PONTE VEDRA, Fla., Nov. 04, 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 third quarter ended September 30, 2021.
Recent Highlights:
Revenue of $21.6 million, a 52% increase over the same period last year and a 4.7% increase sequentially
Gross margin of 80.4%, an increase of 80 basis points from the same period last year
Commercial launch of AdductoplastyTM System, a comprehensive set of implants and instrumentation designed for reproducible midfoot correction
Additional U.S. patent grant on instrumented bunion correction, directed generally to methods of performing a bunion surgery to correct a first metatarsal alignment
New interim data from ALIGN3D™ clinical study, presented at 2021 American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society annual meeting, demonstrating continued positive radiographic and patient-reported outcomes starting at 6 weeks and maintained at 24 months following the Lapiplasty® procedure. Low recurrence rate also maintained, with 0.9% (1 out of 104 patients) observed at 12 months post surgery
First patient treated in Mini3D™ Lapiplasty® clinical study evaluating patient outcomes using the Lapiplasty® Mini-Incision™ System
Appointed two new members to the Board of Directors
“In the third quarter we saw steady and encouraging progress across multiple initiatives. Despite pandemic-related headwinds, we posted a 52% revenue increase compared to year ago levels, launched a new and complementary midfoot correction Adductoplasty™ System, and treated our first patient in our Mini3D™ clinical study using our Lapiplasty® Mini-Incision™ System. Further, key business metrics, including surgeon utilization, customer engagement, and direct sales channel contributions, continue to trend favorably,” said John T. Treace, CEO, Founder and Board Member of Treace. “We are focused on our execution and believe we are well-positioned to drive market penetration of our Lapiplasty® System, supported by a comprehensive set of strategies and offerings, including a growing body of clinical evidence demonstrating reproducible outcomes with low recurrence rates.”
Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Revenue for the third quarter of 2021 was $21.6 million, representing an increase of 52% compared to $14.3 million in the third quarter of 2020. The increase was driven by an increased number of Lapiplasty® procedure kits sold and an expanded customer base.
Gross profit for the third quarter of 2021 was $17.4 million, compared to a gross profit of $11.4 million in the third quarter of 2020. Gross margin increased to 80.4% in the third quarter of 2021, compared to 79.6% in the third quarter of 2020. Gross margin expansion was the result of improved absorption on an increased number of Lapiplasty® procedure kits sold and a higher blended average selling price.
Total operating expenses were $22.8 million in the third quarter of 2021, including sales and marketing (S&M) expenses of $16.0 million, research and development (R&D) expenses of $2.5 million, and general and administrative (G&A) expenses of $4.3 million. This compared to total operating expenses of $11.4 million, including S&M expenses of $8.1 million, R&D expenses of $1.5 million, and G&A expenses of $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2020. Expenses in the third quarter of 2021 reflect increased spending on marketing initiatives, patient outreach and additions to our sales organization.
Third quarter net loss was ($6.4) million, or ($0.12) per share, compared to net loss of ($2.8) million, or ($0.08) per share, for the same period of 2020.
Cash and cash equivalents were $109.5 million as of September 30, 2021.
Financial Outlook
For the full year 2021, Treace is reaffirming revenue guidance to be in the range of $90 million to $95 million, which represents approximately 57% to 65% growth over the Company’s 2020 revenue.

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 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 may 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 a key financial metric 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
This press release contains 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 belief that it is well positioned to drive continued market penetration of the Lapiplasty® System; and the Company’s expected revenue for full year 2021. 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.

Factors that could cause actual results or other events to differ materially from those contemplated in this press release can be found in the Risk Factors section of Treace’s public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including in the final prospectus filed with the SEC on April 26, 2021 in connection with Treace’s initial public offering. Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. These forward-looking statements speak only as of their date and, except to the extent required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update these statements, whether as a result of any new information, future developments or otherwise.
