Establishment Labs Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: ESTA), a global medical technology company dedicated to improving women’s health and wellness, principally in breast aesthetics and reconstruction, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Second Quarter Highlights and Outlook

• Strong momentum with second quarter worldwide sales of $41.2 million, an increase of 28.7% year-over-year and a new quarterly record; excluding the impact of foreign currency changes, revenue growth in the second quarter would have been 33.3%.
• Gross profit for the second quarter was 66.7% of revenue, compared to 67.1% of revenue for the same period in 2021.
• Second quarter operating expenses of $37.9 million, an increase of 45.0% compared to the second quarter of 2021.
• Cash balance of $91.3 million as of June 30, 2022, reflecting initial $150 million tranche of new $225 million credit facility entered into on April 26, 2022.
• Motiva Flora^® tissue expander launch ongoing.
• Motiva JOY™ rollout expanding globally.
• Mía^® development and commercialization programs progressing.
• Modular PMA submission for U.S. FDA approval progressing with the third module submitted to the FDA last week; completed enrollment in all cohorts of U.S. IDE trial.

“The strong momentum in our business continued in the second quarter of 2022,” said Juan José Chacón-Quirós, Chief Executive Officer. “Second quarter revenue of $41.2 million was up 28.7% from the second quarter of 2021; excluding the impact of the stronger U.S. dollar, which reduced reported revenue by approximately $1.5 million, growth in the second quarter would have been 33.3%. We are maintaining our 2022 revenue guidance of $155 million to $165 million, which is reported annual growth of 22% to 30%. The strength of our technology and the underlying trends in our business are allowing us to maintain this outlook despite foreign currency changes.”

“The second quarter saw a number of notable events,” Mr. Chacón-Quirós continued. “In April, data from our U.S. IDE trial was presented at The Aesthetic Meeting by Dr. Caroline Glicksman. This was followed by our new $225 million credit facility, providing us with sufficient capital under current forecasts to fund our business to cash flow profitability. Last week we submitted the third module of our modular PMA to the FDA, and we expect to submit the fourth and final module before the end of the year.”

“We are transforming our markets through our commitment to innovation in women's health,” Mr. Chacón-Quirós concluded. “We are creating new categories for growth and more importantly, creating new options for women. We believe we are on track to become the leading global company in breast aesthetics and reconstruction and to grow these markets through clinically superior and patient-centric offerings.”

Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Total revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 was $41.2 million compared to $32.0 million for the same period in 2021. Direct sales comprised approximately 41% of total sales, while distributor sales made up the balance.

Gross profit for the second quarter was $27.5 million, or 66.7% of revenue, compared to $21.5 million, or 67.1% of revenue, for the same period in 2021.

Total operating expenses for the second quarter were $37.9 million, an increase of $11.8 million compared to $26.1 million in the second quarter of 2021.

SG&A expenses for the second quarter increased approximately $11.2 million to $33.0 million compared to $21.8 million in the second quarter of 2021. The increase in SG&A was primarily due to an increase in personnel and related costs due to increased headcount, an increase in sales and marketing expenses, as well as an increase in consulting fees.

R&D expenses increased approximately $0.6 million to $4.9 million in the second quarter compared to $4.3 million for the same quarter a year ago. The increase was primarily due to an increase in regulatory affair costs and expenditures related to our U.S. IDE clinical study.

Net loss from operations for the second quarter was $10.4 million compared to a net loss of $4.6 million in the year ago period.

The Company’s cash balance on June 30, 2022 was $91.3 million. Cash increased $37.8 million from December 31, 2021, primarily as a result of borrowings under the new credit facility, partially offset by repayment of the Madryn debt agreement, operating losses and investments in facility expansion.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the consolidated financial results prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), we have disclosed in this press release constant currency sales (or revenue) information, which is a non-GAAP measure that excludes the impact of foreign exchange currency fluctuations. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates impact the sales growth rates of our underlying business. Management believes that excluding the impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations from its sales growth provides investors a more useful comparison to historical financial results. In order to remove the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, we calculate constant currency revenue, which represents the outcome that would have resulted had exchange rates in the current period been the same as those in effect in the comparable prior period. Management believes that providing investors with this non-GAAP measure gives them additional information to enable them to assess, in the same way management assesses, the Company's current and future continuing operations. This non-GAAP measure is not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

You can find many (but not all) of these statements by looking for words such as “approximates,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “intends to,” “would,” “will,” “may” or other similar expressions in this press release. Any statements that refer to projections of our future financial or operating performance, our liquidity and anticipated cash plans; anticipated trends in our business, our goals, strategies, focus and plans, including related product development and commercialization and regulatory approvals, and other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including statements expressing general optimism about future operating results, related to the company’s performance 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 press release, 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, we cannot guarantee future performance, and some will inevitably prove to be incorrect. As a result, our actual future results and the timing of events may differ from our expectations, and those differences may be material. Factors, among others, that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from those described in any forward-looking statements include risks and uncertainties relating to: our ability to successfully, timely and cost-effectively develop, seek and obtain regulatory clearance for and commercialize our product offerings; the rate of adoption of our products by healthcare providers or other customers; the success of our marketing initiatives; the safe and effective use of our products; our ability to protect our intellectual property; our future expansion plans and capital allocation; our cash requirements and ability to generate positive cash flow from operations; our ability to expand upon and/or secure sources of credit or capital; our ability to develop and maintain relationships with qualified suppliers to avoid a significant interruption in our supply chains; our ability to attract and retain key personnel; our ability to scale our operations to meet market demands; the effect on our business of existing and new regulatory requirements; the effect on our business of the current Russia-Ukraine conflict; the impact of foreign currency exchange rates; the impact on our business of an economic downturn or deterioration of general macroeconomic conditions, including slower growth or recession, inflation or decreases in consumer spending power or confidence; other economic and competitive factors; and the other risks and uncertainties discussed in Item 1A, Risk Factors, in the company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed on March 1, 2022, as such risks and uncertainties will be updated in the company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2022, which is expected to be filed with the SEC on August 9, 2022. These and other factors that could cause or contribute to actual results differing materially from our expectations may also be amended, updated or superseded from time to time in the future in 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.
