CEO, Jason Matuszewski, “I am proud of our team’s dedication and execution that delivered very strong fourth-quarter financial results to close out 2021. It was a year of many accomplishments that sets the stage for BioStem’s continued growth in 2022. Furthermore, I am excited to lead the team forward as we work to realize the long-term commercial potential of our product portfolio.

Looking back at 2021, we achieved net revenue growth of 80% year-over-year. Our largest driver for growth was the commercialization and reimbursement by CMS of Vendaje for wound care, and we anticipate this growth to continue by double digits in 2022. In anticipation of the upcoming launch of Vendaje AC, which we expect in the third quarter following reimbursement approval, we are building the commercial team, introducing medical education programs and moving forward with market development initiatives. BioStem has two product lines entering the wound-care market this year. With this, we are confident in our ability to execute our long-term strategic plan that will help us to increase profitability.

Lastly, we are continuing with the development of other new products to add to our portfolio. Our focus at BioStem is clear as we create new products that change lives by substantially improving medical outcomes while honoring the gift of birth tissue donation.

NON-GAAP FINANCIALS MEASURES

Our management uses financial measures that are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, in addition to financial measures in accordance with GAAP to evaluate our operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, our reported financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our operating performance and trends and make planning decisions. Our management believes Adjusted EBITDA helps identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the items that we exclude. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allowing for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.
