Amedica Corporation Reports Second Quarter
2014 Financial Results
Proprietary Silicon Nitride Ceramic Product Revenue Increases 51% Over Second
Quarter 2013
SALT LAKE CITY, August 7, 2014 — Amedica Corporation (Nasdaq:AMDA), a commercial biomaterial company focused on using its silicon nitride technology platform to develop, manufacture and sell a broad range of medical devices, today announced financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014.
“The first half of this year was marked by several significant milestones for Amedica,” said Eric Olson, CEO and President of Amedica. “The positive market acceptance of our second generation silicon nitride products, along with the successful refinance of our credit facility, and the strong improvement in our manufacturing volumes and efficiencies have enabled us to enhance our focus on offering new and transformative products in the spine and other medical device markets.”
Revenue for the Company’s proprietary silicon nitride ceramic products during the second quarter of 2014 increased by 51% as compared with the second quarter of 2013, to $2.7 million. The increase was primarily due to increased market adoption of the second generation Valeo spinal interbody devices and the Company’s focus on its core silicon nitride technology.
For the six months ended June 30, 2014, total product revenue increased by 3% over the six months ended June 30, 2013, to $11.6 million, from $11.3 million in the prior year. This was primarily attributable to a 46% increase in silicon nitride ceramic product revenue over the prior-year period. Silicon nitride ceramic product revenue grew $1.6 million during the first half of 2014 to $5.2 million.
Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2014 was ($2.7) million, compared to ($1.9) million for the second quarter of 2013. Primarily as a result of a non-cash stock compensation expense of approximately $7.4 million, overall net loss for the second quarter of 2014 was $13.2 million, compared to $3.1 million in the prior-year second quarter.
“Our recent refinance activities marked a significant milestone for Amedica,” added Jay Moyes, Chief Financial Officer of Amedica. “The repayment of the GE credit facility will eliminate required principal payments in 2014, and enables us to enhance our focus on offering new and transformative products in the spine and other medical device markets.”

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
To supplement our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive net loss which are presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP measures of components of financial performance. Although not a measure of financial performance under GAAP, adjusted EBITDA is provided for the use of investors in understanding our operating results and is not prepared in accordance with, nor does it serve as an alternative to GAAP measures, and may be materially different from similar measures used by other companies. We define “adjusted EBITDA” as our earnings before deductions for interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, change in fair value of derivative liabilities and loss on extinguishment of debt. While not a substitute for information prepared in accordance with GAAP, management believes that this information is helpful for investors to more easily understand our operating financial performance. Management also believes these measures may better enable an investor to form views of our potential financial performance in the future. This measure has limitations as an analytical tool, and investors should not consider this measure in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
