Cutera Announces Record First Quarter 2022 Revenue Results
Delivers 17% revenue growth as reported and 21% on a constant currency basis
AviClearTM investments were accelerated in 1Q22 ahead of FDA device clearance
New ERP system launched
Company reiterates full-year guidance at current exchange rates

BRISBANE, California, May 10, 2022 ─ Cutera, Inc. (NASDAQ: CUTR) (“Cutera” or the “Company”), a leading provider of laser and other energy-based aesthetic systems for practitioners worldwide, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.
 
First Quarter 2022 Financial and Operational Highlights

Revenue was $58.0 million, an increase of 17% from the prior-year period as reported and 21% on a constant currency basis, driven by robust performance across the business, with particular strength in North America;

Capital Equipment revenue of $36.5 million increased 29% over the prior-year period as reported and 32% on a constant currency basis;
Recurring revenue, defined as the combination of Skincare, Consumable Products, and Service, was $21.5 million, an increase of 1% as reported over the prior-year period and 7% on a constant currency basis;

Skincare revenue of $11.6 million decreased 5% over the prior-year period as reported and increased 4% on a constant currency basis;
Consumable Product revenue of $3.9 million increased 33% over the prior-year period as reported and 36% on a constant currency basis; and
Service revenue of $5.9 million decreased 3% over the prior-year period as reported and was flat on a constant currency basis.

Gross Margin was 54.8% compared to 55.8% in the prior-year period. Cost of Goods Sold during the period included $0.9 million in incremental spend related to Acne. Excluding these expenses, Gross Margin in the first quarter was 56.4%;

Operating Expenses were $44.9 million in the quarter, compared to $26.5 million in the prior-year period. Operating Expenses during the period included $7.3 million in spend associated with preparing for the launch of Acne in addition to $4.0 million of ERP implementation expense, culminating in our ERP go-live during the quarter;

GAAP Net loss was $15.1 million, or ($0.84) per fully diluted share, compared to a net loss of $0.4M, or ($0.02) per fully diluted share in the prior-year period. Non-GAAP net loss was $5.8 million, as compared to a $3.0 million net profit in the prior-year period; and

Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $3.8 million in the period, as compared to income of $4.6 million in the prior-year period. Excluding Acne program spend of $8.1 million in the quarter, adjusted EBITDA was income of $4.3 million.

“I am pleased with the strong North American capital equipment sales we delivered in the first quarter, as the momentum we built in the second half of 2021 carried into the new year. Our investments in capital equipment sales force expansion, along with increased practice support from our Key Account Manager strategy, continue to enhance our position in the marketplace and drive year-over-year growth in equipment and consumable products,” commented Dave Mowry, Chief Executive Officer of Cutera, Inc. “With the addition of the recent FDA 510(k) approved AviClearTM device for the treatment of mild, moderate, and severe acne, Cutera’s portfolio has been fortified with a bold first-mover product. AviClear addresses a massive unmet clinical need for patients seeking a non-drug solution for their acne and offers our physician customers an exciting new revenue stream. Our limited commercial release of AviClear is ongoing, and the insights we glean from this phase will inform and enhance our full launch later in 2022.”
 
2022 Outlook
Management is reiterating 2022 revenue guidance to be in the range of $255 million to $260 million at current foreign exchange rates. This guidance represents an underlying constant currency revenue growth rate of approximately 13%-15%, up



from our prior guidance of 10%-12%, negated by approximately $7 million in incremental currency headwinds. Our full-year guidance does not include any contribution from AviClear.
 
Conference Call
The Company’s management will host a conference call to discuss these results and related matters today at 1:30 p.m. PT (4:30 p.m. ET). Participating on the call will be Dave Mowry, Chief Executive Officer and Rohan Seth, Chief Financial Officer.

*Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
In this press release, in order to supplement the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or GAAP, management has disclosed certain non-GAAP financial measures for the statement of operations and net income (loss) per share. Non-GAAP adjustments include stock-based compensation, depreciation, amortization, executive and other non-recurring separation costs, customer relationship management (CRM) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) system costs, non-recurring legal and litigation costs, as well as the net tax impact of excluding these items. From time to time in the future, there may be other items that we may exclude if the Company believes that doing so is consistent with the goal of providing useful information to investors and management. The Company has provided a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure used in this earnings release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. The Company has not provided a reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance measures to the corresponding GAAP measures on a forward-looking basis due to the potential significant variability, limited visibility, unpredictability, or unique non-recurring nature of the items. Forward-looking non-GAAP measures include adjusted EBITDA. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, executive and other non-recurring separation costs, customer relationship management and enterprise resource planning system costs, and non-recurring legal and litigation costs.
 
Company management uses these measurements as aids in monitoring the Companys ongoing financial performance from quarter to quarter, and year to year, on a regular basis and for benchmarking against other similar companies. Non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, the operating performance measure as prescribed by GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures for the statement of operations and net income per share exclude the following:
 
Non-cash expenses for stock-based compensation. The Company has excluded the effect of stock-based compensation expenses in calculating its non-GAAP operating expenses and net income measures. Although stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to the Company's employees, the Company continues to evaluate its business performance excluding stock-based compensation expenses. The Company records stock-based compensation expense related to grants of options, employee stock purchase plan, and performance and restricted stock. Depending upon the size, timing and the terms of the grants, this expense may vary significantly but will recur in future periods. The Company believes that excluding stock-based compensation better allows for comparisons to its peer companies;

Depreciation and amortization. The Company has excluded depreciation and amortization expense in calculating its non-GAAP operating expenses and net income measures. Depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges to current operations;
 
Executive and other non-recurring separation costs. We have excluded costs associated with the resignation of our former Executive Officers in calculating our non-GAAP operating expenses and net income measures. We exclude these and other non-recurring employee separation costs because we believe that these items do not reflect future operating expenses;
 
Customer Relationship Management. We have excluded CRM system costs related to direct and incremental costs incurred in connection with our multi-phase implementation of a new CRM solution and the related technology infrastructure costs. We exclude these costs because we believe that these items do not reflect future operating expenses and will be inconsistent in amounts and frequency making it difficult to contribute to a meaningful evaluation of our operating performance; 
 
Enterprise Resource Planning. We have excluded ERP system costs related to direct and incremental costs incurred in connection with our multi-phase implementation of a new ERP solution and the related technology infrastructure costs. We exclude these costs because



we believe that these items do not reflect future operating expenses and will be inconsistent in amounts and frequency making it difficult to contribute to a meaningful evaluation of our operating performance; and
 
Non-recurring legal and litigation costs. We have excluded costs incurred related to third party litigation and disputes, that are of a non-recurring nature.

The Company believes that excluding all of the items above allows users of its financial statements to better review and assess both current and historical results of operations.
 
Safe Harbor Statement
Certain statements in this press release, other than purely historical information, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). These statements include, but are not limited to, Cuteras plans, objectives, strategies, financial performance and outlook, product launches and performance, trends, prospects or future events and involve known and unknown risks that are difficult to predict. As a result, the Companys actual financial results, performance, achievements or prospects may differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of words such as may, could, seek, guidance, predict, potential, likely, believe, will, should, expect, anticipate, estimate, plan, intend, forecast, foresee or variations of these terms and similar expressions, or the negative of these terms or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on management's current, preliminary expectations and are subject to risks and uncertainties, which may cause Cutera's actual results to differ materially from the statements contained herein. These statements are not guarantees of future performance, and stockholders should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. There are a number of risks, uncertainties and other important factors, many of which are beyond the Companys control, that could cause its actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this press release, including those described in the Risk Factors section of Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, the Registration Statement on Form S-,8 and other documents filed from time to time with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission by Cutera.

All information in this press release is as of the date of its release. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements. Cutera undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements to reflect new information, events or circumstances after the date they were made, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. If the Company updates one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that it will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements. Cutera's financial performance for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022, as discussed in this release, is preliminary and unaudited, and subject to adjustment.
