TransMedics had a great quarter. Revenue was up 38% to $157 million, beating the estimates by $10 million. The gains came from liver, heart, and lung OCS segments.
As you can see, Product was the biggest contributor, with $92 million versus $61 million.
That means service is up 41.8%, product 37.7%. That's a good balance. If service were up much more than product, it would be a red flag. And that's why I made that one of the Selling Rules for TransMedics.
My strength and weakness at the same time is optimism. To protect myself from the negative side of my optimism, I used to make selling rules, but in the last year or so, I haven't done too much with them. From now on, I will focus on them more again. These are very specific for every company. And I made them for TransMedics. More about the rest of the Selling Rules later in this article.
The company raised its 2025 guidance to $585-605 million, which means 35% growth at the midpoint. Management also said they are targeting 30% operating margins by 2028.
