    We are an emerging growth company, a "smaller reporting company", under federal securities laws, and the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth such companies may make our common stock less attractive to investors.

    We will remain a smaller reporting company so long as (i) our public float remains less than $250 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (ii) our annual revenues are less than $100 million during our most recently completed fiscal year; and we have no public float; or a public float of less than $700 million. For as long as we continue to be a smaller reporting company, we may take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies, including (1) not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and (2) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements. In addition, we are only required to provide two years of audited financial statements in our SEC reports. We will remain a smaller reporting company so long as (i) our public float remains less than $250 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (ii) our annual revenues are less than $100 million during our most recently completed fiscal year; and we have no public float; or a public float of less than $700 million. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may decline or be more volatile.

  • Debt & Financing - Risk 2
    We may require additional financing in the future to continue the development and commercialization of our RECELL System or any current and future products, which may cause dilution to our existing stockholders. If additional financing is not available, we may have to postpone, reduce or cease operations.

    If we are unable to achieve profitability sufficient to permit us to fund our operations, repay indebtedness in accordance with the Perceptive Credit Agreement, and take other planned actions, we may be required to raise additional capital. There can be no assurance that such capital would be available on favorable terms, or available at all. If we raise additional capital through the issuance of equity, the percentage ownership held by existing stockholders may be reduced, and the market price of our common stock or CDIs could fall due to an increased number of shares or CDIs available for sale in the market. If we are unable to secure additional capital as circumstances require, we may not be able to fund our planned activities or continue our operations.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    There has been relatively limited trading volume in the markets for our common stock and CDIs, and more active, liquid trading markets for such securities may never develop.

    Trading in our common stock on Nasdaq and our CDIs on the ASX is often thin and susceptible to wide fluctuations in trading prices due to such limited trading volume and other factors, some of which may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. Limited liquidity in the trading markets for our common stock and CDIs may adversely affect a stockholder's ability to sell its shares of our common stock or CDIs at the time it wishes to sell them or at a price that it considers acceptable. In addition, if a more active, liquid public trading market does not develop we may be limited in our ability to raise capital by selling shares of common stock or CDIs. We cannot assure you that more active, liquid public trading markets for our common stock and CDIs will develop or, if developed, will be sustained.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    The market price and trading volume of our common stock and CDIs may be volatile and may be affected by variability in our performance from period to period and economic conditions beyond management's control.

    The market price of our common stock (including common stock represented by CDIs) may be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations. This means that our stockholders could experience a decrease in the value of their common stock or CDIs regardless of our operating performance or prospects. The market prices of securities of companies operating in the medical device sectors have often experienced fluctuations that have been unrelated or disproportionate to their operating results. In addition, the trading volume of our common stock and CDIs may fluctuate and cause significant price variations to occur. If the market price of our common stock or CDIs declines significantly, our stockholders may be unable to resell our common stock or CDIs at or above their purchase price, if at all. There can be no assurance that the market price of our common stock and CDIs will not fluctuate or significantly decline in the future. Some specific factors that could negatively affect the price of our common stock and CDIs or result in fluctuations in their price and trading volume include: - actual or expected fluctuations in our operating results;- actual or expected changes in our growth rates or our competitors' growth rates;- results of clinical trials of our product candidates;- results of clinical trials of our competitors' products;- regulatory actions with respect to our products or our competitors' products;- reports of one or more patients experiencing adverse events;- publication of research reports by analysts about us or our competitors in the industry;- our failure or the failure of our competitors to meet analysts' projections or guidance that we or our competitors may give to the market;- fluctuations of exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the Australian dollar;- issuance by us of debt or equity securities;- litigation involving our company, including stockholder litigation;- investigations or audits by regulators into the operations of our company;- proceedings initiated by our competitors or clients;- strategic decisions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions, divestitures, spin-offs, joint ventures, strategic investments or changes in business strategy;- sales or perceived potential sales of the common stock or CDIs by us, our directors, executive management team or our stockholders in the future;- short selling or other market manipulation activities;- announcement or expectation of additional financing efforts;- terrorist acts, acts of war or periods of widespread civil unrest;- natural disasters and other calamities;- changes in market conditions for medical device stocks;- our inability to raise additional capital, limiting our ability to continue as a going concern;- changes in market prices for our product or for our raw materials;- changes in market valuations of similar companies;- changes in key personnel for us or our competitors;- speculation in the press or investment community;- changes or proposed changes in laws and regulations affecting our industry; and - conditions in the financial markets in general or changes in general economic conditions.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    If research analysts publish unfavorable commentary or downgrade our common stock or CDIs, it could adversely affect our share price and trading volume.

    The trading market for our common stock and CDIs depends, in part, on the research and reports that analysts publish about us and our business and industry. If one or more analysts downgrade our shares or CDIs, publish unfavorable commentary about the Company or cease publishing reports about us or our business, the price of our common stock and CDIs could decline. If one or more of the analysts ceases coverage of our company or fails to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our common stock and CDIs could decrease, which could cause our share price or trading volume to decline.

FAQ

What are “Risk Factors”?
Risk factors are any situations or occurrences that could make investing in a company risky. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that publicly traded companies disclose their most significant risk factors. This is so that potential investors can consider any risks before they make an investment. They also offer companies protection, as a company can use risk factors as liability protection. This could happen if a company underperforms and investors take legal action as a result. It is worth noting that smaller companies, that is those with a public float of under $75 million on the last business day, do not have to include risk factors in their 10-K and 10-Q forms, although some may choose to do so.
How do companies disclose their risk factors?
Publicly traded companies initially disclose their risk factors to the SEC through their S-1 filings as part of the IPO process. Additionally, companies must provide a complete list of risk factors in their Annual Reports (Form 10-K) or (Form 20-F) for “foreign private issuers”. Quarterly Reports also include a section on risk factors (Form 10-Q) where companies are only required to update any changes since the previous report. According to the SEC, risk factors should be reported concisely, logically and in “plain English” so investors can understand them.
How can I use TipRanks risk factors in my stock research?
Use the Risk Factors tab to get data about the risk factors of any company in which you are considering investing. You can easily see the most significant risks a company is facing. Additionally, you can find out which risk factors a company has added, removed or adjusted since its previous disclosure. You can also see how a company’s risk factors compare to others in its sector. Without reading company reports or participating in conference calls, you would most likely not have access to this sort of information, which is usually not included in press releases or other public announcements. A simplified analysis of risk factors is unique to TipRanks.
