First Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Total revenue for the first quarter of 2026 was $173.9 million, a 21% increase compared to $143.5 million in the first quarter of 2025. 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 TransMedics logistics services.

Gross margin for the first quarter of 2026 was 58%, compared to 61% in the first quarter of 2025. Gross margin was impacted primarily by investments to support growth and scale, together with higher supply chain and operating costs compared to the prior year.

Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2026 were $87.9 million compared to $60.8 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase in operating expenses 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 2026 included $9.6 million of stock compensation expense compared to $8.7 million of stock compensation expense in the first quarter of 2025.

Income from operations in the first quarter of 2026 was $13.3 million, compared to operating income of $27.4 million in the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted income from operations in the first quarter of 2026 was $18.1 million compared to adjusted income from operations of $29.8 million in the first quarter of 2025.

Net income in the first quarter of 2026 was $7.3 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, compared to net income of $25.7 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted net income in the first quarter of 2026 was $10.9 million, or $0.30 per diluted share compared to adjusted net income of $27.4 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2025.

Cash was $461.7 million as of March 31, 2026.

2026 Financial Outlook

TransMedics is reiterating its full year 2026 revenue guidance to be in the range of $727 million to $757 million, which represents 20% to 25% growth compared to the company's prior year revenue.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), we disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted income from operations, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted net income per common share. These non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, are not a substitute for, and should be considered supplemental to, GAAP financial measures. Our definitions of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies, which may limit their usefulness for comparative purposes.

We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. We believe the presentation of these measures is useful to both management and investors as they provide meaningful supplemental information with respect to our core operational performance and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making.

To calculate adjusted income from operations, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted net income per common share, we exclude certain charges (credits) from GAAP income from operations and GAAP net income, such as transaction-related costs, incremental amortization of intangible assets, headquarters relocation costs and legal matters. Amounts are presented after-tax using the company's statutory tax rate unless the amount is a significant unusual or infrequently occurring item in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740-270-30, "General Methodology and Use of Estimated Annual Effective Tax Rate."

	(1)	Incremental amortization of acquired intangible assets – We record intangible assets acquired in a business combination or asset acquisition at acquisition date fair values and amortize over their estimated useful lives. These adjustments reflect non-cash charges related to incremental amortization of acquired intangible assets, resulting from periodic reassessments of estimated economic lives. These amounts are excluded as they relate to discrete, non-routine activities rather than the Company's ongoing operations and therefore are not considered indicative of normal operating costs.
	(2)	Transaction-related costs – These adjustments primarily reflect direct and incremental costs incurred in connection with strategic initiatives and corporate development activities, and may include due diligence, deal fees, integration and other fees and costs related to transactions. The Company excludes only costs that are directly attributable to individually identifiable transactions that have progressed beyond preliminary evaluation, including those for which formal internal approvals have been obtained or third-party advisors have been engaged. Exploratory and other ongoing corporate development and strategy-related operating expenses are not excluded. Excluded costs are associated with discrete transaction events and are not reflective of the Company's core operating performance, although similar costs may be incurred in future periods.
	(3)	Headquarter relocation costs – These adjustments reflect primarily direct and incremental third-party professional fees, including valuation, accounting, and advisory services, incurred in connection with the Company's relocation of its headquarters to Somerville, Massachusetts. These costs may also include incremental depreciation of fixed assets resulting from reassessments of estimated economic lives in consideration of the relocation. The Company excludes only costs that are directly attributable to the relocation event and does not exclude ongoing occupancy, personnel, or other recurring operating expenses associated with the new headquarters.
	(4)	Legal matters - These adjustments reflect legal fees and other directly attributable costs incurred in connection with responding to and addressing matters arising from the short-seller report issued in January 2025. Such costs may include external legal counsel, advisory services, and other incremental expenses necessary to evaluate and defend against the claims. The Company excludes only costs that are specifically associated with this discrete event and does not exclude ongoing legal expenses related to normal business operations. These costs are excluded as they are non-recurring in nature and not indicative of the Company's core operating performance, although similar costs could arise in future periods.
