Domestic or International, You Should be Looking to Enroll in Nine University’s Amazon FBA Program During COVID-19

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / August 13, 2020 / Nine University has gained significant traction these past six-months, as sellers are turning their attention to online programs like Amazon FBA. But what is so special about these programs? Arguably, nothing. It's the skills these sellers are bringing with them, from the right coaches who know what it means to truly thrive in today's e-commerce platforms, especially given our global coronavirus pandemic.

Image credit: Payoneer

Nine University, launched by Kale Abrahamson and Taylor Hiott, helps train buyers and sellers how to navigate Amazon's FBA program. Back in January, Abrahamson and Hiott spoke with Forbes about why programs like Nine University are becoming essential for third-party sellers to thrive.

"For years Amazon has had a Brand Registry where a company could become more official on Amazon. That was the highest you could go there," Abrahamson explained. "Now it sounds like they are taking that to a whole other level."

In a recent interview with Grit Daily, Abrahamson explained that as it pertains to Amazon's current landscape, over two-thirds (69%) of Amazon sellers are men, while just over one-quarter (26%) are women.

But while this is a program that any woman or man can succeed in, sellers are not all created equal when we are talking about the necessary skill sets required to thrive, especially during COVID-19.

#1 – Find a Suitable Market to Pierce

Entering into this space requires the seller to genuinely differentiate themselves. There are much better things to sell on Amazon FBA, Abrahamson believes, referring to Nine University's proprietary software which helps make that possible.

But generally speaking, Nine University encourages its students to stay away from clothing and apparel, whether you are a male or female. "That category has many of the opposite characteristics that we teach our students to look for, such as low margins, extremely well-branded and deep-pocketed competition, and tons of sizes which means tons of SKUs and inventory headaches."

Yet, as Amazon continues to grow and expand its reach (especially during this pandemic), there are still challenges for both the domestic and international markets when it comes to e-commerce.

"It's always product product product," Abrahamson explains, adding that "you must select the right product for that market, and base it on data rather than opinion. At Nine University, we have proprietary software and live consultants 24/7 who help vet these product choices, so you don't end up selling something with too much competition, not enough demand, and/or simply not enough ROI for you to actually make money."

#2 – Find an Experienced Mentor/Coach

And adding to Abrahamson's point above, you are nearly guaranteed to fail if you attempt to shortcut and just bring on anyone as your coach or tutor. Hiring a crappy coach, according to the CEO, is the first challenge to overcome that you want to get out of the way early on.

In our conversation with Abrahamson, it's nearly impossible to succeed in Amazon's FBA program without some sort of guide. Oh and if you are looking at out-of-date piecemeal YouTube videos, you will fail. Learn to search the tube for tailored videos–because they may not all be on the first page, you know.

#3 – Accept Your Competition (Otherwise You Just Look Foolish)

Another major no no is recognizing your competition, but ignoring them. Why on earth would you ever do that? Only by studying them, their product, technique and marketing strategies can you build and maintain a strong enough infrastructure so as to compete effectively.

Otherwise, your dogmatic, narrow view of how your competition thrives (or fails) only sets you up for failure. By embracing Amazon's FBA program in both a domestic and international market, a seller can still demonstrate market attractiveness and relevance.

"It may be the only thing that keeps you relevant during this day and age," Abrahamson says. "Amazon is absolutely dominant in the U.S. online marketplace, and looks to be headed that direction aggressively overseas. The real question is, can you afford to avoid or ignore Amazon as it takes an ever-increasing market share?"

At the end of the day, Amazon yields some extremely favorable advantages.

"Honestly, just the fact that Amazon now allows us to use their ridiculous, never-before-seen-in-this-world infrastructure," is one of those appeals. "By attaching yourself to Amazon and letting it handle all the fulfillment side of things (storage, order processing, shipping, etc.), you've basically turned your small company into a trillion-dollar enterprise that is capable of delivering goods to customers houses in hours in some cases (rather than days or weeks)."

And that capability, according to Abrahamson, in combination with the trust that Amazon pulls, should never be discounted. "Nine University coaches businesses to piggyback off the most trusted brand name in history (e.g. Amazon), while also building their own brand ‘behind the scenes' so that they can someday expand off of Amazon if they ever want to. However, many of our students make 6 and 7 figures simply by selling on Amazon. They never create a website or run a single line of code. And they work a few hours a week once everything is scaled up. Pretty incredible."

Oceanographer Dr. David Hastings Explains How Global Warming is Making Hurricanes Stronger

More rain, higher wind speeds, and increased storm surge all add up to more destruction caused by hurricanes, warns oceanographer and retired professor, Dr. David Hastings.

GAINESVILLE, FL / ACCESSWIRE / August 13, 2020 / Major hurricanes are the costliest natural weather disasters. Recently, major hurricanes have incurred over $100 billion in damages. How has human influence affected these remarkable costs? here is evidence that the unnatural influence of human-driven climate change is making hurricanes stronger and more destructive than ever before.

Hurricanes form from the massive amount of energy derived from water evaporating from warm ocean water. These storms suck heat from tropical waters. Warm ocean air rises, causing air to rush in below. In the clouds overhead, water condenses, water droplets form, releasing even more heat to power the storm.

"The latest research reveals that these upward trends are likely to continue climbing as long as the climate continues warming," warns Dr. David Hastings. "Hurricanes are caused by small atmospheric disturbances in warm tropical oceans. If the water is warm enough, over 80F, and atmospheric conditions are just right with steady winds, adequate moisture and little or no wind shear, a tropical storm is born – and can grow in strength. Once winds rise to over 74 mph, we call the storm a hurricane."

Hurricanes Aren't Becoming More Frequent – But They Are Getting Stronger Says Dr. David Hastings

Studies consistently agree that there is no clear trend in the number of hurricanes recorded globally. "You would think that as water temperatures continue to rise due to global warming, the conditions required for hurricanes to form would become more favorable and therefore cause more of them to form," says Dr. David Hastings. "But computer models of the ocean-atmosphere system embraced and validated by scientific community reveal that storm intensity will increase while frequency decreases or holds steady."

A study done in 2013 found substantial regional and global increases in category 4 and 5 hurricanes – the strongest levels on the Saffir-Simpson scale. The study concluded that the proportion of category 4-5 hurricanes increased 25-30% per degree (C) of human-induced global warming.

"Even more alarming are the model predictions that hurricanes will routinely reach wind speeds well above those defined as category 5 hurricanes," says Dr. David Hastings. The model used in the study, HiFLOR, is one of the most advanced climate models in the world and it is used to make predictions about how current climate conditions will affect weather patterns well into the future.

"Based on these model predictions, we're going to have to create a sixth category to describe hurricane strengths within the next 20-50 years," says Dr. David Hastings.

David Hastings is a chemical oceanographer and marine geochemist and a retired marine science and chemistry professor from Eckerd College. After studying chemistry at Princeton University, Dr. Hastings pursued his Ph.D. in chemical oceanography at the University of Washington. Dr. Hastings believes that it is imperative for scientists to engage actively in policy conversations concerning climate change with both the public and elected officials in order to effect meaningful change.

ADOMANI(R) Reports Second Quarter 2020 Results

CORONA, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 13, 2020 / ADOMANI, Inc. (OTCQB:ADOM), a provider of new zero-emission, purpose-built vehicles and drivetrain solutions, today announced its results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.

Quarterly and Recent Developments

Sold an all-electric, zero-emission logistics van to SnowCap Community Charities in Fairview, Oregon in June. The EV van will be used to deliver food and collect donations to benefit residents in the SnowCap service area.

Received a purchase order from the City of Palmdale, California in June for one all-electric, zero-emission logistics van. The van was delivered in July. The EV van will be in service for the South Antelope Valley Emergency Services (SAVES) program that is dedicated to alleviating hunger among very low and extremely low-income residents of the SAVES service area in a number of south Antelope Valley communities.

In August, we received final approval as a dealer for our products in the New York Truck Voucher Incentive Program ("NYTVIP"), which funds up to $100,000 per vehicle. We also shortly expect to be approved in the New York City Clean Trucks Program, which requires being approved for NYTVIP.

In June, we announced our membership in the National Zero-Emission Truck (ZET) Coalition, a CALSTART-organized and diverse group of stakeholders across the clean commercial vehicle supply chain advocating for federal investments in commercial zero-emission vehicle infrastructures.

We applaud the California Air Resources Board's ("CARB") first-in-the-world rule requiring truck manufacturers to transition from diesel trucks and cargo vans to electric zero-emission vehicles beginning in 2024.

Continued to respond and adapt to many legal and regulatory changes resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, such as shelter-in-place orders, travel, social distancing and quarantine policies, boycotts, curtailment of trade, and other business restrictions affecting our ability to assemble and sell our products, and provide our services.

Received an Economic Injury Disaster Loan and a Paycheck Protection Program loan in May under the Small Business Association loan programs authorized by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business.

Backlog at June 30, 2020 was $3.0 million.

Continued to work, in connection with an experienced lobbyist hired by us to supplement our efforts, with CARB's Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project ("HVIP") and other state agencies to resolve the egregious administrative delays and the resulting lack of access to HVIP funds that have to-date prevented us from not only delivering available vehicle inventory to customers with purchase orders, but have also impaired our ability to obtain new orders. In particular, such administrative delays caused the HVIP certification for our trucks and vans to take eight months instead of the usual eight weeks. As a result, we did not receive HVIP certification until October 23, 2019, which was eight days after the deadline for us to submit voucher requests under the program in 2019, thereby denying us and our customers access to such funds until additional amounts are made available under the program, which additional funding is currently not expected to occur until late this year.

Following the relaxation of applicable state and local COVID-19 restrictions, resumed showcasing our all-electric commercial trucks and vans in ride-and-drive events, including also introducing them to a number of private fleet operators in the delivery and trucking industry.

Signed a Letter of Intent ("LOI") in April to purchase 120 FireFly ESV vehicles from Massachusetts-based ev Transportation Services, Inc ("evTS"), beginning late summer 2020, subject to the parties entering into related definitive agreements and certain other contingencies contemplated by the LOI. Pursuant to the LOI, we intend to discuss a potential business arrangement with evTS, whereby we would serve as a distributor in California for their current and future all-electric vehicle offerings, including the FireFly ESV and other vehicles as they are developed. In addition, it is contemplated by the LOI that evTS will discuss entering into a contract with us to perform final assembly, testing and warranty servicing of its vehicles.
We continue to be excited about a number of new international opportunities that we learned about in 2019 in Ukraine, Mexico, South America and a number of other countries and have been investigating them diligently. However, progress on all these opportunities has been significantly slowed down by the COVID-19 virus impacts in these countries as well. While we remain confident that a number of them may develop into projects, we continue to work through the laborious process as of the date of this release.

Our e-trike activity in the Philippines has also been severely impacted by COVID-19 restrictions affecting our supply chain, our manufacturing activity, and our ability to travel to the island on which our initial 10 e-trikes were placed in service. Significant damage to the island's economy has occurred as a result of travel restrictions slowing tourism to a halt.

Jim Reynolds, CEO of ADOMANI, commented, "The COVID-19 virus impact on our business has been significant. We support the government's efforts to slow the spread of the virus while medical researchers try to create a vaccine, and we hope the relaxation of some of the restrictions happen soon, but that is out of our control. We remain convinced, however, that our biggest obstacle to success has been and remains the temporary inability for ADOMANI, a licensed California dealer for EV products and HVIP-certified since late October 2019, and our customers to access HVIP funding as a result of what we believe were serious administrative missteps by CARB and HVIP in 2019 that have made it impossible for us to deliver product that we have had since late 2019 to customers whose orders constitute the bulk of our backlog. We continue to believe that if those issues can be addressed and funds made available to us and our customers, we will benefit in 2020 and 2021 from additional diversification of both our customer base and our product offerings. We believe that our efforts, including our engagement of an experienced California lobbying firm, are making progress toward freeing up some HVIP funds for us and any other companies in a similar situation. However, access to the HVIP funds may not be made available to us and others until ‘late 2020,' per the HVIP website.

We also believe that access to HVIP funding would result in a significant increase in orders and backlog once the many interested parties we have demonstrated our electric vehicles to know they can benefit from the buy-down funds. Additional incentive funds that we expect will also be available in 2020 and will spur demand for electric vehicles include, among other potential available incentives, California Energy Commission funding for zero-emission all-electric vehicles; additional grant funding available from states such as Michigan, Indiana, Florida, and New York, through the NYTVIP and New York City's Clean Trucks Program; programs for electric infrastructure from utilities in California and a number of other states; as well as the release of millions from available Volkswagen settlement funding, which we believe will allow us to accelerate accepting orders for our new trucks, cargo vans and chassis, with deliveries potentially starting as early as the fourth quarter 2020.

We continue to believe that, if we are able to free up HVIP, NYTVIP and other funding, resume our sales and marketing efforts that have been severely curtailed by the COVID-19 virus restrictions, and effectively execute our revised, more conservative business plan and capitalize on the opportunities that are presented to us, we will be profitable, hopefully by mid-2021."

Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results
Sales, severely impacted by the HVIP-created administrative delays and subsequent denying us access to funding, were approximately $130,000 and $413,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to $4.4 million and $4.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

Cost of sales were approximately $83,000 and $163,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to $4.1 million and $4.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2020 were approximately $1.1 million, compared to approximately $1.5 million for the corresponding three-month period of 2019, a decrease of $400,000, which was primarily related to a $229,000 decrease in non-cash stock-based compensation expense in the current year period and to decreases in legal and investor relations expenses. The second quarter 2020 general and administrative expenses include approximately $158,000 in non-cash charges, including $100,000 in bad debt expense and $46,000 in stock-based compensation expense.

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were approximately $2.5 million, compared to approximately $2.9 million for the corresponding six-month period of 2019, a decrease of $400,000, which was primarily related to a $282,000 decrease in non-cash stock-based compensation expense in the current year period and to decreases in investor relations expenses. The six month 2020 general and administrative expenses include approximately $370,000 in non-cash charges, including $246,000 in stock-based compensation expense and $100,000 in bad debt expense.

Consulting expenses were $58,000 and $102,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, as compared to $77,000 and $154,000, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 2019, which decreases were primarily a result of the absence of grant application and tax credit consulting expenses incurred in 2019 that were not incurred in 2020. Consulting expenses include non-cash charges of approximately $26,000 and $41,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

Research and development expenses were $0 for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, as compared to $103,000 and $148,000, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 2019, which decreases were primarily attributable to certain supply chain expenditures made for research and development activity in 2019.

GAINESVILLE, FL / ACCESSWIRE / August 13, 2020 / SharpSpring, Inc. (NASDAQ:SHSP), a leading cloud-based marketing and sales automation platform, reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.

Second Quarter 2020 and Recent Operational Highlights

Added 276 new SharpSpring customers, of which 81% were agency customers, who selected the platform to generate leads, convert more leads to sales and measure the ROI of their marketing campaigns. Average annual recurring revenue (ARR) per customer acquired in second quarter of 2020 improved approximately 11% compared to the second quarter of 2019 as a result of landing larger customers.

On a year-over-year basis, Q2 2020 net revenue retention was 91.6%, when compared to the second quarter of 2019. On a monthly basis, second quarter 2020 average net revenue retention was 97.6%.

The Perfect Audience platform ended the quarter with more than 1,200 customers.

Further strengthened the management team by adding former Salesforce Marketing Cloud executive and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) industry veteran Chip House as the Company's Chief Marketing Officer (CMO).

Recognized by two of the leading software review platforms, earning placement as a 2020 Best Software Award winner on G2 and a Top Rated Marketing Automation Software for 2020 on TrustRadius.

Launched Agency Acceleration Series with top digital marketing experts leading speaker line-up, including superstar industry influencers like Neil Patel, Shama Hyder, Rand Fishkin, Ann Handley, and Seth Godin.

Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Total revenue increased 32% to a record $7.3 million from $5.5 million in the same year-ago period.

Gross profit increased 39% to a record $5.4 million (74% of total revenue) from $3.9 million (71% of total revenue) in the same year-ago period.

Net loss was $970,000, or $0.08 per share, compared to net loss of $4.2 million, or $0.41 per share, in the same year-ago period.

Adjusted EBITDA loss (a non-GAAP metric reconciled below) totaled $122,000, compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.7 million in the same year-ago period.

Core net loss (a non-GAAP metric reconciled below) totaled $381,000, or $0.03 per share, compared to core net loss of $1.9 million, or $0.19 per share, in the same year-ago period.

At quarter-end, the Company had $15.3 million in cash, compared to $11.9 million at December 31, 2019.

2020 Financial Outlook

The Company expects total revenue of approximately $29.5 to $30.5 million, which would represent an increase of 32% compared to the prior year. The Company's guidance is based on recurring revenue from its current customer base and performance results tracked through July of this year. These expectations also include an anticipated impact from the COVID-19 global pandemic based on information available as of the date of this report.

Management Commentary

"In the second quarter of 2020 we built on our strong start to the year and continued to generate consistent results, both in new customer wins and in many of our key operating metrics," said SharpSpring CEO Rick Carlson. "More specifically, the 276 new customers we secured during the period represented approximately $2.2 million in annual recurring revenue, a healthy improvement over last year, which was driven by the introduction and successful execution of larger contracts with several new agencies as well as a return to a more regular deal flow later in the quarter. Additionally, thanks to our ongoing cost reduction measures implemented in conjunction with our comprehensive COVID-19 response plan, we drove healthy improvements in our margins and overall profitability.

"In the uncertain environment we find ourselves, our goal is to be even more deliberate with our spend and more direct with our approach to sales. To that end, we have been focusing our efforts in recent quarters on making SharpSpring a primarily ‘sales-oriented' business, which has already led to a more efficient and effective lead conversion process. Going forward, we'll be looking to make additional investments in growing our brand awareness to drive more organic lead growth in support of our outbound business development initiatives. Heading into the back half of the year, we remain confident in our ability to drive incrementally improved performance and are well-positioned to benefit from the ongoing shift to more digital, remote work."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA, core net loss and core net loss per share are "non-GAAP financial measures" presented as supplemental measures of the Company's performance. These metrics are not presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. The Company believes these measures provide additional meaningful information in evaluating its performance over time. However, the measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP. A reconciliation of net loss to these measures is included for your reference in the financial section of this earnings press release.

You can identify these statements by use of the words "may," "will," "should," "plans," "explores," "expects," "anticipates," "continues," "estimates," "projects," "intends," and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control.

Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, general economic and business conditions, effects of continued geopolitical unrest and regional conflicts, competition, changes in technology and methods of marketing, delays in completing new customer offerings, changes in customer order patterns, changes in customer offering mix, continued success in technological advances and delivering technological innovations, our ability to successfully utilize our cash to develop current and future products, delays due to issues with outsourced service providers, those events and factors described by us in Item 1. A "Risk Factors" in our most recent Form 10-K and other risks to which our company is subject, and various other factors beyond the Company's control. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this press release is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

TechPrecision Corporation Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2021 Financial Results

WESTMINSTER, MA / ACCESSWIRE / August 13, 2020 / TechPrecision Corporation (OTCQB:TPCS) ("TechPrecision" or "the Company"), an industry-leading manufacturer of precision, large-scale fabricated and machined metal components and tested systems with customers in the defense and precision industrial sectors, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2020. Fiscal 2021 first quarter sales were $3.3 million compared to $4.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The Company recorded a net loss of $116,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, compared to net income of $221,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

"As we discussed at the end of fiscal 2020, we have learning-curve challenges on a limited number of projects in the manufacturing schedule, resulting in an unfavorable financial impact. These projects as well as an unfavorable mix of other lower-margin projects contributed to our net loss in the first quarter of fiscal 2021," stated Alexander Shen, TechPrecision's Chief Executive Officer. "The project mix also contributed to slower project turnover, dampening revenue during the first quarter. We do, however, expect overall improvement in revenues and margins during the remainder of fiscal 2021."

"The Company's sales order backlog was $14.4 million on June 30, 2020 compared with $16.8 million on March 31, 2020." stated Mr. Shen. "We continue to replenish backlog as we booked over $4.0 million of new orders in the month of July."

First Quarter of Fiscal 2021 Financial Results

Net sales were $3.3 million or 24% lower when compared to $4.3 million in the same quarter a year ago.
Cost of sales were 20% lower than the same quarter a year ago, primarily due to lower revenues.
Gross profit was $0.7 million, down $0.4 million from the same quarter last year.
Gross margin was 21.2%, down from 25.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 due to slower project turnover.
Operating loss was $96,000, compared to operating income of $368,000 in the same period a year ago.
Net loss was $116,000, compared to net income of $221,000 for the same period a year ago.
EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $74,000, compared to $577,000 in the same period last year.

Financial Position

At June 30, 2020, TechPrecision had $1.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $0.9 million since March 31, 2020.

On April 3, 2020, as a precautionary measure due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, we drew down $1.0 million under our existing revolver loan with Berkshire Bank, which was repaid in full on June 30, 2020. In addition, on May 8, 2020, the Company issued a promissory note evidencing an unsecured loan in the amount of $1.3 million under the Paycheck Protection Program, or the PPP. The PPP was established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The loan was made through Berkshire Bank, and the Company received $1.3 million of proceeds on May 11, 2020.

Working capital was $6.4 million compared to working capital of $5.6 million at March 31, 2020. The Company has access to additional capital via the existing revolver loan should management determine it needs to bolster liquidity as the Company manages through the effects of the pandemic.

COVID-19 Update

At the end of March of 2020, the outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19) had spread worldwide as a pandemic. The full extent of the outbreak, related business and travel restrictions and changes to social behavior intended to reduce its spread remain uncertain as the health crisis continues to evolve in the U.S. and abroad. The directives imposed by federal, state and local governments did not impair our ability to maintain operations during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 or the first quarter of fiscal 2021 as the Company was designated an "Essential Service." However, the pandemic has negatively affected the Company's customers, suppliers and labor force, resulting in a number of inspection and approval delays for certain projects caused by new or enhanced mandated safety precautions. Accordingly, as conditions continue to change as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, the impact on our operations and financial results for the remainder of fiscal 2021 remains uncertain.

Viveve Reports Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update

Advanced critical SUI feasibility study for late summer readout
Achieved FDA clearance to conduct pivotal SUI PURSUIT Trial
Company to host conference call at 5:00 PM ET today

ENGLEWOOD, CO / ACCESSWIRE / August 13, 2020 / Viveve Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ:VIVE), a medical technology company focused on women's intimate health, today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, and will provide a corporate update on its scheduled conference call at 5:00 PM ET today.

During the second quarter of 2020 Viveve experienced the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on business operations, particularly in the United States. Significant organizational reductions and operational efficiencies, designed to reduce cash burn, were initiated by the Company late in the first quarter of 2020 and were in effect throughout the second quarter and have continued into the third quarter.

Q2 2020 and Recent Business Highlights

Reported $704 thousand in total revenue for the second quarter 2020 with a global installed base of 855 Viveve® Systems as of June 30, 2020;
Received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of the Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) to conduct the pivotal PURSUIT clinical trial for improvement of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women;
Continued to advance the fully enrolled 3-arm SUI feasibility study;
Announced regulatory approval in Thailand of the Viveve 2.0 next-generation system and consumable treatment tips, expanding its commercial availability throughout the Asia Pacific region; and
Executed significant organizational realignments and operational measures to reduce costs, and secured additional capital to strengthen the balance sheet to support sustainability during the continuing COVID-19 crisis.

"The COVID-19 crisis continues to present challenges to our commercial operations, but the environment is improving. With a focus on our existing customers, our talented and dedicated team has enabled the Company to meet these challenges head-on. During this time, we achieved significant regulatory milestones including FDA clearance to conduct the PURSUIT trial and advancement of our SUI feasibility study targeted for readout in the coming weeks. We are continuing to provide excellent customer service and support even as many members of our team work remotely. As we plan for the months ahead, the health, safety and well-being of our employees, customers and associates will remain our priority," said Scott Durbin, Viveve's chief executive officer. "I am proud of the entire Viveve organization and confident that we will continue to make rapid progress in our efforts to advance our Cryogen-cooled Monopolar Radiofrequency (CMRF) technology in pursuit of a SUI indication in the U.S."

Q2 2020 Financial Results

Revenue for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020 totaled $704 thousand from the global placement of six Viveve Systems and global sales of approximately 1,600 disposable treatment tips, compared to revenue of $1.1 million for the same period in 2019. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had an installed base of 855 Viveve Systems worldwide, 481 in the U.S. and 374 internationally.

Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2020 were $4.6 million, down from $8.4 million for the same period in 2019. The decrease is a result of the Company's organizational realignments, commercial team reduction, and additional cost-saving efforts executed in response to the impact of the COVID-19 crisis.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders (including a one-time, noncash charge for the modification of Series A and B warrants of $1.8 million) for the second quarter of 2020 was $8.1 million, or ($0.57) per share, compared to a net loss of $9.7 million, or ($20.93) per share, for the same period in 2019.

Cash and cash equivalents were $8.5 million as of June 30, 2020, compared to $9.0 million as of March 31, 2020.

The Company will host a conference call and webcast at 5:00 PM ET today.

About Viveve

Viveve Medical, Inc. is a medical technology company focused on women's intimate health. Viveve is committed to advancing new solutions to improve women's overall well-being and quality of life. The internationally patented Viveve® System incorporates Cryogen-cooled Monopolar Radiofrequency (CMRF) technology to uniformly deliver volumetric heating while gently cooling surface tissue to generate neocollagenesis in a single in-office session. In the United States, 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 indications in more than 50 countries.

Viveve continues to advance its clinical development program in SUI and is conducting a short-term feasibility study under an Investigational Testing Application approved by the Canadian Ministry of Health. The feasibility study is a single-blind, three-arm study to compare Viveve's CMRF treatment and a cryogen-only sham to an inert sham treatment in order to capture short-term safety and effectiveness data on use of the Viveve System for the improvement of SUI in women. Subject enrollment in the study was completed in March 2020. Results of the SUI feasibility study are targeted for readout in late summer of 2020. If positive, the feasibility study results could support the initiation of the pivotal PURSUIT Trial. As announced on July 7, 2020, Viveve received FDA approval of its Investigational Device Exemption application to conduct the multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, sham-controlled PURSUIT Trial for improvement of SUI in women.
