Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
- The Company
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). These financial statements include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of all wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Nature of the Business
AVITA Medical and its subsidiaries (collectively, “AVITA Medical” or the “Company”) is a leading therapeutic acute wound care company delivering transformative solutions. The Company’s technologies are designed to optimize skin restoration procedures, effectively accelerating patient healing and recovery. The Company’s solutions improve the healing outcomes for patients with traumatic injuries and surgical repairs, addressing critical healing needs that arise from unpredictable and life-changing events. At the forefront of the Company’s portfolio is the patented and proprietary RECELL® System (“RECELL System” or “RECELL”), approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) for the treatment of thermal burn wounds and full-thickness skin defects, and for repigmentation of stable depigmented vitiligo lesions. RECELL harnesses the regenerative properties of a patient’s own skin to create an autologous skin cell suspension, Spray-On Skin™ Cells, delivering a transformative solution at the point of care. This breakthrough technology serves as the catalyst for a new treatment paradigm enabling improved clinical outcomes. In September 2018, the FDA granted PMA to the RECELL System for use in the treatment of acute thermal burns in patients eighteen years and older. Following receipt of the original PMA, the Company commenced commercialization of the RECELL System in January 2019 in the United States. In June 2021, the FDA approved the expanded use of the RECELL System in combination of meshed autografting for acute full-thickness thermal wounds in pediatric and adult patients. In February 2022, the FDA approved a PMA supplement for the RECELL Autologous Cell Harvesting Device, an enhanced ease-of-use device aimed at providing clinicians a more efficient user experience and simplified workflow. On June 7, 2023, the FDA approved a PMA supplement for full-thickness skin defects based on results of the Company's pivotal trial for soft tissue repair and reconstruction. Following this approval, the Company commenced a commercial launch on June 8, 2023.
The single-use RECELL Autologous Cell Harvesting Device (“RECELL Ease-of-Use” or “RECELL EOU”) is approved by the FDA for the treatment of thermal burn wounds and full-thickness skin defects, and repigmentation of stable depigmented vitiligo lesions. The Company's next-generation device, RECELL GO™ Autologous Cell Harvesting Device (“RECELL GO”), is FDA-approved to treat thermal burn wounds and full-thickness skin defects. RECELL GO introduces enhanced features that streamline the preparation of Spray-On Skin Cells and improves workflow efficiency in the operating room. It consists of two components: a multi-use, AC-powered RECELL GO Processing Device (the “RPD”) and a RECELL GO Preparation Kit (the “RPK”). The RPK contains the single-use RECELL GO Cartridge, disaggregation head, RECELL Enzyme™, and other components. The RPD provides the control for the RPK, manages the pressure applied to disaggregate the donor skin cells, and precisely regulates the incubation times of the RECELL Enzyme and solutions to optimize cell yield and promote cell viability.
On June 16, 2023, the FDA approved a PMA application for the repigmentation of stable depigmented vitiligo lesions. Following FDA approval, the Company established a framework, which consists of three steps, to secure reimbursement for vitiligo. The first step is to conduct the 100-patient post market study called TONE. TONE will evaluate repigmentation using the RECELL device and will also seek to measure the improvement in the quality-of-life following treatment of stable vitiligo with RECELL. TONE, including publication, is expected to be complete by the end of 2024. The second step is to initiate a health economics study to capture the longitudinal healthcare costs for a vitiligo patient, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2024. The purpose of these studies is to demonstrate how treating vitiligo with RECELL can significantly reduce the lifetime healthcare cost of patients. As a result, commercial payors will stand to benefit economically by providing coverage of RECELL for the repigmentation of stable depigmented vitiligo lesions. Conversations with commercial payors will begin during the first quarter of 2025. Commercial coverage will be rolled out on a tiered basis based on state and geographic factors. The Company anticipates that the initial phase of reimbursement coverage will likely begin in the fourth quarter of 2025 with appropriately sized commercial support as coverage is established.
Additionally, on June 29, 2023, the Company submitted a PMA supplement to the FDA for RECELL GO™. RECELL GO maintains the FDA Breakthrough Device designation from predecessor devices. On September 29, 2023, the Company received notice from the FDA that additional information regarding the PMA is required for the continuation of a substantive review for RECELL GO. This request, which is not unique to the Breakthrough Device Program, placed the application file on hold while the Company addressed the FDA's questions. A category of questions posed by the FDA required additional in-house testing. The Company submitted the complete response to the FDA on February 28, 2024. On May 29, 2024, the FDA approved the premarket approval PMA supplement for RECELL GO. Following this approval, the Company shipped the first RECELL GO order on May 30, 2024, to accommodate the first case for its use on May 31, 2024.
In February 2019, the Company entered into a collaboration with COSMOTEC, an M3 Group company, to market and distribute the RECELL System in Japan. Under the terms of the agreement, AVITA Medical will supply the RECELL product, and COSMOTEC will be the sole distributor of the product in Japan. The Company worked with COSMOTEC to advance its application for approval of the RECELL System in Japan pursuant to PMDA. In February 2022, COSMOTEC’s application for regulatory approval was approved by the PMDA with labeling for burns only. In September 2022, COSMOTEC commercially launched RECELL in Japan following Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare approval of reimbursement pricing.
The Company also holds the right to market, sell, and distribute PermeaDerm®, a biosynthetic wound matrix, in the United States under the terms of an exclusive multi-year distribution agreement with Stedical Scientific, Inc. (“Stedical”) (the “Stedical Agreement”). In July 2024, the Company entered into an exclusive multi-year development and distribution agreement with Collagen Matrix, Inc. dba Regenity Biosciences (“Regenity”) (the “Regenity Agreement”). Following 510(k) approval, Regenity will manufacture and supply Cohealyx™, a unique collagen-based dermal matrix, and the Company will hold the exclusive marketing, sales, and distribution rights to this product under its private label in the U.S., and potentially in countries in the European Union, as well as in Australia and Japan.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception and has an accumulated deficit of $359.8 million as of December 31, 2024. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company used $48.9 million and $38.0 million of cash, respectively, in its operating activities. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $35.9 million. Historically, the Company has funded its operations principally through the sales of its products, issuance of equity securities, and debt financing.
The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the basis of the Company continuing as a going concern for the next 12 months. Management believes that the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities will allow the Company to continue its planned operations for at least the next 12 months from the date of the issuance of these Consolidated Financial Statements.
In connection with the Long-term debt described in Note 6, the Company will need to be in compliance with a minimum trailing twelve month net revenue (see Note 18 for amendment providing for lowered revenue covenants) at the end of each quarter and maintain a minimum quarterly cash and cash equivalents balance. If the Company cannot generate sufficient revenue in the future or maintain the cash balance, the Company may not be in compliance with the covenants and additional repayments may be necessary or the lender may call the debt. As of December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants.
- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The ASU expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly reviewed by the Chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. The ASU also allows, in addition to the measure that is most consistent with U.S. GAAP, the disclosure of additional measures of segment profit or loss that are used by the CODM in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. All disclosure requirements under ASU 2023-07 are also required for public entities with a single reportable segment. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 during the year-ended December 31, 2024. For further details refer to Note 11.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments require (i) enhanced disclosures in connection with an entity's effective tax rate reconciliation and (ii) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts (including the stand-alone selling price (“SSP”) for the RPD, allowance for credit losses, reserves for inventory excess and obsolescence, carrying value of long-lived assets, the useful lives of long-lived assets, accounting for marketable securities, income taxes, fair value of debt, fair value of warrants and stock-based compensation) and related disclosures. Estimates have been prepared based on the current and available information. However, actual results could differ from estimated amounts.
Foreign Currency Translation and Foreign Currency Transactions
The financial position and results of operations of the Company’s operating non-U.S. subsidiaries are generally determined using the respective local currency as the functional currency of that subsidiary. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at the exchange rate in effect at each period end. Income statement accounts are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period. Adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from period to period are included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company’s non-operating subsidiaries that use the U.S. Dollar as their functional currency remeasure monetary assets and liabilities at exchange rates in effect at the end of each period and nonmonetary assets and liabilities at historical rates. Gains and losses resulting from these remeasurements are included in earnings in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Gains and losses for remeasurement were minimal for the year-ended December 31, 2024 and $22,000 for the year-ended December 31, 2023.
The Company records certain revenues and operating expenses in foreign currencies. These revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. Dollars based on the average exchange rate for the reporting period. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. Dollars at the exchange rate in effect as of the balance sheet date. For the years-ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred losses of approximately $21,000 and $15,000, respectively, included in Other income, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Comprehensive Loss
The components of comprehensive loss consist of net loss, foreign currency translation adjustments (“CTA”) from its subsidiaries not using the U.S. dollar as their functional currency, unrealized gains and losses in investments available for sale and changes in fair value due to instrument specific credit risk on the debt. During the year-ended December 31, 2023, the Company liquidated the Company's foreign subsidiaries. In accordance with ASC 830-30, Foreign Currency Matters(“ASC 830”), the CTA was reclassified into earnings. As such, the Company reclassified $9.4 million from comprehensive loss to earnings for the winding down of the foreign subsidiaries. The amount is recorded in Other income, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Reorganization of Foreign Subsidiaries and Deed of Cross Guarantee
During the year-ended December 31, 2023, the business activities of AVITA Medical Pty Limited, AVITA Medical Europe Limited, Visiomed Group Pty Ltd, C3 Operations Pty Ltd and Infamed Pty Ltd were liquidated. AVITA Medical Americas LLC was transferred from C3 Operations Pty Ltd to be directly held by the Company in preparation for each of AVITA Medical Pty Limited, AVITA Medical Europe Limited, Visiomed Group Pty Ltd, C3 Operations Pty Ltd and Infamed Pty Ltd to be de-registered during the year-ended December 31, 2024. In March 2024, the Company’s deed of cross guarantee, dated June 29, 2020, with each of its Australian wholly-owned subsidiaries was revoked as part of the Company’s reorganization of foreign subsidiaries. In January 2025, the Company was notified that the de-registration of each of its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries listed above was completed.
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates revenues primarily from:
The sale of RECELL EOU, RPK, and PermeaDerm products to hospitals, other treatment centers, and distributors.
Maintenance fee received from BARDA to ensure first right of access to our inventory. In the prior year, the Company recorded service revenue for the emergency preparedness services provided to BARDA.
Lease revenue for the RPD.
The Company’s sale of the RECELL EOU and PermeaDerm products are accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue from contracts with customers(“ASC 606”). Revenue for the RECELL GO system is disaggregated between two accounting standards: (1) ASC 606 for the RPK and (2) ASC 842, Leases(“ASC 842”) for the RPD. Revenues from BARDA are accounted for under ASC 606, and are included in Sales revenues within the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
To determine revenue recognition for contracts that are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps:
Identify the contract with a customer
Identify the performance obligations
Determine the transaction price
Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations
Recognize revenue when/as a performance obligation(s) is(are) satisfied
In order for an arrangement to be considered a contract, it must be probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which it is entitled for goods or services to be transferred. The Company then assesses the goods or services promised within the contract to determine whether each promised good or service is a performance obligation. Performance obligations are promises in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer that (i) the customer can benefit from on its own or together with other readily available resources, and (ii) is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract.
The Company determines the transaction price based on the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive for providing the promised goods or services in the contract. Consideration may be fixed, variable, or a combination of both. At contract inception for arrangements that include variable consideration, the Company estimates the probability and extent of consideration it expects to receive under the contract utilizing either the most likely amount method or expected amount method, whichever best estimates the amount expected to be received. The Company then considers any constraints on the variable consideration and includes in the transaction price variable consideration to the extent it is deemed probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.
When accounting for a contract that contains multiple performance obligations, the Company must develop judgmental assumptions to determine the estimated SSP for each performance obligation identified in the contract. We utilize the observable SSP when available, which represents the price charged for the promised product or service when sold separately. When the SSP for our products or services are not directly observable, we determine the SSP using relevant information available and apply suitable estimation methods including, but not limited to, the cost-plus margin approach. The Company then allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the relative SSP and recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) control is transferred to the customer and the performance obligation is satisfied.
Most of the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation. As such, the Company recognizes revenue when its customers obtain control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is recognized net of volume discounts (variable consideration). For the Company’s contracts that have an original duration of one year or less, since contract inception and customer payment occur within the same period the Company does not consider the time value of money. Further, because of the short duration of these contracts, the Company has not disclosed the transaction price for the remaining performance obligations as of each reporting period or when the Company expects to recognize this revenue. The Company has further applied the practical expedient to exclude sales tax in the transaction price and expense contract acquisition costs such as commissions and shipping and handling expenses as incurred.
Revenue recognition for contracts that are within the scope of ASC 606 and ASC 842
The Company enters into contracts with customers where it receives consideration for the RPK and does not receive additional consideration for the RPD. As a result, judgment and analysis are required to determine the appropriate accounting, including: (i) whether the arrangement contains an embedded lease, and if so, whether such embedded lease is a sales-type lease or an operating lease, (ii) the amount of the total consideration, as well as variable consideration, (iii) the identification of the distinct performance obligations contained within the arrangement, (iv) how the arrangement consideration should be allocated to each performance obligation when multiple performance obligations exist, including the determination of standalone selling price, and (v) when to recognize revenue on the performance obligations.
For these contracts the Company considers the guidance under ASC 842 to determine if furnishing the RPD to the customer during the period of use establishes an embedded lease. To determine if the contract contains a lease, the Company evaluates the customer’s rights and ability to control the use of the underlying equipment throughout the contract term, including any equipment substitution rights retained by the Company. As the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time, the contract was determined to contain a lease. The Company then evaluated the lease classification based on the below:
Pursuant to ASC 842-30, the Company will classify a lease as a sales-type lease if: (i) the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term, (ii) the lease grants the lessee an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise, (iii) the lease term is for the major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset, (iv) the present value of the sum of the lease payments and any residual value guaranteed by the lessee that is not already reflected in the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all (90% or more) of the fair value of the underlying asset, or (v) the underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term.
Pursuant to ASC 842-30, when none of the sales-type lease classification criteria are met, a lessor would classify the lease as a direct financing lease when both of the following criteria are met: (i) the present value of the sum of the lease payments and any residual value guaranteed by the lessee that is not already reflected in the lease payments and/or any other third party unrelated to the lessor equals or exceeds substantially all (90% or more) of the fair value of the underlying asset and (ii) it is probable that the lessor will collect the lease payments plus any amount necessary to satisfy a residual value guarantee.
Pursuant to ASC 842-30, a lessor would classify a lease as an operating lease when none of the sales-type or direct financing lease classification criteria are met. Further, per ASC 842, a lessor is required to classify a lease with variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate as an operating lease at lease commencement if the lease would have been classified as a sales-type lease or a direct financing lease in accordance with the classification criteria of ASC 842 and the lessor would have otherwise recognized a loss at the lease commencement date.
In determining whether the lease components are related to a sales-type lease or an operating lease, the Company evaluates if the lease transfers ownership at the end of the lease term, purchase options, the lease term in relation to the economic life of the asset, if the lease payments exceed the fair value of the asset, and if the asset is of a specialized nature. The Company also evaluates if the lease results in a loss at the lease commencement date. Asthe lease term is for a major part of the economic life, the lease meets the classification criteria for sales-type lease. However, to determine if the contract results in a loss at the lease commencement date the Company evaluated the consideration in the contract. The consideration at lease commencement does not contain fixed payments, purchase options, penalty payments or residual value guarantees. The variable consideration is related to the sale of the RPK. As the variable lease payments are not dependent on an index or rate, the variable consideration is excluded from consideration at contract inception resulting in a loss at lease commencement. As such, the Company classifies the lease as an operating lease.
The contracts contain a lease component, the RPD, and a non-lease component, the RPK. The lease component will be accounted for under ASC 842 and the non-lease component will be accounted for under ASC 606, as described above. Per ASC 842, the consideration in the contract will be allocated to each separate lease component and non-lease component of the contract. The consideration is allocated to these lease and non-lease components based on the SSP (as described above for contracts within the scope of ASC 606). In accordance with ASC 842, variable lease payments will be recognized once the sale of the RPK occurs and control has transferred to the customer. Consideration will be allocated to the RPD and RPK based on the SSP. Consideration related to the RPD will be recognized as Lease revenue and consideration related to the RPK will be recognized as Sales revenues in accordance with guidance in ASC 606, as described above, upon transfer of control of the RPK, which generally occurs at the time the product is shipped or delivered depending on the customer's shipping terms.
Assets in the Company’s lease program are reported in Plant and equipment, net on its Consolidated Balance Sheets and are depreciated over the useful life of the RPD device's 200 uses, as indicated in the Instructions for Use that were approved by the FDA, and expensed as Costs of goods sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The RPD depreciation has a direct relationship to the number of RPK units sold. Based on customer usage, each purchase of an RPK unit results in a 1/200 depreciation to the RPD.
Contract Liabilities
The Company receives payments from customers based on contractual terms. Trade receivables are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. The Company satisfies its performance obligation on product sales when the products are shipped or delivered, depending on the terms of the sale. Payment terms on invoiced amounts are typically 30 days, and do not include a financing component. Contract liabilities are recorded when the Company receives payment prior to satisfying its obligation to transfer goods to a customer.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales related to products includes costs to manufacture or purchase, package, and ship the Company’s products. Costs also include relevant production overhead and depreciation and amortization. These costs are recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer and revenue is recognized.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for using the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income or loss in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits on the income tax expense line in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations. Accrued interest and penalties are included on the related tax liability line in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company reviews its uncertain tax positions regularly. An uncertain tax position represents the Company’s expected treatment of a tax position taken in a filed return, or planned to be taken in a future tax return or claim that has not been reflected in measuring income tax expense for financial reporting purposes. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position when it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained upon examination on the basis of the technical merits or the statute of limitations for the relevant taxing authority to examine and challenge the tax position has expired.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consists of cash held at deposit institutions, money market funds and short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company holds cash at deposit institutions in the amount of $2.3 million and $10.7 million, respectively. The Company holdsno cash denominated in foreign currencies in foreign institutions as of December 31, 2024 and $69,000 denominated in foreign currencies in foreign institutions as of December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company held cash equivalents in the amount of $11.7 million and $11.4 million, respectively.
Concentrations
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, trade receivables, BARDA receivables and other receivables. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, substantially all of the Company’s cash was deposited in accounts at financial institutions, and those deposited amounts may exceed federally insured limits and are subject to the risk of bank failure.
As of December 31, 2024, two commercial customers accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable. Customer A accounted for 21% and Customer B for 11% of accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2023, no single commercial customer accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable. For the years-ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, no single commercial customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenues.
BARDA revenues for the procurement of the RECELL system accounted forzero and 1% of total revenues for the years-ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. BARDA receivables for the procurement of the RECELL system and emergency preparedness accounted for 100%and 27% of BARDA receivables as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, BARDA receivables were $56,000 and $30,000, respectively,
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:
| ● | Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| ● | Level 2 — Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. |
| ● | Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques. |
The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. For further details refer to Note 4.
At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s financial instruments included cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, long-term debt and warrant liabilities. The carrying amounts of accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
Long-term Debt
The Company elected the fair value option (“FVO”) of accounting under ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments(“ASC 825”), to record the debt at fair value at issuance and subsequently remeasures to fair value each reporting period. The Company elected the fair FVO option of accounting of ASC 825 for the debt from the issuance date in order to not have to bifurcate any embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity's Own Equity(“ASC 815”). The debt accounted for under the FVO represents a financial instrument containing embedded features which would otherwise be required to be bifurcated from the debt-host and recognized as separate derivative liabilities subject to initial and subsequent periodic estimated fair value measurements under ASC 815. The Company has elected to present interest expense separately from changes in fair value and therefore will present interest expense associated with the debt as Interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Any changes in fair value caused by instrument-specific credit risk are presented separately in Accumulated other comprehensive lossin the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in fair value attributable to changes in credit risk are determined using observable option adjusted spreads for the issuer or comparable companies with similar credit ratings. All costs associated with the issuance of the Credit Agreement accounted for using the FVO were expensed upon issuance. The fair value of the debt is determined using a Monte Carlo Simulation and classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. For further details refer to Note 4.
Presentation and Valuation of the Warrants
Warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and were presented within Warrant liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The initial fair value of the warrant liability is measured at fair value at the date of issuance and are remeasured at each reporting date until settlement. Changes in the fair value of the warrant liability is recognized in Other income, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The Company established the fair value of the warrants utilizing the Black-Scholes pricing model. Assumptions used in the valuation are the price of the company stock, expected share-price volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility based on historical volatility that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected term of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates to remain atzero. The warrants were classified Level 3 fair value measurement, due to the use of unobservable inputs. For further details refer to Note 4.
Marketable Securities
The Company classifies all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase as cash equivalents and all highly liquid investments with stated maturities of greater than three months as marketable securities. The Company classifies marketable securities as short-term when they have remaining contractual maturities of one year or less from the balance sheet date, and as long-term when the investments have remaining contractual maturities of more than one year from the balance sheet date. Classification is determined at the time of purchase and re-evaluated each balance sheet date. Short-term marketable securities represent investment of cash available for current operations. The Company accounts for our marketable securities as available-for-sale securities.
All marketable securities, which consist of corporate debt securities, asset backed securities, U.S treasury and commercial paper are denominated in the U.S. dollars, have been classified as “available for sale”, and are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses, net of any related tax effects, are excluded from earnings and are included in other comprehensive income (loss) and reported as a separate component of stockholders equity until realized. Realized gains and losses on marketable securities are included in Other income, net, in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The cost of any marketable securities sold is based on the specific identification method. The amortized cost of marketable securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Interest on marketable securities is included in Other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In accordance with the Company’s investment policy, management invests to diversify credit risk and only invests in securities with high credit quality, including U.S. government securities, and the maximum final maturity from the date of purchase isthirty-seven months.
If necessary, the Company will recognize an allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities on an individual basis, and will no longer consider other than-temporary impairment or immediately reduce the cost basis of the investment provided that it is more likely than not that the security will be held to recovery or maturity. Further, the Company will recognize any improvements in estimated credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities immediately in earnings and reduce the existing allowance for credit losses. The Company will disaggregate its available-for-sale marketable securities into the following categories: commercial paper, corporate debt, government and agency securities and money market funds. The Company’s government and agency securities are U.S. treasury bonds, and U.S. agency bonds. The Company has analyzed government and agency securities and identified that both types of securities have similar risk characteristics in that they are traded infrequently and have contractual interest rates and maturity dates.
To evaluate for impairment, management reviews credit rating changes, securities trends, interest rate movements and unrealized loss at the security level of the Company’s available for sale debt securities. If any of these give rise to a potential credit concern, the Company performs a discounted cash flow analysis to determine the credit portion of the impairment. The discounted cash flow analysis will be performed either internally or through the assistance of a qualified third party. Once the credit component of the impairment is determined, the Company will record the impaired amount as an allowance to the available-for-sale debt securities balance and as a charge to other income in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations, not to exceed the amount of the unrealized loss. The Company assesses expected credit losses at the end of each reporting period and adjusts the allowance through Other income, net.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded net of customer allowances for expected credit losses. The Company estimates an allowance for expected credit losses (i.e., the inability of our customers to make required payments). These estimates are based on a combination of past experience and current trends. In estimating the allowance for expected credit losses, consideration is given to the current aging of receivables, a specific review for potential bad debts and an evaluation of historic write-offs. The resulting bad debt expense is included in Sales and marketing expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Receivables are written-off when deemed uncollectible. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the allowance for expected credit losses was $71,000 and $48,000, respectively.
A rollforward of the activity in the Company’s allowance for expected credit losses is as follows (in thousands):
| Year-ended | ||
|---|---|---|
| December 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |
| Balance at beginning of year | $48 | $24 |
| Additions: change to cost and expense | 23 | 24 |
| Deductions: write-offs, net of recovery | - | - |
| Balance at end of year | $71 | $48 |
BARDA Income and Receivables
The Company has concluded that grants under the BARDA grant are not within the scope of ASC 606, as they do not meet the definition of a contract with a “customer.” The Company has further concluded that Subtopic 958-605, Not-for-Profit-Entities-Revenue Recognition also does not apply, as the Company is a business entity and the grants are with governmental agencies or units. With respect to the BARDA grant, the Company considered the guidance in IAS 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance, by analogy. BARDA income and related receivables are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received, and all attaching conditions have been complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, the grant received is recognized as income over the period when the expense was incurred.
Inventory
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value and is reflected in cost of sales. Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition are accounted for at purchase cost on a first-in, first-out basis (“FIFO”). The Company capitalizes inventory costs associated with the Company’s products when, based on management’s judgment, future commercialization is considered probable and the future economic benefit is expected to be realized; otherwise, such costs are expensed as research and development. Inventory is evaluated for impairment periodically to identify inventory obsolescence when an inventory item’s cost basis is in excess of its net realizable value. These adjustments are based upon multiple factors, including inventory levels, projected demand, and product shelf life.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and costs to complete the sale.
Lessee Right-of-Use Assets and Lease Liabilities
The Company has operating leases for corporate office space, manufacturing and warehouse facility. The Company’s operating leases have remaining lease terms ofone year tofive years, some of which include options to renew the lease. At contract inception, the Company determines whether the contract is a lease or contains a lease. A contract contains a lease if the Company is both able to identify an asset and can conclude it has the right to control the identified asset for a period of time. Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to control an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the Company’s leases do not provide an explicit rate, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) based on the information available at commencement date in determining the discount rate used to present value lease payments. In determining the IBR, the Company considered its credit rating and current market interest rates. The IBR used approximates the interest that the Company would be required to pay for a collateralized loan over a similar term. The Company’s leases typically do not include any residual value guarantees or asset retirement obligations.
The Company’s lease terms are only for periods in which it has enforceable rights. A lease is no longer enforceable when both the lessee and the lessor each have the right to terminate the lease without permission from the other party with no more than an insignificant penalty. The Company has options to renew some of these leases forthree years after their expiration. The Company considers these options, which may be elected at the Company’s sole discretion, in determining the lease term on a lease-by-lease basis. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is primarily included in General and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for as a single lease component for all underlying asset classes. Some leases require variable payments for common area maintenance, property taxes, parking, insurance and other variable costs. The variable portion of lease payments is not included in operating lease assets or liabilities. Variable lease costs are expensed when incurred.
Plant and Equipment
The Company’s plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed based on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various asset classes, generally three toseven years. Depreciation for the leased RECELL GO RPD devices, which have a useful life of 200 uses, is computed based on customer usage as determined by orders placed for the sales of RPK units. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the life of the related asset or the remaining term of the lease. Costs associated with customized internal-use software systems that have reached the application development stage and technological feasibility are capitalized and include external direct costs utilized in developing or obtaining the applications and payroll and payroll-related expenses for employees who are directly associated with the application development. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
Intangible Assets
The Company maintains definite-lived intangible assets related to patents and a license initially measured at cost and amortized over estimated useful lives of approximately 2—19 years. The Company had capitalized patent costs of $770,000 and $616,000 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to regulatory approval of the RECELL System, and are being amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company also had a capitalized license of $5.0 million as of December 31, 2024, related to the Regenity Agreement and the 510(k) approval for Cohealyx. For further details see Note 12.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the estimated, undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, then an impairment is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its estimated fair value. Fair value is determined using the market, income, or cost approaches as appropriate for the asset. Any write-downs are treated as permanent reductions in the carrying amount of the asset and recognized as an operating loss. The Company didnot have any impairments in long-lived assets for the year-ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of compensation and employee benefits of sales and marketing personnel and related field sales organization, marketing events, advertising costs, travel, trade shows and other marketing materials. The Company expenses all selling and marketing costs as incurred. Advertising expenses were $539,000 and $398,000 for the years-ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses represent costs incurred to develop the Company’s products. Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and other personnel costs, clinical trial costs, regulatory costs and manufacturing costs for non-commercial products. The Company expenses all research and development costs in the periods in which they are incurred.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company records compensation expense for stock options and restricted stock units (“RSU”) based on the fair market value of the awards on the date of grant. The fair value of stock-based compensation awards is amortized over the vesting period of the award. Compensation expense for performance-based awards is evaluated based on the number of shares ultimately expected to vest, evaluated each reporting period and based on management’s expectations regarding the relevant performance criteria. The Black-Scholes option pricing model and Monte Carlo Simulation are used to estimate the fair value of the time-based and performance-based options, respectively. Under ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, the Company elected to account for forfeitures as they occur.
The following assumptions were used in the valuation of stock options.
Expected volatility – determined using the historical volatility using daily intervals over the expected term.
Expected dividends - based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and does not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future
Expected term – the expected term of the Company’s stock options for tenure only vesting has been determined utilizing the “simplified” method as described in the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 relating to share-based compensation. The simplified method was chosen because the Company has limited historical option exercise experience due to its short operating history of awards granted, with the first plan being established in 2016 which was primarily used for executive awards. Further, the Company does not have sufficient history of exercises in the U.S. market given the Company’s redomiciliation from Australia to the United States in 2020. The expected term of options with a performance condition or market condition was set to the contractual term of 10 years. The contractual term was used for options with a performance or market condition as these are primarily awarded to executives and the Company assumes that they will hold them longer than rank and file employees.
Risk-free interest rate – the risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant for a period approximately equal to the expected term of the award.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), features two six-month offering periods per year, running from June 1 to November 30 and December 1 to May 31. The ESPP provides eligible employees with an opportunity to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock through payroll deductions of up to 15% of their eligible compensation. Under the ESPP, employees can purchase the Company’s Common Stock at the lower of 85% of the fair value of shares on either the first or last day of the offering period. Amounts deducted and accumulated by the participant are recorded as ESPP liability and included in Accrued wages and fringe benefits in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. This amount is used to purchase shares of common stock at the end of each six-month purchase period. Once the shares are purchased, the ESPP liability is reclassified to stockholders’ equity on the purchase date. The ESPP is a compensatory plan accounted for under the expense recognition provision of share-based payment accounting standards. Compensation expense is recorded based on the fair market value at the grant date, which corresponds to the first day of each purchase period. The Black-Scholes option pricing model is used to estimate the grant date fair value.
Loss per Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, assuming potentially dilutive ordinary shares from option exercises, employee share awards, ESPP and warrants and other dilutive instruments that have been issued. For periods where the Company has presented a net loss, potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as they would be anti-dilutive. In accordance with ASC 710-10, Compensation – General(“ASC 710”), shares of common stock held by the rabbi trust are excluded from the denominator in the basic and diluted EPS calculations.
Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan Liability and Corporate-Owned Life Insurance Asset
The Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plan (the “NQDC plan”), which became effective in October 2021, allows highly compensated key employees to elect to defer a portion of their salary, bonus and RSU awards to later years. Management determined that the cash deferrals under the NQDC plan shall be accounted for similarly to a defined benefit plan under ASC 715, Compensation – Retirement Benefits(“ASC 715”), and should follow accounting treatment that is similar to a cash balance plan. Management determined that the employee portion and employer portion of the deferred compensation should be recognized as a compensation expense with a corresponding credit to deferred compensation liability. The matching contribution will be accrued over the vesting period oftwo years with 25% vesting in the first year and 75% vesting in the second year. Employees aged 55 or older immediately vest in employer matching contributions. The change in the liability between each reporting period is accounted for as compensation expense with a corresponding adjustment to deferred compensation liability. Upon distribution, the Company will record the distribution as a decrease to deferred compensation liability with a corresponding credit to cash. The Company funds the NQDC plan through a Corporate-Owned Life Insurance (“COLI”). Per the ASC 325-30-25-1A, Investments – Other, COLI is recorded as an asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as it does not meet the definition of a plan asset under ASC 715. The Company invests in COLI policies relating to its deferred compensation plan. Investments in COLI policies are recorded at their cash surrender values as of each balance sheet date. Changes in the cash surrender value during the period are recorded as a gain or loss in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in Other income, net.
Rabbi Trust
During April 2022, the Company established a rabbi trust for a select group of participants in which share awards granted under the 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“2020 Plan”) and deferred under the NQDC plan may be deposited. In addition to the deferral of shares, the rabbi trust holds the assets in the COLI for the NQDC plan. The rabbi trust is an irrevocable trust, and no portion of the trust fund may be used for any purpose other than the delivery of those assets to the participants. The assets held in the rabbi trust are subject to the claims of our general creditors in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency. The value of the assets of the rabbi trust is consolidated into our financial statements.
The NQDC plan permits diversification of vested shares (common stock) into other equity securities subject to a six-month and one day holding period subsequent to vesting. Per ASC 710-10-25-15, accounting for deferred common stock will be under plan type C or D. Accounting will depend on whether or not the employee has diversified the common stock. Under plan type C, diversification is permitted but the employee has not diversified. Under plan type D, diversification is permitted, and the employee has diversified.
For common stock that has not been diversified, the employer stock held in the rabbi trust is classified in a manner similar to treasury stock and presented separately on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as Company common stock held by the NQDC plan. The common stock will be recorded at the fair value of the stock at the time it vested, subsequent changes in the value of the common stock will not be recognized. The deferred compensation obligation is measured independently at fair value of the common stock with a corresponding charge or credit to compensation cost. The fair value is calculated as the product of the common stock and the closing price of the stock each reporting period.
Under plan type D, the accounting for the assets held by the rabbi trust is subject to the accounting pronouncements under applicable GAAP for each asset type. The deferred compensation obligation is measured independently at fair value of the underlying assets. During the years-ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the diversified stock was invested in funds under the COLI policy.
Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Stock Awards
In accordance with ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), the deferred RSU awards under the NQDC plan are classified as an equity instrument and changes in fair value of the amount owed to the participant are not recognized. As the plan permits diversification, presentation outside of permanent equity in accordance with ASR 268, Redeemable Preferred Stock is appropriate. The redemption amounts are based on the vested percentage and are recorded outside of equity as Non-qualified deferred compensation share awards on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Deferred awards will be presented outside of permanent equity until the awards are vested. For further details refer to Note 17.
Segment Reporting
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision-maker is its Chief Executive Officer, who reviews consolidated financial results when making resource allocation decisions or evaluating Company performance. To date, the Company has viewed its operations and manages its business asone segment. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has no material long-lived assets outside of the U.S. and approximately 3% of its total revenues for the year-ended December 31, 2024 are from foreign countries. For further details refer to Note 11.

Gross unrealized gains and losses on the Company’s marketable securities were an unrealized gain of $100,000 and an unrealized loss of $5,000 as of December 31, 2023 which resulted in a net unrealized loss of $95,000.
During the years-ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company didnot recognize credit losses. The Company has accrued interest incomeof $121,000 and $227,000 as of December 31, 2024 and, 2023, respectively, recorded in Prepaids and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Money market funds were included in Cash and cash equivalentson the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
- Fair Value Measurements
The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a framework with respect to measuring assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis and non-recurring basis. Under the framework, fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, as of the measurement date. The framework also establishes a three-tier hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy consists of the following three levels:
Level 1: Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date.
Level 2: Inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability
The following tables present information about the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, based on the three-tier fair value hierarchy:

The Company’s Level 1 assets include money market instruments and are valued based upon observable market prices. Level 2 assets consist of U.S. Government agency obligations and U.S Treasury securities. Level 2 securities are valued based upon observable inputs that include reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, bids and offers. There were no transfers between fair value measurement levels during the years-ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. Cash equivalents consist of money market funds and are classified as a Level 1. The corporate-owned life insurance contracts are recorded at cash surrender value, which is provided by a third party and reflects the net asset value of the underlying publicly traded mutual funds and are categorized as Level 2. Non-qualified deferred compensation plan liability is measured at fair value based on quoted prices of identical instruments to the investment vehicles selected by the participants.
Long-term debt
The fair value of the debt was determined using a Monte Carlo Simulation (“MCS”) in order to predict the probability of different outcomes. The valuation was performed based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the debt is recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value is estimated by the Company each reporting period and the change in the fair value is recorded in both earnings and other comprehensive loss depending on the instrument's inherent credit risk and market risk related to the debt valuation. The assumptions used in the MCS were risk-free interest rate, revenue volatility, revenue discount rate, future revenue projection, and expected dividend rate.
As the debt is subject to net revenue requirements, the valuation of the debt was determined using MCS. The underlying metric to be simulated is the projected Trailing Twelve Month (“TTM”) revenues at each quarter end through the maturity date of October 18, 2028. Based on the simulated metric, the different levels of simulated TTM revenues may trigger different discounted cash flow scenarios in which the TTM revenues are lower than the targeted revenues per the Credit Agreement or the TTM revenues are equal to or higher than the targeted revenues per the Credit Agreement, as discussed in Note 6 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. MCS performs 100,000 iterations of various simulated revenues to determine the fair value of the debt.
The below assumptions were used in the MCS:
| December 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Risk-free interest rate | 4.25% | 3.81% |
| Revenue volatility | 63.00% | 64.00% |
| Revenue discount rate | 14.11% | 16.58% |
Warrant Liability
The fair value of the warrant liability is recognized in connection with the Credit Agreement, as discussed in Note 6 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. The fair value of the warrant liability was determined based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the warrant liability, which is reported within Warrant liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, is estimated by the Company based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following key inputs:
| December 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Price of common stock | $12.80 | $13.72 |
| Expected term | 8.80 years | 9.81 years |
| Expected volatility | 48.89% | 31.07% |
| Exercise price | $10.9847 | $10.9847 |
| Risk-free interest rate | 4.49% | 3.84% |
| Expected dividends | 0.00% | 0.00% |
- Revenues
The Company generates revenues primarily from:
The sale of RECELL Ease of Use (“EOU”), RECELL GO RPK, and PermeaDerm products to hospitals, other treatment centers, and distributors.
Maintenance fee received from BARDA in exchange for first right of access to our inventory. In the prior year, the Company recorded service revenues for the emergency preparedness services provided to BARDA.
Lease revenue for the RECELL GO RPD.
The Company’s sale of the EOU and PermeaDerm products are accounted for under ASC 606, as discussed in Note 2 of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Revenue for the RECELL GO device is disaggregated between two accounting standards: (1) ASC 606 for the RPK and (2) ASC 842 for the RPD.
RECELL GO
The RECELL GO device consists of a single-use RPK and a durable AC powered device, RPD. The Company enters into contracts with customers where it receives consideration for the single-use RPK and does not receive additional consideration for the RPD. The consideration in the contract is allocated based on the SSP. Upon sale of the RPK the consideration is allocated to the lease and non-lease components. Consideration received for the RPK is recorded in Sales revenues in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and consideration for the lease is recorded in Lease revenue in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the year-ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded approximately $17.5 million in Sales revenue related to the RPK and $358,000 in Lease revenue related to the RPD in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Distributor Transactions
For international markets, the Company exclusively partners with third-party distributors (currently, COSMOTEC in Japan, PolyMedics Innovation GmbH in Germany, and Revolution Surgical Pty Ltd in Australia and New Zealand). Revenue recognition occurs when the distributors obtain control of the product. The terms of sales transactions through distributors are generally consistent with the terms of direct sales to customers and do not contain return rights. These transactions are accounted for in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policy described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
PermeaDerm Sales
As provided in the Stedical Agreement, the Company’s gross margin from the sale of PermeaDerm is 50% of the average sales price (“ASP”). The Company and Stedical share the gross revenue from the sale of the products evenly at 50% of ASP. The Company recognizes revenue when the customer obtains control of promised goods, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods.
Remaining Performance Obligations
Contract liabilities are calculated as the dollar value of the remaining performance obligations on executed contracts and primarily relate to COSMOTEC and other customers. The estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future once the performance obligation is satisfied under the Company’s existing customer agreements is $357,000 and $390,000 as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. These amounts are classified between current and long-term in Other current liabilities and Contract liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Variable Consideration
The Company evaluates its contracts with customers for forms of variable consideration, which may require an adjustment to the transaction price based on their estimated impact. For commercial customers, revenue from the sale of goods is recognized net of volume discounts. The Company uses the expected value method when estimating variable consideration. Revenue is only recognized to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur. Variable consideration under the BARDA contract is not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Volume Discounts— The Company generally provides contracted customers with volume discounts that are explicitly stated in the Company’s customer contracts. The RECELL system is sold with respective volume discounts based on aggregated sales over a 12-month period on a customer-by-customer basis. Revenue from these sales is recognized based on the price specified in the contract, net of estimated volume discounts, and net of any sales tax charged. Goods sold are not eligible for return. The Company has determined such discounts are not distinct from the Company’s sale of products to the customer and, therefore, these payments have been recorded as a reduction of revenue and as a reduction to accounts receivable, net.
Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
Contract assets include amounts related to the Company’s contractual right to consideration for both completed and partially completed performance for which the Company does not have the right to payment. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company doesnot have any contract assets.
Contract liabilities are recorded when the Company receives payment prior to satisfying its obligation to transfer goods to a customer. The Company had a total of $357,000 and $390,000 in contract liabilities as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. These amounts split between Other current liabilities and Contract liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company had $33,000 in Other current liabilities as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company had $324,000 and $357,000 in Contract liabilities as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The balance relates to the unsatisfied performance obligation for emergency preparedness under the BARDA contract and COSMOTEC. Performance obligations will be recognized over time over the term of the contracts. For the years-ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $195,000 and $335,000 of BARDA revenue from amounts included in the beginning balance of contract liabilities, respectively. For the years-ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $33,000 of revenue for COSMOTEC for amounts included in the beginning balance of contract liabilities.
Cost to Obtain and Fulfill a Contract
Contract fulfillment costs include commissions and shipping expenses. The Company has opted to immediately expense the incremental cost of obtaining a contract when the underlying related asset would have been amortized over one year or less. The Company generally does not incur costs to obtain new contracts.
BARDA Contract
On February 16, 2024, the Company executed a contract modification with BARDA to extend the period of performance, under the original contract dated September 29, 2015, from December 31, 2023 to September 28, 2025. Under the modified contract, BARDA shall have access to AVITA Medical’s RECELL inventory in the event of a national emergency. No additional inventory build will be required. In the case of a national emergency, BARDA shall pay for RECELL devices at a reduced price for the first 1,000 units and retail price for any units over 1,000 requested. BARDA will pay AVITA Medical approximately $333,000 in maintenance fee over the term of the contract to ensure first right of access.
Cost to fulfill the BARDA emergency preparedness performance obligation, which primarily consist of billed costs to BARDA incurred in connection with the emergency deployment services, are incremental and expected to be recovered. Costs are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company didnot have any contract costs remaining in Prepaid and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amortization expense related to deferred contract costs was $341,000 during the year-ended December 31, 2023 and are classified as Cost of sales on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. There wasno impairment loss in relation to deferred contract costs during the years-ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Disaggregated Revenue
The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers into geographical regions and by customer type. As noted in the segment footnote, the Company’s business consists of one reporting segment. A reconciliation of disaggregated revenue by geographical region and customer type is provided in Note 11.

The maturity date of the Credit Agreement is October 18, 2028 (“Maturity Date”). On the Closing date, the Company closed on the Initial Commitment Amount, less certain fees and expenses payable to or on behalf of the Lender. The Company received net proceeds of $38.8 million upon closing after deducting the Lender's transaction costs in connection with the Loan Facility. On November 7, 2024, the Lender and the Company mutually agreed to a third amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement.

All revenue covenants for subsequent quarters remain in effect.
All obligations under the Credit Agreement will be guaranteed by all of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions) and secured by substantially all of the Company's and each guarantor's assets. The loan will be due in full on the Maturity Date unless the Company elects to repay the principal amount at any time prior to the Maturity Date. Upon prepayment, the Company will owethe applicable repayment premium and exit fee of 3% on the principal amount of the Loans. The repayment premium varies between 0% -3%, depending on certain conditions that are defined in the Credit Agreement. Note that the Repayment premium incorporates the make-whole amount.

The Credit Agreement further states that the Company will be required to repay the principal amount of the Loan Facility if the Company does not achieve certain net revenue thresholds. If, for any quarter until the maturity date, the Company’s net revenue does not equal or exceed the applicable trailing twelve-month amount as set forth in the Credit Agreement, then the Company shall repay in equal quarterly installments equal to 5.0% of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan Facility on the date the net revenue amount was not satisfied, together with a repayment premium and exit fee. In addition, the Company will be required to maintain at least $10.0 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents at the end of each reporting period. The Company shall repay amounts outstanding in full immediately upon an acceleration as a result of an event of default as set forth in the Credit Agreement, together with a repayment premium and other fees. As of December 31, 2024, the Company hasnot made any repayments on the outstanding debt balance.
During the term of the Credit Agreement, interest payable in cash by the Company shall accrue on any outstanding debt at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (x) the SOFR rate for such period and (y)4.00% plus, in either case,8.00%. As of December 31, 2024, the interest rate was 12.55%. During an event of default, any outstanding amount will bear interest at a rate of 4.00% in excess of the otherwise applicable rate of interest. The Company will pay certain fees with respect to the Credit Agreement, including an upfront fee, an unused fee on the undrawn portion of the Loan Facility, an administration fee, a repayment premium and an exit fee, as well as certain other fees and expenses of the Lender. The unused fee accrues at 0.5% of the undrawn balance and its recorded as an asset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. After the execution of the Third Amendment, the unused fee is no longer payable.
The Credit Agreement contains certain customary events of default, including with respect to nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts; material inaccuracy of a representation or warranty; failure to perform or observe covenants; material defaults on other indebtedness; bankruptcy and insolvency events; material monetary judgments; loss of certain key permits, persons and contracts; material adverse effects; certain regulatory matters; and any change of control.

On December 22, 2021, the Company’s stockholders approved the issuance of options and RSUs to the Board of Directors in accordance with ASX rules. These awards are subject to the vesting and performance conditions as denoted in the individual agreements (collectively, the “2021 Annual Meeting Awards”). On December 12, 2022, the Company’s stockholders approved the issuance of options and RSUs to the Board of Directors and the CEO in accordance with ASX rules. These awards are subject to vesting conditions as denoted in the individual agreements (collectively, the “2022 Annual Meeting Awards”). On June 6, 2023, the Company’s stockholders approved the issuance of options and RSUs to the Board of Directors and the CEO in accordance with ASX rules. These awards are subject to vesting conditions as denoted in the individual agreements (collectively, the “2023 Annual Meeting Awards”). On June 5, 2024, the Company’s stockholders approved the issuance of options and RSUs to the Board of Directors and the CEO in accordance with ASX rules. These awards are subject to vesting conditions as denoted in the individual agreements (collectively, the “2024 Annual Meeting Awards”).
The 2020 Plan provides for the grant of the following Grants: (a) Incentive Stock Options, (b) Nonstatutory Stock Options, (c) Stock Appreciation Rights, (d) Restricted Stock Grants, (e) Restricted Stock Unit Grants, (f) Performance Grants, and (g) Other Grants. The 2020 Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee or by the Board acting as the Compensation Committee. Subject to the general purposes, terms and conditions of the 2020 Plan, applicable law and any charter adopted by the Board governing the actions of the Compensation Committee, the Compensation Committee will have full power to implement and carry out the 2020 Plan. Without limitation, the Compensation Committee will have the authority to interpret the plan, approve persons to receive grants, determine the terms and number of shares of the grants, determine vesting and exercisability of grants, and make all other determinations necessary or advisable in connection with the administration of this Plan.
The contractual term of stock option awards granted under the 2020 Plan isten years from the grant date. Unless otherwise specified, the vesting periods of options and RSUs granted under the 2020 Plan are: (i) vest over athree-year orfour-year period in equal installments at the end of each year from the date of grant, and /or (ii) subject to other performance criteria, as determined by the Compensation Committee.
Modifications
During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company had administrative changes to employment agreements offive executives. Changes included clarification that equity awards are inclusive of options and RSUs, and a change in the post-termination exercise period from 6-months to 3-months. In addition, four employees received employment agreements for the first time as a result of a promotion. Per the terms of the employment agreement outstanding awards (options and RSUs) will immediately accelerate upon a qualifying termination. These employees were previously governed by the terms of the 2020 Plan, which upon separation from service, unvested awards will forfeit. The Company accounted for these changes in the accelerated vesting provision upon termination and the decrease in the post-termination exercise period as modifications. The modifications did not result in incremental expense.

Option Pricing Model
The Company estimates the fair value of tenure-based share options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the date of grant.
The valuation of the options is affected by the Company's share price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, expected share price volatility over the term of the awards and actual and projected employee share option exercise behaviors. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rate for the expected term at the time of grant, volatility is based on the historical volatility. For tenure-based options, the expected term is based on the estimated average of the life of options using the simplified method as prescribed by SAB 107. The Company utilizes the simplified method for plain vanilla options to determine the expected term of the options due to insufficient exercise activity during recent years. The expected dividend assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts.
Included in the following table is a summary of the related assumptions used in the Black-Scholes Option pricing model for the years-ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
| Year-Ended | ||

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In June 2023, the stockholders approved the AVITA Medical, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). The ESPP became effective on July 1, 2023. On June 30, 2023, the Company filed Registration Statement on Form S-8 to register 1,000,000 shares of common stock under the ESPP, as a result of the Company’s stockholders approving the ESPP at the 2023 Annual Meeting. The ESPP features two six-month offering periods per year, from June 1 to November 30 and December 1 to May 31. The first offering period for the ESPP was July 1 – November 30, 2023. Subsequent offering periods will begin the first trading day of December and June each year. For the year-ended December 31, 2024,171,224 shares were issued under the ESPP at a purchase price of$8.02, and total proceeds received from the purchase of shares under the ESPP were approximately $1.4 million. For the year-ended December 31, 2023,72,319 shares, were issued under the ESPP at a purchase price of $9.06, and total proceeds received from the purchase of shares under the ESPP were approximately $655,000. During the years-ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $735,000 and $382,000, respectively in ESPP expense and had unamortized expense remaining of $275,000 and $327,000, respectively, to be recognized over a term of 0.42 years. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Companyhad accrued payroll contributions for future ESPP purchases of approximately $89,000 and $122,000, respectively.
The Company estimates the fair value of the ESPP using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the date of grant. The valuation is affected by the Company's share price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, expected term, expected share price, volatility over the expected term and risk-free rate.

At December 31, 2024, the Company and its subsidiaries had net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state income tax purposes of $180.4 million and $92.7 million, respectively. The net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to limitation regarding their utilization against taxable income in future periods due to “change of ownership” provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. Of these carryforwards, $19.4 million will expire, if not utilized, between 2028 through 2038. The remaining carryforwards have no expiration.
In assessing the recoverability of its deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that its deferred assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in those periods in which temporary differences become deductible and/or net operating losses can be utilized. The Company considers all positive and negative evidence when determining the amount of the net deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized. This evidence includes, but is not limited to, historical earnings, scheduled reversal of taxable temporary differences, tax planning strategies and projected future taxable income. Based upon the weight of available evidence including the uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to utilize certain net operating losses and tax credits in the future, the Company has established a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets of $60.4 million and $63.3 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The deferred tax assets are primarily net operating loss carryforwards for which management has determined it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements related to a particular tax position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than a 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted as appropriate for changes in facts and circumstances, such as significant amendments to existing tax law, new regulations or interpretations by the taxing authorities, new information obtained during a tax examination, or resolution of an examination.
The Company hasnot identified any uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal, California and certain other state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company remains subject to income tax examinations for its U.S. federal and state income taxes generally for fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and forward. The Company also remains subject to income tax examinations for international income taxes for fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 through December 31, 2023, and for certain other U.S. state and local income taxes generally for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 through December 31, 2023.
- Loss per Share
The following is a reconciliation of the basic and diluted loss per share computations:
| Year Ended | ||
|---|---|---|
| December 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |
| (in thousands, except per share amounts) | ||
| Net loss | $(61,845) | $(35,381) |
| Weighted-average common shares—outstanding, basic and diluted | 25,883 | 25,331 |
| Net loss per common share, basic and diluted | $(2.39) | $(1.40) |
| Year Ended | ||
|---|---|---|
| December 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |
| Anti-dilutive shares excluded from diluted net loss per common share: | ||
| Stock options | 3,540,208 | 2,690,158 |
| Restricted stock units | 117,196 | 235,132 |
| ESPP | 81,675 | 91,152 |
| Warrants | 409,661 | 409,661 |
The Company’s basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the relevant period. In accordance with ASC 710, shares of common stock held by the rabbi trust are excluded from the denominator in the basic and diluted net loss per common share calculations. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023 a total of 127,270 and 99,106, shares of common stock were excluded, respectively. For details on shares of common stock held by the rabbi trust refer to Note 17. For the purposes of the calculation of diluted net loss per share, options to purchase common stock, restricted stock units and unvested shares of common stock issued upon the early exercise of stock options have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive. Because the Company has reported a net loss for years-ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, diluted net loss per common share is the same as the basic net loss per share for those periods.
- Retirement Plans
The Company offers a 401(k)-retirement savings plan (the “401(k) Plan”) for its employees, including its executive officers, who satisfy certain eligibility requirements. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, allows eligible employees to defer a portion of their compensation, within prescribed limits, on a pre-tax basis through contributions to the 401(k) Plan. The Company matches contributions to the 401(k) Plan based on the amount of salary deferral contributions the participant makes to the 401(k) Plan. The Company will match up to 6% of an employee’s compensation that the employee contributes to his or her 401(k) Plan account. Total Company matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan were $2.5 million and $1.2 million for the years-ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
Non-qualified deferred compensation plan
The Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plan (the “NQDC plan”), which became effective on October 2021 allows for eligible management and highly compensated key employees to elect to defer a portion of their salary, bonus, commissions and RSU awards to later years. Cash deferrals are immediately vested and are subject to investment risk and a risk of forfeiture under certain circumstances. RSU deferrals are subject to the vesting conditions of the award. Once RSUs vest, subject to a six-month and one day holding period, employees are allowed to diversify the common stock into other investment options offered by the plan. For cash deferrals, the Company matches 4% to 6% (depending on level) of employee contributions. These matching employer contributions are vested over atwo-year period with 25% vesting on year one and 75% vesting on year two for employees under 55 years of age. Employer contributions for employees over 55 years of age are immediately vested. Employer contributions to the NQDC plan for the years-ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were$154,000 and $171,000, respectively. The Company’s deferred compensation plan liability was $5.1 million and $3.8 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These amounts are split between current and long term on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, $2.1 million and $168,000 is included in Current non-qualified deferred compensation liability and $3.0 million and $3.7 million in Non-qualified deferred compensation liability, respectively. During the years-ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had a payout of approximately$744,000 and $950,000, respectively, in the deferred compensation liability for terminated employees.
The Company established a COLI to fund the NQDC plan. Amounts in the COLI are invested in a number of funds. The securities are carried at the cash surrender value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We record investment gains and losses of the COLI as other income. Refer to Note 4, Fair Value Measurements for the fair values of the COLI policies and the NQDC liability.
Rabbi Trust
During April 2022, we established a rabbi trust to hold the assets of the NQDC plan. The rabbi trust holds the COLI asset and the common stock from deferred RSU awards that have vested. The NQDC permits diversification of fully vested shares into other equity securities subject to a six month and one day holding period. In accordance with ASR 268, Redeemable Preferred Stock, and ASC 718, prior to vesting, the deferred share awards are classified as an equity instrument and changes in fair value of the amount owed to the participant are not recognized. The redemption amounts of the deferred awards are based on the vested percentage and are recorded outside of permanent equity as Non-qualified deferred compensation share awards on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, a total of 244,218 and 81,052, shares awards have been deferred, respectively. Vested shares are converted to common stock and are reclassified to permanent equity. Common stock held in the rabbi trust is classified in a manner similar to treasury stock and presented separately on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as Common stock held by the NQDC plan. For the years-ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 a total of 127,270 and 99,106 shares were vested at the redemption value of $1.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively.
The following table summarizes the eligible share award activity as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and determined that except as disclosed below, no events have occurred that would require adjustment to, or disclosures in, the Consolidated Financial Statements.
On February 13, 2025, an affiliate of OrbiMed Advisors, LLC (the “Lender”) and the Company mutually agreed to a fourth amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement (See Note 6. Long-term debt). Under the terms of the Fourth Amendment, the Company and the Lender mutually agreed to amend the trailing 12-month revenue to $73.0 million for the quarter ending March 31, 2025, to $78.0 million for the quarter ending June 30, 2025, to $84.0 million for the quarter ending September 30, 2025, to $92.0 million for the quarter ending December 31, 2025 and to $103.0 million for the quarter ending March 31, 2026. The $115.0 million revenue covenant for all subsequent quarters through the date of debt maturity remains in effect.
As a condition to the execution of the Fourth Amendment, on February 13, 2025, the Company issued to the Lender a warrant to purchase up to 145,180 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, with a term of 10 years from the issuance date.
