(NYSE: AORT), a leading cardiac and vascular surgery company focused on aortic disease, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2024. "2024 was an excellent year for Artivion, marked by robust revenue and adjusted EBITDA growth, which enabled us to deliver positive free cash flow while making significant strides in key clinical and regulatory initiatives. Revenue growth in the fourth quarter was driven by year-over-year growth in On-X of 10%, stent grafts of 10%, and BioGlue of 8% all compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. On a constant currency basis, year-over-year, On-X, stent grafts, and BioGlue grew 10%, 8%, and 7%, respectively. We also saw continued revenue strength in Latin America which grew 26% both in the fourth quarter and for the full year 2024 on a constant currency basis compared to last year." said Pat Mackin, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Mackin continued, "In addition to our commercial results, we were also thrilled to receive a Humanitarian Device Exemption from the FDA for AMDS. This enables us to deliver our groundbreaking, life-saving technology to patients while we continue to work with the FDA toward PMA approval."   Mr. Mackin added, "Q4 was a continuation of the outstanding progress we saw this year on multiple clinical and regulatory fronts. First, new clinical data from our AMDS PERSEVERE trial was presented in a Late-Breaking Science session at the Society of Thoracic Surgeons. It demonstrated sustained benefit of AMDS out to one-year, including a 50% reduction in mortality at one-year as compared to the reference cohort. Second, we submitted our second module of the PMA application to the FDA for AMDS." Mr. Mackin concluded, "Finally, I'd like to thank our team members for their dedication to mitigating the late November 2024 cybersecurity incident and maintaining our ability to continue serving our customers and their patients. Thanks to their hard work, we are operating at normal levels across the business, with any remaining inefficiencies expected to be resolved in the near-term. While our Q4 revenues were negatively impacted, we do not expect this incident to meaningfully impact our business for the full year 2025. Looking ahead for 2025, we remain confident in our ability to execute on our best-in-class pipeline and drive sustained double-digit revenue growth and adjusted EBITDA growth at twice the pace of constant currency revenue growth." Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Results Total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2024 were $97.3 million, an increase of 4% on a GAAP basis and 3% on a non-GAAP constant currency basis, both compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $(16.5) million, or $(0.39) per fully diluted common share, compared to net loss of $(4.0) million, or $(0.10) per fully diluted common share for the fourth quarter of 2023. Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $0.2 million, or $0.00 per fully diluted common share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $4.6 million, or $0.11 per fully diluted common share for the fourth quarter of 2023. Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2024 includes pretax losses related to foreign currency revaluation of $5.4 million. Full Year 2024 Financial Results Total revenues for 2024 were $388.5 million, an increase of 10% on a GAAP basis and 9% on a non-GAAP constant currency basis, both compared to the full year of 2023. Net loss for 2024 was $(13.4) million, or $(0.32) per fully diluted common share, compared to net loss of $(30.7) million, or $(0.75) per fully diluted common share for the full year of 2023. Non-GAAP net income for the full year of 2024 was $10.8 million, or $0.25 per fully diluted common share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $8.4 million, or $0.20 per fully diluted common share for the full year of 2023. Non-GAAP net income for the full year of 2024 includes pretax losses related to foreign currency revaluation of $5.4 million. 2025 Financial Outlook Artivion expects revenues for the full year 2025 to be in the range of $420 to $435 million, representing growth of 10% to 14% on a constant currency basis compared to 2024. At current exchange rates, the Company expects currency to negatively impact year-over-year as reported revenue growth rates by approximately 2%. Additionally, Artivion expects adjusted EBITDA growth of between 18% and 28% for the full year 2025 compared to 2024, resulting in an expected range of $84 to $91 million for 2025. The Company's financial performance for 2025 and future periods is subject to the risks identified below. Non-GAAP Financial Measures This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP net income, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP general, administrative, and marketing expenses, and free cash flows. Investors should consider this non-GAAP information in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with US GAAP. In addition, this non-GAAP financial information may not be the same as similar measures presented by other companies. The Company's non-GAAP revenues are adjusted for the impact of changes in currency exchange. The Company's non-GAAP net income, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, general, administrative, and marketing, and free cash flows results primarily exclude (as applicable) depreciation and amortization expense, interest income and expense, non-cash compensation expense, loss or gain on foreign currency revaluation, income tax expense or benefit, business development, integration, and severance income or expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, non-cash interest expense, capital expenditures, and other non-recurring items. The Company generally uses non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate management's review of the operational performance of the Company and as a basis for strategic planning. Company management believes that these non-GAAP presentations provide useful information to investors regarding unusual non-operating transactions, the operating expense structure of the Company's existing and recently acquired operations, without regard to its on-going efforts to acquire additional complementary products and businesses, and the transaction and integration expenses incurred in connection with recently acquired and divested product lines, and the operating expense structure excluding fluctuations resulting from foreign currency revaluation and non-cash compensation expense. The Company believes it is useful to exclude certain expenses and revenues because such amounts in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of its business operations or can vary significantly between periods as a result of factors such as impact of recent acquisitions, non-cash expense related to amortization of previously acquired tangible and intangible assets, and any related adjustments to their carrying values. The Company has adjusted for the impact of changes in currency exchange from certain revenues to evaluate comparable product growth rates on a constant currency basis. The Company does, however, expect to incur similar types of expenses and currency exchange impacts in the future, and this non-GAAP financial information should not be viewed as a statement or indication that these types of expenses will not recur. Company management encourages investors to review the Company's consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety, including the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures. The Company's adjusted EBITDA expectations for fiscal 2025 exclude potential charges or gains that may be recorded during the fiscal year, relating to, among other things, non-cash compensation; business development, integration, and severance income or expense; loss on extinguishment of debt; and foreign currency revaluations. The Company does not attempt to provide reconciliations of forward-looking adjusted EBITDA to the comparable GAAP measure because the impact and timing of these potential charges or gains are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict and are unavailable without unreasonable efforts. In addition, the Company believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors. Such items could have a material impact on GAAP measures of the Company's financial performance. Webcast and Conference Call Information The Company will hold a teleconference call and live webcast on February 24, 2025, at 4:30 p.m. ET to discuss the results, followed by a question-and-answer session. To participate in the conference call dial 201-689-8261 a few minutes prior to 4:30 p.m. ET. The teleconference replay will be available approximately one hour following the completion of the event and can be accessed by calling (toll free) 877-660-6853 or 201-612-7415.

NEW YORK, Nov. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Allarity Therapeutics, Inc. ("Allarity" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: ALLR) and certain officers. The class action, filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and docketed under 24-cv-06952, is on behalf of a class consisting of all persons and entities other than Defendants that purchased or otherwise acquired Allarity securities between May 17, 2022 and July 19, 2024, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), seeking to recover damages caused by Defendants' violations of the federal securities laws and to pursue remedies under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, against the Company and certain of its top officials. If you are a shareholder who purchased or otherwise acquired Allarity securities during the Class Period, you have until November 12, 2024 to ask the Court to appoint you as Lead Plaintiff for the class. A copy of the Complaint can be obtained at . To discuss this action, contact Danielle Peyton at [email protected] or 646-581-9980 (or 888.4-POMLAW), toll-free, Ext. 7980. Those who inquire by e-mail are encouraged to include their mailing address, telephone number, and the number of shares purchased. [Click here for information about joining the class action] Allarity is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company that develops oncology therapeutics using drug-specific companion diagnostics generated by its Drug Response Predictor technology. Allarity's drug candidates include, inter alia, Dovitinib, a pan-tyrosine kinase inhibitor for the treatment of renal cell carcinoma ("RCC"). The Company's companion diagnostic technology for Dovitinib is referred to as "DRP®-Dovitinib" or "Dovitinib-DRP." On April 2, 2021, Allarity's predecessor parent corporation, Allarity Therapeutics A/S, announced that it had submitted a premarket approval application ("PMA") to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for Dovitinib-DRP (the "Dovitinib-DRP PMA"). On December 22, 2021, Allarity issued a press release announcing that it had submitted a new drug application ("NDA") to the FDA seeking marketing approval for Dovitinib for the third-line treatment of RCC patients (the "Dovitinib NDA"). On February 18, 2022, Allarity issued a press release announcing that it had received Refusal to File ("RTF") letters from the FDA for the Dovitinib NDA and the Dovitinib-DRP PMA because "the NDA . . . and the PMA application . . . were not sufficiently complete to permit substantive reviews," noting that "the FDA's cited reasons for the RTF decision primarily include[d], but [we]re not limited to, that submitted clinical trial data do not enable a conclusion of efficacy based on non-inferiority data set" and that, because "the PMA and NDA were filed as related applications, the RTFs also apply to the DRP®-Dovitinib companion diagnostic." Following these developments, Allarity continued to represent to investors and the market that it remained committed to pursuing the Dovitinib NDA and would work with the FDA to determine a clear regulatory path forward for resubmitting that application. The Complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operations, and compliance policies. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Defendants had overstated the Dovitinib NDA's continued regulatory prospects; (ii) Allarity and three of its former officers had engaged in illegal, illicit, and/or otherwise improper conduct in connection with the Dovitinib NDA and/or the Dovitinib-DRP PMA; (iii) the foregoing misconduct subjected the Company to an increased risk of regulatory and/or governmental scrutiny and enforcement action, as well as significant legal, monetary, and reputational harm; (iv) following Allarity's announcement that it was, in fact, being investigated for wrongdoing in connection with the Dovitinib NDA and/or the Dovitinib-DRP PMA, the Company downplayed the substantial likelihood that an enforcement action would result from such investigation; and (v) as a result, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. On June 29, 2022, Allarity issued a press release announcing that, "[e]ffective immediately," it had appointed Defendant James G. Cullem ("Cullem"), the Company's then-current Chief Business Officer, as its interim Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), and Defendant Joan Y. Brown ("Brown"), the Company's then-current Director of Financial Reporting, as its interim Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), and that its former CEO Defendant Steve R. Carchedi ("Carchedi") and former CFO Defendant Jens Knudsen ("Knudsen") had both purportedly "stepped down from those roles to pursue other opportunities." The next day, Allarity disclosed in an U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filing that Defendants Carchedi and Knudsen had either "resigned" or been "terminat[ed]" from all positions with the Company and its subsidiaries, while indicating that such "resignation" or "termination" may have been for cause, but without clarifying the same. Following these disclosures, Allarity's stock price fell $0.31 per share, or 19.02%, to close at $1.32 per share on June 30, 2022. On August 2, 2022, Allarity issued a press release announcing that "its Board of Directors has mandated a refocus of the Company's oncology pipeline strategy away from development of monotherapies" and, accordingly, "determined that advancing dovitinib as a monotherapy in adults is no longer commercially viable or in the best interests of its shareholders," citing "feedback that the Company recently received from the [FDA] from a Type C advisory meeting held in Q2 2022, regarding a potential Phase 3 clinical development path for dovitinib as a monotherapy third-line treatment for metastatic [RCC]." Accordingly, the Company would no longer pursue the Dovitinib NDA, which sought approval of Dovitinib as a monotherapy. On this news, Allarity's stock price fell $0.045 per share, or 3.688%, to close at $1.175 per share on August 2, 2022. On February 6, 2023, Allarity disclosed in an SEC filing that, "[i]n January 2023, we received a letter to produce documents from the SEC and that stated that the staff of the SEC is conducting an investigation . . . to determine if violations of the federal securities laws have occurred" in connection with "disclosures relating to submissions, communications and meetings with the FDA regarding our NDA for Dovitinib or Dovitinib-DRP." On this news, Allarity's stock price fell $0.009 per share, or 3.8%, to close at $0.228 per share on February 6, 2023. On December 11, 2023, Allarity disclosed in another SEC filing that, "[o]n December 8, 2023, [Defendant] Cullem was terminated as [CEO] of Allarity . . . and all other positions with the Company and its subsidiaries" and that Defendant Thomas Jensen had been appointed as the Company's new CEO on the same date. On this news, Allarity's stock price fell $0.075 per share, or 13.37%, to close at $0.486 per share on December 11, 2023. Then, on July 22, 2024, Allarity disclosed in yet another SEC filing that it had received a Wells Notice from the SEC's staff "relating to the Company's previously disclosed SEC investigation," advising that "[t]he Wells Notice relates to the Company's disclosures regarding meetings with the [FDA] regarding the Company's NDA for Dovitinib or Dovitinib-DRP, which was submitted to the FDA in 2021"; that, per the Company's understanding, "all conduct relating to the SEC Wells Notice occurred during or prior to fiscal year 2022"; and "that three of its former officers"—the same number of Company officers terminated during the Class Period—"received Wells Notices from the SEC relating to the same conduct." On this news, Allarity's stock price fell $0.004 per share, or 2.38%, to close at $0.164 per share on July 22, 2024. Finally, on September 13, 2024, Allarity disclosed in yet another SEC filing that, "[o]n September 12, 2024, the Company received a notice of resignation from [Defendant] Brown, its [CFO], effective September 12, 2024."
