(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) PONTE VEDRA, Fla., Nov. 05, 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 third quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Recent Highlights

  • Revenue of $45.1 million in third quarter 2024 increased 11% over same period in 2023
  • Third quarter 2024 net loss was ($15.4) million compared to ($17.5) million for same period in 2023. Adjusted EBITDA loss improved 45% to ($5.1) million in the third quarter 2024 compared to ($9.2) million for the same period in 2023
  • Announces first entry into high volume osteotomy market with NanoplastyTM 3D Minimally Invasive Bunion CorrectionTM Procedure and reaffirms plan to release second minimally invasive technology platform later in the fourth quarter
  • Focused R&D innovation pipeline is now poised to significantly expand technology and procedure offerings through 2025 and beyond
  • Files patent infringement and unfair competition suit to protect Lapiplasty® bunion technology. Expanded patent portfolio now includes 67 granted U.S. patents, 24 granted patents outside of the U.S. and 85 pending U.S. patent applications

“Our third quarter results reflect our focused execution to drive growth in the business while steadily improving our operating leverage. In addition, we are excited to announce the market release of NanoplastyTM 3D MIS System, our first entry into the osteotomy market,” said John T. Treace, CEO and Founder of Treace.“We believe this innovative new system, combined with our market leading Lapiplasty®, Adductoplasty® and robust pipeline of future technology and procedure offerings, will further drive penetration into the overall bunion market and continue to expand our surgeon customer base through 2025 and beyond.”

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Revenue for the third quarter of 2024 was $45.1 million, representing an increase of 11% compared to $40.8 million in the third quarter of 2023. The increase was driven by product mix shift that resulted from increased adoption of newer technologies and increased sales of ancillary products used in bunion cases and an increase in active surgeons.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2024 was $36.1 million compared to a gross profit of $32.8 million in the third quarter of 2023. Gross margin totaled 80.1% in the third quarter of 2024, compared to 80.4% in the third quarter of 2023, primarily due to an increase in inventory provisions and a shift in product mix, partially offset by lower royalty rates.

Total operating expenses were $51.3 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared to total operating expenses of $50.6 million in the third quarter of 2023. Increased operating expenses in the third quarter of 2024 reflect increased share-based compensation expense, investments in product innovation, and support for other corporate initiatives.

Third quarter 2024 net loss was ($15.4) million, or ($0.25) per share, compared to ($17.5) million, or ($0.28) per share, for the same period in 2023. Adjusted EBITDA loss was ($5.1) million in the third quarter of 2024 compared to a loss of ($9.2) million for the same period in 2023. See below for additional information and a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial information.

Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities totaled $82.8 million as of September 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 revising full-year 2024 revenue guidance to $204 million to $211 million, representing growth of 9% to 13%, compared to full-year 2023. This compares to previous guidance of $201 million to $211 million.

The Company continues to expect our Adjusted EBITDA loss to decrease by 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, November 5, 2024, at 4:30 p.m. ET to discuss its third 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.

Forward-Looking Statements
