Segment performance
In the first quarter, total revenue was $41.4 million. US sales in the first quarter were $6.2 million, and outside the US, first quarter sales met expectations. Gross profit for the first quarter was $27.8 million, which is 67.2% of revenue. The gross margin was 160 basis points higher compared to the same period in 2024. Revenue in the first quarter was an increase of 11% from the year ago period, excluding foreign exchange impact, growth would have been 13.5%.
Guidance
• Reiterated revenue guidance of $205 million to $210 million. • US revenue is expected to meaningfully exceed the $35 million guided in February. • OUS revenue to have single-digit growth this year. • Forecast first positive EBITDA quarter in 2025 and cash flow breakeven in 2026. • Guidance is conservative, taking into account tariff-related impacts.
Risks
• Uncertainty in the global economy. • Impact of trade policies/tariffs, though proposed duties on goods from Costa Rica to US have a minimal gross margin impact.
Q&A highlights
Q: Please confirm the mid-single-digit guidance for OUS and break down consumer sentiment by region, particularly Brazil, Southeast Asia, and China.
A: OUS business has not seen impact on demand. Asia has stabilized, Europe has pockets of growth, and Latin America, particularly Brazil, continues to have challenges but is stabilizing.
Q: Talk about the strategy behind keeping guidance where it is despite US launch outpacing range.
A: Very happy with US performance, driven by best-in-class organization, superior product, and Meghan Trainor program. Guidance is conservative while monitoring progress.
Q: What are you seeing in the field in terms of competitive response to US Motiva launch?
A: Not seen significant competitive response, some price discounting but not impacting much.
Q: Update on U.S. sales force and plans to expand?
A: Currently at 40 reps, planning to expand in larger cities with good penetration, adding reps financially prudently.
Q: Feedback on U.S. surgeons' response to Motiva?
A: Very positive, with strong momentum and expansion of opportunity through social media and surgeon campaigns.
Q: Update on spend profile and operating spend guidance?
A: Modeling $45 million to $46 million per quarter for operating spend, with first quarter slightly lower due to timing, expecting leverage from US revenue growth.
Q: Update on halo effect of FDA approval and OUS clinics utilizing FDA-approved products?
A: Continues to see strong momentum in converting clinics, but specific number of clinics utilizing FDA-approved products is hard to pin down.
