Amedica Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2013 Financial Results

  • Fourth Quarter 2013 Total Revenue was $5.7 Million, an Increase of 8% Compared with $5.3 Million in Third Quarter 2013
  • Silicon Nitride Product Sales Increased by 34% in Fourth Quarter 2013
  • Full Year 2013 Revenue was $22.3 Million

SALT LAKE CITY, March 31, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amedica Corporation (Nasdaq:AMDA), a biomaterials company, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2013.

Eric Olson, President and CEO of Amedica Corporation, said, "We have made substantial progress in moving the Company forward over the past year. Specifically, we increased our Silicon Nitride sales with the commercial launch of our Generation II Valeo interbody devices and brought others closer to market launch."

Product revenues for the fourth quarter of 2013 were $5.7 Million, an increase of 8% over the third quarter's $5.3 Million, primarily due to increased sales efforts. The increase in revenues was due to increased sales efforts. The net income in the fourth quarter was $662,000 or $0.87 per share. This compares with a loss of $2.3 Million or $0.24 per share in the Third Quarter of 2013.

Full year 2013 revenues were $22.3 Million, slightly lower than the $23.1 Million in 2012. However, it is important to note that the company increased silicon nitride sales by 15% in 2013. The difference is attributable to the focus during 2013 on bringing forward the Company's proprietary Silicon Nitride product line and de-emphasizing the older product lines.

The Net Loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $8.3 Million, a reduction in net loss of 76%, compared with the Net Loss for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Cash and cash equivalents were $2.3 Million at the end of the year; however the Company has since launched an Initial Public Offering, which netted approximately $15.4 Million in proceeds.

Jay Moyes, Chief Financial Officer, commenting on the financial results, said, "2013 saw great progress in moving the Company toward profitability, with decreasing losses in each of the first three quarters, and a net profit for the fourth quarter. The Company is focused on bringing new proprietary Silicon Nitride products to market, growing revenues and increasing the bottom line."
