ANDOVER, Mass., Oct. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- TransMedics Group, Inc. ("TransMedics") (Nasdaq: TMDX), a medical technology company that is transforming organ transplant therapy for patients with end-stage lung, heart, and liver failure, today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Recent Highlights

• Total revenue of $108.8 million in the third quarter of 2024, a 64% increase compared to the third quarter of 2023
• Generated net income of $4.2 million or $0.12 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2024

"We are proud of our performance year to date and look forward to ending 2024 on a strong note," said Waleed Hassanein, MD, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We continued to make meaningful progress across each of our growth initiatives through the third quarter and maintain our conviction in our growth runway for 2025 and beyond. Overall, we remain well on track to reach our stated target of achieving 10,000 OCS transplant cases per year in the U.S. by 2028."

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Total revenue for the third quarter of 2024 was $108.8 million, a 64% increase compared to $66.4 million in the third quarter of 2023. The increase was driven primarily by the increase in utilization of the Organ Care System ("OCS™") across all three organs through the National OCS Program ("NOP™") as well as additional revenue generated by TransMedics logistics services.

Gross margin for the third quarter of 2024 was 56%, compared to 61% in the third quarter of 2023. The change from prior year is a result of a higher proportion of service revenue compared to product revenue, which carries a higher margin, in 2024.  In addition, we made investments in our NOP network to prepare for future growth.

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2024 were $56.9 million, compared to $69.0 million in the third quarter of 2023. The third quarter of 2023 included $27.2 million of non-recurring in-process research and development.  Increases in operating expense were driven primarily by increased research and development investment as well as investment throughout the organization to support the growth of the company. Third quarter operating expenses in 2024 included $7.6 million of stock compensation expense compared to $5.1 million of stock compensation expense in the third quarter of 2023.

Net income for the third quarter of 2024 was $4.2 million, or 3.9% of revenue, compared to a net loss of $25.4 million in the third quarter of 2023.

Cash was $330.1 million as of September 30, 2024 compared to $362.8 million as of June 30, 2024.

2024 Financial Outlook
TransMedics continues to expect revenue for the full year 2024 to be in the range of $425 million to $445 million, which represents 76% to 84% growth compared to the company's prior year revenue.
