Business Context and Reporting Period

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q covers the three-month period ended March 31, 2026. TransMedics Group, Inc. is a medical technology company developing the Organ Care System (OCS), a portable, multi-organ warm perfusion technology platform for heart, lung, and liver transplants. The company also operates the National OCS Program (NOP), providing outsourced organ procurement and transplant logistics services.

Key Financial Metrics

Note: Total Debt includes $460.0 million in Convertible Senior Notes and $60.0 million in CIBC Credit Agreement borrowings.

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Total revenue increased by 21.2% ($30.4 million) year-over-year, driven primarily by a 27.8% increase in U.S. OCS Liver revenue ($30.3 million increase) and growth in the NOP service revenue.
• Profitability Decline: Net income decreased by 71.5% to $7.3 million. This was primarily due to a significant increase in operating expenses ($27.1 million increase) and higher interest expense ($3.7 million increase).
• Expense Increases:
  • Selling, General & Administrative (SG&A): Increased by $19.4 million, largely due to personnel costs, professional fees (including $2.7 million in transaction costs), and a $4.8 million increase in depreciation/amortization related to a new headquarters lease and intangible asset adjustments.
  • R&D: Increased by $7.7 million due to headcount expansion for next-generation OCS development and increased consulting costs.
• Margin Compression: Overall gross margin declined from 61.5% to 58.2%, attributed to product mix shifts and higher freight costs.
• Capital Expenditures: Investing cash outflows increased to $36.7 million, primarily for the purchase of land and a building in Somerville, Massachusetts, for a new global headquarters.

Guidance, Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items

• Headquarters Relocation: In January 2026, the company entered into a finance lease for a new 498,286 sq. ft. facility in Somerville, MA, with a purchase option. This resulted in significant non-cash finance lease liabilities ($343.8 million) and increased depreciation/amortization expenses.
• Legal Proceedings: The company is defending a consolidated class action lawsuit (Jewik v. TransMedics Group, Inc.) alleging securities fraud related to statements made between February 2023 and January 2025. The company has filed a motion to dismiss and cannot currently estimate potential losses.
• Internal Controls: Management identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to inventory movement within the manufacturing network. Disclosure controls were deemed ineffective as of March 31, 2026, though financial statements are considered fairly presented.
• Liquidity: The company holds $461.7 million in cash and believes it is sufficient to fund operations for at least the next 12 months. However, future funding needs may arise for R&D, manufacturing expansion, and international growth.
• Regulatory Environment: The company notes uncertainty regarding the U.S. Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) transition to a multi-vendor model, which could impact the NOP business.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Inventory Controls: Verify the progress of the remediation plan for the material weakness in inventory movement controls.
• Legal Exposure: Monitor the status of the consolidated class action lawsuit and any potential settlement or dismissal outcomes.
• Debt Covenants: Confirm continued compliance with the CIBC Credit Agreement covenants, specifically the minimum liquidity and revenue thresholds.
• Headquarters Costs: Assess the long-term impact of the new Somerville facility lease and purchase option on future cash flows and depreciation.
• Revenue Mix: Analyze the sustainability of the OCS Liver revenue growth and the impact of product mix on future gross margins.
