(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 March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. 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, 2014, which are included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014. 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

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 revenues 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.

Table of Contents

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 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.

In 2013, we established a reserve for doubtful accounts as we did have some accounts deemed uncollectible. 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 $101,000 and $94,000 at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 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:

	March 31, 2015		December 31, 2014
	(unaudited)
Finished goods	$	2,188,691	$	2,072,235
Work in process	272,470		331,891
Raw materials	876,737		809,494
	$	3,337,898	$	3,213,620

Inventories were net of reserve of approximately $575,000 and $404,000 at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Table of Contents

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 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, 2011 through 2014; 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, accounts receivable, 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 October 2011 merger of LecTec, Inc. and AxoGen Corporation, and based on the Company’s common stock for periods subsequent to such 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 three months ended March 31:

Three months ended March 31,	2015		2014
Expected term (in years)	4.0		4.0
Expected volatility	76.32	%	81.26	%
Risk free rate	1.28	%	1.12	%
Expected dividends	0.0	%	0.0	%

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 three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 as they were deemed insignificant.

Table of Contents

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 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

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (“ASU 2015-03”) which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements to present such costs as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. ASU 2015-03 will become effective for public companies during interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-02, “Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis” (“ASU 2015-02”) which updates the considerations on whether an entity should consolidate certain legal entities. The update removes the indefinite deferral of specialized guidance for certain investment funds and changes the way that entities evaluate limited partnerships and fees paid to service providers in the consolidation determination. ASU 2015-02 will become effective for public companies during interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2015, the FASB issued guidance, which completely eliminates all references to and guidance concerning the concept of an extraordinary item from GAAP. The updated guidance is effective for annual reporting periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted but we do not anticipate electing early adoption. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued updated guidance related to stock compensation. The amendment requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite period, be treated as a performance condition. The updated guidance is effective for annual reporting periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted but we do not anticipate electing early adoption. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued a new standard on revenue recognition which outlines a single comprehensive model to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard is designed to create greater comparability for financial statement users across industries and jurisdictions and also requires enhanced disclosures. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016; however, in April 2015, the FASB voted to propose a one year deferral of the effective date. The proposed deferral may permit early adoption, but would not allow adoption any earlier than the original effective date of the standard. We are currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s management has reviewed and considered all other recent accounting pronouncements and believe there are none that could potentially have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or disclosures.

As of December 31, 2014, the patents were fully amortized, and the remaining patents of $79,996 were pending patent costs and were not amortizable. Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was approximately $12,000 and $11,000, respectively. As of March 31, 2015, future amortization of license agreements is expected to be $36,000 for the remainder of 2015 and $48,000 for 2016 through 2020.

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

Table of Contents

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 sublicensee 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 $96,000 and $61,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and are included in sales and marketing expense on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

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. The Royalty Contract had a term of eight years. Under the Royalty Contract, PDL received royalty payments based on a royalty rate of 9.95% of the Company’s Net Revenues, subject to certain agreed upon minimum payment requirements, which were anticipated to be approximately $1.3 to $2.5 million per quarter tobegin in the fourth quarter of 2014 through the third quarter of 2020 as provided in the Royalty Contract. The Company recorded interest using its best estimate of the effective interest rate accruing interest using the specified internal rate of return of the Put Option of 20%. The total consideration PDL paid to the Company was $20,800,000 (the “Funded Amount”), which included $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. On November 12, 2014, the Company paid PDL $30.3 million to fully extinguish the Royalty Contract. The Company has no further obligations under the Royalty Contract.

On November 12, 2014, the Company sold 643,382 shares of common stock for a total of $1.75 million to PDL (“PDL Equity Sale”) at a price of $2.72 per share pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement by and between the Company and PDL. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the PDL Equity Sale for general corporate purposes.

On November 12, 2014, (the “Signing Date”), AxoGen, as borrower, and AC, as guarantor, entered into a term loan agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”) with the lenders party thereto and Three Peaks Capital S.a.r.l. (“Three Peaks”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Oberland Capital Healthcare Master Fund LP (“Oberland”), as administrative and collateral agent for the lenders. Under the Term Loan Agreement, Three Peaks has agreed to lend to AxoGen a term loan of $25 million (the “Initial Term Loan”) which has a six year term and requires interest only payments and a final principal payment due at the end of the term. Interest is payable quarterly at 9.00% per annum plus the greater of LIBOR or 1.0% which as of November 13, 2014 (“the Initial Closing Date”) resulted in a 10% rate. Under certain conditions, AxoGen has the option to draw an additional $7 million (“Subsequent Borrowing” and, together with the Initial Term Loan, the “Term Loan”) during the period of April 1, 2016 through June 29, 2016 (the closing date of each such Subsequent Borrowing, a “Subsequent Closing Date” and, together with the Initial Closing Date, the “Closing Dates”) under similar terms and conditions. AxoGen has to maintain certain covenants including limiting new indebtedness, restriction of the payment of dividends and maintain certain levels of revenue. Three Peaks has a first perfected security interest in the assets of AxoGen.

In addition, AxoGen entered into a 10 year Revenue Interest Agreement (“Revenue Interest Agreement”) with Three Peaks. Royalty payments are based on a royalty rate of 3.75% of AxoGen’s revenues up to a maximum of $30 million in revenues in any 12 month period. In the event the Subsequent Borrowing is drawn, the royalty rate increases proportionally up to a maximum of 4.80%. AxoGen has to maintain certain covenants including those covenants under the Term Loan.

Under the Term Loan Agreement, AxoGen has the option at any time to prepay the Term Loan, in whole or in part, and the Royalty Interest Agreement, defined below, by making the following payment, and Three Peaks has the right to demand the following payment upon a change of control of AxoGen, sale of the majority of AxoGen’s assets or a material adverse change to AxoGen: (i) on or prior to the first anniversary of the applicable Closing Date, 120% of the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan or any portion being prepaid; (ii) after the first anniversary but no later than the second anniversary of the applicable Closing Date, 135% of the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan or any portion being prepaid ; (iii) after the second anniversary but no later than the third anniversary of the applicable Closing Date, 150% of the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan or any portion being prepaid; or (iv) after the third anniversary of the applicable Closing Date, an amount generating an Internal Rate of Return of 16.25% of the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan or any portion being prepaid. In all cases, the amount due is reduced by the sum of interest and principal previously paid and all amounts received under the Revenue Interest Agreement. In each such case AxoGen will also owe an additional 3% of the originally advanced Term Loan amount. Upon payment to Three Peaks, AxoGen would have no further obligations to Three Peaks under the Term Loan or the Revenue Interest Agreement.

In connection with the Term Loan Agreement, on the Signing Date, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, AC entered into a Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) with Three Peaks, pursuant to which each of the Company and AC grants to Three Peaks a security interest in certain collateral as specified in the Security Agreement to guarantee the payment in full when due of the Secured Obligations.

Also in connection with the above transaction, the Company sold 1,375,969 shares of common stock to Three Peaks for a total of $3.55 million (“Three Peaks Equity Sale”) at a price of $2.58 per share. Pursuant to the equity purchase provisions in the Three Peaks Term Loan Agreement, in the event that we sell prior to November 12, 2016 our securities at a lower price per share than the $2.58 per share paid by Three Peaks, or where the terms of such subsequent sale are otherwise more favorable, then in such case we have agreed to match the more favorable terms of such subsequent sale with respect to the shares purchased by Three Peaks. A subsequent sale does not include the issuance of securities or options to our employees, officers, directors or consultants pursuant to our approved employee option pool or any other employee stock purchase or option plan existing as of November 12, 2014.

The Company records interest using its best estimate of the effective interest rate. This estimate takes into account both the rate on the Term Loan Agreement and the rate associated with the 10 year Revenue Interest Agreement with Three Peaks. The effective interest rate is based on actual payments to date, projected future revenues and the projected royalty payments and the quarterly interest payments due on the Term Loan Agreement. From time to time, AxoGen 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. Determination of these assumptions is highly subjective and different assumptions could lead to materially different outcomes.

8. Stock Options

The Company granted stock options to purchase 269,500 shares of common stock pursuant to its 2010 Stock Incentive Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Stock-based compensation expense was $368,249 and $257,542 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Total future stock compensation expense related to nonvested awards is expected to be approximately $2,275,000 at March 31, 2015.

9. Public Offering of Common Stock

On February 5, 2015, AxoGen entered into the Underwriting Agreement with the Underwriter, in connection with the offering, issuance and sale (the “Offering”) of 4,728,000 shares of the Company’s common shares, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Shares”), at a price to the public of $2.75 per share. The Company also granted to the Underwriter a 30-day option to purchase up to an aggregate of 709,200 additional Common Shares to cover over-allotments, if any.

The Offering was made pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-195588) previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and pursuant to the prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus describing the terms of the Offering, dated February 5, 2015.

As of February 13, 2015, the Offering was completed with the sale of 5,437,200 Common Shares, which included the exercise of the over-allotment option, at $2.75 per share resulting in gross proceeds to AxoGen from the Offering of approximately $15.0 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by AxoGen estimated at approximately $1.4 million. The Common Shares were listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market.

10. Subsequent Events

Commercial Lease

On April 21, 2015, AxoGen Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of AxoGen, Inc. (“AxoGen” or the “Company”), entered into a Commercial Lease with Ja-Cole, L.P. (the “New Lease”) for property located in Burleson, Texas. The New Lease supersedes and replaces a current lease with Ja-Cole. Under the terms of the New Lease, AxoGen leased an additional 2,100 square feet of warehouse space that will be combined with its current 5,400 square feet of warehouse/office space in Burleson, Texas. The New Lease is for a three year term expiring April 21, 2018, renewable thereafter by agreement of the parties, at an annual cost of $60,000 per year. The expanded Burleson facility will house raw material storage and product distribution and allow expansion space as required for AxoGen operations.

Processing Agreement

Under an Amended and Restated Nerve Tissue Processing Agreement (the “Agreement”) with LifeNet Health, AxoGen processes and packages Avance® Nerve Graft using its employees and equipment located at LifeNet Health, Virginia Beach, Virginia. As a result of business requirements of LifeNet Health and their need for additional space on April 16, 2015 they notified AxoGen that it will need to transition out of the Virginia Beach facility on or before February 27, 2016 and therefore is terminating the Agreement effective February 27, 2016. AxoGen’s planning has included the establishment of manufacturing space under its full control to meet its needs as it continues to expand its revenues. AxoGen is formalizing its plans and has sufficient time to establish new manufacturing space under its control that will meet its future needs.

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”).

OVERVIEW

AxoGen, Inc. (NASDAQ: AXGN) is a leading medical technology company dedicated to peripheral nerve repair. The company has created and licensed a unique combination of patented nerve repair technologies to change the standard of care for patients with peripheral nerve injuries. AxoGen’s portfolio of regenerative medicine products is available in the United States, Canada and several other countries and includes Avance® Nerve Graft, an off-the-shelf processed human nerve allograft for bridging severed nerves without the comorbidities associated with an additional surgical site, AxoGuard® Nerve Connector, a porcine submucosa extracellular matrix (“ECM”) coaptation aid for tensionless repair of severed nerves, 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 and the AxoTouch™ Two-Point Discriminator, a tool useful for measuring sensation after a nerve injury, following the progression of a repaired nerve, and during the evaluation of a person with a possible nerve injury, such as nerve division or nerve compression.

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 the first quarter of 2015 compared to 2014 primarily as a result of sales to new accounts, increased product usage by existing accounts and a price increase effective March 1, 2015. 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 Months Ended March 31, 2015 and 2014

Revenues

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2015 increased 57.8% to approximately $4,951,000 as compared to approximately $3,138,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. This increase was primarily a result of increased product usage by existing accounts and sales to new accounts. In addition, AxoGen recognized approximately $142,000 of grant revenue in the first quarter of 2015 as compared to approximately $62,000 in grant revenue in first quarter 2014.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2015 increased 62.8% to approximately $3,968,000 as compared to approximately $2,437,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Such increase in aggregate dollars was primarily attributable to the increased revenues in the first quarter of 2015. Gross margin improved to 80.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to 77.7% for the same period in 2014 as a result of manufacturing efficiencies, a price increase in March 2015 and favorable product mix.

Costs and Expenses

Total cost and expenses increased 20.0% to approximately $6,512,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to approximately $5,428,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. These increases were primarily due to increased sales and marketing activities.

Sales and marketing expenses increased 44.5% to approximately $3,933,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to approximately $2,721,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. This increase was primarily due to an expansion of our direct sales force, and increased support for both our direct sales force

Table of Contents

and independent distributors, sales training and surgeon education. As a percentage of revenues, sales and marketing expenses were 79.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to 86.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2014. 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 of approximately $1,909,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were flat as compared to approximately $1,895,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses were 38.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to 60.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2014. 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 decreased approximately 17.5% to approximately $671,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to approximately $813,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Research and development includes AxoGen’s product development, clinical efforts substantially focused on its biological license application (“BLA”) for the Avance® Nerve Graft and surgeon education. This activity varies from quarter to quarter due to the timing of certain projects. A substantial portion of the research and development expenses in 2014 and thus far in 2015, relate to expenditures for such clinical activity including preparation for the start of the BLA study during 2015. Although AxoGen’s products are developed for sale in their current use, it does conduct limited research and product development efforts focused on new products and new applications to existing products. AxoGen has become more active in pursuing research grants to support this research. This AxoGen product pipeline development also contributed to a portion of the research and development expenses in 2015, with grant revenue offsetting a portion of this activity.

Other Income and Expenses

Interest expense decreased 16.5% to approximately $995,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to approximately $1,191,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. This decrease was due to the difference in the interest related to the Revenue Interest Agreement with Three Peaks as compared to the interest related to the Royalty Contract and the interest accrued related to PDL. As a result of the accounting treatment for the Three Peaks and the PDL transaction, interest expense included approximately $183,000 and $892,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, of non-cash expense that is based upon the terms of the Three Peaks and PDL transactions and increases in AxoGen revenues. Other than the $183,000 and $892,000 non-cash expense, the remaining $812,000 and $299,000 in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, is related to cash paid for interest on the Term Loan Agreement and note payable.

Interest expense—deferred financing costs decreased 33.3% to approximately $34,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to approximately $51,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. This decrease is primarily due to lower deferred financing cost amortization associated with the Three Peaks agreement from applying the effective interest rate method as compared to the PDL agreement from applying the effective interest rate method. Additionally, the deferred financing fees associated with the Three Peaks agreement are spread out over 10 years compared to 8 years for the PDL agreement.

Income Taxes

The Company had no income tax expenses or income tax benefit for each of the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 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 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. The Royalty Contract had a term of eight years. Under the Royalty Contract, PDL received royalty payments based on a royalty rate of 9.95% of the Company’s Net Revenues, subject to certain agreed upon minimum payment requirements, which were anticipated to be approximately $1.3 to $2.5 million per quarter to begin in the fourth quarter of 2014 through the third quarter of 2020 as provided in the Royalty Contract. The Company recorded interest using its best estimate of the effective interest rate accruing interest using the specified internal rate of return of the Put Option of 20%. The total consideration PDL paid to the Company was $20,800,000 (the “Funded Amount”), which included $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. On November 12, 2014, the Company paid PDL $30.3 million to fully extinguish the Royalty Contract. The Company has no further obligations under the Royalty Contract.

As a result of the accounting treatment for the PDL transaction, interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 included approximately $892,000 of non-cash expense that was to be paid in the future based upon the terms of the PDL transaction and increases in AxoGen revenues. The $892,000 of non-cash expense was derived from taking the effective interest on the put in 2014 on the PDL agreement less the actual cash payment made to PDL for the quarter. Other than the $892,000 non-cash expense, the remaining $299,000 in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 is related to cash paid for interest on the note payable with PDL.

applicable Closing Date, 120% of the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan or any portion being prepaid; (ii) after the first anniversary but no later than the second anniversary of the applicable Closing Date, 135% of the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan or any portion being prepaid ; (iii) after the second anniversary but no later than the third anniversary of the applicable Closing Date, 150% of the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan or any portion being prepaid; or (iv) after the third anniversary of the applicable Closing Date, an amount generating an Internal Rate of Return of 16.25% of the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan or any portion being prepaid. In all cases, the amount due is reduced by the sum of interest and principal previously paid and all amounts received under the Revenue Interest Agreement. In each such case AxoGen will also owe an additional 3% of the originally advanced Term Loan amount. Upon payment to Three Peaks, AxoGen would have no further obligations to Three Peaks under the Term Loan or the Revenue Interest Agreement.

As a result of the accounting treatment for the Three Peaks transaction, interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 included approximately $183,000 of non-cash expense that is expected to be paid in the future based upon the terms of the Three Peaks transaction and increases in AxoGen revenues. The $183,000 of non-cash expense was derived from taking the imputed interest on the Three Peaks agreement less the actual cash payment made to Three Peaks for the quarter. Other than the $183,000 non-cash expense, the remaining $812,000 in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 is related to cash paid for interest on the Term Loan with Three Peaks.

The Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures at March 31, 2015.

Public Offering of Common Stock

Table of Contents

Cash Flow Information

AxoGen had working capital of approximately $22.58 million and a current ratio of 7.57 at March 31, 2015, compared to working capital of $11.97 million and a current ratio of 5.89 at December 31, 2014. The increase in working capital and the current ratio at March 31, 2015 as compared to December 31, 2014 was primarily due to the public offering in February. In February 2015 AxoGen completed a public offering of 5,437,200 shares of Common Stock at $2.75 per share resulting in gross proceeds to AxoGen from the offering of approximately $15.0 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by AxoGen estimated at approximately $1.4 million. 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, continued adoption of our products by surgeons and growth of our revenues, continued expansion and development of our direct sales force, expenses associated with our professional education programs, maintaining our gross margins, expenses related to our facilities for production and distribution of products and general market conditions. AxoGen could face increasing capital needs which could be substantial depending on the extent to which AxoGen is unable to increase revenues.

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 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 three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company had a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $11,040,000 as compared to a net decrease of cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3,262,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2014. The Company’s principal sources and uses of funds are explained below:

Cash used in operating activities

The Company used approximately $2,514,000 of cash for operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to using approximately $3,151,000 of cash for operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2014. This decrease in cash used in operating activities is primarily attributable to the increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses offset by the net loss generated in the three months ended March 31, 2015, along with an increase in our accounts receivable and inventory.

Cash used for investing activities

Investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 used approximately $38,000 of cash as compared to using approximately $204,000 of cash in the three months ended March 31, 2014. This decrease in use is principally attributable to the non recurrence of purchases of certain fixed assets for the expansion of the headquarters office and the opening of the worldwide distribution facility in Burleson, Texas that occurred in the period in 2014.

Cash provided by financing activities

Financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2015 provided approximately $13,592,000 of cash as compared to providing approximately $92,000 of cash in the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase

Table of Contents

was due to proceeds received from the public offering consummated in February 2015 compared to the exercise of stock options in the same period of 2014.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

AxoGen does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
