NEW YORK, May 15, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Establishment Labs Holdings Inc. 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 first quarter ended March 31, 2019.

Business Highlights

  • First quarter 2019 worldwide sales of $20.8 million, representing a year-over-year increase of 40.2%.
  • Continued revenue growth driven by the ongoing strong adoption of Motiva Implants® across addressable markets.
  • Remained on track with U.S. FDA clinical trial.  
  • Anticipates full-year 2019 revenue in the range of $80.0 to $84.0 million. 

"We are pleased to report a record quarter of sales as we continued to build upon the momentum achieved in 2018," said Juan José Chacón-Quirós, Chief Executive Officer of Establishment Labs. "It is clear the science behind our differentiated product portfolio makes a significant difference for the surgeon and patient communities we serve, and consequently for our performance. This quarter's performance reinforces our optimism for the Company's long-term growth trajectory, and we believe we are well positioned to drive continued sales growth throughout 2019."

First Quarter 2019 Financial Results

Revenues increased $6.0 million, or 40.2%, to $20.8 million for the first quarter of 2019, as compared to $14.8 million in the same period in 2018. Increased sales of Motiva Implants® were primarily driven by the continued volume growth across addressable markets, alongside the improved average selling prices driven by the Company's direct market strategy in Brazil and key geographies in Europe.

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2019 was $11.3 million, or 54.2% of revenues, compared to gross profit of $7.9 million, or 53.4% of revenues in the same period in 2018. The increase in gross margin for the first quarter was the result of an increase in production volume and growing direct market revenues with generally higher average selling prices, offset by the amortization related to the fair value of inventory recorded from asset acquisitions from certain distributors during the quarter and in the fourth quarter of 2018. 

Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2019 increased $8.8 million, or 81.9%, to $19.6 million, as compared to $10.8 million in the same period in 2018.

Sales, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2019 increased $7.4 million, or 85.7%, to $16.1 million, as compared to $8.7 million in the same period in 2018, primarily due to an increase in personnel costs as a result of the hiring of additional sales, marketing and administrative employees, as well as expenses related to consultants, marketing activities, freight and insurance.  

Research and development expenses for the first quarter of 2019 increased $1.4 million, or 66.9%, to $3.6 million, as compared to $2.2 million in the same period in 2018, primarily due to an increase in personnel costs and investments related to the Company's pivotal clinical trial in the United States that is required to obtain FDA approval for Motiva Implants®.  

Net loss for the first quarter of 2019 was $10.8 million, as compared to a net loss of $6.5 million in the same period in 2018, a result of the Company's continued growth and investments in operations to support the expected increase in market demand.

The Company's cash balance as of March 31, 2019 was $43.1 million.

Full Year 2019 Financial Outlook

The Company anticipates full-year 2019 revenues in the range of $80.0 to $84.0 million.

You can find many (but not all) of these statements by looking for words such as "approximates," "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates," "intends," "plans," "would," "may" or other similar expressions in this press release, and includes statements related to the expected growth in sales of Motiva Implants®, product development, and the PMA clinical trial currently being conducted to obtain approval of Motiva Implants® in the U.S. Any statements that refer to projections of our future financial or operating performance, anticipated trends in our business, our goals, strategies, focus and plans, and other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including statements expressing general optimism about future operating results, are forward-looking statements. We claim the protection of the safe harbor contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We caution investors that any forward-looking statements presented in this report, or that we may make orally or in writing from time to time, are expressions of our beliefs and expectations based on currently available information at the time such statements are made. Such statements are based on assumptions, and the actual outcome will be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties and factors that are beyond our control. Although we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, they are not guarantees of future performance, and some will inevitably prove to be incorrect. As a result, our actual future results may differ from our expectations, and those differences may be material. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include, among others, those risks and uncertainties discussed in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K filed on March 20, 2019, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and other filings made by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The risks included in those documents are not exhaustive, and additional factors could adversely affect our business and financial performance. We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all such risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. We are not undertaking any obligation to update any forward-looking statements. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on past forward-looking statements, which are based on known results and trends at the time they are made, to anticipate future results or trends.
