The Company recorded record revenue for the year ended December 31, 2015 of $187.3 million, a $69.1 million or 58% increase over 2014 revenue of $118.2 million.  The Company recorded record revenue for the 2015 fourth quarter of $51.8 million, a $12.3 million or 31% increase over 2014 fourth quarter revenue of $39.6 million.

Parker H. "Pete" Petit, Chairman and CEO, said, "We are pleased to again announce another consecutive quarter of meeting or exceeding revenue guidance.  In this case, it is our 17^th consecutive quarter of achieving this mark, and we also exceeded analyst consensus guidance for our revenues.  We are pleased to have these 2015 revenue growth accomplishments in spite of a major average price decrease in our EpiFix® product line resulting from the expiration of the pass-through status. Also, I believe the more than 85% growth in our SSO area is a predictor of our future in these product areas.  We believe the acquisition of Stability Biologics will lead to even more rapid growth in this SSO sector.  In the meantime, our leadership position in the advanced wound care sector continues to grow and flourish.  We believe our allografts, both tissue and fluid, and the future introduction of CollaFix™, will all provide enormous potential for improving the outcomes of numerous medical procedures and applications."
