Ron Menezes, Sientra’s President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We had an exceptionally strong second quarter, with record Breast Products revenues and total number of accounts reaching the highest in Sientra’s history. We are now solely focused on the plastic surgery market and clearly demonstrating our ability to take market share. Breast augmentation continues to be our strongest growth driver today. Encouragingly, we saw 121% growth in our augmentation sales in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same quarter in 2019, which significantly outpaced the augmentation market growth of an estimated 1.5% during the same period, further highlighting the significant traction we’ve achieved over pre-COVID levels.

“Additionally, we were delighted to welcome several additions to our leadership team. Our ability to attract rich, new talent and leverage their wide range of expertise will be key to our future growth. As well, adding greater diversity to our organization continues to be a critical objective for us and we are proud that half of our Board of Directors and Executives are female – which we strongly believe provides us with a competitive advantage as we continue to focus on becoming the leader in bringing transformative treatments to progress the art of plastic surgery,” concluded Menezes.

Second Quarter 2021 Continuing Operations Financial Review
Total revenues for the second quarter 2021 were $20.1 million, an increase of 116% compared to $9.3 million for the same period in 2020.

Gross profit in the second quarter 2021 was $11.3 million, or 56% of sales, compared to gross profit of $5.3 million, or 56.5% of sales, for the same period in 2020 and $10.2 million or 55.4% of sales in the first quarter of 2021.

Operating expenses for the second quarter 2021 were $20.4 million compared to $14.5 million of operating expenses for the same period in 2020 and $21.9 million in the first quarter of 2021.

Loss from continuing operations for the second quarter 2021 was $18.5 million, or $0.32 per share, compared to a loss of $31.2 million from continuing operations, or $0.62 per share, for the same period in 2020 and $56.6 million, or $1.04 per share in the first quarter of 2021.   Loss from continuing operations includes non-cash charges resulting from the changes in the fair value of the derivative liability which is adjusted from loss from continuing operations for adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA for Q2 21 was a $5.5 million dollar loss or $0.09 per share as compared to a $6.7 million loss or $0.13 per share for Q2 20, reflecting a 19% improvement.

Net cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2021, were $82.4 million, compared to $55.0 million as of December 31, 2020.

Updated Financial Guidance
For the full year 2021, the Company increased its guidance to revenue of $74 million to $78 million, representing growth of 35% to 42% over 2020. This compares to previous guidance of $72 million to $76 million.

The Company reiterated operating expenses for the full year are expected to be in the range of $85 - $90 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Sientra has supplemented its US GAAP net income (loss) with a non-GAAP measure of Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP earnings per share. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to management and investors regarding the performance of the Company, facilitates a more meaningful comparison of results for current periods with previous operating results, and assists management in analyzing future trends, making strategic and business decisions and establishing internal budgets and forecasts. A reconciliation of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP loss per share, the most directly comparable GAAP measures, is provided in the schedule below.

There are limitations in using this non-GAAP financial measure because it is not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial measures. Investors and potential investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures only in conjunction with Sientra’s financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measure provided in the schedule below.
