ENGLEWOOD, CO / ACCESSWIRE / November 10, 2022 / Viveve Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ:VIVE), a medical technology company focused on women's health and the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI), today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, and will provide a corporate update on its scheduled conference call at 5:00 PM ET today.
"During the third quarter of 2022, we continued to make great progress in the final phase of our pivotal U.S. PURSUIT clinical trial for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence. We remain on track to complete patient follow-up visits by the end of the year with topline results expected shortly thereafter," said Scott Durbin, Viveve's chief executive officer. "We are also pleased with our commercial results during the third quarter as we continue our ongoing efforts to increase adoption and utilization of the Viveve® System by core medical specialists in urology, urogynecology, and gynecology in the U.S. and Asia Pacific regions."
Third Quarter and Recent Business Highlights
Reported total revenue of $1.7 million for the third quarter 2022, increasing the installed base of Viveve® Systems to 915 worldwide;
Sold approximately 3,100 single-use disposable treatment tips worldwide;
Advanced 12-month follow-up visits in pivotal U.S. PURSUIT clinical trial for SUI targeting completion of final follow visits by the end of 2022 and reporting of topline data thereafter; and
Expanded the Company's intellectual property estate with the reported Notice of Allowance for a second SUI Method Patent from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
Q3 2022 Financial Results
Revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, totaled $1.7 million from the sale of 11 Viveve Systems and approximately 3,100 disposable treatment tips, compared to revenue of $1.6 million for the same period in 2021. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had an installed base of 915 Viveve Systems worldwide, 479 in the U.S. and 436 internationally.
Gross profit for the third quarter of 2022 was $0.5 million, or 32% of revenue, compared to gross profit of $0.1 million, or 7% of revenue, for the same period in 2021.
Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2022 were $5.2 million, compared to $5.6 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease is primarily due to reduced clinical study costs in the period as we advanced our fully enrolled PURSUIT clinical trial. Operating expense reductions were partially offset by costs associated with increased engineering and development work related to our next generation products and strategic planning efforts in anticipation of the PURSUIT clinical trial completion.
Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the third quarter of 2022 was $6.3 million, or ($0.59) per share based on 10,655,410 weighted average shares outstanding during the period, compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $7.0 million, or ($0.67) per share, for the same period in 2021 based on 10,591,834 weighted average shares outstanding during the period.
Cash and cash equivalents were $5.9 million as of September 30, 2022, compared to $19.2 million as of December 31, 2021.

Viveve Medical, Inc. (Viveve), is a women's health company focused on the treatment of female SUI. Based in Englewood, Colorado, the Company is conducting a pivotal U.S. clinical trial called PURSUIT, using its novel, dual-energy treatment for SUI in women. The internationally patented Viveve® System incorporates Cryogen-cooled Monopolar Radiofrequency technology to uniformly provide an endovaginal treatment that is non-ablative. In the U.S., the Viveve System is cleared by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in general surgical procedures for electrocoagulation and hemostasis. International regulatory approvals and clearances have been received for vaginal laxity and/or improvement in sexual function and/or urinary incontinence. Viveve's current commercial and market development efforts focus on the U.S. and Asia Pacific regions targeting urogynecology, urology, and gynecology core specialties.
Viveve received FDA approval of its Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) application to conduct the multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, sham-controlled PURSUIT trial for improvement of SUI in women in July 2020, and FDA approval of its requested IDE protocol amendments in December 2020. The clinical trial was initiated in January 2021, and completion of subject enrollment was announced on December 14, 2021. Completion of subject follow-up visits is anticipated by the end of 2022, and topline results will be reported shortly thereafter. If positive, results from the PURSUIT clinical trial may support a new SUI indication in the U.S.
