ReShape Lifesciences Announces Second Quarter 2020 Financial and Operational Results

SAN CLEMENTE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 13, 2020 / ReShape Lifesciences Inc. (OTCQB:RSLS), a global weight-loss solutions leader, today reported financial and operational results for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Recent Highlights and Accomplishments

• Launched ReShapeCareä, first-in-class reimbursed, telehealth-based health coaching program providing patients a tailored, high-touch and personalized virtual treatment.
• Conducted multiple educational webinar series with physicians, patient advocacy groups and health-management professionals to highlight the benefits of the Lap-Band and positioning of the product among bariatric practices.
• Successfully implemented cost-reduction strategy to enhance business positioning in response to COVID-19 pandemic.
• Continued development of product and services pipeline to capitalizing on core competencies and growth opportunities.
• Experienced a resurgence of Lap-Band procedures and purchases towards the back-half of 2Q 2020.

“During the second quarter, ReShape Lifesciences launched its new ReShapeCareä service, a unique telehealth enabled customizable platform that provides physicians with a valuable tool for enhanced patient engagement between required practice visits,” said Bart Bandy, President and Chief Executive Officer at ReShape Lifesciences. “ReShapeCare bridges existing gaps within the current weight-loss care continuum by equipping bariatric surgeons and physicians with a virtual program to optimize care management of all their medically supervised weight-loss patients, including those who may have lost continuity of care and not limited to those who have had Lap-Band®. The ability for physicians to directly interact with their patients virtually has become increasingly important as obesity is the most-prevalent and severe underlying condition for COVID-19. ReShapeCare is a result of our company’s commitment and focus to drive revenue and shareholder value by expanding our differentiated offerings through new program development.”

Mr. Bandy continued, “While second quarter revenue was materially impacted by COVID-19, trends in the last month suggest moderate stabilization in segments of the therapeutic weight-loss industry. Furthermore, the implementation of various cost reductions and cash flow improvement initiatives taken at the onset of the pandemic clearly were successful in reducing ReShape Lifesciences’ overall operating expenses and thusly limiting the impact to the bottom-line. We remain focused on supporting our surgeons and their patients while continuing to align and drive prioritized efforts towards our overall goal of becoming the preferred corporate partner for stakeholders in the weight-loss community.”

Non-GAAP Disclosures

However, the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release 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.

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.
