Orthofix International (NASDAQ: OFIX) reported Q1 EPS of $0.17, $0.15 better than the analyst estimate of $0.02. Revenue for the quarter came in at $106 million versus the consensus estimate of $95.61 million.

• Net sales of $106 million, up 1% compared to prior year, after a strong recovery in March
• U.S. Spinal Implants net sales grew 19% compared to prior year, as net sales increased for both Spine Fixation and Motion Preservation
• Performed the first cervical and lumbar procedures utilizing our new 3D-printed titanium interbody implants with Nanovate™ Technology
• Announced exclusive licensing agreement with Italy-based IGEA S.p.A. to expand our Bone Growth Therapies portfolio

“We are excited about the topline performance of the business during the first quarter, particularly as we continued to contend with the headwinds of the global pandemic and the added challenges of the recent severe winter weather-related disruption,” said Orthofix President and Chief Executive Officer Jon Serbousek. “We are pleased with the positive revenue impact from initiatives we put into place in 2020, including a focus on new product introductions and the development of our U.S. commercial channel. Both our M6-C™ artificial cervical disc and the FITBONE® lengthening nail delivered during the quarter, and we saw positive revenue contributions from increased product adoption driven by new strategic distribution partners.”

“Looking forward into 2021, we plan to continue to generate commercial momentum and execute future product launches to drive growth. An unrelenting focus on operational execution, product innovation and differentiation, and our commercial channel will continue to be core tenets of our growth strategy. We expect that products such as the M6-C artificial cervical disc, the FITBONE limb lengthening system, and our recently bolstered 3D-printed titanium spinal interbody portfolio to be important drivers of that growth.”
