WHAT IS THIS ABOUT: In February 2021, Bioventus conducted its initial public offering (“IPO”), selling 8 million shares of its Class A common stock at $13 per share.

Then on November 16, 2022, after market hours, Bioventus issued a press release announcing that it could not timely file its quarterly report for the period ended October 1, 2022 because it “requires additional time to complete a review … to assess whether a non-cash impairment charge is required for the third quarter of 2022.” Bioventus further stated that it “is seeking resolution related to the validity of a revised invoice” regarding “rebate claims [that it received] from a large private payer in relation to our Pain Treatments vertical, which likely will adversely affect the Company’s previously announced third quarter 2022 financial results.” As a result, Bioventus advised that “its internal controls related to the timely recognition of quarterly rebates were inadequate” and is “evaluating whether the Company will be able to meet all of its financial obligations as they come due within one year after the date its financial statements for the period ended October 1, 2022, are issued.”

On this news, Bioventus’ stock price fell $1.00 per share, or 33%, on November 17, 2022 to close at $1.97 per share, on unusually heavy trading volume.
