Exhibit 99.1

TACTILE SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY, INC. REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2017 FINANCIAL RESULTS; UPDATES 2017 OUTLOOK

Q2 Revenue Increase of 33% Year-over-Year; Revenue Up 38% Year-to-Date

MINNEAPOLIS, MN, August 7, 2017 – Tactile Systems Technology, Inc. (“Tactile Medical”) (Nasdaq: TCMD), a medical technology company focused on developing medical devices for the treatment of chronic diseases at home, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017.  

Second Quarter 2017 Summary

 

“We had outstanding revenue growth in the second quarter and first half of 2017, driven by the combination of strong operational execution and exceptional performance in sales of our Flexitouch system,” said Gerald R. Mattys, Chief Executive Officer. “Our growth of 38% over the first half of 2017 was a result of the significant investments we have made in recent years to grow our salesforce and reimbursement teams, as well as our strategic focus on enhanced account targeting, expanded commercial payer coverage, and efforts to broaden awareness of lymphedema and chronic venous insufficiency and their treatment options.”

Mr. Mattys continued: “In the second quarter we also demonstrated our commitment to maintaining market leadership in the development of unique at-home therapies for lymphedema by launching our Flexitouch system for the treatment of head and neck lymphedema and by obtaining FDA 510(k) clearance for our next-generation Flexitouch system, the Flexitouch Plus. We remain confident in our outlook for 2017, as evidenced by our updated revenue guidance, and are reaffirming our full year expectations of generating both GAAP net income profitability and high single-digit adjusted EBITDA margins in 2017.”

Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results

Revenue for the second quarter of 2017 increased $6.5 million, or 33%, to $26.3 million, compared to $19.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. The increase in revenue was attributable to an increase of $7.3

million, or 43%, in sales of the Flexitouch system, which was partially offset by a decrease of approximately $0.8 million, or 28%, in sales of the Entre and Actitouch systems. The increase in Flexitouch system sales was largely driven by expansion of the Company’s sales force, increased physician and patient awareness of the treatment options for lymphedema, and increased contractual coverage with national and regional insurance payers.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2017 increased $4.8 million, or 33%, to $19.2 million, compared to $14.4 million for the second quarter of 2016. Gross margin was 73.2% of sales in the second quarter of 2017, compared to 73.0% of sales in the second quarter of 2016.

Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2017 increased $5.9 million, or 47%, to $18.5 million, compared to $12.6 million for the second quarter of 2016. The increase in operating expenses in the second quarter was primarily driven by an increase of $3.0 million, or 40% year-over-year, in sales and marketing expenses due to continued investment in field sales team expansion and an increase of $2.4 million, or 61% year-over-year, in reimbursement, general and administrative expenses primarily associated with increased personnel costs, incremental stock-based compensation expense, and public company costs that were not included in operating expenses in the second quarter of 2016.

Operating income for the second quarter of 2017 decreased approximately $1.1 million, or 59%, to $0.7 million, compared to $1.8 million for the second quarter of 2016.  

Income tax benefit for the second quarter of 2017 was $3.0 million, compared to income tax expense of $0.8 million for the second quarter of 2016. The income tax benefit in the current period quarter resulted from significant tax benefits driven by tax-deductible expense associated with equity-based compensation activity during the quarter.

Net income for the second quarter of 2017 increased $2.8 million, or 283%, to $3.8 million, compared to $1.0 million for the second quarter of 2016. Net income attributable to common stockholders in the second quarter of 2017 was $3.8 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, compared to $0.2 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2016. Net income attributable to common stockholders in the second quarter of 2016 reflected the accrual of convertible preferred stock dividends of $0.5 million and a $0.3 million allocation of undistributed earnings to preferred stockholders, neither of which impacted the second quarter of 2017. Weighted average shares used to compute diluted net income per share were 18.8 million and 4.8 million for the second quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively. 

Adjusted EBITDA increased approximately $0.2 million, or 9%, to $2.3 million, compared to $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2016.

Six-Months 2017 Financial Results:

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2017 increased $12.7 million, or 38%, to $46.1 million, compared to $33.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in revenue was driven by an increase of approximately $13.1 million, or 46%, year-over-year, in sales of the Flexitouch system, which was partially offset by a decrease of approximately $0.5 million, or 9%, year-over-year, in sales of the Entre and Actitouch systems, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 increased $2.3 million, to $2.3 million, compared to net income of approximately $8,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Net income attributable to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $2.3 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $1.0 million, or $(0.30) per diluted share, in the six months ended June 30, 2016. Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2016 included the accrual of convertible preferred stock dividends of $1.0 million, which did not occur in the six months ended June 30, 2017. Weighted average shares used to compute diluted net income (loss) per share were 18.7 million and 3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Cash Position

At June 30, 2017, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $39.1 million, compared to $41.7 million at December 31, 2016. The Company had no debt outstanding at June 30, 2017.

Updated 2017 Financial Outlook

For 2017, the Company now expects revenue in the range of $105 million to $107 million, representing growth of 24% to 27% year-over-year, compared to revenue of $84.5 million in 2016. This compares to the Company’s prior revenue guidance range of $103 million to $105 million.

Legal Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This release contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by the use of words like “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend,” or “project” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. The reader is cautioned not to put undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, as these statements are subject to numerous factors and uncertainties outside of the Company’s control that can make such statements untrue, including, but not limited to, the adequacy of the Company’s liquidity to pursue its complete business objectives; the Company’s ability to obtain reimbursement from third party payers for its products; loss or retirement of key executives; adverse economic conditions or intense competition; loss of a key supplier; entry of new competitors and products; adverse federal, state and local government regulation; technological obsolescence of the Company’s products; technical problems with the Company’s research and products; the Company’s ability to expand its business through strategic acquisitions; the Company’s ability to integrate acquisitions and related businesses; price increases for supplies and components; or the inability to carry out research, development and commercialization plans.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA, which differs from financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA in this release represents net income less interest income, net, and income tax expense, plus income tax benefit, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because the Company believes it is a useful indicator of its operating performance. Management uses the measure principally as a measure of the Company’s operating performance and for planning purposes, including the preparation of the Company’s annual operating budget and financial projections. The Company believes this measure is useful to investors as supplemental information because it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in its industry. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to its management and investors as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as an alternative to, or superior to, net income or loss as a measure of financial performance or cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, and it should not be construed to imply that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. In addition, the measure is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as it does not reflect certain cash requirements such as tax payments, debt service requirements, capital expenditures and certain other cash costs that may recur in the future. Adjusted EBITDA contains certain other limitations, including the failure to reflect our cash expenditures, cash requirements for working capital needs and cash costs to replace assets being depreciated and amortized. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. The Company’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed to imply that its future results will be unaffected by any such adjustments. Management compensates for these limitations by primarily relying on the Company’s GAAP results in addition to using Adjusted EBITDA on a supplemental basis. The Company’s definition of this measure is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to different methods of calculation.

The following table contains a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income.
