Solta Medical Reports Fourth Quarter 2011 Results
Fourth Quarter Product Revenue Up 11% from Prior Year
Ninth Consecutive Quarter of Non-GAAP Operating Income
Company Commences Shipments of Liposonix Systems
HAYWARD, Calif., Feb. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Solta Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLTM), a global leader in the medical aesthetics market, today reported product revenue during the fourth quarter of 2011 grew 11% as compared with the quarter ended December 31, 2010. Sales of new systems and upgrades rose 14% to $15.9 million. Revenue from treatment tips and other consumables of $15.9 million grew $1.3 million, or 9%, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2010, and accounted for 48% of total revenue. Total revenue for the quarter, including service and other revenue, of $33.2 million increased $3.1 million, or 10%, compared to the same period last year.
"As we anticipated, our Clear + Brilliant skin rejuvenation platform helped drive double-digit product revenue growth for the second consecutive quarter. Clear + Brilliant is a unique approach to laser skin care for patients looking to prevent the signs of aging skin and to maintain a youthful appearance. The treatment is comfortable, fast, effective, and affordable, with results that go beyond spa treatments, lotions, and creams," said Stephen J. Fanning, Chairman, President & CEO of Solta Medical. "We also initiated the commercial roll-out of the second generation Liposonix non-invasive fat reduction system, and the initial response from physicians and patients has been very positive."
GAAP net income for the quarter was $1.0 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, as compared to GAAP net loss of $0.2 million, or $0.00 per share, reported for the fourth quarter of 2010. The fourth quarter of 2011 includes a $6.4 million benefit for income taxes arising from a one-time release of the Company's valuation allowance to offset deferred tax liabilities generated from acquiring Liposonix. Non-GAAP net loss for the quarter was $23,000, or $0.00 per share, as compared to non-GAAP net income of $1.7 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the same period last year. Non-GAAP earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) totaled $1.3 million for the fourth quarter.
Solta Medical's GAAP results for the fourth quarter include non-cash amortization, other acquisition related charges, and severance of $4.3 million, non-cash stock based compensation charges of $1.0 million, as well as the one-time release of our valuation allowance to offset deferred tax liabilities generated from acquiring Liposonix of $6.4 million. The Company provides additional non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these charges and expenses. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is provided in the tables included in this release.
"We produced our ninth consecutive quarter of non-GAAP operating income despite incurring additional operating costs for November and December at the Liposonix facility with little immediate benefit of Liposonix revenue. We are the only company in the aesthetic energy device space with this sustained record of performance," said Mr. Fanning. "In addition, we have nearly completed the integration process related to the acquisition of Liposonix and our production ramp at the facility in Washington is on schedule."
Product revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 grew year-over-year by 7%. Total revenue for the full year including service and other revenue of $116.0 million increased $5.1 million, or 5%, compared to the prior year.
The GAAP net loss for the year was $1.3 million, or a loss of $0.02 per share, as compared to a net loss of $2.0 million, or a loss of $0.03 per share reported for the full year 2010. The full year 2011 results include a $6.4 million benefit for income taxes arising from a one-time release of the Company's valuation allowance to offset deferred tax liabilities generated from acquiring Liposonix. Non-GAAP net income for the full year was $3.6 million, or $0.06 per diluted share as compared to non-GAAP net income of $6.8 million, or $0.11 per diluted share reported for the full year 2010. Non-GAAP EBITDA for the full year was $7.5 million.
Solta Medical's GAAP results for the full year 2011 include non-cash amortization, other acquisition related charges, and severance of $8.0 million, non-cash stock based compensation charges of $3.3 million, and a one-time release of our valuation allowance to offset deferred tax liabilities generated from acquiring Liposonix of $6.4 million. The Company provides additional non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these charges and expenses. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is provided in the tables included in this release.
Financial Outlook for 2012
The company provided a preliminary financial outlook for 2012 as follows:
- Revenue for the full year 2012 is expected to be approximately $140 million representing year-over-year revenue growth of approximately 20% driven by sales of the second generation Liposonix non-invasive fat reduction system.
- As a result of an anticipated higher proportion of revenue generated by sales of systems in 2012, non-GAAP gross margin is estimated to be in the range of 63% to 65% for the full year 2012. Non-GAAP gross margin excludes non-cash amortization charges, non-cash stock based compensation charges, severance costs, and acquisition related adjustments. For 2011, the company's non-GAAP gross margin was 67%.
- Positive non-GAAP EBITDA for every quarter and for the full-year 2012. Non-GAAP EBITDA excludes non-cash amortization charges, non-cash stock based compensation charges, severance costs, and acquisition related adjustments. For 2011 non-GAAP EBITDA totaled $7.5 million.
Non-GAAP Presentation
To supplement the condensed consolidated financial information presented on a GAAP basis, management has provided non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share measures that exclude the impact of acquisition related adjustments, severance costs, acquisition related costs, and stock-based compensation expenses. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with insight into what is used by management to conduct a more meaningful and consistent comparison of the Company's ongoing operating results and trends, compared with historical results. This presentation is also consistent with the measures management uses to measure the performance of ongoing operating results against prior periods and against our internally developed targets. There are limitations in using these non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial measures. Investors and potential investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures only in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures attached to this release.
