Obagi Medical Products Reports Second Quarter 2011 Results
Non-GAAP Net Income of $3.4 Million and Earnings per Share of $0.18
-Conference Call To Be Held at 4:30 PM EDT Today-


LONG BEACH, Calif., August 4, 2011 -- 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, 2011.

Net sales for the second quarter of 2011 were equal to the second quarter of 2010 at $28.9 million.  Second quarter 2011 sales were impacted by lower shipments into Texas due to regulatory agencies’ attempting to impose restrictions on certain products as well as lower royalties from the Company's Japanese partner.

For the second quarter 2011, net income was $2.9 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared with $3.1 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2010.  On a non-GAAP basis, excluding Zein Obagi legal and related costs from both this year and last, net income was $3.4 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared with net income of $3.8 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, a year ago.  A table reconciling GAAP and non-GAAP measures is provided below.

Second quarter 2011 gross margin was 77.4%, which compares with 78.5% a year ago.  Gross margin during the quarter was negatively impacted by $0.5 million of additional inventory reserves related to short-dated product and damaged inventory that was returned from Texas, and a $0.4 million decline in royalties.  Operating expenses on a GAAP basis for the second quarter 2011 were $17.5 million, flat compared with the same period last year.  On a non-GAAP basis, operating expenses were $16.8 million compared with $16.3 million for the second quarter 2010, excluding costs associated with the Zein Obagi litigation.  Operating expenses increased from last year primarily due to $0.8 million in incremental expenses associated with the Texas matter which included voluntarily withdrawing product from Texas and other legal and professional costs.

For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to a Year Ago:
·  
Net sales were $55.4 million compared with $54.6 million a year ago.
·  
Gross margin was 78.3% versus 78.9% a year ago.

 
 

 

·  
On a GAAP basis, net income totaled $0.5 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared with net income of $5.0 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, a year ago.
·  
On a non-GAAP basis, net income totaled $6.2 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, compared with net income of $6.2 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, a year ago.  (See reconciliation table for details.)

The Company generated strong cash flow of $5.3 million from operations during the three months ended June 30, 2011, before a $5.0 million payment for the Zein Obagi settlement.  Total cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2011 were $21.1 million, up from $15.1 million at December 31, 2010.

Recent Significant Events
In the second quarter of 2011, the Company:

·  
Added 284 new accounts, bringing the total number of active accounts to 6,560 at quarter’s end, up 3.3% from a year ago.
·  
Presented results of two studies at the 22nd World Congress of Dermatology in May.
o  
The first study showed statistically significant benefits from the use of Obagi-C®Rx, a prescription strength hydroquinone/ascorbic acid treatment system for normal to oily skin,  in the treatment of hyperpigmentation and skin laxity, as well as improvements in skin texture and a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.  Additionally, the treatment system was clinically proven to increase patient satisfaction in their appearance.
o  
In the second clinical study, Nu-Derm®, a prescription strength hydroquinone skin care system, when used with tretinoin, was shown to be highly effective in reducing the severity and pigmentation intensity of melasma in those with darker skin, particularly for people of color, with 90% of the patients reporting that their treatment was either “more” or “much more” effective than other medications previously used.

Al Hummel, the Company’s President and CEO, stated, “Notwithstanding the unusual circumstances in Texas, we performed as we predicted during the second quarter and continue to support our physician customers in Texas with non-hydroquinone products.  We disagree with certain views of some Texas regulators and continue to be in active discussion with them.
 
"Having dealt with a number of issues since my arrival at Obagi, including settling the Zein Obagi litigation and ongoing work to resolve the Texas regulatory issues, I want to emphasize that we also are making good progress on building the platform for future growth.  We are actively developing strategic and tactical plans that we expect will accelerate revenue growth in the medium and long term.   On the marketing front, early results from our social media campaigns have provided us with valuable insights into new avenues for increasing our brand awareness and building deeper relationships with our physician customers and end users. In the coming months we will be implementing action plans that take advantage of these insights, as well as other analyses to achieve the following objectives: gaining a larger share of all potential consumers, further expanding the Company’s business model in non-core markets, establishing direct relationships with new consumers through technology, providing more convenient means for customers to purchase Obagi products and accelerating growth in certain Asian markets.  We have not taken our sights off the fact that Obagi is a tremendous brand.  We are very confident and enthusiastic about expanding our profitable platform and look forward to implementing our plans and reporting on our progress.”


 
 

 
 
Third Quarter Financial Guidance
Based on the actual and forecasted net sales impact tied to the withdrawal of product from Texas, and the seasonally softer trend for the third quarter, management expects net sales for the third quarter of 2011 to be in the range of $27.0 million to $28.5 million, and earnings per diluted share to be between $0.16 and $0.17.  The earnings per share guidance assumes dilutive shares at approximately 18.7 million shares.  The Company is also reiterating its current total year guidance of non-GAAP net sales in the range of $114.0 million to $116.0 million and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share to be between $0.75 and $0.78. The non-GAAP annual guidance excludes any impact related to the Zein Obagi litigation and the sales returns related to the Texas matter.
