Santa Barbara, CA – August 8, 2019 – Sientra, Inc. (NASDAQ: SIEN), a medical aesthetics company, announced today its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019.

Jeff Nugent, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Sientra, commented, “In the second quarter, we achieved record net sales of $20.5 million, a 17% increase compared to the year-ago period. This quarterly performance was driven by strong growth in both our Breast Products and miraDry segments and represents solid progress towards achieving our 2019 objectives.”

Mr. Nugent added, “Our Breast Products segment grew net sales 19% year over year, strong evidence of market share gains from our targeted new customer conversion programs as well as deeper penetration of existing accounts. We believe the superior safety profile and industry-leading warranty of our OPUS® implants is clearly resonating with board-certified plastic surgeons and their patients.”

Mr. Nugent concluded, “miraDry delivered another strong quarter, achieving record net sales of $9.3 million. Our brand awareness and market activation initiatives have positioned miraDry to be a significant growth driver for Sientra in 2019 and beyond.”

Second Quarter 2019 Financial Review

Total net sales for the second quarter 2019 were $20.5 million, an increase of 17% compared to total net sales of $17.6 million for the same period in 2018.

Net sales for the Breast Products segment totaled $11.2 million in the second quarter 2019, a 19% increase compared to $9.4 million for the same period 2018. Breast Products sales growth was primarily driven by new customer conversion programs and continued strong performance of the tissue expander portfolio.

Net sales for the miraDry segment totaled $9.3 million in the second quarter 2019, a 15% increase compared to $8.1 million for the same period 2018. miraDry sales growth was driven by an increase in sales of consoles and consumables globally, with a particularly strong U.S. performance.

Gross profit for the second quarter 2019 was $12.7 million, or 61.9% of sales, compared to gross profit of $10.9 million, or 62.1% of sales, for the same period 2018.

Operating expenses for the second quarter 2019 were $52.8 million, compared to $27.8 million of expenses for the same period 2018. Excluding a $15.8 million non-cash impairment of certain goodwill and intangibles related to miraDry, operating expenses increased $9.2 million, primarily driven by increased investments in sales and marketing.

Net loss for the second quarter 2019 was ($40.8) million, or ($1.19) per share, compared to a net loss of ($18.0) million, or ($0.73) per share, for the same period 2018.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Sientra has supplemented its US GAAP net income (loss) with a non-GAAP measure of Adjusted EBITDA. Management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides 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), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, 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.
