Third Quarter Highlights:
BELGRADE, MT--(BUSINESS WIRE) November
5, 2014 -- Bacterin International Holdings, Inc. (NYSE MKT: BONE), a leader in the development of bone graft material and coatings
for medical applications, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014.
Third quarter 2014 revenues were $8.454 million,
an increase of 6.6% over third quarter 2013 revenues of $7.930 million. The higher revenues reflect the company's ongoing investment
in its hybrid sales function calling on orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons.
"We continue to deliver solid,
organic, year-over-year growth," said Dan Goldberger, CEO of Bacterin International. "Our tenured sales representatives
are becoming more productive and we are more effectively recruiting experienced sales talent as well as increasing the number of
manufacturer representatives carrying Bacterin products."
Gross profit reported for the third quarter
of 2014 increased 17.9% to $5.436 million from $4.612 million reported for the third quarter of 2013. The higher gross profit was
due to sales mix and ongoing productivity improvements.
Gross margins for the period were 64.3%, an
increase over the Company's 2013 third quarter reported gross margin of approximately 58.2%. Although the Company's reported margins
were in excess of 63%, the Company reiterated its guidance on gross margins within the previously announced range of 61.0% to 63.0%.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Third quarter 2014 sales and marketing expenses
decreased 3.1% to $3.927 million, as compared to $4.054 million during the same period in 2013. Sales and marketing as a percentage
of revenues decreased to 46.5%, which compares favorably to 51.1% reported for the third quarter of 2013.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses for the
quarter decreased 16.3% to $2.282 million, compared to $2.727 million reported during the third quarter of 2013.
Research and Development Expenses
The Company reported third quarter 2014 research
and development expenses of approximately $378,000 related to its ongoing product development initiatives.
Loss from Operations
The reported third quarter 2014 loss from operations
was $1.250 million, a 46.7% decrease from the year-ago period operating loss of $2.347 million. "We continue to demonstrate
strong financial discipline in our organization as evidenced by our increasing gross margin and decreasing operating loss,"
said Dan Goldberger, CEO of Bacterin International.
The Company defines earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") as net income/loss from operations before depreciation, amortization
and non-cash stock-based compensation. EBITDA for the third quarter of 2014 was a loss of approximately $839,000, a significant
improvement over the third quarter of 2013 EBITDA loss of $1.847 million.
As of September 30, 2014 the Company had cash
and cash equivalents of approximately $6.953 million, which compares to $3.046 million as of December 31, 2013.

About the Presentation of EBITDA
EBITDA is not a financial measure calculated
and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be considered as an alternative
to net income, operating income or any other financial measures so calculated and presented, nor as an alternative to cash flow
from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. The company defines EBITDA as net income/(loss) from operations before depreciation,
amortization and non-cash stock-based compensation. Other companies (including competitors) may define EBITDA differently. The
company presents EBITDA because management believes it to be an important supplemental measure of performance that is commonly
used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Management
also uses this information internally for forecasting and budgeting. It may not be indicative of the historical operating results
of Bacterin nor is it intended to be predictive of potential future results. Investors should not consider EBITDA in isolation
or as a substitute for analysis of the company's results as reported under GAAP.
