2021 Business Update:
“Business conditions have been exceptionally trying this year, and Lattice Biologics is no exception. The American Dental Association issued guidance in mid-March 2020 that all US dental procedures be considered non-essential. The announcement significantly impacted revenues in March 2020, and continues to affect supply chain issues. As we focus on new markets, we expect to re-position the company for profitable and continued growth,” said Guy Cook, CEO of Lattice Biologics LTD.
With an enhanced product line intended for dental indications, we expect sales to continue to grow in the long term. Operationally, the company is much more efficient and has lowered its operating and overhead costs to effectively compete in the dental market space.
Lattice Biologics maintains its commitment to honoring the gift of donation by implementing a strong quality control environment for the recovery and processing of donors. The Company has significantly increased its processing efficiencies, and has substantial inventory reserves to meet customer demand.
As indicated below, the Company continues efforts to diversify the sales mix across the new higher margin product lines added in prior years.
