ANDOVER, Mass., Feb. 26, 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 and year ended December 31, 2023.

Recent Highlights

Total revenue of $81.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, a 159% increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2022
Total revenue of $241.6 million in the full year of 2023, a 159% increase compared to the full year of 2022
Generated net income of $4.0 million or $0.12 per share in the fourth quarter of 2023

"2023 was a great year for TransMedics as we achieved 159% revenue growth and launched TransMedics transplant logistics services to provide a more operationally and economically efficient service to our transplant program users," said Waleed Hassanein, MD, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are humbled and excited that the use of OCS technology and our NOP program were primary drivers in increasing the national heart and liver transplant volumes by 12% in 2023. This double-digit growth in transplant volumes has not been witnessed in several years."

Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $81.2 million, a 159% increase compared to $31.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase was due primarily to the increase in utilization of the OCS through the National OCS Program ("NOP") as well as additional revenue generated by the addition of TransMedics logistics services.

Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2023 was 59% compared to 66% in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2023 were $45.3 million compared to $27.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase in operating expense was driven primarily by increased investment throughout the organization to support the growth of the company. Fourth quarter operating expenses in 2023 included $5.5 million of stock compensation expense compared to $3.0 million of stock compensation in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $4.0 million compared to net loss of $6.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Full Year 2023 Financial Results

Total revenue for the full year of 2023 was $241.6 million, a 159% increase compared to $93.5 million in the full year of 2022. The increase was due primarily to the increase in utilization of the OCS through the NOP as well as additional revenue generated by the addition of TransMedics logistics services.

Gross margin for the full year of 2023 was 64% compared to 70% in the full year of 2022.

Operating expenses for the full year of 2023 were $182.8 million compared to $96.7 million in the full year of 2022. The increase in operating expense was driven by investment throughout the organization to support the growth in the business as well as an acquired in-process research and development charge of $27.2 million and an additional $2.0 million in non-recurring acquisition-related costs, both in the third quarter of 2023. Full year 2023 operating expenses included $19.4 million of stock compensation expense compared to $10.3 million in 2022.

Net loss for the full year of 2023 was $25.0 million compared to $36.2 million in the full year of 2022.

Cash was $394.8 million as of December 31, 2023.

2024 Financial Outlook

TransMedics expects total revenue for full-year 2024 to be in the range of $360 million to $370 million, which represents 49% to 53% growth compared to the company's prior year revenue.
