Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Results 

Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $121.6 million, a 50% increase compared to $81.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase was driven primarily by an increase in utilization of the Organ Care System ("OCS^TM") across all three organs through our National OCS Program ("NOP^TM") as well as additional revenue generated by TransMedics logistics services.

Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2024 was 59.2%, showing a slight improvement from 59.0% in Q4 of 2023.

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2024 were $63.4 million, compared to $45.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase in operating expense was driven primarily by increased research and development investment as well as investment throughout the organization to support the growth of the company. Fourth quarter operating expenses in 2024 included $10.4 million of stock compensation expense, compared to $5.5 million of stock compensation expense in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $6.9 million, or 6% of revenue, compared to  $4.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Full Year 2024 Financial Results 

Total revenue for the full year of 2024 was $441.5 million, an 83% increase compared to $241.6 million for the full year of 2023. The increase was driven primarily by the increase in utilization of the OCS across all three organs through the NOP as well as additional revenue generated by TransMedics logistics services.

Gross margin for the full year of 2024 was 59.4%, compared to 63.8% in the full year of 2023. The change from prior year was a result of a higher proportion of service revenue compared to product revenue, which carries a higher margin, in 2024.  The company also made investments in its NOP network to prepare for future growth.

Operating expenses for the full year of 2024 were $224.6 million, compared to $182.8 million in the full year of 2023. The increase in operating expense was driven primarily by increased research and development investment as well as investment throughout the organization to support the growth of the company. Full year operating expenses in 2024 included $31.7 million of stock compensation expense compared to $19.4 million of stock compensation expense in the full year of 2023.

Net income for the full year of 2024 was $35.5 million, or 8% of revenue, compared to a net loss of $25.0 million in the full year of 2023.

Cash was $336.7 million as of December 31, 2024 compared to $330.1 million as of September 30, 2024.

2025 Financial Outlook
