Orthofix reported 1Q22 orthopedic sales of $106.4 million, +0.8% vs. 1Q21. The company experienced a significant slowdown in procedure volume due to COVID restrictions and hospital staffing shortages, but March brought a strong recovery. A low-single-digit decline in complex spine procedures in the first quarter slowed growth, but was partially offset by international distributor stocking orders.
Strategically, Orthofix is focusing on new product innovation and bolstering its commercial channel. According to CEO Jon Serbousek, portfolio investments will be focused on enabling technologies, alternative surgical site development and single-use sterile pack product technologies to drive customer value.
The company expects supply chain volatility to persist through 2023 and leveraged its balance sheet to purchase a year’s worth of key supplies. Orthofix CFO Doug Rice said, “We have taken the step of purchasing raw materials, including items such as titanium and semiconductor chips to ensure a year’s worth of supply. We believe this is an effective use of our strong balance sheet and is a prudent step that will ensure that we meet customer demand.”
For the full-year 2022, Orthofix expects mid-single-digit growth with orthopedic sales in the range of $475 million to $490 million. The guidance assumes a modest COVID overhang in the second quarter and revenue acceleration in the second half of the year partially offset by continuing staffing shortages.
