Allurion Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Financial Results and Reiterates 2024 Guidance

March 21, 2024

NATICK, Mass.-- (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Allurion Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: ALUR) (“Allurion”), a company dedicated to ending obesity, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023, and reiterated 2024 guidance.

Fourth Quarter Highlights and Outlook

•Reiterating 2024 guidance on procedural volume, revenue, gross margin, and cash burn

•Fourth quarter revenue of $8.2 million and full year 2023 revenue of $53.5 million, consistent with preannouncement on January 8

•Procedural volume, as estimated through new app users, increased by 30% over 2022, reflecting robust demand for the Allurion Program

•Completed enrollment in the AUDACITY pivotal trial ahead of schedule, a critical milestone for the premarket approval (PMA) application for the Allurion Balloon to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

•Conducted research on 172 healthcare professionals and 1,663 patients that demonstrated a positive impact of GLP-1s and other anti-obesity medications on the awareness of the Allurion Program

•Treated the first patients with the Allurion Balloon who were fully reimbursed by the UK NHS

•Implemented a strategic cost reduction effort expected to reduce cash burn to approximately $30 million in 2024

"Despite our fourth quarter being impacted by macroeconomic conditions and the surge of attention paid to GLP-1 drugs, over the course of 2023, we saw strong procedural volume growth, which we believe demonstrates robust underlying consumer demand for the Allurion Program," said Shantanu Gaur, Chief Executive Officer. “As we begin 2024, this demand has continued to increase, and we have seen improvement in some of the macro conditions that negatively impacted the fourth quarter. To take advantage of this, we have also taken meaningful steps to reduce our expense structure and provide increased operational flexibility.

“As we look ahead, we are excited by the considerable attention the weight management space has received and the significant growth in overall market opportunity we believe this presents Allurion,” continued Gaur. “Whether used in combination with a GLP-1 drug or as an alternative, we believe, and our research indicates, the Allurion Program benefits from this heightened market attention and provides a more comprehensive solution for the more than one billion people suffering from obesity globally.”

Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Total revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, was $8.2 million compared to $19.2 million for the same period in 2022. This reflected macroeconomic headwinds in certain markets leading to lower re-order rates during the period as distributors and accounts in certain markets adjusted their inventory levels and we reduced or paused sales to certain accounts to manage credit risk.

Gross profit for the fourth quarter was 78% of revenue, compared to 79% of revenue in the same period in 2022.

Sales and marketing expenses for the fourth quarter decreased $4.2 million to $10.7 million, compared to $14.9 million in the same period in 2022, driven largely by strategic reductions in spending to reduce cash burn and improve operational flexibility.

Research and development expenses increased by $339 thousand to $6.1 million in the quarter.

General and administrative expenses increased by $10.7 million to $15.4 million, compared to $4.7 million in the same period in 2022. The increase was driven by $7 million in accounts receivable reserves and $3 million in stock-based compensation expense and public company costs.

Loss from Operations for the fourth quarter increased by $15.6 million to $25.7 million, compared to $10.1 million in the same period in 2022. The increase in Loss from Operations was driven by $8.8 million less gross profit due to lower revenue and increased operating expenses of $6.8 million.

As of December 31, 2023, cash and cash equivalents totaled $38 million, an increase of $30.4 million from December 31, 2022, which includes the impact of Allurion’s completed business combination with Compute Heath and partial paydown of existing debt.

2024 Financial Outlook

For full year 2024, Allurion reiterates the financial guidance it previously published:

•Anticipated procedural volumes growth of 20%, reflecting increased penetration in key direct markets and reallocation of marketing spend to more efficient channels

•Revenue of $60 to $65 million, reflecting 12-22% growth year-over-year

•Expected grossmargins of 77-79%, reflecting durable pricing of our gastric balloon as well as initial commercialization efforts for the Allurion Virtual Care Suite SaaS product

•Targeted cash burn of approximately $30 million for the full year
