TELA Bio Reports Record Second Quarter 2021 Revenues Driven by Increased Demand

 

MALVERN, Pa., August 11, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TELA Bio, Inc. ("TELA") (Nasdaq: TELA), a commercial-stage medical technology company focused on designing, developing, and marketing innovative tissue reinforcement materials to address unmet needs in soft tissue reconstruction, today reported second quarter 2021 financial results.

 

Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results and Business Highlights

 

-Reported revenue of $7.6 million for the second quarter of 2021, increasing 116% year-over-year and 29% sequentially;

 

-Increased demand for all OviTex® Reinforced Tissue Matrix hernia products in the second quarter with robotic-assisted and minimally invasive hernia procedures representing approximately 50% of all OviTex hernia procedures in the quarter;

 

-Achieved strong quarter-over-quarter and sequential growth in both OviTex LPR and OviTex PRS revenue; and

 

-Initiated BRAVO II prospective clinical study evaluating OviTex Reinforced Tissue Matrix for the robotic repair of ventral hernias.

 

"Throughout the quarter, broad demand for all of our reinforced tissue matrix products continued to grow and we delivered record second quarter revenue," said Antony Koblish, co-founder, President and Chief Executive Officer of TELA Bio. "The time and effort our team invested during the pandemic, in reaching out to current and prospective customers through our TELA LIVE virtual program, is bearing fruit. While the uncertainties of another wave of COVID-19 could affect our future revenue growth, I believe we are ideally positioned to continue to experience strong growth in market share and revenue throughout the remainder of 2021 and beyond."

 

Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results

 

Revenue was $7.6 million for the second quarter of 2021, an increase of 116% compared to the prior year period and up 29% compared to the first quarter of 2021. The increase in revenue was primarily driven by an increase in unit sales of our products due to the expansion of our commercial organization, an increase in customer accounts, and increased penetration with existing customer accounts.

 

Gross profit was $5.1 million for the second quarter of 2021, or 67% of revenue, compared to $2.1 million, or 59% of revenue, in the same period in 2020. The increase was primarily due to the decrease in the charge recognized for excess and obsolete inventory adjustments as a percentage of revenue.

 

 

 

 

Operating expenses were $12.4 million in the second quarter of 2021 and included a one-time non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $0.7 million related to amendments to certain equity award agreements following the death of our co-founder and former Chief Medical Officer. Operating expenses were $7.3 million in the same period in 2020. The increase was due to the expansion of our commercialization activities, higher personnel costs, including non-cash stock-based compensation expenses, and increased research and development expenses. The prior year period also included cost containment measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which were not implemented in 2021.

 

Loss from operations was $7.3 million in the second quarter of 2021, compared to a loss from operations of $5.2 million in the same period in 2020.

 

Net loss was $8.3 million in the second quarter of 2021, compared to a net loss of $6.1 million in the same period in 2020.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents at June 30, 2021 were $60.3 million.

 

Financial Outlook

 

For the full year 2021, TELA Bio is increasing its total revenue guidance to be in the range of $28.0 million to $30.0 million, representing growth of 54% to 65% over the prior year period. As with previous guidance, continued uncertainty relating to the dynamic environment with the COVID-19 pandemic could materially impact this projection.

 

Conference Call and Webcast Details

 

The Company will host a live conference call and webcast to discuss these results and provide a corporate update on Wednesday, August 11, 2021, at 4:30 PM ET.

 

To participate in the call, please dial (855) 859-2056 (domestic) or (404) 537-3406 (international) and provide conference ID 9285257. The live webcast will be available on the Events & Presentations page of the Investors section of TELA's website.
