TransMedics Reports First Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Andover, Mass. – May 06, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – 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 March 31, 2020.

“We began 2020 with strong momentum and remain extremely confident in TransMedics’ long-term prospects,” said Waleed Hassanein, MD, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We continue to lean forward throughout this COVID-19 pandemic to establish and broaden our technological and clinical service offering to facilitate organ procurement and transplantation using our OCS Technology during and in the post-COVID era. We have also taken extensive measures to preserve cash and mitigate business and health risks on our organization and team. Finally, I want take a moment to thank the transplant healthcare workers and TransMedics team on the frontline during this pandemic who are ensuring that organ transplants procedures are continuing to help patients in need.”

First Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Net revenue for the first quarter of 2020 was $7.5 million, a 61% increase compared to $4.7 million in the first quarter of 2019. The increase was driven by OCS adoption in several areas including US OCS Lung commercial adoption, US clinical trials for OCS Heart and OCS Liver, as well as international OCS Heart.

Gross margin for the first quarter of 2020 was 65% as compared to 55% in the first quarter of 2019.

Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2020 were $12.9 million compared to $8.5 million in the first quarter of 2019. The increase in operating expenses was driven by higher SG&A costs stemming from investments in our commercial team and costs associated with being a public company. In addition, costs associated with supporting clinical trials and product development drove R&D expenses as compared to the first quarter of 2019.

Net loss for the first quarter of 2020 was $8.9 million compared to $6.9 million in the first quarter of 2019.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $72.6 million as of March 31, 2020.

2020 Financial Outlook

As previously announced, on April 13, 2020, TransMedics withdrew its annual guidance for 2020 due to the unpredictability of the duration and the magnitude of the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on its financial and operating results.
