Nature of Business Nature of Business
MiMedx Group, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, except where the context otherwise requires, “MiMedx,” or the “Company”) is an industry leader in utilizing birth tissue as a platform for regenerative medicine, developing and distributing placental tissue allografts with patent-protected, proprietary processes for multiple sectors of healthcare. As a pioneer in placental biologics, we have both a core business, focused on addressing the needs of patients with acute and chronic non-healing wounds, and a promising late-stage pipeline targeted at decreasing pain and improving function for patients with degenerative musculoskeletal conditions. We derive our products from human placental tissues and process these tissues using our proprietary processing methods, including the PURION® process. We employ Current Good Tissue Practices, Current Good Manufacturing Practices, and terminal sterilization to produce our allografts. MiMedx provides products primarily in the wound care, burn, surgical, and non-operative sports medicine sectors of healthcare. All of our products are regulated by the FDA.
The Company’s business model is focused primarily on the United States of America but the Company is pursuing opportunities for international expansion.
Effect of the COVID-19 Pandemic
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization designated the outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus as a global pandemic (the “Pandemic” or “COVID-19 Pandemic”). The COVID-19 pandemic and associated governmental and societal responses have affected the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. The continuation or additional waves of the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic or the outbreak of other health epidemics could harm the Company’s operations, hinder the Company’s ability to generate revenue, or increase the Company’s costs and expenses. The ultimate impact of the pandemic is highly uncertain. As a result of the pandemic, the Company has experienced delays and impacts on the business and clinical trials. It is uncertain the extent and how long the pandemic will affect the healthcare system and the global economy as a whole. The effects of the pandemic or other health epidemics could continue to have an adverse impact on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition in the future.
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was signed into law. The CARES Act includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of the employer portion of certain payroll taxes, loans, and grants to certain businesses, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. Certain of these provisions were extended or expanded as a result of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, which was signed into law on December 27, 2020. As a result of these laws, the Company recorded a federal tax benefit of approximately $11.3 million due to the release of a previously-recorded valuation allowance. Of this amount, the Company received $1.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2020. The remaining $10.1 million is recorded as part of income tax receivable on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020.
