First Quarter 2025 Financial Results 

Total revenue for the first quarter of 2025 was $143.5 million, a 48% increase compared to $96.9 million in the first quarter of 2024. The increase was due primarily to the increase in utilization of the Organ Care System ("OCS"), primarily in Liver and Heart through the National OCS Program ("NOP") as well as additional revenue generated by the addition of TransMedics logistics services.

Gross margin for the first quarter of 2025 was 61%, compared to 62% in the first quarter of 2024, and compared to 59% in the fourth quarter of 2024. The change from prior year is a result of a higher proportion of service revenue.

Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2025 were $60.8 million, compared to $47.5 million in the first quarter of 2024. 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. First quarter operating expenses in 2025 included $8.7 million of stock compensation expense compared to $6.5 million of stock compensation expense in the first quarter of 2024.

Net income for the first quarter of 2025 was $25.7 million, 18% of revenue, compared to net income of $12.2 million in the first quarter of 2024.

Cash was $310.1 million as of March 31, 2025.

2025 Financial Outlook

TransMedics is raising its full year 2025 revenue guidance to be in the range of $565 million to $585 million, which represents 30% growth at the midpoint compared to the company's prior year revenue.
