Forward-Looking Statements

 

From time to time, in reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (including this Form 10-Q), in press releases, and in other communications to shareholders or the investment community, the Company may provide forward-looking statements concerning possible or anticipated future results of operations or business developments. These statements are based on management’s current expectations or predictions of future conditions, events or results based on various assumptions and management’s estimates of trends and economic factors in the markets in which we are active, as well as our business plans. Words such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “seeks”, “estimates”, “projects”, “forecasts”, “may”, “should”, variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, statements regarding product development, product potential, regulatory environment, sales and marketing strategies, liquidity, capital resources or operating performance. The forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, which may cause results to differ materially from those set forth in the statements. Forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q should be evaluated together with the many uncertainties that affect the Company’s business and its market, particularly those discussed in the risk factors and cautionary statements in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results may differ materially from those projected. The forward-looking statements are representative only as of the date they are made, and the Company assumes no responsibility to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise except as required by law.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

 

1.     Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AxoGen, Inc. (the “Company” or “AxoGen”) and its wholly owned subsidiary AxoGen Corporation (“AC”) as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.  The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2013, which are included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013.  The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results for the periods presented.  Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

2.     Organization and Business

 

Business Summary

 

The Company is a leading medical technology company dedicated to peripheral nerve repair. AxoGen’s portfolio of regenerative medicine products is available in the United States, Canada and several other countries and includes Avance® Nerve Graft, the only off-the-shelf commercially available processed nerve allograft for bridging severed nerves without the comorbidities associated with a second surgical site, AxoGuard® Nerve Connector, a porcine submucosa extracellular matrix (“ECM”) coaptation aid for tensionless repair of severed nerves, and AxoGuard® Nerve Protector, a porcine submucosa ECM product used to wrap and protect injured peripheral nerves and reinforce the nerve reconstruction while preventing soft tissue attachments.

 

Avance® Nerve Graft is processed in the United States by AxoGen. AxoGuard® Nerve Connector and AxoGuard® Nerve Protector are manufactured in the United States by Cook Biotech Incorporated, and are distributed worldwide exclusively by AxoGen. AxoGen maintains its corporate offices in Alachua, Florida and is the parent of its wholly owned operating subsidiary, AxoGen Corporation.

 

3.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed and determinable, delivery has occurred and there is a reasonable assurance of collection of the sales proceeds. Revenues for manufactured products and products sold to a customer or under a distribution agreement are recognized when the product is delivered to the customer or distributor, at which time title passes to the customer or distributor, provided, however, that in the case of revenue from consigned sales, delivery is determined when the product is utilized in a surgical procedure. Once a product is delivered, the Company has no further performance obligations. Delivery is defined as delivery to a customer location or segregation of product into a contracted distribution location. At such time, this product cannot be sold to any other customer. Fees charged to customers for shipping are recognized as revenues when products are shipped to the customer, distributor or end user. Revenues from research grants are recognized in the period the associated costs are incurred.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Concentration

 

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. The Company

 

6



Table of Contents

 

has never experienced any losses related to these balances and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

 

Accounts Receivable and Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Accounts receivable are carried at the original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful accounts based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history and current economic conditions. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded when received.

 

We regularly review all accounts that exceed 60 days from the invoice date and based on an assessment of current credit worthiness, estimate the portion, if any, of the balance that will not be collected.  The analysis excludes certain government related receivables due to our past successful experience in collectability.  Specific accounts that are deemed uncollectible are reserved at 100% of their outstanding balance.  The remaining balances outstanding over 60 days have a percentage applied by aging category (5% for balances 61-90 days and 20% for balances over 90 days aged), based on a historical valuation that allows us to calculate the total reserve required.  The reserve balance was determined by applying a percentage to the cumulative balance between 60 and 90 days and a higher percentage to the balance over 90 days.  In the event that we exhaust all collection efforts and deem an account uncollectible, we would subsequently write off the account.  The write off process involves approval by senior management based on the write off amount.  The allowance for doubtful accounts reserve balance was approximately $61,000 and $58,000 at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

 

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited because a large number of geographically diverse customers make up the Company’s customer base, thus spreading the trade credit risk. The Company also controls credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are comprised of implantable tissue, nerve grafts, Avance® Nerve Graft, AxoGuard® Nerve Connector, AxoGuard® Nerve Protector, and supplies that are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market and consist of the following:

Inventories were net of reserve of approximately $347,000 and $383,000 at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company has not recorded current income tax expense due to the generation of net operating losses. Deferred income taxes are accounted for using the balance sheet approach which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. A full valuation allowance has been established on the deferred tax asset as it is more likely than not that future tax benefit will not be realized. In

Table of Contents

 

addition, future utilization of the available net operating loss carryforward may be limited under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 as a result of changes in ownership.

 

The Company identifies and evaluates uncertain tax positions, if any, and recognizes the impact of uncertain tax positions for which there is a less than more-likely-than-not probability of the position being upheld when reviewed by the relevant taxing authority. Such positions are deemed to be unrecognized tax benefits and a corresponding liability is established on the balance sheet. The Company has not recognized a liability for uncertain tax positions. If there were an unrecognized tax benefit, the Company would recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. The Company’s remaining open tax years subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service include the years ended December 31, 2010 through 2013; there currently are no examinations in process.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. These financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt approximates its carrying value based upon current rates available to the Company.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

Stock-based compensation cost related to stock options granted under the AC 2002 Stock Option Plan and AxoGen 2010 Stock Incentive Plan is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period. The Company estimates the fair value of each option award issued under the Plan on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model that uses the assumptions noted in the table below. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock at the date of grant based on the volatility of comparable peer companies which are publicly traded, for the periods prior to the merger, and based on the Company’s common stock for periods subsequent to the merger. The Company determines the expected life based on historical experience with similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms, vesting schedules and post-vesting forfeitures. The Company uses the risk-free interest rate on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury issues with an equivalent remaining term approximately equal to the expected life of the award. The Company has never paid any cash dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company used the following weighted-average assumptions for options granted during the six months ended June 30:

The Company estimates forfeitures when recognizing compensation expense and this estimate of forfeitures is adjusted over the requisite service period based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from such estimates. Changes in estimated forfeitures are recognized through a cumulative catch-up adjustment, which is recognized in the period of change, and also impact the amount of unamortized compensation expense to be recognized in future periods. The Company did not apply a forfeiture allocation to its unvested options outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 as they were deemed insignificant.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported

Table of Contents

 

amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of the ASU is for companies to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration, or payment, to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU may also result in enhanced disclosures about revenue. For public entities, the ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Due to the recent date of issuance for this ASU, management is currently evaluating what impact, if any, the pronouncement will have on the Company’s disclosures, its financial position or results from operations.

Amortization expense was approximately $11,000 and $15,000 for the three months and was approximately $22,000 and $29,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As of June 30, 2014, future amortization of license agreements is expected to be approximately $26,000 for the remainder of 2014 and $48,000 for 2015 through 2018.

License Agreements

 

The Company has entered into multiple license agreements (the “License Agreements”) with the University of Florida Research Foundation (“UFRF”) and University of Texas at Austin (“UTA”). Under the terms of the License Agreements, the Company acquired exclusive worldwide licenses for underlying technology used in repairing and regenerating nerves. The licensed technologies include the rights to issued patents and patents pending in the United States and international markets. The effective term of the License Agreements extends through the term of the related patents and the agreements may be terminated by the Company with 60 days prior written notice. Additionally, in the event of default, licensors may terminate an agreement if the Company fails to cure a breach after written notice. The License Agreements contain the key terms listed below:

 

·                  AxoGen pays royalty fees ranging from 1% to 3% under the License Agreements based on net sales of licensed products. One of the agreements also contains a minimum royalty of $12,500 per quarter, which may include a credit in future quarters in the same calendar year for the amount the minimum royalty exceeds the royalty fees. Also, when AxoGen pays royalties to more than one licensor for sales of the same product, a royalty stack cap applies, capping total royalties at 3.75%;

 

·                  If AxoGen sublicenses technologies covered by the License Agreements to third parties, AxoGen would pay a percentage of sublicense fees received from the third party to the licensor. Currently, AxoGen does not sublicense any technologies covered by License Agreements. The Company is not considered a sub-licensee under the License Agreements and does not owe any sub-licensee fees for its own use of the technologies;

 

·                  AxoGen reimburses the licensors for certain legal expenses incurred for patent prosecution and defense of the technologies covered by the License Agreements; and

 

·                  Currently, under one of the License Agreements, AxoGen would owe a $15,000 milestone fee upon receiving a Phase II Small Business Innovation Research or Phase II Small Business Technology Transfer grant involving the licensed technology. The Company has not received either grant and does not owe such a milestone fee. Other milestone fees are due if AxoGen develops certain pharmaceutical or medical device products under the License Agreements. No such products are currently under development.

 

Royalty fees were approximately $85,000 and $58,000 for the three months and were $145,000 and $105,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, and are included in sales and marketing expense on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

6.     Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses

 

Accounts payable and accrued expenses includes $205,165 and $203,380 for accrued payroll at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, $415,763 and $417,825 for accrued commissions at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively and $231,691 and $31,176 for accrued bonuses at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Note Payable

 

On October 5, 2012, AxoGen entered into a Revenue Interests Purchase Agreement (the “Royalty Contract”) with PDL BioPharma, Inc. (“PDL”), pursuant to which the Company sold to PDL the right to receive royalties equal to 9.95% of the Company’s Net Revenues (as defined in the Royalty Contract) generated by the sale, distribution or other use of AxoGen’s products Avance® Nerve Graft, AxoGuard® Nerve Connector and AxoGuard® Nerve Protector.  Proceeds from the PDL transaction were used to fully repay the MidCap Loan, as defined below, and extinguish AxoGen’s long-term debt obligations there under.  The Royalty Contract has a term of eight years. Under the Royalty Contract, PDL is to receive royalty payments based on a royalty rate of 9.95% of the Company’s Net Revenues, subject to certain agreed upon minimum payment requirements, currently anticipated to be operative, of approximately $1.3 to $2.5 million per quarter which begin in the fourth quarter of 2014 through the third quarter of 2020 as provided in the Royalty Contract. The total consideration PDL paid to the Company was $20,800,000 (the “Funded Amount”), including $19,050,000 PDL paid to the Company on October 5, 2012, and $1,750,000 PDL paid to the Company on August 14, 2012 pursuant to an Interim Revenue Interest Purchase Agreement between the Company and PDL, dated August 14, 2012 (the “Interim Royalty Contract”). Upon the closing (the “Closing”) of PDL’s purchase of the specified royalties described above, which was concurrent with the execution of the Royalty Contract, the Interim Royalty Contract was terminated.

 

The Company records interest using its best estimate of the effective interest rate. Currently the Company is accruing interest using the specified internal rate of return of the put option of 20%.  From time to time, the Company will reevaluate the expected cash flows and may adjust the effective interest rate.  Determining the effective interest rate requires judgment and is based on significant assumptions related to estimates of the amounts and timing of future revenue streams.

 

Put Option

 

Under the Royalty Contract, on October 5, 2016, or in the event of the occurrence of a material adverse event, our transfer of revenue interest or substantially all of our interest in the products or AxoGen’s bankruptcy or material breach of the Royalty Contract, PDL may require AxoGen to repurchase the Assigned Interests at the “Put Price.” The Put Price is equal to the sum of (i) an amount that, when paid to PDL, would generate a specified internal rate of return to PDL of 20% on the Funded Amount, taking into consideration payments made to PDL by the Company, and (ii) any “Delinquent Assigned Interest Payment” (as defined in the Royalty Contract) the Company owed to PDL.

 

Change of Control; Call Option

 

In addition, in the event of a “Change of Control” (as defined in the Royalty Contract), the Company must repurchase the assigned Interests from PDL for a repurchase price equal to the “Change of Control Price” on or prior to the third business day after the occurrence of the Change of Control. The Change of Control Price is equal to the sum of (i) an amount that, when paid to PDL, would generate a specified internal rate of return to PDL of thirty-two and one half percent (32.5%) on the Funded Amount, taking into consideration payments made to PDL by the Company, and (ii) any “Delinquent Assigned Interest Payment” (as defined in the Royalty Contract) the Company owed to PDL. In addition, at any time after October 5, 2016, the Company, at its option, can call the Royalty Contract for a price equal to the Change of Control Price.

 

Board Designee

 

Under the Royalty Contract, during the term of the Royalty Contract, PDL is entitled to designate, and AxoGen shall appoint an individual designated by PDL, who shall serve on the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”).  The PDL designee was elected at the Company’s 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.  At each

 

11



Table of Contents

 

annual meeting thereafter during the term of the Royalty Contract, the Board shall nominate and recommend the PDL designee as a director nominee to serve on the Board until the next annual meeting and shall include such nomination in AxoGen’s proxy statement for each annual meeting thereafter, provided that the election of the PDL designee is subject to shareholders’ approval.

 

Should at any time there become a vacancy on the Board as a result of (i) the resignation, death or removal of the PDL designee or (ii) such PDL designee failing to obtain the requisite approval of the Company’s shareholders at any annual or special meeting of the Company’s shareholders and where no other individual is elected to such vacancy, PDL shall have the right to designate an individual to fill such vacancy, and AxoGen shall take such actions necessary to appoint, such individual to the Board.

 

Preemptive Rights

 

Under the Royalty Contract, PDL has preemptive rights with respect to certain new issuances of AxoGen’s equity securities and securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into such equity securities.

 

Restriction on Dividends

 

Under the Royalty Contract, during the period from the October 5, 2012 to December 4, 2016 (or the payment of the Put Price in the event PDL exercises its put option on or prior to December 4, 2016), AxoGen shall not, nor shall it permit any subsidiary to, declare, pay or make any dividend or distribution on any shares of the common stock or preferred stock of such entity (other than dividends or distributions payable in its stock, or split-ups or reclassifications of its stock) or apply any of its funds, property or assets to the purchase, redemption or other retirement of any common or preferred stock, or of any options to purchase or acquire any such shares of common or preferred stock of any such entity (collectively, “Restricted Payments”), except that: (i) each subsidiary may make direct or indirect Restricted Payments to the Company; and (ii) the Company and each subsidiary may purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire Equity Interests issued by it solely with the proceeds received from the substantially concurrent issue of new shares of its common stock or other common Equity Interests. For purposes of the Royalty Contract, “Equity Interests” of any person means any and all shares, rights to purchase, options, warrants, general, limited or limited liability partnership interests, member interests, participation or other equivalents of or interest in (regardless of how designated) equity of such entity, whether voting or nonvoting, including common stock, preferred stock, convertible securities or any other “equity security” (as such term is defined in Rule 3a11-1under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).

 

Guarantee and Collateral Agreement

 

In connection with the Royalty Contract, on October 5, 2012, AxoGen and AC, entered into a Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (the “Guarantee and Collateral Agreement”) with PDL, pursuant to which (i) AC unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to PDL the prompt and complete payment and performance by AxoGen when due of the “Secured Obligations,” which include the Company’s obligations under the Royalty Contract, and any other obligations that AxoGen may owe to PDL under the Royalty Contract and other transaction documents; and (ii) each of the Company and AC grants to PDL a security interest in certain collateral as specified in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due of the Secured Obligations.

 

8.     Stock Options

 

The Company granted 454,000 options to purchase shares of stock pursuant to its 2010 Stock Incentive Plan for the six months ended June 30, 2014.  Stock-based compensation expense was $216,602 and $132,561 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively and $474,144 and $392,473 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Total future stock compensation expense related to nonvested awards is expected to be approximately $1,701,000 at June 30, 2014.

ITEM 2 — MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this report to “AxoGen,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to AxoGen, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary AxoGen Corporation (“AC”) after the Merger (as defined below), and AC before the Merger.

 

OVERVIEW

 

The Company is a leading medical technology company dedicated to peripheral nerve repair. AxoGen’s portfolio of regenerative medicine products is available in the United States, Canada and several other countries and includes Avance® Nerve Graft, the only off-the-shelf commercially available processed nerve allograft for bridging severed nerves without the comorbidities associated with a second surgical site, AxoGuard® Nerve Connector, a ECM coaptation aid for tensionless repair of severed nerves, and AxoGuard® Nerve Protector, a porcine submucosa ECM product used to wrap and protect injured peripheral nerves and reinforce the nerve reconstruction while preventing soft tissue attachments.

 

Revenue from the distribution of these products is the main contributor to AxoGen’s total reported sales and has been the key component of its growth to date. AxoGen revenues increased in second quarter 2014 compared to 2013 primarily as a result of sales to new accounts and increased product usage by existing accounts. AxoGen has continued to broaden and strengthen its sales and marketing activity with a focus on the execution of its sales operations.  This is expected to have a continued positive contribution to its revenue growth in the long term.

 

Results of Operations

 

Comparison of the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 and 2013

 

Revenues

 

Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2014 increased 47.2% to approximately $4,214,000 as compared to approximately $2,862,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013.  Additionally, revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased 46.9% to approximately $7,352,000 as compared to approximately $5,005,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013.  This increase was primarily a result of sales to new accounts and increased product usage by existing accounts.  In addition, AxoGen recognized approximately $57,000 of grant revenue and $119,000 of grant revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively as compared to no such revenue in the corresponding time period in 2013.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2014 increased 49.2% to approximately $3,326,000 as compared to approximately $2,229,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013.  Such increase in aggregate dollars was primarily attributable to the increased revenues in the second quarter of 2014, with additional contributions by the factors also affecting gross margin. Gross margin improved to 78.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to 77.9% for the same period in 2013 as a result of price increases in March 2014 and changes in product mix.

 

Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased 51.2% to approximately $5,763,000 as compared to approximately $3,812,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013.  Such increase in aggregate dollars was primarily attributable to the increased revenues in the first six months of 2014, with additional contributions by the factors also affecting gross margin. Gross margin improved to 78.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to 76.2% for the same period in 2013 as a result of price increases in March 2014 and changes in product mix.

Costs and Expenses

 

Total cost and expenses increased 27.2% to approximately $5,624,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to approximately $4,423,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. These increases were primarily due to increasing sales and marketing activities, increases in compensation as AxoGen hired additional personnel to meet its current and expected growth and costs associated with clinical activities.

 

Total cost and expenses increased 32.7% to approximately $11,052,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to approximately $8,330,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. These increases were primarily due to increasing sales and marketing activities and increases in compensation as AxoGen hired additional personnel to meet its current and expected growth.  To a lesser extent, these increases were also attributable to expenses associated with being a public company listed on NASDAQ, facility costs and research and development costs associated with the Company’s preparation for its clinical trial.

 

Sales and marketing expenses increased 32.8% to approximately $3,355,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014  as compared to approximately $2,526,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. This increase was primarily due to expansion of the direct sales force, increased support for both AxoGen’s direct sales force and independent distributors, sales training and surgeon education. As a percentage of revenues, sales and marketing expenses were 79.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to 88.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Such lower sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue were a result of the revenue increase outpacing increases in costs and expenses.

 

Sales and marketing expenses increased 37.5% to approximately $6,076,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014  as compared to approximately $4,420,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. This increase was primarily due to expansion of the direct sales force, increased support for both AxoGen’s direct sales force and independent distributors, sales training and surgeon education. As a percentage of revenues, sales and marketing expenses were 82.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to 88.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Such lower sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue were a result of the revenue increase outpacing increases in costs and expenses.

 

General and administrative expenses increased 22.4% to approximately $1,713,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to approximately $1,399,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily a result of increased compensation, public company related expenditures and increased rent and utilities for the Company’s new corporate headquarters and distribution facility, partially offset by a reduction in consulting services, legal services and travel expenses.  As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses were 40.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to 48.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Such lower general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue were a result of the revenue increase outpacing increases in costs and expenses.

 

General and administrative expenses increased 20.1% to approximately $3,608,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to approximately $3,004,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily a result of increased compensation, public company related expenditures and increased rent and utilities for the Company’s new corporate headquarters and distribution facility, partially offset by a reduction in consulting services, legal services and travel expenses.  As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses were 49.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to 60.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Such lower general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue were a result of the revenue increase outpacing increases in costs and expenses.

 

Research and development expenses increased approximately 11.6% to approximately $556,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2014  as compared to approximately $498,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013.  Research and development expenses increased approximately 51.2% to approximately $1,368,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2014  as compared to approximately $905,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013.  Development includes AxoGen’s product development and clinical efforts substantially focused on its biological license application (“BLA”) for the Avance® Nerve Graft. A substantial portion of the increase in research and development expenses from 2013 to 2014 is related to expenditures for such clinical activity. Although AxoGen’s products are developed for sale in their current use, it does conduct limited research and

product development focused on new products and new applications to existing products.  AxoGen has become more active in pursuing research grants to support this research.  AxoGen’s product pipeline development also contributed to a portion of the research and development expense increase in 2014, with grant revenue partially offsetting a portion of this activity.

 

Other Income and Expenses

 

Interest expense increased 13.7% to approximately $1,392,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to approximately $1,224,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Interest expense increased 12.7% to approximately $2,583,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to approximately $2,291,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. This increase was due to the increase in the interest related to the Royalty Contract from higher revenues and the interest accrued related to PDL.  As a result of the accounting treatment for the PDL transaction, interest expense included approximately $1,031,000 and $938,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and approximately $1,917,000 and $1,833,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, of non-cash expense that is expected to be paid in the future based upon the terms of the PDL transaction and increases in AxoGen revenues. Other than the $1,917,000 and $1,833,000 non-cash expense, the remaining $665,000 and $458,000 in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, is related to cash paid for interest on the note payable.

 

Interest expense—deferred financing costs increased 26.8% to approximately $52,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to approximately $41,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Interest expense—deferred financing costs increased 21.2% to approximately $103,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to approximately $85,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. This increase is primarily due to higher deferred financing cost amortization associated with the PDL agreement from applying the effective interest rate method.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company had no income tax expenses or income tax benefit for each of the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 due to incurrence of net operating loss in each of these periods.

 

Effect of Inflation

 

Inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company’s operations or cash flow.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Note Payable

 

On October 5, 2012, AxoGen entered into the Royalty Contract with PDL.  Proceeds from the PDL transaction were used to fully repay a prior credit facility and extinguish AxoGen’s long-term debt obligations thereunder. Pursuant to the Royalty Contract the Company sold to PDL the right to receive specified royalties on the Company’s Net Revenues (as defined in the Royalty Contract) generated by the sale, distribution or other use of the Company’s products Avance® Nerve Graft, AxoGuard® Nerve Protector and AxoGuard® Nerve Connector (the “Acquired Revenues”). The Royalty Contract has a term of eight years. Under the Royalty Contract, PDL is to receive royalty payments currently paid weekly based on a royalty rate of 9.95% of the Company’s Net Revenues (the “Assigned Interests”), subject to certain agreed upon minimum payment requirements which begin in the fourth quarter of 2014 as provided in the Royalty Contract. The total consideration PDL paid to the Company was $20,800,000 (the “Funded Amount”), including $19,050,000 PDL paid to the Company on October 5, 2012, and $1,750,000 PDL paid to the Company on August 14, 2012 pursuant to the Interim Royalty Contract. Upon the closing of PDL’s purchase of the specified royalties described above, which was concurrent with the execution of the Royalty Contract, the Interim Royalty Contract was terminated.   There are no financial covenants or other restrictions on the use of capital by AxoGen as a result of the Royalty Contract, however, PDL has a first perfected security interest in the Assigned Interests.

 

The Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures at June 30, 2014.

Cash Flow Information

 

AxoGen had working capital of approximately $18.00 million and a current ratio of 8.99 at June 30, 2014, compared to working capital of $23.56 million and a current ratio of 12.23 at December 31, 2013. The decrease in working capital and the current ratio at June 30, 2014 as compared to December 31, 2013 was primarily due to the use of working capital for operations in excess of revenues.  The Company believes it has sufficient cash resources to meet its liquidity requirements for at least the next 12 months. AxoGen’s future capital requirements depend on a number of factors, including, without limitation, revenue increases consistent with its business plan, cost of products and acquisition and/or development of new products.

 

AxoGen’s future capital requirements depend on a number of factors, including, without limitation, revenue increases consistent with its business plan, and the corresponding escalating royalty payments of approximately $1.3 to $2.5 million per quarter, starting in October 2014,  due to PDL and pursuant to AxoGen’s licensing agreements in connection with Avance® Nerve Graft, cost of products and acquisition and/or development of new products. In particular, if revenue does not increase by fourth quarter 2014 to a level whereby the 9.95% royalty owed to PDL on AxoGen’s gross revenues exceeds the PDL minimum royalty payments at such time of approximately $1.3 million, and such differential continues, or grows larger as the PDL minimum royalty payments increase, AxoGen would face increasing capital needs. Such capital needs could be substantial depending on the extent to which AxoGen is unable to increase revenue.

 

If AxoGen needs additional capital in the future, it may raise additional funds through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or from other sources.  The sale of additional equity would result in dilution to AxoGen’s shareholders. There is no assurance that AxoGen will be able to secure funding on terms acceptable to it, or at all. The increasing need for capital as the PDL transaction matures could also make it more difficult to obtain funding through either equity or debt.  Should additional capital not become available to AxoGen as needed, AxoGen may be required to take certain action, such as, slowing sales and marketing expansion, delaying regulatory approvals or reducing headcount. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company had a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $5,899,000 as compared to a net decrease of cash and cash equivalents of approximately $5,215,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2013. The Company’s principal sources and uses of funds are explained below:

 

Cash used in operating activities

 

The Company used approximately $5,720,000 of cash for operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to using approximately $5,164,000 of cash for operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2013. This increase in cash used in operating activities is primarily attributed to the net loss generated in the six months ended June 30, 2014, along with an increase in our accounts receivable associated with increased revenues.

 

Cash used for investing activities

 

Investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 used approximately $314,000 of cash as compared to using approximately $84,000 of cash in the six months ended June 30, 2013. This increase in use is principally attributable to the purchase of certain fixed assets for the expansion of the headquarters office and the opening of the worldwide distribution facility in Burleson, Texas.

 

Cash provided by financing activities

 

Financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2014 provided approximately $134,000 of cash as compared to providing approximately $33,000 of cash in the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was due to proceeds received from the exercise of stock options.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

AxoGen does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
