Santa Barbara, CA – November 20, 2014 – Sientra, Inc. (NASDAQ: SIEN), a medical aesthetics company, today announced its financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

Hani Zeini, Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sientra, said, “We are pleased with the results of our third quarter and year to date 2014. The 33.7% net sales growth in the third quarter demonstrates the continued adoption of our differentiated breast implant products by board-certified plastic surgeons. Sientra’s growing commercial organization continues to successfully leverage our proprietary technology and strong clinical outcomes to gain market share. Additionally, in October, we broadened our offering with the introduction of a product line extension to our Smooth Round Breast Implant portfolio. These new products provide higher fill and greater projection options for plastic surgeons and patients.”

 

Mr. Zeini continued, “In November, we completed our IPO, a significant milestone for the Company. We thank all of our talented and dedicated employees that helped make the IPO possible and bring a passion to what they do every day. Our focus is now on deploying this new capital to further expand our commercial organization and execute on our corporate development initiatives.”

 



 

Financial Review

 

Total net sales for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014 were $10.7 million, an increase of 33.7% compared to total net sales of $8.0 million for the same period in 2013. Total net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $32.6 million, an increase of 25.8% compared to total net sales of $25.9 million for the same period in 2013. The increase was primarily driven by sales of the Company’s breast products resulting from increased commercialization activities and greater familiarity with Sientra’s products and customer service offerings by board-certified plastic surgeons.

 

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2014 was $7.8 million, or 73.5% of net sales, compared to gross profit of $6.0 million, or 75.3% of net sales, for the same period in 2013. Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $24.3 million, or 74.6% of net sales, compared to gross profit of $19.6 million, or 75.5% of net sales, for the same period in 2013. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to a manufacturing price increase, incremental warehouse costs, product mix and certain targeted pricing programs.

 

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2014 were $8.6 million, a decrease of $3.7 million or 29.8%, compared to operating expenses of $12.2 million for the same period in 2013.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, operating expenses totaled $27.7 million, a decrease of $7.3 million or 20.9%, compared to operating expenses of $35.0 million for the same period in 2013. The reduction is primarily due to a decrease in expenses related to the Mentor litigation, in which the Company prevailed on all claims, and the Grader Street arbitration, partially offset by an increase in employee-related expenses for the sales organization, an increase in marketing costs, and expenses related to the federal excise tax and accounting costs.

 

Net loss for the third quarter of 2014 was $1.5 million, compared to $6.5 million for the same period in 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, net loss was $2.6 million, compared to $16.1 million for the same period in 2013.

 

The Company had $19.8 million in net cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2014.  In November 2014, Sientra completed its IPO and received aggregate net proceeds of approximately $77.2 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses.

 



 

Operational Highlights

The Company continued to expand its sales organization in the third quarter improving territory coverage.  As of September 30, 2014, the Company had 42 sales representatives and managers, compared to 36 sales representatives and managers at September 30, 2013.

 

In October 2014, the Company introduced an extension to its Smooth Round Breast Implant portfolio. This new line extension provides plastic surgeons and their patients with additional options for higher projection and greater upper pole fullness.

 

The Company raised net proceeds of approximately $77.2 million in its IPO of 5,750,000 shares of its common stock, including the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase an additional 750,000 shares.  On October 29, 2014, Sientra’s shares began trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol, “SIEN.”
