Analysis · AXGN · Industrial Applications And Services
A strong second quarter saw revenue climb 23% to $69.7 million, fueled by higher unit volumes and improved pricing. Reflecting confidence in sustained demand across its nerve repair portfolio, the company raised its full-year revenue growth guidance to at least 24%. Gross margin edged down to 72.7% on higher product costs, but the balance sheet is dramatically stronger after a January equity raise paid off all debt, leaving $111 million in cash and investments. Spending on sales, R&D, and stock compensation grew faster than revenue, pushing the quarter to a small operating loss. The subsequent $7 million investment in Trace Biosciences adds a strategic growth option in nerve imaging.
