ATEC Provides Business Update

Alphatec Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATEC), a provider of innovative solutions dedicated to revolutionizing the approach to spine surgery, provided a business update today, ahead of investor meetings scheduled for the NASS 2021 meeting.

The resurgence of COVID-19 in the U.S. has pressured surgical procedure volumes in spine and affected hospital operations in the third quarter of 2021, with the impact persisting into the final month of the period. While procedure volume is recovering in some regions, overall, it has been lower than expected. Despite these impacts, ATEC expects U.S. spine revenue to grow over 25% year-over-year in the third quarter due to the continued strength of surgeon adoption and increasing sales force penetration; however, the Company now expects third quarter U.S. spine revenue to be down sequentially compared to the second quarter 2021. The integration of EOS imaging continues to be on track.

Pat Miles, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Throughout the pandemic, ATEC has continued to relentlessly focus on stewarding better spine surgery through innovation. Our efforts have been rewarded with growth at rates well in excess of the overall spine industry, but we are not immune to the unpredictable market backdrop. We remain committed to setting the standard in spine surgery, and will continue to confidently navigate this dynamic environment.”

ATEC will showcase its comprehensive portfolio of innovative spine solutions and partner with renowned spine surgeons to demonstrate the clinical utility of the PTP technique and EOS imaging technology at the 2021 NASS meeting, which will be held at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center this week.
