NEW YORK, Aug. 06, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Establishment Labs Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ESTA), a medical technology company focused on women’s health, initially in the breast aesthetics and reconstruction market, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.

Second Quarter Highlights and Outlook

  • Worldwide sales of $10.5 million; steady monthly increases recorded during the quarter
  • Q3 2020 revenue expected to be $18 to $21 million
  • Reduced operating expenses by 27% compared to Q1 2020
  • Strong cash balance of $86.4 million at June 30
  • Follow-up phase for Motiva U.S. IDE trial aesthetic cohorts continuing; enrollment completed in revision reconstruction sub-cohort

  • Motiva Mia clinical cases recently resumed in Asia; application to initiate patient series in Thailand submitted
  • Long-term fundamentals of business remain strong

“As expected, this was a challenging quarter as our global business was impacted by COVID-19. Encouragingly, we saw improvement throughout the quarter as countries began to reopen and elective procedures resumed in various regions around the world,” said Juan José Chacón-Quirós, Chief Executive Officer of Establishment Labs. “Our business is recovering with the strength and resilience that we had hoped for, and we estimate that third quarter revenue this year will be between $18 and $21 million.

“We have taken this time to address budgets and headcount in a very meaningful way and the result is that we are doing more with less. At the same time, we are investing in our future by continuing to develop innovative, market expanding products, and enhancing our digital platforms to broaden the reach of the Motiva brand and forge stronger and more cost-effective connections with our plastic surgeon customers and their patients. These actions are making Establishment Labs an even stronger company that will come out of this pandemic well positioned for continued growth and success,” Mr. Chacón-Quirós continued.

Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results
Total revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 were $10.5 million compared to $21.7 million for the same period in 2019. Direct sales comprised nearly two-thirds of the sales this quarter with distributor sales making up the balance.

Gross profit for the second quarter was $7.2 million, or 69.1% of revenue, compared to $13.0 million, or 60.0% of revenue, for the same period in 2019. The year over year increase was due to the benefit of geographic mix, greater operating efficiencies, and enhanced manufacturing planning capabilities.

Total operating expenses for the second quarter this year were $16.8 million, a decrease of $5.6 million or 24.8%, compared to $22.4 million in the second quarter of 2019. Compared to the first quarter of 2020, operating expenses in the second quarter were 27% lower.

SG&A expenses this quarter declined $4.0 million, or 21.5%, to $14.4 million compared to $18.4 million in the second quarter of 2019. Over half of the decrease resulted from the Company’s actions to control expenses including a decrease in the number of in-person marketing events, lowered compensation expense through headcount reductions and reduced or eliminated other discretionary expenses.

R&D expenses decreased $1.6 million to $2.4 million in the second quarter compared to $4.0 million for the same quarter a year ago. While the Company continues to invest in research and development to strengthen its product portfolio and drive future growth, it has narrowed the scope of its efforts. In addition, a portion of the decline was due to the timing of clinical trial expenses and a COVID-19 related reduction in U.S. IDE costs.

Net loss from operations for the second quarter was $9.6 million compared to a net loss of $9.4 million in the year ago period.

The Company’s cash balance at June 30, 2020 was $86.4 million. Cash used in operations was $6.1 million in the second quarter compared to $6.8 million for the first quarter of 2020, and $7.1 million for the second quarter of 2019.

Other Developments
This month marks the halfway point in the two-year endpoint of the protocol for the aesthetic cohorts in the Company’s Motiva U.S. IDE trial, and patient follow-ups are continuing as part of the monitoring phase. While COVID-19 has impacted the pace of enrollment in the reconstruction cohorts, the Company has continued to activate new trial sites and during the quarter successfully completed enrollment in the revision reconstruction sub-cohort.

The Company is making progress with its Motiva regulatory submission in China and recently passed the latest round of product testing. The regulatory backlog caused by COVID-19 impacted the approval timeline and the Company now expects to receive approval during the first half of 2022. The Company remains committed introducing its Motiva product line to plastic surgeons and patients in China, one of the largest and most dynamic markets in the world for breast aesthetics.

Clinical cases have recently resumed in Asia in the Company’s Motiva Mia minimally invasive breast augmentation procedure, and it expects a Motiva Mia patient series to be initiated in Thailand next month. The introduction of a less invasive augmentation procedure that would provide a safety profile similar to the Company’s current Motiva Implants, has the potential to grow the total addressable market for breast aesthetics and contribute meaningfully to the Company’s longer-term growth strategy.

Outlook
Mr. Chacón-Quirós concluded, “Plastic surgeons all over the world are reporting strong interest in aesthetic procedures from new patients, which reinforces our confidence in the long-term fundamentals of our business. Our innovation and commitment to women’s health resonate very strongly with plastic surgeons and their patients, which is why we have been able to gain market share over the years, and why we believe we can continue to do so even during these times. I’m confident that Establishment Labs is in a solid financial position, that we have a strong and adaptable team, and that our best days are still ahead.”
