Sientra Reports Third Quarter 2017 Financial Results

Completed FDA Facility Inspection

Completed Acquisition of Miramar Labs and Making Significant Progress with Integration

SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Nov. 07, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sientra, Inc. (NASDAQ:SIEN) (“Sientra” or the “Company”), a medical aesthetics company, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017.

Jeffrey M. Nugent, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Sientra, said, “We continue to advance on each of our strategic initiatives, highlighted by the completion of the FDA inspection of our U.S. manufacturing facility in late October.  We are finalizing all remaining documentation to submit to the FDA that would enable us to still get approval by the end of this year per statutory review windows. However, given the unanticipated delay in the commencement of the site inspection, we could see the approval slip into the first quarter of 2018.  Based on our confidence of receiving approval, we also began manufacturing commercial ready finished goods at our facility in early October in anticipation of FDA approval and we will continue building inventory of our highest demand products in parallel with the FDA review process.”

Mr. Nugent continued, “During the quarter, in addition to continued growth in our Breast Products segment, we also made good progress with the integration, re-positioning, and optimization of the miraDry® business.  This includes initiating the process of enhancing the miraDry treatment protocol to make it faster and easier for a broader group of physicians and patients, along with completing the build out of our sales leadership team, which will allow us to continue expanding both our capital and consumable sales force.  In all, we remain well positioned to rapidly grow our miraDry business as we move into 2018 and re-launch our entire breast implant line.”

Third Quarter 2017 Financial Review

Beginning this quarter, the Company will be reporting results in two segments, Breast Products and miraDry. The Breast Products segment will include the Company’s breast implant portfolio, tissue expander portfolio, and scar management products. The miraDry segment will include the miraDry business, the acquisition of which was completed on July 25, 2017.  The Company is now consolidating financials from the miraDry segment.

Total net sales for the third quarter 2017 were $9.8 million, compared to total net sales of $6.5 million for the same period in 2016.  On a Pro Forma basis, assuming the Miramar Labs acquisition was completed on July 1, 2017, total net sales were $10.7 million for the third quarter 2017.

Net sales for the Breast Products segment totaled $7.7 million in the third quarter 2017, a 17% increase compared to $6.5 million for third quarter 2016, driven by the Company’s acquisition of the Specialty Surgical Products tissue expander portfolio, completed in the fourth quarter of 2016.  Net sales for the miraDry segment in the third quarter of 2017 totaled $2.2 million under GAAP, and $3.0 million on a Pro Forma basis assuming the Miramar Labs acquisition was completed on July 1, 2017.

Gross profit for the third quarter 2017 was $6.3 million, or 65% of sales, compared to gross profit of $4.7 million, or 72% of sales, for the same period in 2016. The decrease was primarily due to the inclusion of miraDry, which carries a lower margin than Breast Products.

Operating expenses for the third quarter 2017 were $20.2 million, compared to operating expenses of $14.5 million for the same period in 2016.  Operating expenses in the third quarter 2017 were driven higher by Miramar related acquisition costs as well as the inclusion of miraDry operating expenses subsequent to the acquisition.  

Net loss for the third quarter 2017 was $14.4 million, compared to $10.0 million for the same period in 2016.

On a non-GAAP basis, the Company reported adjusted EBITDA loss of $(11.0) million for the third quarter 2017, compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $(8.5) million for the third quarter 2016. 

Net cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2017 were $37.6 million compared to $55.5 million at the end of the second quarter 2017.  During the quarter, the Company paid a one-time legal settlement payment of $9 million related to the previously announced settlement with its former breast implant contract manufacturer.

Use of Pro Forma & Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Sientra has supplemented its US GAAP net sales and net income (loss) with a Pro Forma net sales and non-GAAP measure of Adjusted EBITDA. Management believes that these Pro Forma and non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to management and investors regarding the performance of the Company, facilitates a more meaningful comparison of results for current periods with previous operating results, and assists management in analyzing future trends, making strategic and business decisions and establishing internal budgets and forecasts. Tables showing Pro Forma net sales and a reconciliation of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, are provided in the schedules below.

There are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.  These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial measures. Investors and potential investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures only in conjunction with Sientra’s financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures provided in the schedules below.

Forward Looking Statements
This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, based on management’s current assumptions and expectations of future events and trends, which affect or may affect the Company’s business, strategy, operations or financial performance, and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements due to numerous risks and uncertainties.  Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the timing of FDA approval of the Company’s new manufacturing facility, the expected benefits of the Miramar acquisition, the Company’s ability to become a world class, diversified aesthetics organization, and the timing of the re-launch of the Company’s breast implants.
