Cutera Reports Record Third Quarter 2016 Results

 

●	Revenue increased 31% year-over-year to $30.3 million

●	Revenue achievement represents record third quarter, and second highest quarter in Company’s history

●	Ninth consecutive quarter of double-digit revenue growth

●	Achieved GAAP profitability and significant operating cash flow

 

BRISBANE, California, November 7, 2016 ─ Cutera, Inc. (NASDAQ: CUTR) (“Cutera” or the “Company”), a leading provider of laser and energy-based aesthetic systems for practitioners worldwide, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016.

 

Key operating highlights and financial performance for the third quarter of 2016, when compared to the third quarter of 2015, were as follows:

 

●

Revenue increased 31% to $30.3 million, due to strong growth in Product revenue in North America and Rest of World of 28% and 52%, respectively.

●

Gross Margin increased to 59%, primarily due to leverage from revenue growth.

●

GAAP Net Income increased $2.6 million from a net loss of $1.0 million a year ago, to a $1.6 million profit. Earnings per diluted share were $0.12, compared to a loss per share of $0.07.

●

Cash generated by operations was $1.6 million.

●

Repurchased 176,000 shares of common stock for $1.9 million from the $10.0 million board-approved stock repurchase program. Remaining balance on the authorized $10.0 million program was $5.1 million.

●

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable investments were $46.4 million, and no debt.

 

 

Ron Santilli, Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Cutera, stated, “We are pleased with our ninth consecutive quarter of double-digit revenue growth and the improved financial performance. We are particularly excited about our return to profitability and cash generation, which illustrates the leverage in our business model. Our financial performance in the third quarter, and overall trajectory, has the Company on track with our previously stated goals of strong revenue growth and GAAP profitability for the full-year of 2016.”

 

In the third quarter of 2016, the Company’s Product revenue grew substantially in the North American and Rest-of-World regions, as well as across all of the major product platforms, including the newly released products as well as our legacy products.

 

“We continue to expand the functionality of our enlighten platform. In October 2016, we expanded its utility into skin revitalization by adding PicoGenesis^TM and we just recently received a 510(k) clearance from the FDA for a third wavelength, “a true red” 670nm, for benign pigmented lesions. The 670nm wavelength will allow for greater clinical capabilities to our customers. We are in the process of finalizing our launch plans for a three wave length enlighten III platform, which we expect will start shipping commercially towards the end of the fourth quarter of 2016. We believe this new product will be the best-in-class, three wavelength, laser in the market that will allow our customers the ability to remove all tattoo ink colors, and provide PicoGenesis skin revitalization — with improved efficacy and faster treatment than any other system in the market,” said Mr. Santilli.

 

Mr. Santilli concluded, “We remain committed to advancing our technologies and to providing our customers with an attractive path for upgrading their current systems to the new capabilities. We are well positioned to achieve continued year-over-year profitable growth in the fourth quarter as we continue to execute on the various initiatives for expanding our market share in the growing aesthetic medical equipment market.”
