Cutera Reports First Quarter 2014 Results
BRISBANE, Calif., May 8, 2014 ─ Cutera, Inc. (NASDAQ: CUTR), 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, 2014.
Key highlights for the first quarter of 2014 were as follows:
| · | Revenue grew 1% to $16.2 million, compared to the first quarter of 2013. |
| · | Gross margin improved slightly to 55%, compared to 54% in the first quarter of 2013. |
| · | Net loss was $3.6 million, or $0.26 per diluted share. Non-cash expenses for stock-based compensation, depreciable and intangible amortization totaled $1.0 million for the quarter. This loss reflects ramp-up expenses related to the expanded North American sales force and other commercial initiatives. |
| · | Showcased two new products, Excel HR and Enlighten. Commercialization plans for these products remain on schedule. |
| · | Cash and marketable securities position remains strong at $83.8 million. |
Kevin Connors, President and CEO of Cutera, stated, “Our international revenue increased by 7% led primarily by the growth in revenue from our global distributor network and Japan, despite the continued unfavorable foreign exchange pressure. However, our US revenue declined by 7% as we continued to restructure and expand our sales force.
“We have made significant progress in our sales force expansion initiatives and expect to complete our hiring in North America well ahead of schedule. As we have recently hired a record number of field sales people in North America, and it takes them time to ramp-up, we expect the full productivity impact to be experienced in the second half of 2014. We plan to continue investments into our commercial channels to capture greater market share with our expanded suite of product offerings.
“Our product development efforts remain on schedule to commence shipments in the second quarter of 2014 of Excel-HR, our dual wave length premium hair removal product. We expect shipments of our Enlighten product for the removal of benign pigment lesions and tattoos, to commence in the second half of 2014. Enlighten has received CE Mark approval and is currently pending 510(k) clearance by the FDA. We expect to commence commercial shipments of Enlighten in the second half of 2014 (with U.S. shipments subject to FDA clearance). We are looking forward to the launch of these two products and the impact they are expected to have on revenue for the second half of 2014.
“We believe the market is healthy for aesthetic light and energy based systems and we believe that our broad range of products, recently expanded sales force, and the expected launch of our new products, strategically positions us to capture a larger share of the market.”
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 8, 2014. Participating in the call will be Kevin Connors, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Ron Santilli, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. The call will be broadcast live over the Internet hosted at the Investor Relations section of Cutera's website at www.cutera.com, and will be archived online within one hour of its completion through 8:59 p.m. PT (11:59 p.m. ET) on May 22, 2014. In addition, you may call 1-877-705-6003 to listen to the live broadcast.
