“In addition, we are pleased with the successful completion of our IPO and are grateful for the support of the participating investors,” continued Mr. Dunn. “The proceeds from this offering will enable us to continue to expand our commercial footprint in the United States and elsewhere, and better target the hundreds of thousands of patients suffering from low back pain caused by SI joint dysfunction.”
Third Quarter 2018 Financial Results
Revenue was $13.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018, a 15% increase from $11.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017. The majority of the increase is due to growth from domestic sales as a result of higher sales force productivity and improved U.S. reimbursement coverage.
Gross margin was 91% for the third quarter of 2018, as compared to 89% in the corresponding prior year period.
Operating expenses were $15.2 million for the third quarter of 2018, as compared to $15.4 million in the corresponding prior year period, a decrease of 1%. The decrease in operating expense is due to cost controls in research and development and general and administrative expenses, partially offset by increased spending in sales and marketing for commissions on higher sales.
Operating loss was $3.0 million in the third quarter of 2018, as compared to $5.0 million in the corresponding prior year period.
Net loss was $4.8 million, or $1.29 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2018, as compared to $5.7 million, or $1.64 per diluted share in the corresponding prior year period.
Proforma net loss per share was $0.30 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The proforma net loss calculation assumes the conversion of preferred stock and warrants outstanding into common stock. The proforma weighted-average shares used to compute basic and diluted net loss per share was 16,064,513 shares for the three months ended September 30, 2018.
Cash and cash equivalents were $14.0 million as of September 30, 2018. In October 2018, SI-BONE completed an initial public offering, raising net proceeds of approximately $113.7 million after deducting underwriting fees and other expenses.
2018 Financial Guidance
SI-BONE expects full year 2018 revenue to be in a range of $55.0 million to $55.4 million, representing growth of 15% over full year 2017 revenue.

About SI-BONE, Inc.
SI-BONE is a medical device company that pioneered the iFuse Implant System, a minimally invasive surgical system for fusion of the sacroiliac joint to treat sacroiliac joint dysfunction. The SI joint is believed to be the last major joint to have a clinically proven surgical treatment. The iFuse Implant, commercially available since 2009, is believed to be the only SI joint fusion device supported by multiple prospective clinical studies showing improved pain, patient function and quality of life resulting from treatment. There are over 60 peer-reviewed publications supporting the safety, effectiveness, and biomechanical and economic benefits unique to the iFuse Implant. This body of evidence has enabled multiple government and private payors to establish coverage of the SI joint fusion procedure exclusively when performed with the iFuse Implant System.
