MARIETTA, Ga., June 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- MiMedx Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: MDXG), an integrated developer, processor and marketer of patent-protected regenerative biomaterials and bioimplants processed from human amniotic membrane, announced today its revised guidance for the second quarter of 2014 and full year 2014.
Parker H. "Pete" Petit, Chairman and CEO, said, "Our sales organization continues to perform very effectively, and our most recent sales force additions are accelerating their revenue generation. Because of this trend, we increased the lower end of our second quarter guidance on May 27, 2014, to $22.5 million. With the first three weeks of June completed, we are seeing rapid revenue acceleration particularly in our new accounts. As we have done in the last several years, when we see solid results and market indications that justify a change in guidance, we communicate an update to our shareholders. Given our revenue performance through this point in the quarter, we are once again comfortable in raising our guidance for the second quarter."
On April 7, 2014, the Company initially published its second quarter revenue estimates to be in the range of $21.5 million to $23.5 million. On May 27, 2014, the Company raised its lower end estimate and communicated its expectations for second quarter revenue to be in the range of $22.5 million to $23.5 million. "Our updated estimates are for second quarter of 2014 revenue to be in the range of $24 million to $25 million," stated Petit.
Bill Taylor, President and Chief Operating Officer, commented, "We have raised the lower-end of our full year 2014 revenue estimates on two previous occasions. Now almost half way through the year, we continue to build confidence in our growth strategy. At this time, we are narrowing our full year 2014 guidance from $100 to $110 million to $105 to $110 million based on the strength of the first half of the year."
MiMedx intends to announce its guidance for the third quarter of 2014 when the Company issues its second quarter of 2014 results on July 29, 2014.
