Obagi Medical Products First Quarter 2012 Sales Rose 16% to a Record $30.8 Million; Highest Sales Quarter in Company History

LONG BEACH, Calif.—May 3, 2012 -- Obagi Medical Products, Inc. (Nasdaq:OMPI), a leader in topical aesthetic and therapeutic skin health systems, today reported that net sales for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012 rose 16% to a record $30.8 million from $26.5 million a year ago.
 
Net income for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012 totaled $3.0 million, or $0.16 per share on a fully diluted basis.  For the comparable quarter last year, Obagi reported a net loss of $2.4 million, or $0.13 per share.
 
First quarter 2012 gross margin was 79.7% compared with 79.4% a year ago.
 
Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2012 totaled $19.6 million compared to $24.9 million in the same period last year.
 
Expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2012 included approximately $1.5 million (or an impact of $0.05 on earnings per dilutive share) of pre-tax investment expenses for the development of a broad-based e-Commerce/online pharmacy and fulfillment platform and other related growth initiatives that were previously announced.  The comparable quarter last year included pre-tax litigation and settlement costs of approximately $7.2 million (or an impact of $0.23 on earnings per dilutive share).  All of these costs were reflected in operating expenses.
 
Al Hummel, the Company’s President and CEO stated, “I am pleased with this quarter’s performance, and I was especially happy to see our growth spread across all products and geographies.  Beyond the financial performance achieved during the quarter, we also made great progress toward implementation of our plans to establish a web-based marketing and fulfillment operation and to create a nationwide online pharmacy to support it.  We are confident that these programs and our other strategic initiatives will continue to drive strong revenue growth over the intermediate and long terms.

“While our new strategic initiatives are vital to the Company’s future, we remain dedicated to maintaining our category leadership through investment in research and development and quality assurance.  High performance in these important areas is required if we are to meet our goals of creating an even stronger brand and generating significantly greater growth,” said Mr. Hummel.

Company Reiterates 2012 Guidance; Provides Second Quarter 2012 Guidance
Today, management reiterated its previous financial guidance for 2012 of net sales between $119.0 million and $124.0 million and earnings per share $0.58 to $0.62 per diluted share.   This guidance continues to include plans for investments associated with establishing Obagi’s e-Commerce channel - a nationwide online pharmacy and fulfillment operation and other related growth initiatives of approximately $11.0 million, of which $3.0 million will be capitalized.  The $8.0 million that will be expensed during the year will reduce earnings per diluted share by approximately $0.29 to $0.31 and is reflected in the above guidance.

For the second quarter of 2012, Obagi estimates sales in the range of $29.0 million to $30.0 million and earnings on a GAAP basis, including the effect of e-Commerce and other investments, of between $0.13 and $0.14 per fully diluted share.

This guidance also assumes diluted shares of 18.8 million and an effective tax rate of 37.5%.
