PALOMAR MEDICAL REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR SECOND QUARTER 2012

 
BURLINGTON, MA (July 26, 2012)…Palomar Medical Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: PMTI), a global leader in laser and other light-based systems for aesthetic treatments, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012.
 
 
Second Quarter 2012 Year-Over-Year Financial Highlights Include:
 
·  
Total revenues of $19.7 million, up 21%
·  
Professional product revenues of $13.0 million, up 30%
·  
Professional product revenues gross margin remained consistent at 61%
·  
Consumer product revenues of $0.9 million. No consumer revenues were recognized in the second quarter last year.
·  
Consumer product revenues gross margin of 14%
·  
Loss before taxes of $1.5 million compared to 2011 loss before taxes of $3.9 million
·  
Net loss of $1.5 million or $0.08 per share compared to 2011 net loss of $4.0 million or $0.21 per share
·  
Cash and investments portfolio of $99 million
 
Chief Executive Officer Joseph P. Caruso commented, “We are very pleased with the continued growth of our professional business as we expand our product portfolio and make key investments in our distribution network. This quarter was the eleventh consecutive quarter of product revenue growth year-over-year.   Our professional aesthetic business is close to reaching profitability.”
 
Mr. Caruso continued, “We continue to upgrade our existing customers with our premium flagship platform, the Palomar Icon™ Aesthetic System, in North America and other strategic parts of the world where we have registration.  The Icon system is also opening new doors and expanding our installed base.  We are still in the regulatory registration process for many countries and will continue to sell the popular StarLux 500® system until we have registrations in all areas around the world. The Icon platform is the next generation of aesthetic system with melanin detection technology, high peak powers, state of the art cooling, built-in calibration, and an intuitive user interface to provide fast treatments with excellent outcomes and superior user experience.”
 
Mr. Caruso added, “In June, we expanded our professional product line with the first shipments of the Vectus system.  Vectus is a high powered diode laser hair removal system.  It is the most powerful diode-based laser system of its kind, with both a large area and a small area tip for full body and small area treatments.  The intuitive user interface software and speed make it a natural addition or replacement for any aesthetic hair removal practice.  It also comes standard with the Skintel Melanin Optical Density reader that helps the physician deliver the most consistent treatment parameters with the most predictable results.  During the quarter, we also began shipping our low price non-ablative fractional laser named the Emerge™ Fractional Laser. We have leveraged many of our consumer products technologies and manufacturing processes to substantially reduce cost and enable us to offer this entry level professional system at a very attractive price.  We believe this attractive price point will expand our customer base and allow us to cross sell our full line of professional laser and light-based aesthetic systems. Physician feedback for both has been very positive.” 
 
Mr. Caruso continued, “As we continue to advance our consumer product strategy through the PaloVia® Skin Renewing Laser®, we are gaining valuable knowledge of the market and collecting feedback from the retail channel and our consumers.  Although this new category of light-based aesthetic products is not profitable in the short-term, it is providing us with access to a base of consumers that has never been exposed to our professional products or technology.”

About Palomar Medical Technologies, Inc.: Palomar designs, produces and sells the most advanced cosmetic lasers and intense pulsed light (IPL) systems to dramatically improve the appearance of women’s and men’s skin.  For over 15 years, Palomar has pioneered the science of using lasers and light to improve appearances. As the industry’s technology leader, Palomar has invested in creating cosmetic laser and IPL systems that put real value in the hands of physicians and other professionals to benefit consumers.  Thousands of physicians worldwide trust and depend on Palomar technology to not only introduce new aesthetic treatments such as advanced laser hair removal, laser liposuction, skin resurfacing, acne, laser treatments for scars, wrinkle treatment, stretch marks (striae), and photofacials for pigmented and vascular lesions, but to also make them robust, faster, more powerful, and more comfortable for those being treated.  In June 2009, Palomar became the first company to receive a 510(k) over-the-counter (“OTC”) clearance from the FDA for a new, patented, home-use, laser device for the treatment of fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes (periorbital wrinkles). This OTC clearance allows the PaloVia® Skin Renewing Laser® to be marketed and sold directly to consumers without a prescription.
