The Marietta, Ga.-based company reported losses of -$8.4 million, or -9¢ per share, on sales of $59.9 million for the three months ended March 31, for a sales loss of -2.87% compared with Q1 2020.

On the commercial front, I am pleased to report that we are on track with the continued recruitment of highly skilled field personnel to grow our core business.

“Looking ahead, we remain committed to executing our long-term, strategic initiatives that are designed to deliver meaningful value to all our stakeholders, and are steadfast in our mission to improve people’s health and lives through evidence-based regenerative technologies that make healing possible.”

MiMedx said it expects to log adjusted net sales for 2021 that are consistent with the year prior.
