Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Total revenue for the second quarter of 2026 was $189.9 million, a 21% increase compared to $157.4 million in the second quarter of 2025. The increase was due primarily to the increase in utilization of the Organ Care System (“OCS”), primarily in Liver and Heart through the National OCS Program (“NOP”) as well as additional revenue generated by TransMedics logistics services.

Gross margin was 60%, compared with 61% in the prior-year period. The year-over-year decrease primarily reflected a higher mix of service revenue, and temporary product-cost factors, including inventory provisioning and trial-related solution cost, partly offset by improved logistics efficiency.

Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2026 were $89.5 million compared to $60.0 million in the second quarter of 2025. The increase in operating expenses was driven primarily by planned investment in OCS Kidney, Gen 3.0 and clinical programs, together with selected infrastructure investments required to support the company’s growth. Second quarter operating expenses in 2026 included $8.2 million of stock compensation expense compared to $9.0 million of stock compensation expense in the second quarter of 2025.

Income from operations in the second quarter of 2026 was $23.7 million, compared to operating income of $36.6 million in the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted income from operations in the second quarter of 2026 was $25.8 million compared to adjusted income from operations of $36.6 million in the second quarter of 2025.

Net income in the second quarter of 2026 was $14.7 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, compared to net income of $34.9 million, or $0.92 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted net income in the second quarter of 2026 was $16.2 million, or $0.44 per diluted share compared to adjusted net income of $34.9 million, or $0.92 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2025.

Cash was $472.7 million as of June 30, 2026.

2026 Financial Outlook
TransMedics is raising the low end of its full-year 2026 revenue guidance to a range of $737 million to $757 million. This guidance excludes any revenue attributable to the recent strategic investment in PAD Aviation service GmbH, assumes no incremental revenue from the ENHANCE Part B and DENOVO clinical trials, and represents approximately 22% to 25% growth compared to the company’s prior year revenue. TransMedics’ full year 2026 revenue guidance as reported on May 5, 2026 was previously in the range of $727 million to $757 million.

Our management cannot predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this press release may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated in or implied by the forward-looking statements. Some of the key factors that could cause actual results to differ include: the fluctuation of our financial results from quarter to quarter; our ability to attract, train and retain key personnel; our dependence on the success of the OCS; our ability to expand access to the OCS through our NOP; our ability to improve the OCS platform, including by developing the next generation of the OCS products or expanding into new indications and the development, and potential commercialization of our OCS Kidney device; the degree of success we experience in commercializing our OCS products for additional indications, including potentially OCS Kidney; the timing or results of clinical trials for the OCS, including pre- and post-approval studies, or other product candidates, including CHOPS; our ability to sustain profitability; our need to raise additional funding and our ability to obtain it on favorable terms, or at all; our ability to use net operating losses and research and development credit carryforwards; that we have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, and that we may identify additional material weaknesses in the future; our ability to scale our manufacturing and sterilization capabilities to meet increasing demand for our products; the rate and degree of market acceptance of the OCS; our ability to educate patients, surgeons, transplant centers and private and public payors on the benefits offered by the OCS; our dependence on a limited number of customers for a significant portion of our revenue; our ability to maintain regulatory approvals or clearances for our OCS products in the United States, the European Union and other select jurisdictions worldwide; our ability to adequately respond to the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) or other competent authorities, follow-up inquiries in a timely manner; the impact of healthcare policy changes, including recently enacted or potential future legislation or administrative actions affecting or reforming the U.S. healthcare system, Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network, or the FDA; the performance of our third-party suppliers and manufacturers; our use of third parties to transport donor organs and medical personnel for our NOP and our ability to maintain and grow our transplant logistics capabilities to support our NOP to reduce dependence on third party transportation, including by means of attracting, training and retaining pilots, and the acquisition, maintenance or replacement of fixed-wing aircraft for our aviation transportation services or other acquisitions, joint ventures or strategic investments; our ability to maintain Federal Aviation Administration, or other regulatory licenses or approvals for our aircraft transportation services; price increases of the components of our products and maintenance, parts and fuel for our aircraft; our manufacturing, sales, marketing and clinical support capabilities and strategy; attacks against our information technology, or IT, infrastructure; the economic, political and other risks associated with our foreign operations; our ability to protect, defend, maintain and enforce our intellectual property rights relating to the OCS and avoid allegations that our products or services infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate the intellectual property rights of third parties; the pricing of the OCS, as well as the reimbursement coverage for the OCS in the United States and internationally; regulatory developments in the United States, European Union and other jurisdictions; the impact of a shutdown of the U.S. government; the extent and success of competing products or procedures that are or may become available; our ability to service our 1.50% convertible senior notes, due 2028; our existing and any future indebtedness, including our ability to comply with affirmative and negative covenants under our credit agreements to which we will remain subject until maturity; the impact of any product recalls or improper use of our products; our international expansion plans and the costs related thereto, including the costs associated with maintaining, improving and expanding our commercial operations globally, including the NOP and the Company’s investment in PAD Aviation; our estimates regarding revenue, expenses, capital expenditures and needs for additional financing; and other factors that may be described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Additional information will be made available in our annual and quarterly reports and other filings that we make with the SEC. The forward-looking statements in this press release speak only as of the date of this press release. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and we are not able to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by applicable law.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted income from operations, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted net income per common share. These non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, are not a substitute for, and should be considered supplemental to, GAAP financial measures. Our definitions of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies, which may limit their usefulness for comparative purposes.

We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. We believe the presentation of these measures is useful to both management and investors as they provide meaningful supplemental information with respect to our core operational performance and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making.

To calculate adjusted income from operations, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted net income per common share, we exclude certain charges (credits) from GAAP income from operations and GAAP net income, such as transaction-related costs, incremental amortization of intangible assets, ERP implementation costs, headquarters relocation costs and legal matters. Amounts are presented after-tax using the company’s statutory tax rate unless the amount is a significant unusual or infrequently occurring item in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740-270-30, “General Methodology and Use of Estimated Annual Effective Tax Rate.”

In reliance upon the unreasonable efforts exemption provided under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K, the Company is not able to provide a reconciliation of its non-GAAP financial guidance that excludes the impact of PAD aviation to the corresponding GAAP measures without unreasonable effort because of the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts necessary for such a reconciliation. Because this information is uncertain, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

(1)

Transaction-related costs – These adjustments primarily reflect direct and incremental costs incurred in connection with strategic initiatives and corporate development activities, and may include due diligence, deal fees, integration and other fees and costs related to transactions. The Company excludes only costs that are directly attributable to individually identifiable transactions that have progressed beyond preliminary evaluation, including those for which formal internal approvals have been obtained or third-party advisors have been engaged. Exploratory and other ongoing corporate development and strategy-related operating expenses are not excluded. Excluded costs are associated with discrete transaction events and are not reflective of the Company’s core operating performance, although similar costs may be incurred in future periods.

(2)

Headquarters relocation costs – These adjustments reflect primarily direct and incremental third-party professional fees, including valuation, accounting, and advisory services, incurred in connection with the Company’s relocation of its headquarters to Somerville, Massachusetts. These costs may also include incremental depreciation of fixed assets resulting from reassessments of estimated economic lives in consideration of the relocation.  The Company excludes only costs that are directly attributable to the relocation event and does not exclude ongoing occupancy, personnel, or other recurring operating expenses associated with the new headquarters.

(3)

ERP implementation costs – These adjustments reflect direct and incremental costs incurred in connection with the design, configuration, testing, deployment, and initial implementation of a new enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system, or a significant upgrade or replacement of an existing ERP platform. Such costs may include third-party consulting, system integration, project management, data conversion, and other implementation-related professional fees. The Company excludes only costs that are directly attributable to the initial implementation or significant transformation of an ERP platform and that are non-recurring in nature. Ongoing software subscription, hosting, maintenance, support, personnel, and other recurring information technology operating expenses are not excluded.

(4)

Incremental amortization of acquired intangible assets – We record intangible assets acquired in a business combination or asset acquisition at acquisition date fair values and amortize over their estimated useful lives. These adjustments reflect non-cash charges related to incremental amortization of acquired intangible assets, resulting from periodic reassessments of estimated economic lives. These amounts are excluded as they relate to discrete, non-routine activities rather than the Company’s ongoing operations and therefore are not considered indicative of normal operating costs.

(5)

Legal matters – These adjustments reflect legal fees and other directly attributable costs incurred in connection with responding to and addressing matters arising from the short-seller report issued in January 2025. Such costs may include external legal counsel, advisory services, and other incremental expenses necessary to evaluate and defend against the claims. The Company excludes only costs that are specifically associated with this discrete event and does not exclude ongoing legal expenses related to normal business operations. These costs are excluded as they are non-recurring in nature and not indicative of the Company’s core operating performance, although similar costs could arise in future periods.

TELUS Mental Health Index: Burnout, presenteeism, and youth mental health crisis are negatively impacting Philippine business productivity

Published

on

By

A new nationwide survey reveals 82 percent work unwell at least once a week, nearly half experience burnout, and 77 percent fear career repercussions if they disclose mental health concerns.

Quick Facts:

More than half (55 percent) of workers report that their mental health is negatively affecting work productivityNearly half (48 percent) of Filipino workers routinely end their workday mentally or physically exhausted, with younger workers (under 40) twice as likely as older peers to report constant stressWorkers feeling mentally and/or physically exhausted lose 49.5 productivity days per year, directly affecting workplace productivityEighty-two percent of employees report working while mentally or physically unwell at least once a weekMore than half (54 percent) of workers lack emergency savings to cover basic needsAlmost eight in 10 workers (77 percent) fear career damage if they disclose mental health issues, driving a culture of hidden strain and unaddressed risk

MANILA, Philippines, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today, TELUS Health – a global digital health and workforce wellbeing company – released its first Philippines-focused TELUS Mental Health Index (“the Index”). The report reveals that burnout, exhaustion, and presenteeism have escalated into productivity risks across the Philippines, as stigma makes workforce mental health and wellbeing a critical business imperative for organizations.

The Index is based on an independent, nationally representative survey of 2,000 employed adults across diverse sectors, regions, and demographics of the general Philippine workforce. The research evaluates workforce wellbeing on a 0–100 scale, where higher scores reflect better mental health and lower risk. Scores are categorized across optimal (80–100), strained (50–79), and distressed (0–49) ranges. Overall, the Philippine national benchmark score sits at 61.6, indicating widespread strain among workers in the country.

According to the Index, unaddressed employee strain directly impairs national economic performance, with 55 percent of workers reporting that mental health challenges actively undermine their daily productivity.

Compounded by financial stress where half of the workforce (50 percent) report personal finances as the primary source of personal stress, more than half (54 percent) lack emergency savings to cover basic needs and employees are increasingly turning up to work while unwell. Eighty-two percent report experiencing “presenteeism”, also known as working while functioning below their capacity as a result of being unwell, at least one day per week. Workers reporting feeling mentally or physically exhausted at the end of their workday costs organizations up to 49.5 days in lost productivity.

Workplace stigma is a key barrier to address wellbeing in the workplace, as 77 percent of employees fear disclosing mental health challenges due to potential career repercussions, forcing Filipino workers to suffer in silence while organizations absorb the hidden costs of reduced performance and employee turnover.

“Presenteeism is a costly hidden expense for Philippine businesses today, as 82 percent of employees report working while unwell at least once a week and the impact on operational output should not be ignored,” said Paula Allen, Global Leader of Research and Insights, TELUS Health. “Stigma is a factor in this and it’s damaging in two ways. Firstly, stigma makes people feel the need to hide, which drains their energy. Secondly, it prevents people from seeking necessary help, including confidential health support. This crisis is hitting the younger workforce hardest, with workers under 40 being twice as likely to feel under constant stress and 70 percent more likely to end their day completely exhausted. When young employees push through physical and mental strain without proper support, companies burn out the future leaders driving their organizations.”

This report reveals distinct vulnerabilities across age groups, financial obligations, and regional populations:

Younger workers feel the pressure: Workers under 40 are twice as likely as those over 50 to feel under constant stress and twice as likely to cite mental health as their primary personal stressor. Workers under 40 are twice as likely as workers over 50 to report a lack of work-life balance as a source of work stress and 70 percent more likely than those over 50 to end their workday feeling mentally or physically exhausted.Financial stress is driving mental health strain: Everyday financial obligations have created a persistent state of strain across the workforce, with 41 percent of workers reporting they feel under constant stress. Workers without emergency savings continue to experience a lower mental health score (55.5) than the overall group (61.6). This financial pressure takes a toll on productivity and wellbeing, as workers stressed about money lose 44.6 working days annually.Climate impact on mental health: Environmental factors heavily affect regional gaps as 24 percent of workers report losing income due to climate disaster-related work stoppages, and 14 percent report difficulty working remotely due to power outages or connectivity failures during natural disasters.

The cultural stigma remains as managers are unequipped to support workforce wellbeing

The cultural stigma around disclosing mental health is a major barrier to receiving support. Seventy-seven percent of workers report they would be concerned about their career options if their workplace was aware of a mental health issue. Deep-seated self-stigma is also on the rise, with 63 percent of workers admitting they would feel negatively about themselves if they experienced a mental health issue.

“Workplace culture and cultural stigma are barriers to workforce wellbeing in the Philippines,” said Jamie MacLennan, Region Head, Asia-Pacific, TELUS Health. “More than three-quarters of employees fear their career progression will be impacted by disclosing mental health challenges and this silent suffering is costing companies in lost productivity. People leaders don’t feel equipped to handle wellbeing conversations, so businesses have a responsibility to support managers with proper training to address workplace stigma and ensure accessible, judgment-free support systems for every employee.”

More than half of Filipino workers (52 percent) report that cost is the top barrier to seeking professional mental health support. The second biggest barrier is a lack of guidance on what type of care is best (32 percent), followed by where to find care (29 percent). Closing communication gaps, training leadership with structured facilitated training, and delivering accessible mental health and wellbeing programs are essential steps for employers aiming to reduce organizational risk and support sustainable performance.

This TELUS Mental Health Index includes insights related to anxiety and isolation, highlighting the critical importance of human connection and community support. Checking in with others and giving back to our communities can significantly boost mental wellbeing. As a company rooted in social purpose, TELUS Health is committed to improving health outcomes and fostering community connections. Read the full Philippines TELUS Mental Health Index here.

About the TELUS Mental Health Index research methodology

Data for this report was collected through an online survey of 2,000 people living in the Philippines who are currently employed or were employed within the last six months. This is not an internal survey of TELUS or TELUS Digital team members. Participants are selected to represent the age, gender, industry, and geographic distribution in the Philippines, with survey responses gathered between July 24 and August 5, 2026.

The TELUS Mental Health Index is based on a response scoring system that turns individual responses into point values. Higher point values are associated with better mental health and less mental health risk. Benchmark scores out of 100 represent optimal (80–100), strained (50–79), and distressed (0–49) mental health categories.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary source of stress for workers in the Philippines?

Fifty percent of workers cite personal finances as their primary source of personal stress. This financial pressure directly impacts workforce performance, causing stressed employees to lose an average of 44.6 working days per year in productivity. An additional 10 percent cite broader economic conditions such as the cost of living as their leading stressor.

How many Philippine employees lack emergency savings for basic needs?

More than half (54 percent) of workers lack emergency savings to cover basic needs. Workers without emergency savings continue to experience a lower mental health score (55.5) than the overall group (61.6).

What percentage of Philippine workers suffer from workplace burnout and fatigue?

Forty-eight percent of workers often end their workday feeling mentally and/or physically exhausted. Exhausted employees lose 49.5 productivity days per year—nearly 20 full working days more than non-exhausted peers. Workers under 40 are 70 percent more likely than those over 50 to experience end-of-day exhaustion.

Does mental health stigma affect career advancement in the Philippines workforce?

Seventy-seven percent of workers would be concerned that their career options would be limited if they had a mental health issue that their workplace was aware of. This fear of professional fallout is accompanied by high self-stigma, as 63 percent report they would feel negatively about themselves if they experienced mental health challenges.

What is presenteeism and how much does it cost Philippine employers?

Presenteeism is the practice of working while feeling mentally or physically unwell, reported by 82 percent of Filipino employees at least one day per week. Workers who never work while unwell lose only 17.3 days of productivity per year, whereas employees working while unwell 4 to 5 days a week lose between 64 and 71 working days annually per person. The loss in working days translates to a significant financial loss for businesses, highlighting the commercial imperative to address mental health issues.

What can support Philippine workers to get mental health support?

Employee Assistance Programs provide confidential, professional mental health support at no cost to the worker. The support given is personalized to the individual’s needs. It is also available every hour of every day, which enables immediate intervention for crisis situations. When well communicated in a workplace, the value is significant. Cost is the primary barrier for 52 percent of workers, while 42 percent report that their manager has never communicated the availability of employer health and wellbeing programs. Additionally, 32 percent do not know what type of care is best for them, and 29 percent refrain from seeking support due to fear of social judgment.

How do natural disasters and typhoons impact workplace productivity in the Philippines?

Nearly eight in 10 workers report a direct impact on their work performance due to recent natural disasters. Specifically, 24 percent lost income due to work stoppages, 16 percent were unable to commute, and 14 percent experienced remote work disruptions from power and internet outages. Workers experiencing disaster-related emotional distress lose an average of 54.8 working days per year. The critical incident support offered through and EAP addresses the major upheaval that these situations create, and supports workers with the skills and confidence to manage through difficulty.
