SI-BONE, Inc. (SIBN)·Q4 2024 Earnings Summary

Executive Summary

  • Q4 2024 delivered record revenue of $49.0M (+~26% YoY) and positive adjusted EBITDA ($1.9M), with U.S. revenue up ~28% to $46.9M and gross margin ~79% .
  • 2025 guidance: revenue $193.5–$195.5M (+~16–17% YoY), gross margin 77–78%, OpEx growth ~9% at the midpoint, and positive adjusted EBITDA for 2H and full-year 2025; assumptions include low-to-mid single-digit ASP decline, one fewer procedure day, and some FX headwind .
  • Strategic momentum: Granite 9.5 adoption outpacing prior launches, TNT early demand exceeding expectations, and third FDA Breakthrough Device Designation underscore platform expansion; Transitional Pass-Through (TPT) status for Granite effective Jan 1, 2025 is a reimbursement tailwind .
  • Consensus (S&P Global) estimates for Q4 2024 were unavailable at the time of analysis due to API rate limits, so we cannot quantify beat/miss; we will update when accessible.

What Went Well and What Went Wrong

  • What Went Well

    • Record quarter with diversified growth: “We hit records across all of our KPIs… Granite 9.5… exceeded our expectations… TNT… exceeded our expectations,” and delivered positive adjusted EBITDA .
    • Commercial leverage and productivity: ended 2024 with 87 U.S. territory managers; territory productivity nearly doubled over three years to $1.8M in 2024; hybrid model and agent partnerships scaling efficiently .
    • Reimbursement tailwinds: CMS granted TPT with $0 device offset for Granite starting Jan 1, 2025, enabling full pass-through of device cost in outpatient setting, a clear adoption catalyst .
  • What Went Wrong

    • Mix and ASP pressure ahead: 2025 outlook embeds low-to-mid single-digit ASP decline from procedure mix evolution (certain procedures use fewer implants) .
    • Seasonality and cadence: management expects typical high-single-digit sequential decline from Q4 to Q1 and adjusted EBITDA negative in 1H 2025 before 2H improvement .
    • Ongoing DOJ investigation: no material update; focus areas include field-based education events/meals/speaker programs and physician remuneration; timing of resolution unclear .

Earnings Call Themes & Trends

TopicPrevious Mentions (Q-2 and Q-1)Current Period (Q4 2024)Trend
Technology/product roadmap (Granite 9.5, TNT, BDD)Granite 9.5 launch driving ASP/density; TNT launched with BDD; strong adoption; plan for trauma product in Q4; pipeline building Granite 9.5 “resounding success”; TNT early demand exceeded expectations; third BDD awarded; disruptive device under development Accelerating adoption and portfolio breadth
Reimbursement (TPT/NTAP)Granite TPT effective 1/1/2025; NTAP path for TNT targeted for Oct 2025 CMS finalized TPT with $0 device offset, enabling full pass-through; pursuing NTAP for TNT Reimbursement tailwinds strengthening
Supply chain/operationsStreamlining supply chain lowered costs and aided margins; set build for Granite Gross margin benefited from supply chain actions; onboarding surgical capacity may raise depreciation Operational efficiency continuing; some near-term mix/depreciation headwinds
Macro/seasonalityQ3 impacted by hurricanes/IV shortages; 3Q→4Q capacity constraints; thoughtful outlook Expect high-single-digit sequential decline Q4→Q1; one fewer procedure day; FX headwind Seasonality and conservative assumptions persist
Product performance & densityGranite 9.5 improving stacked usage; interventional led by TORQ; increasing cross-modality use Multi-procedure physicians up ~40%; strong TORQ/INTRA positioning; density a key 2025 priority Density building; cross-modality rising

Management Commentary

  • “We delivered positive adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter… we expect to deliver positive adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2025 and expect adjusted EBITDA margins to expand going forward.” – CEO Laura Francis .
  • “Granite 9.5 has been a resounding success… TNT… has exceeded our expectations… early demand indicators give us confidence [they] can be major growth drivers in 2025 and beyond.” – CEO Laura Francis .
  • “We have robust momentum entering 2025… guidance assumes strong volume growth… offset by low-to mid-single-digit ASP impact from evolution of the procedure mix.” – CFO Anshul Maheshwari .
  • “CMS granted a $0 device offset [for TPT], which… allows hospitals to pass through 100% of the Granite cost… in addition to their usual facility fee.” – CEO Laura Francis .

Q&A Highlights

  • 2025 growth guide vs recent mid-20s trend: management took a “balanced” approach given mix-driven ASP pressure, one fewer procedure day, FX, and the ramp timing of reimbursement/product capacity; upside remains from density and TPT/NTAP .
  • Margin outlook: gross margin midpoint (77.5%) reflects mix, added depreciation from capacity/software; medium-term gross margin profile seen at ~76–77% with cost actions to offset pressures .
  • Cadence: typical high-single-digit sequential decline Q4→Q1; adjusted EBITDA negative 1H, turning positive in 2H (more Q4-weighted) .
  • Sales productivity: hybrid model and agent partnerships roughly doubled territory productivity to ~$1.8M; selective rep adds expected; aim >$2M per territory over time .
  • DOJ: cooperating; no material updates; focus on field education events and remuneration practices .

Estimates Context

  • S&P Global consensus estimates for Q4 2024 (revenue, EPS, target price, and estimate counts) were unavailable at the time of analysis due to API rate limits, so we cannot quantify beat/miss or dispersion versus consensus at this time. We will refresh and update the comparisons once access is restored.
  • Management did not reference explicit consensus comparisons in the press release or call; primary focus was on record revenue, positive adjusted EBITDA, and 2025 guidance framework .

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • Platform momentum with multiple growth vectors (SI joint with TORQ/INTRA, deformity/degenerative with Granite 9.5, trauma with TNT) underpins high-teens 2025 growth and a path to sustained EBITDA profitability; reimbursement tailwinds (TPT now, NTAP potential) are additive .
  • Mix and seasonality introduce near-term optics: expect Q1 sequential step-down and ASP headwinds from mix, but density gains and capacity additions should support 2H acceleration and 2025 EBITDA positivity .
  • Granite 9.5 adoption and stacked usage trends are key catalysts for ASP/density; TPT with $0 offset can expand outpatient use, lowering site-of-service friction for hospitals .
  • TNT’s early traction and NTAP pursuit (targeting Oct 2025) create a new leg of growth in pelvic fractures with a sizable TAM; watch for capacity expansion and agency partnerships .
  • DOJ investigation remains a risk overhang; no material updates but continued cooperation—monitor for any resolution or changes in commercial practices .
  • Execution focus: physician base (~1,400 active in Q4), cross-modality density (+~40%), and hybrid sales model support durable operating leverage and progressing toward free cash flow over time .
  • Revisit consensus once available to reassess beat/miss and potential estimate revisions following guidance and Q4 outperformance messaging.

Supporting Press Releases (Q4 2024 timeframe)

  • CMS grants TPT for Granite effective Jan 1, 2025 with $0 device offset, enabling full pass-through of device cost in outpatient setting .
  • First-in-patient procedures with iFuse TORQ TNT breakthrough device; strong initial surgeon feedback and 510(k) clearance in Aug 2024 .
