OBAGI MEDICAL PRODUCTS’ SECOND QUARTER 2010 NET SALES ROSE 12 PERCENT
--COMPANY RAISES FULL YEAR SALES GUIDANCE--


Long Beach, Calif. — August 5, 2010 — Obagi Medical Products, Inc. (NASDAQ: OMPI), a leader in topical aesthetic and therapeutic skin health systems, today reported financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010.

Net sales in the second quarter of 2010 rose 11.6% to $28.9 million from $25.9 million in the second quarter a year ago, demonstrating continued strength in the Company’s business in the physician-dispensed market.

Gross profit was $22.7 million, or 78.5% of total net sales, in the second quarter of 2010, compared with $20.6 million, or 79.7% of total net sales, in the second quarter of 2009.  The lower gross margin percentage was primarily due to inventory reserves taken in the second quarter of 2010 that impacted gross profit by $0.5 million and a $0.2 million decrease in licensing fees.

Net income in the second quarter of 2010 totaled $3.1 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, up from $2.8 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2009.  Net income was negatively impacted by legal fees of $1.3 million related to the lawsuit and arbitration demand filed by Zein Obagi and ZO Skin Health and, approximately $0.5 million of additional bad debt reserves and $0.2 million of additional inventory reserves, both of which were associated with non-performance of an international distributor.
 
Business Highlights of the Second Quarter and Subsequent Weeks:
       •
Initiated the "Obagi for Life" new account seed program that had more than 220 potential accounts participating in July. The Company believes this program will result in strong new account growth in the third quarter.
 
       •
Reorganized the previously dermatology-only specialty sales team to better focus on opportunities with non-dermatology physician specialties.  As a result of this action and the need for this sales team to focus on their expanded existing account base, the number of active accounts was relatively flat with the first quarter at approximately 6,350, which is up 7% from a year ago.
 
       •
Introduced a new and improved Obagi-C© RX system, which helped grow the Vitamin C product segment by 38.5% versus last year
 
       •
Achieved 10.0% growth in revenues for the Company’s core Nu-Derm product segment.

 
 

 

       •
Finished the quarter with no outstanding debt and total cash and cash equivalents, including short-term investments, of $42.8 million.  This represents a $3.0 million increase from last quarter.
 
       •
Hired Greg Skover, PhD as Senior Vice President of R&D.   Greg has spent more than 20 years with Johnson & Johnson, primarily focused on aesthetic skin care.  He succeeds Judy Hattendorf who is retiring at the end of this year after nearly 11 years with the Company.
 
       •
Re-launched Obagi’s patient education program, called “Inner Circle,” adding nearly 10,000 members and building Obagi’s data base of end users to nearly 60,000 people.
 
       •
Published an article titled, "Meta-analysis comparing efficacy of benzoyl peroxide, clindamycin, benzoyl peroxide with salicylic acid, and combination benzoyl peroxide/clindamycin in acne" in the July issue of JAAD (The Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology). This article was important for the Company as it was the first ever publication in this prestigious journal featuring an Obagi product; in addition, the results once again substantiated the equal-to and/or superior clinical efficacy of CLENZIderm® versus leading prescription agents to treat acne.
 
Steve Carlson, Obagi Medical Products’ President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are pleased to have delivered a double digit increase in sales during the second quarter of 2010.  As we look at the second half of the year, we remain confident that we will see continued sales growth, supported by a planned new product to be launched in the fourth quarter.  Although we have experienced higher costs due to legal expenses, which we expect will continue to increase, the core business is performing well and we remain optimistic about the future.”

For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to a Year Ago:
       •
Net sales rose 12.5% to $54.6 million, compared with $48.5 million a year ago.
 
       •
Gross profit was 78.9%, up from 78.8% a year ago.
 
       •
Net income rose 43.7% to $5.0 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared with $3.5 million, or $0.16 per diluted share a year ago.
 
       •
Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments increased $6.9 million from December 31, 2009.

Introducing Third Quarter and Full-year 2010 Financial Guidance
Based on current market conditions and historical seasonality patterns for the Company, Obagi expects net sales between $26.5 and $27.5 million for the third quarter and $111 to $113 million for the fiscal year, which is an increase from prior guidance of $108 to $112 million.  Diluted earnings are expected to be between $0.09 and $0.11 per share for the third quarter and between $0.46 and $0.53 per share for the fiscal year.  The assumptions upon which this guidance is based include revenues from the planned new product launch in the fourth quarter and the assumption that legal fees associated with the Zein Obagi and ZO Skin Health matters will be approximately $2 million per quarter, or $0.05 to $0.06 per diluted share, for the remainder of the calendar year.  This would result in total legal related expenses for this matter of approximately $6.0 million for the year, or $0.16 per diluted share.
