Treace Medical Concepts Reports First Quarter 2024 Financial Results

PONTE VEDRA, Fla. – May 7, 2024 – 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 first quarter ended March 31, 2024.

Recent Highlights

Revenue of $51.1 million in first quarter 2024 increased 21% over same period in 2023
Gross margin of 80.2% in first quarter 2024
First quarter 2024 net loss attributable to common stockholders was ($18.7) million compared to ($13.5) million for same period in 2023
Adjusted EBITDA loss improved to ($8.3) million in first quarter 2024 compared to loss of ($10.0) million for same period in 2023
Achieved full commercial availability of Micro-Lapiplasty™, SpeedPlate™ and Hammertoe technologies in first quarter 2024
Celebrated 100,000+ Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction® patient milestone and first-ever National Bunion Day, launched new "Future You" patient education and awareness campaign, and named First Medical Device Partner and Official Foot and Ankle Solution Partner for Professional Pickleball Association Tour
Patent portfolio expands to 63 granted U.S. patents, with an additional 20 granted patents worldwide and 83 pending U.S. patent applications
Revises guidance range for full-year 2024, expecting revenues of $201 million to $211 million from $220 million to $225 million

John T. Treace, CEO and Founder of Treace, said, "Our first quarter revenue growth rate of 21% represents a strong start to 2024. Revenue performance in the quarter was driven by increased procedure kit volume from our expanding base of surgeons as well as increased adoption of our newer technologies, all supported by our dedicated, direct sales team. In addition to strong revenue growth, we made encouraging progress on Adjusted EBITDA with the first quarter loss improving 18% over the prior year."

Mr. Treace continued, "Despite our strong start to the year, we have revised our guidance for fiscal 2024 to reflect a quickly evolving market environment with increased use of MIS Osteotomy solutions and more competition from knockoffs of our Lapiplasty® products. We plan to introduce two innovative 3D MIS Osteotomy solutions later this year that we believe will establish Treace as the leading comprehensive bunion solution provider. We are also taking decisive action to mitigate the impact of these competitive headwinds by rightsizing our P&L and reducing costs. I am confident in our ability to effectively navigate this new operating environment as we continue to work to capture the opportunities ahead, innovate for our surgeon customer base and deliver long-term value for our shareholders."

First Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Revenue for the first quarter of 2024 was $51.1 million, representing an increase of 21% compared to $42.2 million in the first quarter of 2023. The increase was driven by higher volume of procedure kits sold as a result of an expanded surgeon customer base and a product mix shift that resulted from increased adoption of newer technologies and increased sales of complementary products used in bunion and related midfoot procedures.

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2024 was $41.0 million, representing an increase of 20% compared to a gross profit of $34.2 million in the first quarter of 2023. Gross margin totaled 80.2% in the first quarter of 2024, compared to 80.9% in the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to a shift in product mix to newer products, partially offset by lower royalty rates.

 

Total operating expenses were $59.9 million in the first quarter of 2024, compared to total operating expenses of $47.9 million in the first quarter of 2023. Increased operating expenses in the first quarter of 2024, including share-based compensation expense, reflect strategic investments in the Company’s expanding direct sales channel, investments in product innovation, and support for other corporate initiatives.

First quarter 2024 net loss attributable to common stockholders was ($18.7) million, or ($0.30) per share, compared to ($13.5) million, or ($0.23) per share, for the same period in 2023. Adjusted EBITDA loss was ($8.3) million in the first quarter of 2024 compared to a loss of ($10.0) million for the same period in 2023. See below for additional information and a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial information.

Cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and investment receivable totaled $112.1 million as of March 31, 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 now expects full-year 2024 revenue of $201 million to $211 million, representing growth of 7% to 13%, compared to full-year 2023. This compares to previous guidance of $220 million to $225 million.

The Company continues to expect to make significant improvement in Adjusted EBITDA for full-year 2024 and anticipates Adjusted EBITDA to improve 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.

An investor presentation for the Company’s first quarter 2024 financial results is available in the "Investors" section of Treace's website at investors.treace.com.

Webcast and Conference Call Details

Treace will host a conference call today, May 7, 2024, at 4:30 p.m. ET to discuss its first 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 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

This press release and statements made during our earnings call contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the Company’s: revised revenue guidance and estimated revenue growth rates for full-year 2024; estimated quarterly revenue growth rates; ability to effectively respond to and mitigate the impact of challenges in the current market environment, including in response to increased competition and accelerating adoption of MIS osteotomy solutions; ability to effectively reduce costs and right size the Company’s P&L; anticipated future product launches and the timing of such product launches, including our planned 3D MIS osteotomy platforms; our ability to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights; our success in defending against infringement of our intellectual property by third parties, including our competitors; expected seasonality; anticipated pace of growth in the foot and ankle market; sufficient balance sheet strength and flexibility to continue effectively executing on its strategic investments and growth initiatives for the foreseeable future; and expectation of progress in Adjusted EBITDA for full-year 2024 and expected rate of Adjusted EBITDA improvement. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s current assumptions and expectations of future events and trends, which affect or may affect the Company’s business, strategy, operations or financial performance, and actual results and other events may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements due to numerous risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified.
