Current report
We sell EluPro and CanGaroo in the United States using our direct sales force and our commercial partner, Boston Scientific, which acts as a sales agent and gives us access to approximately 900 sales representatives and clinical specialists to further expand our footprint and accelerate our sales. Our primary customers are electrophysiologists, cardiac surgeons and neurosurgeons. Our direct sales force is focused on gaining additional market access and driving market penetration, not only by selling our products, but also, where appropriate, by managing our commercial partners and providing technical assistance for selling our products. Our sales team provides the critical knowledge of the advantages that EluPro and CanGaroo provide for patients over those of our competitors. We ship the product directly to hospitals.
Current report
We sell SimpliDerm through independent sales agents to plastic and reconstructive surgeons. Additionally, in March 2023, we entered into an agreement with Sientra, a medical aesthetics company uniquely focused on plastic surgery, to expand the distribution of SimpliDerm. In April 2024, the agreement was acquired by Tiger Aesthetics Medical (“Tiger”) in connection with their asset acquisition of Sientra. Under the agreement terms, Elutia has granted Tiger certain non-exclusive rights in the United States to market, sell and distribute SimpliDerm. This agreement with Tiger gives us access to approximately 50 sales representatives to further expand our footprint and accelerate our sales.
Current report
We have focused much of our attention recently on EluPro, which was cleared for marketing by the FDA in June 2024 and is indicated for use with implantable electronic devices including cardiac and neurostimulator devices. We believe the Company’s success is highly dependent on the successful commercialization, marketing and sale of EluPro, as well as the extension of our DEB technology into potential adjacent applications. Furthermore, we believe the commercialization and marketing efforts with respect to EluPro will require significant investments in time and resources. However, there can be no assurance that we will have or be able to obtain sufficient resources to make the necessary investments in order to increase the sales and market penetration of EluPro, or that if made, such investments will yield the results sought.

Net Sales
Current report
Total net sales decreased $0.7 million, or 9.9%, to $6.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $6.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024. Revenues from Device Protection increased compared to the prior year’s first quarter due to volume growth from EluPro whose full commercial launch commenced in January 2025 after FDA clearance in June 2024. Such increase, however, was offset by volume declines in Women’s Health and Cardiovascular. The decline in Women’s Health was caused by case volume reductions at certain hospital customers, and various physician users of SimpliDerm who transferred to hospitals where SimpliDerm is not yet available. With respect to Cardiovascular, as noted above, the exclusive distribution agreement with LeMaitre Vascular terminated in April 2025 and we recommenced selling these products directly in May 2025. We anticipate Cardiovascular sales will increase in future quarters of 2025 both through volume growth and higher unit prices as such sales will be at end-user pricing versus contracted prices.
Current report
Cost of Goods Sold
Current report
Total cost of goods sold decreased $0.3 million to $3.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $3.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024. Gross margin was 40.7% in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to 42.5% in the three months ended March 31, 2024. Gross margin, excluding intangible asset amortization, was 54.8% in the three months ended March 31, 2025 consistent with 55.2% in the three months ended March 31, 2024. While the overall changes between years in the gross margin measures were modest, it included increases to the Women’s Health gross margin due to certain non-recurring write-offs in the prior year quarter, and declines to the Device Protection gross margin due to the addition of EluPro in 2025 which currently carries a lower gross margin than CanGaroo. We expect the Device Protection gross margin to improve over the course of calendar year 2025 as we increase production volumes and further production efficiencies are achieved.
Current report
R&D expenses decreased $0.3 million, or 22.8% to $0.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $1.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in expense was largely attributable to lower non-cash equity compensation in the 2025 period along with reductions in outside testing services after the FDA‘s clearance of EluPro in June 2024. Our future development efforts are focused on expanding our EluPro offering with additional sizes and product features, (ii) developing new products within the DEB product portfolio and (iii) conducting clinical studies to validate the performance characteristics of our products and to capture patient data necessary to support our commercial efforts.
Current report
Litigation Costs, net
Current report
Litigation costs, net increased to $2.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $1.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024. The current year increase was due to the availability of insurance coverage on the FiberCel Litigation in the 2024 period which allowed for the full recovery of legal defense costs in the prior year’s quarter. As of March 31, 2025, insurance remains available to cover the cost of the VBM Litigation and related defense costs; however, we have no more insurance to cover the cost of the FiberCel Litigation and the related defense costs. See further discussion in Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Current report
Other Expense (Income), net
Current report
Other expense (income), net was an expense of $0.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 and was attributable to thetransaction fees incurred in connection with the 2025 Registered Offering which were allocated to the 2025 Prefunded Warrants (defined below). See Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for additional information.
Current report
Other expense (income), net was income of $1.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 attributable to the $1.4 million gain on the revaluation of our Revenue Interest Obligation to Ligand. See Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for additional information.
Current report
Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $13.3 million compared to cash used in financing activities of $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The current year’s cash generation was primarily through the 2025 Registered Offering which yielded net proceeds of $13.8 million. The cash used in the 2024 period was caused largely by repayments totaling $4.6 million of our long-term debt and revenue interest obligation offset by the proceeds from Common Warrant and Prefunded Warrant exercises of $1.1 million.

May 2025 Amendment
Current report
In May 2025, we entered into an amendment to the SWK Loan Facility. The amendment, among other things: (i) allows for 100% of the interest payment due and owing in May 2025 to be paid as PIK interest, (ii) removed mandatory repayment obligations related to non-ordinary course asset sales, (iii) allows us to request that SWK advance a new term loan in the amount of up to $5.0 million, which advance will be in the sole and absolute discretion of SWK and (iv) fixed the amount of the minimum liquidity covenant to be $8.0 million. In consideration for the amendment, the Company agreed to issue SWK 50,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock in a private placement.

Ligand Revenue Interest Obligation
Current report
Effective May 8, 2025, we entered into a subscription agreement and further amendment to the Revenue Interest Obligation with Ligand. Through the amendment, $2.2 million in outstanding royalty obligations (royalty obligations for the fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025) owed by Elutia to Ligand under the Revenue Interest Obligation as amended was satisfied by the issuance of 1,105,528 shares of Elutia’s Class A common stock to Ligand in a transaction registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Device Protection
Previous report
EluPro was cleared for marketing by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in June 2024 and is indicated for use with implantable electronic devices including cardiac and neurostimulator devices. EluPro is the only drug-eluting biomatrix (“DEB”) offering in the U.S. implantable electronic device protection market, which is comprised of approximately 600,000 procedures per year in the United States. EluPro is currently available on a limited basis in advance of its full commercial launch anticipated for the first quarter of 2025. Alongside EluPro, we continue to market the CanGaroo bioenvelope, our first generation product, which uses the same biomatrix but does not contain antibiotics.

Total net sales decreased $0.2 million, or 3.3%, to $5.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $6.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023. Revenues from Women’s Health increased compared to the prior year’s third quarter due primarily to volume growth; however, such increase was offset by slight volume declines between years in Device Protection and Cardiovascular. As noted above, our new Device Protection product, EluPro, was approved by the FDA in June 2024 and first sold commercially in September 2024. EluPro is currently available to our customers on a limited basis in advance of its full commercial launch in the first quarter of 2025. The decline in Device Protection revenue between years was partially caused by certain of our customers suspending purchases of CanGaroo and waiting to procure EluPro when it becomes more broadly available.

R&D expenses increased $0.2 million, or 39.7% to $0.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $0.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in expense was largely attributable to the non-cash equity compensation grants made in January 2024. Over the last several years, our R&D efforts have primarily related to activities associated with the development of EluPro. With the FDA approval of EluPro in June 2024, our development efforts are focused on the areas described under the heading "Overview" above.

Research and Development
Previous report
R&D expenses were $3.0 million in both the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Over the last several years, our R&D efforts have primarily related to activities associated with the development of EluPro (referred to as CanGarooRM during development). With the FDA’s approval of EluPro in June 2024, such related costs were less in the first nine months of 2024 versus the prior year’s comparable period, but such decrease was offset by non-cash equity compensation recognized in the 2024 period. See “Overview” above for discussion of future development projects.

Previous wording
We estimate that, over the past two years, more than 700,000 surgical procedures were performed per year in the United States in which the patient was implanted with medical devices such as pacemakers, defibrillators, neuro-stimulators or tissue expanders for breast reconstruction. This number has been driven by advances in medical device technologies, reimbursement models focused on patient outcomes, and an aging population with a growing incidence of comorbidities, including diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular and peripheral vascular diseases. These comorbidities can exacerbate various immune responses and contribute to other complications upon device implant.

Our products are targeted to address unmet clinical needs with the goal of promoting healthy tissue formation and avoiding complications associated with medical device implants, such as scar tissue formation, capsular contraction, erosion, migration and infection. We currently focus on two priority markets – Device Protection and Women’s Health.
Previous wording
In Device Protection, we sell EluPro, a unique bioenvelope designed to secure implanted devices, mitigating complications such as migration and erosion. The bioenvelope features a biomatrix comprised of extracellular matrix (ECM), which supports healthy wound healing and may facilitate re-operative procedures by reducing scar formation and fibrosis. Additionally, EluPro is embedded with the powerful antibiotics rifampin and minocycline, which are gradually released into the surrounding tissue over several weeks post-implantation to provide antimicrobial protection.

In Women’s Health, we have developed both patented and proprietary technologies, culminating in the creation of SimpliDerm—a novel biological matrix that leverages the inherent science of natural healing processes. SimpliDerm’s design uses human acellular dermal matrix (“hADM”) with heightened structural integrity and superior handling capabilities, which may mitigate inflammation and enhance tissue incorporation, leading to a better healing experience as compared to other hADM products. We believe that these acellular dermal matrices represent an ideal choice for tissue repair and reconstruction, finding applications in fields such as breast reconstruction, sports medicine, hernia repair and trauma reconstruction.

We also sell legacy products into the Cardiovascular market. In Cardiovascular, we sell our specialized porcine small intestine submucosa, which is also the biomatrix used to make EluPro and CanGaroo, for use as an intracardiac and vascular patch as well as for pericardial reconstruction. In addition, our TYKE product is designed for use in the neonatal patient population. These cardiovascular products are sold in the United States through an exclusive distribution agreement with LeMaitre Vascular. This agreement also provided LeMaitre with an option to acquire the Cardiovascular product line through March 2026. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, our Cardiovascular products generated revenue of $2.4 million.

In addition, our TYKE product is designed for use in the neonatal patient population. From May 2017 through March 2023, we sold these products directly to hospitals and other healthcare facilities primarily through our sales force and independent sales agents. In April 2023, we entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with LeMaitre Vascular through which we sold these products in the United States. On May 1, 2025, the exclusive distribution agreement terminated and we began selling these products directly to hospitals and other healthcare facilities through independent sales agents.

EluPro and CanGaroo are sold primarily through our internal sales force and independent sales agents. In the nine months ended September 30, 2024, these products generated revenue of $7.3 million. We produce all of our Device Protection and Cardiovascular (see below) products at our manufacturing facility in Roswell, Georgia and stock inventory of raw materials, supplies and finished goods at this location. We rely on a single or limited number of suppliers for certain raw materials and supplies. We have a long-term supply agreement with Cook Biotech (now owned by RTI Surgical), the porcine tissue supplier of our raw materials for our bioenvelope and cardiovascular products.

We rely on a single or limited number of suppliers for certain raw materials and supplies. We have a long-term supply agreement with Cook Biotech, now owned by Evergen, the porcine tissue supplier of our raw materials for EluPro, CanGaroo and our cardiovascular products. SimpliDerm was historically processed by us at our Richmond, California facility; however, that facility was included with the divestiture of the Orthobiologics Business, and SimpliDerm is now provided to us through a long-term supply agreement with the purchaser of the Orthobiologics Business, Berkeley Biologics, LLC (“Berkeley”). We intend to develop our own in-house capability for the production of certain components of EluPro as well as the potential internal production of current and future Women’s Health products. To this end, in March 2025, we signed a lease for 26,598 square feet in Gaithersburg, Maryland and expect to commence operations there in the second quarter of 2025. We anticipate being able to internally produce certain components of EluPro in the fourth quarter of 2025.

On November 8, 2023, we completed the sale of substantially all of the assets relating to our former Orthobiologics segment (the “Orthobiologics Business”) to Berkeley Biologics, LLC (“Berkeley”). The Orthobiologics Business was comprised of assets relating to researching, developing, administering, insuring, operating, commercializing, manufacturing, selling and marketing our Orthobiologics products, and the business of contract manufacturing of particulate bone, precision milled bone, cellular bone matrix, acellular dermis, soft tissue and other products. The assets sold represent the entirety of our Orthobiologics segment. In the sale, we received approximately $14.6 million, and we may earn up to an additional $20 million, in the aggregate, in the form of earn-out payments. The earn-out payments are equal to 10% of the actual revenue earned by Berkeley in each of the five years after the closing of the sale from sales of specified Orthobiologics products under the purchase agreement (including improvements, modifications, derivatives and enhancements related to those products). There were no earn-out payments earned or paid in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Additionally, the purchase agreement provides for a customary indemnity holdback in the amount of $1.5 million to be retained by Berkeley for 24 months after close. In the purchase agreement, the Company has retained the liabilities arising out of the VBM and FiberCel matters, as described in Note 10, both of which products were part of the Orthobiologics Business. We recognized a gain of $6.0 million on the sale of the Orthobiologics Business in the fourth quarter of 2023 and an additional gain of $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2024 from an adjustment payment related to the final working capital received by Berkeley at the sale date.

There have been no earn-out payments made to date. Additionally, the purchase agreement provides for a customary indemnity holdback in the amount of $1.5 million to be retained by Berkeley for 24 months after close. The indemnity holdback is available as a source of recovery for Berkeley for claims of indemnification under the purchase agreement, and some or all of the holdback may be retained by Berkeley if Berkeley is successful in asserting a claim or claims for indemnification against us. In the purchase agreement, the Company has retained the liabilities arising out of the viable bone matrix (“VBM”) and FiberCel matters, as described in Note 9, both of which products were part of the Orthobiologics Business. We recognized a gain of $6.0 million on the sale of the Orthobiologics Business in 2023 and an additional gain of $0.2 million in 2024 from an adjustment payment related to the final working capital received by Berkeley at the sale date. Should we receive incremental proceeds in the future through an earn-out payment or payment of the holdback amount, an additional gain will be recorded upon the receipt of such amounts.
Previous wording
In June 2021, we issued a voluntary recall pertaining to a single donor lot of our FiberCel Fiber Viable Bone Matrix, a bone repair product formerly manufactured under a contract with Medtronic PLC, which also distributed the product. The recall was issued after learning of postsurgical infections reported in several patients treated with the product, including some patients that tested positive for tuberculosis. Additionally, in July 2023, we announced a voluntary recall of a single lot of one of our viable bone matrix (“VBM”) products and the market withdrawal of all of our VBM products produced after a specified date. Notice of the voluntary recall was issued to centers after we learned of post-surgical tuberculosis infections in two patients treated with product from a single donor lot of our VBM product. Both of these products were part of our Orthobiologics Business, which we have fully divested as described above. For information about legal proceedings in which we are involved and the possible future financial implications, see Note 10 to condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

This Quarterly Report presents our gross margin, excluding intangible asset amortization, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. We calculate gross margin, excluding intangible asset amortization, as gross profit, excluding amortization expense relating to intangible assets we acquired in the CorMatrix Acquisition, divided by net sales. Gross margin, excluding intangible asset amortization, is a supplemental measure of our performance, is not defined by or presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to our GAAP gross margin, gross profit or any other financial performance measure presented in accordance with GAAP. We present gross margin, excluding intangible asset amortization, because we believe that it provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our operating performance by removing the impact of amortization expense, which is not indicative of our overall operating performance. We believe this provides our management and investors with useful information to facilitate period-to-period comparisons of our operating results. Our management uses this metric in assessing the health of our business and our operating performance, and we believe investors’ understanding of our operating performance is similarly enhanced by our presentation of this metric. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may use other measures to evaluate their performance, which could reduce the usefulness of this non-GAAP financial measure as a tool for comparison.

Historically, we have experienced seasonality, with lower sales in our first and second quarters and higher sales in our fourth quarter, and we expect this trend to continue. We have experienced and may in the future experience, higher sales in the fourth quarter as a result of hospitals in the United States increasing their purchases of our products to coincide with the end of their budget cycles. Satisfaction of patient deductibles throughout the course of the year also results in increased sales later in the year, once patients have paid their annual insurance deductibles in full, which reduces their out-of-pocket costs. Conversely, our first quarter generally has lower sales than the preceding fourth quarter as patient deductibles are re-established with the new year, which increases their out-of-pocket costs.

In order to mitigate the current and potential future liquidity issues caused by the matters noted above, we may seek to raise capital through the issuance of common stock, such as the Registerd Offering and Private Offering described above, pursue asset sale or other transactions, such as the sale of the Orthobiologics Business described above. However, such transactions may not be successful, and we may not be able to raise additional equity, refinance our debt instruments, or sell assets on acceptable terms, or at all. As such, based on our current operating plans, we believe there is uncertainty as to whether our future cash flows along with our existing cash, issuances of additional equity and cash generated from expected future sales will be sufficient to meet our anticipated operating needs through twelve months from the financial statement issuance date. Due to these factors, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the issuance of the financial statements.

On November 8, 2023, we completed the sale of substantially all of the assets relating to our former Orthobiologics Business to Berkeley. The Orthobiologics Business was comprised of assets relating to researching, developing, administering, insuring, operating, commercializing, manufacturing, selling and marketing our Orthobiologics products, and the business of contract manufacturing of particulate bone, precision milled bone, cellular bone matrix, acellular dermis, soft tissue and other products. The assets sold represent the entirety of our Orthobiologics segment. In the sale, we received $14.6 million, and we may earn up to an additional $20 million, in the aggregate, in the form of earn-out payments. The earn-out payments are equal to 10% of the actual revenue earned by Berkeley in each of the five years

Although we use gross margin, excluding intangible asset amortization, as described above, this metric has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.
