Cutera Reports First Quarter 2012 Results
Revenue Grew 35% Year-Over-Year

BRISBANE, Calif., May 10, 2012 ─ Cutera, Inc. (NASDAQ: CUTR), a leading provider of laser and other light-based aesthetic systems for practitioners worldwide, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012.

Key financial highlights for the first quarter of 2012, compared to the same period in 2011, are as follows:

 
·
Revenue grew by $4.1 million, or 35%, to $15.7 million, from $11.6 million
 
·
Net loss was $5.3 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, which includes non-recurring integration costs associated with the Iridex acquisition

Kevin Connors, president and CEO of Cutera, stated, “This is our fourth consecutive quarter of revenue growth in excess of 22%, compared to the same period one year ago.  In the first quarter of 2012, our US revenue increased 50%, when compared to the first quarter of 2011. International revenue expanded by 27% during the first quarter of 2012, compared to the same period in 2011.  The increased revenue in the first quarter of 2012, compared to the same period in 2011, was driven primarily by:

 
1)
The improved effectiveness of our North American sales organization;
 
2)
Recent successful product introductions of our GenesisPlus and Excel V laser systems;
 
3)
Increased revenue of our existing Xeo flagship product; and
 
4)
Iridex aesthetic acquisition.”

“We are pleased that we have been able to integrate the Iridex aesthetic asset acquisition into our business as planned. Our second quarter 2012 will reflect a full quarter’s operating performance from this acquisition and we expect it to contribute incremental profits.”

 
 

 

“We continue to make significant investments in research and development and believe it is vital to continue to deliver innovative products in the future.  With this objective in mind, we entered the non-invasive body contouring segment of the market with the launch of our truSculptTM system in March 2012. This product received a CE Mark approval for body sculpting in January 2012 and has a 501(k) clearance for the treatment of cellulite. We expect to commence shipments of truSculpt in the third quarter of 2012.”

Mr. Connors concluded, “We remain focused on key initiatives to improve our performance in 2012. We believe that our worldwide distribution network, strong cash position, with no debt, and an expanded portfolio of products offer continued, long-term opportunities for our company.”

Conference Call
The conference call to discuss these results is scheduled to begin at 2:00 p.m. PT (5:00 p.m. ET) on May 10, 2012. Participating in the call will be Kevin Connors, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Ron Santilli, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
