As we move forward in 2021, our commercial and market development efforts will continue to target increased adoption of the Viveve System by core medical specialists in urology, urogynecology, and gynecology in the U.S. and Asia Pacific regions," concluded Mr. Durbin.

Q1 2020 Financial Results
Revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 totaled $1.5 million from the sale of 8 Viveve Systems and approximately 2,450 disposable treatment tips, compared to revenue of $1.3 million for the same period in 2020. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had an installed base of 860 Viveve Systems worldwide, 456 in the U.S. and 404 internationally.

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2021 was $0.4 million, or 26% of revenue, compared to gross profit of $0.2 million or 13% of revenue, for the same period in 2020.

Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2021 were $5.5 million, compared to $6.0 million for the same period in 2020. The decrease is mainly a result of the Company's organizational realignment to focus efforts to advance our SUI clinical development program and operational measures to lower costs and reduce cash burn in response to the continuing economic conditions caused by the COVID-19 crisis.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the first quarter of 2021 was $6.9 million, or ($0.80) per share based on 8,636,120 weighted average shares outstanding during the period, compared to a net loss of $7.3 million, or ($8.17) per share, for the same period in 2020 based on 893,079 weighted average shares outstanding during the period (adjusted for the Company's 1-for-10 reverse stock split in December 2020).

Cash and cash equivalents were $28.4 million as of March 31, 2021, compared to $6.5 million as of December 31, 2020.

The recent Viveve Annual Meeting of Stockholders was adjourned to June 2, 2021 at 12:00 PM ET due to a lack of quorum. All shareholders of record are encouraged to vote.

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 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. Recently reported FDA approved changes to the U.S. pivotal PURSUIT trial protocol are intended to strengthen the overall study and its potential to achieve its primary efficacy endpoint. Study changes including an increase in the trial's size and more strict patient selection criteria were a result of guidance from Viveve's Clinical Advisory Board upon review of positive results from the Company's SUI feasibility and preclinical studies. Viveve received FDA approval of its 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 amendments to the IDE protocol as reported on December 10, 2020. Initiation of the trial was reported on January 21, 2021 and subject enrollment is underway. If positive, results from the PURSUIT trial may support a new SUI indication in the U.S.
