Q2 Financial Results

"Since launching commercially in Q3 2015, we have seen continued sales momentum around the globe and believe we are well positioned to build on our early commercial success throughout the remainder of 2016," stated Scott Durbin, Viveve's chief financial officer, adding, "We continue to exceed our commercial expectations and customer feedback continues to be very positive."

Revenue for the second quarter of 2016 totaled $1,556,000 from the sale of 40 Viveve Systems, 402 disposable treatment tips and other ancillary consumables, compared to revenue of $73,000 for the same period in 2015, an increase of $1,483,000.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2016 was $534,000, compared to gross profit of $20,000, for the same period in 2015, an increase of $514,000. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to the sale of 40 Viveve Systems to our distributors in the quarter.

Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2016 increased 75% to $5,078,000 from $2,907,000 in the same period in 2015, primarily as a result of increased efforts to support commercialization of our product in existing and new markets, increased research and development efforts and to implement strategies to protect our intellectual property. Spending on research and development during the second quarter of 2016 increased due to costs associated with increased engineering and development work with our contract manufacturer related to product improvement efforts. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2016 increased primarily due to increased sales and marketing efforts to build brand and market awareness, expenses associated with being a public company and financing efforts.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2016 was $5,316,000, or a loss of $0.66 per share, compared with a net loss of $3,006,000, or a loss of $0.67 per share, for the same period in 2015.
