Vericel reported 1Q24 orthopedic sales of $40.2 million, up 17.5% compared to the first quarter of 2023.
Despite the seasonally slower first quarter, the company recorded its second-best MACI quarter ever, behind only the fourth quarter of 2023.
MACI’s expanding surgeon base and growing number of biopsies drove the product’s momentum in the first quarter. Vericel remains on track to launch MACI Arthro in the third quarter of 2024. The launch will eventually expand Vericel’s surgeon base from 5,000 to 7,000 and provide an important growth vector in the coming years.
For 2024, the company expects total sales between $238 million and $242 million, representing growth between 20% and 23%.
