Executive Commentary –
“We had another steady quarter of progress as we executed our growth strategy. The environment for orthopedic surgical procedures has improved and we believe procedure levels will continue to normalize. We remain cautiously optimistic about the second half of the year as we aim to get back to our 2019 revenue run rate.
We continue to make progress with our new product development plans. As part of a limited market release, the first surgery using our patient-specific instrumentation with a Stryker knee implant recently occurred and was successful. We also obtained 510(k) clearance from the FDA for our new Imprint knee offering, and we expect our first surgeries to occur soon. We believe that these two new products position us well as medical facilities, particularly ambulatory surgical centers, continue returning to normal operations and look for efficient, cost-effective knee implant solutions.
We are also pleased that we have been able to continue protecting and monetizing our intellectual property. This quarter, we generated

Second Quarter 2021 Highlights
Revenue
- Increase in revenue year-over-year was driven primarily by increased elective procedure volumes, and an increase in royalty and licensing revenue related to patent license settlement and development agreements.
- Conformis Hip System revenue of
$0.9 million for the second quarter of 2021 was up 62% year-over-year and increased 38% from the first quarter of 2021. - Product Revenue compared to the second quarter of 2019 was down 21%, a sequential improvement from the 33% decline in the first quarter.
Gross Margin
- Total gross profit increased
$36.5 million to$47.5 million , or 84% of revenue, in the second quarter of 2021, compared to$11.0 million , or 57% of revenue, in the second quarter of 2020. - The 2,780 basis-point increase in gross margin year-over-year was driven primarily by the increase in royalty and licensing revenue associated with the Stryker development and license agreements and the settlement and license agreement with Stryker, Wright Medical, and Tornier.
- Product gross margin of 42% increased by 1,180 basis points as compared to the second quarter of 2020 driven primarily by lower cancelled case inventory expense and lower manufacturing variances as a result of increased production volumes.
Operating Expenses
- Total operating expenses of
$16.6 million , an increase of 25% year-over-year. - Sales and marketing expenses increased
$2.2 million primarily due to higher sales commissions, travel expenses, marketing programs, and training events. - Research and development expenses increased
$0.9 million primarily driven by personnel and project related costs to support our new product pipeline. - General and administrative expenses increased
$0.2 million primarily driven by higher professional fees related to the protection of our intellectual property.
Net Income
- Net income was
$38.0 million , or$0.21 per basic and diluted share, in the second quarter of 2021, compared to a net loss of$2.1 million , or$0.03 per basic and diluted share, in the same period last year. - Several non-recurring items drove net income this quarter including royalty and licensing revenue, forgiveness of the PPP loan plus accrued interest of
$4.8 million , and$2.5 million for the unused portion of the advance on research and development under the development agreement with Stryker. The last two items are included in other income. - Foreign currency exchange income was
$0.5 million in the second quarter of 2021, compared to$0.7 million in the same period last year. - Weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding of 177.7 million and 180.0 million respectively, for the second quarter of 2021, compared to 68.2 million for both weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding for the same period last year.

- Cash and cash equivalents totaled
$108.3 million as ofJune 30, 2021 , compared to$28.7 million as ofDecember 31, 2020 . $4.7 million PPP loan forgiven in full. Loan proceeds were used to maintain our staffing through the pandemic.
Outlook
- We expect our third quarter product revenue to improve sequentially from the second quarter and to be in the range of
$15.5 million to$16.5 million . - We believe elective procedure volumes will continue to improve and approach 2019 levels in the fourth quarter as vaccines become more widely available and medical facilities recover from pandemic-related staffing impacts.
