Artivion Reports Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Second Quarter and Recent Business Highlights:
Achieved revenue of $80.3 million in the second quarter 2022 versus $76.1 million in the second quarter of 2021, an increase of 6% on a GAAP basis and 9% on a non-GAAP constant currency basis
Enrolled first patients in U.S. AMDS clinical trial, PERSEVERE
Completed on-site facility inspections for BioGlue CE Mark renewal

ATLANTA, GA – (August 4, 2022) – Artivion, Inc. (NYSE: AORT), a leading cardiac and vascular surgery company focused on aortic disease, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

“During the second quarter we made substantial progress on each of our key three-year strategic growth initiatives. We delivered year-over-year revenue growth of 6% on a GAAP basis and 9% on a non-GAAP constant currency basis. These results were driven primarily by 23% growth in aortic stent graft revenue and 12% growth in On-X revenue, both on a constant currency basis. We also executed internationally, delivering 38% revenue growth on a constant currency basis in Asia Pacific and 59% revenue growth in Latin America. In those regions, we continue to work to further expand our commercial footprint and secure additional regulatory approvals. Importantly, we grew revenue 10% year-over-year on a constant currency basis through the first half of 2022. We expect our strong momentum to continue through the remainder of the year as we remain focused on executing on our key objectives,” said Pat Mackin, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Mackin added, “We also made good progress in advancing our product pipeline, which is expected to drive growth in both the near and long term. We continue to anticipate FDA PMA approval for PROACT Mitral and for PerClot this year. Meanwhile, we have now enrolled four patients in the PERSEVERE trial to secure FDA approval for AMDS, a simple, elegant stent graft

solution to treat aortic arch disease. We also made significant progress toward completion of enrollment in our PROACT Xa trial, which we believe will revolutionize the use of mechanical heart valves in the United States and ultimately around the world.”
Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Total revenues for the second quarter of 2022 were $80.3 million, reflecting an increase of 6% on a GAAP basis and 9% on a non-GAAP constant currency basis, both compared to the second quarter of 2021.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2022 was ($4.3) million, or ($0.11) per fully diluted common share, compared to net loss of ($2.2) million, or ($0.06) per fully diluted common share for the second quarter of 2021. Non-GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2022 was ($1.3) million, or ($0.03) per fully diluted common share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $4.8 million, or $0.12 per fully diluted common share for the second quarter of 2021. Net loss in the second quarter of 2022 includes pretax losses related to foreign currency revaluation of $3.8 million.

2022 Financial Outlook
Artivion continues to expect constant currency revenue growth of between 9% and 11% for the full year 2022 as compared to the full year 2021.
The Company's financial performance for 2022 and future periods is subject to the risks identified below.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures 
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP EBITDA, and non-GAAP general, administrative, and marketing expenses. Investors should consider this non-GAAP information in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with US GAAP. In addition, this non-GAAP financial information may not be the same as similar measures presented by other companies. The Company's non-GAAP revenues are adjusted for the impact of changes in currency exchange. The Company’s non-GAAP net income; non-GAAP EBITDA; and non-GAAP general, administrative, and marketing results exclude (as applicable) depreciation and amortization expense; interest income and expense; stock-based compensation expense; business development, integration, and severance income or expense; loss or gain on foreign currency revaluation; income tax expense or benefit; corporate rebranding expense; and non-cash interest expense. The Company generally uses non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate management's review of the operational performance of the company and as a basis for strategic planning. Company management believes that these non-GAAP presentations provide useful information to investors regarding unusual non-operating transactions; the operating expense structure of the Company's existing and recently acquired operations, without regard to its on-going efforts to acquire additional complementary products and businesses and the transaction and integration expenses incurred in connection with recently acquired and divested product lines; and the operating expense structure excluding fluctuations resulting from foreign currency revaluation and stock-based compensation expense. The Company believes it is useful to exclude certain expenses because such amounts in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of its business operations or can vary significantly between periods as a result of factors such as impact of recent acquisitions non-cash expense related to amortization of previously acquired tangible and intangible assets and any related adjustments to their carrying values. The Company has adjusted for the impact of changes in currency exchange from certain revenues to evaluate comparable product growth rates on a constant currency basis. The Company does, however, expect to incur similar types of expenses and currency exchange impacts in the future, and this non-GAAP financial
Page 2 of 10


information should not be viewed as a statement or indication that these types of expenses will not recur. Company management encourages investors to review the Company's consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety, including the reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP financial measures.
Webcast and Conference Call Information
The Company will hold a teleconference call and live webcast later today, August 4, 2022, at 4:30 p.m. ET to discuss the results, followed by a question and answer session.

Such forward-looking statements reflect the views of management at the time such statements are made.

These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, estimates, and assumptions that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations, including that the benefits anticipated from the Ascyrus Medical LLC transaction and Endospan agreements may not be achieved; the benefits anticipated from our clinical trials may not be achieved or achieved on our anticipated timeline; our products may not be able to consistently retain their existing regulatory approvals or special regulatory approvals in order to be commercialized; products in our pipeline may not receive regulatory approval at all or receive regulatory approval on our anticipated timelines; our products that obtain regulatory approval may not be adopted by the market as much as we anticipate or at all; and the continued effects of COVID-19, including new COVID-19 variants, and continued hospital staffing shortages could adversely impact our results.
