Appoints Amit Meridor to President and David Schlachet Chairman of the Board
YOKNEAM, Israel, May 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Syneron Medical Ltd. (NASDAQ:ELOS), the leading global aesthetic device company, today announced financial results for the three month period ended March 31, 2013.
First Quarter 2013 Year-Over-Year Financial Highlights Include:
- Total revenue of $61.2 million, down 2%
- North America revenue of $21.9 million, up 2%
- International revenue of $39.3 million, down 5%
- EBU1 segment revenue of $7.4 million, up 21%
- Non-GAAP gross margin of 54.9%, up from 53.5%
- PAD2 segment non-GAAP operating margin of 5.3%, down from 8.1%
- Non-GAAP EPS of $0.02
- Cash and investments portfolio of $124.2 million at March 31, 2013
Dr. Shimon Eckhouse, Chief Executive Officer of Syneron, commented, "In the PAD segment, revenue was down 5%, while in the EBU segment we achieved another quarter of record revenue. Although the basic demand for our products and technologies on a global basis remains strong, we have some areas in which we are implementing new strategies to drive growth and profitability. On the revenue side, we saw moderate PAD segment growth in all geographies except for EMEA and Japan, which were impacted by macroeconomic conditions. There continues to be strong interest in our recently launched products, including at several major industry conferences during the quarter. We remain on track with our UltraShape U.S. clinical trial and recently introduced several enhancements to our body shaping product portfolio. We have begun making strategic additions to our U.S. sales team to target the gradually recovering economy, including the non-core market, along with selective resource reallocations within our global team to focus on high demand geographies. This will support operating margin expansion as we grow revenue and further optimize our operating infrastructure."
"In the EBU, we are pleased with the U.S. launch of the me home-use hair removal system in the first quarter. We are encouraged by the positive reception in the first weeks since the launch, including a very successful QVC launch on their TSV ("Today's Special Value") event in the last week of April and another successful TSV event for our latest Pearl teeth whitening system. We are balancing the positive EBU sales trends with its ongoing cost control efforts aimed at narrowing segment losses. We improved segment operating margin, keeping us on track to achieve our goal to reach breakeven operating results by the end of 2013."
Revenue: First quarter 2013 revenue was $61.2 million, compared to $62.7 million in the first quarter 2012. The decrease was the result of lower PAD segment revenue in EMEA and Japan, partially offset by moderate revenue growth in all other geographies and growth in EBU segment revenue. First quarter 2013 revenue was negatively impacted by $0.7 million due to the devaluation of the Japanese Yen against the U.S. dollar compared to the first quarter 2012.
PAD segment revenue was $53.8 million, down 5% compared to $56.5 million in the first quarter 2012. EBU segment revenue was $7.4 million, up 21% compared to $6.1 million in the first quarter 2012.
Non-GAAP Financial Highlights for the First Quarter Ended March 31, 2013:
Gross Margin for the first quarter 2013 increased to 54.9% from 53.5% in first quarter 2012,primarily due to a favorable sales channel mix in the PAD segment and recently implemented costs cutting and efficiency measures in the EBU.
Operating Income for the first quarter 2013 increased slightly to $0.9 million from $0.7 million in first quarter 2012, representing an operating margin of 1.4% of revenue in the first quarter 2013, compared to 1.1% in the first quarter 2012.
Net Income and Earnings Per Share in the first quarter 2013 remained at the level of the first quarter 2012 at $0.6 million and $0.02, respectively.
Net income and earnings per share for the first quarter 2013 are adjusted to exclude the following items, which are detailed in the Company's financial tables:
- Amortization of acquired intangible assets of $1.6 million
- Stock-based compensation of $1.0 million
- Other non-recurring costs of $0.8 million
- Income tax adjustment of $(0.4) million
GAAP Financial Highlights for the First Quarter Ended March 31, 2013:
Gross Margin for the first quarter 2013 was 53.0%, compared to 51.4% in first quarter 2012, primarily due to a favorable sales channel mix in the PAD segment and recently implemented costs cutting and efficiency measures in the EBU.
Operating Loss for the first quarter 2013 was $2.6 million, compared to $3.0 million in first quarter 2012.
Net Loss for the first quarter 2013 was $2.4 million, compared to $2.6 million in first quarter 2012.
Loss Per Share for the first quarter 2012 and 2013 was $(0.07).
Cash Position: As of March 31, 2013, the Company's cash and investments portfolio was $124.2 million.
Hugo Goldman, Chief Financial Officer of Syneron, said, "During the first quarter, our cash position decreased $11.8 million. This was driven by increased product inventory to support the launch of the me home-use hair removal system and the Pearl Brilliant White System in the U.S., our investments in the EBU segment, and the timing of certain accounts receivable and payable. We continue to have a strong balance sheet with no debt. We are committed to improving revenue growth and profitability by focusing on growth opportunities, enhancing sales and operating efficiency, including shifting resources and tightening costs."

I am confident that Amit, Syneron's senior management team and I will work well together to significantly improve Syneron's profitability and expand its leadership in the aesthetic market."
Mr. Meridor said, "It is great to return home. Rejoining Syneron presents a significant personal and business milestone for me. I greatly appreciate the opportunity of working with Shimon and the rest of the management team. I look forward to bringing all the experience I've gathered at CMT Medical and Tefron back to Syneron and help Shimon lead Syneron through its future growth."

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
This press release provides financial measures for gross margin, operating margin, operating income (loss), net income (loss), earnings (loss) per share, which exclude one-time expenses relating to mergers, non-cash expenses related to stock-based compensation and amortization, one-time severance and other one-time charges and non-recurring costs, and non-recurring costs associated with the voluntary field action regarding the LiteTouch Dental Laser Product in Europe, and are therefore not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance because it reflects our ongoing operational results, operating margin, operating income (loss), net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Management uses non-GAAP measures when evaluating the business internally and, therefore, felt it important to make these non-GAAP adjustments available to investors. A reconciliation of each GAAP to non-GAAP financial measure discussed in this press release is contained in the accompanying financial tables.
