired 8 additional salespeople in Q2, bringing the total number of regional sales managers and territory managers to 26.
• The Company’s surgical products generated revenue in 21 states in Q2 2021 at or above a $50,000 annual run rate (compared to 18 states that generated revenue above $50,000 for the full year 2020).
• For the first half of the year, CellerateRX Surgical has been sold in over 300 hospitals/ASCs as of June 30, 2021
• Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company announced the acquisition of certain assets of Rochal. In connection with this acquisition, Sanara brought in-house a dedicated research and development team that the Company believes can develop products uniquely suited to address patients’ wound and skin conditions. The addition of the Rochal team also strengthens Sanara’s expertise in areas of regulatory, compliance, manufacturing, and quality control and aligns the long-term interests of both companies.

Second Quarter and First Half 2021 Consolidated Financial Results

• Revenues. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we generated revenues of $6,277,133 compared to revenues of $2,967,183 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, representing a 112% increase from the prior year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, revenues totaled $11,286,569 compared to revenues of $6,491,514 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, representing a 74% increase from the prior year period. The higher revenues in 2021 were primarily due to increased sales of surgical wound care products as a result of our sales force expansion last year and our continuing strategy to expand our independent distribution network in both new and existing U.S. markets. In addition, revenues in the second quarter of 2020 were negatively impacted due to the suspension of elective surgeries and restricted access to patient facilities throughout most parts of the United States as a result of the COVID­19 pandemic.
• Cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 2021, was $536,405, compared to Cost of goods sold of $348,675 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $1,010,838, compared to Cost of goods sold of $678,863 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase over the prior year period was primarily due to higher sales volume.
• Selling, general and administrative expenses . SG&A expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2021, were $6,562,144, as compared to $3,582,511 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. SG&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2021, were $11,971,874 compared to SG&A expenses of $8,514,662 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The higher SG&A expenses in 2021 were primarily due to increased payroll costs resulting from sales force expansion and operational support, and higher sales commission expense as a result of higher product sales. As part of our strategy to expand our sales reach in new and existing markets, we employed eight additional field sales managers during the first half of 2021. As of June 30, 2021, we had a total of 26 field sales managers.
• Net income / loss. We had a net loss of $1,205,973 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to net loss of $1,129,557 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $2,389,349, compared to net loss of $2,970,569 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The improvement in our net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to higher sales revenues in 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.
