Treace Medical Concepts Reports Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results
PONTE VEDRA, Fla., Aug. 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Treace Medical Concepts, Inc. ("Treace" or the "Company") (NasdaqGS: TMCI), a medical technology company driving a fundamental shift in the surgical treatment of bunions and related midfoot deformities through its flagship Lapiplasty® and Adductoplasty® Procedures, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.
Recent Highlights
- Revenue of $44.5 million in second quarter 2024 increased 6% over same period in 2023
- Gross margin of 80.2% in second quarter 2024
- Patent portfolio expands to 65 granted U.S. patents, with an additional 22 granted patents worldwide and 84 pending U.S. patent applications
John T. Treace, CEO and Founder of Treace, said, "Second quarter results came in as expected. We remain focused on capturing an even larger share of procedure volumes from our base of over 3,000 active surgeons with several new planned product launches in the second half of 2024, including our entry into the relatively nascent minimally invasive metatarsal osteotomy market in Q4. We are confident in our strategic investments in our growing portfolio of innovative, reproducible solutions for a dynamic bunion market, supporting our market position and long-term outlook.”
Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Revenue for the second quarter of 2024 was $44.5 million, representing an increase of 6% compared to $42.0 million in the second quarter of 2023. The increase was driven by product mix shift that resulted from increased adoption of newer technologies and increased sales of complementary products used in bunion and related midfoot procedures as well as increases in our active surgeon base.
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2024 was $35.7 million compared to a gross profit of $34.3 million in the second quarter of 2023. Gross margin totaled 80.2% in the second quarter of 2024, compared to 81.7% in the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to a shift in product mix, increases in payroll and inventory provisions, partially offset by lower royalty rates.
Total operating expenses were $57.1 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to total operating expenses of $47.3 million in the second quarter of 2023. Increased operating expenses in the second quarter of 2024, including share-based compensation expense, reflect strategic investments in the Company’s expanding direct sales channel, investments in product innovation, customer credit loss, and support for other corporate initiatives.
Second quarter 2024 net loss attributable to common stockholders was ($21.2) million, or ($0.34) per share, compared to ($12.3) million, or ($0.20) per share, for the same period in 2023. Adjusted EBITDA loss was ($8.7) million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to a loss of ($7.7) million for the same period in 2023. See below for additional information and a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial information.
Cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and investment receivable totaled $97.0 million as of June 30, 2024. The Company believes it has sufficient balance sheet strength and flexibility to continue effectively executing on its strategic investments and growth initiatives for the foreseeable future.
Financial Outlook
The Company is reaffirming full-year 2024 revenue guidance of $201 million to $211 million, representing growth of 7% to 13%, compared to full-year 2023.
The Company continues to expect Adjusted EBITDA to improve approximately 50% compared to full-year 2023.*
* A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net loss on a forward-looking basis is not available without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability, complexity and low visibility with respect to the items excluded from this non-GAAP measure.
Webcast and Conference Call Details
Treace will host a conference call today, August 6, 2024, at 4:30 p.m. ET to discuss its second quarter 2024 financial results. Investors interested in listening to the conference call may do so by registering. Once registered, participants will receive dial-in numbers and a unique pin to join the call and ask questions. The live webcast of the conference call will be available on the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website at investors.treace.com. The webcast will be archived on the website following the completion of the call.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, this earnings release presents Adjusted EBITDA, which the Company defines as net loss before depreciation and amortization expense, interest income, interest expense, taxes, share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related costs, restructuring costs, customer credit loss, and debt extinguishment loss. Non-GAAP financial measures such as Adjusted EBITDA are presented in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company’s operating performance and trends, as well as for making planning decisions. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA helps to identify underlying trends in the Company’s business that may otherwise be masked by the effect of the income and expenses and other items that it excludes in its calculation of Adjusted EBITDA. Accordingly, the Company believes this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating the Company’s operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects, and allowing for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics used by the Company’s management in their financial and operational decision-making. The Company also presents this non-GAAP financial measure because it believes investors, analysts and rating agencies consider it to be a useful metric in measuring the Company’s performance against other companies and its ability to meet its debt service obligations.
There are limitations related to the use of non-GAAP financial measures such as Adjusted EBITDA because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, may exclude significant income and expenses required by GAAP to be recognized in the Company’s financial statements, and may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The Company encourages investors to carefully consider its results under GAAP, as well as its supplemental non-GAAP information and the reconciliation between these presentations, to more fully understand its business. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP results is presented below.
