Nature of Business

MiMedx Group, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries except where the context otherwise requires “MiMedx,” or the “Company”) is an advanced wound care and emerging therapeutic biologics company, developing and distributing human placental tissue allografts with patent-protected processes for multiple sectors of healthcare. The Company derives its products from human placental tissues processed using proprietary processing methodologies. The Company’s mission is to offer physicians products and tissues to help the body heal itself. MiMedx provides products in the wound care, burn, surgical, orthopedic, spine, sports medicine, ophthalmic and dental sectors of healthcare. All of the Company’s products are regulated by the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”).

MiMedx is the leading supplier of human placental allografts, which are human tissues that are transplanted from one person (a donor) to another person (a recipient). The Company operates in one business segment, Regenerative Biomaterials, which includes the design, manufacture, and marketing of products for the wound care, burn, surgical, orthopedic, spine, sports medicine, ophthalmic and dental sectors of healthcare. The Company’s allograft product families include: the dHACM family with AmnioFix® and EpiFix® brands; the Umbilical family with EpiCord® and AmnioCord® brands; and the Placental Collagen family with AmnioFill™ brands. AmnioFix and EpiFix are tissue allografts derived from amnion and chorion layers of human placental membrane; EpiCord and AmnioCord are tissue allografts derived from umbilical cord tissue. AmnioFill is a placental connective tissue matrix, derived from the placental disc and other placental tissue.

The Company’s business model is focused primarily on the United States of America but the Company is exploring potential future international expansion opportunities.

Effect of COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic and governmental and societal responses thereto have affected the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. The continuation or additional waves of the outbreak of COVID-19 or the outbreak of other health epidemics could harm the Company’s operations and increase the Company’s costs and expenses in numerous ways. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. The Company does not yet know the full extent of delays or impacts on the business, clinical trials, healthcare systems or the global economy as a whole, or how long such effects will endure. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic or other health epidemics could have an adverse impact on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was signed into law. The CARES Act includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of the employer portion of certain payroll taxes, loans and grants to certain business, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. As a result of the CARES Act, the Company expects a federal tax refund of approximately $11.3 million and has recognized an income tax benefit of the same amount.
