CARLSBAD, Calif., February 28, 2023 – Alphatec Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATEC), a provider of innovative solutions dedicated to revolutionizing the approach to spine surgery, today announced financial results for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022, and recent corporate highlights.
Recent Highlights
- Expanded lateral procedural sophistication with PTP and LTP the strongest contributors to Q4 and full year revenue growth;
- Drove a 26% increase in surgical volume and an 18% increase in average revenue per procedure in Q4;
- Trained over 500 surgeons in 2022, contributing to a 22% increase in surgeon users compared to prior year;
- Secured non-dilutive capital creating access to cash and liquidity of up to $275 million.
“I applaud the entire ATEC Family for delivering another record-breaking year,” said Pat Miles, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Our success endures because our priorities do not change: we focus exclusively on spine, pursue the unmet clinical needs of surgery, and we create innovative, integrated procedures to address those needs faster than others in the industry. Many of the leading minds in spine are attracted to ATEC because their passion, like ours, is to obsessively rethink surgical procedures from the ground up. At ATEC, our business is in the operating room. With the know-how we have assembled, I could not be more enthusiastic about the opportunities ahead.”

Non-GAAP Financial Information
To supplement the Company’s financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP), the Company reports certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating loss, and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with an additional tool for evaluating the Company’s core performance, which management uses in its own evaluation of continuing operating performance, and a baseline for assessing the future earnings potential of the Company. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in the Company’s industry, as other companies in the industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently, particularly related to non-recurring, unusual items. Non-GAAP financial results should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Included below are reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures.
Inducement Awards Granted
As an inducement material to accepting employment with the Company, and in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4), ATEC today announced that the independent Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has approved aggregate grants to twenty new employees (who are not executive officers) of, collectively, 22,349 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the Company’s 2016 Employment Inducement Award Plan. The RSUs will vest in equal annual installments on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date, provided that the recipient remains continuously employed by ATEC as of such vesting date. In addition, the RSUs will vest fully upon a change of control of ATEC.
