Mimedx Shareholder Group Calls out Significant Drop in Mimedx’s Profitability since the Original CEO & COO Were Asked to Leave the Company on June 30th, 2018

June 12, 2019 Off By BusinessWire

MARIETTA, Ga.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$MDXG–Mimedx Shareholder Group issued the following statement to fellow
shareholders of Mimedx Group, Inc. (OTC PINK: MDXG) (‘MiMedx”):

MiMedx Group, Inc. just announced the signing of an agreement for a $75
million line of credit. The documents that the Company had to publish
included for the first time its earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) since the second quarter of 2018.
EBITDA is a measure of company profitability and potential cash flow.

In the Company’s disclosure, the EBITDA for the second quarter of 2018
was $24.8 million. EBITDA has continued to drop each quarter. And, for
the first quarter of 2019, it was down to $7.1 million. When the full
financials are published, we believe you will find that is because of
significant revenue deterioration and exorbitant costs related to legal,
accounting and consulting expenses.

This deterioration in profitability took place in spite of the Board’s
authorizing a 24% cut in the employee base, including sales personnel,
on December 5th, 2018. That decision was supposed to result
in improvements in EBITDA and cash flow. This is another example of
destructive business decisions coming from this Board and the lack of
experienced executive management.

While we are not privy to the exact revenue figures for the second
quarter of 2018, we note that the Company published a press release in
early June of 2018 stating that it expected to exceed the upper end of
the revenue guidance for that quarter. This would have put the revenue
in excess of $98 million. With this $24.8 million EBITDA, that would put
the EBITDA margin at 25.3% of revenues. During that quarter, the
start-up costs associated with the investigation were included.
Therefore, without the investigation activity, the Company’s EBITDA
would have certainly approached 30%. Those are the numbers that previous
management, CEO Petit and COO Taylor, had committed to as an immediate
term objective. This clearly demonstrates what happens when a
fast-growth highly complex biotechnology business enterprise is taken
over by an inexperienced Board, and they delegate to inexperienced
management.

This is the point that our previous press releases have tried to make in
terms of the value of very experienced operating executives on the Board
of Directors as well as managing a Company of this nature. Shareholders
should seriously consider these very important metrics that MiMedx just
published in terms of considering, not only their lack of performance
and destructive decisions related to the progress of the Company, but
also to the experience of persons that will be needed on the management
team and in the Board room.
