AVITA Medical Reports Third Quarter Financial Results with 51% Revenue Growth over the Same Period the Prior Year
VALENCIA, Calif., November 9, 2023 — AVITA Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: RCEL, ASX: AVH) (the “Company”), a regenerative medicine company leading the development and commercialization of first-in-class devices and autologous cellular therapies for skin restoration, today reported financial results for the third quarter September 30, 2023.
Financial Highlights and Recent Updates
“We continue to execute our growth strategy, paving the way to profitability,” said Jim Corbett, Chief Executive Officer of AVITA. “We are diligently working through supplemental in-house testing to support the FDA’s review of our PMA supplement for RECELL GO. Once complete, we expect to submit a response to the FDA’s open questions on February 28, 2024. Under the Breakthrough Device program, we anticipate FDA approval on May 30, 2024, which positions us for a launch the following day.”
Future Milestones
“We have achieved significant commercial revenue growth rates for the last three quarters of 40%, 42% and 51%, respectively, over the same periods in the previous year,” said David O’Toole, Chief Financial Officer of AVITA Medical. “Further, we remain confident that our cash reserves position us to achieve our goals and reach profitability in 2025.”

Financial Guidance
Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Our commercial revenue, which excludes Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) revenue, increased by 51% to $13.5 million in the three-months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $9.0 million in the same period in 2022. Total revenue, which includes BARDA revenue, increased by 50% to $13.6 million compared to $9.1 million in the same period in 2022.
Gross profit margin increased by 1.3% to 84.5% compared to 83.2% for the third quarter of 2022. The increase was largely driven by higher production associated with our increase in revenues and lower shipping costs.
Total operating expenses for the quarter were $21.0 million, compared to $14.2 million in the same period in 2022. The increase in operating expenses is primarily attributable to an increase of $5.1 million in sales and marketing costs. The increase in sales and marketing costs is a result of the expansion of our commercial organization in preparation of the commercial launch of full-thickness skin defects that happened in the second quarter. In addition, the increase in operating expenses included an increase of $0.6 million in R&D costs, and an increase of $1.1 million in G&A costs, primarily due to an increase in stock compensation expense.
Net loss was $8.7 million, or a loss of $0.34 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $5.6 million, or a loss of $0.22 per basic and diluted share, in the same period in 2022.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $60.1 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities.
BARDA income consisted of funding from the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, under the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, under ongoing USG Contract No. HHSO100201500028C.
