Sientra Reports RECORD Second Quarter FINANCIAL and operational Results

Revenue growth of 7.5% driven by continued market share gains in reconstruction and augmentation

Best operational results in company history with 95% and 63% year-over-year improvement in
operating cash flow and adjusted EBITDA respectively.

Continued success in advancing products through the FDA regulatory process with clearance
of Allox2 Pro™, the first and only FDA-cleared MRI-compatible tissue expander.

IRVINE, Calif., August 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sientra, Inc. (NASDAQ: SIEN) (“Sientra” or the “Company”), a surgical aesthetics company developing the safest and most innovative solutions for the best aesthetic outcomes, today announced its financial results for the second quarter that ended June 30, 2023.

Second Quarter 2023 Financial and Business Highlights

Ron Menezes, Sientra’s President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Sientra is proud to report significant progress toward our goal of sustainable and profitable growth, exemplified by a record low free cash flow usage for the Company. With this near break-even result, we are confident of reaching our goal of positive free cash flow performance by year-end."

"We experienced our twelfth consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue growth, driven by continued strong performance in reconstruction. While we also outperformed the overall augmentation segment, we continued to see softness in this channel as patient spending on elective cash pay aesthetics procedures declined.”

“We recently introduced Viality™, the only system designed for enhanced viability fat transfer, and SimpliDerm®, an innovative acellular dermal matrix for soft tissue repair. Those products will leverage our plastic surgery platform, accelerate Sientra’s long-term growth and further our leading position in reconstruction. We are encouraged by the early positive responses we have received from those who have already adopted these products. As we continue to work through the hospital contracting process, we expect to see an increase in sales later this year positioning us well for 2024 and beyond.”

Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Revised Full Year 2023 Guidance

Due to continued softness in the augmentation market, the Company is revising its full year guidance, expecting total net sales of $98 million to $102 million. This represents growth of 8% to 13% compared to net sales of $90.5 million in 2022.

With Sientra’s continued improvement in operational efficiencies, the Company is also reducing its GAAP operating spend to a forecasted level of $84 million to $87 million, and non-GAAP operating spend to a forecasted level of $75 million to $78 million, in each case for the full year 2023. The non-GAAP operating spend is a reduction of $3.5 million at the midpoint from the prior full year guidance. At the midpoint, the GAAP forecasted range is an absolute decrease of $25 million or 23% compared to $110.6 million for the full year 2022, and a non-GAAP operating expense reduction of $15 million, or 16.5%, as compared to the $91.6 million for the full year 2022. Sientra’s confidence in achieving these cost reductions while growing net sales by a projected 10.5% at the midpoint of revised guidance reflects the Company’s commitment to sustainable, long-term profitable growth.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Sientra has supplemented its U.S. GAAP net income (loss) with a non-GAAP measure of adjusted EBITDA, U.S. GAAP gross profit and gross margin with a non-GAAP measure of adjusted gross profit and gross margin, U.S. GAAP operating expenses with a non-GAAP measure of non-GAAP operating expenses, and

 

---

 

U.S. GAAP cash flow from operating activities with a non-GAAP measure of free cash flow. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to management and investors regarding the performance of the Company, facilitate a more meaningful comparison of results for current periods with previous operating results, and assist management in analyzing future trends, making strategic and business decisions and establishing internal budgets and forecasts. Reconciliations of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP adjusted gross profit and gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, and free cash flow to U.S. GAAP net income (loss), U.S. GAAP operating expenses and U.S. GAAP cash flow from operating activities, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures, are provided in the schedules below. There are limitations in using these non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for U.S. 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 U.S. GAAP and the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures provided in the schedules below.
