2022 Annual Guidance Update

“In this highly variable environment, we are factoring greater caution into our guidance to re-baseline expectations for the next few quarters,” said Leigh Vosseller, executive vice president and chief financial officer. “The timing of our potential new product introductions next year adds increased complexity to the current market dynamics, so we feel it’s prudent for our guidance to reflect more moderate growth in periods between new product launches.”

For the year ending December 31, 2022, the Company is updating its financial guidance as follows:

• Non-GAAP sales* are estimated to be in the range of $800 million to $805 million, which represents an annual sales growth of 14 percent to 15 percent compared to 2021. The Company’s prior sales guidance for 2022 was estimated to be in the range of $835 million to $845 million.
  • Sales inside the United States of approximately $592 million to $595 million, compared to the prior guidance of $620 million to $625 million.
  • Sales outside the United States of approximately $208 million to $210 million, compared to the prior guidance of $215 million to $220 million.
• Non-GAAP gross margin* is estimated to be approximately 52 percent, compared to the prior guidance of 52 percent to 53 percent.
• Adjusted EBITDA margin* is estimated to be approximately 7 percent to 8 percent of sales, compared to the prior guidance of 11 percent of sales.
• Non-cash charges included in cost of goods sold and operating expenses are estimated to be approximately $100 million, an increase from the Company’s prior guidance. This includes:
  • Approximately $85 million non-cash, stock-based compensation expense.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Certain non-GAAP financial measures are presented in this press release, including non-GAAP sales, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP net loss, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, as well as adjusted EBITDA margin, to provide information that may assist investors in understanding the Company’s financial results and assessing its prospects for future performance. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are important operating performance indicators because they exclude items that are unrelated to, and may not be indicative of, the Company’s core operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures, as calculated, may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies and may not be appropriate measures for comparing the performance of other companies relative to the Company. These non-GAAP financial results are not intended to represent, and should not be considered to be more meaningful measures than, or alternatives to, measures of operating performance as determined in accordance with GAAP. To the extent the Company utilizes such non-GAAP financial measures in the future, they will be calculated using a consistent method from period to period. A reconciliation of each of the GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable non-GAAP financial measures has been provided under the heading “Reconciliation of GAAP versus Non-GAAP Financial Results” in the financial statement tables attached to this press release. Consistent with SEC regulations, the Company has not provided a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in reliance on the “unreasonable efforts” exception set forth in the applicable regulations, because there is substantial uncertainty associated with predicting any future adjustments that may be made to the Company’s GAAP financial measures in calculating the non-GAAP financial measures.
