Ms. Wright brings deep medical device experience to the interim CFO role. Upon assuming the Interim CFO position, Ms. Wright will step down temporarily from her roles as Chair of the Audit Committee and as a member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Thomas Schnettler, lead independent director for Paragon 28, will assume the role of interim Chair of the Audit Committee.

“I would like to thank Steve for his many contributions to our organization, including his leadership during the Company’s initial public offering. He has been a trusted partner since joining the company in 2020, helping to steer our strong growth through a transformative time for Paragon 28. Further, Steve has been instrumental in building our operational capabilities and fortifying our balance sheet to position the Company for sustainable long-term growth. We wish him continued success with his new venture. We are also very fortunate to have Krissy in our organization. She is an experienced financial executive whose knowledge of the Company will enable her to successfully lead our finance team through this interim period,” said Albert DaCosta, Chief Executive Officer.

I want to thank Albert, the Board of Directors and the leadership team for my time at Paragon 28. I am incredibly proud of our accomplishments over the past several years to scale the business and I look forward to seeing the Company continue its remarkable mission.”

Preliminary Unaudited Net Revenue for First Quarter 2024

Preliminary unaudited net revenue for the first quarter of 2024 is expected to be in a range of $60.8 to $61.1 million, representing reported growth of approximately 16.8% to 17.4% compared to the first quarter of 2023. Foreign currency impact on first quarter 2024 reported net revenue growth is not expected to be immaterial.

The estimated unaudited financial results for the first quarter of 2024 presented above are preliminary and are subject to the completion of our quarter-end closing procedures and further financial review. Our independent registered public accounting firm has not audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to this preliminary financial information. Our actual results may differ from these estimates as a result of the completion of our quarter-end closing procedures, review adjustments and other developments that may arise between now and the time our financial results for the first quarter are finalized.

Paragon 28 Reaffirms Net Revenue Guidance for Fiscal Year 2024

The Company reaffirms its prior 2024 net revenue guidance and continues to expect 2024 net revenue to be $249 million to $259 million, representing 15.1% and 19.7% reported growth compared to 2023. The Company’s 2024 net revenue guidance assumes foreign currency translation rates remain consistent with current foreign currency translation rates, and further, is based on a number of assumptions that are subject to change, many of which are outside the Company’s control. If actual results vary from these assumptions, the Company’s expectations may change. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve these results.
