Prior to Zimmer Biomet, Mr. Chahine served as Chief Operating Officer and CFO of Global Stanley Security at Stanley Black & Decker prior to the business’s $4.1 billion sale. He was also previously CFO at CIRCOR International, leading takeover defense efforts and implementing significant cost-saving measures.

Restatement

 

As previously announced in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 30, 2024, on July 30, 2024, the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors and in consultation with management, concluded that its audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods ended March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, September 30, 2023, and March 31, 2024 could no longer be relied upon as a result of material accounting errors identified by management. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 have been restated in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed on August 8, 2024 to reflect the correction of identified errors in the calculation of excess and obsolete inventory, as well as its accounting for inventory variances, which resulted in a net overstatement of inventory as of March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2023, and a net understatement in cost of goods sold for the respective interim periods ended on such dates and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. Additionally, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2024 have been restated in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A filed on August 8, 2024 to reflect the correction of identified errors in the calculation of excess and obsolete inventory, as well as its accounting for inventory variances, which resulted in a net overstatement of inventory as of March 31, 2024 and a net understatement in cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2024. In connection with the presentation of comparative prior period financial statements in the amended Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the Company revised the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 and the condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim periods for such year, each as presented in the amended Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, to correct errors identified that were determined to be immaterial both individually and in the aggregate.

Forward Looking Statements

 

Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters set forth in this press release are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, but not limited to: Paragon 28’s potential to shape a better future for foot and ankle patients; the Company’s preliminary financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024; statements about the Company’s 2024 net revenue guidance; reaffirming the Company’s 2024 net revenue guidance ranges; the anticipated timing of the filing of the restated filings; the financial statements to be restated and the filings in which such restated financial statements will appear; the Company's intent to report material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting; and the Company’s operational efficiency strategy. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are only predictions based on our current expectations, estimates, and assumptions, valid only as of the date they are made, and subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which we are not currently aware. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and may not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by, which such performance or results will be achieved. These forward-looking statements are based on Paragon 28’s current expectations and inherently involve significant risks and uncertainties and are subject to numerous risks, including, among other things, risks related to the timely and correct completion of the restatement and restated filings; the risk that additional information may become known prior to the expected filing with the SEC of the restated filings or that other subsequent events may occur that would require the Company to make additional adjustments to its financial statements, which could be material, or delay the filing of the corrected or future periodic reports with the SEC; risks related to the timing and results of the Company’s review of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and related disclosure controls and procedures, remediation of the control deficiencies identified and our ability to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in the future, which may adversely affect the accuracy and timeliness of our financial reporting; identification of errors in our financial reporting in the future that require us to restate previously issued financial statements, which may subject us to unanticipated costs or regulatory penalties and could cause investors to lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial statements; factors relating to uncertainties as to any difficulties with respect to the Company's operational efficiency strategy, including expenses associated such strategy; the effect of the announcement of the Company's operational efficiency strategy on the Company's ability to retain and hire key personnel and to maintain relationships with customers, suppliers and other business partners; risks related to the possible diversion of management’s attention as a result of the Company's operational efficiency strategy; uncertainties as to the Company's ability and the amount of time necessary to realize the expected benefits of the Company's operational efficiency strategy; and those set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of these risks and uncertainties. For a further description of the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those expressed in these forward-looking statements, as well as risks relating to Paragon 28’s business in general, see Paragon 28’s current and future reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as updated periodically with its other filings with the SEC. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this press release, and Paragon 28 assumes no obligation to update the forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those projected in the forward-looking statements, except as required by law. Paragon 28’s net revenue guidance for 2024 is not necessarily indicative of our operating results for any future periods.

 

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Their Limitations

 

In addition to our results and measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP presented in this press release, we believe that certain non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating and comparing our financial and operational performance over multiple periods, identifying trends affecting our business, formulating business plans, and making strategic decisions.

 

Adjusted EBITDA is a key performance measure that our management uses to assess our financial performance and is also used for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, employee stock purchase plan expense, non-recurring expenses, and certain other non-cash expenses.

 

 

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, together with a reconciliation to net income, helps identify underlying trends in our business and helps investors make comparisons between our company and other companies that may have different capital structures, tax rates, or different forms of employee compensation. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allowing for greater transparency with respect to a key financial metric used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making. Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these potential limitations include:

 

·

other companies, including companies in our industry which have similar business arrangements, may report Adjusted EBITDA, or similarly titled measures but calculate them differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures;

 

·

although depreciation and amortization expenses are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditures for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;

 

·

Adjusted EBITDA also does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs or the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation; and

 

·

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt that we may incur.

 

Additionally, we report revenue growth on a constant-currency basis in order to facilitate period-to-period comparisons of results without regard to the impact of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. The term foreign currency exchange rates refers to the exchange rates used to translate the company's operating results for all countries where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar into U.S. dollars. Because we are a global company, foreign currency exchange rates used for translation may have a significant effect on our reported results. References to revenue growth on a constant-currency basis means without the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

 

The company believes disclosure of constant-currency revenue growth rates is helpful to investors because it facilitates period-to-period comparisons. However, constant-currency revenue growth rates are non-GAAP financial measures and are not meant to be considered as an alternative or substitute for comparable measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Constant-currency growth has no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. We calculate constant-currency growth rates by translating local currency amounts in the current period at actual foreign exchange rates for the prior period.

 

Because of these and other limitations, you should consider our non-GAAP measures only as supplemental to other GAAP-based financial measures.

2 Copyright ©2024 Paragon 28. All rights reserved. Forward Looking Statements Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters set forth in this document are forward - looking statements within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 , including, but not limited to : Paragon 28 ’s potential to shape a better future for foot and ankle patients ; the Company’s preliminary financial results for the quarter ended June 30 , 2024 ; statements about the Company’s 2024 net revenue guidance ; reaffirming the Company’s 2024 net revenue guidance ranges ; the anticipated timing of the filing of the restated filings ; the financial statements to be restated and the filings in which such restated financial statements will appear ; the Company's intent to report material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting ; and the Company’s operational efficiency strategy . You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward - looking statements . Forward - looking statements are only predictions based on our current expectations, estimates, and assumptions, valid only as of the date they are made, and subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which we are not currently aware . Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and may not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by, which such performance or results will be achieved . These forward-looking statements are based on Paragon 28 ’s current expectations and inherently involve significant risks and uncertainties and are subject to numerous risks, including, among other things, risks related to the timely and correct completion of the restatement and restated filings ; the risk that additional information may become known prior to the expected filing with the SEC of the restated filings or that other subsequent events may occur that would require the Company to make additional adjustments to its financial statements, which could be material, or delay the filing of the corrected or future periodic reports with the SEC ; risks related to the timing and results of the Company’s review of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and related disclosure controls and procedures, remediation of the control deficiencies identified and our ability to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in the future, which may adversely affect the accuracy and timeliness of our financial reporting ; identification of errors in our financial reporting in the future that require us to restate previously issued financial statements, which may subject us to unanticipated costs or regulatory penalties and could cause investors to lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial statements ; factors relating to uncertainties as to any difficulties with respect to the Company's operational efficiency strategy, including expenses associated such strategy ; the effect of the announcement of the Company's operational efficiency strategy on the Company's ability to retain and hire key personnel and to maintain relationships with customers, suppliers and other business partners ; risks related to the possible diversion of management’s attention as a result of the Company's operational efficiency strategy ; uncertainties as to the Company's ability and the amount of time necessary to realize the expected benefits of the Company's operational efficiency strategy ; and those set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission . Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of these risks and uncertainties . For a further description of the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those expressed in these forward - looking statements, as well as risks relating to Paragon 28 ’s business in general, see Paragon 28 ’s current and future reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10 - K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31 , 2023 , as updated periodically with its other filings with the SEC . These forward - looking statements are made as of the date of this document, and Paragon 28 assumes no obligation to update the forward - looking statements, or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those projected in the forward - looking statements, except as required by law . Paragon 28 ’s net revenue guidance for 2024 is not necessarily indicative of our operating results for any future periods .

3 Copyright ©2024 Paragon 28. All rights reserved. Non - GAAP Financial Measures In addition to our results and measures of performance determined in accordance with U . S . GAAP presented in this document, we believe that certain non - GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating and comparing our financial and operational performance over multiple periods, identifying trends affecting our business, formulating business plans and making strategic decisions . Adjusted EBITDA is a key performance measure that our management uses to assess our financial performance and is also used for internal planning and forecasting purposes . We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, stock - based compensation expense, employee stock purchase plan expense, non - recurring expenses and certain other non - cash expenses . We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, together with a reconciliation to net income, helps identify underlying trends in our business and helps investors make comparisons between our company and other companies that may have different capital structures, tax rates, or different forms of employee compensation . Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allowing for greater transparency with respect to a key financial metric used by our management in its financial and operational decision - making . Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under U . S . GAAP . Some of these potential limitations include : • other companies, including companies in our industry which have similar business arrangements, may report Adjusted EBITDA, or si milarly titled measures but calculate them differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures; • although depreciation and amortization expenses are non - cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditures for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements; • Adjusted EBITDA also does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs or the potentially dilu tiv e impact of stock - based compensation; and • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal pa yme nts, on our debt that we may incur. Additionally, we report revenue growth on a constant - currency basis in order to facilitate period - to - period comparisons of results without regard to the impact of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates . The term foreign currency exchange rates refers to the exchange rates used to translate the company's operating results for all countries where the functional currency is not the U . S . dollar into U . S . dollars . Because we are a global company, foreign currency exchange rates used for translation may have a significant effect on our reported results . References to revenue growth on a constant - currency basis means without the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations . The company believes disclosure of constant - currency revenue growth rates is helpful to investors because it facilitates period - to - period comparisons . However, constant - currency revenue growth rates are non - GAAP financial measures and are not meant to be considered as an alternative or substitute for comparable measures prepared in accordance with GAAP . Constant - currency growth has no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP . We calculate constant - currency growth rates by translating local currency amounts in the current period at actual foreign exchange rates for the prior period . Because of these and other limitations, you should consider our non - GAAP measures only as supplemental to other GAAP - based financial measures .
