Viveve® Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2015 Financial Results

 

 

SUNNYVALE, California —March 24, 2016 -- Viveve Medical, Inc. ("Viveve") (OTCQB: VIVMF), a medical technology company focused on women's health, today reported financial results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2015.

 

“2015 was a transformative year for Viveve as we aggressively advanced our commercial strategy around the world,” said Patricia Scheller, Viveve’s chief executive officer. “Our focus will continue to be driving commercialization through the attainment of necessary regulatory clearances, generating differentiating clinical data and increasing awareness of vaginal laxity, a condition that affects millions of women worldwide. Currently, we believe that the Viveve System provides the only safe and effective non-surgical option to successfully address vaginal laxity."

 

2015 Business Highlights

 

 

Announced a positive interim analysis from the VIVEVE I clinical study

 

 

Launched distribution coverage in 46 countries and began commercial sales in Q3 2015

 

 

Achieved regulatory approval in 20 of the 46 countries, including Japan, under the physician import license pathway

 

 

Successfully raised $18 million in equity capital to support our clinical, regulatory and global commercialization efforts

 

 

Expanded our commercialization team with the hiring of experienced industry executives

 

 

Research analyst coverage initiated by three firms

 

Q4 Financial Results

 

“We now have a total commercial installed base of 42 Viveve Systems, 33 of which were sold during the last two quarters of 2015. We anticipate a significant increase in this installed base in 2016 as we continue our global commercial efforts and as we obtain additional regulatory clearances,” said Scott Durbin, Viveve’s chief financial officer.

 

Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2015 totaled $752,000 from the sale of 21 Viveve Systems and 216 treatment tips, compared to revenue of $26,000 for the same period in 2014, an increase of $726,000.

 

Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $287,000, or 38% of revenue, compared to gross profit of $16,000, or 62% of revenue, for the same period in 2014. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to sales of 21 Viveve Systems to our new distributors in 2015. Gross margin decreased primarily due to the mix of capital versus disposable sales.

 

Total operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2015 increased 130% to $3,851,000 from $1,676,000 in the same period in 2014, primarily as a result of increased efforts to support commercialization of our product in existing and new markets, research and development efforts and strategies to protect our intellectual property, as well as for working capital and other general corporate purposes. Spending on research and development during the fourth quarter of 2015 increased due to costs associated with our VIVEVE I clinical trial. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2015 increased primarily due to increased sales and marketing efforts to build brand and market awareness.

 

 
 

 

 

Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $3,677,000, or a loss of $0.07 per share, compared with a net loss of $1,742,000, or a loss of $0.10 per share, for the same period in 2014.

 

Cash and cash equivalents were $7,360,000 as of December 31, 2015, an increase of $6,465,000 from $895,000 as of December 31, 2014.

 

2016 Business Outlook

 

"Based on the increased momentum of our commercial efforts around the globe, we believe we are well positioned to build on our 2015 success, while achieving new levels of growth in 2016," Ms. Scheller stated, adding, "To date we have exceeded our commercial expectations and customer feedback has been tremendously positive.  In January, we announced a 231 minimum system distribution agreement with Dynamic Medical Technologies for two Southeast Asia countries. This type of distribution agreement underscores the early demand we are seeing from distributors, physicians and patients and reinforces the opportunity for rapid adoption of the Viveve System throughout the year. In addition, we are targeting several additional key regulatory approvals this year, including Brazil, one of the largest markets for aesthetic medical procedures in the world.”
