Bioventus Inc., a leader in innovations for active healing, has reported financial results for the three months ended April 3, 2021.
Net sales for the quarter were $81.8 million, up $3.1 million or 4% year over year. The increase in net sales, by geography, was driven by an increase of $2.6 million, or 3.6%, year-over-year, in U.S. net sales and an increase of $0.6 million, or 8.5%, year-over-year, in international net sales. International net sales for the first quarter of 2021 increased 2.5% year-over-year on a constant currency basis.
The increase in net sales, by vertical, was driven by an increase of $4.5 million, or 32.6%, year-over-year, in Bone Graft Substitute sales and by an increase of $0.2 million, or 0.6%, year-over-year, in Pain Treatment and Joint Preservation sales, partially offset by a decrease of $1.6 million, or 7.0%, year-over-year, in Restorative Therapies sales.
Comments from CEO
“Bioventus delivered better-than-expected first quarter revenue results, driven primarily by accelerating U.S. sales growth trends as we moved through the quarter, culminating with nearly 30% year-over-year growth in March,” stated Ken Reali, chief executive officer of Bioventus.
Reali continued, “We were also pleased to announce an important strategic acquisition at the end of the first quarter and welcome the Bioness organization to our Bioventus team. Bioness is a recognized leader in neuromodulation through its innovative peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) therapy, and advanced rehabilitation medical devices. Our acquisition of Bioness significantly expands our total addressable market as their medical devices currently address a global market opportunity in excess of $8 billion. We view the Bioness acquisition as an attractive strategic addition in multiple ways including being accretive to our long-term growth profile, leveraging our significant customer presence across orthopedics, broadening our portfolio and increasing our global footprint.”
Full Year Outlook
For the twelve months ending December 31, 2021, the company now expects net sales of $394 million to $406 million, up approximately 23% to 26% year-over-year.
