NEW YORK, Nov. 12, 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 third quarter ended September 30, 2019.

Business Highlights

  • Reported third quarter 2019 worldwide sales of $22.9 million, an increase of 40% year-over-year, and the fifth consecutive quarter of record performance.
  • Continued to advance FDA clinical trial, with enrollment progressing in the reconstruction cohorts.
  • Received notice of allowance for a key U.S. patent application covering the company's implant surface technology.
  • Announced 510(k) submission for its SmoothSilk® anatomical tissue expander.
  • Raised full-year 2019 revenue guidance to a range of $86.0 to $87.0 million, from a prior guidance range of $84.0 to $86.0 million, reflecting minimum growth of 40% over full-year 2018.
  • Operating cash burn is expected to decline in 2020 as the business achieves scale.

"During the third quarter, we sustained our sales momentum globally, generating 40% revenue growth over the prior year and delivering our fifth consecutive quarter of record revenue performance," said Juan José Chacón-Quirós, Chief Executive Officer of Establishment Labs. "Our strong growth in the third quarter was driven by increased awareness of both the safety and aesthetic differentiation of Motiva Implants versus others on the market. This is reflected not only by our science and patient data, but also by the increasing number of surgeons who are providing independent verification, in publications and industry conferences, of the merits of our technology platform.

"Women's health continues to be at the forefront of everything we do, and in parallel with our commercial initiatives, such as the establishment of a highly effective direct sales force in Europe and Brazil, we continue to invest in research and development to both expand our product offerings while reinforcing our position as a leading safety innovator in the field," concluded Mr. Chacón-Quirós. 

Third Quarter 2019 Financial Results

Revenues increased $6.6 million, or 40%, to $22.9 million for the third quarter of 2019, as compared to $16.3 million in the same period in 2018. The increase was primarily driven by double digit growth in the company's direct markets, along with strong performance in distributor markets.

Gross profit for the third quarter was $14.2 million, or 62.3% of revenues, which compares favorably to 60.0% revenues in the second quarter of 2019 and is similar to the third quarter of 2018. The sequential increase in gross margin percentage was driven primarily by increased sales volumes. The company's gross profit percentage was negatively impacted by 2.1% during the quarter due to amortization related to the fair value of inventory recorded from its asset acquisitions from distributors in recent quarters.  As the company sells through the remaining acquired inventory, the impact of this amortization dissipates.

Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2019 were $23.0 million, an increase of 42.4% compared to $16.2 million in the third quarter of 2018. This increase was driven by continued investment across the company to support current and future growth, including a comprehensive upgrade of the company's enterprise resource planning system with SAP.

SG&A expenses increased $6.2 million, or 48.1%, to $19.2 million. The increase in SG&A was primarily due to (1) a $3.2 million dollar increase in personnel and related costs as a result of hiring additional sales, marketing and administrative employees, (2) a $1.2 million dollar increase in legal and consulting costs, (3) a $0.7 million dollar increase in sales commissions, and (4) a $0.7 million dollar increase in marketing expenses. 

R&D expenses increased approximately 19% to $3.8 million, from $3.2 million in the third quarter of 2018. The increase in R&D expenses was primarily due to costs related to the company's FDA clinical study in the United States. 

Net loss for the third quarter of 2019 was $12.8 million dollars, as compared to net income of $1.3 million dollars in the same period in 2018, due to the required growth in operations to support expected increases in market demand. As a reminder, the third quarter net income in 2018 was affected by a non-cash gain on the fair value of debt related derivatives of $11.4 million dollars.

The Company's cash balance as of September 30, 2019 was $42.6 million.

Updated Full Year 2019 Financial Outlook

Reflecting strong revenue growth to date, the company is increasing its full year 2019 revenue guidance to a range of $86.0 to $87.0 million from the previous range of $84.0 million to $86.0 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 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.

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.
