Earnings Review

The market has not reacted with any optimism to the financial results and in fact, the stock is down by as much as 8% in premarket trading this morning. In this context, it might be a good idea for investors to take a closer look at some of the highlights from the third quarter performance. Surgalign managed to bring in revenues of as much as $20.5 million from its global spine operations.

However, at the same time, it should be noted that it was considerably lower than the revenues of as much as $27.9 million in the same segment in the prior year period. On the other hand, the net losses for the quarter came in at $8.3 million and that worked out to losses of $0.06 a share.

At the end of the third quarter on September 30, 2021, the company had cash and cash equivalents to the tune of $68.4 million. In addition to that, Surgalign also appointed Sheryl Conley as the Chair of its Board in a non-executive capacity.
