OBAGI MEDICAL PRODUCTS’ FOURTH QUARTER 2009 REVENUE INCREASED 21% AND NET INCOME MORE THAN DOUBLED TO $4.8 MILLION

Long Beach, Calif. March 11, 2010Obagi Medical Products, Inc. (NASDAQ: OMPI) today reported net revenue for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2009 rose 21% to $30.7 million, from $25.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2008.  The increase was due primarily to increased consumer and account confidence in the economy, international growth and higher product demand in advance of a January 1, 2010 price increase. Domestic and international sales represented approximately 81% and 19% of fourth quarter revenue, respectively.
 
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2009 rose 120% to $4.8 million, or $0.22 per share, from $2.2 million, or $0.10 per share, a year ago.
 
Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2009 was 78.9% compared with 80.2% for the fourth quarter of 2008, due primarily to lower license revenue.  This was partially offset by an increase in product sales, particularly of Nu-Derm, which benefited from the success of the third quarter promotional rebate program.
 
Total operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2009 declined 7% to $16.3 million, from $17.5 million a year ago as a result of cost cutting measures.

Business Highlights of the Fourth Quarter:
·  
Net revenue of $30.7 million is the highest quarterly revenue in the Company’s history, an increase of 23% from the third quarter 2009 and up 21% from a year ago.

·  
International product revenue was $4.6 million, an increase of 54% from a year ago.

·  
U.S. product revenue was $25.0 million, an increase of 19% from a year ago.

·  
Added 350 new accounts during the fourth quarter, bringing the domestic active accounts to 6,199 as of December 31, 2009, an increase of 9% year-over-year.

 
 

 

2009 Financial Results
For the year ended December 31, 2009:

·  
Total revenue was relatively flat at $104.1 million, compared with $104.6 million in 2008, as a $2.1 million decline in domestic revenue was partially offset by a $1.8 million, or a 14% increase in international product revenue.

·  
Gross margin was 78.8% compared with 80.9% for 2008. The decline was primarily related to increased promotional activity designed to support physician practices and the Company’s decision to exit the pharmacy channel in the second quarter.

·  
Net income was $11.3 million, or $0.51 per fully diluted share, compared with $12.6 million, or $0.56 per fully diluted share for 2008.

·  
As of December 31, 2009, the Company was debt free with cash, cash equivalents and short term investments totaling $36.0 million, compared with $19.9 million at December 31, 2008.  For 2009, free cash flow totaled $18.0 million and cash from operations reached $18.9 million.
 
As previously disclosed, included in the total year results were contract termination costs and an inventory write off associated with the Company’s April 13, 2009 decision to cease selling the SoluCLENZ™ product line and exit the pharmacy channel.  These amounts included a $440,000 pre-tax inventory write off (included within cost of goods sold) and $769,000 for pre-tax costs associated with the termination of related contracts (included within SG&A expenses).  Adjusting for these termination related costs, non-GAAP net income was $12.1 million, or $0.55 per fully diluted share.  Please refer to the table below for a reconciliation of GAAP net income to non-GAAP net income for the year ended December 31, 2009.
 
“I’m very pleased with the results for the fourth quarter and our overall performance for the year, maintaining revenue and profit levels to 2008, increasing active accounts by 9% and generating $18 million of free cash flow.  These are positive signs that support our belief that the market is recovering and that we will see further improvement in growth trends in 2010. Our priorities for 2010 include implementing initiatives that will expand our customer base, improve patient and account retention, continue our international growth and launch new products,” said Steve Carlson, Chief Executive Officer of Obagi.
 
Financial Guidance
Based on current trends in its core business, the impact of the January 1, 2010 price increase and normal seasonality, which typically causes a weaker first quarter compared to the rest of the year, the Company expects first quarter 2010 net revenue to be in the range of $23.5 million to $24.5 million and fully diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $0.08 to $0.09.  For the year, Obagi expects revenue to be between $108 and $112 million and net income to be between $0.67 and $0.71 per share on a fully diluted basis of approximately 22.2 million shares outstanding.
