Sientra Reports Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Sientra, Inc., a diversified medical aesthetics company, announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.

  • Continued Strength in Core Breast Products Business Despite COVID-19 Headwinds
  • Demonstrated Results Through “Drive the Recovery” Practice Initiatives
  • High-Margin miraDry bioTip® Consumable Model Implemented

SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Aug. 10, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sientra, Inc. (NASDAQ: SIEN) (“Sientra” or the “Company”), a diversified medical aesthetics company, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.

Jeff Nugent, Sientra’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “While the COVID-19 pandemic has posed unprecedented challenges, we are encouraged by our performance through this stage of the recovery and our competitive position as we exited Q2. We are particularly encouraged by the durability of the demand for our OPUS® breast implants and tissue expanders, as well as the effectiveness of our Drive the Recovery initiatives as we continued to take share from our competitors through new account additions and further penetration of our existing customers. We also successfully transitioned our miraDry business to focus on high-margin, recurring bioTip sales and have seen utilization rates return to pre-COVID-19 levels in key geographic markets, including the United States, as we exited Q2.”

Mr. Nugent concluded, “Overall, these results exceeded our initial expectations and confirmed our confidence in the strength of our business segments. While uncertainty around the future of the recovery persists, we are confident in our ability to emerge from these uncertain times in a position of strength and remain steadfast in building on our core advantages by filling an important real-time need among our customers to help them rebuild their practices stronger than ever.”

2020 Financial Outlook

  • To maintain financial health in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and in conjunction with the Company’s previously announced organization efficiency initiatives, management took a number of steps over the previous quarters to simplify operations and reduce spending while ensuring that resources are prioritized on physician and patient-facing activities for the core Breast Product segment. Based on current market conditions the Company is forecasting 2020 annual operating expenses of approximately $105 million to $110 million, excluding impairment and restructuring charges compared to $140 million in 2019, excluding impairment and restructuring charges.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Sientra has supplemented its US GAAP net income (loss) with a non-GAAP measure of Adjusted EBITDA. Management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides 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. A reconciliation of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is provided in the schedule below.

There are limitations in using this non-GAAP financial measure because it is not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. This non-GAAP financial measure 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 measure provided in the schedule below.
