It also raised its full-year revenue guidance to at least $219 million, signaling strong business momentum and confidence in future growth.

Revenue
Axogen’s total revenue for the second quarter of 2025 reached $56.66 million, reflecting an 18.3% year-over-year increase compared to $47.91 million in the same period in 2024. The growth was driven by double-digit expansion across all nerve repair markets, including extremities, oral maxillofacial and head and neck, and breast. High-potential accounts contributed 70% of the revenue growth in the first half of the year, with a 21% rise in productivity at these accounts year-over-year.

Earnings/Net Income
The company returned to profitability with a net income of $579,000 in Q2 2025, a dramatic turnaround from a net loss of $1.92 million in Q2 2024, representing a 130.1% improvement. On a per-share basis, Axogen reported earnings of $0.01, reversing from a loss of $0.04 per share a year ago—a 125.0% positive change. These results indicate a significant and positive shift in the company’s financial performance.

Price Action
Despite the strong earnings and improved outlook, the stock price of Axogen declined by 7.92% during the latest trading day. However, the share price has shown resilience, rising 2.16% during the most recent full trading week and surging 25.53% month-to-date.

Post Earnings Price Action Review
The buy strategy of entering Axogen shares 30 days after its quarterly earnings over the past three years has yielded poor returns.

This strategy recorded a maximum drawdown of 0.00% and a Sharpe ratio of -0.35, highlighting poor risk management and failure to capitalize on broader market gains.
