LOS GATOS, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 13, 2024 / Tenon Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ:TNON)(NASDAQ:TNONW) (“Tenon Medical” or the “Company” or “Tenon”), a company transforming care for patients suffering with certain sacroiliac joint (SI Joint) disorders, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Second Quarter 2024 and Subsequent Highlights

  • Revenue of $901,000 in the second quarter of 2024, a 21% increase over the prior year quarter and a 25% increase over the first quarter of 2024.

  • Gross profit of $470,000 as compared to $194,000 in the second quarter of 2023, an increase of 142%.

  • Gross profit margin of 52% in the second quarter of 2024, a notable increase as compared to 26% in the same year ago period.

  • Normalized number of surgical procedures in which The Catamaran™ SI Joint Fusion System (“The Catamaran System”) was used with an increase of 7% compared to the prior year.

  • Announced retirement of Chief Financial Officer Steve Van Dick and commenced an executive search to fill the role.

  • Steve Van Dick to remain as CFO Advisor to ensure smooth transition process.

  • Appointed Jay Hanson as interim Principal Accounting Officer.

Steve Foster, President and Chief Executive Officer of Tenon Medical, commented, “Tenon demonstrated solid performance in the second quarter with revenue growth of 21% from the prior year, driven by a 7% increase in The Catamaran System surgical procedures. Taking our learnings from 2023, during the quarter, we have successfully filled all sales positions in our five U.S. regions. In the second quarter, based upon the initial impact of our expanded sales operation, we hosted 37 physicians in targeted workshop activities and Catamaran focused training sessions.

Additionally, we are pleased to report four consecutive quarters of positive gross profit with growth of 142% over the prior year second quarter. Our gross margin of 52% was driven by a normalization of higher revenue associated with the moderate increase in the number of surgical procedures, as we maintain a controlled operating leverage structure offset by lower overhead absorption into inventory.

Further, as we near completion of enrollment of our Post-Market, Prospective, Multi-Center clinical trial, we have been notified that publication of our interim analysis is now imminent. This peer reviewed analysis reinforces that the Catamaran procedure delivers on its promises. We look forward to sharing details when publication is complete in the near future.

Lastly, I’d like to extend gratitude to my partner in Tenon’s journey and wish Steve Van Dick the best in his retirement. Steve’s financial expertise and leadership has established Tenon’s solid foundation to support our long-term strategic growth and expansion. While Steve will remain as a CFO advisor, we are confident in the financial experience of Jay Hanson as interim Principal Accounting Officer, having held the position of Senior Director of SEC reporting and compliance under the guidance of Mr. Van Dick while we continue our executive search process for a permanent CFO,” concluded Mr. Foster.

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Revenue was $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2024, an increase of 21%, compared to $0.7 million in the comparable year ago period. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024, was $1.6 million, an increase of 38%, compared to $1.2 million in six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the same periods in 2023 was primarily due to increases of 7% and 19%, respectively, in the number of surgical procedures in which The Catamaran System was used.

Gross profit in the second quarter of 2024 was $0.5 million, or 52% of revenues, two times the multiple of $0.2 million, or 26% of revenues in the comparable year ago quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, gross profit was $0.9 million, or 58% of revenues, compared to a gross profit of $147,000, or 13% of revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Gross margin percentage improved due to higher revenue associated with the increase in the number of surgical procedures.

Operating expenses totaled $4.3 million for the second quarter of 2024, largely in line with expenses of $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, operating expenses totaled $8.3 million compared to $9.4 million in the prior year period. Operating expenses consist of a decline in research and development and sales and marketing expenses, offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses.

Net loss was $3.8 million for the second quarter of 2024, a marginal improvement from a loss of $4.3 million in the same period of 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net loss was $7.4 million compared to $9.1 million in the previous year period. The Company expects to incur additional losses in the future.

About Tenon Medical, Inc.

Tenon Medical, Inc., a medical device company formed in 2012, has developed The Catamaran™ SI Joint Fusion System that offers a novel, less invasive approach to the SI joint using a single, robust titanium implant. The system features the Catamaran™ Fixation Device which passes through both the axial and sagittal planes of the ilium and sacrum, stabilizing and transfixing the SI joint along its longitudinal axis. The angle and trajectory of the Catamaran surgical approach is also designed to provide a pathway away from critical neural and vascular structures and into the strongest cortical bone. Tenon is underway with a national launch of this system to address the greatly underserved market opportunity that exists in this space. For more information, please visit www.tenonmed.com.
