CARLSBAD, Calif., Oct. 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SeaSpine Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ: SPNE), a global medical technology company focused on surgical solutions for the treatment of spinal disorders, announced today preliminary financial results for the third quarter of 2022.
Preliminary and Unaudited Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results
- Total revenue is expected to range from $66.7 to $67.2 million, reflecting 44% to 45% year-over-year growth
- U.S. revenue is expected to range from $50.9 to $51.2 million, reflecting 23% to 24% year-over-year growth
- U.S. spinal implants and enabling technologies revenue is expected to reflect 29% to 30% year-over-year growth
- U.S. orthobiologics revenue is expected to reflect 17% to 18% year-over-year growth

“Our revenue results once again exceeded expectations,” said Keith Valentine, President and Chief Executive Officer. “This year’s continued success results from our consistent execution across the organization and with our leading and innovative product portfolio in the hands of our transformational distributors and surgeon customers. We plan to carry this momentum and success into the fourth quarter, next year, and, more importantly, the next chapter of SeaSpine’s evolution with today’s announcement of our intent to merge with Orthofix Medical, Inc. Our combined portfolios will put us in a highly differentiated position in the spine market, combining leading bone growth therapy, enabling technologies, spinal implants, motion preservation and orthobiologics. This merger will be a union of two patient-focused companies with outstanding products that we believe will be stronger together.” 
2022 Financial Outlook
SeaSpine now expects full-year 2022 revenue to be in the range of $236 to $238 million, reflecting growth of approximately 23% to 24% over full-year 2021. This compares to previous revenue guidance of $234 million to $236 million.
The revenue range for full-year 2022 reflects growth of 16% to 19% for the fourth quarter of 2022, after excluding European spinal implants revenue generated in the fourth quarter of 2021. The Company completed its exit from the European spinal implants market in the third quarter of 2022.
