On November 16, 2022, Bioventus issues a press release that stated “[a]s a result of the recent decline in the Company’s market capitalization subsequent to its previously announced financial results for the third quarter of 2022 (‘Q3 Earnings Release’), Bioventus requires additional time to complete a review in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles to assess whether a non-cash impairment charge is required for the third quarter of 2022. The preliminary review indicates an impairment charge in the range of $185 million to $205 million.”
Bioventus also revealed that it “is seeking resolution related to the validity of a revised invoice” for certain “rebate claims” and that “[t]he recognition of additional rebates may impact Bioventus’ recently announced revenue guidance.” In addition, Bioventus disclosed that “its internal controls related to the timely recognition of quarterly rebates were inadequate specifically for the period ended October 1, 2022” and that the Company “is also evaluating whether the Company will be able to meet all of its financial obligations as they come due within one year after the date its financial statements for the period ended October 1, 2022 are issued.”
On November 17, 2022, Bioventus shares declined from a close on November 16, 2022 of $2.97 per share to close at $1.97 per share, a decline of $1 per share, or over 33% on higher than usual volume.
