SAN CLEMENTE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / May 20, 2019 / ReShape Lifesciences Inc. (OTCQB: RSLS), a developer of minimally invasive medical devices to treat obesity and metabolic diseases, today reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Recent Highlights and Accomplishments
“In my first months at ReShape, I am impressed with the commercial progress the team has made in such a short time of owning LAP-BAND,” said Bart Bandy, President and Chief Executive Officer at ReShape Lifesciences. “The revenue achieved in the first quarter of 2019 alone is greater than ReShape Lifesciences revenues for the entire year of 2018.

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2019 was $2.2 million compared to $79 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2018.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $5.4 million compared to $6.3 million in the first quarter of 2018.
Research and development expenses were $1.1 million for the first quarter of 2019 compared to $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2018.
As of March 31, 2019, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $1.8 million and approximately $2.0 million of liability associated with the subordinated convertible debentures from the financing completed March 29, 2019.
