(&#8220;Axogen&#8221; or the &#8220;Company&#8221;) reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2020 and provided a financial outlook for the third quarter of 2020.  At that time, the Company believed that regional resurgences of COVID-19 would continue to negatively impact the incidence of trauma and surgical procedure volumes in certain geographies.  As a result, the Company expected third quarter revenue to remain below prior-year levels of $28.6 million.</span></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;"><span style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</span></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt;">Since then, third quarter revenue has exceeded those expectations as the impact of regional COVID-19 resurgences on the incidence of trauma and surgical procedure volumes has been less than previously anticipated; additionally, the Company believes that surgeons and hospitals continue to prioritize nerve repair procedures as they expand their elective surgical procedure volumes.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;"><span style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</span></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt;"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;">As a result, with more than 80% of its fiscal third quarter complete, the Company now expects total revenue in the third quarter will be at least $30 million.  As management discussed during the second quarter 2020 earnings call, the Company has benefited from a catch-up of previously deferred procedures during the third quarter, primarily in July and August.</span></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;"><span style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</span></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt;"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;">The Company will report its financial results for third quarter 2020 on Thursday, October 29, 2020 after the market close and will host a conference call and webcast for the investment community at 4:30 pm ET that same day.  The Company will provide an update on its outlook for the fourth quarter at that time.</span></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;"><span style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</span></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt;"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Axogen is providing these updates in advance of the Company&#8217;s participation in two virtual investor conferences this week.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
​
On August 5, 2020, Axogen Inc. ("Axogen" or the "Company") reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2020 and provided a financial outlook for the third quarter of 2020.  At that time, the Company believed that regional resurgences of COVID-19 would continue to negatively impact the incidence of trauma and surgical procedure volumes in certain geographies.  As a result, the Company expected third quarter revenue to remain below prior-year levels of $28.6 million.
​
Since then, third quarter revenue has exceeded those expectations as the impact of regional COVID-19 resurgences on the incidence of trauma and surgical procedure volumes has been less than previously anticipated; additionally, the Company believes that surgeons and hospitals continue to prioritize nerve repair procedures as they expand their elective surgical procedure volumes.
​
As a result, with more than 80% of its fiscal third quarter complete, the Company now expects total revenue in the third quarter will be at least $30 million.  As management discussed during the second quarter 2020 earnings call, the Company has benefited from a catch-up of previously deferred procedures during the third quarter, primarily in July and August.
​
The Company will report its financial results for third quarter 2020 on Thursday, October 29, 2020 after the market close and will host a conference call and webcast for the investment community at 4:30 pm ET that same day.  The Company will provide an update on its outlook for the fourth quarter at that time.
​
Axogen is providing these updates in advance of the Company's participation in two virtual investor conferences this week.  The Company will hold investor meetings and participate in a live webcast at the Cantor Virtual Global Healthcare Conference on Wednesday September 16, 2020 at 9:20 am ET; this represents a change from the previously announced time of 1:20 pm ET that same day.  The Company will also host virtual investor meetings on Thursday, September 17, 2020 as part of the Morgan Stanley Global Healthcare Conference.
