ENGLEWOOD, CO / ACCESSWIRE / March 17, 2022 / Viveve Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ:VIVE), a medical technology company focused on women’s intimate health, today reported financial results for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company will provide a corporate update on its scheduled conference call at 5:00 PM ET today.

“I am extremely pleased with the milestones achieved throughout 2021 as the entire Viveve team focused on advancing our stress urinary incontinence (SUI) program and growing our core market for SUI. In the midst of the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, we initiated our U.S. pivotal PURSUIT trial in January 2021 and quickly onboarded 30 investigational sites in the following months. Trial enrollment accelerated mid-year as we increased promotional efforts with our clinical sites and successfully reached full 390 patient enrollment in mid-December,” said Scott Durbin, Viveve’s chief executive officer. “Concurrently, we have continued to support existing Viveve customers and drive System adoption and utilization through core medical specialists in U.S. and Asia Pacific markets. We look forward to the PURSUIT trial readout expected at the end of 2022 while continuing operational efficiencies and efforts to maintain a low cash burn rate.”

Mr. Durbin added, “We believe our innovative, single treatment, dual-energy technology may benefit an estimated 25-30 million women in the U.S. who suffer from SUI, which we believe represents a multi-billion-dollar commercial opportunity for Viveve.”

2021 and Recent Business Highlights

• Initiated and completed enrollment in U.S. pivotal PURSUIT trial: Advanced our SUI clinical program in pursuit of a new U.S. indication. Patient 12-month follow-up visits underway with top-line results anticipated at the end of 2022.

Full Year 2021 Financial Results

Revenue for 2021 totaled approximately $6.4 million compared to total revenue of approximately $5.5 million in 2020. Sales in 2021 included 46 Viveve Systems and approximately 10,750 disposable treatment tips compared to 31 Viveve Systems and approximately 8,900 disposable treatment tips in 2020. Under the Company’s subscription program, we placed 24 Viveve Systems in the U.S. market in 2021

Gross profit for 2021 was approximately $0.6 million, or 10% of revenue, compared to gross profit of approximately $0.3 million, or 5% of revenue for 2020. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to the higher volume of Systems and disposable treatment tips sold in 2021.

Total operating expenses for 2021 were approximately $22.2 million compared to $18.8 million for 2020. The increase is the result of the Company’s efforts to advance our SUI development program and increase enrollment in our PURSUIT clinical trial.

Spending on research and development for 2021 was approximately $9.7 million compared to approximately $5.1 million in 2020. The increase in R&D spending was primarily due to costs associated with engineering and development work related to product line improvements and efforts to advance our SUI clinical development program.

Selling, general and administrative expenses during 2021 were approximately $12.5 million compared to approximately $13.7 million in 2020. The decrease in SG&A spending in 2021 was primarily due to reduced spending as a result of the cost reduction efforts to increase operational and commercial efficiency and lower cash burn rate.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders for 2021 was approximately $26.7 million, or a net loss of $2.65 per share of common stock based on 10,089,722 weighted average shares outstanding during the period, compared with a net loss of approximately $26.1 million, or a net loss of $16.56 per share of common stock for 2020 based on 1,573,528 weighted average shares outstanding during the period (adjusted for the Company’s 1-for-10 reverse stock split in December 2020).

Cash and cash equivalents were $19.2 million as of December 31, 2021, compared to $6.5 million as of December 31, 2020.
