Q2 2017 Financial Results Revenue for the second quarter of 2017 totaled $3,076,000 from the sale of 45 systems, 27 of which were sold in the U.S. market through direct sales, and approximately 3,300 treatment tips, compared to revenue of $1,556,000 for the same period in 2016, an increase of almost 100% year over year. Sales in the second quarter of 2016 included 40 systems and a much smaller quantity of treatment tips that were sold entirely outside the U.S. to Viveve distribution partners.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2017 was $1,239,000, or 40% of revenue, compared to gross profit of $534,000, or 34% of revenue, for the same period in 2016. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to sales of 45 systems in the second quarter of 2017, which included 27 systems sold in the U.S. market through direct sales.

Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2017 were $10,302,000, up from $5,078,000 in the same period in 2016, primarily as a result of increased costs to support U.S. commercialization and expansion into new international markets, research and development efforts, and strategies to protect our intellectual property, as well as other general corporate expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2017 increased primarily due to increased sales and marketing efforts to build brand and market awareness, expenses associated with being a public company.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2017 was $10,425,000, or a loss of $0.54 per share, compared with a net loss of $5,316,000, or a loss of $0.66 per share, for the same period in 2016.

Cash and cash equivalents were $31,060,000 as of June 30, 2017, an increase of $22,974,000 from $8,086,000 as of December 31, 2016.

Viveve now has an installed base of 304 systems worldwide, 87 of which were sold in the first half of 2017.

InControl Medical Distribution Agreement and Strategic Investment "Completing an agreement with InControl Medical represents a significant opportunity for Viveve in the U.S. professional healthcare market. The addition of InControl Medical's FDA cleared medical devices for stress, urge, and mixed incontinence as well as their products to improve pelvic floor strength enhances our portfolio with a range of high quality products that are used by healthcare professionals within Viveve's currently targeted specialties," said Ms. Scheller.

The finalized agreement grants Viveve exclusive distribution rights to all InControl Medical products for sale to healthcare providers in the United States. Viveve will also make a $2.5 million equity investment in InControl Medical.

"In addition to InControl Medical's innovative devices to treat incontinence, their products aimed at improving patients' pelvic floor strength and health complement the effectiveness of Viveve's Geneveve treatment, that currently has regulatory clearance or approval in over 50 countries for the treatment of vaginal laxity and/or the improvement of sexual function. In the United States, the Viveve System is cleared by the FDA for general surgical procedures for electrocoagulation and hemostasis," Ms. Scheller continued.

"We are pleased with the opportunity to partner with Viveve to enable wider distribution of our clinically proven devices to U.S. medical professionals who can help the millions of patients suffering from pelvic floor and related incontinence conditions. Our hope is that these products will allow more women to have better control and an improved quality of life. Viveve and InControl share a dedicated commitment to advancing solutions for women's health," said Herschel Peddicord, founder and chief executive officer of InControl Medical.

According to the National Association for Incontinence, an estimated 25 million adult Americans suffer from some form of urinary incontinence, and 75-80% of people affected are women. The proven-effective products by InControl Medical further expand the Viveve focus on therapeutic solutions that effectively address common conditions and unmet needs in women's health.
