PONTE VEDRA, Fla., Nov. 09, 2023 (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 hallux valgus (commonly known as bunions) through its Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction® Procedure, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.

Recent Highlights:

  • Revenue of $40.8 million in the third quarter, a 23% increase over same period last year and a 36% increase year to date over prior year
     
  • Blended average revenue per Lapiplasty® procedure kit sold was record high $6,311, a 9% increase over same period last year
     
  • Gross margin of 80.4% in the third quarter 2023 and 81.0% year to date
     
  • Third quarter 2023 revenue contribution from direct sales channel, the industry’s only direct bunion-focused salesforce, increased to 81% of sales compared to 74% during third quarter 2022
     
  • Initiated commercialization of several new technologies, including the 2nd generation SpeedPlate™ fixation platform, the Micro-Lapiplasty™ System, Hammertoe PEEK Fixation System, and LapiTome™ and RazorTome™ sterile instruments
     
  • Patent portfolio expands to 52 granted U.S. patents, with an additional 12 patents worldwide and 78 pending U.S. patent applications

“We’re pleased to report substantial gains in our key performance metrics during the third quarter, including 36% year-to-date revenue growth and a significant increase in our surgeon base, which now totals 2,691, a 21% increase over the prior year,” said John T. Treace, CEO, Founder and Board Member of Treace. “We also achieved a record blended average selling price of $6,311, driven by the early impact of our new technologies, and we are particularly excited about the opportunity for our SpeedPlate™ fixation platform.”

Mr. Treace stated, “Our updated guidance reflects our year-to-date surgeon count, which was impacted by prioritized travel and vacations for our patient demographic that started in the second quarter and continued through most of the third quarter. We also made the strategic decision to further refine our SpeedPlate™ platform, extending our timeline to achieve full commercial supply until the first quarter of 2024. This decision has enabled us to make our Gen 2 SpeedPlate™ technology more broadly applicable across a greater range of clinical applications, which we believe will expand our footprint in the foot and ankle market.”

Mr. Treace continued, “With accelerating additions to our surgeon base, increasing productivity of our direct sales channel and several new technologies that are already starting to make a positive impact on customer demand, I’m confident that we have the right strategy in place to outpace our competitors, drive continued market penetration and deliver strong growth for the remainder of this year and beyond.”

Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Revenue for the second quarter of 2023 was $40.8 million, representing an increase of 23% compared to $33.1 million in the third quarter of 2022. The increase was driven by an increased number of Lapiplasty® procedure kits sold as a result of an expanded surgeon customer base, increased utilization and increased blended average selling prices due to increased adoption of the Company’s newer technologies and expanding portfolio of complementary products.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2023 was $32.8 million, representing an increase of 21% compared to a gross profit of $27.0 million in the third quarter of 2022. Gross margin totaled 80.4% in the third quarter of 2023, compared to 81.6% in third quarter of 2022, primarily due to changes in product mix, an increase in inventory provisions, and an increase in overhead costs due to headcount to support the growing business, partially offset by lower royalty rates.

Total operating expenses were $50.6 million in the third quarter of 2023, compared to total operating expenses of $38.3 million in the third quarter of 2022. Increased operating expenses in the third quarter of 2023 reflect strategic investments in its expanding direct sales channel, investments in product innovation, increased capacity requirements, as well as support for other commercial initiatives.

Third quarter net loss attributable to common stockholders was ($17.5) million, or ($0.28) per share, compared to ($12.1) million, or ($0.22) per share, for the same period of 2022. Third quarter adjusted net loss was ($17.5) million, or ($0.28) per share, compared to ($12.1) million, or ($0.22) per share for the same period of 2022. Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of ($9.2) million in the third quarter of 2023 compared to a loss of ($8.6) million for the same period in 2022. See below for additional information and a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial information.

Cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and investment receivable totaled $128.2 million as of September 30, 2023. The Company believes it has sufficient balance sheet strength and flexibility to continue aggressively executing on its strategic investments and growth initiatives.

Financial Outlook

Treace is updating its full-year 2023 revenue guidance to $182 million to $186 million, which represents approximately 28% to 31% growth over the Company’s 2022 revenue. This compares to the prior full-year 2023 revenue guidance of $191 million to $197 million.

The Company expects positive adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2023 and continues to expect to show modest improvement in adjusted EBITDA for full-year 2023 compared to 2022.

An investor presentation for the Company’s third quarter 2023 financial results is available in the "Investors" section of Treace's website at investors.treace.com.

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 and debt extinguishment loss. As of March 31, 2023, in its calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, the Company began subtracting interest income from net loss as interest income is expected to be significant for the full-year 2023. Prior period results for Adjusted EBITDA have been updated to be consistent with the updated presentation as described above. This earning release also presents net loss attributable to common stockholders excluding the debt extinguishment loss on an aggregate and per share basis (“Adjusted Net Loss”). Non-GAAP financial measures such as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Loss are presented in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management uses these 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 and Adjusted Net Loss 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 and Adjusted Net Loss. Accordingly, the Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide 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 these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes investors, analysts and rating agencies consider them to be a useful metrics 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 and Adjusted Net Loss 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. Reconciliations between GAAP and non‐GAAP results are presented below.
