SAN CLEMENTE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / March 10, 2021 / ReShape Lifesciences Inc. (OTCQB:RSLS), a global weight-loss solutions leader, today reported financial and operational results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2020.
Recent Highlights and Accomplishments
“Despite the constraints of the COVID-19 pandemic, 2020 was a transformational year for ReShape, as we expanded our platform of weight loss solutions and recently announced a definitive agreement for our merger with Obalon,” commented Bart Bandy, President and Chief Executive Officer at ReShape Lifesciences. “While this merger strategically enables us to expand our offering, we are also pleased by the internal progress we made within our own portfolio; we continued to develop Lap-Band accounts and expanded the development and enrollment of our ReShapeCare service, which we believe validates the need for safe and accessible virtual care in the current climate and into the future. To supplement these efforts, we took significant steps to both reduce annual expenses and strengthen our balance sheet. As a result of the progress made to strengthen and expand ReShape’s line of products and services, we are positively positioned to achieve our vision of becoming the premier weight loss and metabolic health solutions company for physicians and patients.”
Fourth Quarter 2020 Financial Results
Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2020, was $3.2 million compared to $4.1 million in revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2019. The primary reason for the overall decrease in net revenue is due to a reduction in sales from the COVID-19 pandemic. Positive momentum during the second half of the year was observed as revenues accelerated from $4.5 million in the first half of the year to $6.8 million during the second half.
Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $1.6 million compared to $2.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019. The decrease is primarily related to lower revenues.
Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2020 were $1.2 million compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019. The decrease is primarily related to lower travel and entertainment expenses, stock-based compensation expense, payroll related expenses, and commissions.
General and administrative expenses were $2.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to $3.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019. The decrease is primarily from reduced stock-based compensation and bad debt expenses, offset by an increase in legal fees related to the proposed Obalon merger.
Research and development expenses were $0.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019. The increase is due to committed efforts with the ReShape Vest clinical study and controlled development within our line of products and services.
Non-GAAP adjusted EBIDTA loss was $2.2million for the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to a loss of $1.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019. The increase in Non-GAAP EBITDA loss is a result of lower revenues from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Full Year 2020 Financial Results
Revenue for 2020 was $11.3 million compared to $15.1 million in revenues for 2019. The primary reason for the overall decrease in net revenue is due to a reduction in sales from the COVID-19 pandemic, offset by an almost 200% increase in revenue for Europe.
Gross profit for 2020 was $6.3 million compared to $9.3 million for 2019. The decrease in gross profit margin is primarily due to reduced overall sales from the COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with an increase in international sales, which have a lower gross profit percentage than domestic sales.
Sales and marketing expenses were $4.7 million for 2020 compared to $4.8 million for 2019. The primary reason for the decrease is a reduction in travel and entertainment expenses and stock-based compensation expense, offset by an increase in consulting fees and commissions.
General and administrative expenses were $10.5 million for 2020 compared to $17.2 million for 2019. The decrease is primarily due to decreases in audit, consulting, and other professional service provider expenses and legal fees.
Research and development expenses were $3.5 million for 2020 compared to $3.1 million for 2019. The primary reason is due to an increase in payroll related expenses and consulting fees, due to committed efforts with the ReShape Vest clinical study and controlled development within our line of products and services.
Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss was $9.1 million for 2020 compared to a loss of $11.6 million for 2019. The $2.5 million reduction in loss is primarily attributed to reduced operating expenses.
As of December 31, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash totaling $3.0 million, after the payment of $2.0 million of the purchase price for the Lap-Band System that was due and paid in December 2020. Additionally, we have been notified that our PPP loan in the amount of $1.0 million has been fully forgiven by the SBA and we have no further obligations with regard to this loan.

These forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of words such as “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “may,” “intend,” “will,” “continue,” “future,” other words of similar meaning and the use of future dates. These forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations of our management and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others: risks related to the completion of our proposed merger with Obalon, risks inherent in outbreaks of pandemics or contagious diseases, including COVID-19; risks and uncertainties related to our acquisition of the LAP-BAND system; our ability to continue as a going concern if we are unable to improve our operating results or obtain additional financing; risks related to ownership of our securities as a result of our delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market; our proposed ReShape Vest product may not be successfully developed and commercialized; our limited history of operations; our losses since inception and for the foreseeable future; our limited commercial sales experience; the competitive industry in which we operate; our dependence on third parties to initiate and perform our clinical trials; the need to obtain regulatory approval for our ReShape Vest and any modifications to our vBloc system and LAP-BAND system; physician adoption of our products; our ability to obtain third party coding, coverage or payment levels; ongoing regulatory compliance; our dependence on third party manufacturers and suppliers; the successful development of our sales and marketing capabilities; our ability to raise additional capital when needed; international commercialization and operation; our ability to attract and retain management and other personnel and to manage our growth effectively; potential product liability claims; the cost and management time of operating a public company; potential healthcare fraud and abuse claims; healthcare legislative reform; and our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for our technology and products.

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 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.
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.
