BIOLASE DELIVERS 26% REVENUE GROWTH YEAR OVER YEAR IN THIRD QUARTER AND RAISES 2022 FULL YEAR REVENUE GUIDANCE
LAKE FOREST, Calif., Nov. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- BIOLASE, Inc. (NASDAQ: BIOL), the global leader in dental lasers, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.
2022 Third Quarter Highlights
- Total revenue was $12.0 million, up 26% year over year
- U.S. laser sales increased 35% year over year and U.S. consumable sales increased 22% year over year, driven by increased procedures using BIOLASE lasers
- Continued momentum with new customers and dental specialists with over 90% of U.S. Waterlase sales coming from new customers and approximately 40% of U.S. Waterlase sales coming from dental specialists
- Waterlase Exclusive Trial Program success rate remained at over 50% year to date, highlighting the program's success
"I am pleased to report continued increasing demand for our industry leading lasers, which is being driven by the execution of our growth strategy," commented John Beaver, President, and Chief Executive Officer. "Our total revenue increased 26% year over year, with U.S. laser sales increasing 35% year over year and U.S. consumable sales growing 22% year over year. Our strong performance reflects continued positive momentum from our Waterlase Exclusive Trial Program, as our success rate remained at over 50% year to date. This initiative, along with the extra emphasis on education and training for endodontists, periodontists, pediatric dentists, and dental hygienists, generated increased adoption of our laser technology in the U.S. this quarter with over 90% of our U.S. Waterlase sales coming from new customers and approximately 40% of U.S. Waterlase sales coming from dental specialists.
"With less than 10% of the U.S. dental community currently using dental lasers, we are confident that we can leverage the enhanced capabilities of our product to drive further adoption and become the new standard of care. With every one percentage point increase in market adoption of laser technology in the U.S. alone, we estimate it will generate an additional $50.0 million in revenue for BIOLASE, assuming we maintain our current 60% market share. With the continued success of our sales initiatives, we believe we are well positioned for continued revenue growth in 2022 and beyond."
2022 Third Quarter Financial Results
Net revenue for the third quarter of 2022 was $12.0 million, an increase of 26% year over year. U.S. laser revenue was $4.6 million for the third quarter of 2022, up 35% when compared to U.S. laser revenue of $3.4 million for the third quarter of 2021. U.S. consumables and other revenue for the third quarter of 2022, which consists of revenue from consumable products such as disposable tips, increased 22% compared to the third quarter of 2021. Outside the U.S., laser revenue was $2.8 million for the third quarter of 2022, up 1% compared with the same quarter in 2021, and consumables and other revenue was down 2% at $0.8 million when compared to the same quarter in 2021.
Gross margin for the third quarter of 2022 was 20%, compared to 51% for the third quarter of 2021. The lower gross margin in 2022 is largely a result of the impact of a $1.7 million charge for inventory. This inventory charge was driven by certain supply chain issues that we have encountered requiring us to change to new suppliers along with end of life designation for certain products and components. In addition, the lower margin resulted from the launch of OEM products at the beginning of 2022 and an Employee Retention Credit under the CARES Act received during the three months ended September 30, 2021 that did not occur in 2022, partially offset by the recognition of more product training revenue during the third quarter of 2022. Total operating expenses were $10.1 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $7.5 million for the third quarter of 2021. Operating loss for the third quarter of 2022 was $7.7 million, compared to an operating loss of $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2021.
The Company reported cash and cash equivalents of $10.0 million on September 30, 2022.
Net Loss and Adjusted EBITDA
The reconciliation of GAAP Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDA at the end of this news release provides the details of the Company's non-GAAP disclosures and the reconciliation of GAAP net loss and net loss per share to the Company's Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per share.
Net loss for the third quarter of 2022 was $8.4 million compared to a net loss of $3.3 million for the third quarter of 2021. Net loss per share for the quarter was $1.10 compared to $0.54 for the third quarter of 2021 (as adjusted for the reverse stock split). Adjusted EBITDA loss for the third quarter of 2022 was $5.6 million compared with Adjusted EBITDA loss of $2.5 million for the third quarter of 2021. Adjusted EBITDA loss per share for the quarter was $0.74 compared to $0.40 for the third quarter of 2021 (as adjusted for the reverse stock split).
2022 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Revenue Guidance
Based on currently available information and the continued operating momentum the Company has experienced through the first nine months of the year, BIOLASE is anticipating fourth quarter net revenue to exceed $13.0 million, which would represent growth of at least 5% year over year. The Company is increasing its 2022 full year revenue guidance and now expects full year net revenue to increase at least 20% from 2021 levels.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the financial information prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("GAAP"), this press release includes certain historical non-GAAP financial information. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures assist investors in making comparisons of period-to-period operating results and that, in some respects, these non-GAAP financial measures are more indicative of the Company's ongoing core operating performance than their GAAP equivalents.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, loss on patent litigation settlement, stock-based and other non-cash compensation, allowance for doubtful accounts, increase in inventory reserves, and gain on debt forgiveness. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA in its evaluation of the Company's core results of operations and trends between fiscal periods and believes that these measures are important components of its internal performance measurement process. Therefore, investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, the non-GAAP financial measures presented by the Company may be different from similarly named non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
