ENGLEWOOD, CO – August 8, 2019 – Viveve Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: VIVE), a medical technology company focused on women’s intimate health, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019. The company will provide a corporate update on its scheduled conference call at 4:30 pm ET today.

 

“In the second quarter of 2019 Viveve underwent a major commercial transformation. Most importantly, we executed the transition from a capital sales model to a recurring revenue model in the U.S. This change was initiated in June and quickly showed positive traction, including a significant increase in physician adoption rates and the potential for improved profitability based on lower selling costs. June set a company record for monthly productivity rates per rep and this momentum has continued into July and August,” said Scott Durbin, chief executive officer of Viveve.

 

U.S. Recurring Revenue Model

 

The shift to a recurring revenue model, to support sales of Viveve’s cryogen-cooled monopolar radiofrequency (CMRF) technology platform and related consumables in the U.S., was undertaken to drive faster adoption by healthcare providers. The new pricing model is designed to lower hurdles to adoption and reduce the selling time required for each unit placed.

 

Introduction of the monthly rental revenue model will result in reduced revenue on a per-unit basis in the near-term, which is projected to be offset by higher unit placements and improved revenue performance as early as 2020. The program offers the potential for improved profitability based on multiple factors including greater long-term revenue per customer, lower selling costs per unit placed, improved revenue from consumable sales, and more predictable quarterly and annual sales growth.

 

To support this new model, Viveve also introduced an expanded suite of customer services, including: a dedicated customer care team, a comprehensive new training program called Viveve University, and campaigns to build awareness of prevalent women’s intimate health conditions.

 

Sale of Viveve products outside of the U.S. will continue to be supported by the company’s current distributors without significant change to the international business model.

 

Recent Business Highlights

 

 

Received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) and CE mark clearances for its next generation Viveve 2.0 CMRF system and consumable treatment tips. The significant reduction in manufacturing costs for both the 2.0 system and treatment tips is projected to have a positive impact on overall gross margins beginning in late 2019; and,

 

 

Expanded Viveve’s commercial footprint in the Middle East through a new distribution partnership with Dansys Group, LLC and their large established customer base of gynecology practices and hospitals.

 

 

 

 

Q2 2019 Financial Results

 

Revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 totaled $1.1 million compared to revenue of $5.5 million for the same period in 2018. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to the lower sales volumes and the transition of the company’s commercial model to a rental program. Sales in the second quarter of 2019 included four Viveve Systems and approximately 2,200 disposable treatment tips sold globally. Under the company’s new recurring revenue model, which was launched in the U. S. in June 2019, the company placed 24 Viveve Systems. Rental revenue on these leases will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. No rental revenue was recognized in the second quarter 2019. Rental revenue will start to be recognized in July 2019 upon system installation and training. As of June 30, 2019, the company had a global installed base of 774 Viveve Systems.

 

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2019 was $111,000, or 11% of revenue, compared to gross profit of $2.8 million, or 51% of revenue, for the same period in 2018.

 

Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2019 were $8.4 million, down from $13.1 million for the same period in 2018, mainly as a result of cost reduction efforts associated with the strategic organizational realignment implemented in January 2019.

 

Net loss for the second quarter of 2019 was $9.7 million, or ($0.21) per share, compared to a net loss of $11.5 million, or ($0.37) per share, for the same period in 2018.

 

Cash and cash equivalents were $9.5 million as of June 30, 2019, compared to $17.8 million as of March 31, 2019.
