“2021 was a transformative year for ReShape, punctuated by our listing on Nasdaq and the highly anticipated re-launch of the Lap-Band®,” stated Bart Bandy, President and Chief Executive Officer of ReShape Lifesciences. “As a result of our efforts, 2021 revenues increased by 20%, to $13.6 million, we were able to eliminate all debt from our balance sheet including our final $3 million obligation to Apollo Endosurgery for the purchase of the Lap-Band in December of 2018, and our cash balance at year-end was approximately $23 million. In the latter half of the year, we also kicked-off our national, direct-to-consumer television and print marketing campaign and virtual media tour. The results have been very strong and encouraging, and we look forward to providing updated metrics, soon.”
