Management Commentary
"Third quarter was one of transition as the company launched and integrated two key new product platforms during the quarter, the DEXA-L and Hydra ARO, both of which have begun to be implanted into patients," said Trent Northcutt, CEO of Aurora Spine. "These two launches round out the company's mission of pivoting to developing and selling proprietary products. Now that these products have been launched, our team is highly focused on commercializing all of our product platforms. Initial feedback of these two new product launches has been extremely positive and should act as excellent growth catalysts for Aurora Spine in the years to come."
"I am very pleased with the progress we've made at Aurora and feel very confident in the company's proprietary product platforms we've developed, as they are revolutionizing the industry of spinal pain through minimally invasive procedures. Our products are extremely new to the marketplace, and it is our goal now to build out our sales team by adding more territories. The market is primed for our platform technologies, and it is up to our team to educate interventionalists and surgeons alike of Aurora Spine's proprietary products, which offer many benefits to them and their patients. This includes alleviating patient's back pain in a quick and seamless manner, with better outcomes and faster recovery times. I'm extremely excited about our future prospects and look forward to building momentum into the remainder of the year and fiscal 2026 with our deep line up of proprietary products," concluded Mr. Northcutt.
Chad Clouse, Chief Financial Officer of Aurora Spine, commented, "The company is operating extremely efficiently. We continue to focus on our collections activities and converting receivables over to cash as soon as practicable. We also continue to cautiously monitor our expenses and have been successful in finding new vendors at times to improve efficiency and maintain tight expense controls. While we will remain diligent on our expenses, we believe that the company is sufficiently capitalized to pursue growth opportunities."
Financial Results
Revenues: Total revenues for the third quarter of 2025 were $4.43 million, a decrease of 7.1% when compared to $4.77 million in the same quarter one year ago. The current period shows decreases in lumbar sales as the Company transitioned from a third-party lumbar screw to the Osteo Onyx lumbar product. Sales of lumbar screws is down 30% from Q1 as the company works with facilities and doctors to complete the transition.
Gross Margin: Gross margin on total revenues was 60.9% for the third quarter of 2025, compared to 60.5% in Q3 of 2024. Gross margin was slightly higher due to more direct sales which decreased distributor commissions.
Operating Expenses: Total operating expenses were $2.81 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $2.81 million in the third quarter of 2024. Operating expenses in Q3 2025 included $0.267 million of non-cash expenses, compared to $0.266 million of non-cash expenses. Operating expenses were in-line with the prior year, despite higher marketing expenses, which were offset by a decrease in G&A and consulting fees.
EBITDAC: EBITDAC (a non-GAAP figure non IFRS measure defined as Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, Amortization and Stock based compensation) was $165,600 for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $380,117 in the third quarter of 2024. EBITDAC was lower from year ago results due to lower revenue levels.
Net loss: Net loss was $(0.142) million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to the third quarter of 2024 with income of $0.070 million. Basic and diluted net (loss) income per share was $(0.00) per share in the third quarter of 2025 and $0.00 per share for the third quarter of 2024.
