“Second quarter revenue grew 40% with solid execution of our growth strategies, encouraging adjusted EBITDA progress and continued gains across our key operating metrics,” said John T. Treace, CEO, Founder and Board Member of Treace. “I’m especially pleased that we reached our stated year-end target of 200 quota carrying direct sales reps by the end of the second quarter. We expect this expansion, along with our proven commercial programs and differentiated technologies, will drive continued market penetration and position us well for the remainder of 2023 and beyond.”
Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Revenue for the second quarter of 2023 was $42.0 million, representing an increase of 40% compared to $30.0 million in the second quarter of 2022. The increase was driven by an increased number of Lapiplasty® procedure kits sold as a result of an expanded surgeon customer base, increased utilization and increased blended average selling prices due to increased adoption of the Company’s newer technologies and expanding portfolio of complementary products.
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2023 was $34.3 million, representing an increase of 39% compared to a gross profit of $24.7 million in the second quarter of 2022. Gross margin totaled 81.7% in the second quarter of 2023, compared to 82.3% in second quarter of 2022, primarily due to changes in product mix and an increase in inventory provisions, partially offset by lower royalty rates.
Total operating expenses were $47.3 million in the second quarter of 2023, including sales and marketing (S&M) expenses of $33.8 million, research and development (R&D) expenses of $3.5 million, and general and administrative (G&A) expenses of $10.0 million. This compared to total operating expenses of $36.6 million, including S&M expenses of $26.6 million, R&D expenses of $3.0 million, and G&A expenses of $7.0 million, in the second quarter of 2022. Increased operating expenses in the second quarter of 2023 reflect strategic investments in its expanding direct sales channel, investments in product innovation, increased capacity requirements, as well as support for other commercial initiatives.
Second quarter net loss attributable to common stockholders was ($12.3) million, or ($0.20) per share, compared to ($17.2) million, or ($0.31) per share, for the same period of 2022. Second quarter adjusted net loss was ($12.3) million, or ($0.20) per share, compared to ($12.8) million, or ($0.23) per share for the same period of 2022. Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of ($7.7) million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to a loss of ($9.6) million for the same period in 2022. See below for additional information and a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial information.
Financial Outlook
Treace is raising its full-year 2023 revenue guidance to $191 million to $197 million, which represents approximately 35% to 39% growth over the Company’s 2022 revenue. This compares to the prior full-year 2023 revenue guidance of $190 million to $196 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, this earnings release presents Adjusted EBITDA, which the Company defines as net loss before depreciation and amortization expense, interest income, interest expense, taxes, share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related costs and debt extinguishment loss. As of March 31, 2023, in its calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, the Company began subtracting interest income from net loss as interest income is expected to be significant for the full-year 2023. Prior period results for Adjusted EBITDA have been updated to be consistent with the updated presentation as described above. This earning release also presents net loss attributable to common stockholders excluding the debt extinguishment loss on an aggregate and per share basis (“Adjusted Net Loss”). Non-GAAP financial measures such as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Loss are presented in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company’s operating performance and trends, as well as for making planning decisions. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Loss helps to identify underlying trends in the Company’s business that may otherwise be masked by the effect of the income and expenses and other items that it excludes in its calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Loss. Accordingly, the Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating the Company’s operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects, and allowing for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics used by the Company’s management in their financial and operational decision-making. The Company also presents these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes investors, analysts and rating agencies consider them to be a useful metrics in measuring the Company’s performance against other companies and its ability to meet its debt service obligations.
There are limitations related to the use of non-GAAP financial measures such as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Loss because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, may exclude significant income and expenses required by GAAP to be recognized in the Company’s financial statements, and may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The Company encourages investors to carefully consider its results under GAAP, as well as its supplemental non‐GAAP information and the reconciliation between these presentations, to more fully understand its business. Reconciliations between GAAP and non‐GAAP results are presented below.
