On March 4, 2021, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of the Company appointed Mika Nishimura as a director and as a member of the Compensation Committee of the Board.

As a non-employee director Ms. Nishimura will receive the following compensation under the Company’s non-employee director compensation policy: (1) an annual cash retainer of $6,000 for serving as a member of the Compensation Committee; (2) an initial restricted stock unit grant of 8,213 shares of the Company's common stock, which vests quarterly over three years, subject to her continuous service with the Company on each applicable vesting date; (3) a restricted stock unit grant of 447 shares of the Company's common stock, which vests at the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders, representing a prorated annual grant, subject to her continuous service with the Company on the vest date; and (4) on the date of each annual meeting of stockholders, a restricted stock unit grant having an approximate value of $40,000 based on the Company's closing price as reported by the Nasdaq Global Market on the date of grant, which will vest approximately one year from the grant date, subject to her continuous service with the Company on the vested date.

Recent Highlights

Worldwide revenue of $22.1 million for the fourth quarter 2020 and $73.4 million for the full year 2020, representing 12% and 9% increases, respectively, over the corresponding periods in 2019
U.S. revenue of $20.7 million for fourth quarter 2020 and $68.1 million for the full year 2020, representing 12% and 10% increases, respectively, over the corresponding prior periods in 2019
Company provides full year 2021 revenue guidance of $92 million to $94 million, or 25% to 28% growth
Completed a follow-on offering in October 2020 with net proceeds of $71.6 million
Received exclusive coverage for iFuse in MIS SI joint fusion procedures from Humana, the fifth largest commercial payor in the U.S. with 12.7 million covered lives, joining 36 other commercial health plans
Ended the year with 64 direct sales reps and 58 clinical support specialists
Hired Brian Broveleit as VP, Digital Marketing and Direct to Consumer to drive patient awareness efforts
Welcomed Mika Nishimura to the Board of Directors

“The fourth quarter was another successful period for SI-BONE as the company generated record quarterly revenues of $22.1 million,” said Jeff Dunn, President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of SI-BONE. “We continue to see strong underlying momentum in our business despite the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. As we move into 2021, we remain focused on executing our long-term strategic plan to drive growth and expand the market with our novel minimally invasive SI joint fusion therapy. As well, in January we announced the senior leadership transition plan that will make Laura Francis CEO and Tony Recupero President of Commercial Operations on or before May 1st. As Executive Chairman, I look forward to remaining highly engaged with SI-BONE and supporting Laura and Tony in their new roles.”

Fourth Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Revenue was $22.1 million in the fourth quarter 2020, a 12% increase from $19.8 million in the corresponding period in 2019. U.S. revenue for the fourth quarter 2020 was $20.7 million, an increase of 12% from $18.5 million



in the corresponding period in 2019 primarily driven by growth of domestic case volumes. International revenue was $1.5 million in the fourth quarter 2020 compared to $1.3 million in the corresponding period in 2019.

Gross margin was 90% for the fourth quarter 2020, compared to 90% in the corresponding period in 2019, and 87% in the third quarter of 2020. The increase in gross margin compared to the third quarter of 2020 was primarily driven by management of operations expense as revenue recovered and a decrease in inventory write-downs.  

Operating expenses increased 6% to $27.7 million in the fourth quarter 2020 compared to $26.3 million in the corresponding period in 2019. The increase was primarily driven by higher sales and marketing and research and development expenses, mainly from increased sales hiring and new product development costs. The increase was partly offset by a reduction in general and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to an additional litigation accrual of $0.6 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Operating loss was $7.9 million in the fourth quarter 2020, as compared to $8.5 million in the corresponding period in 2019.

Net loss was $9.0 million, or $0.28 per diluted share for the fourth quarter 2020, as compared to $9.1 million, or $0.36 per diluted share in the corresponding period in 2019.

2020 Financial Results

Revenue was $73.4 million for 2020, a 9% increase from $67.3 million in 2019. U.S. revenue for 2020 was $68.1 million, a 10% increase from $61.8 million in 2019, primarily driven by growth of domestic case volumes. International revenue was $5.3 million in 2020 compared to $5.5 million in 2019.

Gross margin was 88% in 2020 compared to 90% in 2019. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in write-downs of iFuse related inventory as a result of faster than anticipated adoption of iFuse-3D. Gross margin was also impacted by higher cost of operations to support the growth of the business.  

Operating expenses increased 7% to $103.1 million in 2020 compared to $96.5 million in 2019. The increase was primarily driven by higher sales and marketing and research and development expenses, mainly from increased sales hiring and new product development costs. The increase was partly offset by a reduction in general and administrative expenses, primarily due to aggregate litigation accruals of $3.2 million recorded in 2019.

Operating loss was $38.6 million in 2020, as compared to $36.0 million in 2019.

Net loss was $43.7 million, or $1.50 per diluted share for 2020, as compared to $38.4 million, or $1.55 per diluted share in 2019.

Cash and marketable securities were $196.4 million as of December 31, 2020.

2021 Financial Guidance




While SI-BONE has continued to see positive trends in its business, COVID-19 has had and may continue to have an impact on our business. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's business has differed by geography and region. The Company's 2021 outlook is highly sensitive to assumptions on a global recovery, which anticipates more normalized case scheduling and elective procedure levels progressing throughout the year. Based on these assumptions, the Company expects total 2021 revenue of approximately $92 million to $94 million, representing growth of 25% to 28% compared to full year 2020.

About SI-BONE

SI-BONE is a medical device company that pioneered minimally invasive surgery of the SI joint with the iFuse Implant System. Studies have shown that the SI joint can be a source of pain in 15% to 30% of chronic low back pain. The iFuse Implant™, commercially available since 2009, is the only SI joint fusion device supported by multiple prospective clinical studies, including two randomized controlled trials, showing improved pain, patient function and quality of life resulting from treatment. There are over 90 peer-reviewed publications demonstrating the safety, durable effectiveness, and biomechanical and economic benefits unique to the iFuse Implant (www.si-bone.com/results). This body of evidence has enabled multiple government and private insurance payors to establish coverage of the SI joint fusion procedure exclusively when performed with the iFuse Implant System.

The iFuse Implant System is intended for sacroiliac fusion for conditions including sacroiliac joint dysfunction that is a direct result of sacroiliac joint disruption and degenerative sacroiliitis. This includes conditions whose symptoms began during pregnancy or in the peripartum period and have persisted postpartum for more than 6 months. The iFuse Implant System is also intended for sacroiliac fusion to augment stabilization and immobilization of the sacroiliac joint in skeletally mature patients undergoing sacropelvic fixation as part of a lumbar or thoracolumbar fusion. In addition, the iFuse Implant System is intended for sacroiliac fusion in acute, non-acute, and non-traumatic fractures involving the sacroiliac joint. There are potential risks associated with the iFuse Implant System. It may not be appropriate for all patients and all patients may not benefit.

Forward-Looking Statements
The statements in this press release regarding expectations of future events or results, including SI-BONE’s expectations of continued growth and financial outlook, contained in this press release are "forward-looking" statements. These forward-looking statements are based on SI-BONE's current expectations and inherently involve significant risks and uncertainties. These risks include the impact the COVID-19 pandemic will have on the ability and desire of patients and physicians to undergo procedures using the iFuse Implant System, the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, whether the COVID-19 pandemic will recur in the future, and SI-BONE's ability to increase demand for iFuse, and obtain favorable coverage and reimbursement determinations from third-party payors. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of these and other risks and uncertainties, many of which are described in the company's most recent filings on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, and the company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission



(SEC) available at the SEC's Internet site (www.sec.gov), especially under the caption "Risk Factors".
