Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On August 5, 2020, Axogen Inc. (“Axogen” or the “Company”) reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2020 and provided a financial outlook for the third quarter of 2020. At that time, the Company believed that regional resurgences of COVID-19 would continue to negatively impact the incidence of trauma and surgical procedure volumes in certain geographies. As a result, the Company expected third quarter revenue to remain below prior-year levels of $28.6 million.
Since then, third quarter revenue has exceeded those expectations as the impact of regional COVID-19 resurgences on the incidence of trauma and surgical procedure volumes has been less than previously anticipated; additionally, the Company believes that surgeons and hospitals continue to prioritize nerve repair procedures as they expand their elective surgical procedure volumes.
As a result, with more than 80% of its fiscal third quarter complete, the Company now expects total revenue in the third quarter will be at least $30 million. As management discussed during the second quarter 2020 earnings call, the Company has benefited from a catch-up of previously deferred procedures during the third quarter, primarily in July and August.
The Company will report its financial results for third quarter 2020 on Thursday, October 29, 2020 after the market close and will host a conference call and webcast for the investment community at 4:30 pm ET that same day. The Company will provide an update on its outlook for the fourth quarter at that time.
Axogen is providing these updates in advance of the Company’s participation in two virtual investor conferences this week. The Company will hold investor meetings and participate in a live webcast at the Cantor Virtual Global Healthcare Conference on Wednesday September 16, 2020 at 9:20 am ET; this represents a change from the previously announced time of 1:20 pm ET that same day. The Company will also host virtual investor meetings on Thursday, September 17, 2020 as part of the Morgan Stanley Global Healthcare Conference.
