Establishment Labs Reports Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results
SANTA BARBARA, Calif., November 9, 2020 -- 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 third quarter ended September 30, 2020.
Third Quarter Highlights and Outlook
•Worldwide sales of $22.8 million, in line with preannounced range
•Full year 2020 revenue expected to be $80 to $82 million
•Reduced operating expenses by 23% compared to the third quarter of 2019
•Strong cash balance of $81.4 million at September 30
•Encouraging feedback from early patient experience with Motiva Flora tissue expander
•CE mark for Motiva Ergonomix2 expected in fourth quarter
•Motiva Mia patient series in Thailand IRB approved; additional series in Latin America planned to begin by year-end
As we guided to in our October pre-announcement, total revenue in the third quarter was $22.8 million, which is comparable to the $22.9 million reported in the third quarter of 2019, and more than double the sales reported for the second quarter this year,” said Juan José Chacón-Quirós, Chief Executive Officer. “With a strong recovery from the pandemic well underway, we are comfortable issuing full year 2020 revenue guidance of $80 million to $82 million.
“In addition to strong top line sales this quarter, our focus on lowering expenses and driving efficiencies led to a continued decrease in our operating cash burn,” Mr. Chacón-Quirós continued. “As we look to 2021, we have truly differentiated technologies coming that will expand our comprehensive portfolio. We expect continued market share gains, both from expanding our presence in breast reconstruction, and developing new product categories like minimally invasive augmentation. These will help support our growth next year and for many years to come while we continue to plan our entry into the U.S. and China.”
Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results
Total revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 was $22.8 million compared to $22.9 million for the same period in 2019. Direct sales comprised approximately 40% of total sales while distributor sales made up the balance.
Gross profit for the third quarter was $15.1 million, or 66.6% of revenue, compared to $14.2 million, or 62.3% 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 third quarter were $17.7 million, a decrease of $5.3 million or 22.9%, compared to $23.0 million in the third quarter of 2019.
SG&A expenses for the third quarter declined $4.2 million, or 21.9%, to $15.0 million compared to $19.2 million in the third quarter of 2019. The majority of this decrease resulted from the Company’s commitment to preserve cash by controlling expenses, including lower consulting fees, lower sales and marketing expenses, and reductions in other discretionary expense categories.
R&D expenses decreased $1.1 million to $2.7 million in the third quarter compared to $3.8 million for the same quarter a year ago. Most of the reduction was due to the timing of clinical trial expenses and the reprioritization of certain projects. Strengthening its product portfolio to drive future growth remains a top priority, and the Company will continue to invest in research and development with discipline and focus.
Net loss from operations for the third quarter was $2.6 million compared to a net loss of $8.8 million in the year ago period.
The Company’s cash balance at September 30, 2020 was $81.4 million. Cash used in operations was $3.0 million in the third quarter compared to $6.1 million for the second quarter of 2020, and $10.9 million for the third quarter of 2019.
Other Developments
The Company is continuing to collect early patient experience with its Motiva Flora® tissue expander in advance of a broad commercial launch in Europe early next year. Early feedback has been very encouraging, with surgeons commenting on its ease of use, and patients reporting overall satisfaction and comfort. The Company believes the market will be receptive to the advancements offered by Flora including a proprietary integrated RFID port and its SmoothSilk® bioengineered surface. Although its Motiva implants are already used in breast reconstruction procedures in Europe, the ability to pair them with one of the most advanced tissue expanders available means Establishment Labs will be able to fully access this important market segment.
The Company continues to expect receipt of a CE mark in Europe for its Motiva Ergonomix2® platform in the fourth quarter of 2020. Ergonomix2 builds upon its successful Ergonomix implant, which has become the Company’s best-selling and most premium offering in many markets including Europe and Asia Pacific. The features of this innovative new product, including enhanced mechanical properties, advanced chemistry and improved ergonomics, should result in even greater patient satisfaction.
The Company’s Motiva Mia® minimally invasive breast augmentation program continues to make good progress and is being expanded to include an IRB approved patient series in Thailand. Commencement of an additional patient series in Latin America is planned for the end of the year. Establishment Labs is excited by the opportunity to expand the addressable market for breast aesthetics by creating a new product category with its unique, proprietary technology. The Company continues to believe there are a large number of women who would be interested in a less invasive breast procedure, which if successful, would contribute meaningfully to its growth and further differentiate it in the market.
Submission timelines to gain regulatory clearance and begin selling Motiva Implants® in the U.S. and Chinese markets remain on track. These two geographies would significantly expand the addressable market for the company’s Motiva® product portfolio.
Outlook
Mr. Chacón-Quirós concluded, “I would like to express my gratitude to our plastic surgeons and business partners for their ongoing commitment to Establishment Labs. I also want to acknowledge and thank the employees of Establishment Labs for their tremendous effort and resilience, which has enabled us to successfully navigate a challenging year while meeting our operating and financial commitments. Establishment Labs has a very bright future, and we are excited about our ability to grow and create value for our shareholders.”
