Financial Results and Provides Operational Update
and Early 2023 Accomplishments, Including Capital Raise, Cost Reductions and New Technology Acquisition, Set the Stage for Potential
to Host Conference Call Today at 5:00 pm ET
Colo., March 30, 2023 - Vivos
Therapeutics, Inc. ("Vivos" or the "Company'') (NASDAQ: VVOS), a medical device and technology company that
delivers training and a full line of highly effective proprietary oral appliances for the treatment of breathing related sleep disorders
in adults, including mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea ("OSA") and snoring, today reported financial results and operating
highlights for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022.
believes that its 2022 and early 2023 accomplishments, including the completion of a capital raise for net proceeds of approximately
$7.4 million, cost reductions and a new technology acquisition, has set the stage for potential 2023 revenue growth.
Quarter and Full Year 2022 Financial Highlights
previously disclosed, in November 2022, Vivos completed a detailed analysis of its revenue recognition policies which concluded that
although Vivos' previous technical application of ASC Topic 606, Revenue From Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"),
relating to the classification and recognition of aspects of Vivos' revenue required certain corrections, the net effect on the
Vivos' results of operations prior to 2022 was minimal.
should note that Vivos' reported financial results for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2022 reflect the application
of Vivos' ASC 606 revenue recognition policies, including deferral of a portion of revenue into future periods, resulting in an
uneven 2022 versus 2021 period over period comparisons which will not be repeated in future periods due to the consistent application
of Vivos' ASC 606 policies.
| Revenue was $4.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and $16.0 million for the full year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $4.4 million and $16.9 million for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2021, respectively, which in part reflects a deferral as of December 31, 2022 of approximately $2.5 million of Vivos Integrated Provider ("VIP") enrollment revenue into future periods under Vivos' ASC 606 revenue recognition policies. Vivos expects this revenue to be recognized during the next 17 months as performance obligations under its contracts with dentists are fulfilled; | ||
| Fourth quarter appliance revenue increased 21% as Vivos sold 2,938 total oral appliance arches, compared to 2,707 for the fourth quarter of 2021, and increased by 8% to 12,281 total oral appliance arches sold for the full year ended December 31, 2022, compared to 11,355 for the full year 2021; |
| Gross profit was $2.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and $10 million for the full year ended December 31, 2022, compared to gross profit of $3.1 million and $12.6 million for the comparable periods in 2021, respectively, attributable to higher costs associated with increased sales volume of our appliances and VIP enrollments and related to our new program (started in 2022) related to the sale and leasing of SleepImage home sleep test rings used as part of the VivoScore Program; | ||
| Gross margin was 60% for the fourth quarter of 2022 and 63% for the full year ended December 31, 2022, compared to 71% and 75% for the comparable periods in 2021, respectively, reflecting higher costs associated with appliances and VIP enrollments and new incentives deployed to increase VIP enrollments; and | ||
| Cash and cash equivalents were $3.5 million at December 31, 2022, but subsequent to year end, in January 2023, Vivos completed a private placement for net proceeds of approximately $7.4 million, to augment its liquidity position. |
Quarter 2022 and Recent Operating Highlights
| As of December 31 2022, patients treated with The Vivos Method totaled over 33,000, compared to approximately 25,000 as of the end of 2021. Vivos has also trained over 1,700 dentists in the use of The Vivos Method and Vivos' related value-added services, compared to over 1,450 as of the end of 2021; | ||
| In December 2022, Vivos announced a strategic relationship with Nexus Dental Systems, which combines Vivos' proprietary out-of-network Billing Intelligence Service with the Nexus' in-network medical billing platform to create what is expected to be one of the most comprehensive medical billing services in the dental industry. This collaboration is expected to provide both companies' provider networks with greater access to both in or out-of-network billing with all major medical insurance companies, facilitating case acceptances, insurance billing procedures and reimbursement; | ||
| In December 2022, Vivos received a new clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for its proprietary daytime-nighttime appliance ("DNA"). The FDA 510(k) clearance for the DNA appliance as a Class II device gives rise to a completely new treatment regimen for mild-to-moderate OSA in adults. Making this development even more meaningful is that the DNA device for palatal expansion is Vivos' longest standing appliance with the widest use among Vivos-trained dentists, which Vivos anticipates will now increase the ease of adoption of the DNA for treating OSA. The DNA is the only oral appliance ever to receive FDA clearance to treat OSA without mandibular advancement as its primary mechanism of action; and | ||
| In February 2023, Vivos acquired certain U.S. and international patents, product rights, and other miscellaneous intellectual property from Advanced Facialdontics, LLC ("AFD"), a company holding propriety technology with FDA 510(k) clearances for Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction ("TMD") and Bruxism (unconscious teeth grinding and clenching). With this asset purchase transaction, Vivos acquired recently issued U.S. patents, provisional patent applications as well as International patents, Patent Cooperation Treaty patents and patent applications, thus expanding its product portfolio and revenue potential. |
was a year of both significant challenges and achievements for Vivos where we took actions to increase efficiencies throughout our operations
and improve our cost structure to work more effectively with dentists and medical professionals in a post-COVID-19 world," stated
Kirk Huntsman, Vivos' Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "During this same time, we also completed an extensive revenue
recognition review process with relatively minimal net effect for us. Now that these challenges are behind us, we have become a much
stronger, leaner and more efficient organization than we were prior to the pandemic."
we move forward in 2023, we are focused on leveraging our core strengths and proprietary technology, while also creating new and diverse
revenue streams to strengthen our market position and accelerate our growth. Our recent acquisition of product rights & patents from
AFD is a key part of this, as we can now reach a broader consumer base with an expanded product portfolio for OSA patients seeking relief
from the pain and other symptoms associated with TMD and Bruxism. These new, higher margin products complement our existing product portfolio
and provide dentists with additional treatment methods that require less training and offer patients lower cost points of entry."
adding these new technologies, patent portfolio and product rights from AFD to Vivos existing intellectual property and oral devices
with The Vivos Method, we now have a product and treatment path available for the vast majority of patients. In addition, we can offer
a more diverse product offering to larger organizations including Durable Medical Equipment (known as DME) companies and Dental Service
Organizations (known as DSOs). With our expanded product portfolio and wider range of price points, in 2023 we expect to see more dentists
than ever before becoming customers of Vivos products and services," Mr. Huntsman concluded.
encourages investors and other interested parties to join its conference call today at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time (details below), where
management will discuss further details on topics including: (i) the acquisition of product rights & patents from AFD, Vivos'
expanded product line and revenue potential, (ii) the potential significant impact of Vivos' recent discussions with DME companies
on the Company's near-term growth, (iii) an update on Vivos' DSO sales and marketing efforts; (iv) additional programs for
dentists to enroll with Vivos, and (v) Vivos' current cash position and actions taken to reduce cash burn.
