ALACHUA and TAMPA, FL – August 5, 2025 – Axogen, Inc. (NASDAQ: AXGN), a global leader in developing and marketing innovative surgical solutions for the restoration of peripheral nerve function, today reported financial results and business highlights for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.
Second Quarter Financial Results
•Second quarter revenue was $56.7 million, an 18.3% increase compared to the second quarter of 2024, and a 16.7% increase over the first quarter of 2025.
•For the second quarter of 2025, gross margin was 74.2%, up from 73.8% for the second quarter of 2024, and up from 71.9% in the first quarter of 2025.
•Net income for the quarter was $0.6 million, or $0.01 per share, compared to a Net loss of $1.9 million, or $0.04 per share for the second quarter of 2024.
•Adjusted net income for the quarter was $5.7 million, or $0.12 per share, compared to $2.0 million, or $0.05 per share, for the second quarter of 2024.
•Adjusted EBITDA was $9.3 million for the quarter, compared to $5.6 million for the second quarter of 2024.
•The balance of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and investments at June 30, 2025, was $35.9 million, as compared to a balance of $39.5 million at December 31, 2024. Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and investments increased $7.8 million during the second quarter of 2025.
“We are delighted with our second quarter 2025 results and progress year to date implementing our strategic plan. Our strong revenue growth across the full range of our nerve repair solutions reflects the soundness of our market development strategies and strength and discipline of our commercial execution,” commented Michael Dale, CEO and Director of Axogen, Inc. “With the first half of the year behind us, we remain confident our market development objectives and business model optimization plans are the right priorities for advancing our business purpose to restore health and improve quality of life by making restoration of peripheral nerve function an expected standard of care.”
Summary of Business Highlights
•Second quarter 2025 revenue growth was broad-based, including double-digit growth from second quarter 2024 in all markets, which includes Extremities, Oral Maxillofacial & Head and Neck, and Breast.
•Expanded coverage and reimbursement for nerve repair for peripheral nerve injuries using synthetic conduits or allografts by an estimated 10 million new covered lives in 2025; bringing the total new lives covered in 2025 to approximately 17 million, which brings coverage amongst commercial payers to more than 55%.
•The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) accepted the filing of the Company’s Biologics License Application (“BLA”) for Avance® Nerve Graft on November 1, 2024, and assigned a Prescription Drug User Fee Act goal date of September 5, 2025. During the second quarter 2025, we completed the following regulatory milestones to support our anticipated approval in September 2025: the late-cycle meeting with the FDA, pre-licensing inspection, and sponsor inspection under the FDA’s Bioresearch Monitoring program.
2025 Financial Guidance
We are raising our revenue guidance to at least 17% growth, or $219 million for the full year. We continue to expect gross margin for the year to be in the range of 73% to 75%. This range reflects one-time costs, mainly related to an anticipated Avance® Nerve Graft BLA approval, which we expect will negatively impact gross margin by approximately 1%. Lastly, we reiterate that we expect to be net cash flow positive for the full year.

About Axogen
Axogen (AXGN) is the leading company focused specifically on the science, development and commercialization of technologies for peripheral nerve regeneration and repair. Axogen employees are passionate about providing the opportunity to restore nerve function and quality of life for patients with peripheral nerve injuries by providing innovative, clinically proven and economically effective repair solutions for surgeons and healthcare providers. Peripheral nerves provide the pathways for both motor and sensory signals throughout the body. Every day people suffer traumatic injuries or undergo surgical procedures that impact the function of their peripheral nerves. Physical damage to a peripheral nerve or the inability to properly reconnect peripheral nerves can result in the loss of muscle or organ function, the loss of sensory feeling, or the initiation of pain.
Axogen’s product portfolio includes Avance® Nerve Graft, a biologically active off-the-shelf processed human nerve allograft for bridging severed peripheral nerves without the comorbidities associated with a second surgical site; Axoguard Nerve Connector®, a porcine (pig) submucosa extracellular matrix (“ECM”) coaptation aid for tensionless repair of severed peripheral nerves; Axoguard Nerve Protector®, a porcine submucosa ECM product used to wrap and protect damaged peripheral nerves and reinforce the nerve reconstruction while minimizing soft tissue attachments; Axoguard HA+ Nerve Protector™, a porcine submucosa ECM base layer coated with a proprietary hyaluronate-alginate gel, a next-generation technology designed to enhance nerve gliding and provide short- and long-term protection for peripheral nerve injuries; Axoguard Nerve Cap®, a porcine submucosa ECM product used to protect a peripheral nerve end and separate the nerve from the surrounding environment to reduce the development of symptomatic or painful neuroma; and Avive+ Soft Tissue Matrix™, a multi-layer amniotic membrane allograft used to protect and separate tissues in the surgical bed during the critical phase of tissue healing. The Axogen portfolio of products is available in the United States, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain, South Korea and several other countries.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, we use the non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA, which measures earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and Adjusted EBITDA which further excludes noncash stock compensation expense. We also use the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted Net Income or Loss and Adjusted Net Income or Loss Per Common Share - diluted which excludes noncash stock compensation expense from Net Income or Loss and Net Income or Loss Per Common Share - diluted. These non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures should be read in conjunction with our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. The reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP should be carefully evaluated.
We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because (i) they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and (ii) they are used by our institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze the performance of our business.
