Insights
The reported increase in total revenue for Tactile Systems Technology, Inc. suggests a moderate upward trend, with the lymphedema products serving as the primary growth driver. Notably, the 4% increase year-over-year to $61.1 million, though not exceptional, aligns with steady market expansion.
Gross margin improvements, albeit slight from 70.5% to 71.1%, reflect efficient cost management. However, investors should monitor operating expenses, which have also seen an incremental rise. This could indicate ongoing investment in growth but needs to be balanced against profitability.
Attention should also be given to the consistent, albeit nominal, increase in Adjusted EBITDA from $0.5 million to $1.0 million, which may indicate improved operational efficiency. The reaffirmed outlook for 2024 suggests management confidence, yet investor scrutiny is advisable given the narrow growth range of 9% to 11%.
The completion of patient enrollment in a clinical trial for Flexitouch Plus indicates progress in R&D, potentially bolstering the company's portfolio if results are favorable. The publication of a peer-reviewed clinical trial in the Journal of Vascular Surgery underscores the company's commitment to evidence-based medicine and could enhance product credibility amongst clinicians and patients, possibly leading to increased market penetration.
However, investors should be aware of the risks inherent in clinical trials, as future results may impact the stock's performance.
The retirement of the CEO and appointment of Sheri Dodd presents both an opportunity and a risk. Leadership transitions can lead to shifts in corporate strategy and investor sentiment. Dodd's vision and execution will be pivotal in sustaining the company's growth trajectory.
Given the modest growth in lymphedema product revenue and the dip in airway clearance product revenue, it is essential to analyze market trends and competitive dynamics to assess the long-term viability of Tactile Medical's product lines. The broader Durable Medical Equipment (DME) sector is competitive and the company's ability to maintain and grow relationships with DME partners is important for future revenue streams.

The reader is cautioned not to put undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, as these statements are subject to numerous factors and uncertainties outside of the Company’s control that can make such statements untrue, including, but not limited to, the Company’s ability to obtain reimbursement from third-party payers for its products; the impacts of inflation, rising interest rates or a recession; the adequacy of the Company’s liquidity to pursue its business objectives; adverse economic conditions or intense competition; price increases for supplies and components; wage and component price inflation; loss of a key supplier; entry of new competitors and products; compliance with and changes in federal, state and local government regulation; loss or retirement of key executives, including transition matters related to the Company’s upcoming Chief Executive Officer change; technological obsolescence of the Company’s products; technical problems with the Company’s research and products; the Company’s ability to expand its business through strategic acquisitions; the Company’s ability to integrate acquisitions and related businesses; the effects of current and future U.S. and foreign trade policy and tariff actions; or the inability to carry out research, development and commercialization plans. In addition, other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are discussed in the Company’s filings with the SEC.

The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise its forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income (loss), and non-GAAP net income (loss), which differ from financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
Adjusted EBITDA in this release represents net income or loss, plus interest expense, net, or less interest income, net, less income tax benefit or plus income tax expense, plus depreciation and amortization, plus stock-based compensation expense, plus or minus the change in fair value of earn-out and plus executive transition costs. Non-GAAP gross profit in this release represents gross profit plus non-cash intangible amortization expense. Non-GAAP gross margin in this release represents non-GAAP gross profit divided by revenue. Non-GAAP operating income (loss) in this release represents operating income (loss) adjusted for non-cash intangible amortization expense, change in fair value of earn-out and executive transition expenses. Non-GAAP net income (loss) represents net income (loss) adjusted for non-cash intangible amortization expense, change in fair value of earn-out and executive transition expenses, and adjusted for the income tax effect on reconciling items. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in this press release.
These non-GAAP financial measures are presented because the Company believes they are useful indicators of its operating performance. Management uses these measures principally as measures of the Company’s operating performance and for planning purposes, including the preparation of the Company’s annual operating plan and financial projections. The Company believes these measures are useful to investors as supplemental information and because they are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in its industry. The Company also believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to its management and investors as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is used as a performance metric in the Company’s compensation program.
The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this release should not be considered as an alternative to, or superior to, their respective GAAP financial measures, as measures of financial performance or cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, and they should not be construed to imply that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as it does not reflect certain cash requirements such as tax payments, debt service requirements, capital expenditures and certain other cash costs that may recur in the future. Adjusted EBITDA contains certain other limitations, including the failure to reflect our cash expenditures, cash requirements for working capital needs and cash costs to replace assets being depreciated and amortized. In evaluating non-GAAP financial measures, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. The Company’s presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed to imply that its future results will be unaffected by any such adjustments. Management compensates for these limitations by primarily relying on the Company’s GAAP results in addition to using non-GAAP financial measures on a supplemental basis. The Company’s definition of these non-GAAP financial measures is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to different methods of calculation.
