Plenity Q2 product revenue increased 312% year-over-year to $9.0 million

Gross profit in Q2 increased by $4.0 million year-over-year, with gross margin improving to 47% from 8%

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Gelesis (NYSE: GLS), the maker of Plenity for weight management, today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2022.

“We are seeing both consumers and clinicians embracing Plenity, with continued growth in both of our distribution channels. We are excited by the fact that consumers are ordering quarterly kits at the start of their treatment journey as well as by our refill rates,” said Yishai Zohar, Founder and CEO of Gelesis. “There has been incredible momentum in obesity care and finally, patients have multiple effective approaches to managing their weight based upon their BMI, insurance coverage, and their personal needs. Plenity offers a unique solution: orally administered capsules for those individuals with overweight and obesity across a wide BMI spectrum, including those that are looking to lose 15-30 pounds. Plenity is further differentiated by its strong safety profile – enabling people to lose weight while enjoying the foods they love – at an affordable price, making our business well positioned in this rising tide of obesity care.”

“We’re encouraged by the continued growth in Plenity sales and improving profit margin, while our marketing efforts are getting more efficient by the day in generating awareness among consumers,” Gelesis CFO Elliot Maltz said. “The previously disclosed $15.0 million pre-order for Plenity that Ro placed in June provided a boost to our liquidity at the end of the quarter. The additional $25.0 million of proceeds from the previously disclosed private placement of promissory notes in July, as well as the committed equity financing agreement with B. Riley we entered into in August that provides us the option to issue up to $50.0 million of common stock, further strengthens our financial position.”

Second Quarter 2022 Results

  • Product revenue, net, was $9.0 million for the second quarter 2022 compared to $2.2 million for the second quarter 2021, a 312% increase year-over-year.
  • A total of 43,800 members joined during second quarter 2022 compared to 14,200 members joined during the second quarter 2021, a 208% increase year-over-year.
  • Gross profit was $4.2 million for the second quarter 2022 compared to $0.2 million for the second quarter 2021, with gross margin for the second quarter 2022 increasing to 47% from 8% in the second quarter 2021, attributable to increased sales volume and lower costs of goods sold.
  • Net loss for the quarter was $(12.5) million and Adjusted EBITDA was $(24.2) million for the second quarter 2022, compared to net loss of $(24.8) million and adjusted EBITDA of $(16.6) million for the second quarter 2021.
  • A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, to net loss, its most comparable financial measure under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), is included in the tables accompanying this press release. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional important information regarding Adjusted EBITDA.

Recent Business Highlights

  • Following the successful debut of the national broad awareness media campaign during the first quarter 2022, which resulted in a new record high for prescription requests, in June, the Company’s telehealth distribution partner, Ro, placed an additional pre-order for $15.0 million. This is in addition to previous Plenity pre-orders from Ro, bringing total fully pre-paid orders from Ro for Plenity to $55.0 million.
  • Gelesis presented new preclinical data at the American Diabetes Association’s annual conference that suggests that the company’s superabsorbent hydrogel causes changes to the microbiota leading to weight loss and improvements in glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity.
  • In July, Gelesis completed a private placement of $25.0 million in promissory notes with existing top tier investors.
  • In August, Gelesis entered into a committed equity financing agreement with B. Riley Principal Capital II, LLC, providing increased financial flexibility by allowing the company the option to issue up to $50.0 million of common stock. Any issuance activity under this facility will be undertaken opportunistically as market conditions warrant and with the interests of shareholders at the forefront.

Financial Outlook for Fiscal Year 2022

Gelesis is confident in the strong long-term potential of Plenity, while our financial projections have always been contingent on the timing and amount of raising additional financing. Based on current market conditions, available liquidity, and in anticipation of reduced levels of investment in selling and marketing in the second half of 2022 relative to the first half, Gelesis is updating its guidance for the full fiscal year 2022 as follows:

  • Product revenue, net, to be in the range of $27.0 million to $30.0 million, compared to an estimate of $58.0 million previously.
  • Gross profit to be in the range of $11.0 million to $13.0 million, compared to a range of $25.0 million to $30.0 million previously.
  • Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $(75.0) million to $(80.0) million, compared to a range of $(55.0) million to $(60.0) million previously.

The guidance provided above constitutes forward-looking statements which are subject to uncertainty. Actual results may differ materially, and we cannot anticipate the effect of changes in marketing investment on our results from operations. Refer to the "Forward-Looking Statements" safe harbor section below for information on the factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements.

Disclaimer

Gelesis assumes no obligation and does not intend to update or revise the results provided in this press release. The results provided in this press release represent past performance and are not necessarily predictive of future results.

Key Business Metrics

We monitor the following key metrics to help us evaluate our business, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans and make strategic decisions. We believe the following metrics are useful in evaluating our business:

New members acquired

We define new members acquired as the number of consumers in the United States who have begun their weight loss journey with Plenity during the financial period presented. This is the total number of recurring and non-recurring consumers who have begun their weight loss journey during the financial period presented. We do not differentiate from recurring and non-recurring consumers as of this date as (i) we strongly believe every member’s weight-loss journey is chronic and long-term in nature, and (ii) we have not initiated our long-term strategy and mechanisms to retain and/or win-back members. We will continue to evaluate the utility of this business metric in future periods.

Units sold

Units sold is defined as the number of 28-day supply units of Plenity sold through strategic partnerships with online pharmacies and telehealth providers as well as the units sold to our strategic partners outside the United States. Note that the terms “units” and “monthly kits”, as mentioned in Gelesis’ various public disclosures and filings, are synonymous when used to describe the sales volume of Plenity.

Product revenue, net

We recognize product revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, when we transfer promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

Our product revenue is derived from product sales of Plenity, net of estimates of variable consideration for which reserves are established for expected product returns, shipping charges to end-users, pharmacy dispensing and platform fees, merchant and processing fees, and promotional discounts offered to end-users.

Average selling price per unit, net

Average selling price per unit, net is the gross price per unit sold during the period net of estimates of per unit variable consideration for which reserves are established for expected product returns, shipping charges to end-users, pharmacy dispensing and platform fees, merchant and processing fees, and promotional discounts offered to end-users.

Gross profit and gross margin

Our gross profit represents product revenue, net, less our total cost of goods sold, and our gross margin is our gross profit expressed as a percentage of our product revenue, net. Our gross profit and gross margin have been and will continue to be affected by a number of factors, including the prices we charge for our product, the costs we incur from our vendors for certain components of our cost of goods sold, the mix of channel sales in a period, and our ability to sell our inventory.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is useful in evaluating our operating performance. We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as net (loss) income before depreciation and amortization expenses, provision for (benefit from) income taxes, interest expense, net, stock-based compensation and (gains) and losses related to changes in fair value of our warrant liability, our convertible promissory note liability, our tranche rights liability and the One S.r.l. call option. We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes because it facilitates internal comparisons of our historical operating performance. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measure, net loss, provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our business, results of operations, or outlook. We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be an important measure because it helps illustrate underlying trends in our business and our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is helpful to our investors as it is a metric used by management in assessing the health of our business and our operating performance.

However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of Adjusted EBITDA as a tool for comparison. A reconciliation is provided below for Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measure and the reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
