Insights

Tenon Medical's first-quarter 2024 financial results display a noteworthy improvement from the prior year. Revenue increased by 66% year-over-year to $719,000, which is a substantial growth driven by a corresponding 42% rise in surgical procedures. Such growth is heartening and shows strong adoption of the Catamaran System.

The gross profit surged to $470,000 as compared to a loss of $47,000 in the same quarter last year, reflecting a gross margin improvement from -11% to 65%. This not only signifies better revenue generation but also operational efficiency, benefiting from stable surgical costs and higher volumes. However, it's important to be aware of the continuing net losses, which, although reduced to $3.6 million from $4.8 million in the previous year, signal that the company still faces significant financial challenges.

Operating expenses saw a reduction, leading to a decreased operating loss of $3.5 million compared to $4.9 million in Q1 2023. This indicates effective cost control and strategic financial management. Yet, the company’s expectation of future losses suggests it remains in a critical growth and investment phase, which could impact its cash flow and require careful monitoring.

Investors should be encouraged by the increase in cash and cash equivalents to $4.4 million, from $2.4 million at the end of 2023. The full repayment of secured debt is also a positive sign, eliminating interest obligations and strengthening the balance sheet.

Overall, these financial results reflect positive momentum for Tenon Medical but also highlight the need for continued growth and financial discipline. The stabilization of gross margins and revenue growth are strong points, but the ongoing net losses and future anticipated losses require vigilance.

The medical advancements reported by Tenon Medical, particularly concerning the Catamaran® SI Joint Fusion System, are quite promising. The positive fusion results from the post-market study are significant; they provide empirical validation of the system's effectiveness, which is important for gaining further acceptance in the medical community. The report of improved VAS (Visual Analog Scale for pain) and ODI (Oswestry Disability Index) scores, complemented by radiographic evidence of bridging bone, reinforces the system’s efficacy in treating SI joint disorders.

Such clinical outcomes can directly influence the adoption rates among surgeons and patients, potentially driving further revenue growth. The Notice of Allowance for the U.S. Patent Application strengthens Tenon Medical’s intellectual property portfolio, which can provide a competitive edge in the market and foster investor confidence.

The increase in surgical procedures by 42% year-over-year indicates growing trust and utilization among healthcare providers. However, it's important to note that the medical device market is highly competitive and regulated, which could present long-term challenges in keeping up with technological advancements and regulatory requirements.

Overall, these clinical advancements are a substantial step forward for Tenon Medical, supporting the company's claims of efficacy and providing a solid foundation for future growth in the medical device sector. Investors should view these results positively, as they demonstrate both effectiveness and increasing adoption.

  • Revenue of $719,000 in the first quarter of 2024, a 66% increase over the prior year quarter.
  • Gross profit of $470,000 as compared to a gross loss of ($47,000) in the first quarter of 2023.
  • Consistent quarterly gross profit margin of 65% in the first quarter of 2024, and a notable increase as compared to (11)% in the same year ago period.
  • Announced positive fusion results in first patients reaching 12-month follow up in an IRB approved, multi-centered, post-market study utilizing the Catamaran® SI Joint Fusion System.
  • Received Notice of Allowance for its U.S. Patent Application of Tenon's Catamaran® SI Joint implant, further fortifying the Company's patent portfolio of the innovative technologies associated with system.
  • 42% increase in the number of surgical procedures in which the Catamaran System was used compared to the prior year.
  • Received proceeds of $2.6 million and retired $1.25 million in secured debt through a Series A Preferred Stock financing.
  • Expanded the Company's Board of Directors with the appointment of Kristine Jacques which deepened the bench with robust commercialization expertise.

Steve Foster, President and Chief Executive Officer of Tenon Medical, commented, "Our first quarter of 2024 reflected Tenon's continued progress with a 66% increase in revenue year-over-year driven by a 42% rise in surgical procedures utilizing The Catamaran System. We are encouraged by our fourth consecutive quarter of positive gross profit and stable gross margin of 65%, framing a solid path forward as we begin our second year of commercialization.

During the first quarter, we were pleased to report positive interim results from our ongoing post-market, multi-center, IRB approved clinical trial. The first patients are now hitting their 12-month milestone which includes a CT scan to assess bone healing. In addition to seeing marked improvements in widely used pain measures through VAS and ODI scores, we are seeing radiographic proof of bridging bone in these 12-month CT scans as assessed by an independent radiologist. To reinforce this positive data and progress, Tenon participated in the ISASS Conference in April featuring Dr. Matthew Davies to discuss his practical use of Catamaran in his SI treatment plan. Dr. Davies presented conclusive evidence from three Catamaran treated patients that delivered robust fusion results at the 12-month milestone. Taken together, this is further indication that Catamaran delivers on its promises."

Mr. Foster continued, "Additionally, in March, we welcomed Kristine Jacques to our Board of Directors bringing her significant experience in the medical devices field and successful go-to-market strategies of spinal-related technological innovation. We are honored to receive veteran counsel on the go-forward commercialization strategy for Tenon's Catamaran System combined with the post-market data to refine our sales and marketing approaches. In the first quarter, we hosted 12 physicians in targeted workshop activities and Catamaran focused training sessions.

Our first quarter performance demonstrated a successful first year of commercialization of The Catamaran's surgical procedure. We've achieved step change revenue growth, a stable and attractive gross margin and empirical evidence of the effectiveness of our SI implant and approach through our post-market study. As we develop our longer-term plan to further commercialize and expand our product portfolio to address SI Revision with our innovative patent protected technology, our commitment remains on delivering long-term value to all stakeholders," concluded Foster.
