On August 5, 2024, OrthoPediatrics Corp (KIDS, Financial) released its 8-K filing for the second quarter of 2024. OrthoPediatrics Corp is a medical device company focused on providing products to the pediatric orthopedic market. The firm designs, develops, and commercializes implants and instruments to meet the needs of surgeons and patients, with products including PediLoc, PediPlates, Cannulated Screws, PediFlexTM nail, PediNailTM, PediLoc Tibia, and ACL Reconstruction System among others.
Performance and Challenges
OrthoPediatrics Corp reported a record total revenue of $52.8 million for Q2 2024, a 33% increase from $39.6 million in Q2 2023. This exceeded the analyst estimate of $52.49 million. However, the company reported a net loss of $6.0 million, translating to a net loss per share of $0.26, which missed the analyst estimate of -$0.24 per share. The increase in revenue was driven by organic growth in Trauma and Deformity and Scoliosis products, as well as the addition of Boston O&P.
Financial Achievements
The company achieved a gross profit of $40.8 million, a 36% increase compared to $30.0 million for the same period last year. The gross profit margin for Q2 2024 was 77%, up from 76% in Q2 2023. This improvement was primarily driven by higher domestic growth combined with lower international set sales and favorable purchase price variance release.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
As of June 30, 2024, OrthoPediatrics Corp had cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, and restricted cash totaling $30.9 million, down from $82.3 million as of December 31, 2023. The decrease in cash was attributed to $5.5 million paid for one-time events. The company also announced a private financing arrangement with Braidwell, LP, providing up to $100 million of capital, which includes a $50 million term loan and $50 million of convertible notes.
Analysis and Outlook
OrthoPediatrics Corp's strong revenue growth is a positive indicator of its market position and product demand. However, the increased operating expenses and net loss highlight the challenges the company faces in managing costs while expanding. The reaffirmation of full-year 2024 revenue guidance of $200.0 million to $203.0 million, representing growth of 34% to 36%, is a positive sign for investors.
David Bailey, President & CEO of OrthoPediatrics, commented, “I am excited about our productive start to the year. We are executing across the business in a normalized Children's hospital environment to deliver healthy revenue growth and increased operating leverage. Our clinically differentiated product portfolio is driving continued market share gains. We are capitalized to achieve cash flow breakeven and uniquely positioned to continue investing in transformative product development and in our OPSB expansion strategy, while we generate operating cash flow that we expect will support next year's planned set builds."
