Fourth Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Revenue was $25.2 million in the fourth quarter 2021, a 14% increase from $22.1 million in the corresponding period in 2020. U.S. revenue for the fourth quarter 2021 was $23.3 million, an increase of 13% from $20.7 million in the corresponding period in 2020 primarily driven by growth of domestic case volumes. International revenue was $1.9 million in the fourth quarter 2021 compared to $1.5 million in the corresponding period in 2020.
Gross margin was 87% for the fourth quarter 2021, compared to 90% in the corresponding period in 2020. Gross margin in the fourth quarter 2021 was impacted by an increase in cost of operations to support the growth of the business.
Operating expenses increased 29% to $35.8 million in the fourth quarter 2021 compared to $27.7 million in the corresponding period in 2020. The increase was driven by higher sales and marketing expenses related to increased sales hiring, higher travel costs, research and development expenses and increased stock-based compensation.
Operating loss was $13.9 million in the fourth quarter 2021, as compared to $7.9 million in the corresponding period in 2020.
Net loss was $14.5 million, or $0.43 per diluted share for the fourth quarter 2021, as compared to $9.0 million, or $0.28 per diluted share in the corresponding period in 2020.
2021 Financial Results
Revenue was $90.2 million for 2021, a 23% increase from $73.4 million in 2020. U.S. revenue for 2021 was $82.7 million, a 21% increase from $68.1 million in 2020, primarily driven by growth of domestic case volumes. International revenue was $7.4 million in 2021 compared to $5.3 million in 2020.
Gross margin was 88% in 2021 and 2020. In 2021, the gross margin was impacted by an increase in cost of operations to support the growth of the business. In 2020, the gross margin was impacted by an increase in write-downs of iFuse related inventory as a result of faster than anticipated adoption of iFuse-3D.
Operating expenses increased 28% to $131.4 million in 2021 compared to $103.1 million in 2020. The increase was driven by higher sales and marketing expenses related to increased sales hiring, research and development expenses and increased stock-based compensation expense. Operating expenses in 2020 were lower due to the preemptive steps taken to reduce discretionary spend in response to COVID-19.
Operating loss was $51.7 million in 2021, as compared to $38.6 million in 2020.
Net loss was $56.6 million, or $1.71 per diluted share for 2021, as compared to $43.7 million, or $1.50 per diluted share in 2020.
Cash and marketable securities were $147.0 million as of December 31, 2021.
2022 Financial Guidance
SI-BONE continues to see strong momentum in its business in 2022, but remains cognizant of the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 and its impact on elective procedures as well as hospital and ASC infrastructure and staffing levels. The Company’s 2022 outlook is highly sensitive to assumptions on a steady global recovery, which anticipates case scheduling and elective procedure levels normalizing throughout the year. Based on these assumptions, the Company expects total 2022 revenue of approximately $106 million to $108 million, representing growth of 18% to 20% compared to full year 2021.

About SI-BONE
SI-BONE (NASDAQ: SIBN) is a global leader in technology for surgical treatment of musculoskeletal disorders of the sacropelvic anatomy. In 2009, SI-BONE introduced the iFuse Implant System for minimally invasive surgery of the SI joint, shown to be a source of pain in 15% to 30% of chronic low back pain. Since then, more than 2,600 surgeons have performed a combined total of more than 65,000 SI joint fusion procedures. A unique body of evidence, supporting the triangular iFuse implant, including two RCT’s and over 100 peer reviewed publications, has enabled multiple government and private insurance payors to establish coverage of the SI joint fusion procedure exclusively when performed with SI-BONE’s triangular iFuse implant. SI-BONE is leveraging its market leadership position, supported by this proprietary reimbursement advantage, to commercialize other devices intended for surgical treatment of related aspects of the human anatomy.
