Ron Menezes, Sientra's President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Our first quarter was marked by outstanding execution of our 2021 strategic priorities by the Sientra team. Importantly, we saw our U.S. breast business experience notable gains in market share and new accounts, while accelerating our efforts to a be a top two implant and expander company in two years. Sales in our reconstruction market saw renewed traction as access to more hospitals opened and states began easing pandemic restrictions. We anticipate further upside in this market with AlloX2, our leading tissue expander, which will now be broadly available to all major hospitals performing breast reconstruction surgery. In addition, we were delighted to announce the expected sale of our miraDry business to 1315 Capital Partners, enabling us to concentrate on plastic surgery and on our rapidly growing Breast Products business."

First Quarter 2020 Financial Review
Total net sales for the first quarter 2021 were $23.2 million, an increase of 37% compared to total net sales of $16.9 million for the same period in 2020.

Net sales for the Breast Products segment totaled $18.3 million in the first quarter 2021, a 47% increase compared to $12.5 million for the same period in 2020.

Net sales for the miraDry segment totaled $4.9 million in the first quarter 2021, a 10% increase compared to $4.5 million for the same period in 2020.

Gross profit for the first quarter 2021 was $12.3 million, or 52.9% of sales, compared to gross profit of $10.1 million, or 59.9% of sales, for the same period in 2020. Gross margins decreased mainly as a result of lower overhead absorption in the miraDry segment.

Operating expenses for the first quarter 2021 were $22.1 million, a decrease of 40% compared to $37.1 million of operating expenses for the same period in 2020. Excluding a $6.4 million non-cash impairment of certain intangibles related to miraDry and restructuring charges totaling $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2020, operating expenses in the first quarter of 2021 decreased $6.9 million, or 24%, compared to the same period in 2020.

Net loss for the first quarter 2021 was $54.7 million, or $1.01 per share, compared to a net loss of $28.6 million, or $0.57 per share, for the same period in 2020. Net loss was driven primarily by a $42.7 million non-cash charge from the change in fair value of the derivative liability associated with the Company's convertible note. On a non-GAAP basis, net loss per share for the first quarter of 2021 was $5.3 million, or $0.10 per share, compared to $15.5 million, or $0.31 per share for the same period in 2020.

Net cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2021 were $80.4 million, compared to $55.0 million as of December 31, 2020 and includes the net proceeds from the closing of the Company's public offering of common stock on February 11, 2021 of approximately $39.2 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Sientra has supplemented its US GAAP net income (loss) with a non-GAAP measure of Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP earnings per share. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide 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) and non-GAAP loss per share, the most directly comparable GAAP measures, 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.
