AXOGEN : MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (form 10-Q) – marketscreener.com
Posted: at 1:53 am
Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this report to"Axogen," the "Company," "we," "us" and "our" refer to Axogen, Inc., and itswholly owned subsidiaries Axogen Corporation ("AC"), Axogen ProcessingCorporation, and Axogen Europe GmbH.OVERVIEWWe are the leading company focused specifically on the science, development andcommercialization of technologies for peripheral nerve regeneration and repair.We are passionate about helping to restore peripheral nerve function and qualityof life to patients with physical damage or transection to peripheral nervesproviding innovative, clinically proven and economically effective repairsolutions for surgeons and health care providers. Peripheral nerves provide thepathways for both motor and sensory signals throughout the body. Every daypeople suffer traumatic injuries or undergo surgical procedures that impact thefunction of their peripheral nerves. Physical damage to a peripheral nerve, orthe inability to properly reconnect peripheral nerves, can result in the loss ofmuscle or organ function, the loss of sensory feeling or the initiation of pain.Our platform for peripheral nerve repair features a comprehensive portfolio ofproducts, including Avance Nerve Graft, a biologically active off-the-shelfprocessed human nerve allograft for bridging severed peripheral nerves withoutthe comorbidities associated with a second surgical site, Axoguard NerveConnector, a porcine submucosa extracellular matrix ("ECM") coaptation aid fortensionless repair of severed peripheral nerves, Axoguard Nerve Protector, aporcine submucosa ECM product used to wrap and protect injured peripheral nervesand reinforce the nerve reconstruction while preventing soft tissue attachments,Axoguard Nerve Cap, a porcine submucosa ECM product used to protect aperipheral nerve end and separate the nerve from the surrounding environment toreduce the development of symptomatic or painful neuroma and Avive Soft TissueMembrane, a processed human umbilical cord intended for surgical use as aresorbable soft tissue barrier. Along with these core surgical products, we alsooffer the Axotouch Two-Point Discriminator, used to measure the innervationdensity of any surface area of the skin. Our portfolio of products is availablein the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, several European countries,South Korea and other international countries.Revenue from the distribution of our nerve repair products, Avance Nerve Graft,Axoguard Nerve Connector, Axoguard Nerve Protector, Axoguard Nerve Cap and AviveSoft Tissue Membrane, in the United States is the main contributor to our totalreported sales and has been the key component of our growth to date.We have experienced that surgeons initially are cautious adopters for nerverepair products. Surgeons typically start with a few cases and then wait andreview the results of these initial cases. Active accounts are usually past thiswait period and have developed some level of product reorder. These activeaccounts have typically gone through the committee approval process, have atleast one surgeon who has converted a portion of his or her treatment algorithmsof peripheral nerve repair to the our portfolio and have ordered our products atleast six times in the last 12 months. In the first quarter, we had 919 activeaccounts, an increase of 26% from 731 one year ago. Active accounts areapproximately 85% of our revenue. The top 10% of these active accounts continueto represent approximately 35% of our revenue. As our business continues togrow, we will transition to reporting a new account metric that we believedemonstrates the strength of adoption and potential revenue growth in accountsthat have developed a more consistent use of Axogen products in their nerverepair algorithm. We refer to these as "Core Accounts" which we define as activeaccounts that have purchased at least $100,000 in the past 12 months. In thefirst quarter, we had 274 Core Accounts, an increase of 13% from 243 one yearago. These Core Accounts represented approximately 60% of our revenue in thequarter, which has remained consistent over the past two years.As such, revenue growth primarily occurs from increased purchasing from activeaccounts, followed by revenue growth from new accounts. During the COVID-19pandemic, we kept our sales team and broader commercial organization intact andtook the opportunity to provide extensive sales training. Our sales teamdeveloped skills and shared best practices around remote case support wherehospital access has been restricted. We believe this remote support has beenappreciated by customers and has expanded our sales team's ability to supportsurgeons and their patients during COVID-19 and beyond.There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies fromthose disclosed in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K. 25-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of ContentsResults of OperationsComparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 2020 % of % of Amount Revenue Amount Revenue (dollars in thousands)Revenues $ 31,037 100.0 % $ 24,261 100.0 %Cost of goods sold 5,172 16.7 4,816 19.9Gross Profit 25,865 83.3 19,445 80.1Cost and expensesSales and marketing 17,973 57.9 17,838 73.5Research and development 5,748 18.5 4,614 19.0General and administrative 8,364 26.9 5,502 22.7Total costs and expenses 32,085 103.4 27,954 115.2Loss from operations (6,220) (20.0) (8,509) (35.1)Other (expense) income:Investment income 34 0.1 311 1.3Interest expense (444) (1.4) (31) 0.0Change in fair value of derivatives - - 0.0Other expense (30) (0.1) 37 0.1Total other (expense) income, net (440) (1.4) 317 1.4Net Loss $ (6,660) (21.5) % $ (8,192) (33.8) %RevenuesRevenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 increased 28% to $31,037 ascompared to $24,261 for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Prior year stock compensation included a credit of $1,697 on stockcompensation primarily reflecting lower estimates of performance stock awardsthat would be earned resulting from the impact of COVID-19 on performancemetrics for these awards. Additionally, the increase over prior year alsoincludes higher compensation, litigation expenses as well as increased expensesfor our new Tampa facility. These expenses were partially offset by decreases intravel, in-person conferences and surgeon education programs due to COVID-19related restrictions.

The increase inproduct development expenses reflect increased spending in specific programs,including our efforts related to the BLA for Avance Nerve Graft and a nextgeneration Avance product. Additionally, pandemic related restrictions loweredspending on certain of our clinical study programs. In the first quarter of2021, we reinitiated activities in our Sensation-NOW and Rethink PainRegistries, and we expect that these and other clinical activities will continueto increase across the coming quarters. As a percentage of total revenues,research and development expenses remained flat at 19% for both three monthsended March 31, 2021 and 2021.General and administrative expenses increased 52% to $8,364 for the three monthsended March 31, 2021, as compared to $5,502 for the three months ended March 31,2020. The prior year quarter included $1,800 of lower non-cash stockcompensation primarily related to lower estimates of performance stock unitsthat would be earned resulting from the impact of COVID-19 on performancemetrics for these awards. Additionally, current year general and administrativeexpenses include litigation charges of $837. As a percentage of total revenues,general and administrative expenses increased to 27% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021, as compared to 23% for the three months ended March 31, 2020.Other Income and ExpensesWe recognized total other expense of $440 for the three months ended March 31,2021, compared to other income of $317 for the three months ended March 31,2020. The change is primarily due to interest expense recognized in the currentperiod on our current financing agreement with Oberland Capital (the "OberlandFacility") that began June 30, 2020, and lower investment income from our assetmanagement program as we lowered our investment balances and increased cashreserves.Income TaxesWe had no income tax expense or benefit for each of the three months ended March31, 2021 and 2020, due to the incurrence of net operating losses in each ofthese periods, the benefits of which have been fully reserved. We do not believethat there are any additional tax expenses or benefits currently available.Liquidity and Capital ResourcesCash Flow InformationAs of March 31, 2021, we had cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of$46,176, a decrease of $9,433 from $55,609 at December 31, 2020, primarily as aresult of capital expenditures related to the biologics processing center inVandalia, Ohio, and other operating activities.We had working capital of $112,872 and a current ratio of 6.1x at March 31,2021, compared to working capital of $122,420 and a current ratio of 6.4x atDecember 31, 2020. The decrease in working capital and the current ratio atMarch 31, 2021, as compared to December 31, 2020, was primarily due to cashpayments in the quarter offset by higher receivables balance and inventorybalance at the end of the quarter due to increasing sales. We believe we havesufficient cash resources to meet our liquidity requirements for at least thenext 12 months based on our expected level of operations.Our future capital requirements depend on a number of factors including, withoutlimitation, revenue increases consistent with our business plan, cost ofproducts and acquisition and/or development of new products. We could faceincreasing capital needs. Such capital needs could be substantial depending onthe extent to which we are unable to increase revenue. 27-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of ContentsIf we need additional capital in the future, we could draw additional debtproceeds of up to an additional $40,000 from the our current financing agreementwith Oberland Capital subject to certain restrictions as set forth in theagreement and described in Note 10 - Long Term Debt in the Notes to CondensedConsolidated Financial Statements. If necessary, we may raise additional fundsthrough public or private equity offerings, debt financings or from othersources. The sale of additional equity would result in dilution to ourshareholders. There is no assurance that we will be able to secure funding onterms acceptable to us, or at all. The increasing need for capital could alsomake it more difficult to obtain funding through either equity or debt. Shouldadditional capital not become available to us as needed, we may be required totake certain action, such as slowing sales and marketing expansion, delayingregulatory approvals or reducing headcount.

Texas is about to allow residents to carry handguns without a license or training – Yahoo News
Posted: at 1:53 am
The Texas Senate on Wednesday voted to allow most Texans to carry handguns without any sort of permit or training, sending the legislation to a conference committee with the House, which already passed a similar measure. Gov. Greg Abbott (R) said last week he will sign the bill. The Senate passed permitless carry on a party-line 18-13 vote, "less than a week after it sailed out of a committee created to specifically to tackle the legislation," The Texas Tribune reports. Every Republican voted for it, but several voiced concerns about the legislation during debate.
The legislation, considered too fringe during previous legislative sessions, faced opposition from law enforcement groups, firearms instructors, and Democrats. Currently, Texans must undergo four to six hours of training, pass a written exam and shooting proficiency test, and get fingerprinted to carry a handgun.
State Sen. Charles Schwertner (R), who sponsored the bill in the Senate, argued that gun safety is a personal responsibility. "The obligation on the part of the citizen who owns a potentially dangerous weapon to understand gun laws, to become proficient in their handling of their gun, is not absolved," he said. One Republican who showed up to vote for unlicensed carry despite injuries from a car accident collapsed on the Senate floor during debate.
Texans oppose unlicensed carry, 59 percent to 34 percent, according to a University of Texas/Texas Tribune poll from April. When asked, 46 percent of Texans would make gun laws stricter while 30 percent would leave them untouched and 20 percent would loosen them further, the poll found. Three-quarters favor requiring criminal and mental background checks before all gun sales.
"A lot of the [legislative] agenda right now seems at odds with public opinion," said James Henson, co-director of UT/Texas Tribune poll. "Guns is the best example" of Republican lawmakers chasing policies that "come from the most conservative wing of the majority party," he added. "But this is also notable on the abortion questions."

87% of High-growth Sales Organizations Take a Value-based Approach to Sales, According to New Research – GlobeNewswire

ValueSelling Associates and Training Industry study shows soft skills active listening, empathy, and presentation skills -- differentiate companies that grew from those that didnt in 2020
RANCHO SANTA FE, Calif., Feb. 16, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- According to research findings released today by ValueSelling Associates, Inc., 87% of high-growth companies take a value-based approach to sales compared to 45% of negative-growth companies. What top-performing salespeople do differently is focus on helping prospects understand the value gained from the product or service through each customer interaction.
New research findings also show that soft skills matter. They are especially crucial when salespeople and their customers encounter market uncertainty and rapidly shifting business needs, as we saw in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and economic uncertainty. The soft skills that top sales performers are better at include:
Weve all had to change in response to 2020s unexpected events. The sales teams that adapted to change enabled companies to excel despite the challenges they faced, while other companies reported low or negative growth, said Julie Thomas, CEO and President of ValueSelling Associates. As you plan for 2021, keep in mind that a virtual selling and buying process is here to stay. Sales organizations need to be agile and flexible in using new techniques and tactics that align with evolving buyer preferences.
ValueSelling Associates, Inc. and Training Industry, Inc. surveyed online 256 U.S. sales leaders and learning and development decision-makers about the approach their companies are taking toward sales skills and managing change through a global crisis.
Two distinct groups of companies emerged from the study high revenue growth companies and negative revenue growth companies. High-growth companies leaders said 2020 was a banner year of growth, while negative-growth companies leaders said 2020 was the worst of the last five years.
Key study findings include:

Microsoft Azure is Sharing Customer Information and Allowing Publishers to Contact Customers – WinBuzzer
Posted: at 2:53 pm
A security researcher says Microsoft Azure and Canonical are creating a privacy issue by allowing sales reps to track users spinning Ubuntu Linux on Azure. Bentley Systems advisor Luca Bongiorini was stunned when a Canonical sales rep contact him shortly after he spun an instance of Ubuntu 18.04 on Microsofts cloud platform.
Just three hours later, he received a message from a rep saying, I saw that you spun up an Ubuntu image in Azure. Bongiorni was stunned that a salesperson was able to track him in such a manner. It is worth noting Canonical is the developers behind Ubuntu.
Outraged by this breach of privacy, the security expert was less than diplomatic in his response: What the f*** is happening here? WHY [did] MICROSOFT FORWARDED TO UBUNTU THAT I SPUN A NEW VM!?! Customer privacy, whats that?
The situation provided Microsoft rivals with a chance to score some free points against the company. Corey Quinn, Chief Cloud Economist for Duckbill Group but also a pro-Amazon Web Services (AWS) blogger suggests Microsoft is playing fast and lose with user information:
@azure had a GOLDEN opportunity to pull a we dont mine your data, we dont compete with you, WHO KNOWS what @GCPcloud and @awscloud do with your confidential cloud info! Instead, they legit did exactly what their competitors dont, but we worry about.
So, is Microsoft allowing third-party services to have almost instant access to Azure data? ZDNet reached out to the company for an explanation. According to a spokesperson, its withing Azures T&Cs to allow service/app publishers to access customer data when their product is used:
Customer privacy and trust is our top priority at Microsoft. We do not sell any information to third-party companies and only share customer information with Azure Marketplace publishers when customers deploy their product, as outlined in our Terms and Conditions. Our terms with our publishers allow them to provide customers with implementation and technical support for their products but restricts them from using contact details for marketing purposes.
Canonical confirms this is what happened in this instance:
As per the Azure T&Cs, Microsoft shares with Canonical, the publisher of Ubuntu, the contact details of developers launching Ubuntu instances on Azure. These contact details are held in Canonicals CRM in accordance with privacy rules. On February 10th, a new Canonical Sales Representative contacted one of these developers via LinkedIn, with a poor choice of word. In light of this incident, Canonical will be reviewing its sales training and policies.
Microsoft also adds:
If you purchase or use a Marketplace Offering, we may share with the Publisher of such Offering your contact information and details about the transaction and your usage. We will not share your Customer Data (as defined in this Section 3) with any Publisher without your permission.
One problem here is Microsoft is clearly offering a blurry privacy setup that may confuse Azure customers. For example, how does contact information (which can be shared) not fall under the same classification as Customer Data (which requires consent)?
This probably means the original Azure wrap up agreement you know, the one no-one reads but agrees to anyway is all the consent Microsoft needs to share contact information. As for Bongiorini, once was enough and he is jumping to another cloud provider.

From snooker to sales how one world class player is taking the business world by storm – Portsmouth News
Posted: at 2:53 pm
Stephen Tierney, from Locks Heath, spent five years practising daily with former World Champion Stephen Hendry and was doubles partner to four-time World Champion John Higgins.
Now hes channelling his energy into something entirely different and he is making his mark with his Portsmouth-based firm Mindcell Sales Training
I started playing snooker at the age of four, said Stephen.

Snooker was my obsession. I turned professional and mixed it with the very best in the world.
In my snooker career I had seen how the very elite professionals thought and operated.
I became hugely interested in what set them above the rest and so I studied and qualified as a sports psychologist and decided to apply my skills to sales training.
Stephen said that becoming an elite salesperson is similar to becoming an elite sportsperson.
The 46-year-old said: I have developed a specific program called The Profitable Sales System. Its based on psychology, emotional intelligence and trust-based consultative selling.
I help change the sales peoples current thinking and focus which is so important during this pandemic, coach the new acquired sales skills, then inspire and motivate them to get elite performance. Its how great coaches work.
And he said the world of sport had lots of practical lessons to teach business.
Stephen, who is originally from Glasgow, said: I took a truck worker who was working on the tools for Macs Trucks Ltd and wanted to get into sales.
He had great product knowledge from working on the tools but had never sold anything in his life before, so we were starting at ground zero.
I spent three days with him setting up and training everything from the fundamentals of selling, frameworks, phone work, face to face, persuasion, influencing and closing the deal.
After the three days onsite I worked with him for three months through online coaching. The result was, he became the top seller in month two and sold over 844,000 worth of truck sales in his first three months.
I worked with one chap in telecoms and in the first five months of the lockdown he closed over 600,000 worth of contract business.
As well as being a sports psychologist, Stephen also draws on his qualifications of NLP (neuro-linguistic programming), executive coaching and hypnosis practitioner.
The married dad-of-three said: The mind is extremely powerful. Sometimes it takes time to unlearn bad habits.
Our training programs are usually six to 12 months because single training days simply dont work.
Firms that want to have elite performers on board understand that this investment leads to huge increases in sales and is well worth it.
Chevy Bolt sales surge with new markets, attention – Automotive News
Posted: January 9, 2021 at 3:55 am
"They're trying to drum up a little bit of excitement and show that they have some traction in the EV sector as they go into this rollout of this whole new onslaught of EVs," said Paul Waatti, an analyst with AutoPacific. "They need to build a little bit of credibility going into that."
Last year, GM said it would invest $27 billion toward electric and autonomous vehicle development and launch 30 EVs through 2025. Today, the automaker's only U.S. EV is the Bolt, but GM has a utility version of it coming this year along with the GMC Hummer pickup, followed by the Cadillac Lyriq in 2022.
Bolt sales rose 26 percent in 2020 after more than doubling to 6,701 from October through December. The Bolt was the top-selling EV built by a traditional automaker, surpassing the Nissan Leaf by more than 2,000 vehicles in the fourth quarter.
One of Chevy's objectives last year was to expand Bolt volume beyond California, Steve Hill, vice president of Chevrolet, told reporters last week.
