ReShape Lifesciences® Reports First Quarter Ended March 31, 2025 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update

IRVINE, Calif., May 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ReShape Lifesciences Inc. (Nasdaq: RSLS), the premier physician-led weight loss and metabolic health-solutions company, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025 and provided a corporate strategic update. First Quarter 2025 and Subsequent Highlights On July 8, 2024, ReShape Lifesciences Inc. entered into a definitive merger agreement with Vyome, under which ReShape and Vyome will combine in an all-stock transaction. At the closing of the merger, ReShape will be renamed Vyome Holdings, Inc. and expects to trade under the Nasdaq ticker symbol 'HIND,' representing the company's alignment with the U.S.-India relationship. The board of directors of the combined company will be comprised of six directors designated by Vyome and one director designated by ReShape, and executive management of the combined company will consist of Vyome's executive officers. Simultaneously with the execution of the merger agreement, ReShape entered into an asset purchase agreement with Biorad, which was amended on April 25, 2025, which is party to a previously disclosed exclusive license agreement with ReShape for ReShape's Obalon® Gastric Balloon System. Pursuant to the asset purchase agreement, ReShape will sell substantially all of its assets to Biorad (or an affiliate thereof), including ReShape's Lap-Band® System, Obalon® Gastric Balloon System and the Diabetes Bloc-Stim Neuromodulation™ (DBSN™) System (but excluding cash), and Biorad will assume substantially all of ReShape's liabilities. The cash purchase price under the asset purchase agreement will count toward ReShape's net cash for purposes of determining the post-merger ownership allocation between ReShape and Vyome stockholders under the merger agreement. 'The first quarter of 2025 and the months that followed have marked a period of strong momentum for ReShape, both operationally and strategically,' stated Paul F. Hickey, President and Chief Executive Officer of ReShape Lifesciences®. 'We continued to expand access to our portfolio of physician-led, minimally invasive weight-loss solutions, highlighted by a new distribution agreement with Liaison Medical to launch our enhanced Lap-Band® 2.0 FLEX to the Canadian market. This partnership, following our Health Canada approval in late 2024, is a significant milestone in delivering effective, less-invasive alternatives to bariatric surgery to broader global patient base. We also expanded our product portfolio through an exclusive U.S. distribution agreement for Motion Informatics' next-generation neuromuscular rehabilitation devices, further broadening our portfolio of innovative medical devices. 'At the same time, we strengthened our leadership in diabetes innovation by presenting promising pre-clinical data on our Diabetes Neuromodulation device at the 12th Annual Minnesota Neuromodulation Symposium, in a featured poster presentation, showcasing the potential of our proprietary vagus neuromodulation technology platform. Further strengthening our position, the Diabetes Neuromodulation system received significant intellectual property protection, including multiple Notices of Allowance from the USPTO and a pivotal international patent from the Israel Patent Office. These patents extend our intellectual property coverage through at least 2039, underscoring our leadership in addressing both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes through neuromodulation and its close association with obesity. We also received a Notice of Allowance for our intragastric device patent, which covers a next-generation, self-deflating, swallowable balloon system—an important addition to our metabolic health platform. As our patent portfolio grows, we remain committed to protecting our position and, when appropriate, will pursue strategic, non-dilutive funding to support this objective.' Mr. Hickey concluded, 'The successful completion of our $6.0 million public offering in February strengthens our financial foundation as we continue to execute on our growth initiatives. Finally, we are making continued progress toward finalizing our merger with Vyome and the asset sale to Biorad Medisys. The S-4 was recently declared effective and we are working to set the record date in the near future. Our Board unanimously supports this transformative transaction, which we believe will unlock long-term value for shareholders and drive accelerated growth for the newly combined company.' First Quarter Ended March 31, 2025, Financial and Operating Results Revenue $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which represents a contraction of 42.7%, or $0.8 million compared to the same period in 2024. This primarily resulted from a decrease in sales volume primarily due to GLP-1 pharmaceutical weight-loss alternatives as well as a temporary pause in DTC marketing programs. Gross Profit for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, was $0.7 million, and $1.2 million, respectively. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was 61.2% compared to 59.9% for the same period in 2024. The increase in gross profit percentage is due to the reduction in overhead related costs, primarily payroll. Sales and Marketing Expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025, decreased by $0.5 million, or 48.1%, to $0.5 million, compared to $1.0 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in advertising and marketing expenses, including consulting and professional marketing services. General and Administrative Expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025, decreased by approximately $0.3 million, or 13.1%, to $1.6 million, compared to $1.9 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease is primarily due to a $0.4 million reduction in general legal, audit, and other professional fees, as the Company reduced its reliance on consultants and professional services to conserve cash. Research and Development Expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025, decreased by $0.1 million, or 24.8% to $0.4 million, compared to approximately $0.5 million for the same period in the prior year. Transaction Costs for the three months ended March 31, 2025, were $0.4 million. These expenses primarily consisted of legal and audit-related fees incurred in connection with the Company's pending merger and asset sale. Gain on changes in fair value of liability warrants for the three months ended March 31, 2025 of $3.7 million is related to the change in fair value of liability-classified warrants issued in connection with the Company's February 2025 public offering.
