Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Net Sales and International Net Sales Growth on a Constant Currency Basis

Net Sales and International Net Sales Growth on a Constant Currency Basis is a non-GAAP measure, which is calculated by translating current and prior year results at the same foreign currency exchange rate. Constant currency can be presented for numerous GAAP measures, but is most commonly used by management to facilitate the comparison sales in foreign currencies to prior periods and analyze net sales performance without the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Organic Revenue Growth

The Company defines the term “organic revenue” as revenue in the stated period excluding the impact from business acquisitions and divestitures. The Company uses the related term “organic revenue growth” to refer to the financial performance metric of comparing the stated period organic revenue with the reported revenue of the corresponding period in the prior year. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with our GAAP financial measures, allows the Company and its investors to better measure the Company’s performance and evaluate long-term performance trends. Organic revenue growth also facilitates easier comparisons of the Company’s performance with prior and future periods and relative comparisons to its peers. The Company excludes the effect of acquisitions and divestitures because these activities can have a significant impact on the Company's reported results, which the Company believes makes comparisons of long-term performance trends difficult for management and investors.

Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Gross Margin, Non-GAAP Operating Income, Non-GAAP Operating Expense, Non-GAAP Operating Margin, Non-GAAP Net Income, and Non-GAAP Earnings per share of Class A Common Stock.

We present Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Gross Margin, Non-GAAP Operating Income, Non-GAAP Operating Expense, Non-GAAP Operating Margin, Non-GAAP Net Income, and Non-GAAP Earnings per share of Class A Common Stock, all non-GAAP financial measures, to supplement our financial reporting, because we believe these measures are useful indicators of our operating performance.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) from continuing operations before depreciation and amortization, provision of income taxes and interest expense (income), adjusted for the impact of certain cash, non-cash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These items include equity compensation, restructuring costs, loss on debt retirement and modification, COVID-19 benefits, net, succession and transition charges, foreign currency impact, acquisitions and integration costs, inventory step-up costs, equity loss in unconsolidated investments, change in fair value of contingent consideration, impairments related to variable interest entity and other non-recurring costs. See the table below for a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA principally as a measure of our operating performance and believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to our investors because it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties often use it in their evaluation of the operating performance of companies in industries similar to ours. Our management also uses Adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and financial projections.

Our management uses Non-GAAP Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Gross Margin, Non-GAAP Operating Income, Non-GAAP Operating Expense, Non-GAAP Operating Margin and Non-GAAP Net Income principally as measures of our operating performance and believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to better understand the long term recurring performance of our core business and to facilitate comparison of our results to those of peer companies. Our management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and financial projections.

We define Non-GAAP Gross Profit as gross profit, adjusted for the impact of certain cash, non-cash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These items include depreciation and amortization included in the cost of goods sold and acquisition costs in cost of goods sold. We define Non-GAAP Gross Margin as the calculated ratio of Non-GAAP Gross Profit to net sales. See the table below for a reconciliation of gross profit and gross margin to Non-GAAP Gross Profit and Gross Margin.

We define Non-GAAP Operating Income as operating income, adjusted for the impact of certain cash, non-cash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These items include depreciation and amortization included in the cost of goods sold, amortization included in operating expenses, restructuring costs, change in fair value of contingent consideration, COVID-19 expense, succession and transition charges, acquisition and integration costs, inventory step-up costs, impairments related to variable interest entity and other non-recurring costs. Non-GAAP Operating Margin is defined as defined as Non-GAAP Operating Income divided by net sales. See the table below for a reconciliation of Operating Income and operating margin to Non-GAAP Operating Income and Non-GAAP Operating Margin.

We define Non-GAAP Operating Expense as operating expenses, adjusted to exclude certain cash, non-cash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These items include amortization included in operating expenses, restructuring costs, change in fair value of contingent consideration, COVID-19 expense, succession and transition charges, acquisition and integration costs, impairments related to variable interest entity and other non-recurring costs. See the table below for a reconciliation of Operating Expenses to Non-GAAP Operating Expenses.

We define Non-GAAP Net Income as Net Income, adjusted for the impact of certain cash, non-cash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These items include depreciation and amortization included in the cost of goods sold, amortization included in operating expenses, restructuring costs, change in fair value of contingent consideration, loss on debt retirement and modification, COVID-19 expense, COVID-19 income, succession and transition charges, acquisition and integration costs, inventory step-up costs, impairments related to variable interest entity and other non-recurring costs. See the table below for a reconciliation of Net Income to Non-GAAP Net Income.

We define Non-GAAP Earnings per Class A share as Earnings per Class A share, adjusted for the impact of certain cash, non-cash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These items include depreciation and amortization included in the cost of goods sold, amortization included in operating expenses, restructuring costs, change in fair value of contingent consideration, acquisition and integration costs  and other non-recurring costs, divided by weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. See the table below for a reconciliation of loss per Class A share to Non-GAAP Earnings per Class A share.

Bioventus Completes the Acquisition of Misonix

DURHAM, NC – October 29, 2021 – Bioventus Inc. (Nasdaq: BVS) (“Bioventus” or the “Company”), a global leader in innovations for active healing, has completed the acquisition of Misonix, Inc. (“Misonix”), a provider of minimally invasive therapeutic ultrasonic technologies and regenerative medicine that are designed to enhance clinical outcomes, for cash and common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, Misonix has become a wholly owned subsidiary of Bioventus.

As of the effective time of the transaction, Misonix stockholders have the right to receive either (i) 1.6839 shares of Bioventus class A common stock or (ii) $28.00 in cash, without interest, for each share of Misonix common stock they hold, subject to proration based on an aggregate maximum cash amount payable by Bioventus equal to $10.50 per share of Misonix common stock outstanding shortly prior to the completion of the transaction.

The completed transaction creates a high growth medical device company that will conduct business as Bioventus Inc. With a $15B total addressable market and the ability to gain significant market share across multiple surgical applications as well as wound healing the combined organization can deliver consistent double digit revenue growth. The acquisition is directly aligned with Bioventus’ mission of delivering innovations for active healing to patients and providers. The deal also furthers the Company’s strategy of accelerated revenue growth through acquisitions that leverage the Company’s existing infrastructure.  Together the Company will have a significant sales force focused across surgical applications in spinal fusion, neurosurgery of the cranium and wound treatments including diabetic foot ulcers.

“The commercial reach of the new Bioventus is significantly broader, deeper and even more global. The acquisition has significant revenue growth opportunities via sales call point synergies that we share with Misonix including spinal and lower extremity surgeons. We expect it will accelerate the adoption of the recently launched neXus® platform used to facilitate ultrasonic procedures across spinal decompressions using the BoneScalpel®, SonaStar® for tumor ablation in the cranium and SonicOne® for tissue debridement in chronic wounds. Leading wound products including TheraSkin® will now be available to the entire customer continuum from the office to the wound centers,” said Ken Reali, CEO, Bioventus. “The combination with Misonix allows us to go deeper with our customer base leveraging our infrastructure and benefiting patients, physicians, surgeons as well as our more than 1,200 employees worldwide.”

Governance
Stavros Vizirgianakis and Patrick Beyer, each of whom were members of Misonix’s Board of Directors, have joined the Bioventus Board of Directors as of the closing of the transaction.
