PONTE VEDRA, Fla., Aug. 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Treace Medical Concepts, Inc. (“Treace” or the “Company”) (NasdaqGS: TMCI), a commercial-stage orthopaedic medical device company driving a paradigm shift in the surgical treatment of Hallux Valgus (commonly known as bunions), today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021.
Recent Highlights:
- Revenue of $20.7 million, a 167% increase over the same period last year
- Gross margin of 80.9%, an increase of 780 basis points from the same period last year
- Interim results from ALIGN3D™ clinical study demonstrating positive radiographic and patient-reported outcomes starting at 6 weeks and maintained at 12 months
“We are pleased to announce continued strength in our business, with growth in the second quarter led by increasing surgeon utilization and steady gains in our customer base supported by our expanding direct sales channel” said John T. Treace, CEO, Founder and Board Member of Treace. “While the return to pre-pandemic levels may not be linear, we continue to believe we are well-positioned to drive continued market penetration of our Lapiplasty® system, with comprehensive strategies and offerings that include a body of clinical evidence demonstrating consistent, reliable correction and low recurrence rates.”
Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Revenue for the second quarter of 2021 was $20.7 million, representing an increase of 167% compared to $7.7 million in the second quarter of 2020. The increase was driven by an increased number of Lapiplasty® procedure kits sold and an expanded customer base. Revenues during the 2020 second quarter were severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, including the government-mandated restrictions on elective procedures.
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2021 was $16.7 million, compared to a gross profit of $5.7 million in the second quarter of 2020. Gross margin increased to 80.9% in the second quarter of 2021, compared to 73.1% in the second quarter of 2020. Gross margin expansion was the result of an increased number of Lapiplasty® procedure kits sold and a higher average blended ASP. Gross margin for the 2020 period also reflects pandemic-related disruptions.
Total operating expenses were $20.8 million in the second quarter of 2021, including sales and marketing (S&M) expenses of $14.0 million, research and development (R&D) expenses of $2.4 million, and general and administrative (G&A) expenses of $4.3 million. This compared to total operating expenses of $7.2 million, including S&M expenses of $4.8 million, R&D expenses of $1.0 million, and G&A expenses of $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2020. Expenses in the second quarter of 2020 reflect cost-reduction initiatives and the effect of shelter-in-place orders as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Second quarter net loss was ($5.1) million, or ($0.10) per share, compared to net loss of ($2.1) million, or ($0.06) per share, for the same period of 2020.
Cash and cash equivalents were $119.6 million as of June 30, 2021. This includes cash proceeds of $107.6 million from the Company’s initial public offering that closed in April 2021.
Financial Outlook
Treace now expects revenue for the full year 2021 to range from $90 million to $95 million, which represents approximately 57% to 65% growth over the Company’s fiscal year 2020 revenue. Previous revenue expectation was $87 million to $92 million.

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, stock-based compensation expense and interest income/expense. Adjusted EBITDA is being presented in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA 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 could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses and other items that it excludes in Adjusted EBITDA. Accordingly, the Company believes Adjusted EBITDA 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 the key financial metrics used by the Company’s management in their financial and operational decision-making. The Company also presents Adjusted EBITDA because it believes investors, analysts and rating agencies consider it 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 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. Reconciliations between GAAP and non‐GAAP results are presented below.
Forward-Looking Statements
