ReShape Lifesciences Announces First Quarter 2020 Financial and Operational Results
SAN CLEMENTE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / May 14, 2020 / ReShape Lifesciences Inc. (OTCQB:RSLS), a leading developer and distributor of minimally invasive medical devices to treat obesity and metabolic diseases, today reported financial and operational results for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Recent Highlights and Accomplishments
- Executed prudent cost-reduction strategy to enhance business positioning in response to COVID-19 pandemic
- Initiated educational webinar series with physicians, patient advocacy groups and health-management professionals to deliver long-term product efficacy updates and encourage industry collaboration
- Continued development of product and services pipeline to capitalize on core competencies and growth opportunities
- Advanced exclusive multi-platform marketing and professional education programs to support healthcare providers and optimize patient outcomes

“ReShape remains focused on supporting our surgeons and their patients while continuing the successful reengagement of the weight loss community with an expanded market education strategy for the LAP-BAND®, our product pipeline and our enhanced services portfolio,” said Bart Bandy, President and Chief Executive Officer at ReShape Lifesciences. “The COVID-19 pandemic emerged as a hurdle beyond anyone’s immediate control, for which we implemented various short-term cost reductions and cash flow improvement actions, including a recent short term loan financing, compensation reductions and the decision to furlough a portion of the workforce. Furthermore, we maintained strong interactions with our key accounts and focused our development efforts on enhancing and adding programs to accelerate the return of weight loss surgeries and to create new, strategically diversified revenue opportunities. Although sales were negatively impacted by COVID-19, first quarter trends were very encouraging. Throughout this recent market uncertainty, we have continued to align and drive prioritized efforts towards our overall goal of becoming the preferred corporate partner for all stakeholders in the weight-loss community.”

Non-GAAP Disclosures
In addition to the financial information prepared in conformity with GAAP, we provide certain historical non-GAAP financial information. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures assist investors in making comparisons of period-to-period operating results and that, in some respects, these non-GAAP financial measures are more indicative of the Company’s ongoing core operating performance than their GAAP equivalents.
Management believes that the presentation of this non-GAAP financial information provides investors with greater transparency and facilitates comparison of operating results across a broad spectrum of companies with varying capital structures, compensation strategies, derivative instruments, and amortization methods, which provides a more complete understanding of our financial performance, competitive position, and prospects for the future. However, the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this Form 10-K have certain limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of our business as determined in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, the non-GAAP financial measures presented by the Company may be different from similarly named non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA
Management uses Adjusted EBITDA in its evaluation of the Company’s core results of operations and trends between fiscal periods and believes that these measures are important components of its internal performance measurement process. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, changes in fair value of liability warrants and other one-time costs. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA in its evaluation of the Company’s core results of operations and trends between fiscal periods and believes that these measures are important components of its internal performance measurement process.
