Bioventus reported 3Q22 orthopedic revenue of $115.8 million, +20.5% compared to the third quarter of 2021.
The company lowered its 2022 guidance by $25.5 million, to a revised range of $527 million to $532 million. Reimbursement changes to hyaluronic acid (HA) therapies combined with salesforce realignment and supply chain issues in its Restorative Therapies business caused the reduction.
Bioventus’ Gelsyn three-injection HA treatment sustained a significant impact from Medicare’s mid-2022 reimbursement change to average selling pricing reporting.
Durolane, the company’s single-injection treatment, remained unaffected by the change. However, Bioventus experienced volatility in its broader HA portfolio due to customer ordering patterns and higher-than-normal rebate claims due to a private payor error.
The company still sees a clear path to the number one market position in HA treatments. Bioventus CEO Ken Reali cited four factors: exclusive and preferred payer contracts, a complete portfolio, Durolane’s clinical differentiation and the largest salesforce in the space.
After an acquisitive year that brought Bioness, Misonix and CartiHeal into the fold, Bioventus is pausing further M&A activity. Additionally, the company undertook a comprehensive review of spending to carefully manage its resources.
